asciilifeform: phf: i saw maltron for first and last time in 1980s-era b00k on 'fun of computing' or sumthing
a111: Logged on 2017-06-27 05:12 phf: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-06-27#1674891 << i've been using that one for a while, with a https://www.amazon.com/CST2545-L-Trac-Wired-Performance-Trackball/dp/B00EEFK5QQ trackball in the middle. i'm pretty happy with that setup. i've figured out how to get the firmware out of the controller, so i'm hoping to customize some of the keys (that are otherwise useless)
asciilifeform: phf: i posted one of these for 'p' recently
asciilifeform: phf: out of what didja make the rsa ?
a111: Logged on 2017-06-27 00:54 asciilifeform: phf has a very similar gossipd in commonlisp, for instance
asciilifeform: phf: reminds me of sun's kbd

mod6: phf: nice, let me know if you get there. i'd like to re-map some of 'em too.
a111: Logged on 2017-06-26 23:02 phf: nah, that's your monthly occurrence.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-06-26#1674651 << while phf is right, nobody lasts forever, and linus is getting old. ☝︎
asciilifeform: phf has a very similar gossipd in commonlisp, for instance ☟︎
ben_vulpes: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-06-25#1674299 << yeah, it suxx, i hear you. probably going do the right thing like phf and use timestamps ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2017-06-25 17:43 phf: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-06-25#1674299 << i suspect if you manually upped mimisbrunnr (until he implements the self voice) it would quote now
sina: phf? trinque?
mp-en-managua: phf: well yeah but i cant voice atm
asciilifeform: phf: lol
js-of-mp: phf: yes, it's an anti-state pillar, for sure. smoke visible from distance, etc.
js-of-mp: phf: haha nb.
js-of-mp: phf: if i fuck half local, it means the other half is what ? how did it get there ? omfg if i already have the hugs what am i doing... headxplody.
js-of-mp: phf: but of course the real barb in there is the "half" part. as erlehmann aptly pinpoints.
js-of-mp: phf: and you know right then and there that in any practical terms (ie, slurping some local cock) her trip was a total waste.
js-of-mp: phf: there's a difference in the soviet lands between what people know and what they'll admit to knowing.
erlehmann: phf i see!
erlehmann: phf btw is there any way i could have phrased it differently so that “berliners hate tourists and airbnb in particular” could not have been interpreted as “i hate tourists and airbnb in particular”?
js-of-mp: phf: oya, i'm very much settled in comfy-like for the coming lulz of erlehmann unwinding his berliner mindset.
js-of-mp: phf: which reminds me, there's this thing in costa rica, "cafe con cuerpo". there's a single solitary chick in stripper ware, very VERY put off by having to talk to people and get them drinks and stuff in that gedup.
js-of-mp: phf: yeah, japanese investments in the us sufferent from a bit of "turner buys mysplace" thing : they went home at the same time, drove a real estate panic.
js-of-mp: phf: the funny thing is that the japanese went though this whole cycle post toyota explosion, you recall ? it didn't work out for them, so i suppose the locals have a hidden hope that a bn strong continent may end up fizzling like a 50mn island did.
js-of-mp: phf: are there straight males in seattle btw ?
js-of-mp: an phf got it to run on mac originally, and ben_vulpes is fucking up blender so it stops bleeding, and really come to think about it everyone is probably working on eulora even if not published anything yet.
