spyked: window with the box or whatever. that C is the set through which you intentionally make your OS a non-general-purpose item.
spyked: then moving from this approach you can systematically eliminate e.g. "pdf library" or e.g. "udev" or e.g. "protected mode" or everything else that is not *needed* for the system, not just userland (if there should be anything such as "a userland" at all in there) ☟︎

mod6: Was that heavy-wet snow, very difficult to manage without blower/plow.
mircea_popescu: phf, there's been this ancient grudge between "mysql people" and "php people" in the following sense : in the 90s, the "foss community" consisted of a sad indeology-lite republic that still had enough people to get shit done. they needed an egine for their "revolution" which was to be centered around "the web", a shoddy, ill conceived can of mostly "make it easy for people to participate AND IT WILL TAKE OVER THE WORLD [of pe

ascii_lander is prolly the least in-shape d00d in this whole city atm

mod6: Of course, we have other tasks such as re-doing wallet, how we dump all keys from wallet, and others. Just thought I'd venture in and see what was what.
ascii_lander: mod6: i tried to do this at one point, ended up burning it all in disgust, and wrote shiva ( which then i sadly abandoned for reasons amply discussed in log )
mod6: aha.
mircea_popescu: mod6, i could have saved you the time, i guess, but then again IF you publish a detailed discussion then we have that.
mod6: Just sayin', wasn't waste of time for me to do it, just thought I'd report my findings.
mircea_popescu: understand the important point here : such marches in the desert are ONLY useful if well documented.
mircea_popescu: if you just keep the results in your skull, it's better to not go.
ascii_lander: mod6: it really doesn't hurt to 'piss on the electric fence yourself' and see what i meant.
ascii_lander: so not wasted time.
ascii_lander: but mircea_popescu is entirely right, gotta document
mod6: fair enough.
mod6: bbs.
mircea_popescu: and more generally : there's two kinds of sallies a gentleman may engage in. the one is where he comes back with a boatload of gold/tomatoes/whatever. the other is where he comes bacl with a well written tale of his travels.
mircea_popescu: the one where he has a lot of fun / sees a lot of things / is all impressed / tastes all the tomatoes IS NOT useful.
mircea_popescu: so, if your desert march results in a jewel of code, a la ffa, sure. if your desert march results in ample "lulz" as we call them, ie, intricate, unforgiving documentation of orcs' idiocy, sure.
mircea_popescu: but those are the two and the only two ways to bring back loot for your trouble.
ascii_lander was just nao having a quite mircea_popescuine 'as above, so below' thought : in usa, hotel maids are invariably bags, in ~every~ orcistan -- pretty gurlz

mircea_popescu: leisure is a precondition for the many aspect of civilisation whereby woman sits on ass all day yakking annoyingly.
ascii_lander: depends whose leisure, neh
mircea_popescu: which is generally what is meant by "africa", also.
mircea_popescu: ascii_lander, there has yet not existed such a system where the top wasn't leisurely. the "leisure / no leisure" discussion contrasts "leisure for all" with "leisure for some"
ascii_lander: 'for all' is a lolscam
mircea_popescu: it's the "tourism" "modern democracy" etc idiocy.
mircea_popescu: "tourism" you know. as if that fucking counts as travel. "totally not brownstone tenement sir" british houses consisting of 1.7 sq ft of garden in front, and "bbq space" behind.
mircea_popescu: and so following.
ascii_lander: speaking of 'for all', i saw (on 2 consec. days!) a sight that must be seen to be believed : 500+ gurlz standing in line. for what? for 'starbucks'

mircea_popescu: as a matter of fact, there's no design in cave rooms : you will dig where the soil [read: resistence of the medium] permits you to dig, and that is all.
ascii_lander: mircea_popescu: 1 problem with 'modern' industry is that virtually every design includes elements of 'hack old cars that were ~given~ into new motorcycle'
mircea_popescu: buildings, however, are a very opposite attempt : the dismal resistance of air (and see also un prophete discussion of winds here) and the minimal and well understood constraint of gravity allow enough free space for design to be a thing. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: ascii_lander, this is not a problem with modern industry as much as it's a problem with the EXTREME cognitive cost of design.

