Wed Oct 15 03:31:04 UTC 2014 <asciilifeform> PinkPosixPXE: tools that help increase entropy << what've we come to. as if the heat death of universe weren't arriving quickly enough...
Wed Oct 15 03:30:01 UTC 2014 <PinkPosixPXE> then there's tools that help increase entropy
Wed Oct 15 03:28:52 UTC 2014 <PinkPosixPXE> just trying to generate entropy
Wed Oct 15 03:27:35 UTC 2014 <PinkPosixPXE> did it time out on generating a gpg key due to lack of entropy?
Wed Oct 15 03:26:41 UTC 2014 <BingoBoingo> because apparently real Macs don't generate entropy
Wed Oct 15 03:25:29 UTC 2014 <PinkPosixPXE> BingoBoingo: I'd need more details, but essentially you can use rng-tools/rng to increase the entropy on a server. How it would be implemented for your exact use, would require more discussion.
Wed Oct 15 03:15:42 UTC 2014 <BingoBoingo> PinkPosixPXE: Know any way to seed an entropy pool in NEtBSD on MacSE/30?
Sat Oct 04 02:20:22 UTC 2014 <mircea_popescu> <decimation> indeed. The other day I was trying to find an etf or stock that didn't depend on 'bezzle' (ie usg fiat finance). I didn't succeed. << this is roughly equivalent to, "the other day, i tried to find a natural process going backwards in entropy. i didn't succeed"
Fri Oct 03 01:55:38 UTC 2014 <BingoBoingo> One can't exactly oversee entropy in the same way one oversaw order on the plantations
Wed Oct 01 19:33:08 UTC 2014 <gribble> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entropy | In thermodynamics, entropy (usual symbol S) is a measure of the number of specific ways in which a thermodynamic system may be arranged, commonly ...
Wed Oct 01 19:33:07 UTC 2014 <punkman> ;;wp entropy
Mon Sep 29 17:45:01 UTC 2014 <bounce> "security by lack of entropy" -- my, wouldn't that be useful
Mon Sep 29 17:43:53 UTC 2014 <mircea_popescu> no, by way of 1 bit of trilema contsaining 1 bit of information and so no room for this entropy cheez
Mon Sep 29 17:43:16 UTC 2014 <jurov> trilema entropy is 0 << means 1 bit of trilema text contains 0 bits of information?
Mon Sep 29 17:41:54 UTC 2014 <assbot> Logged on 22-03-2014 17:19:21; asciilifeform: incidentally, my first exposure to the problem of RNGs with inadequate entropy was by accident, at uni
Mon Sep 29 17:41:54 UTC 2014 <mircea_popescu> trilema entropy is 0
Mon Sep 29 17:39:45 UTC 2014 <jurov> dat my mind. just produced a thought "what if we measure trilema entropy? and what if it ends up being over-unity?"
Thu Sep 25 18:41:07 UTC 2014 <mircea_popescu> chetty: does security exist in nature? << yes, actually. entropy securely flows one way, and god help you if you mess with mass conservation.
Thu Sep 18 16:01:23 UTC 2014 <mircea_popescu> kakobrekla not really, cause small kid tends to paw, and clustered keys is one of the main enemies of entropy
Thu Sep 11 03:37:32 UTC 2014 <BingoBoingo> Seriously, burned rather than finish finding entropy to generate keys
