asciilifeform: wrote because the choices are 'write into a bottle' or 'eat bullet'
mircea_popescu: mmm
mircea_popescu: i suspect it's more the case that "wrote because i am wrong, and i know i am wrong, and if i don't write i can't sleep."
asciilifeform: same thing
mircea_popescu: "but if i do write i sometimes can also pretend like i don't know that i'm wrong."

phf: james lafond incidentally wrote how old time pubs were places were men could run wild boasts by the others and get called out or not, and that this form of conversation has been lost. seems to me in "consensus" places there's always some fuck ready to butt in into any point, just to make a counterpoint, that it's inconceivable for redditards that there's a dozen reading and thinking without running their mouths

mircea_popescu: what has happened however was a shear (ie, kill the middle). there is no point in carnation lower class men should be engaging in this sport, that's not in any sense their place. not like a random blue collar derp can, through no matter how liberal application of port and tavern-debate, become an engineer.

phf: mircea_popescu: i think the idea was imprinted on me through soviet imagery still, of a young pioneer politely and carefully observing an older pioneer performing some tricky task, soldering say. the implication was "this old person, knows better, so shut the fuck up and learn"
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: confirmed!
mircea_popescu: phf sure, but most of the things we do today can't be thus learned.
mircea_popescu: it's a fine way for kittens to learn to mouse, and for young pioneers to learn to solder.
mircea_popescu: but look how terribru the C rms has learned turns out to be.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i prefixed LC_ALL="en_US.UTF-8" ./foo.sh and ended up with something quite like mod6's diff.

ben_vulpes: recap plz?
ben_vulpes: i humbly submit for poor log-following canings.
ben_vulpes: but timestamp recap plz? or link?
asciilifeform: basic choices reduce to a) let'em live and pollute diffs b) tear'em out c) copy from filesystem timestamps of originals somehow
ben_vulpes: raaaaaa
ben_vulpes: in output of 'diff'?
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: see mod6's link earlier.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: basic boojum here is that no two diffs ever diff cleanly on account of timestamps.
asciilifeform: try it.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the timestamps are truly meaningless here.
mircea_popescu: code is timeless or not code.
ben_vulpes: omit.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: they are not ~entirely~ meaningless, in that they impose an ordering. BUT my antecedent hashes do that now.
mircea_popescu: aha
mircea_popescu: blocktime
mircea_popescu: ironically, it is b-a that has the first and so far only actual application of "blockchain technology"
Vexual: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cgm6EYzwxpg
asciilifeform: at any rate, they can't be removed entirely because epoch0 is 'magic' to diff
asciilifeform: (means absent file)
asciilifeform: but all non-0 stamps could be replaced with some arbitrary.
asciilifeform: though iirc diff will complain whenever a file on the local filesystem is being replaced with 'older'

mircea_popescu: (also let me mention here, as this may come as a suprirse to my western friends - that in romanian classical society, as well as for that matter most of eastern europe, as well as for that matter all of europe in an earlier, simpler time - it was the height of poor taste for a woman to refuse sexual congress, and a pointed declaration of personal infirmity. sort-of like saying you can't read without your glasses

mircea_popescu: this thing is only notable because the guy is exactly correct in what he says. but he's easily the least frequentable name in romanian politics, short of actual mental cases. and this not in a good way - he truly is reprehensible.
mircea_popescu: how this shit works, where truth only ends up spoken by the thoroughly disgraced, is my favourite mystery of nature.
mircea_popescu: for as long as there's even the faintest hope of maybe one day scamming someone, every last human being is 100% jwz.

jurov: you mean to btc-dev?
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: to use jurov's thing, you need 3 things: a clearsigned readme (1st attachment)
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: the actual patch (optional, if the message concerns a patch) - 2nd attach
mod6: <+pete_dushenski> really, if this wasn't obvious to mod6, ppl like hanbot and i have no chance << this probably should have been obvious to me. but sometimes, hard to see the forest through all of the trees. i've been looking at the compare diff a lot lately, and forgot that /all/ is contained in the genesis.diff.

mircea_popescu: jurov cool, ima try this and bitch more if i can find a way to.
jurov: if your email client is known not to mutilate text, put clearsigned text into the body instead of first attachemnt
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: the importance of the thing i intended, roughly, is that ~everything is either a vdiff or a sig~
ascii_field: in 'v'
jurov: otherwise, left body empty
danielpbarron: i noticed today that you don't need to rename the files in order for them to verify; you can sha1sum and gpg --verify the downloaded attachments as they come, and go straight to extracting the tar afterwards
ascii_field: both vdiffs and sigs (the former by virtue of having one or more of the latter matching) are immediately attributable to an l1 pubkey
ascii_field: and, for the first time ever in history of versionatrons, you can take a tree of unknown constitution and determine what patch set it corresponds to (if any)
mircea_popescu: incidentally, i'd like to remind the esteemed readership, especially those people who would like to make their non-stem degrees useful to the future of this world, that http://trilema.com/2013/so-whos-running-the-courts-circus/ is still open. a significant amout of work has already been put in, help me reward it by completing the task.

