a winning idea. GTFO.
ben_vulpes: douchebag: until you wrap your head around what goes on here, you're going to be fighting this negative impression where you insist that you're smart and educated etc, just...not in any topics that anyone here cares about eg trb as
a basis for murdering the megastate and all barnacles like ecommerce/ssl/securitycircus hanging off the side
ben_vulpes: also i don't give one watt of credence to this 'no time' thing; i've read logs daily for what, four years? started and sold out of
a company, had more than one 'job' at points, manage
a family and still keep up and contribute
shinohai: >Can't be annoyed to read logs, yet "can sit in front of computer 36 hours straight researching
a specific topic"
ben_vulpes: douchebag: you did just get
a link to trb
douchebag: mod6: not in full, I don't have
a ton of time on my hands to read 6 months of logs
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-03-22#1788651 << amusingly enough, i'm probably
a better "website security" dood than you, if that's what you mean, or at least so the folk in the know believe, on the strenght of the various website fuckings / wp ddos writeups etc i've piled up over the years. but this is
a little like disputing the sackrunning competition.
☝︎ mircea_popescu: douchebag no, actually : we are explicit about the [little] we feel good about ourselves. the "alternative" such as it misrepresents itself, is very successfully implicit about how [grandiosely] it feels good about itself. but somehow you don't go up to some clueless dork pretending to run
a "security business" and be "your boss" and ask him whence he feels that insanely overstretchedkly good about himself. for SOME reason.
douchebag: but instead you jerkoffs just told me to write
a v implementation
a111: Logged on 2018-01-23 06:43 douchebag: I can sit in front of my computer for 36 hours straight researching
a specific topic
mircea_popescu: douchebag this is not unlike becoming
a dermatologist because most people have skin.
douchebag: ben_vulpes: It's interesting to me, and considering pretty much any large company or organization has
a web application in their infrastructure I feel like it's
a pretty good area to focus on in terms of security research.
shinohai: Here I thougt one got
a certificate in monology
a111: Logged on 2018-03-08 21:29 mircea_popescu: meditation upon
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-03-08#1787343 yields the interesting result that problem spaces are not continuous. problem spaces are discrete, and there exists such
a thing as problem spans.
douchebag: I also work for
a security firm at the moment.
mircea_popescu: should however same kid in same situation describe anal beads with nubbins on them and other arcana 13yo kids notably (and notedly, throughout history of civilisation) can NOT on their own come up with, psychologist similarily has
a solid child abuse referral case.
ben_vulpes: in unrelated "mouths of babes", "what's daddy doing? having
a penis?" "every day, kiddo"
mircea_popescu: douchebag if 13 yo kid comes to psychologist's office because insomnia, and after some hymenlick maneouvering on the part of the professional comes out with the story that has "terrifying and disturbing dreams", thereuponwhich recounts numerous instances of dreamed tits, nipples and areola but 0 clits, labia or vaginal openings, the psychologist can safely thereby infer 13yo kid is
a virgin.
☟︎ douchebag: Where did you get this notion that I am
a 'metasploit crank-puller'
ben_vulpes: your own research targets in which case you're
a man and can make your own decisions or you need orders and will be told what to do. picking your own targets is an act of *creativity*, which i muchly doubt i'll see much of from
a metasploit crank-puller. as it stands i don't really expect you to do anything but it's
a low bar and
a single task to show me wrong.
ben_vulpes:
http://logs.bvulpes.com/trilema?d=2018-3-22#317063 << you showed up, said 'help, what do i do', and i said 'go, son, and this thing.' it's
a severalfold test: can you wrap your head around the concepts in v? can you take orders when you ask for them? it's
a layered pile of crash course in not flunking out of the republic. in re 'what am i expected to do', look either you eventually grow up and start picking
mircea_popescu: the unsustainable, unacceptable etc systematically misrepresented to them as socially acceptable, the necessary, correct etc equally systematically misrepresented as socially unacceptable... it's true that this is grade
A child abuse, but then again it's also true the children so abused carry on the sad smoldering stumps of what's left of their lives
☟︎ mod6: I've said this to others, I'm sure, that before even contemplating writing
a V, you should be well versed in it ~use~.
