asciilifeform: worked for netscape ? partied with jwz ? sat on itu standards committee ? there is a pick at butugychag with yer name on it.
asciilifeform: and bury long-lived reactor waste there, for good measure.
asciilifeform: the one problem, shared with every other piece like this that i know of, is that it omits the obvious cure, which is not simply to thermonuke the crud, but to kill the horse it rode in on, and the rider, and to burn the field that it fed on, and salt it.
asciilifeform: (which is a shame, this is a great piece imho)
asciilifeform: or to html ver that is missing one word in 5 from original...
asciilifeform: nobody, so paid in mig rides and cuntjuice
asciilifeform: there are other untaxable unsalaries, unoptions, e.g., jet rides, etc.
asciilifeform: 'About 800 Montgomery Blair High School students attended the rally at the stadium, and most returned to class afterward, Montgomery County Public Schools spokeswoman Gboyinde Onijala said.'
asciilifeform: (for non-u.s. folk: this is not a thing normally permitted)
asciilifeform: https://archive.is/OulNa << can't say that herr soros is spent quite yet!111 they are marching out ~high school~ pupils to 'protest' nao.
asciilifeform: this is what i meant when said 'theoretically - yes'
asciilifeform: as in, the thing gets hashed, and db gets queried for the hash, and for the fp (these are two separate and not wholly overlapping ways to index pgp keys) to see if we already have either
asciilifeform: (incidentally -- it was mandated, by microshit. purely as show of force.)
asciilifeform: and ever power switch, on every box i've had since my 'cyrix' 486-dx, was promisetronic.
asciilifeform: whole thing is a crock of shit, for quite fundamental reasons -- let teenage cocklets design infrastructure, it will look like www stack every time.
asciilifeform: also has to do with ubiquitously broken software (why the fuck is it possible for www site's scripts to MODIFY THE CLIPBOARD??)
asciilifeform: promisetronic 'verifications' are an eternal plague among the stupid. consider even the timestamp in gpg (to make the phuctor sig from last night's qntra, i used ordinary gpg 1.4, with patch). what business does a userland proggy have asking for the wall clock time without permission? if i want it to have a time, i will pipe 'date' to it...
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: as was said about hruschev, 'его ушли'
asciilifeform: (that forest of office towers around wh is full of these, traditionally)
asciilifeform: speaking of public amusement, word is that ~all~ 3,000 or so obummer 'staffers' are quitting. and now being replaced.☟︎
asciilifeform: i picture that even this gets old. (though i will still buy ticket!)
asciilifeform: even solving spam 'captcha' is better with machine.
asciilifeform: at this point i cannot think of what these 'bees' might be good for, they are not even bees, but roaches, there is no roach candle wax afaik.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: they never, afaik, published one single factor.
asciilifeform: phuctor is a living illustration of the tradeoffs of 'muntzing'. it is ~100 % reliable, and (aside from the unicode turdolade) demonstrably bug-free. but this comes at a price.
asciilifeform: (they, as everyone probably already guessed, get db queried one-at-a-time. to do anything else would result in a 50x more complicated phuctor.)
asciilifeform: betcha even if this is slow, it is still faster than feeding'em into the db currently
asciilifeform: why should henninger et al and their 'seekrit evidence' remain 'state of art'
asciilifeform: because these, imho, ought to go next.
asciilifeform: btw quite a few of those boxen you can log into, right ~now~
asciilifeform: though i will point out that i do not conclusively know this about ~all~ of them, only all of the ones that are still alive at the ip where they turned up in june...
asciilifeform: this would be a slightly more interesting imho exercise if the popped boxes were not all routers/webcams/etc where no one hangs on shell
asciilifeform: i presently know of no system that ships with remote-login-with-key-auth enabled by default. does not mean that there isn't such a thing.
asciilifeform: Framedragger: it is ~possible~ to use 0000...0 as ssh key..
asciilifeform: aite, somewhere, there could be a maniac who configured his box for ssh ~login~ , and with same key as some such in phuctor.
