asciilifeform: i would say 'replace /dev/random in gpg source with /dev/fg and build' but the rng in gpg is monumentally retarded and i disrecommend its use entirely
veen: put it this way, i couldn't figure out how to generate a gpg keypair with fuckgoats, because gpg reads /dev/random, and i couldn't work out how to get fuckgoats (or any other file-like) shimmed in there
veen: maybe i'm coming at this in completely the wrong way
veen: up to your fuckgoats hardward or driver, i suppose
asciilifeform: or suppose you have -- as i recommend - three FUCKGOATSen.
veen: consider a kernel patch to bypass /dev/*random insanity with say "just open and read such-and-such file which i trust has acceptably random bytes in it"
mircea_popescu: i thought you were sold by the year+
asciilifeform: i'm usually sold by the pound...
asciilifeform: ok this is delicious, but i must briefly revisit upstack: mircea_popescu , mod6 , or anyone else in my l1 who wants to ssh+wire-peer with dulap: please gpggram a ssh rsa pubkey to me.
asciilifeform: 'I don't know if this issue was noticed and exploited, but I'm sure other crawlers have collected data and that users have saved or cached content and don't realize what they have, etc. We've discovered (and purged) cached pages that contain private messages from well-known services, PII from major sites that use cloudflare, and even plaintext API requests from a popular password manager that were sent over https (!!).'
asciilifeform: 'On February 17th 2017, I was working on a corpus distillation project, when I encountered some data that didn't match what I had been expecting. It's not unusual to find garbage, corrupt data, mislabeled data or just crazy non-conforming data...but the format of the data this time was confusing enough that I spent some time trying to debug what had gone wrong, wondering if it was a bug in my code. In fact, the data was bizarre enoug
asciilifeform: in other lulz, mircea_popescu , https://archive.is/HIr9r << i think we have the answer to 'why did asciilifeform get 64kb of crapolade in the guise of ZIPs from archive.is in july of '16 ? '
mircea_popescu: i think it's a good time to release (provided it doesn't turn into a wires thing eh!), we can have it on qntra and "republic same day response" etc.
asciilifeform: ~done. i was aiming to SPARKify it before release...
a111: Logged on 2016-12-11 23:00 asciilifeform: i was not going to expand on the 'p' thread until the proggy is done, but this is probably a good time to say 1 more
mircea_popescu: anyway. to get back to the point of interest : it is entirely possible to produce a 'i eat toe fungus!', signed, sincerely, 0x8A736F0E2FB7B452. ; but it is not possible to hide the fact that this was a fake from the owner of the privkey and anyone who has his pubkey.
mircea_popescu: i'm not disputing that part ; just saying that it's not exactly a surprise.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform o hey, consider this situation : 1. i know your fp, so i make fake key for that fp. 2. i know trinque 's fp, so i make fake key for that fp too. 3. i know you keep a signed copy of trinque's key on your keyring ; so : 4. i proceed to sign trinque's fake key with your fake key and 5. pretend to be a noob and give you my gpg pubkey. ☟︎
asciilifeform: the real headache is that it is entirely possible to produce a 'i eat toe fungus!', signed, sincerely, 0x8A736F0E2FB7B452. a year ago i estimated that this costs 100k usd. today -- probably a few thou.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform no, i just mean the reason it can't get crapflooded with fake deeds.
asciilifeform: -- the -- i shit thee not -- rfc.
adlai: all i gotta say is http://btcbase.org/log/2017-02-10#1612989 << takes one to know one! ☝︎
mircea_popescu: dude, get lost. i'm going to use you for a urinal. that's it.
asciilifeform: as i currently understand it.
mats: i was also stung by the alphago bet ☟︎
mats: i am reformed
mats: i did not learn my lesson
asciilifeform: mats: i learned my lesson re bbet during the leesedol thing.
mats: i am inconsolable
asciilifeform: which, i cannot help but notice, resembles the mirrored keys on phuctor...
mats: i lost some coin betting against the sha1 collision
mircea_popescu: i thought the pantsuit clown was "progressive" not "conservative".
mircea_popescu: either in terms of who participates or what it proposes. i can't seem to find either ?
a111: Logged on 2017-02-23 03:55 mircea_popescu: anyway, the point in case block we were discussing yest. i timed it at 22 minutes on "reasonable" amd.
asciilifeform: oh i neglected to revise the readme: 'they don't ever voluntarily get disconnected' is not strictly true!!!! wires are now permitted to disconnect (in catastrophic situations, e.g. flood) but will attempt to reconnect after the set interval, ad infinitum.
trinque: later today I will test
deedbot: http://trilema.com/2017/is-it-still-rape-if-i-write-science-on-my-penis-first/ << Trilema - Is it still rape if I write "science" on my penis first ?
asciilifeform: i'ma guess the elixir of slooow is: disk thrashing via snarfing of old inputs
mircea_popescu: no, i am aware.
mircea_popescu: i think that's a fine example to be instrumented for study.
mircea_popescu: anyway, the point in case block we were discussing yest. i timed it at 22 minutes on "reasonable" amd. ☟︎
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: if you know moar, i'm all ears
a111: Logged on 2017-02-21 22:58 mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i expect your node's problem is verification.
asciilifeform: PeterL: so far i've found ~0 net effect. (earlier today thought that it was a net loss, but dulap caught up and stayed caught up.)
