DreadKnight: we have a saying around, going something like "you drawn like
the gypsy near
the shore", meaning overall
that you failed in
the last few steps
☟︎ DreadKnight: there's sure something strange going on when it comes
to
the last few steps
ben_vulpes: that last 10% is more expensive
than anyone ever expects
DreadKnight: the project gets small contributions constantly, but when it comes
to bigger stuff, people
tend
to vanish at about 90% progress xD
☟︎ DreadKnight: ben_vulpes, didn't coded
the gameplay, it's a bit above my skill level; anyway, even if I did 100% of
the
thing, would still need funding
trinque: and I hear
there's not one cat on
the premises
ben_vulpes: we rearranged
the deck chairs last week, place feels almost like humans and not nerds
trinque: ben_vulpes: oh don't misunderstand, I am a big fan of
the 5-way lumbar support
trinque: ben_vulpes: pssh,
those sweet office chairs with 5-way lumbar support for one
ben_vulpes: DreadKnight: whaddaya need
the funding for? i
thought you wrote
the
thing yourself.
mircea_popescu: bitrated.com/zmanian/ <<
there's even a chump wot and everything
mircea_popescu: i'm looking forward
to all
the gavin lectures about
the perils of larger blocksizes. also at stanford.
DreadKnight: if I secure a bit of cash,
things will run smoothly
DreadKnight: regarding
the game, polishing documentation and preparing some a crowd funding
DreadKnight: usually
too lazy
to do
the whole
thing manually
ben_vulpes: so is qntra not writing up
the gpbacle?
jurov: not implying anything, only found
the commnt lulzy
jurov: /* does
this make sense????? */
jurov: jus' looking on code path
that produces
the "invalid subkey binding" message, found
this:
trinque: yeah
that's right, put your own hand-carved ebuilds in your local overlay
ben_vulpes: lol yeah
that's indeed
the conclusion i came
to
trinque: ben_vulpes: probably faster
than waiting for a glibc fix :^)
ben_vulpes: i'm getting
the impression with gentoo
that i should copy
the dieharder source into mydiehardfork overlay and
then emerge mydiehard fork - how wrong is
this?
mircea_popescu: other
than because some she-geeks are cute and people
try
to hit on
them with "hy babyy i r maek distro" ?
ben_vulpes: <gabriel_laddel> I like walking and
that is about it as far as exercise goes. << i'm on
this minimal
time workout kick lately
alphonse23_: sure. it just a shame. hacker news was a real gem back in
the day. I'm sure it's inevitable, as
things become more mainstream,
they get
too political, and less honest. Now I have
to go out a find good honest news from somewhere underground.
assbot: Logged on 17-05-2015 15:59:46; adlai: jurov: yes, at least
two keys need
to have a primer in common. had phuctor run over
the keys in reverse order, it would've found
the other chump first
mircea_popescu: the man of one book, like
the man of one site, is never
too close
to
truth
mircea_popescu: alphonse23_ an ad-interim solution is of course variety.
there's qntra doing bitcoin news.
there's 8chan doing all sorts of
things.
alphonse23_: "MQTT broker in golang" first
time hearing about it
alphonse23_: so where
the hell do I get my
tech news from. Reddit?
they Y combinator owns
them
too.
joshbuddy: hiya, just hanging out after reading
the hilarious rsa key blog post by .. umm you
davout: mircea_popescu: right,
the bet does specify
the number of moduli
to
test
alphonse23_: mircea_popescu: but
to do it so openly, how does
that not hurt
them.
davout: phuxxored
they are,
to yes
the bet should resolve
davout: if i
then submit a key whose factors are 3 and 5
davout: mircea_popescu: well, if i craft a key whose factors are 1 and 3,
theoretically it's a valid gpg key
trinque: it's plainly visible looking at
the header itself
mircea_popescu: they will farm said naive members of
the public for free content, yes.
trinque: this guy's making me write a
test program
to fix an include in glibc
davout: that's
the easy part i
think "anything recognized as such by asset's favorite gnupg version"
mircea_popescu: alphonse23_ anyway,
the mistake here is for members of
the public naive enough
to imagine conde nast / ycombinator / etc sites represent anything but
the alt-reality
their owners have a financial interest in.
mircea_popescu: the conundrum is more along
the lines of "what constitutes a key"
davout: the
title diddling on HN is documented in
the comments actually
davout: the bet was misworded from
the beginning, had someone intentionally created a set of shitty keys and fed
the
to
the phuctor, it would resolve as yes
alphonse23_: it's like,
their in league with
the NSA now or something...
alphonse23_: but
this,
the mod manipulating
titles -- for whatever reason.
There's
ton of down voting
too.
mircea_popescu: davout
that bet promises
to be a conundrum
to resolve.
alphonse23_: i've been going
there daily for years, and I've noticed
the change
alphonse23_: HN has changed a lot in
the pass few months
mircea_popescu: graham, altman &co are butthurt because we regularly mock
their "venture capitalism" ? i dunno
davout: re
the bitbet,
this guy had it: "So I can still drop bad keys on purpose? Or key had
to be added before announcing
this bet?"
alphonse23_: but from
the article it was reported here.
alphonse23_: mostly curious why HN would care
to hide
the story?
prx: Having
the right enemies might be more interesting
than having
the wrong friends
mircea_popescu: been some internet
tough guy months ago "destroying us" by flooding noobs, but i had
thought he gave up meanwhile.
assbot: Logged on 17-05-2015 20:24:41; asciilifeform: it will update, because - evidently -
there is no mechanism whereby
the update would be rejected.
trinque: tragedy of
the commons; everyone fucks glibc and no one pays her medical bills
prx: mircea_popescu: yep,
thx. I'll stay here forlivestuff, if
that's fine with you guys
prx: just wanted
to see myself what's up here with
those insane broken keys
mircea_popescu: there is
theoretical support, but in practice
the lists seem dead and i have nfi who can even undertake
that beast of a
task
mircea_popescu: trinque we were looking for someone
to fix glibc earlier
too
ben_vulpes: "Someone handed you an ebuild, and you don't know what
to do with it? Fear not, for here be instructions!" << docs with a dash of humor
trinque: and I will, if only as an exercise in whether it's actually possible
to get something fixed in glibc
trinque: guy sends me
to go bother whoever can fix glibc
mircea_popescu: i updated
the article
to lulz a little at
the ydumbinator crew
danielpbarron: >>
There is a service called Phunctor where you can upload a key and it'll check it against a set of known vulnerable moduli.
