kakobrekla: looks like a car bashed in the wall
pankkake: what I would see is NSA, with the A being a flask
pankkake: oh, the american NSA logo is hard. I wanted to try a parodyw
kakobrekla: with gimp you can logo like a chimp!
mircea_popescu: anyone here a logo artist ?
mircea_popescu: anyway, i think we have a s.nsa logo
kakobrekla: do you have a logo?
thestringpuller: you must have had a bad experience with reddit mircea_popescu
pankkake: that certainly is a lame bet
mircea_popescu: usg generally is a hopeless endeavour.
mircea_popescu: well to their credit the 4chaners succeed a lot better than the redditards.
pankkake: there is a saying, redditors are stupid people who try to appear intelligent, while 4channers are intelligent people who try to appear stupid (expect it's probably better said)
mircea_popescu: spent their time being a shitty network back when everyone used stumbleupon and digg,

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform still not a reason to require it.
asciilifeform: never seen a linux box (save cut-down ones i prepared for various purposes) w/out wget or curl on it.
pankkake: ubuntu-standard is windows, certainly, but wget isn't a good example

asciilifeform: not that many people have tor running on a hosted box
asciilifeform: even the lowest luser knows, i imagine, that you set up the service (e.g. http) on a local port, and expose only the tor port.

mircea_popescu: holy shit, it's a .wpd
mircea_popescu: basically, a box running windows 95 ?
mircea_popescu: that loads up a document G:/shared/azdwebpage/blabla
asciilifeform: pg. 16: "In our time in the lab, we found that running an nmap on a node that isoffering a hidden service will turn up the port that the hidden service is using to deal with incoming connections. It can then be directly connected to, outside of Tor."
mircea_popescu: well, it's a little anecdote i just recounted.

asciilifeform: they occasionally pull off nice things, but solely by crowning a viceroy (e.g. Korolev) who has absolute grasp over some fiefdom.
asciilifeform: sort of like the Soviet scenario of KGB vs GRU, or Hitler's 'two in a box' management style of abwehr vs gestapo.
mircea_popescu: it's possible, but not likely. what happened is that one set of bureaucrats made tor at great expense, and another set used it in a disaster-of-commons way
asciilifeform: to be fair, there is a long tradition here in the usa of first arming some fellows and then sending armies to bump them off

Kleeck__: "It is on par with the government's ham-fisted attempts to close the DC WWII Memorial, an open-air public monument that is normally accessible 24 hours a day. By accessible I mean, you walk up to it. When you have finished reflecting, you then walk away from it. "
mircea_popescu: take them to a camp somewherwe

dexX7: ;;later tell mircea_popescu "hmm.. got to go now, but if you actually came back with a more detailed answer - i'll read it later!"
mircea_popescu: i am saying that numerous concepts are employed in a way which belies unfamiliarity with the field, and the general structuring of the narrative is such that you suspect the author does not have a birds eye view of the topic.

mircea_popescu: ideally what you need is an airgapped machine and a pistol reader.
pankkake: does not handle multiple identities, and slows down the browser after a few hours
pankkake: yeah, you'd need a browser extension…

jurov: just have a tor bundle include gpg proper
asciilifeform: just a random find.
jborkl: hmm, that is a apt complex, not a office
asciilifeform: the site (or mitm version) can always serve up a diddled js.
