pete_dushenski: of those 3, prague definitely has the best womenz

mircea_popescu: THAT can lead to excellent conversation

pete_dushenski: "One way to un-cast the Islamic State’s spell over its adherents would be to overpower it militarily and occupy the parts of Syria and Iraq now under caliphate rule. Al‑Qaeda is ineradicable because it can survive, cockroach-like, by going underground. The Islamic State cannot. If it loses its grip on its territory in Syria and Iraq, it will cease to be a caliphate. Caliphates cannot exist as underground mov
pete_dushenski: ements, because territorial authority is a requirement: take away its command of territory, and all those oaths of allegiance are no longer binding. Former pledges could of course continue to attack the West and behead their enemies, as freelancers. But the propaganda value of the caliphate would disappear, and with it the supposed religious duty to immigrate and serve it.

pete_dushenski: not that midwest isn't also full of 'em
mircea_popescu: well yeah.
mircea_popescu: anyway, who the fuck came up with the territorial nonsense quoited above anyway ?
pete_dushenski: http://gcaw.net/ << graeme wood in an article for 'the atlantic'
mircea_popescu: you'd think people actuaslly involved in strategic planning have enough of a tin ear to hear the sort of "o noes, things aren't like we have emotionally invested ourselves into them being, let us rehash how trhings shjould be so we don't have to change or even examine our priors" whine.
mircea_popescu: territory's not worth squat. bitcoin, tmsr~ does actually better than any known state PRECISELY because all its territory is virtual.
mircea_popescu: territory was important when the economy was based on working the land.
mircea_popescu: then the industrial revolution came, and england was the size of a cumsplotch, and it didn't matter.

nubbins`: mild panic this past winter when i realized the obstruction my metal snow shovel wouldn't pound through was... fibre into the house

nubbins`: it's useful if the telco tells you to fuck off
nubbins`: look, your phone's connected to x towers right now, each with a diff signal strength. basic math gives a rough location
nubbins`: stingray would ostensibly be a single-point unit, less useful for triangulation, more of a "warmer/colder" style
pete_dushenski: makes sense.
pete_dushenski: telco telling cops to fuck off though ? maybe 10 years ago.
pete_dushenski: not that there wouldn't be some red tape and paperwork, i suppose.
nubbins`: go back and re-watch The Wire and see the hassle they went through tapping cell phones, and then imagine giving them a suitcase that blasts out the strongest cell signal in the projects so every phone preferentially tries to connect to it
nubbins`: it's a boon for cops
pete_dushenski: the wire was also 10 years ago
pete_dushenski: based on intel older than that
nubbins`: sure, and a lot of the problems surrounding that part of the puzzle are different now
nubbins`: but in all cases, going through official routes to get info from telco vs just turning on a piece of kit?
nubbins`: especially if your department head doesn't give a fuck when/where you use your stingray

nubbins`: oh, it just might
nubbins`: if pumpkin futures for october are through the roof, why wouldn't they be even higher just after xmas?

trinque: alphonse23_: that irccloud thing seems like a turd
trinque: if the logs are any indication
alphonse23_: what do the logs say?
shinohai: I hate irccloud
alphonse23_: I pay for it

trinque: irc is free man
alphonse23_: it is, but they do the archiving for you
alphonse23_: which is nice
shinohai: For real. I use a shell and weechat
trinque: you mean... logs?
trinque: alphonse23_: all clients do logs
alphonse23_: yes, they keep track of the history of all the channels I'm in
shinohai: I can grep logs right from my client
alphonse23_: so I never miss anything
alphonse23_: but it depends if the channel is logged
alphonse23_: not all channels are logged
shinohai: nope, my client keeps logs
alphonse23_: I think I got it specificically for channels that I wanted to logged, that didn't have anyone doing it for them.
trinque: alphonse23_: dude, all clients log
alphonse23_: really? but do you keep your computer on at all times?
shinohai: unless you webcht
trinque: ah ok, I see what you mean by log now
trinque: alphonse23_: this is generally a "bouncer" you run elsewhere from your local computer
trinque: and which you connect to with your client
trinque: they've webified that, but people have done it since ancient times

