mircea_popescu: meanwhile in truly obscure niche news nobody could possibly give a shit about, http://www.laughspin.com/

mircea_popescu: also, .ovh is a tld now.

mircea_popescu: http://www.laughspin.com/lahna-turner-how-i-lost-500-pounds-guest-post/ << this is possibly the shittiest "creative writing" 16yo paper i ever had to score

mircea_popescu: "and i score it F, for get the Fuck off the premises, whore. education's not for everybody."

mircea_popescu: hey, maybe BingoBoingo wants to talk to dylan for advertising strategic partnership. replace the uberlulzy http://pixel.indieclick.com/annonymous/ block that serves me 3 instances of the same idiotic "Millonarios quieren prohibir este video - ¡Míralo!"

mircea_popescu: anyway, retard's got a personal website, too. "Watch Limeade a comedic homage to Beyonce’s “Lemonade,”. Heartbreak turns into laughter in this comedy visual music album."

mircea_popescu: lobbes (and whoever might care, BingoBoingo asciilifeform ?) in re http://blog.lobbesblog.com/2018/07/sales-report-june-2018/#selection-171.12-175.51 : consider the bounty of the internets is indeed great. take for instance : http://www.updates4news.com/kyledata/KyleS_10727_BIZOPP_2015-06-04.txt

mircea_popescu: actually... i suppose might as well get the whole pile archived ☟︎

mircea_popescu: in other lulz, if anything says "african woman" better than http://archive.is/Sk6m9#selection-3443.0-3449.1 i wish to know what. because honestly...

deedbot: http://thetarpit.org/posts/y04/076-shithub-2018-06.html << The Tar Pit - May-June 2018 Shithub SSH key harvest, data and preliminary analysis

spyked: ^ asciilifeform, this is all yours. let me know if there's anything I missed, the archive is in "phathub" format.

spyked: for the impatient: the download link for the data is at the bottom of the post.

a111: Logged on 2018-07-06 23:40 phf: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-07-02#1831298 << unless you have particular preferences, i'm going to throw it into the same patchset as ircbot. it'll follow the grand ircbot tradition of a genesis that never the less relies on the adjacent patches

a111: Logged on 2018-05-25 22:14 mircea_popescu: afaik ben_vulpes made one and trinque the other or somesuch. in general, the cause for this is author1 thinks author2 is an idiot.

spyked: btw trinque, I'm getting back to trilemabot-works next week, so I can do the regrind after trilemabot part ii if that's too deep in your queue. ☟︎

spyked: spoilers: trilemabot-ii will publish prefixed command handling for irc bots. since I'm not the first to implement this, I'll be eager to have curious eyes examining it once it's up.

spyked: and in log reviews: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-06-28#1830519 <-- I used to read that some years ago. the references to greek mythology aren't too terrible -- for a comic. otherwise same 'ol steampunk medieval romanticization. ☝︎

a111: Logged on 2018-06-28 05:05 mircea_popescu: "A brief page with a few annotations about the Girl Genius web comic, for which a link banner appears to the right, is now on this site." holy shit that's terriblty drawn

asciilifeform: spyked: does the csv consist strictly of the rsa keys, or all of'em ? ( asciilifeform currently cannot use non-rsa keys for anyffing )

asciilifeform: spyked: the 'Not Found' keys are not necessarily spamological : many of the earlier items featured in http://trilema.com/2018/and-in-things-that-didnt-happen-today-heres-192-cracked-github-keys-some-hotties-in-tech-included-yes/ today return same eggog if you try to load'em from shithub

asciilifeform: seems to mean simply that key (not necessarily entire luser's acct) was deleted at some point.

asciilifeform: 'As per the figures above, there were only about 4.6 million RSA keys in existence on GitHub on the 1st of July 2018, as opposed to the approximately 6.9 million found by JuroV' << i suspect that the culprit is the massed usg thrust towards 'use ecdsa nao!'

spyked: asciilifeform, phathub file contains RSA e and N only. but that's a good point, should also post the other ones under some raw form. ☟︎

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform butofcourse.

mircea_popescu: spyked the ~drawing~ is fucking terrible. and not merely terrible, but i can tell from its bruteforced stupidity exactly how the writing goes, because it's evident enough the same mind does both and how that sort of mind goes.

mircea_popescu: author should be whipped to death in public square, as far as i'm concerned ; and all others like him alongside.

