jurov: keonne: not
a good idea to ask proofs from these paleo zealots
Mats_cd03: fluffypony: so you had
a btc float equivalent to the size of the loan?
cazalla: still, learning without feeling like it's an effort is
a good thing for me
cazalla: yeah, i typically google the definition of
a few words, i can usually put it together but some of the writing on trilema just goes over my head
bitcoinpete: trilema hurt my head on-and-off for nearly
a year. then it hit me like
a shit-ton of bricks
cazalla: i think i said before but you were not on irc - i enjoy your writing, it's an easier read for me compared to trilema, that's not
a dig though more
a reflection of me dropping out of high school
bitcoinpete: cazalla: lol glad to be of assistance. having romanian friends is
a useful window into that world.
BingoBoingo: bitcoinpete: Prolly best to not refer to my GPG guide as
a COMPLETE Wot thing until I finish my IRC guide, which should happen in the next two days
fluffypony: as
a dollar-linked loan I would have come out better than borrowing from
a financial institution
Mats_cd03: what
a dangerous hedge, wouldn't you say, in hindsight?
bitcoinpete: the commonwealth countries are
a bit tighter it seems
fluffypony: also I'm in South Africa - the comparisons with the US are nuts, getting
a loan here is
a vastly different story and at
a vastly different interest rate
bitcoinpete: hey i had
a friend who wanted to borrow and repay in btc
fluffypony: also the loan was Dollar-linked, I would never have asked for
a BTC loan repayable in the equivalent BTC
fluffypony: it seemed like
a good idea at the time
fluffypony: bitcoinpete: I didn't even know I was the subject of
a blog post
Mats_cd03: (on that subject, is there
a github tipbot like there is one for reddit?)
Mats_cd03: send
a bitcoin tip to the maintainer if its useful in the future
ozbot: Ghetto Hikes | "Mr. Cody, lemme borrow them monoculars, I think I see
a pack of bald eagles."
bitcoinpete: if his teachings of romanians about land is any indication, i think it'd be
a hit
BingoBoingo: This thing is remarkable in how much of
a non-story it is... Even for Coindesk
bitcoinpete: that charlie lee dood is turning out to be
a more fucktarded shill than i originally gave him credit for
BingoBoingo: bitcoinpete: And as you do that say
a lament to Ultimate Warrior's passing
BingoBoingo: bitcoinpete: Wait, there's
a Trilema about that maybe
bitcoinpete: ;;later tell mircea_popescu i'm not sure if you recognized fluffypony from
a few hours ago but that's the same handle as the forum dood you pwned in "Why finance shouldn't be open to your average Schmoe." I recognized the name because i linked to that piece earlier today after someone tweeted about some BTCJam "hack." One fluffypony asked for coins for his kitchen, one for his rig frames…
mod6: < BingoBoingo> Sometime you can judge
a book by its publisher << +1
BingoBoingo: Duffer1: Maybe when multiple times
a day cavity searching gets normalized, some of the searchers will send the search with notes reading things like " Cavity searched earlier, sphincter torn, proceed with caution"
BingoBoingo: Sometime you can judge
a book by its publisher
ThickAsThieves: i was speaking with
a former military tech at the bar
a few weeks ago and he was giving me
a shit-eating grin about NSA/Tor
BingoBoingo: The state of the art from 1980 on 2004 semiconductors would be
a hell of
a thing to behold
BingoBoingo: So... what Open source alternatives are there to OpenSSL which aren't as much of
a bitch to read?
zacm: competent to follow the incentives, like getting through the revolving door to
a higher paying job, making deals along the way to do so
TestingUnoDosTre: It's not like the USG can afford, or even needs to pay
a high salary
nubbins`: his wife was
a kidney specialist
zacm: Kidney said his superiors were more focused on getting high-paying jobs after their government service than on bringing difficult cases. The agency’s penalties, Kidney said, have become “at most
a tollbooth on the bankster turnpike.”
