douchebag: If I understood it completely it would be no problem coding it. ☟︎
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 ☟︎
douchebag: Okay, to clarify what I meant by saying "most people" is that people write code to publicly release and be used by others ect..
diana_coman: mircea_popescu, heh, remember WHY I wrote foxybot?
douchebag: I write code for the simple purpose of making my life easier. 95% of the code I write will never be ran by anyone else except myself
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
douchebag: I'm good at what I do
douchebag: I love what I do
mircea_popescu: i don't think you can be anything but disappointed, in your current state.
douchebag: or do you think I would just be disappointed
douchebag: So, do you think I should even bother?
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
mircea_popescu: i don't know.
douchebag: Okay, and suppose I do write a V. What's next?
mircea_popescu: i'm saying that your notion of helping is so constructed so as to preclude helping, yes.
douchebag: Well I don't understand how I'm sitting here waiting for reality to change? Are you saying there's absolutely nothing that I could help with here in regards to Information Security?
mircea_popescu: what you're actually saying is "i opt to waste my youth". which is fine, it's yours to waste.
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
douchebag: No, I constantly put effort towards learning more and improving my skills as well as my self.
mircea_popescu: i get it, it's hard and especially unpleasant in that it requires your getting off your ass, and god forbid confronting the unpleasant side of things. hurr.
mircea_popescu: whether you're skilled or not has no bearing on this whole "area of expertise" nonsense. i've been writing for twenty years, doesn't mean i'll sit with my laptop while the girls eat each other out because fucking "isn't my area of expertise".
douchebag: I've been focused on web application security for the past decade, just becase I'm only 20 doesn't mean I'm not skilled.
douchebag: others have written V implementations that would be much better than the one I would write.
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
asciilifeform: odd, i get a 'no resolve'
asciilifeform: faq pretty clearly (last i read it, coupla yrs back) spelled out what they skimp on.
asciilifeform: i suspect stupidity (and re how long d00d's been in biz -- senility) as explanation. shitpay offered hook, nfsco -- bit
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: wtf does "i'll try this out" even mean in the broad world these days aside from "i guess i'll see how x would like to fuck me over"
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.
BingoBoingo: I blame Lincoln and Victoria
BingoBoingo: Meanwhile catching up on dispatches from mines back in the old country: "The side effects can be brutal. One medication exacerbated my depression and I ended up trying to take my own life. Immediately, while I was still in critical care, each of my three children’s fathers filed emergency petitions and took the kids."
mircea_popescu: if this doesn't have a strong perfume of original hackertude about it i dunno what does.
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 ? ☟︎
asciilifeform: i like how asciilifeform doesn't have to elaborate, mircea_popescu instantly grasped the boojum. almost as good as telepathy!11
a111: Logged on 2018-03-21 14:38 mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-03-21#1788339 << i can't tell you how annoying it is that mpi starts with mp.
diana_coman: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-03-21#1788390 <- good it ends with i at least, then ☝︎
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform incidentally this is exactly the general formula i'd expect of nsa sponsored holes in rsa. p = a * x ^ b
mircea_popescu: did i mention scripts can do anything ?
a111: Logged on 2018-03-21 13:47 diana_coman: I feel your pain: it's insane-mpi for sure

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: i loathe to curate anything by hand.
mircea_popescu: which is why i've not done it 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.

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-03-21#1788322 << ah i forgot, these are the security pantsuit. http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/XXkvW/?raw=true (the best part, other than the lulzy failed jay-z appearance, is the "hard limit : bruises" worldview. mutha srsly thinks "i've never been punched" is a sustainable lifestyle for the "politically involved", and actively prefers to have never seen http://trilema.com/wp-content/themes/trilema/i ☝︎
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-03-21#1788314 << no but see, the way i understand it, the whole appeal of the entire usg.robocar concept is that it removes human agency wrt traffic oucomes. if this illusion is not sustainable "why bother" as per usg.logic. discussing the event in terms of characteristics of the victim, ESPECIALLY in that "suicide" direction, cements defeat in this logic. ☝︎
diana_coman: I feel your pain: it's insane-mpi for sure ☟︎
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.
diana_coman: ave1 I really appreciate your scrutiny of eucrypt - keep it up! :)
ave1: diana_coman: I can understand!
