shinohai: It's a great sieve,
mircea_popescu: yeah, a bunch of idiots.
mircea_popescu: im sure it's yet another "technical leader" company consisting of the skeleton administrative crew of a failed dropshipper.
shinohai: 'We're gonna make pennies a day selling the data this thing collects guise!"
mircea_popescu: and while on it : a) wake me up when ivy league is not only free to entry but pays "bounty" to some lazy ass fuckwads for doing the fucking course work and b) the notion that this place will always be free as in beer to join is the height of ridiculousness.
mircea_popescu: i'd rather give bitcoin 20 at a time to the dedicated bob becks than 1 at a time to their 20 year junior worm phase.
ben_vulpes: someone made a cool thing that appeals to certain of my perversities, so i throw the fellow a bone. bonus points, i can write toys for my own phone without having to retch about obj-c or swift constantly, or use one of the eldritch js horrors
ben_vulpes: i am likely going to buy a license because what, i pay half that per year per staff member just to derp on ios shits with some modicum less of friction ☟︎☟︎
deedbot: [» Contravex: A blog by Pete Dushenski] Fellow astronauts, sure. Fellow “American proles”, hmm… - http://www.contravex.com/2016/06/02/fellow-astronauts-sure-fellow-american-proles-hmm/
BingoBoingo: Aha, that is a fine set of fucknuggets.
asciilifeform: can't resist, http://verysimple.com/2013/06/21/not-knowing-what-else-to-do-i-baked-a-cake
asciilifeform: oh and it's been a while,
asciilifeform: we may be seeing a remnant.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-06-03#1475427 << briefly returning to this thread, there is a remaining possibility - that at one point there were ~many more~ phuctorable pubkeys extant, but most were somehow purged, 'accidented' from sks. with that in mind i would ask for whosoever might know of a historic (1990s vintage) archive of pgp keyz. ☝︎
asciilifeform: for a P with ~any number~ of users.
asciilifeform: unless P had only a dozen users.
asciilifeform: generating unmassaged (no primality test) p and q in ALMOST ALL cases leads to a trivially phuctorable key.
asciilifeform: there is perhaps a third enigma,
asciilifeform: or have a fleet of gurlz dredge up '90s pgptrons etc.
asciilifeform: if i were a mircea_popescu i might put up a bounty or the like.
trinque: that "blog content" is found on a number of other pages
asciilifeform: so far there are only really 2 genuine mysteries -- 1) who generated the mirrored keys 2) which winblowz turd of a pgptron used unfiltered sewage for rsa modulus
trinque: https://www.google.com/search?complete=0&site=webhp&source=hp&q=%22Compiling+ffmpeg+on+OSX+is+fairly+straightforward+except+for+a+few+prerequisites+and+configuration+options.%22&complete=0&tbo=1&tbs=li:1
mod6: if I can find a spot for it, I may build that lean-to you were talkin about
mod6: But, I gotta replant some of them. Got a handfull of 'em way to close together.
mod6: anyway, a work in progress.
mod6: so i gotta kinda fuck with that a bit yet.
mod6: this was implemented as a means to ensure that the logs don't miss anything should one of the other bots drop off of a few minutes or something.
mircea_popescu: really, that looks like a prop.
BingoBoingo: In still further news, why is Amazon.com still a thing? https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Home-smallest-diesel-inverter-generator_60282975913.html
BingoBoingo: No, encode your bits in the exhaust note. Acoustic is a thing.
a111: Logged on 2016-06-03 00:42 phf: Gentlemen, I'm going to be away from civilization until Monday. I failed to get log bot auto reconnect operational in time, which means that if the bot is dropped by freenode, the log won't be updated until I come back on Monday. I apologize for this truly barbaric situation, meanwhile in case of failure you can use http://glyf.org/h/t-a?back=1 and send curses my way.

a111: Logged on 2016-06-02 19:02 mircea_popescu: quite. i wouldn't bother with it. "making a life" so that everyone can have one neglects the obvious point that if one fucking wanted one, he'd have made it long ago.
mircea_popescu: we even lolled about this back a month ago or w/e
mircea_popescu: not properly made, no. sort of a temple rather than a hospital. still, kept some records.
asciilifeform: sr had a standardized rating system ?!
a111: Logged on 2016-06-02 18:50 asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: if all it is, is a tarball of crud, i can pry out the pgp keyz myself
mircea_popescu learned this as a teen, whenceupon leaving the shop cashier was "ask me out". "aren't you busy ?!" genuinely puzzled mp. "not for you".
mircea_popescu: yeah but try and fill them from a sorted list
mircea_popescu: quite. i wouldn't bother with it. "making a life" so that everyone can have one neglects the obvious point that if one fucking wanted one, he'd have made it long ago. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: cool. now remind me why this was needed / useful and most importantly, how it became a priority.
asciilifeform: but if watchman is a drunk, healthy man is stuck with job
mircea_popescu: there's jobs for sorts of people. this was a job for punkman.
mircea_popescu: you know how in the old days night watchmen all had a lame leg ?

