mircea_popescu: was that the one when they drenched the vaults ? lost ~10 trn worth of old paper ?
mircea_popescu: im pretty sure most landline infrastructure in eastern europe has never been maintained in any sense since at least 1985
mircea_popescu: decimation imo destroying the copper infrastructure is even dumber than destroying the family infrastructure.
mircea_popescu: cazalla i skimmed it. dude's begging you and errything. he's nobody i heard of, prolly some noob.
mircea_popescu: and it's still illegal to fuck with the copper in yurp.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform this is weird. in romania they keep the end battery on the pole next to you
mircea_popescu: they're really thinking of something that was utopia pre and probably post osmanli.
mircea_popescu: whenever people like taleb think of peace in their homeland,
mircea_popescu: thus accomplishing more than western europe + north america, by a damned sight.
mircea_popescu: it prevented the middle east issues for well over 5 centuries.
mircea_popescu: you're supposed to replace the other one with the key you're looking for
mircea_popescu: w.b-a.link/trust/7C1FBEC924FBD66531A02AE3F95E4E395927DC9C/FC66C0C5D98C42A1D4A98B6B42F9985AFAB953C4/json
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yes, the notary blockchain stamping mechanism.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you can't forge past because you can' register old deeds.
mircea_popescu: what exactly is inheritance if not this, fundamentally, inheriting father's FIRM. ie, signature.
mircea_popescu: <PeterL> I don't suppose people pass keys down to their heirs? << people well might.
mircea_popescu: now, come 3714, it will be clear that uses ulterior to 3211 are null. but it will also be clear that uses prior to say, 3200 will still hold
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform no but suppose your 4kb key is factorized. this matter is discovered by joe on june 19th, 3211. he signs, with his 64kb key, a note saying so.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform factorization trivially defeated by better key putting it into record :(
mircea_popescu: this is the point of notarization : making the acts of men equal to the acts of god.
mircea_popescu: so that someone in 3714, with nothing but an inscription of deedbot's deeds, can verify our contracts just as well as we can.
mircea_popescu: davout nah, it's required for inclusion in bthe actual deed.
mircea_popescu: which makes shit more complicated. however, it also makes shit perhaps better defensible ? i dunno.
mircea_popescu: PeterL idea kinda is to make a further record of people's sigs, help guard them against mitm and other nefariousness. but as davout points out, now the bot needs a key.
mircea_popescu: is "and pushes it to public repositories" a point of contention ?
mircea_popescu: davout it gotta be one way. if there's four people and they fuck in two subsets of twos, that's segregation. if there's one that fucks all other three but the rest only jack off, that's privilege.
mircea_popescu: but dun worry about it, i seeded the prev one an' ill seed this one too.
mircea_popescu: the point is to let them create and let the whole world trust and be able to verify.
mircea_popescu: i give voice to all the whores, not to mention all sorts of known usg agents
mircea_popescu: davout how do you propose to query assbot for l1/l2 inclusion ?
mircea_popescu: so i guess ima have to modify the spec instead of finishing my "on terrorism' article.
mircea_popescu: which i guess is not that bad, seeing how it also solves the problem of the untrustworthy pgp-sks etc
mircea_popescu: davout only possible workaround seems keeping the lordship keys.
mircea_popescu: dude rms, you saved 24 bytes aren't you a smart fucking cookie.
mircea_popescu: feel free to fork and fix the gpg key verification process so it reports fingerpritns properly not wtf it's doing now.
mircea_popescu: gpg: Signature made Sat 21 Aug 1999 07:04:31 PM ART using DSA key ID 8ACE3E79
mircea_popescu: IF gpg doesn't put out full fingerprints for verified keys, then gpg is broken
mircea_popescu: davout but assbot won't respond unless he queries by fingerprints.
mircea_popescu: well apparently it just became required to verify cause otherwise it can't talk to assbot.
mircea_popescu: davout if you don';t have the key you can't verify signatures, dork!
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla: the point is MAPPING is bad << he understands.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform keyid is the last 16 chars of the 40 char fignerprint. and then there's an 8 char shit too. neither of these last two are any good, but hey, "usability". crap.
