mircea_popescu: cocacola does not propoise that the reason it somehow has value (notwithstanding it exists as a rented office with five derps in it) is its "market share"
asciilifeform: and list of everyone who drank coke is worth == to market cap of cocacola ?!
mircea_popescu: you know, like any ponzi ever, they're extracting valuable value out of trade with spain.
mircea_popescu: buyt the very chump lists in question are supposed to be the "secret" reason the "company" is "worth" n billionz.
mircea_popescu: http://qntra.net/2016/05/linkedin-dump-leaked/#comment-59005 << this is pretty fucking epic. linkedin, market-valued at 1/17 the valuation of bitbet.
a111: Logged on 2016-05-18 16:04 Framedragger: i just think someone may have a hard on for hating X (for good reasons) but not dismiss things produced by X prima facie. then again, i suppose it's a useful heuristic in resource/time scarce universes to do just that :)
a111: Logged on 2016-05-12 15:47 mircea_popescu: also, please don't refer to tmsr as "a community". it is not "a community", it is your liege.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-05-18#1468064 << have to understand just how deep the rabbit hole goes. stuff like http://btcbase.org/log/2016-05-12#1466217 ☝︎☝︎
mircea_popescu: lol i see the Framedragger fellow got his baptism by fire ? ☟︎
a111: Logged on 2016-05-18 15:27 asciilifeform: it will be truly comedic if it turns out that the performance of the clowns starring in the 'tor is genuine obstacle to usg, really, believe' circus ends up extending to hanging
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-05-18#1468036 << this is exactly how it works neh ? ☝︎

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-05-18#1468027 << who is this ? ☝︎
mircea_popescu: ask him if he wants to wot.
asciilifeform: in other nyooz, the (interestingly - perfectly street-legal here) tube of tritium is here.
asciilifeform: do we have the sr dump churned ? (who was doing this?)
asciilifeform: 1 is pretty close to launchable.
mircea_popescu: punkman you got anywhere with that torrent thing ?
mircea_popescu: 1 is something you must do yourself, ideally asap. 2 and 3 is something others can do and therefore should. 4 is not urgent. so therefore : do 1 and move on to other things for a while.
mircea_popescu: 4. convert the phuctor key db into a sks as per republican spec. the strategy being that we will confiscate all public key crypto just like we confiscated bitcoin from the fucktarded zombie horde.
mircea_popescu: 3. get the ssh keys, the github keys, and the silk road dump keys 2'd and fed into phuctor.
mircea_popescu: 2. get the rsa conversion to the official tmsr universal rsa format discussed in logs.
mircea_popescu: 1. make the 8ball auto-update on a reasonable server load, fully automated. this will provide nice passive gains. also have it published somewhere.
mircea_popescu: anyway, i'd say that in the interest of conserving manpower, the realtime leeching should not be a priority (honestly, it wasn't in my mind anyway, giving the ease with which hitler'd have turned it off anyway). instead the priorities for phuctor are :
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform ah i see. that's unfortunate.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: 'will not work' means that sks gossip protocol requires blessing on both ends of the line, so i'd have to make friends with an existing user
asciilifeform: that would pull from sks in real time
mircea_popescu: and why'd you install "a server" as distinct from just merging phuctor db ? wtf is this, since when do we credit sks-pr ?
asciilifeform: ;;later tell mircea_popescu soooo i went through the epic headache of setting up sks server on dulap, only to learn that the thing will not work without blessing from existing sks operators.
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: two weeks
shinohai: http://www.fox10phoenix.com/news/arizona-news/142314152-story <<< Middle-schooler hacks teacher's email - naturally this is a job for the FBI
shinohai: ;;later tell BingoBoingo http://ix.io/FVd
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log is the 'somewhere'.
asciilifeform: in the logz.
Framedragger: have you noted any of those instances on your blog on somewhere? would be an interesting read
asciilifeform: which is that the ~kind of people~ who produce the rubbish, are always the same
asciilifeform: but recently i understood the ~reason~ why it is a waste of time
asciilifeform: at one point - in fact, until very recently - i would compulsively dig in and, weeks later, would, e.g., 'yet another google turd'
Framedragger: because who has time
Framedragger: i just think someone may have a hard on for hating X (for good reasons) but not dismiss things produced by X prima facie. then again, i suppose it's a useful heuristic in resource/time scarce universes to do just that :) ☟︎
asciilifeform: Framedragger: until you understand why it is the precise opposite of 'just stupid', you will have nothing to do here.
Framedragger: i think that's just stupid, but owell
Framedragger: well, agl is part of chrome security team, so i guess that's one more reason for you to dismiss pond
asciilifeform: Framedragger: anything that uses google's crypto libs is shitware.
Framedragger: right, have to read the rfc, ok
asciilifeform: and gossipd is considerably more general than a chat, it is to be a complete replacement for tcp/ip and packet switching as ordinarily understood.
