BingoBoingo wonders how mircea_popescu's local puta con leche is
mircea_popescu: you mean puta lechera ?
BingoBoingo: Nah, I mean with milk
mircea_popescu: yes but with milk as in her own or not
mircea_popescu: lechera here doesn't mean anything like lecherous. vaca lechera = cow which you can milk.
BingoBoingo: Well that's too be determined by the response for the request
BingoBoingo: Does the leche arrive in the puta, in a pitcher, in cow on leash?
mircea_popescu: !!up giucciardini
deedbot: giucciardini voiced for 30 minutes.
mircea_popescu: why are they so broken anyway.
BingoBoingo: No idea.
mircea_popescu: it's like "omyGOD, the adults might have noticed me!!! QUICK PANIC PUSH THE ANY BUTTON11eleven"
BingoBoingo: So today's lul is "special counsel" of many leaks Mueller is once again broadening the scope of investigation to find more leaks
BingoBoingo: to leak
mircea_popescu: even the leaks leak on this great sheep of state.
mircea_popescu: maybe we should sell a bitcent, present the us congress with a two ton truck full of leeks.
mircea_popescu: "in loving consideration of your continued leadersheep, dumbasses."
BingoBoingo: Truck driver would likely be arrested. Onion futures are mega-crime in USia
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo hire one of those new googlebots.
BingoBoingo: But that'll spoil some raytheon contract when it makes it past their drone detectors
mircea_popescu: elementarily can't have drone detectors in us congress
mircea_popescu: how'd the representatives get in ?
BingoBoingo: That's the one secret raytheon contractors don't want you to know!

mircea_popescu: when did you get out ?
Framedragger: still in the cryptobannedmmkay.uk island :) off around ~5-7 july, travel for a bit (but not much), just finished handover at $ukjob, quite happy
Framedragger: brexit negotiations about to start, such timing huehue
Framedragger: will be relatively (entomologically?) interesting to watch from some distance away (i mean, europe is all the very same swamp, sure...)
mircea_popescu: depends, hungary's not so terribru.
mircea_popescu: except for the terrible food, horrible language etc. but primo whores.
mod6: i'll have to check it out
Framedragger: i can believe re. whores! visited briefly. weird language, one of its kind in that branch or something like that, right?
Framedragger: (also iirc .hu gobmint wanted to shut down CEU (this uni in budapest) because it had some unhappy words to say about gobmint or somesuch, but then again maybe CEU is ~liberalshit anyway, so fair)
mircea_popescu: with finish
mircea_popescu: i'd shut down ceu too.
mircea_popescu: anywya, yes, they went rhodesia a decade-ish ago
Framedragger: asciilifeform: unless #3 you meant ssh key to rfc4880 pgp converter (http://siphnos.mkj.lt/datadrop/crap-from-scans-to-be-sorted/ssh-to-pgp.py), but again, prolly not. don't remember seeing any phuctor innards tbh (except for fingerprint algo), but could just be me
diana_coman: Framedragger, where are you moving to?
Framedragger: .lt for the summer at least. no master plan, and right now don't feel like having one (first time i feel like that in life)
Framedragger haz some meatwot and friends in berlin (will pay a visit in july), considering that, too, but not in a hurry

trinque: after 5th cough pls to get the fuck out.
trinque: and asciilifeform is right, whole foods appears to have an army of subsidiaries, so the profit number on the mothership is a useless fiction.
asciilifeform: trinque: 'pantsuit corps' like to funnel whatever profit there is into compensations for bluebloods, rather than dividends, also

phf: asciilifeform: perhaps this http://www.ubuntu.life ?
asciilifeform: phf: yes!
phf: but re wf, fwiw it's the least expensive of the pantsuit stores. there are much worse examples from both price and "ubuntu foundation" perspective. for example i have Mom's and Yes organic both within walking distance. i used to live next to dawson's in rockville. all of them are more wf than wf.
asciilifeform: lol i have these here also
asciilifeform: wf beats the living shit out of'em
asciilifeform: on signal/noise etc
trinque: texas has "central market", better selection than wf
asciilifeform: wf is very much 'the lolmart of' 'highend food' in usa
phf: s/n maybe. but if you're trying to buy "raw ingredients", like meat cuts, vegetables, bulk dry goods, wf is the cheapest option. can do safeway for some items, but there's a noticeable drop in quality

