ben_vulpes: perhaps some
time will free up after
this expose-child-to-great-grandmother-in-flyover-states-before-she-exits-gracefully concludes
mircea_popescu: what was
the
total count again ? 20mn ? like 3-4% loaded yet ?
mircea_popescu: it's a matter of audience.
the people who
think gavin is a person don't grok all
this ;
the rest would be counter-affected.
mircea_popescu: well no, given keys A and B, getting B's modulus
to appear on A requires one of
the
two
to collaborate
phf: it's not worth it, it's easy
to get
them
to go
to a bathroom with you
then deliver
that punchline
phf: when i was out last saturday "on
the
town", every other girl was from ohio, indiana, illinois. it
turned into a game at some point.
team ohio won
mircea_popescu: of course by now it matters relatively little, nobody in his right mind would seriously propose
the west has anything
to say or offer.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
the perennial permanence of
this scum accounted for
the very ambivalent reaction east block refugees received, which was
the first desilusionment for most eastern people.

the end of his presentation about how he got
to work in downtown d.c., rubbed shoulders with 'important people',
traveled all
the
time
to speak at prestigious events

the rsa feed? I used
to have it connected
to my bot.
mircea_popescu: im not even sure.
there weren't paris soda fountains, for instance.
phf: well, right, but my point is,
to use
the analogy,
that starbucks wouldn't have anything
to poach if
there weren't paris cafes
mircea_popescu: but i mean...
there's zero relation between
the fact
that cool people in paris cca 1800 drank coffee and starbucks. what coffee culture.
phf: boyd rice is as much of a major musicians, i'm not
trash
talking, i love
that stuff.
phf: i
think yes men come from
that line, but completely devoid of artistic merit, with only leftist moore style commentary left
phf: i
think most of it didn't survive
through 90s, or
turned dully political, like billboard liberation front
mircea_popescu: the usg, ever more distant from reality. after michael moore-level break from reality of
the 90s, moving on
to complete psychosis. soon
to reach best korea level of mental confusion, im sure
that fat schmuck was anally battering women called "Capitalism" and whatnot.
mircea_popescu:
to help
the media
tell stories which
they believe are important"
mircea_popescu: "According
to Servin,
the Yes Men concept initially sprang from
their creation of a fake website spoofing
the World
Trade Organization.
To
the surprise of Servin and Vamos, many believed
the site
to be authentic, and
the
two were consequently contacted
to speak at a conference in Austria. Since
this
time,
the Yes Men have continued performing large-scale hoaxes, in what
they describe as a collaborative effort with journalists
mircea_popescu: lms,
they impersonate entities
that
they dislike, a practice
that
they call "identity correction".
The Yes Men operate under
the mission statement
that lies can expose
truth.
They create and maintain fake websites similar
to ones
they intend
to spoof, which have led
to numerous interview, conference, and
TV
talk show invitations.
They espouse
the belief
that corporations and governmental organizations often act in dehumanizin
mircea_popescu: The Yes Men are a culture jamming activist duo and network of supporters created by Jacques Servin and Igor Vamos.[1]
Through actions of
tactical media,[citation needed]
the Yes Men primarily aim
to raise awareness about what
they consider problematic social and political issues.
To date,
the duo has produced
three films:
The Yes Men (2003),
The Yes Men Fix
the World (2009)[1] and
The Yes Men Are Revolting (2014). In
these fi