mircea_popescu: imo the 6.9 -> 4.6 mn drop (ONE THIRD! in a coupla years!) is the news item of the month, year, whatever.

mircea_popescu: demographically worse than a ww1.

mircea_popescu: re http://thetarpit.org/posts/y04/076-shithub-2018-06.html#selection-149.0-153.220 : you should see the "easy to detect" over @ fetlife, fucktards have five dozen DIFFERENT failure modes, all of them ujust as "specifically laid out". bot code is 60% "handle inept error pages" by mass. so fucking evident it's the result of "incremental development", too. ☟︎

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the 6.9 -> 4.6 was in re rsa strictly, unless i misread

mircea_popescu: so ?

mircea_popescu: "the drop was in re men only, they have neotenic children now to make up the difference". mmmkay ?

mircea_popescu: they moved to sucking on my cock.

mircea_popescu: http://thetarpit.org/posts/y04/076-shithub-2018-06.html#selection-173.58-173.68 << the game they play is "growth velocity" and "user counts". so...

mircea_popescu: same thing on every other graham-andreessen shitweb "project" or w/e they call them, "leader blabla".

mircea_popescu: socialist capitalism all about dilution, inescapable fundament of the pile.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform re "moved on to sucking my cock" : http://thetarpit.org/posts/y04/076-shithub-2018-06.html#selection-185.0-189.0

mircea_popescu: ie, ~same distribution as in 2016.

asciilifeform: incidentally nao that shithub has been officially absorbed into microshit, i expect there will be a 'digg -> reddit'-style exodus of deps to some new 'designated opposition' snakepit. but dunno where this is, yet.

mircea_popescu: psssssh. i don't.

asciilifeform: but historically they always make a 'opposition' snakepit, 'can of pepsi on the left' etc

mircea_popescu: imo this is well expired.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: btw you may find it interesting that some unknown % of shithub accts are commercial worker bees, thing is commonly used by small software corps in usa for storage

mircea_popescu: not really. thing is used by aspiring spam "companies" the world over to "build history" so they can become candidates for money laundering "acquisitions" later on.

mircea_popescu: it's a whole chumpatron, doing away with your social security & pension funds.

asciilifeform: ( and/or folx getting their shit together and moving their repo to actual box in-house )

mircea_popescu: if you wanna one day be groupon, best start "building evidence" today.

mircea_popescu: right. might as well use realistic terminology rather than their in-universe nonsensical wank.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform anyway, what i'm waiting for is you discovering there's ~1% NEW keys in that 4.6mn pile. after which we can simply declare github ie "technology" production in the empire dead and move on.

mircea_popescu transparently has about as much respect for the intellectual productions of north america as for the intellectual productions of the gabon republic.

mircea_popescu: right.

mircea_popescu: in otherr lulz, chick tastes my steak, "Hey, this isn't steak tartare ; this is steak a la mode"

esthlos: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-07-06#1832404 << my vtron doesn't include a vdiffer or a patch-applier. was this an oversight? ☝︎

a111: Logged on 2018-07-06 23:13 trinque: shells out to patch, perhaps the intent there was to end up with an external patch util that understands vpatch hashes. esthlos, maybe shed light?

asciilifeform: 'my axe doesn't include a handle or blade, is this oversight' ?!

mircea_popescu: i am confused.

asciilifeform: looking again at his coad, seems like it simply calls out ( just like my vtron did ) to patch util

mircea_popescu: ok, but if he doesn't calculate hashes what's he do

mircea_popescu: to match them it must calculate them.

esthlos: they are already lying in the vpatch file though. what am I missing?

mircea_popescu: dude.

mircea_popescu: why the fuck would you trust some random number from a file.

mircea_popescu: you don't check seals, either ?

mircea_popescu: "is signed" or "i check the signatures" ?

mircea_popescu: and then the hashes aren't checked against the file updated prior to updating and the result after updating it ?

mircea_popescu: well yes, oversight.

mircea_popescu: and change how you think. the whole point of even having any of this is to have all of it.

mircea_popescu: if your hashes are unchecked, why bother with signatures ?

esthlos: ah wait, so sig is "I place my trust in this transformation", but I didn't check initial conditions, did I?

a111: Logged on 2016-09-08 15:31 mircea_popescu: ie, young brazillian chick WILL have to have her cooking checked for shit, because apparently wash hands is not universally comprehended in brazil.

