dub: rather than expose my secrets for the fear of incarceration
I'll just remain incarcerated, makes perfect sense
mircea_popescu:
i get tons of emails requiring all sorta crap all day long.
mircea_popescu: in other news,
i am currently eating taliban cookies,
i wish it entered into the permanent record.
dub:
I know what it is, its a completely retarded law that only america has
jurov:
i wish
i could share mircea's ideas about actual lawfulness of the law enformcement around here
jurov:
i admit that. but doesn't look very different to me
jurov: oh and the real reason why
i don't get the issue with fde, is that you imply attackers have access to memory and that implies the machine was on or was shut down just minutes ago
Namworld: Ok jurov,
I guess
I'll offer either buyback at 110% MPEx ask price or transfer to coinbr.
I'll PM you.
jurov: Namworld:
i like some planning
mircea_popescu: re-reading the thing
i gotta give it to dub... he kinda has good points.
jurov: Namworld: but if you keep that up for very last moment like you did things after mpex delisting, then
i may be hard to speak to
Namworld: Only thing
I might keep alive is BTC-BOND, manually. Buyback every small holders, only keep large ones.
mircea_popescu: jurov ostensibly they can just shoot you, too. hardly part of the discussion
i guess.
Bunnyh:
i'd summarize this by saying that there are needs for different granularities in encrypting data
mircea_popescu: circumstantial evidence, of the weakest sort.
i'll just point and laugh at you.
jurov:
i mean, once someone is either able to reboot the machine without you knowing or freeze memory modules, it's pretty game over
mircea_popescu:
i mean
i get it, it's lazy cvasisecurity. grand. may work well in many cases.
i don't want it in my airgapped machine.
dexX7: yada yada..
i think you simply can't say "this one sucks, the other one is the way to go".
mircea_popescu: without going into all the ways truecrypt is broken and etc, which
i don't feel
i have the energy for
☟︎ Bunnyh: suppose
i didn't decrypt my disk in the current session?
nanotube: required the attacker to boot from usb, which modifies the bios/mbr to log pw. then you wait until
i log on and snarf my pw
mircea_popescu:
i can just steal your key from the boot in a variety of different ways, also from recently powered down systems,
nanotube: mircea_popescu> nanotube if
i get your "full disk encrupted" pc
i can full disk decrypt it. if
i get your gpg'd stuff, good luck to me. <- you are missing a crucial step. you don't just 'get my fde comp and got everything'
jurov: <mircea_popescu> nanotube if
i get your "full disk encrupted" pc
i can full disk decrypt it. << how so?
dexX7: same applies to "encrypted hard drive", so you already include "direct access attacks".
i'll rephrase then: how is single file encryption more secure in a similar scenario?
dexX7:
i'd like to know: why do you say single file encryption is preferred?
dexX7: hm.. in that case you're right, but
i'd assume the standard scenario is more like "bad guy sneaks into your house and steals your hdd"
dexX7: haha,
i was just pulling out stupid examples to find something simliar to "full disk encryption sucks, because of attacks based on direct access to the hardware"
mircea_popescu: nanotube if
i get your "full disk encrupted" pc
i can full disk decrypt it. if
i get your gpg'd stuff, good luck to me.
nubbins`: ugh,
i better get this day started. thanksgiving supper in an hour
nubbins`:
i think "eskimobob" from btctalk has some major issues
chsados: my dog is like shaking and can barely walk....
i think he got into some ganja
nubbins`:
i see someone plunked 1 BTC on "no" for havelock's US restrictions
kakobrekla: the "
i dont have a 3d printer" joke completley changed in last 10 years but its still funny
nanotube: gecko_x2: we have good tools now. problem is, [almost] nobody's using them. somehow
i doubt this will change, regardless of how good our tools are.
