10:43 watchglass 176.9.59.199:8333 : Busy? (No answer in 20 sec.) (Operator: jurov)
~ 1 hours 51 minutes ~
12:35 verisimilitude So when can any expect a decision regarding that, adlai?
~ 26 minutes ~
13:02 asciilifeform !q seen-anywhere adlai
13:02 snsabot adlai last seen in #asciilifeform on 2020-08-31 11:44:55: if all this bounty does is accelerate the expenditure of my own coins, then sic transit pecunia fullstop
13:02 asciilifeform verisimilitude: fella shows up ~1x/quarter, you may have to wait..
13:12 verisimilitude That's good to know; well, I've no choice but to wait.
13:19 asciilifeform verisimilitude: abstractly, imho is interesting how little '$work for $coin' there is / has been historically .
13:20 asciilifeform ~only example i've encountered personally was mp's 'naked chix pics for coindust' project. and a few misc. bounties
13:22 asciilifeform here's one of asciilifeform's (still unclaimed to this day!)
13:23 asciilifeform ( tho tbf it was moar of a 'treasure hunt' than generic works )
13:26 asciilifeform at some pt, i'ma put bounties on defects in ffa. but prolly not this yr.
13:26 snsabot Logged on 2020-08-31 13:10:54 asciilifeform: fwiw asciilifeform considered in past, and may consider again, to put btc bounties on finding mistakes in ffa.
13:27 asciilifeform imho is moar useful as 'put money where mouth' gesture than actual effective method to find defects.
13:32 * asciilifeform doesn't plan to pay out for e.g. 'spelling mistake in comments', but rather for 'exploitable' defects, i.e. where clearly fallacious answer outputted for clearly-specified questions, e.g. 'is signature S valid for payload P and pubkey K' etc
13:33 asciilifeform for 'function F claims to take constant time but here's where does not' also will pay.
13:34 asciilifeform participation will limit to folx in L1, w/ L2+ participants permitted if brokered by L1 fella. in no case 'wild randos'.
13:34 asciilifeform but this is long way away.
~ 35 minutes ~
14:10 asciilifeform iirc jurov once threatened to do sumthing similar in tbf, but atm can't find where said this, possibly i hallucinated .
14:16 asciilifeform in unrelated recent lulz. gpg 1.x , as usual, unaffected..
~ 1 hours 24 minutes ~
15:41 verisimilitude What's the advantage of using GnuPG 2 over 1?
15:41 asciilifeform verisimilitude: imho there aint one. lamers who demand guism, or simply install a heathen linux of last 5+y vintage, end up w/ 2.x
15:42 verisimilitude I don't understand why they'd continually update it, then.
15:42 asciilifeform verisimilitude: koch -- maintainer -- is a nsa stooge.
15:43 verisimilitude Oh, alright.
15:43 verisimilitude If and when I download the source to lightly audit and compile, should I choose the last 1 release?
15:43 asciilifeform see e.g.
15:46 asciilifeform verisimilitude: 1.4.10 is the one most ex-#t folx use afaik.
15:46 verisimilitude I'll also choose 1.4.10, then.
15:47 verisimilitude I appreciate the advice.
15:47 asciilifeform verisimilitude: my sig for that tarball.
15:48 asciilifeform verisimilitude: be aware of known bugs .
15:48 verisimilitude Alright.
15:57 verisimilitude I take it 1.4.10 is affected by this flaw.
~ 27 minutes ~
16:25 asciilifeform aha
16:26 asciilifeform afaik all versions of the era, similarly. in principle could be used to nail folx w/ very long ( > 2048b ) keys from those days.
16:27 asciilifeform ( in practice no one's admitted to succeeding. but unsurprising. wouldja admit ? )
16:37 * asciilifeform never patched his gpg, given as doesn't ever intend to generate keys on gpg again; and if were to -- doesn't think much of koch's published patch, keygen still uses whitenism
16:40 asciilifeform the correct way to keygen is to pump straight from iron rng. Just Say No to kochism.
16:41 asciilifeform my approach to the q, ftr.

18:50 phc hey im phc
18:50 phc wuddup
18:50 shinohai hai phc
18:50 phc hello
18:51 shinohai What brings you to chan?
