14:33 asciilifeform let's approach mathematically. with detached sig in gpg, i can sign ANY bitstring which fits in the machine.
14:33 asciilifeform with 'clearsign' - i can only sign certain strings which don't contain the escape magicks.
14:34 asciilifeform and since gpg is retarded by virtue of having to ride on top of 7bit-clean turdmailz etc., it happily mutilates strings to make'em signable

14:38 asciilifeform because if you have a magic format, suddenly you have severely circumscribed choices
14:39 asciilifeform 1) you can no longer transmit a file of unknown length through a signing widget and sign at arbitrary moment. gotta compute the length in advance
14:39 asciilifeform 2) now you have to care about endian - how to represent the magic length word ?
14:40 asciilifeform 3) if your file is 7-bit clean, it WILL get mutilated somewhere from point A to point B, just about guaranteed, so whole exercise was pointless
14:40 asciilifeform 4) you have to de-crudify a signed file before it can be used
14:40 asciilifeform i could go on and on with the braindamage
14:41 asciilifeform 'clearsign' kinda worked for documents intended to be STRICTLY human-readable, where newline crud doesn't have much of an impact

14:48 punkman I don't want 'clearsigning', but if I'm gonna have ascii armored messages/sigs, might as well stick them in one blob, and an unencoded "preview" of the message can be nice to have

15:42 ben_vulpes and redistribute whenever someone pisses in my cheerios?
15:42 mircea_popescu something like that
15:42 mircea_popescu not 100%, but prolly close enough
15:42 ben_vulpes i did briefly consider letting people sub out a disposable key
15:43 mircea_popescu you can just deed a notice, which you encrypt to everyone's key.

15:57 mircea_popescu anyway, back to the dpaste : im not abstaining from helping or anything of the sort. there's been an idea, it's been trashing around in the b-a uterus trying to come to conception. it doesn't seem that it actually works tho, seems more like an irrealisable chimera of disparate, irreconcilable parts.

16:17 ben_vulpes no js in this thing.
16:17 ben_vulpes no js in tmsr~!
16:17 mircea_popescu your life's work is not welcome here!

16:18 mircea_popescu this is really not a bad motto for b-a ; the funny thing for me is how varied the reaction of people is as they encounter it in practice.

16:19 mircea_popescu ~ is not "of"
16:20 ben_vulpes ack
16:21 mircea_popescu ~ in this context is an interesting thing : a postprocessor directive meaning "take the string before the first comma and put it in here to reconstruct the correct title of this item". so that "Fanny Fucksticks, The Enchanted Travels Of ~" becomes "The Enchanted Travels Of Fanny Fucksticks".
16:22 mircea_popescu the reason for this is that so many titles start with The in english that it debalanced the sorting tree (implemented in nature as shelves)

16:52 mircea_popescu "And this worked really well for foursquare thanks to the mayorship. If I tell someone I’m the mayor of a spot, I’m in an instant conversation: “What makes you the mayor?” “That’s lame, I’m there way more than you” “What do you get for being mayor?”. Compare that to talking about Gowalla: “I just swapped this sticker of a bike for a sticker of a six pack of beer! What? Yes, I am still a virgin”.
16:52 mircea_popescu See the difference? Make some aspect of your product easy and fun to talk about, and make it unique."
16:52 mircea_popescu that's exactly not it. the difference is that the former STOLE something. a little bit of something, and something that wasn't well bolted down by a legal process. 300 years ago you'd go to jail for pretending to be the mayor ; even today you can go to jail for pretending to be a cop.
16:52 mircea_popescu that's mostly what these things peddle : a particular sort of theft.
16:53 mircea_popescu also why they're fundamentally worthless.

17:39 asciilifeform perfectly readable.
17:39 mircea_popescu you understand, i hope you do but if you don't i'll explain it, that the only - THE ONLY - reason for literacy is so you can read contracts.
17:40 mircea_popescu if it were the case that contracts came in '|tar bottles" reading plain english would be as useful as reading latin.
17:40 mircea_popescu and literacy would be defined as "reading tar"
17:40 mircea_popescu do you ?

18:15 asciilifeform ben_vulpes: part of the appeal of running a 'pastebin' ~is~ the crud dropped in by the mob. for instance, there is a long tradition of dropping 0days and leaked misc crud on pastebin.

