puman: "The FBI said in its request for a warrant Monday that its investigators had in their possession the private key for that address."
mats: whaack: dunno what to tell you, see a md
mats: maybe youre a candidate for surgery, or your condition isnt sufficiently advanced and can be treated
gregorynyssa: tomorrow is 100th anniversary of founding of Chinese Communist Party.
mats: for me, keyboard time is strictly rationed like a mana bar because the symptoms progressively ramp up, 1-2 being numbness or tingling, 3-4 aching and dull pain, 5-9 sharper pain, needle like electric sensation, grasping becomes difficult, the claw, some loss of sensation or sensitivity in the tips
mats: going from 1-5 can take as little as twenty mins of typing, 6-8 inside an hour, and the soonest i could reasonably expect symptoms to abate from that level back to 1-2 after giving up the kb might take as long as six weeks
mats: medical science seems to be far behind on the inner workings of pain, and not really making noticeable progress...
mats: 6-9*
shinohai: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/asciilifeform/2021-06-30#1041764 <<< Also rich: "FBI officials say the techniques they used to recover some of Colonial’s funds can be used in future cases"

puman: I am looking to collect some One Time Pad-related literature, and was looking at random papers from Google. Half an hour later, all I had was variations of this: "In this study we show how a moderate amount of random key stream can be used to generate a lifetime supply of keys for one-time pads."
asciilifeform: puman: asciilifeform wrote quite a bit on the subj.
snsabot: (trilema) 2017-10-03 asciilifeform: ( i.e. can you make a matched pair of otp such that 1) output is cryptoentropic 2) can only leave the device at particular baud rate , no matter what is done to it ? )
snsabot: (trilema) 2017-11-22 asciilifeform: ( and , jaw-droppingly, just about every book 'on crypto' omits the otp proof. that very same, that constitutes the alpha and the omega of what's actually proven in the subject at all )
snsabot: (trilema) 2018-04-12 asciilifeform: right now 2 types of cipher are known -- otp, and errythingelse. only re otp is there a mathematical statement of any substance ( i.e. it is degenerate case, leaks 0 bits )
snsabot: (trilema) 2018-10-23 asciilifeform: Mocky: it's an old idea of asciilifeform's -- otptron gets 2 sd slots. fill switch triggers fill-up of both with identical otp. then you fly to bananistan with ~one~ and trade with the other fella for his. then you both have identical xor of pad-a and pad-b, in the respective slots.
snsabot: (trilema) 2016-06-10 asciilifeform: essentially the Big Dirty Secret re crypto is that NO ONE HAS YET proven that non-otp cryptography ~actually exists~
asciilifeform: puman: the thing is, otp ~per se~ is as simple as a shovel, once you understand why the pad gotta be same length as the payload and never reused. 100% of the traditional difficulty is the rng.
asciilifeform: ( wrote more than anyone could ever want..)
snsabot: (trilema) 2016-02-02 asciilifeform: actually for many years i have thought about the ideal electric otp.
snsabot: (trilema) 2016-02-06 asciilifeform: (the otp proof is kindergarten-level - the ciphertext tells you nothing at all - as in 0 bits - about the key or the plaintext)
snsabot: (trilema) 2016-02-06 asciilifeform: (the otp proof is kindergarten-level - the ciphertext tells you nothing at all - as in 0 bits - about the key or the plaintext)
snsabot: (trilema) 2015-08-21 asciilifeform: otp has precisely three weaknesses even in principle: generation of key (solved by civilized rng); reuse of key (solved by erasing each bit immediately after it is used in a xor); capture of key by enemy (in common with any other cipher! and solved with grenade pin)
asciilifeform: grr botched the link. but nm.
asciilifeform: puman: towards the end of the #t age, asciilifeform even devised rng which could, unlike FG, reliably fill a coupla GB pad in coupla min.
asciilifeform: now, this is a 'sword in the stone'.
snsabot: Logged on 2021-06-30 02:41:50 puman: "The FBI said in its request for a warrant Monday that its investigators had in their possession the private key for that address."
puman: after this, FBI also made statement "if you've been ransom'd, please contact us, we might have key"
shinohai: Sorry but above was case of "we stole our own privkey, and can produce repeatable results because of course we can!"
