"and while I considered myself no more competent to discuss Hegel's logic than Leibniz's mathematics, I failed to see why discussion of a subject like slavery by the former should be closed to literary intrusion when, in the case of the latter, such an intrusion had produced Candide." and there's the moneyshot.

ISP monthly statement will be published tomorrow following yet another rereading of the accounting standards, the lack of Qntra at the close of the year is a great disappointment.

08:25

In other news: breaking up is easy in a place where all the pretty girls smile at you.

08:25

Also the hostel staff have taken to recommending me as a tour guide/travel buddy to single brasileras traveling alone

08:26

And as the year closes out the problem of the chinches de cama appears to have been remedied through my secret campaign of chemical warfare

08:28

(Turns out ivermectin is not a guarenteed kill, but it usually paralyses them before they make it back to a hiding spot for easy disposal of the pests)

08:30

And on that note, I have a group to escort to the feria.

meanwhile in imperial narratives, "Parker Lewis Retweeted Vitalik Buterin This about sums it up, @brian_armstrong retweeting @vitalikbuterin about how creating sound money (not controlled by government) is not a meaningful achievement for society, the first thing that finally caused me to tweet"

09:30

for "society", right ? which fucking society ?

09:30

the "society" as a usg captive item, that thing ? the ghetto jewry of 2017, about to make pretty ash piles by 2040 ?

09:35

asciilifeform that thing is making me join ircnet!

09:36

mircea_popescu: it's pretty old, i have nfi whether d00d still in the saddle

09:37

one way to find out.

09:37

last item in linked blog , circa '15. but yea

09:37

ircnet.org first page has nfi it should put server and port somewhere ;/

09:37

or "Getting started" page

09:38

wtf is wrong with people!

09:38

'It is an "anarchistic" network without the channel services and nickname services you may find on other networks but this is deliberate since this is how IRC was designed to be used and our users tend to prefer it this way'

09:38

and their linked webchat (webchat.xs4all.nl) dies

09:38

how the fuck does one connect.

09:39

http://irc.tu-ilmenau.de/all_servers/ << finally.

09:41

these expeditions always seem to end with a catv. but asciilifeform looks forward to reading the postmortem.

09:41

ii2.org is dead... hub.irc.at doesn't answer, vienna.irc.at actually drops connections "unauthorized"...

09:41

so far they end up with a "holy shit brains are broken"

09:42

bigger minefield, richer village, neh

09:42

neh.

09:43

this is what i introduce as "the mmorpg fallacy" to the slavegirls. it's true that in mmorpgs some obscure vilage in the fucking mountains has the BEST fucking weapons + plasma armor and whatnot while the imperial capital somehow makes do with cotton rags and sharpened sticks to kill the rats.

09:43

HOWEVER, this has no bearing on how things work irl. irl, bigger minefield, dumber villagers.

09:43

holy shit irc.belwue.de also drops conns as "unauthorized"

09:43

this would depend, i suspect, on what's being kept in/out

09:44

did anyone mention german folk are fucked in the head for reason of being born there yet ?

09:44

in a time of decay, when what comes in is commissars, minefield is +ev

09:44

because srsly, it's better being born a nigger in alabama than being born a krautz in germany.

09:44

nao this is so

09:45

check it fucking out, irc.cs.hut.fi also drops conns. i'm starting to suspect this is the kiwi client rather than the servers. lessee here

09:45

betcha it's ad hoc spamola control, aha

09:50

ahaha!

09:50

not so ad-hoc!

09:51

hm?

09:51

(Closing Link: [unknown@b.clients.kiwiirc.com] (K-lined: BSP - Enable identd for access)) << now look into what that is lmao.

09:52

(identd ~= drm for irc)

09:53

holyfuq

09:53

so the guy you linked, yes ?

09:53

ancient idiocies that ~nobody even remembers existed!

09:53

the guy you linked lives on an irc network that does the EXACT equivalent of "we dug up this OBSCURE, DECADES OLD "you must run this software to play WoW" sorta nonsense.

09:53

explain this to me.

09:53

minefield.

09:54

no, see, that was the original theory. but now the "mines" are specifically targetted to thinking people.

09:54

so it's not a minefield, it's a "must be this short to ride" thing

09:54

takes some sweat to emulate whateverd auth, neh

09:54

wrong kind of sweat.

