mircea_popescu: in other lulz, the southern poverty law center (mildly famous lefty oppression tools from the 60s) lists "kek" as a dangerous nazy paraphenalia. ☟︎☟︎
mircea_popescu: girls engage in this sort of fatty grooming as a shit test. if you agree with her that her fat friend also deserves "a life" aka someone to pay for her children, perhaps you should.
shinohai: If you see a fatty, say fatty?
BingoBoingo: STFU, knowing a little bit about green lumber is a pre-requisite to manhood
pete_dushenski: shinohai: i notice that same 'st9bad_alloc' error on vps node with some frequency as well but never on dedibox. not sure if it's a clock / timing issue but that's my best guess.
mircea_popescu: certainly a large part of it.
mircea_popescu: anyway, asciilifeform, you should prolly publish a codebase adnotated with time profiles. trb-454523 ; trb-454520 etc.
mircea_popescu: also a main reason why the discussed wallet separation.
mircea_popescu: moreover with a little care you can actually fingerprint for things such as "does this node have a tunnel to another one" in this manner.
mircea_popescu: there's three different ways a node can end up in reorg crisscross, and it doesn't even take owning all its connections.
mircea_popescu: it's actually a ddos avenue in its own right.
mircea_popescu: this makes a lot more sense.
asciilifeform: 454520 has a reorg, and spent 219 seconds, also ~entirely in same spot
mircea_popescu: in other lulz, british national and ex-guantanamo detainee abu zakariya al britani blew up a car in mosul. which you know, "is being progress made upon", still, six months later. except for the part where isis killed kadim al saeedi, ie one of the few actually competent sand monkeys on the imperial side.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform that's also a large part of it. there's a bunch of large parts like that.
mircea_popescu: moreover, i'm the one guy time flows favourably for. why wait in 2012 ? because lo, dollar from 50 bitcents to a tenth of a dime in five years.
asciilifeform: in other noose, discovered that the actual contents of a block are 'red herring' re verification, and we're actually looking at idiot lock deadlock
mircea_popescu: and in other lulz, trump finances seem to settle towards a) much larger deficit ; to be employed towards b) "rebuilding america" in the sense of... a much larger military.
BingoBoingo: It's been a tough fight, largely against myself, but hopefully I can keep the venom cutting instead of resorting to taking words on top of words
mircea_popescu: i like how they manage to package tidal locking and orbital harmonics into "a little known theory from 1989". by the same measure fucking is a little known activity from the 70s. if you're at camp with janine garofalo i guess this isn't even so far fetched a description.
ben_vulpes: ^^ going to have to reread in depth, but interesting agw not-a-ganda
ben_vulpes: http://news.wisc.edu/from-rocks-in-colorado-evidence-of-a-chaotic-solar-system/
mircea_popescu: but no. the penis is not joint. it's a single item, goes about a foot inside of oyu.
ben_vulpes: but it's a pin joint at the base and that's pretty weak from a structural perspective
mircea_popescu: they make solid madonna's-bra vinyl diapers now ? like a helment ?
mircea_popescu: "my son broke my penis. he's three years old." "well... how good of a penis could you say it was to begin with, then ?"
ben_vulpes: i was worried about structural damage for a moment
ben_vulpes: an otherwise gentle and lovely morning with coffee and breakfast in bed, followed by 20+ pounds of micro human determinedly sitting in my lap demanding a book be read him
trinque: ben_vulpes: ever heard a "pop" when it gets bent?
mircea_popescu: if you must, i doggyfucked so animalicly a poor damsel yesterday my cock's all broken.
mircea_popescu: hey, i wrote & published two articles today, did a major game design update, planning for infrastructure refurbishment, started a whole new network of agents AND read some inane shit some dickless failawyer published on medium.
ben_vulpes: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-02-21#1616287 << subj. of autocad, i finally stood a cadcam workstation up in support of project carport and shit damn inventor is a well-designed piece of software. ☝︎☟︎
ben_vulpes: stack, for the curious: moar tests for v.pl (i'm writing them because my personal heap is too fragmented to make me a useful manual tester), read and compile a large and a small patch from asciilifeform, ops tasks in support of WIRES, gaze into the writhing horror diana_coman needs a lasso around, and somewhere find an hour to finish up the import of phf's logs back to early 2016
mircea_popescu: and not actually intelligent enough to figure out being a great man's urinal is, in context, an ur-achievement.
mircea_popescu: "Like most of my law school classmates, I was a hyper-ambitious narcissist with no concrete plans for achieving the greatness to which I was entitled."
mircea_popescu: ahaha oh this is delishious. "My work has appeared in LA Weekly, Vice, Curbed, Complex, ANIMALS, The Daily Dot, and LosAngeles.com" << dork quit law school because tucker max said to and is now a relationships advicerist. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: it'd matter a lot more if "isaac simpson" could either hold a rifle or man a post. or for that matter make a serving of french fries without taking half an hour. but as it is...
mircea_popescu: and re "isaac simpson", whoever the fuck she is, who gives a shit ? seriously now ?
asciilifeform: would seem that these are a type of pseudonode / misc. attacker, that comes in two varieties, one aimed at recent prb (majority), the other -- more trb / old-prb - flavoured.
asciilifeform: in other lulz, there is a large population of nodes reporting 'version message: version 60000, blocks=350000' for all eternity (typically they auto-disconnect when discovering trb ver.) . anyone know who they belong to, and wtf ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu, ben_vulpes, mod6, shinohai , et al : anyone ever notice these : http://wotpaste.cascadianhacker.com/pastes/DfsKP/?raw=true << on a node nowhere near OOM condition, multiple GB free
asciilifeform: meanwhile, in the monkey cage, https://archive.is/l8ZYG >> a clitlerist: 'oh noez, best prepare to suppress the rebellion that will come when we depose mr.t'
mircea_popescu: well it's a server no ?
