mircea_popescu: they do
a typically fiat thing whereby they act like gpg is sorta like you know, this soft toy thing. they get an address like it were
a social media profile.
punkman: mircea_popescu: problem is I'm reimplementing website in PHP and also changing bot to send shit to PHP reliably, and it's all
a bit tangled up at the moment
mircea_popescu: punkman im not one iota closer to
a sensible situaiton here.
ascii_modem: bitstamp... confirm... <<< do we even know of
a published pubkey for them
Fun: who here knows
a bit about forex?
Fun: I just read the Greek government debt is at 175 percent right now, runs up to €330 billion. And
a lot of debt nowadays is ensured in the derivative markets :)
decimation: what kind of 'responsible' exchange keeps keys anywhere near
a terminal connected to the internet?
ascii_modem: write
a proper ircd <<< what exactly is this ?
cazalla: anyone have
a bitstamp account an able to confirm if they sent out an email 30m ago?
mircea_popescu: PinkPosixPXE if it's like 3-400 how about getting
a pair.
PinkPosixPXE: thank you! It was good to chat with you guys again and check in.. I may disappear
a bit later when we move my vps because we have to do an offline migration, but I'll always return, and be around :)
PinkPosixPXE: I just need to do
a little math on 'units of time/energ/projects' and potential independence from my day job at some point so I have more time
PinkPosixPXE: but that's
a great idea, and an offer I'd definitely be interested in potentially pursuing, and discussing further with you mircea_popescu
PinkPosixPXE: right now, I've spent so much time and energy through the holidays helping this provider/friend, and while I'll probably get an endless supply of vps resources from him at
a prorated "nothing" .. I need to setup
a business and direction for the future of my own thing, or at least make money when I output time/work
mircea_popescu: PinkPosixPXE how about i buy you some dedis and you admin them and run
a host for btc business ?
ben_vulpes: you have
a thing that works, congrats.
ben_vulpes: there are clever things you could do with hashing the order and using that as
a private key for receipts or something like that...
PinkPosixPXE: yea, I've noticed it where I shop using bitcoin quite
a bit
ben_vulpes: use
a btcd to watch incoming blocks for confirmations
PinkPosixPXE: I will probably have
a recurring tool that converst
a portion of it to fiat
PinkPosixPXE: I can see where I can put together
a much better product
ben_vulpes: PinkPosixPXE: you launch
a VPS service, take BTC (don't even denominate in BTC), and you've got custom right here.
PinkPosixPXE: I will probably eventually buy
a dedi that's
a bit better than the our new one
PinkPosixPXE: and made
a migration script for us to migrate to the new node, helped him pick it out
PinkPosixPXE: I have 3 vps' at
a very large (Free) discount with this provider
PinkPosixPXE: but it saved our butts quite
a bit over the last few weeks
PinkPosixPXE: it is
a band-aid until we can figure something better out
PinkPosixPXE: this way people can still get on their nodes, and are just informed that we've removed
a few ipv6 addresses that were being attacked.. instead of their node being suspended and shut off, and they are then freaking out
mircea_popescu: "oh, i see you're trying to connect to
a vps that
a) you've not connected before and b) is being attacked ? come back next week."
mircea_popescu: PinkPosixPXE how about write the script so that you keep track of foreign hosts, and once packet limit is reached for
a vps all foreign hosts that aren't on the list of hosts it connected in the past 24 hours get banned across the entire network ?
PinkPosixPXE: it's
a better solution for customers than 'container susspended again'
PinkPosixPXE: I'm going to update it to set
a timer to re enable them after
a certain period of time and do some updates to it, but it's been keeping things up for the last few weeks
PinkPosixPXE: but ipv6 is more difficult, so this does
a count on the packets, and if it exceeds the limit, it finds the ipv6 address, and vps in question, and then disables those addresses on the vps so they can't be targetted
PinkPosixPXE: oh man.. I've been helping my friend who runs
a VPS provider, gigebox.com, migrate everything to
a new host node
mircea_popescu: i seem to recall
a bunch of these, and they're all fucking respectful.
mircea_popescu: Phraust not much really. same old bs, restated in all seriousness by
a new generation of turnips.
mircea_popescu: "Welcome to the new ransomware economy, where hackers have
a reputation to consider." "welcome to the post-modern world, where 'criminals' are more reliable than governments, and certainly more useful."