09:54

so keeps out low-effort indiancandies

09:55

mno, it's not the equivalent of "to enter this door, you must solve this puzzle". it's the equivalent of "to enter this door, you must suck this cock". so it allows strictly the indiancandies

09:55

(who will just shuffle through "apps" on their "phone" until one "works")

09:55

nao asciilifeform wonders if there's an irc net that requires you to, say, collide a sha1, before you can log in

09:56

https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1413 << idiocy even has a rfc, if anyone still had any shred of respect left for ietf.

09:56

mircea_popescu: i dunthink there is a 1980s identd app for ipnoje.

09:56

for 1 thing, it cannot work behind nat

09:56

which eliminates gsm , (as recently found) comcast, etc

09:58

mircea_popescu: linked item circa '93

09:58

yes.

09:58

betcha this keeps out ALL winblows users

09:58

all nat zeks. appleists..

09:58

i expect it keeps out everyone.

09:58

evidently not quite

09:59

right, because a guy who wrote something interesting in 2014 (free and unpaid for google's ezine he abandoned a year later) is spreading pearls of wisdom about there.

09:59

10:08

10:09

asciilifeform still not convinced that it wasn't a psyop, to build up street cred for schneiers . 0 convictions, 0 sentences, for 'pgp smugglers' afaik.

10:15

not even the tattooist d00d

10:15

funny you should mention that, because literally next line, From: Adam Back <aba@dcs.ex.ac.uk>

10:16

10:16

the 'illicit exporters' of '90s are today's 'cryptographic komyoonity'

10:17

so either 500+ d00dz all suffered exactly same dementia on same timetable, or.

10:21

i did say a claim.

10:21

possibly he had a variant. ( erryone has a variant ! even asciilifeform )

'March 7, 2003 - The SCO Group filed legal action against IBM in the State Court of Utah for trade secrets misappropriation, tortious interference, unfair competition and breach of contract. The complaint alleges that IBM made concentrated efforts to improperly destroy the economic value of UNIX, particularly UNIX on Intel, to benefit IBM's Linux services business.'

10:24

^ from linked vintagelul

10:24

lotta that yea

10:24

gotta luvv 'improperly destroy the economic value' phrase

10:26

it goes directly to the ugly truth at the bottom of the alt-usg (referenced above as 'cryptographic komyoonity' but rms's goons too [recently i've been seeing pompous "explanations" as to how linux is not a thing, it's just gnu os that matters btw]) : pure socialism.

10:27

pure barnaclism.

10:27

Hey, don't bad mouth RMS.

10:27

i can only with difficulty picture any of these folx, e.g. reading marx.

10:27

that's the echafaudage the whole "export controls" and "microsoft monopoly" and etc wrangling in the 90s and 00s was supposed to distract from : please choose between empire and the socialst alternative!

He is to be respected for his contributions to compsci.

10:27

zineKing not here.

10:28

zineKing: name one such contribution ?

10:28

mircea_popescu: aka 'good cop / bad cop'

10:28

preferably one that doesn't consist of "tried to", that's what my slavegirls say before getting the whip

10:28

asciilifeform: GNU.

10:29

zineKing how do you unpack this "gnu" symbol in your own head ?

10:29

zineKing: show an actual item, written by the man's own hand ?

10:30

gpl, for instance ( ignoring for a moment that it has 0 to do with computing ) was created by moglen

10:30

asciilifeform well there was that time he showed up at what-was-it-called mpex-wannabe and got some lunch money from amir taaki neh.

10:30

Not much might be written by him, but he is the founder.. Therefore he should be respected, just like I believe the founder of The Most Serene Republic ought to be respected.

10:30

zineKing: respected FOR WHAT?

10:30

i do not intend to be respected on the basis of "i can't explain why" if at all possible.

10:31

maybe if we're sexually intimate and respecter's underage, but even then... only briefly and still maybe.

10:31

Respected for his contribution, for founding GNU.

10:31

i for instance dug through lmi code base, that was leaked to me ( and iirc public for some yrs) , looked for interesting rmsism

shit's fucking epic, an all-in-one manual on how to not design crypto, how to not communicate your design, how to not think and so on.

11:07

but what it's truly interesting for, is just how disingenuous bernstein's "destruction" is. instead of a curt, and correct, "go study OTP and when you understand that, move up to lubby", he picks the wrong end of the mechanism to improperly reduce to a strawman. this is the risk of arguing with idiots -- if you're a normal person your social adjustment circuitry might entice you to make idiotic arguments in response and then

11:07

thirty years later people will grin at the record.

