asciilifeform: ';Urko is a dog. Urko is one of my best friends. Urko is a fantastic dog becoz sometimes..... Urko SPEAKS! Urko is very timid and only speaks to me...and not always...urko only speaks when both,urko and me,we start to smoke that rare cigarretes that urko has. Then urko start to speak a lot of :) and we stay all night speaking,smoking and seeing films orplaying trivial pursuit,or coding,or doing a lot of things :)'

asciilifeform: bleichenbacher's oracle, in particular

asciilifeform: ty

asciilifeform: artifexd found it.

asciilifeform: i definitely remember that this existed.

asciilifeform: hm

asciilifeform: damn, thought it might have been in that thread

asciilifeform: !s pollard rho

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: can remember more specific ?

asciilifeform: (term of art 'covert channel')

asciilifeform: artifexd: the most basic 'kleptography' takes the form of slipping bits of key into variables which are normally random. but there are more subtle channels.

asciilifeform: artifexd: well-thumbed copy of this right here on my desk. beautiful book, if you skip all the parts that must have been thrown in to give it a sensational/saleable 'seekoority' flavour (vignette about h4xx0rz shuffling floppies around in ch.1, mostly)

asciilifeform: lol mircea_popescu inb4

asciilifeform: artifexd: i recommend a particular monograph, 'malicious crypto' by a. l. young & moti m. young.

asciilifeform: artifexd: certainly. search for term of art 'kleptography.'

asciilifeform: this is very easy to achieve.

asciilifeform: them - sure. but they are not the only keys.

asciilifeform: or the blockcipher symmetrics?

asciilifeform: where do the ephemeral keys come from

asciilifeform: doesn't generate keys?!

asciilifeform: don't want to discourage people - but also can't see wtf is wrong with using same environment gpg was written and built in.

asciilifeform: i'll save the rest for when artifexd posts his apparatus.

asciilifeform: lol

asciilifeform: let's say, specifically the use of questionable crypto routines

asciilifeform: will still 'trust the man, ignore the things' ?

asciilifeform: but suppose he lubricates the razor in his own liquid shit.

asciilifeform: l0l!

asciilifeform: i confess, never imagined this could be.

asciilifeform: someone still remains here in #b-a, of such a habit?

asciilifeform: and fella uses a winblows box for daily life ?!?!

asciilifeform: google is the i.g.farben of this particular hitler.

asciilifeform: not merely ate.

asciilifeform: not that vague. google brass dine with the fuhrer regularly, etc. this is well-known.

asciilifeform: google

asciilifeform: and tainted with known satanic minion's juice.

asciilifeform: basically, does not predate the age of corruption.

asciilifeform: it wasn't around in '89. won't build on a vax.

asciilifeform was simply floored with mindfuck that anyone would choose google's turdlang for a piece of critical infrastructure, and could not resist ringing the bell ☟︎

asciilifeform: better choice ?!

asciilifeform: i mostly have.

asciilifeform: i'll run own client. (will tweak it for compatibility with the rest of you, when i have a little time.) and invite anyone who wishes, to read.

asciilifeform: nope.

asciilifeform: by whom ?

asciilifeform: i know of no reason to put one lick of trust in its crypto libs, for example.

asciilifeform: and used scarcely anywhere else

asciilifeform: it isn't simply an 'other language', it's a massive toolchain created and maintained by a usg satrap.

asciilifeform: it didn't even occur to me that anyone would write such a thing in anything other than c

asciilifeform: it quite possibly can be made to run on bigengian mips

asciilifeform: was sorta trying to keep my dirty hands off it

asciilifeform: i didn't commission the thing, lol

asciilifeform: it is in fact possible to write correct 'c', you know.

asciilifeform: yes.

asciilifeform: incidentally everything that runs on it, is built on it.

asciilifeform: would like, for example, to run on that.

asciilifeform: as discussed a few days ago, i recently installed a mips64 router.

asciilifeform: but would like the option of getting off it. esp. for particular applications.

asciilifeform: 86

asciilifeform: i run virtually every arch i know of.

asciilifeform: the free world.

asciilifeform: but developed exclusively, afaik, for x86 and arm

asciilifeform: it's all, theoretically, open

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: massive megalith of vendor libs, that one is expected to use

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: nominally open-source, but in the same sense as apple's 'darwin' kernel - that is, nobody who isn't paid, reads it

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it's a google-proprietary language similar to 'd.'

asciilifeform: and i fucking hate turdlangs.

asciilifeform: i don't run other folks' binaries.

asciilifeform: !b 1 ✂︎

asciilifeform: what are you developing on? a vax ?

asciilifeform: yes, but why cross?

asciilifeform: why?

asciilifeform: cross-compiling ?

asciilifeform: along with 'java', 'c#', etc.

asciilifeform: 'go' is a turd that i will not have on my systems.

asciilifeform: the original rfc also mentioned specifically use of gpg cryptoroutines
