asciilifeform: on top of this (and, uncharacteristically, is hyped 'feature', rather than seekrit 'nobus') the boxen no longer 'off' if there are any joules left in battery; nao serve 24/7 to relay gps coords from neighbouring crappletrons (both running and 'off') on the off-chance that someone didn't plug in a nic etc

asciilifeform: ( the heathens use intelism 'virtualizations' for it, wins a bit of speed but at cost of 9000 nobus )

asciilifeform: i vaguely suspect that it may have been the original usg-'standards committee'-powered explicitly-organized nobus generator

asciilifeform: meanwhile, in 'thought we hit bottom but then heard knock from below' in heathendom, https://archive.is/lFXpf << a chowdhra type Officially calls for nobus to be made Official doctrine

mircea_popescu: (it's a decent paranoid thought, this -- that the ban on lead solder is because nobus, otherwise trivial to identify lead wave patterns in the solder with small xray)

asciilifeform: pretty ham-handed, imho, 'nobus'ism.

mircea_popescu: looking into the intro/outro derpitudes, it looks like the nobus-encryption afficionados in usg.blue that survived the clinton era are looking to build "scientific basis" for ulterior nonsense.

asciilifeform: whole thrust is to 'nobus-maintain' the scenario where you buy 5 cpu-minutes on lullazon's cluster and get root. rather than to keep neighbouring lullazon-hruscheba tenants from fucking one another

asciilifeform: it 'works' in the same way as other 'nobus-maintenance' kludges (e.g. koch's 2016 patch) 'work' -- raise bar so that nobus

asciilifeform: any attempt to repair it simply creates a nsa.nobus imho

asciilifeform: what this does, is remove the 'nobus' aspect of the thing, nao anybody can r/w the fw via the snake.

asciilifeform: there's 9000+ nobus, and the ceremonial 'fix' for 3 or 4 makes no diff

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-07-22#1837161 << possibly in the folder of "secret nobus of the future". which yes is a thing ☝︎

asciilifeform: ( i.e. <1kg, 12+ hrs of run, 0 nobus, etc etc )

mircea_popescu: helps the whole "nobus child porn" thing, "if we didn't cheat here we'd cheat down the line" sorta anal children "arguments".

mircea_popescu: "these magical bits were found on '''your''' computer, and as we all know NOBUS coulda put 'em there"

asciilifeform: 'pleeeze make it so only obama can read with nobus key!!'

asciilifeform: via nobus.

asciilifeform: i've met these folx in the flesh, show'em e.g. http://www.loper-os.org/pub/nobus.jpg and response is lordosis

asciilifeform: it is probably impossible to educate the willingly thick, however, who ~actually~ see a box with NOBUS master keys as 'moar secure than with no keys'. these, will only wake up when they're sitting in kangaroo court , and confessing to 'child porn'

asciilifeform: prolly at some point i gotta write a 'NOBUS likbez' re the fundamental motivations ( they are not difficult to discern , but apparently entirely opaque to the herd , even when you exclude the willingly blind )

asciilifeform: 'nobus'(tm)(r)

asciilifeform: with a sprinkle of nobus on top.

a111: Logged on 2018-05-17 14:51 asciilifeform: fact of the matter is that shared unix tenant can create problems for the others ( without necessarily revealing himself as the source of said problem ) quite trivially . ( vps is moar 'nobus' in this respect, generally the 'escapes' are not public )

mircea_popescu: the nightmare this is becoming for the "nobus" bunch though. /me cackles.

asciilifeform: ( concretely, a key generator that produces a fairly good quality -- from 'nobus' pov -- class of weak keys )

asciilifeform: and to whittle away at the nobus idiocy -- ideally we get ~regular whole-ipv4 scans, and erry time a usgtronic router vendor with fixed keys etc is discovered, list of ~live~ boxes is seen by whoever wants.

asciilifeform: since the debian incident, enemy stepped up the 'NOBUS' crapola; no noar '32768 possible keys, total', instead things moar in the spirit of http://qntra.net/2016/08/rng-whitening-bug-weakened-all-versions-of-gpg

a111: Logged on 2017-02-07 19:35 asciilifeform: the ftmeade jargon, iirc, is 'nobus' ('no one but us'), in contrast with 'phuctor-style' discoverable hole.

asciilifeform: very much inline with nsa 'NOBUS' ('nobody but us' doctrine.)
