gribble: Trilemma - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trilemma>; Lewis's trilemma - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: <;' target='_blank'>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lewis's_trilemma>; Münchhausen trilemma - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M%C3%BCnchhausen_trilemma>
thestringpuller: ;;google trilemma
thestringpuller: that's cause you spelled trilemma differently
gribble: Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.: <http://trilema.com/>; Trilemma - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trilemma>; Münchhausen trilemma - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M%C3%BCnchhausen_trilemma>
mircea_popescu: ;;google trilema
pankkake: what I would see is NSA, with the A being a flask
mircea_popescu: i was thinking eagle-holding-cox
pankkake: oh, the american NSA logo is hard. I wanted to try a parodyw
jurov: i can add cherries and trucks and rainbows
kakobrekla: hire that solar mining company guy
mircea_popescu: anyway, i think we have a s.nsa logo
pankkake: belize. the country of bitcoin scams
kakobrekla: no thats business
pankkake: no that's .biz
mircea_popescu: server may be down if they're dicking with it tho, so might have to retry later.
jurov: yes... just wanted to explore around
pankkake: actually I'm stuck at the genesis block, or something like that (but I fixed the problem that is on the altcoin howto, not the one I have now)
pankkake: no, that must be why it doesn't work!
mircea_popescu: or did you mean the precompiled ?
pankkake: so I tried to make an altcoin (the bernankoin), but I'm stuck. not having bitcointalk doesn't help either
ozbot: Eulora August update pe Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.
jurov: i'd like to try newest eulora client, it's somewhere?
jurov: and website that redirects to http://mpex.co/index.php?mpsic=S.NSA
mircea_popescu: who knew, seriously. and how racist, chauvinist and everything that is.
mircea_popescu: turns out there's not an army of competent and dedicated people just waiting for the chance to make nice things for free.
pankkake: well, reddit is famous for stealing content. many top posts "my daughter made this" etc. revealed to be fake
mircea_popescu: well to their credit the 4chaners succeed a lot better than the redditards.
pankkake: there is a saying, redditors are stupid people who try to appear intelligent, while 4channers are intelligent people who try to appear stupid (expect it's probably better said)
mircea_popescu: so now the contingent of highschoolers are telling each other stories about how cool they are on reddit.
pankkake: I used it mostly in its first years, and I was slowly disgusted by it. despicable people who want to believe they're nice (and intelligent, and whatever)
mircea_popescu: spent their time being a shitty network back when everyone used stumbleupon and digg,
mircea_popescu: i think so. early 2000ish, wasn;'t it ?
pankkake: oh I agree with almost much of the hate about reddit
mircea_popescu: in the remainder 5ish years of lifetime it still has, nothing subversive will come out of it.
mircea_popescu: redditors really want to matter.
pankkake: I'm ok with that
pankkake: redditors really want to name theymos, thermos
mircea_popescu: two snatches in a bar. one says to the other
ozbot: In the ‘ho’-tel biz: Lauren Silverman’s husband owns Panama ‘prostitute’ palace | New York
thestringpuller: also the ubuntu updater is based on aptitude no? why not just base something on debian instead of ubuntu?
thestringpuller: wget is so laaaame though
mircea_popescu: the ridiculous thing is, they have the concept of "recommended". not like it's either depend or nothing.
asciilifeform: wait till you see how many packages pull in xorg for no particular reason.
mircea_popescu: there's no reason for -standard to depend on the updater being present.
mircea_popescu: that's another thing
asciilifeform: i think the updater on various 'friendly' package systems demands wget/curl/the like
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform still not a reason to require it.
mircea_popescu: there is no sane reason to require wget for -standard.
mircea_popescu: no, imo ity's the best example.
mircea_popescu: sure. but there's no need to make that a dependency.
pankkake: to download the .debs, you need a downloader
asciilifeform: gotta love how the spooks insist on calling keys 'cryptovariables,' so you can almost tell where the monkey plagiarized open source docs and where he actually spewed his own text
mircea_popescu: i can't believe the girl's thing caught.
