02:41 xmj kuzetsa: did you secure your systems against the vuln in nss too?
02:43 kuzetsa xmj: that vulnerability is not present on my system
02:43 kuzetsa I haven't got anything using RSA in production at this time
02:43 kuzetsa well... I mean my GPG key for authing with gribble is an RSA key but other than that
02:43 kuzetsa and that isn't on the server, that's on my laptop
02:44 xmj kuzetsa: that's one way to secure your systems, "yes" would've sufficed
02:44 xmj :]
02:44 xmj kuzetsa: hopefully your RSA key uses OpenSSH
02:51 kuzetsa xmj: my PGP (GPG) key was generated using openssh, yeah
02:51 xmj what
02:52 xmj i did mean 'openssh' instead of 'nss
02:52 xmj '
02:52 kuzetsa hmm
02:52 kuzetsa I meant openssl not openssh
02:52 xmj hum how does one create pgp keys with openSSL ?
02:53 kuzetsa gpg --gen-key
02:54 kuzetsa and then when you select RSA it's done via openssl
02:55 xmj oh
02:55 xmj didn't know that one, thanks!
02:58 kuzetsa oh
02:58 kuzetsa crap
02:58 kuzetsa I just audited and apparently I made an assumption which is not true
02:58 kuzetsa gnupg uses libgcrypt for the RSA key generation :(
03:00 xmj kuzetsa: even openssL would be Bad.
03:00 kuzetsa realy? why?
03:00 kuzetsa what's wrong with using openssl to generate RSA keys?
03:00 xmj libressL or openssH? good. openssL? bad.
03:00 xmj because it's full of bugs and other otherwise legacy crap http://opensslrampage.com/
03:01 * kuzetsa glares at http://ww2.qfind.net/?__jsfail
03:02 kuzetsa xmj: what did yoyu just try to link me anyway?
03:02 kuzetsa it's got obfuscated redirectors and suspicious javascript in it
03:02 xmj 3http://opensslrampage.org/
03:03 xmj silly hackers not buying .com .net and .org at once, i wanted .org
03:03 kuzetsa oooh
03:03 kuzetsa so it was a domain squatter using the .com when the actual site is on .org... interesting
03:04 kuzetsa I'm glad I didn't have a system policy which let that suspicious code run
03:04 kuzetsa default allow for javascript is such failsauce
03:04 xmj you mean, openssl?
03:06 * kuzetsa makes a funny face emoji thiner IRL :/
03:06 kuzetsa opensslrampage appears to be someone's blog who posts nothing but links to random-ass commits to the libressl repo
03:07 kuzetsa it actually looks so shitty I think it might even be an automated thing done by a rather unimaginatve bot
03:10 BingoBoingo Is that really a bad thing kuzetsa

12:48 mircea_popescu nothing wrong with that, people allowed their own intimacy.
12:48 mircea_popescu course, it takes extra strength adolescent retardation to imagine it makes any sort of "science"
12:48 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: intimacy - sure. but this one is in encyclopaedias, and fed to n00bs as actual data that has bearing on what is possible, worth doing, worth funding, etc.
12:49 mircea_popescu but then again, the same sort of adolescent retardation is at work everywhere - what english speaker could hold his job if the artificial barriers were removed ?

12:50 mircea_popescu the russian career criminals reportedly find the us, in spite of having the world's largest incarcerated population, doesn't even have good prisoners.

12:50 ben_vulpes what is a good prisoner?
12:50 mircea_popescu course if you ask them, or if you watch their movies, they're total fucking experts.
12:50 asciilifeform incidentally, it is because the prisons are run as a miniature copy of the entire empire
12:50 mircea_popescu quite.
12:51 mircea_popescu ben_vulpes hard to explain, in english.
12:51 ben_vulpes the mind boggles at the thing mircea_popescu finds difficult to explain, in any language.
12:51 mircea_popescu but if it helps, "russian career criminal" = вор
12:51 mircea_popescu which sort-of reads like dop in romanian, which is a funny little word, meaning cork.
12:52 asciilifeform i'll try.

