nubbins`: incidentally i tried
a non-static build of openssl, auto.sh barfs w/ same error
nubbins`: asciilifeform his bedroom is being turned into
a paper-printing studio
assbot: Logged on 01-04-2015 22:18:14; ascii_field: nubbins`: but even something like living in
a dwelling without the company of strangers is
a titanically expensive luxury in most of the world
nubbins`: you don't generate
a public key from an email address, you generate it from
a private key
mod6: i thought everyone wanted to create
a common gentoo configuration.
mod6: yeah, what we need now is
a build environment as discussed yesterday. or we really can't move forward.
assbot: Logged on 02-04-2015 03:27:23; decimation: nubbins`: no that's
a different issue, not critical
assbot: Logged on 02-04-2015 03:26:58; nubbins`: "glibc uses libnss to support
a number of different providers for address resolution services. Unfortunately, you cannot statically link libnss, as exactly what providers it loads depends on the local system's configuration."
nubbins`: asciilifeform mod6 ben_vulpes and others: on
a side note, auto.sh doesn't put the openssl headers in /ourlibs/
nubbins`: well, i'd like to believe this is all an illusion and i'll eventually wake up, my 16-year-old self, sweating through the mattress in
a fever dream
nubbins`: the slightest twitch of
a finger.
nubbins`: i.e. they care enough to share
a link
nubbins`: golly gee, you shared
a whole link on bookface?
mike_c: funkenstein_: blockchain sync progress on
a SSD vs. 5400 rpm platters.
nubbins`: or, since i am generally always home, pick
a time when any normal person is precisely in the middle of
a night's rest
Adlai: sounds like his plan was "pick
a time when nubbins`'s probability density is most concentrated within the home"
nubbins`: because, y'know, if you lost your keys three days ago, you should come home drunk to
a locked house at 3:30am
nubbins`: after
a few minutes of this, my doorbell rings, so i go grab
a chunk of wood to cave the guy's face in with
nubbins`: yep. INCREDIBLY WEIRD, this.
a guy using tor.
mircea_popescu: "To view
a downloaded movie, you double-click it. And then you're watching it. Stick
a recent commercial DVD into your player, though, and you'll probably have to sit through lengthy, un-skippable warnings about how dastardly is the piracy in which you did not just engage."
mircea_popescu: how hard is it to reproduce
a coil of wire with... another coil of wire!
assbot: Logged on 02-04-2015 03:26:39; decimation: asciilifeform: one wonders what the openssl authors use as
a 'baseline os'
decimation: yeah, the 60's were definitely
a golden age of the hard sciences in the us
decimation: because they were seen as
a symbol of 'the man'
decimation: so there was
a hunger to 'own' said machine
decimation: one of the reasons why the "PC" was such
a success (as in the commodore, etc) was because many universities had taken to putting their computers behind
a locked wall
decimation: you would still need many of those cards to hold
a standard gpg key
decimation: that actually sounds pretty effective, assuming the listener didn't have
a recorder
decimation: yeah it's kinda the magnetic equivalent of
a bigass flywheel
decimation: was that one of your 'tiny pcbs in
a tin'?
decimation: "The value of the dummy-load resistors is choosen carefully, so that they the circuit draws the same current as the solenoids. As
a result, the PSU will not only supply
a constant voltage, but will also consume
a constant current" < this seems dubious on production units
decimation: heh it's not
a particularly fancy circuit
decimation: the trouble is getting enough 'holes' on
a reasonable size paper
decimation: well, the point is that
a fairly rigorous device could be made
decimation: asciilifeform: it strikes me that
a handy product would be
a little ada microcontroller with an implementation of rsa
decimation: nubbins`: no that's
a different issue, not critical
nubbins`: "glibc uses libnss to support
a number of different providers for address resolution services. Unfortunately, you cannot statically link libnss, as exactly what providers it loads depends on the local system's configuration."
decimation: asciilifeform: one wonders what the openssl authors use as
a 'baseline os'
decimation: one could imagine killing an ant colony, but not all ants on
a continent
mircea_popescu: the sheer fact of the b-
a of the time made it. the usg follows in all dances. never yet lead, never will lead.
mircea_popescu: who wants to fuck with an ipad when there's
a perfectly usable desktop ?
mircea_popescu: ". The deal, according to
a "solicitation" document, would be worth $2.1 million — to the U.S. taxpayer, at least." << how to get 20k ipads for 100 bucks each ?
mircea_popescu: well... nothing is as strictly relevant to national security as
a mining farm, factually speaking.
mircea_popescu: hm... check that out, actually it isn't. he has
a "coming through
a hole in the air", thing. and there's an excellent "the night comes on. it's very clam. i'd like to imagine my father was wrong..." very powerful verse somewhere else.
assbot: Logged on 02-04-2015 02:24:41; asciilifeform: this is 'the hole through which the night walks in', to borrow
a mircea_popescuism
mircea_popescu: usg doing
a splendid job of getting the muppets do the "case da joint" work for free.
mircea_popescu: since bitcoin pulled the code AS IT WAS and built
a chain on it, the optionsare :
assbot: Logged on 02-04-2015 02:21:46; asciilifeform: aha so now we have
a local fork of openssl ?
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I know openbsd has
a plan for governance post-Theo. The exact plans are opaque to me. It would be abberant for Beck to naturally outlive Theo, but... known unknown
decimation: well, china has
a relatively small core of 'managers', usg is really
a headless beast
assbot: Logged on 02-04-2015 02:00:00; BingoBoingo: OpenBSD has been nice to me, but weird compared to linux and as
a point that displeases MP poor fundraiser Bob Beck is in their WoT
BingoBoingo: decimation: Snowden is not
a person with Agency, yet he has handlers who are Agents.
decimation: "U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE),
a division of U.S. Homeland Security, said it would pull the plug on its 17,600 employee BlackBerrys and favor iPhones instead. The deal, according to
a "solicitation" document, would be worth $2.1 million — to the U.S. taxpayer, at least."
decimation: $19.95 I'm getting more comprehensive algorithm testing than I can for
a five-figure sum with the FIPS algorithm tests."
decimation: "Compare this to the example I gave earlier of performing
a TLS exchange with Amazon. This performs an in-depth test of all the crypto algorithms (corresponding to the FIPS algorithm tests, including ones that FIPS ignores), and the crypto mechanisms (many/most of which FIPS again ignores). In other words simply by connecting to Amazon using TLS and ordering
a "Scrubs" DVD for
decimation: this kinda 'works' when you are trying to keep
a somewhat frozen baseline
BingoBoingo only gave chewing tobacco 3 weeks as
a habit before returning to smoked tobacco
decimation: If you look at how redhat 'maintains'
a baseline of code, you find that they pile up patches as shit breaks
