mircea_popescu: wtf,
i have to explain why short keys are shorter than longer keys ?
mircea_popescu: zx2c4, look, think of a number between 0 and 2, 0 and 2 exclusive. have you ? here
i go, ima guess it! you thought of 1!
zx2c4:
i think cloudflare has an ELI5 article from a few years back about "what all the key sizes doth mean"
mircea_popescu: zx2c4,
i am very skeptical because rsa they hated and ecc they pushed and then suddenly everyone forgot the 90s and is all onboard.
zx2c4: mircea_popescu:
i take it now that mostly you're skeptical because the nsa was pushing ecc in the early years, before everyone else woke up to it
☟︎ mircea_popescu: the algos for ecc will ~never come out, until the day
i water my horse out of the repurposed washington monument, of course.
mircea_popescu: zx2c4, looky,
i get that
i may seem retarded at times and in some lights, but it's not a safe assumption.
Darwin_Fish: If
I understand your question, the answer is no. This is God's purpose: And He has made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth, and has determined their preappointed times and the boundaries of their dwellings,
mircea_popescu: zx2c4,
i proposition that the smaller the key, the smaller the key. this can't be meaningless.
zx2c4: mircea_popescu: the keys in ECC are smaller. if your position is that this cant possibly mean it's more secure than RSA, then
i suppose the actual claim you're making is that 'ECC with ECC-sized keys is less secure than RSA with RSA-sized keys'. what's the basis for this?
Darwin_Fish: Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall
I then take the members of Christ and make them members of a harlot? Certainly not!
mircea_popescu: zx2c4, the only thing you can get with a smaller key is "something just as good", in the sense mcdonalds is just as good as the restaurant
i go to. perhaps it is -- for the poor.
i'm not poor, nor do
i orient my life around the needs of the needy.
mircea_popescu: zx2c4, no, they're fucking disputable. you're going to tell me you get "the same thing" but "with a smaller key" ?
i'm tuning out, this is nonsense.
Darwin_Fish: Ron Paul believes prostitution should be legal.
I turned a blind eye to that, but
I should not have
Darwin_Fish:
I had hoped to bring him back in the church, but now he hates my guts
Darwin_Fish: He couldn't stop spending money he shouldn't be spending (
i.e. creating debt)
zx2c4: mircea_popescu: and
i think having that kind of thing always on -- constant chattiness -- would be a security step backwards, since it'd give up stealthiness. but of course if you still wanted it for a special use case, there's nothing in wireguard preventing you from having it pretty easily
Darwin_Fish: But now
I have written to you not to keep company with anyone named a brother, who is sexually immoral, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or an extortioner-- not even to eat with such a person. (1Co 5:11 NKJ)
mircea_popescu: zx2c4, honestly,
i'm satisfied with this for an answer "look, wireguard can be used many ways, nothing wrong with your way, and it's supported, but in general other people want other things and so there it is".
zx2c4: mircea_popescu: re:rand(20,200) - sorry. random number of bytes is all
i was going for. (an ip header is 20 bytes, so you'd probably want to bound it at that. and 200 seems like a reasonable cut off. but of course we could keep engineering and designing that sort of thing and come up with different numbers.)
mircea_popescu: zx2c4,
i don't mean random (20,200).
i just mean, the size of your smallest non-zero packet. was it 8 or what was it ?
zx2c4: intervals relative to the amount of existing traffic.
i wouldnt be surprised if something like this already exists.
zx2c4: mircea_popescu: if what you mean is rather than sending an empty packet,
i should instead rand(20,200) zero bytes encrypted, then
i wonder what this would accomplish. the other side now receives this. if it's a keepalive message (which it knows after decryption), then it goes silent. if it's not, then it either responds with whatever is appropriate to respond to that, or if it has nothing to say, it would have to send a keepalive too. in
mircea_popescu: yes. but
i propose to you the instrument thereby is the infantile tendency to question "why ?". that's what they fucking do, all day long, at least the brighter ones.
Darwin_Fish:
I often refer to religion as you described it
jhvh1: danielpbarron: ERROR:
I have more than 5 matching passages from your query (10 left). Please be more specific.
zx2c4: mircea_popescu: let's take a protocol that just encrypts ip packets and nothing more. traffic analysis of the size of packets gives you something, especially in the case of TCP where there are necessary types of responses at various points. but
i suppose you want me to consider "general purpose cases". so im thinking about a raw UDP protocol. in this case, it might be that at the end of an exchange, one side has nothing more to say, and so it says
Darwin_Fish:
I consider an atheist religious. But, of course there are plenty of people who say and don't do
mircea_popescu: but we're discussing theology not religion. cryptography is eminently not a religion. in fact,
i'm the frirst one to have ever said anything remotely like the foregoing, and it's giving crypto people hives just reading it.
mircea_popescu:
i'll propose something to you : inasmuch as one is in a better position understanding god for god, rather than understanding god for what some guy said, cryptography is the most direct path to divinity.
mircea_popescu: if
i have a message, which is not null,
i can package that message in any string of any arbitrary sized chunklets. so your observing 8+16+24+8+8 does not tell you whether you observed 5 null messages, or a 64 message, or 4 16s, or anything else.
mircea_popescu:
i suppose at work might be a confusion between what-some-idiots-might-be-thinking-retroconstructed-on-the-flimsy-basis-of-how-they-behave, where "general purpose os" means "the sprinkle of magic turning the computer from a computer to anything
i want it to be, which is to say a tool that magicvally works for any purpose
i might come up with, especially the nonsensical and self-contradictory ones".
mircea_popescu: the best example
i can think of is the code on the old handheld calculators. THAT is a general purpose os : it makes no assumption about the downstream, merely fully, cleanly and directly exposes the hardware.
☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: spyked,
i disagree general purpose os is actually a null concept, or a useless one.
mircea_popescu: spyked,
i don't see how this distinction works. what does "eliminate word from vocabulary" even mean, you'll take out some classes/dependencies/whatever out of a pile of lines of code, leaving a them-shaped hole behind.
danielpbarron:
i still like them. wasn't trying to do harm with the post. it was my intention to move on after that season, just didn't think it'd get cut short is all
spyked:
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-04-16#1799833 <-- but! the a, b examples
I gave were *not* in any sense subtractive, read again. and by "eliminate"
I mean, the words from vocabulary, unlearn them, throw to trash bin (hence "systematically"!), *not* "take monolith and prod it with toothpick"
☝︎ mircea_popescu: ftr,
i thought your post was quite elegant, 99% of bloggers, begginner or otherwise, would have fallen into the ditch of "oh,
i r allmighty powerful deity,
i crush your companee!!!" nonsense.

