the adventure easily cost 10mn.
mircea_popescu: Framedragger anyway, stalin or no stalin,
the marxist "perspective" is exactly "a study of antarctica from
the point of view of santa's factory"
mats: xenophobia is
the motherfucking answer!
mats: god forbid any american official EVER admits
their systems are indefensible
mats: no no, its
the chinese
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes
the white house experts have identified russian hackers behind
the incident.
ben_vulpes: water in
the power
transmission bearings
this
time

they just
take your ship.
shinohai: Google
translate is why r/btc misinterprets miners as saying "Suck Roger Ver's cock"
Framedragger: i'm not sure if žižek "seriously references Stalin", i mean he has
the guy's portrait in his apartment iirc (...), and it's a bit of a joke. (yes am aware stalin gets quoted, including in his books which i've glanced at.) either way, yeah, it's a dorky mish-mash of
things...
Framedragger: ^ nice! veri greitful fuor yor
translašn. -eastern yuropean guy
Framedragger: (i mean,
the gist is prolly about right, i'd agree..)
Framedragger: no, but
the
title intrigued me
tho (apparently it reads as it sounds), so i've put it
through google
translate so your beautiful language can be raped and i can nevertheless get
the gist..
Framedragger: oh no i meant "pervert's guide
to cinema",
the other one (ideology) is more preachy (as
the
title allows for)
Framedragger: ^ (the above is parody - understandable if one gets confused
tho lol)
Framedragger: oya - i admit
to watching it multiple
times (had
the pleasure of actually reading said object of satire)
a111: Logged on 2016-11-23 01:57 phf: Framedragger: yeah, bug in
the router, can access as
http://btcbase.org/patches (which i know is confusing since it's also /log/), but obviously needs
to be fixed
Framedragger: heheh. UK office addresses for bullionvault and whiskeyinvest appear
to be
the same - how nice
shinohai: Therefore, investing in Night
Train will be a win.
Framedragger: (but
this can be resolved one way or another i'm sure.)
Framedragger: asciilifeform: i guess i should. yeah fair enough. btw iirc
there's still no markable security difference between urandom and random?
mircea_popescu: moreover not all fruits are blocking ; and some
things are just good hygiene at low cost
trinque: sometimes people can
think of
two, even
three fruits at a
time!
mircea_popescu: it makes
the db slightly larger, but it does solve a fundamental problem.
Framedragger: jesus you guys, you realise all
those deedbot messages are still internally encrypted with symmetric aes ('session key') right? and you
think
the lowest-hanging fruit is fingerprint? ok i guess
trinque: and sure, could easily do
this. I was already going
to move
the pubkey into my db for
the www-wot pages
mircea_popescu: trinque it'd just be
the index, you can keep precomputed field with anything you'd like right next
to it.
trinque: mircea_popescu: if
this is something I can jam into gpg at each call
mircea_popescu: he does have a point, and i
think also
the code
to allow you
to extract it from a pubkey if need be
mircea_popescu: trinque would you be capable
to migrate
to indexing by pubkey numeric value ?
mircea_popescu: yes well,
to clean a room you gotta at some point stand on dirty floor.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you realise, deedbot searched me in its own copy of
the gns. by fp.
mircea_popescu: all our uses, in deedbot, in voicing model, in wot, in v, all rely on
the concept of fp as gns namespace.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform no argument re it being broken. point is - it exists, and can't be
trivially fucked for now, so until replacement is made, can be used.
mircea_popescu: no i wasn't about
to send pubkeys
to freeonlinehashes.foryou
mircea_popescu: i'm not making
the argument you should. i'm just pointing out
that it is
the only way
to be 100%.
mircea_popescu: because
thatg's
the only way you're guaranteed
to not have
the current gpg problem
mircea_popescu: this problem is harder
than you realise, because eg, you don't know what publishing hash(privkey) leaks.
mircea_popescu: this ranks way up
there in
the
top 10 machine humour incidents
Framedragger: so deedbot or gns would decide on
the allowed fingerprinting schemes.
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: i'm saying
that
there's a possible runaway effect where a party could claim
to own many a fingerprint, because "their key fingerprinting function is like
that",
to
the point where semantically useful names could be owned by
them. but
that's just ridiculous..
mircea_popescu: think - currently deedbot administers a very narrow implementation of
the gns, whereby if you claim
to own X domain, it challenges you and if you pass it gives it
to you.
☟︎ Framedragger: i guess i could invent a hash function which always outputs some short meaningful names like "CocksCocksBallsCocks" and
then claim i have a right
to
them because
that's my fingerprint, but it all boils down
to WoT and "don't be ridiculous".
mircea_popescu: make it
take fingerprints as
they are for now, and can be extended later.
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: i suppose
the system could just allow one
to own multiple fingerprints, according
to different schemes, with some constraints on length ('minimum length' at least)?
mircea_popescu: it's like being indiana jones, all
the meaningless fragments snap
together eventually.
mircea_popescu: note how neatly
this clasps into
the "causes, not purposes"
thing, also.
mircea_popescu: now,
the one hold-up here is
that we've not yet settled on an universal-fingerprinting-function and we don't like how
the koch-rsa fingerprinting works
