00:06 ben_vulpes cazalla: did you hear back from Conformal about the machines they used to come to their 32MB steady-state conclusion?
00:06 cazalla ben_vulpes, forgot about that, i'll do it now
00:06 mircea_popescu for that matter, who from conformal was here ? i forget
00:08 decimation every once in awhile I jones for dayZ, anyone here every play it?
00:08 ben_vulpes this "pruned blockchain" notion sounds dangerous.

00:09 assbot Autoprune by rdponticelli Pull Request #4701 bitcoin/bitcoin GitHub
00:09 mircea_popescu ben_vulpes it's a lousy fix for a serious problem that "doesn't exist" because logics
00:09 ben_vulpes what is the actual serious problem?
00:09 decimation I like how on one had the sky is falling so we need bigger blocks, but on the other hand the sky is falling so we need a smaller blockchain
00:09 mircea_popescu but hey, i know, since we solved the blocksize through autopruning, we can make blocks one trilobyte long!
00:09 decimation heh
00:10 mircea_popescu decimation notice the typically usg sort of arguing involved.
00:10 mircea_popescu i mean it's ridoinculous, a five year old can smell the shit, yet supposedly pointing it out is somehow controversial and wildly speculative

00:11 ben_vulpes can't run with a wallet in pruned mode?
00:11 mircea_popescu anyway, asciilifeform's orignal "microscope, monkeys" is exceptionally apt, when it comes to "bitcoin scientists"
00:12 mircea_popescu and to think the guy went to princeton!
00:12 decimation who, gavin?

00:12 mircea_popescu yeah.
00:12 mircea_popescu ben_vulpes what do you think this prhttps interface is
00:12 decimation well, satoshi's original judgement was that these guys were pigfuckers, see ya later
00:13 mircea_popescu decimation you can imagine his cold cold sweat once he finally figured out who exactly the "enthusiastic early adopters" were.
00:13 ben_vulpes prhttps?
00:13 mircea_popescu quite a soviet moment.
00:14 mircea_popescu ben_vulpes look in logs, your last few lines ?

00:15 ben_vulpes i've yet to set it up myself
00:15 ben_vulpes but it's on the roadmap for 2015
00:15 mircea_popescu ben_vulpes two typos, and since it was consistent it made me curious :D
00:15 decimation yeah I always liked konqueror becuase it would just open a file as an arg
00:16 ben_vulpes i finally got helm dialed in (and oh my god, i didn't know that emacs could get that much better
00:16 decimation what's helm do?

00:17 decimation ido kinda sucks honestly, it's matching is dumb

00:26 mircea_popescu ben_vulpes it's kind of the intention, but it does not really work
00:27 mircea_popescu (ie, it's unevenly enforced)
00:28 ben_vulpes as in p2p messages exceed 32mb in practice?
00:28 ben_vulpes decimation: why do you ask?
00:29 mircea_popescu as in sometimes they do, more or less impredictably so.
00:31 decimation ben_vulpes: just cause. I find it quite useful, the best personal organizer I have tried
00:32 ben_vulpes decimation: i used it for time tracking before we started using harvest

00:38 decimation well to be fair she was just a reviewer
00:38 decimation she might have said 'this sucks'
00:38 mircea_popescu one that somehow forgot to come by and say "hey check out the derpage"
00:38 decimation good point
00:38 mircea_popescu and if she did say this sucks, i have no way to know. which isn't consistent with the "smart" rating, sadly.

00:40 mircea_popescu but as a general moral of the thing, one's best be careful to post on their blog trashing idiots like us* or else they risk appearing in victorious tweets like "oh noes, 5 economists reviewed this!!!", which is exactly how the empire works.
00:43 ben_vulpes how would i get the size of an arbitrary block?
00:45 mircea_popescu getBlockSize() ?
00:45 ben_vulpes ty mircea_popescu
00:50 decimation I don't even get how gavin's post is an economic argument
00:50 ben_vulpes mircea_popescu: do messages of less than 32 MB transmit regularly? are you aware of a discernable phase boundary for transmission reliability?
00:50 decimation other than "the network would be more valuable if it did more transactions per second"
00:50 mircea_popescu no, which is why i've been sayin'...
00:51 mircea_popescu decimation it IS an economic argument. it goes like so
00:51 mircea_popescu "we do not want to die."
00:51 decimation heh
00:51 mircea_popescu it's just not either brought honestly nor signed by its authors.
00:51 decimation the assertions he makes neglect a large pile of real-world costs
00:52 mircea_popescu they are like the usual assetions of the <del>socialist</del> five year old : they neglect everything except for what he wants.
00:52 mircea_popescu and therefore MUST HAVE!!!1
00:52 decimation that's exactly how it reads
00:53 mircea_popescu people tend to forget just how self-defeating idiocy is.

