(trilema) ben_vulpes: 'tis at least a usable machine, if sw raid is so abhorrent; thought the option was worth offering. doesn't sound like you have any interest though.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: well there are 4 ssds in the machine, i can install an os to one of them and let you mount the other three however you'd like
(trilema) ben_vulpes: i deeply agree.

(trilema) ben_vulpes: diana_coman, mircea_popescu: i apologize for the hysteresis in server specs, but i failed to procure the cable i need for the high-throughput raid card in time to board tomorrow. i'm provisioning the machine reserved for your use with a software raid10 for installation this week, but you have the option to wait an uncertain amount of time for me to get the cable down to the dc and reprovision it with a much

(trilema) ben_vulpes: which is absurd for a wp, hence why i was just going to eat it
(trilema) ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: ^^
(trilema) ben_vulpes: that box is hosting both qntra and pizarro's web presence, and then on top of that it's splitting a 1u with another piece of hardware (right BingoBoingo ?), so something hilarious like .003 btc this month? i was planning to host it as a service to the republic tbh, especially since the machine it's on is running pizarro's website as well

(trilema) ben_vulpes: having worked to memorize the bot keycombos for some time now, i would particularly like it if they would respond to their names. this approach autocompletes for one and is far more easily visually diffed, for another.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu diana_coman: my mistake, the box is not raid5 compatible, it can do raid1 and raid10. is this okay and do you have a preference between the two?
(trilema) ben_vulpes: if my meatware differ didn't catch it coming out of my fingers the first time it likely won't catch it when presented with the correct version
(trilema) ben_vulpes: BingoBoingo: ah thanks
(trilema) ben_vulpes: shinohai: is this an "it works now" or "you did it wrong" sort of thing. fwiw i expect the former in the form of "it was broken because of X, i did Y to fix it, and Z to prevent it from happening again" not that you're my direct report or anything

(trilema) ben_vulpes: does invoice work in pm?
(trilema) ben_vulpes: having wallet commands would be handy, unless mircea_popescu wants to see pizarro invoices/payments in #trilema

(trilema) ben_vulpes: aight, get me a quote. gonna head out for a run
(trilema) ben_vulpes: all the fg sitting here are spoken for; did mod6 ever get a quote for the ten or so i wanted?
(trilema) ben_vulpes: how about we wait until it's online, i'll take your handshake until then
(trilema) ben_vulpes: !!invoice mircea_popescu 0.345773172 one year of http://pizarroisp.net/?p=9
(trilema) ben_vulpes: although perhaps i gotta sell it to you as i won't have a spare to fulfill that promise until the next run.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: 0.2881443 * 1.2 = .34577317 , and yes you'll have a spare
(trilema) ben_vulpes: BingoBoingo: one year
(trilema) ben_vulpes: i can give you a pretty steep discount for paying the year up front, but because i'm building out the downline i want to keep the box on the balance sheet. how about a 20% markup on the machine if you pay for the whole year?
(trilema) ben_vulpes: eg yours for the year but not purchasing the machine?
(trilema) ben_vulpes: "buy" in the sense of the amortization thread with davout from http://btcbase.org/log/?date=01-07-2013#113889 ?
(trilema) ben_vulpes: you wanna pay for a year of hardware up front and invoices for rack space as they come due?
(trilema) ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: talking about the mb/cpu combo in the abstract, imma nuke it on this machine for certainsure; will update post
(trilema) ben_vulpes: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-02-23#1785673 << makes sense, i just published the gear Pizarro has for hire immediately. i can either lease you that box *or* a vps on it :\ immediately, but i'll also be running more boxes down in the near future
(trilema) ben_vulpes bbl, sister got engaged, bubblestiem
(trilema) ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: very sensible, ty
(trilema) ben_vulpes: i've got a pretty cut-and-dried cost basis for those two machines. it'll look like an line expense for the machines and hardware, followed by a line of income for sale-of-assets matching to the satoshi, plus possibly a token fee to the foundation for assembling them.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: hey mod6 if there's demand for boxes, would you be averse to selling the machines we got for the foundation to pizarro for leasing on? we can always get another couple of machines, it's not as though the two we bought for the foundation are super important to get racked right now; i'm sure other folks might be willing to rent 'em out and that'd be a great thing for pizarro's cashflow
(trilema) ben_vulpes: i have one machine that's about to come out of the crate that i'll detail on the blog; i'd intended it for vpsen but would also be happy to lease it entire.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: not yet, still wrapping up the first courier run. when you say gearlist, you mean "machines Pizarro is buying and will lease out"?
(trilema) ben_vulpes: groovy, gracias
(trilema) ben_vulpes: trinque: can i get the pizarro website's rss feed added to deedbot?