18:17 asciilifeform and i still insist that the 'clearness' of 'clearsign' is a jwzism. NO YOU CAN'T actually read the payload 'without tools'. yes, you can put it to a line printer, and get a human-readable page. BUT it will not be WHAT YOU SIGNED! not bitwise, and not mandatorily, and therefore not at all.
18:17 asciilifeform you still need a computer to read 'plain ascii'
18:17 asciilifeform and we still don't have agreement - yes, even among unixlines - how to actually display 'plain text'

18:33 * mircea_popescu looks
18:33 asciilifeform not mega-trick. but works.
18:34 asciilifeform granted, hex editor will show you immediately why. but the 'plain text is readable without tools' illusion is - just that
18:34 mircea_popescu a yea, iirc we even had a discussion about scripts doing ^H etc here, with a link and everything.

18:36 mircea_popescu note however that you can't rely on me reading the "clearsigned" thing with any particular mechanism.
18:37 mircea_popescu for all you know i do read it in a byte editor.
18:37 asciilifeform aha
18:37 asciilifeform at which point the supposed advantage of the 'plainness' is nowhere to be found
18:37 mircea_popescu so this entire "unix terminal is retarded" thing isn't as much of a concern
18:37 mircea_popescu how so ?
18:39 asciilifeform because if you want to avoid 'malleability', now you have to actually use a tool that shows you the bytes.
18:39 asciilifeform incl. the nonprintable ones.
18:40 mircea_popescu ideally, clearsign would reject anything but ascii.
18:40 asciilifeform well, it'd necessarily have to be more narrow than ascii
18:40 mircea_popescu "these are your father's letters"
18:40 asciilifeform (in having magical words)
18:40 mircea_popescu hm ?
18:41 asciilifeform either the start/end marker (as in traditional gpg) or length offset marker (as somebody suggested here)
18:41 asciilifeform but in no case could i be ~guaranteed~ of signing an arbitrary ascii string without mutilation
18:41 mircea_popescu - is not ascii
18:41 asciilifeform sure as fuck is
18:42 asciilifeform unless they have a different character set on mars, also called ascii, where - is not 45
18:42 mircea_popescu to put it sanely-er : i'm more than happy to redefine "ascii" for clearsign to include a subset of ascii

18:43 * asciilifeform looks forward to using mircea_popescu's p-block for telex clearsigs.
18:43 asciilifeform in fact, whole point of 'p' originally in my head was so that mircea_popescu could have these.

19:44 mircea_popescu emjoy!
19:44 thestringpuller why all the hate on AWS?
19:44 asciilifeform thestringpuller: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=23-12-2015#1350912
19:44 assbot Logged on 23-12-2015 02:56:57; asciilifeform: incidentally, zoolag is under heavy and modestly-clever ddos
19:44 asciilifeform this plus the fact that there is no meaningful collateral damage
19:45 asciilifeform because a 'cloud' node is a pseudonode.
19:45 thestringpuller and a node run on hardware in a datacenter is not?
19:45 asciilifeform not normally, no.
19:46 ben_vulpes and you propose to identify all such virtualized nodes somehow?
19:46 ben_vulpes what next, rackspace?
19:46 mircea_popescu no, he just proposes to whack some more obvious ones.
19:46 ben_vulpes "enumerating badness"
19:46 asciilifeform ben_vulpes: by no means. but why permit known and exhaustively-catalogued rubbish ?
19:46 asciilifeform presently it is the most pestilential variety of rubbish
19:46 asciilifeform on account of the 'easy & cheap'
19:46 thestringpuller easy yes, cheap no.
19:46 ben_vulpes notrly the latter.
19:47 mircea_popescu i actually support throwing a spoke or three in the expectation of jwz that "struff works"
19:47 asciilifeform when rackspace starts handing out vm to reddit k00l d00dz for a penny/hour, i'll ban it.
19:47 mircea_popescu a lot more of this "oh, you're on aws ? well... you can't do X" stuff is sorely needed.
19:47 asciilifeform ^^^
19:47 mircea_popescu time to turn the tables on the golum.
19:47 mircea_popescu or as that kid aptly said (in american history X), "on the internet, YOU'RE the nigger."
19:48 thestringpuller didn't that kid end up getting shot/stabbed in the bathroom?
19:48 asciilifeform ben_vulpes: the correct 'non-enumerative badness' expression is, ultimately, 'don't give cpu cycles out to all-comers'
19:49 asciilifeform but we aren't there yet.
19:50 thestringpuller well i guess I'm moving my nodes to google cloud
19:50 assbot [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 65800 @ 0.0005093 = 33.5119 BTC [+] {3}
19:50 mircea_popescu haha were you on aws ?
19:50 thestringpuller one of my nodes was.
19:51 thestringpuller well the "working" one.
19:51 mircea_popescu honestly, you're better off getting a decent server you actually control for your node than getting a bunch of aws/such crap
19:51 thestringpuller I have one in my basement.
19:51 thestringpuller But it's being obstinent right now.
19:52 thestringpuller I attempted to create an insane robot, and I succeeded.
19:53 mircea_popescu hey, some people gotta get married for that.
19:54 asciilifeform aws ban hammer enabled on all 3 of my nodez now.
19:58 asciilifeform oh!
19:58 asciilifeform and!
19:59 asciilifeform doing this will keep the turd nodez out of the addr.db
19:59 asciilifeform and has effect beyond one particular node.
19:59 asciilifeform isolate the idiots, when they do the kindness of making this so convenient.

