mircea_popescu: b) it readily describes all sorts of known-broken apprtoaches and techniques. such as the use of blackmail. it pointedly has nothing to do with either beating or set time breastfeeding
cazalla: not using addnode and process list shows what i ran as in "jon 23241 3.8 0.6 2106956 51844 pts/0 SLl+ 08:43 1:44 ./bitcoind -myip=*.*.*.* -connect=195.211.154.159
trinque: oh also run as root; it needs to for example loop-mount the image
mircea_popescu: and as the chief procurer pointed out "if you break the guidance at any point, we're still gonna call it stealth"
asciilifeform: they are speaking of a particular machine, which no one (as publicly known has built), but, e.g., 'd-wave' fraudulently sold to a few rich schmucks, and the difficulties of construction are not mysterious
mircea_popescu: there is no basis that i can perceive on which one could propose that the term "quantum" as used by usg in any context has any meaning.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform if you add two and substract two and it comes out as what it was it's quantum resistant right ?
asciilifeform: 'It is important to note that we aren’t asking vendors to stop implementing the Suite B algorithms and we aren’t asking our national security customers to stop using these algorithms. Rather, we want to give more flexibility to vendors and our customers in the present as we prepare for a quantum safe future. Where elliptic curve protocols are to be used, we prefer Suite B standards be used to the fullest extent possible a
mircea_popescu: inasmuch as at the time romanians declared they wish the latter, it was irrational.
mircea_popescu: before wearing the hungarians as cock decorations ?
asciilifeform: it's as if it happened on some distant solar system
asciilifeform: so far the only thing i can turn up as 'satoshi's pubkey' is his coin addrs' privkeys
asciilifeform: somebody cook up a key with that fp as seen in idiot winblows pgp, and sign, for the lulz
mircea_popescu: it will be absolutely great if they scam any exchange into accepting their shit as bitcoin, or otherwise if any retards pay money for xtc.
mircea_popescu: or any other place where the bar to entry is not as high as to exclude the urban poor.
asciilifeform: as suggested by the july 4 incident
mircea_popescu: whereas i for a very long time have held the firm "fuck you, the text i write, i write with no consideration as to what you might misunderstand of it"
asciilifeform: can treat as stream
asciilifeform: unix utils work as depicted in, e.g., vdiff.sh, deadly-simple, BECAUSE file is a solid abstraction
asciilifeform: (not separate fiber, mind you, but may as well.)
jurov: or do the same as with diff - add hash of content into every clearsigned doc
asciilifeform: same as before
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=15-08-2015#1238649 << detached sig, absolutely yes. posted as separate email each - absolutely fucking not ☝︎
mircea_popescu: the civil corps or maybe run for office as she ages. like you know, hillary.
mircea_popescu: anyway, the dudes that women hound are just as retarded. take me for instance : there's a shitton of opinions woman can't hold. recently met a very sweet girl, smart, decent figure. she's an argentine, so her only real chance to eat is to work for the government - there's really no productive activity going on here, much like it were say detroit. so she was some derpy "social worker" and aiming to either seniorize into
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=15-08-2015#1238595 << when boiling the proverbial frog, when it gets cooked enough you can just turn up the heat to whatever. srsly, they included a keylogger and admitted to it. why should they not also rape you in every other possible hole, and drill new ones as desired ? ☝︎☟︎
trinque: admitting death, perhaps we are freer to do as we please in life
trinque: not a goddamn thing. as (*clears his throat*) MJK of Tool wrote, "The universe is hostile, so impersonal. Devour to survive; so it is, so it's always been."
asciilifeform: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/83/Pomn%C3%ADk_Mary%C4%8Dky_Magdonov%C3%A9.jpg << mega-winner of a statue! betcha the kidz think the chick died as a partizan in ww2
cazalla: specifically "and fill distfiles with tarballs, etc. as before." is this just all the patches?
cazalla: i am hoping ethereum over takes litecoin in fake market cap just as its first halving occurs for extra lulz and butthurts
pete_dushenski: clear as the giant forehead on your face
mircea_popescu: well i mean, teh women didn't elect metro something as the avenue for de-barren-isation did they
pete_dushenski: and yes, as expected, 'metro news edmonton' has failed to respond to my advertisement inquiry
jurov: lol... as if noobs are going to provide you with 100k cft you need, and in reasonable time
BingoBoingo: <ascii_field> (never, oddly enough, baseball. which i grew up thinking of as ~the~ american sport) << Baseball fell out of favor with the public around the same time as Boxing and Handegg was in a lucky position to replace both. "Civilized" alternative to boxing "Exciting" alternative to baseball "Opportunity" for the oppressed youths.
jurov: heh RF would be doable only if radio compatibility was totally neglected.. but as transistors are sensitive to light, laser would certainly do
phf: hmm, ok i see your point, far the fuck out as it is
mircea_popescu: following, as it were, with the knife the lines drawn aforehand.