danielpbarron: i still like them. wasn't trying to do harm with the post. it was my intention to move on after that season, just didn't think it'd get cut short is all
spyked: in fact 90% of blogpost was purely a discussion on terminology. eliminate "general purpose os" from head and you're left only with means to create a sane system.
danielpbarron: lemme know when's a good time to do the atruechurch Q&A
mircea_popescu: spyked, i don't see how this distinction works. what does "eliminate word from vocabulary" even mean, you'll take out some classes/dependencies/whatever out of a pile of lines of code, leaving a them-shaped hole behind.
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron, indeed. hey, purity is a great boon for blogging.
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron, now'd be great.
mircea_popescu: spyked, i disagree general purpose os is actually a null concept, or a useless one.
mircea_popescu: the best example i can think of is the code on the old handheld calculators. THAT is a general purpose os : it makes no assumption about the downstream, merely fully, cleanly and directly exposes the hardware. ☟︎☟︎
mircea_popescu: then they moved to a non-general purpose os, and alf threw a fit because the thing took time to boot or w/e.
zx2c4: mircea_popescu: could you elaborate your argument on why you think the 0 response is different from the 16, 32, 48, etc response? spare me the hand-wavy "its always an invariant!" arguments. can you give some real security analysis of what you have in mind? am willing to take your concern seriously if theres a good case for it
mircea_popescu: i suppose at work might be a confusion between what-some-idiots-might-be-thinking-retroconstructed-on-the-flimsy-basis-of-how-they-behave, where "general purpose os" means "the sprinkle of magic turning the computer from a computer to anything i want it to be, which is to say a tool that magicvally works for any purpose i might come up with, especially the nonsensical and self-contradictory ones".
mircea_popescu: whereas the proper definition of "general purpose" is the one mentioned, "which makes no assumptions about the userland". ☟︎
zx2c4: these are broad and hand-wavy. im trying to find some real meat here to analyse
mircea_popescu: zx2c4, yes.
mircea_popescu: if i have a message, which is not null, i can package that message in any string of any arbitrary sized chunklets. so your observing 8+16+24+8+8 does not tell you whether you observed 5 null messages, or a 64 message, or 4 16s, or anything else.
mircea_popescu: multiple things sum to any integer larger than 0.
danielpbarron: !!up Darwin_Fish
deedbot: Darwin_Fish voiced for 30 minutes.
mircea_popescu: NOTHING however sums to 0, not in reality, becasuse there's no negative integers in reality.
mircea_popescu: zx2c4, does that work ?
mircea_popescu: hi there Darwin_Fish
Darwin_Fish: hello
mircea_popescu: ever been on irc before ?
Darwin_Fish: no
Darwin_Fish: never done much online like this
mircea_popescu: do you know about rsa and cryptography and so on ?
Darwin_Fish: a little from daniel
mircea_popescu: i'll propose something to you : inasmuch as one is in a better position understanding god for god, rather than understanding god for what some guy said, cryptography is the most direct path to divinity.
Darwin_Fish: i didn't know cryptography was a religion
zx2c4: mircea_popescu: im trying to apply what you said to IP
mircea_popescu: but we're discussing theology not religion. cryptography is eminently not a religion. in fact, i'm the frirst one to have ever said anything remotely like the foregoing, and it's giving crypto people hives just reading it.
mircea_popescu: zx2c4, go ahead.
Darwin_Fish: what's the difference between theology and religion?
mircea_popescu: Darwin_Fish, you ever heard that quip, that "in theory, there's no difference between theory and practice ; in practice, there is" ? "theologically, there's no difference between theology and religion. but religiously..."
Darwin_Fish: sorry, don't follow the logic. If there is no difference, what's the difference.
Darwin_Fish: ?
mircea_popescu: well, have you ever met a religious dude who didn't SAY, and broadly think, they're following god ?
mircea_popescu: they all say it. but do they really ? so what's the difference!
Darwin_Fish: I consider an atheist religious. But, of course there are plenty of people who say and don't do
mircea_popescu: right.
Darwin_Fish: By the way, God doesn't believe in atheists
mircea_popescu: hehe, i might've read that somewhere.
Darwin_Fish: Romans 1:18-32
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron, how did that work,
zx2c4: mircea_popescu: let's take a protocol that just encrypts ip packets and nothing more. traffic analysis of the size of packets gives you something, especially in the case of TCP where there are necessary types of responses at various points. but i suppose you want me to consider "general purpose cases". so im thinking about a raw UDP protocol. in this case, it might be that at the end of an exchange, one side has nothing more to say, and so it says
zx2c4: nothing. alternatively, it sends a bunch of garbage data at random points to trip up traffic analysis. now introduce the wireguard final-confirmation keepalive. one side has nothing more to say, yet it just now received a message from the other side. rather than sending nothing, wireguard now sends a single length 0 message. after that, both sides are entirely silent. what does the sending of that length 0 message reveal that sending nothing would
zx2c4: not reveal?
danielpbarron: !~bible rom 1:18-32

