a game boy or nintendo DS or something generate gpg keys

a good choice
Vexual: sell it to
a hipster and get
a decent machine
BingoBoingo: Fuck it, I'm just going to hit the off switch and read up on
A/UX and see if there might be any way to build GPG on there.
Vexual: does it have
a mouses?
BingoBoingo: Thanks, I'll give it
a try before looking into giving up on making an late 80's machine relevant again.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Key generation is still continuing. Either the entropy is really good or it is relying too much on virtual memory to try to accomplish this which... I think defeats the purpose if there are going to be
a bunch of hard drive writes of the process.
BingoBoingo: I think I might have to give up on creating
a GPG keypair with the Mac SE/30
ozbot: Moxie Marlinspike >> Blog >>
A Critique Of Lavabit

dub: don't recall specifics but I've had
a look at some barracuda IP and my impression was 'run away'
dub: its an problem endemic in the enterprise space, companies seem to expect
a guy that install windows all day to magically understand BGP
benkay: ;;later tell jimmybob that'd be the thing. not
a documentary per se but better -
a book.
nubbins`: does anyone know of
a cookbook with recipes for making shit taste really good?
jimmybob: does anyone know
a good documentry on the potential collapse of the usd?

benkay:
a new car, apparently.
benkay: hilariously - cars are
a better store of value in argentina than pesos
mircea_popescu: so. chryser is bankrupt. bailout : govt gives them 10bn in govt backed credit. bailin : govt orders anyone who ever bought
a chrysler car to pay 1k to chruysler.

a bailin is when
a government confiscates third parties funds to save
a failed business.
mircea_popescu:
a bailout is when
a government spends from the tax chest to save
a failed business.
thestringpuller:
a bailout is when someone gives someone else
a bunch of money to save their ass
thestringpuller: if inflation goes out of control it won't be seen in bitcoin accurately because people will stop using fiat as
a unit of account
thestringpuller: to bitcoin, because if/when it goes out of control, there will be
a different unit of account btc
pankkake: but herhaps it will be
a slow painful process
pankkake: I have
a feeling fiat inflation is going to explode sooner or later
mircea_popescu: in this sense fiat inflation is
a rounding error, you'll never measure it.
mircea_popescu: fiat loss of value is
a tiny fraction of bitcoin increase.
mircea_popescu: or w/e, "which is
a way to explain the economical usefulness of things like bitcoin in classical terms"
nubbins`: oil isn't useful as
a measure of anything aside from OPEC's influence
pankkake: indeed, and that taxation vary from year to year (one of our government's genius idea was raising the beer tax - yes there is
a tax specifically on beer)
nubbins`: alcohol is generally subject to varying levels of taxation from country to country, so it doesn't make as good
a barometer
pankkake: though they probably update it only once
a year
mircea_popescu: thats what i'm saying, there's not been
a better solution than pull
a basket out of ass
pankkake: and I'm looking for something sexy like "how many pizzas is
a bitcoin over time"
mircea_popescu: the only way this was ever done was
a composite basket sort of thing.
nubbins`: ^ there's been
a lot of this happening around the house lately
mircea_popescu: bitesak anyway, for now the solution is to try again in
a few minutes siort of thing
davout: pankkake: let's discuss
a couple targets, i needed
a new door anyway
nubbins`: "hey, you were trying to set up
a wholesale acct with us?"
nubbins`: lel, just got off the phone with
a supplier
Vexual: The author states that
a nanocrystalline material is essentially
a new type of diamond film whose properties are largely determined by the bonding of the carbons within grain boundaries.
pankkake: doing
a terrorist attack is incredibly cheap and easy
mircea_popescu: even accounting for the 300% obamainflation, that's still
a small enough sum that it can be obtained by selling
a couipla cars.
Vexual: the patenet from stanford where pando labvs is, they would have modeled many electron configs on
a system such as that
ozbot: [Lasers] US Navy/DoE 'free electron laser' weapon system destroying
a helicopter and missiles - YouT
nubbins`: i think goldstar, which ended up being swallowed up into the G of LG, made
a 3do system at one point
nubbins`: now there's
a name from the past
Vexual: id think those new 4k panels will put out
a bit of heat
benkay: one might munge that into
a rectenna
Vexual: The Government has certain rights in this invention. Support was also provided under NSF award MRI-R2 “Acquisition of

a free supercomputer

a few in -otc and -dev
benkay: but the incentivized humans may have pulled
a trick or two while the nerds were stroking
benkay: brute forcing reality fails on the grounds that reality moves way fucking fast and has for
a long time
mircea_popescu: with such
a great launch they should be ipoing that shit
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Not that I'm aware of yet. From what I understand folding proteins is sort of the raw brute force work that happens many steps before useful science. Kind of like guessing nonces... Maybe mining is
a decent comparison.
mircea_popescu: incidentally, since it's
a topic. i've not much followed it, but i know folding@home has been going for
a few years
jurov: Vexual maybe if you'll upload yourself into
a blockchain and get used as
a currency
Vexual: perhaps watching the chain grow will present some eureka moment where we find that life on earth is just
a currency invesnted by some cosmic satioshi eons before
mircea_popescu: i wonder if dogooderhood comes with hoodies and
a year's supply of dogfood.
mircea_popescu: maybe this magazine should come as
a collection of presentation sheets attachjed to
a slinky.
mircea_popescu: the less intelligent people can follow their nonsense, and even better, the less intelligent people can be bothered to follow their nonsense, the better chance of still being around in
a year feminists have.
pankkake: and I just learned
a new word: shitlord
mircea_popescu: IMF/FRBWDC/BOA-93WB82UN567-G requesting our bank to direct the HSBC BANK USA N.
A,
a subsidiary of the Federal Reserve Bank of America
mircea_popescu: this is to officially notify you that we have received
a confirmation advice from the International
davout: "Quite often will you hear of partners that abandoned their business to go back to teaching (the rough equivalent of
a circus dancer all things considered)" <-- LOL
davout: also randomly ended up on "The advantages of having
a baby"
davout: also refreshing the page on the same article eats
a credit
pankkake: clicking on the credits gets you
a romanian page, not very helpful too
BingoBoingo:
A trilema credit form would make it easier when people get pissed I bumped them into the paywall...
jurov: Would recommend to add
a form to buy credits quickly.
mircea_popescu: anyway, i'm aware of all the overloads you ppl have been causing, and i'm getting
a beefier setup for trilema this weekend.