12:53 mircea_popescu they are, in short, retarded.
12:53 xanthyos in a privatized prison system, a "good prisoner" is one who consumes the least amount of food

15:24 asciilifeform well, naturally. right now folks have to choose between 'rich and healthy or poor and diseased.' because actual security is expensive (the way unicorn meat is expensive)
15:24 asciilifeform but if it were an actual option, appealing to beggar and miser alike, then we know if deliberate bending over is the actual phenomenon at work
15:24 mircea_popescu it's not expensive except in terms of derpage.

15:30 asciilifeform if they're the 'greek' type, that are simply 'not gate', then - sure.

17:02 mircea_popescu pity it doesn't also mention how bush and his lackey blair lied about imagined "weapons" that they themselves did have, but iraq did not have.
17:04 mircea_popescu all this mess stemming from the intellectually bankrupt ideology that there is such a thing as "progress" which somehow is made out of "change".

17:09 assbot Tax bureau gets Swiss bank accounts data - BuenosAiresHerald.com
17:12 mircea_popescu everyone's whore, those swiss.
17:12 mircea_popescu "The head of the AFIP tax bureau Ricardo Echegaray received yesterday an encrypted CD from the French government containing information on 3,900 undeclared bank accounts of Argentine origin in the Swiss branch of HSBC. The original source of information is whistleblower Hervé Falciani, who worked as an IT engineer at the bank for seven years before deciding to leak what he saw as systemic tax evasion."
17:12 mircea_popescu lawl.
17:13 mircea_popescu "“We will analyze the information on a case-by-case basis, and cross-reference this database with the taxpayers that have declared accounts on Switzerland’s HSBC,” Echegaray explained afterwards when meeting the press at the Argentine Embassy in France." << how about "we can't use stolen data".
17:13 ben_vulpes and yet being "unbanked" is a bad thing to the libtard
17:14 mircea_popescu "According to Clarín’s supplement iEco, it was Falciani who originally contacted the Argentine authorities to talk about the list, but there was a legal obstacle to circumvent before the information could be used by AFIP: if the list was given straight to Echegaray outside official state channels, its validity would not have stood in front of a court of law.
17:14 mircea_popescu The fact that the information was today released by the French state to Echegaray under the legal umbrella of a bilateral agreement between both countries’ tax authorities on so-called double taxation put those doubts to rest."
17:15 mircea_popescu yeah lol, im sure it does.

18:25 mircea_popescu hm, this shou;dn't work.
18:26 dub correct
18:29 dignork never tried it, but net 1 - 192.168.0.x, net 2 - 192.168.1.x should work if both use 255.255.255.0 mask
18:31 mircea_popescu so logically, the outside router is 192.168.0.1, and the inside router 192.168.0.102 in its system. however the public ip address of the inside router is 192.168 >> 1 <<< . 1

20:50 BingoBoingo ^ Maryland v. Indiana should be an interesting game.
20:55 decimation the fact that maryland is in the big ten now his hilarious
20:57 BingoBoingo decimation: Not really considering Illinois managed to stay in. Hilarious will be that in the next 5 years there is going to be a game where Maryland fucks the ever loving shit out of Ohio State.
21:02 BingoBoingo decimation: What drives excitement in the college game is how disproportionately good the great players are in relation to replacement level. Hence Johnny Manziel singlehandedly making A&M competitive or Tevin Coleman avoiding a coma leading the Indiana upset over Missouri lastweekend almost on his own (Missouri's shitty center helped by not knowing how to snap the fucking ball to the quarterback) http://www.thedrinkingrecord.com/