pankkake: > thermos
skinnkavaj: Upvote this: http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1nsmoa/bitcointalk_hacked_thermos_offering_50_btc_reward/
asciilifeform: inquisitor scans the whole site, then politely asks for snapshots of the dirty disks...
asciilifeform: not that many people have tor running on a hosted box
asciilifeform: this isn't exactly worthless info by itself, though
asciilifeform: the fellow running the port scan will see that the machine runs tor, and that's it
asciilifeform: even the lowest luser knows, i imagine, that you set up the service (e.g. http) on a local port, and expose only the tor port.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform what i meant was, as long as you have a port open, it's open for nmap too.
mircea_popescu: jesuis check this shit out
asciilifeform: except, apparently, the monkey
asciilifeform: every 'onion' luser knows this
asciilifeform: if you configure the damn thing right, the only external port is TOR's standard one
mircea_popescu: i don't think this problem is avoidable
asciilifeform: pg. 16: "In our time in the lab, we found that running an nmap on a node that isoffering a hidden service will turn up the port that the hidden service is using to deal with incoming connections. It can then be directly connected to, outside of Tor."
thestringpuller: where did ion tiriac come up then?
thestringpuller: ion tiriac?
thestringpuller: is that the reporter?
mircea_popescu: it'd have taken all of six months and landed him in jail for 800 years on account of it being bought by a dozen different undercover agents working for five or six different agencies.
mircea_popescu: i guess it's a good thing he didn't try to sell it on silkroad.
mircea_popescu: but anyway, for everyone's lolfactor : ion tiriac is a rich romanian banker guy. his son is a retard.
thestringpuller: wow that link is awful
mircea_popescu: he needs to meet my friend Dinah.
asciilifeform: "(U) 5. Oppressed Alice, who lives in a repressive country (no or limited free speech) and wants to talk about things contrary to her governments positions. The countries he used as examples were France, Germany (prohibitions on fascist writings?) and the US (not sure what he meant here?)."
ozbot: Talk by Roger Dingledine of Torproject.org at the NSA - The Washington Post
mircea_popescu: why yes, yes they do. that's the fucking argument.
mircea_popescu: so then "by becoming small government"
asciilifeform: they occasionally pull off nice things, but solely by crowning a viceroy (e.g. Korolev) who has absolute grasp over some fiefdom.
mircea_popescu: this is why big governments can't have nice things, irrespective of what uyou might have heard.
mircea_popescu: sort of like the bureaucratic scenario.
asciilifeform: sort of like the Soviet scenario of KGB vs GRU, or Hitler's 'two in a box' management style of abwehr vs gestapo.
mircea_popescu: now the former are trying to fix their broken china.
mircea_popescu: it's possible, but not likely. what happened is that one set of bureaucrats made tor at great expense, and another set used it in a disaster-of-commons way
asciilifeform: so it is even possible that one set of bureaucrats commissioned TOR and another, 'anti-' TOR
asciilifeform: to be fair, there is a long tradition here in the usa of first arming some fellows and then sending armies to bump them off
mircea_popescu: basically every contact in the "press" is being herded to defend this holy grail of "tor is actually safe"
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i think he was thinking about the other one
mircea_popescu: look at that shit.
ozbot: Not Even the NSA Can Crack the State Dept's Favorite Anonymous Network | The Cable
mircea_popescu: other than that, it ipos
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller WHEREAS, the individuals named have recently launched and intend to operate for the foreseeable future an unregistered corporation by the name "No Such lAbs" (NSA) dedicated to the production and marketing of a series of strong, fully integrated cryptography products, ensuring customers absolute immunity from third party attempts to access their data or communications ;
thestringpuller: pretend to be the nsa?
ozbot: NSA report on the Tor encrypted network - The Washington Post
mircea_popescu: all that's still needed is a logo and away we go!!1eleven
mircea_popescu: that's the message, "you are alone".
mircea_popescu: basically obama's horde is trying to show to congress that they can do absolutely anything and the sheeple will just take it.
