mircea_popescu: which is why all the impudent cuntlets want to be "in a creative career" aka hallucinated non-science. if irresponsible activity bereft of verification, ie, the antithesis of science, then their imposture has some space ☟︎

mircea_popescu: i can assure you from experience it is infinitely easier to teach any ~actual~ science to a slavegirl than to an intelligent girl.

asciilifeform: ( picture for a moment trying to sell a working airplane to cargocultists. 'what's petrol?' 'this thing is heavy' 'waitasec i have to learn to read?!' etc )

asciilifeform: i'm a little surprised that nobody's walked away with his pile yet.

asciilifeform: probably possible to set up a lattice

asciilifeform: i shit thee not, microshit used 8 instances of rc4, seeded by cpu time, process indices, and a little bit of misc liquishit

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform in other news, http://www.lanacion.com.ar/1990978-senalan-a-la-droga-como-madre-de-los-delitos-en-buenos-aires

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-03-08#1623175 << the correct solution is buy 16yo girl from her father in adhana village, beat her into shape for a coupla years, buy her first ak by the time she turns 18. if you've 2-3 years to spare you'll be fine. ☝︎

mircea_popescu: phf i was vaguely considering sending a an infestor. something reasonable, 2/3 bedroom 2 bathroom proper kitchen ac etc. it does get terribly hot does it.

deedbot: http://www.contravex.com/2017/03/08/trumps-border-adjustment-tax-just-means-new-loopholes-thats-the-point/ << » Contravex: A blog by Pete Dushenski - Trump’s Border Adjustment Tax just means new loopholes? That’s the point!

asciilifeform: as a boy (after moving to usa) i once visited a house of a sikh d00d whom father was working for . he had entire room, shrine.

phf: in this particular case, the differentiator was the subtle lean. i mean, the south they have a special perspective on the whole thing. i suspect many of their wealthy families have little shrines to godse

phf: i think it's still a significant time period for a lot of indians. possibly the last one.

a111: Logged on 2016-03-03 01:58 phf: do you know what hurree babu really wants? he wants to be made a member of the royal society by taking ethnological notes.

phf: well, the most ridiculous example, i befriended a doctor, initially by simply pointing out Nehru in a picture, then producing a few coherent sentences about partition of india period. was subsequently invited to dinner at his house, with family, etc.

phf: i think if you're ~entirely~ not mp, you're going to get raped anywhere. but if you're a little bit mp (which i think qualifies present people, otherwise none of us would be here, you yourself were trying to buy a projects building in a fucking baltimore), then i think you have better chance extracting value in india, than you do in americas. because bureaucracy runs deep here, need much more play money to sway it your way. there, you ~can~ get away with paying

asciilifeform: well that's what i am wondering, if you're entirely 'not mp', then should be prepared to pay orbital prices for 'white man' terraforming ? or this is overly pessimistic, and the local won't (why not?) charge you a kind of ad hoc 'laffer curve' maximum they think you can bear without going broke ?

phf: unless you're an mp, you don't have a choice to tell fuck you to local fauna, and the whole "i can pay whatever" only plays it out well in shitty miami based tv shows ☟︎

phf: it would be significantly cheaper to put up a mast in india, than it is in u.s. even factoring rape licenses

asciilifeform: (the difference is that you don't normally ~need~ a mast there)

phf: if you have a line of sight from your property to a direct satellite tower, you can get the owner to put an antena up for you, for sure. that doesn't require special licenses anywhere. of course putting up a mast on your site most likely requires government license and that's where you're going to get the bulk of rapage

asciilifeform: as i picture it, a, e.g., mircea_popescu , would apply the only known pill: to create a kind of miniature british raj, where the locals know the consequences of misbehaviour ☟︎

asciilifeform: --- but as a british d00d in 1890s!!

phf: roquefort is unobtanium. in fact there's a christian monastery that makes cheese somewhere in the north, european style. they make bank selling that stuff to hotels, etc. i was trying to sell some priests on the idea, but by the time i remember we were both utterly drunk, and the conversation devolved into calls for bloody revolution and such

a111: Logged on 2014-02-19 06:21 mircea_popescu: an old american moves to a thai village.

a111: Logged on 2017-03-08 14:24 phf: looked at a mansion, where i lost count of rooms, has inner court yard and large forst area in the back, secluded, etc. advertised as $2000/mo, final price was $12000/yr (!!!)

phf: i did a bed&breakfast which is my preferred approach, the room was baseline 2200rs/night, for 35 days, with 20% discount, worked out to about $950

a111: Logged on 2017-03-08 11:47 phf: oh he'll also be selling a macivory model 2 board, that you can put in a quadra yourself. (or use it for a die shot sacrifice...)