00:59 asciilifeform pruning << the shitgnomes don't dare a hardfork. so they'll happily try a 'lossy softfork' - see how much functionality can be degraded (in this case, how much of the blockchain can be alzheimered) without hardforking.
01:00 mircea_popescu sooo... mah router just got attacked ;/
01:01 mircea_popescu asciilifeform myeah, "anything that isn't bolted down" or how did it go.
01:05 asciilifeform anything that isn't bolted down, will be shaken loose. very soon.
01:05 asciilifeform and little gnomes, covered in shit, will silently scurry away with it.
01:06 mircea_popescu it's not really shit
01:06 mircea_popescu you just don't understand how the world works.
01:06 asciilifeform i can't help but wonder what our little friends the gnomes chat about amongst themselves.
01:06 asciilifeform when we aren't looking and the lights are out.
01:06 mircea_popescu the world.
01:06 mircea_popescu and how you don't understand it.
01:06 asciilifeform what do they talk about under their buggery blankets
01:06 asciilifeform nah that's on the stage
01:06 decimation it's interesting that they would go so far as to pay someone to attack sites
01:07 mircea_popescu decimation i very much doubt there's any relation there.
01:07 mircea_popescu one can well piss off different groups of idiots you know.
01:07 decimation true
01:08 mircea_popescu now, sure all the idiots in the end are fed out of the same through
01:08 mircea_popescu so one could argue they're the same group in the end. but anyway.
01:08 asciilifeform there are two troughs.
01:08 mircea_popescu maybe they should paint foodstamps in different colors
01:08 asciilifeform out of one, the useful idiots are fed. the ones who actually swallow it all.
01:09 mircea_popescu asciilifeform in this case, i actually meant money.
01:09 asciilifeform out of the other - the 'full spectrum dominance' folks who know exactly what they're doing.
01:09 asciilifeform the ones who've not only smelled but stoked the ovens.
01:09 decimation I don't think they are involved here
01:09 decimation why would they show up in irc?
01:09 mircea_popescu i very much doubt they exist at all.
01:10 asciilifeform decimation: why would such dignified folks show up in person. represented by idiots of the first kind, in nearly all cases.
01:10 mircea_popescu but this is evolving towards a rehash of the meta-nsa discussion we've really done to death
01:10 asciilifeform there's an inexhaustible supply of them, after all
01:10 asciilifeform aha
01:11 mircea_popescu the islant of smart bureaucrats is like ten miles off the island of the amazons
01:11 mircea_popescu those mythical women that are perpetually hawt and perpetually alone.
01:11 * asciilifeform does not believe in free-range sheeple. or rather, is quite certain that they've been extinct since some time prior to, say, babylon. and the only kind of sheeple to be found today are in meat processing plants - which can only exist if there are eaters.
01:11 decimation with monkeys bombarding them with poo
01:11 mircea_popescu eaters, yes.
01:12 mircea_popescu asciilifeform considere the case of the farming ants. are the ants intelligent ? no. are the teats of the bugs milked in time ? yes.
01:12 mircea_popescu nature is economical.
01:12 mircea_popescu especially with intelligence.
01:13 asciilifeform even if a figure like jamie dimon is more analogous to an insect queen than to a 'secret hitler' -
01:13 asciilifeform still, we have an eater.
01:13 asciilifeform or rather, a set.
01:13 decimation asciilifeform: the concluding question being: in front of which chumpatron's maw do you wish to graze?
01:14 asciilifeform hm?
01:15 decimation how do you escape the factory and roam free?
01:16 asciilifeform ask limonov
01:16 decimation or maybe that templeos guy
01:16 asciilifeform (who, it appears, believes that organized stampede is the answer. well, doesn't really believe it answers the puzzle, but thinks it wrong not to at least try)
01:17 mircea_popescu organised stampede ? lol.
01:17 mircea_popescu if you can do that, why stop there ? make round cubes,
01:17 asciilifeform templeos << terry davis is a 'stainless steel rat.' just, a more skilled one than i am
01:17 mircea_popescu heck, made perpetuum mobile and everything else.
01:17 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: fried ice!
01:17 asciilifeform (arabic?)
01:17 mircea_popescu definitely.
01:18 mircea_popescu low calorie milk, greaseless oil, all the good stuff.
01:18 asciilifeform dried water.
01:18 mircea_popescu organised stampede indeed.
01:18 decimation asciilifeform: mancur olson lived somewhere nearby. he pretty much came to the same conclusion
01:18 mircea_popescu but incidentally : i have for the past hour been writing on this piece
01:18 mircea_popescu which i think will be pretty shattery. roughly same topic.
01:19 asciilifeform decimation: j. c. scott's 'art of not being governed' (related)
01:20 decimation I like how any book worth reading is now warez
01:21 decimation I feel the compulsion to collect them in case 1984
01:21 asciilifeform well, any book in ru
01:21 decimation heh
01:21 asciilifeform i've ~80GB here.
01:21 asciilifeform and that's... plain ascii.
01:21 asciilifeform compressed.
01:21 asciilifeform (!)
01:21 decimation asciilifeform: what is the ru copyright law? do they thumb their nose at the bern convention
01:21 decimation that's alot of books
01:21 undata libgen.org?

01:22 undata seems to have everything
01:22 asciilifeform decimation: complicated.
01:23 asciilifeform decimation: on paper, 1990s oligarchs sold even the pre-copyright-era (ussr to 1974) works to various pissants
01:23 asciilifeform but in practice, there is iron resistance
01:23 mircea_popescu <decimation> I feel the compulsion to collect them in case 1984 << you are doing a good thing.
01:23 decimation as in, no one recognizes the 'property rights' of the pissants?
01:23 asciilifeform ru folks (the thinking kind) collect warez as a matter of principle.
01:24 asciilifeform and of pragmatic. never know when might need to make a trade.
01:24 undata why did p2p seem to stall at bittorrent?
01:24 asciilifeform ?
01:24 undata I guess tribler's working on a tor fork
01:24 decimation what's wrong with bittorent?
01:25 undata decimation: what would be wrong with some anonymity in the mix?
01:25 decimation well, it wasn't an design goal
01:25 asciilifeform 'property rights' of the pissants << gotta understand the inevitable reaction when people move a property boundary. and especially when they move it, as if they owned the universe, straight through your brain, wishing to cut off half
01:25 undata decimation: that's what's wrong with bittorrent.
01:26 mircea_popescu undata listen, you're misdesigning here. the "privacy" angle is not to be solved at the tool level.
01:26 decimation asciilifeform: yeah sounds legit
01:26 mircea_popescu what the fuck would awk be if someone tried to rewrite it to include privacy ?
01:26 mircea_popescu you want privacy, get a vm.
01:26 mircea_popescu you want private use of a hammer, wear gloves.
01:27 mircea_popescu don't try to buy a special, "private" hammer.
01:27 decimation I'm not really sure how one could 'design privacy' while simultaneously expecting to correspond with whoever comes down the street
01:27 * undata googles bitcoin seedbox
01:27 undata mircea_popescu: still I can run tor *here*
01:27 mircea_popescu sure, you can do whatever you please.
01:28 decimation asciilifeform: but the situation is even worse in the us, why do the 'thinking folk' seem to accept it as some kind of bedrock of civilization?
01:28 asciilifeform decimation: anyone ask them? (do you remember being asked? i don't)
01:29 decimation heh good point
01:29 undata mircea_popescu: an anonymous p2p network would permanently solve the copyright thing; those guys can always go after the seedbox hosts
01:29 decimation it's a weird quirk of their particular abbatoir
01:30 undata I've used i2p for various things
01:30 undata good but utterly slow

