asciilifeform: if you're structuring the 'comment' field, before long you end up with rfc4880 et al if not careful.
mircea_popescu: well, work on your own time. but work the way we're going not orthogonally.
mircea_popescu: there is exactly ONE rsa format, for all time, past as well as future, and it goes like this : N, e, comment.
asciilifeform: fundamentally this is good idea. but i can work either on this or on other things.
mircea_popescu: not by centering on the non-rsa formats and adding tms on the side.
mircea_popescu: illustrate them by storing rsa in the rsa format and adding the illustration on the side
asciilifeform: phuctor is, among other things, specifically machine for illustrating the defects in gpg format
mircea_popescu: so then stop being jurov-y about burning it.
mircea_popescu: i do not have use for as much as a rotten end of a thread from usg. you follow this concept ?
asciilifeform: did i ever say the pgp format shouldn't burn ?
mircea_popescu: let them all fucking burn.
asciilifeform: iirc mircea_popescu even ~read~ the thing.
mircea_popescu: fuck that shit.
asciilifeform: rfc4880 key is the fundamental object !
mircea_popescu: different packagings of THIS SAME OBJECT are not to be entertained. we control ther fucking horizontal, not "gpg" or "opensshit".
mircea_popescu: there ARE NOT two classes of object. rsa is the class of object.
mircea_popescu: if you store as a csv, add more fields. if you store in any other format, a mechanical equivalent for "add more fields" exists. what is the problem ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: does it not make sense to you that having two classes of object, whereas previously there was no need to distinguish classes, is at least 2x complexity ?
mircea_popescu: it is the height of ridiculous for you to tell me that "my program is so fucking stupid if it has to handle two items it can only pick one and pretend the other doesn't exist". you understand this ?
mircea_popescu: we're back to this ?
asciilifeform: understand, if i were to switch phuctor to storing IN this format, NO key it spits out will ever be eatable by gpg. ☟︎
asciilifeform: where am i to get these ?
asciilifeform: thing is, pgp key includes more info than simply 'modulus, email'
mircea_popescu: a nice then. so put it in.
mircea_popescu: he wrote it TO tmsr format iirc.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform so write it a convertor. it's strategically stupid to make "a new gadget".
asciilifeform: it will go ~slightly~ faster if i dump'em in, in bulk, but understand - i do not have the time presently to write any serious adjunct to phuctor
asciilifeform: Framedragger: fundamentally anybody should feel free to submit whatever to phuctor.
asciilifeform: they are stored as-found. so they can be shat back out and compared to extant key elsewhere etc.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: phuctor is, originally, ~specifically~ about pgp keys, ~verbatim~, as found in the wild forest. any other thing will have to be a new gadget.
mircea_popescu: phuctor gotta move to tmsr format not teh other way round. give the guy a moment,
Framedragger: asciilifeform: do you think it's a sensible idea to try and convert ssh public keys into rfc4880, and then submit them to phuctor (possibly in bulk)? or is that something i should leave to you?
Framedragger: asciilifeform: script worx, much thanks!
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo " since it's sale to Airbnb" << its.
mircea_popescu: now, man beset with lots of typhus may end up thinking so, "they're all the same", etc. but this is not exactly thinking in the proper sense, more like emotional lashing out.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform that's basically saying "can't get a proper meal assembled without getting a bacteria in there. if it's clean it's an industrial product nobody wants to eat, if it's made properly, well!". this is true, but also irrelevant, the bacteria are everywhere but they aren't specifically dedicated to a cause through being bacteria. they're not typhus specifically.
asciilifeform: sterling had point tho - can't get 20 people in a room without a stool pigeon
mircea_popescu: (with any luck, slave's kid could become knave, ie, 4th rank in the army, below yeoman, squire and knights in that order.)
mircea_popescu: as late empire turned to medieval times, colonus -> peasantry and foederatus -> yeomanry.
mircea_popescu: the barbarian is the basis of the european minor nobility.
mircea_popescu: the roman "citizen" is the basis of the european slave class.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform mno, not in that vein at all.
asciilifeform: the ticks on the bears - even moar.
mircea_popescu: check out the inept agitprop bullshit. NOBODY wants to be "a spook", and for most people, including cashiers and waitresses, this move isn't an upgrade.
asciilifeform: bears in the woods, superior still !
mircea_popescu: " All hackers aspire to an upgrade to spook." <<< ahahaha. "all barbarian lords aspire to colonus status". fucking bs. foederati had superior legal status to "colonus servusque". much like black dudes in the us have superior status to white office drones.
Framedragger still hasn't read schild's ladder. prolly need accompanying graph theory textbook
asciilifeform: 'I know what militant leftist political correctness actually does in reality. It’s got nothing to do with SJW’s sobbing over transgender rights and everything to do with having your door kicked in with KGB jackboots at four in the morning.'
mircea_popescu: it ain't the 50s anymore, dorothyform.
mircea_popescu: plus you get some delicious canned soup out of the deal.
mircea_popescu: you want to buy a "genre fiction" novel, buy fifty cans of campbell soup and read the labels in succession. same shit.
mircea_popescu: psa : genre fiction is not fiction, it's those merchandise tags and labels that ran long for the space.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform because you people have ~no taste and read shit spread on paper.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: fella is a well-known dead tree sf author on this side of the ocean.
mircea_popescu: no wonder he's being promoted. by now, the moment i see lamestream going "X is a Y" the ~only thing i think about is that if Y = bitcoin, they'd be saying x=gavin.
