l0de: why do you believe
they lack
that capability
l0de: to
the point of unusability
l0de: they have
the ability
to greatly degrade all shortwave communications
l0de: at
the point where shortwave communications pose an existential
threat
to usg
mircea_popescu: in point of fact
the usg is
today much less powerful or capable
than ye olde ck-kpss.
l0de: lol @
the sec email by
the way
mircea_popescu: the point doesn't JUST go re nukes per se ;
this whole "usg could do
THE BIG
THING" is entirely pantsuit wank.,
l0de: now
that
that's not such a consideration, it's possible
to do
that in a "oh fuck" scenario
l0de: because of
the whole ww3
thing
l0de: the soviets never
tried
to go nuclear and completely bombard
the frequencies
mircea_popescu: it did not work for
the soviets ; and it won't work for
these soviets v2.0 eithert.
l0de: no, let me
take a look at
this
l0de: If shortwave was
the problem,
the USG could render
the entire
thing unusable with relatively
trivial effort
mircea_popescu: the idea isn't at any point
to somehow "appear small and escape detection".
l0de: whereas comparatively internet
traffic is all filtered and only
things fitting a profile are really logged and paid attention
to
l0de: every single
thing happening on shortwave is of interest
to
them
l0de: well for one, it's one of
the
things
the mil pays EXTREMELY close attention
to
l0de: that's much more desirable
than what we had
mircea_popescu: as far as mostly 1 is concerned,
there's significant interest in shortwave, which is why it's a recurrent
thread in
the logs.
mircea_popescu: so,
to get on
the same page here,
the general strategy is, 1. construct undisruptable comms ; 2. disrupt usg&friends comms ; 3. disrupt usg&friends physical presence.
☟︎☟︎ l0de: whereas I am one of
the oldschool change grows out of
the barrel of a gun
types
l0de: and was somewhat put off
to find he didn't have any actionable plans other
than BTC inevitably collapsing
the government
a111: Logged on 2017-11-12 16:48 mircea_popescu: well, reading
through what ? #trilema is
the forum of
the most serene republic, a
terrorist organisation dedicated
to
the dissolution of all fiat sovereigns and
the permanent barring of such nonsense in
the future.
l0de: there are a few people
there really into web
transmission of stuff
too, who know all about nginx etc
l0de: If you want
to
talk radio shit, #LRH on efnet, sloth and nance are
the big gearheads
mircea_popescu: i've no doubt
they will be, dood just needs
to wake up.
l0de: most of
the people who retransmit are already quite wealthy
l0de: sure, if
the previous promised funds are remitted
mircea_popescu: are you willing
to run a sponsorship ad on your next show, so people who DO sw-retransmit get some dough ?
mircea_popescu: l0de
the
technical elements of it are specifically what interests me, actually.
l0de: it's mega fun
though
l0de: people are just grabbing
the stream and rebroadcasting it on local
transmitters
l0de: I generally don't handle
the
technical elements of it
l0de: the
transmitters available
to us cycle out a lot
l0de: DPB pledged $800
to support
the radio arts
jhvh1: mircea_popescu: danielpbarron was last seen in #trilema 15 hours, 36 minutes, and 5 seconds ago: <danielpbarron> oh hah,
that's way off huh
mircea_popescu: they're in
the biofilm as
their own oh-so-precious choice, specifically so as not
to be distinguishable, wut can we do.
a111: Logged on 2017-12-25 14:17 asciilifeform: 1
thing i dunget,
tho, how did gerald davis
turn into david gerard ?
mircea_popescu: you KNOW
they'll have heartbleed and orc glyphs and so on and so forth, even as
the "security
tokens" never expire and
the gameplay just isn't
there.
mircea_popescu: they may omit
to implement any meaningful utility or security ; what
they will NEVER omit is a fully implementation of
the ideology.
a111: Logged on 2017-12-23 17:49 asciilifeform: or disgorge, via any means short of full bore crack, anything previously written
therein , as a file
mircea_popescu: anyway, i guess
the buttcoiner pedo pantsuitism readily answers
the economic question. dood
trashed early bitcoin business BECAUSE
that's why he had it in
the first place. wasn't looking
to do something useful, was looking
to establish cred
to
try and fuck up
the useful.
mircea_popescu: giving a bad name
to both respectability and dissolution at
the same
time!
a111: Logged on 2017-10-17 12:41 mircea_popescu: phf who
the fuck is some
tool named david know or have
to say about "ruble" anyway
ben_vulpes: all worlds outside #trilema are
the alt-world
mircea_popescu: or is
this alt-world where we never have
to confront uncomfortable
truths.
mircea_popescu: did he ever answer
to why is he such a despicable piece of shit ?
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: am looking more for "open
throttle
to max airflow" knob
than holographic stickers
to increase hp
BigTexasBingo: Could be
the most practical
trilema piece of
the year
that one. Utilized in meatspace so soon after publication.
mircea_popescu: solid and patient improvements
towards
the right
thing ; but preferably after db fix & client split as discussed.
mircea_popescu: it's a complicated
topic, ben_vulpes ; do not expect "this one weird
trick" cures.
BigTexasBingo: Don't read
to much into
the words, follow
the laughing and you're in.
ben_vulpes: anyways, my node is now either fourteen or fifteen minutes behind bc.i depending on how
their javascript feels, so perhaps
there's nothing
to
this aggression after all, sorry
to disappoint BigTexasBingo
ben_vulpes: i imagine
there's some "isomorphic backend rendering" node black magic horseshit going on behind
the scenes
ben_vulpes: yeah, and
this is
true of all
their listed blocks
ben_vulpes: danielpbarron: first
the page renders with 500918: 12,
then five seconds later 500918 now apparently has an age of 13 minutes
danielpbarron: i've noticed a few
times my node saw a block before bc.i but
they end up listing it before mine verifies
danielpbarron: what's
the difference? maybe
they report
the
time
they initially saw it but don't list
till it's verified
ben_vulpes: wowee, when i reload blockchain.info first it shows one number for how long a block's been advertised and
then shortly
thereafter, another number indicating
they've known about it for longer
than
they said at first!
ben_vulpes: i'll have
to look into how block height is advertised but
that makes sense mircea_popescu
mircea_popescu: then
the "10" can be configurable ; or else it can be calculated by
the node, (such as "117% of average
time it
took me
to check
the past 144 blocks" for instance)
mircea_popescu: how about "pushgetblock
to ONE peer randomly selected from
the list of peers advertising higher block
tip
than you have upon every block verification (whether successful or not) and every 10 minutes henceforth"
mircea_popescu: "every 10 minutes pushgetblocks
to all peers
that advertise higher height
than yours" is still wasteful, you will ask 114 people for
the same item with your new cuts.
shinohai: That's a good idea
too ...
timeout knob.
ben_vulpes: shinohai: howabout a
timeout knob? every <configurable> minutes after
the last block, pushgetblocks
to all peers?
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu:
that could in
theory be once and never after for long-running and stable connections
shinohai: Dunno what others
think, but I would prefer
this as a knob
to
turn on/off
ben_vulpes: is
there an argument
to be made against asking peers for new blocks every
time
TRB loops
through
the peerlist?
too resource-intensive?
mircea_popescu: trinque i just got
to watch like 4 or 5 different fireworks displays.
trinque: anyhow, whichever one cracks
the wine bottles in your house, enjoy it.
trinque wonders when
the republic shall revive saturnalia
shinohai: I have no idea,
these
things are located all over
the building. I like
the place
though, beats
the shit out of LaQuinta Inn or whatever.
ben_vulpes: lol what kind of unholy fascimilie is
that
