justJanne: and the sound quality, tbh, is great. Just not worth 20$
a month
justJanne: I found
a way, but now I have
a few thousand files encrypted, the corresponding PBKDF2WithHmacSHA1 encryption keys, but was too lazy to find the client-side salt for that
justJanne:
A music streaming service that streams lossless unedited FLAC files
justJanne: (yes, Tidal uses
a native plugin for in-browser DRM)
justJanne: the in-browser DRM is
a native binary that is pretty much stripped of any information, actually kinda hard to use, but the Android version of almost everything is stupid
ascii_field: it's really just
a ritualized version of the familiar cracking of w4r3z
mircea_popescu: this is where
a bring young mind learns what C really is all about :D
justJanne: the only optimizable place would be the point where we do
a two-out-of-three logic
justJanne: okay, I’m kinda in
a hurry – anyone know
a fast way to do two-out-of-three in boolean logic with less than 5 operators?

a few moments.
mircea_popescu: "Male guppies (Poecilia reticulata) have been observed to forcefully copulate with females by trying to insert their gonopodium (male sex organ) into female’s genital pores, whether or not they are accepting. Sometimes, male guppies also try to forcefully mate with Skiffia bilineata (goodeid) females, which resemble guppy females and tend to share the same habitat, even when guppy females are available.
A possible ex
mircea_popescu: in other news, "In the newt species Notophthalmus viridescens, males carry out
a courtship behavior called amplexus. It consists of males capturing females that do not want to mate with them and using their hind limbs to grasp the females by their pectoral regions." << check out the newt pua!
mircea_popescu: hm, i recall there were supply problems in the eu. but maybe worth
a try.
ascii_field: Apocalyptic: the precaution taught in school is that 'prng is bad because enemy might learn the seed.' which is
a 'lie of omission' - given the existence of
a relation between bit N and bit N+1, enemy may have the means to infer N+1 (and N-1) from N
mircea_popescu: Jautenim or you could order
a pogo and help that effort along ?
Jautenim: I'm planning to rent
a cheap vps and run it more or less full time
Apocalyptic: mxtm, Mersenne twister seeded with
a strong seed is also
a defined sequence
mxtm: yeah, that's what i was trying to convey, it's
a defined sequence
ben_vulpes: Jautenim: not
a great deal, i think mod6 ran one in less than 200MB of RAM recently, but that was with asciilifeform's 'orphanage thermonuke'
mircea_popescu: mxtm it's not
a REAL entropy source. it's
a defined sequence that may be confused for an entropy source, if one's definition of entropy is test based.
mircea_popescu: Jautenim atm it's practically running on
a pogo, so very low.
justJanne: the issue with pi is that it is
a very slow RNG
mircea_popescu: justJanne the application here is that, if i give you
a string of random numbers which unknown to you are the nth digit of pi onwards, you may think you have entropy by "tests".
justJanne: @ascii_field, about pi: No, pi is not
a good source of entropy
ben_vulpes: trinque: i still have no idea how to do
a local overlay for
a package pulled from portage
trinque: interesting; I'll consider the dieharder source code
a starting point for further research.
mircea_popescu: you must have
a theory as to what exactly would it do before you can actually say
a rng was shown weak by dieharder.
mircea_popescu: ah good point. mind that merely
a failed test is of itself meaningless
ascii_field: it is
a comparative, rather than absolute measure
ascii_field: trinque: if you are
a n00b to dieharder, i must remind you that just about anything looks like 'weak result'
trinque: I'll chew on the thing for
a while and see what comes of it
trinque: ben_vulpes: that said
a working dieharder can be built with my naive patch listed in that bug report
trinque: ben_vulpes: the actual dieharder code uses glibc internals in
a way that used to work, now does not due to as yet undiscovered source of rust, with vague indications that compiling with std=c99 has implications for glibc
trinque: rather than
a copy step; might've been what you meant
trinque: if you're booting from USB you can make the chroot
a mount of the thing's own partitions
mod6: mircea_popescu: ahh, yeah. having gone through the gauntlet already on the thing at least
a dozen times in aws, and also now having re-read the Gentoo-Handbook, i feel like I'm very close on this. To complete the guide, i wanna test out all of the steps on real hardware so the steps are accurate. I believe it'll entail something like creating
a USB boot image, then booting off of that, then creating
a stage3 in
a chroot, then deploying that to
mod6: And as far as the gentoo stuff goes, I kinda had to put that on hold for
a minute. I'm going to finish the rest of that up on real hardware. But to do so, I gotta drive across town and buy
a new box. I might wait until after the 1st to continue this front.
mike_c: thanks! nice things can happen when there is
a good foundation to work from.
