asciilifeform: i can tell that mircea_popescu never answered mailz with one finger, of one hand, hanging from a rail, from a moving train, over 8kbaud modem...
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it would if it could!1111
asciilifeform: (and has a primitive on-screen thing, ok for short text)
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: thing takes an external kbd
asciilifeform: on turdroid this cripplement is absent, but things go in opposite direction, battery is eaten by 1,001 mandatory background crapolade
asciilifeform: 'to prevent apps from eating the battery'
asciilifeform: i dug in, and turned up, iirc, that this is DELIBERATE
asciilifeform: gotta love how ios 'almost worx' in 1,001 ways. for instance, you can get a ~functional irc client. BUT it will disconnect after backgrounded for ~30 sec. NO EXCEPTIONS.☟︎
asciilifeform: jurov: thread was about 'dumb' phones..
asciilifeform: modulus, note, happened 5 times, someone was testing whatever.
asciilifeform: but was genned scriptologically, and author cut corners, and made q = nextprime(p)
asciilifeform: i suspect that it was, precisely as mircea_popescu describes, low-effort - ~key gen~. which is to say, it was not meant, necessarily, to pop
asciilifeform: but why generate such gnarly modulus.
asciilifeform: why it was necessary to put this in a strictly fermat-breakable artificial key, vs. some simple case of gcd or 8ball, i do not know - write to hitler and ask him, not me.
asciilifeform: 1) 'of course s.nsa uses some private wwwtronic thing to view results!1111' 2) 'of course it evals embedded crapola if we ask it!' etc.
asciilifeform: and the sheer monkey-assumption-sandwitch baked into this !!