mircea_popescu: esthlos exactly. for all you know a) you're applying patches on the wrong fileset, resulting in a broken / uncompilable pile

mircea_popescu: and b) you're applying "fuck you()" on the expectation it hashes as "pupcakes and soda cop"

esthlos: asciilifeform: this is 100% true. I need some adult supervision. kinda why I'm here

mircea_popescu: gotta check that the trusted (as established by sigs) transformation is applied on a) what it expects to be applied and b) the provided transformation ~actually matches~ the described transformation that was trusted.

trinque: is the task for esthlos here to produce a patch util that cares about hashes, or to build all patching functionality into the vtron ?

esthlos: additionally, before I make another mistake, does this warrant redoing the genesis (because original item is broken?), or a new patch?

mircea_popescu: esthlos genesis ~never needs redoing. it's a purely administrative decision, to regrind, dun sweat it.

mircea_popescu: just patch on it.

mircea_popescu: trinque the idea is to get a definitive item, does everything.

trinque: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-07-07#1832542 << I'd be much obliged if you did, staying on cuntoo dev until done. ☝︎☟︎

a111: Logged on 2018-07-07 11:40 spyked: btw trinque, I'm getting back to trilemabot-works next week, so I can do the regrind after trilemabot part ii if that's too deep in your queue.

mircea_popescu: now, shelling out to diff / patch is one thing (though somewhat iffy for reasons discussed in a long thread, which phf mostly fixed). but shelling out to hasher is no longer possible because keccak implementation isn't shell.

esthlos: so two things I see are: 1. what to do for hasher? somehow integrate phf's item into my vtron? 2. what do to for diff/patch? lisp McIlroy?

mircea_popescu: esthlos there's an eucrypt keccak you can either import (by patching off eucrypt) or copy over (as a different patch).

mircea_popescu: also, can integrate phf's code, same way

mircea_popescu: inb4 4mn lines of pop :D

mircea_popescu: hey, gotta account for technological progress since 2014.

mircea_popescu: you know the joke ?

mircea_popescu: guy goes to doctor, "doc, my wife is annoying". so doctor recommends warm compresses, to be placed on the annoying parts.

mircea_popescu: months pass, the two meet socially. "how goes ?" "i got divorced" "how come ?" "wife -- annoying" "but there's medical cures for that!" "oh, i tried warm compresses till i was black and blue from it" "no, not warm. cold."

mircea_popescu: "da fuck ? you told me warm ?!" "yes well... that was then. what, you think medical science made no progress in the interval ?"

mircea_popescu: esthlos what about it ?

esthlos: trying to figure out what patch I can base the press from to get keccak. seems like its eucrypt_keccak_birate_fix, but that pulls in the other components according to the graph

mircea_popescu: esthlos if you patch ~off~ of eucrypt your whole thing becomes a patchset.

esthlos: right. but are you suggesting to pull in all of eucrypt, including mpi, etc.?

mircea_popescu: i'm not suggesting either ; i'm just saying that you have two ways you could proceed. either identify among the code you wish to reuse a tree to nestle among, and then your vtron would be an eucrypt downstream item, or a phf vtron item or whatever you pick ;

mircea_popescu: or else you copy over the code you want to use into your own tree.

mircea_popescu: this has nothing to do with the particularls, not you, nor the project etc ; it's just how it goes, either way 1 or way 2.

esthlos: if standalone is difficult due to eucrypt_keccak_bitrate_fix, then I'll plan to copy code

mircea_popescu: esthlos of course, if your whole thing is lisp, the utility of ada keccak may be limited ?

diana_coman: esthlos, you can compile it standalone but indeed because of the bitrate fix you'll need to patch all the way to that at least so getting everything in

diana_coman: alternatively you can press to ch9 and then add the fix on top I guess

mircea_popescu: esthlos welcome to the mechanisms of lordship. it's your project, it's your job to make this sort of decisions. "should this be rewritten in lisp, imported in ada, be turned into a point of grafting on eucrypt tree ?" ☟︎

mircea_popescu: i ain't gonna make them for you, even if you turn out to suck at it.

diana_coman: esthlos, measure 10 times, cut once and esp... know why you chose whatever you chose

mircea_popescu: the above especially. whole thing works just like eulora price formation, gotta have some sort of reasoning to back you up.

