mircea_popescu: well, once you finally get triphase installed you may then be surprised.
asciilifeform: i haven't verified that the 3rd rail in the underground is 800 volts hot, yet, either.
mircea_popescu: i've never verified this theory.
asciilifeform: between all of this, usg does still enforce its monopoly on long-range telecom.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform nah, some wikipedia bureaucracy thing.
mircea_popescu: out of their happy interaction, a whole alt-world of no impact and no importance.
mircea_popescu: so... nsa wants to keep in touch with the whatever community, and idle tards of ~same value as a pig their size want to be kept in touch with.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform actually, exactly like kanzure and friends. they've nothing to do with the topic they discuss, but they do enjoy the attention from you know, "authority".
asciilifeform: was this the fetlife thing
mircea_popescu: who knows, maybe this turns into a job ? if he gets ensconced neough ?
asciilifeform: ( incidentally the other day asciilifeform finally met phf in meatland ) ☟︎
mircea_popescu: many many years ago. but the item is exactly descriptive. one day, white petrus shows up at so and so office, starts picking up the trash and acting as if he works there for visitors.
asciilifeform: exactly like the 'cypherpunks' as described by phf in old thread
mircea_popescu: dja recall i mocked at some point, i dun recall if here or on trilema, this wikipedia tard who posted something like "oh, i'm trying to help by being an officious intermeddler on this here admin board, until someone tells me to stop" ?
asciilifeform: there is also quite a bit of fixation, among the aficionados, on the physical process of building the radios, stringing antennae through treetops, and other minutiae.
asciilifeform: as i currently understand, it is a kind of primitive voice-powered usenet group, with the diff that you can get gestapo to pick up spammers
asciilifeform: to this day i puzzle over what is the appeal of 'licensed amateur radio'
asciilifeform: they'll work for phree, for weeks, charging usg 0, to find the vreditel'
asciilifeform: it is normally the crown-licensed user of the 'trespassed' spectrum, who rats him out. in almost all cases on the public record -- 'licensed amateurs'
asciilifeform: incidentally phunphakt re usa : it is virtually never usg.proper that hunts for radio pirates
asciilifeform: ( in mega-b00k re 'evil fyoootoor' , 'stand on zanzibar', this process becomes a proper service, for which they charge, and you can get not only firing squad but whatever you like, burning at the stake, guillotine, etc. ) ☟︎
asciilifeform: ( what whatever reason, convincing police to shoot is a popular suicide method in usaschwitz. rather like it was in orig auschwitz. )
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform incidentally, notice how it's all males ? how about some fucking gender equality ? where's the "women in police shootings" workgroup ?
mircea_popescu: i expect when i finally execute whoever's then sitting on the inca throne, they'll print "ex US president dies after MP confrontation"
mircea_popescu: has news links. good like this, no pics.
mircea_popescu: http://killedbypolice.net/ for the curious, btw.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform but that's the point, a battlefield where everyone was properly armed hasn't existed since the sabine "war-games" ie let's figure out who impregnates this gang of feverish sluts.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile usg criminal gang aka "law enforcement" just killed its 999th victim this year, nov 2nd. 71 yo jerry roach.
asciilifeform: let's momentarily dispense with the broken doors and midnight policemen, and consider battlefield , where everybody's properly armed etc. for clarity of thought. conventional radio -- triangulable and draws accurate fire on its position. q is, can haz one that does not ? or not.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform actuary table says ~300 dead / year
asciilifeform: ( though as often car as bus )
asciilifeform: even more likely to be run down by bus crossing the street
mircea_popescu: i am offering the (sadly unverifiable) proposition here that it is more likely to have your door broken into and your pet shot because "they thought tuttle lived there" a la brasil ; than because you were running a clinton-porn-pirate-radiostation and someone in usg noticed.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu must be one of the folx who brings own bomb on every plane, as in the famous anecdote, 'probability of 2 bombs is epsilon'
mircea_popescu: people get shot while the usg brown shirts are breaking in all the time ; they had no transmitters. adding one that had to this list does not raise above the statistical noise floor.
mircea_popescu: so, to make it perfectly plain : A. they'll break down "your" door at any point and for no reason because it's not your fucking door and they're not reasonable. B. a forty cent bullet is more effectual countermeasure than ANY amount of thought.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the broader point i am making is that the constraints on the gestapo are neither financial nor technological.
mircea_popescu: in fact, it is altogether likely that HADN'T there been a "hero security guard"/illegal immigrant to try and break in the door, 60 or so useless tards watching a "concert" would still be here sucking down their coca colas.
asciilifeform: the 'could fight to the death to defend the radio' proposition is orthogonal to the q of 'can haz pill against foxhunters' .
mircea_popescu: ONLY when some dork tried breaking in the door, ONLY, ABSOLUTELY ONLY when confronted with a hard decision did he start shooting. not before.
mircea_popescu: he thought to himself, is this me, is this my life ? am i not better than this perhaps ? maybe haymasfuturo ?
shinohai is reminded of how the Syrians captured Eli Cohen in this thread ......
mircea_popescu: consider the following point : the recent las vegas shooter had bought a room ; and had ferried a quarter ton of materiel up there ; and then the concert started, and he sat. ☟︎
asciilifeform: and when gestapo says 'transmitter here' and they break the door, it in fact is there.
asciilifeform: generally with old-fashioned tech, directionfinder works.
mircea_popescu: they "decode" who paid whom when via blockchain signals, they see transmitters etc, they've "incontrovertible proof" that so and so parcel of fiatola broke the laws and so on
asciilifeform: concern is, it is prohibitively expensive for gestapo to search 100,000 houses. but not 10. hence 'fox hunt'.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: and tesla picked up 'martians' , lol.
mircea_popescu: you've seen the whole "blockchain interpretation & crystal ball" "expert services" usg spawned to date neh ?
asciilifeform: ( 1 elementary approach : carrierless transmission . )
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform "british researchers" as they're known in the romanian press will receive all sorts of signals, even when no signals there.
asciilifeform: apeloyee: q was, is it possible to transmit in such a way that for someone without the key, there ~is~ no 'signals received' ☟︎
mircea_popescu: "gotta try, man!" "it kinda might works, i think" etcetera.
mircea_popescu: ie, there's a dork doing great seo successes by auto-translating and republishing content.
mircea_popescu: in other lulz, "Die Geschichte von zwei Jungen auf trilema – ein Blog von mircea popescu. Bitcoin Bergbau auf Android"
mircea_popescu: apeloyee correlation can reveal anything one wishes it to.
a111: Logged on 2017-11-02 19:33 asciilifeform: ^ per asciilifeform's current understanding, thing is untriangulable unless enemy knows the freq keying pattern, or is standing in the near field of your transmitter.
apeloyee: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-11-02#1732128 << correlation between signals received on two stations can reveal the fact that somebody's transmitting ☝︎

