mircea_popescu: mike_c i can see it. which is why i kept pushing for the processing. the idea being that we have ~2mn keys which asciilifeform is going to have the machine cut through like tonight.
mircea_popescu: so can you live with it for a matter of days ?
mike_c: ah, so many fewer misses? yeah, there's no rush
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 40500 @ 0.00026215 = 10.6171 BTC [+]
mircea_popescu: ideally no misses, seeing how everyone in wot also had their key in the sks db
mircea_popescu: but there will be misses with newer keys. so what'd be the best approach for that ?
mike_c: Ideally? It's a fingerprint search. So if it misses, I would have it search sks for the fingerprint and show a page asking if you'd like to add that key.
mircea_popescu: it should just directly add it if it finds it actually.
mike_c: alternatively, a simple 'fingerprint not found' would suffice
mircea_popescu: nah it should add it.
mircea_popescu: jurov i know she was engaged at some point...
mircea_popescu: "new york times and internationally bestselling author"
mircea_popescu: srsly ? who the fuck is kelly oxford.
mircea_popescu: oh i see. "i'm twitter famous!" "meaning ?" "not famous."

mike_c: I overheard the other day that there was a dislike for newer versions of gpg. has anyone written up a blog post or something about why?
mike_c: ;;later tell mats I fixed the bug and added a better 'user not found' page. thx again.
gribble: The operation succeeded.

mircea_popescu: mike_c i don't trust the 2.x branch. dunno that there's a blogpost or anything
decimation: mircea_popescu: did you see openbsd 5.7 has a new http server that supports cgi
mircea_popescu: i had not
mircea_popescu: i dont think i ever used cgi incidentally.
mircea_popescu: in other news, this is how "wordpress vulnerability day" looks like :
mircea_popescu: $ cat trilema.com.txt | grep -c "wp-login"
mircea_popescu: 39491
mircea_popescu: $ cat trilema.com.txt | grep -c "58.96.27.42"
mircea_popescu: 6741
mircea_popescu: $ cat trilema.com.txt | grep -c "62.75.229.18"
mircea_popescu: 32720
mircea_popescu: that's the log for TODAY. 1MBps, for HOURS, with this crap.
mircea_popescu: terrabytes worth. because trilema soft 404s, and the idiots have nfi how to script.
decimation: lol
mircea_popescu: 62.75.229.18 - - [01/May/2015:10:49:51 -0400] "POST /wp-login.php HTTP/1.0" 404 27204 "-" "-"

decimation: are they all poking at that recent bug?
mircea_popescu: etc etc etc
mircea_popescu: myeap
mircea_popescu: and these have to be amateurs. there's just no way someone can afford to go through 30k 404s that each costs 20kb
decimation: Your site is probably auto-targeted. I bet the bot herder's scripts rank websites
mircea_popescu: this would be about as sensible as subsistence steppe hunters autotargetting whales.
decimation: but they are making money while they sleep!
mircea_popescu: certainly.
mircea_popescu: note the split too :
mircea_popescu: ;;calc 39491 / (32720+6741)
gribble: 1.00076024429
mircea_popescu: heh
mircea_popescu: so basically... two idiots. everyone else knows better.
decimation: yeah and one is 5 times more idiotic
decimation: by the way the openbsd httpd doesn't support cgi, it's fastcgi
decimation: which is cgi-over-socket
mircea_popescu: i imagined
mircea_popescu: nobody stil ldoes plain cgi do they ?
decimation: not really
mircea_popescu: anyway, im kinda happy with this new server.
mircea_popescu: doesn't seem to have minded it any.

