mircea_popescu: here's
a temporary moment of clarity : ALL physchoactives are neurotoxic. this is the DEFINITION of psychoactive.
mircea_popescu: wait wait. you mean to tell me every time i walk into
a damas lavatory i'm misgendering myself ?
ben_vulpes: > "I momentarily resented having to misgender myself by attending
a women's group ( I'm non-binary ) ..."
BingoBoingo:
A WINNRAR: "The anxiety of being dankrupt horrified me and so I’d keep around waxes and vape pens and various other concentrates (even though they were too strong for my taste) just because I knew they’d be there when the flower inevitably ran out. I tried to get midis, strains with lower levels of THC, from the dispensary but they looked at me funny from behind the counter when I said I didn’t want to get too high."
BingoBoingo: You know how it works on glaucoma... GEM: "I got
a brain scan and after eight years of chronic use the vasoconstrictive properties of the substance had made my organ’s surface go from smooth and uniform to pockmarked and lumpy. I was told that I was lucky that it hadn’t turned out worse."
mircea_popescu: tes before the story rapidly folds as if this horror of horrors, the fucking trip, is so scary it can't even be contemplated, just
a glimpse suffices and should be immediately forgotten."
mircea_popescu: "The sad truth of the matter is that the ustard male inverses the story of his revered antecessors. If
a century ago the youth, inept like all youths, stubborn like all youths, took
a whole two minutes to start on his journey of exploration and then proceeded to actually journey for an hour and
a half, the manchild of "modern democracy" takes about an hour to finally, grudgingly, angrily proceed to travel for
a whole two minu
mircea_popescu: can't have
a faux media piece without "on the day of the moon landing i was eating an apple pie" '''human''' bullshit.
phf: THE MYSTERY OF HUMAN LOVE". they go at it from all kinds of angles, his relationship with watson, his relationship with cops, his relationship with random english suburban twats; all written from
a perspective of "he's alien, but maybe he's just the rest of us blokes, once you get to know him like, maybe grab
a pint on sunday". an element completely missing from the originals.
a111: Logged on 2017-07-23 00:09 asciilifeform: i actually liked
a recent (gasp) item, 'rick & morty'
mircea_popescu: one particularly active hive is trying to eat up
a whole window.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> ( there was
a proposal to introduce lions to u.s. flyovers. but afaik went nowhere, insufficient bison ) << Mountain lion is restablishing self at own pace
mircea_popescu: it should be noted that i have at least
a dozen different wasp nests actively maintained all about.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> BingoBoingo i've yet to be stung by anything. reports of dangerous wildlife experimentally exaggerated. << Well what caterpillar of doom can penetrate your impecable suit jackets on
a casual brushing?
mod6: <+asciilifeform> 'you are now
a tasty sandwich' << kekekek
mod6: BingoBoingo: makes sense, I just dun have
a 4.8 avail atm
a111: Logged on 2017-07-22 22:56 asciilifeform: entirely and completely cremating whatever motherfucking point their worthless piece of shit had for
a justification of existence to begin with
mircea_popescu: leaving aside who the fuck cares what the pron dudes do. what, i'm going to fuck
a girl in that god-awful position of her straddling with her back to me because there's
a camera in my livingroom too ?
mircea_popescu: i can't imagine who'd eat
a girl out out of feeling of obligation.
user705: not at all. my original point was that the eating out of chicks is coming back into vogue so to speak because of the wide availability of porn where the mail talent is larger then average thus genpop of males is more conscious of making sure
a female finishes ergo more eating out
mircea_popescu: i suppose you could propose they were some sort of minor nobility or whatever, but it's at best tenuous. for all intents and purposes napoleon was
a sort of hitler, lower middle class at best.
PeterL: I understand the "decrypt with each key until the message looks like
a good message", but I was trying to think of the algorith for saying "that must be
a good message"?
PeterL: no, I was thinking: friend sends you message, now you have to pick
a key to decrypt with

http://btcbase.org/log/2017-07-22#1689243 << depends what you mean by "rsa encrypted message".
a) current rsa "encryption" as implemented by koch-gpg et al consists of encrypting
a symmetric key. trivial to test this against
a number of rsa keys. b) conceivably item will include
a courtesy key fp to help you know.
mod6: this is all pre SMP type shit, and trying to figure all of that out. ofc, my memory is
a bit sketchy, that was like ... 14 years ago.
mod6: it seemed to have
a slow decline from there.
mod6: as far as freebsd, I feel like the 4.3 was pretty good, but there was
a lot of in-fighting regarding technical decisions. this lead to Matt Dillon leaving and forking dragonfly.
mod6: i've honestly had
a bitch of
a time with it recently.
mod6: not
a huge surprise, perhaps with all the right things in place (if that's even possible) and it "works" then one could build
a real one from it's source.

