So where was this Nazi-Fag-Moron-Loser, Gramps when the Freeping Goopers bought in all this domestic spying? http://www.lair.xent.com/pipermail/fork/2003-July/023219.html I mean at least some of us tried to stop these fascist right-wing GOP criminals.

JIM Bell loses all street-cred as a cypherpunk revolutionary
by professor rat 11 Aug '21

11 Aug '21

Since he started hanging with brain-dead losers - like Jeff Berwick and the WL dead-enders here - Dumbass Jim Dumb-bell has been letting his inner-lunatic go on full display. Those whom the cryptoanarchist Gods wish to destroy they first make as hopelessly degenerate imbecile as Eric Hughes, Satoshi Nakamoto and Tim May. With great power comes great irresponsibility. Ashes to ashes - dust to dust. Wreckwiat in pacem. Tramp the dirt down.

One for the Mange Deadenders

All three of them... emptywheel ·1h Reminder for those who thing I'm being overly harsh. I was asked, explicitly, by someone very close to Assange not to truthfully cover Joshua Schulte's case bc, I was told, it would hurt the strategy for Assange's defense. 4 20 79 https://twitter.com/emptywheel

https://altcensored.com/about/ YouTube limits access to videos that are neither illegal, nor violate their own Terms and Conditions or Community Guidelines. "Limited state" videos are placed behind a warning message, cannot be shared, monetized or easily found, and have likes, comments, view counts and suggested videos disabled. YouTube removes videos that violate their ever-changing and arbitrarily enforced Community Guidelines, while Creators increasingly "self-censor" trying to avoid channel strikes and terminations. altCensored.com is an unbiased community catalog of 167556 limited state, removed, and self-censored YouTube videos across 9257 monitored channels, of which 2105 have been deleted and 1980 are being archived in case of deletion.

Crypto: Roll Your Own Crypto?: Study of Vulns in Crypto Libs
by grarpamp 11 Aug '21

11 Aug '21

https://arxiv.org/abs/2107.04940 You Really Shouldn't Roll Your Own Crypto: An Empirical Study of Vulnerabilities in Cryptographic Libraries The security of the Internet rests on a small number of open-source cryptographic libraries: a vulnerability in any one of them threatens to compromise a significant percentage of web traffic. Despite this potential for security impact, the characteristics and causes of vulnerabilities in cryptographic software are not well understood. In this work, we conduct the first comprehensive analysis of cryptographic libraries and the vulnerabilities affecting them. We collect data from the National Vulnerability Database, individual project repositories and mailing lists, and other relevant sources for eight widely used cryptographic libraries. Among our most interesting findings is that only 27.2% of vulnerabilities in cryptographic libraries are cryptographic issues while 37.2% of vulnerabilities are memory safety issues, indicating that systems-level bugs are a greater security concern than the actual cryptographic procedures. In our investigation of the causes of these vulnerabilities, we find evidence of a strong correlation between the complexity of these libraries and their (in)security, empirically demonstrating the potential risks of bloated cryptographic codebases. We further compare our findings with non-cryptographic systems, observing that these systems are, indeed, more complex than similar counterparts, and that this excess complexity appears to produce significantly more vulnerabilities in cryptographic libraries than in non-cryptographic software.

Not all journalists are our enemies
by professor rat 11 Aug '21

11 Aug '21

But most journalists are our enemies. "...if the effect of a crime committed by person who is outside america is against eg a computer or other thing or person inside america, then in american law that crime was committed within the bounds of the unitedstates, notwithstanding that the criminal was not in america. So issues of extraterritoriality do not apply..." Its been a half-century since Woodward and Bernstein. So what have journo's done for us lately? Mongo was opposed to any special journalists privileges - for once he was right.

The tactical case for Mange support
by professor rat 11 Aug '21

11 Aug '21

Putting aside all the well-grounded charges of anti-social, crime, KGB and Nazi propagandizing, etc, the tactical case for Mange hinges on his world-historical importance. What has he done to justify our support? As it turns nothing - even by his own 2013 July estimation - except MAYBE having something to do with the defeat of Nurse Ratched in 2016. There are serious problems with attribution here though. Its hard to say if WL tipped the scales decisively enough to make a difference. If you can rationalize this you might decide to tactically support Mange temporarily. And along with that comes a lot of lying-by-omission so...I hope you're the Journalist type. Or maybe you're the Manson-Family-type. But do I repeat myself? Break-a-leg.

Journalists and APster - All lies - all the time
by professor rat 11 Aug '21

11 Aug '21

Having closely followed the APster saga from mid-90's on I can safely say I've read most of the corpse-media reports on it. They invariably lied about it. When you omit the concluding part of a ten-part essay then that's lying. Lying-by-omission. Amid this quarter-century of bad-faith and bullshit from servants of the state, it becomes more apparent that - in any large military-entertainment-complex - the corpse-media is precisely half the problem. To see the author of the APster essay defend journalism and journalists here is a spectacular exhibition of masochism. Jim Bell may as well hang a large " KICK ME " sign on his stomach. Strategically, I think lying is not something any revolutionary cypherpunk should support. The enemy ramps up its lying-by-omission so long as most people think they run things. People stop believing that - they stop running things.
