BingoBoingo: asciilifeform mod6: I plan to return and SSH into the box.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: What remains are all the rails, misc unused adapters and more USB TTYLs, The Rockchip plant, a small mountain of power and network cables, the rackmount power strip, the two switches, and the following 1U servers that will need wheeled out:
BingoBoingo: TBF/Mod6, Trinque, UY1/Shared Hosting, S.NSA vacant
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: try to get the machines out. errything else after. don't break yer back tho.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: until what day exactly is the rack paid up ?
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: It should be paid up through the end of this month per my notes. Then there's + 7 business days, etc, etc per the contract.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: ok. next wheelbarrow plox to rescue trinque and mod6 . then the rest, when you can.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> BingoBoingo: try to get the machines out. errything else after. don't break yer back tho. << Three machines in one trip with wheels went well enough 4 should not be a problem. Without wheels, I am contemplating the logistics as we speak
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: the sooner you officially stop the service, the moar likely can recover sumthing from the orcs. tho , as mp pointed out, it is difficult to picture that we'll see a penny
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Next dive I want to recover mod6's data, whatever fits in the mochila that isn't the switches or power cables. Then I plan to ask for access to the door for wheels.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: bring the gurl or somebody trusted and hand-carry'em if you must.
asciilifeform: nuffin in that rack weighs moar than a roman legionary's kit. theoretically even 1 can carry.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Tonight it is too late to get the cardless girl into the building, but yes I am trying to think of something that will make the servers ergonomic enough to carry. Legionaire's kit is meant to be worn. Server meant to be densly racked. The potential to drop a chassis more than anything is what gives me pause.
asciilifeform: diana_coman: here is how FGs went in machine, if this helps. if that space aint there (and in most boxes, in asciilifeform's experience, it aint) then can only put'em by e.g. forgoing raid card and using that space. or in 5in. disk slot (which most also lack.)
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: aite. but ideally all the irons will be safely under BingoBoingo's bed tomorrow.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Ideally tomorrow they will all be in the habitation module. If recovering the boxes is hindered, THAT, the hindering, is actionable.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: seems liek already been some hindering today ?
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: if busibodies pop outta that woodwork to hinder, get'em on camera.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Latecho hasn't done any hidnering today. Just the lobby tile police.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i fully expect that when you show up to tear up the contract, they'll try to cook up some bullshit re the cage being in arrears . hence wai important to empty it.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: dun have to answer this if aint ready yet, but have you had chance to think , where BingoBoingo will go next ?
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Per the contract the cage would have to be in arrears 30 days or longer before they can suspend service, deny access, etc
asciilifeform: well, per the contract there was also gonna be a working pipe!
asciilifeform: seems that contract atm is in '1 direction' mode, american-style, where 'you owe, and we -- uhm, nuffin'
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: also you'll want to at least attempt to get that security deposit back.
asciilifeform: !Qlater tell mod6 you presently majority shareholder. asciilifeform -- minority. ( mp is owed and also rightfully has a say. ) let's discuss asap the lawsuit.
lobbesbot: asciilifeform: The operation succeeded.
ericbot: Logged on 2019-10-08 15:01:51 mp_en_viaje: ah yes, they do owe us some money, but i wasn't converted afaik.
asciilifeform: ftr asciilifeform is in favour of using as much of the remaining piggy as BingoBoingo sees fit , in taking it as far as it can be made to go.
asciilifeform: at the VERY least oughta recover the week+ of dud service + security dep.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Per my records in the months after they said to stop sending more money for a while, after MP's big incoming wire via Mocky, we spent down much of the security deposit as BTC price was low.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: what means 'much' ? i.e. all ?
BingoBoingo goes for the statement
asciilifeform: (re piggy -- dun fughet, BingoBoingo , that we also will have to issue refunds to people who had refueled and then had ??? instead of reachable boxes for week+ )
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Right, that's customer equity
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: 1538.58
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: spent ? or remains ?
asciilifeform: this re sec deposit ?
