BingoBoingo: The thing is this Encrypt the keystrokes to beat keyloggers turd smells like pure security theatre and little else
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: what intel overestimated was the ability of microshit to shoehorn their turd into exotic cpu. turned out to be nil. (nt on alpha - never entirely worked. etc)
jurov: server is quite turd-ish if you wanna run own
benkay: plus cpp turd
asciilifeform: doesn't support comments, in the usual sense. instead, when you 'comment', it... reposts the turd on your own 'tumblr'
asciilifeform: afaik it's the only turd of its kind.
asciilifeform: life in literal sense. little oasis in a parched desert of dry turd.
asciilifeform: to be fair this is precisely the kind of turd i would order 'leaked' as a hangout op
asciilifeform: Yann Collet << not because he wrote the turd. (though it alone might suffice!) - because of what he said afterward.
asciilifeform: mycelium machine << it still isn't clear to me - are they actually sampling an sram, or just using atmel's turd which purports to do so internally
asciilifeform: justusranvier: let's try degenerate case. 'mr x owes mr y the following amount, in satoshis...' [followed by a 100MB turd from rng]
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: if it's a 'xilinx' or 'altera' - you're stuck with the vendor's closed turd.
asciilifeform: no space for a multi-GB turd.
rithm: or is the mining turd still prevalent
mthreat: <mircea_popescu> btw mthreat wouldja be interested in filling in the logs for the first missing year, and generate a drop-in blob kakobrekla can put into his log thing too ? << I got asciilifeform's ba-turd file. But I'm not sure what format kako wants. search.b-a gets all of its info from log.b-a by crawling, since I link to it in the search results.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: http://www.loper-os.org/pub/ba-turd.txt.gz
asciilifeform: does somebody still have log gaps? i've got a nearly continuous ~90MB turd starting at oct. 2012
asciilifeform: these will get upgraded. because they're already running on crashy turd, no big change
decimation: not many of them in turd world countries or the ocean...
asciilifeform: so, not really hardware wp. kernel level turd can (and will) diddle an u3 partition
asciilifeform: a more interesting fact is that, if you open a consumer usb turd that has a wp toggle, it is - afaik - never connected to the flash rom proper
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: In other news I found the turd that crashed firefox... Gnu Gnash. Firefox somehow installed it as it upgraded. Firefox now when I deign it to run, runs from jail.
mircea_popescu: cause when you go "let's do this thing that'll make our worthless turd look valuable" that's what you're doing.
asciilifeform: ^ turd concerns the use of a well-known mitm gizmo for cellular
asciilifeform: at one point, some years ago, i tried to build the turd intel was passing off as their version of 'open source bios'
asciilifeform: mine was an ascii turd that came with the warez.
asciilifeform: afaik only to bury turd
asciilifeform: they will see to it that as much of the turd as possible lives on, remains ubiquitous.
asciilifeform: zeus trojan << very educational case. zeus is a very poorly designed turd, but it is smashingly popular on account of a thousand spamz0r idiots buying 'custom' builds and paying to have them spammed out to chumps. see also one of mp's old articles on spam being a 'cargo cult.'
decimation: looking at the end-to-end turd, it appears that they do support many ciphers: aes.js aeskeywrap_testdata.js blowfish.js cipher.js ciphertext.js ecdh.js elgamal.js idea.js rsa.js workerservice.js
asciilifeform: jurov: olpc was a microshaft brainwashing project (admitted as much! hence why it shipped with an x86 turd instead of a cheaper risc cpu)
jurov: asciilifeform here they say typical ransfer time 4ms and that's just cheapest 60euro turd: http://eu.cyberpowersystems.com/products/ups_systems/value/value1000eilcd.htm
asciilifeform: your simulated annealing turd won't converge, you'll sit & curse the gods
benkay: uninspectable turd
benkay: yeah but yubikey is turd
benkay: asciilifeform: on a scale of zero to turd, what's your take on the gnupg 'fellowship' smartcard?
asciilifeform: the 'votrax' voice synth that the ubiquitous unix 'speak' command was originally meant for came as a huge breadbox-sized potted turd
asciilifeform: i really can't fathom the purpose of buying a mystery meat hardware rng. if you're willing to eat mystery meat, why not use the vlsi turd found in current cpu? ☟︎
asciilifeform: watching sewer pipe cleaning was more interesting than the linked reddit turd.
davout: just skimmed over the coindesk turd, can't go unpunished
fluffypony: asciilifeform:re: monero et al: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/CryptoNight <- the wiki says that, the whitepaper says otherwise. even the site says "Our algorithm requires about 2 Mb per instance" - whoever edited the wiki is clearly a turd.
asciilifeform: people buy something with 'triz' in the title, and get... a turd
asciilifeform: bitcoinpete: read that turd; kept waiting for the seemingly-obligatory mention of 'galt's gulch' - disappointed! not there!
asciilifeform: there was at least 200g of turd in there.
decimation: donno. la wik says he's polishing the dropbox turd: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guido_van_Rossum
asciilifeform: lucky none of my apple boxes have this turd installed.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: that apple turd was an epic derpamatic, incidentally. ~500k views to date.