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-03-08#1623154 << phf do you presently have with what to make die shot ? i do have a dead xl1201 cpu board here. ☝︎☟︎

phf: this is all within 10 minute ride to the beach, 30 minute ride to the closest big city. not sure what the prices are like in the city, but i have a guy i can ask if you're interested

phf: an apartment 2 bedroom apartment in a muslim town (so main downside is a regular adhan) was offered for about $300/mo

phf: looked at a mansion, where i lost count of rooms, has inner court yard and large forst area in the back, secluded, etc. advertised as $2000/mo, final price was $12000/yr (!!!) ☟︎

phf: what they would call "studio" in u.s., i.e. a room with a kitchen area goes for about $1000/yr

phf: i looked at places within 10 minute motorcycle ride from a tourist beach area

phf: oh he'll also be selling a macivory model 2 board, that you can put in a quadra yourself. (or use it for a die shot sacrifice...) ☟︎

phf: i think a half decent reason to get an xl1201 is to sacrifice an ivory and get die shots

phf: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-03-08#1623101 << yes, and since i just burned a bunch of cash on a vacation, i won't be bidding on any of these machines, but dks is selling an xl1201 and two macivories ☝︎

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform nah, mendoza. like a sort of kentucky.

shinohai: Came from a bitcointalk mirror long ago

asciilifeform: (my memory, apparently, was correct, he published a winturd along with 1st source)

asciilifeform: iirc there was such a thing

asciilifeform: hm, now that i think of it, the question of 'against which openssl was it built' may be.. answerable. mircea_popescu : did satoshi ever distribute a binary ?

asciilifeform: btw trinque lemme know if you'd like a 'wire' on dulap.

trinque: having a branch available to skip verification ~at all~ seems questionable.

asciilifeform: trinque: if you have remote-execution 0day in the thing, you have a problem.

trinque: maybe; seems like a data structure that somebody would love to spooge malicious values into via some other (networking code) exploit

asciilifeform: but imho we are very, very far away from the 'verifying chain takes too long' problem, for this to be a burning issue

asciilifeform: iirc mircea_popescu at the time said that the thing really oughta eat a programmable set of checkpoint ☟︎

a111: Logged on 2015-02-05 19:11 mod6: <+punkman> running a node with this line removed: http://btc.yt/lxr/satoshi/source/src/main.cpp#0939 . works so far << check out this patch: http://therealbitcoin.org/ml/btc-dev/2014-December/000023.html

mod6: <+trinque> http://btcbase.org/log/2015-02-05#1008972 << mod6, is that why this patch did not make it in? << i don't think it was because of any such wedge. i think we held off because it was proposed that there might have been a better way to handle that through configuration files. it's all in the logs if you look in around the time that email was sent; december of '14. ☝︎

asciilifeform: ( the last time i mentioned him on the air -- he actually showed up! in pm! to whine re how cruelly he is libelled, how he was Never A Stooge, etc. snoar. )

mircea_popescu: alternatively random guy clicked a link, hasn't even noticed the tab among the symphony of tabs on his ie.

asciilifeform: shinohai: i still dun get why cia stooge needs a handle. can read the l0gz on www, like anybody

asciilifeform: in other strange, '4-year-old male white rhino who was slaughtered this week inside his enclosure at a zoo outside Paris. The rhino — discovered by his keeper at the Thoiry Zoological Park on Tuesday — now holds the ominous distinction of likely being the first rhino to be killed by poachers inside a zoo, experts said.'

mircea_popescu: i don't see why it's such a big deal, i included all sorts of strange in the logs, what of it ?

asciilifeform: and , years later, ended up briefly labouring in a butugychag full of ex-nsa folx, who confirmed, they dun like ethnic untermenschen there

asciilifeform: briefly upstack: as i once described, many years ago asciilifeform actually tried to sign up for nsa! was , unsurprisingly, turned down ( you get a ream of paper even if turned down! )

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: sweeping a floor for beloved comendante hasta y por la siempre, as gurl does, is quite different from sweeping floor for salary from hitler. even if same broom and same floor somehow.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: that's rather like to say that fucking same gurl vs fucking hole in a muddy tree trunk, 'is the same'

mircea_popescu: but otherwise, it's the same. i sent a bunch of girls on a bunch of missions this month, with various wads of cash.

asciilifeform: commuting to and sitting in butugychag is a mega-difference

mircea_popescu: the only difference between slavegirl in my household and usg employee is that a) i whip mine and b) after a while they are sensibly better at everything. the usg drones don't get whipped and don't improve.

mircea_popescu: no ; because if a girl who does nothing but fucks up and sucks my cock makes a grand, that grand does not get divided by 0.000000epsilon to result in TWENTY BRILLIONS!!1

mircea_popescu: nobody working for idiot empire makes much. this is a recurrent fantasy of yours, but not more.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: and somebody gives a shit re junk routers etc?