punkman: ascii_field: why L1? doesn't ml use L2?
ascii_field: punkman: perhaps it does? but iirc the only contributors thus far live in l1
jurov: yes it uses l2
mircea_popescu: iirc it accepts l2 but no one but l1 used it yet
ascii_field: ah
punkman: phf is L2
danielpbarron: PinkPosixPXE would be the exception to that l1 only theory
mircea_popescu: aok
ascii_field notices that he has been using 'vdiff' and 'vpatch' interchangeably. this is not really an error.

pete_dushenski: haha mine too!
pete_dushenski hums the theme song to himself
danielpbarron: and I "wasn't allowed" to watch ren and stimpy (had to sneak it) ☟︎
ascii_field: btw here's another thing to add to the 'gpg is mega-retarded' list: gpg sig does not contain a sig of self !!
ascii_field: so it is quite impossible to verify that it is valid per se, without having the payload
pete_dushenski: danielpbarron the only show i wasn't allowed to watch was wwf wrestling
pete_dushenski: lest i try to piledrive my younger brother into the concrete sidewalk or something
ascii_field: (i could explain why one may wish to do this, but will leave it as an exercise)
trinque: danielpbarron: heh me too re: ren & stimpy
trinque: ascii_field: maybe in the case where the payload was munged in regards to whitespace or the like ?
jurov: sailor moon ☟︎
jurov: jkjk
ascii_field: trinque: sometimes one wishes to eat the sig prior to the payload
ascii_field: say, a public www where these can be dropped in a hopper
punkman: ascii_field: well you can sign the detached sig if you please
trinque: ah yep.
ascii_field: 'take any sig and then see' creates a ddos vector
ascii_field: punkman: whereas 'sign the sig' again means that you can't take a single file at a time.
trinque: I mean were www sane it would work precisely that way
jurov: yes, if petabyte payload
ascii_field: or this
trinque: sig comes over as part of header, then body
ascii_field: header ?!!#$$
punkman: ascii_field: wrong
punkman: --armor --sign
ascii_field: punkman: didja miss all the 'clearsigning is retardedly broken' threads ? ☟︎
trinque: ascii_field: yeah, why not? you send me a GET, I first tell ya how many bytes to expect, then signature, then body?
punkman: not clearsign, --sign
jurov: punkman and how does that help with verifying the sig as soon as posible?
punkman: you --sign --armor the detached sig :P
trinque: what I mean by header is perhaps no more than: -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
trinque: just put the sig immediately following
trinque: with maybe the hash used and byte length preceding, actually
ascii_field: what if i don't want to hear so much as one byte if sig isn't from l1 ?
ascii_field: (beyond the sig)
trinque: you must at least know what hash to try, yeah?
trinque: and then yes, perhaps the sig validates that information
trinque: makes total sense
trinque: I mean in the case of the hash, implicitly so
trinque: or barring that seems like one must simply be chosen and that's that
ascii_field: thing is, read rfc2440
ascii_field: pgp sig doesn't carry the whole hash.
ascii_field: only the lowest order 16 bits of it.
ascii_field: (for fast rejection of entirely off sig)
ascii_field: who the FUCK thought that this was sane.
punkman: demo: this contains a signed detached sig for asciilifeform's genesis.vpatch: http://dpaste.com/18YW8WF

trinque: "Good" "Enough" (TM)
ascii_field: i mean, i can maybe see a case where this is strategically necessary
ascii_field: but as sop ?
trinque: I think it's becoming clear that as mentioned already, none of this shit was ever used in battle.
trinque: not even lowly diff
ascii_field: everybody with a unix box lives & dies by 'diff'
ascii_field: (even if he doesn't know it)

assbot: ... ( http://bit.ly/1JqDYhr )
trinque: who will lose his job (or life) if diff fails to work?
jurov: dunno if it's right question
trinque: jurov: what would be?
trinque: I don't see anyone on earth who owns diff
jurov: i can imagine someone fearing their job if diff isn't locale-aware
trinque: I was about to discuss that aspect; it's not that no one cares about diff; it's that everyone has conflicting reasons for caring
ascii_field: trinque: can't build so much as a kernel w/out 'diff'
trinque: and nothing focuses them coherently
trinque: so every single piece of open source is compromized to the degree it was ever used at all
trinque: *compromised
mircea_popescu: jurov subject ? leave empty ?

The
