a111: Logged on 2016-12-07 15:31 asciilifeform: man in a nuthouse. he cowers in the corner, won't let anyone come near, in very odd pose. finally the d00dz in white coats come. they ask:
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: sane folx using pm, treat it as a variant of pastebin. but apparently 'the squirrels don't know that' ( http://btcbase.org/log/2016-12-07#1579086 ) ☝︎
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform sure. besides, i don't even fucking use pms, and the c
mircea_popescu: anyway, the lulz where in same amsterdam dc box #i of 1..n suddenly "is laggy" while the rest are not, only for box j to be laggy two days after switch (ie the next tues)
asciilifeform: it is the reasonable thing to presuppose, re a public turd of heathen provenance.
deedbot: http://qntra.net/2017/02/socialist-seek-to-replace-socialist-zuckerberg-on-facebook-board-for-insufficient-socialism/ << Qntra - Socialist Seek To Replace Socialist Zuckerberg On Facebook Board For Insufficient Socialism ☟︎
asciilifeform: i can hardly picture a fleanode that ~didn't~ log chans and pms from day 1 !
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i imagine they think themselves advanced for being able to log chans and steal pms.
asciilifeform: (what's the attack mode of a fleanode box, at any rate, while we're on the subj..? selectively vanishes messages ? inserts crapola ? as i see it, this will show up in the logtrons. and even if not, we have ways of reaching one another and pointing out the fact)
mircea_popescu: i don't use their dns. ☟︎
shinohai: I had to manually put connection ip's into jhvh1 .... for some reason it drops connection trying to resolve names
mircea_popescu: in general empire is inept, the worst thing you can do for them is use their own older shit.
asciilifeform: as if one were any more or less infested than another.
mircea_popescu: i kinda dun feel like connecting to their new nsa servers (no, mp doesn't buy the "user provided" angle, seeing how they wouldn't take HIS)
mircea_popescu: o look at that, "it's laggy".
asciilifeform: (for some reason unknown to me, the satellite folx have a separate one)
asciilifeform: nah that was usg's 'geospatial intelligence' ministry.
hanbot: i thought it was "nothing is beyond our reach" or what's that idiocy with the octopus
asciilifeform: hanbot: cheap for the fella behind the trigger.
hanbot: <asciilifeform> it may even be that ~most~ rsa keys, such as presently exist, are cheaply breakable. << i'd've thought accessibility only via some other means precluded cheapness. but anyway, interestingk.
asciilifeform: ('slave clock' in turn is an illustration of specificity-of-diddling. say you do not want to run the thing at the default clock, because you suspect that enemy rented the flat below yours and is microwaving your box, not only penetrating the shields but boiling your tea for you, etc. and you want to run at a different, unknown to him, frequency. well -- you can.)
asciilifeform: (you can put it in slave clock mode, but only by connecting physical wires in the very specific way described in the docs, and never 'from software')
asciilifeform: this is why i did not make FUCKGOATS a usb device in the usual sense. and did not give it any 'test mode command' or in fact any way to manipulate its state from the connected comp at all.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: if i go and dd if=/dev/whatever1234 of=foo.bin bs=512 count=1 , there is no mechanical way to say, am i generating a 4096-bit whatever key ? or reading voltages from my air conditioner ? or whichever.
BingoBoingo: In other news, the best part of starting Brussel sprouts from seed is culling the delicious seedlings.
asciilifeform: and other proggies running on the box have 0 business knowing which serial ttys are rngs, which are terminals, and which -- nukes ☟︎
asciilifeform: mix at the point of use.
asciilifeform: and not only in the sense of 'having 1 rng on the physical iron is braindamaged' but doing the mixing in a centralized place, known in advance to the enemy, is likewise idiotic
asciilifeform: while we're on the subj, i will say that reading from just ~one~ centralized rng, is braindamaged;
asciilifeform: grab the canonical source (deedbotted by mircea_popescu) and see for yourself.
