asciilifeform wonders what other 'best versions' and of what he makes with 'fsb spetznaz plans', and according to whom.

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=27-12-2015#1354419 << ahahahahaha wut. ☝︎

asciilifeform: why do you need this ? got some prisoners who like to subvocalize launch codes in their sleep ?

asciilifeform: afaik there is not a commercial gadget for subvocal

asciilifeform: nope

asciilifeform: old nyooz.

asciilifeform: VariaVarietatis: 'subvocal speech recognition'

asciilifeform: 'It is about sending a strong message. I think we may need to start an accreditation scheme for Bitcoin-consensus compliant wallets and services. Through code signing and use of multisig, we can even distinguish transactions made by compliant wallets and non-compliant wallets, and have pools not mine them (or wallets refuse to send to known-non-compliant wallets).' ☟︎☟︎☟︎

asciilifeform: https://github.com/bitcoin-dot-org/bitcoin.org/pull/1178

asciilifeform: in other lulz,

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=27-12-2015#1354298 << how's that ? they will move the belching smokestacks to usaschwitz ? ☝︎

asciilifeform: was counting a bloated debug.log

asciilifeform: or hm, ~68

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=27-12-2015#1354334 << ~92 GB ☝︎

asciilifeform: ugh

asciilifeform: a very different sort of affair, but same method.

asciilifeform: most of the extant literature concerning dpa is about extracting firmware from copyprotected microcontrollers in a laboratory setting

asciilifeform: as i pointed out a year+ ago, a trezor plugged into a specially-instrumented but visually uninteresting pc will give up its key.

asciilifeform: or, in modern times, you plug your box into a usb jack in a cafe

asciilifeform: e.g., a typewriter in an embassy, and enemy attached a precision ampermeter to your mains

asciilifeform: the scenario of a dpa attack is where you have possession of the machine, but the enemy controls the power supply

asciilifeform: at the very least, he can make use of it using the machine as it was designed to be used

asciilifeform: if someone walks away with your cipher machine while you sleep, and he has half a brain, he will have your key

asciilifeform: i suppose i ought to explain dpa as a thing

asciilifeform: thestringpuller: if you have trouble sourcing batteries not containing usg dpa circuitry, invest in a dental xray machine

asciilifeform: thestringpuller: it runs on batteries.

asciilifeform: (and also i will add that trezor has a considerably simpler orifice, but we digress, folks who read the logz know what it is)

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=27-12-2015#1354327 << dpa is not only not my idea, but it pre-dates the computer (see, e.g., https://fveydocs.org/document/learning-enemy-gunman concerning typewriters, or the soviet cipher machines that had ballast coils) ☝︎

asciilifeform: long ago, after the failed american invasion of cuba at the bay of pigs, usg offered a million for the head of castro's #2, half a million for #3, and a penny for castro's

asciilifeform: and all were ddosed ?

asciilifeform: there are how many - 1000 ? xt nodes ?

asciilifeform apparently slept through this

asciilifeform: the ddos of trilema ? qntra ?

asciilifeform: http://dpaste.com/25MGHBZ for everybody else ☟︎

asciilifeform: ty mircea_popescu

asciilifeform: run moar dns.

asciilifeform: 'here in the chicago meat yards, we use the entire pig. even the squeal...'

asciilifeform: not much has changed.

asciilifeform: hey most pc users ~still~ end up with keyboard jitter as entropy source

asciilifeform: punkman: possibly

asciilifeform: http://qntra.net/2015/12/juniper-fiasco-greenwald-complicit-in-sustaining-mass-surveillance/#comment-33147 << lulzy

asciilifeform: or rather, http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=24-12-2015#1351451 ☝︎

asciilifeform: see also http://log.bitcoin-assets.com//?date=24-12-2015#1351630 ☝︎

asciilifeform: look forward to more cia-mole 'stress tests' at ukr power stations.

asciilifeform: punkman, jurov: i can't speak for other folks, but i learned that i fucking hate thumb keyboardz

asciilifeform: vermin are thermodynamically inevitable

asciilifeform: let the rats feed on the rats.

asciilifeform: i had to worry about them ??

