mircea_popescu: asciilifeform stronger argument than it seems. leaving aside the static issue, it's not even a given gpg compiles at all.
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
mircea_popescu: well the only argument pro i'm aware of is "it's there already"
mircea_popescu: yes. but if you then turn around and feed that into userland shitprng, you've not impoved anything.
mircea_popescu: that sameness allows the enemy some levers it needn't have, first of all in its own safety's sake.
mircea_popescu: actually, the sentiment here is that ~all usg code is just reused scraps of the same stale old crap. this sentiment is fed by you know, us having cut up the usg toys numerous times and having run into the same bits.
mircea_popescu: it's not clear how your proposal was an implementation, or better. delve please.
mircea_popescu: because cryptography deals with absrtacts only, the kerckhoffs standard makes sense. but whenever items with an associated mass are involved, things change.
mircea_popescu: cryptographical security is one thing ; operations security is another.
mircea_popescu: would you propose the usg "invisible fighter" program is "security through obscurity" ? because... it is.
mircea_popescu: review the thread re centralization recently. it's centralized at the sane place.
mircea_popescu: so, you may not ~care~ to compile them all ; but whether you are interested in war or not -- war is interested in you.
mircea_popescu: and gpg is not very far off this ; neither are ALL usg produced programs you are running.
mircea_popescu: (but nice trick with the archive there, got me to check out reddit and it wasn't even talking about me!)
mircea_popescu: turns out "the biftinex hack" was ~= same as "the mtgox blabla", ie usg ran off with the coins ?
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: o hey check it out -- latest trilema article not actually indexed by google.
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: 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.
mircea_popescu: (and, of course, we have, courtesy of you know, that "unreasonable expenditure that will spell the ruin of s.nsa and with it of the entire republic!!11" a complete list of all rsa moduli.)
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: we started moving away from sha-1 to sha-512 digests for clearsigned messages what, coupla years back ?
mircea_popescu: if you --import it gpg will probably update trinque's key under your signature won't it.
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.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: even then. "you weren't voiced on my machine, whence did this deed come from"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform no, i just mean the reason it can't get crapflooded with fake deeds.
mircea_popescu: this is where you link any imbecile of the geoffrey supran variety who dares blather about how "do not homebrew crypto"
mircea_popescu: amusingly enough -- it is currently the case that deedbot's deeds list integrity is currently protected by republican design rather than by usg's "cryptographic standards".
mircea_popescu: yeah, the whole rsa signature thing needs an overhaul.
mircea_popescu: or to quote from the cesspool, "This is both incredibly fascinating, and a beautiful show of the kinds of innovation the Bitcoin system supports!"
mircea_popescu: it's not so much a toy as peter todd & friends are retards.
mircea_popescu: what they say is "we recommend you mine the block yourself", because totally, this is how it goes, instead of saying "we understand this doohickey is braindamaged beyond the conceivable and the only reason it exists is the existential void besetting our meaningless existence"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the important point there is : the whole fake bitcoin address (3something) is supposed to be "useful" in practice. this utility is supposed to be proven by idiotic "challenges" like this one put up by peter todd. EXCEPT the output does not actually SIGN the transaction claiming the bounty.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: danielpbarron it's as real as it gets, why wouldn't it be real
mircea_popescu: dude, get lost. i'm going to use you for a urinal. that's it.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform there's an intermediate fp between the 40 char and the 8 char item.
mircea_popescu: which is funny seeing how tmsr design was moving towards "full modulus" a year ago and "for no reason"
mircea_popescu: added a fucking nonce, diddle it, hurr durr we're contributering.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform basically they're mining pdfs. anything, ANYTHING WHATSOEVER, please god anything, just as long as it's not the thing.
mircea_popescu: it's like going from jewish princess to blue collar divorced man in the space of one fucking season.
mircea_popescu: it shall be so lulzy to watch the libertards reconstruct BOTH the shreds of their failed official-left party as well as an imaginary not-trump GOP, all this while actually having to work two jobs to support themselves because well, the endowments are gone-gone.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform check that out, just like the white house!
mircea_popescu: so the media reports to have been "challenged" to stop mentioning the rapist raping it into an early grave by certain imaginary friends it has hallucinated into existence ?
mircea_popescu: i thought the pantsuit clown was "progressive" not "conservative".
mircea_popescu: ie what, rove + rumsfeld ? can they even piss on their own by now ?
mircea_popescu: this "small" alt right seems to be about the entire right.
mircea_popescu: either in terms of who participates or what it proposes. i can't seem to find either ?
mircea_popescu: anyway, what did the pravda say, what is the "big" and non-alt-right conservative ?
mircea_popescu: these be dangerous twenty five year olds with two kids.
mircea_popescu: clearly the jew pig did a great turn for our democracy.