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: It's the odd balance that remains from security deposit/mega bolus going into the datacenter last fall
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: that's genuine money.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: And it is to be pursued.
asciilifeform: re customers, yes would rather give'em working boxes, but will have to be refund.
ericbot: Logged on 2018-07-24 12:38:09 asciilifeform: oblig su joak : division commander notices that maxim gun emplacement has fallen silent. he walks over , 'comrade gunner, why is your maxim silent' gunner : 'comrade lieutenant, i've run through my belt' lieutenant : 'BUT YOUR ARE A COMMUNIST!' ... the maxim promptly begins to chatter again !
mod6: <+BingoBoingo> asciilifeform mod6: I plan to return and SSH into the box. << Thanks BB!
lobbesbot: mod6: Sent 24 minutes ago: <asciilifeform> you presently majority shareholder. asciilifeform -- minority. ( mp is [http://logs.ericbenevides.com/log/trilema/2019-10-08#1942437] [owed] and also rightfully has a say. ) let's discuss asap the lawsuit.
ericbot: Logged on 2019-10-08 15:01:51 mp_en_viaje: ah yes, they do owe us some money, but i wasn't converted afaik.
BingoBoingo: mod6: If you can give me guidance on what directories you want, that will be helpful. Even downloading straight from the local switch, the whole blockchain is going to take time, and space.
mod6: <+asciilifeform> mod6: why wouldja want the raid card but not the whole box ? << Perhaps a bit premature to ask for this. Let's see if BB can get the back up completed, then will decide on whether to sell the box or have it shipped back whole, or parts.
asciilifeform: mod6: yer unlikely to get ~anyffin for it if sold in orcistan.
mod6: BingoBoingo: The directories are listed in my pgp msg.
mod6: asciilifeform: fair enough. we'll see, one step at a time.
asciilifeform: mod6: if you paid moar than coupla hundy for it, prolly worth to get it back via the post.
asciilifeform: can then colo somewhere, in the new era of 'erry man for himself' colos.
BingoBoingo: mod6: Aite, I see it now.
mod6: *thumbsup*
mod6: asciilifeform: werd.
asciilifeform: btw if anyone doesn't want his box, i'll buy it (undisked naturally) for cost of postage.
asciilifeform: i suppose oughta proper auction.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: His is not of you're preferred type of box
asciilifeform: supposing in fact someone decides to jettison a box(s) .
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: even so.
asciilifeform: orc market aint payin' squat for boxes, i suspect.
mod6: re: lawsuit, i've been following along here since the onset of this. I get the overall sense that not much may come of it, and similar to what MP was saying, would have been helpful to have some attourney long ago, as opposed to now. Especially regarding the fact that we've been getting screwed for years. A judgement might only consist of some repayment for recent month.
mod6: However, I'm not closing the door on the whole thing. We'll have to evaluate our liabilities to our customers, cash on hand, who would be owed what, etc.
asciilifeform: mod6: orc attourneys i suspect dun charge megabux. but imho worth to find what'd cost. perhaps even 1 would work on contingency, and then only costs to feed BingoBoingo .
mod6: It may not be a bad idea to look into. I just, for what its worth, have my doubts that much comes of it.
asciilifeform: mod6: i also doubt. but imho worth to at least find what'd cost .
BingoBoingo: On some level once the auditions to see if any lawyers are hungrier than present counsel are concluded, if a suit isn't feasible counsel may be necessary to cleanly send the contract to /dev/null should latecho get combative
BingoBoingo: Even though the contract nearly made it to term, it's still a liability attached to my name personally.
asciilifeform: mod6: since BingoBoingo apparently wishes to stay in uruguayistan, gotta cleanly nuke the contract.
mod6: Well, so the way I see it: On the off chance that we'd win some sort of judgement, even if the courts are expedient, and I doubt that they are; We should continue on our current path. Pay what ever we need to pay back to customers out of what we have on-hand, make shipments, what have you. Then if there is cash left over, make a decision at that time.
asciilifeform: mod6: i dun expect that postage for boxen, or 1wk of refund, will eat anywhere close to whole piggy.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I've still not had time to contemplate anywhere that might be better in the near to mid term.
asciilifeform: mod6: and the sooner contract is finished with, the moar will remain.
mod6: asciilifeform: that's decent news. but still, we should proceed with our customers needs first. then, possibly, see what we can do for Pizarro.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: dun panic. asciilifeform simply would like to apply the necessary heat so as e.g. the sec deposit dun evaporate .
asciilifeform: i agree re mod6's '1st evacuate boxen'.
