verisimilitude: I finished that paper, but will need to read several others to understand it better.

asciilifeform: meanwhile in nsa bureaucracy lulz : internal training film apparently leaked, to 0 fanfare, in 2013. (warning: viewer likely to fall asleep. tldr: they in fact like to generate all keys -- even for field equip. -- in washington. and distribute via some kinda proprietary 3-headed variant of diffie-hellman.)
dpb: asciilifeform, http://paste.deedbot.org/?id=eUuh
asciilifeform: dpb: i'ma make a torrent for you later today
asciilifeform: will seed it and encourage other folx (incl. dpb) to do so -- i suspect that plenty of folx in the future might want a trb chain snapshot.
shinohai: asciilifeform: was actually gonna ask you abt this myself, will gladly seed a torrent of trb snapshot.
asciilifeform: a++
asciilifeform: dpb, shinohai, et al : http://dulap.xyz/pub/trbdb.torrent and lemme know whether worx. plox to seed.
asciilifeform: sha512:3d695e9237e38fef68994f42ffdc2a9362931af0ce09705ab227ee29d1685e4c3ca9d6a49965af966c01cb5a4380e8498a00738f8a671e51554f0a634dde5899 trbdb.tar.gz
asciilifeform: no warranty etc.
asciilifeform: i'm seeding from 2 boxen atm. but the moar, the merrier.
shinohai_: tyvm asciilifeform
shinohai_: errr .... I'm getting a "Forbidden" error
trinque: yeah same, perms error
trinque: I will also seed
asciilifeform: !q uptime
snsabot: asciilifeform: time since my last reconnect : 0d 0h 0m
asciilifeform: aaan we're back. loox like 2nd time since 1st prototype that bot wedged in socket limbo.
asciilifeform: shinohai: torrent worx? cuz i aint seeing any leechers on either seed box
shinohai: asciilifeform: I'm currently logging into remote server to test. Iffn' you torrent *anything* here comcast will cut off yer pipe.
asciilifeform: lolk
shinohai: Fucking hate comcast.
asciilifeform: never prev. heard of such a rubbish isp ( at one time when used comcast, was running warez server 24/7/365 lol )
shinohai: It's a recent thing - I torrented an .iso of Gentoo from somewhere, pipe suddenly quit. When I called support, there was notice on my account to disconnect due to "possible piracy".
asciilifeform: lol!!
shinohai: If you nmap localnet, they do indeed have a torrent tracker on router.
asciilifeform considered for many yrs 'make trb db torrent' but hesitated because showcases how sad trb sync still is..
shinohai: ">file_list: Failed to prepare file '/trbdb.tar.gz': File exceedes the configured max file size." lol
asciilifeform: not to mention is a pretty rubbish way of distributing blox
asciilifeform: lolwat?
asciilifeform: this is on what?
shinohai: using rtorrent. Evidently they have some trannyism limiting max file size.
asciilifeform: shinohai: payload is a ~300G tar.gz.
asciilifeform will bbl.