danielpbarron: oh is his key phucked?
alphonse23_: is a bouncer a server
BingoBoingo: danielpbarron: Not that I know of, but dude wanted to know if it was trolling, so the solution is point them to the fount of data
trinque: alphonse23_: yessir
alphonse23_: do I have to purchase the server?
trinque: alphonse23_: yup, or run a second box at home
trinque: decent intro to fiddling with such things if you never have
alphonse23_: well. maybe I could do that.
alphonse23_: I wonder though. I pay irccloud 5 dollars a month
BingoBoingo: alphonse23_: Well, if you want to be a dick you could use botnet slaves as IRC bouncer, but easier to leave an old machine on at home to bounce IRC. Black and white Macs are ideal
danielpbarron: i assumed anything that he might have read that pointed to this channel would have also linked to the real phuctor but yeah ok
alphonse23_: owning a server, even if it's through digital ocean, would still be slightly more expensive.
trinque: I think linode starts out at 10 bucks a month
alphonse23_: see, more than irccloud
trinque: tons of virtual hosting things out there
trinque: the main benefit would be learning
shinohai: try hashbang, it's free
alphonse23_: k, I have othing things I'd like to learn that to setup something to log an irc channel
BingoBoingo: WHo only logs one IRC channel?
alphonse23_: for instance, I'd like to actually understands rsa factoring

alphonse23_: yup
alphonse23_: what's up
williamdunne: Two identical twin brothers at a festival, guy tries to cheat on his girlfriend with some bird
asciilifeform: alphonse23_: author of 'phuctor' speaking. you had questions ?
williamdunne: Brother calls him out
williamdunne: They argue with each other
williamdunne: The other brother fucks his bird
alphonse23_: what does 4096 refer to
alphonse23_: the maximum size of the primes
asciilifeform: alphonse23_: no. the size of the modulus, typically a product of two primes
alphonse23_: or the maximum size of what the two primes are multiplied to each other?
williamdunne: Bits of entropy
alphonse23_: so 4096 is the maximum size of the product of the two primes?
williamdunne: Only on Debian
alphonse23_: doesn't that only leave a handful of primes though
alphonse23_: you could just check them all.
alphonse23_: right?
asciilifeform: is the question specifically concerning the buggy debian rng ?
asciilifeform: or rsa in general
williamdunne: RSA in general
williamdunne: Debian was a joke on my part
asciilifeform: williamdunne: i think we have a genuine noob here, and you are addling him
asciilifeform: williamdunne: please stop.
alphonse23_: i'm not that big of a noob
williamdunne: alphonse23_: This might help you understand what the 4096 means
alphonse23_: just not an expert
asciilifeform: alphonse23_: 'checking them all', given current of foreseeable technology, would take several thousand years.
alphonse23_: and what point are you not a noob
alphonse23_: maybe you can ask that about everything
alphonse23_: and maybe I shouldn't care
trinque: alphonse23_: noob's not an insult
trinque: "beginner's mind"
asciilifeform: alphonse23_: rsa is not especially complicated. you can understand the basic idea after an hour's study
alphonse23_: yea, I've read a fair share of online guides about it
alphonse23_: I kind of understand
alphonse23_: still don't get elliptical curve cryptography at all.
asciilifeform: alphonse23_: 'phuctor' deals only with traditional rsa keys.
alphonse23_: twitter works on 2056 I think
alphonse23_: why no go decrypt some twitter traffic or something
alphonse23_: what's the purpose of all this?
asciilifeform: alphonse23_: basic idea, which is very old, is that euclid's greatest-common-divisor algorithm is very fast, for arbitrarily large numbers. so if two or more rsa keys were to share a factor, it will pop up.
williamdunne: Can only break bad keys
asciilifeform: alphonse23_: the idea is to find evidence of sabotaged implementations of rsa key generator.

