Framedragger: jurov: no i meant exponent in this case actually, the actual exponent for that key was supposed to be 65537
Framedragger: jurov: but that key is borked due to my hasty scripting, so makes sense that the parsed modulus is not prime, either

☟︎ phf: only if you have a properly sized negro
BingoBoingo: Anyways apparently high end cordless tools are actually useful now since Techtronic of Hong Kong apparently OEM's for all the brands it hasn't bough and actually introduced *gasp* BRUSHLESS motors.
BingoBoingo: phf: The push down ratcheting screwdrivers by yankee/stanley are pretty cool, but also discontinued since forever ago.
BingoBoingo: The way it works is instead of weird wrist twisting motion screwdriver allows more familiar jack off pumping motion.
BingoBoingo: Aha those drills look like they can take hammer to make hammer drill

BingoBoingo: Was a boy scout so rite of passage. Was carbon steel so also required oiling.
BingoBoingo: A few months ago got my first cordless drill. Went with "Ryobi Starter Drill" so the battery would work with reciprocating saw I wanted which comes without battery. Reciprocating saw is wonderful. Drill chuck slips on drill bits all the time so in a futile effort t detach chuck the contents of the drill's gearbox is now scattered on a corner of my desk.

phf: i kind of assume those things are not actually designed for drilling, but for accessorizing at home depot
☟︎ phf: japanese products for american market are all made in china. they are bigger, clunkier and cheaper. authentic japanese item almost always looks and feels more compact, but to acquire one you have to go to weeb websites, or try to wade through export sites with huge markups

BingoBoingo: And hopefully China likes Milwauke's reputation more than Japan's
phf: i was actually comparing a zojirushi rice cooker that i bought from amazon to the one my jap friend brought from motherland. it's sort of like is somebody designed an item that's supposed to look identical from the distance, but has lower resolution upon closer inspection. missing features, BIG buttons and less of them, cheaper rougher molding. it's hilarious

mircea_popescu: I myself used a Hole Hawg to drill many holes through studs, which it did as a blender chops cabbage. I also used it to cut a few six-inch-diameter holes through an old lath-and-plaster ceiling. I chucked in a new hole saw, went up to the second story, reached down between the newly installed floor joists, and began to cut through the first-floor ceiling below. Where my homeowner's drill had labored and whined to spin the hu
mircea_popescu: ge bit around, and had stalled at the slightest obstruction, the Hole Hawg rotated with the stupid consistency of a spinning planet. When the hole saw seized up, the Hole Hawg spun itself and me around, and crushed one of my hands between the steel pipe handle and a joist, producing a few lacerations, each surrounded by a wide corona of deeply bruised flesh. It also bent the hole saw itself, though not so badly that I couldn'
mircea_popescu: t use it. After a few such run-ins, when I got ready to use the Hole Hawg my heart actually began to pound with atavistic terror.
mircea_popescu: But I never blamed the Hole Hawg; I blamed myself. The Hole Hawg is dangerous because it does exactly what you tell it to. It is not bound by the physical limitations that are inherent in a cheap drill, and neither is it limited by safety interlocks that might be built into a homeowner's product by a liability-conscious manufacturer. The danger lies not in the machine itself but in the user's failure to envision the full cons
mircea_popescu: A smaller tool is dangerous too, but for a completely different reason: it tries to do what you tell it to, and fails in some way that is unpredictable and almost always undesirable. But the Hole Hawg is like the genie of the ancient fairy tales, who carries out his master's instructions literally and precisely and with unlimited power, often with disastrous, unforeseen consequences.
mircea_popescu: but yes, unix is possibly the last os the user was genuinely terrified of.
phf: for interested parties, i have a modified version of vdiff.
http://paste.lisp.org/display/318813 (this one is mac specific, so if your shasum is different command you need to patch that, otherwise it should be portable)
phf: of the two changes, it makes sure to close the cmd, which is a bug on bsd awks (or rather a defense against permissive gnu awk) the descriptors are kept open for each of the cmd's eventually running into open file limit
phf: and the other one, and main reason for posting, is that you can use it in a pipe. like diff -uNr a b | vdiff to vdiffy-y any regular patch
phf: which is handy if you're using something else to produce the patch, or if you need to use a non-trivial diff command. for example i sometimes need to exclude files from diffing, so a command might look like diff -x foo -x bar -x qux -ruN a b | grep -v '^Binary files ' | vdiff > foo.vpatch

thestringpuller: of course the cost of that is your life. sometimes a prisoner would rather have dick up butt than shiv in kidney.
a111: Logged on 2016-02-16 16:51 mircea_popescu: this is patriotism, in perhaps an extreme degree.

BingoBoingo: What, it isn't like GPS satellites broadcast with 10,000 screaming hot watts of power.
trinque: the thing has to be emergency landed if GPS is lost?
mircea_popescu: the days of gsm style gps "whatever stronger source wins" are done with the 90s
trinque does a deedbot deploy for whitespace trimming around commands
mircea_popescu: in other news, apparently the uk is looking at legal options to implement a recursive splitting from the eu and subsequently drain all euros.
deedbot: Framedragger voiced for 30 minutes.
deedbot: fromphuctor voiced for 30 minutes.
mircea_popescu: all the butthurt people, oh noes. what shall we ever do!
jurov: Framedragger: if you already openpgp'd the keys, feeding them to phuctor via
http is trivial
jurov: i suspect alf won't do it himself because reasons
jurov: "it's not fit for that purpose" or such
jurov: or i misread the discussion?
trinque: asciilifeform said he *would* feed them in.
a111: Logged on 2016-06-16 15:41 asciilifeform: this incidentally is why phuctor had been a depressing thing for me. the thing i set out to find, i never found (evidence of diddled rng on pgp users' boxes.)
a111: Logged on 2016-06-17 20:43 asciilifeform: Framedragger: if you send me a tarball, they'll go in wholesale.
trinque: "I suspect because tmsr is being lax about read-the-logs beatings."
a111: Logged on 2016-06-16 15:24 asciilifeform: understand, if i were to switch phuctor to storing IN this format, NO key it spits out will ever be eatable by gpg.