asciilifeform: wai wut

asciilifeform: (it isn't as if the money they spent were their own, or its supply - finite)

asciilifeform: usg 'expertz' have approximately as much to fear from sc4mz0rz as mountain from mosquitoes

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu et al: maslennikov has a lulzy chapter on how rng for key generation was done (late '80s, imported 'pc xt' in kgb, but no trng naturally). answer: chix playing 'tetris'

asciilifeform: ( see also http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=18-12-2015#1345987 ) ☝︎

asciilifeform: 'And in this one, she complains of an imminent “devaluation” in January, which would leave workers poorer.' << ahahaha

asciilifeform: (roughly, cattle - straight to the stalls!)

asciilifeform: Быдло, в стойло ! (tm) (r)

asciilifeform: shinohai: enjoy the clean air, while it lasts, eventually the crap artists will find proxies outside aws

asciilifeform: shinohai: aha! they can breathe! and many more interesting folks connected: cn, ru, etc

asciilifeform: separate hierarchy

asciilifeform: y'know, sorta like the church in the old days

asciilifeform: or whatever this is called today

asciilifeform: one reason why sometimes popular, is that it was a parallel vertical

asciilifeform: aha

asciilifeform: there were analogous ones everywhere

asciilifeform: jurov: these were leaflets dropped by germany at the front

asciilifeform: german authorship, if it isn't obvious

asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: ww2, almost certainly in the blitzkrieg phase

asciilifeform: (even if you can find something that runs tolerably on it)

asciilifeform: and virtually useless

asciilifeform: http://chainxor.org/openwrt-zipit/zipit-openwrt.jpg << looks like this.

asciilifeform: http://linux.zipitwireless.com

asciilifeform: punkman, jurov: i have a similar device, 'zipit'

asciilifeform: i tried for some years to find a vendor, then gave up

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=26-12-2015#1353919 << this is a famously unobtainable gadget. (of questionable utility, also. just try pressing those keys) ☝︎

asciilifeform: cost something like 6K usd in '97.

asciilifeform: because it wasn't a 'shitbook', had decent display and usable (if with 8 fingers) keyboard

asciilifeform: you can't buy this now, for any amount of money

asciilifeform: i loved that machine. it fit in a motherfucking coat pocket

asciilifeform: aha

asciilifeform: (because the src packages are no longer available)

asciilifeform: and it is fine to say 'use lynx.' so i did. but turns out that you CAN'T GET the box running 'as if it was 2004' when my libretto happily ran freebsd with no lag

asciilifeform: 'Running Firefox on this machine to browse "modern," Javascript-heavy sites is an excercise in frustration; the 2015 version of CNN.com basically freezes Firefox for 30 seconds or more.'

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=26-12-2015#1353958 << mega-l0l, more or less same conclusion as my experience with toshiba libretto in '14 ☝︎

asciilifeform: and so it goes for usg's.

asciilifeform: but i don't know very many people who give half a fuck re: nazi case law today

asciilifeform: in case anyone can be bothered

asciilifeform: anyway linked document solely because it appears to contain citations to case law

asciilifeform: 'nsl'

asciilifeform: iirc these are typically delivered as snail mail, victim signs for package

asciilifeform: stole a snail mail ?

asciilifeform: (ianal)

asciilifeform: 20 yrs to life ?

asciilifeform: vs what? take a pen and poke a policeman ?

asciilifeform: this is usg's way of laughing

asciilifeform: so they unsealed... what? a portion of the boilerplate...

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: but in a very laughable sense where we DON'T learn the identity of the victim OR anything pertinent re: why he was picked

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=26-12-2015#1353876 << so cheap is the octopus ink, but so laughably transparent - this idiocy is supposed to make folks forget about the tor 0day ? ☝︎☟︎

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=26-12-2015#1353859 << terrible translation. correct one: 'every politruk you see - hoist him high into a tree' ☝︎☟︎

asciilifeform: aha! thar he is

asciilifeform: ;;later tell mircea_popescu http://dpaste.com/06339V3 ( https://cryptome.org/2015/12/nsl-under-seal-026-030.pdf ) re: 'national security letters', interesting record of failed resistance through litigation