BingoBoingo: Now, one thing we do need is some sort of ftp server we can use to get shared hosting customers GPG'd tarballs with their files and databases
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i'd offer to host , but, lol, haven't where
BingoBoingo: I imagine RockChip customers as well may need some files
asciilifeform: if no one comes up with where, i'ma get hold of a cheap heathen thing, they're gpgballs, ought not matter where to put.
asciilifeform: mod6: currently i'm thinking, we do not need 'liquidator' a la bbet. we, ourselves, can properly play the orchestra as the ship goes down.
BingoBoingo: On the plus side we do have everyone's ssh pubkeys so we don't have to put up for all comers even though GPG'd
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i'd rather not put those on a heathen hoster, but let's ask the affected folx 1st.
mod6: asciilifeform: Well, that ~might~ be true. We ought to proceed though with careful steps to ensure we don't overlook something; we need to ensure that everyone is settled correctly, accurately. Having some oversight from mircea_popescu on this will be good.
asciilifeform: seems like the only 1 who hasn't yet come up for air is trinque .
asciilifeform: mod6: mp has been providing a++ guru meditation. i expect will say moar.
mod6: for sure, glad he's been able to give his guidence.
asciilifeform: and yes errybody is to get back 1) data 2) coin 3) iron, in that order.
mod6: i'd say that's the correct approach.
asciilifeform: fwiw asciilifeform had a heathen isp close on him 2y ago. had no (3) personally owned in it, but never saw an lick of (1) or (2) .
asciilifeform: we are to set a proper standard, imho, for seppuku.
mod6: the latter half of that previous line didn't quite parse for me. care to expand on that a bit?
asciilifeform: mod6: clean unwind is sumthing the heathens dun know how.
asciilifeform: they tend to leave disgusting messes.
mod6: ah, gotcha. but 3 people, or 3 boxen?
asciilifeform: (3) i.e. irons
mod6: ah, i see.
asciilifeform: it was a leased irons isp rather than colo
asciilifeform: dc was bought out (presumably 'to make netflix cache' tho i dun specifically know its fate) and all subscribers hung to dry.
mod6: ugh. :/
mod6: One sec, brb.
mod6: aight.
asciilifeform: mod6: it presently seems that we do not disagree .
mod6: yeah, seems like we're on the same page.
mod6: was just looking for trinque's last transmission. seems like it was the 4th.
asciilifeform: but, mod6 , if at any point you find that you take a difference to asciilifeform's method of conducting the orchestra plox to asap say .
ericbot: Logged on 2019-10-07 20:22:43 asciilifeform: asciilifeform, otoh, did the equiv of when folx w/ no medical education attempt a tracheotomy on choking patient. cuz nobody else was about to.
asciilifeform: !o seen-anywhere trinque
ossabot: trinque last seen in #trilema on 2019-10-03 22:53:34: sorry for the gagged deedbot meanwhile; that outage caught me in the middle of a multi-channel experiment
asciilifeform: ^ indeed
asciilifeform: hopefully comes in soon .
asciilifeform: ( 3rd, 4th, whothefuck knows what the clock's set to on any of these )
mod6: asciilifeform: will do. i think when '1,2,3' (above) are done, we can re-visit and see what makes sense.
asciilifeform: ty mod6 .
mod6: and, yah, maybe we ought to send him an email?
asciilifeform: mod6: i expect he'll come back from sea or wherever he is before week is out, seems to do so regularly nowadays.
mod6: fair enough.
asciilifeform: mod6: unrelatedly, were you able to make contact with ben_vulpes at all ?
mod6: He asked us to leave him dead, so I've been respecting that. Until like 3 minutes ago. I just tried to poke him re: trinque.
asciilifeform: mod6: this is problem. per charter .
mod6: If/when I get a chance to discuss tbf with him, I'll see what he has to say. But my guess is he'd probably just like us to replace him as needed.
asciilifeform: incidentally i dun agree w/ mp's verdict that tbf is somehow broken (aside from 1 of the 2 chairs having gone awol.) charter reads, clearly, 'This charter establishes the existence of a virtual organization whose mission is to maintain the Bitcoin reference implementation.' this was carried out .