mircea_popescu: shinohai, one line only!!1
mircea_popescu: zx2c4, but the option isn't exactly "send nothing or send 0 length message". the option is "send nothing / zero length message OR send the time".
zx2c4: the time?
Darwin_Fish: For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, (Rom 1:20 NKJ)
mircea_popescu: Darwin_Fish, anyway, theology is the study of divinity as a theoretical possibility ; religion is the study of historical human practice. the catholics resolve this problem by claiming (falsely) that they were specifically promised god will preserve their religion in theology. this claim has all the strength of their claim constantine deeded them the world.
mircea_popescu: zx2c4, some random 8 byte string or whatever.
Darwin_Fish: I ok, I understand your distinction now
Darwin_Fish: I often refer to religion as you described it
mircea_popescu: Darwin_Fish, good. so what would you say is the fundamental thing in children that eventually, but necessarily, leads them to at the very least question the possibility of divinity, if not outright seek it ?
Darwin_Fish: That was the true Light which gives light to every man coming into the world. (Joh 1:9 NKJ)
mircea_popescu: yes, but i mean in practical terms.
Darwin_Fish: God makes Himself known to every human on the planet
Darwin_Fish: in their hearts
Darwin_Fish: You don't have to have a Bible
mircea_popescu: yes. but i propose to you the instrument thereby is the infantile tendency to question "why ?". that's what they fucking do, all day long, at least the brighter ones.
Darwin_Fish: to know some of the concepts therein
mircea_popescu: eventually they give up, mostly because adults are TERRIBLE at answering why ; and also because they get distraught, and the children dun wanna bother them. so it gets rubbed out.
mircea_popescu: nevertheless... without the why...
Darwin_Fish: oh yes, God has made children inquisitive
trinque: "knock and the door shall be opened" eh?
trinque dusts off the cobwebs in that wing of his skull
mircea_popescu: Darwin_Fish, and that is the substance of my proposition earlier. there is no place known to me where the most refined and annoying whys can be stated quite like in this field.
zx2c4: mircea_popescu: if what you mean is rather than sending an empty packet, i should instead rand(20,200) zero bytes encrypted, then i wonder what this would accomplish. the other side now receives this. if it's a keepalive message (which it knows after decryption), then it goes silent. if it's not, then it either responds with whatever is appropriate to respond to that, or if it has nothing to say, it would have to send a keepalive too. in
zx2c4: otherwords, an attacker still knows that the protocol has gone silent, because one side will stop responding. it sounds to me like what you would prefer is for both sides always to be talking and chatting -- always, and with garbage when not with real data -- to trip of traffic analysis. that's a legitimate desire, and there are many other additional things can add to protocols to further trip up traffic analysis. wireguard distinctly isn't focused
zx2c4: on that, instead preferring to be "stealthy" and "silent" when not in use. this naturally reveals when communications happen, but it also makes the endpoints undiscoverable when theyre not talking. also, it'd be easy to build that kind of 'always chatting' logic into whatever specific application you need to conceal. or, alternatively, simply write an additional utility that sits on top of wireguard that sends junk back and forth at quasi random
zx2c4: intervals relative to the amount of existing traffic. i wouldnt be surprised if something like this already exists.
mircea_popescu: WHY the fuck does rsa even work >:
mircea_popescu: zx2c4, i don't mean random (20,200). i just mean, the size of your smallest non-zero packet. was it 8 or what was it ?
Darwin_Fish: It takes patience to answer why repeatedly. It also takes understanding, which most people don't have
mircea_popescu: zx2c4, so is your idea that basically this should be handled by the app importing your lib, rather than the lib itself, more flexibility this way ?
Darwin_Fish: Because, if you keep asking why, it always leads to God
mircea_popescu: Darwin_Fish, quite, "why ?" is an escalator, every successive why needs exponentially more resources to answer.
Darwin_Fish: Correct
Darwin_Fish: That's why it always leads to God
zx2c4: mircea_popescu: re:rand(20,200) - sorry. random number of bytes is all i was going for. (an ip header is 20 bytes, so you'd probably want to bound it at that. and 200 seems like a reasonable cut off. but of course we could keep engineering and designing that sort of thing and come up with different numbers.)
Darwin_Fish: He is the answer to every why
Darwin_Fish: For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. (Col 1:16 NKJ)
mircea_popescu: Darwin_Fish, check it out, agreement and harmony. now satisfy my curiosity : what happened with al soto ?
Darwin_Fish: upholding all things by the word of His power, (Heb 1:3 NKJ)
mircea_popescu: zx2c4, honestly, i'm satisfied with this for an answer "look, wireguard can be used many ways, nothing wrong with your way, and it's supported, but in general other people want other things and so there it is".
zx2c4: mircea_popescu: wireguard isnt a library. its a virtual network interface that tunnels ip packets. what im pointing out is that your suggestion implies that both sides must _keep_ talking always, since thats the only way to obscure termination messages.
Darwin_Fish: For of Him and through Him and to Him are all things, to whom be glory forever. (Rom 11:36 NKJ)
mircea_popescu: zx2c4, yeah. have you seen anything re gossipd, ~speaking the tmsr-wireguard ?
Darwin_Fish: But now I have written to you not to keep company with anyone named a brother, who is sexually immoral, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or an extortioner-- not even to eat with such a person. (1Co 5:11 NKJ)
Darwin_Fish: He was a covetous man
zx2c4: mircea_popescu: and i think having that kind of thing always on -- constant chattiness -- would be a security step backwards, since it'd give up stealthiness. but of course if you still wanted it for a special use case, there's nothing in wireguard preventing you from having it pretty easily
mircea_popescu: Darwin_Fish, that doesn't tell me much, does it ?
zx2c4: (or even general purpose utilities that could ostensibly work over any link)
mircea_popescu: zx2c4, aha.
zx2c4: tmsr? gossipd?
Darwin_Fish: He couldn't stop spending money he shouldn't be spending (i.e. creating debt)
Darwin_Fish: Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. (Heb 13:5 NKJ)
mircea_popescu: zx2c4, tmsr, the most serene republic, this thing. gossipd, lessee.... there's http://trilema.com/2016/gossipd-design-document/ and http://btcbase.org/log-search?q=gossipd and not much else. it's vaporware for now.
Darwin_Fish: Owe no one anything except to love one another, (Rom 13:8 NKJ)
zx2c4: oh, the most serene acronym, shoulda known
mircea_popescu: Darwin_Fish, so basically he ran up the church / your ccs, and eventually it had to come to an end ?
Darwin_Fish: No, he was spending his money
Darwin_Fish: but creating debt, at least in his own mind
mircea_popescu: zx2c4, the idea being that the "wtf are you going to do, keep talking forever with anyone you ever talk to ?! morons!" problem is not unknown, but a major item giving me a bellyache as it stands now. invariants, god damn them all.
mircea_popescu: Darwin_Fish, how does that work though ? i mean...
Darwin_Fish: He thought he was going to owe the gov thousands of dollars
Darwin_Fish: but kept spending money
Darwin_Fish: thus "creating" debt to the gov
mircea_popescu: but how do you know what he thought ? "the devil himself knows not the tought of man" etc.
Darwin_Fish: he told us
zx2c4: mircea_popescu: the more interesting approach to foiling that kind of traffic analysis is the general topic of mixnets
mircea_popescu: zx2c4, i suspect you're right.
zx2c4: always swirling data around, so not only do you not know who's talking when, but you don't know who's talking to whom
Darwin_Fish: He knew about it for months
mircea_popescu: Darwin_Fish, maybe he was confused.
Darwin_Fish: He was actually incorrect
Darwin_Fish: He actually didn't end up owing anything, so he said later
mircea_popescu: Darwin_Fish, isn't it silly, to ruin a long standing relationship like that, over what was in the end a small error ?
Darwin_Fish: I had hoped to bring him back in the church, but now he hates my guts
Darwin_Fish: He faults me for being involved in the Ron Paul movement
Darwin_Fish: Which fault I agree with, in part
zx2c4: > For a functional example consider node A, whose "encryption" mechanism consists of sha256(string+"hurr"), and node B, whose encryption mechanism consists of sha256("durr"+string.).
zx2c4: sha256 isnt an encryption function. also beware this construction, especially the second one where the string comes last -- length extension is a problem with sha2
mircea_popescu: Darwin_Fish, tell me about that ?
zx2c4: (quoted from your link)
mircea_popescu: zx2c4, was just an example.
mircea_popescu: !!up Darwin_Fish
deedbot: Darwin_Fish voiced for 30 minutes.
mircea_popescu: zx2c4, given like that for the sake of ready computability, see. nothing more.
Darwin_Fish: Ron Paul believes prostitution should be legal. I turned a blind eye to that, but I should not have
zx2c4: ah
mircea_popescu: Darwin_Fish, prostitution is legal here (costa rica). are they all going to hell ?
zx2c4: mircea_popescu: im curious -- why are you so bent on RSA? ECC has been around for quite some time now and has numerous advantages
Darwin_Fish: at least in my own conscience
Darwin_Fish: I would not condemn someone else it
mircea_popescu: zx2c4, i don't buy into the advantages.
Darwin_Fish: for it
mircea_popescu: Darwin_Fish, what is the problem with prostitution ?
Darwin_Fish: Everyone who practices prostitution and does not repent, yes
mircea_popescu: the whores ~and~ the johns ?
