00:01 mircea_popescu very much like, say, a trichinelosis detector. you ~want~ someone somewhere to have these, keep them well oiled and force manufacturers to burn any and all carcasses that come positive.
00:03 mircea_popescu and in other partyvan news, http://65.media.tumblr.com/21222f1b753050b4e31f97c436e5d4eb/tumblr_o1phrw0oAT1trzasto1_1280.jpg
00:05 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: elementarily, anyone intending to mail in ze bomb will ddos the sensors prior
00:06 asciilifeform 'cry wolf' etc.
00:06 mircea_popescu well not "anyone", but sure.
00:06 asciilifeform point was that it is quite trivial, and the whole orchestra is a waste of dough.
00:07 mircea_popescu not exactly. lafond makes this point, re the difference between a police force and a militia. you can't expect the police to protect you against organised violence. it works entirely and strictly for disorganised violence.
00:07 asciilifeform there are no hoodrats-cum-nukes.
00:07 asciilifeform the thing sorta implies organization definitionally.
00:08 mircea_popescu two people have an argument and one gets really angry, police can fix this. random derp gets overexcited tries to ship smoke detector shavings to ex gf's mother, police can fix this.
00:08 asciilifeform recognize, shavings dun set off neutronograph
00:08 mircea_popescu by the time powerful entity sends ddos wave prior to dirty bombs, police's not a useful expense.
00:08 asciilifeform they are ~specific~ to fissiles.
00:08 mircea_popescu jus' sayin'.
00:09 asciilifeform (incidentally, geiger tubes in, e.g., train stations, were sop for ~decades~.)
00:09 asciilifeform this here's different.
00:09 mircea_popescu the multi-bn-dollar neutron-detector-at-shipping-interfaces programme, going for well over three decades already, has captured exactly 0 anything.
00:09 asciilifeform afaik.
00:09 mircea_popescu but much like in the case of "metal detectors" in airports, going for about as long, the goal was never THAT.
00:10 mircea_popescu the goal was the same : it gave good basis for the eventual "globalisation", which, without the derpy "peace movement" post nuke detonation would have likely never existed
00:10 mircea_popescu this whole am
00:10 mircea_popescu aml/kyc idiocy is fed exactly off that.
00:10 mircea_popescu and similarly with the "metal detector" security in airports. tis for the cows, not for the metals.
00:11 asciilifeform well the metal arches are theatre
00:11 asciilifeform the neutronographs - not advertised, concealed behind drywall etc.
00:11 mircea_popescu but the fact that there is a "greater good" pretext to force say germany to put them in,
00:11 BingoBoingo In other lols Sanders beat Clitler in Indiana. GOP settled their party divide first 111!!!
00:11 asciilifeform took some digging to even realize that they are a separate concern from the theatre.
00:12 mircea_popescu is what's needed to then force germany to "approve" gpg4win oficially.
00:12 asciilifeform well yeah, basic usgtronics
00:12 mircea_popescu so yeah, it is theatre, just, you're not the demo.
00:12 mircea_popescu judge is the demo ; and bureaucrats are the demo ; and so on.
00:12 asciilifeform 'choose, either us or greenglassocalypse'
00:17 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: this'd handily explain a buncha things.
00:17 asciilifeform e.g., the astronomically expensive gc/ms poison detectors, etc.
00:17 asciilifeform theatre for the chair-warmers.
00:18 mircea_popescu quite. this argument that "oh, never seen" ... guess what ? priceless relics in temples also kept in dark, never seen!
00:18 mircea_popescu not by public at any rate. but gotta keep THE PRIESTS impressed too!
00:18 mircea_popescu lest cynicism takes hold.
00:18 asciilifeform su was illustration of what happens if you fail to keep the priests in.
00:20 mircea_popescu the unravelling of the vaccine story recently is rather symptomatic. a society that no longer accepts the "vaccinarnos es cuidarnos entre todos" is, to use proper terminology, ungovernable.
00:20 mircea_popescu like any theatre, state necessitates willing suspension of disbelief.
00:21 mircea_popescu and otherwise, the world is too harsh to face without theatre. at least for most bipedals.
00:21 mircea_popescu (it is pretty fucking harsh. slavegirls may attest.)

