asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-23#1774768 << i must confess, very curious re what a 800bux network switch is ☝︎
mircea_popescu: contract number, something. does your contract have a number ?
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo aite ; the one thing missing from your enumeration there, is "gpgram me the story of bbisp fiat holdings ab origine." ; what this means is, i want a list showing "hey, i got $8500 (or w/e the fuck it was) and i spent x, y, z, k, l, leaving me with q". you wrote me a story, as a literary exercise, i want a numeric thing. gpg & send.
mircea_popescu: diana_coman as it currently stands it's a wonder it doesn't have ebcdic faggotry baked in also.
mircea_popescu: esthlos it is not standard procedure ; the emerging consensus is to have a dedicated philosophy file which a) all patches must touch (by protocol) ; b) contains comments as to the patcher's state of mind and c) contains one line per patch uniquely identifying it, machine generated. the format's not fixed yet, but as phf is working on a new proper vdiff it's probably going to coalesce around a variant of whatever he uses. ☟︎☟︎☟︎
BingoBoingo: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-23#1774593 << This has been a particularly painful lesson and an expensive one with respect to time. ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2018-01-23 03:40 mircea_popescu: and in general if this current trend continues of 1. i ask for something ; 2. you deliver something entirely else ; 3. i point this out ; 4. nothing happens we're going to have a serious problem. how did you figure these are wire details, what, you never in your life saw a wire ? wtf is "Beneficiario Final: (Razón Social o Nombre Completo del Cliente y N° de Cuenta en Montevideo)" ?
BingoBoingo: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-23#1774614 << I have never seen a wire. I will intinsify my effort to suck less. I am trying to learn without falling into the outcome where we write this off as a learning experience. ☝︎
esthlos: to determine if b.vpatch descends from a.vpatch, my idea is to scan through b.vpatch and ensure that each ---(file,hash) matches some +++(file,hash) in a.vpatch. is this the standard procedure? ☟︎
diana_coman: question for anyone who studied keccak: do you see any reason for keccak itself to care about msb/lsb? the way I see it, keccak works at bit level, so it eats a stream of bits in the order they come in and it outputs another stream of bits in the order they come out, no need for lsb/msb dance per se ☟︎
trinque: when you have a working v-tron locally maybe someone will give you something to do with it.
diana_coman: there's no sign up, lol; just either implement your own or otherwise at least get a signed one, read it and run it
mircea_popescu: tsk. the republic uses v, http://cascadianhacker.com/07_v-tronics-101-a-gentle-introduction-to-the-most-serene-republic-of-bitcoins-cryptographically-backed-version-control-system ☟︎
mircea_popescu: do you have a v system going yet ?
mircea_popescu: what came of finding a trilema hole btw ?
douchebag: In other news, I think this week I'm going to focus on finding an exploit in Pulse Connect Secure and writing a blog about that
trinque: it's a circular business, wheel has to start somewhere
douchebag: Eh, I was mentioning that stuff as a way to show how my "autism" doesn't negatively impact my life
trinque is curious if the diagnosis came with a prescription.
trinque: bit sad you're calling that a disease, eh?
trinque: anyhow "having something" is a fashionable way of distracting from your parents having utterly failed you, meaning to or not.
mircea_popescu: being inteligent / not a retard is not a disease.
mircea_popescu: the average sex of the human race is half a ballsac with a labia.
douchebag: When I was younger I told a therapist that and she said that's all common for people with autism, and then I was diagnosed with autism my a doctor

