BingoBoingo: Note this is also a big reason why Bedbugs are on the upswing.

asciilifeform: ( i have a very similar problem in meatspace -- i live in rented houses. the market for this is extremely thin ( discussed in old threads, i won't repeat ) because the expectation in gringolandia is 'if you have that kind of money, why wouldntcha BUY!111' etc )

BingoBoingo: That's 10 cable modems in DDoS mode or a single AWS+Wordpress away from collapse. Better to get the faster pipe and meter it

BingoBoingo: ben_vulpes: Minimum 10Gbps and minimum a C block

ben_vulpes: what *should a rack come with, 1Gbps? relatedly, how many ips ☟︎

BingoBoingo: On the other hand, there is "not cheap" and then there are Pinoys offering a 10Mbps connection for a 42 U rack

BingoBoingo: You forget, in my world 2-cyle is for the pros. Nothing sadder than a 4-cycle strimmer

BingoBoingo: Well, when one becomes to recieving either jolo or rando ny Telestra sales staff, it is a change of pace

BingoBoingo: In other wonders, when you submit a quote request in Brazil for a full rack, the CTO sends an email

mircea_popescu: eh why the hell not, apparently i'm untouchable. cleopatra-as-isis has been reborn in me and no mortal hand can harm such a one or how did it go.

mircea_popescu: aaand in other nacht und nebel, i find this morning that yesterday i went skinny dipping a few kilometers off costa rica's principal concentration of crocodylus acutus.

mircea_popescu: what do you suppose you give 16 yo bedouin girl as a love gift ? smartphone enouigh to watch netflix, neh ?

mircea_popescu: and i am starting to see the point of us military strategists a lot clearer thjan i ever did these days. just because the chinese got together a bunch of rockets doesn't automatically mean anything.

mircea_popescu: or in other words, the nukes never posed any kind of threat to "the continuance of humanity" ; whereas the slow and painless devolvement into a sort of easter island / hawaiian "happines" through embalmed imbecility quite literally does.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the point here is that it's not a system. i suspect it's a stock. it's something of the nature of the servant and his tribe, not something of the manner of the servant and its tribe. ☟︎

mircea_popescu: and this is a fundamental differentiator of ethnic groups. some develop and some regress.

mircea_popescu: soon enough it'd be one oil barrel sawed in half on some rickety rock props on a beach somewhere.

mircea_popescu: imagine how a mcdonalds work if the blacks manning it were in charge.

mircea_popescu: you get a beach resort, however tiny, famous for its rampant prostitution, build a perfectly workable brothel, and the dumb whores there located will self-organise into doing ever less work, until finally it's just standing around.

mircea_popescu: "perfectly capable of sitting inside someone's cellar, hand-making shitty rifles in the unverified belief that ww2 still rages above, cca 1970 ?" YES! certainly. "dumb enough to imagien can't bring acordeon to hospital to break patriarch free because ourdemocracy.,rules ?" absolutely not. "boring enough to just sit on ass and chew hay like a fucking herbivore ?" nope, never.

mircea_popescu: EXCEPT!!! you see, except the serbs were never this fuckign stupid. i'm not even sure how to qualify it, but there's a substantial difference between the two items.

asciilifeform: 'On 26 June 2016, a grenade explosion killed two people and injured at least 50 others during celebrations to mark Independence Day in Antananarivo.' << pretty great

mircea_popescu: but anyone who is either french or lived in france any length of time knows that france is in fact just a dumber, shittier usg. though built way earlier, by FEWER locals.

mircea_popescu: i'd much appreciate a thorough challenge of this point, it's mindboggling.

mircea_popescu: madagascar isn't a unique example, either. it's just a very anthropologically convenient one, very clean and pure so to speak.

mircea_popescu: this wasn't a copy job. this was "average human" reaching deep down and reconstructing usg.

mircea_popescu: ie, the official propaganda actually has a point in its narrow domain of applicability.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform also a very interesting case study for my needs, because genuinely sovereign morons. do you know there's a major lynching thing going on ? whereby they form mobs, throw rocks at people for a few hours then set them aflame ?

asciilifeform: 'a usg will always be found for the stupid' or how it went.

asciilifeform: it however is a gangrene that will grow ANYWHERE where fits-in-head is not an iron principle.

mircea_popescu: it's a cheap ustardian fake based on poor understanding of statistics.