PeterL: seems like a ping, pong is not a big change, but I guess I see your point. Is there any benefit to it, or is it strictly noise?
mircea_popescu: i don't get it, why can't your wife also be jane ?
asciilifeform: smoked the smallest cigs i ever saw
ben_vulpes: i shall read, think -- later.
asciilifeform: i am deliberately leaving this to you lot
asciilifeform: the one case i have not yet tested is the ~bidirectional~ wire.
shinohai: Lots of irons in fires atm, but exciting development asciilifeform .... I will test in < 24 hrs
veen: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-02-22#1616772 << ben_vulpes i assume mircea_popescu doesn't mean secretary of state ☝︎
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes i dunno, what ?
ben_vulpes: too many 'tits at dinner', i guess, they all run together
shinohai: I wish my peeps had been incredible enough not to fuck up that Eulora click earlier this week.
shinohai: (right areola is slightly misshapen but who am I to judge
shinohai: I'd remember those tits ....
mircea_popescu: considering you're about 50kgs of water and 50grams of sweat, i hardly see the difference.
mircea_popescu: i don't follow ?
shinohai: Now that is non-Newtonian fluid I can get behind.
veen: i'm no expert in the field of biochemistry, but i'm aware models have been proposed
veen: i perceive the interest to be more zoological
mircea_popescu: and in today's dose of monster wtf : "<DicePower> So like, the 0.1.2b .tar.gz contains multiple files with the same name but of different case, i.e., EuloraV0.1.2\art\Graveyard~ and EuloraV0.1.2\art\GRAVEYARD~ which Windows wants to fix by overwriting one when the .tar is unzipped. What is the proper course of action to avoid later linking errors, etc.?"
trinque: logic being, I guess, if I can't smell the fart AT LEAST I CAN SEE IT
mircea_popescu: or i guess shinohai
asciilifeform: in other noose, http://wotpaste.cascadianhacker.com/pastes/jJ7iS/?raw=true << on a traditional (zoolag) trb node. i never once saw these in past log readings, and now they are quite common.
a111: Logged on 2015-02-16 06:17 asciilifeform: so the 'google finds unique strings' thing, sure - can we conclude that i'm the only one alive trying to build 'gnat' on 'gentoo' ?
asciilifeform: (same problem as gcc, but difference is, gcc will -- theoretically -- build on certain other compilers, though i have nfi when anyone last attempted this. but there are not and never were any open alternatives to gnat.)
asciilifeform: for completeness i will also point out that adacore's tarball will, with some handholding, build.
asciilifeform: jurov: i blew ~month on this horror.
asciilifeform: but meanwhile, in comedic theatre, https://archive.is/NvRz0 >> 'This is an announcement about CVE-2017-6074 [1] which is a double-free vulnerability I found in the Linux kernel. It can be exploited to gain kernel code execution from an unprivileged processes.'
asciilifeform: i'ma give it another day and then roll back.
ben_vulpes: i discern that people are really bad drivers
mircea_popescu: well... it's a alright. the i...
mircea_popescu: i don't see why.
ben_vulpes: i don't hafta toss my sims out too, do i?
mircea_popescu: how exactly "in order for you to exist, water must be pink and freely float in the atmosphere" turned into "fact: water is pink and freely floats in the atmosphere" has a lot to do with the hidden "i necessarily must exist" prior.
mircea_popescu: i thought new york chartered towns get ceos not mayors.
mircea_popescu: "i have this guy, and if you don't like him... i have another."
trinque: in the particular instance mentioned, guy was what, "oh I'll tell everyone about the aliens once I get in there!11!"
mircea_popescu: what can i tell ye.
mircea_popescu: "but our d&d game!!1" "yeah i know, totally!!1"
mircea_popescu: “The president is the original classification authority so he has enormous discretion about when and under what circumstances to do that,” Zach Goldman, the executive director of NYU’s Center on Law and Security, told Gizmodo. “If he decides he wants to read classified documents in the open, I don’t know what the intelligence community can do about that.”
mircea_popescu: "hey, guess who wants to spitroast you all ? i... could put him in charge you know."
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i'd like to leave dulap as it is , to see how this change affects blackhole, but it does carry some of the 'trucks of britain' problem (as described by mircea_popescu article -- 'trucks over 5 tonnes will experimentally drive on left side of road first!11')
asciilifeform: i am rather surprised, i admit, that dulap is speaking to ~anyone~
mircea_popescu: hey, i'm not trying to persuade, i am merely stating the possibility.
asciilifeform: i remain unconvinced
asciilifeform: i despise unquantifiably-noisy.
asciilifeform: i don't 'zoologically' despise noisy channels.
mircea_popescu: which is what i meant re contemplation. not the sort of problem you usually enjoy, ergo not the sort of system you'd of your own choice make.
asciilifeform: there is a palpable difference between 'hey bro this is usenet and no guarantees' and 'hey bro this is crack den and i'ma take yer mail and flush it down the shitter, no guarantees' imho
asciilifeform: ok nao i'm curious, how's that
asciilifeform: eh i i had 22, or 222, i'd simply have a different reason (tx propagation fail) to be ragin
mircea_popescu: yes, but i tihnk you get my point.
asciilifeform: in point of fact i have 2
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: every so often, i actually need to send a tx. and grow very, very irritated if for whatever reason at all, i cannot.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i grow very tired of 'blackhole'
mircea_popescu: i dunno why you're doing this skidding thing anyway, not like there's some sort of emergency.
asciilifeform: the folx i was trying to kill, are those who ~sit idle and hog the socket~ while waiting for a pong that never comes.