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform> not even the directorate which runs the gavins, the hearns, ever seems to leak so much as a drop. << the reason is that utterly nobody gives a shit.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform aha. the nsa itself long knew it is both a) deeply ineffectual and b) extremely loud. which is why now and again i say something to the effect of "wtf straw must one have in head to work for those dorks, move on already."

asciilifeform: trinque: first q to ask in a wedge: 'has it SEEN the block?'

trinque: 124276 happens to be a 1 txn block btw

trinque has such a checkpoints-cauterized node wedged at that very block, will in fact study

ben_vulpes: in other water-related engineering projects, here's something that is very definitely not a lock: http://gcaptain.com/worlds-first-ship-tunnel-to-bypass-dangerous-seas-in-norway/

asciilifeform: but i'll be the first to admit that this heuristic is very much a 'blind man and the elephant'.

asciilifeform: thus far i suspect that 'leakage' is roughly proportional to a directorate's population of folx who know what is 'twerk'

asciilifeform: not even the directorate which runs the gavins, the hearns, ever seems to leak so much as a drop.

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: we did have a thread back in... 2013? re 'they will copy su approach and make 2-in-a-box kgb/gru duet'

asciilifeform: or any matches. If a match is found the packet is assumed to be a TCP replay and is dropped.'

asciilifeform: sl/include/polarssl/ssl.h is extended to include the session _checksum, tool_id, use_custom, and xor_key. The data contained within this packet is constant with the exception of a time stamp taken from the real-time clock and a few bytes of random data. A CRC checksum is computed from the entire packet and is included with the HELLO packet. When Blot receives this packet, it checks the CRC searches a list of previously seen packets f

asciilifeform: 'Hive beacons were designed to work with the Blot proxy (developed by Xetron). Blot looks for a tool ID embedded in the HELLO packet of an SSL session initiation. If the ID is found, then it forwards the packet to the tool-handler, otherwise it is sent to the cover server. The tool ID is embedded in the HELLO packet using the embedData function defined in …/polarssl/library/loki_utils.c. The SSL data structure defined in …/polars

asciilifeform: hile she is listening to music, the tool will execute the survey and a prioritized file collection. All collected data will be stored to the root of the removable media it is executing from. When the asset next meets with the case officer, the thumbdrive is retrieved and the collection is processed. '

asciilifeform: 'RainMaker v1.0 is a survey and file collection tool built for a FINO QRC operation. IOC/FINO is looking to expand asset-assisted operations. The intended CONOPS involves using an asset to gain access to a target network. The asset has the ability to plug in a personal thumbdrive to the network. In this scenario, the asset will have "downloaded" the portable version of VLC player (2.1.5) and will listen to music during work hours. W

asciilifeform: '...initial plan for concealment host is as a day planner.'

trinque: it may sadden those that don't yet know that open firmware was a dead simple forth nugget. i.e. in the sense that apple for a brief time meant dead simple.

asciilifeform: 'Development of a tool to burst out a binary using udp packets with forward error correction at 100MB/s' << somebody reads the l0gz

asciilifeform: various cisco rootkits, also, but these i regard as a snore

asciilifeform: so added a couple of new members and changed some sizes in the struct scheme.These are fairly trivial to reverse but comparing each function in a disassembler with the Tiny Scheme source version. Apple uses Tiny Scheme to create a vector of sandbox rules that it then converts to a compiled sandbox profile....'

asciilifeform: 'Apple seems to have taken version 1.38 of the Tiny Scheme project (available online, google it or check workshop output) and modified it a little. Most modifications are fixes for the most obvious bugs in the program: changing sprintf to snprintf and adding some more size checks but they have not fixed everything. In fact, they haven't even bothered keeping up with the Tiny Scheme project, which is now on version 1.41. Apple have al

trinque: and if I wanted that I'd want to do it as a "mempool explorer" tool

mircea_popescu: i concur. "unconfirmed tx" is improperly thought of as a tx.

trinque: isn't in a block; may *never* be in a block

asciilifeform: davout: ~nobody gives half a shit about unconfirmed tx he didn't himself make

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform incidentally your ssh thing may well have been a major step forward for this split.

trinque: why would it send either? crap a signed tx and operator feeds it to network node

mircea_popescu: if net-trb decides to engage in a reorg, it will eventually induce one in all the wallet-trbs connected to it.

davout: for example, how does the wallet perform a reindex, without storing the chain itself

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: so far reads like data dump from any large american software co. plenty of 'excel monkey' material, a veeery small bit of classy.

asciilifeform: 'AVG will sometimes heuristically identify Raptor/Melomy/Ferret trojans as, well, Trojans (duh). However, in many cases this heuristic detection can be avoided by renaming the .exe to a common installer name such as setup.exe. There may be other names that can be used – Windows itself recognizes a few "installer" exe names and slaps the little shield icon on there by default and also does that weird "this program didn't install c

mircea_popescu: this has been a honest-to-god real-time davout node emerging in march going "so guyse... chatlog-block-419333 is highest rite ?" and resyncs ensued. ☟︎

mircea_popescu: eh trhat';s a dead branch, let it be.

a111: Logged on 2017-03-07 17:22 davout: which allowed any existing node to trivially serve any arbitrary wallet, at the cost of a 2gb memory scan for unspent outs
