mircea_popescu: well it turns out i was living on argentine time when in romania
mircea_popescu: took ~4 years to go from 0,001 to 500, will it need 4 more to go to 500k ?
mircea_popescu: depends. btc = 500 death threats, btc = 500k own computer parts factories
mircea_popescu: but i mean, how hard would this be, just a pluggable microsd.
mircea_popescu: decent way to generate terrabytes of prng data on the fly too
mircea_popescu: have a slot on the thing where end user plugs his own chip
mircea_popescu: i suppose one of the best ways to go, actually, would be to embed the encryption in the drive.
mircea_popescu: spo let tens and tens of indians and somali kids twitter undesirable words, it's not a bad net result.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, i imagine there's some interest against mass bannings. moreover, you aleways want to allign the creed leeching of scammers with your agenda.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, i shall interestedly propose the heuristic "were they banned on twitter"
mircea_popescu: i think its lack of popularity has a lot to do with its usefulness.
mircea_popescu: and her armpits and behind ears would grow new fucking strains of unbeforeseen molds
mircea_popescu: like if a woman was washed by the FOSS, her nipples and vulva would be very clean
mircea_popescu: even if it were proper open sourcde (which truecrypt never really was) the entire "oh million of eyes" is a total myth.
mircea_popescu: one DEFINITELY doesn't want a populr packaging that's too likely to be attacked anyway
mircea_popescu: im just saying you know ? the tools are there, one doesn't actually need a particular packaging thereof
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, doesn't have to. you can give it a ramdisk
mircea_popescu: prolly byte for byte mor efficient than truecrypt or anything else.
mircea_popescu: and i doubt it works any less than your system works anyway.
mircea_popescu: there's fucking reasons tar ended up the way it did, and they have to do with 30+ years of actual use in the field.
mircea_popescu: anyway, if one must have container encryption, use the fucking tools. make a tarball that you gpg encrypt
mircea_popescu: pankkake: I guess you could do file level encryption with gpg, but… there are probably better solutions << i still don't get why anyone thinks container encryption is a thing or makes sense
mircea_popescu: anyone with a reddit presence want to start a subreddit ?
mircea_popescu: Mats_cd03: i spent a moment imagining what /r/bitcoin would be like with b-a mods << actually cool.
mircea_popescu: so what happens if trhe terrorists turn on a huge fan on the side ?
mircea_popescu: as long as you always regen your otps it's as unbreakable as it gets, and your decrypt function is simply bytexor or we
mircea_popescu: pankkake, actually, you can use the cardano to generate a multi-mb otp, keep it encrypted
mircea_popescu: pankkake, like thaqt except those women don't look like they could a) operate the hardware ; b) drag it around in the sun for 16 hours.
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller: we should all threaten Theymos << mass solutions, kinda meh
mircea_popescu: last i said this a year ago consensus ended upo being "yeah but not much alternative"
mircea_popescu: a regiment of topless-bikini camo clad chicks'd prolly kill
mircea_popescu: assbot: Israeli (IDF) female soldiers girls dancing with guns and underwear << i dun get what the big scandxal is. if they had any sense they'd allow victoria's secret make an optional uniform for women in the service.
mircea_popescu: how the fuck greece is in and gturkey is out is beyond sense
mircea_popescu: <xmj> You wouldn't think a city like this would be allowed in a EU, EURO, OECD, "Western Hemisphere" country. << for srs.
mircea_popescu: pankkake> when you don't see the score, you actually have to use your brain << so by this theory showing the aspirants on tv is harmful for elections ?
mircea_popescu: then you're voiced for as long as you don't split (even if you lose id)
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> where did the 'mpoe-pr is a sham' fixation come from? << perhaps from the "women can't exist" notion of your average basement dweller ?
mircea_popescu: <fluffypony> some of my comments on Reddit re: the MP death threat got downvoted << how to know you got too much free time
mircea_popescu: bloody ft loading > 200 elements per page what in the loving fuck
mircea_popescu: <punkman> pankkake: probably a good idea for a franchise, small showroom with keyboards, mice and chairs <<< this IS a good idea. san diego or thereaboutds.
mircea_popescu: that aside, considering their burn rate and revenue stream... it'd be a miracle if twitter survives any of us here present. but then again, i don't imagine it was seriously made to last.
mircea_popescu: they get whatever they figure they're getting. so it's a win- win.
mircea_popescu: i don't have to keep adding rel="nofollow" on links and process their dumbass format into something quotable.
mircea_popescu: that thing is a zombie, been reinvented as "high tech" each coupla decades since 1950
mircea_popescu: but then people who use ipads think they're computer users
mircea_popescu: so if you're one of those people that goes leftarrowleftarrowleftarrowleftarrowleftarrowleftarrowleftarrowleftarrowleftarrow instead of ctrl-left arrow say.
