02:20 douchebag if you want I can verify that key
02:20 mircea_popescu pretty sure noone gives a shit about keybase anyway, so not much to verify.
02:20 douchebag true
02:20 mircea_popescu so what's this primefort thing do then ?
02:21 douchebag Primefort?

02:23 mircea_popescu dude they're really raping your content. why exactly not run your own blog like sane people ?
02:23 douchebag Eh, I could do that I haven't really blogged enough I suppose
02:24 mircea_popescu why not ?
02:24 mircea_popescu dja happen upon either ffa or eucrypt write-ups, as it happens ?
02:25 douchebag I'm not entirely sure what people would be interested in hearing about, and no I haven't
02:26 mircea_popescu aha. well, the argument here is that once you have a stable place of residence (as a mental construct) all sorts of things that were inaccessible before become attainable through sheer accumulation. a sort of equivalent to the historical pastoral to agricultural jump, if you will.

12:18 knubie A programmer was crossing a road one day when a frog called out to him and said, “If you kiss me, I'll turn into a beautiful princess.” He bent over, picked up the frog and put it in his pocket. The frog spoke up again and said, “If you kiss me and turn me back into a beautiful princess, I will stay with you for one week.”
12:18 knubie The programmer took the frog out of his pocket, smiled at it and returned it to the pocket. The frog then cried out, “If you kiss me and turn me back into a princess, I'll stay with you and do anything you want.” Again the programmer took the frog out, smiled at it and put it back into his pocket.
12:18 knubie Finally, the frog asked, “What is the matter? I've told you I'm a beautiful princess that I'll stay with you for a week and do anything you want. Why won't you kiss me?” The programmer said, “Look, I'm a programmer. I don't have time for a girlfriend -- but a talking frog, now that's cool.”

12:25 knubie mircea_popescu: 29
12:25 BingoBoingo Hay un bebe!
12:25 knubie (:
12:26 mircea_popescu you strike me rather as 15 ; but be that as it may -- stop with these inept/contextless dribbles and nonsense before someone cracks your wot standing. go do something useful, such as implement your own v version.
12:27 knubie that was actually an accidental paste in here.. sorry
12:29 mircea_popescu one day someone will manage to explain to me why this innate pubescent defensive mania anyway. what the fuck. so if you're a girl and you whore out, naked in the road, taking all cocks there is some risk of disease. but if you're a boy and you freely admit you're a boy, what the fuck supposedly happens ? they eat you ?
12:29 mircea_popescu who the fuck that was going to eat you because you're weak and stupid is going to NOT eat you now that you DONT ADMIT IT.
12:29 mircea_popescu wtf nonsense this is, primal stupidity of the human race.
12:38 BingoBoingo RE: shitholes -> “State Department officials said diplomats have been advised not to try to interpret or soften the President’s remarks but rather to listen and acknowledge the countries’ concerns.”
12:38 mircea_popescu o ya, that'll be a lulz, the purging of the blue state core.
12:39 mircea_popescu non-interpretative nikki hailey is kinda like "i don't think i am entitled to an oppinion on when i get fucked" feminist.
12:40 BingoBoingo AHA
12:41 BingoBoingo Anyways, Trump has a rather clear path to relection through his being censured by the African Union
12:41 mircea_popescu 2020 is a given, more interesting is the discussion around the reelection of 2024.
12:42 mircea_popescu he could pull a putin, have ivanka president for a cycle, just to bother the democrats.
12:42 BingoBoingo It's pretty clear in 2024 Trump will be too old and have to hand the reigns over to either Gary Busey or Omarosa
12:42 mircea_popescu "who got first woman in white house ? GRAB 'EM BY THE PUSSY!"
12:43 BingoBoingo But Omarosa is a blkkk womyn!
12:43 mircea_popescu BingoBoingo he's only what, 70 ?
12:43 mircea_popescu with any luck he can pack 4-5 terms in there.
12:44 BingoBoingo Perhaps, but his reported eating habits are too mainstream USian to be sure
12:45 mircea_popescu kuznetsov was what, ~1400 yo. podgorny idem.