Darwin_Fish: Do not prostitute your daughter, to cause her to be a harlot, lest the land fall into harlotry, and the land become full of wickedness. (Lev 19:29 NKJ)
zx2c4: all of them? some of the advantages are indisputable like key size and computation speed and implementation ease. im guessing you dont believe there's a security advantage over RSA? you're not soothed by the fact that many attacks against RSA dont work with ECC? okay, but that still doesn't discredit the indisputable advantages. so then maybe your position is that ECC has _weaker_ security than RSA for various reasons? that'd be a more interesting
zx2c4: claim, if that's the one you're implying
Darwin_Fish: Yes, But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death." (Rev 21:8 NKJ)
mircea_popescu: zx2c4, no, they're fucking disputable. you're going to tell me you get "the same thing" but "with a smaller key" ? i'm tuning out, this is nonsense.
Darwin_Fish: That is sexual immorality
mircea_popescu: zx2c4, the only thing you can get with a smaller key is "something just as good", in the sense mcdonalds is just as good as the restaurant i go to. perhaps it is -- for the poor. i'm not poor, nor do i orient my life around the needs of the needy.
Darwin_Fish: God makes the rules.
mircea_popescu: Darwin_Fish, but is it immoral for both the harlot and the guy paying her ?
Darwin_Fish: Yes
mircea_popescu: but... listen. isn't this the whole entire proposition of manhood, both biologically and socio-historically, "go ye and make a pile of resources so females may be attracted thereby" ?
mircea_popescu: and not just human manhood, at that, ~all species.
Darwin_Fish: Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them members of a harlot? Certainly not!
Darwin_Fish: 16 Or do you not know that he who is joined to a harlot is one body with her? For "the two," He says, "shall become one flesh."
Darwin_Fish: 17 But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit with Him.
Darwin_Fish: 18 Flee sexual immorality. (1Co 6:15-18 NKJ)
zx2c4: mircea_popescu: the keys in ECC are smaller. if your position is that this cant possibly mean it's more secure than RSA, then i suppose the actual claim you're making is that 'ECC with ECC-sized keys is less secure than RSA with RSA-sized keys'. what's the basis for this?
mircea_popescu: zx2c4, i proposition that the smaller the key, the smaller the key. this can't be meaningless.
Darwin_Fish: Not sure if I understand your question
Darwin_Fish: sorry
mircea_popescu: my budget for a key happens to be 4096 bits. it makes 0 difference to me that there's a cheaper provider offering 16 bit keys. everyone offering a key under 4096 bits is par for this test.
mircea_popescu: Darwin_Fish, well, which part of it ?
Darwin_Fish: If I understand your question, the answer is no. This is God's purpose: And He has made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth, and has determined their preappointed times and the boundaries of their dwellings,
Darwin_Fish: 27 "so that they should seek the Lord, in the hope that they might grope for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us;
Darwin_Fish: 28 "for in Him we live and move and have our being, (Act 17:26-28 NKJ)
mircea_popescu: zx2c4, and the "that many attacks against RSA dont work with ECC" claim is especially odious, as it comes from a single source, which is a criminal org with a history of manipulatively lying. what happens is that usg publishes every ~useless "attack" on rsa and withholds the few ~working~ attacks on ecc from publishing. then you get this situation where seemingly, for the very naive surface-seekers, "ecc has advantages". it h
mircea_popescu: as no advantage.
mircea_popescu: Darwin_Fish, is not man made for work ?
Darwin_Fish: Word is part of the curse, Gen 3
Darwin_Fish: Work
mircea_popescu: so work is a curse, and not substantial to mankind ?
Darwin_Fish: Cursed is the ground for your sake; In toil you shall eat of it All the days of your life.
Darwin_Fish: 18 Both thorns and thistles it shall bring forth for you, And you shall eat the herb of the field.
Darwin_Fish: 19 In the sweat of your face you shall eat bread Till you return to the ground, For out of it you were taken; For dust you are, And to dust you shall return."
Darwin_Fish: (Gen 3:17-19 NKJ)
zx2c4: mircea_popescu: ahh that ignorant and antiquated notion, that "key size implies security size". or do you think there will be some amazing GNFS-like algorithms that come out for ECC, requiring ECC to use absurdly huge keys in the same way as RSA?
Darwin_Fish: God uses our work to bless us
mircea_popescu: zx2c4, looky, i get that i may seem retarded at times and in some lights, but it's not a safe assumption.
Darwin_Fish: He who has a slack hand becomes poor, But the hand of the diligent makes rich. (Pro 10:4 NKJ)
mircea_popescu: the algos for ecc will ~never come out, until the day i water my horse out of the repurposed washington monument, of course.
zx2c4: mircea_popescu: i take it now that mostly you're skeptical because the nsa was pushing ecc in the early years, before everyone else woke up to it ☟︎
mircea_popescu: what is this "absurdly" large ? why is 4096 even large at all ?
mircea_popescu: zx2c4, i am very skeptical because rsa they hated and ecc they pushed and then suddenly everyone forgot the 90s and is all onboard.
mircea_popescu: how T?HE FUCK can you even look at anything nsa says other than "this is what the liars are pushing these days" ? hm ?
Darwin_Fish: The rich and the poor have this in common, The LORD is the maker of them all. (Pro 22:2 NKJ)
zx2c4: i think cloudflare has an ELI5 article from a few years back about "what all the key sizes doth mean"
zx2c4: lemme see if im remembering correctly...
mircea_popescu: Darwin_Fish, so you don't believe there's a sexual motivation in work ?
zx2c4: mircea_popescu: https://blog.cloudflare.com/why-are-some-keys-small/ here we go
mircea_popescu: oh, cloudflare!
mircea_popescu: zx2c4, look, think of a number between 0 and 2, 0 and 2 exclusive. have you ? here i go, ima guess it! you thought of 1!
mircea_popescu: wtf, i have to explain why short keys are shorter than longer keys ?
Darwin_Fish: The person who labors, labors for himself, For his hungry mouth drives him on. (Pro 16:26 NKJ)
mircea_popescu: the hungry mouth of the wife and the wails of starving children notwithstanding ?
Darwin_Fish: No, a man can certainly be motivated by that
mircea_popescu: zx2c4, understand, the expectation here isn't "longer, therefore better". the situation is as described above, my key budget is 4096 bits, both ecc and rsa are ok by this measure.
mircea_popescu: Darwin_Fish, but is this motivation evil ?
Darwin_Fish: No
Darwin_Fish: the sexual drive is not evil
mircea_popescu: so it is not evil for man to work so that a woman can eat ?
Darwin_Fish: of course not
zx2c4: mircea_popescu: so from your mention of "criminal org" it seems to me that your concern is not so much the mathematical issues that are discussed in the literature, but rather a particular history that to you indicates there must be secret attacks that only the select few geniuses at the nsa know about, and everybody pushing ecc is either in on the conspiracy or just dumber than the nsa geniuses. i guess you're entitled to this opinion -- what's
zx2c4: one man's hunch vs another man's? but there has been a lot a lot a lot of open academic analysis on ecc for many years now and this alleged smoking gun still has not been found. so, meh.
mircea_popescu: Darwin_Fish, so then what's the problem with whoredom. that they came up with their own arrangement, rather than using a wedding ?
mircea_popescu: zx2c4, my concern is that the literature is entirely worthless.
zx2c4: then crypto is doomed?
Darwin_Fish: God says it's evil. That's all it ever comes down to
mircea_popescu: which is possibly the one point where we mostly diverge in our priors, you look upon published extant cryptology as some kind of a scientific discipline, whereas to me it's ~gender studies for numbers.
mircea_popescu: zx2c4, not doomed as long as the republic stands.
Darwin_Fish: When you are discussing something being evil, it's always because God says so
Darwin_Fish: Otherwise, there is no morality whatsoever
mircea_popescu: Darwin_Fish, there's no deductive component in establishing what is evil ?
Darwin_Fish: Nothing other than God declaring it is so
mircea_popescu: Darwin_Fish, but your source for what god declared is a book which a guy wrote and some other guys maybe didn't alter (too much).
Darwin_Fish: There is no absolute on morality accept God Himself
Darwin_Fish: It was written by about 40 men
Darwin_Fish: Via the Jews
mircea_popescu: right.
mircea_popescu: Darwin_Fish, i wonder, are you willing to read a story i wrote tell me what you think ?
Darwin_Fish: Sure
mircea_popescu: it's not terribly long.
zx2c4: if secret government scientists are lightyears ahead of "entirely worthless" academics, and they have secret attacks on everything academia is currently okay with, then i guess it's game over, and we have to wait until we're at a ripe old age to read the history books on the secret mathematics of our present age. i dont really share this point of view though. and even aside from the factual validity of it, it doesn't seem like a psychologically
zx2c4: healthy assumption to live by. so again, my response to that kind of thing is, "meh"
mircea_popescu: Darwin_Fish, http://trilema.com/2015/the-rabbi-and-the-ewe/
mircea_popescu: zx2c4, they have no pill for rsa ; which is why the ecc behaviour.
mircea_popescu: we're ok. the various fashionable webtards, i guess not so much.
mircea_popescu: but then again, we're worth trillions, whereas webtards... not so much.
mircea_popescu: which, if you think about it, explains the homeostasis observed quite well.
zx2c4: your guess about secret government conspiracies is as good as mine? some people think they are vast; others think they are small. some think ecc; others think rsa; some think jfk; others think apollo. ...
mircea_popescu: right.

