mod6: looks like 180: http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/XMTTz/?raw=true [01:04]
asciilifeform: that diff is useless, the tops ain't aligned [01:06]

mod6: here's a gnu unified diff of the same: http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/JWTFY/?raw=true [01:08]
mod6: anyway, don't worry about it. just nuke the post I made, and I'll dump the unsigned text inthere. [01:08]
mod6: after curl'ing down the page itself, this is what it looks like in HTML: http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/tTbXV/?raw=true [01:15]
mod6: so it's not much of a suprise i guess that a copy of the text, rendered, doesn't work. [01:15]
mod6: maybe if wraped <code></code> tags wouldn't have wrapped up the links and snarffed the \n's. [01:16]
mod6: but i don't know html very well. [01:16]

mircea_popescu: ah but mod6 baby, you can't sign html and expect to verify the text a browser outputs cmon. whole fucking thing is a substitution engine for strings, how's the clearsign gonna be preserved. [04:24]
phf`: for people who are into that kind of shit, Ruckert republished his "Understanding MP3", which is notable for being a literate program write up of an mp3 decoder (plus all the necessary context to understand how it works) https://www.amazon.com/Understanding-MP3-Semantics-Mathematics-Algorithms/dp/1541259335 [07:25]
phf`: was out of print since 2005, and i was trying to find a copy for a while, but ruckert just republished it using amazon's self publishing system. i haven't gotten a copy yet, but i suspect that it might not be a particularly good print, but we'll see [07:27]
phf`: http://trilema.com/forum-logs-for-10-may-2017#2279389 << that is surely one of them sex dolls? [07:28]

shinohai: Nifty phf, I kinda want a copy myself now. [07:37]
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> ah but mod6 baby, you can't sign html and expect to verify the text a browser outputs cmon. << :] i didn't sign html. [08:51]
mod6: <+mod6> This is the actual pgp clearsigned data: http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/9AAL7/?raw=true << this is what gets pasted into the comments section. 7bit ascii. [08:51]
mod6: either loper, or browser is magling the text. [08:52]
mod6: feels like the same thing that we went through with the pastebin stuff once upon a time. [08:52]
mod6: shinohai: you around? got time to do me a favor? [09:12]
mod6: <+mod6> <+mod6> This is the actual pgp clearsigned data: http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/9AAL7/?raw=true << this is what gets pasted into the comments section. 7bit ascii. << go to this link, copy the text, save locally, or however you want to do it, and see if it verifies. [09:13]
shinohai: Morning mod6, be glad to help if possible. o7 [09:13]
mod6: <+asciilifeform> http://www.loper-os.org/?p=1545&cpage=1#comment-18076 << << then go here, all PGP text and see if it verifies for ya. [09:14]
mod6: *copy all PGP text [09:14]
mod6: shinohai: thanks. [09:14]
mod6: :] very much appreciated [09:16]
shinohai: mod6: The paste verifies fine, the loperos one gives me: gpg: can't hash datafile: file open error [09:16]
mod6: do you have all of the stuff between the '-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----' and '-----END PGP SIGNATURE-----', including those lines? [09:17]
shinohai: Ah my bad now I got: [09:17]
shinohai: BAD Sognature [09:18]
shinohai: *signature [09:18]
mod6: yah, same as both alf and I too. [09:18]
mod6: thanks for checking. [09:18]
shinohai: No problem, appears alf's blogotron is mangling it. [09:18]
mod6: ill leave off with this, here is the un-buffer-copied, original before pasting into ben's wotpaste and loper [09:21]
mod6: http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/WDSkv/?raw=true [09:21]
mod6: my belief is that loper is discarding one of '0a's in that line 0000180 or whatever from lastnight [09:22]
asciilifeform: mod6: it gotta be in the display end. when i paste from the 'edit comment' box, it verifies [09:24]
phf`: welcome back to another round of "we trying to put TEXT into a TEXTBOX" with your host phf [10:31]
mod6: thanks asciilifeform for taking down the comment. [10:31]
mod6: if i did something wrong here, i don't know, to this very minute what it is. [10:32]
mod6: or why it works on ben_vulpes ' wotpaste and not elsewhere. [10:32]
mod6: ben_vulpes: do you care to remind the readers of the adventure you had to take to handle this with your wotpaste tool? [10:32]
mod6: I remember these to be exceptionally painful. [10:33]
mod6: I think independant replication is in order myself i.e. someone create a clearsigned message with multiple line feeds in there (\n), and see if the result is the same. [10:35]
phf`: i'm pretty sure wp arbitrarily mungles posts/comments on render. that's why mircea_popescu's wp version has a special hack that wraps gpg data in a pre and ensures that wp doesn't touch it in any way [10:36]
phf`: otherwise a POST from a curl/programmatically is the safest way to upload. that's what browsers also supposed to do, but some of them will corrupt your CR/CRLF/LF combinations, which is not anything that you can defend from on the server side [10:39]
asciilifeform: clearsigning suxxx [10:39]
phf`: wp on top of that runs comments through a renderer, that adds paragraph breaks and smileys and such [10:40]
mircea_popescu: aha, phf` has it [11:33]
mircea_popescu: phf` why do you think sex doll ? common female also can get clit shield / urethra buzzer installed. [11:37]
mircea_popescu: mod6 ah sorry, i misunderstood http://btcbase.org/log/2017-05-10#1653972 [11:39]

