mircea_popescu: all the "philanthropy" in christendom can not wipe away that shitstain.
mircea_popescu: records anyway, so I'm not sure if it was built around that limitation or it was a happy coincidence." << holy shit the "built around" theory really sounds pervasive dunnit ?
mircea_popescu: "The only good thing I can say about this product is that it does not create an MX record for your domain, upholding the "no MX" in the name. I've no idea why not having an MX record for your domain is a good thing, but, it doesn't create one nonetheless. The python script that runs every 15 minutes only adds A records for mail and localmail, nothing else. Interestingly, the GoDaddy API client that they use doesn't support MX
mircea_popescu: does this count as plagiarizing tmsr rhetoric or notrly ?
asciilifeform: 'As one person put it to me: MyDataAngel believes that they’re the “founding fathers” of truly-secure encryption. If you have a problem with this, then you must hate America. '
mircea_popescu: lel that last line got delayed a coupla minutes
mircea_popescu: FG allows airborne unit to be as qualified at X picking as ground unit is.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you still have to pick an X. if machine has no RNG, its picking of X will be weak.
mircea_popescu: yes you have the traditional model where quad talks to computer, and computer says "your next freq is X and encrypt to key Y" and it's all fine. but now quad can talk to quad, and pick an X just as good as computer'd have picked it. yes this is worthless if Y is weak anyway -- but if Y is not weak anyway it is in fact valuable, even if it might be irrelevant for arbitrary usecase Z
trinque: also, while turds, can be bought for cash in stores.
mircea_popescu: looky, the transport layer (ie, encrypted comms) and the radio layer are separable. similarily, the power and the comms layer. yes it'll still need to get power (somehow, which may be from ground), but the fact that it no longer depends on ground for its freq hopping is important on its own.
mircea_popescu: see ? it goes from ground tether to no tether.
asciilifeform: or is this a 'write only memory' genius invention.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform true freqhopping!
asciilifeform: anything that can receive serial @115200 baud, 8,N,1
mircea_popescu: these together mounted on say quadcopter suddenly are rather dangerous. for one thing, no way to intercept its comms anymore. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: incidentally, FG could plug directly into raspberry give it true rng, huh ?
trinque: tell people they're "Raspberry USB Heatsinks", sell loads
mircea_popescu: hopefully some bright russian entrepreneur finds a way to call them PIZDA
shinohai: I'll sell them as MIGs - Magical Integer Generators
mircea_popescu: imo this is great for buttcoin -- let people use that dun know what they're using. what's the empire excel at if noit this ?
trinque: you shall know them by their recognition of the sign.
mircea_popescu: only the wise will recognise.
trinque: has the bunghole stretch tho!
asciilifeform: fwiw it dun have the name printed on it. can resell as whatever you like, folx.
mircea_popescu: the discussion went something like : "i am affraid though the name may put people off, how fixated are you" "i don't specifically care" "oh here's this website i made" "dude, why the fuck are you making websites, go talk to people".
asciilifeform mentally classified the find with the ~last~ set of 'cardano betting site', etc
mircea_popescu: oh oh. no, no, he actually told me about this.
asciilifeform: google cache has http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:F7L1IaMZPeoJ:nsacardano.com/contact/+&cd=28&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us gold tho
asciilifeform: ( not of 'nsacardano', that genius is yet-unknown to us )
mircea_popescu: well, can't blame him, i expect bbc-whatever actually pays to have that shit looked at.
asciilifeform: ( i offered him a review unit, and pointer to come here )
mircea_popescu: is this the guy above ?
asciilifeform: re: last thread, http://wotpaste.cascadianhacker.com/pastes/zLzp6/?raw=true << got this in plaintext.
mircea_popescu: is maintenance mode a good thing ?
mircea_popescu: he's totally like a businessman and everything, if we run into each other at some party he's totally going to try and save one of my slavegirls.
mircea_popescu: i guess someone should send sam an offer to make two bitcents showing us his tits ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform put nothing, it came with raspbian, the ubuntu flavour of the thing.
