assbot: Logged on 18-05-2015 01:35:23; justJanne: Sometimes when I get DDoSd I run nmap against
the attacking servers, one
time I found a small IRC server with only one channel, in which were 256 clients all with just a number as name, and one other client sending specific commands every few minutes
mircea_popescu: something
to do with bare adolescentine breasts, one would hope, for
the sake of everyone's sanity ?
assbot: Logged on 18-05-2015 00:38:24; pete_dushenski: "solidarity forever", "ticky
tacky houses", etc.

trying out a new fried chicken joint
assbot: Logged on 17-05-2015 23:41:43; williamdunne: Disagree with
the cause, but pretty cool project IMIO
assbot: Logged on 17-05-2015 23:39:53; pete_dushenski: williamdunne i really have nfi what
the first
trade was. if you say it's weed, we'll go with
that, but
that doesn't mean
that first=best
mircea_popescu: it all stems from a very funamental confusion as
to what
things are andwhat
technology can do.
the idea being
that
technology = magic, and so it can change
the nature of
things.
take marketplaces, which are by nature centralizing, and magic
them into being decentralising. meanwhile irl,
technology works
to increase quantitatively, not
to alter qualitatively.
assbot: Logged on 17-05-2015 23:34:39; williamdunne: Read
the article, and I still don't see how
that makes it bad for
the last mile
BingoBoingo: In
the calculus series classes
test questions were
taken from
the homework, which was conducive
to drinking whiskey before
tests.
mircea_popescu: i have my doubts if you could get a decent definition of
the notion of number from one in
ten us graduates.
justJanne: Right now I'm
taking second semester classes, last week homework was doing RSA on paper.
BingoBoingo: justJanne: At my school
those
topics were all in 300 series classes.
justJanne: And,
tbh, math101 at university isn't supposed
to work with numbers. Math 101 is set
theory, logic, lists,
trees, functions, relations, sur/in/bijectivity, upper and lower bounds, complexity, etc.
justJanne: Helps keep
the study free from scriptkiddies.
justJanne: And math101 is helpful here, about 90% fail
that class.
justJanne: Without
that you can't progress in CompSci.
mircea_popescu: you gotta appreciate, a compsci student in
the us is a guy
that's
too autistic
to deal drugs.
mircea_popescu: <justJanne> BingoBoingo: Yes — remember, I use no Google services, and modified half of
the apps on my phone myself. << o.O what are you, like a hacker ???
mircea_popescu: cazalla
the masochist and
the
terrorist. should be a book.
cazalla: what sorta person are you mircea_popescu
terrorizing
those poor sods on fetlife
mircea_popescu: midnightmagic i have my doubts about how all
that *pathic stuff works. kinda weaponized
terminology, like "heretic"/"disbeliever" in middle ages.
danielpbarron: williamdunne,
that means you're decrypting on
the same machine
that has internet?
gribble: samouraiwallet was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 1 week, 2 days, 3 hours, 14 minutes, and 55 seconds ago: <SamouraiWallet> cool system.
tying in wot with irc +v
mats: fwiw i use a smartphone
too,
the point being rammed here is
that you don't really have an expectation of security.
justJanne: And I'd like
to dump
the firmware, but
that would violate copyright.
justJanne: The ISP I'm using was started by a few people from
the CCC, so from
that side not
too high of a risk.
mike_c: ;;later
tell mircea_popescu: ad ready, see log 5 lines up
justJanne: BingoBoingo: Yes — remember, I use no Google services, and modified half of
the apps on my phone myself.
danielpbarron: the point being, your email client shouldn't have anything
to do with your encryption
BingoBoingo: K9? You
trust private keys on mobile devices?
justJanne: I can do
that with
Thunderbird, K9 and GnuPG.
decimation: yeah how is something 'encrypted' on a website
that isn't under your control?
assbot: You need
to specify your new key fingerprint.
btcg: i use
their webmail mostly
assbot: Nick btcg is already
taken.
joshbuddy: danielpbarron: where was
that quote from?
justJanne: danielpbarron:
that sounds like Kim Schmitz
danielpbarron: >> My aim is
to fight mass surveillance. I write code
to fight for our human right
to privacy. I want
to create a cloud service which is so easy
to use and so secure
that it locks out all
the spies. We really deserve it. << lol
assbot: Searching pgp.mit.edu for key with fingerprint: F4DE6DF4EB8BA2DAAD8D14A5B0045BC902AC1559.
This may
take a few moments.
assbot: That does not seem
to be a valid fingerprint.
midnightmagic: -- which directly resulted in
the erroneous and I would say, outright lying in
the Aurora analyses. None of
the conjecture
that
the public could see (because
that's what
the fuck it was) needed
to ever be
tested or 'pay rent' in
terms of accuracy.
decimation: midnightmagic: convincing-sounding is pretty much
the going standard in
the english speaking world
midnightmagic: mircea_popescu: Mediocrity is a natural result of psychopathic and sociopathic inroads.
The moment upper management ceases
to directly observe
their employees,
the result is
the most convincing-sounding people's voices become
the most relied-on. Convincing-sounding is not
the same as accurate/informed.
williamdunne: To get perma voice you need
to be in assbots L2 - so you need a rating from a lord
decimation: was assbot's link
title functionality kaput?
btcg: do i need
to auth with assbot for voice perm?
btcg: to
talk about interesting
topics :)
mircea_popescu: worst part being
that it's usually "corporate [in]culture"
that
takes marginal yet ambitious intellects and molds
them
to
this shit.
midnightmagic: mircea_popescu: Everything it seems, comes down
to human
trust evaluation.
midnightmagic: I personally watched
the responses internal
to some of
the companies involved and observed
the evolution of
the document
they presented
to
the public.
The people on whose opinions some of
those documents were based were bullshit artists, borderline pathological, of
the worst order.
mircea_popescu: yeah. if i don't happen
to know someone willing
to vouch, you can have credentials coming out of your ears, i just see "idiot" in
thick font. which is basically wot-ness.
midnightmagic: mircea_popescu:
The old Aurora attacks are an excellent example of
the perversion of
the idea of 'well-credentialed'.
The people
they had making comments about
the SCM systems involved in
that attack and
the shoddy investigations going on were.. extreme.
assbot: Logged on 17-05-2015 23:11:27; williamdunne: >Forget MPEX.
The best/most reliable stock exchange is, by far, BTCT.CO.
decimation: mircea_popescu: yeah, in fact I suspect "the lady doth protest
too much"
assbot: Logged on 29-04-2015 14:33:49; davout: mircea_popescu kakobrekla mebbe make scoopbot_revived not mention
the
title and let assbot handle it?
mircea_popescu: decimation honestly, i suspect
the guy complaining on
trilema was either
trying
to stir up shit or else working on meanwhile inacurate history. seems
the ddos guy is gone.
mircea_popescu: midnightmagic not bad, but it lost me at
the "well credentialed" etc bs.
adlai notices
that assbot doesn't insert
titles anymore... midnightmagic linked "Lets Call Stunt Hacking What it is, Media Whoring", an apt
topic for
today
justJanne: decimation: I'm on phone right now, but as
the latency didn't go up, doesn't seem so. Or at least nothing noticeable.
decimation: justJanne: did you see any ntp reflection
traffic?
justJanne: A local server you can put in your own data center. It can operate even separate from
the web.

trinque: DreadKnight: doing
the ad-supported
thing is a loss leader at best; you have
to be able
to burn money until your audience is large enough
to merit being paid for
the # of eyeballs