ascii_lander: speaking of 'for all',
i saw (on 2 consec. days!) a sight that must be seen to be believed : 500+ gurlz standing in line. for what? for 'starbucks'
a111: Logged on 2018-04-13 20:37 zx2c4:
i'm not saying everyone with leisure _does_ do something worthwhile with it. but you cant deny that leisure is in many cases a necessary precondition for many great aspects of civilization
ascii_lander: and the reason,
i suspect, is that in usa the young gurlz are trying to 'become clitler'
ascii_lander: mod6: it really doesn't hurt to 'piss on the electric fence yourself' and see what
i meant.
mod6: Just sayin', wasn't waste of time for me to do it, just thought
I'd report my findings.
mircea_popescu: mod6,
i could have saved you the time,
i guess, but then again IF you publish a detailed discussion then we have that.
ascii_lander: mod6:
i tried to do this at one point, ended up burning it all in disgust, and wrote shiva ( which then
i sadly abandoned for reasons amply discussed in log )
mod6: Of course, we have other tasks such as re-doing wallet, how we dump all keys from wallet, and others. Just thought
I'd venture in and see what was what.
ascii_lander: errything courtesy of ascii_lander's bag o' orcbux , while
i'm here, aha
mod6: In other tales from the TRB:
I spent a solid chunk of time this weekend trying to backport all of the rpc rawtx functions from upstream prb. Just to see if it was workable, and an educational endevour. This is not going to be a thing. They change tons of baseclasses and introduce a variety of new ones. Going forward,
I think these will just be reimplmented in a trb-fashion.

I don't want to spoil alf adventures in Uruguay, but... He loves the cheese here
ascii_lander: mircea_popescu:
i read it, it was a snoar, ethertards doing their 'unhappen this eggog, unlose some shitcoin' thing again.
mod6: mircea_popescu: no, thankfully.
I'd probably have died.
I have a mean-snowblower.
ascii_lander: ( what
i expected, of course, was flearidden dank cellar of some 19th c imagination )
ascii_lander: even such fabled items as BingoBoingo's hostel, are not quite what
i expected. there's moar sunlight, walkable space, etc there, than in my house!
ascii_lander: and
i'm beginning to suspect that they moved the real argentina here

http://btcbase.org/log/2018-04-14#1799029 << anyway,
i wouldn't simplify it quite to that point. obviously there's a pull and there's a push way to make money, and if
i propose to some guy, "do x, get y" it's my push not his pull, and obviously if he wants to pull instead of waiting to b pushed aroundhe gotta do pull-y sorta things. but anyways.
mats:
i have four fgs if pizarro needs a few more though

i see mysql and msqli flags for dev-lang/php-7.1.15 and just the mysql flag for dev-lang/php-5.6.34
esthlos: Specifically, my php sees mysqli my no mysql. Maybe
I need to downgrade?
douchebag: hanbot:
I only asked because someone joined as mircea_popescu but
I wasn't sure if it was really him due to his name getting switched to guest.
I'll be less noisy when bringing women in here.
hanbot:
i get that most irc channels and chat venues in general encourage this constant stream of self-evident, redundant, low-content chatter, but #trilema doesn't come close to most. there are people trying to communicate and get shit done here, and while you and your titprovisioning are quite welcome, the noise overhead is not.
hanbot: look at the log where
i linked it, for example. the girl registers, the bot confirms she's registered, ---you announce that you got her registered---. a few lines down you've got four lines to announce that there's a problem with a picture, after the picture's been posted. how many times yesterday did you ping mircea_popescu and then do it ---again--- to ask if he's around? etc.
hanbot:
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-04-15#1799616 look douchebag, for every girl you bring in here there's like 10+ lines of bs from you.
i've got nothing against you personally, but you're littering the logs with noise --it's annoying as fuck, and if you keep at it
i'll end up negrating you.