01:31 undata no, I'm not.
01:32 undata right now there is a nonzero risk (in the US) that you get outed by your ISP and end up paying loads
01:32 undata why would dropping that risk to negligible be doing nothing?
01:32 mircea_popescu ...
01:33 mircea_popescu somewhere your thinking's broken but i don't readily spot where. wtf are you on about, "dropping that risk to nigligible" ?
01:33 mircea_popescu you ARE running forbidden app x, right ?
01:33 mircea_popescu how did it become the case in us of fuckyou that you can be fined for using the internet ?
01:33 undata the laws aren't against the app
01:34 undata they're against pulling down copyrighted material
01:34 mircea_popescu cause the same fucking process can work again
01:34 mircea_popescu uh.
01:34 asciilifeform the copyrasty problem will find its 'final solution' in a rather elegant, if traumatic, way. the various american 'industries' that form the brain & body of copyrasty (film, music, dead tree publishing) will be done in by the banal fact of their customers having nothing to spend.
01:34 asciilifeform this is also known as 'every tumour stops growing eventually.'
01:35 undata I fail to see the problem with helping that death along.
01:35 mircea_popescu asciilifeform that's not my perspective, though we don't disagree. in my view of the matter, they will be done in by the fact that the intersection of thinking people and copyright observers will become the null set.
01:35 asciilifeform it's already a mostly null set
01:35 mircea_popescu undata well there's no problem with helping it along, but your proposed measures have the opposite effect ?
01:35 mircea_popescu asciilifeform that being the only reason it still survives as a going concern.
01:35 undata mircea_popescu: by causing a "no p2p app x" law?
01:35 undata it'd never happen
01:36 mircea_popescu undata no. by acting as if the usg actually has some sort of power or importance.
01:36 undata any more than they can ban tor
01:36 mircea_popescu see the scabbard quote above.
01:36 mircea_popescu you have any idea how many of these "it'll never happen"s i heard ?
01:36 undata the us govt *made* tor
01:36 mircea_popescu here's a good one : it'll never happen that they'll send people to prison for fixing software.
01:37 decimation mircea_popescu: I'm sure there are bureaucrats that would love to do exactly that
01:37 undata this assumes they can do anything
01:37 mircea_popescu decimation no, it's happened already.
01:37 mircea_popescu see the famous case of that neonazi kid whatever his name is
01:37 undata they haven't gotten anything done in 20 years
01:37 mircea_popescu undata they've not gotten anything intelligent done in 20 years. plenty of idiocy got done tho.
01:38 undata I think it would be fantastic to have an appified (derped) way of downloading game of thrones
01:38 mircea_popescu well so make it, i guess.
01:38 undata if only to kill the revenue of game of thrones-ing
01:38 mircea_popescu asciilifeform incidentally : you know what "solid earner" died the exact death you describe ? buffett's "discount stamps"
01:39 mircea_popescu exactly that way : its customers ended up on food stamps :D
01:39 asciilifeform thar we go.
01:40 asciilifeform in the near term - usa is stage for 'demolition derby' of everything and anything - good, bad - which depends on the typical man on the street having spending money.
01:40 mircea_popescu undata anyway, you're equivocating two things here. on one hand, you'll find exactly zero support here for the proposition that someone should make money off the writings of dead authors ; on the other hand, you'll find exactly zero support here for the theory that you should be able to play any computer game you wish without having to pay the company that made it anything.
01:40 mircea_popescu this equivocation would be the other, smaller reason copyrights still survive.

01:41 undata he could pay once, then host it himself
01:41 mircea_popescu and get sued.
01:42 undata my point is there's always a way, and that fact doesn't necessarily stop good content
01:42 mircea_popescu but your point doesn't work, seeing how... there isn't a way.
01:42 undata there are shit-fountains in the us I'd love to help wreck.
01:42 asciilifeform how many mircea_popescu ends up suing every week ?
01:42 mircea_popescu you just need better methods.
01:42 mircea_popescu asciilifeform that didn't parse.
01:42 asciilifeform ah
01:43 asciilifeform how often somebody opens unauthorized mirror
01:43 undata well, something which does more damage to the fountain the more people want the shit seems fun
01:43 undata maybe it's not the above, but something
01:43 mircea_popescu asciilifeform it's never happened, cuz why would somebody.

01:46 decimation If there's a bridge that you voted against and the gov't built anyway, would you use it?
01:46 * mircea_popescu is interested by this suddenly unexpected turn.
01:47 asciilifeform decimation: i use it. (literally.)
01:47 mircea_popescu decimation what if i say "no" ?
01:48 kakobrekla this is a rehash of dignity of downed pilots
01:48 asciilifeform 'spread yer legs & think of england'
01:48 decimation it's not really a logic puzzle
01:48 undata decimation: I do not vote.
01:48 mircea_popescu decimation well you had something in mind with it ?
01:48 undata except with money
01:48 asciilifeform downed pilots with dignity - have poor life expectancy.
01:48 decimation I would use the bridge, for simple pragmatic reasons
01:48 kakobrekla hehe
01:49 mircea_popescu but how does it relate ?
01:49 mircea_popescu !up Mikayla
01:49 decimation copyright enforcement is the unwanted bridge
01:49 mircea_popescu and suppose i have a toilet in my house that instead of the usual seat has a penis shaped stick to sit on ?
01:49 decimation that would make it difficult to take a shit
01:49 asciilifeform mircea_popescu stole all my inventions straight from me head!!
01:49 mircea_popescu i suppose that's the ultimate girl toilet, what is all this "lift the seat, lower the seat" bs.
01:50 mircea_popescu just impale yourself and that's that.
01:50 undata in my case, I will never file a software patent.
01:50 undata that bridge can fuck itself
01:50 asciilifeform i've been advocating the stakeoilet for years!