shinohai: puman: lmao
asciilifeform: shinohai: i did not read the crapola -- was this 1 of those idiocies where shitware author deterministically generated the privs?
puman: I've explained this to a few people, always amusing results
snsabot: (trilema) 2018-04-12 asciilifeform: right now 2 types of cipher are known -- otp, and errythingelse. only re otp is there a mathematical statement of any substance ( i.e. it is degenerate case, leaks 0 bits )
asciilifeform: puman: do you recall the infamous thread where mp offered to break otp?
asciilifeform: (a properly-executed otp)
shinohai: asciilifeform: I believe this to be nothing more than Feebs "hacking themselves" and saving day in order to say "Bitcoin used for ransomware, oh noes ban it!"
asciilifeform: shinohai: a, dpr-style
puman: asciilifeform:  infamous thread where mp offered to break otp? < got a link? I think I was there
snsabot: (trilema) 2016-02-06 mircea_popescu: long, deeply biased plaintexts are dangerous for otp.
asciilifeform still regrets not having pressed him to take the bet, in this lulzepisode.
snsabot: (trilema) 2016-02-06 asciilifeform: what did mircea_popescu ~think~ would happen here.
shinohai: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2016-02-06#1398541 <<< from financial point of view asciilifeform .... well.
snsabot: (trilema) 2016-02-06 asciilifeform: still wanna play ? mircea_popescu can put the 10 in snsa piggy, if he wishes. or we can let the matter rest.
asciilifeform: shinohai: laff if you like, i considered, then, him as a friend. and it aint the kind of thing i do to a friend.
asciilifeform: meanwhile, in spamola : i'ma have to patch the logger to not sit down in the dead chans while still displaying'em in www end. (previously did not need to do with, the dead people helpfully banned the bot)
snsabot: (ossasepia) 2021-06-30 Flaveu: hi
asciilifeform: *do this
shinohai: asciilifeform: sure, I learned same lesson here.
snsabot: (trilema) 2016-09-01 shinohai: mircea_popescu: I will always accept payment in s.mg shares in lieu of picks
asciilifeform: shinohai: which lesson?
shinohai: The lesson that at time seemed like a good idea to trust the guy and his enterprise, but this was misplaced.
shinohai even played Eulora and had every reason to want it to succeed.
asciilifeform avoided losing any serious dough to mp, though largely by not having any
shinohai: topkek
shinohai: and lol there is still #o chan active?
asciilifeform: shinohai: it was locked trilema-style, but opened up from the fleanode wanks
snsabot: Logged on 2021-06-28 17:04:07 asciilifeform: in misc lulz: turns out that one casualty of the fleanodocalypse was the lock on #trilema. (not that, imho, there's anything left to be said there. unless someone wants to post a tombstone.)
thimbronion: I actually paid some small amount of btc to read trilema. Fortunately got all my funds out of mpex before it exit scammed, made profit even.
asciilifeform: now spam collector.
asciilifeform: shinohai: chrematism is a disease which only afflicts folx who have what to gamble away.
snsabot: Logged on 2020-06-08 11:15:57 asciilifeform: jurov: asciilifeform's pov on this differed from mp's. the latter, as i understand, defined only 'socialist' debasement of currency (and, eventually, the entire post-feudal spectrum of politics) as 'root evil'. but exempted chrematists. asciilifeform does not exempt chrematists.
snsabot: Logged on 2020-12-20 21:01:58 asciilifeform: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/asciilifeform/2020-12-19#1027090 << much simpler recipe (and does not reduce to 'do nothing') to avoid losing money to e.g. scamcoins: don't be a chrematist. and avoid'em.
asciilifeform: thimbronion: so long as the winning doesn't embolden you to play another pyramidism -- then a++, 'quit while ahead'
thimbronion: asciilifeform: I can't possibly imagine what pyramidism would turn out better than btc, so no temptations there.
asciilifeform: thimbronion: somehow ~all the early btc folx lost it ~all in pyramids. i have nfi, but apparently irresistible to 'gambling type'
asciilifeform: (obv. more appealing than btc per se, were pyramids ~built from~ btc, and so on)
thimbronion: asciilifeform: yes nearly universal in my personal experience.
thimbronion: although none of my friends were members of a cult like me.
shinohai: Can't be too sore about everything, I mean got 2 fine girls out of the tits deal.