mircea_popescu: holy shit, the midwest is a whole differtent game. what the fuck, nation of Fargo ?
mircea_popescu: "Testimonials. Mr. Barrow provided the Marine Executive Association with WordPress modules that surpassed our expectations. His support, expertise and timeliness in PHP and WordPress were well worth his fees. I'd recommend him without reservation! - Will Donalson, HCI"
asciilifeform: gotta love the by-now-regular 'low effort'(tm)(r) 'i'll take a raspi and put shitinux on it and...' folx
mircea_popescu: shit this has been entertaining. thank you asciilifeform for this satchel of c-gold.
mircea_popescu: "Freelance IT Work. I am open for freelance work. Note that I have a project minimum of $5,000 and a minimum monthly hosting and maintenance fee of $250. Anything less I can still help through one of my companies."
mircea_popescu: fancy that wonder, technical back-end for saas from the raspberri-pi-in-a-pizza-box experts.
mircea_popescu: also looking for, "partners for SaaS projects to provide insight and marketing efforts while we provide the technical backend"
mircea_popescu: o look, sam@sambarrow.com, shawn's boss, thinks they "have a position open at their local indianapolis branchg of midwestern technology"-- for a middle manager, no less. also thinks he's not in need of full time employment.
a111: Logged on 2017-04-21 17:14 mircea_popescu: just make a fucking isp, that's not run by a moron and consequently ahead of 90% of the pack.
mircea_popescu: this goes DIRECTLY into the http://btcbase.org/log/2017-04-21#1646882 ☝︎
jhvh1: mircea_popescu: Digiland tablet ( Cell Phones ) in San Jacinto, CA - OfferUp: <https://offerup.com/item/detail/217205700/>; nomx: The world's most secure communications protocol - Scott Helme: <https://scotthelme.co.uk/nomx-the-worlds-most-secure-communications-protocol/>; How-To: Root TIANSHI DIGI-LAND DL1010Q a1008l_v1.4 4.4.2: <https://www.oneclickroot.com/root/tianshi-digi-land-dl1010q-a1008l_v1-
mircea_popescu: lol undocumented admin account. this shit's pretty epic.
asciilifeform: sooo i wrote to him.
mircea_popescu: in order to... use it as ddns!
mircea_popescu: o further gems : function generate_setup_password_salt() { $salt = time() . '*' . $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] . '*' . mt_rand(0,60000); $salt = md5($salt); return $salt; :D
mircea_popescu: lol "super secure email of the future" runs not just dovecot, but also php and mysql for good measure.
mircea_popescu: "Because the device is just a Raspberry Pi under the hood that made taking a backup really easy. I simply popped out the Micro SD card and put it in my card reader and used Win32DiskImager to take a full clone of the card." in other lulz.
mircea_popescu: hey, he got mentioned in the most serene republic's forum, no backsies.
asciilifeform: fwiw i read him today for first time.
mircea_popescu: i figure we can afford a test unit for some dude you read.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform ask if he wants to check out the FUCKGOATS
asciilifeform: i'ma quite willing to try tho
asciilifeform: what to tell him ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform shoot the guy an email ?
asciilifeform: ^ fact. ( recall the original jwz thread ? )
asciilifeform: ced I thought I'd check to see if my IP had been flagged yet and to my surprise it had already been placed on 3 blacklists!'
asciilifeform: 'This is great news, I can't send emails from my new super awesome secure email server to anyone with a Microsoft email account because they just return it. The story is pretty similar across the board with the email either being returned or put straight in the spam folder of the recipient. I tried against GMail and a few other large providers and found that not one of them made it to the inbox anywhere. After I got a few emails boun
asciilifeform: he standard screws in the bottom to confirm my initial suspicion.'
asciilifeform: 'Now, as soon as I looked at this device I already had a really bad feeling. First of all, through the vent holes on the top I could see that the PCB inside took up ~25% of the footprint of the device, the case was considerably larger than the PCB inside it, which seemed odd. Second, the MAC address on the bottom looked familiar, really familiar. Putting that little thought to the back of my mind I cracked open the case by removing t
asciilifeform: ^ the tardano makers -- never sleep!111
mircea_popescu: "old woman" == "female sapiens expected to have found her master prior to the moment of speech".