21:04 RagnarDanneskjol you follow SEC/ACC bingo?
21:05 BingoBoingo RagnarDanneskjol: Mostly SEC/Big 12
21:05 BingoBoingo Curse of one of the ALma Maters.
21:05 RagnarDanneskjol me too - they make other divisions look like JV imo
21:06 BingoBoingo For the Most part. On the downside other divisions can produce some ridiculously dominant teams due to the lack of serious threats
21:06 BingoBoingo See: Florida State
21:06 RagnarDanneskjol oh yea
21:07 BingoBoingo But I will admit last week's Mizzou loss, they might as well have fucking lost to Mckendree, another Alma Mater which only joined the NCAA 2 years ago, in D 2
21:08 RagnarDanneskjol right - that was pretty lame
21:09 BingoBoingo But still Tevin Coleman, coming back from a near coma was a beast for Indiana.
21:09 RagnarDanneskjol missed that one
21:10 BingoBoingo Dude sat out the entire second quarter on an oxygen machine, game back the second half. Made game winning plays. Definitely making it into the Nfl if he doesn't get himself killed first.
21:10 RagnarDanneskjol oh wow
21:12 BingoBoingo The dude was on supplemental oxygen though before he came back. Why he didn't fucking cross the street to the hospital(s) you could see on camera I will never know.
21:12 RagnarDanneskjol hmm
21:13 BingoBoingo On the other side Mizzou's quarterback displayed spectacluar gymnastic feats of athleticism... merely getting the ball on completely fucked snaps.
21:13 BingoBoingo Doubt He'll finish the season if they keep that center.
21:15 BingoBoingo You can have a great quarterback, but it doesn't mean much if they have to burn time getting the ball in the first place instead of getting it downfield.
21:15 RagnarDanneskjol exactly
21:17 BingoBoingo But that's a hazard of the College game. Good players lose eligibility. Whereas in the NFL you can pick a position play to within 5lbs and 0.5 inches of the coach's ideal
21:19 RagnarDanneskjol hmm. intersting point. I can't stand pro sports
21:19 BingoBoingo College teams have to keep merely replacement level players from being a handicap.
21:19 RagnarDanneskjol right
21:21 BingoBoingo Well, I like baseball because the great players have the space to make careers. Same for hockey. In the NFL though, I tend to root for players over teams and hope they survive long enough to make it over the sub-two year average career.
21:21 RagnarDanneskjol right - baseball is the exception
21:22 BingoBoingo Right, because Derek Jeter gets to go out with dignity and... Brett Farve after all that CTE can't even continue to grasp hook up etiquette.
21:22 RagnarDanneskjol ha
21:24 BingoBoingo The NBA of course is its own different animal in that it is still recovering from Space Jam, Kazam, and everything but basketball being the center of attention
21:25 BingoBoingo Baseball fucked itself pretty hard by discouraging anyone from liking good players with the PED witchhunt, but... At least it never had a Space Jam.
21:28 BingoBoingo As great as Lebron is, his legacy is going to be compared to the Mega Stars from before the Internet gave such categories serious competition.
21:29 RagnarDanneskjol mhmm
21:29 BingoBoingo Baseball went through this in the 1960's though when neither Marris nor Mantle could be the next Babe Ruth.
21:32 BingoBoingo Creeping up on the NFL (and College Football) is the specter of people prefering to watch games at the bar or at home. Combatting this so far has been teams declaring any Stadium older than 15 years obsolete, but all it takes is one city calling the bluff and chasing their team to Los Angeles for the pressure the NFL exerts to deflate.
21:36 BingoBoingo Then there's the revenue sharing and salary cap shit in the NFL that makes me nauseous... Why should good teams have to disband their core in the same of salary caps? I have no problem with the idea that a Jeter and A Rod-less Yankee team will have Giancarlo Stanton, but salary caps a sa parity tool are even stupider in the NFL where they actually exist as most players careers end within two seasons.

21:45 BingoBoingo I'm coming to terms with my car running out of value to make it worth boating across the Darien
21:48 BingoBoingo So likely the plan may or may not involve hoofing it that stretch and buying another motor vehicle

21:52 asciilifeform the whole fantasy involves a 'hidden fortress' in some shangri-la
21:54 BingoBoingo asciilifeform: And there's the trick. You can't have shangri-la without fresh nubile women, and you can't have a place for them to congregate without a city. By this metric a courtyard between building wings could be all the gultch necessary.
21:55 BingoBoingo Hidden, Fortress, and neither compose a triangle.