01:52 mircea_popescu asciilifeform incidentally, does pet ever go to spa ?
01:52 asciilifeform nein
01:52 mircea_popescu actually, better q, do they even have spas where you live.
01:53 asciilifeform if it's the place with the peculiar chair fixtures, yes
01:53 decimation I've been told that many 'massage parlors' in maryland are in fact brothels
01:53 undata better stated, the only owned information is a secret
01:53 asciilifeform i was informed the function is called 'happy-ending' here
01:53 asciilifeform and one can ask for it by code name

01:54 mircea_popescu why not ?
01:54 decimation the power of jesus compels me.
01:54 mircea_popescu listen, if smart people don't fuck whores, the poor girls are left with a very poor impression of maledom
01:54 mircea_popescu it's the duty of any gentleman to fuck a whore at least yearly.
01:54 assbot Last 2 lines bashed and pending review. ( http://dpaste.com/363E6XZ.txt )

01:55 mircea_popescu well, gives you something to aspire to.
01:55 mircea_popescu (gentleman scholar might also use fingers)
01:55 * asciilifeform waits to get shot down over island of whores
01:56 mircea_popescu you'd make them a cardano ?
01:56 asciilifeform would try.
01:56 asciilifeform out of local materials.
01:56 decimation once in my youth I intercepted a business deal between a hooker and a john using a scanner in the portable-phone frequency range
01:56 mircea_popescu "and this, my dear girls, is how you make a cnc mill out of menstrual blood"
01:56 asciilifeform can't be too much harder than - here.
01:56 * asciilifeform can't help but remember beloved childhood book, 'mysterious island'
01:57 mircea_popescu decimation seriously, it's unsanitary, this. take the world back, man!
01:57 mircea_popescu allllll of it.
01:57 decimation I suspected that she resided in the neighboring trailer park
01:58 mircea_popescu im sure there must be some nice ones too, somewhere.
01:58 undata not in maryland
01:58 mircea_popescu no wai.
01:58 decimation I'm sure there are high-class hookers somewhere in wash dc, but I suspect they also charge $$$
01:58 mircea_popescu so what, you'd rather pay mortgage ?
01:59 mircea_popescu incidentally, anyone know the etymology of that term ?
01:59 decimation yeah, you see, that's 'moral'
01:59 decimation 'on the pain of death'
01:59 mircea_popescu cause it quite literally says, "tribute to death"
01:59 asciilifeform in usa, whore market, as i understand, has very tight coupling between product grade and price.
01:59 decimation when one signs up for a 30 year mortgage it's pretty easy to imagine death coming first
02:00 mircea_popescu asciilifeform actually, usa is one of the few places where the girls do pro bono work.
02:00 mircea_popescu bezzle influence. they will charge a derpy usg bureaucrat 2k for an hour, and then take three dudes at some party
02:00 mircea_popescu where they all got drunk on her money.
02:00 * asciilifeform hasn't much to add, because to him whores may as well be those wonderful creatures that leave in the 'sea chimneys' at the bottom of the ocean.
02:01 undata asciilifeform: man don't put that on your dick...
02:01 mircea_popescu whores in poorer countries are much more careful to charge all entrants.

02:05 decimation re:mortgages << walking around london I was surprised to learn that this is less common, much of london is owned by the crown directly
02:05 decimation so instead property is leased 1000 year terms
02:05 asciilifeform not entirely unlike u.s. 'fee simple.'
02:06 decimation right, I think it would be more honest for us 'fee simple' to convert to 'crown leases'
02:06 asciilifeform go try not paying the crown lease, err, property tax, in usa
02:06 decimation at least then you would be signing a contract rather than just paying thieves
02:06 mircea_popescu entirely nominalistic argument anyway
02:06 asciilifeform aha.
02:06 mircea_popescu decimation unless you both have equal armies, neither of you is signing any contracts.
02:06 decimation ghengis kahn wouldn't bother with a contract either
02:06 asciilifeform call it gang rape, or 'rejuvenative cock therapy', same concept
02:08 mircea_popescu in romanian, gang means, "underpass". and for a while i thought that's what it meant, rape occuring in such a place
02:08 decimation lol
02:09 mircea_popescu only after a while it occurred to me that wait a second, not like these people could know that ?! wtf ?!
02:09 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: consider, e.g., Notzucht.
02:09 mircea_popescu then i discovered that no, the overpass is not material.
02:09 asciilifeform very interesting etymology, the germans.
02:10 decimation that's pretty much the same as german
02:10 mircea_popescu "Sexualisierte Gewalt"
02:10 mircea_popescu notice the -ierte. sexualised.
02:10 asciilifeform who hasn't seen a sign, marked, 'notausgang' - emergency exit
02:10 decimation heh
02:10 decimation romanian must have borrowed it, or vice versa
02:11 mircea_popescu decimation pretty sure romanian stole it.
02:11 asciilifeform 'emergency breeding'
02:11 mircea_popescu speaking of romanians raping words (which is what they do) : patent in romanian means a type of pliers.
02:12 decimation gang (n.) from Old English gang "a going, journey, way, passage," and Old Norse gangr "a group of men, a set," both from Proto-Germanic *gangaz (cognates: Old Saxon, Old Frisian, Danish, Dutch, Old High German, German gang, Old Norse gangr, Gothic gagg "act of going"), from PIE root *ghengh- "to step" (cognates: Sanskrit jangha "shank," Avestan zanga- "ankle," Lithuanian zengiu "I stride"). Thus not considered to be related to go.
02:13 asciilifeform gang aft a'gley.
02:13 decimation linguistics is really interesting stuff
02:13 decimation it boggles my mind that german is related to sanskrit
02:13 mircea_popescu why ?!
02:13 decimation I guess it's my built-in 'present bias'
02:14 asciilifeform and man, to mold, doesn't boggle ?
02:14 decimation but everything comes from something
02:14 mircea_popescu all happened before the 1900 middle ages ? :)

