mircea_popescu: more like a dildo factory, but hey.
mircea_popescu: it's a sickening display i tell you that.
asciilifeform: the 'randomize order in a deterministic way' thing
mircea_popescu: it's nothing but add a week of this, substract 51 minutes of that, madness.
asciilifeform: most of the planet, i suspect, has never seen a 'legit' winblows
nubbins`: <+asciilifeform> does anyone give a rat's arse about builds other than 'unix' ? <<< makefile.osx is a steaming shit heap in 0.5.3 anyway. i'll offer a working one in the future if there's demand
bounce: though if you're going to toss qt then perhaps there's a case to drop the whole windows thing
bounce: the windows build is a mingw build, no? kinda useful to be able to build that from linux
mircea_popescu: certainly not outside the capabilities of the us, and a fine reason why stock bitcoin is not safe anyway.
mircea_popescu: incidentally, the node discovery mechanism is a fucking hole of the first degree. all an attacker really needs to do is take control of the "last resort" ips and then supress "normal" peer discovery.
asciilifeform: does anyone give a rat's arse about builds other than 'unix' ?
mircea_popescu: such a fucking kludge that.
asciilifeform assumes everyone here has a copy of the src
mircea_popescu: course at some point it had a bug where it kept a hash of the signature and so you could change the message around if you had an older key.
midnightmagic: hrm. there might be a k-of-n threshold split key now, it would make sense.
bounce: you need a keykeeper? what's the key do?
Apocalyptic: there is thermos and a third fellow i forgot
mircea_popescu: that emergency messaging thing was more of a "let's bake a p2p messaging app into the core because you don't know what will happen and it may be needed."
mircea_popescu: a lot of questions i can answer atm i couldn't even properly form in 2011, and im sure im not the only one.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform a lot of this stuff is you know, "just in case"isms driven by the fact that a few years ago bitcoin was entirely a novel concept.
mircea_popescu: not particularly useful. i can live with my current key being used but would rather not and am definitely not making a different one.
no_imagination: mircea_popescu: read some of your stuff. is it fair to say you value BTC as a store of value and the rest is secondary?
asciilifeform: alternative can only be if someone (mircea_popescu ?) is willing to sit on a new key!
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform "i choked on a particularly rapid tachyon" should be standard blonde answer.
mircea_popescu: tl;dr : nothing "quantum" can ever affect a macro object. by definition.
joecool: oh book on mobsters, i haven't managed to find a copy of the book that came out a couple years ago about samsung
asciilifeform: anyone have a preference for which 'libboost' is to be used?
asciilifeform: as a routine matter.
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu:meyer lanski famously told some older street thoughs, as a 12 yo, "you get nuttin' for nuttin'". that's all it is. at 12 he's as rich as me telling the sec how to behave. << beauty.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: iBola isn't a thing yet. Maybe next month?
BingoBoingo: Only missing A, I and Y
asciilifeform: though i'm told that once in a while, when the planets align, an actual product is made on 'kickstarter'
artifexd: I haven't settled on a distro yet though.
artifexd: I don't see a -C option
BingoBoingo: <artifexd> kakobrekla: If you find a way to get the mbp to not sound like it's overheating while using a non-mac os, I'd love to hear about it. << apmd -C
artifexd: I thought I just read that you got a mbp...
pete_dushenski: jurov lol tis a theory.
artifexd: kakobrekla: If you find a way to get the mbp to not sound like it's overheating while using a non-mac os, I'd love to hear about it.
jurov: rly? masculinity as a measurable natural resource?
assbot: The Trade-Offs of Feminism | Contravex: A blog by Pete Dushenski
asciilifeform just got back from fruit&veggie market, got a number of possible things to choke on, that were still in season
BingoBoingo: Skipped those after first one broke in hours. The tiny trackpad used as a micro trackball was very functional though
asciilifeform does not own one, but recalls seeing photos, there's a normal 'blackberry' and an nsa board sandwiched under the battery
assbot: Mobile Security Blog: Why Samsung Knox isn't really a Fort Knox
dignork: BingoBoingo: RE: USB turd - it was pbbly a joke, Russ Dill works for Texas Instruments

mircea_popescu: xinxi: one of them used to say: I would like to cry in a bmw instead of lauching on a bike. <<< that's a whole new dimension to the entire "fuck you rich" discussion.