22:27 pete_dushenski ;;later tell mod6 my pleasure and thanks for the correction. i was confusing december 19th entries, it seems. i've updated that section of the trb timeline accordingly.
22:27 gribble The operation succeeded.
22:29 pete_dushenski asciilifeform ben_vulpes et al. i also found an even ~earlier~ mention by mircea_popescu of the "0.6.x is the last useable version" line in the sand : http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=13-02-2014#499837
22:29 assbot Logged on 13-02-2014 03:43:52; mircea_popescu: the resultant mess is unusable past about 0.6.x or thereabouts, for these reasons.
22:29 asciilifeform kakobrekla et al: zoolag is back.
22:30 asciilifeform now with 4x the disk at 2x the speed.

22:35 pete_dushenski http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=25-12-2015#1353165 << without reading it, lemme go out on a limb and hazard a guess that 'nudge tsar' cass sunstein is somehow involved.
22:35 assbot Logged on 25-12-2015 21:13:38; ben_vulpes: http://www.politico.com/agenda/story/2015/10/obamas-effort-to-nudge-america-000276 << in which the department of statistics completely forgets about the challenges of untangling correlation from causation
22:35 ben_vulpes and yet somehow trb forked from 0.5.3
22:36 * pete_dushenski unwraps present, finds that, indeed, sunstein is the rattle he heard in the box
22:36 asciilifeform pete_dushenski: pretty sure he brought it up in 2013 not long after i started reading
22:38 asciilifeform 'Qt uses C++ with signals and slotsxiv to provide a cross-platform application framework for, essentially, illiterate amateurs.' << unfortunately this is not so
22:38 asciilifeform it is the ~only~ remaining working cross-platform native-widget graphic lib for cpp.
22:38 asciilifeform (there is/was also 'wx' but it is a shambles)
22:42 pete_dushenski duly noted.
22:44 pete_dushenski ben_vulpes: you know what version was actually released by the phoundation in june 2012, your requested vintage ? 0.6.3
22:45 pete_dushenski 0.5.3 was released in march 2012
22:45 ben_vulpes so?
22:45 pete_dushenski https://bitcoin.org/en/release/v0.5.3 https://bitcoin.org/en/release/v0.6.3
22:45 assbot Bitcoin-Qt version 0.5.3 released ... ( http://bit.ly/1NPwG5I )
22:45 assbot Bitcoin-Qt version 0.6.3 released ... ( http://bit.ly/1NPwDH8 )
22:46 asciilifeform ben_vulpes: i think pete_dushenski was trying to write a history of trb ?
22:46 asciilifeform (premature, imho, but whatever)
22:46 pete_dushenski bitcoin compresses time.
22:47 pete_dushenski 1.25 years of development of trb is equivalent to multiples of that in row
22:47 asciilifeform l0l
22:48 ben_vulpes anyways, the point remains. mircea_popescu did not select 0.5.3 as the root fork point.
22:48 asciilifeform does anybody else find it lulzy that there are actually 2 trb's ?
22:48 ben_vulpes if you read the surrounding lines (http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=21-10-2014#885543, http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=21-10-2014#885551, http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=21-10-2014#885552) the technical nature of the question in question may become apparent.