00:25 BingoBoingo mircea_popescu: Apparently the video that earned her the trigglypuff nickname was entertaining, but I ain't got time for that. Just gotta leave the triggering stuff here for when Hanno reads the logs before his astroturf sessions.
00:26 mircea_popescu lol. i dun think he got time for that, too buys [could have] discovering quantum cold fusion.
00:26 asciilifeform oh speaking of these people,
00:27 asciilifeform i know nothing of heininger in real life, but i had a dream where she was a hot chik

00:31 mircea_popescu going throgh reports. nothing much.
00:33 Chicago Otherwise, just waiting on some hdparm security-erase to complete on a disk, so I can throw it into a scratch array. I needed some space to work on a large collection of files, to tarball them before archiving them on tape.
00:33 mircea_popescu that sounds exciting and all.
00:38 Chicago It could be worse. There is a series of checks, tests and configurations I employ before putting a spindle into production. This is because I have a battery of Seagate Barracuda ES.2 drives from circa 2008/2009 which I still want to use. Some of them are just bad, from known firmware problems and the others need to somehow prove themselves to be *good enough* to use for scratch data handling.
00:41 Chicago At the time the Barracuda ES.2 drives were manufactured, their promotional materials were quite attractive. As time progressed, there were a number of problems with them similar to the IBM Deskstar (Deathstar) hard drives.

01:05 BingoBoingo Oh, not today. Just mourning a Clinton v Clinton election
01:10 Chicago BingoBoingo, I'm afraid I don't understand. What do you mean by a Clinton v. Clinton election?
01:10 BingoBoingo Trump is just a Clinton in huckster clothing
01:13 Chicago Ah, okay. Maybe the claim Trump will pick Hillary as his VP has some merit to it.
01:14 BingoBoingo Nah, their strategy is have a clinton on each line of the ticket
01:14 Chicago BingoBoingo, you should mourn on Undernet in #political or #politics with the masses.

10:54 mircea_popescu phf yes, and the domain was reigstered in 2012. this doesn't serve here : they have to have history specifically in the things discussed. otherwise, it's not unlike someone applying to a job requiring 5000 hours of flight experience on the basis of his driving license from 1993. fine.. but ?
10:54 mircea_popescu "There are even weirder examples, though - e.g., one of Phuctor's factors is 0x115CFF61CFECFF61BE9, where we see three 32-bit limbs satisfying: limb[1] = limb[0] + limb[2] and also limb[2] is small and thus likely didn't come from a CSPRNG, but possibly from uninitialized memory." << very good point. this person's actually intelligent.
10:57 mircea_popescu anyway, in practical terms - so he references both. good for him. anyone interested in doing some work can look at either site and proceed. i can't find any useful item AT ALL on factorable net. not as much as a factor or anything. some vague discussions in summary of supposed finds substantiated in no manner. if this is science you can also be pope, why not.
10:58 mircea_popescu obviously, they're going to copy whatever phuctor publishes, which is fine but also rather obvious.

10:58 asciilifeform the fastgcd thing is henninger's

11:06 mircea_popescu and does THE ONE THING.
11:06 mircea_popescu these people are what has come to mean in english "scientists". they will do the thing they do, no matter what.

11:07 asciilifeform not even indirectly
11:07 mircea_popescu nothing to do with anything.
11:07 mircea_popescu as children, they stuck their head in a ring. then they kept adding rings.
11:07 asciilifeform what ring
11:08 mircea_popescu now - https://asoutherngirlinsouthafrica.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/3311565227_51a8bf7bf9_o2.jpg
11:08 mircea_popescu an order to remove rings is equiv to a death setence, for them.
11:08 asciilifeform l0l!
11:08 mircea_popescu it is a fact.
11:08 mircea_popescu permanent tissue damage.
11:10 mircea_popescu so they'll fuck around with the rings, forever. hopefully their children will be raped into sanity. i'm doing a little towards that, if the children happen to be easy on the eyes and female. that'sall.
11:10 mircea_popescu the "western civilisation" may survive only in this limited sense.
11:12 mircea_popescu but meanwhile - no, the Βασιλεύς Βασιλέων, Βασιλεύων Βασιλευόντων is not paying any of them anything.
11:13 mircea_popescu mircea_popescu> and does THE ONE THING. << anT i mean, obviously. heh.
11:25 asciilifeform long, long ago, when i was quite unemployed, i wrote to Βασιλεύς Βασιλέων, Βασιλεύων Βασιλευόντων and offered my services
11:25 asciilifeform he replied with form letter.
11:25 asciilifeform so i unzipped and pissed.
11:25 asciilifeform so it boggles my mind that other folks did not do same.
11:25 asciilifeform why fellate hitler for phreee ?
11:26 asciilifeform incidentally little birdie told me recently that nsa 'TAO' pisses on american nondiscrimination laws and never employs foreign-born folk