☝︎☟︎ a111: Logged on 2017-07-22 22:24 PeterL: (I have been thinking about gossipd, it is
a fascinating subject)
PeterL: so for gossipd, I get
a message, and (assuming it was encrypted to me) I can tell which of my keys it was encrypted to
mod6: <+asciilifeform> i'm about to attempt openbsd gnat << sweet, let me know how it goes, i've got
a obsd box.
PeterL: yeah, I was wondering about how it was horrid, but then later you suggested it as
a good idea, I see the difference is having two separate keys encrypting the two parts
a111: Logged on 2016-12-24 01:11 asciilifeform: so one ~horrid~ padding algo would be to get
a bitstring from my rng, xor the message to it, then send
a message of 2x length of original consisting of: [the bitstring from rng][the result of the xor]
PeterL: (I have been thinking about gossipd, it is

☟︎ user705: the tit sucking thing is bound to be
a leftover from childhood but certainly not eating
a chick out
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> honestly i'd rather work on that tuna. << Tongue is
a collection of muscles that can condition for endurance!
mircea_popescu: i don't particularly want to be as flexible as
a vixen willow in any case.
user705: yeah flexibility will always be
a losing battle since their bodies were designed to pop out clones but stamina is just
a matter of conditioning
mircea_popescu: so i joined the whores going to the gym. my first time in
a gym at that! it was discovered that yes i'm
a lot more powerful than they are, but i have neither the flexibility nor the endurance.
☟︎ BingoBoingo: Simply but
a string in that isn't formatted unlike an email address, at least on qntra
mircea_popescu: for one thing, sometimes my
a is /
a/ and sometimes /ə/. and even some other times /ɨ/.
phf: but that's an alternative solution, since unicode claims taxonomy of symbols. "
A" as written by mp in 2017 is not necessarily different from "
A" written by mp during other times (but it might map to different
A's within taxonomy, e.g. latin or cyrillic one). in case of japs they claim that the new symbol actually carries additional meaning
a111: Logged on 2016-08-03 15:40 phf: the whole font changes meaning take two is coming from the japanese. they were actively promoting this idea back during early unicode standardization days, where there was
a strong drive to include every idiosyncratic version of kanji in the standard, because "that's how my family writes it in our last name".
mircea_popescu: "the letter
A as written in summer 2017 by MP" seems almost sufficient blather doesn't it.
mircea_popescu: the only correct unicode, is, obviously, dated font tables. whereby i write in the year-specified letter
a. and to read my modern story typeset in fraktur you have to set your computer clock to year 1199 or else the machine will refuse to print ("error! temproally-unavailable fonts detected!") much like gedit refuses to open files in gnome.
phf: vaguely relatedly: if you drink unicode cool aid, shouldn't cyrillic latin subset like "
a" be unified with the latin equivalent, along the lines of han unification? and then you introduce "linguist context surrogate" or whatever to actually give the glyph proper i18n aware shape? or perhaps that information should be contained purely in font, i.e. "russian" font has latin
A rendered with russian typographic conventions. #makeunicodegreatagain
mircea_popescu: csaba the csaker could be
a grandiose character, though.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform no but see, it's
a big deal, chick didn't shit her panties.
mircea_popescu: adding
a "well, the detector pointed this way" answer to the repertoir wouldn't hurt jack.
mircea_popescu: fun fact : it should be able to detect
A PARTY (say, mingled perfumes in trace amts) from
a reasonable distance away.
phf: mircea_popescu: you missed asciilifeform's "page 2: how to get
a girl from irc chat?"
phf: article on "hacker style" "how does he dress? where he buys clothes?" "how does
a real hacker speak?"
mircea_popescu: laugh, but from the trouble it gives randos i would expect "how to trilema" is like sitting on
a warez pedestal somewhere.
phf: yeah, pretty much. but 2600 has the whole "fight the powa!!1" vibe to it, this is more of
a trashy 16 y/o internet club rats learning how to deface websites.
phf: xakep magazine is sort of like "the hackers" movie. everybody made fun of it, and everybody bought
a copy every month
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the game has no actual use for cards, it just uses cards to generate some random numbers. it's not
a card game, properly speaking, not anymore than using your car engine for powering your laptop makes the assemblage "it"
mircea_popescu:
a sort of fairness-and-equality-through-simplicity-and-poverty is required for such things. kinda why orange revolutions work, when they do.
mircea_popescu: anyway, the discussion of card cheating brings us to an inverse of that ancient towers point (
http://btcbase.org/log/2015-10-31#1312420 ) : it is only in prison that technology is sufficiently limited for the "cheating -- allowed" approach to work. yes, it does work well, and yes it is very warmly human. but it is also
a strong part of the rural vs urban dispute, in that it is strictly
a matter of rurality, and can not live
