| a111: | Logged on 2016-11-13 19:45 mircea_popescu: any string is any string. | [04:34] |
| Framedragger: | hence in effect, bob would control john's domain. hierarchy is baked into dns root. | [04:34] |
| Framedragger: | this is fine as long as it's made clear in regards to ownership etc. but it does put some additional responsibility / ontological charge(?) onto folks who'd own a TLD | [04:35] |
| Framedragger: | unless.. not necessarily? | [04:35] |

| mircea_popescu: | http://btcbase.org/log/2016-11-14#1566990 << there is no such thing as "tld". there's just strings. if you query r-dns for "fucksgoats" you get ip for "fucksgoats". if you query for "hurrdurr.fuckgoats" you get ip for "hurrdurr.fucksgoats". if you query for "Pwgaf,H6X/LJ8yt..OLjoNn+kyfFsOG5a?FpPbf!uxOS6" you get ip for "Pwgaf,H6X/LJ8yt..OLjoNn+kyfFsOG5a?FpPbf!uxOS6". | [07:27] |
| a111: | Logged on 2016-11-14 09:34 Framedragger: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-11-13#1566874 << re. republican dns root (i think this term is not ambiguous), as far as i can see, if bob owned .whatever TLD and john owned john.whatever SLD, then queries for john.whatever would still "pass" through bob's .whatever zone file. | [07:27] |
| mircea_popescu: | it is up to your client to decide if the domain "Pwgaf,H6X/LJ8yt..OLjoNn+kyfFsOG5a?FpPbf!uxOS6" should be queried as "Pwgaf,H6X/LJ8yt..OLjoNn+kyfFsOG5a?FpPbf!uxOS6" or "OLjoNn+kyfFsOG5a?FpPbf!uxOS6" or ".." or "nasa.org" or whatnot. dns just answers queries, and nothing else. | [07:28] |
| Framedragger: | mircea_popescu: this implies that there's basically a single dns server, though. it does not delegate to other dns servers, like what we have now | [07:28] |
| mircea_popescu: | it doesn't "delegate", it caches. you know, like in sanity land, as opposed to some bs hacked together by people who didn't go to school for cs 30 yearsd ago. | [07:29] |
| Framedragger: | (i mean, there could be caching servers, but they'd have to have the same up to date map of all strings to IPs.) | [07:29] |
| Framedragger: | caching != delegation in dns, afaik. | [07:29] |
| mircea_popescu: | they would have to be "the same" and "up to date" in the sense of dns "give it a day". | [07:29] |
| mircea_popescu: | hurr. | [07:29] |
| mircea_popescu: | of course not, but this because dns is broken. | [07:29] |
| Framedragger: | delegate = "i don't know about this, but this guy does. ask him" | [07:29] |
| mircea_popescu: | also note that nothing in the discussed scheme prevents you from doing delegation. yiu can just decide to split on the basis of the last character or the last two. | [07:32] |
| mircea_popescu: | it just correctly orthogonalizes the matter of delegation, which is dns internal cooking, and not the client's business. | [07:32] |
| mircea_popescu: | there's no reason ~you~ should know aforehand what the dns servers will tell you to ask if you look for "string containing substring x" and the fact that you DO know who to ask for ".com" is just another sign of the above "some bs hacked together by people who didn't go to school for cs 30 yearsd ago" | [07:33] |
| Framedragger: | hmm. i'm still not sure if your scheme does not require additional customization of dns server software (bind/unbound/whatever). i mean, if it does, so be it. | [07:33] |
| mircea_popescu: | it probably does because current dns software was written by goatfuckers. | [07:34] |
| mircea_popescu: | and we're not playing the "bug for bug compatible" game. | [07:34] |
| Framedragger: | there is a nuance: if lotsa customization is needed, perhaps time/energy is better spent on gossipd. a logistical question i guess. | [07:35] |
| mircea_popescu: | this thing and gossipd are parallel anyway. | [07:36] |
| mircea_popescu: | also, the customization is the job of the client not of the server. "you wanna use this - here's the standard" suffices. | [07:36] |
| Framedragger: | to an extent, i would say, no? in gossipd, user would have their own "hosts" file, mapping mircea_popescu to $fingerprint or w/e | [07:36] |
| mircea_popescu: | i suppose, but that part wouldn't be the first to relate. the part that'd first to relate is that you gotta talk to these servers to admin your strings. and well... talk over... what. | [07:37] |
| mircea_popescu: | moreover, how do you handle splits ? maybe "trilema.com" should be owned by mp in mp's shadow and by whoever in some other space. | [07:38] |
| mircea_popescu: | there is EXACTLY ONE solution to "zooko's triangle" - and it is called gossipd. it works by crushing the socialist mind and its foul expectation of "any person is any person". not fucking so. | [07:39] |
| mircea_popescu: | people aren't strings. | [07:39] |
| Framedragger: | so yeah, running a republican dns root would still imply "collaborating" with current internet infrastructure. reform, not revolution. something like, in those tmsr ISP discussion, someone e.g suggesting to acquire an autonomous system number for tmsr. "is it even worth it." | [07:40] |
| mircea_popescu: | i'm sorry ? | [07:40] |
| Framedragger: | low on sugar, broken english | [07:40] |
| mircea_popescu: | try again. | [07:40] |
| mircea_popescu: | and of course we managed this situation where half the conversation is here hjalf on trilema to maximally confuse the future interested party. ALL BECAUSE YOU CAN'T HAVE THE PATIENCE TO GET ANSWER THERE!111 | [07:41] |
