ben_vulpes: <danielpbarron> https://twitter.com/danielpbarron/status/577976775449300992 << this is the most badass thing
ben_vulpes: ;;later tell jurov <jurov> ben_vulpes rly? you want patches for makeshift build scripts? << look either you run diff or the n people running the list do.
ben_vulpes: i brought my own last time so didn't have cause to go seeking, and no time this time.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes i was talking about the nodes they were using tro "spy on bitcoin" aka "repackage freely available information for the bezzle idiots"
ben_vulpes: hey speaking of where are the eager young sluts to be found in bsas?
ben_vulpes: <mircea_popescu> [19:53] indescript house in omaha, married, with children. about as boring as it gets. << orgies on the yangtzee with bill gates
ben_vulpes: <mircea_popescu> [19:01] really there was absolutely no reason (apart from their tim swansonesque contemptuous idiocy) to make the nodes visible. << feel free to block 0.5.3.1 nodes if you can find them, reddit.
ben_vulpes: <mircea_popescu> [18:57] but for one thing it's bullshit and for the other thing, it doesn't really wash. << nor do the workmen, and for that matter why would anyone want to be of the unwashed masses?
ben_vulpes: man the temptation to quote out of context is p. strong.
ben_vulpes: ;;later tell nubbins "if i had a vanilla linux box here, it'd likely be no sweat" << heard of a thing called "vagrant"? "virtualbox"?
ben_vulpes: <nubbins`> if i had a vanilla linux box here, it'd likely be no sweat << heard of a thing called "vagrant"? "virtualbox"?
ben_vulpes: <mod6> i have this idea in my mind that people know what stuff is i guess. << i keep falling for this one too.
ben_vulpes: oh man that video of subcontinental sweets is baaaad
megadeth: Mircea, a personal thank you from my side for 1) Placing your money on the bitbet. 2) Spending your personal wealth in the well being of BTC.
ben_vulpes: ;;later tell brendafdez hey where's that shopping list
ben_vulpes: "it was cold and completely different to Africa"
ben_vulpes: <mircea_popescu> "Parents divorced at age of 9 years..." << wow jeez that's some painfully bad shit
assbot: Shanti Dynamite - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia ... ( http://bit.ly/1xwI6U9 )
BingoBoingo: Oh, I'm not talking the crops
mircea_popescu: well they wouldn't be picking the ones that didn't.
decimation: possibly, but they could probably get started by picking the plants that survived the spraying
BingoBoingo: decimation> usg helps make roundup resistant cocaine << Honestly wouldn't be surprised if the cartels innovated that themselves
mircea_popescu: and they wanted to go to where cocaine is made and congratulate the people on their great discovery.
decimation: I've heard that chicken farmers actually become somewhat immune to the extreme ammonia smell
mircea_popescu: because the hot peppers are like lsd + speed, while cocaine is basically sugar++
mircea_popescu: also they want two things from earth : hot peppers
mircea_popescu: so the et are known as ... the pissed upons.
assbot: Pisatii pe Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu. ... ( http://bit.ly/1xwGwBJ )
mircea_popescu: http://trilema.com/2012/pisatii/ << btw, ancient sf of mine. the central idea being that et come, their home atmosphere is heavy in amonia, so they have some special suits to recycle the amonia, which somewhat leak... which leaks smell like... stale piss.
decimation: and doesn't copy bits off the air and save them to 'encrypted storage' without intervention
asciilifeform: or, likely, in the room you're sitting in.
decimation: actually, since apple controls the complete stack all the way down to silicon, they are in a unique position to actually deliever, but didn't
decimation: it's just that they failed to deliver anything
decimation: well, they did actually appear to spend alot of time 'giving a fuck'
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: It's just the cascade of fail yudo shits out
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> but shows how much of a fuck was actually given << or how much of a fuck was available to give.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo was just answering that.
decimation: if you read the apple whitepaper on the iphone 5 security, you see they play all kinds of shell games attempting to keep keys in temporary buffers so that the storage can be 'encrypted' while still able to receive texts, unlock screen, etc
decimation: asciilifeform: the ultimate problem is not actually having a secure terminal, but pretending that you do
asciilifeform: not that it would have made a serious difference in the end -
assbot: So how's magic work ? pe Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu. ... ( http://bit.ly/1xwFQfJ )
mircea_popescu: soon as you log in for the first time.
mircea_popescu: Please write down the following login information
decimation: asciilifeform: yeah. apple supposedly spent years trying to make the device secure
mircea_popescu: it's them alright.
asciilifeform: 'What is surprising however is that this still works even with the “Erase data after 10 attempts” configuration setting enabled. Our initial analysis indicates that the IP Box is able to bypass this restriction by connecting directly to the iPhone’s power source and aggressively cutting the power after each failed PIN attempt, but before the attempt has been synchronized to flash memory.' << mega-l0l!
