11:37 mircea_popescu compare, for your amusement, dig 0ldrepublictitle.com with dig access.0ldrepublictitle.com (the latter is what the cert really serves)
11:38 mircea_popescu rarely have i seen all the letter servers from a to m be in the authority section of an obscure, blogger.com-esque domain.

12:46 mircea_popescu so what the fuck is the relation between a cali hearing clinic, a mid sized title holding/services company such that they'd share certs ? and no, it's not JUST on the mp end of the cannon : http://archive.is/uHV8m
12:50 asciilifeform clinic and title company both ran winblowz and Generous Shareholder Donated their cert to ftmeade ?
12:50 asciilifeform i thought this was obvious
12:50 mircea_popescu no i meant from the alt-reality usg perspective
12:50 mircea_popescu "never happened - but if it did happen, then... what ? operator error ?
12:50 asciilifeform from inside the mental asylum, this... idk, helps stand up the delusion that anyone gives half a shit re ssl ?
12:51 mircea_popescu yeah totally
12:51 asciilifeform props up the notion that the master keys aren't owned by hitler and therefore this idiocy must be done ?
12:51 mircea_popescu lol.
12:51 asciilifeform or that the protocol isn't swiss cheese on all levels outside of the crypto ?
12:51 asciilifeform or, or.
12:52 mircea_popescu anyway. was entertaining.
12:52 asciilifeform would've been mega-entertaining if not for the null diff. but sure.
12:52 asciilifeform BingoBoingo et al ^ qntra-able ??
12:53 mircea_popescu possibly of interest to the cryptome people only.
12:53 asciilifeform not imho mega-nyooz but it beats the 'furry' nonsense
12:53 mircea_popescu nah, that's funny, this is tedium.
12:54 mircea_popescu people who know the us is a scam know the us is a scam. people who "don't know" "don't know" for various good reasons that this bit isn't addressing.
12:54 asciilifeform there still always remains the chance to not merely 'x is a scam' but to take the scammer, and nail his arms and legs to the floor
12:55 asciilifeform imho more rewarding pasttime
13:04 mircea_popescu can't argue with that.
13:06 mircea_popescu anyway, root domain isn't a very good test. who knows, maybe there's some web-based "log in" state thing somewhere on cryptome or w/e.
13:07 asciilifeform not visibly.
13:07 asciilifeform i get diffs only when he updates the text.
13:08 asciilifeform and only there.

21:23 mircea_popescu worst scum.
21:23 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: consider that the proggy ran on ~os~ with autoupdate.

21:27 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: y'know, not ~all~ malware artists are tards. some folks have embedded key.
21:28 mircea_popescu from your own link : the only other mac thing wasn't even working.
21:28 asciilifeform aha.
21:28 asciilifeform these are common, believe or not.
21:28 asciilifeform crapware that doesn't even run.
21:28 mircea_popescu ironically, this shit was signed with apple's whatever.
21:28 asciilifeform (in the old days this was unheard of, because the thing needed to propagate after all.)
21:28 mircea_popescu totally shooting the discussion re "trusted cpu".
21:28 mircea_popescu if fucking apple can't keep its key safe...
21:28 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: signed with apple's developer cert !
21:29 asciilifeform understand, this means that somebody cought up $100
21:29 asciilifeform i can do right now.
21:29 asciilifeform sign 10 times.
21:29 asciilifeform they get revoked at the drop of a hat.
21:29 asciilifeform just like microshit's driver signing certs.
21:29 mircea_popescu i don't see how any of this is a counter to what i said.
21:29 asciilifeform because this is not a precious master key
21:29 mircea_popescu yes, the "strong wall" will be breached by the owners themselves. of course.
21:29 mircea_popescu this is why the whole "security" shit dun work.
21:29 asciilifeform but something their coke machine dispenses when you stick in a benjie.
21:29 mircea_popescu not as drm, not as tpe, not as w/e.
21:29 mircea_popescu they want to live in a world of idiots. this means they can never be safe. full stop.
21:30 asciilifeform well the plebe-cert-signed shit doesn't get to turn ~all~ of the knobs
21:30 asciilifeform that's how the drm prison worx
21:30 mircea_popescu all the knobs that are must be ; and necessarily must be. the knobs that are not, are not ; and necessarily can't be.