mimisbrunnr: Logged on 2017-06-12 16:42 phf: scriba is not ben_vulpes's bot, so presumably the question is why don't ben_vulpes put up his own log speaker
asciilifeform: phf: i'm sure
asciilifeform: phf: re goldreich -- a very specific and deep type of downer, where you find what by all appearances is the definitive, unsurpassed definitional stem of work in $field -- which turns out to be wholly and deliberately useless on $principalquestion
a111: Logged on 2017-06-23 01:26 phf: til, there's a "Knuth Prize" that doesn't actually involve knuth. "The Knuth Prize winner is selected by a Prize Committee consisting of six individuals selected by the SIGACT and TCMFC Chairs. In selecting the Knuth Prize winner, the Committee will pay particular attention to a sustained record of high-impact, seminal contributions to the foundations of computer science. The selection may also be partly based on educational accomplishments and contrib

a111: Logged on 2017-06-20 16:30 phf: building wot for all comers will suffer the same fate as pgp. since nobody's using it, it turns into an arms race of easy to use, or "innovation" also known as masturbation over technical minutiae. i sort of realized this when i tried applying tmsr solutions to my cypherpunk friends: "no we don't need to research the difference between signal and telegram, just encrypt it to my gpg key and post it on dpaste or whatever." eliminated all the technical di
mod6: <+asciilifeform> mod6, phf , et al -- see if you grasp how the thing worx. << will continue to try to grok this thing.
asciilifeform: mod6, phf , et al -- see if you grasp how the thing worx.
asciilifeform: >>>>> http://wotpaste.cascadianhacker.com/pastes/Zy27g/?raw=true <<<<< ( CAUTION, mod6 , phf , et al ! the invocation syntax has changed !! )
asciilifeform: phf: aactually thing got ~shorter~
mircea_popescu: phf incidentally, it's a great thing the free world (tm) defeated the soviet union where people couldn't be published for writing things outside of the yemu sam's letters.
mircea_popescu: phf is it more a la satyr / jp kappa sorta item ?
mircea_popescu: phf really ? i utterly missed that out. i think to this day. what was the point ?
ben_vulpes: phf: ever read any andre norton?
mircea_popescu: phf except the soviet writer jules verne later wrote star trek, "how great would it be to sit on your couch watching tv on which they show you some dorks sitting on couch watching tv"
a111: Logged on 2017-06-20 16:30 phf: scussions, but also any kind of attempt at crypto communication. there was nothing to say all along.

a111: Logged on 2017-06-20 20:27 phf: hanno bock is a stand in for "security community", sort of like preet bharara is a standing for american aparatchiks. they even look the parts!
a111: Logged on 2017-06-20 18:54 phf: (thinking some more i only had one clarification, second one relating to action/thought i don't think i have a good grasp on...)
a111: Logged on 2017-06-20 18:27 phf: they heard that sometime long time ago cool people were doing tmsr (like maybe black panthers in the 60s), but back then was doing, now it's long long fashion. and it's obviously fashion because none of these posers have it in them to make a clean cut with a sword so to speak. an act that comes from conviction or desperation that is an act in itself. with no "purpose" to it
a111: Logged on 2017-06-20 18:20 phf: michael jackson rode on a tail wave of that, and really i would say that "everyone" wants to be michael jackson, but michael jackson wanted to be david bowie (not cause bowie is somehow good or superior, but because bowie was happening as jackson was rising)
erlehmann: phf another case of “talking about X does not make you part of X”?
erlehmann: phf fashion as in moral fashion?
mircea_popescu: phf whole point of scholarship / life of mind, to review.
mircea_popescu: phf it was something else, the stoic british officer who fixes everything through being so very british!
mircea_popescu: phf speaking of "father of nation" pedo -- ever seen the bridge to kwaii ?
mircea_popescu: phf> but that's why you don't try and build an army out of your gay buddies. << but i saw it in that film about us cowboys dressed in skirts!
mircea_popescu: phf i was thinking of mishima exactly.
asciilifeform: phf: what a misfortunate d00d, he was, couldn't get a proper kaishakunin, it took, what , 5 whacks to drop his head
asciilifeform: phf: possibly -- not last.
mircea_popescu: phf the whole thing to say was that $random-schmuck is really REALLY bothered by the scent of my ballsac.
mircea_popescu: phf your bouncer did some weird earlier.