mircea_popescu: afaik trb comes cli only ; you can add a gui but a) you'd have to write it and b) it'd necessarily introduce dependencies.
nodehelp: ok, i'm not confortable with cli but if is the price required i'm in
mircea_popescu: consider also that especioally b is problematic as trb isn';t ~really~ intended to be used in a home environment ; and racked servers may not provide your video whatever.
mircea_popescu: nodehelp, here's something to explain to you why cli wins and it's worth your time to spend the time on it : http://trilema.com/2015/what-amused-me-today/
mircea_popescu: there's a very clear difference between those who talk to webserver via curl and those who use browser.
nodehelp: but if is not intended, what i should use on my laptop to use bitcoin in a non bloated way?

nodehelp: is there a distro where trb generally 100% works on the first time?
trinque: douchebag: don't misunderstand it for interest
mircea_popescu: nodehelp, pretty much everything it was tired on, from ubuntu to old debian.
mircea_popescu: tried*
douchebag: I'm thinking more of entertainment value
nodehelp: what version of debian?
ben_vulpes: douchebag: go, entertain
mircea_popescu: i had it working on sarge, which is why "old debian", not that i expect you can find one.
mircea_popescu: but really, i don't know of a linux it doesn't work on, so if you find it say.
nodehelp: i've gcc 6 on this debian 9, i see on the instruction that gcc 4.x is needed
ben_vulpes: nodehelp: it builds in its own tiny linux environment, 'buildroot', you might be missing one of the few tools necessary to get/verify/build buildroot itself on a gentoo or an ubuntu but probably not
ben_vulpes: nodehelp: pick one and go for it, report results here for great glory
mircea_popescu: nodehelp, what ben_vulpes said ; it doesn't use the system much.
ben_vulpes: also register a nick and key so that glory can properly accrue
nodehelp: that's ok that the system isn't touched, but on thebitcoin.foundation site is specified to use a 4.x of gcc g++, can i ask if there is an easy way to downgrade gcc 6 to 4?
ben_vulpes: nodehelp: nope
nodehelp: or it's easier to install an older distro?
trinque: the build process itself does that.
Darwin_Fish: If that is all, I will be leaving. Thanks for the discourse.
ben_vulpes: "application binary interface" changed radically during that time, but it won't bother you because buildroot has its own gcc
ben_vulpes: yeah what trinque said

