09:27 ave1 Also, self-pings did not work on nfs hosting (and probably other website hosters)
09:27 ave1 For mp-wp.
09:28 diana_coman ave1, that highbit/lowbit thing is touched upon in http://www.dianacoman.com/2017/12/07/introducing-eucrypt/#selection-133.195-133.456 ; I'll look again at it though and in more detail at your suggestion, thank you
09:28 ave1 Turns out that the pingback fix in mp-wp, will reject self-pings as the ip address does not match (backend code runs on different server than front end site)
09:29 ave1 So the filter needs to be adjusted a little
09:29 ave1 This is what I have now: http://wotpaste.cascadianhacker.com/pastes/NJhMO/?raw=true
09:30 ave1 I'm logging the pings, to check how I can enumerate the good sites
09:31 diana_coman ave1, and the trouble with changing stuff in mpi is that one needs to track afterwards ALL calls/uses of that code; I was rather avoiding changing mpi unless I really really needed
09:31 diana_coman needed to*
09:33 ave1 diana_coman: I can understand!
09:36 diana_coman found it: http://www.dianacoman.com/2017/12/28/eucrypt-chapter-3-miller-rabin-implementation/#selection-169.0-169.1019 <- ave1
09:41 diana_coman ave1 I really appreciate your scrutiny of eucrypt - keep it up! :)
09:43 ave1 no problem! I'm working on a command line tool with eucrypt and I keep hitting my head against seemingly strange code. Which needs to be read and re-read, and then checked.
09:46 ave1 Also the terminology of high/low, leading/trailing, bits/limbs/octets etc. keeps tripping me up. The limbs are stored low to high, wich means 0 is trailing, n is leading.
09:47 diana_coman I feel your pain: it's insane-mpi for sure

10:01 mircea_popescu they shouldn't "have been able to", and the more "insane" THE MORE SO, not the less so.
10:01 mircea_popescu this isn't a rational, reality-bound, economics-driven process, after all. pure hallucinatoria, just add verbiage.

10:20 mircea_popescu server load soem deisgnated victim's pages for a cost of one ~100 byte packet.
10:20 mircea_popescu asciilifeform it's a scandal!
10:24 mircea_popescu http://btcbase.org/log/2018-03-21#1788331 << whitelist-only pinging might well be an improvement on the current situation worth discussing. so on the basis of trilema experience :
10:24 a111 Logged on 2018-03-21 13:30 ave1: I'm logging the pings, to check how I can enumerate the good sites
10:25 mircea_popescu the advantage of the current system (anyone can ping, ips must match, not seen before sources go in mod queue) is that anyone can just ping, without prior arrangement.
10:26 asciilifeform http://btcbase.org/log/2018-03-21#1788357 << it is 'broken' like this : you don't get a box (or even virtual box) with a particular ip, on nfs co, but rather a thing reminiscent of crapflare (but built ~20yrs prior) where the dns resolves as ip x for some loads, ip y for others, etc. so as to spread the ddosolade around. ( somewhat surprisingly, it actually worx -- eats multi-GB without coughing )
10:26 a111 Logged on 2018-03-21 14:17 mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-03-21#1788325 << from what i understand they don't work on nfs because nfs is broken by design (alf tho thinks this is not a bug but a feature, something in the vein of "if you deliberately break the lock on your mailbox, you may miss out on some mail, it's true, but you can always claim in court you never got their papers" or such).
10:26 mircea_popescu this advantage is however massively moderated by the sheer lunatic imbecility of english speakers, whereby i do not think it has happened yet that five people actually linked to an article on trilema without prior arrangement, such as their having a wot presence etc. there's one exception that comes to mind, some dood running a "dark underground" or w/e blog. this OVER TEN YEARS nigh on.
10:26 mircea_popescu the disadvantage, and it is marked, is that there's an endless supply of "independent" and hallucinatorily "free" imbeciles, and EACH AND EVERY ONE will have to try foisting any idiotic little scheme from the annals of ancient schemes upon the entire world.
10:27 mircea_popescu as a result, trilema answers xmlrpc.php calls to the tune of ten a second every second, every day of every week of ever year. there's many many millions each month, no exception to date.
10:28 mircea_popescu and they'll do it 1mn times per ip, no problem, they just set up the script, until the host kicks them off they literally don't care about anything.
10:28 mircea_popescu what "look and see if my idiocy works" ?!?! that's practically racism.
10:28 mircea_popescu now, if xmlrpc.php had a whitelist, something as simple as a htaccess deny from all allow from x, this whole idiocy would go away.
10:29 mircea_popescu the disadvantage, of course, is that you have to now police a private, hand-cobbled dns, because ips change.
10:29 mircea_popescu which is why i've not done it to date.
10:30 asciilifeform probably easier to manually curate a list of friendly items that linked to yours, and dispense with the wp automagic ping thing
10:30 mircea_popescu i loathe to curate anything by hand.
10:30 mircea_popescu point in case -- you think you can curate by hand a list of friends, yet your "blogroll" is perpetually out of date ; i don't have one nor ever had one for this exact reason, i ain't handcurating jack.
10:31 mircea_popescu whole fucking point of even having computers is to not curate things by hand.
10:32 mircea_popescu ave1 that all make sense ?
10:33 ave1 Yes indeed! Also about the curating
10:33 mircea_popescu what i would REALLY like would be a pill whereby something spawned forth by cunt speaking english is NO LONGER this fundamentally idiotic moron who simply can not engage the world.
10:34 mircea_popescu go talk to a girl and ping a blog, motherfuckers, jesus fucking christ on a cracker they LIED TO YOU, it's immoral NOT TO! you don't catch anything from sticking it into the wet sight unseen.

10:56 mircea_popescu in fact and rather transparently, the whole "secret curve" pseudocryptography is a direct result of all the nsa time spent chasing those a and b (no b doesn't HAVE TO BE 2, just as long as you know how you round it can also be a real)
10:57 mircea_popescu after having idiots driven through the deserts for 20 years over at "secret labs", something like EC is a necessary byproduct just for the sake of maintaining whatever shreds of sanity.