asciilifeform: '...4-way handshake was mathematically proven as secure... the properties that were proven in formal analysis of the 4-way handshake remain true. However, the problem is that the proofs do not model key installation. Put differently, the formal models did not define when a negotiated key should be installed. In practice, this means the same key can be installed multiple times, thereby resetting nonces and replay counters used by the

asciilifeform: losure deadline was around the end of August. As a compromise, I allowed them to silently patch the vulnerability. In hindsight this was a bad decision, since others might rediscover the vulnerability by inspecting their silent patch. To avoid this problem in the future, OpenBSD will now receive vulnerability notifications closer to the end of an embargo.'

asciilifeform: in other lulz, 'OpenBSD was notified of the vulnerability on 15 July 2017, before CERT/CC was involved in the coordination. Quite quickly, Theo de Raadt replied and critiqued the tentative disclosure deadline: “In the open source world, if a person writes a diff and has to sit on it for a month, that is very discouraging”. Note that I wrote and included a suggested diff for OpenBSD already, and that at the time the tentative disc

mircea_popescu: ah that was an easy log. i was worried there for a minute.

mircea_popescu: "in the most likely airflight scenario, the pilot doesn't even need a highschool equivalency degree, just sit there and watch the pretty lights. not like all planes are going to crash".

mircea_popescu: this is exactly the automattic bs, "oh, this hole is not a problem because attackers can't use it"

asciilifeform: 'In the most likely attack scenario, the hacker would have to directly connect to the Wi-Fi access point, and so would need to be within physical proximity to the router. "This attack doesn't scale," noted Alan Woodward, encryption expert from the University of Surrey. "It's a very targeted attack. Not like we're all going to be hit as attackers can only be in so many Wi-Fi zones at once."' << choice nonsense -- as if you can't hop f

ben_vulpes: oh dear, asciilifeform how broken is a linux without any /dev/ttyUSB*

BingoBoingo: But yes, this style of argument by "statement of victimhood" apparently is a thing taught nao

BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Appear to be a typically Poettering enabler whining "Why is your schtyle not the schtyle I am familiar with in my eggpress"

BingoBoingo: And in other international legat weird, Singapore apparently has a strict liability standard under its "Sedition Act" against speech they find racis'

mircea_popescu: but at least the usg is spending today and has spent for the past half century whatever fraction of a trillion each year in order to maintain the "public perception" that nukes actually do something. this way third worlders have something to elongate domain names with, and thereby IT HAS ALL BEEN WORTH IT.

mircea_popescu: clef: scrapeboxsenukevps.com ,which is advertising a $55/mo "Xrumer VPS Full Dedicated Server 7 GB RAM Xeon E3v3 x 4 x 3.4 Ghz 60 GB SSD 1 gbps uplink All Tools Included" (by which tools they mean you know, scrapebox, senuke, gsa as well as the venerably ancient piece of ru spamola itself) as well as Bitcoin payments also wants the Fairy Godmother to... get this, to verify her name! by, of course, uploading "NON-CONFIDENTIAL

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-14#1725340 << i will admit to being curious re what it is mircea_popescu thinks he can use those folx for. they have the apparent intellectual ability of a turnip. ☝︎☟︎

apeloyee: procedure W_Mul is separate, etc. a generic version and an asm version. who dislikes asm, can throw it away and use generic version.

a111: Logged on 2017-08-10 02:43 asciilifeform: for simplicity, tested the case that actually happens in practice: on a 64bit box, any ffa width over 512 bits gives a strictly 8-wide comba mult ocurrence

asciilifeform: apeloyee: and index with a 4way mux ? that'd work

apeloyee: 1 is not a sums of 2s and 3s... << ???

asciilifeform: 1 is not a sums of 2s and 3s...

apeloyee: let's suppose B is a temporary, WindowLSB and WindowMSB are bits of 2-bit fixed window, One is, well, 1, BaseModSquare and BaseModCube are B**2 mod Modulus and B**3 mod Modulus. the posted snippet then assigns to B the power (2*WindowMSB+WindowLSB) of Base. See, we index the memory by a (small) secret!

asciilifeform: you have a couple mil 'fm radios' less than a milliwavelength apart

mircea_popescu: not sure that buys you anything, now you got an FM carrier wave in the power supply instead of a simple levels thing.

mod6: Here's a dumb question...

asciilifeform: iirc there was a 'cpp ifaq'

asciilifeform: asciilifeform's notion was that he'd write it against a backdrop of 'why didja do x' in l0gz

mod6: i do also think there could be paragraphs even written around certain procedures in ffa. but not sure if that belongs in the code, or as a corresponding document outside of the code.

mircea_popescu: not even a terrible gig
