asciilifeform: it can also inject crapolade, into any tcp stream whatsoever. this is not a hypothetical, the actual mechanism that is actually used was recently discovered.
asciilifeform: as happens many times every day on our trb nodes.
asciilifeform: usg can reset any and all tcp connections whenever it feels like it.
asciilifeform: it is ALSO evil because it sends anything whatsoever in the cleartext (sequence number, for instance, and RESET)
asciilifeform: hence the existence of such a thing as a syn flood.
asciilifeform: tcp is evil, fundamentally because it violates the 'NEVER something-for-nothing-to-all-comers-FUCKOFFRANDOS' principle.☟︎
asciilifeform: duded don't really come equipped with this circuit that turns on, in dan mocsny's words, 'motorized statue' mode when within 100 metres of a rodgier
asciilifeform: phf: but they did not, going by the telling, hate ~him~
asciilifeform: (will, i am quite convinced, is an organ, no less so than memory)
asciilifeform: esp. considering that his most grotesque, as far as i can see , defect, was precisely atrophied will.
asciilifeform: if mircea_popescu had written that rodgier ought to have ~been buggered~, or enslaved by arabs, or similar, i would have no dispute. but it is just as fantastic to posit schmuck going into pederasty willingly, as to picture him growing taller by effort of will
asciilifeform: bad parenting enlarges natural fissures, if you will, often to some quite impressive dr. mengele results.
asciilifeform: this would put in the 'condition' neh?
asciilifeform: from rodger pt. 4: 'You would think it strange that he has such intense feelings yet doesn't apply the obvious resolution available for them : go up to these betters, prostrate himself and beg them to accept him as their slave. He'll do anything, just as long as they use him. Why not ? ... what they should have been fucking saying were variations of the theme of, "take off your clothes, crawl to them on hands and knees and lick their
asciilifeform: mod6: same reason they went in 1900. to be kept out of labour market.
asciilifeform: adlai: must also point out, 'read signed document and then found matching pubkey' still conceivably leaves you behind a 'great firewall' where all pgp sigs visible match chairman mao's key perfectly
asciilifeform: (or worse yet, they encrypt a transmission ~to~ a key without any attempt at climbing to it in their actual wot)
asciilifeform: adlai: currently there is a very comical situation where chumps download a pubkey, from ?????, and then try to authenticate published material (found on mitmable www sites, naturally) ~TO~ it, rather than the reverse (found signed material, then determined matching pubkey)
asciilifeform: adlai: the entire notion of pubkeys posted publicly in a way that implies that strangers can take and use'em for something, is probably going away.
asciilifeform: adlai: this is not the only problem with concept of 'revocation'.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu jailbroke adlai or wat.
asciilifeform: and here i thought this only 'happened' to old folks.
asciilifeform: 'My laptop was getting slower and slower. It wasn’t a very powerful laptop, but it was the only computer I had to play WoW on. This was really frustrating me, because eventually it became so slow that it ruined my gaming experience. I kept pestering my mother and father to get me a faster laptop that was more efficient for gaming.' (from rodger part 4)☟︎
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: 'Unless, of course, the text is the product of an unrelated adult, whose involvement with the whole thing is not emotional nor personal, and who therefore simply forgot about that detail.' << sorta like the fire-proof, bomb-proof, smudge-proof passports invariably found on corpse of every 'dead terrorist' in usa.
asciilifeform: phf: on the level of ft meade's 'star trek captain's chair' (one of the recent demented generals literally had one installed) - quite certainly.
asciilifeform: rather than 1 spread across 1,000,001 maggots
asciilifeform: in at least that there was only 1 of him
asciilifeform vaguely recalls article from decade ago where some dude with an idle gc/ms setup actually ordered a coupla dozen spam viagras & tested, but lost link long ago
asciilifeform: and i suspect that there is a journatard bootcamp somewhere, where they make this haircut. why have i seen 1,001 turdmeisters with it..?
asciilifeform: y'know, thing ~is~ a flying arse, even if donald duck were the one to point it out.