mod6: We'll really need to discuss the whole thing at length too. It's not yet fully determined what'll happen to tbf. But mircea_popescu has thrown out a few ideas. I doubt I'll be involved in whatever comes next for it though.
asciilifeform: there is nuffin in the charter regarding e.g. carrying out propaganda, or even the building of noades. (tho both imho are Right Thing)
asciilifeform: mod6: why not want to be involved ?
asciilifeform: maybe i'm alone in this, but i don't hold against mod6 that he was breaking his back in a salt mine.
mod6: Well, correct, I've stated that I think I've done the duty as spelled out in the Charter. It's well impressed on me that tbf needs new direction and new blood.
asciilifeform: nao asciilifeform is no one in tbf. but will be sad if it comes to be the case that there is no tbf to fund emplacements of noades, curation of the ref. trb (incl. mod6's very fine build system) .
asciilifeform: imho these are the fundamentals, without which all other adventures pertaining to trb (e.g. propaganda) are meaningless.
BingoBoingo to the basement on the mod6 mission
mod6: I would like to see trb carry-on indeed. Now, perhaps, more than ever, is needed as a check against wild shitcoiners out there.
mod6: BingoBoingo: cheers!
asciilifeform: mod6: imho it is only because we have trb, that other meaningful work has what to breathe.
mod6: But alas, The Foundation has some greater goals than simply trb itself. TRB can be one facet of this, but new blood will need to take the ship in a direction of outreach.
asciilifeform: mod6: new blood imho ought to then amend the charter.
mod6: I agree, there should be a new one drawn up for whomever should take the helm.
asciilifeform: ( maybe only i take these seriously ? but imho such documents ought to represent reality )
mod6: For me, I won't have a fief to preside over, but maybe I'll still submit trb related work.
asciilifeform: mod6: i'ma submit for so long as anyone cares to read.
asciilifeform: mod6: for instance, i have a gnatistic o(1) block db thing, that's a gnat bugfix away from battle tests.
mod6: I have a whole list of things I wanna do; actually. Like, finally spend the time I need on all things FFA.
asciilifeform: mod6: as i understand you recently escaped gulag. so perhaps nao can do.
asciilifeform: mod6: if you start to study ffa, dun hesitate to ask asciilifeform to help as you go in.
mod6: There is a lot of work re: trb that does need to be done too. Another thing that was nagging at me... if we're to have a "university", we also need materials. And technical materials can be 'trb' coad itself; however, it might be cool to have an annotated source.
mod6: Maybe even in book form some day.
asciilifeform himself 'studying ffa' , load it again into head !
ossabot: Logged on 2019-10-08 17:45:48 asciilifeform: lobbes: speaking strictly for self -- 'quick' jobs are quick because they (incl. 'fit problem in head' phase) can be fit into a single slot in b/w salt mine idjicies. whereas things large enuff as not fit, much moar friction. (erry time must load it in... again, again, ... )
mod6: Not committed or married to the idea, but I've been trying to think about what I might want to spend my time on.
asciilifeform: mod6: annotation of trb is a+++ Right Thing imho.
asciilifeform: esp. in such a way as to produce a spec that can then be worked from.
asciilifeform: the heathens sorta tried to do this, but in the usual heathen way simply shat in their pants.
mod6: Yeah, for TRB/TRBi to improve, or take form, one needs to fully comprehend what it is we have, this thing called 'bitcoin'.
mod6: Materials for study are necessary, and the logs yield quite a tale, but something consolidated would help.
asciilifeform: mod6: i dare to say that no one 100% comprehends (not the protocol per se, i comprehend) but the entire behaviour space of the proggy per se.
mod6: I would agree with you on that. In this chamber, I do find quite a depth of knowledge. It is, however, spread across a handful of people.
asciilifeform: to take 1 example, is there a max reorg depth that still worx as expected ?
asciilifeform: no one presently knows afaik.
mod6: Right, it's a old question, and a good one.
mod6: Lot's of questions need to be asked such as this, and their answers, ugly or not, need to be found.
asciilifeform: or, to take another, what will happen if a 'nonfinal' tx is again mined ?
asciilifeform: or... i've a bunch of these.
mod6: lol, werd. it's all important, indeed.