11:26 asciilifeform (re 'rule of law' etc.)
11:28 mircea_popescu "it's what we do".
11:33 mircea_popescu also, afaik "american nondiscrimination laws" work strictly to protect enumerated groups. women, blacks, what have you. "foreign born white men" isn't on the list.
11:34 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: letter of the law is, i quote, 'RACE, COLOR, RELIGION, SEX, NATIONAL ORIGIN'
11:34 asciilifeform (u.s. equal opportunity commission.)
11:34 mircea_popescu read the fine print.
11:34 asciilifeform yer thinking of the private sector
11:34 asciilifeform usg has own proclamation
11:34 mircea_popescu oh oh.
11:34 asciilifeform that uses this verbiage.
11:34 asciilifeform aha. civil service.
11:34 trinque yes, but the ways in which "success" is "measured" involve "enough blacks/women/... ?"
11:35 mircea_popescu i never quite understood this "place of birth" fixation in [always B list] secret services.
11:35 asciilifeform ask them not me (tm)
11:35 asciilifeform but this is classic, 'proper aryans only!'
11:35 mircea_popescu eh, half the time there isn't who to ask what color to paint the walls, let alone substantial matters.
11:36 mircea_popescu it is classic "we're too inept to ever do anything so let's fuck around with paper all day instead".
11:36 mircea_popescu i could see (maybe) why you wouldn't want non-citizen grunts in the army.
11:36 asciilifeform except those are a dime a dozen
11:36 asciilifeform i had an office across the hall from no less than a major
11:36 mircea_popescu though that was much more of a concern back before transportation
11:36 asciilifeform ru-born.
11:37 mircea_popescu asciilifeform amusingly, 100 years ago one couldn't be ru major unless german :D
11:37 asciilifeform 200.
11:37 mircea_popescu w/e.
11:38 asciilifeform anyway once you think about how american sigint actually works, when it works, it makes sense
11:38 asciilifeform (via schmoozing and 'iana committee' sabotage, which calls for pedigreed yacht rats, not maths folks, etc.)
11:39 mircea_popescu bullcrap.
11:39 mircea_popescu this "pedigreed yacht rats" exists strictly in your imagination, as a derivative product of 1970s Burda.
11:41 mircea_popescu [for this side of the iron curtain folks : insanely popular fashion mag because it included patterns for all items so pre-industrial girls and young women could make them at home. first western mag to be published in russia ; and in china. easily beat anything cosmo ever was or could be.]

11:42 asciilifeform not wholly mythical animals, these.

11:45 asciilifeform at any rate, i can easily see why nsa would escew folks who might have actual culture
11:45 mircea_popescu what the fuck was that sitcom called, hm.