zacm: The SEC has become “an agency that polices the broken windows on the street level and rarely goes to the penthouse floors,” Kidney said, according to
a copy of his remarks obtained by Bloomberg News.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu I suspect they must have
a seekrit forum, because You have more socks than that everywhere.
bounce: the guy's an academic with
a bunch of publications and two rfcs to his name. time to send in some tin foil hats to check all that, too.
mircea_popescu: bounce they may not be exactly right. this will take
a lot of work.
mircea_popescu: talk about
a product that owns its market. the french f1
mircea_popescu: anyway, this suddenly makes tor significantly more useful. at least for
a few weeks.
bounce: there was also that = vs == in
a linux syscall
a while back
Naphex: imo, definitely
a planted bug.
mircea_popescu: Naphex all the poor souls arguing with me over tor's safety
a few months ago. awww.
bounce recalls an irc discussion going on 15 years back, where someone speculated that
a nsa backdoor might look like "int foo;" instead of "long foo;". and you just can't tell. well, here we have such an innocuous thingy. and you never can tell. but spectacular, that the effects certainly are.
fluffypony: but locking
a session to an IP is also fraught with issues, so that's not
a good technique
mircea_popescu: fluffypony there's many ways to mitigate
a known attack, by the very definition of "known".
fluffypony: before I patched our local server this morning (not behind CloudFlare as CloudFlare don't have
a node in South Africa) I played around with it
midnightmagic: The attack is just
a heartbeat with
a size modifier different; it's an overrun read-only flaw. Unless the attack is expanded to something else, there is no targetting. It's "whatever's sitting 64k behind the heap."
bounce: and named it, and registered
a domain for the name
midnightmagic: mircea_popescu: That is from the heartbleed site. It implies more information is available, but it's information which is sitting in that specific area. It's
a busy area, but it's just that specific area.
mircea_popescu: midnightmagic "There is no total of 64 kilobytes limitation to the attack, that limit applies only to
a single heartbeat. Attacker can either keep reconnecting or during an active TLS connection keep requesting arbitrary number of 64 kilobyte chunks of memory content until enough secrets are revealed."
tg2: and it has been around for
a while
mircea_popescu: Naphex keonne was sayin' earlier they got it fixed, waiting for him to pop back in cause i wanted to grill him
a little
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
a meta-nsa may or may not exist.
a meta-media definitely does exist.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo: benkay:
A jog can't do the things Lithium can though <<< actually, afaik it does.
nubbins`: please keep all gods on
a leash
ozbot:
A gas cloud collides with the black hole at the center of our galaxy, and we get to watch | PBS News
mircea_popescu: wait dudes! do you realise god spelled backwards is dog, and so the black lab meme and the bitcoin jesus meme just came together in
a total and complete
Duffer1: change the wording to what though? "
a situation eerily similar to that of
a fugitive" how is that different?
Aquent: its just
a suggestion - take it or leave it is of course entirely your choice
mircea_popescu: they are visiting meta-graceland, for
a party hosted by elvis
bounce: went on
a hike with that neobee guy?
fluffypony: I bet he'll turn up in
a StarBucks somewhere
Aquent: Why you saying Mark Karpels is
a fugitive?
fluffypony: got
a fabrication facility, and then it's packed and shipped from
a picking/qc floor
mircea_popescu: do you build them in your garage like ? or got
a little warehouse somewhere ?
mircea_popescu: o hey. so 3k frames closer to sanity, that's
a public service.
mircea_popescu: kinda curious because the appalling situation of mining rig arrangements is
a bit of
a historical lolpoint
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: I'll gladly send you the proposal if you have
a bit of time to take
a glance at it, just not too keen on sharing it publicly for all and sundry;)
Naphex: mircea_popescu: guy probably had
a short on bitfinex trololol
mircea_popescu: "so if you were to perform the request over an unsecured network, you could easily intercept and send
a different payload without having to generate
a new signature"
