mircea_popescu: r0nin- if you don'
t answer the questions you'll end up silenced.
mircea_popescu: this is generally the problem statists encounter : since their operative definition of government is ideal ("that thing we made") as opposed to real ("that thing which exists") they have trouble understanding how bitcoin can destroy governments while governments can'
t regulate bitcoin.
mircea_popescu: this is nonsense argument, and in fact they could "afford" both but they don'
t fucking use both. they use the correctly sized one based on human thickness and wetware bullet refraction properties.
mircea_popescu: the way this conversation is going, we can'
t have children us two until we get the baby room properly furnished and the safest crypto op is one that never finishes.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: in any case, entirely incomparable items. yes, people do dumb shit all the time. but this doesn'
t mean people doing the right thing should do it once and wear a vest "to make sure".
mircea_popescu: the "two digit year" thing is incomparable to the 4096 bit thing, because the 4096 bit thing is backed by "the whole universe, if it set to computing, still wouldn'
t EVER get even close to breaking a key".
mircea_popescu: ie, currently they don'
t exist. later on, they will. later still, they'll break. laterer yet they'll be replaced.
mircea_popescu: now, the above is an opinion you or anyone is welcome to hold, like any other opinion. i however don'
t hold it.
mircea_popescu: if you can'
t afford the house, you can even less afford the mortgage.
mircea_popescu: understand asciilifeform : if you can'
t afford to buy a house in cash, this means YOU CAN'
T AFFORD THE HOUSE. period. go sleep under the fucking bridge. and no, the fact that you ~could~ get a mortgage pay monthly DOES NOT!!!! make it now possible.
mircea_popescu: if THAT isn'
t practical, then sure as fuck larger keys aren'
t practical.
mircea_popescu: very possible, just don'
t throw away your old car batteries.
mircea_popescu: so it being the fundamental reasoning, it's ok to have it explicit, but implicit or explicit it ain'
t gonna budge.
mircea_popescu: if you leak bits fix the leak don'
t make the pipe thicker eh.
mircea_popescu: valica make yourself a pgp key if you don'
t have one an' register it with deedbot so i don'
t have to keep voicing oyu
mircea_popescu: problem is large section of pop doesn'
t know, i guess.
mircea_popescu: "you wouldn'
t download a car ?" "why not ?!?!" "because nobody made one" "oh... i guess gotta wait then."
mircea_popescu: it's mindboggling, you know ? "run openssl" "and if i don'
t have it ?" "download it then!" "And if i'm on a deserted island ?" "well then you can'
t crypto!" "sa moara ma-ta ?"
mircea_popescu: i suppose the item rolls back to "i wouldn'
t teach crypto, i'd have to fix undergrad first, get some kids who can do a fucking lim"
a111: Logged on 2017-08-16 07:49 mircea_popescu: advertising "hitler is bad" can'
t be anything more or anything besides a global "hitler is important".
BingoBoingo: Pointedly NOT great, but... can'
t extinguish all the refus
mircea_popescu: teh original nazis were all about will-to-live and so on. usians want to eat, and to not hurt. there's snails with stronger libidos, and a people happy to build mcmansions privately and the brutalist abominations publicly can'
t possibly have any serious investment in ontology.
mircea_popescu: the problem is that there doesn'
t seem any genuine desire to exist.
BingoBoingo: Eh, it doesn'
t really have the "Identity Politics" click with rural palefaces that "ThugLyfe" has for the other side.
mircea_popescu: advertising "hitler is bad" can'
t be anything more or anything besides a global "hitler is important".
☟︎ mircea_popescu: this is the problem with advertising, it doesn'
t matter what you say at all, just that you say it lots.
mircea_popescu: so no, the need to beat, kill, maim, rape, the NEED to violence ain'
t going fucking away just because naggum gave himself hypermetropia.
mircea_popescu: and all this "learning" bullshit. you can spend the rest of your life at the new york public library, you'll never manage to "learn" yourself into this position whereby sticking your cock into whatever woman you choose won'
t produce a random kid come out nine months later.
mircea_popescu: the "evils of the past" are by turns the scalpel, the chisel, the enema bag... the patient doesn'
t need the scalpel yet so it's evil of the past. then later needs it, no longer needs the enema, now THAT is evil of the past. on it goes.
BingoBoingo: !~later tell cazalla tyvm, but stahp trying to do the email thing. Textpast and !~later tell like a normal person. Email doesn'
t work better than 60% reliable anymore.
mod6: yeah. it doesn'
t work with gcc5. this looks like the ncurses bug.
phf: mod6: it's your own makefile, it does readlink for that path. you can'
t not have it in yoru build
mod6: if this doesn'
t work, i'll just help you step-by-step myself. no worries.
mod6: for the record, i don'
t have that in my builds either, ignore that mike_c
☟︎ mike_c: i don'
t want it to jinx it. not done yet. but it seems to be working much better.
phf: but i don'
t think that's the one he's using, if he's building with rotor.. that whole new build infrastructure seems to exist apart.
mod6: if he follows the directions exactly, shouldn'
t be an issue.
phf: there's also the mod6 method that builds the whole thing for you, but i haven'
t tried that since before i wrote own v presser..
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> somebodyhood is overrated eh ? << Hey, people are selling "DON'
T BE SOMEBODY!!!" now <mircea_popescu> somebodyhood is overrated eh ?
mircea_popescu: so unless you're willing to do ALL the alternatives every time, you won'
t have "true" constantttime.
mircea_popescu: to be sure, i don'
t think you're making a weak case. im leaving the matter open, at least for a while, can you live with that ?
mircea_popescu: i don'
t carry around all my rifles all the time, to take a leak, etc. i can'
t.
a111: Logged on 2017-04-09 14:45 mircea_popescu: asciilifeform incidentally, the more i think about it the more i'm convinced the ONLY "fingerprint" for rsa key may be... the modulus. 4096 bits and fuck you, if you can'
t take 32 chars you don'
t belong here.
mircea_popescu: maybe try strapping that thing off sometime. im startying to suspect "gas canister" doesn'
t say what you thought it said!
a111: Logged on 2017-08-15 18:45 asciilifeform: lobbes: it isn'
t that this doesn'
t work, but that the effort needed to verify that you didn'
t somehow miss one , is substantial
mircea_popescu: so it turns out, i never heard of gut tb because you generally need aids to get it. and back when i was reading they didn'
t have aids just yet.
mircea_popescu: because i don'
t. it's eaten >9k fathoms of cable and we plumbed no bottom yet.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i don'
t care about the fucking shrems involved. we know they're smegma.
mircea_popescu: and the fucking littoral compressed lulzship doesn'
t require wheels.

t know how to run a node ? after all this fucking time ?
