nubbins`: yep. INCREDIBLY WEIRD, this. a guy using tor.
nubbins`: BitStamp management found this message to be, well, incredibly weird.
nubbins`: In April 2014, BitStamp representatives messaged Force, asking him why he was accessing his account through Tor. He responded through the support ticket: “I utilize TOR for privacy. Don’t particularly want NSA looking over my shoulder :)”

mircea_popescu: http://log1.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=02-04-2015#1083930 << this seems exceedingly likely, especially with stuff like the "oh open source is more secure because million eyes" million examples fresh in memory.
mircea_popescu: "if kids continue to not show up for class, the class will continue to get detention!"
mircea_popescu: "To view a downloaded movie, you double-click it. And then you're watching it. Stick a recent commercial DVD into your player, though, and you'll probably have to sit through lengthy, un-skippable warnings about how dastardly is the piracy in which you did not just engage."
mircea_popescu: http://log1.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=02-04-2015#1083849 << dude what the fuck is so very convenient about all the rotor bs i dunno.
BingoBoingo did not expect axe time to offer this much lead to work the whetstone before sword time
mircea_popescu: how hard is it to reproduce a coil of wire with... another coil of wire!
mircea_popescu: why the fuck not put in there... some "carefully chosen" solenoids of the right fucking charge.
assbot: Logged on 02-04-2015 04:00:21; asciilifeform: considering that solenoid is an inductive load, and resistor is - well - resistive.
assbot: Logged on 02-04-2015 03:51:47; asciilifeform: i can see this being given to unreliable warsaw pact nations to -amplify- their tempest emanations
mircea_popescu: i suppose "works according to what we know how to do" is the one standard of tradecraft.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform and speaking of it : http://www.cryptomuseum.com/crypto/fialka/psu/img/Tempest.png doesn't look like the exceptionally advanced thing the article promised. seems to me the solenoid-driven switching would create so much echo as to make it readily measurable.
mircea_popescu: http://www.cryptomuseum.com/crypto/fialka/psu/img/300125/019/full.jpg gotta love that crazy shit.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform dude how did you dig up the fialka thing.
mircea_popescu: also https://www.openhub.net/accounts/mezcalero if anyone's actually that curious.
mircea_popescu: "Please note that due to security reasons from this release on the minimal mDNS stack included in nss-mdns (dubbed "legacy") is no longer built by default. Thus, nss-mdns will not work unless Avahi is running!"
mircea_popescu: rather than the intended result.
mircea_popescu: in that "proof of idempotence" has generally been orders of magnitude more successful at proving the proving party has no idea what proving means,
assbot: Logged on 02-04-2015 03:34:34; asciilifeform: mircea_popescu:fork the chain or maintain the historical copy. << third option: make new apparatus, prove idempotence.
mircea_popescu: http://log1.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=02-04-2015#1083766 << this option is not unlike proving you didn't fuck a goat by proving you impregnated it.
mircea_popescu: http://log1.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=02-04-2015#1083756 << yeah your hole was, to my grief, readily reproduced.
mircea_popescu: your shit doesn't have to actually work.
mircea_popescu: it's easy when you're on stupid team.
assbot: Logged on 02-04-2015 03:26:39; decimation: asciilifeform: one wonders what the openssl authors use as a 'baseline os'
mircea_popescu: really the similarities are many and varied.

decimation: but it's true that they weren't
decimation: perhaps. it's hard not to see things taught to undergrads as 'not obvious'
asciilifeform: they could be put on the tree today and would stay unpicked.
asciilifeform: it is a mistake, to call them low hanging
decimation: yeah, the 60's were definitely a golden age of the hard sciences in the us
asciilifeform: playing with the 'big iron' at usg expense.
asciilifeform: contrary to popular image of rms, he was - at the time - the very example of a 'straight lace square'
asciilifeform: now, for the man who likes physics, maths, etc - it was golden age.
asciilifeform: so they went apeshit when offered chances.
asciilifeform: it was yet another generation asked to eat stale doughnuts
asciilifeform: but what -could- they have been doing, that was equally entertaining as setting rabid chimps free ?