mircea_popescu: in case not found yet : "mod6.sig\n\n\nT" vs ".mod6.sig</a>\n\nT" [11:41]
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-05-10#1654007 << this only means it saved it correctly in the db. wp does another filtering pass when displaying, which does munge. [11:43]

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu, ben_vulpes , et al : got a snippet for this wp fix ? [11:49]
asciilifeform: or does it require mircea_popescu's wptron wholesale. [11:49]
mircea_popescu: should be in wp-comments.php or w/e it's called i think. that'd be the displayer of comments section. [11:50]
* asciilifeform looks [11:50]
mircea_popescu: and you know, not putting it in wholesale LAST time you ran into this problem with i dun recall what, it's how you woke up screaming in the middle of the night a half year later because OMFG WUT [11:50]
asciilifeform: i blew a week+ on it and put on shelf, sad [11:51]
mircea_popescu: wp is particularily distinguished for how it breaks down silently and inexplicably in corner cases. like you know, websoftwasre. [11:51]
mircea_popescu: ah wait, yeah, i recall you trying and couldn't get some corner in the door, what was it, do yo urecall ? [11:51]
asciilifeform: the spam filter [11:51]
asciilifeform: which to me was the mega-feature [11:51]
asciilifeform: ( i would like to ditch the google horror thing i've got in there presently ) [11:52]
asciilifeform: http://asciilifeform.com << asciilifeform's mp-wp test install. comments dun work... [11:54]
asciilifeform: ( i am wholly and deeply uninterested in a wp of any description whatsoever WITHOUT a spam filter. ) [11:54]
mircea_popescu: i dunno why it wouldn't work for you / [11:55]
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: remind me, did it rely on static ip ? [11:55]
mircea_popescu: i honestly dun recall how it works. [11:56]
mircea_popescu: i do know it takes a while to train, and that it ~never fucks up my queue, i need to click maybe 3 items a week. [11:57]
* asciilifeform tried just now transplanting mircea_popescu's get_comment_text() from comment-template.php into own www [12:01]

asciilifeform: reverted. [12:01]
mircea_popescu: sorry to hear. [12:01]
asciilifeform: quite strange, because mircea_popescu's item doesn't appear to use any exotica [12:02]

Framedragger: do you have an entry for loper-os.org? [12:21]
asciilifeform: IT ISN'T A STATIC IP !!!! [12:21]
asciilifeform: i guess i oughta have warned. [12:21]
mircea_popescu: awww. [12:21]
mircea_popescu: Framedragger yes. [12:21]
mircea_popescu: why, this is the expected behaviour ? [12:21]
asciilifeform: it is. [12:21]

asciilifeform: and costs penny. [12:22]
asciilifeform: the attempt to load random crapolade, somehow triggers this. [12:22]

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: no such thing on my end, fwiw. [12:22]
Framedragger: not sure about www.www, i also thought, maybe you have an alias loper-os.org => www.loper-os.org mircea_popescu ? [12:22]
asciilifeform: at least not where i can get to it. [12:22]
Framedragger: so www.loper-os.org actually becomes www.www [12:22]
mircea_popescu: i just have 208.94.116.204 www.loper-os.org [12:23]
asciilifeform: try 208.94.116.144 . [12:23]

mircea_popescu: :D!!! [12:26]
asciilifeform: well you wouldn't [12:26]
asciilifeform: because your mp-wp lives on conventional static ip box. [12:26]

asciilifeform: which twiddles the dns, silently, and serves up the correct d00d's site based on url requested. [12:30]
mircea_popescu: heh. ok then. [12:30]
asciilifeform: i have 0 manual control over this process. [12:30]
Framedragger: i mean, one can have a local entry in hosts file, even with old ip it seems, the client just needs to supply a correct 'Host' header field [12:30]
asciilifeform: and i don't have the budget to put it on own t3 like trilema was put. [12:30]

asciilifeform: right. [12:32]
asciilifeform: which makes nfs pricing scheme even MORE appealing [12:32]
asciilifeform: no one reads ? i pay ~0. [12:32]
asciilifeform: instead of monthly $hundreds [12:32]