| Framedragger: | the whole "patch a DNS server and run alternative root" effort sounds interesting and useful, but, as you said, eventually the underlying layer would need to swapped for gossipd anyway. in gossipd, UDP/TCP as currently used by DNS may not even work. hence there may be a redundancy of effort | [07:42] |
| mircea_popescu: | "but that part wouldn't be the first to relate. the part that'd first to relate is that you gotta talk to these servers to admin your strings" | [07:42] |
| Framedragger: | and maybe it's worth to focus on gossipd first. but i see what you're saying regarding these two things being parallel. i guess. | [07:42] |
| mircea_popescu: | at first, gossipd replaces the current "talk to servers to admin your strings" which happens, essentially, over substitute-email and http-sessions. | [07:43] |
| Framedragger: | mircea_popescu: my excuse is, i don't feel like i have enough original content to keep spamming your comments box. what can i say. such self esteem | [07:43] |
| Framedragger: | right. | [07:44] |
| mircea_popescu: | it's a typical disaster of commons of the republican era - the needs and interests of people not here yet figure a lot less in the eyes of the present man than his immediate pulsion of lowest order. and in 10 years the choices so made become written in stone and the poor schmucks pay for them. it's sad but unsolvable. | [07:44] |
| Framedragger: | and, i suppose, republican dns server could work in a way that already facilitates session-less communication - pgprams issuing orders to change zone files, etc. | [07:44] |
| mircea_popescu: | the OTHER disaster of commons of the republican era is discussed on trilema re "you can't decide what's worth doing", if you recall that footnote. | [07:44] |
| mircea_popescu: | Framedragger yes, but communicatin by sending pgpgrams is already a simplified gossipd is the point. | [07:45] |
| mircea_popescu: | hand-cranked, arbitrary, etc. but still it is it. | [07:45] |
| Framedragger: | yes indeed and now i see that maybe there wouldn't be too much of a redundancy there - that is, when gossipd arrives, dns server could still accept pgprams, they'd simply come via gossipd - and the latter may even sit behind an abstracted network interface, etc. | [07:46] |
| mircea_popescu: | quite exactly. | [07:47] |
| mircea_popescu: | we've been amply using this "alternate leg" climbing method to build towers. | [07:47] |
| Framedragger: | okay, i'm less confused now | [07:47] |
| Framedragger: | rather ingenious if i may say so! | [07:47] |
| mircea_popescu: | yeah, what can i tell you, as ingenious as walk. 10s of ks of years old. | [07:48] |
| Framedragger: | i wonder if a simpler key-value store wouldn't work as a replacement for dns server. "flatten" the whole thing, so that, as you say, dns server wouldn't distinguish between types of substrings. the latter would be up to the client, if it willed to do so. | [07:53] |
| mircea_popescu: | and here i thought i said just that | [07:53] |
| Framedragger: | caching could be easily done, too | [07:53] |
| Framedragger: | argh. | [07:53] |
| Framedragger: | up until this point i thought that the idea would be to use an existing dns server, for sake of ease | [07:54] |
| mircea_popescu: | what did you take http://btcbase.org/log/2016-11-14#1567006 to mean ? (it being the 3rd or so pass at this) | [07:54] |
| a111: | Logged on 2016-11-14 12:27 mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-11-14#1566990 << there is no such thing as "tld". there's just strings. if you query r-dns for "fucksgoats" you get ip for "fucksgoats". if you query for "hurrdurr.fuckgoats" you get ip for "hurrdurr.fucksgoats". if you query for "Pwgaf,H6X/LJ8yt..OLjoNn+kyfFsOG5a?FpPbf!uxOS6" you get ip for "Pwgaf,H6X/LJ8yt..OLjoNn+kyfFsOG5a?FpPbf!uxOS6". | [07:54] |
| Framedragger: | the administration / record-updating would be a separate layer in any case. | [07:54] |
| mircea_popescu: | shows you the power of bias / mental fixation i guess ? | [07:54] |
| Framedragger: | ah, "r-dns" is republican dns. not reverse dns or sth like that. more clear | [07:55] |
| mircea_popescu: | and holy shit no you don't want to reuse dns server code oh my fucking god. | [07:55] |
| mircea_popescu: | have you SEEN that shit ?! | [07:55] |
| Framedragger: | mircea_popescu: thanks for bearing with me. yes, fixation. | [07:55] |
| Framedragger: | well, BIND is.. not vulernability-impaired. lots of fleas. and code quality - can only imagine | [07:55] |
| Framedragger: | openssl vibes. | [07:56] |
| Framedragger: | right. | [07:56] |
| Framedragger: | mircea_popescu: you'd still want r-dns to be able to serve existing dns clients though, right? i mean, things like `nslookup`, dns resolution libraries, etc - the current dns protocol? or no? | [07:56] |
| mircea_popescu: | ideally. | [07:56] |
| mircea_popescu: | but if a patch is required then that's fine too. | [07:57] |
| mircea_popescu: | (likely the patch will come in the shape of a dnsmasq clone, which will handle stuff like "tld" as well as things like http://btcbase.org/log/2016-11-12#1566482 via settings etc) | [07:58] |
| a111: | Logged on 2016-11-12 15:50 mircea_popescu: set up your client to pick two-of-three, give it 1 republic and 2 reich servers. it'll give you republic for all the things reich doesn't know and reich for stuff like apple.com | [07:58] |