11:52 asciilifeform in which way are my emulated fuckers inaccurate ?
11:52 mircea_popescu in the way where they make sense in your emulation in places they make no sense irl.
11:52 mircea_popescu then this error compounds, because it's selective.
11:52 asciilifeform i mean, these kidz ~did~ have vacation houses, did end up in princetonyaleward, etc.
11:52 mircea_popescu then next thing you know, meta-nsa the yachting club.
11:53 asciilifeform sure!
11:53 mircea_popescu you have any fucking idea how much WORK sailing is ?
11:53 phf sometimes i still see these santa barbara americans though, old men with "silver hair" driving a Mercedes, or mostly on the metro here. they always look so lost and small, like they walked from the screen, "the last American hero" style. except instead of like punching the car window and discovering that it hurts, their credit card is denied or something, and they are like "what is that???"
11:53 mircea_popescu actually fuck that. you ever been on a yacht ? by been i mean > 6 hours.
11:53 asciilifeform 'work' is something you do against your will.
11:53 asciilifeform to pay billz.
11:53 mircea_popescu trust me. after the 9999th winch tick, it's against your will.
11:53 asciilifeform next thing mircea_popescu tells us fucking is work.
11:54 asciilifeform at any rate, quite obviously not all 'yacht rats' take up sailing
11:54 asciilifeform it is, after all, exercise.
11:54 mircea_popescu think about it in these terms : 1. i can sail, and actually used to be / could be very good at it (right body type) ; 2. i could afford a yacht, what. 3. i don't either. ???
11:54 asciilifeform mircea_popescu doesn't fly airplanes either
11:54 asciilifeform he has theorems.
11:54 asciilifeform can't be arsed. etc.
11:54 phf *last action hero, rather
11:55 mircea_popescu airplane is merely annoying to fly. too many blinkenlichten and shit.
11:55 mircea_popescu yachts are actually hard.
11:55 asciilifeform hey that bleuriot or what was it, that i sat down in, had 0 lights.
11:55 mircea_popescu in the air ?
11:55 asciilifeform on the dashboard.
11:55 asciilifeform none provided.
11:55 mircea_popescu yeah well, maybe they only turn them on when airborne to save on headlamp fluid.
11:56 asciilifeform it had fewer gauges than my car.
11:56 asciilifeform lel
11:56 mircea_popescu oh, the thing with the steel wires ?
11:56 asciilifeform aha.
11:56 mircea_popescu you didn't notice the anal dildo. those things are "viscerally piloted".
11:56 asciilifeform that was in the bench, i almost sat on it!111111
11:56 mircea_popescu which is worse, not better, than blinkenlichten

12:10 asciilifeform ty BingoBoingo
12:10 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: l0l!
12:11 asciilifeform mega-answer.
12:11 mircea_popescu schmucks.
12:12 mircea_popescu really, he's going to trade his "giving a shit" for me doing more work on top of the work i did that he can't do in the first place ? in what fucking world!
12:12 mircea_popescu i want him giving a shit like i want cold sores.
12:14 asciilifeform by that logic, why did i bother to write 'theory' page on phuctor ?
12:14 asciilifeform perhaps a literate man should already know the theory..?
12:14 mircea_popescu there is a difference between YOU DOING and HE DEMANDING.
12:14 asciilifeform ah hm.
12:14 mircea_popescu you can do whatever the fuck you want, including help yourself to a double serving of his wife
12:15 mircea_popescu he can THANK YOU FOR IT, and he can HELP. that is it. exactly strictly and absolutely it, nothing more to no degree.
12:15 mircea_popescu IF we ever want his political opinions on things, which is a very remote distant and unlikely if, WELL ASK FOR IT!
12:17 mircea_popescu somehow illiterate street urchins in all the large cities, 1916 as well as 2016 can master this basic concept before age 14. yet it eludes the byproducts of welfare state.
12:17 asciilifeform lel qntra ddos ?
12:17 asciilifeform or just 'slashdotted'
12:17 mircea_popescu or your terminal being weird ?
12:17 asciilifeform dun think so
12:18 mircea_popescu i see it.
12:18 asciilifeform i also see.
12:18 asciilifeform just sl000w
12:18 mircea_popescu pings in 1/4s. it's you.
12:19 * asciilifeform has deeply nfi.