BingoBoingo: "He put three rounds into the bull, behind its shoulder, a traditional target spot to bring down big game, but the bull did not fall. The rifle carried by Highland police is an AR-15 that shoots .223-caliber, non-penetrating rounds." << Not a enough bullet for Buffalo Lives Matter [13:43]
asciilifeform: ty BingoBoingo [13:44]
BingoBoingo: "But the bullet was not able to pierce the buffalo’s thick skull, which they use in nature like battering rams when they fight each other. However, the shot did knock the bull down to where Athmer could reposition again to gain a better angle and deliver more rounds. It took about a dozen shots total before the bull finally succumbed to its wounds in a brushy area about 100 yards off Tyson Road, about a quarter-mile outside the city li [13:45]
BingoBoingo: mits." << This a a serious failure of community policing. Why were better equipped citizens not deputized to combat the brown menace? [13:45]
asciilifeform: and ty mircea_popescu for the http://btcbase.org/log/2017-05-10#1654015 which worxxx great. [13:45]
a111: Logged on 2017-05-10 14:36 phf`: i'm pretty sure wp arbitrarily mungles posts/comments on render. that's why mircea_popescu's wp version has a special hack that wraps gpg data in a pre and ensures that wp doesn't touch it in any way [13:45]
asciilifeform: all that's missing is a new orwell to write 'shooting the bullephant' essay. [13:49]
mircea_popescu: da fuck is .223 non penetrating supposed to do. get the police robbed by hoodlums in vinyl suits ? [14:07]
* mircea_popescu wouldn't even carry that dumb shit. buy a model of a real gun from a toy store, get more mileage out of that. [14:07]
asciilifeform: ru '74' 5.56mm is similar. 'small bullet philosophy', 1970s [14:08]

mircea_popescu: lol [14:13]
mircea_popescu: dun work worth a shit for the police. [14:13]
mircea_popescu: anyway. the idea was, rather than actually drill the idiots we recruit into soldiers, cheaper easier and lazier to just give them a gun. and since they're idiots anyway, we "optimize" gun into peashooter. our democracy progressing continously towards further heights of socialism. [14:14]
mircea_popescu: then they run into actually trained actual men, and "o noes, snipers!!!" => collapsing tikrit "offensive" and "we're still two weeking mosul year and a half later" because three dudes didn't feel like speaking english that time. [14:15]
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> ru '74' 5.56mm is similar. 'small bullet philosophy', 1970s << Completely different thing. When "non-penetrating" is specified bullet generally has plastic jacket over core of lead pellets [14:18]
BingoBoingo: Idea is that 3/4" "firestop drywall" stops bullet in apartment buildings [14:19]

asciilifeform: the 'frangible' thing is crackpottery tho. [14:30]
asciilifeform: sounds like an attempt to make 'dumdum' without the bad pr ( but why?? ) [14:31]
mircea_popescu: the human/whatever body is made to resist certain stresses. you gotta be that tall to ride sort of situation. [14:31]
asciilifeform: bullet kills enemy with shock wave / liquifaction, not with hole ( notice, folx who have 'only hole', often live ) [14:32]
mircea_popescu: depends where. [14:32]
asciilifeform: just short of everywhere. [14:33]
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> the 'frangible' thing is crackpottery tho. << It's lawyerasty. Shooting through next apartment and killing cat would ruin a small podunk PD. [14:44]
asciilifeform: dunno that this is so [14:45]
asciilifeform: they routinely fire into crowds and nail folx even mile away, and 0 ruin. [14:45]

asciilifeform: ammonal existed in 20th c : '...Вбивают в камни аммонал,: Могилу рыть пора,: И содрогается запал: Бикфордова шнура...' ( v. shalamov ) [15:13]

BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> so no tractor << Amazingly "tractor supply" sells pretty much everything rural but the tractors. [15:14]
asciilifeform: 'A 24-year-old man from Portland, Oregon, used a Tannerite explosion as a means of suicide. Officials indicated that on March 19, 2015, the man parked his car along US Route 26 in a rural area near Mt. Hood and walked into nearby woods, where he detonated a "large quantity" of Tannerite with a .223 caliber rifle. The blast shattered trees and resulted in a crater two feet deep and ten feet wide.' << lol, the sheer wtf [15:15]
asciilifeform: why not simply eat the rifle. [15:15]
BingoBoingo: Perhaps he held a deep resentment against the trees? [15:16]
asciilifeform: or not satisfied with lethality of .223!111 [15:16]

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i oughta explain -- the astonishing thing wasn't that ammonal exists or that the 2 basic ingredients are sold in shops ( they indeed are , worldwide ) but that the 'mix it yourself' juridicial loophole still holds anywhere in usa ( it appears to, in a few states, for the time being . ) [15:27]
asciilifeform: remember, this was the country where a man got 20 yrs for being found with a shoelace and a semiauto [15:28]

asciilifeform: and initially applied to folx who had contraband in a hiding place somewhere outside of own house [15:30]
asciilifeform: then, was extended, in the classic american pattern, to 'he owned an X? he owned a Y ? where X+Y is $contraband ? now we only gotta prove 'intent to add X+Y'' [15:31]
asciilifeform: which is quite easy to do, 'six words of the honest man', etc. [15:31]
