useless eaters - oxygen thieves - carbon polluters → useless dirt proliferators - oxygen polluters - carbon thieves
by Zenaan Harkness 01 May '19

01 May '19

What's it like to be a useless eater oxygen thief carbon poll/uter? Or "human ≡ evil"? And what about those carbon thieving, oxygen pollutin' useless dirt proliferators? Seriously, "trees ≡ evil" their leaves turn into dirt, they pollute our world with an abundance of fire promoting oxygen, and these so called "green" trees are stealing so much carbon from the atmosphere it's not funny... Life couldn't just be a matter of perspective, could it? Perhaps, in this thing some folk call reality, we actually live within a symbiotic, perfectly complementary natural wonderland? (Actual etc problems notwithstanding...)

Fwd: [nncp-devel] [EN] NNCP 4.0 release announcement
by Shawn K. Quinn 01 May '19

01 May '19

ICYMI: -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [nncp-devel] [EN] NNCP 4.0 release announcement Date: Sun, 28 Apr 2019 16:57:24 +0300 From: Sergey Matveev <stargrave(a)stargrave.org> To: nncp-devel(a)lists.cypherpunks.ru I am pleased to announce NNCP 4.0 release availability! NNCP (Node to Node copy) is a collection of utilities simplifying secure store-and-forward files and mail exchanging. This utilities are intended to help build up small size (dozens of nodes) ad-hoc friend-to-friend (F2F) statically routed darknet delay-tolerant networks for fire-and-forget secure reliable files, file requests, Internet mail and commands transmission. All packets are integrity checked, end-to-end encrypted (E2EE), explicitly authenticated by known participants public keys. Onion encryption is applied to relayed packets. Each node acts both as a client and server, can use push and poll behaviour model. Out-of-box offline sneakernet/floppynet, dead drops, sequential and append-only CD-ROM/tape storages, air-gapped computers support. But online TCP daemon with full-duplex resumable data transmission exists. ------------------------ >8 ------------------------ The main improvements for that release are: * *Incompatible* encrypted and eblob packet format change: AEAD encryption mode with 128 KiB blocks is used now, because previously nncp-toss did not verify encrypted packet's MAC before feeding decrypted data to external command. Older versions are not supported. * Available free space checking before copying in nncp-xfer, nncp-daemon, nncp-call(er). * nncp-call has ability only to list packets on remote node, without their transmission. * nncp-call has ability to transfer only specified packets. * Workability of xxrate preference in calls configuration file section. * Dependant libraries are updated. * Minor bugfixes. * Begin using of go.mod subsystem. ------------------------ >8 ------------------------ NNCP's home page is: http://www.nncpgo.org/ Source code and its signature for that version can be found here: http://www.nncpgo.org/download/nncp-4.0.tar.xz (1227 KiB) http://www.nncpgo.org/download/nncp-4.0.tar.xz.sig SHA256 hash: EAFA6272 22E355FC EB772A90 FC6DEA8E AE1F1695 3F48A4A3 57ADA0B4 FF918452 GPG key ID: 0x2B25868E75A1A953 NNCP releases <releases(a)nncpgo.org> Fingerprint: 92C2 F0AE FE73 208E 46BF F3DE 2B25 868E 75A1 A953 Please send questions regarding the use of NNCP, bug reports and patches to mailing list: https://lists.cypherpunks.ru/pipermail/nncp-devel/ -- Sergey Matveev (http://www.stargrave.org/) OpenPGP: CF60 E89A 5923 1E76 E263 6422 AE1A 8109 E498 57EF -- Shawn K.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5KXHgh2rTTw decentralized deception https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b8JZQrGw3ho one response A random avg joe's take https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EK9wEF0vTGQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZIC7MDNgyrg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QVk6XH1oYUY Crypto is so much about this... hundreds millions people around the world each researching making their own evaluations and choices in things from philosphy to technical to markets to family, right or wrong, win or lose, talking with each other, learning, sharing ideas, expanding their thinking. Don't discount what the average Jane's around the world think and want. You can find lots of their tubes if you look around, linked herein two random, not even representative, examples. And a few, a *very* few not necessarily shown herein, are actually seeking truth, approaching and doing things responsibly. They are the ones bringing the future. Find and support and hear them out, the few real ones, among the colossal lot of retards, shills, scams, frauds, statists, fools, fooled, metoos, governments, banks, corporations, and the like. It's either fully distributed decentralized worldwide p2p transaction mineable privacy coins, in/out via IRL p2p and DEX and truly openly inspectable exchanges... or Fiat... pick one, or both in some fraction. They are mutually exclusive, there is no middle ground but fakery and witches. That has always been, and always will be, the story of cryptocurrency... DYOR... make the story a good one. It's not easy, but it's possible.

Re: [liberationtech] Democrats rally around pledge not to use hacked documents (Wash Post)

Those disavowing it are simply afraid of the truth it contains. Disavowers forging joint compacts are attempting to universally discredit and wage war against the truth. Jointly fudding it is their only defense tactic left. Deny deny deny, and never open up for inspection... it's the oldest game in town. Pledges are also a total lie, no politician would refuse to use fruits in such razor thin and engineered "elections", it would be campaign suicide not to, so they'll just use them secretly. Information seeks to be free, to be its own open market, "National Security" is just another Top Secret FUD attack against the natural state and tide of information, an attempt to put freedom back in the bottle, and keep power out in force. Don't let that happen. 2020 US elections will see many documents "liberated". "Pledge" to curate and keep them freely accessible to the world. Because as you can see in the last link above, the FUD is already having desired effect on media, causing them to second guess themselves, to focus on "'criminal' sources" instead of on the information, etc The fourth estate is hardly as strong, independant, or innocent as people think... in most places of note it's already done in, and getting consistantly worse across the board [1]. But you still have the internet... at least for a little while longer... so really it's up to you now.

oniontinc: tinc via Tor v3 onions with MPTCP
by Ann Brown 29 Apr '19

29 Apr '19

Basically, oniontinc routes tinc via Tor, and uses MPTCP for multipathing and link aggregation. tinc hosts listen for connections to Tor v3 onion services, and they connect to peers using Tor SocksPorts. MPTCP aggregates full-mesh connections between hosts, with a preference for those that have greater bandwidth and lower latency. For Internet hosts with well-peered gigabit uplinks, this permits throughput among peers at 30-50 Mbps for multiple streams. There are bash scripts for almost everything involved in creating full-mesh oniontinc networks, using Debian hosts. The scripts draw on a simple configuration table with required information about all hosts in the network. The scripts specify subnets 10.101.1N.0/24 with N=0-5, which are part of the subnet 10.100.0.0/14 that ChaosVPN has allocated for American and other hackerspaces. But you can use any subnet that you like, such as something in 172.20.0.0/14 for dn42. Sent with [ProtonMail](https://protonmail.com) Secure Email.
