asciilifeform: (rsa pubkeys are one-to-one with privkeys)
asciilifeform: if you must hash something, you hash pubkey
asciilifeform: why the fuck would you ever hash a privkey
asciilifeform: it is quite inappropriate for battlefield pubkeys.
asciilifeform: Framedragger: phuctor's scheme is sufficient for distinguishing pgp keys with same moduli but variant metafields from one another, and for no other purpose.
asciilifeform: btw 'fingerprint' is a enough of a catastrophic retardation that it deserves own thread
asciilifeform: 'as they are now' is catastrophically braindamaged
asciilifeform: naggum had some imho interesting detail re 'magic numbers', and how they are not born from empty space, but are gangrenously oozed eternally by pathologically misdesigned systems where operator is FORCED to lie about foreknowledge of field sizes, types, etc.
asciilifeform has been planning to do this for most of a year now, but has not enough hands
asciilifeform: btw if anyone is looking for something to do, getting hold of a copy of diddled freebsd and generating several hundred thousand ssh and pgp keys, would be spiffy
asciilifeform: an page this passage has been removed.'
asciilifeform: in other ( https://archive.is/WOLLO ) lulz, 'When you take a look at the implementation of /dev/random in [freebsd] 11.0 you will notice that with the support of the new random algorithms (fortuna has replaced yarrow), there is also support to feed the entropy with a write call to /dev/random. The 10.x releases do not support this write call. The man page previously said for 10.3 that writes will be silently ignored and in the 11.0 m
asciilifeform: lel i was about to ask, what's a pss and where is ord
asciilifeform: that's approx. (~very~ conservative estimate!) what it would cost if it were made with 0 chinese input.
asciilifeform: (how many american folx are ready to pay $500,000 for a 'ford' ?)
asciilifeform: ditto the 'bring J0BZZZ!!!! back from china' thing
asciilifeform: where white folk work in factories, on farms, etc.
asciilifeform: shinohai: 'wall' was a catch-all name for the (economically impossible) notion of bringing back 1952
asciilifeform: 'People in the myriad “alt-right” communities that have flourished online in recent years are also expressing their displeasure that Trump appears to have abandoned the most extreme of his policies – at least for now – such as building a wall and prosecuting Hillary Clinton.'
asciilifeform: jurov: the knobs are at http://bots.contravex.com (to which asciilifeform will admit he must refer to regularly, the two-char syntaxes are terrible imho )
asciilifeform: there is already a tall pile of otherwise unremarkable sites that won't display in latest Official version of any ssltronic browser on account of 'obsolete protocol' or wtf.
asciilifeform: i will be surprised if before the end of '17 'google chrome' and similar do not yet warn 'THIS NEWS SITE MAY BE FAEK', sorta how it now is beginning to do for ssl abstainers
asciilifeform: trinque: nyt et all are transitioning to a very explicit 'pravda' model.
asciilifeform: trinque: the 'fake newz' crapolade is being quite purposefully and deliberately drummed up, 'anything without the magic blue authenticity logo is FAEK' or the like.
asciilifeform: the photos of 'victim kidz' added to the mix is same gambit as when the 'martians did it' folx were turned loose upon '9/11 truth'.
asciilifeform: ''He did tell me what he thought were the biggest problems, in particular one problem," Trump says. Won't say what that was.' << mega-lul
asciilifeform: 'When Mr. Trump was asked whether he condemned an alt-right conference over the weekend in Washington, where some attendees raised their arms in a Hitler-like salute, he said, “I disavow and condemn them.”'
asciilifeform: 'Mr. Trump denied that his campaign had energized the so-called alt-right movement, saying he disavowed it. “It’s not a group I want to energize,” he said. “And if they are energized, I want to look into it and find out why.”'
asciilifeform: Framedragger: in as far as i can tell, it is a very ordinary trap for the wotless/unwary/eager young'uns, 'alt-right'-style.
asciilifeform: Framedragger: it is also full of cribbed likbez material.
asciilifeform: pray tell, what does this 'prove' and to whom ?
asciilifeform: 'upload your privkey, or let us make a very very speshul one FOR YOU!'
asciilifeform: Framedragger: why would a user who is able to 'paste signatures from external program' need a thing like keybase ?
asciilifeform: Framedragger: point is that wwwtronic crapolade can introduce arbitrary disjunction between what luser is doing and what he thinks he is doing.
asciilifeform: (in one variant; always; in another - whenever they feel like serving up slightly different js to the chump)
asciilifeform: greedy algo ~worx~. but it leads to the question of what the 'thinker' needs all of those extra neurons for. a dozen would suffice.
asciilifeform: btw i once went to an 'alt-right' thing in dc. (with herr handle & co.!) -- and iirc literally everybody in the room was some form of j000
asciilifeform: monkey never read knuth, but runs 'greedy algorithm'