asciilifeform: mod6: importantly, tho, most of this horror aint relevant to 'trbi'
mod6: Heck, write 'em down and post 'em for future review.
asciilifeform: is only relevant to people who want to build trb-compat. mechanism from ground.
asciilifeform: for this, the biggest afaik hole in what is known, is how the idjit ssl-guts crypto stack operates.
asciilifeform: even the 'der' parser, i presently have nfi how worx.
mod6: yeah, it's a shitshow
asciilifeform: but again this is only interesting if one's building a '100% trb-compat' in e.g. ada.
asciilifeform: for a novel 'trbi' is entirely uninteresting what or how did fucking openssl.
mod6: <+asciilifeform> mod6: if you start to study ffa, dun hesitate to ask asciilifeform to help as you go in. << will do!
asciilifeform: mod6: incidentally imho diana_coman 1) understands it about as well as asciilifeform 2) is a+++ pedagogue .
mod6: Yeah, she's pretty deep into the chapters iirc.
asciilifeform: i do not know whether diana_coman is still taking people into her school, but for a ffa n00b it is imho a very desirable school.
asciilifeform: mod6: diana_coman has eaten all of the material to date.
mod6: Ah! Tight.
mod6: Also, told bv to tap trinque on the shoulder.
mod6: And mentioned that if he wants to, he can stop by for a nomination to the co-chair.
asciilifeform: perhaps he still has a pulse, might answer.
mod6: We'll see
asciilifeform: but even if not answers, no pulse, 'the spice must flow'(tm)
mod6: THE SPICE MUST FLOW
mod6: I'm totally in the middle of Dune.
mod6: Was previously actually looking for a Kynes quote...
asciilifeform: imho it was a much better 'have-read' world to play in head with, than 'to-read' per se, 1 of those.
mod6: "'To the working planetologist, his most important tool is human beings,' his father said. 'You must cultivate ecological literacy among the people.'"
mod6: This I've sort-of applied to the sense that for actual humans, which we can sift-the-sand for, tbf/tmsr can cultivate bitcoin literacy.
asciilifeform: mod6: imho this , important -- what good is 'ref impl.' if no one understands it, or why even exists. i dun actually disagree w/ mp re 'needs public tentacles'.
mod6: *nod*
mod6: one sec, brb.
asciilifeform: but imho if actually maintaining the proggy dun come 1st, then what may end with is item resembling the pseudofoundation, which has lengthy tentacles but 0 grasp of the orig. item (not even enuff grasp to do seriously complex evil, for the most part.)
mod6: Both are important, ofc.
ericbot: Logged on 2019-09-09 14:59:45 asciilifeform: vintage illustration .
lobbes: http://logs.ericbenevides.com/log/trilema/2019-10-09#1942833 << btw, I've snagged another leased server from some singapore heathen hoster. Once they provision the thing and give login info then auctionbot will live again. However, if it is desperately needed in the meantime I can slap it up on the usg hoster as a stop-gap measure
ericbot: Logged on 2019-10-09 00:05:43 asciilifeform: i suppose oughta proper auction.
asciilifeform: neato lobbes
asciilifeform: lobbes: afaik auctionbot contains no seekritz (other than fleanode pw for itself) so in principle could live ~anywhere
mod6: Alright folks, I gotta get some meat going here. But I'll be checking back if you need me. Otherwise, will be back around tomorrow.
asciilifeform: goodnight mod6
mod6: o7
asciilifeform will bbl, also meat.
lobbes: enjoy the meats fellas
lobbes: asciilifeform: main reason for not wanting to host it on usg box is mainly because logger is also running on there and a) don't want too many eggs in one basket and b) don't want too many things interfacing with same postgres database (since actionbot is on top of logbot which also logs every line, and I dunno if this will slow things down or what. I like the idea of segregating them in this sense)
lobbes: And the rest of my boxen are VPSen, which just suck in general for most things
lobbes: http://logs.ericbenevides.com/log/trilema/2019-10-09#1942856 << in my case, I *think* I have all the backups I need. I had the presence of mind to run my backup script of auctionbot data and blog dump when I logged in for final time. There is always a chance I forgot something or dump is corrupt, etc. Will find out in the coming days once heathen replacement comes online
ericbot: Logged on 2019-10-09 00:14:42 BingoBoingo: I imagine RockChip customers as well may need some files
trinque: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-10-08#1942955 << still very much alive, and have been following along.
