ben_vulpes: what do you want to see next time?
ben_vulpes: nuffin.
ben_vulpes: and before you ask for logs from the wedged box -- it simply stopped writing logs. damndest thing.
ben_vulpes: the new box has been syncing unstoppedly since
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: one interesting hiccup was that when i synced in vanilla "connect to wide net" mode, this new node somehow got stuck and also i think triggered some weirdo crash/wedge on another machine of mine with a raid array of rust that had until that moment been hanging at the tip of the spear, but when run with -connect to the self-same (restarted) node a) the rust caught back up within an hour and b)
ben_vulpes: woo
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: if yr hospitality extends to me i'd love to stop in
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: gonna ship another box with the timing patch from aeons ago, sync to completion and then post
ben_vulpes: phf: well i'm flexible yet, gpg me some dates and i'll ensure to have time to say hello
ben_vulpes: unrelatedly, one of the boxes flying with me has synced with my max aggression patch atop asciilifeform's aggressive pushgetblocks has climbed to 308K in 4 days
ben_vulpes: oh and please to have machines at my domicile by the end of the month.
ben_vulpes: nothing stopping me at that other than time though
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: currently estimating 3-6u, nothing nutty
ben_vulpes: so anyone who can't get materiel to phf by takeoff may talk to me about hauling machines down south. i expect folks to cover freight, pitch in on the trip costs, and guarantee reimbursement for VAT/IVA should it be levied at the airport.
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: aha, specifics not nailed down yet
ben_vulpes: ive my hands full with servers por el bbisp but once i'm done and they're packed up i'll run the tests in ch9 but must cop at this moment to not being caught up with the series at all yet
ben_vulpes: lordy boiling frustration in ch9, diana_coman
ben_vulpes: every second in the water is a fight to stay at the surface
ben_vulpes: no notrly, /me suffers from lobbes-style sinkism
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: was watching from beyond the break?

ben_vulpes: oh man, i would really like to learn to surf
ben_vulpes: right right, that
ben_vulpes: a beer in the car!
ben_vulpes: of the esl set that is
ben_vulpes: heh i dunno that i've ever heard a couth name for the practice tbh; or any person who'd call themselves couth engaging in it
ben_vulpes: zero likelihood of interdiction with a polite babe at the wheel.
ben_vulpes: but it's great for rolling with road sodas
ben_vulpes: hahaha i fuckin know it's charming
ben_vulpes: girl is just not going to rev my shit past 4500, you know?
ben_vulpes: much like the honda babywagon i've allocated vs the three f1 engines a team's allowed in a season
ben_vulpes: points on a continuum from where i sit
ben_vulpes: this ftr is what galls me about ssds; the accelerated deterioration rate.
ben_vulpes: make 'em someone else's problem, and pay for the convenience.
ben_vulpes: heh yeah i think trinque and i have pretty similar attitudes towards how to treat machines you're going to run hard
ben_vulpes: not trying to cut you down TomServo
ben_vulpes: TomServo: i personally run machines for longevity, but i can see why mircea_popescu and BingoBoingo would want to run their lowendboxen hot and cram as much into 'em as possible.
ben_vulpes: what, they heat up, crack their pcbs, shut down. run your fans, this won't be a problem.
ben_vulpes: i ain't justifying shit, i'm saying that i'm not concerned about the health of the rack from a few hot boxes.
ben_vulpes: i
ben_vulpes: but in theory, if you want to wank over the thermofluids
ben_vulpes: well, no, we're talking like sub-1% contribution to overall cooling
ben_vulpes: thereby actually improving cooling conditions
ben_vulpes: if we don't neglect it, i'd expect entrained flow in the same direction as the convective cooling flux, eg from front of rack to back
ben_vulpes: air currents within the DC might actually ruin this, but for the sake of the gedankenexperiment, let's neglect those for now
ben_vulpes: that argon between them doesn't move; the viscosity of the gas keeps it locked in place and it acts as a superior insulator to the glass.
ben_vulpes: right, which is why your double-paned windows are so much better of an insulator
ben_vulpes: heaven help us if the machine bodies actually drive a) because someone isn't cooling adequately, and if the gap is sufficiently small (as anyone with dc experience can attest) we'll probably have "stagnation" conditions, where the air is not actually circulating between the machines
ben_vulpes: the concern is convective heat transfer between servers. for that to happen there must be a) great enough gradient of heat between the machines and b) enough space between machines for air currents to get moving
ben_vulpes: since we're doing thermofluids tonight...
ben_vulpes: i've never racked machines that squealed on insert, you?
ben_vulpes: it's not actual box-to-box conductive contact
ben_vulpes: it
ben_vulpes: intel calls that an "unplanned restart" these days lol
ben_vulpes: and heaven help the person who lets their box get hot enough to transfer heat radiantly
ben_vulpes: moreover it'd be what, mostly radiant with a bit of conductive through the air gap between servers, which can probably be approximated as stagnant and a good insulator
ben_vulpes: i know but if the convective flux is adequate there really shouldn't be that much heat conducted from machine to machine
ben_vulpes: cooked, yes, but you hoover from the aisle in the front and dump into the aisle in the back. so long as everyone's dumping out the back, nobody should be sucking exhaust gases.

ben_vulpes: suresure. what even means "a release" though, in a world where each patch now touches the changelog file. that eg ben_vulpes produces a patch that *only* touches the changelog, saying "the foundation makes of this link in the chain a checkpoint"?
ben_vulpes: yes, i do.
ben_vulpes: more of a tumor hanging off the infant's face, but yeah