21:30 asciilifeform elaborate?
21:30 mircea_popescu do you want to hear it in greek, also ?
21:30 phf meta-nsa has best keys of course
21:31 asciilifeform phf: meta-nsa relaxes and smokes in the corner, it doesn't need keys, sends magic udp
21:34 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: crapple app dev keys and microshit driver keys play roughly the same role in ecosystem as that cali hearing aid shop's ssl cert.
21:35 asciilifeform i.e. they get harvested by folks lookin' to do some infectin', and revoked immediately when the news break
21:35 asciilifeform cheap, disposable.
21:35 asciilifeform easy come, easy go
21:35 mircea_popescu i don't think you take the point, perhaps for lack of familiarity with anaximander.
21:35 asciilifeform let's have it
21:35 mircea_popescu in any case : the fiat world will never be secure, no matter what.
21:35 asciilifeform fiat world is exactly as secure as... the zoo.
21:35 asciilifeform yes, once in a while some critter escapes.
21:36 asciilifeform generally, they stay on the correct side of the bars.
21:36 mircea_popescu this is not so.
21:36 mircea_popescu a better model would be "a zoo where the humans are scored by how many times the animals have sex with them"
21:37 asciilifeform bit of a puzzler
21:37 asciilifeform (who is scored in an ordinary zoo, and how? i dun follow the analogy)
21:37 mircea_popescu the correct model, ie, the zoo, is right here. the republic is a zoo. outsiders are kept in cage.
21:37 mircea_popescu the fiat world is not such. yes, it has the choice to either become such, in which case we won, or else keep trying to pretend no child left behind. in which case we win. etc.
21:38 mircea_popescu in an ordinary zoo, humans are scored like in any other employment. by how often they come late, and other factors.
21:38 asciilifeform fiat world has, what, 400 yrs. of accumulated fat, with which it carries out caligulistic nonsenses like, yes, 'child left behind'
21:38 mircea_popescu mno.
21:38 mircea_popescu that is definitionally its identity.
21:38 mircea_popescu if it abandons that, it no longer substantively exists.
21:39 asciilifeform which is ?
21:39 mircea_popescu "no child left behind"
21:40 asciilifeform incidentally, and perhaps mircea_popescu does not know this, but even here in the heart of mordor this phrase is a comical byword for idiocy, like nixon's plumbers
21:40 mircea_popescu yep.
21:40 mircea_popescu so ?
21:41 asciilifeform but i definitely see how it handily encompasses the varied crimes of the egalitarian cult.
21:42 mircea_popescu what, and if 15 yo girlie "mocks" some dude in her english class that means she's not interested ?
21:42 asciilifeform no i get it.
21:43 mircea_popescu so yes, "walled garden". except it's not so walled as to prevent INEPT third worlder to "we are accept only bitcoin".
21:43 asciilifeform re earlier thread, here is an interesting example of strong cage - intel microcode
21:43 mircea_popescu the bar it poses is exactly that, ~100 bucks, ie fifteen minute's labour or w/e.
21:43 asciilifeform in 20 yrs of signed microcode patches, NOTHING leaked out, not only keys, but even the format of the payload.
21:44 mircea_popescu similarly, in 500 years of continued derpery, nobody bombed isfahan.
21:44 asciilifeform (key exists, legendarily, in 1 copy, in the castle of doom, etc.)
21:44 mircea_popescu i'm sure that'll do something for the future.
21:44 mircea_popescu but it says exactly nothing about the item being strong, it's all about the item being worthless.
21:44 asciilifeform i disagree.
21:44 mircea_popescu and on what basis ?
21:45 asciilifeform not only on the obvious basis of 'can add magic instruction' but 'will reveal magic instructions that have been added in 20 yrs of nsa-supplied patches'
21:45 mircea_popescu "isfahan could host the mother of the red heifer"
21:45 mircea_popescu this is no basis.
21:46 mircea_popescu basically, i've by now distilled the unifying, common principle of all our disagreements to date. it is as follows :
21:47 mircea_popescu you use engineering valuator, which defaults to 0 and respectively maxint in certain edge cases. this comes into conflict with known floors and ceilings established through political, generally, but occasionally economical valuations.
