mircea_popescu: myeah, what are they gonna do, include their own keys on the device end ?
asciilifeform: upgrade from the dumb beta version to spiffy new orifice, burn old.
mircea_popescu: too easy to spot.
mircea_popescu: 1 in 232 chance of selecting zero as the sequence number."
mircea_popescu: rs, since a non-implanted router should not set the urgent pointer, and has only a
mircea_popescu: "To identify implanted devices, we look for non-compliant responses where the sequence number is set to zero, the urgent flag is unset, and the urgent pointer is set to 0x0001. We do not respond with an ACK packet, and instead send a RST, closing the connection. This does not exploit the vulnerability, attempt a login, or complete the handshake. However, this does allows us to discern implanted from non-implanted route
asciilifeform: (summary: the rootkit was found and reversed - or alternatively, 'burned'. and no mention of its author. god himself put it there! apparently)
kakobrekla: lol that face censor - famous pedo algo
asciilifeform: http://cdn.arstechnica.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/nsa-pwn-cisco-640x373.jpg << them.

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=16-09-2015#1276226 << anyone else puzzled re: the total lack of mention of the author of the implant (usg) ? ☝︎
kakobrekla: five identical dells here, set up in a way that bleeding pic shows
asciilifeform: kakobrekla: i presently have a ev2736w, two sx2462w, and a l885. (all but the last stand vertically.)
assbot: Logged on 16-09-2015 13:53:36; kakobrekla: and the difference is night and day, incomparable.
mircea_popescu: "given a panel of 5 identical lcds, that have been on doing WoW for the past 5.5 years, if the same numeric value is rendered as red 10% more saturated on the most versus the least, calculate the probability"
asciilifeform: korean garbage naturally drifts quickly enough to use as a disco light
kakobrekla: not an artist either but it bothers the shit out of me
asciilifeform: kakobrekla: everything drifts. that's what the colorimeter is for.
kakobrekla: i bet even 'eizo' drift over time
asciilifeform: it is interesting how in just about every tech sector, there is ONE (perhaps two) vendors who make nice thing, optionally a few 'passable', and everybody else sells garbage.
assbot: Eizo ColorEdge CG301W vs. The Apple 30 - Luminous Landscape ... ( http://bit.ly/1Of6hCL )
pete_dushenski: https://luminous-landscape.com/eizo-coloredge-cg301w-vs-the-apple-30/ << "And I cannot emphasize enough what a difference it makes to be able to sit in front of a display for many hours without experiencing the typical eye strain and user fatigue." << hm. photographer/phd physicist who switched from acd to eizo.
mircea_popescu: do the deeds!
mircea_popescu: quick everyone, before the next one!
lobbes: oh nice, qntra's back up too
mircea_popescu: "yo tits, why's her tits turn green on the upstroke ?" "she's too excited to contain her inner greens"
kakobrekla: because white is green on one screen, yellow on the other, green on the third and red on the fourth
asciilifeform: thestringpuller: i'm speaking of the entire projector
asciilifeform: thestringpuller: they only make the chip
thestringpuller: i thought TI also had a market in DLP too

assbot: Come see what "positive", "affirmative" etc mean! on Trilema - A blog by Mircea Popescu. ... ( http://bit.ly/1KmYn34 )
asciilifeform: thestringpuller: and last i checked, there is precisely one maker of usable (solid-state light source) large dlp machines, also.
kakobrekla: well if you have more than 1 screen and colors are off, its annoying and it gets progressively more annoying with the screen count
asciilifeform: thestringpuller: got one in the bedroom. a nice one, too. but wouldn't dream of using it for actual work.
kakobrekla: im happy with my dells. as for the button, its so dim i cant tell if its painted or lit
assbot: Logged on 16-09-2015 14:06:07; kakobrekla: i have a color calibrator and i couldnt get these to sync color no matter what i did
asciilifeform: yes. if you're used to proper lcd.
asciilifeform: the old ones were terrible also.
pete_dushenski: yes, terrible things.
pete_dushenski: glossy ? oh that's only the new ones.
asciilifeform: fuck that.
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: every single one i ever saw in person was terrible
mircea_popescu: the ONLY reason leds ever got to be popular is that they had DISCREET light originally. ie, you couldn't really tell with a proper light on.
mircea_popescu: i guess it's because you can't turn that off huh.
asciilifeform: one more thing 'eizo' got right.
mircea_popescu: wtf must be going on in these people's heads, "5 lumen, ok led, 165 lumen, BEST LED!11"
mircea_popescu: just, you know, imagine my face when it shone through one layer of duct tape ff
mircea_popescu: right, those i tape.
kakobrekla: why take out led if not keeping screen
mircea_popescu: i do not believe in cosmetic interventions to remedy defects. i'd much rather take out a bad led like that with a red hot poker
kakobrekla: i taped them over for the few days i had those things installed
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i turned some off with a clipper also.
mircea_popescu: they got those things to where they came right off a tanning bed by now, i gotta run around with ductape and put TWELVE LAYERS on everything
asciilifeform: i turn mine off.
