asciilifeform: i suspect that the suitcase method only beats the 22% vig if 2-3 machines at a time are moved
mod6: lol, i've not "formally" started it. I have however, looked through most of 1, 2, 3, and 4. Did the homework for ffa_calc. But again, not enough to say "I've done it. Lemme sign."
spyked took a look through how mod_security does user agent-based filtering and stumbled upon http://archive.is/ELI4u#selection-1478.0-1518.2 lulz; no idea how a programmatically-generated string can be botched up just like that.
asciilifeform: i could've sworn i saw it 2-3y ago
mircea_popescu: it's very solvable as stated, but not mechanically. "1. figure out v ; 2. press pehbot ; 3. say intelligent things about it." "intelligent according to whom ?" "intelligent according to me" "how am i supposed to cheat this ?!" "you aren't."
mircea_popescu: imo a fabulous textbook example of how the imperial vulnerability cycle goes. 1. make a bad spec, a la SMGL ; 2. implement some portions of it only, because http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-25#1776189 ; 3. discover the bad spec is vulnerable, issue "best practices" for people to "santize". obviously this will not be made by 1 if 2 wasn't, so... 4) implement slightly more of the spec, throw security in disarray. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform there's two fundamental items i can readily identify, maybe more. 1. i actually did plop an echo $_GET in there. is this just bad coding ? is it a legitimate assumption ? 2. he has a point, as long as it's on trilema.com, a script has powers OUTSIDE of its implicit scope, "steal cookies" whatever. is this ~actually~ bad systems design ?
mircea_popescu: ah, yeah. http://trilema.com/2014/ill-pay-for-your-tits/#selection-309.2-309.31 in case anyone's missed it.
mircea_popescu: it's a fork off 2.7 wp trunk iirc.
douchebag: Well, I still have to wait until they patch them before they reward the bounty. They pay based on likelyhood/impact, now a friend of mine reported a vulnerability less serious than the one I found and he was rewarded $2,000 total
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i am well persuaded http://trilema.com/2014/the-woes-of-altcoin-or-why-there-is-no-such-thing-as-cryptocurrencies/#footnote_2_56073 was actually satoshi's nobel/oppenheimer moment. "o noes, this is bad because i have not the balls to live!"
mircea_popescu: 2 was not actually stated by anyone, i'm just saying for the record.
mircea_popescu: both 1 and 2 seem a rather "we'll fix the car by retrofitting horse carriage to it"
mircea_popescu: 1. the idea to have "changelog only" patches as a signature device is a major departure from how v worked previously, it semanticizes an item that we only recently even introduced ; 2. the idea to have patches that are deliberately non-compliant so "they won't be mainline" is a solution to what i thought an inexistend problem -- why not maintain special "experumental" keys for the purpose instead, l;ike sane people ?
trinque: naw, 1 input, 2 outputs
mircea_popescu: shinohai basically it's "for as long as your secret service powered nonsense gets 2% of the vote, you can go jump in the lake". the (obviously transparent) implication being that secret services principally exist as usg influence agents these days, and are getting beheaded pretty much everywhere, from myanmar to galicia and from gdansk to bucharest.

spyked: (ftr, /me got his first ubuntu cd "for free" at a "computer conference" mid-2000s; fortunately, his first linux install was a red hat at a now defunct internet cafe in bucharest; to this day I have no idea why they wanted me to install that, 90% of the people went there for "counter strike", the other 10% for diablo 2)

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-23#1774662 << exactly this. some people grasp the lesson after reading ; some -- after 1, 2, 3, however many failed corps and debts and 100% wasted productive years of life and etc ☝︎
mircea_popescu: in other news, it's so great that you can take a 2 year old article and it's actually fucking useful. but -- a point i think wasn't mentioned and it's a pity : i ~really~ like ben_vulpes code indentation style. those bars.

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-22#1774399 << entirely separate concerns. as to 1, yes, we all have repeated conversations with alf in this vein, i dunno what exactly to do about it ; 2. the quality of your killshot was poor, and it is my theory that this is because the sort of topic would greatly benefit from the cohesive power of an article ; nothing to do with log not being canon, but a matter of collected convenience. ☝︎

a111: Logged on 2018-01-22 14:23 caaddr: GNATMAKE 4.9.2 is the answer to the now redundant question. I'll use adacore instead. I had avoided this because it contains precompiled binaries, with no independent reproducible build certification
a111: Logged on 2018-01-22 14:22 asciilifeform: this would seem to create the unpleasant situation of having just 1 adatron. but it is not clear to me that there ever were 2. there was only adacore and broken-adacore (aka gcc-gnat)

mircea_popescu: 2. if i upload items, i'd very much like to use the already extant uploader ; but that thing puts everything in year/month directories. tho i think this is actually a good thing, tell people "do not link item directly, link the code shelf itself".

asciilifeform: or for another example, take the ugliness and 'pointericity' of the traditional 'pivoting' form of karatsuba. which i killed by forcing all FZ bitnesses to be powers of 2.
apeloyee: "1) ugly" << can't see that.; "2) ... it relies on type ranges for good chunk of the proofolade"<< if you really want, can explicitly declare a subtype of Stack_Positions, omitting 0 from it
asciilifeform: this is true. but 1) ugly 2) possibly will get in the way of sparkism, later; it relies on type ranges for good chunk of the proofolade
asciilifeform: one way i considered doing this, is to do away with all such things as 'SP - 1', 'SP - 2', etc. and instead to have e.g. Get_Stack_First, Get_Stack_Second, etc., each of which individually would ensure that the desired element exists. but these would have to return 'access type' (pointers) which thus far i've avoided using .
apeloyee: Hear, hear! If asciilifeform would agree to take discussion of why 1+1=2 elsewhere, I'll do.

asciilifeform: nifty little printer, except 1) the 'dip switches' are imaginary. instead it wastes 2 metres of paper on interactively querying you for config, when you want to reconfig it ( when new , pretty much , i dun see why ever a second time ) and 2) tear bar instead of cutter, is annoying imho.
asciilifeform: phf: not much room to work in, any moar, either -- new crapple iron is aluminum box with 2 custom chips, a custom prismatic li-po cell, and buncha epoxy
BingoBoingo: If you sell an Argentine peso you get 1.2 Uruguayan pesos. To buy Argentine pesos requires 1.8 Uruguayan pesos.

asciilifeform: an oaep (or similar scheme) ciphertron rests on 2 elephants : strength of rsa, and strength of the (voodoo) hash.
asciilifeform: ( in fact, if we had a decent prime-constructor, 'cut it in half and multiply the 2 large primes you get , 1 from each half' would be a decent hash for such use )