22:33 decimation this 'bash bug' is hilarious. one wonders who knew about it for the past few years, and who exploited it unawares...
22:33 asciilifeform decimation: who knew << the author.
22:33 asciilifeform and his handlers.
22:33 kakobrekla dunno if its so easy to claim that
22:33 decimation do we know who the author is?
22:34 asciilifeform kakobrekla: https://www.uwgb.edu/dutchs/PSEUDOSC/WhyNoMiracles.HTM << obligatory

22:34 asciilifeform this essay more or less explains why it is necessary to presume an author, and his handlers.
22:34 asciilifeform even if there is no immediately visible 'smoking gun'
22:35 kakobrekla alright ill take a look
22:35 asciilifeform if you create a 'heartbleed' - you are a вредитель. and whether you did it intentionally, given the impossibility of proof - does not matter.
22:36 asciilifeform 'If you're a defendant, you don't get to claim your fingerprints miraculously appeared at a crime scene... If you're a bookkeeper, you don't get to say money miraculously disappeared from your company...'

22:41 decimation what I find inexplicable is that you find folks in the us who absolutely hate everything about usg policies, in terms of how it mismanages wealth, fails to jail criminals, etc, and yet are willing to serve the military side
22:41 kakobrekla asciilifeform do you claim you can write bugless code (maybe even given the right platform to do it on)
22:42 asciilifeform kakobrekla: yes.
22:42 kakobrekla pft!
22:42 asciilifeform kakobrekla: what, you can't?
22:42 decimation usg is the unintentional beneficiary of a great deal of "I want to make a difference" altruism
22:42 asciilifeform kakobrekla: try, for instance, a bugless 'hello world'
22:42 asciilifeform it isn't too much sweat.
22:42 kakobrekla that one i could manage.
22:42 kakobrekla maybe
22:43 decimation it helps a great deal if the programming language you use guarantees proper memory allocation, bounds checking, etc.
22:44 asciilifeform laugh, laugh. but most of what you expect from your computer is not -mathematically- more complicated than 'hello world.'
22:44 asciilifeform mainly - moving bits from one place to another.
22:44 decimation I became depressed by dijkstra when he demonstrated how impossible it would be to fully check a simple multiplier circuit
22:45 asciilifeform decimation: the cure for this depression is to understand that a machine can be built to be -understood-.
22:45 asciilifeform rather than mathematicized-about.
22:45 assbot Last 3 lines bashed and pending review. ( http://dpaste.com/04MWR5J.txt )
22:45 kakobrekla !b 3
22:46 kakobrekla i know what you are saying dec.
22:46 asciilifeform imagine if the stone age had extended far beyond where it did, and man built gigantic stone swords.
22:46 asciilifeform that needed a squadron of a dozen or more wielders, to swing it at all
22:46 asciilifeform and they would work in synchrony, but of course imperfectly - and occasionally at cross purposes
22:47 asciilifeform or squadron could contain enemy wrecker, imperceptibly and unprovably spoiling a swing
22:47 asciilifeform even the best swings would be from among a very small set of simple strokes.
22:47 asciilifeform then - somebody comes up with metallurgy, creates sword that one man can comfortably swing.
22:48 asciilifeform entire universe of a difference.
22:48 asciilifeform ^ that is the kind of thing i mean by -understandable-.
22:48 decimation the single wielder can certainly explore a larger set of swing-space
22:49 asciilifeform when we are talking about a sword that a man can swing - or a computer system that 'fits' inside a single brain comfortably - this is a fundamental difference.
22:49 asciilifeform like the difference between a shirt that fits and one which does not
22:49 decimation the man 'understands' swinging in a subjective way?
22:49 asciilifeform subjective only in the sense that people vary in size
22:50 asciilifeform and if you really wish to know which 'swordsman' is more comfortable with his tool - let god of war decide.
22:50 decimation well, one could argue that's why the lisp machine died out, right?
22:50 asciilifeform could.
22:50 asciilifeform swordsman can trip on banana peel
22:51 asciilifeform then squadron with stone megacock can feel victorious, vindicated.
22:51 kakobrekla :D
22:52 decimation yeah the lisp machine was carried by only a precious handful of people, who were the enemies of ibm and everyone else who wanted to muscle into the space
22:52 asciilifeform decimation: it is important to understand that lm was a specialist instrument - like the most elaborate electron microscope.
22:52 asciilifeform it made no attempt to compete with, e.g., ibm anything
22:52 asciilifeform existed in entirely separate universe
22:53 asciilifeform just as 'bentley' does not compete with 'toyota'
22:53 decimation ibm/wintel happened to pave over their niche though
22:53 decimation plus symbolics decided to waste their money on california real estate or some such craziness
22:53 asciilifeform toyota may in some sense with it could 'pave over' bentley, but reality does not care about this
22:54 asciilifeform it is hilarious to read about all of the various nicks, bruises, paper cuts found on the corpse of symbolics corp.
22:54 asciilifeform while ignoring the bullet hole in its head
22:54 decimation what is the 'bullet hole'?
22:54 asciilifeform (withdrawal of the infinite usg money it relied on - directly, and indirectly - through the major clients being usg ops)
22:55 asciilifeform 'artist picked the wrong medici'
22:55 decimation yeah makes sense. intel, being of silicon valley, was always a little more insulated from usg
22:56 decimation its clients all were all arms of usg, but it wasn't directly supported by usg
22:56 asciilifeform intel did not instrinsically - by its very nature - rely on rich prince
22:56 asciilifeform symbolics - did
22:56 asciilifeform because it was not selling a plebe product.
22:56 asciilifeform go and try market a scanning electron microscope for consumer market.
22:57 decimation rich princes being famous for their fickle tastes