07:43 cazalla who did best
07:43 Adlai the group that used their presentation chance the next week to advertise a local management consulting firm

16:29 mircea_popescu o hey so it's good to go punkman ?
16:29 punkbot punkman: Queued 1 valid deed for next bundle.
16:29 punkman mircea_popescu: aya, try it
16:29 punkman *aye
16:30 mircea_popescu splendid. anything it doesn't do of the spec ?
16:30 punkman it hashes bundles in two stages, so you don't have to keep the full bundle around
16:31 mircea_popescu how's that work ?
16:31 mircea_popescu holy shit that Mikayla chick is in the wot now ?!
16:32 mircea_popescu ;;rated mikayla
16:32 gribble You have not yet rated user mikayla
16:32 punkman deeds are sha256 hashed, hash is b58encoded, b58encoded hashes of all deeds are joined with ",", that string is sha256'd again and that's the private key
16:32 mircea_popescu ;;rate mikayla 1 smart woman stuck in modest circumstances. help her get out.

16:33 mircea_popescu punkman hm. this is actually an improvement on my spec. who ever thought such possible!
16:33 mircea_popescu so now, you just gotta keep the bundle set of hashes, and if someone wants to prove his stuff was there, well, bring something that hashes to the hash ?

16:35 punkbot punkman: Queued 1 valid deed for next bundle.
16:35 mircea_popescu a dozen or so hashes to choose from don't really give any advantage
16:35 mircea_popescu yeah, this is an improvement.
16:35 mircea_popescu asciilifeform nah original spec called for keeping all the deeds, as a sort of primitive distributed backup
16:35 asciilifeform aha hm.
16:36 punkman anyone wants to keep a mirror, I'll make the thing push bundles to you
16:36 punkman or maybe I just make an rss feed, possibly filtered by keyid
16:36 mircea_popescu punkman if you want a dyi mirror, i can give you a cpanel ?
16:36 mircea_popescu rss feed excellent idea.
16:36 mircea_popescu so mod6 ben_vulpes, do we have a charter to go in there ?
16:37 punkman Ragnar will run a mirror on somethin.deedbot.com

16:51 mircea_popescu jurov use it directly to post as a mail list ?
16:51 mircea_popescu punkman how hard would it be to make it next comments ?
16:51 mircea_popescu nest*
16:53 jurov i'd prefer to get real email
16:53 mircea_popescu i wonder how this'd be best approached.
16:53 jurov and i don't see a value iin redoing the browsable archives that mailman generates
16:54 ben_vulpes no sense tangling things
16:54 jurov you want to set in stone only the patches themselves, no?
16:54 mircea_popescu yea maybe the best approach here is staying home
16:55 ben_vulpes should anyone *want* to endeedify their patch, they're welcome to.

16:55 asciilifeform i'd say it would be wise to have the 'who/what' cemented in some form.
16:55 mircea_popescu asciilifeform well, if the jurovman only accepts inbound from lordsheep list...
16:56 mircea_popescu it is cemented in a pretty good form
16:56 jurov i think the request was to prevent later posting of modified (and newly signed) patches by someone
16:57 asciilifeform aha.
16:57 mircea_popescu so then who/what/when more like ?
16:57 jurov autoendeedify can be done in v2 turdatron
16:57 mircea_popescu lol
16:57 asciilifeform when << yes.
16:57 mircea_popescu ;;ud autoendeedify
16:57 gribble Google found nothing.
16:58 mircea_popescu google you know jack shit.
16:59 asciilifeform as per kakobrekla's stern warning some weeks ago, a full-bore approach (complete with future gallows) for shitgnomes has the flipside of needing to ensure against ending up swinging there by mistake.
17:00 asciilifeform 'shall be delivered.'
17:01 asciilifeform at any rate, it seems like we're on the path to a 'patch-chain' - so no chance of authorship being permanently obscured, unless everyone somehow manages to lose his backup
17:02 jurov btw if other people will sign a concrete patch, that prevents later diddling anyway
17:03 mircea_popescu ^
17:03 asciilifeform the signed patches should provide watertight alibis for the innocent, and unquestionable smoking guns for the guilty - but a sufficiently 'pants and suspenders' approach should send a message to enemy against even trying.
17:03 jurov mpd6 the statutes say nothing of treasurer and his remuneration

17:04 mod6 yeah, i think it was decided that we'd put that in a seperate document.

17:10 kakobrekla dun worry ascii he is not in level 2
17:10 mircea_popescu asciilifeform i'd rate him and so there we go.
17:10 asciilifeform kakobrekla: just that, at this point, his key ought to be presumed as belonging to his executioner.
17:10 mod6 need to figure out if we should add in jurov or what's happening there. then we need a pub address.
17:10 mircea_popescu mod6 what's ben_vulpes say ?
17:11 kakobrekla asciilifeform at which exact point this presumption should be applied?
17:11 asciilifeform kakobrekla: the 64kbtc question.
17:11 kakobrekla hehe
17:11 mircea_popescu i personally dun see it.
17:12 asciilifeform this would be a most peculiar time for mr. s to come back from the dead.
17:12 kakobrekla anyway, this signature thing does not make one trust another blindly
17:12 kakobrekla so check code.
17:12 asciilifeform attribution is the magic word here, not trust.
17:12 mircea_popescu undata: and they will spend it how? << don't be silly. every place with intenret has a bitcoin trader by now.
17:12 kakobrekla you can only flag key, not person.
17:13 mircea_popescu how do you think they have phones ? tshirts ?
17:13 mod6 <+mircea_popescu> mod6 what's ben_vulpes say ? << contract afterwards essentially, meanwhile waiting to hear back, just got back. trying to catch up
17:13 mircea_popescu kakobrekla has it.
17:13 asciilifeform 'business with keys, sex with people'
17:13 kakobrekla maybe his executioner writes even better code, on linux.
17:13 asciilifeform selinux.
17:13 kakobrekla whatever
17:13 mircea_popescu maybe all his executioner really wanted is to impress us.