mircea_popescu: "So what can we all do to protect ourselves? Keep our computers backed up on an independent drive or by using
a cloud backup service like Carbonite, take those software update and “patch” alerts seriously"
mircea_popescu: decimation: such
a law is obviously intended to protect criminals (politicians, bureaucrats) <<< or young women having casual sex.
mircea_popescu: ascii_modem: 'plagiarism' may be
a 'sin of the flesh', but plagiarists exist just the same as 'wankers' exist. << not what i meant. what i meant was the construct's nonsense.
ben_vulpes: is there
a pompous name for the l2 list? the dukes?
mircea_popescu: the thing where i put it in
a pastedbin dun work, im sick of looking up the url for the deedbot one.
mircea_popescu: yeah. i guess this calls for
a whole new category on trilema.
mircea_popescu: but anyway, since we're on it : anyone wish to write
a proper ircd ?
ascii_modem: folks who bring up fpga as
a solution - straight to ebay, pick up
a board, see if you can bake so much as an i386 compatible, with at least the original's performance, -without- the fpga vendor's closed libraries
☟︎ cazalla: thestringpuller, cbf this morning, didn't get to bed till 4am and i'm still
a bit tired
decimation: ascii_modem: in the earlier case of recording, my answer is: yes, you probably ought to have an iranian lawyer (or
a plan to get one) if you find yourself physically in iran
ascii_modem: 'don't read it, you'll be tainted for life and can never be
a legit open source dev again'
ascii_modem: linked article was similar to
a turd that made the rounds back when w2k source leake
assbot: Logged on 04-01-2015 22:52:28; ascii_modem: if you're an 'open source' whateverthefux, and you give
a fuck that your code 'is legal' - just surrender to jail now. save the bother.
decimation: ben_vulpes: do you fly gliders? that's
a neat hobby
decimation: yes, but my point is that if
a policeman is so inclined, he may throw you in jail, charge you, and you get to make these kinds of arguments to
a local prosecutor and then maybe
a judge
adlai: moe levin (conference organizer) has already gone on the public record saying that talks and Q&
A sessions will be recorded and recordings subsequently uploaded, further eroding whatever "reasonable expectation of privacy" could be claimed
decimation: adlai: us law has
a funny way of being misinterpreted by those to whom it would advantage
adlai: that happens at
a conference
adlai: "Florida law makes an exception for in-person communications when the parties do not have
a reasonable expectation of privacy in the conversation, such as when they are engaged in conversation in
a public place where they might reasonably be overheard. If you are operating in Florida, you may record these kinds of in-person conversations without breaking the law." <- pretty sure that covers anything
decimation: such
a law is obviously intended to protect criminals (politicians, bureaucrats)
adlai: er that was supposed to be
a :)
adlai: january's lemons have taken the form of btcmiami tickets, flights included. shouldn't be too big
a request from the benefactor to spend
a few hours snooping around the shillcoin booth/talks
decimation: adlai: there seems to be
a long history of people coming up with good ideas in lisp, and then spending the rest of their lives trying to get other languages to support small pieces of said idea
cazalla: adlai: would qntra be interested in coverage of garza @ btcmiami? <<< i wouldn't ask of you to waste your time doing that, it is already established he is
a liar and
a bad one at that, no point covering
a debate of which lies can be wormed out of
decimation: yeah from what I gather, AOP is kind of
a dumbed-down MOP
adlai: kinda like championing OO, where appropriate, as
a special case of closures, assuming your language supports the latter
adlai: ... as
a trivial extension when your language has
a MOP
ascii_modem: i happen to own
a lispm. and it is (still) for sale.
ascii_modem: arguments have never stood between any one at all becoming
a lampshade.
ascii_modem: i don't comprehend this "have to decrypt disk" bs. <<< again we can apply above principle. everybody complaining about the disk arse search - stop imagining that you have 'rights' and start apprehending the fact that you are being pursued by maniacs who will eventually like to turn you into
a lampshade.
ascii_modem: if you're an 'open source' whateverthefux, and you give
a fuck that your code 'is legal' - just surrender to jail now. save the bother.
☟︎ ascii_modem: fiat law apparatus is not an authority to be respected, but
a military enemy that wants to render you for your body fat and deserves the same respect that dog owes dogcatcher, or jew - the nazi polizei
ascii_modem: 'plagiarism' may be
a 'sin of the flesh', but plagiarists exist just the same as 'wankers' exist.