12:32 asciilifeform 153
12:33 mircea_popescu only 5% ish fo the pile of braindamage.
12:34 asciilifeform but >1/2 of the phucked
12:35 asciilifeform i may have said this before, but,
12:35 asciilifeform i have a ~strong~ suspicion that there are q == nextprime(p) keys in there.
12:35 asciilifeform somewhere.
12:35 mircea_popescu first things first. the ssl keys thing - both github and search.
12:36 asciilifeform iirc jurov was doing something with those.
12:36 asciilifeform the nice thing about ssl and ssh pubkeys is that you can harvest them.
12:36 asciilifeform in the wild.
12:36 mircea_popescu with the first half, yeah. we also need a general purpose multiconverter.
12:36 asciilifeform (port scanner)
12:36 mircea_popescu anyone wanna write that ?
12:36 asciilifeform ask henninger ! l0l
12:37 asciilifeform srsly that would be lulzy
12:37 mircea_popescu there already exists a "various ssh formats" conversion ; need to bolt on base16/10 number and pgp format.
12:37 mircea_popescu asciilifeform had she had the common sense to wot i would.
12:37 asciilifeform technically there is no need to convert them to pgp format
12:37 asciilifeform i can throw them in as a specialcase.
12:38 asciilifeform (and does it actually make sense to phuctor them ~together~ with pgp keyz?)
12:38 asciilifeform in other lulz,
12:38 asciilifeform http://seclists.org/oss-sec/2016/q2/200
12:39 asciilifeform 'There are multiple vulnerabilities in ImageMagick, a package commonly used by web services to process images. One of the vulnerabilities can lead to remote code execution (RCE) if you process user submitted images. The exploit for this vulnerability is being used in the wild. A number of image processing plugins depend on the ImageMagick library, including, but not limited to, PHP's imagick, Ruby's
12:39 mircea_popescu asciilifeform yes, it makes sense. primes are primes, factors are factors.
12:39 asciilifeform rmagick and paperclip, and nodejs's imagemagick.
12:39 asciilifeform '
12:39 mircea_popescu asciilifeform the thing's been a blessing for hackers for many years now.
12:39 mircea_popescu asciilifeform by the way, do you have any kind of werker to keep adding primes to the 8ball ?
12:40 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: as a matter of fact i do
12:40 asciilifeform currently on other box
12:40 mircea_popescu nice. so then let all these things converge. the server ssh keys ; the user ssh keys ; the pgp keys and the 8ball werker.
12:40 mircea_popescu eventually we will have all factors.
12:41 mircea_popescu ALL factors.
12:41 asciilifeform it is of pretty limited use tho, expanding 8ball from 1st mil primes to 10 mil yielded... what.. 2 pops ?
12:41 mircea_popescu no matter.
12:41 mircea_popescu utility is not measured by results.
12:41 asciilifeform re imagemagic, this is gold:
12:41 mircea_popescu this is research not engineering.
12:41 asciilifeform ''ImageMagick allows to process files with external libraries. This feature is called 'delegate'. It is implemented as a system() with command string ('command') from the config file delegates.xml with actual value for different params (input/output filenames etc). Due to insufficient %M param filtering it is possible to conduct shell command injection. One of the default delegate's command is used
12:41 asciilifeform to handle https requests...'
12:41 asciilifeform quite like, e.g., glibc's dyn load
12:42 mircea_popescu aha.
12:42 asciilifeform and related rubbish
12:42 asciilifeform srsly the modus operandi NEVER changes
12:42 mircea_popescu same source also.
12:42 asciilifeform with these people.
12:42 mircea_popescu aha.
12:42 asciilifeform crab, pincers.
12:43 mircea_popescu asciilifeform anyway, just get the 8ball expander to work constantly, fill a core or something.
12:43 mircea_popescu and will be nice if 8ball is published also, say daily.
12:44 mircea_popescu and in other news, http://67.media.tumblr.com/a8d2965d89bd18287633be95f4abda5c/tumblr_nu9w3p7Msi1s5ycf8o1_1280.jpg
12:45 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: good idea.
12:45 asciilifeform (it working 100%, but right now shuttled manually.)
12:46 mircea_popescu and finally, you do have a knob to fill in factors into 8 ball manually ? if not add it in
12:46 mircea_popescu sooner or later someone ELSE is going to report an actual factor.
12:46 asciilifeform this was part of my plan for the rewrite
12:46 asciilifeform and defo next on featurelist.
12:47 mircea_popescu (will be particularly useful to check/disprove shit coming from hanno bock, http://trilema.com/2016/psa-hanno-bock-still-a-deceitful-shitbag/ ) et all.

12:55 asciilifeform at the end of a werker run, all keys that were part of the run, are marked nonwaiting.
12:55 mircea_popescu so we're running out of fuel, basically.
12:55 asciilifeform aha.
12:56 punkman there are a couple companies that do comprehensive crawls of pastebins, could be worth looking into
12:56 asciilifeform i'ma saw apart a recent sks dump this weekend.

12:56 asciilifeform will also look into what it'd take to real-time eat sks.
12:56 mircea_popescu would you download the thing and take out the keys ?
12:56 asciilifeform well yeah
12:56 asciilifeform how else
12:56 mircea_popescu asciilifeform i was asking him.

