mircea_popescu: and then
koch wants to go around pretending like he's one of us.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: but in general speaking, usg.
koch blessed us with an idiocy which has to be resolved somehow.
mircea_popescu: ie, the reason
koch-gpg-clearsing worked ok for us for a long time is that while flawed as alf correctly (and repeatedly for a year now) points out, nevertheless its hole falls atop a hole of v, namely that it doesn't do "-----"
mircea_popescu: incidentally asciilifeform : as a palleative : could we actually just fucking edit
koch-rsa so that "----" rather than "-" becomes a symbol and deploy this on deedbot ?
a111: Logged on 2016-12-11 18:46 asciilifeform: btw for folx who are thick as a brick i will point out, that i SPECIFICALLY DO NOT WANT vdiff's '---' turned by idiot
koch liquishit into '- ---'
mircea_popescu: that the niggers won't listen to usg is one thing - they get the TB treatment (body reaction to
koch's bacile is to build walls, literally of calcar, around bacile ghettos in the lungs). who cares, 10% of the pop and concentrated in the poor south / poor urban areas. but by now the hippies don't listen either ? young whites ? that's becoming dangerous.
mircea_popescu: suppose what's his face with the blog shows up, +rates
koch and that other idiot, and -rates you and mod6
mircea_popescu: one particular angle would be that if we generate republic-rsa keys (see
http://btcbase.org/log/2016-08-18#1524210 eg) as opposed to
koch-rsa keys then yes eulora server will have to dump its privately maintained wot to deedbot periodically ; but on the upside we get very cheap transition to the new format while maintaining all the backwards compatibility one could want.
☝︎ mircea_popescu: now, the one hold-up here is that we've not yet settled on an universal-fingerprinting-function and we don't like how the
koch-rsa fingerprinting works
mircea_popescu: even the notion of "expire" as implemented in gpg.
koch is nonsense. should be replaced with "disused", as in, "i took it out of deedbot and am not using it anymore"
mircea_popescu: but the bullshit
koch does ; or blizzard does ; or app development or etc ain't it
mircea_popescu: considering we have millions of keys, and considering the sort of shenanigans we've seen currently, including werner
koch's gpg subversion most recently ; it would not be inconceivable at this point if a good chunk - thousands, hundreds of thousands of keys can actually be factored once we figure out which exact 20, 30, whatever bits are actual entropy , and how the nextprime is chosen on the basis of that.
mircea_popescu: so wait, wait, if "nobody's key got compromised" then
koch bug was no bug ?
mircea_popescu: Framedragger the problem here is moreover default trust. so you wake up one day and you see... "gnupg". nomina nuda. you look around, theres' "werner
koch" idem, nomina nuda. you look, there's "tor" with "shari" and "isis". names, hollow as can be. but the natural tendency of the brain, to see movement in a succession of stills and meaning in noise and structure in names convinces you these are THINGS.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: first case of
koch-gpg / openshit-ssh keys sharing a factor. pity it's such a lulzy one, HOWEVER, it does make the "sks error" nonsense just a little more lulzy.
mircea_popescu: turns out EVERYTHING phuctor found comes straight from usg.
koch mircea_popescu: "This patch also fixes a memory leak of opt.keyserver en passant." << first rule of
koch, drepper, weiner & all nsa goons : ALWAYS bundle new vulns with memory leak fixes etc.
decimation: pete_dushenski & asciilifeform : what about the
koch brothers building their own western town in the middle of nowhere colorado
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> i do not know enough about
koch to say < i do. he's old. this is a game for men, not for codgers.
decimation: even if herr
koch wanted to create a 'functional german hamlet' from ukraine, (for instance), how could he possibly do it without making it like disneyland?
mircea_popescu: i don't share the power rangers' suspicions of Werner
Koch.
BingoBoingo: decimation: I think of Denton more as the mirror image of the
Koch Brothers, but that's a very imperfect correspondence.
BingoBoingo: mats_cd03: >> white last names with greatest likelihood: Yoder 98.1% Krueger 97.1% Mueller 97%
Koch 96.9% schwartz 96.8% novak 96.8% schneider 96.7% schroeder 96.7% haas 96.7% << I've met 8 of these surnames

decimation: " Banca d?Italia reveals that 1,199.4 tonnes, or nearly half the total, is held in the Bank?s own vaults under its Palazzo
Koch headquarters on Via Nazionale in Rome, while most of the other half is stored in the Federal Reserve Bank gold vault in New York."