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i dunno, so they can claim the most valuable email address in bitcoin space as "a customer" ?
decimation: lolz > http://blog.mdsec.co.uk/2015/03/bruteforcing-ios-screenlock.html < can bruteforce the 4-digit pin on the iphone 5 in 40 seconds
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: do the links contained in the turd point to the genuine site ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: sounds like forged headers (why would the actual 'bitstamp' spam ? wtf is the point)
decimation: I'm sure they found a way to game the feds out of bezzlars in exchange for piles of fake weed
decimation: re: fake drug seizures < if you drill down in the report, you find that 96% of the 'ditchweed' was destroyed in just one state: indiana
mircea_popescu: " Content preview: Dear Alare Kool, thank you for registering at Bitstamp exchange service! At this point you have just contributed a great deal to future of decentralized monetary market." ☟︎
decimation: mircea_popescu: the first rule of customer service is to ignore the customer
mircea_popescu: if anyone was wondering how those "users" keep going up...
mircea_popescu: Subject: Welcome to Bitstamp From: "Bitstamp" <noreply@bitstamp.net>
decimation: asciilifeform: one wonders why some of this kind of thing has appeared to 'stick' to hillary but hasn't to obama
decimation: lol that's awesome
asciilifeform: though the 'how' is trivial.
asciilifeform recalls reading patents for fiber keyboards but never saw any hint of such a thing in production.
decimation: asciilifeform: it's a shame that nobody produces an 'englebart violin' chorded entry device
asciilifeform: not to same extent
asciilifeform: decimation: damnably poor idea - easy 'optical tempest' intercept if anyone can see your body move
decimation: asciilifeform: you could use the telegraph keyer like that ru chick
asciilifeform: or, failing that, mechanical vibration (as in early 'spark gap' cad tablets of the '70s)
asciilifeform: to round out the keyboard thread, i am quite close to being convinced of the necessity of keyboard with optical fiber for mechanism
decimation: yeah here's the tool: http://qsy.to/pcr/talkpcr.html < works for pcr-100
decimation: and the res bandwidth is not small
decimation: aye. the problem is that the sweep rate is usually very low
decimation: there was a windows tool that turned the pcr-1000 into a spectrum analyzer - not fast but it kinda worked
asciilifeform wonders if -everybody- has this one
decimation: I have the 1000, it's a good unit
decimation: heh the icom pcr-1000?
asciilifeform: i only have the equivalent of a 'copper toilet' here.
asciilifeform: decimation: the rf amp is the golden toilet
asciilifeform: decimation: yes but entirely useless for this application.
asciilifeform could probably achieve more with an actual spectrum analyzer, but would have to sell organs
mircea_popescu: well yea, will take some tinkering.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: yes but to have precisely same radiating profile
decimation: which may have obvious side effects on the circuitry
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: ideal materials for this artistic project is controller from identical kbd, with keyswitch faker attached
decimation: the other solution is to insert a differential filter (lowpass) in the actual scan array circuit
mircea_popescu: you are immune to it, yourself, because wires.
mircea_popescu: fact remains you can add a chunk to generate fake keypresses right next to it.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i understnad how the matrix thing works.
asciilifeform: the array itself appears to radiate also.
decimation: asciilifeform: I understand, I'm talking about the connection between the microprocessor and the scan array
asciilifeform: decimation: not coming from the cable!
decimation: common mode chokes create an impedence to the common mode circuit - you would have to pass both signal and ground through them. a mix #43 toroid with several turns of both signal and ground would help
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: think, scan matrix
decimation: www.yccc.org/Articles/W1HIS/CommonModeChokesW1HIS2006Apr06.pdf < I recommend this
decimation: some ferrite might help, but it takes quite a bit to make a difference
asciilifeform: decimation: more than willing
decimation: asciilifeform: there might be little you can do unless you are willing to modify the internal circuitry
decimation: asciilifeform: it could be from the cord
scoopbot: New post on Trilema by Mircea Popescu: http://trilema.com/2015/so-hows-magic-work/
BingoBoingo: Du's prolly close to the optimal choice though
mircea_popescu: "would have been cheaper to buy afghanistan than to conquer it was"
mircea_popescu: not so different from what the us is doing currently.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: The gun itself yes, the bullet, no
