asciilifeform: ?

asciilifeform: i suppose i omitted leather.

asciilifeform: (there was once a (3) - plow, but i prefer tractor)

asciilifeform: 2) meat.

asciilifeform: 1) milk

asciilifeform: the bovine has exactly 2 uses:

asciilifeform: i obviously can't speak for mircea_popescu , but personally even cunt is not a get-out-of-biodiesel-free card as far as i'm concerned.

asciilifeform: i'd rather train seals.

asciilifeform: and aren't any kind of good company.

asciilifeform: but in any other context they have no redeeming value whatsoever

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu seems to idealize the poor and stupid because - i suppose - when they come with cunts, those work just as well as any other cunt

asciilifeform: and i don't see the stupid being more likely to conform to fact than anyone else

asciilifeform: happens to young and old alike

asciilifeform: it occasionally does happen that somebody gets pushed into cognitive dissonance mode and spews chunks upon encountering undigestible fact

asciilifeform: at this point even cocker spaniel knows that 'no good comes from talking to cop, even in principle'

asciilifeform: ah yeah.

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-05-01#1460246 ☝︎

asciilifeform: just as mircea_popescu said, it was a pointless exercise.

asciilifeform: speaking of drilling fuckable openings, the 'oss' thread appears to be wholly dead.

asciilifeform: and what kind of luser works anyway!1111 winnerz eat from their 10,000 heads of cattle and rent from the baronial landz!11111111111

asciilifeform: or in contractors, consultants, pretty much any work-for-money arrangement

asciilifeform: which in turn is logical, being that these are the 2 large orgs stuck on, each for its own strange reasons, winblowz

asciilifeform: (i.e. the only folks seriously willing to pay for serious crapware analysis are usg and cn, and i'm not in either's wot)

asciilifeform: that experience is what really woke me up to the dead-endity of the field

asciilifeform: (not that you actually ~need~ this, there are 1,001 ways to detect vm, and against 101 there are no countermeasures)

asciilifeform: i shit thee not.

asciilifeform: ~all~ of them.

asciilifeform: vt STILL names its winblowz vm TEQUILABOOMBOOM

asciilifeform: tip to aspiring virii authors:

asciilifeform: whatever you want to call it, it was an elementary case of 'you made something that actually works? good for you? now eat shit and die.' vs 'yacht rat? welcome aboard, your shit is sausage here'

asciilifeform: (or, i suppose, demigods)

asciilifeform: which takes capital.

asciilifeform: nobody bought.

asciilifeform: then when i and a buncha blokes opened a co that offered thing that would analyze crapware WITHOUT USING VM, that is, on ordinary x86 (but with some hardware magic),

asciilifeform: aha, and google bought for $B.

asciilifeform: because they detect their (very easily detectable) vm, etc.

asciilifeform: likewise a large fraction of samples on vt don't even ~run there~

asciilifeform: because av is elementarily braindamaged concept

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: a very large share of the samples on vt are 'not detected'

asciilifeform: May 06 12:50:33 <mircea_popescu>and in other "internet security" lulz, https://www.virustotal.com/es-ar/url/900d5651bf561ce804766d1a8f3483080a0e3879f16bfb7f820fdffef82fb807/analysis/1462553268 << what is notable about this sample ?

asciilifeform: last line i see is http://btcbase.org/log/2016-05-06#1464063 ☝︎

asciilifeform: apparently

asciilifeform: logz dead?

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it was surreal, last night, whole squad of folks were rubbing in 'all the fun stuff' i could do if only i agreed to join hitler's wot ☟︎☟︎

asciilifeform: botterdamerung?!

asciilifeform: when's the last time this worked ?!

asciilifeform: dafuq

asciilifeform: ;;google lysdexia

asciilifeform: apparently!11

asciilifeform: i can't simply shit forth gold.

asciilifeform: because otherwise i dun eat.

asciilifeform: well, not being a demigod like mircea_popescu , i actually rely on other people to want to.

asciilifeform: but - mega-unsurprise - no calls.

asciilifeform: but i would happily help zimbabwe build its first nuke, say, if it called.

asciilifeform: with that in mind, i am good at a reasonable breadth of things, but again 99% of the employment in them, in as far as i can access, is usg.

asciilifeform: didn't we discuss the whole 'i am not voluntarily being 19 with none-of-the-upsides again' thing ?

asciilifeform: (there is an unknown percentage, to be fair, of 'nonemployment' work also, i.e. 0day market, overlapping with the 99, but i have - as previously discussed - no 'in' to it.)

asciilifeform: consider, 99+% of the employment in my field is raw usg.

asciilifeform: quite the rarity, and may be 'too good to be true' etc.

asciilifeform: and yeah it took a few rehashes of contract.

asciilifeform: even simpler than there, they make exactly one $item and that's it.

asciilifeform: (kept around for scutwork after having refused to take holy orders)

asciilifeform: just as well that i am leaving rupture farmz, because a few honest folks there finally informed me of what i already knew, which is that i was being 'warehoused'

asciilifeform might actually resume being useful again soon.

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-05-06#1463998 << no leaving the house!111 ☝︎☟︎

asciilifeform: linked therein.

asciilifeform: but in point of fact there is a tool.

asciilifeform: vanity rsa constrains your privkey space.

asciilifeform: vanity HASH is as strong as the hash algo

asciilifeform: so it is not the same.

asciilifeform: in bitcoin addr there is a ~hash~

asciilifeform: unless for specific purpose of fucking someone

asciilifeform: thing is, no sane person WANTS a vanity - that is CONSTRAINED SPACE - rsa key

asciilifeform: jurov: https://evil32.com links to one

asciilifeform: found a somewhat more modest but 'you get xxxxx done, we pay' sort of deal.

asciilifeform: aha.

asciilifeform: in related nyooz, i'm putting in notice of resignation at rupture farms on monday.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: ~today~ no such value. ~tomorrow~, when the ocean of shit overflows - there will be.

asciilifeform: but, handily, 'p' actually has 'if [this program evals to true] i rate [key k] [rating r]' as primitive...

asciilifeform: imho we're nearly there even now.

asciilifeform: and suddenly ancient keys become sc4mz0r currency.

asciilifeform: what i do see, is that this'd be good insurance for the spamocalypse when we start ~demanding~, e.g., pre-2020 keys, even to be LOOKED AT

asciilifeform: how often does somebody show up with a '90s key here

asciilifeform: so what'd be the point of stowing the junkyard.

asciilifeform: as i currently understand, most uncommitted derps lose their old keyz ten times before breakfast every morning.

asciilifeform: the other thing is,

asciilifeform: how does (2) work ?

asciilifeform: 'but pythagoras already did this!111'

asciilifeform: noshit. hence homework.

asciilifeform: trick is that it works best if you have the duplicated thing done in ~improved~ way rather than ad-hoc

asciilifeform: where the db already lives.

asciilifeform: perhaps some of this could happen on the massive 'dulap'

asciilifeform: anyway it's doable, but you gotta think about what happens when enemy gets wind and generates a quintillion crud keys.

asciilifeform: trinque: ~6GB

asciilifeform: the big deal is that a db that gets ~added to~ is not so simple as 'tree of 40 levels'

asciilifeform always pronounced it like Schutzstaffel

asciilifeform: 'there aint no such thing as a free lunch'

asciilifeform: tanstaafl (tm) (r)

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: l0l! yer gonna love the n*log(n) lookups
