ben_vulpes well no it wouldn't be sensible things [18:00]
ben_vulpes aight but before we go haring off completely is there an argument to be made in favor of wotmembers signing authentication tokens over decrypting authentication tokens? [18:01]
mircea_popescu anyway, back to the dpaste : im not abstaining from helping or anything of the sort. there's been an idea, it's been trashing around in the b-a uterus trying to come to conception. it doesn't seem that it actually works tho, seems more like an irrealisable chimera of disparate, irreconcilable parts. [18:01]
mircea_popescu the correct solution also seems to have emerged, how's any of this my fault. [18:01]
mircea_popescu i don't think i want an authenticated dpaste, myself. [18:02]
mircea_popescu for the stated reason : for the same money i just use my blog to host the file [18:02]
mircea_popescu which is specifically what i said above : there will exist EXACTLY ONE place i authenticate at ; the name for that place is "my blog" [18:03]

mircea_popescu the reason for this is that so many titles start with The in english that it debalanced the sorting tree (implemented in nature as shelves) [18:26]

mircea_popescu that's exactly not it. the difference is that the former STOLE something. a little bit of something, and something that wasn't well bolted down by a legal process. 300 years ago you'd go to jail for pretending to be the mayor ; even today you can go to jail for pretending to be a cop.

asciilifeform not mega-trick. but works. [20:37]
asciilifeform granted, hex editor will show you immediately why. but the 'plain text is readable without tools' illusion is - just that [20:38]
mircea_popescu a yea, iirc we even had a discussion about scripts doing ^H etc here, with a link and everything. [20:38]
asciilifeform possibly [20:38]

mircea_popescu note however that you can't rely on me reading the "clearsigned" thing with any particular mechanism. [20:40]
mircea_popescu for all you know i do read it in a byte editor. [20:40]
asciilifeform aha [20:41]
asciilifeform at which point the supposed advantage of the 'plainness' is nowhere to be found [20:41]
mircea_popescu so this entire "unix terminal is retarded" thing isn't as much of a concern [20:41]
mircea_popescu how so ? [20:41]
* DreadKnight has quit (Quit: #AncientBeast - Master Your Beasts ( www.AncientBeast.com )) [20:42]
asciilifeform because if you want to avoid 'malleability', now you have to actually use a tool that shows you the bytes. [20:42]
asciilifeform incl. the nonprintable ones. [20:42]
mircea_popescu ideally, clearsign would reject anything but ascii. [20:44]
asciilifeform well, it'd necessarily have to be more narrow than ascii [20:44]
mircea_popescu "these are your father's letters" [20:44]
asciilifeform (in having magical words) [20:44]
mircea_popescu hm ? [20:44]
asciilifeform either the start/end marker (as in traditional gpg) or length offset marker (as somebody suggested here) [20:45]
asciilifeform but in no case could i be ~guaranteed~ of signing an arbitrary ascii string without mutilation [20:45]
mircea_popescu - is not ascii [20:45]
asciilifeform sure as fuck is [20:45]
asciilifeform unless they have a different character set on mars, also called ascii, where - is not 45 [20:46]
mircea_popescu to put it sanely-er : i'm more than happy to redefine "ascii" for clearsign to include a subset of ascii [20:46]
asciilifeform telex! [20:46]
mircea_popescu quite [20:46]

mircea_popescu i lived just fine with telex. [20:46]
* asciilifeform looks forward to using mircea_popescu's p-block for telex clearsigs. [20:47]
asciilifeform in fact, whole point of 'p' originally in my head was so that mircea_popescu could have these. [20:47]
mircea_popescu honestly, in my mind i realise now, gpg --clearisng has taken over a hole left by telex. [20:47]
mircea_popescu quite exactly. [20:47]

Additionally, the Committee believes the IC's information technology modernization effort--the IC Information Technology Enterprise--must provide the infrastructure to detect insider threats earli [20:58]

asciilifeform this plus the fact that there is no meaningful collateral damage [21:48]
asciilifeform because a 'cloud' node is a pseudonode. [21:48]
thestringpuller and a node run on hardware in a datacenter is not? [21:49]
asciilifeform not normally, no. [21:49]
ben_vulpes and you propose to identify all such virtualized nodes somehow? [21:49]
ben_vulpes what next, rackspace? [21:50]
mircea_popescu no, he just proposes to whack some more obvious ones. [21:50]
ben_vulpes "enumerating badness" [21:50]
asciilifeform ben_vulpes: by no means. but why permit known and exhaustively-catalogued rubbish ? [21:50]
asciilifeform presently it is the most pestilential variety of rubbish [21:50]
asciilifeform on account of the 'easy & cheap' [21:50]
