BingoBoingo: Was obvious
to spot who
the counterparty was when
they entered
the public meeting space. Meanwhile I had been comfortable seated for a bit with coffees on
the
table.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Used a web escrow
thing
to keep
the kitten comfortable,
they deliver benjies, I hit
the release escrow button.
BingoBoingo: Did not get mugged, he sent his girlfriend instead of appearing himself (or secretly is
the girl)

The operation succeeded.

there is ~some~ actual substance
to it, however it's almost entirely a subclass of being a systems programmer.

that I was a post-doc at some point in life

a111: Logged on 2018-01-23 11:47 diana_coman: question for anyone who studied keccak: do you see any reason for keccak itself
to care about msb/lsb?
the way I see it, keccak works at bit level, so it eats a stream of bits in
the order
they come in and it outputs another stream of bits in
the order
they come out, no need for lsb/msb dance per se

there's complicated considerations involved, but principally determinant
two : first, and absolutely unsurmountable, is
that such products do not add any value, but are merely used in
the way witches use crystal balls. exactly in
the way.
therefore,
the more popular witches decide
the brand of "best" crystal balls

that, I'm not really looking
to sell 0day exploits, I mean starting a security company
to provide penetration
testing services
to companies. A lot of places are required
to hire a pentester or
team of pentesters

the people buying belgian rubber concessions on
the stock exchanges, you make money. if you're in africa, you make quick with
the hands and feet.
a111: Logged on 2015-03-06 03:29 mircea_popescu: making money is a purely ~political~ function. if you are among
the favoured elite of
the respublica veneta, you
then may invest in
the ships, and make a profit. if not, not.
a111: Logged on 2018-01-23 06:25 douchebag: Eventually, I would like
to start a company of some sort providing security solutions
to companies as well as hire pentesters
to work for me.

there are
two overlapping misguiding
things here. one is,
the
tournament market. you wouldn't imagine singer/songwriters are better off
than you because britney spears, would you ? nor would you imagine "pundits are rich" because oprah, or limbaugh or whatever.
a111: Logged on 2018-01-23 06:19 douchebag: mircea_popescu: I want a career as a pentester, so far I feel I'm doing pretty good in
terms of getting experience and reputation in
the community. Do you have any suggestions for ways I
that could get further on my career path?
a111: Logged on 2018-01-23 06:12 douchebag: And low level memory exploitation?
Those are some areas I'm interested in learning about but I need
to learn more.
mircea_popescu: douchebag re last night's convo : spyked is actually a (retiring, i
think ?) security professor / researcher, you might want
to also check out his blog.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> how much did
that
thing
take ? << site
takes 1%, arrangements
took little
time
to make
shinohai: Oh it's running
the same Arch linux from old days, contains a copy of
trb blockchain and naught else.
shinohai: My pogo has
the pl2303x driver :/
mircea_popescu: shinohai better
titles! FUCKGOATS-unboxing.html why not.
BingoBoingo: Meet at mall of my choosing, drink coffee, escrow
through
the localbitcoins site, hopefully get useful information on el clima aca.
mircea_popescu: no way
to link
to selection, but grep for "Original first"
mircea_popescu: in other news, it's so great
that you can
take a 2 year old article and it's actually fucking useful. but -- a point i
think wasn't mentioned and it's a pity : i ~really~ like ben_vulpes code indentation style.
those bars.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> contract number, something. does your contract have a number ? << Asking. I have my registration number, but I am asking
them for clarity.
mircea_popescu: need an acct # or something, it gets put in
the notes.
mircea_popescu: btw BingoBoingo,
the
thing with
the wire :
the receiver has
to have some way
to identify it was ~you~ who sent it.
this isn't bitcoin,
this is legacy ebcdic crapola, you can very well end up in
the situation of "well, we did receive some money mr, but what says it's yours".
mircea_popescu: i was mostly
trying
to ascertain whether he's got what
to eat left.
diana_coman: that is actually clearer
than
the monthly statements, BingoBoingo
BingoBoingo: Yeah, I am just now starting
to feel less physically ill
BingoBoingo: Apologies for
the failure
to label clearly
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo aite ;
the one
thing missing from your enumeration
there, is "gpgram me
the story of bbisp fiat holdings ab origine." ; what
this means is, i want a list showing "hey, i got $8500 (or w/e
the fuck it was) and i spent x, y, z, k, l, leaving me with q". you wrote me a story, as a literary exercise, i want a numeric
thing. gpg & send.
mircea_popescu: esthlos it is not standard procedure ;
the emerging consensus is
to have a dedicated philosophy file which a) all patches must
touch (by protocol) ; b) contains comments as
to
the patcher's state of mind and c) contains one line per patch uniquely identifying it, machine generated.
the format's not fixed yet, but as phf is working on a new proper vdiff it's probably going
to coalesce around a variant of whatever he uses.
☟︎☟︎☟︎ a111: Logged on 2018-01-23 03:38 mircea_popescu: other
than
that,
these details are disfunctional. compile an actually correct and complete set, without "to be filled later" metasyntactic notations.
a111: Logged on 2018-01-23 01:43 mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo you know
this $800 accountant was deeply fucking useless ; no bank account, no vat anullment, wtf.
a111: Logged on 2018-01-23 03:40 mircea_popescu: and in general if
this current
trend continues of 1. i ask for something ; 2. you deliver something entirely else ; 3. i point
this out ; 4. nothing happens we're going
to have a serious problem. how did you figure
these are wire details, what, you never in your life saw a wire ? wtf is "Beneficiario Final: (Razón Social o Nombre Completo del Cliente y N° de Cuenta en Montevideo)" ?
esthlos: to determine if b.vpatch descends from a.vpatch, my idea is
to scan
through b.vpatch and ensure
that each ---(file,hash) matches some +++(file,hash) in a.vpatch. is
this
the standard procedure?
☟︎ diana_coman: question for anyone who studied keccak: do you see any reason for keccak itself
to care about msb/lsb?
the way I see it, keccak works at bit level, so it eats a stream of bits in

