mircea_popescu: but i guess we can wait :D
mircea_popescu: then it can be a "but i dun want to" and everyone can go home happy.
Vexual: i log numberplaltes
mircea_popescu: i dun recall what that was ?
decimation: '“Google could be doing business with firearms businesses. The thing is they won’t because of their stance [against firearms]. I can’t advertise on Google. I can’t advertise on Facebook. I can’t use Amazon, because they prohibit the majority of my products. I closed down that account over a year ago, and I still get notices from them, regardless of the emails I sent to them telling them that I’m not selling with them.”

asciilifeform: 'I can’t use Amazon, because they prohibit the majority of my products.' -- plenty of small-arms related junk on 'amazon'
mircea_popescu: Vexual i dun limo.
mircea_popescu: and fwiw a principle i studiously observed throughout my life and in all aspects so far. cop wants to bitch about tickets, his department can enjoy thirty eight different lawsuits.
Vexual: i like the art deco font, reminds me of a time i can't possibly remember
mircea_popescu: i can;t wait for when it's not about the block size but about the total bitcoins, and it's noit about "saving africa" but about saving ubs, and the howlers are not on the forum but on every tv screen,
mircea_popescu: so there's no confusion if i'm gettingserviced by oliver bussmann or by his mom.
decimation: I'm thinking of zurich insurance
asciilifeform: i distinctly recall hearing of it before
mircea_popescu: i thought this was highly personal and entirely idiosyncratic a view
decimation: decimation: i wonder if the device keys have even been 'phuctored' ever. << "CMs MUST store and maintain the CM Device Certificate RSA private/public key pairs. The CM MUST store the CM Device Certificate private keys in a manner that deters unauthorized disclosure and modification. Also, CMs SHOULD prevent debugger tools from reading the CM Device Certificate private key in production devices by restricting or blocking physical
asciilifeform: i was expecting a reference to the maths girl
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i'm not certain that a scan taking >year is worth much
asciilifeform: decimation: i wonder if the device keys have even been 'phuctored' ever.
asciilifeform: i.e. it was written before bitcoin was valuable.
punkman: asciilifeform: yeah I'm not sure it should be removed, the foundation shall decide. it was good for practice anyway
asciilifeform: punkman: i actually must confess that i disagree
assbot: Our thoughts are also with the measles-ravaged country America. I hope we are screening them before they come to Africa.
asciilifeform: punkman: i specifically did not mean 'use publicly available site which may or may not actually scan in the way printed on the box, and may or may not censor or otherwise diddle shown results'
asciilifeform: i.e. is it baked in at factory
asciilifeform: decimation: i can't be arsed to wade through spec, but didja find who generates key?
asciilifeform: decimation: i haven't a clue, but generally a mass-produced gadget in usa -never- used proper public key crypto
decimation: but I don't know if the spec is open
asciilifeform: i can't say that i've kept up with the work on the subject
asciilifeform: decimation: i'm aware of work re: 'uncapping' (cheat for bandwidth augment) but also proper pwnage of modems
decimation: I wonder if anyone has attempted to hack around with docsis at the physical layer
decimation: asciilifeform: yeah port 445 is amusing. I remember years ago when you could 'hack' by clicking 'show network neighborhood' on winblows
asciilifeform: actually i must revise above. winblows 445 incoming is often zapped
asciilifeform: outgoing - port 25 typically dropped where i live
mircea_popescu: i mean, obviously, an idiot will exist for whatever idiocy. pretending that "transsexuals are hot now" is just trannie wet dreamin'.
asciilifeform: decimation: i can't speak for the whole planet, but nothing i've used in usa filters incoming except in the sense of -all- incoming being denied by wireless providers
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform can i get some public/private separation here!
asciilifeform: i'm a bit curious how their seed blob is generated
asciilifeform: i assume mircea_popescu did similar experimet.
mircea_popescu: except... i kept saying it and saying it since ages ago ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: as it is, it's a fallback after dns (snipped in patch i proposed last night) and irc mechanizms.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i posted that earlier today. observe: if the hardseed list were actually used with any frequency, we would have noticed the scarcity of still-usable seeds therein ages ago
mircea_popescu: i probably didn't do it right.
mircea_popescu: anyway, it's sent, jurov let me know what i fucked up
mod6: well, but also, i like i was saying, it's inconsistant. because TomServo has checkpoints included and he got through the gauntlet, and I did as well lastweek before the version patch.
danielpbarron: i have 2 more units to try other things on
danielpbarron: i'm just running that one while i figure the compile out
mod6: yeah, i wanna re-iterate here, all of the wedging issues ben and I had were /with/ checkpoints included. if we apply the rm_checkpoints patch, no longer a problem.
asciilifeform: this is kinda why i was reluctant to distribute binaries - i want everyone to know precisely what they're eating
asciilifeform: i'd love to know what blocks are in the molestation set.
