frankenmint: sweet, is this
a temp thing that needs to be set via gpg confirm each time I want voice assigned automatically?
adlai has only heard about it secondhand as
a complaint, so b&hammers are likely on their way already
mircea_popescu: heck, i lived in
a time when people smoked on planes, to no detriment.
mircea_popescu: i lived in
a time when travel took more than "boarding"
mircea_popescu: sit around in govt checkout booth, then go for
a slutwalk and mcdonalds takeout.

BingoBoingo: jurov: Care to qntra
a piece or are your shiva hands full too?
trinque: Some states initially refused to comply, fearing that the feds would make
a national database of citizens. << lulzy

☟︎ ascii_field: '1. Books ghost written for
a Fox news Op-ed figure, 2. Jingoistic tomes on the defeat of the evil Nazi empire by “the greatest generation” of Americans, revealing as yet unfathomed Nazi evils and under-appreciated American heroics. [WWII is no longer, apparently recognized as having had
a Russian or Japanese component, and the Third Reich is represented as an engine of global extermination that was
BingoBoingo: <ascii_field> jurov: then we stego on
a 'recognizable' structure << 1024 nudes encoding!
ascii_field: it is quite simple to ignore the apparent originating ip because we always know where
a valid packet came from - based on which pubkey on your end is able to validate the sig.
ascii_field: jurov: then we stego on
a 'recognizable' structure
ascii_field: we can readily communicate over
a hostile net, using scheme described earlier
ascii_field: at no point must
a gossip packet's apparent source ip be treated as meaningful.
assbot: Logged on 28-11-2015 20:29:36; phf: so gossip should be able to accept variable size packets,
a naive version is to have our own header, {headerbit,body size} followed by body. in case of gpg backend we feed body to gpgme, let it figure things out.
a better option is to have
a (rudimentary?) parser for opengpg packets, and only accept
a fixed subset of packet sequences, or specifically what you get when you encrypt
a message with gpg. {pubkey enc
mod6: This is
a clean break point to start working on the rest of these large pieces such as the mempool.
☟︎ mod6: Not
a lot really remains left for v054. I'm in the process of getting all of the 3rd party deps, listed and then will sign and find
a place for them on the website. Then I need to update my build script so it pulls and verifies all of that stuff from our own host. Beyond that, I just need to publish the v054-RELEASE patch I've been sitting on. Then Mr. Vulpes & I will need to sign all the vpatches and post 'em to the mailing list.
mod6: Perhaps these additional major changes will go in one release at
a time. And, we've been here before, but I'd like to keep the changes per release down to something manageable.
mod6: depends on what makes sense. i'll need all the help I can get. either we put in the work that needs doing and you have
a republic, or you don't.
☟︎ mod6: maybe we can take these things, quarter at
a time.
mod6: then get these tasks written up and broken down if possible as
a road map for '16.
mod6: we've got
a lot of work in front of us for '16.
☟︎ ben_vulpes: won't you end up in
a situation
a la bitcoin where the ip is encoded into the message itself?
ben_vulpes: i was under the impression that
a first gossip packet was
a signed nonce so that the implementation could drop all subsequent packets at its convenience.
phf: i'm not sure what's to be done about DoS attacks though. body size caps? we have
a handful of protections allowed by the carrier (only accepting messages from certain ips, etc), but ultimately can get
a spoofed 4gb bundle and will not know that the data is spoofed until have the whole thing, and try and verify/decrypt it