mircea_popescu: but the notion that the mob in the street invented anything or in any way created something... gimme a break. romanians for a while thought ceausescu was incredibly inventive in his stupidity. these being the folk too uncultured to know carol 2. in fact, the bootmaker was merely immitating, as best he could.
mircea_popescu: for the record, we have ample documentation as to hyow the children of the aristocracy were kept back while that stayed vigurous.
mircea_popescu: as the observation goes, "for every incredibly sexy woman out there, there's one guy sick and tired of looking at her asshole."
mircea_popescu: as i observed to a friend recently - if everything worked i wouldn't even care to have a name.
trinque: seems the aristocracy can't allow their children to develop foolish ideas such as being able to change reality arbitrarily, which any kid left to his own thoughts growing up in wealth will come to believe
phf: thinking about "degenerate children", the disconnect seems to be between what is advertised as a virtue in order to strengthen rule and what is genuinely required in order to remain in power. somehow eton managed to produce generations of british elite, while petergoth lyceum first class of twenty ended in the decembrist revolt (and that was 100 years before soviet revolution)
ascii_field: (never, oddly enough, baseball. which i grew up thinking of as ~the~ american sport)
mircea_popescu: it is a good idea to describe anything overgrown, neotenic idiots do as "a game". because yes, they're playing.
mod6: <+gernika> mod6: bastard blocks for roughly 10 hours now. Perhaps I corrupted my db? << hmm. not sure? are you getting errors as opposed to just bastard blocks? maybe post last 250 lines of your debug.log and we can have a look.
mircea_popescu: (and no, it can't be fixed by simply moving one's hands and MAKING him that. it has to come from the public, as an unavoidable necessity. and no, the public can't be "educated" etc)
mircea_popescu: (ftr, very old peoples do survive in france as well - same places they do in the east. like the normans, say, or the gascons. much hay was made by the plains populatrons about this also, at the time they were still trying to understand themselves seriously - say 3 centuries ago)
mircea_popescu: which is, as far as romanians are concerned, how hitler was invented, and the soviets are, again, just some easterners trying to be german in their retarded way.
mircea_popescu: bless her soul, for without that it'd have ended up as yet another class of world-saving idiots.
ascii_field: mayakovsky had the sense to eat his nagant as a young man
ascii_field: as a boy, hca gave me howling nightmares
ascii_field: he had a well-deserved reputation as a hack and bootlick
ascii_field: sop, as mircea_popescu pointed out once, in east europe
mike_c: trilema traffic is going to drop by half as your readers start jumping off a cliff.
asciilifeform: my current understanding is that libreboot exists as a kind of sad 'hurd' to coreboot's 'linux'
punkman: "FDA registered as a durable medical devise"
assbot: The blocksize debate is due to limited upload bandwidth. A hardfork could fix this: by allowing 10 minutes for *all* nodes to upload their blocks into a "blockpool" (so nodes with slow internet have a chance too), and then *randomly* select one block as the "winner" to append to the blockchain. : Bi ... ( http://bit.ly/1Mrg9IM )
mircea_popescu: i dunno redditard fucks as a result.
asciilifeform: '...redefining "bitcoin user" so that less than 1% of bitcoin holders are anointed as 'Real Users'. Enough already. It smells like tyranny, it looks like tyranny - it IS tyranny. And Bitcoin, more than any other community, should overthrow these flawed attempts at governance. Where a minority holds the rest hostage.'
trinque: asciilifeform: told her as much, lol! right question! sadly, only horribly approximate answers
asciilifeform: (thingie which lets you build a c proggy for, i shit thee not, ~stackless+heapless~ machine. as in 0 bytes of addressable ram)
mircea_popescu: "this program takes as much memory torun at all as it totally employs". "this program takes as much time to run every time as it takes the longest time" etc.
asciilifeform: (rides on ghostscript. any box you run it on, you may as well use a traditional displayer)
asciilifeform: if you have a reasonably spacious (e.g., 8MB) eeprom, you can cram your favourite linux kernel right in there as payload
asciilifeform: 3) you can insert an arbitrary binary as payload. the most traditional payload is another item called 'seabios', which emulates typical pc bios and can even boot winblowz
asciilifeform: 2) the job of the thing is to init the box as quickly as possible and get the fuck out of the way
assbot: Logged on 13-08-2015 18:42:04; asciilifeform: did mats just use great wall of cn as example of 'secure' !
assbot: Logged on 13-08-2015 18:36:18; mats: anyway, as phf says, it is of course possible to kill certain classes of vulns in C, be it memory mgmt to fix corruption, strncpy and the _s functions from MS for known, fixed size destinations, properly strict coding conventions, reducing attack surface with sandboxing e.g. NaCl, and full SFI/CFI
assbot: Logged on 13-08-2015 16:37:05; phf: when was that exactly? because i stopped following infosec in 2003 (i think last toorcon i've been to was 2005) and looking at it now not much has changed. the releases are definitely a lot less interesting, because of the 0day market, but when i ragequit it was the same shit. weak releases by pushy guys in faux military gear as a norm, occasional interesting stuff from the usual suspects and practically negati
asciilifeform: the less room for 'oops', the harder it is for scoundrels to masquerade as imbeciles.
