Mocky: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-29#1866992 >> using a variation this algo you can stuff a block half full of bits without any 2 consecutive bits being from a known plaintext, while the accumulating xor prevents the penguin ☝︎
Mocky: or a more direct counter argument: A xor A = 0 ☟︎
Mocky: mircea_popescu, do you have any interest in kuwait? if so I can keep this lead warm on the back burner while I work qatar
Mocky: good morning
Mocky: they eyes are closing, passing out in 3... 2..
Mocky: she works for army inteligence on the us base here. had to listen to 30 minutes of snoweden hatred ☟︎
Mocky: told me how to get liquor there, that it's not 'dry' like it's claimed, lol
Mocky: apparently kuwait computers are shit and one chick knows another chick who runs "cyber security" for a kuwaiti / iraqi company, has been in there for 30 years, knows everyone in the biz. promised me a kuwaiti business sponsor if I actually know anything about computer security, put her number in my phone for me, and texted her to expect contact from me ☟︎
Mocky: got 3 good leads for qatari introductions. and a kuwait lead thrust upon me
Mocky: socializing at fancy bar / restaurant for 5 hours. just got back home, about to pass out
Mocky: oh my god BingoBoingo I'm so fucking tired
Mocky: now if trump had promised to build a wall around D.C., then may have voted lol
Mocky: BingoBoingo, met up with a canadian teacher today who asked *me* if I voted for trump, i told her she was funny
Mocky: zackly
Mocky: yeah today was day 15/56 so 41 to go
Mocky: i'll hit some people up tonight and I'll be hanging with a few dozen westerners tomorrow night at the four seasons, i'll bring it up there too
Mocky: yeah something physical in hand that already works probably would be good cred
Mocky: and it has god dammed flashing lights too, no?
Mocky: you need a physical office space to be inspected to get the trade license and open company, so external not needed for that
Mocky: Ok i'll find out and report back
Mocky: otherwise it gets stuck in customs i hear
Mocky: I think I can open an account with some specific company locally and have receive dhl shipments. it's how they get stuff from amazon
Mocky: no I do not
Mocky: they have money here and there are a lot things that are notdumb. especially when compared to africa
Mocky: also i was surprised to hear nigerians talking about how dumb nigerians are. how they have money in nigeria but they are to dumb to do anything useful with it
Mocky: no dude, they have fambly there who love it. they would love too! ☟︎
Mocky: they are in qatar cuz they lost the lottery for who gets to go to usa
Mocky: unrelatedly, the miami in these filipinas and africans is off the fucking charts. they literally cannot sniff even a whiff of 'america aint that great' without spitting out 'america is the best, how could you even think it's not' ☟︎
Mocky: aye
Mocky: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-24#1865574 >> I quite like that actually ☝︎
Mocky: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-24#1865522 >> plus then you either have to reverse the pad for one, or maintain a bit of state for top-eater vs bottom-eater ☝︎
Mocky: the simplicity of otp is appealing, and knowing that no one is sitting on a back door
Mocky: yeah
Mocky: oh right
Mocky: hows the ack look like, a hash?
Mocky: so have to store block you most recently ack'd as well, to detect resend
Mocky: ok, i don't see a hole in it
Mocky: is the last ciphered block stored on disk?
Mocky: ack is sent but never received
Mocky: still have to handle unexpected disconnects tho right?
Mocky: and is block number sent or assumed next available?
Mocky: but also by ensuring material is not ever reused
Mocky: yup
Mocky: yeah but that card took 2 months for FG x10 to fill, no?