mircea_popescu: but it's
a tower of cool to shake the very foundations of "web 2.0" idiocy.
davout: americans are
a big no-no
mircea_popescu: btw copypaste ^ now there's
a banner to
a respectable exchange in the rotation, people can buy btc there.
trinque: I have
a half-baked notion that people in the US like this show because they are aware of 200 years of history, if that, and only of their own dirt
mircea_popescu: "we are the 1 herp, because percents are
a jdif conspiracy"
mircea_popescu: is game of thrones the one with
a dumb bitch that's the hero in spite of not doing anything ? (outside of feelings)
ascii_field: davout: b-
a fairy only hands out honourable deaths
mircea_popescu: davout i think this is one of those stories of old world privilege meanwhile abandoned because impractical and who gives
a shit. just don't make it sur, that's niggerspeak
davout: mircea_popescu: i wish the b-
a fairy gave me more money, instead of more hair
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: i was drummed out of academia while reasonably young, for the crime of not-giving-
a-rat's-arse
ascii_field: 'It doesn't work when Nadia Heninger goes to sell Phuctor before Stanford - Nadia Heninger doesn't own Phuctor, and the actual owners are very much present and very much capable to bitchslap her into oblivion.' << actually, 'crime pays.' chick gets
a phd and cushy sinecure, etc.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: "Or perhaps they did that stupid human trick that never fails: If you have excess funds, procreate until you no longer have excess funds, then share the funds equally until you all die." << afaik this was never done in practice, outside of easter island. not that women everywhere didn't endlessly & forever try. but anyway, re the ancient women broken strat discussion, THIS is
a fine statement of the problem.
trinque: "In closing, for the tl;dr / eli5 / etc crowd : this article is not for you. Go back to doing the dishes, we'll wake you up once you need to buy
a new flag." << fucking glorious.
mircea_popescu: btw, anyone with
a slashdot acct ? plox to dump the above link ?
trinque: mircea_popescu: I noticed scoopbot was absent for
a while, and after many complaints just loaded the feeds plugin into tenyks
mircea_popescu: ever since the us got on this kick about retards using things, stuff that's not for retards has been at
a disadvantage.
ascii_field: how about he's locked in
a room and only fed once it runs.
mircea_popescu: "we'll just have
a world without diehard. should be fine as long as ux is good"
ascii_field: the reduction requires altering
a header field
ascii_field: in yet other news, one of the invalid-sig keys is
a careful reduction of key size by 1 bit, and very interesting pattern of modifications to public N (not one-bit-flip and not from-this-point, but regularly spaced)
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: so in other news one of the keys from last night has
a valid sig
Apocalyptic: oh, I thought you knew the answer and it was
a challenge
Apocalyptic: ascii_field, i'm still thinking about your "exercice for the reader" from yesterday as to how get $othersmuckQ without at least doing
a division for every modulus encountered
ascii_field: thus i conjecture that full factorization can be had, at reasonable cost, if there is
a reason to attempt it
ascii_field: Apocalyptic: see earlier link re: lenstra. there are algos which are optimized for the kind of scenario which appears to exist here (
a multitude of smaller primes rather than two extremely large ones)
assbot: Logged on 13-05-2015 21:42:17; asciilifeform: re: '21' etc >> 'The cornerstone of the strategy as presented would have been the release of consumer products that would turn power from wall sockets into bitcoin through the widespread dissemination of bitcoin mining chips.' << -somebody- clearly reads the 2013 #b-
a logs.
Apocalyptic: on
a 311 decimal base number I have my doubts, even msieve refuses to crunch it
☟︎ Apocalyptic: <ascii_field> at least one falls under the classical 'generated and correctly signed with dud key' // is that key at least
a classic RSA key, meaning its modulus consists of only 2 prime factors as opposed to the case discussed yesterday ?
decimation: right, but if
a cosmic ray were to zing through
a ram stick, I wouldn't expect
a 32 bit word to change completely?
ascii_field: decimation: this is not
a consistent pattern across the entire set.
ascii_field: several have invalid self-sigs and for
a subset of these,
a non-rotten antecedent key can be found (as pointed out by the peanut gallery)
trinque: run
a query, it barfs the results with appropriate widgets given the type of data
trinque: I have lived in
a sea of shit
trinque: ascii_field: I recall somebody "doing" this by bolting webkit to
a terminal emulator :p
trinque: looks easy enough to fix so I'll probably take
a crack at it at some point
gribble: Error: "nice" is not
a valid command.

mike_c: it was discussed on hacker news. looks like there are
a handful of invalid subkeys on the sks servers
mats: their fire will be less accurate in
a firefight after
a day's patrol due to muscle fatigue