ag3nt_zer0: on another note I was doing some reading on the history of astrology yesterday and came across the "fact" that originally, in mesopotamia, what became astrology began as a simple catalog of omens, reflected in "if this, then that" statements... this avenue was state-sponsered too... just got me thinking of the "evolution" of this logic and how these same statements are now applied to exclusively reductionist pragmatic mat
mircea_popescu: ag3nt_zer0 you have to understand that this entire "market" thing is more of a DoS thing than a local thing. there isn't a substantial similarity between ukraina and china that makes both appear in the press you read as "so and so square".
asciilifeform: and it isn't as if we don't have history to learn from.
asciilifeform: it has to start out as an abstract 'don't shit in your drinking water'
asciilifeform: but to advocate it as some kind of actual state of the art, is another thing.
asciilifeform: did mats just use great wall of cn as example of 'secure' ! ☟︎
mats: anyway, as phf says, it is of course possible to kill certain classes of vulns in C, be it memory mgmt to fix corruption, strncpy and the _s functions from MS for known, fixed size destinations, properly strict coding conventions, reducing attack surface with sandboxing e.g. NaCl, and full SFI/CFI ☟︎
phf: add OP_SIGVERIFY as an intel instruction :)
mats: as I think more about it, there may yet be a software solution... will share later. asciilifeform will not like it - this involves, inevitably, a multitude of mitigations
asciilifeform: they didn't even 'clearance' the slaves, as this costs far too much and eats into the margins
phf: when was that exactly? because i stopped following infosec in 2003 (i think last toorcon i've been to was 2005) and looking at it now not much has changed. the releases are definitely a lot less interesting, because of the 0day market, but when i ragequit it was the same shit. weak releases by pushy guys in faux military gear as a norm, occasional interesting stuff from the usual suspects and practically negative desire to come up with systemati ☟︎
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=13-08-2015#1237135 << so, i read the slides. 1) 20MB powerpoint pdf turd?!!! wtf, people. 2) the picture which implies priv escalation is disingenuous. there is, just as i said earlier, no esclation. you gotta be in ring0 to move the apic window. NONE OF THIS SHIT WAS SECRET, how did they even get a talking slot at 'blackhat' ? ☝︎
pete_dushenski: from what i recall of it, i'd much rather read funkenstein_'s writings than this junk http://log.bitcoin-assets.com//?date=01-08-2015#1220877. as prophetic as this bit of ta was ☝︎
shinohai: I liked this morning article as well. You may have noticed I fumbled the syntax.
pete_dushenski: as such, 'tevye' is currently at 24404 and climbing
asciilifeform: then we can go full circle to the old days when there was no such thing as a car you couldn't start by hand
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=13-08-2015#1236842 << all three of these were translated (the traditional ru single-voice crappy dub) and i saw'em as a boy ☝︎
cazalla: there was some media attention to that effect just a few months ago here.. imported chinese garlic sold as australia.. fucking food labelling here is so awful that you cannot know what comes from where.. example "made in australia from local and imported ingredients"
assbot: Logged on 12-08-2015 13:15:19; asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=12-08-2015#1235694 << if i had to move to another usg fiefdom, why not, e.g., midwest usa instead? same as australia, but easier resupply and fewer natural hazards
mircea_popescu: it's about the same as buying "seer advice". you can pay as much as you want to, but you should buy the cheapest.
fluffypony: PLEASE DO NOT REMOVE YOUR FEEDBACK AS IT IS HISTORICAL AND A REMINDER TO ALL TO BE CAREFUL.
fluffypony: As the new owner of this account I have removed any feedback left by the previous owner as a courtesy before I sell the account.
mircea_popescu: though it is manipulated from time to time so as to make sure that only light music will come out of it. I know people who will keep the radio playing all through a meal and at the same time continue talking just loudly enough for the voices and the music to cancel out. This is done with a definite purpose. The music prevents the conversation from becoming serious or even coherent, while the chatter of voices stops one
mircea_popescu: The music-and if possible it should be the same music for everybody-is the most important ingredient. Its function is to prevent thought and conversation, and to shut out any natural sound, such as the song of birds or the whistling of the wind, that might otherwise intrude. The radio is already consciously used for this purpose by innumerable people. In very many English homes the radio is literally never turned off,
wilbns: mircea_popescu: haha, yes, exactly, that was my favorite candy as a kid which is why i liked the cartoon
pete_dushenski: 'the real ghostbusters' (cartoon) was developed by columbia pictures and 'dic entertainment'. i'm not sure that it was any good, more that the siren sound of the car as played in the theme song was really rather memorable
trinque: sparks even, as though trying to jam the breaks, iirc
