mircea_popescu: a self-signature establishes nothing. if YOU signed the key then ~you~ would know it's not fake in the specific sense that it's the same one you signed.
mircea_popescu: your notion of fake is broken. you think fake is a property of objects. fake is a property of relations.
mircea_popescu: Framedragger as exemplified by the woman in the picture. she's "not fake". in what sense ? she could call you and swear for herself ? so ?
mircea_popescu: next year they can give him a kardashian ass and he could launch a music album.
mircea_popescu: Framedragger so some clients handle it correctly. this isn't much of an argument that it belongs there.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: asciilifeform buncha recovering 2000s fanbois, whadda ya want. anyone's a teenager sometime.
mircea_popescu: trinque the apple you're thinking of got pancreatic cancer, they got a replacement from central casting.
mircea_popescu: but i've yet to meet muslim married woman that'd even conceive such outrage.
mircea_popescu: incidentally this is an islamic mainstay afaik. punctually, fine example of why "civilised" us might well welcome the rule of the "barbarians". legal improvements.
mircea_popescu: either choice has a bunch of onlookers mocking her for choosing wrong.
mircea_popescu: it's outrageous. married woman that hurts sleeping husband should be given the option of burning at the state / boiling in oil.
mircea_popescu: i have nfi how someone who waits for you to go to sleep, pours gasoline and lights up could possibly escape the hanging. it is about as cowardly premeditated as it gets, no need to encourage this sort of behaviour.
mircea_popescu: and of course "the public" = the rest of the tatanyshas are worried she may get executed for this.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you recall, they pasted the sig packet off the actual key to a random concoction, verbatim
mircea_popescu: the fact remains : unless i have your key from you, it's fake. no amount of holy water sprkinling on the key in question can alleviate this.
mircea_popescu: except in the case as seen of hpa's key, where they just attached a valid sig to an invalid key.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: "i took mercury and it brought the syphilis to a halt". mmmkay.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it's also not partucularly true, but it is what they would like, so.
mircea_popescu: "i don't personally know her, she's therefore not a woman but meat".
mircea_popescu: Framedragger your concept of "fake subkey" is broken. what makes a subkey fake ?
mircea_popescu: sometimes i suspect if you were my hammam master you'd steel mesh the freckles off the girls. possibly most of the smaller clits nad nipples too.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform some dirt is not actually dirt in the usual sense, but part of the fabric of reality.
mircea_popescu: otherwise what, send everything in triplicate, like it's soviet union time ?
mircea_popescu: this seems ~the only true use of a hash function, "give me some bits to compare with his bits make sure the file made it"
mircea_popescu: anyway, "standard checksum" appears to be emerging as sha.
mircea_popescu: it's one thing to have standardized mains. it's another to have standardized items that plug into them. no thx.
mircea_popescu: no. data is data, formats are standard. data storage is your problem. encrypt it as you will. no standard encryption. backup it as you will. no standard backup.
mircea_popescu: seems on the contrary, an epic point of decentralization
mircea_popescu: but anyway, as far as formats go - it seems data integrity procedures should be separated from data.
mircea_popescu: sort of passive crc. not clear that a) if you want it you shouldn't have it purpose built and b) if it's "just there" it should be necessarily preserved.
mircea_popescu: but, well backuped services don't so much care about this.
mircea_popescu: course, ending up with half the shit suspended because one guy's diesel modem croaked is also not such a good state of affairs.
mircea_popescu: worth a shot. in any case protectionism should be a concern, much rather support people with than items without a wot.
mircea_popescu: in general the way it's supposed to work is that it pms you ONCE IT SEES YOU TALK
mircea_popescu: there's 10x to 100x more ssh-rsa than gpg-rsa. it's a moot point.
mircea_popescu: sigh. anyway. "selfsigs" are not particularly well thought out, not to the degree but in the same manner.
mircea_popescu: who ever thought of this omfg it gives me hives on the brain just thinking about it.
mircea_popescu: the most basic, elementary, fundamental, first fucking function of any cache implementation is flush ffs.
mircea_popescu: i don't mean, in cs. i mean, at all. fucking baker's notions of the world.
mircea_popescu: the notion of joining at the hip a permanent store and a cache is so idiotic as to make me certain the guy had no sort of formal education
mircea_popescu: make wallet.dat and pending_transactions.dat. so if i want to flush pending txn i just delete that.
mircea_popescu: (but in generally, no, it's as fucking stupid to have the sig cert in the sig as it's stupid to have the bitcoin transactions in the bitcoin wallet.
mircea_popescu: well, work on your own time. but work the way we're going not orthogonally.
mircea_popescu: there is exactly ONE rsa format, for all time, past as well as future, and it goes like this : N, e, comment.
mircea_popescu: not by centering on the non-rsa formats and adding tms on the side.
mircea_popescu: illustrate them by storing rsa in the rsa format and adding the illustration on the side
mircea_popescu: i do not have use for as much as a rotten end of a thread from usg. you follow this concept ?
mircea_popescu: i am not importing "tinyscheme" or "rfc" or anything else.
mircea_popescu: different packagings of THIS SAME OBJECT are not to be entertained. we control ther fucking horizontal, not "gpg" or "opensshit".
mircea_popescu: there ARE NOT two classes of object. rsa is the class of object.
mircea_popescu: if you store as a csv, add more fields. if you store in any other format, a mechanical equivalent for "add more fields" exists. what is the problem ?
mircea_popescu: it is the height of ridiculous for you to tell me that "my program is so fucking stupid if it has to handle two items it can only pick one and pretend the other doesn't exist". you understand this ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform so write it a convertor. it's strategically stupid to make "a new gadget".
mircea_popescu: phuctor gotta move to tmsr format not teh other way round. give the guy a moment,
