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
mircea_popescu: this i wish to see.
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: herp. the proof is that i keep secrets ?
mircea_popescu: circumstantial evidence, of the weakest sort. i'll just point and laugh at you.
mircea_popescu: i deny. what ?
mircea_popescu: i fail to see how this works.
mircea_popescu: jurov i don't quite follow the logic there.
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 got news for you
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.
mircea_popescu: Bunnyh i am not disputing it
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?
mircea_popescu: suppose i didn't touch gpg in the current session.
mircea_popescu: yeah, actually, i can.
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?
chsados: may I pm you
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
kakobrekla: http://i.imgur.com/jgwRMJo.jpg
kakobrekla: i think they forgot sarastaball?
kakobrekla: i never say im good
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
chsados: here you go http://i.imgur.com/6cYtpdP.jpg
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"
kakobrekla: ah yeah i just saw your email
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: and i agree
gecko_x2: i urge anyone interested to follow that convo
dexX7: ah i see
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
thestringpuller: i think government should provide all goods for everyone
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.
mircea_popescu: but i mean, the publicly held chunk is 200k.
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
naemsi: sorry, i'm dumb
bitesak: I own s.mpoe shares :)
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: I even have some satoshi divs
pankkake: lol I actually have that one share in first my bitfunder account
mircea_popescu: i don't think it's worth anything honestly.
_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.
mircea_popescu: i don't think it is a goal tbh.
_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.
mircea_popescu: i thought that was block based
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.
