kanzuretheir new name suggestion is "counter culture abs" i don't really know why they are dropping the l.11:30
yashgarothaww man how come they get a bioengineering professor11:37
yashgarothoh wait just a postdoc nm11:37
kanzurehah. not as interesting eh?11:37
yashgarothnot quite, though considering we only have like 4 actual biologists at the SD lab, it's still good11:38
kanzurethat sucks. the ratio of biologists to non-biologists is a little out of alignment.11:40
kanzurehopefully you mean "actual biologists" and not "degreed biologists", i'll just assume it11:40
yashgaroththere's a couple more who got bio degrees but then got the fuck out of biology a long time ago, which I can't really argue with11:40
kanzurebiology degrees are really all over the map. i think you only have to take one or two lab courses to get a BS?11:41
kanzurei mean, one or two biology labs. maybe a chemistry lab.11:41
yashgarothochem lab usually, and I only did two actual biolab classes11:41
kanzureoh man. hah.11:41
yashgarothand there's plenty of people with general bio degrees, or like plant bio or something, who probably didn't need to do any of that shit11:42
kanzurei remember the standard biology lab curriculum, and it's nowhere near enough to actually get acquainted with how a lab operates and what goes down.11:42
kanzurei remember the TAs/teachers/whoever would always "set everything up", so it was ready to go for you. except setup is something you always have to do on your own in a real lab, and your setup is probably wrong, etc.11:43
kanzurewouldn't it be awesome if the lab PI would setup all the experiments and work for each day before you arrived? damn.11:43
yashgarothwell you do get 'how to use a pipette' and 'what is a beaker' but otherwise it's following the protocol, and the protocol is 'move small amounts of liquid between tubes and wait for X minutes'11:44
kanzure"I threw out your pipettes, I hope you like using your mouth for suction. That's how real scientists pipette, you lazy fuck." ok maybe not such a great idea to let the PI reign..11:44
yashgaroth'go whore yourself out on the street so we can supplement our grant money'11:45
kanzurealso, i'm still surprised that 70,000 undergrads in biology graduate each year and so few of them end up in diybio11:47
kanzurehow is that less than 0.1% have their topic of study as a hobby in their off-time?11:47
kanzureand i'm pretty sure a lot of them say they "love science", but if that was true then why is it just a job to them?11:47
yashgarothyeah it's weird11:49
kanzurehow goes operation san diego?11:50
yashgarothgot the non-carpet flooring down in most of the lab area, moved a couple hoods into the tissue culture room11:51
yashgarothhopefully the meeting tomorrow will get some more done, because all our meetings now are 2-3 hours in the evening with a 0.5-1 hour commute each way11:52
yashgarothI just want the -80 running so I can safely order anything11:53
kanzureouch. have you guys considered just using irc/jabber/teleconferencing things?11:54
yashgaroththey always complain that nothing gets done on skype, which is funny since nothing gets done at in-person meetings anyway11:54
kanzurei forget who it was that had a reputation for doing this, but it was maybe thomas edison who had a reputation for preparing before every meeting and showing up with handouts, charts, figures, and then made his proposal to everyone. since he was always the only one prepared, they often went with his suggestions and plans.11:57
yashgarothyeah but then I'd have to do all that stuff11:57
kanzurewrite three sentences down and email everyone? pfft.11:57
kanzurealthough, chances are, nobody will read it anyway.11:58
yashgarothI sure wouldn't11:58
kanzurepfft i don't believe that11:58
yashgarothI think we've been waiting for this one guy who has a bunch of equipment to bring the rest of it, that may be sunday11:58
yashgarothexcept he doesn't know what he has so apparently we can't plan until we actually have it11:59
kanzureare you sure you want the equipment, then?11:59
kanzureyou might end up owning 100s of broken thermocyclers11:59
yashgarothyeah he's brought the majority of stuff, also the freezers centrifuges hoods and such11:59
yashgarothand he will now bring all his benches and some sort of other stuff11:59

kanzure"Hey Guys, We're having another DIY biology get together this Wednesday. We think it's a good idea to meet up once in a while in order to create an active DIYbio community in Israel. This time we thought that Omri can tell us about the Glowing Plant Kickstarter project that he's a part of, and how DIYbio is an important part of projects like this. Also, I'll update on what's going on with starting the community lab and what everyone can do to ...12:06
kanzure... lend a hand. We'll be meeting this Wednesday at 19:30 at the Genome Compiler offices (Kikar Habima 2 Tel Aviv). Hope to see you all there, Aviv"12:07

kanzurewhat's weird about that gameshark commercial is that it's sort of a parody of all of the draconian anti-hacking laws, except their device is a legitimately useful hacking tool in the first place, so the parody part is sort of lost on me. as a kid i thought it was just marketing (but still sorta neat).14:17