tell hanbot
there.
phf: well, my idiocies i bring on myself, so
they can be carefully undone
mircea_popescu: ok, i'm out roflmao. gonna wait a day for YOUR "all kinds of idiotic"
to be fixed
phf: or something along
those lines
shinohai: ;;later
tell mod6 hope you aren't kilt ded
phf: i was going
to fuck around with annotations
tomorrow, but i can do url fixes instead
phf: (it's
trickier
then it would appear
to any rational being, because
the url handler
that i'm using is all kinds of idiotic, i need
to rip it)
phf: only
thing is
that i still need
to add /?date=01-12-2013 handler
mircea_popescu: phf incidentally, you happy with
the log ? am i moving links over ?
mircea_popescu: anyway.
tibet used
to be, roughly speaking, southern california of china. it got
the mongolian hordes in
the midwest all occupied, and more likely
to put up with
the emperor in washingtonjing.
mircea_popescu: not exactly useless. in socialism, political posturing is
the first and often only "useful" activity.
mats: that's when i realized its possible
to have a career being a useless person
mats: afterwards i asked him how he ended up in
the role and it
turned out he did some shit for occupy
mats: he bragged for a few mins at
the end of his presentation about how he got
to work in downtown d.c., rubbed shoulders with 'important people',
traveled all
the
time
to speak at prestigious events
☟︎ mats: chuckled nervously, dodged
the entire question,
then
talked about how important donations were
to
tibetan freedom and wutever
the fuck
mats: i encountered a professional
tibetan panhandler in univ and asked him during
the q&a wut exactly his end game was re: china (e.g. revolution by violent means? establishment of 's.a.r.' like .hk? macau?)
mats: lots of
these folks have
the same smell
shinohai: asciilifeform: any eta on
the rsa feed? I used

☟︎ mircea_popescu: kinda clashes with
the derpage about how "the fsf doesn't consult rms because he's
too slow for school"
phf: that's what i'm
thinking
mircea_popescu: i dunno about
the "labor organizing" skills involved, but if
they're at
the same script kiddie level his
technical skills belie, he's just right for
the democratic party astroturf dept.
phf: Stephen Mahood, Outreach and Communication Coordinator, "Most of his
technical experience came from his work with Occupy Boston IT and May First/People Link, where he combined labor organizing and
technical skills
to support organizations focused on systemic change."
mircea_popescu: but
that aside, obviously all local names are arbitrary from
the global perspective.
mircea_popescu: ie if i were an user i'd log as root@popescu.mayfirst.org rather
than
the more common nowadays.
mircea_popescu: there's also a didier. and so on. seems
they go by
the ancient
tradition of giving users a subnet
phf: it looks like
that's
their mail server, kind of an odd name, but i don't
think RMS is involved
mircea_popescu: also ubertons of fsfe people. it's odd, seeing how fsf i
thought was mostly a us item.
mircea_popescu: Public Exponent 65 is NOT PRIME ! User(s): HP Security Response
Team (SIGNING ONLY) <security-alert@hp.com>; <<< ahahahaha
mircea_popescu: Eng Seng ONG (Sydney, NSW, Australia) <esong@mensa.org.au>; Public Exponent 2441348387 is NOT PRIME ! Public Exponent 2884952233 is NOT PRIME ! <<
this looks like yet another class of different weird e's, perhaps deliberate.
mircea_popescu: Public Exponent 35 is NOT PRIME ! User(s): ssh://2nieqevdp67ck5gr.onion; << i dun use
tor, anyonr
that does care
to screrenshot a page ?
mircea_popescu: Public Exponent 21 is NOT PRIME ! User(s): AvaCam <avacam@geocities.com>; << wasn't
this one of
the early camhos ?!
mircea_popescu: yeah why i said pretty
thoroughly infested. and since few others have
the 35 problem...
phf: Alfonso Mora <alf@arrakis.es>;
there's your halleck. his gpg key is also bork
mircea_popescu: some people just LIKE
to see stuff like " just use 65537" " just use nacl" etc.
mircea_popescu: also compare and contrast with
the centralizing windows mind discussed earlier
today.
mircea_popescu: phf seeing how
they aren'\t paying me
to secure
them, whether it's hot or cold makes no diff.
mircea_popescu: 5. Scolding answer: if you have
to ask, please don't
try
to implement any of
this yourself. It is very difficult
to get RSA right.
mircea_popescu: 4. Long-term answer: don't use RSA. RSA is well on its way
to obsolescence. Most problems you'd ever want
to solve with RSA are better solved with Curve25519 (for DH) and Ed25519 (for signing). Not coincidentally,
these are
the algorithms implemented by Nacl,
the only crypto library you should consider using.
mircea_popescu: 3. Best-practice answer: just use 65537, in all cases.
The other popular answer is 3, which is mathematically fine, but leaves less room for implementation error;
there are some implementation flaws for which attacks are untenable with e=65537.
mircea_popescu: 2. Pragmatic answer: prime numbers are generally coprime with
the modulus, and so
they're an easy answer, and so RSA public exponents
tend
to be prime.