| Framedragger: | oh god. dns is defined using a shitload of RFCs. but easiest way to learn of low-level transport nuances is, well, wireshark. so, wiresharking and eating cake. at the very least this will end up as (possibly) useful website comment for future adventurers. | [08:21] |
| Framedragger: | what is nice is that the dns transport itself is quite elegant - questions/answers - one packet for query, another for answer. so transport is (in principle) compatible with session-less gossipd model, i think. | [08:22] |
| mircea_popescu: | aha | [08:29] |
| mircea_popescu: | is it delicious cake or just ordinary cake ? | [08:30] |
| Framedragger: | mircea_popescu: i'm curious, do you currently manually add entries to your hosts file? wireshark shows so much gunk flying around. like, i've got ad blockers and everything, but still lotsa facebook dns requests all around, etc. | [08:31] |
| Framedragger: | quite delicious! mississippi mud pie. oreo base, brownie-esk filling. amateur-made (office tradition), but very much acceptabru. | [08:32] |
| mircea_popescu: | good for you! | [08:32] |
| mircea_popescu: | Framedragger yes, i add names manually. i see jackshit flying around lol. | [08:32] |

| asciilifeform: | this number gets thrown into the hopper every time phuctor fires | [10:55] |
| mircea_popescu: | right... | [10:56] |
| asciilifeform: | it nails moduli with 'small' factors. | [10:56] |
| mircea_popescu: | it doesn't also contain all other factors found ? | [10:56] |
| asciilifeform: | nope, that's not how bernstein's algo worx | [10:56] |

| asciilifeform: | it does not rely on writing down the formerly found factors | [10:56] |
| asciilifeform: | but operates on all moduli at once, every time it fires. | [10:56] |
| mircea_popescu: | s/8ball/bernstein/ | [10:57] |
| asciilifeform: | this recent find is an excellent illustration, it shared the factor solely with own subkeys | [10:57] |

