mircea_popescu: well you know it occurs
to me it'd be a lot more productive if you go in early with a "hey, could it please be c ? i would like
to run
this on mips" discussion
than a late paniucwhen guy picks whatever he happened
to pick.
artifexd: go compiles on
the big os's. Windows/Linux/OSX/BSD
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform what's
the problem anyway, you weren't going
to run his binaries ? no os compiler for it ?
artifexd: I have linux servers and vm's
that I use for
testing.
artifexd: I could write it in C or C++ but cross compiling is an absolute nightmare
that I choose not
to put up with.
davout: rfc sez "Steal gpg code - any version prior
to
the Snowden defection"
davout: iirc it said 'steal some gpg code' can be wrong here
tho
artifexd: I'm not going
to write in lisp.
davout: "later add
the option do
the crypto via a shell out
to gpg"
artifexd: <asciilifeform> speaking of which, did artifexd follow mircea_popescu's prescription and use a hacked gpg for 'gossip' ? << No. I'm using go's openpgp code. However, I'm structuring
the code so
that I can later add
the option do
the crypto via a shell out
to gpg.
Then you can use whatever version of gpg your heart desires.
mircea_popescu: so... what do you mean not everybody on
the internet is a dumbass ?
mircea_popescu: hey,
the average domestic animal regards its keeper as an animal of
the same age and
the same gender as it is.
davout: somehow
they're
too dumb
to realize
that
their 'tips' are more insulting and spammy
than anything...
mircea_popescu: yes. as ideas spread on
the internet,
the derps
they
touch become increasingly nonsensical.
davout: they kind of
think
that some random guy
that never heard about bitcoin will be
thrilled
to receive a fraction of a cent in magic internet money, redeem it, and start spreading adopshun
mircea_popescu: also, if
they never hear a dissenting opinion ever again
that'll be soon enough.
mircea_popescu: same here : not doing anything, but hey,
they're "involved" with bitcoin.
mircea_popescu: not learning anything, but hey,
they've gone
to college.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform no im pretty sure he has it. "they feel like
they're doing something". much like
their education.
ben_vulpes: love
the cameraphone in
the back
there
TomServo: That must be
the best use of vine
to date.
mircea_popescu: i mostly hung out with
the girls. and if
the girls didn't show up i mostly harrangued
the prof.
jurov: it was data capable, but plans were
too expensive
jurov: i don't know how i managed
to survive 4 hour lectures on uni, had only nokia brick
then
teward: mircea_popescu: please don't force me
to sit
through a 4 hour lecture on my own state's history without some distraction >.>
danielpbarron: if
that wasn't safe for your work
then you need
to find new work
teward is also *insanely* bored
today in class
teward: mircea_popescu: yes, just sayin for
those of us who IRC while in class from
the back of
the room... ;)
mircea_popescu: teward you are aware
this place has a history and so on, right ? read it and all ?
teward: mircea_popescu: you should probably
tag your NSFW as NSFW >.>
mircea_popescu: in
that it drastically limits
the pool of potential attackers and attackable material.
mircea_popescu: well, depending of what you actually need
to sign, never putting your signed matter over
the wire unencrypted can help a lot.
joecool: but i will continue
to read on
this and see if i can come up with a better way
to handle it
joecool: mircea_popescu: i was unaware of
the entropy issues on signing until after
this was implemented, until
then i had assumed it was only important
to generate
the keys
themselves with sufficient entropy
mircea_popescu: unrelatedly :
today i find
that prior
to 1820 or so, hawaii was all-nude, and
that
the proper an'
traditional hula dance is
to be done without panties or other apparel.
mircea_popescu: and inasmuch as you're a person rather
than an organisation, "forced coercion" is really not very much use.
mircea_popescu: entropy could be more important for encryption
than signing.
joecool: an adversary with large resources will likely be able
to get around
that
through forced coercion before even needing
to
try
to attack
the implementation (which I still believe would be a nontrivial
task unless
the system had a rootkit installed
that maliciously generated signatures,
that i would see on
the counter)
joecool: mircea_popescu:
there are
two major problems with
this implementation
that i see. both are problems
the cardano solves, 1.
the system knows it's a smartcard and malicious software could use it, and 2. weak entropy generation for signing
mircea_popescu: nobody ever said "if i'm ever in a fire i'll have bigger problems
than
this
tiny fire hydrant can solve"
mircea_popescu: that's not how you build effectual deterrence.
that's how you set yourself up
to shrem.
joecool: if i needed
to protect from a 3-letter agency i'd have bigger problems
than
the shortcomings of a smartcard
joecool: asciilifeform: it's just constant fighting
to do most anything with
the software, it's laid out poorly, simple
tasks like minting smartcards, i literally have
to back up
the config directory for it and copy
to mint more cards
mircea_popescu: they must PAY
To have such articles published. in
that
they're fraud.
cazalla: i use
to cover
the company A raises X amount of capital but have been skipping
them as you could really just word replace
the amount and company name from a previous article and be done with it. does anyone actually care about such
things and wishes
to see
them?
joecool: asciilifeform: it's just ugly ugly horrible software, unintuitive, i have
to swap out pinentry implementation between environments
joecool: i wish -assets would
take on attempting
to make gnupg2 less horrible, which is
the preferred version of gnupg in here anyway?
mircea_popescu: the one with "too important, i didn;t recognize him" had me rolling on
the floor lol
mircea_popescu: that's
the female prayer,
thank you allah for not having made me sheep (beast of field)
undata: better
than
turned into an islamic woman