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: can ssl or gpg be beaten into eating a specific file of entropy without patching them?
ben_vulpes: no, i goofed. left a link to someone else's css.
asciilifeform: it seems like a first-class wtf to me, supposing that ben_vulpes did not have it ~anywhere~ in his stack at any point
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: didja ever learn how the hell shitflare got between you and anybody at all ?
asciilifeform: it may even be that ~most~ rsa keys, such as presently exist, are cheaply breakable.
asciilifeform: (elementary application of 'birthday theorem')
asciilifeform: hanbot: conceivably, a sabotaged generator that yields 2**32 possible keys, will result in ~0 natural collisions, and remain invisible to phuctor unless i first find it via some other means. ☟︎
jhvh1: shinohai: The operation succeeded.
shinohai: !~later tell BingoBoingo http://wotpaste.cascadianhacker.com/pastes/Pc0Ty/?raw=true
asciilifeform: (because there were 32768 possible primes of every particular size, which makes for very few natural collisions.)
a111: Logged on 2017-02-07 00:58 mircea_popescu: http://wotpaste.cascadianhacker.com/pastes/Irz1K/?raw=true << that's how a call to you looks.
asciilifeform: consider a very simple example, the debian keys. prior to when i added their factors to the 8ball by hand, only a handful of them popped.
asciilifeform: hanbot: there are possible broad classes of diddled rng that will result in trivially breakable keys, but not phuctorable in the usual sense (without my knowing the trick)
a111: Logged on 2017-02-03 17:21 asciilifeform: the one 'quantum comp' that is a reasonable possibility is the perpetuum mobile sort. where, e.g., a class of weak (i.e. cheaply breakable from birth, or from a few published signatures) rsa keys is discovered in the dungeons, and dressed up into a 'we haz magical rsa breaker box, go switch to $shitcrypto'
a111: Logged on 2016-11-14 21:44 asciilifeform: 'Lol this is easily the best "unhappen" yet. So as the story goes, a secret key that exists and is regularily updated since 2006 suddenly — but deliberately! — gets a shared factor in 2016, as part of a didactic exercise which consists of doing euclids and other calisthenics. As a sub-plot thickener, it is for the first time announced that it takes 11*10/2 operations to obtain a 600+ digit prime factor in Berlin, which is somewha
mircea_popescu originally said aha to "fuck off to bahamas party", but really, whole thing.
BingoBoingo: Bush I tossed coin in "Football Great Again!!!" game Sunday. "tossed" is exaggeration, but...
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: AHA, the George HW Bush Story repeated!!!
asciilifeform: mccain is almost a human embodiment of usa per se. destroyed several jets through, legend has it, militant incompetence with ~own hands~, and by some accounts - entire battleship. result: promotion. (father was an admiral)
BingoBoingo: Anyways in 2018 Trump gets the Senate and McCain can fuck off to Bahamas party
mircea_popescu: and no, trump should never have endorsed the mccain imbecile.
mircea_popescu: short and exactly to the point.

mircea_popescu: do they actually hatch this idiocy or how does it come about
mircea_popescu: ahahaha future is female get the fuck out of here. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: iron throne
asciilifeform: stack trace plox, i lost the frame, which was putin
mircea_popescu: and no, that's a young trump with i don't recall what slut.
mircea_popescu: and yes they didn't change him
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform no, that's putin.
asciilifeform: woah -- first swallows of the dewinblowzification spring..?
shinohai: http://archive.is/PiNTr <<< lol I actually have an old fax machine somewhere, but prolly not worth effort just to troll the feebs
phf: y'all wanna buy some superior computing environment? i got here some good shit, my man. i just need like $10 for the bus, and then i have a guy, he's going to drop it off for me, c'mon man
phf: it's no problem, i have a plan, i'm going to sell all my computing hardware and from then on do all my work from an ipad
asciilifeform: phf: imho it is of purely historical interest -- just like the other smbx material
phf: it looks like the codebase is entirely licensed from symbolics, and there are leftover, possibly operational bits, that talked directly to x11 (with "genera" and "(c) symbolics" all over it), at some point allegro added a subtrate layer, that they called silica, which at the moment can do a motif or a windows nt backends.