| mircea_popescu: | ic. | [10:58] |
| asciilifeform: | (does not appear to be of any special form, in so far as i can presently tell, but is in fact prime by every test i've tried) | [10:58] |
| mircea_popescu: | so if this is some "expert" hardware that does this stupid shit, we'll be seeing it again. | [10:58] |

| Framedragger: | when i was hitch hiking in albania a few years back, i ate lotsa watermelons. because 1) they were awesome there, and 2) it was middle of summer, hot, so lower food intake overall | [11:49] |
| Framedragger: | it was great. | [11:49] |

| ben_vulpes: | mircea_popescu: lol, did a double-take on the dood in the back | [13:20] |
| ben_vulpes: | Framedragger: happy to hand mine over, but vvande has deeper logs and will share them with you for the asking | [13:23] |
| ben_vulpes: | anyways, opennic project is ~dead, with remaining maggots deeply allergic to republican notions. | [13:23] |

| mircea_popescu: | and, of course, 2000s vintage imperial lulz https://archive.is/g9O6H | [14:37] |
| mircea_popescu: | (note that they quite exactly identify the exact reason gossipd makes empire impossible : "In the case of a public communications system this condition of a common symbol set with a common semantic interpretation must be further strengthened to that of a unique symbol set with a unique semantic interpretation. This condition of uniqueness allows any party to initiate a communication that can be received and understood by any | [14:40] |
| mircea_popescu: | other party. Such a condition rules out the ability to define a symbol within some bounded context. In such a case, once the communication moves out of the context of interpretation in which it was defined, the meaning of the symbol becomes lost." | [14:40] |
| mircea_popescu: | they built usg in not for any reason than because they WERE usg. postel's "oh noes - otherwise CHAOS" is exactly symptomatic. just like the arab mind can't quite comprehend how one who doesn't give a shit about allah may manage to drink from a cup, just so usgtards can't comprehend how one who isn't a socialist can at all live. | [14:42] |
| mircea_popescu: | "but without our stupid bigotry there'd be CHAOS!!11". yeah, i'm sure there would be. for you. | [14:42] |
| mircea_popescu: | "this is a technical requirement, not a policy choice" - fancy that wonder. what else is "not a policy choice" ? | [14:44] |
| mircea_popescu: | and of course, the capper : "This memo does not introduce any new security issues, but it does attempt to identify some of the problems inherent in a family of recurring technically naive proposals." | [14:48] |
| mircea_popescu: | because what the fuck else would crown the retard more than the pretense that he's some sort of misunderstood genius, and his betters "naive" ? | [14:48] |

| mircea_popescu: | yes, motherfucker. this is exactly it : your continued existence is offensive. either you desist, forget this "social justice" nonsense ever existed, and EVERYTHING to do with it - or else YOU will have started a war, with YOUR idiocy. | [17:09] |

| mircea_popescu: | maybe it's time to apologize for making up bullshit and calling it "global warming" ? maybe its time to cut off your balls and cut off your keyboard fingers ? maybe ? | [17:10] |
| mircea_popescu: | asciilifeform all the better then. honestly i prefer bloodshed to contrite tears. | [17:10] |
| asciilifeform: | they learned 0, because 'thief is never sorry, only sorry that he was caught' | [17:11] |

