BingoBoingo: I mean cellphone accidents are how the Israeli's get a lot of their cadavers
phf: i guess goes to mircea_popescu's often repeated points about a difference between king and bureaucrat
asciilifeform: so i have nfi what kind of imbecile would pay the ransom. ☟︎
trinque: ah, thought I recalled a few that went right through the web browser
pete_dushenski: femayos only kamikaze in slow-motion, often over the course of several decades, so i'll have plenty of time to move saddam around the corner and out of her fat way.
danielpbarron: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-08-01#1512484 << I suspect you already do this: there's a decent ssh client you can get for iPhone and I use it to log into a simple little machine at home that runs irssi 24/7 inside of screen ☝︎
pete_dushenski: *i suppose
pete_dushenski: BingoBoingo: i also don't see mine coming because... not lord atm.
pete_dushenski: there's no online link to the article that i could find, but one or two of the gems were "[some area] has been revitalising since 1980" and "the markets are incredibly diverse and sell everything from car parts to old records"
pete_dushenski: in other exquisitely refined contravex comments : "I find it fascinating that an otherwise intelligent person is unable to see the huge value of Facebook"
pete_dushenski: yea, newer mba requires whole laptop back case to be removed to replace battery. probably macbook pro too but i dun really keep up to date anymore
phf: i had that happen to me too by the way, it's my day to day 2011 macbook pro, and even the chassis got bent. all i had to do is order replacement battery and carefully apply a rubber mallet. good luck doing that on recent apple machine(tm)

pete_dushenski: ut in general, they will kind of talk you up. But then when you get up to the same level or maybe even higher, they get in attack mode; they are maybe not as supportive. I kind of felt that this time."
pete_dushenski: "I was actually happy to see the Hit King get defensive. I kind of felt I was accepted. I heard that about five years ago Pete Rose did an interview, and he said that he wished that I could break that record. Obviously, this time around it was a different vibe. In the 16 years that I have been here, what I’ve noticed is that in America, when people feel like a person is below them, not just in numbers b
asciilifeform: prolly in 'ogniem i mieczem'..
asciilifeform: relatedly, i was looking recently at a house and landlord had petrol tank, disembodied, from airplane, and part of a wing
phf: i like how marlinspike's whisper is the secure alternative to telegram. every time i mention telegram in any tech venue there's always some clown going "use whisper instead telegram is insecure!!!", because in their heads whisper, running on a fully locked down platform, obviously is
asciilifeform: i suspect they are penile-compatible!
phf: i couldn't find keyboard with big enough keys
mircea_popescu: these days i answer most emails with my penis.
asciilifeform: i can tell that mircea_popescu never answered mailz with one finger, of one hand, hanging from a rail, from a moving train, over 8kbaud modem...
ben_vulpes: i will not tap at screens anymore.
mircea_popescu: even I know what it is. enough to despise it.
mircea_popescu: "i tested 1001 devices, i don't know what gboard is"
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: if somebody sold a morse code arse muscle clenching-powered entry thing, i might test even that.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i've tested 1,001 devices
asciilifeform: i dug in, and turned up, iirc, that this is DELIBERATE
phf: trinque: it's truncated from the original, so i agree with asciilifeform or mircea_popescu it's either a very very lame hacking "attempt" or a troll
asciilifeform: trinque: it is, as far as i can tell, a paste of a stock metasploit thing.
asciilifeform: 'dumb' as i understand, traditionally means battery life measured in ~weeks~
asciilifeform: i suspect that it was, precisely as mircea_popescu describes, low-effort - ~key gen~. which is to say, it was not meant, necessarily, to pop
phf: i suspect it's an external url in either of those two pieces of obfuscated content, that base64 chunk or the x-imap4-modified-utf7 pieces
asciilifeform: all i see is the dropper
asciilifeform: phf: i was reasoning from the fact that this pubkey does not appear to exist anywhere, publicly, other than phuctor.
phf: asciilifeform: it's an attack against a pgp key consumer with a specially broken viewer. userid in this case tries very hard to account for specific set of circumstances (i'm seeing 4 vectors so far), and we're only matching for one, specifically fact that ben_vulpes doesn't sanitize his html.
asciilifeform: but i have nfi what the intended eater was.
ben_vulpes: what am i looking at
phf: mircea_popescu: a lot of xss detection "solutions" rely on grepping for known bad input, like "script" or whatever. and there are ways to sidestep that, like '<scr' + 'ipt>' or a='ipt>';'<scr'+a. in this case whoever is fucking with detection by using this truly wtf feature i've never heard of, <meta charset="a">b</meta> that apparently parses b according to charset a rules ☟︎
ben_vulpes: eh i was lunchin
asciilifeform: why it was necessary to put this in a strictly fermat-breakable artificial key, vs. some simple case of gcd or 8ball, i do not know - write to hitler and ask him, not me.
mircea_popescu: so wait, i win ?
trinque: I'm not writing code to intelligently split lines based on whatever you decide to put in there
phf: i have similar phone, somewhere in logs, and last time i checked amazon a few months ago it was going for $200-$800, while same model a year ago cost $30
shinohai: I thought a little context might be nice, to know what I was bwahahaha'ing at but whatevs.