billymg: asciilifeform: ty, if you find anything that causes you to barf let me know and i'll update
asciilifeform: billymg: iirc mostly cosmetic, neh
billymg: asciilifeform: yes, fully. the theme thing, chan list refactor, log root knob added to the config, and some readme cleanup. there shouldn't be anything offensive in there
billymg: or anything controversial even
asciilifeform: billymg: remind me, is the orig. white theme in yours ?
billymg: yes, and is the default config out of the box when pressed
asciilifeform: a++. prolly usable ~as-is
thestringpuller: mats: at least you haven't gotten hooked on opiates like most americans who suffer from chronic pain via doctors over prescribing them
thestringpuller thinks about Bugpowder and his gambling addiction

thestringpuller: asciilifeform: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/asciilifeform/2021-06-30#1041782 << so you're telling me I could rig my fuckgoats to a self made OTP device and it's likely more secure than say Yubikey? (granted I'm not well read on this subject, but still have sealed FG and want to learn)
dulapbot: Logged on 2021-06-30 10:08:38 asciilifeform: puman: the thing is, otp ~per se~ is as simple as a shovel, once you understand why the pad gotta be same length as the payload and never reused. 100% of the traditional difficulty is the rng.
asciilifeform: thestringpuller: we're discussing the more traditional meaning of otp.
asciilifeform: thestringpuller: the various keychains which sold as 'otp' don't have much to do with the subject, they are sold as 'one time password' device, but pw is actually generated from a ~prng~ inside, which is seeded with same seed as on server end, and synchronized (typically w/ clock)
asciilifeform: thestringpuller: i rec to read about otp (aka vernam) 'pad' , it is not difficult to understand.
thestringpuller: asciilifeform: i've learned more from you than I ever did in undergrad, but that likely doesn't surprise you.
asciilifeform: why ty thestringpuller .
billymg: signpost: how did you make the network graphs on wot.deedbot.org? it looks a lot like output from d3.js
billymg: i'm also looking at https://plotly.com/python/ as a potential library for rendering charts/graphs on the crawler www, in case anyone has experience with either, or has other recommendations
asciilifeform: billymg: apropos, found a vaguely interesting heathen crawler (not, however, tried)
billymg: asciilifeform: thanks, i'll look at that too and see if there's anything useful to extract
shinohai: neato asciilifeform ....
asciilifeform: billymg: possibly the graphics piece
thestringpuller: wonder if Bugpowder going to drop the MPEx exploit
billymg: asciilifeform: ah, the map? that is a cool feature, he also appears to be using the main 3rd party API provider for this service
asciilifeform: thestringpuller: approx as interesting, imho, today, as a mtgox exploit
asciilifeform: thestringpuller: exit scammed >1y ago -- or didja sleep through that?
billymg: for doing the IP lookup at least, and then his scripts spit out JSON that apparently 'OpenStreetMap' can load in to draw points on one of their maps
asciilifeform: ah, external crapola? lame
billymg: asciilifeform: yeah, i haven't looked too hard yet but all the "geolookup" libraries seem to depend on one of the few large API providers, e.g. https://apilayer.com/
billymg: so you request an API key from them, probably start paying once you hit a certain threshold, etc.
thestringpuller: asciilifeform: i'm fond of exploring tombs, but perhaps my personal obsession with the past
thestringpuller: but you are right "always forward" and all that jazz.
asciilifeform: thestringpuller: not the issue; simply, afaik there aint any longer an mpex to 'explore' or otherwise
thestringpuller: asciilifeform: are you not a fan of ruins and fossils? i suppose i'd assume you aren't one for archaeology
asciilifeform: motherfucker
asciilifeform: what part of 'there AINT a fossil there to explore' is unclear??
asciilifeform: king tut's tomb still exists.
asciilifeform: mpex, afaik -- not
asciilifeform: went to /dev/null.
asciilifeform: how do you propose to 'explore' thin air ?
thestringpuller: aha. did not click - difference between thing sucked into black hole vs king tuts tomb
shinohai: webfront still standing http://mpex.biz/
thestringpuller: makes me wonder whether mpex really existed to begin with or just hamsters scribbling GPG scripts over http
shinohai: s/hamsters/slavegirl/
asciilifeform: thestringpuller: (at least at the time of asciilifeform's demo review) at least the balance query thing was a realtime proggy
asciilifeform: one could also lodge puts/asks etc. and they happened next day when hamsters.
asciilifeform: other folx, who actually subscribed, wrote at length re subj.
thestringpuller: "And they are a worthy goal, because the world has a way of turning honest men into, well, other kinds."
asciilifeform: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/asciilifeform/2021-06-30#1041884 << if you think anybody's getting coin outta that crater, i've a bridge to sell you..