phf: unrelatedly i got allegro's CLIM2 running (on an allegro). it's significantly faster than mcclim, mostly because it uses a MOTIF subtrate, which also means that it's even ugglier, and also otherwise prehistoric
asciilifeform: not much info about most of these, typically 1-2 d00dz involved in making, and a few hundred -- sold.
asciilifeform: eh it looks quite like the others
shinohai: I've seen other clones, this one looks so ..... industrial
asciilifeform: shinohai: there literally a thousand types of this, in late '80s-early '90s
shinohai: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/C4ETpGrWMAAubHw.jpg <<< heh this is an interesting ZX clone, never seen one like it.
asciilifeform: in other lulz, clitler is bak! : '“Despite all the challenges we face, I remain convinced that YES, the future is female,” Clinton said in a videotaped message to the 2017 Makers Conference in California. Makers is a storytelling platform for raising issues impacting women.'
a111: Logged on 2017-02-07 13:20 mircea_popescu: oh man, the fucking 70s... https://pbs.twimg.com/media/C4BZnwTWIAAH26J.jpg
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-02-07#1612085 << is that the shot-self-in-eye d00d again? his expression! he looks as if he ~knew~... ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2017-02-07 12:54 mircea_popescu: incidentally, anyone actually looked into the "so called judge", james robart ? turns out he's a proper judge as opposed to the glorified court clerks the us has been replacing the judgeship with ; pretty famous in seattle for tearing down seattle's ban on strip clubs.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-02-07#1612084 << mircea_popescu is mistaken in the belief that usa has a seekrit inner core of 'sane judges'. there is no such thing as a sane judge in a reich. any more than you can have a 'sane' rubyonlgbtpqrs programmer. ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2017-02-07 12:37 mircea_popescu: meanwhile at the epicenter of hot blondies, http://s3.reutersmedia.net/resources/r/?m=02&d=20170206&t=2&i=1171630335
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-02-07#1612083 << witness, absolutely as if clitler were on the iron throne ☝︎
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes turns out danielpbarron is working the daylights out of mz lustt eh ? :D
mircea_popescu: it'll be a degree of magnitude cheaper to get same fellow to sucker punch someone.
mircea_popescu: try this experiment, see what it'd take to entice male randomly chosen to grab woman. even if from behind.
phf: so even the "nodic" allies are not buying the narrative
phf: amusingly enough, the consensus among local nordics (swedes, norgewians and danes so far) is that "pussy grabbing" is just an obvious, if an extreme reaction to the american political correctness insanity
mircea_popescu: (pro tip : if your girl's comfortable taking shoes to bed, i've probably seen her naked before you have.)

mircea_popescu: o wow check this out, they even got the ayatollah out of the mothball closet!
mircea_popescu: putin influenced teh grab.
phf: once they figured "grabbing pussy" doesn't work, they reluctantly switched to this whole "journalistic work" thing. what the hell yo gotta try everything once you know?
mircea_popescu: check it out, the fucktards suddenly discovered htis exists.
mircea_popescu: "Examples of existing business arrangements that constitute violations of the foreign-emoluments clause include: China’s state-owned Industrial and Commercial Bank of China is the largest tenant in Trump Tower, and the state-owned Bank of China is a major lender to Trump." ☟︎
mircea_popescu: course who the fuck would pay money for that spamsite...
mircea_popescu: o speaking of which, " Somebody with aptitude and conviction should buy the FAKE NEWS and failing @nytimes and either run it correctly or let it fold with dignity! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 29, 2017"
mircea_popescu: back in the days when nyt still mattered in any sense, long long ago in a land far far away.
BingoBoingo: Part of the grease that used to let two party system work
BingoBoingo: * mircea_popescu also likes how the "black lives matter" court clerk is "a federal judge appointed by g w bush" depending where one looks. << Tradition is for the lower bowels of the court Pres takes Senator's suggestion in return for favors later