diana_coman: ave1, and the trouble with changing stuff in mpi is that one needs to track afterwards ALL calls/uses of that code; I was rather avoiding changing mpi unless I really really needed
ave1: I'm logging the pings, to check how I can enumerate the good sites ☟︎
ave1: This is what I have now: http://wotpaste.cascadianhacker.com/pastes/NJhMO/?raw=true
diana_coman: ave1, that highbit/lowbit thing is touched upon in http://www.dianacoman.com/2017/12/07/introducing-eucrypt/#selection-133.195-133.456 ; I'll look again at it though and in more detail at your suggestion, thank you
ben_vulpes: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-03-20#1788295 << yeah, first time in...weeks? i've seen it lag ☝︎
BingoBoingo: WTF Eisenhower, I live in Eisenhower's America
mod6: diana_coman: hey, ok great! I'll add it to the list of Republican Advertised Nodes then :]
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
ben_vulpes: i could have sworn it was there quite recently
lobbes: anyways, I got js-selection working on my localhost test mp-wp. Footnotes too (which, I may say, are fun when compared to manually marking them up with <sup> tags). Now I gotta test comments, tweak aesthetics, and migrate to production. Hope to have the thing "live" this week along with post detailing notes of journey
lobbes: ha, so for all the useful sleuthing and tips spyked provided for getting the js text selection to work my issue ended up being... I didn't have the correct path! (derp was that I forgot about my permalinks) >> http://trilema.com/2015/that-spiffy-selection-thing/#selection-145.0-147.1
BingoBoingo: Thank you diana_coman. I suppose I should also ratings janitor soon too.
deedbot: diana_coman rated BingoBoingo 3 << Qntra and Pizarro ISP; moved to Uruguay for TMSR and learnt a LOT in the process; best hired hands I saw at work around in a long while
asciilifeform: i used ordinary cellophane tape, clear.
mircea_popescu: well honestly i didn't expect they didn't LOOK at them
asciilifeform: cuz i packed no such thing in'ere
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I just sent Ben_Vulpes a bunch of pics for his blogging. It is a 1U supermicro. Drive are in 4 front mount hot-swap trays. The cover on the case has two spring type latches that release when depressed and the cover comes off.
mircea_popescu: i just meant, find out before reflashing.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i'ma take the magic wand along to BingoBoingostan and recertify the whole fg stockpile with own hands.
mircea_popescu: which is exactly what i'm trying to avoid. but anyways.
mircea_popescu: as it stands i dun really know what's a concern
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i figure now i'm gonna have to test these things again or what. what'd you say is nsa standard for fg tests minigame'd have to do for nsa to certify its fg installation as satisfactory ?
mircea_popescu: what am i to say to these people ?!
mircea_popescu: i dunno, maybe it's not apparent, let's reiterate. minigame is a multi-million dollar corp, trusted by people with multi-million dollars worth of virtual equipment. you understand me ? when it says 8k btc equity that means more money than dimon got.
mircea_popescu: so what the fuck am i going to do now ?
mircea_popescu: i mean i get it, you had a pile of lose fgs. but you didn't even box up the one box you had pretty much pre-sold ? why not ?
ben_vulpes: i could have called this out more explicitly, sorry. i unpacked nearly everything but the ram from the machines on the way to installation.
mircea_popescu: so instead of buying the originally discussed sealed box http://btcbase.org/log/2018-03-05#1786922 and all that, what i get is ad-hoc aglomeration of parts. some of which were even out of custody for a weekend ? ☝︎
ben_vulpes: i didn't bring the machine up with the FGs out of oversight. BingoBoingo is walking downstairs to install them now.
ben_vulpes: yeah i found it, thanks
a111: Logged on 2018-02-24 18:28 mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes consider it sold ; where do i pay ? send diana teh login details.
trinque: esthlos: I want to comment on your post, but cannot.
hanbot: speaking of which, i'll have a genesis of mp-wp up this coming week. ☟︎
esthlos: Hi all, I developed a vtron, writeup here: http://www.esthlos.com/posts/2018/03/17.html . I know I need a comments mechanism: next project is to get mp-wp working
mircea_popescu: and in other overheards, "may i dress for car washing ?"
lobbes: I'm gonna do some log spelunking on my own boxen tonight. Perhaps I'll uncover similar things
lobbes: ben_vulpes no idea. Though I apparently got a pm from "live_cadaver" with similar spam message
mircea_popescu: so i'm doing a little bit of maintenance, and will be deleting http://trilema.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/lenat-leaks/ later today
mircea_popescu: i'm giving up on the notion publishing that is useful.
mircea_popescu: so i idly ran diff on the double indemnity source as compared to what i published. the original is 193082 bytes. my version is 193976 bytes. the diff file is 395838 bytes.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo but i suppose it'd be fair to say the new generation of fucktards simply revolutionized bridges.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo i-35 2007 collapse, btw, recall that ? whole lanes of zeks going to meet the river.