17:13 mircea_popescu it's been known to happen.
17:14 mircea_popescu nubbins`: that's actually not bad, only ~425 pages << and suddenly, a feasible appears!

17:15 mircea_popescu TheNewDeal: but is it likely << somewhat likely yes.
17:15 mircea_popescu the reason bullet to the head kills is it tumbles,
17:15 mircea_popescu and the reason .38 is better bullet to head than 45 is same
17:15 mircea_popescu asciilifeform what'd you do with a time machine ?
17:15 asciilifeform no tumbling at close range. shockwave - yes.
17:16 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: what'd you do with a time machine << lol, obviously, hop in

17:39 kakobrekla just wait for the google to parse logs
17:39 mircea_popescu not user friendly.
17:40 kakobrekla the logs? myea.
17:42 mircea_popescu asciilifeform: ideally, we'd have a patch and a collection of detached sigs of the plain ascii of the patch <<< detached sigs are in fact a reimplementation of the old punch cards
17:42 mircea_popescu god fucking help you if you drop a stack
17:43 asciilifeform don't drop the stack.
17:43 asciilifeform 'doctor, it hurts!'
17:43 mircea_popescu the drop callback is in the stack api.
17:43 bounce "here, have some pills"
17:43 mircea_popescu you don't want me to drop it, do not put it in there.
17:44 asciilifeform till we have a gpg that clearsigns without escape char mutilation - we got this.
17:44 mircea_popescu how would it do that ?
17:44 asciilifeform if i knew - we'd have it.
17:44 mircea_popescu see ? god hates us.
17:45 mircea_popescu where's your baby jesus now, decimation ?
17:45 asciilifeform one possible method - toss the sig in the head of the file
17:45 mircea_popescu asciilifeform how about fixed offset and padding ?
17:45 asciilifeform applicable, in that scheme, to the remainder after the ------END...
17:45 mircea_popescu clearsigned file, always 16kb long, after which the signed matter begins
17:46 mircea_popescu you know, thinking about this, i think i actyally want pgp reimplemented. usgavin's speshul maths about how things improve make me realise that having a pure rsa based code rather than the current encode a symmetric chypher method is perhaps feasible.
17:47 mircea_popescu add to that a fixed-offset clearsigned thing, all of a sudden there's good reason to implement
17:47 asciilifeform http://pastebin.com/PGQhLqnL << example
17:47 assbot -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.19 (GNU/Linux) iQEcBAEBAgA - Pastebin.com
17:47 bounce why do you want pure rsa?
17:48 mircea_popescu bounce because i can.
17:48 bounce that's the technology equivalent of "hold my beer and watch this"
17:48 Apocalyptic by the way are SHA1 gpg-signed messages considered read ? I read somewhere one might rather use sha256 or higher, don't know if there's any merit to that claim
17:48 Apocalyptic s/read/safe
17:49 asciilifeform bunchafolks have old keys (incl. yours truly)
17:49 bounce sha1 is on the way out (don't use for new stuff) but not dead yet (can keep using what you have)
17:49 mircea_popescu asciilifeform not even. more like this : http://pastebin.com/JUAH07uY

17:49 thestringpuller asciilifeform: your otc key?
17:49 mircea_popescu in that example, a 256 byte fixed sigspace.
17:49 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: same idea
17:49 mircea_popescu yup.
17:50 asciilifeform fixed - bad, not everyone has same key length
17:50 mircea_popescu file is defined as, 256bytes + "##### The following is signed above :"+message.
17:50 mircea_popescu asciilifeform you pad .
17:50 mircea_popescu hence original 16kb.
17:50 asciilifeform also eol char variation derpery
17:50 mircea_popescu no special chars honored. it's all armored.
17:51 asciilifeform aye, but then why fixed byte strings
17:51 mircea_popescu Apocalyptic not considered read, but weak digest. good idea to upgrade.
17:51 mircea_popescu asciilifeform to make it as independent as possible ?
17:51 mircea_popescu much simpler machines to work it if it knows a straight offset
17:52 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: that's not the issue. just about everyone is putting ascii through some raper that mutilates unprintables (www browsers, toy operating systems, etc)
17:52 asciilifeform this wouldn't be a problem except if you have fixed fields
17:52 asciilifeform which will frame-shift as the contents get procrusted by the idiot code
17:53 Apocalyptic just noticed that all deeds processed by deadbot are SHA1-hashed so far
17:54 Apocalyptic which is what gpg produces by default I guess
17:54 asciilifeform see the 'broken glass' discussion earlier, also.
17:55 asciilifeform most folks never try 'gnawing through the leather straps,' but once you do - you learn how thick they are.
17:57 mircea_popescu asciilifeform obviously, since fixed length, it can go back to the end of the file.
17:57 mircea_popescu proggy gets 65kb file, cuts 16k off its end recursively, spits out 1kb of text signed by 4 people
17:57 mircea_popescu and again, armored. nothing but letters and digits in there. not even +/ etc.
17:58 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: when idiot www crud or os (anywhere in the chain) starts gnawing at your line endings, or adding line noise, you blow the fixed frame
17:58 mircea_popescu how ?
17:58 mircea_popescu !s sha1
17:58 assbot 30 results for 'sha1' : http://search.bitcoin-assets.com/?q=sha1