mircea_popescu: i am starting to not9ic9e a pa9tter9n he9re.
ben_vulpes: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-02-24#1617558 << this was a huge boon to me at one point as well ☝︎
phf: i kind of want a way to link useful assets to a patch on btcbase. right now if you have a readme.txt inside a patches folder you get that included as a prelude for a patchset (http://btcbase.org/patches?patchset=fg). i think it would be handy to include wires over ssh link somewhere on the wires patch page..
asciilifeform: http://87.237.120.158 shows a peculiar cartoon.
lobbes: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-03-03#1421109 << btw, thank you for this, alf. I will be embarking on my own gentoo quest soon to finally stand up a trb node ☝︎
mod6: <+asciilifeform> [BTC-dev] (EXPERIMENTAL) A Recipe for the use of Wires via SSHITunnels. << cool! thanks alf.
asciilifeform: it is a liquid, similar to motor oil, at room temp
asciilifeform: (spoiler: was a mega-downer)
asciilifeform: because only now exists in a public proggy.
asciilifeform: probably we want a -dontuse=an.ip.goes.here flag.
asciilifeform: veen: let's try a historical angle. according to legend, emperor qin shi huangdi (same d00d as known for taking the 'immortality pill' and promptly croaking) had a palace with 1,500 rooms. and would not tell anyone in advance which one he plans to sleep in on a given night. and which ones he would put cutthroats in, ready to kill anyone who opens door. think 'minesweeper.' ☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎
veen: forget it, it's a low value point i've already attempted to make
a111: Logged on 2017-02-23 23:52 asciilifeform: [BTC-dev] (EXPERIMENTAL) A Recipe for the use of Wires via SSH Tunnels.
mircea_popescu: it's worth keeping a farm of vartious nodes just to watcdh them struggle with the chain. pretty interersting data.
mircea_popescu: it's not a bad idea at all ; it's just not a (complete) solution.
asciilifeform: veen: it isn't that it is a catastrophically bad idea, compared to what is currently on your box -- rather, it is an example of something you do not want to cement in long-term use
a111: Logged on 2017-02-03 15:52 mircea_popescu: we should prolly publish a kernel patch
mircea_popescu: a ok. that.
veen: sounds like solution for gpg is rip out `char shitprng();` implementation and replace it with one that calls a trusted noise source
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: we had half a dozen people here repeatedly build gpg-1.4.10 back in august, recall
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform stronger argument than it seems. leaving aside the static issue, it's not even a given gpg compiles at all.
veen: userland shitprng is a wrinkle indeed, one i wasn't aware of until this thread
mircea_popescu: so it may make sense as a convenience thing to symlink it to your fuckgoats tty. but don't expect you've now thereby fixed the system
veen: but it sounds like the sentitment here is using a well-known noise fountain is a vulnerable one
veen: to explain my reasoning by way of donning my engineering hat, i saw an existing contract of the form "noise comes out here" and a deficit default implementation, and proposed a better impl
asciilifeform: every bit in a private key is an 'obscurity' item.
mircea_popescu: this concept gets abused a lot.
asciilifeform: veen: i, for instance, am sitting in front of a box with 11 hardware ttys
veen: seems gpg tried to sovereignty-wash a source of entropy and here it is bearing your criticism anyway
veen: well, a paternalistic idea if nothing else
asciilifeform: which is why /dev/random was a terrifyingly bad idea from day 1./ ☟︎
asciilifeform: on a unixline, FUCKGOATS shows up as a modem.
asciilifeform: veen: linux, by default. because it was dropped as a baby.
asciilifeform: (there is a red alarm lamp on the pcb to alert in case of analogue rng failure, but it is theoretically possible for the circuit to break outside of FUCKGOATS proper)
veen: be that as it may, we don't inhabit a world of sane programs
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
asciilifeform: it plugs in through a ttl to usbuart plug
asciilifeform: there's no driver, veen , it's a tty
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"
a111: Logged on 2017-02-03 15:53 asciilifeform: not a difficult patch, but remains to ask, for which kernel.
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: not looking for an answer, it's a compliment on the his prolific output
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes you're not going to get a straight answer.
mircea_popescu: so basically cloudflare is a piece of shit. whoa.
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: 'The underlying bug occurs because of a pointer error.'
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: h that some colleagues around the Project Zero office even got intrigued. It became clear after a while we were looking at chunks of uninitialized memory interspersed with valid data. ...'
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

mircea_popescu: this could be because "rape" (this happened before, a few trilema articles that google unhappened) ; or maybe triloxic content finally got its comeuppance.
mircea_popescu: anyway, re "online trolling", it's by now a rather transparent euphemism for "racist homophobic terrorism" aka "russia influencing elections" aka pantsuit clown getting raped by reality.
mircea_popescu: a did it ?
asciilifeform: 'The software works by determining the “toxicity” of online comments, a scale that has been established by mining millions of comments from the web and then presenting them to panels of 10 people (humans!) at a clip to get their feedback. '
a111: Logged on 2017-02-22 07:26 mircea_popescu: anyway, there's a common thread going through the google go ai, attempts to "secure the banking system against risk", the surveillance state / internet of things / smart cars and so on.
asciilifeform: elsewhere, in re http://btcbase.org/log/2017-02-22#1616821 >> http://archive.is/QoAki << 'Google’s Jigsaw unit, as part of a larger effort to battle online trolling, said earlier today that it was releasing a new tool called Perspective, software that uses machine learning to detect harassment and abuse online.' ☝︎