kakobrekla:
i thought you shove it in the lcd real hard and it pops up here
chsados: ;;later tell mircea_popescu would you mind PMing me with wording a bet
i have attempted to create twice with rejection status "need more specs"
chsados: kakobrekla:
i keep getting rejected for a bet saying bad specs can
I pm you and get help with pointers on wording it better with more specs?
chsados:
I have oatmeal rasin cookies right here next to me actually lol
gecko_x2:
i urge anyone interested to follow that convo
mircea_popescu: until such a time
I move into the building vacated by the fiat ex-stock exchange, and until such a time
I'm sitting on the policy panel deciding how stock exchanging works, this will remain the case.
dexX7: mircea_popescu:
i saw the comparison of different exchanges you put on trilema in 2012. you stated explictily that mpex is unregistred. is there a specific reason, why "this is okay"?
taub_: seriously fuck
i suck
KRS-: Gubment issued vagainas would solve a lot of problems..but can't speak for the quality of them,
I mean look at gubment cheese.
benkay:
i'm particularly enamored of the conspiracy theories around brittany murphy's death
mircea_popescu: that aside,
i can live fine with people up to about "modern conservatism"
Kleeck: that is the dumbest thing
I've read all week.
ThickAsThieves: "
I'm just wondering what's going to happen to my 230 shares of DMS.MINING. Mostly because
I used a loan to get them and
I really should sell off some shares."
mircea_popescu: "si no cocino, no como" > if
i don't pork,
i don't come.
ThickAsThieves: the math is not clear for you because you dont know how many AM-PT shares
I hold that are represented in other PTs
naemsi:
i'd like to say asking around here is part of doing homework since
I know people here are generally contrarian. but sorry if
I broke the rules
mircea_popescu: activemining isn't worth anything. him
i have no idea, who runs it ?
naemsi: If activemining was worth anything,
i might move some over to that, otherwise stay out.
naemsi: well, it was two questions.
I'm thinking to get out of HIM before crackdown, but don't know if anything concrete came out of activemining yet (
I'm not on top of the news).
mircea_popescu:
i can't believe someone's even asking about that still lol.
naemsi:
i have havelock but tempted to get rid of it before inevitable US crackdown
Diablo-D3:
I wonder if almost 2000 shares of DMC are locked away in an account that no one uses anymore
Diablo-D3: this is why
I think evil is just too stupid to win
pankkake: lol
I actually have that one share in first my bitfunder account
_Neil: OK. Just wanted to make the point.
I'm happy. Thanks for listening.
_Neil: Your target audience, ultimately, goes beyond techno-geeks
I hope.
mircea_popescu: well, IPs are difficult to fake. domain names not so. this is a thing of the internet,
i didn't make it that way
_Neil: Unless something's end-to-end encrypted
I can't really trust it. It's that simple. It's not my job as an honest person to figure out how to break it.
I know it's been done many times.
mircea_popescu:
i mean, youy have to realise, my technical involvement in bitbet is modest,
i mostly do business stuff for it.
_Neil: mircea_popescu: What is a private bet? Your website mentions it when proposing bets, with no explanation
I could find whatsoever
Bunnyh:
i made a support ticket of my concern, and all they responded was "Thank you for your ticket. We carefully monitor users' activity for this scam not to happen."
pankkake: well
I guess you could buy and then sell
b0n1: am
i totally wrong or did the profit of just-dice increase by a factor of over the last day?
mod6: and these days,
i agree with mp, if you want to feel good about it, gpg every file with your own key.
mircea_popescu: pankkake
i know where the crazy character came from, too. it's on google results pages, after the url of results.
mod6:
i guess
i just like how you can slice and dice with it, and stackable. self-destruct is neat for orphans too.
pankkake: hmm
I think
I use GELI actually
mircea_popescu:
i dunno what sort of intel community this is, on pps. it boggles.
pankkake: what do you like about geom? (
I use both the freebsd and linux one)
mircea_popescu:
i would have just used a converter personally, but hey. sometimes you're stuck.