17:59 assbot Logged on 16-10-2014 14:00:51; mircea_popescu: btw, cazalla bingoboingo and everyone else in the same situation : if the blob gpg spits out when you sign contains a SHA1 you are using the older, and perhaps not all that secure digest algo. you should move on to sha512 either with --digest-algo SHA512 or else edit gpg.conf to insert personal-digest-preferences SHA512 SHA384 SHA256
17:59 Apocalyptic mircea_popescu, I just found that line to fix the issue, but thank you
18:00 mircea_popescu asciilifeform but you don't use cf, lf etc.
18:00 asciilifeform me - no
18:00 mircea_popescu no, the re-pgp imp,ementation
18:00 asciilifeform but what of all those poor sods stuck on antideluvian ms-dos abominations
18:00 mircea_popescu o, now we care ?
18:00 asciilifeform only in so far as their crud has made its way into www browsers, etc
18:00 mircea_popescu shit son. if only i knew about this, we could have made diff design changes on bitcoin core.
18:01 asciilifeform lol
18:01 asciilifeform idea is mutilation-resistance
18:01 mircea_popescu why ?
18:01 mircea_popescu idea is, "it only works if it works"
18:01 asciilifeform because if not, why even bother with ascii, use gpg binary format
18:01 mircea_popescu because i can't read that.
18:01 mircea_popescu why even bother with a proper init, use systemd
18:01 * asciilifeform likes to examine turds with naked eyes
18:01 asciilifeform lol
18:02 mircea_popescu anyway, thgis is more an aesthetic consideratyion. ditching symmetric cyphers is the more substantial thing, and since a reimplementation happenes, might as well add aesthetics.
18:02 asciilifeform don't misunderstand, i like the 'fixed fields' idea, but am also aware that shitgnome excretions in a hundred places in commonplace toolchains will silently screw with it.
18:03 mircea_popescu so that means those toolchains will have to change or die ?
18:03 mircea_popescu o noes!
18:03 asciilifeform ehehe
18:03 mircea_popescu i feel so bad forcing inconvenient change upon random people.
18:03 mircea_popescu like bathing.
18:03 asciilifeform mircea_popescu probably recalls our convo re: pure-rsa. we'll have it.

18:04 jurov ha. does it do htps?
18:04 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: though it will further imperil folks who are enciphering on hardware without proper rng.
18:04 mircea_popescu jurov https is evil in the eyes of the punkbot!!1
18:04 asciilifeform (need lotsa padding)
18:04 mircea_popescu asciilifeform the cypher itself is too short anyway
18:04 mircea_popescu so no, it won't imperil them, it will just make the peril obvious
18:04 asciilifeform aha
18:05 asciilifeform but with pure-rsa, enciphering on a generic pc will be a suicidal act.
18:05 mircea_popescu so make the fucking cardano already.

18:19 mircea_popescu jurov huh?
18:20 mircea_popescu asciilifeform incidentally, know of any rng process to compute fixed count onbits random numbers ?
18:20 jurov author sends email with attached patch and signature as similarly-named attachments
18:20 asciilifeform mircea_popescu is helpfully reminded that not all mersenne numbers are mersenne primes!
18:20 jurov B and C send only named signatures as attachemnt
18:20 mircea_popescu jurov oh yeah, i wasn't commenting on your implementation, i was just bitching at the stars.
18:20 jurov i they approve the patch
18:20 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: fixed count on bits << easy as a fart. start with the bits, then shuffle with rng transpositions.
18:21 mircea_popescu ah that's a point.
18:21 mircea_popescu cool.
18:21 mircea_popescu ;;google list of mersenne primes

18:22 asciilifeform (trivial example - 2^4 - 1 == 15.)
18:22 mircea_popescu yeah google, always put wikipedia the fucking first line, because i'm sure that's what the "algorithm" says.
18:22 mircea_popescu buncha inept frauds...
18:22 mircea_popescu asciilifeform 65537 is not a mersenne prime either. what did i step into ?
18:24 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: fermat primes.
18:24 asciilifeform iirc
18:25 asciilifeform afaik 65537 is largest known fermat prime.
18:25 mircea_popescu you telling me the rsa e must be a fermat prime ? why ?
18:26 asciilifeform it doesn't need to be.
18:26 asciilifeform but does need to be prime.
18:26 mircea_popescu afaik it's only used because easy to compute, two 1's merged into a word
18:26 asciilifeform yes, that is why used.
18:26 asciilifeform easy with bitshifts
18:26 asciilifeform hence the obligatory whinge about new silicon
18:26 mircea_popescu eh fuck it, usgavin promised us 100% increases each year for the next 200 years
18:27 asciilifeform ahaha.
18:27 mircea_popescu or whatever was it. i intend to hold usg at his word.
18:27 mircea_popescu but anyway, why's e have to be prime ?
18:27 asciilifeform work it out
18:27 mircea_popescu the idea is just for (q-1)(p-1) and e to be relatively prime
18:27 mircea_popescu which isn't that hard to test
18:28 mircea_popescu (and for that matter, it IS quite fucking possible for the current, fixed e implementation to spit out badly coded stuff every once in a blue moon, when the p q happen to be a multiple of 65537)
18:28 asciilifeform the broom - fires once. yes.
18:29 mircea_popescu well ?
18:29 mircea_popescu "pick 32 onbit 64bit random numbers, test for cd" is a much better approach
18:29 asciilifeform although - how on earth can pxq be a multiple of 65537 !?
18:29 asciilifeform for prime p and q
18:30 asciilifeform unless one or both are equal to it
18:30 mircea_popescu i guess it can't be because -1
18:30 mircea_popescu fuck. lmao. e just has to be... ODD
18:30 asciilifeform aha.
18:30 mircea_popescu not prime.
18:30 asciilifeform as i said, let's grunt out what happens if composite.
18:30 mircea_popescu stop trying to confuse me just because i have nfi of anything!
18:31 asciilifeform loll
18:31 asciilifeform out of such confusion, is everything born
18:31 asciilifeform as mircea_popescu might say
18:31 mircea_popescu oh i see, just the confusion tip is it.
18:32 asciilifeform obligatory l33t w4r3z: https://notendur.hi.is/pgg/Handbook%20of%20Applied%20Cryptography.pdf
18:32 asciilifeform (massive pdf turd)
18:32 jurov rsa is only possible because we have probabilistic primality tests for bignums up to arbitrary certainty
18:32 mircea_popescu anyway. p and q are primes. p-1 and p-1 being necessarily even, will probably have some factors. these factors could just as well be 65537
18:32 mircea_popescu the odds are low but present.
18:33 mircea_popescu p-1 and q-1*
18:33 asciilifeform jurov: actually we have a deterministic primality test! with massive constant factor, but anyway.