ossabot: Logged on 2019-10-08 22:19:09 mod6: Also, told bv to tap trinque on the shoulder.
trinque: if indeed we're scuttling piz, BingoBoingo may have the hardware I sent on bv's run as a gift.
trinque: it can be sold, scrapped, w/e makes sense.
trinque: I'd like a final backup of my uy1 web dir, blog and w/e else is in there.
trinque: I can arrange to have an sftp destination for the contents.
trinque: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-10-05#1940717 << I never noticed I was depressed from the lack until the lack was satisfied for the first time. I think this is general wisdom.
ossabot: Logged on 2019-10-05 14:34:28 BingoBoingo: Trinque's recent post had me reevaluating the dietary situation and adjusting. I'd been taking it for granted Milk is rich in Vitamin D, etc only to discover... The locals throw some folic acid in flour y Ya! After making some dietary adjustments the last few weeks of winter were less "blah" burdened than te preceeding.
trinque: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-10-08#1942747 << yep, I pulled in the stylesheet from my blog on several other items. I'll get it backed out if I can't get the latest copy of my blog soon.

ossabot: Logged on 2019-10-08 05:53:12 mp_en_viaje: 2. do you want another employee ? he's hardworking and learns fast if not particularly well versed right now ; some kind of apprenticeship is probably on the table.
BingoBoingo: Rest of the usb-ttyls out along with misc adapters
asciilifeform: ty BingoBoingo . and wb trinque
trinque: evening asciilifeform
BingoBoingo: Evening trinque
trinque: hey BingoBoingo, how are you holding up?
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: trinque's box contains FG. look up whether personal ( in which case must be posted to him ) or piz's plox
BingoBoingo: trinque: Not as bad as Sunday. It's a different stress, but its been a fairly productive stress.
trinque: I've been part of plenty of failed business ventures, know the burn.
ericbot: Logged on 2019-10-08 00:14:17 asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: before piz lost shirt twice. so far most of what learned is 'electrified fence around zone, hurts' )
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Will do the lookup. That information's going to be in what survives of the ancient GPGmessNotes
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Will do that lookup however, later
asciilifeform: ty BingoBoingo . can also look up by what his price was, if it's == colo + fg, then was our fg.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: plz sleep, aha
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: He's been billed straight colo. His FUCKGOATS
trinque: I wouldn't mind having the fg when it can be arranged, actually.
asciilifeform: aha ha. then trinque plox to gpg re where it wants to live.
trinque: the rest isn't worth the cost of shipping out
asciilifeform: then to auctionblock re the rest of it. but fg to trinque .
trinque: drives kind of suspect after any deployment, etc
trinque: ty, will do
asciilifeform: trinque: want disks cremated ?
asciilifeform: there's a crematory list
trinque: can, or trashed. I don't tend to put sensitive items on webservers.
BingoBoingo: !Qlater tell mod6 http://paste.deedbot.org/?id=8O_Y << Notes on the recovery
lobbesbot: BingoBoingo: The operation succeeded.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: He's got two crematory type disks and to spinning rusts along with a spare spinning rust
asciilifeform: ok trinque . then dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/... and iron auctions. ( after all else finish )
trinque: blog tarball can be had? eta?
asciilifeform: trinque: BingoBoingo spent day w/ wheelbarrow to remove irons from meltdown zone, i expect soon will have tarballs.
trinque: cool, thanks BingoBoingo
BingoBoingo: trinque: working on a place to put tarballs. If you have a place you want me to sftp it, I can GPGgram my ssh pubkey
trinque: how much space do you need for the whole drop?
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: This little machine will take time to produce the tarballs.