danielpbarron: yep
mircea_popescu: yeah me too.
trinque: douchebag: thing works, do not ping me for tech support for impatient crackheads.
douchebag: I was just wondering because for CindyB it at least gives a proper gpg message to decrypt
mircea_popescu: trinque, i can imagine what it's like for him at the other end though, lol.
trinque: sure, and he did that
mircea_popescu: he may also have a point, seeing how they're both in the same situation, and it behaves differently.
trinque: so then I go find out what she fucked up about her key, and so on.
mircea_popescu: have you been through a few passes of this i take it ? :D
mircea_popescu: anyway, if it accepted the reg...
trinque: might as well say now, the next cunt that pm's me over this is getting a week added to her withdrawal
mircea_popescu: tsk tsk.
mircea_popescu: trinque, should i turn it off ? too much load ?
trinque: nah, the actual withdrawals are one more boop of a qr gun.
douchebag: I know, I haven't had any girls pm you since you told me to last time. I just figured I would mention that the bot was behaving strangely for her incase that was an issue you'd be interested in
mircea_popescu: douchebag, i hear somebody fucked his server while he was setting up raids and stuff. so let's all go have an ice slush smoothie and unroll the log back to theology.
douchebag: Understood
mircea_popescu: aand in today's cogitations, "all machines are milling machines -- some self-milling, some not entirely". ☟︎
trinque: danielpbarron: you go to Darwin_Fish's church? doesn't seem like a half-bad guy.
trinque: pretty great name for a pastor though. ☟︎
trinque: if usglandia were populated with these christians rather than the others, it'd be *far* more tolerable. I've always gotten along with them, because the skull contents tend to be orderly, even if they originate at "because the book"
mircea_popescu: trinque, "go to church" doesn't begin to describe it. here's the story as condensed by intel : ☟︎
mircea_popescu: 1. there's a large, seinfeld-style (why did that guy make a bn ? was it because he was funny, sigma funny != sigma money ? or was it becauyse he put all his effort into powerwashing any "controversial" anything from everything about him, sigma pantsuit ~= sigma money ?) church in socal ("grace community church"), like ten thousand others all over the us ("new religion revival or w/e the fuck, protestand heresysnake eating its
mircea_popescu: tail forever).
mircea_popescu: 2. this item went through 4-year leadership until announted the current head (a certain macarthur fellow). he was 30ish at the time (and is 80ish now).
mircea_popescu: 3. darwin fish spent a decade, up until macarthur was ~50, in that church (after some other wrangling, mormons, whatever). then suddenly, as he himself reached 30, there was a major "time for my own church" moment. except, of course, nobody gave HIM the bn-dollar moneymaker. any they even told him why : he's way the fuck too cool for it, or as joe pesci put it, "that was the last fucking time...." ☟︎
mircea_popescu: 4. he spent some time wrangling around the edges of this, words were exchanged, on the solid footing of complete misunderstanding : on one hand, "i am cool therefore wtf" ; on the other hand "dude, we're in the business of frantic activity as a cover for impotence, wtf is wrong with you".
mircea_popescu: 5. fast forward TWO DECADES. the guy lives with a small group in nature's own poverty in rural ok, then 5.a. refuses ~7 grand windfall on principle grounds but 5.b. does actually show up, ie, his refusal isn't the common "nyah nyah nyah can't hear anything" sort.
trinque: even comes across as sane but humble
mircea_popescu: if he's putting up an act it's like the most disciplined, dedicated acting i've seen.
mircea_popescu: but anyway, the intricate details of the history of the interaction between him and that behemoth of inanity are literally worth the study. very clear cut teardrop diamond of issues surroundant male inheritance in pantsuitland.
mircea_popescu: the reasonable expectation is that he'd have descended into madness by now ; which is the root impetuus of why the discussion even took place. "i wonder how the hell this guy hasn't shot anyone".
mircea_popescu exposed the hand because danielpbarron doth have a knack for ferreting out interesting cases, so a sort of "here you go in exchange".
mircea_popescu: but a word to the wise : all the details aside, dear kids who dream of "revolutionizing" and "entrepreneur culture" and so on and so forth generally "usa-usa-rarara-techblabla" : it did not work for david fish, EVEN IN THE NINETIES.
mircea_popescu: and it won't work for you. not just because you're late to the game, they're about to put out the lights. it wouldn't have worked for you in the 90s, only, "surprised by wealth" half-stories & assorted gargle notwithstanding.
trinque: yeah, I'd say he probably already collected on the order of as many "actual christians" as could be found, even if the bar you're using is literacy
mircea_popescu: trinque, this is a difficult point to delve into, so i'll just concede it for expediency.
danielpbarron: work in what sense? he cares only about the Bible. still true today as it was then
mircea_popescu: in the other sense.
trinque concedes it's a bias of his own, left the church young on the basis of "magic book didn't prevent lying shitbags from infecting the magic book building"
danielpbarron: he does not expect a large following, and even prays to NOT be rich
mircea_popescu: trinque, no wot, no shoes, no service.
trinque: this before even evaluating whether the magic happenings in the book were credible
trinque: aha
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron, you know that jewish thing, "if wealth is a curse let god strike me down with it, and may i never recover"

mircea_popescu: trinque, his other misfortune is of course environmental hazards. strikes me as a clever fellow who'd have benefitted immensely by spending his youth among people who could read the original greek texts, rather than in the mindless hive of pests "quoting" bits at each other. the functional illiteracy of the protestant church crowd wrt classic languages is patently offensive. picture "security expert" conversant in php yet una

