00:00 asciilifeform spyked: feedbot down ??
00:00 shinohai Because it pisses him off to see people call him a liar!
00:01 asciilifeform shinohai: i admit, tuned out 3y ago when d00d was 1st asked 'sign w/ the gpg key or addr privs' and in return 0
00:04 shinohai It's good 'ol popcorn drama, same as reading #trilema logs most days.
00:09 asciilifeform i guess
00:10 asciilifeform the thing to remember is that courts wank can be dragged out for decades at an end, and requires no 'new facts' but only bottomless supply of dough
00:10 asciilifeform 'broken record' will play for so long as someone winds it.

15:56 asciilifeform meanwhile, in lulz from the other berlin : git emulator for v !
15:57 * asciilifeform notices that it's still in the #a feed. spyked , when you have time, plox to drop that rss from #a, ty
16:11 shinohai It'll work well with those embedded signatures in V that are such a "security risk" or whatever.

16:52 asciilifeform shinohai: iirc there he was talking about classical gpg being sad (which -- it is, the fattest hash avail. is sha512, so most of avail. bits in sig are wasted)
16:54 asciilifeform ( and incl. other, well-documented sads )
16:54 snsabot Logged on 2020-01-06 23:01:16 asciilifeform: shinohai: it is trickier in the general case, because some folx apparently have been signing with 'subkeys' (and gpg 'helpfully' lies to user, and tells him that he's using '$keyid' regardless)
17:00 shinohai Well no one debates gpg as being steaming pile. I'm just not comprehending the "detached sigs are evil" part.
17:02 asciilifeform shinohai: imho my hypothesis adequately explains.
17:02 snsabot Logged on 2020-01-15 17:38:02 asciilifeform: detached sigs are indep. of the signed matter and of ea. other, which gives decentralized ( folx dun need to 'ask permission' to sign ) and lang-indep. system.
17:08 shinohai You're prolly right. Hail Casear the great and powerful.
17:08 asciilifeform shinohai: i sincerely hope that mp et al actually try to bake this, it'll be hilarious to watch ( where signing e.g. linux kernel will need coupla 10,000s of rsa invocations, auto-recognition of 'what lang' so to get the comment & demarcation syntax, and coupld 10MB of entropy.. )
17:10 asciilifeform folx who insist to sniff glue -- no one can stop; even if in the desert, the gods themselves will send down glue from the heavens for'em to sniff.
17:12 asciilifeform shinohai: for bonus lulz, he wants to use the slow rsa from my wastebasket (aka 'eucrypt'). so promises to be interesting.
17:18 shinohai Oh? I missed the part where "use eucrypt" instead of ffa
17:24 asciilifeform let's do for lulz some arithm. i have a linux-3.16.70.tar handy, and inside 47452 files. now, a modexp (2048bit!) on ye olde koch-rsa eats 0.639s on my machine. so that'd be ~8.42 hours. not counting the hashing (my timing example did not include hashing, had pre-baked operands).
17:24 asciilifeform for 4096b rsa, multiply this by ~1.7...
17:26 asciilifeform this of course also assumes that generation of entropy is instantaneous..
17:26 shinohai ./calc 8.42 * 1.7
17:26 btcinfobot 14.314
17:27 asciilifeform now, if this not already lethally lulzy : this 8.42hr is also what (on this example iron) will take to ~verify each signer in .wot~ on said kernel.
17:28 asciilifeform ( tho in verification you dun have to wait for entropy gen, unlike in signing. but do have to do a hash & modexp for each signature )
17:28 shinohai So `v press kernal.vpatch` come back next day to build?
17:28 asciilifeform depending on how many signers -- next week. and not to build, but to press.
17:29 shinohai ouch.
17:30 asciilifeform nao admittedly a ~50k-file vtree is pathologically obese. but, recall, new генеральная линия партии : multi-GB vtrees!
17:32 asciilifeform shinohai: ffa wouldn't help appreciably, against this. in fact all medicine -- powerless.
17:33 asciilifeform ( an iron rsatron , in pci card, ~might~, but they'll have one some time after they have mars colony )
17:35 asciilifeform see also j. mccarthy's 'folx who refuse to do arithmetic -- are doomed to talk nonsense' .
17:40 asciilifeform new, exciting era, of geological-time algos w/ multi-GB inputs. and no 'wreckers' to prevent this glory. how can not cheer ?

19:32 asciilifeform meanwhile, re recent 'make fleanode peer ?' thread : from horse's mouth :
19:32 snsabot Logged on 2020-02-03 23:23:32 asciilifeform: considered 'bake a fleanode peer' at one point, then thought 'do i want ~that~ in my cage?' and meh
19:32 asciilifeform 'Servers are hosted, not linked. They are maintained remotely from central sites. New configuration files are generated via an automated script at a central location, and new servers are either staged as binary files or recompiled on the server account, depending on architecture and other factors.'
19:33 asciilifeform 'We manage and update software using a centralized configuration management, for which we will need root access. We may create user(s) for the ircd, change core file limits, file descriptor limits, and other modifications as necessary to sustain IRC connections from thousands of users. We also need servers for non-ircd roles.'
19:33 asciilifeform i.e. 'give nsa large box in yer rack for phree'. no ty.
19:36 asciilifeform lulzy, imho, that anybody thought there exist 'independent fleanode noads'.
