mircea_popescu: incidentally, gotta say
that laser cooled cesium clock
thing is pretty spiffy an idea.
mircea_popescu: rtc/interrupts seems
to me a much worse scheme
than ic2 clock / interrupts
mircea_popescu: yes, you'll prolly be safe
to keep a coupla btc for going
to porcfest.
mircea_popescu: i guess, but
there's some practical security considerations here.
ascii_field: 'bad entropy' is easy:
the kind which
the enemy can cut you off from by silencing your net connection; or
the kind he can guess some bits of, by watching packets (no interrupt source in pogo is in any sense entropic other
than
the NIC's)
mircea_popescu: at
the rate people use adresses you need something like 1 byte of entropy per hour.
ascii_field: interrupts are precisely
the wrong kind of animal
mircea_popescu: ascii_field i have no idea what sort of an argument is
this.
there's no such
thing as good or bad entropy.
the
thing is unqualifiable by definition. do you mean
that you'd have
to wait longer
to generate a strong address? so you would.
ascii_field: thing is, rng needs attributes ~other~
than 'shits entropy'. namely, not
to be correlated with variables manipulable or monitorable by enemy
ascii_field: pretty bad
tool unless
the resolution of said clocks is high
mircea_popescu: ascii_field close enough, since any
two clocks are an entropy measuring
tool.
assbot: Logged on 09-07-2015 22:38:18; asciilifeform: ^^ i dare
to suggest
that
the patch be considered by
therealbitcoin ^^
mircea_popescu: ascii_field btw is mr xemist all butthurt at our new fangled
techs ?
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: he might know how
to eat
tree bark, but still has
to pay for bandwidth, no ?
thestringpuller: ascii_field: can't crowdsource a cumshot. save
that for
the professionals.
ascii_field: (the 'ufo' has no dc jack. gotta supply dc bias on
the ethernet cable)
ascii_field: but don't even
think about
trying
to use
the included firmware
trinque: iirc mircea_popescu called 300 a week or
two ago

ascii_field: ben_vulpes:
that 'ufo'-like
thing by
the people who made 'edgerouter' -
the same one i whined about and posted disassembly photos - runs wrt pretty well
ben_vulpes: i have eight people here and
this consumer object is falling over
mircea_popescu: every mother warned her daughter about
the perils of fast cars
throughout
the 60s.
mircea_popescu: dude,
the wishful
thinking of
the empire of fail matters so very much...
trinque notices
the confederate flag under
the rabbit
assbot: Bitcoin price rallies sharply as robust
transaction fee market develops proving
the naysayers were wrong. : Bitcoin ... (
http://bit.ly/1Cva2Q0 )
ascii_field: iirc it is similar
to
the chipset in 'hootoo'
trinque: when it had one subreddit and wasn't well known you could almost have a conversation on
there
ascii_field: for several years, my link
to it was among
the
top few all-time hits on reddit
ascii_field: most recently, when digging out
the 'mother nature' infanticide study link for ben_vulpes
☟︎ ascii_field: i once logged in, and for amusement
tried
to access some of my old posts
ascii_field: reddit clearly doesn't
try
to remember anything
trinque: whatever's left of
them can keep an oral
tradition
☟︎ trinque: all
the better reason for
them
to be forgotten
trinque: yeah, I see your point about good ideas in
the wrong hands
ascii_field: were sympathetic
to
the idea. but nothing came of it, as nothing could have
ascii_field: i'll have you know
that reddit circa 2006-2007 - sorta did!
ascii_field: what if
they ~had~ wished for lisp machine?
ascii_field: trinque: important
to remember
that
these folks are just as powerless
to do constructive
things as
they are
to do serious damage
trinque: it's
their
turn
to be forgotten.
trinque: no, lisp and other wonderful
things were
thrown down
the memory hole by
these fucks
thestringpuller: I always wondered about archiving
the most idiotic of
the reddit comments on bitcoin somewhere as entertainment
thestringpuller: nigga, hate fuels MPOE stock prices. we'll probably be able
to
trade hate as a currency soon with all
the butthurt.
Adlai: "never
trust a fart^H^H^H^H^Hn IP address" - bill murray
decimation:
http://blog.bofh.it/id_456 < "Short summary: if
these emails are
true, and so far nobody has found any credible reason
to believe
that
they are not,
then some major italian ISPs hijacked
the IP addresses of a foreign ISP on request of
the section of
the Carabinieri which investigates
terrorism and organized crime."
Adlai: who knows how many log-lurkers
there are!
Adlai educates
the qwerty-sheltered public
that L is a common dvorak
typo for
the query suffix
trinque: Adlai: heh I wrote
two bash oneliners for cheap p2p chat
Adlai: tbpfh, wotnet could be build using
the shell, even pre-rebirth
trinque: really isn't a "learn C"
task eh?
Adlai: which is largely how
the <western nation> lost <war> long before
the first grunt printed
the first boot in
the desert
Adlai: ascii_field:
the lack of dignification is aka
the refusal
to be
terrosrized
Adlai: where's
the grindstone and where's your nose, and why are neither bloody
ascii_field: this entire line of
thought is not entirely disconnected from
the 'transaction spam'
thread
ascii_field: ~precisely~ in order
to get us
to switch
them off
ascii_field: in particular, www gateways
to gossip net will necessarily resemble
the 'bathyscaphe' i described above
ascii_field: however, some of
the same work will have
to be done
then
ascii_field: my current hypothesis is
that all
the relevant folks are waiting for 'gossipd' and don't give much of a fuck
☟︎ ascii_field: meanwhile
taleb and uncleal will log in, witness a
thread about dogecoin,
then get a flood of ddos, vomit, and never return
ascii_field: i will answer 'i shall do it, in my Copious Spare
Time! (tm)'
ascii_field: kakobrekla will answer, not unreasonably, 'how about ~you~ do
this'
ascii_field: i can already guess what mircea_popescu will say
to
this: 'we don't dignify sp4mz0rz by reacting
to anything
they do'
ascii_field: one possible idea re: how
to let n00bs speak: host a few 'bathyscaphe' bots, having www-based chat on one end and a pre-regged cloaked account on
the other. but if a bozo connect
to one, can be signalled from here
to add his ip
to ban list.
danielpbarron also wonders what is
the correct gender pronoun for a bot, and in particular, assbot
Adlai: no
that is clearly a violation of intergalactic law
danielpbarron wonders if assbot can automatically submit urls
to archive.is like he currently submits
them
to bit.ly
danielpbarron: i "click" most of
the links here by pasting
them into archive.is
Adlai: which is
tbh more consistent with what happened a few weeks ago
☟︎ Adlai: then perhaps
they were
targeting based on link-follows
assbot: Logged on 10-07-2015 14:52:12; Adlai: if you mean lurking for ips
through uncloaked hosts...
the uncloaked fools should know better -_-