mircea_popescu: then ~that reasoning~ becomes who you are, because it's what people evaluate.

mircea_popescu: it's the direct equivalent of a key, actually. if you regard a rsa key as "a succession of 2048 binary questions" to which one gives exactly correct answers ; then ~choices you make~ are ultimately the basis of identity.

mircea_popescu: "should #1477 [bit of privkey] be true or false ?" === "do i x or y in situation z"

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: somewhat surprisingly, eater is 1059370 keyz into the spyked parcel, and result is 1059878 new mods ( i.e. avg of >1 per ! )

asciilifeform: what this also means, as i understand, is that there are some lusers with >1 mod .

asciilifeform: or hm, nm, it's an artifact of the phuctor stats cache mechanism.

asciilifeform: there cannot actually be >1 mod from 1 line of the input csv.

mircea_popescu: does it actually dedupe ?

asciilifeform: ( keys with dupe mods get processed correctly, they are addressable as distinct keys but mods are references to a mods table, and dupes get marked as dupes. bernsteintron works on deduped mods table. )

mircea_popescu: i must say this is shocking.

mircea_popescu: so ~all~ keys got replaced since 2015 ?!

mircea_popescu: 100% of 1/4 of the lot... nuts.

mircea_popescu: consider, he walks a historical table. ☟︎

mircea_popescu: fifo, so these'd be the old ones ?

mircea_popescu: i thought he went by account id which is a counter

mircea_popescu: in other such, trilema the most read it's ever been

mircea_popescu: (mostly because -- rape and bdsm article)

asciilifeform: in other lulz, asciilifeform was reading http://btcbase.org/log/2018-07-07#1832679 and wondered why they wrote 'Rușia' then finally realized that it was a gnat stuck to asciilifeform's display ! ☝︎

a111: Logged on 2018-07-07 20:09 deedbot: http://trilema.com/2018/brokola-nuff-said/ << Trilema - Brokola. 'Nuff said.

mircea_popescu: lmao

mircea_popescu: i didn't realise there's disadvantages to a gnat system

asciilifeform: hey, recall how background 5k radio hum of the universe was found.

mircea_popescu: lmao!

asciilifeform: ( these, as alert reader prolly realizes, signal immediately, they do not require bernsteinization to find )

BingoBoingo: The latest news out of Venezuela is that the Maid won't reliably show up to work because Maduro is handing out free food, and what's the point of working when there's food handouts

mircea_popescu: doh.

mircea_popescu: and what's the point of not shooting said maid needn't be answered because maid-council established "you couldn't do that", and what maid council establishes fucking goes, or what.

phf: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-07-07#1832417 << so far only one patch is using keccak, the new patches that came out are all sha512 and none of the existing projects attempted a regrind ☝︎

a111: Logged on 2018-07-07 01:20 mircea_popescu: phf define slow adoption!!

phf: now the reason i kept the branches separate is because i was expecting a rapid switch to keccak as soon as one's available, so the need to deal with sha patches would've been rare. that's not the case, and i want to have similar functionality available for both sha and keccak until there's no more active sha patches in the wild.

mircea_popescu: hrmph.

BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> and what's the point of not shooting said maid needn't be answered because maid-council established "you couldn't do that", and what maid council establishes fucking goes, or what. << Plan seems to be fuck off and leave confused maid and maid council behind

mircea_popescu: producing ~nation of africa

phf: i've been using vpatch/vdiff without full blown v, because i can order the patches by hand (and there's now an explicit ordering provided by manifest), and vpatch verifies the hashes for me. it would be handy if i could also press existing sha patches with `vpatch -a sha` or whatever ☟︎

mircea_popescu: or if we actually took ourselves seriously enough to get rid of the dumb shit.

asciilifeform: i still dun fully grasp why hasher gotta be hardwired into the vtron. what's the point of even having a shell if not for pluggable items like hash.

asciilifeform: as for keccak, util oughta take a bitness arg ( sorta half the win from keccak, is that you can demand e.g. kilobit hash output )

asciilifeform: in other noose, 1807113 keyz swallowed, containing 1646811 new mods.

phf: esthlos: your v_genesis patch is broken, http://btcbase.org/patches/v_genesis/file "contact" etc. ☟︎

asciilifeform: ugh did he manage to dig up a pre-timestampremoval vdiff.sh ?!