mircea_popescu: undata we had limmerick day a few months ago too.
ben_vulpes: <nubbins`> wow, building bitcoin on osx is actually a bit tangly << i for one gave up
mthreat: a dictator
mthreat: What do you get when you cross a potato with a dildo?
mircea_popescu: multivac'd have been a great vacuum cleanner brand
kakobrekla: a vegetable. instead of fruit.
asciilifeform: a Multivac.
nubbins`: kakobrekla what, a dell?
kakobrekla: nubbins` get a 'real' computer.
mircea_popescu: so it turns out atheism is a non-prophet organisation.
gribble: Error: "ficker" is not a valid command.

asciilifeform: a few vendors (samsung, and others) make the reverse of this - 'arm' laptop.
mircea_popescu: so it's not basically a laptop board with a soldered over bios chip ?
asciilifeform: if as a 'touch' gizmo - check first.
asciilifeform: if for perverse file server in a closet - yes, can do right now.
joecool: just took delivery of a mbp and am attempting to resize it's cancer of an os to put anything on
asciilifeform: esp. if you behead it and use a terminal.
asciilifeform: kakobrekla: you can almost pretend it's a 'sun' or other weird ancient unixlike
mircea_popescu: i wonder what a windows tablet would be like.
asciilifeform: ^ the busy signal in a u.s. pay phone (if you can still find one!) -- costs 0.50, and you'll find a 'nickel' in the coin return tray.
asciilifeform: nubbins` confronted with fact of having bought a fake unix box?
nubbins`: wow, building bitcoin on osx is actually a bit tangly
asciilifeform: miners << is there any actual reason why an arbitrarily large miner should not choose to appear as a large number of arbitrarily small ones, from the network standpoint ?
mats_cd03: i thought it was a peach?
mats_cd03: i will use that .2 btc to buy a ranch and a new stereo
mircea_popescu: not that safe to be a miner out there.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform as much as a new news site brings about ddos.
asciilifeform: not a single mainstream mineatron, afaik, does anything useful against even a very pedestrian ssl mitm.
mats_cd03: http://cryptome.org/2014/10/bitcoin-tor-nope.pdf << heh heh. i once ran an exit node off AWS for a week, scooped 0.2 btc from a shmuck
asciilifeform forgot what a sack of shit classic bitcoind is, in terms of build deps
midnightmagic: I just don't trust the coin control nor tx selection to pull the most-private from the unspent list is all. It is a bit more work to make decisions about it though
midnightmagic: mm.. dunno when they were introduced. it's been a while.
mircea_popescu: no he has a point, you can just make your own tx and forget the stock selection code
midnightmagic: pretty easy to use them. I have a very tiny perl script that does the same thing..
asciilifeform: 'A visitor received this implanted, false message today, promoting the market of certificates of authority and encryption. HTTPS fetishists are trying to coerce us into using the crappy security gambit. Ignore HTTPS monotheists. Online security promises are hokum. This is admitted on sec discussion fora. Pushers of HTTPS, Tor, crypto, secure drops are David Blaines.' (cryptome.)
mircea_popescu: but hey, what's a little lying hurt anymore.
jurov: http://sourceforge.net/projects/bitcoin/files/Obsolete/ huh what a scary message
jurov: i arrived in 2012 and lost a hdd since :/
mircea_popescu: oh. i'll have to go through archives. be a while.
asciilifeform: who has a known vintage tarball of 0.5.3 ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the whole thing was a debate over whether it should be earliest or latest that still works. apparently earliest won
nubbins`: and use that as a starting point
nubbins`: asciilifeform will likely take a couple days
asciilifeform: banks 24/7 << story. where i live, you can walk into the vestibule of a bank (where the atm often lives, on 'bad streets') using a magnetic card. implication is that it must be the bank's - but this is false.
asciilifeform: the kind that walked in the same suit for a decade - less plausible
mircea_popescu: 1 a year ? 100 ? 10000 ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i think that cost may be more than a few hundies a year.
asciilifeform: for a human vegetable, who only needs to afford a hovel to eat, shit, and fuck in, and a tv screen - different cost.
asciilifeform: 'once there was The People, terror gave it birth... once there was The People, and it made a Hell of Earth...' (kipling?)
