asciilifeform: mircea_popescu oughta send his ufo over and pick up his 'candidate'
asciilifeform: soooo asciilifeform was taking a morning walk and saw a sight straight out of a mircea_popescu article. teenage chick standing in doorway, her mother (?) packing something into car, in front yard. chick then lifts her shirt and reveals naked cunt, and smiles. mother goes apeshit, screaming in, i think, portuguese, even now, i can almost hear it through open window.☟︎
asciilifeform: because - again - nonconstant time and space.
asciilifeform: sina: this is quite mistaken. strictly for crypto.
asciilifeform: sina: garbagecollected language on pc hardware is unsuitable for crypto
asciilifeform: ( recently appointed minister of something or other )
asciilifeform: apparently in usg also there are 'untouchable' folx.
asciilifeform: 'On June 22, 2017, CNN.com published a story connecting Anthony Scaramucci with investigations into the Russian Direct Investment Fund. That story did not meet CNN's editorial standards and has been retracted. Links to the story have been disabled. CNN apologizes to Mr. Scaramucci.'
asciilifeform: so the resting position thing does not so much matter to the sewing folx
asciilifeform: sewing machine ( and other power tool ) trigger pedals, if you think about it, indeed sometimes are used 'all day', but very different pattern from hypothetical keyboardpedal. they do long strokes.
asciilifeform: sina: dies when 'reprieved' and turns door knob to leave, forgetting all caution: poisoned
asciilifeform: this is roughly analogous situation to the daily life of tmsr software folx
asciilifeform: with proviso that if he lives for a week, he gets reprieved
asciilifeform: there was an old sf tale, maybe 1940s, about a d00d in the Evil Future who is sentenced to death , but 'in house arrest', is put in a seemingly normal flat where common household objects are boobytrapped
asciilifeform: then when i say 'timestamps not produced by yourself are promisetronic' it will immediately click in your brain.
asciilifeform: sina: i recommend to also review logs re 'protocolic vs promisetronic' concept
asciilifeform: it can be as expensive ( broadcast to galaxy! ) or cheap ( request a turd in web form, which actually reduces to approx. mircea_popescu's original..! ) as desired.
asciilifeform: this btw is also a major feature of mircea_popescu's (non-lighthousetronic) algo, and imho important
asciilifeform: without distributing signed material.
asciilifeform: btw note that 'decrypt mode lighthouse' is deedbot-like, the answerer proves that he holds one of p1,...,pN keys. rather than one in particular.
asciilifeform: ('come back with the plaintext' of course means that you, e.g,, gimme a hash H(R + salt), or the like, not literally exposing it for world!)
asciilifeform: but asciilifeform is happy to give a hand.
asciilifeform: dun worry Framedragger , it does take some actual sweat, to puzzle out
asciilifeform: (had slightly different domain: botnet orbital control...)
asciilifeform: asciilifeform, some yrs before being introduced to mircea_popescu, wrote an (unpublished) algo, 'kapelle', that resembled mircea_popescu's gossipd. hence 'strong feelingz'
asciilifeform: Framedragger: gotta distinguish mircea_popescu's algo from the MB or so of asciilifeform's commentz re same
asciilifeform: and it was different from asciilifeform's, and did not include 'lighthouses', luby transform, a few elses
asciilifeform: Framedragger: recall, mircea_popescu and asciilifeform never came to a 'hey we have this 1 algo', so all q re 'gossipd' presume, imho, mircea_popescu's algo, which was actually called so
asciilifeform: Framedragger: all comms b/w any pair of nodes, properly rsa'd
asciilifeform: i thought this was pretty clear from the article.
asciilifeform: sina: if you're asking re mircea_popescu's algo -- then yes
asciilifeform: the former - as the 'stored, relayed'.
asciilifeform: Framedragger: in mircea_popescu's gossipd algo, there are 2 types of messages, ordinary and private. the latter behave as described above
asciilifeform: sina: and what means 'final recipient' ?
asciilifeform: to trick systemd-resolved in to allocating a buffer that's too small, and subsequently write arbitrary data beyond the end of it.'
asciilifeform: in other, not wholly unrelated, lulz, '...out-of-bounds write in systemd-resolved in Ubuntu, which is possible to trigger with a specially crafted TCP payload. ... Certain sizes passed to dns_packet_new can cause it to allocate a buffer that's too small. A page-aligned number - sizeof(DnsPacket) + sizeof(iphdr) + sizeof(udphdr) will do this... A malicious DNS server can exploit this by responding with a specially crafted TCP payload
asciilifeform: 'Among the store’s roughly five thousand volumes were eight different books called “Talmud,” several of which listed Rabbi Tokayer as the author and included pictures of him inside their front covers. One version included “A Personal Message from the Author,” in English, in which Tokayer expressed his belief that “the Korean people and the Jewish people have so much in common, and share so many similar values.” '