douchebag: For instance, what you mentioned in regards to XSS. XSS is the sort of thing that would have little to no impact on
a site like trilema.com
douchebag: That was
a plan of mine to do later down the road
douchebag: Also, I would be interested in starting
a security firm
diana_coman: there are plenty of vpatches around - have
a look at them for "what
a vpatch is"
douchebag: I literally do not understand anything. I don't know what
a vpatch is or anything. The concept just does not make sense
diana_coman: douchebag, write somewhere
a summary of what you understand of it and what you don't - it will help you formulate some clear questions to...ask in here, so people can help you understand
douchebag: I don't understand what
a V is I have read about it, I have looked at examples and I still don't understand
☟︎ diana_coman: douchebag, why do you concern yourself with what other people do or not do *after* something you didn't even yet do; it's
a recipe for insanity this
douchebag: diana_coman: I agree with you. The reason I'm
a bit hesitant is because I know what I'm not good at. I know how to code, I write code almost every single day. However, I don't code for the same reasons most people do
diana_coman: douchebag, learning something is never
a waste of time; and learning what you "are not good at" is quite doubly NOT
a waste of time; "outcome" as you currently define it doesn't enter into it at all; and for that matter:
http://trilema.com/2015/causes-and-purposes/ a111: Logged on 2018-03-22 10:46 mircea_popescu: because you're sitting there waiting for reality to change so it may be admitted in yoru movie. that's not how reality works, though there's
a bunch of people still waiting for bitcoin to be what they thought of it, back in 2015 or 2013 or 2011 or w/e the fuck they first heard of it, formed
a fantasy and adhered to it.
douchebag: Like I said, I would like to help. I know how to code but I would be much better at helping w/ security related topics. I would not want to write
a V just to find out that the only way for me to help would be for me to code stuff
douchebag: Okay, and suppose I do write
a V. What's next?
mircea_popescu: because you're sitting there waiting for reality to change so it may be admitted in yoru movie. that's not how reality works, though there's

☟︎ douchebag: I'd like to be helpful, I am generally
a pretty helpful person. However, I just feel like I could be of more use if I focused on something I'm better suited to help with
mircea_popescu: the whole point, not just of the "write
a v" task, but of the republic altogether, is to make this sort of non-thinking you're going for both ridiculous and impossible.
douchebag: Alright, I still haven't written
a V implementation. I would like to help, however programming is not my main area of expertise. I feel like writing
a V implementation would not waste my time, but yours as well considering d
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: "no resolve" sounds like
a side effect of the DNS settings allowing NFS to do its thing not pointing at an NFS doing its thing as advertised
hanbot: it's not even the shitpay hook or the nonsupport in themselves, abhorrent as they are. it's their marriage, wtf is "maybe not reallybut" doing in
a yes/no switch.
mircea_popescu: very much
a case of ye olde "i'll gladly spend thousands to fuck you up if you're not willing to take pennies to suck my cock". makes perfect sense, dunnit ?
hanbot: so nearlyfreespeech hosting's insistence on using buttpay plays out like so: thewhet.net is offline, i can't make
a payment to get it back online (precious addy must stay at home and hide under the blankets!!1), and i can't talk to 'em, cause low and behold the support subscription (which i'd been paying for for many months) expired so my ticket is pegged for the trash, please pay to talk into the clownmouth.
mircea_popescu: in other random, shopping girl returns bearing shopping items ; among there included,
a plunger.
ben_vulpes: "queen of the south" album cover bears
a striking resemblance to pussy
mircea_popescu: "Like
a bad ass she is, she proved to be wise beyond her years by standing head and shoulders (Or is it ass-tall) with the boys." doesn't even INTEND irony, you realise.
☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: ("sir" wicknell is
a legitimate us/ru-style businessman, zimbabwe govt also "awards" contracts)
mircea_popescu: dude... why is item with children with by three fathers not chained to
a post somewhere. wtf get it off the internets.
mircea_popescu: if this doesn't have
a strong perfume of original hackertude about it i dunno what does.