Framedragger: well, i too like non-garbage-collected no-bullshit systems languages. but golang is not shit just because it's golang. unless reasons? but maybe you've elaborated on this before..
asciilifeform: i found that it is a 100% perfect litmus for shitware.
asciilifeform: where two sides exchange, a:'i have x,y,z' b:'i have p,q,y' ..... and a sends b 'x,z', b sends a 'p,q'
Framedragger: ahhh. i should have known; hence all the names; thanks asciilifeform
asciilifeform: Framedragger: more generally, 'gossip protocol' is a standard term for a particular type of synchronization, as used in, e.g., sks
Framedragger: is this https://github.com/luanjunyi/gossipd at all related to the gossipd as proposed on trilema?
Framedragger: i'd just think that they prefer that environment to the other, is all
asciilifeform: it will be truly comedic if it turns out that the performance of the clowns starring in the 'tor is genuine obstacle to usg, really, believe' circus ends up extending to hanging ☟︎
Framedragger: but yeh they prefer the hipsta berlin
BingoBoingo: Wait so her, Appelbaum and all the other "exiled" Tor developers are in German?
shinohai: Sure, run to Germany. You'll be safe there dove.
Framedragger: best to just read the original i think: https://blog.patternsinthevoid.net/fbi-harassment.html
Framedragger: ^ that's a bit incorrect, she's already been living in berlin, but had to visit family etc in US; so not really "on the run" ☟︎
a111: Logged on 2016-05-18 14:47 asciilifeform: pete_dushenski, by all appearances, seems to live in a peculiar reaganite fantasy planet where su refugees cream their pants upon tasting delicious american mickeydee, and wax ecstatic while kissing bald eagle in the beak without having to watch out for kgb and no longer having to feed the bear or adjust the vodka level in the house reactor.
asciilifeform: but it is interesting to me, how little the two have in common.
asciilifeform: (there is, hilariously, another fantasy planet on which su soon-to-be-emigres lived, the one in the '80s vhs tapes. as described in l0gz)

Framedragger: mircea_popescu: great, thank you! will do (i'll be on-and-off today, too)
deedbot: mircea_popescu rated Framedragger 1 << old timer
mircea_popescu: $rate Framedragger 1 old timer
mircea_popescu: Framedragger answered./ i'll be off to town now, but we can continue this discussion once i'm back, feel free to add comments.
Framedragger: much thanks :)
Framedragger: i wasn't sure whether you intended for there to be a facility to post unencrypted public texts, for example (that is, that there would be a way to not only encrypt text to recipient key or set of keys corresponding to, say, a particular group - but also to post plaintext for meet-and-greet, whatnot).
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: fwiw, posted as comment on your article, and paste here: http://wotpaste.cascadianhacker.com/pastes/516b9972-337a-4b88-ba48-711af84dc281/ - easiest format of responding is probably as a follow-up comment on blog, though.. anyway. i liked the overall idea.
mircea_popescu: people who don't belong walking in my fucking town.
mircea_popescu: and the reason i had to have it fucking machined is exactly this, "oh sounds like hammock stand we got that" "bitch, did i say this pos ?!" "oh, it's just as good!" "go make a fucking website somewhere".
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform fuckhouse and slaughterhouse have a lot in common. i'm at a loss to even distinguish.
mircea_popescu: which you have put a gasket on to keep airtight, now you need a supply of new gaskets... fuck this inept doj style provisioning.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform suppose one day you have to clean blood/shit/piss off your fucking fittings.
mircea_popescu: Framedragger either that or use http://wotpaste.cascadianhacker.com/ i don't have whatever that one was whitelisted here.
Framedragger: i guess i can post that text as comment on original blog post
mircea_popescu: Framedragger blogging essentially is "a valuable collections of items that, on their own, would probably not have been worth it"
Framedragger: yeah that is probably true. i didn't think it was worthy of a blog post so to speak, but yeh
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform also this is outdoor item, properly coated pipe is good outside. fittings fucking rust. and on it goes.
mircea_popescu: awmaygerd get a blog man. you'll regret not having after years of pastes that went away
asciilifeform: and it boggles my mind that mircea_popescu had to have this item of furniture machined
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: transportable in sections
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform think, "one man can transport it" means "you'll end up transporting it with your penis".
asciilifeform: now i would like to see a picture of how this thing is used
asciilifeform: and why would trapezoid with smooth corners injure ?
mircea_popescu: avoid injury. what you use the thing for is ... kinda intense.
asciilifeform: what'd be the reason ?
asciilifeform: and whole thing can be transported by 1man
mircea_popescu: why the fuck make it with angles jesus.
mircea_popescu: and that's no good either.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i bet you dollars to donuts you have there some sort of plastic/zamak bs which, if put into serious use, would bend like playdo
asciilifeform: it is trapezoidal rather than curved tho
mircea_popescu: and from what i'm hearing the us is following its socialist destiny towards argentinization.
asciilifeform: i think i have this item here even
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform "off the shelf" in argentina means you can have a bottle of water.
mircea_popescu: shinohai yeah, but that stops with inch or maybe inch and a half thick. the instrument needed here is the size of alf's house.
asciilifeform: buy off the shelf ?