trinque: douchebag: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-04-27#1648758 << maybe a thread for ya. ☝︎
douchebag: idk, just typical autism stuff except I am a pretty normal person in terms of behaving properly, I don't enjoy social interaction much but I don't mind it
douchebag: I don't have a single phobia nor do I flynch
douchebag: I can sit in front of my computer for 36 hours straight researching a specific topic ☟︎
douchebag: Oh I already have a girlfriend
douchebag: I'm very high functioning, most people in real life cannot even tell until they have known me for a long time.
mircea_popescu: "i'm the type of person who likes to smoke" "why ?" "a lot of cancer cases in my family". really now!
douchebag: I've just been trying to think ahead about what I should do with my life. As of now I have a pretty solid plan in terms of getting started and whatnot, I'll definitely be living comfortable. I'm just not sure what I should try to do after that to
douchebag: After college and I get a few more certificates I'll be working a job paying roughly ~80-$100k/yr starting off ☟︎
mircea_popescu: the cost of polishing a hunk of crystal into something more or less ballsyform are degrees of magnitude under the costs involved in convincing a top witch to support your balls. these products can therfore be successful if and only if they're pushed by a market dominator".
mircea_popescu: aite, here : "does ubervu have a chance of ever being profitable ? absolutely never. there's complicated considerations involved, but principally determinant two : first, and absolutely unsurmountable, is that such products do not add any value, but are merely used in the way witches use crystal balls. exactly in the way. therefore, the more popular witches decide the brand of "best" crystal balls ☟︎☟︎
douchebag: Oh yes I understand that, I'm not really looking to sell 0day exploits, I mean starting a security company to provide penetration testing services to companies. A lot of places are required to hire a pentester or team of pentesters ☟︎☟︎
douchebag: Eventually, I would like to start a company of some sort providing security solutions to companies as well as hire pentesters to work for me. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: there is ~some~ actual substance to it, however it's almost entirely a subclass of being a systems programmer. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: now, pentesting is type A, not type D.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile, being an "academic" is not a career path. you can in principle go to any sort of school or none whatsoever to make an academic as good as any other, and nobody could discern this by examining you -- ie, there's a lot of dispute as to the training format. after you do or do not, every year you practice you stay at most as good as you were, and your market value generally decreases. eventually they "revolutionize" th
mircea_popescu: here's what i mean : being a doctor is a career path. you have to, mind, HAVE TO go to a certain fixed form schooling ; there's no dispute as to this. after you do, every year you practice you get better, and your market value improves. eventually decay sets in and you retire.
mircea_popescu: well, the problem with it is that it's not actually much of a career path.
douchebag: mircea_popescu: I want a career as a pentester, so far I feel I'm doing pretty good in terms of getting experience and reputation in the community. Do you have any suggestions for ways I that could get further on my career path? ☟︎☟︎
douchebag: I started class today, my teacher provides every assignment the first day of class I'm pretty sure I can complete it all in a few days so I suppose I'll have plenty of time to focus on that throughout this semester
trinque: I dunno about low level exploitation leetsauce, but when I was learning some ppc asm I wrote a sad little scheme in the stuff
mod6: A last question that I had: The original uses /bin/bash, the new changes include changing the shell to /bin/sh, is this intended, if so, why? ☟︎
mod6: Anyone who has a free hand, please check it out and let me know how it goes. Much appreciated.
mod6: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-22#1774125 << Good Evening TMSR. I have followed the steps here, and repeated the given steps with the expected results. Which looks good! I have also done a bit of additional testing on this vdiff change with a local vpatch created with the original, and the new, and then comparing the output vpatches. http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/Knj0f/?raw=true ☝︎

BingoBoingo: brb, me voy a dormir
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> a circa 2008 box, for >8x what i paid for a dulap-class opteron cum ssd raid << Has two of last year's http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/Zen/AMD-EPYC%207251.html and 128 GB of RAM, I am asking for a list but if you could forward some spec'd by alf suggestions it could be helpful.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-22#1774473 << the problem is there's not what to have them do for even 14 hours a week. there's just too many of them, they're just too fucking useless, and they literally expect to live better than their parents. nuttery of the sort wasn't encountered ever since people on sunken titanic expected waltz to sound just as good underwater!!! ☝︎

BingoBoingo: mistyped, the way to not pay VAT was to pay still more for a "Free Zone User License" The way to recoup some VAT is to search for some sorta hustle to get cash out of the locals.
asciilifeform: seems to come with a (possibly pseudonymous) 'who'

mircea_popescu: you're a boy.
mircea_popescu: but, one day at a time. this slut -- gpg4win. maybe in the future...
mircea_popescu: a rsa-cum-fg-terminal COULD be built. in preference of "proper micro in each man's home"
a111: Logged on 2018-01-22 19:39 phf: hmm, that's a relevant point to original "blog it!" because looking for those threads is work :> certainly more work than searching through own blog
mircea_popescu: well what then, "get ye a bolix, ho!" ?
mircea_popescu: consider, i am a man of no email.
asciilifeform wonders what kind of noobslut training call for a winlulz box
BingoBoingo: I haven't talked with them directly yet. I'm writing the email now asking for a list, including prices for quantities greater than one.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo so you never talked with that importer or it dun have a list or what is it
asciilifeform: ( i.e. it's a nagwall, not paywall )
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-22#1774401 << and this is why i have nfi what to do about it, he evidently understands, just through a very tortured process. ☝︎
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Because they haven't produced a whole list of machines yet.

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-22#1774399 << entirely separate concerns. as to 1, yes, we all have repeated conversations with alf in this vein, i dunno what exactly to do about it ; 2. the quality of your killshot was poor, and it is my theory that this is because the sort of topic would greatly benefit from the cohesive power of an article ; nothing to do with log not being canon, but a matter of collected convenience. ☝︎
BingoBoingo: Just a sec and Iĺl pull a price
mircea_popescu: a. speaking of filling, what can you procure locally ? got a list etc ?

mircea_popescu: oh, im convinced it's a natural problem. like you know, 2yo taking a bath in the sink, holding on to your thumb with all its might.
asciilifeform: and i'm convinced that it's a pseudoproblem. but we'll come back to this when mircea_popescu makes a compact statement of it.
