mircea_popescu: (its evolution in turn based on a very simple notion, directly accessible to the very simple minds then roaming the earth -
as quarry taken is to be distributed by the hunt boss, so everything is a quarry and so everything is to be split up. this works for non-pastoral societies quite well, but when it runs into the better organised, smarter and generally more effectual shepherds and riders they get raped.)
mircea_popescu: pretty much all the "ancient towns" that did make it, memphis to tyre and sardis etc were rebuilt after being sacked at that time
as well.
mircea_popescu: they were ~all palace economies, they were all wiped in the ~same half century cca 1300 bc,
as the iron age begun

☟︎ mircea_popescu: no,
as a general rule drones hang for what they are, queens hang for what they did. there's really little other than "he's jwz" needed to hang jwz.
mod6: "
As of this writing, it needs a log of RAM to work, typically upwards of 25Gigs." :D
Framedragger: i just find it amusing in general, yeah pointing out not
as a contra, but, just, for the lulz
mod6: was so glad to finally be done,
as of 5 minutes ago. but now, have to go clean gutters :/
mod6: thestringpuller: anyway, i get that you're "pissed"
as you said the other day. if this is production server, you need to have some sort of backups indeed imo. if this is development, well, it's all part of the fun.
shinohai: I'm using my unused pogo
as datastore for it xD

as bitcoin to survive for years intact is a bit much.

☟︎ mircea_popescu: these brave weeklings, all tough and impressive
as they've read on the inside of the eggshell.
shinohai: "Practically, this should mark the end of The DAO. The SlockIt folks should work hard to dismantle the fund and return the coins back to the investors in
as orderly a fashion
as possible.'
gribble: Nick 'rdponticelli', with hostmask 'rdponticelli!~quassel@190.103.200.15', is identified
as user 'rdponticelli', with GPG key id 007D7A89C6DF7B2D, key fingerprint 1BC479F968C1D01EA388673A007D7A89C6DF7B2D, and bitcoin address 1MdZetHwDt8SJjVZSkG9GrRdJWrXizu9RE
mircea_popescu: ~what i'm expecting is that in typical inept overwhelmed imperial bureaucracy fashion, some "ceiling"'s going to get hit and before the red tape can be cut through, the true buyer side'll be actually exposed and visible. a visage so grotesque and horrific
as to forever mark itself in the hindbrains of all involved.
Framedragger: asciilifeform: re openpgp format: wait a sec, doesn'tt the 'packet' (
as they are called there it seems) containing user info have to be signed or sth?
trinque: doesn't really count
as a plan, but it's sanity
trinque: I see him more like the guy who, guts hanging out after a grenade, tries
as he might to stuff them back in.
mircea_popescu: guy is ~a bankrupt tv star, "all his money" stuff is bs. he's poor
as a church mouse, all his capital is imagologic.
mircea_popescu: and which,
as an end game, i'm perfectly fine with. who the fuck cares the soviets don't like living in the best countryt in the world. a) i told them to leave and b) if they deserved any better they'd shoot the gestapo.
mircea_popescu: and to best understand HOW the turkeyization works, consider the case of argentina, wherein exist both an old cuckold by the name turner
as well
as a young rapist by the name popescu. now, for whatever imponderable cargo cult reasons (see
http://trilema.com/2014/la-florida-and-other-places/ for discussion), the local cunts want "dollars". there's a huge difference between situation 1, where turner has 100, and situation 2, wh
mircea_popescu: this is currently, and for
as long
as it'll last, a black hole in the usg budget to parallel the f-35 airplane-coffeemaker-submarine combo.
mircea_popescu: but when it does happen, it happens in cunt-centric societies, such
as jewry and gypsy etc.
a111: Logged on 2016-06-17 17:23 mircea_popescu: and the fucking examples are from colombia and whatnot. tell you what, newspapers here were full of some woman who ran a parillada (cheaapo restaurant) who had her kid kidnapped which the newspapers related to her "flashing lots of money" and "publicly declaring she's making asd much
as 10-15k pesos a month" (about $800)

