mircea_popescu: he has a point tho. anyone feel like writing up a documentation page for trinque to stick up there ?

mircea_popescu: what, that blowfish or whatever dies before 4096 rsa ?
mircea_popescu: fore the other, at that level it would doubtlessly be cheaper to crack the symmetric cypher involved
mircea_popescu: there is no serious benefit offered by a key larger than 4096. for one thing, we don't currently have any reason to believe even 2k keys can actually be factored.
mircea_popescu: you could not use gcd for this, however, as gcd is an algorithm to find shared factors, not simply factors. you'd have to have something to compare against.
mircea_popescu: but nothing keeps you from simplytrying to factor your own modulus on your own machine
mircea_popescu: well, again, gpg has a probabilistic test for primality baked in.
mircea_popescu: you could run a probabilistic test on your own machine for your own modulus. if you have a good rng this usually woirks,
mircea_popescu: a) if you're looking for binaries it's unlikely your key is your weak point ; b) gcd is an algorithm, i guess you could call it a function. "greatest common divisor" ; c) P is at the core of this, as it looks for MUTUAL divisors
mircea_popescu: well, an implementation of gcd is what you need, and the P
mircea_popescu: it's been too loaded for months as it cuts through millions of 'em
mircea_popescu: it's most likely failure due to the fact that the apache bit is last in line at the cpu through
mircea_popescu: fromphuctor well atm it's working through a lengthy list of keys already extant on the sks servers.
mircea_popescu: cazalla yes, very amusing how the stupid brain doesn't merely fail to work, but manages to work contrary t osense. you'd think this has to be engineered, but apparently iot comes naturally
mircea_popescu: "Our Solutions Leadership About Us Careers News Contact" who the fuck thought this is how you do it ? it's almost like the soviet butcher, "we're the advertising shop, we don't have publishers. fish is what they don't have in the shop down the street"
☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: jesus fuck the world's coming to an end over here. nobody seems to be doing any work anymore.
mircea_popescu: the funny thing to me is that the general internet population assumes nationality = residence.
mircea_popescu: how about that. find someone who can buy btc with paypal eh.
mircea_popescu: cazalla you know i had an account for a decade +, which ~I~ closed ?
mircea_popescu: they keep changing names every thirty weeks too, like any internet scammer.
mircea_popescu: button, "advertisers" spawns " Overview Audiences Engagement Performance"
mircea_popescu: why the fuck would i care to deal with such idiots ? if they had the golden goose, why would i ? they don';t know enough about selling to sell me on their own fucking salesmanship already
mircea_popescu: let aloine the "do you motherfuckers take bitcoin" point, no specs are offered whatsoever. i can't see what fucking sites they run
mircea_popescu: anbd in today's installment we find that online ad networks are positively fucking insane. the kabuki seems to be, "we serve up some html heavy pages of random nouns and you sign up".
mircea_popescu: wut, bushwhacker humour not appreciated in the west end ?! WHO KNEW!!!
mircea_popescu: decimation anyway, why the driver indictment ? seems he wasn't allowed to back out
mircea_popescu: i just don't recall ever seeing this, white on a strawberry, as a kid. that's more of a framboise thing
mircea_popescu: punkman i can readily see asciilifeform argue that moreover joe stack was part of an obscure bezzlatron to provide office refurbishment at a profit. why not rite.
mircea_popescu: crunchy and everything. oh, the strawberries of mine youth...
mircea_popescu: in other news, i'm having the world's worst strawberries. they are the size of plums, quite red except the part under the leaf is plain white... what the fuck is with this world.
mircea_popescu: alf can't commit. "well, depends. in this circumstance, it is, in that it isn't, whadda ya want from me! peter pan over here, always young an' happy!"
mircea_popescu: you really gotta pick some sort of an orthodoxy, you're making my head spin. which is it
mircea_popescu: and if i recall you protested that joe stack did not do any damage at all, let alone disproportionate
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the point of the pressure is not the damage. merely, civilians that dun like da police.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform my words were "the very real pressure of a million tiny joe stacks"
mircea_popescu: under the very real pressure of a million tiny joe stacks
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform and they'll be 60% privateer on a tripled budget and it still won't be enough
mircea_popescu is kinda curious how budget for next year looks, on that score. does "law enforcement" get triple budget and everything else trims or not.