11:18

(as it happens here -- the year being 1991 lubby was still a decade away, and fountain codes poorly understood, so a honest mind might very well have ended up predating lubby through the exercise of trying to make a decent answer for this particular idiot. which process is exactly why "universities" exist in the first place, and teaching all-but-inescapable for researchers : it turns out that answering the malformed questions

upstack: the hilarity of http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-31#1761777 is that it is provably equivalent to otp. but author appears to not have even heard of xor. ( to asciilifeform's anticredit, he as a boy knew of xor, and still came up with exact same rubbish )

Logged on 2017-12-31 15:52 mircea_popescu: here's something for your collection of ancient crankware asciilifeform : http://www.ciphersbyritter.com/BRAID/BRAID.HTM

12:05

well obviously, it's ignorantly-generalized otp, which is why i said, "start with otp"

12:05

typical of 'boy inventors', we see following pattern:

12:05

exactly!

12:05

'There is the unavoidable problem of K exhaustion to be dealt with. The more streams we need, the faster we use up the K. But considering the ability of the system to provide a high level of confidence, there is nothing to prevent us from cheating a bit. A number of strategies for the rejuvenation of old K material can be left to the imagination of the clients...'

12:06

wait till you get to the strategies.

12:06

they are, IN EXACT ORDER, "1. nyah nyah my key was longer than i said it was"

12:06

i.e. 'take the fatal boojum and slide it under the carpet. bang! perfection!'

12:06

then "2. nyah nyah exhaustion turnoff superpower" and then "3. magical key fountain"

12:07

'which totally not same as a prng'

12:07

hey, a boy is born with a boy brain, it works the same way for all of them.

12:07

this is perpetuum mobile all over again

12:07

asciilifeform was a bona fide perpetuummobilist for whole, i think , yr

12:08

i never was, because i had met a collection of cvasi pms as a younger boy than that'd have come.

12:08

this , historically, was not a guaranteed cure tho

12:08

the "this item worked for 50 years, but STILL isn't pm" along with the famous "droppled of pitch" made some useful points for my head.

12:08

yeah, just luckily worked.

12:10

did they have the "this dropplet of pitch has been working its clockwork towards dropping for x decades" item in yoru space ?

12:10

invention + excuse-craft == crackpottery

12:10

we had perelman ( older perelman, not riemann's ) megab00k

12:10

ah

12:10

but i mean the physical object

12:11

i suspect a major "favourable factor" in the supposedly genetics-only "regression to mean" is poorly varied environment for the kids. ie, all sorts of important phenomena ("arbitrarily slow motion" say) not directly perceived.

kid ends up with broken heuristics.

12:12

and the problem with heuristics is -- they self-reinforce. BOTH if broken or if sound. proper knowledge only self-reinforces if sound, but heuristic approaches don't know their own dick from a hole in the ground.

12:12

mircea_popescu: i had physical objects largely from junkyard. with the obvious limitations. until, at least, the comp

12:13

asciilifeform local natl history museum had an ancient such item ; along with a yellow diamond and what all else. stored in these immense, pre 1900 wooden behemoths, at that.

12:13

it was quite impressive.

12:13

dunno if it still stands, but anyway.

12:14

there is a decent museum like this in usa -- smithsonian . but asciilifeform was already 10 by the time he saw it.

12:14

it works a lot better as "substitute palace of graybeard santas" if you're say 5.

12:14

aha

phunphakt -- today they have a 'lemelson hall of invention', which reads quite like a 'eichmann hall of judaism'

i was talking to someone and they were all indignant over " a set of international prizes in Life Sciences, Fundamental Physics and Mathematics, was founded by Sergey Brin and Anne Wojcicki, Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan, and Yuri Milner and Julia Milner." because who the fuck is zuckerberg.

"b) the key it does allow you to extract won't be used right away, but at an undetermined time in the futur, depending on the available store of key material, and on the volume of traffic," is actually included verbatim in DEFENSE of the utility of the scheme

12:46

sci.crypt was a magnet for these btw

12:46

aha.

12:46

just as sci.physics was for 'phree energy' and 'ditch j00-einsteinism' etc

12:47

d. f. boyd has a moment of illumination (yes, you've guessed it, i reed these mostly to see what THE EXPERTS say) : "what happens if i send a block of nulls ? what happens if i set a block of 1s ? what can i do with these two ?"