18:38 mircea_popescu ben_vulpes so ?
18:38 asciilifeform ben_vulpes: correct.
18:38 mircea_popescu if you're not willing to sign the present signs you;'d better fork.
18:38 jurov why?
18:38 asciilifeform aha hence hashchain.
18:38 ben_vulpes forgive my derpitude but why not simply sign the patch and collect sigs?
18:38 punkman jurov, I manually entered 0xfff...f at some point, although address generation library would have caught it
18:38 jurov can't they jsut sign independently?

18:48 mircea_popescu exactly.
18:48 kakobrekla no point in establishing "<mircea_popescu> was it an honest mistake"
18:49 asciilifeform so we have serious business here, and all the belts and suspenders - actually matter.
18:49 mircea_popescu that's pretty much the only thing. "we print money, and you can pretend you just fell on her while your pants were off"
18:49 kakobrekla still not sure why anyone wants to sign anything heheh
18:49 kakobrekla given the up and down side.
18:49 asciilifeform (and, for the record, when i suggested to ben_vulpes that he did not need to live fire, it was because it was a removal of ifdefs that were switched off, which, if done correctly, would yield a bitwise-identical binary.)
18:49 mircea_popescu i would like the difference between "dropped plate on my toe" and "fell on naked woman holding her heels while naked" to be obvious to the naked eye
18:49 ben_vulpes so merges should only happen when k l m n o have already signed patch
18:49 mircea_popescu and i want the record of accidental "dropped on my toe" events recorder permanently.
18:49 asciilifeform ^^
18:50 mircea_popescu between these two, the budged for recruiting pencildicks goes from constant to hilbert's hotel.
18:50 mircea_popescu ben_vulpes merges can happen at any point.
18:50 asciilifeform tharwego.
18:50 asciilifeform cooking with gas!
18:50 mircea_popescu what users use, is what users use.
18:51 * asciilifeform has an inescapably 'rectothermal' image of 'pencildick' in his mind
18:53 mircea_popescu the entire "foss is better because read by millions of eyes" fetish needs to be put to rest already. opportunity does not equal actualisation.
18:54 mircea_popescu my model will allow a specific list to be created. this was read in fact by 5468 people. these ones :
18:54 asciilifeform millions'o'flies.
18:54 asciilifeform >> codewot.
18:54 mircea_popescu moreover, by putting the sexy back into reading code, it actually directly addresses the problem. currently people only read shit AFTER a bug was found.
18:55 * asciilifeform confesses that he very frequently reads, with evil eyes, things in which nothing has of yet been found.
18:55 mircea_popescu if you could also sign on it,
18:55 mircea_popescu your signature will become in itself valuable,
18:55 mircea_popescu and the people trying to hire you to review their code would crowd the shit out of the only buyer currently,
18:55 asciilifeform sign ought not to be binary, however.
18:55 mircea_popescu which is the usg diddle-ops arm.
18:55 asciilifeform my 'i will die by this' sig is reserved exclusively for what i personally crapped out and ruminated over.
18:56 asciilifeform could meet exceptions, but not yet met.
18:56 mircea_popescu asciilifeform it IS a way out of gravity well.
18:56 ben_vulpes so i begin to wonder if i'm at all a good person to handle merges, given my lack of experience with cpp
18:57 * asciilifeform would volunteer to take the place of poor ben_vulpes but is rather busy
18:57 ben_vulpes i've been staring at it and it's not unintelligble -- horrible, but not unintelligible -- but given things like obfuscated c competition i don't think i'm actually a good technical choice for the role
18:57 asciilifeform anyway handling merges as such - the physicalities of it - is not hard.
18:57 thestringpuller asciilifeform: who else is going to handle making sure turd consistency stays constant?
18:57 asciilifeform dusithavetobeme?
18:57 ben_vulpes asciilifeform: but how theoretically would i know what to merge?
18:57 thestringpuller you are a masterful turd-smith
18:57 mircea_popescu ben_vulpes technical choice ? these are all political choices.
18:57 ben_vulpes trust the l2?
18:58 asciilifeform why not, say, mircea_popescu
18:58 ben_vulpes choice for the technical role perhaps would be a better phrasing
18:58 * asciilifeform would bite ze bullet & do it, for a small fee.
18:59 ben_vulpes is the goal (eg political) to find some poor usian schmuck to take on hearn et al and risk full audit of all things, stopping and frisking by every passing police officer?
18:59 * asciilifeform has pet that needs some attention, will be back.
18:59 mircea_popescu uh
18:59 ben_vulpes or political in the sense of 'forum'
19:00 mircea_popescu no, the political goal is to allow people who are interested in doing things the right way at the levers where things are done the right way.
19:01 mircea_popescu this may require particular grips, depending on how the lever happen to be constructed. the hands will adjust.
19:01 thestringpuller it seems asciilifeform is the only one qualified to be a release manager
19:01 thestringpuller unless there is a lever pulling training program
19:02 mircea_popescu what is the internet, but a vast training program.
19:02 mircea_popescu what, you though it's about the social media ?
19:02 thestringpuller noise signal and all that garb
19:03 ben_vulpes q: what is the output of a "merge" in this scenario?
19:06 ben_vulpes new "commit" in public repo?
19:07 ben_vulpes fresh set of signed blobs in *.org/releases?
19:07 ben_vulpes these crickets suggest that the chairs must make this decision.
19:07 * ben_vulpes mutters darkly
19:10 ben_vulpes aight well fiat corp requires oiling before shuddering into motion in the morn. i'll continue this with anyone interested at a later point.

23:54 undata there's some synthesis of these ideas that works
23:54 undata I've thought a lot about spending magnet links into the blockchain too

23:55 decimation Yeah you would have to have some method of referencing the blob

23:58 undata turn the thing into a hash db with references
