asciilifeform: ( though i would very much like to see how the seemingly backward decrypt/encrypt time cost diff came about )
asciilifeform: 1+ sec is moar in ffa ballpark than heathentron's
diana_coman: makes sense to post the code too though it'll end up in that annoying cycle of versioning since it's far from any final state
diana_coman: hmm, I'll check again all the way; at a first look it is as stated but will look and get back on this
asciilifeform: plz consider posting your test harness, diana_coman
asciilifeform: also 1.1s seems like a pretty long time for a 4096b modexp on traditional mpi. ☟︎
asciilifeform: 1s, about to post
diana_coman: I gotta run now for a few hours but I'll be back later if there are any obs/comments on it
diana_coman: :) thanks asciilifeform ; and once again a big thank you for carving out that mpi part - it helped a LOT

asciilifeform: ( tldr : mexico in 1940s had no radio gestapo. this was used by folx in usa to circumvent the fcc racket, until quashed by fdr decree. )
asciilifeform: Brinkley in... the Brinkley Act, still vigorously enforced today, banning any cross-border studio-transmitter links originating in the US, including Doc's phone lines. From this point on, border blasters had do do it all from their side. A Mexican station was run off the air for this as recently as the 1990s.'
asciilifeform: in quite other vintage lulz, http://www.ominous-valve.com/xerf.html >> 'The United States lost this war, after Brinkley veered off into Nazi politics. He became a Hitler sympathizer, dropping the good-doctor act for a different kind of mass psychology... ...The US government had put up with goat glands, but those didn't sabotage FDR's efforts to swing pre-war, public opinion over to the Allies. This was way more serious stuff. It did
lobbes: anyways, for the wotpastes specifically, I plan to download and store those myself from the get-go (and NOT route them through archive.is), seeing as those are easily 'flagged' due to the predictable url. To alf's point, even if archive.is stays up, diddling is always a threat. Any bits I can do without it now is +ev imo ☟︎
lobbes: has been in-line with some meat-world mentors I was blessed to have
lobbes: I've always admired the 'keep data and code as separate as possible' approach you take trinque. From what I can grok, that is
trinque: all of deedbot's connected services work in that manner
trinque: lobbes: decoupling sounds wise to me
doppler: very handy that it can handle url-encoding, etc. too
lobbes: ultimately, my plan is that lobbesbot will just store urls to-be-archived in a database. A separate process will do the submitting/downloading of zip to/from archive.is. Whenever a better www-to-zip comes along I can just switch out the later process with it
lobbes: powerful tool, I'm finally starting to grok
lobbes: anywho, that was the piece of the puzzle I needed to solve for this 'stop-gap' archive solution. I'ma start putting these pieces together. Will keep everyone posted
lobbes: while probably elementary to most here, I just discovered that I can send POST requests with curl. One single line! The simple joys of n00bdom. ☟︎
shinohai: Not bad, gonna turn in earl been up since 4 am :/
mod6: How goes tonight?

davout used to listen to stuff like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JrEzx-FryfE
asciilifeform: i'll let the actual ro-boriginals settle this one, lol ☟︎
davout: not understanding the lyrics might actually help i suspect

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: rogue states are all quite alike, whether they use 'crime-fraud exception' or 'soldering iron up yer starfish exception' to 'compel testimony'
asciilifeform: ^ asciilifeform spotted $subj playing in one of the restaurants in timis
asciilifeform: meanwhile in the world of rotaku kitsch, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hX9TRiFaS6c ☟︎
asciilifeform: went, apparently, into the black, when absorbed into the reich machine. ☟︎
BingoBoingo: And in other SOPs Sopping slop: "Chief Judge Beryl A. Howell of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia had agreed to allow Robert Mueller to use something called the crime-fraud exception to attorney-client privilege to compel testimony from an attorney who formerly represented Paul Manafort and Manafort’s onetime employee Rick Gates." ☟︎
doppler: haha, the last list item is great ☟︎
BingoBoingo: In classic Trilema http://trilema.com/2014/a-useful-list-of-things/
asciilifeform: and to shelve them right next to actuals. ☟︎
asciilifeform: davout: no problem with selling items that may or may not exist or have any connection whatsoever to reality ?! ☟︎
a111: Logged on 2017-11-01 18:34 asciilifeform: 'how Bitfinex themselves ran arbitrage with other exchanges, and displayed orders from other exchanges as their own, as if it was their own order book' etc.
davout: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-11-01#1731786 <<< i don't see any fundamental problem with taking liquidity from somewhere and reselling it in your shop ☝︎

BingoBoingo: Other Sue once again, too passive
asciilifeform: or for that matter the current ones from regular nsa-authored 'oopses'
BingoBoingo: Su was to passive about it, unlike ghandi
BingoBoingo: Well, figure they get saved for ability to say Ghandi's trademark line: "Our words are backed by nuclear weapons"
asciilifeform: they're rather like fields of wheat -- practically an invitation for mountain horsemen to come and rape.