asciilifeform: thing has a buncha unpopulated gpio's.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: thing has no 'aux storage' other than a big internal coffin for 2.5" hdd, external sata jack, and some usb.
asciilifeform: (it has unpopulated pads for what appears to be additional usb jacks and a switch)
asciilifeform: ^ alert reader will notice that the 'mycloud' DOES have a working rtc battery.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: thing ships with a 256M flash, which is partitioned into pieces
asciilifeform: the pathetic part is that my 'mycloud' appears to have nuked its own nand somehow (not, fortunately, the uboot, but the idiot fedora thing. apparently it was mounting itself read-write - on a motherfucking eeprom! - and didn't like being reset a dozen times when i fiddled with the probes)
mircea_popescu: yeah doesn't reallty get going proper w/o a kid.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform anyway ; i dun specifically mean to piss on your lone-flying-fortress parade. but you gotta appreciate it's a stylistical preference for interpreting reality, rather than actual reality.
mircea_popescu: a
BingoBoingo: Depends on the phosphorous content of the shit? Interesting restrictions on phosphorous containing fertilizers are being placed out of concern for "water quality" at a time when "peak phosphor" is a quiet concern...
mircea_popescu: i just gave you a list of concrete.
asciilifeform: at least once i finally pop a shell on it.
asciilifeform: anyway it isn't a wunderwaffen, just a $50 really-nice-pogo.
asciilifeform: as in, you could crack a skull.
asciilifeform: thing is only a replacement for pogo in that it does >= what pogo did and 'only' costs 2.5x moar
a111: Logged on 2016-06-01 20:31 asciilifeform: http://www.frostyplace.com/index.php?story_id=11202 << i may have found a replacement for pogo.

mod6: whats the approx cost on a deal like this? $100?
mod6: <+asciilifeform> (recall, block index is RETARDEDLY kept resident in ram, being first leak) << yeah, getting these into `t' for the trb project will be a big main priority once i get tbot deployed.
mod6: next to the ethernet port chassis, the black thing looked like a jumper. the only jumper i see is next to C149

asciilifeform: 'Devuan, the once devil-may-care total fork of Debian, once linked to virulent internet sexism and gamer-gate affiliated image forums by Debian Developer Russel Coker, has mulled the option of enacting a Code of Conduct when one of its female members was insulted...'
mod6: asciilifeform: awesome find, i'll take a closer look at it tonight for sure.
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: http://trilema.com/2014/the-hour-of-reckoning/ was a nice read, thanks. chance, right.
asciilifeform: Framedragger: pogo is a small linuxable computer, now out of print

Framedragger: "They were bored to death even with their own thoughts and dreams, bored with the attack they expected momentarily. They were bored of being bored, and too sick and tired of being bored to even consider not being boring. It's just not possible to do, it exceeds human capacity. Turns out that when confronted with the meaningless pointlessness of endlessness, the inadequacy of the muchly lauded human faculty of creativity becomes readily a

asciilifeform: last thing out of him was actually a thread at trilema, to this effect.
asciilifeform: iirc we even had a fella ragequit over WoL closing
Framedragger: sounds like it was fun, at least for a while!
mircea_popescu: yeah, it's actually in the logs. mike_c had some theories about bitbet and how it could be better, we tried it out, on the conway cell thing. he made a very pretty looking game out of it.
Framedragger: what was war of life? (http://trilema.com/2014/the-twinheaded-announcer-announces/ ) ? a kind of game of life with bitcoin betting
phf: asciilifeform: yeah, it's in backlog, i need to make a case-insensitive version of KMP
mircea_popescu: writing a cannonizer and an algebraic operator on this shouldn't be impossible.
mircea_popescu: getting back to base phi : two machine words together, 64 bit each, encode a huge chunk of cannonical phinary numbers ; and the machine wouldn't even have to know that's what it's doing.
asciilifeform: life insurance in usa is ~wholly a scam. has been for eons.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> the life policy carries a stated beneficiary << AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHA Welcome to USSA. Beneficiary gets life insurance policy if they took it out on deceased themselves, but otherwise in USistani brokeness many times must first pass "DOes estate have expenses test"
