mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, ahahaha, is that a locomotive temple to my penis ?
mircea_popescu: (the bottle of venezuelan rum, btw, has been a standard mandatory for the car for a year now)
mircea_popescu: and a bottle of rum
ben_vulpes pictures mircea_popescu and crew in a unimog
mircea_popescu: charcoal sack is now a mandatory car trunk item. at the rate i'm going i might actually next buy a truck.
trinque had a nice outing with the girl once, drove 4runner out onto the beach, fucked the night away, cooked breakfast in a fire-pit we made
mircea_popescu: however a) they build out of steel beams and brick and b) they're built out of solid "don't give a fuck". so...
mircea_popescu: b) go to the beach, want to start a fire ? by all means. wanna make a fire in your yard ? yes please. is there a fire going ? cool!
mircea_popescu: the very relaxed attitude to fire among these people is a joy to behold. a) anyone can start a lawn fire at any time they feel like, and there's daily sirens from firetrucks rushing to reign in the more successful attempts.
ben_vulpes has been drawing up plans for a permanent gas/charcoal combo griller
mircea_popescu: i am a convert to the method.
mircea_popescu: well... the way they do it here is that you take it out to the "rancho" (basically, concrete poles with a roof) and charcoal it there.
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: nono, i exaggerate, grossly. that said, i haven't figured out how to bake a chicken without a cloud of chicken-scent emerging and permeating the domus on every basting.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes, for the record, if your place needs evacuation every time girl fries something you might consider a) getting better oil and b) not smoking the shit out of it.
asciilifeform: it is a curable condition. ( but not quickly, and not painlessly )
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes, odds are very much no women cooking in his life. it is universally my experience esl girls do not even conceptuialize such a miracle as "make your own food" is possible.
ben_vulpes: anyone have a grahamnews account? submit the phuctoring?
a111: Logged on 2014-11-15 00:28 asciilifeform: one would read instructions. another, turn a wrench, whatever. third would check that 2 corresponds to 1. then, all three sign under that step in recipe.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, they came on a signature form thing though! http://btcbase.org/log/2014-11-15#922644 ☝︎
asciilifeform: hm i misremembered, the most famous incident, in kramatorsk ('80s) involved a cs-137 brick.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: aaa the radar thing. funny story with these, the old-world version of this was the gamma-radiograph. in su they used them to evaluate cured cement prior to finishing a block of flat. aaand sometimes they'd forget the sr-90 brick inside the wall, and roast several generations of tenants ☟︎
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: i'll do you one just a hair more ridiculous: this place has a whole-house evacuator that "well you can just run the whole-house fan when you're cooking!"
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: believe or not, none of the places i've ever lived in, had a 'honest' kitchen exhaust (i.e. with actual pipe to the outside world)
ben_vulpes: (how the kitchen came to be without a hood is a mystery i do not think i shall ever understand, given that the dood ran cat5 and coax to every room. what, no women cooking in his life or something?)
ben_vulpes: interesting; i've got to install a hood in the kitchen; so will learn the truth without any electronics.
asciilifeform: what does such a thing do ? or is this the mechanized dowsing rod thing
mircea_popescu: ridoinculous beeping doohickey, too. i was like "so... is it a boy ?"
asciilifeform: danielpbarron: '... and a bunch of Neet employees (probably used the same weak tool)' << waaat
ben_vulpes: ohay is there a crackernyooz link?
mircea_popescu: christ on a cracker, the e=3 n=4096 bit key. who makes such things.
asciilifeform: and, interestingly, ~not~ all antiques, a great many e.g. 4096-bit ones
danielpbarron: Victims include developers at big companies such as Microsoft, Facebook, Eventbrite, and a bunch of Neet employees (probably used the same weak tool) << Guy thinks "neet" is a company?
