mircea_popescu: the reason for this is that so many titles start with The in english that it debalanced the sorting tree (implemented in nature as shelves)
mircea_popescu: ~ in this context is an interesting thing : a postprocessor directive meaning "take the string before the first comma and put it in here to reconstruct the correct title of this item". so that "Fanny Fucksticks, The Enchanted Travels Of ~" becomes "The Enchanted Travels Of Fanny Fucksticks".

mircea_popescu: that you're trying to sell webspace on a below-shared server level and by the kilobyte like some sort of idiot. either get into the business by running an actual isp or else let people do the thing sanely on their own.
ben_vulpes: well then what precisely were you proposing?
mircea_popescu: because why the fuck, 10 bucks a month is too much for these people to get a fucking blog up ?
ben_vulpes: so riddle me this: why the everloving fuck *should* i make any tool usable for anyone outside of my wot?
ben_vulpes: if so i would like an introduction to this registrar, they sound like good people to know
mircea_popescu: i propose to not manage dns at all, and not have dns, either.
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu proposes to manage dns without authentication? is this like the mythical bezzlebroker who only communicates in gpggrams with $maxint clients?
mircea_popescu: which is specifically what i said above : there will exist EXACTLY ONE place i authenticate at ; the name for that place is "my blog"
mircea_popescu: i don't think i want an authenticated dpaste, myself.
mircea_popescu: the correct solution also seems to have emerged, how's any of this my fault.
mircea_popescu: anyway, back to the dpaste : im not abstaining from helping or anything of the sort. there's been an idea, it's been trashing around in the b-a uterus trying to come to conception. it doesn't seem that it actually works tho, seems more like an irrealisable chimera of disparate, irreconcilable parts.
ben_vulpes: aight but before we go haring off completely is there an argument to be made in favor of wotmembers signing authentication tokens over decrypting authentication tokens?
mircea_popescu: it's almost as if argentina made these.

ben_vulpes: "i don't solve problems, i just make them"
mircea_popescu: there's little technological solutions to psychological problems.
mircea_popescu: but in fairness, this is just another facet of the monolithic usg-slavery-thoughtpattern. living in the states is good enoughy for me ; i don't really need a blog and it's not THE central, defining thing of my current existence ; on it goes.
ben_vulpes: i'm not saying that they won't, i'm say that nobody appears to actually be doing so.
ben_vulpes: people aren't getting blogs and using them.
mircea_popescu: how is this related to the above ?
mircea_popescu: the idea was, get a blog, use that.
ben_vulpes: and miscellaneous other pasteshites who shit crlfs and waste precious trb time
ben_vulpes: people are still using motherfucking dpaste!
ben_vulpes: alternatively, rotate the pubkey every day, encrypting to l2 and hosting myself.
mircea_popescu: how about this : only accept gpg-encrypted communications, and only distribute the pubkey to people you like.
punkman: ben_vulpes: perhaps issue something like "api key" to users, have a shell script to pipe things to, that sends authenticated paste request
ben_vulpes: because i have no interest in building things for the mob.
ben_vulpes: punkman, mircea_popescu, asciilifeform: destestable though they may be for injecting state into the stateless protocol, would a single "signin" page with an assbot-style decryption of OTP that results in a session key authenticating the user to the perlwad be an improvement, and are there better solutions i'm not considering? anonymous drive-by pasting is not a better solution imho.