danielpbarron: mircea_popescu, darwin
mircea_popescu: yes but if he is no longer the head then who is ?
danielpbarron: mircea_popescu, re greek texts, drawin can read greek hebrew and aramaic, and is working on his own translation of the Bible
danielpbarron: ah, nobody
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron, but the discussion was re his teens and early 20s.
danielpbarron: we could all have benefitted from starting what we do now, sooner
mircea_popescu: understand something : ancient languages are complex. reason 1 is http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-11#1697164 ; reason 2 is http://btcbase.org/log/2016-12-21#1587276 ; add these together suddenly proceeding hermeneutically on pre-renaissance written matter is a life's work for immortal beings. ☝︎☝︎
a111: Logged on 2017-08-11 18:37 mircea_popescu: this is how it manages the inapproximable "whisks" of meaning that latin-style then has so much trouble noting down.
a111: Logged on 2016-12-21 18:32 mircea_popescu: because no, words don't "have meanings". your meanings for ANY WORD are a function of ALL THE OTHER WORDS YOU KNOW. which is why my definitions regularily blow out english dictionaries, wikipedia and other sources of "wisdom" out of the water - i know more words, and in this knowledge i know all the words i know ~better~. infinitely and irreproducibly so.
mircea_popescu: i can also read phf's code, "can read" is a low standard in this context.
mircea_popescu: kinda why the original argument against "translating the scripture" is so strong. and yes it was a mistake.
danielpbarron: it was a mistake to translate?
mircea_popescu: yes.
danielpbarron: i think the kjv and nkjv are suitable english translations
danielpbarron: and darwin's even better
mircea_popescu: "suitable" may work in some contexts ; but in this one the word is already the seal of doom, you've lost.
danielpbarron: you don't need to read the Bible to believe it
trinque: danielpbarron: how can you judge that without reading (and loading the time's literary graph into skull) the ancient original
mircea_popescu: yes ; but you do need to read it to read it.
trinque: or call it cultural graph, broader
danielpbarron: God has caused me to believe it, against my will
danielpbarron: !~bible psa 97:6
jhvh1: danielpbarron: [KJV] Psalms 97:6 :: The heavens declare his righteousness, and all the people see his glory.
danielpbarron: do i need to speak heavenese to hear this declaration?
mircea_popescu: nope.
mircea_popescu: were the book written in this heavenly tongue, it'd be immediately readable i guess. but it factually is not.
mircea_popescu: anyway, the argument against translating is twofold, and leaving the first obvious fold aside (hey, perfect translations may be impossible, but good translations do exist, and that's the job of the exceptional person, wtf else -- anania did it in romanian, and others did it before, it is not entirely impossible) : it introduces the NOTION of translation. i dunno if you're familiar with the meaning of that term, the original m
mircea_popescu: eaning, as captured in "traddutore, tradditore" or otherwise in english "conversion" as the form of theft.
danielpbarron: God chooses (before they are born) who will believe. If He wants you to be saved, He can do it whether you can read or not. He could miraculously make you literate, not that such a thing is even required
mircea_popescu: so then what's the use of these suitable substitutes ?
danielpbarron: i'd like to eventually get Darwin's translation up as a html rather than the pdf it's currently in
danielpbarron: it's helpful to have translations when contending with others
danielpbarron: we come accross people all the time who claim to believe in God, and then deny what their own translation says about Him
mircea_popescu: so what do you need a translation for then, just use their string as-is.
danielpbarron: contending also takes place within the church
danielpbarron: when you rebuke a fellow, you should have scripture to cite
mircea_popescu: yes, but it is never because of a misread and always because of an erection. referring to the sources never fixed the latter.
danielpbarron: if someone won't consent to wholesome words, they are without faith and should be cast out
mircea_popescu: why ?
danielpbarron: 1 Timothy 6:3 If anyone teaches otherwise and does not consent to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which accords with godliness, 4 he is proud, knowing nothing, but is obsessed with disputes and arguments over words, from which come envy, strife, reviling, evil suspicions, 5 useless wranglings[a] of men of corrupt minds and destitute of the truth, who suppose that godliness is a means of gain. From
mircea_popescu: are you stuck maintaining god's wot now ? why, because he's too stupid to know how to work the rating system ?
danielpbarron: \ such withdraw yourself. (cut off from first line)
mircea_popescu: there's space enough between "from such withdraw yourself" and "and should be cast out".
mircea_popescu: compare and contrast the handling of #b-a / #trilema split and rando "incorrectly minded" etc. withdraw yourself from egregious idiocy of a pernicious bent, sure. but...
danielpbarron: if there is one person in the fellow that won't consent to wholesome words, and everyone else withdraws, is that not like casting the one out?
mircea_popescu: it is, if it were what occured. most of the time it's not what occured.
danielpbarron: it's happened plenty of times here
mircea_popescu: sure, here. i meant with the religious practice abroad.
danielpbarron: the false churches are wicked in everything they do, even when what they do is good
danielpbarron: 1 John 2:19 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us; but they went out that they might be made manifest, that none of them were of us.
danielpbarron: re: maintaining God's WoT
danielpbarron: Daniel 4:37 37 Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise and extol and honor the King of heaven, all of whose works are truth, and His ways justice. And those who walk in pride He is able to put down.
danielpbarron: ^ there is hope for even you mircea_popescu, for there have been rulers of the world who praised the true God
mircea_popescu: lol well that's good news.
mircea_popescu: shall i quote thomas at you or no need ?
danielpbarron: i don't see the point, as it's not part of the Bible
mircea_popescu: you know, "show me the light, by all means, but later" ☟︎
danielpbarron: Mark 10:25 It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God. 26 And they were greatly astonished, saying among themselves, "Who then can be saved?" 27 But Jesus looked at them and said, "With men it is impossible, but not with God; for with God all things are possible."
mircea_popescu: anyway, to get back to the 2nd fold of the error : the NOTION of translation is pernicious, and stuff like the protestant lulz of "church of self-esteem" or "we choose to emphasize <bla>" are not unbound errors. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: they're the necessary fruit of "here, learning languages is too hard, we translated it for you"
mircea_popescu: "well gee! if you can trnaslate it for me, why can't it all be about what i want to do anyway ?"
mircea_popescu: the ancient "a philanthropist is the guy who gives me money so i can do what i was going to do in the first place".
danielpbarron: yes but you can hold against the false churches, theire own translations!
mircea_popescu: and in the EXACT same vein, the catholic jesusnonsense ( http://trilema.com/2017/and-dont-go-around-upgrading-the-testaments-either/ ) & "god got over it" ( http://trilema.com/2016/hail-cesar/#selection-65.1-52.9 )