mircea_popescu: a forgotten art, this, to match heating speed of materials with day length.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: they're building a buncha communal flats over here, they all get decorative fauxbrick panels over the gypsum
mircea_popescu: in strict, physical terms. i can peel a coupla bills off the roll way before anyone can a) take the card b) orient it to machine slit ; c) slide it through ; d) wait for data to run back and forth to visa servers (include here the pro-rated delay of "servers down" shenanigans) ; e) get me to "sign" like 1100 period barbarians the f) slip of paper it printed and spit out etc. ☟︎
a111: Logged on 2018-05-11 15:42 mircea_popescu: "the RSA supercollider and numerical observatory" << ahahaha i like this. a numerical observatory.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> funnily enuff i got stuck behind one of these in a little shop in BingoBoingostan : the lulz was in that the modem in the register was slow enuff that cc folx were ~slower~ than ones paying with ordinary money << Serious quality of life issue here. The awful part is the locals CAN'T learn to use the pin pads and have to try 3+ times
asciilifeform: cubicle hells still cement, for nao, but i already spotted a few new constructions with gypsum outer walls
mircea_popescu: so what, buildng a great country of 90% dormitories and 10% "1, mccain memorial law enforcement monumental avenue" cubical concrete abominations ?
asciilifeform: ( and if you are certain places, like petrol station, you will stand for 20+min in a queue which cc users never see )
asciilifeform: funnily enuff i got stuck behind one of these in a little shop in BingoBoingostan : the lulz was in that the modem in the register was slow enuff that cc folx were ~slower~ than ones paying with ordinary money
mircea_popescu: well, this is then what even gets one out of bed in the morning : the hope shining through the dread, that even should something from years ago have to be reviewed on grounds of suspected stupidity, there's a shot it may turn out to have actually been quite correct.
mircea_popescu: the impossibility of mechanical friendship isn't case by case, it's a fundamental problem.
mircea_popescu: basically, exactly like you say, we have a personhood mechanism, it'll have to be used. can't sit down and "make a mechanical friend JUST FOR THIS ONE CASE"
mircea_popescu: it just creates a pile of counterproductive complexity.
asciilifeform: it made for a monumental pile of dysfunctional moving parts.
mircea_popescu: what gpg tried to do is somehow kludge a whole working republic into their early prototype key "ecosystem". it didn't work in practice, but that aside, it's not actually useful.
asciilifeform: also the term 'self signature' as used in kochiana/rfc2440/4880 world , is misleading : if all that were signed were a modulus, one could trivially produce 'self sig' for any modulus/exponent that satisfy the rsa equation, incl. ones generated on the spot. 'self sig' in gpg world is simply attempt to tie commentstrings to keys.
asciilifeform: i seem to recall a thread where mircea_popescu convincingly described 'self signatures are meaningless'
mircea_popescu: my only concern here is whether this actually invalidates the e, N, comment republican format, as a rsa key format.
mircea_popescu: te as a thing-in-itself.
a111: Logged on 2018-05-11 13:46 asciilifeform: nao ! at some point i'ma rewrite it. again. and build it around 'naked' rsa moduli, and with variant types of indices, etc. but i have nfi when i will get a chance to do this.
mircea_popescu: it's not entirely a spurious desire.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-05-11#1812165 << so basically the idea here is "ssh keys are not self signed". still though, the usecase is this : guy ssh-gens a key, wants to see if openssl fucked him. ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2018-05-11 13:43 asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-05-11#1812141 << phuctor was written very tightly around indexing pgp keys, and demands that all keys be indexable in the same ways ( by e.g. gpg-compat fingerprint ) . additionally , it demands that all keys have a human-readable legend, and ssh key format does not give any field for such.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-05-11#1812163 << are you saying basically that your indexing of keys depends on spurious metadata that's unrelated to the keys ? anyway, ssh key has a comment field implicit, people often drop an email in there say. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: "the RSA supercollider and numerical observatory" << ahahaha i like this. a numerical observatory. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: i suspect they were wondering whether there's a dylsexic agnostic insomniac.
mircea_popescu: if hilarity ran for exponent, she'd be a one.
mircea_popescu: lol. 1 makes such a great exponent.
asciilifeform: ( there's a few keys with outlandishly huge ones; and even 1 with exponent of... 1 )
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: at some near future point i'ma put in a 'strange exponents' zoo
a111: Logged on 2018-05-11 09:42 ave1: I have a key with e==35! This one was generated 9 years ago on a redhat linux of that period.
mircea_popescu: diana_coman, for a while 35 was actually the default exponent in the circus circle.
lobbesbot: spyked: Sent 47 minutes ago: <asciilifeform> this script takes the format used in jurov's 'phathub' 2016 collection, and produces set of phuctor-compatible keys. do not forget to specify 'legend', the user string, to identify precisely what the key is, otherwise it will remain a mystery forever to reader

a111: Logged on 2016-05-20 18:00 asciilifeform: try to understand how special cases make complexity of a proggy explode.