asciilifeform: mike_c: here's my problem... mircea_popescu: mike_c i can see it... << working on it. or rather, will be, as soon as i finish writing my broadcast for april
asciilifeform: and yes we can do something spiffy with not-founds
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform he has a good point tho, rather than 404, it should attempt to curl the keyservers and gobble.
mircea_popescu: yeah
asciilifeform: but it is important to remember that 'keys' (in the customary sense) are indexed by the (garbage) hash of the -whole key- rather than fp - because it is actually subkeys that have fp's, rather than 'keys' (as in, what folks typically paste in)
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 41425 @ 0.00026215 = 10.8596 BTC [+]
asciilifeform: it can't curl the keyserver from a nosuchlabs.com/gpgfp/somethingorother 404
asciilifeform: because there is no physically possible way to determine what subkey ought to be asked from sks et al, for that particular pubkeyblock hash
asciilifeform: thinkaboutit
asciilifeform: for query -by fp- - yes, we could.
mircea_popescu: from the example he gave : http://nosuchlabs.com/gpgfp/8680FD3C9D20B92FBEF3D058FD5A63B9EAC2A55E translates directly to http://pool.sks-keyservers.net:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0xFD5A63B9EAC2A55E

asciilifeform: ah i meant to say,gpgkey
asciilifeform: gpgfp - yes, he is entirely correct
asciilifeform: we could.
mircea_popescu: well it's all he wants.
asciilifeform: originally i was very reluctant to auto-load anything from anywhere whatsoever
mircea_popescu: he hates dead forwards. like erryone on web
asciilifeform: how about a simple 'we don't have it, but you can get it from .... ' ?
mircea_popescu: well, curl http://pool.sks-keyservers.net:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x$key | curl post to phcktor.
assbot: Public Key Server -- Get "key 0x " ... ( http://bit.ly/1I4hJ16 )
asciilifeform: ^
mircea_popescu: nah this really should be automated.
asciilifeform: specifically from ^ ?
asciilifeform is ill at ease with dependency on non-wot folks
decimation: asciilifeform: are you comfortable with pulling wot keys from non-wot keyserver?
asciilifeform: decimation: not very.
asciilifeform: decimation: in general, there really oughta be more out of band key exchange.
decimation: the problem with the sks server is that it aggressively shares keys
decimation: with other servers of its kind
asciilifeform: decimation: why is that a problem ?
asciilifeform: they're fucking -public- keys
decimation: well, then why have a problem from pulling a key off a turd in the street?
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 13488 @ 0.00025952 = 3.5004 BTC [-] {2}
asciilifeform: decimation: i specifically have a problem with hardcoded url, etc. dependency on some random street animal.
decimation: yeah, it's rather annoying to hit the keyserver dns 'carousel'
asciilifeform: not that it matters, really, if sks lies about some random derp's key. it is a typical 'shakespeare's works were not written by shakespeare but by another man of the same name' non-problem.
asciilifeform: but as a matter of general principle - 'act from cause' (TM) - we oughta have self-contained infrastructure whenever practical.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform but these are being tested, not used
mircea_popescu: it makes sense to be sloppy.
asciilifeform: from my point of view - yes, tested. from mike_c's www - they are wot data
asciilifeform: and hence merit some care
mircea_popescu: and note that while it makes sense ot have a b-a keyserver (and it's beinbg made), THAT item will do exactly the same curl stuff.
mircea_popescu: cuz what else.
asciilifeform: the only 'else' is meatspace/out-of-band shenanigans, yes.
mircea_popescu: myeah.

mircea_popescu: exactly.

mircea_popescu: this one, dedicated to the theme that "bsdm is bad".
mircea_popescu: but generally, you can find incredibly ample if very well unknown networks of prose dedicated to any random nonsense you wish to pick.
mircea_popescu: the social studies million army may well be useless, but it is not in point of fact idle. the important difference is that while the printing presses of money are run as fast as they can run but by a central authority, the printing presses of discourse are run in overdrive independently.
mircea_popescu: as a result, the countless shanonizers are inches away from reproducing shakespeare.
mircea_popescu: cazalla who in the us ~doesn't~ face 20 years in jail, i wish to know. it's what that country is predicated on, by now. "i am a us citizen and i face twenty years in jail three times before breakfast. i hope they give us marmelade today". ☟︎

davout: so apparently an A380 can't go to mars after all
mircea_popescu: how is failsafe mode = "no worky"
davout: that's how I read "a loss of all AC electrical power"
mircea_popescu: me too. but it really isn't what failsafe means.
mircea_popescu: this is faildangerous
davout: I'm not an expert in the field, yet, but maybe what's meant by "failsafe" is: "it's better to shut power down than to somehow explode inflight"