dulapbot: Logged on 2020-05-13 13:06:15 asciilifeform: and imho, the folx who paid, got what they were paying for : 1000km of blog about 'majesty', 10GB of photos of naked chix eating caviar, etc. ( if they thought they were paying for 'like nasdaq but w/out confiscations', they were morons, it's a perpetuum mobile and there aint no such thing )
verisimilitude: Mine issue connecting had been omitting the password, whaack.
dulapbot: Logged on 2021-06-30 13:58:19 billymg: signpost: how did you make the network graphs on wot.deedbot.org? it looks a lot like output from d3.js
asciilifeform: wb signpost . asciilifeform had a minor thought, 'ddos-proof udp can be baked with btc-like bruteforce 'must have n zeros in hash' nonce' even w/out actual crypto
asciilifeform: (with 'difficulty' varying based on machine load, say)
asciilifeform: naturally you still gotta prevent replays.
asciilifeform likes the idea of a lock mechanism which does not necessarily prevent receipt of messages from strangers, but instead comes with a knob to make it as cheap or expensive as operator wants
asciilifeform: (if anyone recalls -- a similar scheme, 'hashcash', was the original 'pow' proposal, and orig. intended in fact for antispam)
verisimilitude: Yes, and it never became popular because then corporations can't send spam; we better use reputation instead.
asciilifeform: 'reputation'
asciilifeform: (y'know, the kind where microshit declares self 'reputable', and you say nuffin, cuz you have 'no mouth')
whaack: howdy
whaack: indeed, i struggled to join dulap because i forgot to supply the password /derp
whaack: the log lines i searched for didn't make it clear there was a pw required
signpost will bbl to properly discuss, but thinks asciilifeform is on the right track re: DDOS resistance
signpost: I've also considered various schemes for an "anti-ddos" token sequence predictable by both ends, but not 3rd party
signpost: hola whaack
verisimilitude: Surely there are better methods than proof of work.
asciilifeform: verisimilitude: ultimately actual authentication, w/rsa, is better, noshit. but not practical for GB/s packet filtration w/out custom ic afaik.
dulapbot: Logged on 2021-05-18 16:15:41 asciilifeform: the main obstacle currently is that non-leaking rsa is slow on pc.
asciilifeform: and pow gives you ability to -- sparingly -- hear from strangers.
asciilifeform: w/out secretaries, 'stable of slavegirls', and other 'i dun need an air conditioner, i have wafters' mpistic devices.
whaack: ignpost: hey there signpost/trinque
verisimilitude: I've also considered a forum with this optional, for spam, but would view it as a last resort.
asciilifeform: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/asciilifeform/2021-06-30#1041916 << my current draft consists of a) for strangers, pow b) for folx who have a shared keystring (not long-term or esp. valuable) S -- simply demonstrate knowledge of S by sending hash(S+message+S), then don't need to pow

