Vexual: i add sulphur with wine
mircea_popescu: http://seclists.org/oss-sec/2014/q4/595 << meanwhile mitre (which is very much a usg-thing) is coming out with a "you know they don't really need to work because they're special kids".
assbot: oss-sec: Re: CVE-request: systemd-resolved DNS cache poisoning ... ( http://bit.ly/1zNRZyO )
mircea_popescu: so impressive.
asciilifeform: mitre is just an epsilon short of being an official organ, yes
asciilifeform: 'non-profit, ngo!'
mircea_popescu: then 5 different names have to waste the time out of their day, come in and say yo fuckwits!
mircea_popescu: and the usg wins anwyay, for the exact reason spam works : those five people were tied up for the five minutes they took to write and the however many it took them to consider all the angles.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile the attackers can just keep right on firing packets
mircea_popescu: and you know, talk abut "do-ocracy". the fake do-ocracy of they firing out syn packets and then closing the socket.
mircea_popescu: and so you know, to quote pankkake, "So, we'll see if the end-users actually want to commit resources on not using systemd."
mircea_popescu: right, those same resources that are drained away with crafted bullshit like this, a million different places.
mircea_popescu: because there is no punishment for the anon derp hiding behind "From: cve-assign () mitre org"
mircea_popescu: just like there's no punishment for the anon derp hiding behind "contributed a patch to openssh"
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: this is why, in my unofficial wonderland, you can't even open a socket without transmitting an rsa-signed a 'this is me, and my wot' breath of life packet.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform in any case, my original change to github and generally the mangement of open source codebase of "add a read by X" field is not actually enough.
undata hopes to see any of the things asciilifeform has described someday
mircea_popescu: there must also somehow be added in there a "no dependencies" rule, somehow.
mircea_popescu: "your program must work whether any or all the dependencies exist on the syste"
mircea_popescu: and a simple "not all dependencies found, exiting" is not good enough.
mircea_popescu: it must still do everything not related.
asciilifeform: this is not high science, it was the original intent of the lowly gnu autoconf, even.
mircea_popescu: the fucking networking widget should instal and run without netbase, and do everything including populate the fucking fields and drawing the graphs.
mircea_popescu: right. but follow through = exactly what you'd expect, if redmond ran things.
undata: portage does a pretty good job of that
undata: as long as the maintainer bothered, and the package is configurable
mircea_popescu: this is actually true huh
undata: use flags are a bit of a blunt instrument, but they work
mircea_popescu: yeah, you have a point.
asciilifeform: back to syn packets, signed breath-of-life neatly licks ddos.
asciilifeform: all comms answered in priority of wot rank.
mircea_popescu: only if every router out there actually implements this scheduling
mircea_popescu: it WOULD give the old re-routability properties of the web a lot of value again.
mircea_popescu: ie, "are or are you not reachable through some node somewhere that doesn't think you're a total waste of biological matter."
mircea_popescu: the exact opposite of "anonimity", of course.
asciilifeform: a 4096-bit rsa signature and key fp fit handily in a udp minimal packet.
asciilifeform: i'm going to confess now that i implemented this...
asciilifeform: and am sitting on it
asciilifeform: because not ready for battlefield yet, and other work
mircea_popescu: mats_cd03: what is the origin of this 'power rangers' nick? << hours after the fork gavin & hearn brought upon the network through their alleged ineptitude (which allegation i don't credit, it was deliberate)
undata: asciilifeform: where's your kyristor post? I want to re-read it.
mircea_popescu: the gushing hordes on reddit were so very impressed with how the idiots in question "fixed" the problem (through leveraging a 50%+1 attack against the blockchain, thourgh meanwhile discredited bircoin mining pools)
asciilifeform: undata: if you believe, http://kyristor.com
assbot: kyristor ... ( http://bit.ly/1xFs7WC )
mircea_popescu: that they went all "o you dudes are like power rangers"!!!
asciilifeform: wasn't talking about that, though.
mircea_popescu: the name stuck.
kakobrekla: i liked asciis story better!
asciilifeform: 'kyristor' was a set of pencilled notes in an old 3ring.
undata: asciilifeform: you're about a mile over my head, but the n-axis WoT idea has had my brain churning since hearing about it
assbot: In re Bitcoin Devs are idiots ... ( http://bit.ly/1xFsnF2 )
mircea_popescu: "I'm not sure this is getting through the fog of their own farts, but the group of power rangers has so far:
mircea_popescu: 1. Not produced one single brilliant solution to any actual problem.
mircea_popescu: 2. Stepped in a majority of the holes, landmines and caltrops available.
mircea_popescu: 1 is of particular concern, especially because it is so easily disprovable."

