mircea_popescu: much more interesting would be an assay of the various windows and perhaps mac implementations
mircea_popescu: Hasimir minus the fact that it imports unsigned keys (badly signed it rejects, but unsigned at all seem an exception ?), gpg generally doesn't import the diddled exponent keys yeah
mircea_popescu: all the way up to an afore-unknown property of the mathematical structures involved.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform we were idly discussing the "what could have causes weak keys", i pointed out that so far it could be a lotta things
mircea_popescu: what you mean by deep in gpg py bowels ? is it exploitable even ?
mircea_popescu: "I walked out of the back office in a state of absolute shock. I’d just become a twenty–first century sharecropper. I couldn’t find outside work without winding up homeless — and I couldn’t leave the state because three bucks of gas money won’t get you past Walnut Creek — and I couldn’t get paid because there was no money to pay anyone with."
mircea_popescu: so your deedbot is going to break over someone citing a nick ?
mircea_popescu: decimation i dunno anyone gave a shit, just, whatever freenode takes.
mircea_popescu: (pretty much exactly same story, separated by two decades and a gender gap_
mircea_popescu: decimation we're not enforcing that policy re irc handles tho
mircea_popescu: they should be thankful the names don't get translated!
mircea_popescu: somehow the obvious "Don't do drm, you'll be involved with the sort of people who do drm" doesn't occur to his mind.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: o check me out, i have the day's first line in log. yay.
mircea_popescu: if you must include blobs, include them apart from whatever it is you're deed-ing
mircea_popescu: Hasimir: cool, will do << for the record, this non-readable dump of text stuff is annoying.
mircea_popescu: jurov: heh seems there will be leaks.b-a.link soon << nb, nb
mircea_popescu: they don't even know whom to jail for the most recent leak on trilema.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: and the line a lot more visible in topics you care about enough to study in detail..
mircea_popescu: decimation moreover, you can just pgp me the code and i'll publish it.
mircea_popescu: <Hasimir> ah, but I'm not against guns, just against them being the prime motivator for whatever << not the point. earlier when guns were being discussed you said " I've never seen any religion avoid going to a bad place", which yes is a valid point. but when it comes to something you actually know/care about, suddenly it';s not nearly as appealing, as good a point as it may be.
mircea_popescu: apparently everyone holds the same beliefs when it comes to things they care about, and the other set for everything else.
mircea_popescu: Hasimir you see how your position here contradicts your earlier stated position re guns ? :)
mircea_popescu: decimation foss is fundamentally immune to this bs, and who uses ms hypervisor
mircea_popescu: eh, who cares about the us anymore, not like they have the edge in crypto
mircea_popescu: decimation yes. and notice 641 was a factor in the modulus i quoited above
mircea_popescu: Hasimir he doesn't mean [i take it] that someone was doing research which involved these keys. he was responding to me saying that for all we know, this is a property OF NUMBERS somehow
☟︎ mircea_popescu: Hasimir bitrot = "changes in data due to the substrate rather than activity"
mircea_popescu: for all we know this is a not yet documented numeric field breakthrough
mircea_popescu: so far the only seriously excluded hypothesis is "bit rot".
mircea_popescu: which is why running the whole shebang is important - we need more members to attempt a classification
mircea_popescu: there seem to be 2-3 different categories but they can be reconstructed in multiple approaches with different elements.
mircea_popescu: moreover, it's not even terribly clear HOW to correctly classify these keys.
mircea_popescu: indeed, for all we know these keys were used in some sort of process, and a few accidentally leaked.
mircea_popescu: that's one theory (published as such in an article iirc). another theory hanbot came up with earlier in log, and i've been thinking about.
mircea_popescu: cazalla> i'd much rather put 2 in their chest and compost em << why ? you're supposed to shoot out the knees/shoulders, and why wouldn't you ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform /me knows but what shall i say of it anymore, it's an opaque topic on the basis of erryday experience.
mircea_popescu: so the "nuts with guns" angle does have some merit to it fo sho.
mircea_popescu: and everyone that does eventually settles for equipment much exactly opposite of what the arms fans favour.
mircea_popescu: trinque mind, i have lived like that, and for extended periods. contrary to what the outsiders think, nobody inside is really all that keen about having to drag the damned things around everywhere.
mircea_popescu: you know, just because there isn't a better solution of the same strength doesn't mean it's terribru good.
mircea_popescu: being armed is like carrying a large 1980s laptop everywhere that can't be turned on