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=16-09-2015#1276260 << don't those stupid ass power leds bother you ? ☝︎
mircea_popescu: svg gotta work that's all there is to it. ima see what i can possibly do.
mod6: i'll see what I can do about getting a ascii one generated too.
mircea_popescu: i was trying to not care before.
asciilifeform: sorta why i liked the ascii art one
assbot: Logged on 16-09-2015 13:53:26; mod6: asciilifeform, mircea_popescu, ben_vulpes, et. al: check it out, I also now have added who has signed which vpatch on-mouseover to http://thebitcoin.foundation/misc/vpatch-nodes.html
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=16-09-2015#1276234 << shit now i gotta change my browser. svg fails to render ;/ ☝︎
asciilifeform: with lcd panels, as everything else, nobody cancelled the old adage 'tanstaafl'
asciilifeform: i'd take a 1993 vga crt over it.
asciilifeform: actually that korean piece of shit is ~the~ implementation of 'respeto por el trabajador'
mircea_popescu: socialist implementation of "respeto por el trabajador"
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=16-09-2015#1276223 << in argentina the same 500 (in their estimation) gets you 15" 1.4k. ☝︎
asciilifeform: thestringpuller: and a bit sooner than expected.
asciilifeform: thestringpuller: the annoying thing is that this will need to happen, apparently, at the packet level.
mircea_popescu: well you know, you wanna im with derps, you get what they got. if you didn't want any, talk to someone else.
thestringpuller: ah. i recall on trilema (which i can't access right now due to DDOS or something), the bitcoiner's press guide: "Ignore them, they don't matter." Guess this applies to the garbage as well.
mircea_popescu: they sit around agreeing with each other on reddit. that is what it is.
mircea_popescu: no. this is how it looks.
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: you once said bitcoin will get rid of the stupid by pushing the 99% of garbage and waste so far underground we don't have to deal with it. Can this happen sooner plz?
assbot: Logged on 16-09-2015 13:29:47; punkman: "very interested to see what details (if any) emerge from @cryptomeorg regarding its supposed key compromise." Answer: "Suspects: Truecrypt, SCS in DC, PGP flaw, all the other usuals."
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=16-09-2015#1276218 << i am still "very interested" to hear the details that emerge from the "thorough investigation" Freenode promised back the first time imbecile usg tried to disrupt b-a. ☝︎
asciilifeform: more than once.
mircea_popescu: (actually, for all you know aquentin fellow got this brilliant idea by reading teh logs, im pretty sure it was discussed coupla months back)
mircea_popescu: fortunately nobody uses them.
mircea_popescu: i have little doubt this is exactly what they'd do
asciilifeform: 11:15 < Aquentin> and the users support bip101, some 80%... so saying bitpay or coinbase is a shortcut for saying users would...
asciilifeform: 11:15 < Aquentin> dude, they a proxy for the users
asciilifeform: 11:15 < thestringpuller> Users didn't sign up to have their coins sold on the open market to finance a war...
mircea_popescu: will happen because things can't just go to waste (in fiction - nevermind that in reality 99% of everything exists as waste and that includes his entire existence)
mircea_popescu: you know, this "fiction as reality/reality as fiction" approach fits the usian behaviour remarkably well. they "feel bad for animals" because they think the superset of "animals" is in a disnety cartoon / the guy in a suit at disney world. as above, the lost XT imbecile imagines he has identified in a putative script of an imaginary film of reality the chekov gun, and so therefore, economy of means, bip 101 necessarily
thestringpuller: person claims Coinbase et. al will use consumer deposits to finance their side of the hard fork war
mircea_popescu: maybe he meant his mother's half price till xmas.
punkman: maybe he meant traversable
mircea_popescu: "transgressable WoT" ? da fuck is that even supposed to be.
assbot: Logged on 16-09-2015 13:22:37; punkman: "Cryptome and JY use a slew of PKs and IDs other than those compromised. Many one-time. For mutual protection, to expire, isolate, expunge." "Few of Cryptome and JY PKs are on manipulable key servers. And none via transgressable WoT or cryptoparty. More signs cloak imposters."
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=16-09-2015#1276216 << none of this reads credible, ftr. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i dunno who'd hire that.
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=16-09-2015#1276193 << heh. i wonder if microsoft matches that. ☝︎
asciilifeform: for typical schmuck
asciilifeform: as described by orlov, even; the reason why the car is sold last of all is that without it, no money.
mircea_popescu: are these men so utterly sexed they "live" where they sleep, because they always sleep "at home" ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it means that a fella who went flat broke will sell his house, his clothes, and only lastly the car.
mircea_popescu: where's the kitchen, in your car.
mircea_popescu: like, where's the shower, in your car.
mircea_popescu: dude wtf does that mean, "live in your car".
