I just found a brand new PAGER for man: konqueror (man:/) https://imgur.com/a/F3o4VIu

heres a more recent groff implementation of it the macros: https://linux.die.net/man/7/groff_ms prob not what you're looking for, you prob want to get ahold of the orig nroff/troff files

the implication for me at least is a lot, and yeah a lot more has come to exist since so shrug still nothing like using a troff/nroff from 1984 I spose

sorry I forgot the purpose of the link was to provide nostalgia but here I go with all of the format and conversion paths... sorry :(

although I believe groff itself has the ability to just straight generate pdf

if you want to convert to pdf some of the steps involving postscript can be skipped using something like xelatex

it desperately needs it, 2c system mainly idle, but running opengl compositor, lots of alpha, etc: load average: 3.01, 2.56, 2.74

There really should be some way to accomplish this with IPFS, which imho is better suited for it given that it's multi-purpose, cloudflare has a gateway, and you can register EthDNS names for IPFS hosted content.

and it's not the fastest thing but in theory it's simple enough that you can just do something like this:

ipfs add test.asc added QmX1yKeerXb9vSYoQXcZuuw1QFTu5UxDCec4hY9htjRYE7 test.asc

and retrieve it https://cloudflare-ipfs.com/ipfs/QmX1yKeerXb9vSYoQXcZuuw1QFT...

if you have an ENS name you can access it this way: https://cloudflare-ipfs.com/ipns/atmarketplace.eth/

I want to add to that the ethereum name service, https://www.increaseo.com/eth-domains-ipfs/ could also potentially play a role in a means to efficiently and reliably distribute public keys in conjunction with IPFS? Seems worth considering at least.

I think it might be a good idea to use something like IPFS to distribute keys. Now that cloudflare seems to want to support it officially, the only exception to why they might not are the same kind of lawsuits that brought down the pirate bay but cloudflare has opted to offer content blacklisting/cache refuse in their terms of service so I'm not sure how that's going to work out, but so far since 2018 nothing seems to have changed. I'm not really sure what their takeaway is though, it must provide them some benefit otherwise it's just a waste of their money to provide a gateway service. I'm not sure how well it's going to scale once people start building on it and actually use it more.

BBS of today; peertube, mastadon, ipfs

This has been around at least since 2015 ive been watching it a bit good to see it's getting some work

Yeah I mean there's that but we're trying to do stuff that such nihilistic sentiments never could appreciate. There's a lot of truth to why these kinds of things like fips 140-2 level 3 are a thing even though yeah if you weild them foolishly they won't do you any good but I don't know. I just could never trust any of the stuff Intel marketed mostly because of the systematic poor quality of hardware accompanying their shit

Just saying if you want like fips 140-2 level 3 sec you should probably talk to the black suits instead of going to Linus tech tips

Maybe check with modern sparc or power or arm if you want hardware guarantees for always on and really secure if it's worth it to you. personally, I don't have any real experience other than what I've seen in tech specs but I'll bet at least one of them has something more competent than tcg, which ought to have been the first indication for a lot of people that x86 platforms are kind of half assed

Yeah I saw this a couple of days ago this is unsurprising other than it didn't come sooner. While everybody was booing Intel when rizon came out go figure something else is wrong with x86. I still don't think I'm gonna run out and buy a power / Talos setup, I'm not even looking to get good fpgas to run riscv. Fuck it, the thing that's gonna get you hacked is something else really lazy that you probably did.

Which would be better sex with Cthulhu or hp Lovecraft

What I wouldn't give to transgress my sexuality right now <3 let's get down to business

This is pretty cool please keep it running

Probably also just straight up docker and docker compose is another good idea, and terraform and possibly hashicorp vault are real high on the list, too. Ansible and chef and puppet are all pretty esoteric and I thought chef was great till I just got good with bash and gnu parallel

You can never go wrong with bash, you should not put secrets in 169.254.169.254 metadata and you should not have IAM profiles that have overreaching privileges. Any IAM profile that you use or whatever you use on azure or gcp you should always consider what somebody can do with it if they get access to it.

It's be nice if people didn't have to trust the government, since that always ends in failure. Like America for example, but admittedly it's a damn shame that people are not smarter than this.

I really would like to recommend go-any-proxy as well:

https://github.com/ryanchapman/go-any-proxy

It is pretty good you can masquerade it (configure it as a transparent proxy for any outbound TCP traffic and it uses HTTP CONNECT to proxies that support it to proxy the connection.) If you're looking to unwrap SSL traffic you can use sslsplit, too.

I can only speculate but I've given a lot of thought to this problem and:

1. nobody has suggested it as an alternative; nobody wants to completely get rid of the system we have now. PKI requires electronics to create and verify signatures created with the keypairs.

2. Because financial institutions do not care and it's not their prerogative. The social security administration is not responsible for people's credit reports and as far as their concerned their is no problem.

3. People are afraid to try new things and new technology and it's up to the government to see that it's done correctly. Theoretically a problem could arise from somebody making a business out of "keeping track of your private key for you" which negates the purpose entirely.

4. People are lazy, and not everybody cares and doesn't necessarily speak to the benefit of people who don't care about their credit or their identity which is why I say it should be an option.

5. If cryptography fails, then the whole thing is pointless. But, I think most people will agree if cryptography fails we will have much bigger problems.

The solution I have in mind is similar to what I've seen with "paper bitcoin wallets" where you have two QR codes: a public and a private key. Imagine a social security card with two QR codes. When you create a bank account, or when you get a state id or something you can get another set of qr codes, that have a record of signatures provided by a state department's private key or that of a financial institution along with a signature provided by your social security card. With your new set you can safely put away your social security card. The idea being, signatures can represent business and billing agreements as well as establishing an identity chain similar to how PGP's web of trust works. Anyone can have your public key, you just have to keep your private keys safe. Even if somehow you stupidly manage to screw this up, it's not that hard to start over. People lose social security cards now and they have to be re-issued. They just have to come up with the system for it and start doing it.

well not using PGP specifically, but imagine having a social security card with two QR codes on it in addition to your social security number. one of the QR codes contains a private key and the other a public key. The financial institutions and credit reporting agencies can freely access your public key and it's safe to give away. You can make signatures with your private key when it's scanned at a bank or on a phone and the signatures can be verified to be correct by your publicly available public key.

I like the idea better of making additional keypairs that have a chain of signatures back to your social security card so that you don't have to rely on it as much. It seems to me there's a lot of things that could be very workable as far as this is concern, but just to be clear I just like to use PGP as an analogy to a system that could work.

no for sure, stealing is a dick thing to do. But I like to keep my expectations reasonable. Can I reasonably expect to carelessly leave my phone at a table in a place where crime is known to happen when I know better?

I would really like to see a more modern version of the nextstep style In the same way I'm using fluxbox with my own style that reflects something a little more modern. Just need to figure out how to get proper alpha compositing for a few things. xcompmgr works fine with stuff like konsole for me, but the menu transparencies are not active in fluxbox. still looks very nice. You could do a lot with wmaker styling just get rid of that awful blue gradient and use some more modern fonts (I'm using nerdfonts for a lot) the ui toolkit is kinda blocky/bulky that's all changable though looks a little better on high-dpi