14:32 asciilifeform 'similar observations for factors are
14:32 asciilifeform probably a red herring: an artifact of the process used by these
14:32 asciilifeform factoring projects rather than part of how the keys were generated.'
14:33 asciilifeform and the continuing mention of openssl
14:33 mircea_popescu asciilifeform he has a point tho.
14:33 asciilifeform where it never touched
14:33 asciilifeform but yes the large numbers are composites, this is obvious in 5 seconds to a kindergartener
14:33 asciilifeform how else.
14:33 mircea_popescu in point of fact composites are broken into not-necessarily-prime chunks, which is more of a function of the random state of the breaker than anything, and the actual bitfield offers no information re the process that made the key
14:33 asciilifeform random ints are divisible by 3, 5... etc nyooz at eleven.
14:33 mircea_popescu well so it is obvious, what of it. he can state it.
14:34 asciilifeform the insistence on 'software bug' whereas it is plain as daylight ~why~ there are 32mirror keys, and why they are for whom they are, is the riotous part.
14:34 mircea_popescu all he's saying is that using THE FOUND FACTORS as some sort of lithmus for the key production process is a dead end. which it is.
14:34 mircea_popescu ah, well. it's their schtick, what.
14:35 mircea_popescu " Could it be that all of the broken e keys were generated by OpenSSL from year 2000 or earlier? " << it could not be. a) none of the keys come from openssl ; b) most keys are post 2000.
14:36 asciilifeform plain to anyone without a mouthful of obamacok
14:37 mircea_popescu asciilifeform understand, the most important quality of doing things openly is that every derp everywhere is now able to try and stuff it into his peculiar headbox. there's a lot of "number worshipping" undercurrent i detect in there, sort-of the educated version of "lottery playing systems", which is more repugnant to the civilised man than the political slant. even so.
14:37 mircea_popescu let the fuzzers fuzz.
14:37 asciilifeform reads ~exactly~ like lottosystem folk
14:37 mircea_popescu and in other weird news, keybase somehow has > 50k users. wtf.
14:37 asciilifeform but artifully, deliberately, as misdirection
14:38 mircea_popescu asciilifeform i perceive no such deliberate / artful anything.
14:38 asciilifeform well, what, he did not run the keys through pgpdump? did not see the dates ?
14:38 asciilifeform has nfi that openssl was never in gpg ?
14:38 mircea_popescu indeed not. problem ?
14:38 mircea_popescu also not.
14:38 asciilifeform (or closed pgp for that matter)
14:39 mircea_popescu what, you expect people went to your 3rd grade ? how many people were there in that class! 20 ? 30 ?
14:39 mircea_popescu whole world didn't fit!
14:39 asciilifeform what ~did~ he use for his analysis ? tea leaves? sheep entrails ?
14:39 mircea_popescu he writes numbers on paper. problem ?
14:40 asciilifeform because what, he is a pashtun, never seen computer ?
14:40 mircea_popescu how is it your business how he runs his household!
14:40 asciilifeform not my business, i suppose, whether the man is coprophagic, but he forgot to wipe his mouth, it seems.
14:41 mircea_popescu it's the internet.
14:41 asciilifeform and now i have trouble distinguishing his mouth from arse.
14:46 phf i has a working keybase crawler..
14:46 mircea_popescu phf i already mostly extracted the userbase.
14:47 phf kk
14:47 mircea_popescu if you wanna do something, do the gwern thing, punkman disappeared ?
14:48 phf what gwern thing?
14:48 mircea_popescu http://btcbase.org/log/2016-05-04#1462750 << there's a 50gb dump of snapshots of dark markets.