☟︎ ascii_field: l0l if i even knew how to steal
a broken cent properly
ascii_field: me: 'i'd be looking for
a kaisyaku for the seppuku'
mircea_popescu: company with 9980 satoshi/share in capital on the books nevertheless trading at 5500. now that's one hell of
a performance.
mircea_popescu: anyway, in the even keeled view of the matter,
a person can only be participating in one death march at
a time. since you're working with some other company, and it doesn't seem to be wanting to list itself, we need an engineer actually working for s.nsa ?
ascii_field: undercapitalized cat is undercapitalized ? afaik s.nsa can't afford even 1/3rd of
a whole engineer
mircea_popescu: but if your thoughts are figured out before you sell the thing, you will forever be looking for
a job.
mircea_popescu: if only we had
a cardano ready to ship so this discussion could double as marketing for the s.nsa next product.
mircea_popescu: the whole txn memory mapping could be
a soac thing, and you just plug memory sticks into it which each becomes
a ring.
ascii_field: the one with 'what makes you sorry lot think you get seats in heaven? there's
a 20 metre cube fermentation tank...' or sumthinglikethat
ascii_field: so now i have
a bit moar sympathy for the pebble folk
mircea_popescu: there's
a lot of work can be done to minimize wastage in this, but the fundamental problem is solved.
mircea_popescu: anyway, re the <jurov> lol part : there's
a very obvious optimization where you go
a) i want to fit this struct ; b) is there space ? if yes fit it if no c) kill the lowest per-byte value struct in there go back to
a jurov: ascii_field: what do you think about slab allocator? i know it adds
a layer of complication, but may be worth it
mircea_popescu: but
a firm guarantee can be offered that for as long as you allocate structs smaller than n, you wioll be able to fit them.
mircea_popescu: how to do either of these is
a problem of optimization outside the scope of this discussion.
mircea_popescu: whenever you want to add something, you put it in the available hole. if you don't have
a hole you kill something until you do.
jurov: and then
a medium txfee transaction comes you, to throw one free tx out to make space.. but it won§t fit
ascii_field: usg has
a number of own pediwikia-like creations, iirc
mircea_popescu: "oh, she's only
a slut i nthe hood, she washes up nice when going downtown"
mircea_popescu: "If the space of possible messages is larger than the size of , then Cramer–Shoup may be used in
a hybrid cryptosystem to improve efficiency on long messages. Note that it is not possible to split the message into several pieces and encrypt each piece independently, because the chosen-ciphertext security property is not preserved in this way."
mircea_popescu: "Cryptol is
a domain-specific language for specifying cryptographic algorithms.
A Cryptol implementation of an algorithm resembles its mathematical specification"
ascii_field: not even
a bad idea, it's this vaguely standardml-like contraption where you try to prove that your crypto alg works as specced
ascii_field: lulzily related, i was recently having
a quiet laugh at usg's version of 'p'
ascii_field: well if mircea_popescu can locate another me but one that doesn't work
a day job, he can ask for one
ascii_field: ('slow' is
a curable thing, generally; 'bloated' is not)
ascii_field: otherwise he does not know if
a particular packet got decrypted & relayed
mircea_popescu: node m connects to
A, sends garbage. if
A manages to decrypt it, M will see it.
mircea_popescu: suppose you build
a node. your node "doesn't answer", but it DOES publish the relayed txn somewhere.
mircea_popescu: ascii_field your gossipd node is stuck doing
a version of this.
mircea_popescu:
a few years after its introduction to "forever fix" the nonsensical problem of "turning
a stateless protocol into
a stateful connection"
mircea_popescu: (acca/cca2 = adaptive chosen cyphertext. it's an attack where you sort the cyphertexts in
a tree, then send them to be decrypted
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: l0l, think the thing is
a hog now ? try with shoup
mircea_popescu: imagine, having to either
a) ignore the matter or b) make
a point that the evil people are not-using its beloved shitscheme!
mircea_popescu: then threw
a fit when random barbarian landed and took your wonders ?
mircea_popescu: were you the derpy sort of player that never built
a phalanx ?
ascii_field: if anyone asked me, i would answer '
a btc de-usgized from the minerals up', which means not only silicon but
a non-ecc cryptosig, and
a number of other refinements
mircea_popescu: but anyway,
a btc with ringbuffer mempool, with the aforediscussed scoring mechanism for discounting txn, with encrypted connections and using any port is probablty good enough. hard to tell.
mircea_popescu: well i don't even know yet. vaguely defined, "
a btc that won't give my computer hives"
ascii_field: and usg is, after all, mainly
a plankton filter feeder
ascii_field: took'em
a good while to glue all the envirowhiner sects into one juggernaut, aha
mircea_popescu: anyway, my data seems to suggest that the enemy will be pushing
a fork before the decade's out. whether we at that time have
a counterfork ready or not is pretty much what decides the fate of the free world.

a "data structures" prior years earlier.

☟︎ mircea_popescu: "whenever you do
a murder, you make 25 mistakes ; if you remember five of them afterwards you're lucky."
mircea_popescu: seems easier to believe
a lone wolf is dumb than clever.
mircea_popescu: of course, there's
a 2nd layer of problems : had the code been neatly written by someone obviously clueful as to the fundamentals of computer programming, would we have believed.
mircea_popescu: someone would have benefited immensely from
a decent class in data structures.