ascii_lander: i'ma get a boot stick in there also
ascii_lander: mircea_popescu: i played 100% of my cards correctly, thus far, prolly will have 2 ~empty days even
mircea_popescu: next you know, he's sucked through manifold, spends them in hospital.
ascii_lander: bahaha
diana_coman: ascii_lander, did you publish anywhere the recipe you intend to follow for this?
ascii_lander: inside dc proper, i fear nuffin, i spent moar time than i care to admit, in'em
ascii_lander: diana_coman: i published the 'seekrit ingredient' (the use flags for banning crapola) and then danielpbarron turned it into a proper recipe
ascii_lander: danielpbarron wouldja happen to have the link handy ?
ascii_lander is on a battle-weary x60, dun have the bookmarksen
mircea_popescu: in any case we have to reconcile and converge these two trunks.
mircea_popescu: trinque, link me again to your recipe, what was it ?
ascii_lander: mircea_popescu: trinque has the superior item, it oughta supercede the trad gentoo
ascii_lander somewhat distracted, first class chixx
danielpbarron: ascii_lander, my recipe (on old blog) http://meadow.danielpbarron.com/2017/gentoo-eulora-quest/ ; but really trinque's is better
ascii_lander: danke schon, danielpbarron
ascii_lander: danielpbarron: trinque's is musltronic, which is Teh Fyootoor but gotta make sure that mircea_popescu's proggy runs on this.
danielpbarron: also my recipe almost certainly doesn't work anymore, but it's a good starting point
ascii_lander: oh incidentally !!
ascii_lander discovered that the rack in fact contains a remotely-operable power distributor
ascii_lander: seems like we can live like white men indeed
ascii_lander: (i.e. remotely cycle boxen)
ben_vulpes:  whoa nifty
ascii_lander: one fewer item i gotta put in the next crate
ascii_lander: ( it was on the list )

diana_coman: I have ascii_lander's cribsheet at least but after the previous experience with trinque's stuff I'm almost sure there'll be some fresh trouble
trinque: you can still use the script as literature, but no, my cuntoo installer is not done.
diana_coman: trinque, and it's very useful as literature for sure
KellieCx: tits
ascii_lander: diana_coman: if you like i can even produce a straight copy of dulap's gentoo, which you can later customize.
trinque: ascii_lander: can I direct your attention to #pizarro, or BingoBoingo's?
diana_coman: to recap: I have ascii_lander's cribsheet; danielpbarron's old recipe; trinque's script
ascii_lander: trinque: BingoBoingo is occupied
diana_coman: ascii_lander, sounds tempting but... what is dulap's gentoo?
ascii_lander: diana_coman: conventional (drepperistic)

diana_coman: it's a pity there isn't really time now to experiment with this machine as the server has been down for long enough already, ugh;
ascii_lander: diana_coman: hence why i suggest to have what i'm eating.
ascii_lander: ( luckily you have exactly same type of box. )
trinque: diana_coman: did you want a gentoo build?
trinque did one for mircea_popescu, wouldn't be opposed to doing one for you.
diana_coman: ascii_lander, ah, I see; I was puzzling re box type, searching for dulap's description to compare
ascii_lander: lemme know what you need for this, trinque
ascii_lander: other than kvm
ascii_lander: diana_coman: you an' i have exactly same box, with the exception where you have 2 ps, and moar disk
diana_coman: trinque, ascii_lander offered to do it; if it's not done by pizarro there's at least more useful experience for me to do it anyway
ascii_lander: ( incidentally lemme know how you want the disks arrayed; if this were mine, i'd put them in raid5 , using 4tb to yield 3tb of storage, plus using 5th 1tb as hotspare. )
trinque: ah k
ascii_lander: i have no objection to doing it; but i also have no objection if somebody else wants to.
trinque will back away, splitting attention, will bbl
mircea_popescu: Melissalmao, c3354a50. half hour --- starting nao.
mircea_popescu: KellieCx, 80d4b66c same deal.
mircea_popescu: aite, seems like the dulap clone is the correct approach here. we'll maybe look at moar cuntoo stuff later.
mircea_popescu: ascii_lander, plox to clone it in at your leisure.
diana_coman: ascii_lander, raid5 as described sounds good; go ahead then and put the same as on dulap
ascii_lander: ok will do exactly this
ascii_lander: you can always rebuild/tweak later
ascii_lander: and potentially once moar disks are brought over, can use your 'spare' box as a staging box
ascii_lander: ( ascii_lander's cargo included 1) dulapIII 2) dulapIII-spare 3) smg 4) smg-spare
ascii_lander: )
diana_coman: ok; if there's anything else - I'll be around for about half hour more now and then tomorrow (in ~9 hours from now)
ascii_lander: let's pessimistically shoot for smg box to be inbiznis by end of tomorrow
ascii_lander discovered that some things take a while in orcistan: hour march to get to cable shop, plodding behind flocks of zombies, then hr back..

Melissalmao: good!
mircea_popescu: are you high on anything ?
Melissalmao: A little, yourself?
mircea_popescu: not really.
mircea_popescu: well, myself, but i'm getting inured.
Melissalmao: what does inured mean?
mircea_popescu: used to it, like tolerance.
Melissalmao: I know that all too well myself
mircea_popescu: so what's your favourite trip ?
Melissalmao: Ex
mircea_popescu: what's ex ?
mircea_popescu: ecstasy ?
Melissalmao: yes
mircea_popescu: do you rave too ?
Melissalmao: no not really i have before but i wouldnt call myself a raver
mircea_popescu: so what do you do with yourself ?
Melissalmao: im a sex worker
mircea_popescu: but besides that ? or is it one of those things, like being religious, takes up the whole day.
Melissalmao: it goes on until the phone stops ringing its a hell of a lifestyle
mircea_popescu was always impressed by how similar really devout religious people, doing the whole purity thing, and really dedicated whores, doing the whole thing, drugs etc actually are.
mircea_popescu: Melissalmao, got a pimp and everything ?
Melissalmao: yes

Melissalmao: something like that
douchebag: mircea_popescu: I think it's worth mentioning that both Melissalmao and Brittt are recieving the same issue with deedbot as earlier
mircea_popescu: Melissalmao, so it's not really a pimp, more like the house mother ?
mircea_popescu: douchebag, somewhat suspicious, as it told me "<deedbot> mircea_popescu paid Melissalmao 0.02". is their key no good or something ?
Melissalmao: !!balance