mod6: i.e. TomServo having total success, and ben & I having weding problems.
mircea_popescu: i don't just "keep it around', it's what i actually use.
asciilifeform: and i doubt it's just 2 of us
mod6: yeah, well, still is the plan i should say :)
asciilifeform: mod6: this'd be why i objected to zapping the checkpoints thing wholesale. now, programmable checkpoints - by all means.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform nah, i keep old nodes and old chains.
mod6: i've got mutiple good v0.5.3 chains saved, but ... just was regression testing to ensure full sync with the v0.5.3.1 patch before release sign & cut
mod6: I wasn't fully sure that it wasn't our build script or something wonky screwing it up... but a hand-build showed the same result.
mod6: but then i applied the rm_checkpoints patch and then it continued on np.
mod6: one time i got wedged at like 27,5XX !?
mod6: got 100k blocks to go until i probably re-wedge @ 168k
mod6: i was getting pretty paranoid at first.
mod6: i probably do, but I'm making a fresh sync now.
mod6: asciilifeform: there is a snippit in the matrix one. not sure if I have a full one still.
asciilifeform: why no more than hour, i do not know - either good fortune, or their connection flakes out (see former), or ?
mod6: <+asciilifeform> mod6: not once have i seen the wedge at 168000 << us either, until 72 hours ago
mircea_popescu: mod6 i didn't see a 168000 exactly freeze either, ever
asciilifeform: mod6: not once have i seen the wedge at 168000
mircea_popescu: such a dumb premise tho. "i will write very bad prose, which will prove to you that sensible is shocking!!!1"
mircea_popescu: i guess anything can be a mega troll there.
mircea_popescu: but i'm not particularly interested to discuss anyone outside of their gender.
mircea_popescu: well here's the thing : i don't happen to give a shit about the guy's color
mircea_popescu: he seems to be proposing the notion that saying she when i mean a cuntbearer is about as bad as inventing a special ble pronoun to denote a guy's color
mircea_popescu: guess I cannot truly believe that anyone would see this piece that way. To misperceive it this way would be like calling someone a vicious racist for telling other people "The word 'nigger' is extremely offensive." If allusions to racism, especially for the purpose of satirizing racism and its cousins, are confused with racism itself, then I think it is time to stop writing."
mircea_popescu: ith this piece, despite-but also because of-its shock value. I think it makes its point better than any factual article could. As a friend of mine said, "It makes you so uncomfortable that you can't ignore it." I admit that rereading it makes even me, the author, uncomfortable! Numerous friends have warned me that in publishing this piece I am taking a serious risk of earning myself a reputation as a terrible racist. I
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform no but looky : "Perhaps this piece shocks you. It is meant to. The entire point of it is to use something that we find shocking as leverage to illustrate the fact that something that we usually close our eyes to is also very shocking. The most effective way I know to do so is to develop an extended analogy with something known as shocking and reprehensible. Racism is that thing, in this case. I am happy w
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it is (i thought this was very obvious) a spoof on subject
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i don't grok wtf this is supposed to be << was written when the whole 'pronoun warrior' thing was brand new
mod6: but, its weird, because a week ago i ran a full sync of: v0.5.3 + {1, rm_rf_upnp, 2, 3, 4, 6} and sync'd just fine, as you can see in the matrix notes (was able to send/receive here: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=FSA9gxs8)
mircea_popescu: A Person Paper on Purity in Language << i don't grok wtf this is supposed to be.
mod6: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=0Mdd9zrL
mod6: we're still testing this out... but i/we haven't encoutered anything like this until just this past 72 hours:
mod6: one sec, i have a matrix for what we've tried.
jurov: if i do, then i'll add upnp anyway. just fyi.
asciilifeform: i don't know any serious computer user who does not have a multitude of spinning disks at all times.
mircea_popescu: lol i have spinning disks.
jurov: jus' saying i don't have anyone to give pogostick to.
jurov: i won't contend that
jurov: i have never seen anyone except myself opening ports the normal way
mats: i need coffee
assbot: man I'm glad the systemd devs all have SSDs. http://t.co/92rGdSitBF
mircea_popescu: i tell you, within twenty years if that as much as having been interested in the left will be a hanging offense.
trinque: I tend to assume things like znc are riddled with holes
trinque: heh I wonder how many servers just got ssh'd into
mats: guy went to sleep before i got more details, im going to put up a vulnerable box later and see what happens
trinque: I told him to fuck off
pete_dushenski: I think that in the old days where the financial system was not too developed, the only way to develop a new idea was to be born rich, to have resources and use them. Today and increasingly so to the extent the financial system works well, you can start a company, apply an idea, or even run large companies even if you are not born rich and don't have a lot of money.
mircea_popescu: i doubt someone who has the werewithal to get the pogo going needs me to unpnp him
jurov: the upnpnp deamon, i mean
jurov: and it was the first thing excised... it will ran as standalone daemon, i guess