14:48 mircea_popescu a) it should be downloaded anyway ; b) contains pgp keys.
14:48 phf hmm
14:48 mircea_popescu which should be extracted an' dumped to phuctor.
14:49 mircea_popescu not to mention their wot should be extracted also, ffu.
14:49 phf that's a whole Project
14:49 mircea_popescu so it is ; currently looking for a doer.
14:50 asciilifeform another thing that really needs 'a doer' is the hunt for ancient pgptrons
14:50 asciilifeform that might hold the magic.
14:50 mircea_popescu asciilifeform that will have to be user-provided.
14:50 mircea_popescu otherwise you're sending men to blow glass with lungs, warmed with arse.
14:50 mircea_popescu send men to where they have leverage - such as by exposing a whole swathe of usg "law enforcement" derps.
14:51 asciilifeform there weren't so many of'em
14:51 mircea_popescu at some point, esp the smaller markets, were 2/3 usg by mass
14:51 mircea_popescu like these things go.
14:51 asciilifeform classic
14:51 asciilifeform it wouldn't astonish me if it were 99%.
14:52 mircea_popescu phf anyway, at the very least that thing needs long term seeders ; which is a mitzvah.
14:52 punkman it's on archive.org so probably safe by now
14:52 mircea_popescu $gettrust archive.org
14:52 deedbot L1: 0, L2: 0 by 0 connections.
14:52 mircea_popescu entirely unsafe.
14:52 punkman 2tb will do in a pinch, does it have to run in polite mode on shared server?
14:53 phf well, as of right now it's not pulling at any rate
14:53 mircea_popescu punkman pgpgram me your ssh key, i'll add it and you can log into account. nothing really happening there atm, so you should be ok.

16:34 mircea_popescu by this theory i'm available for coming out of cakes at parties.
16:34 mircea_popescu except gavin ACTUALLY DOES IT!
16:35 BingoBoingo lol
16:36 asciilifeform perhaps it worked at some point. i have deeply nfi.
16:36 mircea_popescu yes, perhaps the moon is made of cheese.
16:36 mircea_popescu this isn't how things work.
16:37 asciilifeform eh henninger's proggy from that site (straight implementation of bernstein) works.
16:37 asciilifeform and besides, hot chix dun lie do they
16:37 asciilifeform lel
16:37 mircea_popescu sure, it works. and hanno boeck's ( http://trilema.com/2016/psa-hanno-bock-still-a-deceitful-shitbag/ )'s hands also work. in principle like that.
16:37 mircea_popescu they just don't do anything useful is all.
16:38 asciilifeform boeck took henninger's thing and ran it
16:38 asciilifeform afaik that was all.
16:38 mircea_popescu mno. he took it, and DIDNT run it.
16:38 asciilifeform there was an output in his shithub iirc
16:38 mircea_popescu and then claimed to have ran it, but then his claim ran into the jagged shores of reality when he could not produce ONE SINGLE VERIFIABLE STATEMENT
16:38 mircea_popescu in support of that claim.
16:38 asciilifeform ah yeah last year's boeck
16:39 asciilifeform this year's boeck reluctantly, grudgingly, ran the fucking proggy
16:39 asciilifeform on what looks like just our set of phucked keyz, handily loaded from our www.
16:39 mircea_popescu no he didn't. he didn't get as far as removing the dsa/ecc keys out of the sks dump to get a proper count of rsa moduli
16:39 asciilifeform or rather, a pruned (how, i didn't bother to see, but smaller) subset.
16:40 mircea_popescu snapshotted on some trilema article or other.

16:44 asciilifeform that would be mighty lulzy.

16:50 mircea_popescu who even fucking uses 16kb rsa.
16:51 mircea_popescu is that even a rsa modulus ?
16:51 asciilifeform i saw at least 1 of these.

19:22 mircea_popescu he has more lines, 500 bytes worth of primes, and supposedly more factored moduli

19:25 mircea_popescu can pretty much ignore him from here out, for all the difference his miserable existence will ever make to anyone.
19:25 asciilifeform imho he may well be the perp
19:25 asciilifeform the original one
19:25 mircea_popescu that a liar claims something doth not mean it is also worth investigating.
19:25 mircea_popescu that schmuck ? gimme a break.
19:25 mircea_popescu he didn't perp the insemination of his wife, what.
19:27 asciilifeform easy to test.
19:27 asciilifeform his primez will fatten the 8ball for a run and we see.
19:28 mircea_popescu as foretold in ... THE VERY LOGS!

19:44 jurov so, should i mess with the gpg conversion? or is there going to be possibility to feed raw (e,N,userinfo) data directly?
19:46 jurov to phuctor
~ 17 minutes ~
20:04 mircea_popescu jurov we want the key data anyway, you know, so as to publish the pages nicely.
20:04 mircea_popescu put the github url or w/e it is instead of the normal comment field
20:07 mircea_popescu i suppose this really ends up in a discussion of "we need a new format for rsa keys", doesn't it.
20:08 mircea_popescu even base64(csv of e,N,string) would be better than the current shit.