22:48 asciilifeform and the only fella who's seen both is mircea_popescu
22:49 pete_dushenski one pdp, one unixbox
22:49 asciilifeform (though who knows whether his phriendz who worked on mircea_popescucoin may also be lurking)
22:49 ben_vulpes i'd love to hear how he got the mysterious, yes phriendz, rolled in.
22:50 ben_vulpes mostly to dismiss my own hypotheses
22:50 asciilifeform ben_vulpes: they're prlly bound by omerta
22:50 ben_vulpes well ofc
22:52 pete_dushenski ben_vulpes: btw didja see the link to your summary of changes article ?
22:53 ben_vulpes oh it /was/ in there the first time?
22:53 pete_dushenski all along dude :)
22:53 pete_dushenski who do you think i am ?
22:53 ben_vulpes i saw material factual mistakes and kinda checked out.
22:54 ben_vulpes did you include a link to my version of the same piece that you wrote?
22:55 pete_dushenski mnope. that one has a larger breadth than contravex trb timleline part i could handle. maybe in part ii.

23:21 asciilifeform vs what
23:21 ben_vulpes (which itself a magical hellhole of stupidity)
23:21 ben_vulpes uid
23:21 ben_vulpes it appears
23:22 ben_vulpes ah no. nm. all my dumb ass.
23:24 phf paste text to b-a-paste, manually post url to log, unless post is in the logs, it's auto expired after n hours
23:26 ben_vulpes more state, huh?
23:28 phf yeah, basically requires you to periodically pull kako logs, but that does close the "open to mob" hole
23:30 phf it's a pretty laid back option though, you're basically accepting as much third party crud as any regular paste service, but there's a gc that ties the whole thing to log, and culls the turds
23:31 ben_vulpes notbad no
23:42 assbot [MPEX] [FT] [X.EUR] 750 @ 0.00240888 = 1.8067 BTC [+] {6}
23:45 kakobrekla you gonna keep 100+ megs of logs to save up a few kbs of space?
23:46 mircea_popescu phf iirc dpaste expire in a week anyway
23:46 ben_vulpes you can get it to do up to a year
23:46 kakobrekla by default, max is 1 year
23:47 kakobrekla anyway space is cheap these days.
23:48 mircea_popescu so it is.
23:48 phf i think it's ascii's purity concern, rather then space as such. why host someone else's graffiti, etc.
↖
23:48 kakobrekla allocate 1% of the blockchain size and you are good for many years.
23:50 mircea_popescu this all depends on usecase.
23:50 asciilifeform http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=26-12-2015#1353582 >> actually no, http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=25-12-2015#1353299

23:50 assbot Logged on 25-12-2015 23:15:12; asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: part of the appeal of running a 'pastebin' ~is~ the crud dropped in by the mob. for instance, there is a long tradition of dropping 0days and leaked misc crud on pastebin.
23:51 ben_vulpes this is an argument for filtering the seawter for gold.
23:51 ben_vulpes seawater*
23:51 kakobrekla and it makes the immutability depended on assbot
23:51 kakobrekla dependent
23:51 kakobrekla anyway off to bed.
23:52 ben_vulpes wall scribblings meant for the ages should to into deedbot-, no?
23:54 asciilifeform and phf's idea doesn't require any complex state
23:55 asciilifeform every 24h cron greps the day's log for a link to the post, if doesn't find - deletes.
23:55 asciilifeform and anyone can post.
23:55 asciilifeform (if ~does~ find - copies to perma-dir)

23:56 pete_dushenski "The only eyewitness identifications that I can find speak of three white men." http://www.unz.com/article/what-really-happened-in-san-bernardino/ << funny, y'know i also recall the early reports being "shooting by three white men in army fatigues" or some such.
23:56 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: we have no such thing now
23:56 mircea_popescu assbot puts out the archive.is thing, if anyone cliocks that, permadir.
23:56 mircea_popescu if nobody clicks, whatever.
23:57 asciilifeform i can't pipe text into archive.is from a shell !!
23:57 mircea_popescu again : you put the link in the log
23:57 asciilifeform LINK
23:57 mircea_popescu assbot creates the archive link
23:57 asciilifeform we were, i think, talking about a 'pastebin'
23:57 mircea_popescu ...
23:58 asciilifeform where i can, e.g., './foo.pl | pastebinatron' and get a link
23:58 mircea_popescu so ./foo.pl curl http://dpaste.com or w/e ?
23:58 assbot dpaste: New ... ( http://bit.ly/1mj4FMJ )
23:58 asciilifeform aha but dpaste is lame
23:59 asciilifeform because 1) not ours 2) not ours 3) mutilates text 4) idiot highlighting
23:59 mircea_popescu ok so then ./foo.pl ssh-to-where-ascii-keeps-things
23:59 asciilifeform no.
