pete_dushenski: davout: iirc jetpack offers some nifty functionality, i even ran it myself back in the car blogging days, but yea, it's too messy to audit, so too messy to use anymore
mircea_popescu: it's what automattic / mullenberg dedicate their working hours to.
mircea_popescu: they're all shit. wordpress itself exists, as the deliberately-maintained ddos feature attests, principally FOR this.
mircea_popescu: davout very dubious idea to run plugins or w/e you've not [had] read.
mircea_popescu: i doubt it really, prolly just ban the offender from future auctions.
danielpbarron: pretty sure we'd get up to 10 btc and still not sign anything
danielpbarron: what what point in an Euloran auction would the bidders be asked to sign something?
davout: mircea_popescu: re the signed addresses list: i'm looking into it
mircea_popescu: anyway, not that many business extant whose liquidation value actually goes into double digit btc.
mircea_popescu: you in the race yourself ?
pete_dushenski: i could see bbet fetching 20 btc. more than that would be [pleasantly] surprising.
mircea_popescu: kinda blows all eulora auctions outta water this
mircea_popescu: check that out danielpbarron close to one billion ecu!
mircea_popescu: what's it up to yet ?
pete_dushenski: congrats to asciilifeform on being top bidder thus far. i'd actually like to see him take it down.
pete_dushenski: re: auction, i've taken the liberty of putting the bug in a few ears to see if some interest can't be drummed up.
pete_dushenski: in better news, praise be to eligius for incorporating yesterday's [absent-minded] 0feetx! only took ~22hrs...
pete_dushenski: lol at the jetpack hole. that plugin has been known to be problematic for some time. eg. https://blog.sucuri.net/2015/04/security-advisory-xss-vulnerability-affecting-multiple-wordpress-plugins.html
mircea_popescu: not me ? what was this ?

BingoBoingo: Few thing more worth fighting over than a good cave
mircea_popescu: possibly oldest cheese in the world, herodotus attests.
mircea_popescu: generally spent three seasons in there to mature.
mircea_popescu: but it was uniquely made in that particular cave, twenty miles from cluj
mircea_popescu: anyway. century old cheese invented literally in the place i was born.
mircea_popescu: lol. it's not the english "nasal". sounds more like the voewel in undEr.
gribble: Năsal cheese - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N%C4%83sal_cheese>; FrieslandCampina Transylvanian cheese cave reopens after Nasal ...: <http://www.dairyreporter.com/Manufacturers/FrieslandCampina-Transylvanian-cheese-cave-reopens-after-Nasal-outcry>; Sinus and Food: How Food Can Affect the Sinuses: <http://www.mysinustory.com/sinusandfood.html>
asciilifeform: i vaguely recall this.
mircea_popescu: hey, i think i even had some served in ro.
asciilifeform: eaten straight from the cellar, sure
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform> davout's box 0wn3d ? << seems that way ? o.O
PeterL: davout do you mean you have "real food" that does not rot, or that you also have non-rotting "food" like in US?
PeterL: proper preservative techniques?
asciilifeform queasy just from thinking about it
PeterL: velveeta? my mother-in-law uses the stuff to make mac-and-cheese, even my kids think it is kinda gross
asciilifeform: how does that work
davout: i have, in the us, but we also have that kind of food here, food that doesn't rot
asciilifeform: likely davout has never seen, heard of, or even contemplated such a thing
asciilifeform: davout: no, i mean a specific atrocity, petro-garbage that is sold as 'cheese' in usa, NEVER refrigerated
davout: asciilifeform: "room-temperature-cheese." <<< where i'm from, all cheese is room temperature cheese
davout: asciilifeform: ty for screaming loud enough to wake me up!
davout: ok, so apparently it's one of the plugins i had installed
asciilifeform: i can't be arsed to figure out which.
asciilifeform: i bet one of the innumerable items linked from external (google & shitpress) boxes got 0wn3d
danielpbarron: all the numbers. the other guys' "my 2 cents" became "my <video> cents"
asciilifeform: didja know, the string 405145 now means embed_spam_video() !111
PeterL: good thing you signed the bid, I guess
phf: all coined transfered to malasia!