asciilifeform: i'd have bet, on account of the first page or two of the turd smelling of crafted disinfo
steven-__: but now that its not a turd they took it away
steven-__: they let him own a turd
BingoBoingo: Well if someone wants to own a turd, they can own a turd.
asciilifeform: that turd includes at least one outright lie
gribble: The Golden Turd - American Dad! Wiki - Roger, Steve, Stan: <http://americandad.wikia.com/wiki/The_Golden_Turd>; The Gold Turd Returns - American Dad - Adult Swim Video: <http://video.adultswim.com/american-dad/the-gold-turd-returns.html>; Roger (American Dad!) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roger_(American_Dad!)>
kakobrekla: the story of golden turd
asciilifeform: bitcoinpete: not sure why they should talk to me. instead, they should talk to the poor schmucks who buy the closed turd. and apologize to them.
asciilifeform: fluffypony: that came out a hex turd here.
asciilifeform: go, polish a turd.
artifexd: "Smoke? Anchor? Turd?" <- I don't understand the reference
BingoBoingo: Smoke? Anchor? Turd?
asciilifeform: anyone who is curious what mr. spam wants should put on gas mask and read the turd.
benkay: rolling a known turd into bitcoin
asciilifeform: a turd 'by any other name would smell as...'
BingoBoingo: But they happened because it is easy to "circle the wagons around the cesspool buying time to fish out another turd for sale"
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: just about anything that involves a book-length standard, esp. with the familiar committees, is an inevitable turd.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: it's a bigger issue than one particular C turd
asciilifeform: or rather, broadcom's on-chip turd
asciilifeform: yeah - but the new turd craps out a blob rsa'd to square's public key.
nubbins`: that really is a crypto-turd
asciilifeform: i set the 'bozo bit' on 'square' when they caved in to the FUD and replaced their purely-analogue card reader with an elaborate crypto turd
nubbins`: turd meister?
asciilifeform: (last turd. anyone who wants more can visit the site)
asciilifeform: where'd the turd come from?
asciilifeform: amazing how $300K machine comes with visual basic turd that often physically destroys the enclosure when the thing boots (carriages get sent to the axis limits, because $300K apparently doesn't buy you limit switches...)
asciilifeform: curtis found a dog turd, dried for years, and decided that it is hard enough to whittle bullet from
asciilifeform: bounce: not because the thing isn't a turd - it is - but it is then necessary to explain why other people's coins have stayed put.
asciilifeform: nubbins`: raspi is a turd in 20 different ways.
asciilifeform: author of that turd 'knows' that he won't be personally sold, and it shows. (not by itself damning - authors of designs for meat processing plants don't expect to ever become chickens, either. but in this case it spoils the flavour in a rather obvious way.)
asciilifeform: but when using a turd downloaded from ? (was it lavarand? or john walker's geiger? wish i remembered) it took minutes.
gribble: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=PGP | PGP. A pubic hair in plain view of the public, usually found on a toilet seat. Pube Gone Public. Instead of sitting on the toilet to unload my turd, I hovered over it ...
asciilifeform: (so they can make up arbitrary turd and attribute it to the victim)
asciilifeform: lol. intel's porta-turd cancelled?
asciilifeform: i don't have anything against a man who eats turd. but i will eat, and serve my friends, sausage. not turd.
asciilifeform: i read the first turd, and my puny brain was utterly unable to determine wtf the deal was.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: a turd that port scans wantonly would appear to be uncommonly poor workmanship even for usg.
kakobrekla: its closer to turd master, by the cover and by the content
kakobrekla: am i the only one that thinks 'turd master' ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the 'entropy' link was epic. author deserves some kind of medal. 'Order of Golden Turd, First Class' ?
asciilifeform: anybody got the binary turd?
BingoBoingo: ThickAsThieves: He was clever enough to get three quarters of a million BTC under his control. It would make sense that he could try to frame things such that he admits to being a turd, but not that ponzi wop kind of turd
asciilifeform: this also works at the turd stand
asciilifeform: that is, 'look at the flies, it must be a turd'
asciilifeform: ThickAsThieves: imagine if technology were possible! he could simply whisper 'this turd will not bear my pgp signature' and be done.
mircea_popescu: rather than leaving the turd floating on a billion dollars.
asciilifeform: it is so i need a shoebox full of these phones, rather than 1 or 2, to extract whatever turd may be of interest therein.
asciilifeform: the turd is unremarkable; quite like the usual winblows rootkit, except for the fact of 1) ships in stock bios on most x86 laptops and 2) c&c servers eschew authentication or crypto (!)
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: in case you missed, beautiful turd: http://www.securelist.com/en/analysis/204792325/Absolute_Computrace_Revisited
asciilifeform: just as every NYT turd is guaranteed to mention 'mtgox, the premier exchange,...' whenever it runs a piece on btc
decimation: perhaps it will be possible that a group of pissed off Euros will invade some reasonable turd world country and create a colony
mircea_popescu: i mean " multi-MB nsa turd in lua" shoud have read "the lua in the multi-MB nsa turd"
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: there was genuine lua in the turd