phf: you've lived in u.s. too long when you think "oh, hmm, that's not that bad actually!"
mircea_popescu: this "poor idiots make standards -- doesn't matter what lords thnk" nonsense is it's very own kind of poetteringization.
mircea_popescu: windows WILL NEVER BE a standardf.
mircea_popescu: BECAUSE i do not use it.
mircea_popescu: the ONLY WAY anything can matter is if ~I~ use it.

phf: some people when they come back to old homestead take certain perverse pleasure in learning that joe now sucks cock for meth, while molly is married with three kids to a cop that beats her. not i, i'm sad to see my childhood friends debase themselves so
sina: I got nothing against Wayland.
mircea_popescu: it's called mp-wp
sina: at least Wayland apps can't keylog other Wayland apps like X can
mircea_popescu: sina if you made them, at least.
mircea_popescu: koch's styill can, i'm, sure.
sina: I'm not saying it's the best thing ever, but X needs to die, and only a few people are doing the work to kill it
asciilifeform: how about the folx trying to make it die, die instead.
asciilifeform: preferably very painfully.
phf: sina: did you read that on reddit?
mircea_popescu: well, let's instead examine priors. sina and why must it die ?
sina: phf: read what?
sina: mircea_popescu: my main gripe is that X apps aren't isolated from each other, so they can tamper easily. I don't really like it that a vulnerability in, e.g. xeyes, can read firefox memory, or whatever.
mircea_popescu: no apps on any x86 machine are isolated from each other.
sina: so that makes it OK for a given X app to be able to log keys from another X app?
mircea_popescu: ie, you are reacting to the empty tank light coming on by trying to buy a car without one
mircea_popescu: no, it does not make it ok. it also does not make it ok for some snake oil salesman to sell his "better" shitpie.
mircea_popescu: the republic is well weary of such charlatans, chiefly because their ~only offering encountered experimentally sooner or later boils down to "vote hillary"
sina: the republic is, as you like to say, a sovereign entity, can do whatever it likes, including ignoring the existence of software produced by people it deems as charlatans
mircea_popescu: this is so.
mircea_popescu: or for that matter, it can not ignore it, and exploit the holes for great ethlulz.
mircea_popescu: or it can laugh ass off at them and publicly humiliater
mircea_popescu: or it can send assassins to peel the skin off their children in the night while they watch in horror.
mircea_popescu: and so following. what of it ?

