mircea_popescu: even if
theoretically
the planet is part of "everything"
mircea_popescu: even
the most accomplished anal insertion artist, who can
take ANYTHING would not survive a parachute-less parachute fall
justusranvier: There could be dedicated areas in
the memory space
that could be hardware wiped, and operations resumed from a hardcoded address.
That would be like a reboot.
unbalanced: Don't I need 2 hit points? Or just
the one?
mircea_popescu: yes well. marketingis not intended
to be
that hard semantically.
decimation: but presumably
the OS comes on an EPROM
decimation: pretty much all modern commercial OS's are on
the BSD family
tree somewhere
decimation: but ascii,
the article says
that HP has experience with HP-UX and "non-stop"
decimation: indeed a static global address space
that is persistant and usable would be a reasonable project
assbot: Loper OS »
Third Law of Sane Personal Computing
decimation: why can't folks simply "re-imagine"
the legos
they have in front of
them?
decimation: yeah
the IEEE
thing seems
to be more academi-tardation. quantum neuro whatever buzzword
unbalanced: Ermahgerd I fell *up*
the stairs. <beck>Things are gonna change, I can feel it.</beck>
benkay: ;;later
tell chax sorry i missed you
unbalanced: Right,
this is all just
text, it's just potentially a
ton of really-hard-to-read
text if you get it mixed up.
BingoBoingo: unbalanced: Well,
there's a bunch of other keyservers as well.
unbalanced: This just in, people... PKI works.
That is all.
unbalanced: It's not clear
to me exactly WTF I sync'd with in Seahorse or where I put my public key. Do you see it somewhere Bingo
to send a return message I could
try
to read?
mircea_popescu: course if i had it'd not have linked all
the darkcoin and "insurection" would have lead
to something about
the serenissima, but anyway
unbalanced: Or if one of
these sent me
to Seahorse months ago I don't see it now.

mircea_popescu: "Ever since
the venture capital scene started
talking about Bitcoin back in 2013, one of
the most frequently cited comments from
them is
that Bitcoin is interesting for
the
technology, not
the currency. In fact,
this mantra has become so common
that it almost sounds… scripted." << if you're curious as
to
the reason, it has
to do with
them not wanting
to go under
the yoke
that's been awaiting patiently and quite unav
mircea_popescu: anyway, great blog, kinda shitty platform. mebbe pankkake adds it
to
teh irker
mircea_popescu: If cheating can be easily detected and reversed,
then maybe it’s no longer essential
to prevent it at all costs and you can build it with a more palatable set of
trade offs. << in fact,
there's a reason business has since forever run on "eventually correct" bookkeeping
mircea_popescu: anyway. it seems
to me
that adding anything
to your latter
turns
the former into
the latter's logical counter.
justusranvier: I believe I convered
that possibility when I said "providing only
that
they can find a
trading partner willing
to deal with
them."
justusranvier: If no
third party can interfere with
the voluntary dealings of other people,
then anyone who desires
to participate can do so, providing only
that
they can find a
trading partner willing
to deal with
them.
mircea_popescu: i don't see why anything more is needed or desirable
than
the latter.
justusranvier: Not equivalent.
The latter is a necessary, but not sufficient, condition for
the former.
mircea_popescu: ".I want
to see a future digital economy in which nobody is excluded from participation." "No
third party should have
the ability
to interfere in
the voluntary dealings of other people." << do you see
these as logically equivalent ?
mircea_popescu: "Given all
these downsides, it should be apparent
that decentralization isn’t something
to aspire
to lightly. In fact, it may be better
to say
that decentralization as a design
technique is best reserved as a last resort, only
to be used when
there are no other suitable alternatives."
teward: asciilifeform: might be because something else is installed alongside seahorse for entropy generation, I dunno. CLI only
took an hour for 4096-bit keys.
mircea_popescu: where he had found a
tutorial on
the net
to make arbitrary length keys and was offering
this as a sort of forum-level braindamaged saas ?
teward: agreed, asciilifeform,
to be honest, CLI is my native environment, I prefer managing my keys via CLI. I just use Seahorse for generating,
the GUI has a
tiny bit more entropy, and I generate only 4096-strength keys :)
teward: i use it 100% of
the
time for pgp keyring management, and given I have 20 or so keys, well... :P
teward: this +v can last 2 minutes, but Seahorse is
the GUI for user-friendliness of GnuPG/PGP in Linux. :)
unbalanced: Only using Seahorse because of user-friendliness for now.
Though I might figure out git next and submit a patch
to
their pop-up message.

unbalanced: I don't like
to assume anything when it comes
to crypto.
unbalanced: Am I
to assume
that's what
this key management app means in
that message?
That only my PUBLIC key will be sent out?
unbalanced: It does NOT say "This will publish
the PUBLIC keys in your key ring..." so I
thought, "F
that!"
unbalanced: "This will publish
the keys in your key ring so
they're available for others
to use. You'll also get any changes others have made since you received
their keys. 1 key is selected for synchronizing"
unbalanced: So I
tried
the "Sync and Publish Keys..." link on
the "Remote" menu in Seahorse. And
the warning message pops up:
unbalanced: I set it all up, using Seahorse... but I have
to put a public key "out
there" so people could encrypt messages
to me.
