asciilifeform: buncha other various ( laser printers, photo equip, etc ) also , but really belongs at junkyard

asciilifeform: i suppose i oughta also mention 2 21-inch trinitrons, one of which -- brand-new, ~1hr of runtime.

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-05-14#1655937 thread ☝︎

asciilifeform: and i think this completes the list of items somebody in l1 might actually want.

asciilifeform: other notable junk includes.... cnc milling machine ( asciilifeform-built controller , brand-new steppers )

asciilifeform: 2 dec alphas remain, plus a megatonne of other yet-uncatalogued .

asciilifeform: the lispm is finally gone tho.

asciilifeform: and buncha else.

asciilifeform: with indices.

asciilifeform: aha

asciilifeform: plus compressor, exhaust pump, water chiller.

asciilifeform: sorta like a ming vase in a steel coffin ( sized for a 5 y.o. )

asciilifeform: or how breakable.

asciilifeform: any idea what the thing weighs

asciilifeform: didja think it could come ?!

asciilifeform: anybody want 1958 'britannica' ? 60 yrs of 'sci am' ? co2 laser ? lol

asciilifeform: asciilifeform likewise will have a rail car's worth of goodies to liquidate ☟︎

asciilifeform: aaa ~that~ is what BingoBoingo meant by 'condense physicals'

asciilifeform: so not really i/o-bound

asciilifeform: fits in ram, and prolly will for foreseeable future.

asciilifeform: pretty compact.

asciilifeform: ( is it even over 100 MB ? )

asciilifeform: how much does the workingset weigh, BingoBoingo ?

asciilifeform: ( even, say, a pogo )

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-11-09#1734789 << for that matter would work even better on a 'pcengines' or other small machine with GB nic + ssd . ☝︎

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: there is not such a thing as a sane fiatolistan. but otoh it is difficult to do worse than usa.

asciilifeform recalls rolling crate of pogos, for c3, and paying 0 because nobody wanted to try to compute duty

asciilifeform: what's the duty on an ancient comp anyway

asciilifeform: you also running opterons, BingoBoingo ?

asciilifeform: presumably -- miser

asciilifeform: afaik if you make it externally baglike (i.e. with handle) and it fits in mass/dimensions given by carrier -- they'll carry it

asciilifeform: if not -- freight

asciilifeform: if you put it in a bag -- bag.

asciilifeform: is generally good packing.

asciilifeform: but i prefer the crate the machine shipped in

asciilifeform: look in music 'dj' catalogue, they make cases

asciilifeform: lol

asciilifeform: ( say, 1024byte (n,e) ; then 512byte signature , of a message, e.g., 'please call me pile_of_cement' )

asciilifeform: moar than enough for 4096b (512byte) modulus, same size exponent, and massive chunk of errorcode.

asciilifeform: 2953 ~bytes~

asciilifeform: oh hm nm

asciilifeform: ( for standard qrtrons )

asciilifeform: so, eh, you'll need 2 of'em.

asciilifeform: or hm, the iso std says otherwise, it's 1 .. 4296 alphanumerics, but only max 2953 8bit bytes per iso-compliant qr.

asciilifeform: ( 4096bits )

asciilifeform: right off the lcd.

asciilifeform: which reads just fine with my ancient 'blaster gun'

asciilifeform: incidentally, quick experiment gives http://www.loper-os.org/pub/512_letter_a.png ☟︎

asciilifeform: aa

asciilifeform: ( or he does ? but 'with disgust' ? )

asciilifeform: lol i thought ben_vulpes wrote clojure proggies for a living

asciilifeform: but from ashes, we get magical bird, which then... or was that in another tale.

asciilifeform: lol!

asciilifeform: ( tldr : 13125 bytes on 2sided business card , after luby )

asciilifeform: ( re physical handling of pubkeys : another possibly interesting old asciilifeform crackpottery : http://btcbase.org/log/2017-06-01#1664335 ) ☝︎

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-10-03#1551908 << thread ☝︎

asciilifeform: ( nearly everybody at one time went to dentist, or whatever surgeon, got opiated . how many want to take it up ? )

asciilifeform: but re opium specifically mircea_popescu's idea is almost certainly troo : opium isn't actually fun for ~most people

asciilifeform: dunno that this carries universally -- could just easily say 'caesar should have grown his chitinous plate on his chest, so as not to be stabbed'

asciilifeform: or can we blame syphilis

asciilifeform: is this after opium caught on , or wat

asciilifeform: d'épouser la foule << ugh

asciilifeform: e.g. payload=foo&turd=bar

asciilifeform: http POST takes >1 param, neh

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-09-02#1709684 << ☝︎

asciilifeform: this was in old thread, re provably-fair pokerators , mircea_popescu shared the algo.

asciilifeform: aha?

asciilifeform: ( when submitting url, can throw in optional value that gets xor'd with the server-generated . )

asciilifeform: here's a possible idea : why not use mircea_popescu's poker .

asciilifeform: can at least avoid applying the obviously deadly , incorrect one.

asciilifeform: ( it can't be a function of the payload, or of the clock )

asciilifeform: but description is general , re 'how to make non-predictable gensym'

asciilifeform: we do as soon as asciilifeform parks a box !

asciilifeform: ( if latter is true : make new one )

asciilifeform: ideally the paste magick comes from s := get-string-from-FG followed by see-if-unexpired-paste-with-s-exists

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-04-05#1637598 << possibly here ☝︎

asciilifeform: iirc we had a similar thread re tx-id.

asciilifeform: can reference by anything convenient. so long as not entertaining the seductive but very dangerous notion that the reference ~is~ the item.

asciilifeform: i even have a phriend whose postage addr barely fits in one...

asciilifeform: i must say even sadder noose, i dun have an rsatron that fits in irc line either...

asciilifeform: i dun currently see any crack in this big enough for my crowbar.

asciilifeform: afaik this is so.

asciilifeform: hm.

asciilifeform: and it's sufficient index until, i suppose , 5000 yrs pass and there are two old sages, each called himself mircea_popescu and each used modulus N, each left great body of alchemical works, but they had different, see, pub-e's.... lel

asciilifeform: ( it won't affect existing sigs by trooo key , etc )

asciilifeform: returning to the exponent thing, seems that mircea_popescu is right, nothing particularly interesting can be done by distributing a pub with e' . ( other than 'believe me , his e is 3' and then messages ~to that pub~ are breakable if padding is broken. but that' sit . ) ☟︎

asciilifeform: 'never happened, hoax, move along.'

asciilifeform: betcha it will be unhappened before day is done

asciilifeform: meanwhile, in heathendom, 'parody horizon' -- https://archive.is/cQItH >> 'Facebook tests fighting revenge porn by asking users to file nude photos first'

asciilifeform does, whenever fielding new gpgtronic box

asciilifeform: hats off to trinque , if he manually inspects moduli.

asciilifeform: ditto if faux-asciilifeform sends trinque a pgpgram, 'my new key is...' -- it will verify.

asciilifeform: ( unsurprising koch mechanics )

asciilifeform: incidentally , if trinque at any point imports the collision-key, it will overwrite the old, silently ☟︎

asciilifeform: v-on-gpg however is fucked.

asciilifeform: nuffin, because it doesn't use signatures.

asciilifeform: the 2 aren't in any way similar.

asciilifeform: it's a fundamental untruth. because somewhere in phase space, waiting to be found, is 1 ( or 2, or 9000 ) collisions.

asciilifeform: *insidious

asciilifeform: mechanically linked 'this fp IS the key' item, however, is more insiduous.