kanzureit's interesting how non-paranoid these guys were17:23
DonnchaCMaybe they didn't really realise what they were getting into...17:25
kanzureoh i didn't know about https://github.com/grugq/portal17:30
DonnchaCYeah  hardware based protection is good.17:33
DonnchaCCould also run something similar with a raspberry pi, or firewall a VM for less protection but an easier setup17:33
DonnchaCcheck whonix17:34
kanzurea firewall isn't going to guarantee that your bytes are being routed through TOR.17:34
kanzureand a vm wouldn't either, unless i'm missing something obvoius?17:34
DonnchaCYou can iptables the VM interface to block all traffic that isn't routed through Tor17:38
DonnchaCthe iptable rules would be in the host17:38
DonnchaCthen the guest VM would have no way to find its real IP providing protection from malware in the guest etc.17:39
kanzureyou can only use iptables to drop packets from certain ports, i don't think there's an extension that lets you guarantee the pid/origin of the bytes17:39
kanzurethere might be a lxc container thing though?17:40
kanzurepaperbot: http://pss.sagepub.com/content/early/2013/05/13/095679761246641517:41

kanzure"In men of lower socioeconomic status, the correlation was reversed: stronger men were more in favor of redistribution, while men with smaller muscles were less likely to support it."17:42
DonnchaCYou can create a virtual network interface for the VM in VirtualBox or VMware and just route traffic to that interface17:42
kanzurehow do you know the pid of the origin of the bytes, though?17:44

DonnchaCYou don't need to17:55
kanzurehuh? sure you do. you want only tor traffic..17:55
DonnchaCHere are the rules used by Whonix18:06
DonnchaChttps://github.com/adrelanos/Whonix/blob/master/whonix_gateway/usr/local/bin/whonix_firewall18:06
DonnchaCIt only allows the Tor instance on the host to make external connections18:07
DonnchaCall traffic on the VM interface to allowed prots is routed to the respective socks port18:07
kanzurei don't see anything specific there except a port number, maybe you can show me what you're talking about.18:08
kanzurei see --uid-owner but that's not helpful in this context18:08
DonnchaCLines 402 and 44518:15
DonnchaCThose iptables rules and Tor instance is on the host VM18:16
kanzurethat's "iptables -t nat -A OUTPUT -m owner --uid-owner "$TOR_USER" -j RETURN"18:16
kanzure--uid-owner just means "some pid where the owner is this specific user", it doesn't mean "from this specific pid"18:16
kanzurei think that's the xt_owner extension on iptables18:16
DonnchaCYeah all traffic from guest is routed to one of the Tor socksports18:17
kanzureso your claim is that traffic from the vm is $TOR_USER ?18:17
kanzureok i misunderstood, i thought you were saying that you were hoping that only a tor pid gets bound to a port18:19
DonnchaCand then only traffic from programs running as Tor's user is allowed out on the guest VM18:19

kanzure"One solution to making link analysis harder and less useful is to create unique nodes for each connection. Done successfuly, this creates a link graph of only 2 nodes and 1 edge. In practise, this means that every connection between peers should be unique to that connection, e.g. create a new jabber identity for each associate you have. Do not share these jabber IDs between different friends. The rule is simple: 1 friend, 1 jabber ID."18:57
kanzure"These node to node links should be changed regularly as well. The old nodes must never contact the new nodes. That will contaminate them, create a link that associates them together. New clean break each time. This is intended to force the adversary to rediscover new nodes on a regular basis. Maybe next time they won’t be so lucky."18:57

fennbut isn't a pair of jabber IDs that aren't used for any other purpose "anomalous" in itself?19:14
kanzureyes, i think they are just hoping that someone isn't able to determine the master list of jabber ids for a given jabber server19:15
fenni think a lot of this is assuming that the feds are smart enough to analyze logs in the first place, which is a highly questionable assumption19:16
kanzurethey seemed to have analyzed the lulzsec irc logs19:16
fenni haven't been following the case very closely, but i thought it was mainly because they were identified by the "ringleader"19:17
fennsome kind of plea bargain because he was ph34rd for his kids' future or something19:18

fennyes, like [~aristarch@unaffiliated/aristarchus]19:32
fennthe @unaffiliated is a cloak19:33

