asciilifeform: there are folks in wot who have neglected this.

asciilifeform also

asciilifeform: the chore that everybody here has been putting off into indefinite future - that of ~actually distributing one's entire modulus~ - is a necessary thing. ☟︎

asciilifeform: point being, gpg --keyserver wherever.the.fuck --recv-key 0xfingerprint can now return magical key.

asciilifeform: it does not contain the modulus he signs with. only bottom 64b of the sha1 of....

asciilifeform: thing is, let's recall how key familiarity works right now. e.g., mircea_popescu's business card.

asciilifeform: which is hardcoded to sha1..

asciilifeform: sure. but this does nothing for key fp.

asciilifeform: notice that the length of the packet is not even bounded

asciilifeform: so, generate something like a reasonable modulus, and then proceed.

asciilifeform: notice that 'the entire Public-Key packet' leaves plenty of tweakable bits on top of the modulus

asciilifeform: it'll be a 'key'

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: cost of a sha1 collision is less than a year of schmuck pay at this point.

asciilifeform: do i need to carry on, or is it clear ?

asciilifeform: 'A V4 fingerprint is the 160-bit SHA-1 hash of the octet 0x99, followed by the two-octet packet length, followed by the entire Public-Key packet starting with the version field. The Key ID is the low-order 64 bits of the fingerprint.'

asciilifeform: section 12.2 of rfc4880 sayeth,

asciilifeform: mod6: any segfault ?

asciilifeform: mod6: nothing interesting here

asciilifeform: ;;later tell mod6 also check system log for segfault, and post that, if found.

asciilifeform: ;;later tell mod6 i saw nothing anomalous on my remaining node... plz post your log at time of crash ?

asciilifeform: lastly, #30 - linux.

asciilifeform: #24 - 'spam'

asciilifeform: #22 - 'trojan'

asciilifeform: #14 ' worldwide web'

asciilifeform: #12 ' user interface'

asciilifeform: #8 - 'open source'

asciilifeform: ('айфон')

asciilifeform: #3 - 'iphon'

asciilifeform: #2 'macbook air'

asciilifeform: 1st - 'sound card'

asciilifeform: aha

asciilifeform: (somehow this made it more interesting)

asciilifeform: with caveat that, if it fell, there would be broken glass

asciilifeform: could stand up in carpet and build a kind of house-of-cards

asciilifeform: square, about the size of a man's palm

asciilifeform: there was a massive box of'em

asciilifeform: as a child i played with father's set of glass filters from his colour photo days in su army

asciilifeform: colour is a bitch.

asciilifeform: b&w you can process while half asleep

asciilifeform: thestringpuller: normally...

asciilifeform: i usedto have a real camera, sold years ago.

asciilifeform: (i still have it)

asciilifeform: pretty good potato.

asciilifeform: thestringpuller is posting from a time warp ?

asciilifeform: (not yet knowing, then, that the real zeiss was carted off to su and never seen again outside of it)

asciilifeform: i picked the thing up because - like a total chump - i saw 'carl zeiss' on the chassis

asciilifeform: (an ancient and heavily-proprietary turd which sells for 5x/byte vs 'sd')

asciilifeform: this particular gadget is an astonishing - for that vendor - surrender to the civilized world, in its omission of 'sony memory stick'

asciilifeform: as to 'what school did they go to' - the sony school of apple-before-apple, surely.

asciilifeform has similar with debug cables for various boardz

asciilifeform: this works if fortress, yes.

asciilifeform misplaced the martian cable ages ago, pulls out the flash card to read back, yes

asciilifeform: l0l

asciilifeform: won't find it in any 'chinese bag of all usb heads'

asciilifeform: nope.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: http://sp.sony-europe.com/da/392/144804.jpeg << it

asciilifeform: it's a trapezoidal chimera

asciilifeform: not on mine

asciilifeform: and can also ask who came up with the martian connector on that thing

asciilifeform: (came with a bag of batteries, too)

asciilifeform: and yeah, i have a thing that goes in a mains socket and eats the battery

asciilifeform has same camera as mircea_popescu

asciilifeform: ahahahahahaha

asciilifeform: (it will still turn its wheels, at least for a while...)

asciilifeform: at the very least it is guaranteed to make the thing worthless

asciilifeform: dower.

asciilifeform: (didja know? they had'em)

asciilifeform: aha, sorta like president of su

asciilifeform: (what's a dungeon if not a tower with flipped sign bit)

asciilifeform: it's more of a dungeon than a tower

asciilifeform: dark wizard will need new eyeglasses soon.

asciilifeform: that'd be me.

asciilifeform: ergo winblowz.

asciilifeform: every day.

asciilifeform: i work with malware.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: doesn't work so well with vm and emulators, which stupidly pump video buffer straight from emulated winblowz

asciilifeform: and yes, before anyone bothers to ask, the thing ~has~ to be portable, and yes, has to fit in knapsack

asciilifeform: every single one ever made.

asciilifeform: like all of them - proprietary lvds cable

asciilifeform: nope.

asciilifeform: aha.

asciilifeform: i've been squinting at <2mm text for ~year now.

asciilifeform: even with closed turd kernel mods

asciilifeform: generally this results in a box where external display jacks are unusable under linux

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: optimus, is a very special turd where 2d vga chip tries to share a DAC with 3d gpu