mircea_popescu: i hope he lives off belly button lint, because any sort of social order in which this fuck is not starving is ipso facto broken
jurov: asciilifeform: so I ought to, too?
mircea_popescu: someone needs to tell mcafee that buying $5 worth of articles on craigslist results in $0 worth of verbiage.
mircea_popescu: jurov if you dun feel like it, give it a little and Framedragger will make his thing a thing.
mircea_popescu: we'll need a convertor anyway, the problem of non-compliant rsa implementation isn't going to go away suddenyl.
jurov: i already explained I have no problem to convert, just that it will balloon the data up
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform this is Framedragger 's set (servers) or jurov 's set (github, cliuents) ?
mircea_popescu: recall, jurov parsed all of github, produced a pile of keys and the convertor code
☟︎ mircea_popescu: anyway, normally i'd have just let you do the conversion locally, but since Framedragger is such an impetuous youth, we're moving fast for once :D
☟︎ mircea_popescu: jurov is it practical to just "do the same thing as Framedragger " ?

a111: Logged on 2016-06-20 18:23 phf: i'm about to provision another machine based on asciilifeform's gentoo depotatoing, but i really wish tmsr had a better official distro
mircea_popescu: the path to bitcoinfs intersects a tmsr-os/loper-os/whatever-we-end-up-calling-it-os, just...
mircea_popescu: if it is linux, it probably is more like debian sarge or gentoo whatever from 2003 than anything visible in the wild. fuck, it probably should be more like ibm-dos really.
a111: Logged on 2016-06-20 18:33 Framedragger: re gentoo etc: what of e.g. freebsd, a very nice distro with a monolithic kernel+libc, good documentation, maintenance etc
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform we have the power to standardize the iron, maybe, through the process of selection.
a111: Logged on 2016-06-20 18:34 asciilifeform: Framedragger: freebsd fell to rot long ago
a111: Logged on 2016-06-20 18:35 Framedragger: these abstract rebuttals always confuse me
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform seems altogether improbable that as of today the turdmarket is the driver of anything.
mircea_popescu: i have doubts, as an anthropologist i mean, that this was EVER actually the case. it seems altogether plausible that the ~idea~ of turdmarket driving things was perceived as "likely to occur" in general and perhaps circumstantially occuring in some spots, but the trends are separating not joining
mircea_popescu: take modems. who buys them ? telcos. take say smartphones. who buys them ? corporations. literally, not just because they "issue" the drones one, but because they decide which is the "in" one to have.
mircea_popescu: so the drones "make the decision" to "buy" one with "their" "money" aka corp scrip on loan from the corp.
mircea_popescu: but anyway, this is not terribly related. "whether it's a collie or a terrier it still bit me"
mircea_popescu: yeah but see, did pharoh buy one pyramid or 100`000 chunks of cut stone.
mircea_popescu: maybe he could be kim jong up from now on. and he could have a son and name him kim dong down

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yeah. i just meant the vidcard gnarl could maybe be excised in a politically defensible manner. historically it was ~60 to 70% of all the mess.
trinque: asciilifeform: does ppc have the mysterymeat cores?
a111: Logged on 2016-06-20 18:49 phf: Framedragger: despite the rhetoric people here are extremely pragmatic. but when you think about these things there's no reason to allow sloppy thinking. the question is "how much of a dick up your ass is too much dick", and the healthy answer is "none at all". llvm is good technology (it gives you same kind of layering that a decent common lisp compiler does, but for languages that are not used to that kind of richnes

trinque will not fall back to abacus until tmsr-fpga exists
phf: i honestly though thestringpuller was just being tongue-in-cheek :o
mircea_popescu: yeah, discussion may well continue, but it does altogether not seem likely there's going to be a "chosen respirator"
phf: mircea_popescu: hmm, i'm not groking that "casa ..." thing
mircea_popescu: phf "a house enough to sit in and land as far as your eye can see"
phf: right, i mean i'm being dense as far as how that maps to the mini rant
mircea_popescu: well, it seems to me to be a very apt summary of the type of pragmatism prevalent here. a sort of "keep horizon maximally open" flavour of pragmatism
mircea_popescu: very different (in the sense of being opposite) to pragmatism as a current in anglosaxon thought. which is more like, "keep all doors and windows shut and only open something once you're sure there's nothing there".
mircea_popescu: the false etymology to roman lat vir is particularly endearing.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yeah, they "didn't know" which is how romania went from an agrarian economy in 1935 to the world's petroengineering superpwoer in 1965.

Bugpowder: Not sure about streaming to to wherever you are, but the HD video is pretty amazing.
mircea_popescu: in other lulz, romanian redditards found out that mp was also born there, think that "hey, wtf, i don;'t think it can be him. if it were he would be starting a revolution"
Bugpowder: Wind blowing it up mountains not down tho so OK for now…
Bugpowder: Hmm… Now 4 fires started in the last 3 hours in LA… Arson?