PeterL: or did he just copy alf's signed comment and insert the junk inside?
danielpbarron: i thought that guy was adding it himself until i saw one in the middle of your signed bid
danielpbarron: yeah all numbers are getting turned into videos
asciilifeform: http://fr.anco.is/2016/bitbet-receivership-first-progress-report/ << holy fuck, is anyone else seeing spam in there ?
mod6: or is someone working on that?
asciilifeform also finds it interesting that enemy is not yet doing this to anyone, afaik. 'glass cannon' ?
asciilifeform: (yet imho it is worth asking, what tmsr systems are affected by this fact?)
asciilifeform: but this is not a cryptographic break.
asciilifeform: incidentally ~gpg~ is broken NOW, i can make a fresh key with, e.g., mircea_popescu's fingerprint, for less than the cost of a bus.
mircea_popescu: nor will there be.
mircea_popescu: and there's no "mechanism" involved in this.
mircea_popescu: if rsa is broken, we have an event of the nature of "end of b-a" not of the nature of "an update".
asciilifeform: it rsa is broken, the dead will 'walk.'
asciilifeform: incidentally the 'same master' algo is catastrophically dangerous because it does not allow you to retire a broken ciphersystem COMPLETELY
asciilifeform: 14:46 <+mircea_popescu> it's more of a "end of b-a" thing than a "update" << waiwut
mircea_popescu: shit, even the word update is ignominous now.
asciilifeform: nothing about same-masters in there.
mircea_popescu: it's more of a "end of b-a" thing than a "update"
asciilifeform: and the instructions were, and i recall, 'if this one is used, old one is to be considered dead'
mircea_popescu: so i did. none of this maps on the "update" process in any way extant.
mircea_popescu: and there's plenty wrong with new key signed with old. sign both with the same master.
asciilifeform: hey i was not counting on the idiot sks update process
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> (but it is dumb in any other context) << orly. because why, because "everyone" is held to UPDATE crypto material at hitler's beak an' call, through a poorly specified process ?
mircea_popescu: shinohai> If only there was a BitBet to bet on who will win BB in auction. << bwahaha
BingoBoingo: Other lulz stumbled upon in researching these qntras https://archive.is/ziS0W
BingoBoingo: Prolly Just something Apple's going to use to speed adoption of iOSX
trinque: I assume they plan to beat Apple on the head with "your phones aren't as s3kur3 as you claim" until... something
deedbot-: [Qntra] FBI Now Offering To Unlock iPhones Just Because It Can - http://qntra.net/2016/03/fbi-now-offering-to-unlock-iphones-just-because-it-can/
asciilifeform: 'Prince suggests that the incidents of CAPTCHA-challenge could be reduced if Tor adopted a plugin that could send ‘a cryptographically secure but anonymous token to services like CloudFlare in order to verify that the request is not coming from an automated system’. Draft code for the plugin has been provided by CloudFlare on GitHub.' << l0l!!
deedbot-: [Qntra] Cloudflare Pressures Tor Developers and Users To Implement Identifiers - http://qntra.net/2016/03/cloudflare-pressures-tor-developers-and-users-to-implement-identifiers/
trinque: yep, was the key
shinohai: Now it just can't get moar white trash than this: http://www.al.com/news/index.ssf/2016/03/2nd_pickens_academy_teacher_ar.html
asciilifeform: (this thing where folks expect keys to never change, is lulzy, yes i get it, mircea_popescu gotta prevent mpex account resale, but it is dumb in any other context)
asciilifeform: use the one in the wot.
asciilifeform: so update the key.
trinque: it's bitching about expired key on the server side
shinohai oils deedbot, makes tea.
asciilifeform mutters malignantly about the idiocy of clearsigning and 'plain text'
trinque: perhaps I lack that key
shinohai: If only there was a BitBet to bet on who will win BB in auction.
asciilifeform: anyway i signed, because apparently nobody believes that i am this far gone into insanity
danielpbarron: never went higher than 2 btc though
mircea_popescu: davout the thing you published misses a crucial element. there's a (or two) lists of addresses bitbet was to use, signed by me. got them ?
trinque: later today or tomorrow, nearly done.
mircea_popescu: i suppose teh peanut gallery be getting antsy by now.
mircea_popescu: hey trinque what's the eta on voicing deedbot- ?
asciilifeform: if i win the auction (l0l) i will make the pet operate it.
mircea_popescu: arguably easier (or at least more accessible) work than slaving butt off to recreate ai like phf's been trying.
mircea_popescu: certainly a cheap answer to "who are you again". spend whatever to buy it, put in the time to keep it going, problem solved.
asciilifeform: anyway i can't imagine mine is the winning bid, the thing is a valuable mechanism, surely worth a fat bag of coinz
mircea_popescu: it got in trouble, was reorganized, works again. this is more reputation than apple has
asciilifeform: afaik nothing but the reputation