mp_en_viaje: it did not work for the original latino whores ; it did not work for dpb, "oh, ima call myself a republican but really, what i'm interested in is remarkably stupid sterlie shit". not worked for phf idem exactly, and will not work fucking generally.
mp_en_viaje: so the discussion will absolutely be carried in terms of "is this generating value for nsa shareholders", not "will mp be persuaded".
mp_en_viaje: what value does it generate ? is it a good deal for nsa, to trade half a bitcoin for a coupla used dc machines, even leaving aside how these eminently constitute what asciilifeform knows to be called "surplus", through the process he oft described in logs of buying stuff for pennies ?
mp_en_viaje: more importantly, what the fuck, we paid DC prices to rent machines so that pizarro could have a book, now we also buy them back so pizarro doesn't have a downside ? what the fuck is this, training for failure ?
mp_en_viaje: this is why renting costs more than ownership, precisely and specifically this : that the owner's stuck with the risks of owning.

BingoBoingo: But, the day to get out of Uruguay is not today, or tomorrow, or this week.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: but not 'next year' or there'll be no one to evacuate, BingoBoingo .
asciilifeform: there'll be a BingoBoingo-shaped shell.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: mp for instance seems to think that asciilifeform -- already a shell. and i'm not even 100% certain that he's wrong.

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i dun expect that you'll listen, but imho you oughta pick a coordinate from mp's globe and take that evacuation, as soon as the reactor's properly quenched.
asciilifeform: and ~there~ can look for work.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Picking a coordinate on a timeline spec'd with "as soon as" seems like a rush if the circumstances aren't forcing it.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: you'll be selling own coin to eat soon. so best not to delay.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: pretty interesting thread tho, aint it ? we make 2y of isp from a crumpled wad mp threw in the trash, and we're all 'autistic castrato bois'
BingoBoingo: The last thing I want to do is pick a spot on the globe and go there with even less of idea of "Wat do" than was present when I picked Uruguay.
asciilifeform: the BingoBoingo of 2y ago would not have said this, tho !
BingoBoingo: But his description of the childhood, it seemed to hit the mark.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i won't repeat again, to keep up snr, but get outta there while you can. the atmosphere already eating you at the edges.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: 2 years ago I was in the zone. Now I am out of the zone in an area populated by one kind of tard.
BingoBoingo: MP's informative tour writeups suggest all the world is mostly populated by tards of some sort.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: maybe at some pt he'll turn up that shangri-la that's populated by Actual People, i.e. mp-grade, and we can all go 'slice lengthwise' .
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: If everyone clusters in the same hole, however nice, there will still be colorrevolution tards. Them's the brakes.
BingoBoingo: And speaking with other small business folks on the Monday lawyer/networking walk suggests Uruguay may see a cascaded of non-farm business failures in near future. This may or may not be an interesting watch.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i dun expect that he'll find it tho. cuz he's trapped on this hell planet where there's 1 actual-person and 1e10 tards.
mp_en_viaje: lobbes, i don't need it, nor want it, nor does it help anything.
mp_en_viaje: what i need, and want, and would help plenty, would be more competent people who can AND DO solve the relevant problems.
mp_en_viaje: such that for instance, when i say "well, convert your namecheap membership into an irc bot, and open it to the republic then", people don't go "omfg mp, what unthinkable thing, let me spend now 6 years '''meditating''' in my wankastery".
mp_en_viaje: but you deliver it in a fortnight and then i can hang everyone who doesn't similarly, for being a wayward dick-in-hands.
mp_en_viaje: and presto, solution to pantsuit websitization and accountization in hand.

mp_en_viaje: you saved them.
asciilifeform: damn, i did ?!
mp_en_viaje: you did.
asciilifeform didn't know.
mp_en_viaje: good thing you asked then.
asciilifeform: perhaps some of'em will return the favour..
mp_en_viaje: well for one BingoBoingo selflessly saved everyone from having to confront the "wtf are you doing" thing for a year or two.
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: not necessarily a win. perhaps we oughta have sank long ago.
mp_en_viaje: but yes, the whole fucking concept's that perhaps pooling salvation might work.
mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform, this is so.
