mod6: Also, the latest Bitcoin Foundation report was published to the ML: http://therealbitcoin.org/ml/btc-dev/2019-January/000321.html
mod6: How goes tmsr~? I ~think~ that I have a working wp-mp now. I've converted over my most recent blog post about diana_coman's V Genesis. If you see something broken, or similar please let me know.
mircea_popescu: wait, is this gentoo or cuntoo ?
asciilifeform: aaand got vt200ism to ~work -- but for display only. arrow keys still do nuffin. hence cannot toggle knobs.
mircea_popescu: people got really excited about the whole tv txt mode or w/e that was called
asciilifeform: ( sadly all the fast 'alphas' are )
asciilifeform: i dunthink classic dec had this horror either (who the fuq! needs colour blinkies in a bios setup?!) , it's a post-compaq-acquisition box
asciilifeform: i only run into this when i pull ancient cursed irons from the dark depths.
mircea_popescu: i suspect a large part of why i like it is that i never run into this kinda problem. i had to futz about ansi terminal standards literally never.
asciilifeform: dec otoh wanted to be speshulsnowflake and their firmware console is... vt220
asciilifeform: was hoping there was a simple 'vt220 rightnao' flag i overlooked.
asciilifeform: yea digging into that pile o'shit atm
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform look into termcap macro thingee
asciilifeform: ( asciilifeform is, shit thee not, engentooating a dec alpha )
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu & other 'gnu screen' people -- anybody recall how to switch the thing to vt220 ?

mircea_popescu: so there you go.
mircea_popescu: but there's more to it -- running around the hillside belongs in the fucking hillside, i'll just not camp there.
mircea_popescu: if nothing else the "online" is unhealthy.

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-01-02#1883990 << fwiw i dun distinguish the 2 kabikus, both -- snoar from asciilifeform's pov ☝︎
asciilifeform: ( followed by discussion of particulars, but imho this suffices for thread )
asciilifeform: he report. from the age of five, i knew what is 'last round' -- the little shining key that opens in your skull (or heart, tastes vary) the door to soviet Valhalla. the pistol always seems to me not simply a personal, but an intimate weapon, a tuning fork by which one measured resolve: put its barrel to your noggin, and think, will you be able to pull the trigger when the right time comes ? the warring motherland , surrounded by foes
asciilifeform: 'i remember all of my pistols. there wasn't a single one that i hadn't blown out my brains with at least once. we used to shoot ourselves often in those days. pistols and revolvers were indispensable toybox inventory, all kinds : on batteries, with buzzing motors inside, of tin, stinking of burned popgun ribbon, ones that merely snapped, emitted at least a clanking sound, and silent ones, where the throat was called upon to imitate t
asciilifeform: the spring in toy 'nagant' notably, was quite possibly stiffer than in actual nagant which i fired many yrs later
asciilifeform: ( and even the theatrics, tended to be made of cast iron and quite realistic in mass, if not function )
asciilifeform: in '80s su they were obv. theatrics, but allegedly in earlier times they were sometimes made from 'de-mil' actual pistol.
a111: Logged on 2019-01-02 21:27 mircea_popescu: anyone even remembers those things ? long strip of ticker tape rolled up, with spots of gunpowder or w/e, phosphorus in the middle, pistol had a hammer that fell on the spot made some noise and some smoke.
BingoBoingo: Granted this was also the time fireworks went from roughly what the Latinos get today to something that required crossing the state line into Missouri for anything other than pussy sparklers and popcaps
mircea_popescu: so it'd have been preferable if retarded cuntspawn spent its days with THAT, rather than http://btcbase.org/log/2018-08-01#1838623 ☝︎☟︎
mircea_popescu: the only problem is, kids running around with popguns are VERY easy for me to ignore -- witness the 0 import or effect of all the "bust a cap in yo ass" nigglet morons.