alphonse23_: interesting
alphonse23_: I've never heard of the sks key server
asciilifeform: alphonse23_: it isn't one specific server, but a network of mirrors
asciilifeform: entirely automatic
asciilifeform: typically users of pgp/gpg upload their public keys there, and they can later be retrieved by anyone using a hash of the key
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 8400 @ 0.00033258 = 2.7937 BTC [-]
alphonse23_: oh, so if you want to store your pgp some where, so anyone can verify it's you, you upload it to sks
alphonse23_: i've been using a service called keybase.io lately. Is that a noob service?
ben_vulpes: !s keybase
assbot: 64 results for 'keybase' : http://s.b-a.link/?q=keybase
shinohai: keybase blows
williamdunne: Personally I like it, just don't store your keys there
alphonse23_: I have some invite codes
asciilifeform: alphonse23_: if you let them generate keys for you, they have your private key. this ought to be elementarily obvious
alphonse23_: if anyone wants them :)
alphonse23_: that's a good point asciilifeform
shinohai: Thats just it, I wouldn't be storing my keys there.
alphonse23_: that generate the primes right in front of you! :)
alphonse23_: *they generate the primes
williamdunne: shinohai: Exactly, you don't have to, to use the service :)
alphonse23_: I guess it's made very user friendly though
shinohai: It's nice and all, but I just don't see the advantage over plain gpg
alphonse23_: it comes with a CLI app that lets you verify anyone on their servers
asciilifeform: alphonse23_: it is 'user friendly' in the same way that a mousetrap is mouse-friendly
trinque: alphonse23_: ever heard "if it's free, you're the product" ?
alphonse23_: maybe though the issue is, where would one store a public key. on whose server
alphonse23_: it would probably be like facebook, if it ever got popular. Which ever server became the most widespread.
shinohai: Don't. Use a keyring or a yubi.
BingoBoingo: <alphonse23_> maybe though the issue is, where would one store a public key. on whose server << Ideally if you want people to find your public key you spray it all over, but especially spray it in venues associated with your identity.
asciilifeform: alphonse23_: there is a large and well-established network of public key servers. e.g., https://pgp.mit.edu and other sks
alphonse23_: I have many online identities. I think keybase.io purpose is to verify and unify those identities
asciilifeform: alphonse23_: they all mirror one another.
alphonse23_: so people know it's you
asciilifeform: alphonse23_: for people whom you will never meet, 'you' are the key. and nothing else.
alphonse23_: had no idea. I only used keybase.io because someone I know was using it, and I thought it was a great idea.
trinque: alphonse23_: if someone other than you knows your private key, it is by definition not private
alphonse23_: I don't give out my private key
asciilifeform: alphonse23_: except to keybase?
danielpbarron: alphonse23_, the sites that keybase lets you link to your identity aren't really worth linking to your identity
alphonse23_: well. they don't have my private key
shinohai: ^ danielpbarron
asciilifeform: alphonse23_: if you let them generate it, they have it
trinque: keybase sticks it in browser local storage, right?
alphonse23_: but they did show the primes generated for it when I signed up for the service
trinque: alphonse23_: all they have to do is ship you some javascript once that reads that and transmits it elsewhere
alphonse23_: so you could say it's a compromised service
asciilifeform: alphonse23_: the very idea is braindamaged
alphonse23_: ok fine. But should I not trust keybase...
alphonse23_: I'm not sure. I was just trying out the service
williamdunne: alphonse23_: Its compromised if you a) generate your keys with them, or b) store your keys with them.
alphonse23_: but yes, I should probably micromanage my own keys and passwords
williamdunne: Its not even micromanaging, its just owning
trinque: one should use the same precautions with their bitcoin private keys.
trinque: you only own the coin if you *own* the private keys in the strictest sense
danielpbarron: the recommendation in here is to not even use newer versions of gpg, let alone some add-on made by a dating website guy
asciilifeform: alphonse23_: if someone else has a copy of your private key, whether because you let them generate it for you, or gave it up for storage for 'convenience', he can do anything which you can do. this ought to be obvious
danielpbarron: !up alphonse23_

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform today i had to look into mod security. which somehow didn't run, tho it was included in apache. which needed to be recompiled. which failed. do you happen to have any idea what apache's like incidentally ?
mircea_popescu: apache is a lot like bitcoin, actually.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it is an ancient horror, yes
decimation: why is it so complicated to shit stuff on port 80
mircea_popescu: apache may be the worst codebase ever written
mircea_popescu: which reminds me of a bit of idiocy, brb
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: nah, the old netscape crud (from which we get 'mozilla' et al) is probably worse

mircea_popescu: "Before Borland's new spreadsheet for Windows shipped, Philippe Kahn, the colorful founder of Borland, was quoted a lot in the press bragging about how Quattro Pro would be much better than Microsoft Excel, because it was written from scratch. All new source code! As if source code rusted."
mircea_popescu: "The idea that new code is better than old is patently absurd. Old code has been used. It has been tested. Lots of bugs have been found, and they've been fixed. There's nothing wrong with it. It doesn't acquire bugs just by sitting around on your hard drive. Au contraire, baby! Is software supposed to be like an old Dodge Dart, that rusts just sitting in the garage? Is software like a teddy bear that's kind of gross if
mircea_popescu: it's not made out of all new material?"
mircea_popescu: the idea that new code is better than old IS NOT patently absurd when the old code was writen by unaware idiots.
mircea_popescu: like netscape was. like apache was. "but mp... it works!"
mircea_popescu: fuck your mother with a clay pot.
mircea_popescu: "Back to that two page function. Yes, I know, it's just a simple function to display a window, but it has grown little hairs and stuff on it and nobody knows why. Well, I'll tell you why: those are bug fixes. One of them fixes that bug that Nancy had when she tried to install the thing on a computer that didn't have Internet Explorer. Another one fixes that bug that occurs in low memory conditions. Another one fixes th