mircea_popescu: it says something about the context in which the car finds itself ~whether it wants to or not~.
mircea_popescu: just like "expensive car" does not mean something about the car.
mircea_popescu: the "old" in "old woman" does not describe the physical woman in question. it describes her chances of successful interaction with the lordship.
asciilifeform: hard to say, too far departed from what i see as human form
mircea_popescu: would you describe them as "young women" ie "girls" ?
asciilifeform: these dun look old tho
mircea_popescu: notice similarity to famous prehistoric fat woman statuette ?
mircea_popescu had recently pic of african shaman fatties on the very trilema.
asciilifeform: dun prove anything, either way. if mircea_popescu tells me that they exist -- i'ma believe.
mircea_popescu: and since we're on this : egypt is, for the arab world, a sort of holywood/bolywood. it is where the official tv arabic is spoken on the street, and it is where every flea bitten hussy aims to go. fulla sudanese hotties just like burbank is fulla kansas ra ra fuck ma a'.
asciilifeform: i dunno that i've ever even seen, with own eyes, a ~fat~ old woman.
asciilifeform: ( the barnum circus co, incidentally, apparently is closing down for good, quite soon. )
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform but you need something to judge on. otherwise what you're saying is "on the basis of all the dogs i've seen, elephant is as canine as caniche", ie, http://trilema.com/2017/zuleika-dobson-or-an-proper-love-story/#footnote_10_71892
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: pretty sure that barnum had an ichthyosis sufferer in his lineup
asciilifeform: i haven't yet been to pripyat, either; or to fukushima; or to st. quentin prison; etc.
mircea_popescu: (harlequinism ie harlequin-type ichthyosis, a frightening disease of the body mirroring the sad state of anal child's mind)
asciilifeform: ( and become mircea_popescu proceeds to recall his egypt -- egypt is not anthropological africa... )
mircea_popescu: then on what scent did you train your heuristicdog!
asciilifeform: can't say that i have, or desperately burning with urgency to.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you ever been to africa ?
mircea_popescu: always have. that's the backbone of africa, culturally.
asciilifeform: even lowliest 'redditor' looks down at what he thinks are the yet-scummier redditus.
a111: Logged on 2017-04-27 15:42 mircea_popescu: and to not put to fine a point on it : white culture ~WHICH MEANS~ human culture entirely rests on the notion that some are inferior. things, people, ideas, methods, etcetera. this is the underpinning of "european heritage" or whatever you wish to call it : the notion of inferioritate altrui.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-04-27#1648477 << i dun think this 'equality' nonsense exists, or ever existed, as anything other than a ~professed~ belief among the rotters. nobody actually buys it. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform which is why the difference between physicist and physiciatrian is currently made by ~how~ they introduce the models.
asciilifeform: the basic sin of the orc and 'human' jujuist are the same. just as, e.g., murder committed with a wooden club is exactly as murderous as with death ray; or scam pulled with 'shell game' is just as scammy as with derivatives.
asciilifeform: granted asciilifeform is not a pro voodoo priest, but imho, e.g., black–scholes, or the 'standard model' of physics, are equally 'juju', and equally divorced from physical reality, and far more destructively so than some orc derp praying to a moloch made from old tin cans in some mournful shithole

mircea_popescu: ie, the "results-oriented culture" applies strictly to a subset of possible things. you'll compare two doctors on the basis of whether their techniques work, but a shaman is not included nor can be included in the proceedings.
mircea_popescu: i don't so much care whether the goldman sachs attempt worked or didn't work. i very much care that juju worship be socially unacceptable.
mircea_popescu: anyway, re the earlier point - there's a very strong line dividing the case where "your idea will never work, but you can have an A anyway" because obviously you can't write a functional description of business but nevertheless that should not stop you from trying ; and "your idea if you can call it that means you can never get anything other than an F no matter what you do", because apparently you separated from human cultur