BingoBoingo: Well near the end they also switched from tape to rings of 8 charges
mircea_popescu: "too violent" or w/e, "insufficiently respectful of the cunt worlview"
BingoBoingo: There were indeed plastic versions for short time
BingoBoingo: I remember. They started to disappear from retail something around second grade when anything that wasn't Chicom plastic got purged from the walmart toy shelves
mircea_popescu: anyone even remembers those things ? long strip of ticker tape rolled up, with spots of gunpowder or w/e, phosphorus in the middle, pistol had a hammer that fell on the spot made some noise and some smoke. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform this entire, "anonymous" "deep web" etc is the cowboy hat and snap toy pistol of the 2010s.
diana_coman: trinque, how's it going with getting the Cuntoo .vpatch in fixed shape? ☟︎
asciilifeform: came with buncha 'sample' dox crapola, but near as i can tell it's a snoar
diana_coman: ahahah, the intro there sounds like the typical school composition
asciilifeform: i've actually found decent (not constant time, but didn't need, it only checked sigs) rsatrons in malware samples -- kB or so of asm. it aint exactly mystery, how to bake
asciilifeform: on top of these, 4 or 5 iron 'libs' ('smartcards', etc), where even sadder algos in use
mircea_popescu: yeah, and their name is collectively "koch" and "the gnu foundation"
asciilifeform: ( the punchline is that koch, ssl, etc are ~in this set~ )
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: re 'homebrew crypto', there actually was a 1990s plague of commercial shitware folx who flunked arithmetic and then went to 'implement rsa', with exponent = 1 and so on
asciilifeform: what 'jobs' made of << i'm still stuck in 1990s, where they're 'made of' winblowz bugs..
mircea_popescu: then the INSTANTLY!!!!! turns into minutes, that turn into long hours and longer days, weeks and whatever, eventually the idea forms in the precious cuntlet's brainbox that no, just because she's never heard anyone call her stupid before dun mean jack ; and all this "consensus" of silence is in the end exactly that : a consensus OF SILENCE.
mircea_popescu: biquarterly i get a "but mp, you know how you could really improve trilema readership ?! MAKE IT AN APP!!!" "why ?" "because i have unexamined headcockroaches about the influence, importance and interest of social media" "how about we put your cunt on your linkedin and see how long until someone says something ?" "FAPFAPFAPFAP"
mircea_popescu: what do you think all those "jobs" out there are made out of.
asciilifeform: i thought it was a www '2.0' thingie
asciilifeform: until nao i had nfi there were ~app~ lol
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it's the app, not the platform.
mircea_popescu: "do we already have to DO this" conversation whereby who the fuck told mary sue moron she's the center of the world ?
asciilifeform: curious, turdroid behave same ? or in fact displays ?
mircea_popescu: here, have a recent sample : AL_GA_Peach 26F Exploring "The message literally cuts off after whatever it is you’re. I don’t know not having all of the information is a mark against my intelligence but okay."
a111: Logged on 2014-06-04 00:08 asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: the buggers' traditional defense is to pretend that the event was a non-event - or, if this is impractical, to continue living in an imaginary world where they 'scooped' the story first, and all of the 'unsanctioned' discussion never happened.
asciilifeform: it's the same old http://btcbase.org/log/2014-06-04#700916 algo, 4evah, neh ☝︎
mircea_popescu: AS FUCKING IF it is or ever could be the case ~they're~ the mp of this world or something.
a111: Logged on 2018-05-04 17:15 zx2c4: mircea_popescu: oh. so. "the world doesnt care about the cool hackers on the internet, but only the assholes with prestigious positions." this has been a widely known complaint for a long time
mircea_popescu: what's hilarious is the ever-present http://trilema.com/2017/global-warming-on-triton/#selection-154.0-157.103 whereby they'll imaginarily seat themselves in my seat and start spewing http://btcbase.org/log/2018-05-04#1809349 slash assorted nonsense about "homebrew crypto" lalala. ☝︎☟︎☟︎
asciilifeform: imho it's pretty hilarious, that the heathens think they have 'crypto libs' that 'work'
asciilifeform: ( tldr : gmp not only relies on 'assert's to barf on various 'prohibited' conditions like even moduli, but barfs coredump ~with seekritz~ and ~cannot be switched off~ )
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: In their dreams, that's San Fernando. Hollywood jacks off into plants nowadays, per Miramax.
mircea_popescu: comfortable people don't do things worth watching.
mircea_popescu: preferably on-cam. the fundamental moment of cinema is when mr talking potatohead whips out a home-brought stick of butter and unexpectedly buttseks maria schneider over her amazed surprise. naught else.