asciilifeform: phf: also at a certain point 'they don't know about tmsr' evaporates and turns into 'they studiously ignore, like bernstein'
asciilifeform: phf: i'll admit that my favourite thing in these is.. the ads
deedbot: pete_dushenski rated phf 2 << deliberate burner.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-06-18#1671888 << oughta ask phf, perhaps he has this pill ( iirc has both openbsd and crapple in active use ) ☝︎
shinohai: Epic logs I missed over past ~2 days .... especially phf's lecture this a.m.
asciilifeform: yeah well if mod6 or phf or anybody had tried cooking with this recipe, he'd get headache and wonder wtf asciilifeform was smoking
a111: Logged on 2017-06-17 03:48 phf: wayland "mitigates" keylogger issue by not fucking letting you start apps either as a remote user or ~even as a different user on same machine~
a111: Logged on 2017-06-17 04:05 phf: since applications (and that includes window managers) tend to send around lots of different messages as the focus is traveling around your window hierarchy, i wouldn't be surprised if gtk/qt does a very specific grab when you put a cursor inside your app's password box, and do a release whenever focus travels away
sina: oh, yeah, I read through that, and wanted to see if the password manager I use was utilising it ala gpg pinentry that phf mentioned
deedbot: sina rated phf 5 << patient explanation of X server grab (http://btcbase.org/log/2017-06-17#1671304)
a111: Logged on 2017-06-17 03:36 phf: see architecturally wayland and x11 couldn't be more different. x11 supports a special network protocol that lets clients from different sources connect to the same instance of x. for example you can have a client from a different user on the same machine or a client from a network source (like over ssh)
sina: !!rate phf 5 patient explanation of X server grab (http://btcbase.org/log/2017-06-17#1671304) ☝︎
sina: phf: finished? the discussion about server grab is appreciated. links to docs or examples appreciated also
mircea_popescu: phf's capacity to scale an explanation is well impressive.
sina: phf: ok that is pretty interesting and I didn't know
sina: phf: it's not true that X apps receive all kb input?
sina: phf: mostly my opinion based on this article https://theinvisiblethings.blogspot.com.au/2011/04/linux-security-circus-on-gui-isolation.html
mircea_popescu: phf is wise beyond his years.
mircea_popescu: phf i doubt he's anything more than simply pissed at the rather famous x thing.
sina: phf: read what?
a111: Logged on 2016-04-22 12:42 phf: but freezing effectively implies lockstep freezing of the whole environment, to hardware. ("oh we deprecated x11, your code better support wayland. oh this new video card only supports wayland, since x11 is deprecated, etc."]
asciilifeform hands phf an iron-cross-with-oak-leaves for intrepid entomology work
asciilifeform: phf: yes!
asciilifeform: phf: re hunter h. thompson << i really ~wanted~ to like him. but bounced off every time tried to read any.
mircea_popescu: phf old style romanians do, yeah.
asciilifeform: phf: i had to teach pet to make it
mircea_popescu: yet phf no black in the south had it as terribly as the black "free" workers in the north.
asciilifeform: phf: aaaha, but also gotta punish white clerk, and for some reason never soros
asciilifeform: phf: 'not exploring it enough in hopes that it somehow holds true' is in fact the essence of bad rngology
asciilifeform: phf: and by dac i meant of cource adc, lol
a111: Logged on 2017-06-14 12:29 asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-06-14#1670142 << this is pure gold, ty for posting, phf . it's rng-nonsense from back when folx were posting ~erudite~ nonsense, rather than the regular redditola snore
asciilifeform: phf: ... or where the author elaborately justifies 'whitening'
asciilifeform: phf: notice how the discussion of DAC artifacts omits... the clock

erlehmann: phf deutsche haben sowieso keine ehre!
mircea_popescu: say between whatever phf runs log on and the log itself ; or whatever ben_vulpes runs the bot on and so forth
a111: Logged on 2017-06-12 16:17 phf: asciilifeform: so right now, if you click in the little up arrow, it'll take you to the location in btcbase. i think i might've disabled link substitution at some point on account of it being a subtle log manipulation