decimation: for who, the 'pro-animal' hippie?
asciilifeform: i mean, it sounds odd, to ask
asciilifeform: what was the alternative for these folks?
decimation: yeah because the hippies want to 'set free'
asciilifeform: but that this had not always been so, and old-timers remembered when you could keep the cages in the lab
asciilifeform: underground, behind a tunnel with multiple doors
asciilifeform: i was told they were under 24/7 heavily armed guard
asciilifeform: decimation: my first paying job was at nih. and found it odd that only select few had the clearance to see where the live animals were
asciilifeform: decimation: this was not only for computer.
decimation: because they were seen as a symbol of 'the man'
decimation: but it was made worse because apparently the hippies of the time took to 'attacking' the machines
asciilifeform: last i checked, i can't waltz in to my local uni and use their mass spectrometer or nmr
decimation: so there was a hunger to 'own' said machine
decimation: obviously 'actual people' were not exactly thrilled with the idea of being treated like criminals while calculating
decimation: one of the reasons why the "PC" was such a success (as in the commodore, etc) was because many universities had taken to putting their computers behind a locked wall
asciilifeform: 'He died at the console, / Of hunger and thirst. / Next day he was buried, Face down, nine-edge first. / And the last bug in sight, / An ant passing by, / Saluted his tombstone, / And whispered, “Nice try.”'
asciilifeform: evidently not the one featured in the rhyme;
decimation: you would still need many of those cards to hold a standard gpg key
decimation: la wik' seems to imply that the "system 3" punch card was the most densely packed card in common use
decimation: that actually sounds pretty effective, assuming the listener didn't have a recorder
asciilifeform: ' Then, after the tape had been professionally rewound, you could rent it again, if you liked.'
assbot: Meet the new DRM, same as the old DRM ... ( http://bit.ly/1CzvMa6 )
decimation: yeah it's kinda the magnetic equivalent of a bigass flywheel
asciilifeform: the attempted ssl was the one included with auto.sh (release)
asciilifeform: just as it was meant -not- to
asciilifeform: i mean, it didn't get pulled in to the static build
nubbins`: are they symlinked to .so.1.0.0 like mine are?
asciilifeform: to the extent they did not use it (and swiss 'cryptoag' etc marketed rotors until late '80s!! and possibly now) - usg and its merry men had their fun with the payload.
asciilifeform: and to the extent folks used it - correctly - their crypto worked.
asciilifeform: interestingly, vernam (which we today call 'one time pad') coexisted with all of them
asciilifeform: all the rotor machines were much alike.
decimation: heh even the russian version is a slightly more advanced 'enigma' machine http://www.cryptomuseum.com/crypto/fialka/m125_3/index.htm
asciilifeform: http://imgur.com/zrmHTMR,OzgNDNH#0 << that one
asciilifeform: http://www.cryptomuseum.com/crypto/fialka/psu/img/300125/086/full.jpg << mega-l0l. this, internally, and geometrically - is almost identical to my (u.s.-made) ferroresonant stabilizator.
asciilifeform: how could there not be.
asciilifeform: of course there was
decimation: apparently there was a 'russian-only' version of the machine: http://www.cryptomuseum.com/crypto/fialka/m125_3/rus.htm
asciilifeform: i am inclined to believe that something is missing from the schematic.
decimation: heh yeah there's gonna be 'clicks'
asciilifeform: considering that solenoid is an inductive load, and resistor is - well - resistive.
asciilifeform: i can hardly imagine the circuit fooling anything but the most dull power analysis device
asciilifeform: having a printed circuit in this machine at all was 'high tech'
decimation: plus had to drive solenoids
decimation: I like the 30 mil traces
assbot: Logged on 18-02-2015 06:16:02; asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: before i fall asleep, i remembered to tell, that there actually were 'integrated circuits' in ussr that were built in the way you suggest
decimation: was that one of your 'tiny pcbs in a tin'?
asciilifeform: that is -not- an integrated circuit in the modern sense!
asciilifeform: 'In some of the circuits, 2TC613 ICs are used [1]. Each of these ICs contains four transistors, They belong to one of the first generations of Russian ICs.' << another howler