lobbes: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-11-03#1732293 << I think I see what you mean. In my case the meaning would end up being "x are never routed through y, ever". I could then end up regretting this if I one day encounter the situation where changing that meaning would result in an overall better process, but, alas, I cannot change due to downstream dependence on that meaning ☝︎

asciilifeform: about 10k usd, and you need 1 per stick type.
asciilifeform: there ~does~ exist that rig with the freon bottle
mircea_popescu: "cyber forensic lab" aka the usg owned-and-operator "truefax" producer for usg court system.
asciilifeform: if mircea_popescu or anyone else knows of anything resembling this item off-the-shelf -- plox to link.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-11-03#1732785 << on the contrary, it is not publicly available for any kind of money ( and would need some gnarly custom silicon, to produce ) ☝︎
mircea_popescu: nothing could be kosherer than cocksharing.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile on the shared pickle front, http://78.media.tumblr.com/0a8cb4685b6e25335b0dfc587e0ee847/tumblr_ncfkylCPhs1rlva65o1_400.gif
shinohai: Though taking a drink every time the video buffers is fun. Wheeeeee!
shinohai: Trying to celebrate someone's birthday over skype really sux
BingoBoingo: Just fit the academia theme
BingoBoingo read that as bong water
mircea_popescu: isn't it great for a free and open society to enjoy a vigurous academia which, like the brain on the healthy body, encased in its grey old stones, can lead through the bog of nonsense towards that enchanted high plateau of truth and sparkling clean springwater on the side ?
jhvh1: BingoBoingo: The operation succeeded.
BingoBoingo: !~later tell danielpbarron http://wotpaste.cascadianhacker.com/pastes/sHhm
mircea_popescu: however, post-collapse, the scholarship on the same topic is "probably unimportant nonevent".
mircea_popescu: in other lulz of all time : the pre-collapse of pantsuitistan scholarship of the anglo "peasan't revolt" (item where they beheaded the lord chancellor/treasurer/all cambridge robes they could find etc) was that MAJOR SOCIO-ECONOMICAL and POLITICAL!!! development OF GREAT IMPACT!!11

BingoBoingo: Grain fineness is one of those things that scales. If you want good rice start with a few tons rather than pounds.
a111: Logged on 2017-11-03 19:26 vlad56324: but if i generate entropy with my paper + pen, am i on the safe side or still intel can theoretically fuck me?
mircea_popescu: people could and routinely did read the whole memory content.
a111: Logged on 2017-11-03 19:22 vlad56324: you know what: it seems to me that with 56k it was very easy to have some decent "fine grained" control over the packets
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-11-03#1732711 << of course. back in the z80 days the whole memory could be printed out, wouldn't even take a whole book. more like what today passes for one, ie 40-50 pages' worth. ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2017-11-03 19:17 vlad56324: this is meant to be secure?
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-11-03#1732693 << the danielpbarron eulora thing is intended as work-in-progress os basis for eulora (the mmorpg). it is not specifically secure yet ; it is however cleanner, in that less spurious / unnecessary / unknown or incomprejhensioble stuff included. ☝︎

mircea_popescu: "i want to believe!"
mircea_popescu: template pretty much is "pay me clerical fee for the styory of method to make $random-figure". whole fucking thing is based on wsd ; which is the problem with tards, fail to distinguish the stories they tell themselves from reality anymore.
a111: Logged on 2017-11-03 18:25 asciilifeform: gotta wonder, how come none of the audience have the half cup of oil in their braincase to answer the 'here is some lolcatcoin, gimme btc in exchange' with 'if it's so great, why dontcha keep it, and why would you trade it for boring old btc'
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-11-03#1732656 << you should read the "seo expertise/information products" stuff sometime. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: not liek the public's doing much investment these days. approx on par with good soviet of 1987, had special retainer out of salary for "investments".
a111: Logged on 2017-10-26 17:11 mircea_popescu: anyway, there's still an open thread god damned it. so re "in the hope they'll achieve usg agency status" above : the final socialism, usg's "ourdemocracy" came up with a gamified nationalization process : they naturally confiscate the domain leaders in all domains, under the guise of you know, "pension fund investments" and "consumer protection law enforcement". ie, there's a faux money and a faux legal prong which make sure