21:48 asciilifeform iirc i once did explain that my mental model of the enemy is myself with a negative sign.
21:49 asciilifeform and i see this as proper, because scheming against a ~stupid~ enemy is largely a waste of time, because how to know ~exactly how stupid~ he is ?
21:49 mircea_popescu not a matter of stupid.
21:49 asciilifeform so the correct thing to do is to picture enemy who has thought of ~at least~ everything you can think of.
21:50 mircea_popescu and in any case, scheming against an enemy modelled on the basis of yourself is rather silly, seeing how if you are so similar you shouldn't be enemies in the first place.
21:50 asciilifeform not how it works
21:50 asciilifeform different colour uniforms --> enemies.
21:50 asciilifeform or, he has a pie, and i do not, enemies.
21:51 mircea_popescu i dun follow.
21:51 asciilifeform and in all cases the most similar creatures are the ones that must fight
21:51 mircea_popescu certainly not so.
21:51 * asciilifeform brb, phood
~ 17 minutes ~
22:09 * asciilifeform back
22:10 asciilifeform re the microcode thing, i can picture mircea_popescu going on a bank heist, and, coming up against a massive safe, 'let's not bother with the dynamite, fellas, this thing surely is full of used condoms'
22:11 asciilifeform the intel turds are ciphered and signed for a reason.
22:11 asciilifeform (a reason that was in place as early as '97)
22:12 asciilifeform while it is ~conceivable~ that any particular heavy safe is filled to the brim with used condoms,
22:12 asciilifeform generally it is not why safes exist upon satan's green earth.
22:12 mircea_popescu depends who owns the safe.
22:12 mircea_popescu i don't let the enemy inform my decisions by his behaviour this explicitly. you ever read the fox and bear fable ?
22:14 asciilifeform aha?
22:14 mircea_popescu how'd they say in russian, "trage, trage ca de radacina tragi"
22:15 asciilifeform waiwut
22:15 mircea_popescu ah so then dunno it ? this one : http://www.neamt.ro/cmj/Creanga/Ursul_pacalit.html
22:15 mircea_popescu ie how the bear lost its tail.
22:15 asciilifeform ah i was thinking of aesop's
22:16 mircea_popescu story in brief :
22:16 mircea_popescu fox wakes up to the sound of peasant driving very heavy cart full of fishes from the lake. climbs in quietly, and while on its back pushes fishes off the cart with feet. then collects it up and goes home.
22:16 mircea_popescu on way home, bear, who at the time had splendid tail, nicer than fox', asks where she got all the fishes.
22:17 mircea_popescu fox explains that you go to lake, put tail in water, pull out full of fishes.
22:17 asciilifeform ah yes i recall this!
22:17 mircea_popescu bear believes, proceeds. overnight the lake freezes, with his tail inside, as he pulls he thinks there's lots of fishes. breaks tail off.
22:17 mircea_popescu seeks out fox in a rage, fox runs into a tree hole. bear can't get in, grabs a hooked branch, tries to get fox
22:18 mircea_popescu whenever he catches on fox, fox cries out in joy "pull, pull, you're pulling on a root"
22:18 mircea_popescu whenever he catches on root, fox goes "o noes, stop with the pulling you're killing me"
22:18 mircea_popescu si asa a ramas ursul pacalit de vulpe [and so the bear was left tricked by the fox]
22:18 asciilifeform we definitely had this tale.
22:19 mircea_popescu so how do you say the "pull, pull" bit ?
22:23 asciilifeform https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k5rMKHLV6Hk << variation on this theme. with ~wolf~ instead of bear, and a number of other tweaks.
22:24 asciilifeform мерзни, мерзни, волчий хвост !
22:24 asciilifeform ^ iconic phrase known to every kid
22:24 asciilifeform 'freeze, freeze, wolf's tail!111'
22:25 phf :D
22:28 mircea_popescu lol
22:28 mircea_popescu kinda weird tho, as wolf has tail.
22:28 asciilifeform he was supposed to have had ~moar tail~ !111
22:29 mircea_popescu lolk
22:32 mircea_popescu but wolf eats fish ?
22:32 asciilifeform this one does!11
22:33 asciilifeform or ~would~ if he could catch!
