assbot: 0 results for 'ada ravenscar' : http://s.b-a.link/?q=ada+ravenscar
asciilifeform: languages where a program is intended to be 'rationated' by means of machine, tend to be agonizingly restrictive
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform generally, it is a safe assumption that any diddlomatics coming out of nsa are highly engineered to bypass automatic detection
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the lulzy part is that it was -already- handled this way. only thing that will change (once anyone gets around to it) is a few lines in a spreadshit
decimation: I have no doubt it would produce much noise, but it is a possible starting point
BingoBoingo: mod6: As best as I can tell twas not a #b-a regular who said that so major props
BingoBoingo: But I mean if the US Supreme court takes the Elonis case's legacy further... they will have to answer is drunk a Mens Rea
BingoBoingo: <decimation> 'drunks and domestic disputes' consume the vast majority of the court's time << Fuck you my case has only been a plaque in neighboring county's arteries for two years nao
decimation: at any rate, that papersplease.org is a pretty good blog, has much to say on the police state in the us, especially with with respect to flying
decimation: somehow they are in a hurry to get back to them, rather than thinking about the wider ramifications of the government's assertations
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform also, 29 is a new prime innit.
mircea_popescu: a police court is the choice way to deal with drunks and domestic disputes.
decimation: and where it might have a modicum of oversight, congress stamps it down
decimation: more and more it seems like the judicial branch simply acts as a rubber stamp for the executive
decimation: a collection of police who decide to throw you in the gulag?
decimation: heh what is a 'police court'
mod6: i wouldn't worry about it. these are experimental as of now. at a later time, they maybe included in a milestone release.
shinohai: I just got bored and wanted to see if it would work on a spare shell I had.
mod6: so hopefully the guide I create will make it a bit easier. hopefully.
mod6: but it has this uclibc hardened stage3 that i'd like to try out as a platform from which we can utilize building and testing the R. I.
mod6: gentoo is a nightmare.
mod6: shinohai: oh, im creating a guide on how to build gentoo on a physical box. it seems that the handbook covers it mostly. except for me I had problems with some things.
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> mod6 was working on getting one together but im sure he can use help << yeah, certainly on testing. i bought a pos box to use to build a physical gentoo box guide. i messed up something now grub is unhappy. I havne't been able to take a decent look at it since sunday morning.
BingoBoingo: I've been using it a while every version I used is the same local machine only deal that encrypts the derpy web passwords together in a single database file. Working on all the *nixen is a plus
punkman: I usually recommend Keepass to people that have been using a single password for the past 15 years
alphonse23_: but I use a lot of services online
asciilifeform: alphonse23_: you already own a device for storing passwords. it is attached to your shoulders.
alphonse23_: like, not necessarily a key locker, but somewhere to store passwords
asciilifeform: alphonse23_: what is a 'key locker' ?
alphonse23_: I've actually been meaning to start using a key locker or something ☟︎
asciilifeform: alphonse23_: if someone else has a copy of your private key, whether because you let them generate it for you, or gave it up for storage for 'convenience', he can do anything which you can do. this ought to be obvious
danielpbarron: the recommendation in here is to not even use newer versions of gpg, let alone some add-on made by a dating website guy
williamdunne: alphonse23_: Its compromised if you a) generate your keys with them, or b) store your keys with them.
alphonse23_: so you could say it's a compromised service
alphonse23_: had no idea. I only used keybase.io because someone I know was using it, and I thought it was a great idea.
asciilifeform: alphonse23_: there is a large and well-established network of public key servers. e.g., https://pgp.mit.edu and other sks
BingoBoingo: <alphonse23_> maybe though the issue is, where would one store a public key. on whose server << Ideally if you want people to find your public key you spray it all over, but especially spray it in venues associated with your identity.
shinohai: Don't. Use a keyring or a yubi.
alphonse23_: maybe though the issue is, where would one store a public key. on whose server
asciilifeform: alphonse23_: it is 'user friendly' in the same way that a mousetrap is mouse-friendly
alphonse23_: it comes with a CLI app that lets you verify anyone on their servers
alphonse23_: that's a good point asciilifeform
assbot: 64 results for 'keybase' : http://s.b-a.link/?q=keybase
alphonse23_: i've been using a service called keybase.io lately. Is that a noob service?
asciilifeform: typically users of pgp/gpg upload their public keys there, and they can later be retrieved by anyone using a hash of the key
asciilifeform: alphonse23_: it isn't one specific server, but a network of mirrors
asciilifeform: alphonse23_: basic idea, which is very old, is that euclid's greatest-common-divisor algorithm is very fast, for arbitrarily large numbers. so if two or more rsa keys were to share a factor, it will pop up.
alphonse23_: yea, I've read a fair share of online guides about it
alphonse23_: and what point are you not a noob
alphonse23_: i'm not that big of a noob
asciilifeform: williamdunne: i think we have a genuine noob here, and you are addling him
williamdunne: Debian was a joke on my part
alphonse23_: doesn't that only leave a handful of primes though
asciilifeform: alphonse23_: no. the size of the modulus, typically a product of two primes
williamdunne: Two identical twin brothers at a festival, guy tries to cheat on his girlfriend with some bird
NewLiberty: $10/month is about equiv to the electricity cost of a 120v machine running 24/7 for a year
trinque: I think linode starts out at 10 bucks a month
alphonse23_: owning a server, even if it's through digital ocean, would still be slightly more expensive.