verisimilitude: Oh, my thinking was similar, but pseudonymous.
verisimilitude: ``Good IPs get whitelisted.''
asciilifeform: verisimilitude: can't use ip for anything whatsoever in udpism
asciilifeform: because trivially forged origin
verisimilitude: This only matters when under attack.
asciilifeform: for fucks sake
asciilifeform: EVERYTHING IS ALWAYS UNDER ATTACK ffs
verisimilitude: This was for something of my design, anyway.
asciilifeform: 'this lock only matters when there's a thief pulling on it'
asciilifeform: holyfuq what drugs are you on..
asciilifeform baffled.
verisimilitude: I shouldn't have mentioned my tangentially related idea, I see.
asciilifeform: no, mention
asciilifeform: but take 5sec to think, lol, before 'only matters when under attack'
verisimilitude: I like to consider running a forum.

gregorynyssa: the period of affliction, when I had to take frequent rests from typing, was a few months.
gregorynyssa: I also quit using Emacs during that period, but that may or may not be related.
verisimilitude: Well, there's a distinction between meaningless messages that could be trivially discarded and automated spam, for this forum.
verisimilitude: One survival trait is simply, ``Don't attract attention.''.
thestringpuller: "think verisimilitude think"; couldn't resist
whaack: gregorynyssa: do you recall the first moment of pain?
whaack: gregorynyssa: My first episode appeared out of nowhere, or at least i don't remember what triggered it, the second (current) episode happened after a specific action.
gregorynyssa: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/asciilifeform/2021-06-30#1041952 << I have pretty much the same story. the pain appeared out of nowhere. the angle of my wrists as I used the computer affcted the likelihood of the pain occurring.

whaack: gregorynyssa: well i will pray to odin that my ailment magically dissapears forever like yours did
gregorynyssa: and, as `mats` said above, whenever the pain started, it would keep building up, requiring a longer and longer cool-down.
gregorynyssa: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/asciilifeform/2021-06-30#1041955 << I hadn't realized until seeing your story and that of `mats` how lucky I was.
snsabot: Logged on 2021-06-30 18:12:10 whaack: gregorynyssa: well i will pray to odin that my ailment magically dissapears forever like yours did
whaack: my physio said to just 'listen to my body' and not do any weird shit like wearing wrist splints or avoiding typing/activity when i was pain free
whaack: while i am pain free*
whaack: so my day to day is back to normal and i just take longer breaks
whaack: i had a similar injury from surfing, colloquially referred to as surfer's ribs, where there was inflammation of the ribcage cartilage
gregorynyssa: is that caused by the pressure of the body against the surfboard?
whaack: surfing and any activity that involved putting pressure on the left side of my rib cage borought pain that came and went
gregorynyssa: ah, sorry to hear.
whaack: gregorynyssa: yes i think it's repeated trauma against the ribbcage
whaack: anyways i went 2 months of giving up surfing etc. to let the problem heal
whaack: and eventually i went to a doctor who said that it would heal on its own and that as long as i could endure the pain there was no problem with continuing surfing
whaack: so i went back to surfing and endured a lot of pain in order to stay in the water
whaack: and then yup...it just dissapeared forever
verisimilitude: My system has many issues, I know. I have time to mull it over.
whaack: i have another buddy who just started surfing and he has the same rib cage injury
whaack: he went to the doctor and she said "don't do ANYTHING that brings pain. rest full stop."
thestringpuller: i would post origin of meme here, but don't want to anger asciilifeform with spamola
whaack: my conclusion is that nobody knows wtf is going on. and therefore the 'listen to the body' and just try to stay normal is the best approach
gregorynyssa: very much so
whaack: and even if someone does know wtf is going on it's hard for an individual to distinguish who knows what
verisimilitude: It's some Netflix show.
verisimilitude: I don't like the trend; it's not enough to pay to watch something, but make an account first.

