asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: enemy can just as easily sign ~his~ variant
asciilifeform: (as valid, both for folks with mircea_popescu's genuine pubkey, and for those with the magic one)
asciilifeform: btw does mircea_popescu know what would happen if a pgp key with his main key but new magical subkey were generated and posted to sks ? ☟︎
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: all it'd take is a sha1 collision
asciilifeform: well, probably not as traditionally stated (e.g., if 'evil maid' borrows mircea_popescu's key, she can launch the rockets)
asciilifeform: ^^ mircea_popescu et al ^^
asciilifeform: there was a very good thread where mircea_popescu explained this, but i can't seem to find it
a111: Logged on 2016-06-16 23:17 mircea_popescu: more importantly : i don't want to outsource the management of my trust chains. if i trust you, i trust one key, not all keys in all derivations you may one day come up with.
asciilifeform: ;;later tell mircea_popescu http://qntra.net/2016/06/clinton-and-major-socialist-party-data-released-by-hero/#comment-61788
a111: Logged on 2016-06-16 23:09 mircea_popescu: i don't know hpa. any item purporting to be hpa's key is fake, and this can not be fixed by hpa or anyone on his behalf through technological means of any sort.
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: yeah k, i mean, i may disagree re. dunbar's number being directly applicable here, maybe i'm some l33t package maintainer, but fair enough, won't argue further here
a111: Logged on 2016-06-16 21:23 mircea_popescu: Framedragger so some clients handle it correctly. this isn't much of an argument that it belongs there.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: the crapple currently in business is a sad thing. i have a brand-new $3k box here, for instance, that periodically forgets it has wifi.
a111: Logged on 2016-06-16 17:04 mircea_popescu: except in the case as seen of hpa's key, where they just attached a valid sig to an invalid key.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: in usa it is not wholly unheard-of for wife to mutilate husband (blinding, decocking, etc) while he sleeps
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: yeah but that ain't a 'valid sig'
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> less money, shittier work. << Even if more money can't spend because blows cover, then die

Framedragger: mircea_popescu: whether signature by $key to which the key in question is a sub of is valid?
mircea_popescu: to be specific : is this http://67.media.tumblr.com/91a7527fbf8fbbe3ee9f4f93a87ab6c0/tumblr_npzgb9CdVS1tceoigo1_500.gif a fake woman, or a real woman ?
asciilifeform: (iirc this was mentioned in logz somewhere. presently it multiplies old_primorial * next_prime(old_prime), but this is wasteful, ought to happen in batches so that massive turd is multiplied only rarely)

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu dun believe in self-sigs ?
asciilifeform: iirc mircea_popescu even ~read~ the thing.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: does it not make sense to you that having two classes of object, whereas previously there was no need to distinguish classes, is at least 2x complexity ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: phuctor is, originally, ~specifically~ about pgp keys, ~verbatim~, as found in the wild forest. any other thing will have to be a new gadget.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: fella is a well-known dead tree sf author on this side of the ocean.

Framedragger: mircea_popescu: can't disagree with you there
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: yeah not the worst idea, i too think there may be not much of a market there though, but who knows.. good to know, if i ever come to consider b2b plans more seriously
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: about to post proggy, momentarily

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: won't work
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I think that's a new record for time to qntra post being linked by another qntra post.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Adding some links to extant qntra
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> is anyone qntraing the guccifer thing ? speak now else i'm gonna << I'm going to sleep. If you qntra it I'll publish upon waking
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: so they're pathetic stoolies, what of it. what else have they been for decades?
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes ie, should outrage force them to get off their asses, they don't want to admit they changed course.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes the best part ? "whole the USAF doesn't suspect foul play". fancy this wonder.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: there is also being an accountant, what of it

BingoBoingo: Aha leik https://encyclopediadramatica.se/Pulse_Nightclub_Massacre
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I dunno if the original was intended to be fiction, but this incremental rewriting is how the oral history passes
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: yeah k, this particiular concern should be acknowledged
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: 10000 mile distant response: just because you accept (at least parts of) (berkeleyan?) skepticism doesn't necessarily mean that *all* relevant conceptual boundaries are useless and prone to slippery slope dissolution
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: 'provided by universe' is a practical thing - like calculating digits of pi works the same regardless of whether you do it with darts, afghan - with kalash, and me - by throwing rocks, in a circle-in-square.
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: yeah but i dunno how good it is with serving parallel requests; think it will be fine for this though, yeah
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: waiwut

Framedragger: asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i'd like to interrupt this joyful occasion of copulation of you two by noting that ssh-rsa keys of all of ipv4 are now ready for phuctoring and further analysis; they are in the format of e,N,ipaddress. there's 10.6M of them, out of 20.8M something-listening-on-port-22 hosts. rejoice!
asciilifeform: http://s175.photobucket.com/user/Dakguy201/media/IMG_4558.jpg.html << moar.
asciilifeform: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/bf/Different_gauges_in_China_Railway_Museum.jpg << like so ?
asciilifeform: and the problem was solved in ways which mircea_popescu would find quite unsatisfying

a111: Logged on 2016-06-14 13:18 mircea_popescu: there's some problems with the concept of "specification" also that i don't have clear in my mind
asciilifeform: but road did not switch directions for hours while mircea_popescu drove wrong way. spat him out.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: only because it presently has no other specification
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: hm?
a111: Logged on 2016-06-14 13:12 mircea_popescu: how do you put in "all the parts that are needed by ALL future users" but "no parts not needed by ANY future user" ?
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-06-14#1482593 << this is called orthogonalization. and is a thing. even if lazy bastards never do it and consequently mircea_popescu has never seen it. ☝︎
asciilifeform: i'm with mircea_popescu on this one ^ .
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: with static library that is NOT a thing
asciilifeform: which is to say, a fairly heavy thing, that mircea_popescu is likely to use in his creations without reading.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu is also against operating system? after all, it also entails invoking existing code instead of repasting whole shebang
trinque: sure, and see mircea_popescu from 4 lines ago
asciilifeform: in linked piece, mircea_popescu described how he would piss right back on people who intend to waste his time
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: yes! precisely that one.
asciilifeform: does mircea_popescu remember his mega-article on leverage ?
asciilifeform: my n, for all mircea_popescu knows, could be 1,000.