Framedragger: asciilifeform: gotcha. i have thing which converts ssh pubkey format to e,N,IP. i'll probably have a thing which generates rfc4880 (inserting ip address as comment field, say) from e,N,IP. thanks!
asciilifeform: whole thing lulzy
mircea_popescu: guy has a solid point. there's nothing new in this world except for hte history you didn't know etc.
shinohai: so10K causes the BitGold pyramid to collapse under weight.
asciilifeform: 'he blackhat scene is always riddled with informants. The only thing a Darknet guy likes better than darknetting is ratting somebody else out. All hackers aspire to an upgrade to spook. Hackers have no shut-your-mouth “omerta,” so whenever they get arrested they’ll brag to the authorities for 72 hours straight. They’ll even draw helpful little flowcharts for the cops.'
asciilifeform: for umpteenth time..
asciilifeform: from the dept. of loltronics: http://triggerwarning.us/critiquing-the-future-with-bruce-sterling
mircea_popescu: aaaanyway. just a stray thought.
asciilifeform: which is definitely not two pages of anything.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: realize that the routine posted earlier uses all of rfc4880.
mircea_popescu: (you can write two pages of cannonical implementation in lisp even if your actual implementation that you use is in py/c/whatever. make it a sort of official lingua franca of coding, is my idea.)
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yeah, just saying as a horizon thing.
mircea_popescu: and here's a two stroke engine to get the day started in gear. http://67.media.tumblr.com/c4a6298582c76943b282e9b85b59de44/tumblr_nukg7cFcjI1tvvddjo1_500.gif
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: good advice, thanks
asciilifeform: the whole rfc4880 parser has to be rewritten.
Framedragger: asciilifeform: ah wait lol: i'd be parsing ssh rsa keys, not pgp keys - different format - though also base64 etc. i'll check!
mircea_popescu: not obligatory, just, something to strive to.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform an idea here would be to make a soft commitment to publish all cannonical code in lisp implementations.
asciilifeform: also i left some of the pieces used by phuctor in, in case whoever wants to experiment.
mircea_popescu: and a blog is a valuable and important asset for the adult man.
mircea_popescu: yeah, if you get imagemagik installed (lol!) there's a bunch of interesting visual stuff. quick way to jumpstart a blog, socialmedia exists ~out of this.
asciilifeform: ~no error checking tho.
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: can't disagree with you there
Framedragger: i guess right now i'm more curious to see general statistics / trends, e.g. distribution of ssh server versions per given geo region / AS etc., not that it may be too useful, but just genuinely curious
mircea_popescu: generally, the fiat of the fiat state must be leached away from its crippled hands. very generally. what way one goes to accomplish this... well, that's why the one is one.
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: yeah not the worst idea, i too think there may be not much of a market there though, but who knows.. good to know, if i ever come to consider b2b plans more seriously
mircea_popescu: Framedragger there's also nothing wrong with trying to package it for b2b and beat in the marketplace those derps mentioned in the log days ago. i don't personally think there's a market there, but maybe i'm missing a crease. teh republic'd support you in any case.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: about to post proggy, momentarily
mircea_popescu: it is kind of a big deal. asciilifeform there must be a standard. this "submit key" thing doesn't work if for instance he's trying to dump 2mn static html pages into a website.
Framedragger: not a big deal at all tho of course, useful for laters and for future exploitations and analysis infrastructure though
mircea_popescu: yeah that's a good point Framedragger
Framedragger: asciilifeform: kk, thanks, a script (or some description) would be useful!
asciilifeform: ;;later tell phf log is dead
asciilifeform: ;;later tell phf log is deed
asciilifeform: Framedragger: there is not, currently, but i can clean up and post a script later. for the time being you can easily get the hash by submitting key to phuctor.
Framedragger: the latter would be quite useful - i may spin up some simple analysis thingie which shows info for those ssh keys, and it'd be nice to be able to link to corresponding phuctor entries
Framedragger: for example say i have some public key available. is there a way for me to derive phuctor's permalink for that key (acknowledging that the permalink may not be active yet, i.e. phuctor does not even know of the pubkey etc) ?
Framedragger: asciilifeform: is there a 'stable' algorithm / spec for deriving phuctor's hash / permalink? you'd mentioned before that it "includes the entire key - names, emails, ~all~ subkeys."
thestringpuller: i preserved the chain, and the bitcoind that built it. so what i'll do is get another disk, try to start from scratch with that build, and see if it wedges at the same place.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform "but for the grace of god there goes i" or how did that quote go.
mircea_popescu: phf it's very hard to differentiate oneself when oneself has nothing to offer. forced mistake, what else to do other than.
phf: which i always thought is a pretty poor rhetoric tactic ever since i encountered it in like 6th grade
