Framedragger: i still don't understand how much of a browser replacement it is. interesting, tho. what does gabriel_laddel mean, "can gmail"? => can javascript?
Framedragger: (wait there's an x220 with 'tablet' / screen-turning mode?)
Framedragger: (ideally, i would guess, it'd munch datagrams, too, because gossipd is to have no stateful connections of the tcp kind.)
Framedragger: asciilifeform linked to that phoronix thread, and there were in point of fact good replies on that thread, who acknowledged significance of phuctor, but of course asciilifeform chose to focus on the stupid kiddos there.)
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: noted. (that's actually a problem i'm always easy to be set off on a stupid rant, but it's harder to be constructive etc. not that this is a unique trait. and there's a superficial connection to the whole rant-y nature of things, that is:
Framedragger: they invite student interns to write stuff, too, and afaik it's high quality, too. again, just good selection i guess. but also - interest to participate.
Framedragger: you know, i wonder how postgresql has managed not to die, and to remain, as far as i can see it, a quality product still. both in terms of codebase, and in terms of the set of maintainers and current engineers. probably very strict selection criteria, very strong people in the initial set (funded by / researchers at .su technical uni etc)
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: regarding the "let's do cicada" objection - there probably are several angles which one could counter with - is the main one basically what trinque said, i.e., it's a form of (dishonest, to boot) bait-and-switch, which selects for some $random_criterion and the latter may not at all translate into what's actually useful?
Framedragger: (hm, looks lamer when put as an irc line, i'faith.)
Framedragger: "The third period, as we have seen, was prepared in 1897 and [...] was a period of disunity, dissolution, and vacillation. [...] by way of summing up what has been expounded above, we may meet the question, What is to be done? with the brief reply: Put an End to the Third Period."
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: objection against current republic outlook, or objection against being all snore-ful and despiseful while at the same time grumbling about republican efforts being slow and the republic being poor? :)
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: i'm off home from work. will try to formulate sth constructive later
Framedragger: good luck with the whole recruiting thing. /sad
Framedragger: asciilifeform: marketing all of that requires a different skillset from being able to formulate puzzles, tho
Framedragger: i've seen attempts to post on bitcointalk, with the psychological safety of knowing that if it fails, "well it's shitty redditard forums anyway, who cares"
Framedragger: so if tmsr did something like that cicada challenge, with a properly formulated marketing strategy, maybe motivated people would turn up. i haven't seen an honest marketing attempt by republican folk, but then, i've probably not seen enough.
Framedragger: there, as in say, in the challenge in question? i would imagine, curiosity, and a deeper need to do something smart and meaningful, and hoping that the people organizing this give such an opportunity. and folx are willing to spend many hours pursuing that.
Framedragger: ...instead of, say, looking for intelligent motivated folk? not that i know how to do the latter. /me interrupts
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: re. bdsm board, sure it could be, the latter, as i understood it, would be a general e2e encrypted forum board (permanent post) solution with signatures etc.
Framedragger: unless you deem pgp key in this instance to also be an 'account/
Framedragger: pgp keys? not that this constitutes an entire solution
Framedragger: i guess could be done manually for small (< $dumbars_n) webs of trust. with billing templates / gpg contracts, etc.
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: curious - harder in terms of management, or in terms of technical implementation, or combination thereof?
Framedragger: well, to be fair, 1) the system shows people's portfolios and reviews etc, and 2) you can set a project price, the whole 'hourly billing' is only one of the options
Framedragger: heh, maybe the "confusing blender UI [at first, anyway]" filter is a filter after all :P
Framedragger: i don't want to argue regarding the general structural hopelessness of the web because you will win that argument / i agree with you :)
Framedragger: folks have had much better experiences with peopleperhour, just fyi
Framedragger: that sounds like a ridiculously hopeless platform / social 'network'
Framedragger: if it was mostly entomological though, then not relevant i guess.
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: i don't know just how interested you are to find inexpensive modellers etc, but just fyi peopleperhour.com may produce...better results. (but yeah, not for five bux.)
Framedragger: "Within 5 minutes, it was compromised by the Mirai botnet/worm"
Framedragger: "Peace in our time, shitgnomes" is an excellent salute, tho
Framedragger: else the resolution firewall will get breached
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: yes but ii need to write a visual basic script to track my own ip
Framedragger: (on the other hand it's something i may use for my boss. "this will be done in three.")
Framedragger: pete_dushenski: s/Payments are to be made within seven (7) of resolution/Payments are to be made within seven (7) days of resolution/ ?
Framedragger: if anyone's interested in exploring those, lemme know.
Framedragger: this reminds me, i've got all teh ecdsa ssh keys, too. to be looked at one day..
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: yep raspbian, though that should have been after patch, but - who knows
Framedragger: (but seriously, may be interesting to at some point brainstorm useful applications of botnet...)
Framedragger: "bless you, internet of things, finally i can have my army"
Framedragger: asciilifeform: makes me want to try top 100 password lists on telnet/ssh/etc on the whole ipv4, you know
Framedragger: this is probably a one-to-one demonstration of some carder forum threads
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: kk. i'll print this on my business card
Framedragger: (btw google translate gives "All that is done is fault" which is rather metaphysical)
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: i mean, it would be a *crime* not to put them to good use, eh.
Framedragger: (13M-something plus additional bundle i gave later iirc)
Framedragger: yeah. including various switches at possibly high value places, apparently...
Framedragger: and it's the end of twenty fucking sixteen, and bug was patched in 2008.
Framedragger: need a pool of IPs to circumvent fail2ban and similar throttlers, but absolutely doable.
Framedragger: in fact.. due to
https://hdm.io/tools/debian-openssl/ correctly pointing out that "This flaw is ugly because even systems that do not use the Debian software need to be audited in case any key is being used that was created on a Debian system.", someone should attempt botnet-brute-login to all 13M+ (i forget lol) ssh hosts with rng-fucked client keys.
☟︎ Framedragger: "fix your broken shitty keys" as a service anyone? :p
Framedragger: i take it feed is truncated due to rss / whatever - the actual amounts are much larger
Framedragger: (though, iirc github removed shitty ssh client keys - don't recall when jurov collected them, i think he mentioned this)
Framedragger: btw, afaik lots of ssh *client* keys got generated this way. soo, ssh client key dump should be interesting... and it can also be used to, you know, directly own boxes.
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: ya, aware of that. no revenue from bitcoin business yet tho :p
Framedragger: (and on a side note, "hang out on #trilema after splitting with gf" has been one of the more constructive choices i've made in my life)
☟︎ Framedragger: if i end up with any consultling work due to phuctor at some point in the future i'll commit to sharing some of the profitz lol. this is good stuff. which reminds me, is "We expect to add a detailed product page to the website" still happening? i'm just super curious
Framedragger: cool. (no hurries as i'm busy with stuff till next ~wednesday anyway)