22:58 asciilifeform the other interesting observation is that lm in 1980s was expensive for far different reason than it would be today
22:58 asciilifeform and it would be far more expensive today!
22:59 asciilifeform then - the sheer quantity of logic necessary.
23:00 asciilifeform why it would be quite expensive today - i'll leave as an exercise for anyone still awake.
23:00 BingoBoingo why it would be quite expensive today - i'll leave as an exercise for anyone still awake. << People who could make it, exceedingly expensive today if hired for the task of making it.
23:01 asciilifeform nope.
23:01 * asciilifeform could easily make, and would work for room & board
23:01 decimation logic is much cheaper
23:02 BingoBoingo asciilifeform could easily make, and would work for room & board << Because you love the idea of it
23:02 decimation one would become an enemy of the wintel bezzle lords
23:02 asciilifeform the reason is entirely mundane
23:03 decimation although that has not stopped arm
23:03 asciilifeform if you had a truly clean break with the age of turdware -
23:03 asciilifeform there would be a market for about six machines.
23:03 asciilifeform divide the r&d and production cost by that figure. that's how much each unit would have to cost to... break even.
23:03 decimation ah, you would have to rewrite bezzle wintel software stack
23:03 asciilifeform forget even this
23:03 asciilifeform you'd have to come up with your own... dram
23:04 decimation heh yeah
23:04 asciilifeform bus topology
23:04 asciilifeform etc
23:04 decimation I would throw ddr in the trash
23:04 asciilifeform i've argued in the past that you have to ditch... binary. if you want to be rid of the 'floating point' abomination.
23:05 asciilifeform likewise, for dataflow cpu fabric (the only truly reasonable way to build a computer) - existing logic synthesis methods are unsuitable.
23:05 decimation oh yeah, so I was thinking about why people use floating point to answer mp's question
23:05 BingoBoingo So... the ferguson thing looks like it might turn into open war...
23:05 asciilifeform even the gate libraries used by extant semiconductor fab houses would have to be thrown.

23:18 asciilifeform again, unrelated.