☟︎ trinque: when you have a working v-tron locally maybe someone will give you something
to do with it.
trinque: douchebag: mostly read, and start with
those articles mircea_popescu gave you.
diana_coman: douchebag, what do you want
to sign up for?
mircea_popescu: actually, hanbot is about
to genesis mp-wp, you're more
than welcome
to help down with
the paring down effort of
that, if you want. mostly php.
☟︎ douchebag: If you have any other sites you'd want me
to check out I can do
that
douchebag: In other news, I
think
this week I'm going
to focus on finding an exploit in Pulse Connect Secure and writing a blog about
that
hanbot: ty phf & mod6 for vdiff/ulimit fixes --former did
the
trick, hopefully i'll never need
the latter but noted
to self in case.
douchebag: Oh nah, I have done my fair share of experimenting with drugs but I no longer partake in
that kind of stuff
trinque: it's a circular business, wheel has
to start somewhere
trinque: yeah,
they give you
the ambien
to sleep,
then
the amphetamines
to get going,
then
the xanax
to smooth out
the amphetamine jitters
douchebag: trinque: I was only prescribed sleeping medications because I find it very difficult
to fall asleep, but
that is unrelated
douchebag: Eh, I was mentioning
that stuff as a way
to show how my "autism" doesn't negatively impact my life
trinque is curious if
the diagnosis came with a prescription.
trinque: bit sad you're calling
that a disease, eh?
douchebag: I feel
that it's quite useful in
terms of learning new stuff
douchebag: Eh, I'm not ashamed of myself I'm rather happy I am
the way I am. Honestly
trinque: anyhow "having something" is a fashionable way of distracting from your parents having utterly failed you, meaning
to or not.
trinque: douchebag: are you by chance from one of
these hyper advanced nordic countries?
douchebag: I also have an extremely good memory compared
to most people, I can remember very specific details about events and conversations
that happened years prior
☟︎ douchebag: Idk, what I mean is
that I cannot relate
to others easily and I have noticed
throughout my life
that I get much more obsessed with my interest
than normal people.
mircea_popescu: the average sex of
the human race is half a ballsac with a labia.
douchebag: If
they got it wrong, I don't know what I have. I certainly know I'm not like most people
trinque: this is indeed not autism. it's
the cinders left where rage sits
too long, used for nothing.
douchebag: When I was younger I
told a
therapist
that and she said
that's all common for people with autism, and
then I was diagnosed with autism my a doctor

trinque spent months years ago not
talking
to a soul except as needed at work
mircea_popescu: i dunno where you got
these ideas, but
they're without basis in fact or any merit whatsoever.
douchebag: idk, just
typical autism stuff except I am a pretty normal person in
terms of behaving properly, I don't enjoy social interaction much but I don't mind it
mircea_popescu: honestly your problem might be overexposure
to underqualified "social workers" aka bums.
