Tue Dec 29 18:22:50 UTC 2015 <mircea_popescu> punkman apparently discusses what i said about entropy. no idea.
Sat Dec 26 20:44:57 UTC 2015 <asciilifeform> hey most pc users ~still~ end up with keyboard jitter as entropy source
Mon Dec 21 21:00:50 UTC 2015 <trinque> deedbot- knows what date/time it is... did someone touch the entropy dial?
Tue Dec 15 02:25:23 UTC 2015 <asciilifeform> but what, compiler is going to insert an entropy gatherer in the build ?
Tue Dec 15 00:00:18 UTC 2015 <jurov> with their elaborate entropy management
Fri Dec 11 21:24:46 UTC 2015 <assbot> Limited Entropy Dot Com ... ( http://bit.ly/1HZ6Dfm )
Wed Dec 09 15:04:44 UTC 2015 <asciilifeform> the design of gpg rng subsystem assumes extreme entropy-starvation. this is plain as daylight from 10 minutes of reading the src.
Wed Dec 09 15:03:12 UTC 2015 <asciilifeform> gotta understand how, in a prng, the seed is the only genuine bit of entropy;
Sat Dec 05 03:41:34 UTC 2015 <PeterL> what is it going to do with the entropy it creates?
Sat Dec 05 03:31:21 UTC 2015 <asciilifeform> * with some entropy drivers, however the rndlinux driver will use
Sat Dec 05 03:31:21 UTC 2015 <asciilifeform> * want to be friendly to the scare system entropy resource. */

Sun Nov 29 17:32:10 UTC 2015 <*> ascii_field feels suitably kicked in arse by mircea_popescu re: entropy
Sun Nov 29 17:31:24 UTC 2015 <mircea_popescu> so far we're mostly finding novel ways to use up entropy we don't really have.
Sat Nov 28 17:11:34 UTC 2015 <mircea_popescu> anyway, none of this is even practical without mass cardanos, because iirc c-s consumes even more entropy than rsa.
Sun Nov 22 16:28:13 UTC 2015 <mircea_popescu> i said "clamp down in one place" not "reduce". how the fuck are you goingto reduce complexity and why aren't you moving on to entropy next!
Mon Nov 16 01:18:32 UTC 2015 <adlai> http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=16-11-2015#1324960 << 2nd in entropy to abulafia alone
Mon Nov 09 02:58:39 UTC 2015 <BingoBoingo> Seriously the two episodes which triggered this were drunk white kids who said "nigger". Fighting that is like fighting entropy. It's just going to keep happening.
