asciilifeform: davout ^^^^

asciilifeform: http://fr.anco.is/2016/bitbet-receivership-first-progress-report/ << holy fuck, is anyone else seeing spam in there ?

asciilifeform: mod6: iirc phf is

asciilifeform also finds it interesting that enemy is not yet doing this to anyone, afaik. 'glass cannon' ?

asciilifeform: (yet imho it is worth asking, what tmsr systems are affected by this fact?)

asciilifeform: but this is not a cryptographic break.

asciilifeform: (sha1 collision)

asciilifeform: incidentally ~gpg~ is broken NOW, i can make a fresh key with, e.g., mircea_popescu's fingerprint, for less than the cost of a bus.

asciilifeform: only if no parachute.

asciilifeform: it rsa is broken, the dead will 'walk.'

asciilifeform: incidentally the 'same master' algo is catastrophically dangerous because it does not allow you to retire a broken ciphersystem COMPLETELY

asciilifeform: as does most of life.

asciilifeform: well not 100% mechanical, it has meat in it.

asciilifeform: how is it not an update mechanism ?

asciilifeform: 14:46 <+mircea_popescu> it's more of a "end of b-a" thing than a "update" << waiwut

asciilifeform: l0l

asciilifeform: nothing about same-masters in there.

asciilifeform: and the instructions were, and i recall, 'if this one is used, old one is to be considered dead'

asciilifeform: this was deedbotted

asciilifeform: and just recently mircea_popescu published a spare key !

asciilifeform: hey i was not counting on the idiot sks update process

asciilifeform: what is wrong with 'new key signed with old.'

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: who said 'through poorly specified'

asciilifeform: 'Prince suggests that the incidents of CAPTCHA-challenge could be reduced if Tor adopted a plugin that could send ‘a cryptographically secure but anonymous token to services like CloudFlare in order to verify that the request is not coming from an automated system’. Draft code for the plugin has been provided by CloudFlare on GitHub.' << l0l!!

asciilifeform: in other lulz, https://twitter.com/voidiss/status/715600531058724864

asciilifeform: trinque: neato

asciilifeform: (this thing where folks expect keys to never change, is lulzy, yes i get it, mircea_popescu gotta prevent mpex account resale, but it is dumb in any other context)

asciilifeform: use the one in the wot.

asciilifeform: my keys are renewed every year.

asciilifeform: so update the key.

asciilifeform: wut

asciilifeform: in-band!1111

asciilifeform mutters malignantly about the idiocy of clearsigning and 'plain text'

asciilifeform: newlines ?

asciilifeform: l0l

asciilifeform: anyway i signed, because apparently nobody believes that i am this far gone into insanity

asciilifeform: http://dpaste.com/39RP0EY.txt << dpaste, in case comment mangled

asciilifeform reposted bid, signed

asciilifeform: ideally.

asciilifeform: if i win the auction (l0l) i will make the pet operate it.

asciilifeform: anyway i can't imagine mine is the winning bid, the thing is a valuable mechanism, surely worth a fat bag of coinz

asciilifeform: afaik nothing but the reputation

asciilifeform: *sane

asciilifeform: he's the only same fella left in old #b-a i think

asciilifeform: phf: presently it's kako and i re bbet auction

asciilifeform: get the skeletons, bogwater, dirt out - engine will purr.

asciilifeform: like old t-34 pulled from the swamps.

asciilifeform: imho it could be repaired.

asciilifeform: seems like it.

asciilifeform: dispatch from planet earth (old #b-a) - i bid a few coinz for poor old bbet, and kako thinks i went off my sanity

asciilifeform: aha, 'red' is how the bureaucrats get to/from their stakes, from/to the posh suburban mcmansions.

asciilifeform: l0ltr0n

asciilifeform: ^ tldr - washington metro will close entire lines

asciilifeform: l0l!

asciilifeform: speaking of subways, https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/trafficandcommuting/2016/03/30/fba8ae0a-f688-11e5-9804-537defcc3cf6_story.html

asciilifeform: i forget why, i think we had 1 bottle tooo many

asciilifeform: in one night

asciilifeform: so we walked across ~whole city

asciilifeform: was shuttered by the time ben_vulpes and i thought of it

asciilifeform: i didn't get to it

asciilifeform: subte i assume is their subway ?

asciilifeform: if ever i end up there again i can even try without gas mask.

asciilifeform: eh setting foot in the virus pit was a good start imho.

asciilifeform: unlike m. gandhi, i dun do the self-mortification thing

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: and after that, i could have walked to confectionary and asked to smell a good cake !

asciilifeform: they were swimming-pool 'naked'

asciilifeform: aha

asciilifeform: there were !

asciilifeform: hey in america this is how 'experts' usually develop 'reputation', by maybe walking past a warehouse that was a lab once in 1950s on a stroll etc.

asciilifeform: there we go.

asciilifeform: aha!

asciilifeform: aha! actually the failed reddit thing, more so. some months ago i was fingered in some derp comment, ' mircea_popescu's demented lieutenant, in charge of argentinian bsdm....' or the like, i almost fell to the ground from my stake

asciilifeform: from my pov it was ~as much fun as standing in a rush hour train.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu and i and buncha folks went to a club, nominally s&m-tronic, but ~nobody (as far as my naked eye could see) was naked

asciilifeform: phf: parse ll(1)

asciilifeform: everyone started at ???

asciilifeform: it was like a sports bar with no tv

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: l0l, it was hilarious, no one fucked in the club

asciilifeform: how did i even end up in this thread, this is the perfect example of mircea_popescu's 'gynaeceum material, dun work in forum' thing.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu's 'pissed in the back alley of cairo' example

asciilifeform: wasn't trying to frame as prescription. describing own desires. not any more portable than mircea_popescu's golden shower thing

asciilifeform: this is not 'cooking' (which i quite approve of) but room-temperature-cheese.

asciilifeform: trinque: because the robot suit is not 'nice' in my hindbrain.

asciilifeform: на вкус и цвет товарищей нет (tm) (r)

asciilifeform: phf: i'm allergic to 'female culture', shoes, piles of gaudy clothing idiocy, etc. what of it.

asciilifeform: in 2 separate cases.

asciilifeform: i did also.

asciilifeform: can haz the gassing for phree?? it was late! (like domino's pizza !)

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: finally, meta-nsa !111

asciilifeform: 'smell of library' only works on poseur imbeciles.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: this was attempted, i had the elementary nervous system to resist

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it just makes me a hermit, who keeps 1 pet, and not 3 etc.

asciilifeform: there is no particularly good reason for anyone to give a shit.

asciilifeform: i only even mention it because came up, in thread.

asciilifeform: phf: not necessarily 'are animal', but 'smell of animal', trigger my personal allergy.

asciilifeform: hanbot: the ones who do both, if even exist, are prolly all living in mircea_popescu's house already.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i'm allergic, what of it. just can't do the zoophilia thing, never could.

asciilifeform: but it is well-specified nothing!111

asciilifeform: i get nothing.

asciilifeform: who said i got pass.
