mp_en_viaje: if a beach bum walks into an internet cafe in indochina, ramen bowl in one hand and a found copy of eat, pray, love in the other, makes himself a key on
keybase and offers to write a better garbage collector for you, you... what do you do ?
anniez: uh so i registered with my
keybase public gpg key. should i remove and redo ?
a111: Logged on 2018-06-22 14:31 asciilifeform: KimuSan^: how , precisely , does
keybase differ from the key escrow db clinton tried to make mandatory ?
anniez: seems majority dislike
keybase anniez: do you guys use
keybase at all ?
mircea_popescu: alright, this is perfectly reasonable. but is this hygiene to be implemented as "mentions
keybase, dead" sorta "has fleas, firing squad" ?
mircea_popescu: if i feel like it i can put your pubkey on
keybase, asciilifeform ; what then ?
KimuSan^: Well don't know about you, but I prefer my communication to be private if needed. Telling that to my old father is close to impossible. Getting him on
keybase actually thaught him a lot about why and how. These days we encrypt all communication - even if it is just via a key he uploaded to
keybase.
KimuSan^: Actually my privkey is in my hardware key on my body. What I have I
keybase is what I need in order to communicate with others. I see
keybase as a good gateway drug to actually get people to start encrypting and signing coo. S

Keybase' etc.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, why else all the pretense, you know. bitpay exists to "please stop using bitcoin",
keybase exists to "please stop using rsa", the WHOLE point of the usg ersatzen is exactly this, to get the sort of retard who can't tell the difference between item and usg.fake to stop using item.
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron, you should remove
keybase from your profile.

Keybase Teams.
mother[m]: Going forward I wanted to pivot to
Keybase Teams.
☟︎ mother[m]: @mircea_popescu have one on
Keybase I use, but primarily use Signal, Telegram for co-located team members as the interface gradually became more 'Slack-like'
mircea_popescu: epic contributions from "paul nakata" (hey, nobody on a stick but has a
keybase key), some dork who "programs in cl every day" and the whole menagerie of "nobody told us to shut the fuck up like, ever"
mircea_popescu: pretty sure noone gives a shit about
keybase anyway, so not much to verify.
mircea_popescu: that'd be... not your key your twitter advertises on...
keybase (?!)
ben_vulpes: in other convergences, one of the '
keybase' faces nominally also 'built' the 'okcupid' thing mike_c now runs
mircea_popescu: " Our goal: smack-dab in the middle of a public Reddit or HackerNews or Twitter conversation, you should be able to say "Hey, I threw those gifs/libraries/whatever in our encrypted
keybase folder" without ever asking for more identifying info. If that person hasn't installed
Keybase yet, your human work is still done. They can join and access the data within seconds, and your device will quietly handle the verification and re
ben_vulpes: WHAT ARE YOU DOING ABOUT THE PHORKS,
KEYBASE?
erlehmann: i am glad such stuff exists, because association with it shows stupid. if i remember correctly, debian response to
keybase fuckery was: we consider stuff showing up on
keybase compromised, any keys showing up will be shot on sight.
erlehmann: asciilifeform crypto cranks need no proofs. take
https://keybase.io/triplesec/ – money quote: “We don't have any exact proof of security for a cascade of block ciphers in CTR mode. But we're pretty sure”
mircea_popescu: to be honest, back when the fucktards were like "o hi guise, i am 12 and expert, never heard of wot but i made this
keybase", i was all pissy because of the whole "i have never heard". now that they do the "oh i know tmsr is my true and proper sovereign, but might i not talk my way out of it ? i'm really clever like, plus i use words i can't define borrowed from an old copy of wikimedica" i'm pissy because of the whole clever
BenBE: mircea_popescu: No only PHP, but also C/C++, Java, web stuff, ASM (mostly x86/x64), Haskell, shell scripting, ... Also, as we are at WoTs:
https://keybase.io/benbe mircea_popescu: asciilifeform linked a dump at some point, check the logs. the principal parts are a sks+trims (
keybase, whatnot) dump that might be still available, though 2 years back in logs, and Framedragger 's ssh scan results, which he might share with you.
phf: i think the solution is to give up. switch to windows 10, connect through web irc client, put gpg key into
keybase, the works
shinohai: (
keybase allows signing of zcash scam addys)
Framedragger: (but for clarity,
keybase works perfectly well without being supplied with privkey, no?) ("i'm just sayin'" - not defending
keybase.)
thestringpuller: or atleast I have yet to encounter a
keybase user in the wild who has done so...
thestringpuller: asciilifeform: I don't think
keybase allows you to generate keys anymore...you have to supply them...
mircea_popescu: so yes, for the people to whom "their" twitter's page is important, then "their"
keybase key makes sense. and for the same money, for the people who breathe underwater, land respiratorial equipment is a must get. and for the people who are healed by collodial silver/prayer/psychic surgery etc, collodial silver/prayer/psychic surgery etc are useful.
Framedragger: look, obviously there are people for whom sociul media accountz are really important. some of them want to pretend they can use crypto, so they use
keybase to help them "link" their accounts. while this is inane, this does not, in itself, pose a security risk, if done properly (with external program which handles your privkey.)
Framedragger: anyway. i'm not using
keybase. i'm just sayin'.
Framedragger: i've stayed away from
keybase as it had that creepy (and useless) hipsta vibe, but if true, then it's actively malicious.
Framedragger: (i don't think
keybase gets to see your privkey tho.)
shinohai: I'm not entirely unsure this won't be the case in future, since last time I checked she had started using
keybase.io

shinohai: Maybe he should just switch to
keybase.io too
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform how about we add a credits page, move bernstein there, also add phf for
keybase spidering, jurov for github spidering, others as may be ? also theory prolly should be rewritten