☟︎ fromphuctor: I have a bunch of RSA moduli I'd like to test. The phuctor entry page says it requires GPG public keys. How do I format them
as GPG keys?
mircea_popescu: anyway. hopefully they don't get spooked and do
as you say. end up paying the market cap out of pocket a dozen times over the next coupla years, one for each consecutive hole.
mircea_popescu: does it say something like "nationalization of the whole scheme is regarded
as the solution by the technologically challenged MIT troop" ?
a111: Logged on 2016-06-17 01:27 mod6: and yah,
as far
as I can tell asciilifeform, the only #b-a links there (three of them) are pointing at wiki.bitcoin-assets.com

☟︎ Framedragger: asciilifeform: btw would phuctor (
as it currently works) be able to import an otherwise normal openpgp / rfc4880 key either (1) no self-sig or (2) a somehow borked (nulled? haven't looked at rfc4880 data structures yet) self-sig?
as i see it lotsa info is actually contained *within* the signed part, in that format..
mircea_popescu: if it's intended to work
as what it works, then really there's no use or need for that nonsense.
mircea_popescu: if gpg was intended
as a sort of otr, "user creates subkeys forever", it's shockingly poorly implemented.
Framedragger: depends on matter of scale. if you zoom out and look at gpg
as a whole then you just want to burn everything to the ground, sure. and if you zoom out further you want to rewrite more and more things. but sometimes it is worthwhile to consider relative differences of worth, too, so to speak.
Framedragger: right, sure. but then you'd agree that all phuctorings (save for one, apparently) are interesting insofar
as one is interested in how broken this scheme is?
Framedragger: i agree. but what if there was some trust path from you to hpa's parent key; and there were no paths at all to the diddled child key. surely that's something, even if not enough for you to mark hpa's key (any key)
as "trusted"
mircea_popescu: Framedragger
as exemplified by the woman in the picture. she's "not fake". in what sense ? she could call you and swear for herself ? so ?
trinque just picked up a g5 imac
as a non-intel curio
a111: Logged on 2016-06-16 17:04 mircea_popescu: except in the case
as seen of hpa's key, where they just attached a valid sig to an invalid key.
mircea_popescu: i have nfi how someone who waits for you to go to sleep, pours gasoline and lights up could possibly escape the hanging. it is about
as cowardly premeditated
as it gets, no need to encourage this sort of behaviour.
mircea_popescu: except in the case

☟︎ mircea_popescu: anyway, "standard checksum" appears to be emerging
as sha.
mircea_popescu: no. data is data, formats are standard. data storage is your problem. encrypt it
as you will. no standard encryption. backup it
as you will. no standard backup.
mircea_popescu: but anyway,
as far
as formats go - it seems data integrity procedures should be separated from data.
mircea_popescu: the notion of joining at the hip a permanent store and a cache is so idiotic
as to make me certain the guy had no sort of formal education
mircea_popescu: (but in generally, no, it's
as fucking stupid to have the sig cert in the sig
as it's stupid to have the bitcoin transactions in the bitcoin wallet.
mircea_popescu: there is exactly ONE rsa format, for all time, past
as well
as future, and it goes like this : N, e, comment.
mircea_popescu: i do not have use for
as much
as a rotten end of a thread from usg. you follow this concept ?
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 ?
mircea_popescu:
as late empire turned to medieval times, colonus -> peasantry and foederatus -> yeomanry.
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!
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
shinohai: i just mean to me it makes no sense to include href
as wordcount
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo we prolly should have a rule
as to the maximum wordcount for an a href anchor.
mircea_popescu: they're on a different domain,
as per wordpress idiocy. and wget is apparently written by imbeciles.

http://btcbase.org/log/2016-06-03#1475432 << i've used it, and the wukix people are responsive to feature requests. i think the source is a fork of one of kyoto common lisp derivatives, probably akcl. fwiw it's the same lineage
as gcl and ecl, so ascii's "why not compile ecl" is entirely reasonable
mircea_popescu: just
as long
as the russians, the chinese and the republic each received its respective tax.