12:47

'I did publish, separately in sci.crypt, a nostalgic piece about a possible ancestor to this system. You can't very well accuse me of claiming novelty. There is a lot of deviousness and a bit of intelligence in what I proposed, but the novelty is in the way I implement the idea, and in the beneficial side effects.'

http://www.ciphersbyritter.com/BRAID/91062402.HTM << the champagne bits are choice. the part where "we have fallen out of the system, it's all key driven" even better. this guy's a fabulous kook. i almost think it's worthwhile to make him a reference for discussion of crypto.

13:13

specifically because http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-31#1761851 ; i have the lingering suspicion i have read something like say "The key management stream is not distinguishable from the rest of the stuff, be it noise, or plaintext." stated in other hands before.

"One aspect I have been studying, which nobody raised, is that we could find ourselves with a dynamic system, as the key that is generated will be used to program the key generator. This could be a builtin limit to my approach. I still have to think about it. On the other hand, if I could tune it for chaos..."

13:21

LETS TUNE FOR CHAOS!

13:22

this is it, there is no more needed. what i wish to know of all future cryptosystems is simply "ok mr x, you have here a cryptosystem, but answer me this : IS IT TUNED FOR CHAOS ?"

and then a coupla days later : "Objective: Design a method which would allow for the availability of an infinite length random key (automated one-time pad generation), from a finite store of random material."

danielpbarron: The operation succeeded.

14:33

woops, it also gives the same output if i do ./install.sh /dev/sda

14:33

you didn't tell it what device to install to.

14:33

ya ya i just did that one for the wotpaste but it's the same output

14:34

gotta actually read the script, see what command it was running.

14:34

i tried that!

14:34

lol, one sec, lemme see what's happening in that part

14:34

just making sure /dev/sda is what you call a mount point

14:34

i also tried pre-formatting it and specifying /dev/sda1

14:35

and also tried pre-mounting and specifying /mnt/gentoo

14:35

hold on, what are you booting from?

14:35

a gentoo live cd/usb thing

14:35

kinda old

14:36

paste the actual output with sda; I suspect it's different.

14:37

the line in question is the one creating a new partition table with parted

14:37

look at the command it's creating and see if your parted supports it or not

14:37

http://wotpaste.cascadianhacker.com/pastes/Qs9QW/?raw=true

14:38

i did try manually typing that parted line and it returned fine (i think)

14:38

by that i mean it returned a blank line return

14:39

well that's not entirely true, what is that final $ thing in the parted line

14:39

ah shit, my instructions are wrong.

14:39

one sec, updating blog

14:39

lol

14:39

I added a param for the kernel config to use, see top

14:40

top of what, i refreshed the blog post and i don't see a difference

14:40

top of the script you're reading!

14:40

:D

14:40

i should redownload? ok

14:41

no.

14:41

hold your horses; I'm saying if you look at the top of the script you have, you can see that there are two parameters.

14:42

aha, the kconfig

14:42

aw shit, i have to provide my own kernel config :<

14:42

which i have, let's give it a shot

14:44

danielpbarron: post updated

14:45

ok this time it still says "build is not a mountpoint" but it seems to be doing something so far

14:45

yep, it checks to see if build is already mounted, unmounts if so.

14:46

makes the dev loop on the thing easier, edit script, rebuild.

14:46

aaaaand my sketchy chinese usb drive crashed the laptop when i unplugged ffffff

14:46

wahaha

14:46

hey your testing is greatly appreciated.

14:47

for the lol record, i got this usb drive many years ago from the roger verified memorydealers site for what is now probably thousands of USD worth of bitcoin

danielpbarron takes a sip of eggnog latte with overproof rum

14:59

good deal. too bad I'm out of nog or I'd join in.

15:00

if you want to poke around in the build after it's done (or breaks), it'll still be mounted for you to chroot in.

15:01

so i wanna put eulora on this thing when it finishes. i'm curious does it already have asciilifeform's crapolade mask file or is that the kind of thing i have to put in manually?

15:03

see the masks and removed useflags in the build script

15:03

has not specifically asciilifeform's list, though I'm pretty sure mine encompasses it. if it lacks something, point it out and it'll get added.

15:04

mostly asked because someone will probably wonder the same and now they have something to read in the log. i'll give it a look when it finishes
