ben_vulpes: stained
the neilmed squeeze bottle yellow
ben_vulpes: once upon a
time (when i still got sick, before i brought my own disease vector into
the house) i dissolved some curcumin into
the saline solution
ben_vulpes: BingoBoingo: yup.
totally sterile,
the way god intended it be.
ben_vulpes: ascii_field: i have *just* (as in
the past week) located my wot's signal analyzer
ben_vulpes: BingoBoingo:
they come in saline-under-co2-in-a-can versions
BingoBoingo: Ah, but you have a catecholamine drug in
the
tea!
That's
the secret!
jurov: and i don't have ephedrine in
these pills
BingoBoingo: Ah, if I break down and sign my name
to
the list I'll prolly get cetirizine + pseudoephedrine but I dunno what
that
tea is
jurov: and
the
tea is expensive,
tho
jurov: luckily i so far did not need meth precursors, only *cetizine pills and benifuki
tea
BingoBoingo: Apparently brewing an immediate pseudophedrine precursor (With Yeast and Dextrose!) isn't
too bad. Maybe
there's some way
to astroturf
the hippies into promoting "natural" pseudoephedrine brewing
BingoBoingo: And no. A fucking neti pot is not an option because I'm not a hippy and I don't want fucking brain parasites because
this is
the
third world.
BingoBoingo: Seriously. My choices
to avoid mouthbreathing until
this
things resolves are 1. Sign my name
to
the methlist 2. Placebo 3.
Topical spray
that can't reach site of action because of cold related fluid build up
mircea_popescu: at some point
this'll have
to be systematized, ain't nobody got
time
to keep
track of all
the retarded arbitrary shit.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: if you
think "the patriarchy" is causing "global warming", you go on
the foodstamp list. if you
think government is causing
the decay of society, you get on
the no
travel list.
mircea_popescu: if you're a 20something woman working in an office and you
think you might have been raped by a 50 something outdoors
type of guy, poor you. if you're a 50something outdoors
type of guy and
think you might have been raped by a 20something irs office drone, fuck you.
mircea_popescu: if you're
trying
to get an abortion, yay! if you're
trying
to buy a gun BOO!!!
mircea_popescu: if you
think you're "transsexual"
that's a protected class. if you got allergies, fuck you.
mircea_popescu: heh.
the lulzy
this yes
that no selection
the usg does.
ascii_field: but i pasted
the link because APPARENTLY
THIS IS
the state of
the art
ascii_field: if anyone actually gets
this
to work, please say.
ascii_field: ... aaaand it doesn't seem
to actually work
mircea_popescu: war was won by romanian
troops with russian auxiliaries under romanian command. so HA!
mircea_popescu: „Turcii, adunând cele mai mari mase de
trupe la Plevna, ne zdrobesc. Rog să faci fusiune, demonstrațiune și, dacă se poate, să
treci Dunărea cu armata după cum dorești. Între Jiu și Corabia demonstrațiunea aceasta este neapărat necesară pentru înlesnirea mișcărilor mele.” etc.
hanbot: BingoBoingo from mp's latest qntra lulz, "has moved on
to playing with
the
the little rocks", double-the.
mircea_popescu: ascii_field what do you
think happened in
teh
turk-russian war ?
trinque: hm. on
the other side, Crimea is a bit closer
to Ankara isn't it.
mircea_popescu: except
there's no romania around
to save
the russians' butt
this
time
trinque: they also
tweeted something about it a few days ago
trinque: there's mention of freenode ddos in
teh logz
trinque: ascii_field: it has; in
this case reconnected as deedbot-- but could not auth
BingoBoingo: ascii_field: mebbe deedbot is afraid of
the gossipd similarity
to usenet? Fears #b-a.tasteless?
mircea_popescu: no, it's not "the internet". it's
the usenet/bbs/forum model.
mircea_popescu: the only problem with
that
thing is
that IT makes emotion unreadable
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: sorta like
the difference between meat chess and epistolary chess
ascii_field actually prefers usenet-style conversation, and was resistant
to b-a-ization initially because of it
mircea_popescu: thinking about it
twitter is particularly apt for
this job.
mircea_popescu: should be
there in days rather
than yerars, yes. should be
there in microseconds rather
than seconds ? mno.
mircea_popescu: if anything real-time is
truly DETRIMENTAL, if my mpex and our ba experience has
taught us anything.
ascii_field: and
the passive nodes are kept abreast of
the 'drop site' list
ascii_field: this is sorta like blockchain
telegraph - works great if you don't need frequent/real-time updates
mircea_popescu: the alternative is susceptible
to filtering on infrastructure you don't own.
mircea_popescu: to put
this morning's set of realisations in a simple, clear package : making a battleship is nowhere near as good as making a battleship out of ustard decapitated heads.
ascii_field: one of
the caveats is
that 'pull'-anything is susceptible
to engineered slowdown
ascii_field: not
to mention
the www stack (apache et all) is a massive
turd
mircea_popescu: you can use fucking
twitter for all
the difference it makes.
mircea_popescu: nobody cares if "fall over" because
there's so damned many of
them.
mircea_popescu: leaving aside
the
theory.
the model here contemplated is actually workable.
ascii_field: but 'handful of servers' is what we have
today, and it falls over when enemy so much as sneezes at it.
mircea_popescu: is both a lot more feasible and way cheaper
than
the alternative "we'll lay our own cable fu"
mircea_popescu: looky. a gossipd based on
the concept
that you keep firewalled clients at home and
they connect
to a random pile of websites, which simply respond with pgp -w
text
ascii_field: and permits all-comers
to cost you memory (for however short a
time) and not only cpu cycles.
ascii_field: regardless of why or form whom he accepts
them.
ascii_field: whoever accepts
tcp connections is ddosable.
ascii_field: then
to whom do you intend
to make outbound connection ?
ascii_field: because a node of whom you are not a friend ought not
to be distinguishable in any way whatsoever from an empty wall socket.
ascii_field: ~connections~ are idiocy and ought
to be dispensed with entirely.
ascii_field: ~somebody~ has
to permit inbound. and he's
the ddos
target.
ascii_field: i
told him 'try feeding nulls
through aes with null iv and pipe into ent'
mircea_popescu: he could get 8.5 bts/byte from urandom for
the same money.
ascii_field: he asked 'i get 7.9999999 bts/byte from urandom, why not from yours' and we had a chat about
the idiocy of whitening
ascii_field: btw i had a fella ask me about rng at a job interview
thing
ascii_field: iirc i even left one of
the chaps with a suitable plug
mircea_popescu: so far we're mostly finding novel ways
to use up entropy we don't really have.
jurov: i'd do it like - with every party agree on a different corpus
to be fed
to shannonizer
mircea_popescu: one could in principle do exactly what FM does
to radio waves.
ascii_field: my ancient version of
this used a modulated shannonizer
mircea_popescu: which is
to say : it provides a clean, standard interface
that preserves personal and various
thing entirely.
mircea_popescu: i suppose here wins. anyway :
the proposed scheme has exactly
the advantage of alphabet
ascii_field: imho stego by its very nature ought
to be a personal and various
thing