kanzurefenn: have you ever read the cyphernomicon?19:41
kanzurehttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyphernomicon19:41
kanzure""The Cyphernomicon" is a document written by Timothy C. May in 1994 for the Cypherpunks electronic mailing list, outlining some ideas behind, and the effects of, crypto-anarchism.[1] It constitutes one of the philosophy's founding documents, advocating anonymous digital currency and electronic privacy, and touching on more esoteric topics, such as assassination markets."19:41
kanzurehttp://www.cypherpunks.to/faq/cyphernomicron/cyphernomicon.html19:41
kanzureoh wait this doesn't have the section on pseudonymity or anonymity.. weird.19:42
fennno i havent19:42
fenni read "cryptonomicon" though :P19:42
kanzurei like how they specify "electronic" mailing list.19:42
fennyeah because "email" is inappropriate slang that doesn't belong in a wikipedia article19:43
fennactually it's probably copypasted from a wired magazine article from 199619:44
kanzuremore likely nobody has agreed how to talk about mailing lists with each other.19:44
kanzureand it's stupid that marketing/spam lists are also called mailing lists.19:44
fennsome older academic types refer to the thing we know and love as a "listserv"19:46
kanzurei've observed the same, specifically in older academics. i wonder how they all agreed to call them listservs.. was the actual listserv software popular back in the day? or was it majordomo/pipermail/mailman?19:46
fenna mailing list could mean anything from a bunch of addresses in the cc line to something like a newsgroup19:46
fennhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LISTSERV apparently19:47
kanzurewith the long-period-demise of google groups there's not really anything good that is receiving developer attention19:47
fennwoah sympa is older than mailman?19:48
kanzure"In 1986, Eric Thomas developed an independent application, originally named "Revised Listserv" (also known as "Revised LISTSERV"), "19:48
kanzureok so people ran with the listserv name for other related software. maybe that explains it.19:48
kanzuregnu mailman is pretty poorly written. under the hood it is a dark place.19:49
fennthe name listserv makes sense at least.. it's a server for sending mail to a list19:49
kanzure"Through version 15.0, individual user passwords were stored in the clear, and available to users who are listed as Site Managers or "Postmasters" in the application configuration, thus allowing unethical managers, or attackers who compromise the site, to easily try to reuse the username and password on other sites. Passwords are hashed to protect against this since version 15.5, which was released in 2007."19:49
kanzure"hashed"19:50
fennit used to email you your password every month by default :(19:50
fennin plaintext, without informing you of the fact ahead of time :( :(19:50
kanzure"The current version of Majordomo is 1.94.5, released Jan. 19, 2000."19:50
kanzure"It recommends to use Perl 4.036"19:51
fenngeesh19:52
kanzure"Before Majordomo, mailing lists were maintained manually, with a list owner adding and removing participants by editing a text file. Most, however, moved to commercial mailing list hosting services, often with a stipend of $100 or more paid to the list owner by the hosting service in exchange for the transfer. Most of the hosting providers were subsequently bought out by Yahoo!, and merged into its Yahoo! Groups service."19:52
fennpeople still use majordomo19:52
kanzurei still want to believe in group email19:52
kanzurebut often i receive painfully unformatted emails with little thought put into them on recent mailing lists19:53
fennit's because gmail buries all the duplicated crap automatically by default19:53
kanzurebut so do other clients19:53
fennkids these days19:53
fennwhen will they learn the value of netiquette19:53
kanzureif you read old email archives, like extropians@gnu.csail.mit.edu or cypherpunk things, it's like reading a well currated research journal. everything is immaculately formatte and considered.19:54
kanzure*formatted19:54
kanzurebut modern interfaces just throw you into an html wysiwyg thing and if it doesn't delete the last <blockquote> sucks to be you19:54
kanzure(there are literally scenarios in the gmail composer wysiwyg thing where you can't delete leftover blockquotes)19:55
fennyeah i still haven't figured it out19:55
fenni'm constantly inserting blank lines and deleting them just to get rid of the quote marks19:55
fennanyway i use pine19:56
kanzurei feel like a good listserv would help force participants to use good formatting and put thought into messages more... somehow.19:56
kanzure"A very early version of Mailman was written by John Viega while a graduate student, who then lost his copy of the source in a hard drive crash sometime around 1998.[6] Ken Manheimer at CNRI, who was looking for a replacement for Majordomo, then took over development. When Manheimer left CNRI, Barry Warsaw took over. Version 3 has been under development since 2009, with second and third betas released in 2012.[3]"19:56
fennwe saw where that line of thining went with "al bee"... basically it just made all the new people whine more19:57
fennthinking*19:57
fenni sort of like the xkcd interestingness enforcer bot19:57
kanzurei think a good moderator is probably useful, but then participants have to care enough to get their text actually sent out.19:57
kanzurewhen i reject emails on mailing lists, i've never received a revised version.19:58

fenni'd like to think it's just a matter of expectations about email, but i've seen too much crap crap everywhere else19:59
kanzure(probably because it's too annoying on any email client ever to go back and edit a previous email; the formatting has already changed by the time you have sent it, etc.)19:59
fenneh? can't you just edit the sent copy19:59
kanzureyes and no, you can copy and paste it into a new composition box but you are going to have to fix all the formatting mistakes20:00
kanzureor you can press 'forward' on your original email, then copy it, and then discard your draft, then open a new composition box, and delete the wrapper text around your forwarded message, and then edit your original email (if you were asked to revise it)20:00