jhvh1: asciilifeform: The operation succeeded.
asciilifeform: !~later tell mircea_popescu http://wotpaste.cascadianhacker.com/pastes/Vv4dq/?raw=true
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> not to mention that it doesn't particularly need to transmit more than a few sec/day. << Janitorial service, vacuums. Recieve at landromat.

a111: Logged on 2017-11-01 13:14 mircea_popescu: moreover, it's impossible to read through the wordage. are you saying that you sold bitcoin at 6.05kusd ?
BingoBoingo: Rewrite in works http://btcbase.org/log/2017-11-01#1731666 << No good reason. http://btcbase.org/log/2017-11-01#1731667 << No, attempting to list the advance as a debt by recreating necessary TMSR accounting out of log fragments http://btcbase.org/log/2017-11-01#1731682 << Will try not juggling network topology in forebrain when rewriting http://btcbase.org/log/2017-11-01#1731687 << There will be rug ☝︎☝︎☝︎☝︎☟︎
asciilifeform: ( it is conceivable that such a thing exists but wholly outside of asciilifeform's light cone, note. )
asciilifeform: asciilifeform finds it more than a little puzzling how little of past 30y of cheap cpu, has been put to use in advancing illicit radio -- where is the dc-to-daylight cryptospreadspectrum pirate ? why idjits still on fixed frequencies, like it were 1930s today ? ☟︎
asciilifeform: and unless you have artillery salvo with which to answer these questions, adventure will be short.
asciilifeform: but if you set up a tower and start pumping 100kW into it, just about anywhere on planet, folx will show up to ask questions
trinque: point's less the efficacy of the approach but rather, loud point source didn't get squashed
asciilifeform: continuously transmitting loud point source == target.
asciilifeform: wholly different item, and trivially, cheaply quashed with 1930s tech
trinque: sure, there was a guy in highschool cruising around in a pirate radio van
a111: Logged on 2016-09-22 14:31 asciilifeform: 1) every old lappy comes with a high-quality DAC fit for shortwave! the vga card.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-09-22#1547061 << old thread, with 1 suggested scheme. ☝︎
asciilifeform: not to mention that it doesn't particularly need to transmit more than a few sec/day.
asciilifeform: either that, or make use of past 100 yrs of tactic re anti-triangulation : e.g. a) radio doesn't live next to your earthly carcass, controlled remotely b) radio is not 1 emitter, but synchronized chorus ( see saddam's jammer thread) c) radio dun look like a radio, but like 'defective' appliance plausibly d ) use imagination
trinque: bother. I suppose I'll walk around reciting hex from a paper, turn my arrest into an art project
asciilifeform: trinque: does 0 good re subj. you're a pirate, yarrrr, right off the bat, because crypto
trinque had a ham radio license once upon a time ☟︎
a111: Logged on 2017-07-21 17:26 mircea_popescu: the scheme DOES for instance require people maintain non-internet connections, and in general : multimedium links. because otherwise the night of no internet means the end of the republic as such.
shinohai imagines satellite tmsr interwebz
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> also, ima jungle today, might not have the patience to cut up patch for sat dish. << cool!
asciilifeform: ( all he can do, is pull you into the water, and rotate himself like propeller to tear off $chunk )
mircea_popescu: they actually have a sort of team-chew implemented.
asciilifeform: for a beast that cannot chew -- it gotta
mircea_popescu: it generally understands animal behaviour. such as times to water and etc.
mircea_popescu: what it does is htis : 1. it knows when bird nesting season is because 2. this means twigs are scarce so 3. constructs an arrangement of twigs on its nose
mircea_popescu: at all points duct tape can keep it shut. the opening muscles are very weak indeed. the closing muscles however... 50kN, like fucking metal press.
asciilifeform: same as we trap birds ?
mircea_popescu: has cerebral cortex even. did you know it traps birds ?
asciilifeform: it 'winds' for as long as 20-30sec, before it can be 'sprung'; and during this interval, theoretically a man can hold it closed and prevent the 'spring' from winding, with one hand. but asciilifeform was not permitted into the crocodilarium to verify this truism.
asciilifeform: essentially a bear trap made of flesh and bone
asciilifeform: i find it interesting how the apparatus of the crocodilians is mechanically put together
asciilifeform: wasn't in genuine cocastan tho : we had a travelling exhibit, with plexiglass trailers etc, fiddybux a ticket.
asciilifeform: i did ! but will nitpick, i indeed have stared in the mouth of a living croc
mircea_popescu: dja see teh crocs ?
asciilifeform: give my regards to the ocelot.

mircea_popescu: sorta how the survival of the inept imperial bureaucracy was called "the church" in the orclands.
mircea_popescu: the entirely of the usg-i-cant-believe-its-not-bitcoin is the orc colonized lands. there, they actually believe the shit they read in bad localized versions of the ny times.
asciilifeform: ( what kind of sense this could have made, is question that i will leave to the pro entomologists )