gregorynyssa: speaking of which, as a diver, though not surfer, the recent story about the drowning gave me slight chills
thestringpuller: if i could break my addiction to television I would save so much money, but in the grand scheme...
thestringpuller: not nearly as bad as my addiction to comics, effectively have comic library now for 2010 decade

asciilifeform: btw 'Channel #asciilifeform isn't registered.' and 'You must be a channel operator to register the channel' still not fixed.
asciilifeform: i.e. very soon will no longer be habitable.
asciilifeform: i.e. anyone currently here and not on dulapnet, is officially on notice that asciilifeform , snsabot , and watchglass will pack up and move likely the very next time the sewer backs up here.
asciilifeform: (and perhaps prior.)
thimbronion: asciilifeform: udp PoW seems like an interesting project. Lemme know if there's any exploratory stuff I could help with.
shinohai: asciilifeform: still some sort of weirdness where chan has to be *empty* before one can get ops and re-register it.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo gregorynyssa shinohai and possibly others ^
asciilifeform: shinohai: well i can't very well empty it w/out being op, can i
shinohai: lol nope.
shinohai: ANywho, I'm already completely setup on dulapnet so no worries here.
asciilifeform: thimbronion: i expect it's pretty straightforward; only open q is how and when to set the 'difficulty'
asciilifeform: shinohai: a++
asciilifeform: would like to give advanced warning to folx who have not, tho
thimbronion: A project I used in the past called Bitmessage allowed the user to specify difficulty level for any message addressed to himself. No one ever sent me messages so I have no idea how effective that was lol.
shinohai: lol BitMessage py application was the one that exposed users privkeys, no?
thimbronion: shinohai: I believe there was a remote execution vuln. recently.
thimbronion: Unaware of any privkey sharing.
verisimilitude: It's certain that such a field in a UDP packet should be at the beginning of the data, next to the IP addresses, port, and checksum, at the least.
mats: verisimilitude: free. i also accept covers of wonderwall

mats: provide your email addr over pm, you can also encrypt the string to http://wot.deedbot.org/B37F49DC35FD838B1F8783CC59C93F63549036BD.html if you like
asciilifeform: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/asciilifeform/2021-06-30#1042014 << doesn't matter whether beginning or end, you still gotta read whole thing to hash it

mats: feel free to create a burner email btw
verisimilitude: Should I?
verisimilitude: Be there reason not to use one attached to my domain?
verisimilitude: Be there a way to avoid using an email address for this, also?
verisimilitude: It's good taste, asciilifeform.
verisimilitude: Besides that, checking the hash before hashing is just smart.
thestringpuller: mats: there was a time where I had multiple torrent feeds into a large server. server automatically organized media and served to xbmc. was also going to get TV tuner since cable was essentially free so could get live tv as well.
thestringpuller: main problem for me is it's too much work to maintain. the work was mainly to avoid commercial breaks; now I can just pay that pain away. honestly south park was right, a business model where you annoy your customer out of their money works.
mats: i just have a computer wired to the tv lol
mats: hmm, bill cosby released from prison
verisimilitude: I just remembered I loathe making accounts for anything, so I rescind my request, mats.
mats: didnt see your prev questions, no reason unless you have particular privacy interests

vex has been epicly saddened by the news of mp passing
mats: just remembered D.CBSE after re-visiting mpex homepage
vex: forevermore, magestic pelicans on the wing will remind me. hanbot's eulogy is pretty fucking good
mats: another sad who won't get paid out from the scammer
vex: what was CBSE?
mats: coinbase
vex: what was it? i never had an mpex acct
mats: and reminds me, did BB ever return the money taken from mike_c?
mats: not cool, bud.
vex: its a free market pal
mats: he was rewarded for his ingenuity
mats: it would never have occurred to me to appeal to mp's sadism and use that to coerce a massive personal payment
mats: my only regret is not speaking sooner, calling out the ethically malleable individuals in tmsr, like d_c
mats: staying mum when people you know are being robbed, utter shite behavior
vex: didn't you make money on mpex?
mats: notionally, my withdrawal was ignored
mats: jurov was right, and i was blind to what was going on
vex: you're both right, look around at the castle
vex: dont be greedy matty, it's dangerous