20:52 mircea_popescu lmao
20:52 ben_vulpes there's a deedbot ripoff doing the rounds as well
20:52 mircea_popescu what the fuck.
20:52 asciilifeform ben_vulpes: those are old nyooz
20:53 mircea_popescu what is with this, it's self-parodic by now.
20:53 asciilifeform there was a shit-combinator sponsored one at least a year ago
21:01 mircea_popescu asciilifeform more's the point : is phuctor happy with a e, n, userstring csv ?
21:01 asciilifeform right now mods have to link back to keys in the db
21:01 asciilifeform (as in, rfc4880 turds)
21:01 mircea_popescu "keys" ie, fingerprints ?
21:01 asciilifeform as in .asc
21:01 mircea_popescu that's calculated from N no ?
21:02 asciilifeform no, as in thrown in the submit box.
21:02 asciilifeform this is fixable but not immediately.
21:02 mircea_popescu aha. so no cheating here
21:02 asciilifeform not yet.
21:02 mircea_popescu there wouldn't really be anything to throw in the box for ssl keys tho
21:02 asciilifeform not yet.
21:02 asciilifeform unless want to generate a pgp 'box' for them.
21:03 mircea_popescu so is the logical thing here to just proclaim "rsa key, as per the republic, is a e, N, string tripled" and then, jurov can dump to THAT format and you'll import from that format later ?
21:03 asciilifeform aha, but it helps to leave some place for 'whose key this allegedly is'
21:03 asciilifeform otherwise the output becomes a pain to read.
21:03 mircea_popescu "string"
21:04 mircea_popescu no ?
21:04 asciilifeform aha.
21:04 mircea_popescu right. so the new standard for a rsa key is (e, N, userstring), and everyone's expected to produce THAT.
21:04 asciilifeform aha.
21:04 mircea_popescu alrighty then.
21:05 mircea_popescu jurov ^ feel free to extract as such and it'll be imported later on.

22:00 mircea_popescu "Pedofunding A crowdfunding site for child pornography, “Pedofunding”, was launched in November 2014. It seemed like possibly the birth of a new black-market business model so I set up a logged-out scrape to archive its beginnings (sans any images), collecting 20 scrapes from 2014-11-13 to 2014-12-02, after which it shut down, apparently having found no traction."

22:01 mircea_popescu i guess a bunch of weirdos have the usg to thank for their wholly delusional belief that child porn is "big business", somehiw.

22:16 asciilifeform 'I'm no longer as interested in the DNMs as I used to be. I was originally lured in by the fascination of watching a small cryptopunk revolution, and I was hopeful that it would go beyond the SR1 model into multisig and beyond.

Instead, the SR1 business

22:17 mircea_popescu asciilifeform he's not JUST into lesswrong, wikipedia, bla bla. he's also convinced "darknet" is relevant in general, that a bunch of inept shitheads were "a cryptoanarchist revolution" and, wonder of wonders, that the pill poppers had some sort of impact in bitcoin whatsoever.
22:17 mircea_popescu it boggles the mind, what nonsense people can sell themselves on, for lack of friends and anything useful to do.
22:18 asciilifeform frying brain like an egg with ??? also helps. presumably.
22:18 mircea_popescu he said what he was doing, some stimulant or other
22:18 mircea_popescu modafinil
22:19 asciilifeform that wouldn't explain it.
22:19 mircea_popescu maybe that's just the official truth.
22:19 asciilifeform it is in the logz - this is the pill that mircea_popescu wouldn't even notice if he ate.
22:19 asciilifeform prolly he also ate 10,001 'experimentals.'
22:20 mircea_popescu possibly.
22:20 asciilifeform it is ~also~ possible that he ate nothing.
22:20 mircea_popescu ah, and obviously - fully dedicated to "safety in tor"
22:20 asciilifeform when i was a bored, sn0r3d kid, reading usenet, i sometimes read the dope groups
22:20 asciilifeform and imagined what their 'trips' might feel like.
22:25 mircea_popescu i guess more or less like waking with a headache in a dirty bed with a woman you don't recall meeting.