decimation: asciilifeform: I'm not sure you really need tcp at all if you have a crypto-wot
undata: asciilifeform: the crude idea I had previously was just trying to jam a WoT into the blockchain
mircea_popescu: undata i recall this.
decimation: why bother with the illusion of a private point-to-point connection if you can deploy a nice global namespace
asciilifeform: decimation: in point of fact, you can get by without either tcp or the proverbial 'bad reimplementation' of it
decimation: I think mr. yarvin pointed to some internet elder figure who was hawking this idea (also urbit)
asciilifeform: decimation: one can use error-coding to get around lost and re-ordered packets.
decimation: exactly
decimation: tcp really is pretty retarded if you think about
asciilifeform: this also neatly dovetails into 'apocalyptic shortwave radio' net.
decimation: it violates the principle of "the highest protocol layer ought to control" (end-to-end argument)
mircea_popescu: decimation it's not retarded if you think of how fucking cheap it is.
decimation: exactly
mircea_popescu: think about that. think about the early days of bbs, which is how routing fucking got invented in the first placer
mircea_popescu: "deliver all the mail locally, cheaper calls"
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the excess packets - cheap. the ddosyness - no.
decimation: well, in elder days when the internet wasn't full of orcs it kinda seemed ok
decimation: now the costs are different
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it was five cents a minute yo! at the time a minute meant one page, or a gallon of gasoline.
asciilifeform: everything in future will work - or not - depending on how readily it cuts through swaths of orcs.
decimation: the point is, IP provides an elegant many-to-many mapping of network nodes
mircea_popescu: if the average per-kb page of internet communication were one gallon of gasoline, i wouldn't have to explain to idiots why i don't want to see "webcasts" and why im in irc.
decimation: tcp pretends that doesn't exist
mircea_popescu: for the reason.
mircea_popescu: that most calls cost money, but plenty didn't, so optimized.
decimation: really, what the existing internet fails at is a decent multicast model
mircea_popescu: Vexual: remember, this lady prolly get free handbags and parties << not in romania, not really. she gets free $5 drinks. which... you know.
decimation: this too could be implemented with crypto-wot routers
decimation: !up Vexual
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla: no that wasnt the question << i guess time will tell no ?
Vexual: lol she might as well be cazallas au pair
mircea_popescu: decimation you sound like an adult man falling in love with a dirty young hussy.
asciilifeform: wotnet.
asciilifeform: 'you read it here phirst (tm)'
kakobrekla: mircea_popescu no the question was did someone abuse the britneychain
decimation: well, multicast might be a shortcoming in ip
kakobrekla: bad in da day.
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla well we don't know yet and apparently won't know for a while, rigt ?
mircea_popescu: i personally blame ben_vulpes
mircea_popescu: we (tm) don't think so, but we (tm) would very much like this cultish belief verified independently and scientifically.
kakobrekla: and if it did, what is one going to do about it. (my take is: nothing, continue to suck cock)
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla sell out bitcoin, start new implementation.
mircea_popescu: the revolution can not be stopped.
kakobrekla: we do it anyway, lets not pretend on top.
asciilifeform: can at least upgrade to sucking with disgust, rather than unwittingly, or worse, eagerly
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla i do not see it.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform no, i would just sell all my bitcoins, start a new chain.
kakobrekla: new new chain on great great x86
assbot: Logged on 23-11-2014 04:53:31; asciilifeform: quite possibly this is ideal scenario. a hardfork that sane folks on the whole planet would immediately flee to.
kakobrekla: lalala
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla it's one thing to live in mud, it's another thing to live in excrement.
Vexual: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UfGMj10wOzg& whoa steady on, you can improve disco without ruin
decimation: and it's another to do so without any imagining the possibility of an alternative
asciilifeform: there is always an escape, even if you have to chew own leg off.
asciilifeform: but preferably - with all four legs.
asciilifeform: attached, that is.