Mocky: ah yes, i see the 2 cards angle now
Mocky: i'm not familiar with off-the-shelf ethernet-to-rs232 box, but it sounds self explanatory
Mocky: yup, or fill two over lunch together and each walk away with identical copy
Mocky: sd card slot has merit. for iron otptron even two slots is not going overboard imo if it doesn't overcomplicate the design, since generally will need two copies and may prefer not to plug into general purpose comp
Mocky: self inflicted vitiligo, not good if you have a wide nose, lol
Mocky: makes me wonder what i'd look like white! :D
Mocky: yes, a few of them. but waffles here are like a desert gimmick, covered in thick layers of chocolate sauce or the like. they don't take this shit serious
Mocky: oh and in more important news, i got a line on where to buy a waffle maker here. went to the store and they actually do sell them. but ... sold out. which is probably for the best since they were selling a model worth 17$ that makes one at a time for 80$
Mocky: that's where it starts, next thing you know you're in some strange country
Mocky: it's funny to see "face whitening cream" on the grocery shelf next to shaving cream and tooth brushes. i always assumed it was just michael jackson and brown chicks with dark blemishes wanting to bleach skin
Mocky: thx
Mocky: even got a pic of indian on a ladder on my bed holding AC unit over head
Mocky: and 3 hours later COLD AIR!! lol
Mocky: working with programmers is hard, they constantly tell you why all your ideas are terrible, if any business person who can self teach vb / php can deliver "value" to manager without pesky programmer problems
Mocky: with some minor exceptions like mp's random home page & 404 & partial url matching
Mocky: ^
Mocky: yeah, pretty far down the list
Mocky: not hand rolled, jbake. like java version of jekyll
Mocky: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-22#1865071 >> I'm totally with you on that. I already "recompile" my whole site from src ascii docs when publishing every post and takes more than 10s ☝︎
Mocky: only rarely fiddled with if you have actual things to do, fiddled endlessly when activity substitutes for usefulness
Mocky: vb "programmers"
Mocky: I've met a ton of excel lovers who think php is fantastic. seems to appeal greatly to a certain type ☟︎
Mocky: i can't stomach php, which probably sounds rich coming from hardcore java dude. my www is static files and one old school cgi to python for comments ☟︎
Mocky: also, central air units don't feed the chumpatron. room units: huge market constantly turning, repairmen "fixing", "workers" installing, refurbishers
Mocky: maybe qataris have central air and only orc horde has room units, haven't been there yet
Mocky: qataris have maid, nanny, gardener, driver, tutor, butler pretty sure one could have 'change filter' on worklist
Mocky: mircea_popescu, http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-20#1864537 ☝︎
Mocky: most malls here are posh, yeah, central air
Mocky: re blockchainers, im going to try to get them to schedule an event with me as the speaker
Mocky: fine
Mocky: no, i have it on me. no need
Mocky: I'm going to try buying a benjie's worth from one and selling it the other just to meet them
Mocky: heh
Mocky: i don't recall it
Mocky: place i was in had 1940's newspaper in the walls
Mocky: lol
Mocky: i've lived in a couple old houses with ancient plaster. it would chip and crumble pretty easily
Mocky: could be plaster over cinder block
Mocky: they say it's not concrete, that only exterior walls are concrete. but it looks and feels like concrete to me. i can't understand what they are calling it, "tabukla" ?
Mocky: i dont' know what these interior walls are made of but they are prying nails out with hammer without damaging it. def not like back home
Mocky: they live in constant misery, mostly leaving after a short time
Mocky: in other observations, social pantsuits stand out like a sore thumb here. they can't stomach the "racism" "classism" "mistreatment" "conditions for local women". it's a constant irritant to them, they can't figure out how anyone here sleeps at night being party to such things
Mocky: i feel bad for my host, trying to get my ac fixed while dealing with these clowns, and thinks i'm just being gracious by saying it's not been bothering me
Mocky: "AR General Cool" lol
Mocky: lol they promised "samsung AC" but brought brandless chinesium claiming "this is the expensive one"
Mocky: and upgrade from the chair they used the first time
Mocky: considering that they are too short to reach the unit and put ladder on my bed to reach the install point!
Mocky: this should be fun
Mocky: oh hey, the 3 indians return with a new ac unit 8:30pm. now arguing with my nigerian host over having brought a different brand
Mocky: pretty sure I smell like old married guy, lol
Mocky: maybe if i had couple girls to polish the dust off my crown as i walk from the bar to the pool...
Mocky: i don't know shit about bdsm
Mocky: i've been doing java for 20 years
Mocky: mircea_popescu, yeah next chapter titled "depeche mode at the four seasons"
Mocky: "volatility" "use in malware attacks" stated reasons
Mocky: asciilifeform, I was told they have gold brick atms here