BingoBoingo: Now the determination to refer to the discoverer as
a child is related to his doing interesting things without
a WoT presence, not because the fellow says he is 15
a111: Logged on 2016-02-21 02:14 mircea_popescu: (and for the record i will point out that tlp is anglotard enough to miss most of the substance. there's perfecty good reason everyone painted the same god damned vase with two apples next to it, and this has little do to with "you're not boring son ok" and
a lot of fucking things to do with ... damn, where's that thread about ther ancient battlefield ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: after having idiots driven through the deserts for 20 years over at "secret labs", something like EC is
a necessary byproduct just for the sake of maintaining whatever shreds of sanity.
mircea_popescu: in fact and rather transparently, the whole "secret curve" pseudocryptography is
a direct result of all the nsa time spent chasing those
a and b (no b doesn't HAVE TO BE 2, just as long as you know how you round it can also be
a real)
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform incidentally this is exactly the general formula i'd expect of nsa sponsored holes in rsa. p =
a * x ^ b
a111: Logged on 2018-03-08 00:21 mircea_popescu: this entire exercise in idiocy has, practically speaking, resulted in me paying various hard working ticos
a grand or so, to the people fucking in the ass the "security" paradigm of pantsuit.fetlife. IN LIEU of having paid that much, and rather more, to the fetlife itself.
☟︎ mircea_popescu has seen some tourists over the arbitrary weekend and it's given me
a right and proper crise de la foie.
mircea_popescu: go talk to
a girl and ping
a blog, motherfuckers, jesus fucking christ on
a cracker they LIED TO YOU, it's immoral NOT TO! you don't catch anything from sticking it into the wet sight unseen.
mircea_popescu: what i would REALLY like would be
a pill whereby something spawned forth by cunt speaking english is NO LONGER this fundamentally idiotic moron who simply can not engage the world.
mircea_popescu: point in case -- you think you can curate by hand
a list of friends, yet your "blogroll" is perpetually out of date ; i don't have one nor ever had one for this exact reason, i ain't handcurating jack.
mircea_popescu: the disadvantage, of course, is that you have to now police
a private, hand-cobbled dns, because ips change.
mircea_popescu: now, if xmlrpc.php had
a whitelist, something as simple as
a htaccess deny from all allow from x, this whole idiocy would go away.
mircea_popescu: as
a result, trilema answers xmlrpc.php calls to the tune of ten
a second every second, every day of every week of ever year. there's many many millions each month, no exception to date.
mircea_popescu: this advantage is however massively moderated by the sheer lunatic imbecility of english speakers, whereby i do not think it has happened yet that five people actually linked to an article on trilema without prior arrangement, such as their having
a wot presence etc. there's one exception that comes to mind, some dood running
a "dark underground" or w/e blog. this OVER TEN YEARS nigh on.

a bug but
a feature, something in the vein of "if you deliberately break the lock on your mailbox, you may miss out on some mail, it's true, but you can always claim in court you never got their papers" or such).
mircea_popescu: server load soem deisgnated victim's pages for
a cost of one ~100 byte packet.

☝︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: this isn't
a rational, reality-bound, economics-driven process, after all. pure hallucinatoria, just add verbiage.
ave1: no problem! I'm working on
a command line tool with eucrypt and I keep hitting my head against seemingly strange code. Which needs to be read and re-read, and then checked.
ave1: So the filter needs to be adjusted

ben_vulpes: node that mimisbrunnr is attached to is wedged in an interesting state, going to see about
a dump with gdb tomorrow
diana_coman: mod6, my node has been reliably in sync (at the top) for
a while; it lives (and will live) at 103.36.92.112
lobbes: which, incidentally, I'm going to need to add
a hack to the archive-submit process in order to bypass. Currently is impeding the bot from auto re-archiving recently archived items
lobbes: yeah, and it pops up
a nice 'dynamic' message asking you if you reallly want to re-archive