| mircea_popescu: | looked more like a housemade flamethrower at first sight | [20:15] |
| asciilifeform: | it's a columbinator. | [20:15] |
| mod6: | pete_dushenski: hey, glad you got a prize, I did like the yugo joke. | [20:15] |
| mircea_popescu: | asciilifeform dude no wai that's an ACTUAL tec-9. too fucking banged up | [20:16] |
| mod6: | Oh, maybe it wsa for the sax joke. Didn't see that. | [20:16] |
| asciilifeform: | mircea_popescu: antique. ~none made since late '90s, and was made half of plastic to even begin with | [20:17] |
| mircea_popescu: | nuts. | [20:17] |
| asciilifeform: | but ended up 'cult object' for complicated cultural reasonz | [20:17] |
| mod6: | mainly because of rap iirc. | [20:18] |
| mircea_popescu: | i have nfi why, it's not really a very good gun ? | [20:18] |
| asciilifeform: | mircea_popescu: by all possible measures (save for cost, was cheapo) it sucked donkey balls, but on account of unusual shape became memorable in film etc | [20:19] |
| mircea_popescu: | yeah. mostly cuz it looks like someone's garage-made flamethrower. | [20:21] |
| asciilifeform: | swedish maker went bust after clinton banned it by name. | [20:21] |
| mod6: | yeah, if those were envogue in the early 90s, the cheap aks were by the end of the 90s for sure. | [20:21] |
| mircea_popescu: | i half expected it's a converted camping butane burner | [20:21] |
| asciilifeform: | it resembles, imho, british 'sten', which was , yes, garage tech | [20:21] |
| mircea_popescu: | open bolt etc | [20:21] |
| asciilifeform: | ratatatatatat. | [20:21] |
| mircea_popescu: | incidentally alf : why don't ANY of these fucking idiots doing "mass shootings" like EVER read a fucking training manual, figure out they're supposed to carry ft not ap small arms ? | [20:22] |
| mircea_popescu: | "oh i'ma go to my school shoot everyone". really ? | [20:22] |
| mircea_popescu: | it'd even suit their inability to aim something fierce. | [20:23] |
| asciilifeform: | columbine d00dz supposedly brought propane tanks, but had nfi how to set off. | [20:23] |
| mircea_popescu: | (in ww2, the worst marksman always got the flamethrower. worst job, shit's heavy, you gotta get close etc) | [20:23] |
| mircea_popescu: | asciilifeform propane my foot. plasticated gasoline mix what is this. | [20:24] |
| asciilifeform: | bonus for using it british-style : douse 1,001 derps, then ask 'why not light match?' | [20:24] |
| asciilifeform: | let them say why not. | [20:25] |
| asciilifeform: | and make it known that if you see cop - will flick bic. | [20:25] |

| mod6: | <+mircea_popescu> (in ww2, the worst marksman always got the flamethrower. worst job, shit's heavy, you gotta get close etc) << oh no doubt. that's a rough job. like having a damn bomb on your back. next as bad is probably the radio guy. | [20:26] |
| mod6: | (radio guy has antenne sticking up, easy target.) | [20:27] |
| mircea_popescu: | iirc radio guy was favoritism spot, because you get to go into bunker / safer position / next to co | [20:28] |
| mod6: | well, prolly each squad/platoon has one in the forward position, relaying stuff back to other radio guy next to co in bunker. but, ya. | [20:29] |
| asciilifeform: | dunno re elsewhere, but in su army it was a mixed bag, co was expected to shoot radioman if the latter is at risk of capture (e.g., injured & down) | [20:29] |
| mircea_popescu: | i dun think they did this on the allied side. | [20:30] |
| asciilifeform: | possibly because did not much bother with field crypto there | [20:30] |
| mircea_popescu: | mod6 i dunno that as late as vietnam they had that many forwards like that. generally even the artillery reporters were small squad with co machine gun 3-4 rifles etc | [20:31] |
| mod6: | ah, yah perhaps. | [20:32] |
| mircea_popescu: | (most of vietnam cinematic footage is one of these artillery reporter squads. works well for the needs of the camera.) | [20:33] |
| mod6: | <+asciilifeform> dunno re elsewhere, but in su army it was a mixed bag, co was expected to shoot radioman if the latter is at risk of capture (e.g., injured & down) << did the su radio guys have all the otp's for the day there with him or what not? | [20:35] |
| mircea_popescu: | i expect. | [20:36] |
| mircea_popescu: | truth be told the anglos had this "crypto dun werk" outlook throughout. | [20:36] |
| asciilifeform: | mod6: nah, they tended to use barbarisms where the man has a code in memory | [20:36] |
| mircea_popescu: | no otp ?! | [20:36] |
| asciilifeform: | incl. his 'morse fist' | [20:36] |
| mod6: | i gotta dig this up | [20:37] |
| asciilifeform: | when captured, would be made to 'funkspiel' with his characteristic style | [20:37] |
| asciilifeform: | ergo had to be shot. | [20:37] |
| mod6: | ooh. | [20:37] |
| mod6: | so the 'morse fist' was a guys ability to send error free and 'style' of the transmission of the message | [20:39] |
| asciilifeform: | iirc 'fist' is what engl.speaking folk called morse 'handwriting' in those times. | [20:39] |
| mod6: | i see | [20:40] |
| mircea_popescu: | mod6 you know how morse goes, every op has specific timings. | [20:40] |