a111: Logged on 2016-08-01 18:22 danielpbarron: i don't see the value in referencing the conversation from within itself..
mircea_popescu: i drove over the thing, worked fine.
a111: Logged on 2016-08-01 18:14 trinque: ones I've seen look like they'll break the first time they're sat upon
danielpbarron: i don't see the value in referencing the conversation from within itself.. ☟︎
asciilifeform: trinque: i have nfi, for all i know your house is under a microwave death ray from across the street, or the like.
trinque: asciilifeform: I work about 15ft from AP line-of-sight
asciilifeform: danielpbarron: i do it so i can use phf's auto cross-reference.
asciilifeform: trinque: i use same, it worx...
trinque: at least on tmobile; I use it daily
trinque: I don't want heavy metal in my pocket
asciilifeform: i've never seen a mobile pnoje which wasn't.
trinque: asciilifeform: https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/61WcU%2BYf74L._SL1000_.jpg << chinese as hell. shitty screen, bad buttons, hates the human hand
trinque: I don't care if I spend a couple hundred on something that can be dropped and on which I can actually make a phonecall
trinque: ones I've seen look like they'll break the first time they're sat upon ☟︎
trinque: I've seen them; they're garbage
trinque: I haven't found a single dumbphone that looks solid
asciilifeform: and i will point out that '2g' is being phased out in the industrialized world.
trinque: https://www.punkt.ch/en/products/mp01-mobile-phone/ << I've been thinking about getting this dumbphone, dropping my iTurd
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: i had a crapple lappy burst with gas ☟︎
ben_vulpes: i've not been so blessed.
asciilifeform: i'ma trepane the thing tonight...
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes has, i imagine, seen this
asciilifeform: i shit thee not
asciilifeform: and speaking of defective american tech, i have here an ipnoje that is about to... frag
shinohai: I always found it hilarious that Dexter, which supposedly took place in Miami, was actually filmed in California.
mircea_popescu: (i'm not even kidding. these fucktards actually admire miami, which is the first time i ever heard anyone say anything like that. moreover the influence is visible in society, architecture, economics etc.)
trinque: thestringpuller: I too like to reply "go away" in the ticket system
shinohai: As for the insolvency rumors, I guess cryptographic proof is just too hard.
mircea_popescu: fucking dickhead brian armstrong. literally, i'd rather look at a picture of an animated penis.
thestringpuller: i don't dictate my own actions in the uranium mines
thestringpuller: Oh my god. i have to pass the certificate requests through the load balancer separately?
mircea_popescu: "not worth it". an assessment i find difficult to dispute.
asciilifeform: pretty sure i did
asciilifeform: speaking of the shuttle cocks, when i was a young apprentice at a usg lab, mandatory safety lectures still reminded chemists to refrain from mouth-pipetting...
asciilifeform: i dun recall anyone having ~asked~ the mill gurlz whether they wanted the job.
a111: Logged on 2016-08-01 07:52 mircea_popescu: anyway, phf stood it up in ten minutes, which i'd expect to be typical, with the occasional alfexception.
asciilifeform: why is ben_vulpes hosting blog on vm ? or did i misread.
a111: Logged on 2016-08-01 07:59 ben_vulpes: the prefuckingcise reason i am not making the investment in mp-wp at this moment is because i am paying a debt on the virtualization tool choise.
BingoBoingo: At least I didn't resort to trying to use ether on it.
BingoBoingo: Why do you think I drank? I was trying to clean the crap pop culture out.
shinohai: Nah that sly edit was very clever, I like it.
mircea_popescu: not like someone couldn't MAKE one, for that matter. fine way to learn about governance i say.
mircea_popescu: and yeah, i wish it were around too, but i guess we can't have everything.
asciilifeform: incidentally, i wish that bitbet were alive, so that we could take bets prior to the mega-revelation of how many keys pop when i test for q == NextPrime[p]
mircea_popescu: and in other news : oj simpson may or may not have killed his nonconsensually slutty wife and some schmuck named ronald. that schmuck's family did in fact win a civil award of 33.5 mn. of the sum owed, they collected a few hundred k's, which consist entirely of... the royalties from a ghostwritten book. "if i did it: confessions of the killer".
mircea_popescu: sadly at the time i didn't have a blog, nor truth be told any interest in "the world" generally speaking. so the notes will forever sit.
ben_vulpes: i just gotta piss on every fence in case one of 'ems electrified
mircea_popescu: "if i let bill work remotely he might who knows, fuck his wife! whereas this amd is safe, it'll just sit there."
ben_vulpes: i had no idea what i'd bought at the time.
mircea_popescu: i never quite understood the appeal of "virtualiation".
ben_vulpes: and with an unprovisioned server slowly grinding towards utility i am /already ridiculously safer/ than running virtualized.
mircea_popescu: cash is safer than plans, though, in that context (which is a very sensible context i might add).
ben_vulpes: the prefuckingcise reason i am not making the investment in mp-wp at this moment is because i am paying a debt on the virtualization tool choise. ☟︎
ben_vulpes: dude i'm repouring a foundation over here.
ben_vulpes: anyways i have several mega housekeeping chores in between here and trying mp-wp for myself.