diana_coman: BingoBoingo, typos "definte" in http://qntra.net/2018/05/revived-phuctor-breaks-a-big-pile-of-github-developer-ssh-keys-in-return/ and "continuing escaltion " + "Not content to the the big" in http://qntra.net/2018/05/largest-israeli-missile-barrage-in-7-years-of-syrian-war-aggresses-against-iranian-positions/;

BingoBoingo: Holy shit, I wake up with FAR less crackling in my lungs AND a milestone on the path to reddit bags for the reading!
ave1: I have a key with e==35! This one was generated 9 years ago on a redhat linux of that period. ☟︎☟︎
diana_coman: so much weird in that set re key generation; many seem to have e=35 which sounds like one step further from "we like 37" (so why not 35, it's a number just as good as 37!)
mircea_popescu: in other lulz, phuctor acts as a de facto ssh to gpg bridge now, can download the gpg style keys.
a111: Logged on 2018-05-10 18:40 mircea_popescu: meanwhile lulzdraft upgraded with a "i think i know his mom", also. ima go have lunch, this is a monster.
mircea_popescu: ave1, if you feel like taking a break from diddling ada, feel free to walk the github/bitbucket/we db. spit out keys in the republican format ( http://btcbase.org/log/2016-05-20#1469647 ). it'll take a day or two to put in, and the chances of the new set being devoid of lulz are ~0. ☝︎
ave1: For example, https://api.github.com/users/rimolive/keys, has a list of keys, but not the one phunctored. For others the list is simply empty
mircea_popescu: lobbes : curl --cookie "__cfduid=dd16c67421dbb9d1705d6bf28b3fa898c1525574538" -A "TMSR fucks cloudflare" http://archive.today/download/AvNme.zip > AvNme.zip ☟︎
lobbes: hell, the rockchip may even suffice for a prototype if anything
lobbes: But, once I learn to properly represent www as ASTs we can have the beginnings of a proper republican archive
lobbes: yup. was a bitch to get around
mircea_popescu: ie, not ~exactly~ "picked a random number, tested for no primalities". but biased source.
a111: Logged on 2018-05-11 04:11 mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, here's a suspicious : so many of these tards have known factors like 2, 3, 5 -- showing there was ~no primality test involved. isn't it bizarre we don't see other factors then, say 111 ?
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: adrian popa entry has a random https://archive.is/ string
ben_vulpes: are ukeleles the instrument for people both too poor for a piano and lazy to learn guitar?

asciilifeform: ( at some point we do a refresh )
mircea_popescu: mod6, hit a reload ?
asciilifeform: bahaha fortunately db is o(n log n) nao, since each time mircea_popescu fixes a typo, his wptron loads all 193 keyz...
mod6: they go cascading from left to right, looks ok but when you get down to 'jgabrielygalan' there is a funny looking wrap where 'key: 1' is left most justified.
a111: Logged on 2018-05-09 19:21 asciilifeform: hey mircea_popescu ( or anybody else ) do you happen to have a script handy for mass submission of links to archive.is ?
ben_vulpes: esthlos: i made a gensym dir in /tmp, passed that to gpg for the workdir, and then various operations take a teardown key, defaulting to true which could be overriden to inspect keyring state should the operator so desire
a111: Logged on 2018-05-08 15:34 ben_vulpes: use a tempdir for gnupg's keyring; thing must be stateless.
esthlos: trinque asciilifeform phf etc: what's the best way to deal with sbcl's package lock error when redefining run-program? my naive approach was to define a new package for the vtron. But I'm pounding my head against use-package anyway
a111: Logged on 2018-05-09 18:36 hanbot: esthlos : your blog's comments are borkt (commenter sees 'Error: please fill the required fields (name, email).' despite entering fields), see the "edit" here for the fix http://thewhet.net/2017/10/a-compendium-of-possibly-helpful-stuffs-for-erecting-mircea-popescus-wordpress-with-nearly-free-speech-hosting/
asciilifeform: 'Current fortran code to calculate neutron skin thicknesses with a variety of NEDF and carry out bootstrap analysis' << notbad ( from luserlist )
mircea_popescu: in other news, irc apparently works a lot better than twitter at being twitter. who could have predicted.
mircea_popescu: aand we got a... 3 digit github user. (obviously, github user db trivially ennumerable). not even high 3 digit, at that.