| deedbot: | Test voiced for 30 minutes. | [20:40] |
| mod6: | mircea_popescu: yah, that makes sense. | [20:41] |
| mircea_popescu: | that strange feeling when bing returns trilema for img search for "check your privilege shitlord". | [20:44] |
| mircea_popescu: | i had no fucking idea anyone actually uses bing. | [20:44] |
| asciilifeform: | wasn't it made default in firefox when the latter was colonized? | [20:44] |
| mircea_popescu: | o was it ? | [20:45] |
| asciilifeform: | (it also silently replaced 'yahoo search' some years ago) | [20:45] |
| mircea_popescu: | no that also still exists. | [20:45] |
| mircea_popescu: | there's also, i kid you not, Microsoft MSN Search | [20:46] |
| mircea_popescu: | i even get hits from excite, but i figure that's gotta be a joke. | [20:46] |
| mircea_popescu: | oh and to round off the lulz, http://trilema.com/administrator/components/com_jnewsletter/includes/openflashchart/php-ofc-library/ofc_upload_image.php?name=magic.php and http://trilema.com/components/com_jnews/includes/openflashchart/php-ofc-library/ofc_upload_image.php?name=magic.php.pHp because ofcourse. | [20:53] |

| asciilifeform: | 'The attacker just have to press and keep pressing the [Enter] key at the LUKS password prompt until a shell appears, which occurs after 70 seconds approx.' | [21:09] |

| mircea_popescu: | lmao | [21:09] |
| mircea_popescu: | why are all ubuntus the same ? | [21:09] |
| mircea_popescu: | asciilifeform the money shot is : "dracut is ALSO vulnerable, like initramfs is". because no, none of this is accidental, not anymore than castrated hipster's support for hillary is accidental. | [21:10] |
| asciilifeform: | at this point anyone with 2 neurons to rub together , i'd suppose, grasps this | [21:11] |
| mircea_popescu: | the key point however, is that it's also not "directed", so to speak. | [21:12] |
| asciilifeform: | is put in out of 'general principle' | [21:12] |
| mircea_popescu: | they're not dumb because the evil witch of the west tells them to, and when she dies they'll all wake up from dumb like from a spell. | [21:12] |
| asciilifeform: | and falls into half dozen or so rough taxanomic holes | [21:12] |
| mircea_popescu: | no, they are dumb because they are dumb, like iron is ductile because it is ductile any possible identified witches are scapegoats | [21:13] |
| asciilifeform: | 'break console auth', 'rot rng',... | [21:13] |
| asciilifeform: | eh if farmer dies and cows escape into the desert, they will remain == as stupid as before, but ~undirectedly~ | [21:14] |
| mircea_popescu: | i suppose they are farmed, yes. | [21:15] |
| mircea_popescu: | and in other news, bannon makes chief of staff. | [21:35] |
| mircea_popescu: | bureaucracy deeply butthurt. | [21:35] |
| mircea_popescu: | i'm sorry chief ~strategist~. priebus will be chief of staff fwtw. | [21:38] |
| asciilifeform: | dafuq sort of name is 'priebus' | [21:53] |
| asciilifeform: | norwegian? | [21:54] |
| mircea_popescu: | i have no idea. | [21:54] |
| mircea_popescu: | in other lulz, nigel farage is utterly furios that notwithstanding he's the only brit with a trump pass, nevertheless may & friends won't come kiss his pinky ring. | [21:56] |
| mircea_popescu: | pretty lulzy. | [21:56] |
| mircea_popescu: | anyway, it's so funny how much can change in a mere coupla decades. from clinton's "boy, i wish i could say the same" to obama's "i solemnly promise & swear trump won't be elected". | [21:59] |
| mircea_popescu: | i guess it makes sense one got impeached. | [21:59] |
| mircea_popescu: | well... almost impeached. | [21:59] |
| asciilifeform: | https://archive.is/vsMXn << not, as appearances might suggest, wholly unrelated: derps froth at the mouth that anyone might dare to play german conquest marches, 'I hope someone will inform their music authorities', 'I am usually very moderate about showcasing of the original information, but I don't think new performances should be encouraged!', etc. | [22:50] |