Symantec believes that some targets may be tricked into visiting spoofed versions of well-known websites and the threat may be installed through a Web browser or by exploiting an application. On one computer, log files showed that Regin originated from Yahoo! Instant Messenger through an unconfirmed exploit."

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform btw, because i remembered doing the research for my latest : speaking of the "how about you stop sending niggers" thing - the romanian secret service arrested a few dozen men mid december 1989 who were travelling to timisoara by themselves. no women, no children, "vacation". they had all heard that this was the oldest town in europe with electric illumination.

mircea_popescu: so romanian presidential elections were 30%-40% first round, then 54% - 45% 2nd round. then they made a poll to see who people voted with, and 66% claim to have voted wioth the winner. that's 12% more than actually did. what fraction of that is people lying, and what fraction is votes stolen ?

While we meant to invite debate about some ways the word was used this year, that nuance was lost, and we regret that its inclusion has become a distraction from the important debate over equality and justice."
mats_cd03: kek.
mircea_popescu: wait. so they banned words from the poll to ban words ?
mats_cd03: don't play the game if you can't take the heat, playa
mircea_popescu: and they have a poll about "what" pre-decided words to ban ?
mircea_popescu: how very feminist, progressive and pseudo-justice anti-social of them
mircea_popescu: "we want to have a democratic process for as long as the results come out the way we like. we also want science that confirms our preconceived notions".

ben_vulpes: how'd they eat?
mircea_popescu: and before you're shocked : at least half gawker employees are in exactly the same situation . if the thing didn't happen to be an organ of the socialist press, they'd be in prison like that indian diplomat for "slave labour"
mircea_popescu: how do whores generally eat ? around the cock in their mouth.

mircea_popescu: yeah well... it gets better. they mostly owe to banks, have wives and children
ben_vulpes: (the girls of my generation, i mean.)
mircea_popescu: they took out credits in swiss francs because they were 1% cheaper before the swiss franc doubled in value over a summer, so they could pay 80k for a shitty prefab apartment in a shitty bucharest neighbourhood,
mircea_popescu: ie, 3x what a house apparently costs in ohio (and that 1% was off ~14% a year, mind)

ben_vulpes: i struggle with the flipside of the debt thing - what to do with the retained earnings? go long the stock market? really? i'm bullish on btc on like a 30 year timeframe so that has to have next to no bearing on the 1-2 year timeframe for handling retained earnings right now. give up the 8% or w/e the market's doing under QE or hold it all in cash because "it can't go on like this forever!11!"
xanthyos: i prefer the william shatner cover
xanthyos: to common people
mircea_popescu: just buy stuff.
mircea_popescu: you're not making enough to actually have the problem of not being able to buy stuff.
mircea_popescu: buy an apartment in every city you ever heard of and rent it out. worst comes to worst you have where to live. stuff like that.
ben_vulpes: can't quite swing apartments this year.
ben_vulpes: as i said this afternoon "too much money to put to use in our own business, not enough to get into any others".
mircea_popescu: so stock up on stuff then. look at your grocery list, see everything on there you actually like and keeps well, buy a year's supply
mircea_popescu: or w/e you figure you'll be there for.
mircea_popescu: the 8% is illusory. having the stuff on hand for when the price hikes is not.
mircea_popescu: as a general principle : the only use of money in an inflationary spiral is to buy stuff.
ben_vulpes: monitors and desks are certainly on the list.
mircea_popescu: the more tangible the better. tuna is stuff. stocks... hardly.
mircea_popescu: nah, not monitors. tech items make poor stuff.
undata: stockpile booze
undata: that's always valuable in a depression

mircea_popescu: anecdotally, i totally raped the power company in romania. one year they were desperate for cash, so you could make a deal where you prepaid consumption at fixed rate. so i did, i prepaid for like a year.

ben_vulpes: we are planning to buy the year's rent in a lump sum

mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes i pay quarterly anyway, but as long as its set in the contract whatr diff does it make ?
mircea_popescu: unlkess you get a discount i guess.
ben_vulpes: it's a more expensive space, but nobody's teeth will be chattering in the new space.
ben_vulpes: book it as an expense in 2014 for taxes.

ben_vulpes: also reincorporating as an s-corp in 2015 for ibid