18:51 phc i dont know
18:51 phc something....
18:51 phc im trying to commission a small job
18:51 phc for an ftp site
18:51 phc just one word, monochrome, with some scrolling and stuff
18:52 shinohai ah kk .... verisimilitude is this in your purview
18:53 phc the word itself is annoyingly long tho
18:54 phc im not sure what's the max column width that would display in an ftp
18:54 phc ill hang out for awhile, thanks
19:03 shinohai np
19:12 verisimilitude Do tell, phc.
19:16 phc word is "polyandrium"
19:16 verisimilitude Okay; what of it?
19:16 phc maybe "Welcome to the" along the top left somewhere in typed font
19:17 phc i told the folks in efnet #asciiart id send paypal if someone could do a decent job
19:17 phc no takers
19:18 phc the word is greek for "ancient crypt of warriors"
19:18 phc or something like that
19:18 verisimilitude The closest word in my physical dictionary was ``polyandry'', the act of having multiple husbands.
19:18 verisimilitude The online dictionaries agree with this burying ground definition, however, yes.
19:19 phc but it's going to be an ebook ftp, so i was thinking some skulls and books, or skeletal hands + tombstones
19:19 phc but i cant afford a full spread
19:19 phc im sure
19:19 phc artist would get FL access for life, ofc
19:19 verisimilitude So what's wanted is to produce a full screen ``home page'' for an FTP server?
19:20 phc something that would fit in an ftp program display
19:20 verisimilitude Alright, so 80x25, say?
19:20 phc so a user would see it when they log on, and then everytime they download something
19:20 verisimilitude How much would this pay, phc?
19:21 phc depends on how much time you spend on it, and how sick it is
19:21 phc no less than twenty bucks
19:21 verisimilitude The only payment method is Paypal, correct?
19:21 phc or the artist could set an hourly rate, and then we could cap it
19:22 phc uhhh i guess i could get in to bitcoin
19:22 verisimilitude With no offense intended, I'm not willing to reveal my identity for such a job, so I wouldn't want to use Paypal.
19:22 phc fair enuf
19:22 phc understandable
19:22 verisimilitude If we use Bitcoin, I'd also need to generate an address.
19:23 phc ofc u can put your tag in the piece itself
19:23 verisimilitude What's the schedule for this, phc; how long do I have to accept, to provide, etc.?
19:25 phc the site itself is probably some weeks off
19:25 phc just think about it, ill idle in here for a few days
19:25 verisimilitude Alright.
~ 1 hours 13 minutes ~
20:39 asciilifeform phc: i suspect that you may be gravely confused. this chan is not about ascii art ( tho i am not averse to ascii art... )
20:39 asciilifeform phc: it is not a gathering place for ascii-artists... simply is accident of fate that i've a suggestive irc handle, lol.
20:40 * asciilifeform hates to disappoint the n00b, but must state fact
20:42 shinohai I always like the ascii art in original shiva m/l announcement.
20:42 asciilifeform http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/asciilifeform/2020-09-03#1021041 << dun think that was why. think, a broken battlefield key is worth rather moar 'half-dead' than publicly phuctored.
20:42 snsabot Logged on 2020-09-03 18:08:55 shinohai: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/asciilifeform/2020-09-03#1021037 << but mah douchebag responsible disclosure and sheeit.
20:42 asciilifeform shinohai: the jolly roger ? iirc it was stock
20:43 asciilifeform verisimilitude: i gotta ask, are you actually artist, or just starving ?
20:44 * asciilifeform is reasonably tolerant of off-subj material, but will politely ask that folx take any 'make me $xyz for paypal' somewhere else .
20:45 asciilifeform ( for all values of $xyz that aint a bitcoin tx.. )
20:45 * asciilifeform bbl.
20:45 verisimilitude I figured it was in poor taste to partake in the conversation; had it not come so swiftly after adlai's announcement, I likely wouldn't've bothered with it, asciilifeform.
20:46 verisimilitude I'm not starving, and I'm not much of an artist.
20:47 verisimilitude To phc, I've actually a relevant section of my website, so go there and read it: http://verisimilitudes.net
20:51 * trinque chortles mightily