BingoBoingo: alphonse23_: Well, if you want to be a dick you could use botnet slaves as IRC bouncer, but easier to leave an old machine on at home to bounce IRC. Black and white Macs are ideal
alphonse23_: I wonder though. I pay irccloud 5 dollars a month
trinque: alphonse23_: yup, or run a second box at home
alphonse23_: is a bouncer a server
trinque: alphonse23_: this is generally a "bouncer" you run elsewhere from your local computer
shinohai: For real. I use a shell and weechat
trinque: alphonse23_: that irccloud thing seems like a turd
alphonse23_: trinque: I know! I'm not that big of a noob
alphonse23_: this is the channel that announced that they factore a 4067 rsa key
ascii_field: jurov: those things were crafted. not a shred of doubt remains in my mind about it.
punkman: looks like random finnish dude that like weed and anime, maybe a Silk Road customer https://joindiaspora.com/posts/730630
ascii_field: for perhaps a week now!
ascii_field: 'But instead of routinely feeding U.S. intelligence agencies such data, the companies would be required to turn it over only in response to a government request approved by the secretive Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court.' << l0l, the same 'court' which consists of a remotely-operated rubber stamp for director of intel.
punkman: I remember some artist guy that dug-up a similar list of air transport shell companies that were used to move prisoners around
mircea_popescu: process id as a random value, god help us
mircea_popescu: Instead of mixing in random data for the initial seed, the only "random" value that was used was the current process ID. On the Linux platform, the default maximum process ID is 32,768, resulting in a very small number of seed values being used for all PRNG operations.
mircea_popescu: seriously ? this was a thing ?
punkman: seems like the guy found a bunch of people using keys generated while Debians OpenSSH could only make 32k distinct keys
jurov: but with their ratelimiting, might take over a week
scoopbot_revived: The fruits of a classical education. http://www.contravex.com/2015/06/02/the-fruits-of-a-classical-education/
ascii_field: ;;later tell nubbins` http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=02-06-2015#1151173 << i actually have one, bought from an ebay sc4mz0r most of a decade ago, somewhere in my parts box ☝︎
lobbes: ;;later tell WolfGoethe btw, you should get a cloak (ask on #freenode)
lobbes: ascii_field: curious myself, I googled teh quote. Found a wikipedia article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis_B._Mayer#cite_ref-Eyman.2C_p._277_69-0
mircea_popescu: not a bad idea, that.
assbot: Logged on 02-06-2015 19:14:23; mircea_popescu: myeah. a b-a os, in the shape of an usable open source something without idiocy/usgity baked in and with decent defaults so that people can install it without dedicating their life to it is ever more required.
jurov: it may be a problem to get the text back so that it verifies
williamdunne: Naphex: Fuck it, I'd actually go to that summit with you, but I've got a flight to Prague on Thursday
mircea_popescu: 728x90, make me a banner.
williamdunne: Naphex: Registered as a model
mircea_popescu: yo Naphex , want a banner on 8chan ?
mircea_popescu: lol. this is a bad format
pete_dushenski: as if writing 1000 lines a week in here wasn't enough data.
chetty: everyone must have a 'smartphone', how else they gonna keep track of you?
pete_dushenski: "Starting on 27 June 2015, SMS notifications from Google Calendar will no longer be sent. SMS notifications were launched before smartphones were available. Now, in a world with smartphones and notifications, you can get a richer, more reliable experience on your mobile device, even offline." << well fuck that.
mircea_popescu: myeah. a b-a os, in the shape of an usable open source something without idiocy/usgity baked in and with decent defaults so that people can install it without dedicating their life to it is ever more required. ☟︎
williamdunne: Oh, great. All I want is a stable OS with a well populated package manager
diana_coman: it could be interesting - I'll need to have a look at gentoo as I haven't really looked at it in ages
mircea_popescu: make a working gentoo.
williamdunne: In fairness, I've had to do that a few times on Ubuntu
diana_coman: neah, it waits a bit and then it "will let you know" when it finds one :)))
diana_coman: I've got eulora to compile under windows 8.1, but then the client quits: "psclient has stopped working. Windows is checking for a solution to the problem..."
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=02-06-2015#1150979 << i could of course just move it to a diff server, but whatevs. ☝︎