20:58 esthlos would be simple enough to cook up if there's interest: sexp storage of paths for structure, calls to gpg to decrypt
20:59 shinohai Would be neat esthlos
20:59 danielpbarron i just dump to txt and then rm
21:00 danielpbarron if it's something to be preserved, sign and deed it
~ 30 minutes ~
21:30 mircea_popescu esthlos ~nobody uses automated decryption.
21:41 esthlos mircea_popescu: i'm thinking more 1. select thread to view, 2. insert/import/select decryption key, 3. enter pass, 4. show thread
21:41 esthlos reasonable?
21:42 asciilifeform why, in what universe do we need ~more~ liquishit touching gpggram plaintexts, rather than less..??
21:42 asciilifeform bad enuff that they have to touch a x86
21:42 asciilifeform and radiating vga
21:43 asciilifeform esthlos: consider taking a stab at an open problem that's ACTUALLY A PROBLEM ?
21:44 asciilifeform rather than a 'i dun fee like working on actual problems, so i'm make a microshit outlook for gpg' ??
21:44 asciilifeform avoid falling into the http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-04#1763687 trap, esthlos
21:44 a111 Logged on 2018-01-04 14:53 asciilifeform: 'hardware isn't easy to build therefore couldn't possibly be necessary, the gods would not have made this level so hard, for me, the hero' or similar.
21:45 esthlos apparently my real-problem radar needs training
21:45 asciilifeform esthlos: the answer lies in the logs
21:45 mircea_popescu i imagine this is somethiong he perceives he needs for himself which is the driver
21:45 asciilifeform esthlos: how many instances of 'i wish i had a gui for gpg' did you count in the logs ?
21:45 mircea_popescu esthlos what problem are you trying to solve here ?
21:45 asciilifeform i count 0.
21:48 esthlos mircea_popescu: how to organize and preserve gpg encrypted conversations for later reading
21:49 mircea_popescu consider maybe taking a bite out of the (afaik still unaproached) superproblem ?
21:49 mircea_popescu http://trilema.com/2015/a-proper-social-site-for-the-bdsm-community/ << got specced after the 2015 destruction / public humiliation of fetlife
21:50 esthlos hah, thought you were going to say non-shit gpg
21:50 mircea_popescu you know, there's a reason why the mp-emulator is an open problem sitll.
21:50 asciilifeform lol
21:50 esthlos but this...is doable
21:50 esthlos (by me)
21:51 mircea_popescu might also be useful ; in any case might be usable which is almost as good.
21:51 mircea_popescu look into diana_coman 's work re all the "Safe and good enough (tm) rsa"
21:51 mircea_popescu i dunno if you've been following eucrypt.
21:51 esthlos yes
21:51 mircea_popescu (note that there's no absolute reason above item has to import browser & js. could also be stand-alone proggy)
21:52 mircea_popescu the merger into gossipd and eulora later on -- obviously open avenue.
~ 21 minutes ~
22:14 esthlos alright, I will be thinking about this
22:18 esthlos I can imagine it being very cool in eulora. mpi in js sounds hairy
↖
22:26 mircea_popescu well, something you'll have to use./
22:26 mircea_popescu rsa in js seems hairy however you slice it.

22:49 asciilifeform meanwhile, for folx weary of modern-day scamola and flimflammery : some good ol'fashioned '90s swindle... http://redhill.net.au/b/b-bad.html
22:49 asciilifeform 'Here is our friend the anonymous 486 board again. See those black plastic things with metal legs on in the picture below? They look rather like cache RAM chips, don't they?'
22:51 asciilifeform 'How could the board run with cache enabled in BIOS but without any cache? Simple: the manufacturer had reprogrammed the BIOS to permanently disable external cache no matter which way you set it, and to report "256k cache enabled" during the boot sequence no matter what.'
22:53 asciilifeform best of all:
22:53 asciilifeform 'And this is why the BIOS chip was soldered directly into the board, instead of being socketed: not just to save using a 10c part, but so that you couldn't easily remove it and detect the fraud...'
22:54 mircea_popescu lmap
22:57 asciilifeform 'But there is a deeper moral: in a way, the real culprits were the hordes of greedy retail buyers who made it all possible. By relentlessly shopping on price, price and price, a great many Australian PC buyers left themselves wide open to this fraud. In the end, the one essential thing that makes con tricks possible and practical is the greed of the victim.'
22:57 asciilifeform whole thing worth reading.
~ 51 minutes ~
23:48 mircea_popescu half a moral. from the same place(not that it's not true to the point of triteness) " Quite often the most expensive boards are no better than the honest middle of the road ones, just priced higher."
23:50 mircea_popescu the problem is not SIMPLY a bunch of fucktards who shop for price only. the cause they shop for price only is that a) http://trilema.com/2016/please-stop-using-dns-already-and-other-considerations/#selection-711.0-711.610 ie they hallucinate themselves in a position of authority from whence they can make choices in the first place and THEN b) because the position is fictive rather than actual, they need some sort of substitut
23:50 mircea_popescu e criteria. so they pick price when shopping just as they pick cliffnotes and "is the A easy ??" classes when "educating" and "i just want to" when acting and so on ad infinitum.
23:51 mircea_popescu THIS is why expensive boards are just the same middle road shit overpriced, and THIS is why everything else : because the hallucination of self-importance is actually destructiv3e.
23:56 mircea_popescu buffettism through and through, "Could anyone really believe the earth was going to swallow up the incredible productive assets and unlimited human ingenuity existing in America?"
↖
23:57 mircea_popescu but what fucking "ingenuity", the last immigrant irishman long retired from the police force, what are we talking about ? "oh but mp, i went to a walmart called MIT, it says it's the premiere technical institution in the world right there in its brochure! surely i can come up with something technological!" "you mean like... a website ?" "yeah!" "totally, move to silicon valley and revolutionize the technowhatever" "SHIT YEAH!"