phf: sina: could you explain the difference between how keylogger issue manifests in x11 vs. how wayland prevents it, with some technical details?
mircea_popescu: phf i doubt he's anything more than simply pissed at the rather famous x thing.
mircea_popescu: it's one of those outrageous items.
phf: that much is obvious from what he said so far, but i thought maybe he'll choose to think about it a little bit
mircea_popescu: in time!
phf simmers down
mircea_popescu: phf is wise beyond his years.
asciilifeform: 'Windows is the only one mainstream OS I'm aware of, that actually attempts to implement some form of GUI-level isolation, starting from Windows Vista. See e.g. this ancient article I wrote in the days when I used Vista at my primary laptop.'
asciilifeform falls down.
mircea_popescu: windows vista is so aptly named, like one of those florida retirement things. "rancho linda vista" etc
asciilifeform: ^ for n00bz -- this is verbatim Official usg doctrine -- i.e. the ostensible reason why winblowz is mandatory at nsa etc
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform maybe not at nsa, but eg at puerto rico / united ass-fucked emirates, etc.
sina: did you rush to paste that before continue reading? she's aware of the limitations and nobody says "use windows"
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: mandatory at nsa
sina: I'm not even a fan of Joanna or Qubes OS Xen junk
asciilifeform: sina: i read it back when.
sina: I just pointing out the issue illustrated there
phf: sina: yes, but do you understand the ~technical details~
sina: X apps receive *all* keyboard input
sina: Wayland apps don't
sina: yay
mircea_popescu: sometimes i suspect asciilifeform has octopus helmet but with eyes, reads like that.
asciilifeform: sina: ever meet a fella who bought reinforced iron door to put in a drywall flat , with ground floor windows ?
phf: sina: that's an extreme oversimplification that is also not true
sina: phf: it's not true that X apps receive all kb input?
phf: no
mircea_popescu: sina trivially verified, open two gui editors, type in one , check the other.
phf: see architecturally wayland and x11 couldn't be more different. x11 supports a special network protocol that lets clients from different sources connect to the same instance of x. for example you can have a client from a different user on the same machine or a client from a network source (like over ssh)
phf: x11 allows you to attach your own windows to a window hierarchy, that starts with root window
phf: on any of those windows you can put masks for what kind of events you want to receive
phf: root, being a special window receives all the events (that's very handwavy but closer to truth)
phf: those events then propagate down the window hierarchy
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> mircea_popescu: mandatory at nsa << Per "Reality Winner Mc Moon Unit"'s orders
sina: fair, let me rephrase and you tell me if still not true: x apps have access to receive all keyboard input
phf: an application can choose to register events on root window and thus receive all the keyboarding events that come in (or mouse events)
sina: to me, the distinction between "X apps receive all keyboard input" and "X apps have access to receive all keyboard input" is negligible
phf: sina: can you wait till i finish my explanation
sina: sorry
sina: continue
phf: in addition there's a RECORD extension that allows any application to register for all keyboard events irrespective of their destination
phf: that one is used for things like screen recording, and is optional. it doesn't otherwise respect the hierarchy
sina: I have no beef with that extension
phf: a security minded application can do what's known as a server grab, which isolates a chosen window and makes it a new root as far as events are concerned
phf: so now it doesn't matter who's registered for what, the only windows that will be receiving events are those in the server grab hierarchy, i.e. your chosen window and its children
phf: (there's a handful of other extensions that might potentially be used to subvert that mechanism, but likewise they are not mandatory and can be disabled like XTEST)
phf: if you simply load an x app, attach it to root, and start grabbing all the events then you can come to same conclusion as any random chick with a blog "omg all teh events"
phf: but if you were to actually repeat that same exercise when gnupg pinentry is asking you for password you'll see that it doesn't work
phf: it still works though when xterm is asking you for password because xterm doesn't know it's a password entry, and doesn't do a grab
mircea_popescu: the cogent objection to x is that "design irrespective, something this fucking long can never be good." the redditard objection to x is "omaygerd, black chix code!"
phf: never the less ~xterm~ specifically supports server grab for people who know what they are doing (i.e. not the lunix on desktop crowd)
sina: phf: ok that is pretty interesting and I didn't know
phf: but anyway, all of this is at all relevant why? because of the first things i said, i.e. x11 lets clients ~from network~ or ~from other users~ to connect to your session
phf: those clients are isolated, in one case by machine, in the other case by unix isolation, and can't do the obvious thing, that is read the memory of your password requesting process directly
phf: so you could, theoretically connect to a compromised ssh box, with your x11 tunneling enabled, and get a silent agent snooping your keyboard
phf: and this is where we come to wayland
phf: wayland "mitigates" keylogger issue by not fucking letting you start apps either as a remote user or ~even as a different user on same machine~
phf: so any wayland app that has access to your wayland session by the obvious implications can do the obvious thing: gpg encrypt all your files, steal all your passwords, and send compromising emails to all your friends, because as should be obvious that app has access to everything else you have access too oh my fucking god the level of retardation i can't even.
mircea_popescu: phf's capacity to scale an explanation is well impressive.
sina: sure, as can any application in the dac model
sina: if you trust the software you can mitigate with whatever sandbox and if you don't then you need hw compartments, different issue
sina: phf: finished? the discussion about server grab is appreciated. links to docs or examples appreciated also