asciilifeform: ( in turn designed by freud... )
asciilifeform: iirc he even gets specially-issued leather couch for this
mircea_popescu: cuz that is the fucking job of the producer, i don't care what "american moron's association" "trade practices" are. as long as it's a set, and something'\s shooting, the producer's job is to rape the talent.
asciilifeform: for asciilifeform , hollywood began (and mostly ended) with those bootleg vhs cassettes in 1990.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile, the last time anything worth watching had anyone from our colonies involved was... about then.
mircea_popescu: hey, "nobody watches pulp fiction because [some anon schmuck claimed she was raped by] Weinstein", i actuallty heard this said (by some girly who never saw any movie worth the mention in her ~~~entire~~~ coupla decades. they say this, too, like it's a thing. "my whole life". )
asciilifeform: atm it's some (unknown to me) % chetty's gen.
asciilifeform: granted, scythe of 'father time' does impose an asymptotic bound on the whole thing. eventually usg will be 100% resemble staff of arsebook, google, etc, then curtain call.
mircea_popescu: so yes, implicit notion of hierarchy, xy > xx. no more than that, not really, but some hierarchy, no matter how fducking stupid, still beats none.
asciilifeform: it also seems to coexist with a cohort of folx hired in '60,70s,80s, greybeards, who actually built some working stuff
mircea_popescu: xx could at the very most be secretary.
mircea_popescu: brit thing entirely unrelated to this.
mircea_popescu: no, we're talking of "we're all in this together and women may even be a part of it and we're not even gonna call them tailhookers, invent pompous nonsense like 'hr' and seat everyone at a table" bs.
asciilifeform: we're still talkin' of same thing, neh ? brit-style military bureaucracy. 9000 titles, chains of command, rigour 'to point of rigour mortis' ... neh ?
asciilifeform: ok i cannot resist to bite; how does this work
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: bureaucracy very much has concept of hierarchy tho.
asciilifeform: it imho makes sense tho that the most idiotic/bruteforce-powered ( per naggum's http://www.loper-os.org/?p=165#selection-265.249-265.730 formulation ) usgisms, also leak the most .
asciilifeform: imho e.g. diddled pgp rng, is moar interesting than firefucks buffer overrun, the latter is used 9000/d but for whom is used the former i have nfi, it hasn't publicly leaked.
asciilifeform: eh the notion there from start was 'goodstuff is used sparingly'. but i've nfi where used.
mircea_popescu: i think of the various strange ideas you started off with, this "hitler is intellectually respectable, does great magicks" thing fared the worst.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-01-02#1883888 << the sores of the boobytrap leaked same yr, it was mightily disappointing ( no fancy trojan, but instead a little thing that sent back victim's external ip / winblowz ver / nic addr / etc, sorta like what microshit itself sends out when winblowz crash ) ☝︎
asciilifeform: at some point i'ma do the bernsteinizer in straight asm. ( but this is ~9000th on the list of things-to-do atm )
mircea_popescu: that's what i mean, they're "clever"
asciilifeform: the 'uncut' gmp is not afaik used anywhere in our mechanisms, with the exception of phuctor, where a (patched) variant is used for bernsteinization
asciilifeform: at some point if i can be arsed to read their sores, will find out what, specifically.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i didnt try patching out the test ( given as it's got montgomery, the answer will be soup ) but did try for odd exp, got ~same~ as for the nonconstanttime gmp knob ( which is pretty hilarious, means that they dun do anything differently for 'constant time' variant, evidently )
asciilifeform: how they enforce this, is apparently like this
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: montgomery demands that mod an' exp be ~coprime~
mircea_popescu: patch out the test, i guess. they're "clever" like that.
a111: Logged on 2019-01-02 17:33 asciilifeform: https://gmplib.org/manual/Integer-Exponentiation.html#Integer-Exponentiation >> 'void mpz_powm_sec (mpz_t rop, const mpz_t base, const mpz_t exp, const mpz_t mod) ... It is required that exp > 0 and that mod is odd.'
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-01-02#1883866 << it says the ~mod~ has to be odd, not the exp. the exp nonzero. ☝︎
trinque: afaik they're just displaying the rdns in deedbot's case, isn't a cloak
mircea_popescu: anyway, what's the idea, nickserv rejects your call if un"encrypted" ?
mircea_popescu: that they are. i mean nothing wrong with having, and it's an achievement for say nicoleci to get herself one ; but i wouldn't base design decisions on them.
