cazalla: bingo_bar ya should be drinking and chatting
to
the honeys not irc nerds
Chicago: Hey
thanks, Whats
the
topic
this hour?
decimation remembers fondly going
to
the video rental store
to rent nintendo games
☟︎ decimation: for some reason
they declined
to enter
the 'cheap computer wars'
decimation: although
the menu scroll became annoying
decimation: asciilifeform: did you even play 'romance of
the
three kingdoms' on nintendo?
decimation: yeah as i recall he
took mercury pills
decimation: yeah, according
to la wik
the
traditional historiography focuses on his immortality 'schemes'
decimation: heh from la wik:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qin_Shi_Huang < "Mao Zedong, chairman of
the People's Republic of China, was reviled for his persecution of intellectuals. On being compared
to
the First Emperor, Mao responded: "He buried 460 scholars alive; we have buried forty-six
thousand scholars alive... You [intellectuals] revile us for being Qin Shi Huangs. You are wrong. We have surpassed Qin Shi Huang a hundredfold. When you ber
decimation: apparently
they don't wanna open
the
tomb until
they can be sure
they won't ruin it
decimation: whose
tomb is apparently still intact, and is rumored
to contain an entire map of china with all
the rivers made of mercury
decimation: ^
the king (Ying Zheng) was
the guy buried with a massive
terra cotta army
decimation: And so Wang Jian kept sending messenger asking for stuff, and
the King never suspected his loyalty. He liked his pettiness. Wang Jian went forward
to invade Chu, destroy its armies, capture his king, and annexed
the country into
the soon
to be Qin Empire. He went back home, and very unusual in a famous general, died a peaceful death.
decimation: And even if he doesn?t ask himself,
there?s always an annoying eunuch paid by a rival general
trying
to backstab me, saying
that I am famous and honorable, and
that
the opposition might rally around me,
that I?m
too powerful and must be killed sooner rather
than later. Only by openly displaying
that I am a vile, corrupt character who only cares about money, can I make
the king
trust
that I have no higher ambition.?
decimation: ?You don?t get it?, says General Wang. ?The emperor is a suspicious man. He doesn?t
trust anyone. Right now I have under my command 600,000 men,
the entire army of
the country. Every once in a while he must be asking himself: ?What if
this Wang Jian guy rebels against me??."
decimation: I
think he might actually live in china
decimation: he's one of
those on
the fringe of
the 'reactionaries'
mircea_popescu: i dunno about spandrell ever, but who cartes. "note
that altman is gay in
tech and
that didn't save him" ? fu nutso boi.
mircea_popescu: not a point sam altman may ever have. his points, such as
they are, must be of an entirely different nature.
mircea_popescu: what's next, "quisling has a point - people should stand up for what
they believe in" ?
mircea_popescu: he is part of
the entire shebang pushing "twitter as a business - business as a
twitter"
decimation: well, his reasoning is sound, people have no business on
twitter
mircea_popescu: nevertheless, "We shall drown, and nobody will save us" is exactly right.
they shall, drown. nobody will, save
them.
mircea_popescu: singing "you've made your one nail bed, now lie in it"
to a happy
tune.
mircea_popescu: the entire shitfest is going
to be killed by its own methods.
mircea_popescu: "runs for
them a short part of
the way and for us
the whole way".
☟︎ decimation: asciilifeform: I don't see any crypto code in
the javascript, but it's not a very familiar language. I do see an input form with a submit mechanism
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform as
there's
two. "version" : 60200, "protocolversion" : 60001, for instance
decimation: asciilifeform: wait
the server gens
the whole key?
mircea_popescu: (server itself is declaring 60001, and im unsure what
the foundation nodes will say. 50001 maybe ?)
mircea_popescu: version 70002 - 50 version 70001 - 9 version 60001 - 9 version 60000 - 1
Total - 69

tell ben_vulpes incidentally, were you explicitly setting -irc Find peers using internet relay chat (default: 0) flag ?
decimation: yeah I was about
to ask where
the entropy for
the rng comes from
decimation: it's possible it doesn't upload
the privkey immediate

txns without valid blocks on disk?
decimation: asciilifeform: you should audit
the class
decimation: delete all
txns without valid blocks on disk?

to be wasted - vicious circle? · Issue #1120 · bitcoin/bitcoin · GitHub ... (

☟︎☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: yes, vegetal goop is potable. no,
there's no reason
to pay 95 bux or w/e
mircea_popescu: this
thing is strictly separated from any consideration but sales.
decimation: but often
these mlm schemes charge $$$ for dubious products
mircea_popescu: (/me has once rescued a well bosomed oyung lady from
their old womanly clutches)
mats: it looks like its all js but i have a shallow understanding of how
things in
the browser work
decimation: mats: is
that server-side or does it generate key in javascript?
jurov: the PGP monkeys just did not foresaw any need
to put into signature hash of signed document alone
mod6: oh, is
that per
the RFC you pastd?
jurov: mod6
they append date and whatnot
to data prior
to hashing anyway
☟︎ mod6: i can't figure out how
to get
the hash out either,
the best i've seen is
that "digest algo 10, best of digest 23 49" gives you 2 bytes.
jurov: asciilifeform: ^ we're back
to using our own patch hashes somehow
jurov: ^ so
the sig is useless for out purposes
jurov: The concatenation of
the data
to be signed,
the signature
type, *and creation
time* ... is hashed.
assbot: Logged on 26-06-2015 22:04:45; ielo: mircea_popescu, you are
the fuckface what
the fuck have you done for bitcoin? you literally called an asian woman a gookface, what
the fuck kind of person are you?
trinque: "presentation
types" << o hey look another
thing I built shittily in der database
trinque: ;;later
tell felipelalli your doc went
through
jurov: mats, since
the python one is written
to be "inspired by C pgpdump", it's very likely it does not,
too
trinque: that iirc might've caused problems with *other* characters (though I don't recall which) so someone ping me if
they have
trouble with
that in
the future.
trinque: I "fixed"
that by
telling python-gnupg
to use utf-8 internally as per
their docs
mod6: ah, well, if you hvae a solid inet connection you can always
try scp as a last resort if you have a shell on
the
target environment
too.