asciilifeform: they live in microshitland
asciilifeform: where even this is not enough, and they leave nop sleds (yes) in the binaries, for hot-patching (and virii)

asciilifeform: to be fair, most often these folks are of the 'ours is not to question why, ours is but to do and die' (TM) (R) variety.
mircea_popescu: thing is... i might be the only suit that can tell the difference between bad and good code, on account of being the only suit that is also literate. as in, literature-literate.
decimation: and also, they generally profit at the end of the day
mircea_popescu: nevertheless, it is readily observable and quite visible.
decimation: it 'works', they 'made money', who is to question?

gabriel_laddel: mod6: I have a *working* funtoo install guide, which is for all intents and purposes the same as gentoo
gabriel_laddel: it has been tested twice, is solid
mod6: feel free to send it my way.
gabriel_laddel: !s system.html
assbot: 10 results for 'system.html' : http://s.b-a.link/?q=system.html
mod6: i'll try it out. i hosed up my grub; haven't had a chance to tinker/rebuild yet.
gabriel_laddel: Section #2, Installing
mircea_popescu: " This is a time consuming PITA. "
mircea_popescu: i feel encouraged.
gabriel_laddel: it'll eat an entire day

mircea_popescu: "If your system's date and time are too far off (typically by months or years,) then it may prevent Portage from properly downloading source tarballs. "
mircea_popescu: motherfucker.
gabriel_laddel: mircea_popescu: yeah, portage needs to die - 70k loc, python.
mircea_popescu: it's just... why the fuck would the color of your blouse decide whether it rains that day
mod6: thanks, just took a look. im not even sure my problems are gentoo related exactly. i think i have a good /etc/fstab. and i /think/ my partition table was setup correctly with fdisk. this pos box had win7 on it, im guessing it's MBR and not EFI.
decimation: possibly because it tries to download timestamped files?
decimation: on the other hand, how hard would it be to use ntpdate first
gabriel_laddel: why would it need to download timestamped files?
mod6: but when i boot up, i get "grub2> " prompt and then shit like this: "(hd0) (hd0,msdos1) (hd0,msdos2) (hd0,msdos3) (hd0,msdos4) (fd0)"
mod6: well, after an `ls` at the grub prompt anyway.
mod6: i basically created a livecd, did everything as instructed through the gentoo handbook.
decimation: I donno, I didn't program it. I still remember cursing portage a decade ago while recompiling X again
gabriel_laddel: mod6: I'd compare your fdisk -l /dev/sda with the contents of /etc/fstab
mod6: gabriel_laddel: werd. it /seems/ right. but like I said, maybe another look will tell the tale. i'll be checking it out more tomorrow.
decimation: mod6: creating an 'installer' that will work on abitrary hardware is not easy at all
mod6: if all else fails, i'll give your guide a shot.
mircea_popescu: decimation it's due to the cert business.
decimation: ah makes sense
mircea_popescu: because god fucking forbid you download pgp signed matter and verify it locally

decimation: I tend to agree that expiration dates don't belong on keys

decimation: key expiration is kinda like the 'colored coins' idea
decimation: no it does not
mircea_popescu: heh i guess so
decimation: but nevertheless someone thought they should program a check for the expiration date on the pki cert
decimation: and/or "it couldn't possibly be valid if my wall-clock says so"
mircea_popescu: it's just this entire frantic activity as a cover-up for impotence.
mircea_popescu: retarded people who do not belong in front of a computer try their darndest to "make it secure" but have no fucking idea what that is
mircea_popescu: so they just throw things at it. "Can't hurt, right ?" "test more things"
mircea_popescu: "nobody can say we're not hard at work over here"

gabriel_laddel: mod6: fyi, if you follow that funtoo install guide and don't use the masamune-specific replacements you'll end up with a binary kernel (funtoo has already started decaying) - make sure you use the KERNEL section of system.html if nothing else

asciilifeform: i recently learned, to some surprise, that ru is now a destination for immigrants

Landgull: Bingo: Go to Georgia - your visitor's visa is good for 360 days out of 365 (take a trip across a border to anywhere, or just give someone a $10 bribe) and English is becoming the new state language, replacing Russian, so native English speakers are in demand.