(trilema) ben_vulpes: and ofc a non-draggable scroll bar
(trilema) ben_vulpes: there was also an ad for some kind of novel pharmacofinelyspunhydrocarbon for the sexually-active-but-wanting-to-not-catch-teh-HIV (which, excuse me darling, why are they advertising us aidsmeds on the craplet) that was 30% vertical space for ad and 70% vertical space dedicated to a slow-scroll of finetext with i shit thee not buttons that had triggerable down and up states but *did not affect the scrolling*
(trilema) ben_vulpes: god damn the whole internet is garbage. last night i was idly looking into long-term synovial fluid health (surprise: webmd is useless and all that google will return results for i wonder why) and found several webshites that while scrolling would arbitrarily jump the page an inch or so at specific points the reasoning for which i could not determine

(trilema) ben_vulpes: i worry it'll wreck a thing i value and have put some sweat into for reasons beyond my ken.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: poor word choice on my part.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: sure. i'd hate to lose your custom or his capitalization over what seems to me a trifle whose import i do not understand in the context of the isp.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: i gotta say that i do not understand the point of the candid photo request

(trilema) ben_vulpes: https://arxiv.org/abs/1802.06038 << "on a subset of 3,759 contracts which we sampled for concrete validation and manual analysis, we reproduce real exploits at a true positive rate of 89%, yielding exploits for 3,686 contracts"
(trilema) ben_vulpes: by the name of ... ?
(trilema) ben_vulpes: what brings you by, freakyfractal ?
(trilema) ben_vulpes: !!up freakyfractal
(trilema) ben_vulpes: and yes, 'tis my first round
(trilema) ben_vulpes: we'll keep it narrow for now.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: no harm in pedantry here.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: "each pay in 10 btc" threw me
(trilema) ben_vulpes: "mod6 and ben_vulpes have extended 5 BTC of The Bitcoin Foundation's capital in credit to further start-up and operating costs associated with taking over the ashes of BISP and bringing a new venture to profitability. asciilifeform will match the Foundation's capital 1-to-1. "
(trilema) ben_vulpes: anyways, i appreciate everyone's time in refining the structure.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: i'll let the other two chime in.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: well that's a doubling of extant capital commitments, but that works for me.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: pretty straightforward, actually
(trilema) ben_vulpes: mod6: i can get this drafted with plenty of time for asciilifeform to review before his evening visit
(trilema) ben_vulpes: i steal from teh best
(trilema) ben_vulpes: but needed disambiguating now.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: i hadn't disclosed that yet, at the time of purchase it seemed appropriate to disclose in the monthly
(trilema) ben_vulpes: yeah certainly. for my learnings, how did you price chet's ssw's in the early days of s.mg? by having known her forever?
(trilema) ben_vulpes: i'm actually thinking to capitalize by working on the thing; could easily eat 3.5 btc of my time in the first year alone
(trilema) ben_vulpes: it's the most important thing one can buy with bitcoins dontchaknow
(trilema) ben_vulpes: trinque: socks!
(trilema) ben_vulpes: i don't see why not
(trilema) ben_vulpes: mod6: you and i decide who to stick on it
(trilema) ben_vulpes: trinque: "knowledge descends from authority"
(trilema) ben_vulpes: mod6: i think you meant "board members" upstack, not "managers"
(trilema) ben_vulpes: trinque: i maintain that the expenditures to date have been appropriate and legitimate, but am compelled by mod6's argument that actually embroiling the foundation in the ownership of Pizarro complicates it unnecessarily
(trilema) ben_vulpes: so ftr i've disposed of 1.16578854 BTC of the foundation's capital this month; 0.8 in purchasing mircea_popescu's debt and 0.36578854 in servers owned by the foundation; so the sum to which the foundation's piggy is involved is 0.8 BTC
(trilema) ben_vulpes: it's gonna make things complicated on statements this month but i can handle that
(trilema) ben_vulpes: your public-relations work to date has been pretty valuable, for one.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: i'd rather you invest those 5 btc rather than simply give them; it doesn't make a great deal fo sense to 'give' a notionally someday-profitable entity money and furthermore i'd rather you didn't just wash your hands of the whole thing if i can convince you to stick around.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: not unreasonable, and it does clean up the ownership structure significantly.
(trilema) ben_vulpes off for several hours
(trilema) ben_vulpes: diana_coman: answered
(trilema) ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: responded
(trilema) ben_vulpes caught interrupt from real live, bbl
(trilema) ben_vulpes glad of the questions
(trilema) ben_vulpes: this is for the full contract period, mircea_popescu
(trilema) ben_vulpes: it's a rush job, friend
(trilema) ben_vulpes: try now please
(trilema) ben_vulpes: yeah, i remember that text from spelunking
(trilema) ben_vulpes: actually i betcha i do know, i had to port the comments widgetry to this theme when i mpwpd myself.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: yaok, i saw a comment earlier. no idea how it got in there.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: well, i don't quite know what you mean by "stretch capital". republic gotta have an ISP; and it should be able to turn a profit and pay the foundation back. if it fails to do that, it'll be disappointing and i'll probably resign for mismanagement. initially mod6 and i were considering taking the entire venture on through the foundation when asciilifeform offered to match.
(trilema) ben_vulpes back later, looking forward to mircea_popescu's comments
(trilema) ben_vulpes: there please
(trilema) ben_vulpes: i'd been drafting what turned into the charter from very nearly the very beginning; there's no arrangements or agreements that are not covered in the linked document.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: for a convertible note like that, how'd you go about setting the conversion rate? lots of yelling?
(trilema) ben_vulpes: (not to derail, but i've moved the Pizarro provisional charter to http://pizarroisp.net/?p=3 , comments actively sought from eg diana_coman hanbot mircea_popescu lobbes )