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: ftr i dun think yer wrong, that we're all charlatans. if i knew where the 'competent people who solve problems' live, would show to mp_en_viaje , and go off to the bar where phf is working on his cirrhosis .
mp_en_viaje: why does it always have to be someone else ?
mp_en_viaje: don't tell me "priests", please, for love of my sides.
asciilifeform: screw priests, i've a whole pope on the line here
asciilifeform: well for instance i reloaded recently into head, latin, so could read mp_en_viaje's .
mp_en_viaje: and i fixed some ru verse. this is like complaining about chocolate.
asciilifeform: i aint got complaint.
mp_en_viaje: but im just saying, gotta stretch the mind, can't always to the same shape

mp_en_viaje: however, sex tapes are worth minwage, and only because that's what minwage means (in socialism), the arbitrary value of hour of sweat
mp_en_viaje: (its value, incidentally, is positive also because of the market effect -- if retard was there doing that therefore was not somewhere else doing something else, and the value of the spurious man not hindering the actual humans is positive always.
mp_en_viaje: in this sense, minimum wage is a substitute for the capital cost of having the moron shot.
mp_en_viaje: now, to continue the analogy -- certain people prefer certain people's sex tapes, very drastically, in that will buy no others.
mp_en_viaje: but the market still is what the market is -- unless you can convince ~a whole group~ to apply the above algo, you've got nothing. hence the importance of outreach.
mp_en_viaje: which sums up to, there are TWO key ingredients in getting paid. work that not many can do ~and that many want~.
mp_en_viaje: work that not many can do that not many want is exactly the stupid girl trap. alf's highly dramatized whinings about tin soldiers aside, i'd very much like to protect my household, however construed, from such wasteful fate.
mp_en_viaje: which is both why a) my girls, while required to perfrom ~just as well as whores~ nevertheless aren't on sale with the other whores and b) i don't see the wisdom in trained-monkey-alf-business.
mp_en_viaje: consider also that, as far as anyone knew, working pizarro was ~only avenue of resolving the "by large group" issue. yes, if pizarro became 2020s digitalocean, then surely the demand on alf-sealed hw would have become such that alf... what ?
mp_en_viaje: if then million people want your hand-made linzer torte / apfelstrudel / whatever, what do you do ?
mp_en_viaje: all the strudel in austria and bavaria was SHAITE incomprehensible. it was called that, it came from there, it was not worth the eating.
mp_en_viaje: because obviously, how the fuck are they gonna mass-market the definitive lordly product, strudel existed back in the day when the consumers were few, not many.

mp_en_viaje: otherwise, if you two(/three, whatevs) decide you absolutely not want to sell boxes locally (preferably after having considered the matter, rather than some inept guesswork in the blind), sna can take gear in lieu of cash, but not at arbitrary rates of nonsense.
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: i've no opposition to sale of gear to locals, to martians, to trump, wherever. 1st would have to find out who wants to keep his gear tho, and who -- instead jettison, and ask for coin (and if so at what weight of coin to gear.)
mp_en_viaje: the only reason i'd prefer not to is that it'll then go on the nsa books ; and the reason i don't really want to do THAT is not that it costs me anything to keep copy/pasting a line over the however many reports ;
mp_en_viaje: but the full expectation that it'll just sit there as an elevator button for alf to cut his arm into later, where he won't have them or who the fuck knows what happens.

ericbot: Logged on 2019-10-09 16:15:10 mp_en_viaje: pretty sure i currently have over 10sqft of storage taken up by assorted nsa/etc detritus in cr as it stands, maybe a buncha pogos ?
mp_en_viaje: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-10-09#1943548 << what "nao" ? i'm asking him retrospectively, so as to try an' make sure no droplet of experience elixir he fucking paid for gets lost on the sands.
ossabot: Logged on 2019-10-09 13:24:39 asciilifeform: at this pt the retardation of uruguay seems to be a bottomless blackn hole. if we couldn't fill it then, why to think that can fill it nao ?
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: re other-people's gear -- aint exactly, as you suggested, 'interchangeable sex tape that can be made with any tard', see e.g. 1, 2 .
ericbot: Logged on 2019-10-08 21:38:21 asciilifeform: diana_coman: know that not in erry box can one even put FG, even if orc willing to open it -- needs a pad of space. asciilifeform deliberately chose such boxes as had this space.
ericbot: Logged on 2019-10-08 23:21:49 asciilifeform: diana_coman: here is how FGs went in machine, if this helps. if that space aint there (and in most boxes, in asciilifeform's experience, it aint) then can only put'em by e.g. forgoing raid card and using that space. or in 5in. disk slot (which most also lack.)
mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform, i suspect you're missing the finer point here.
asciilifeform: aint 'phd' either. but not quite 'buy from any flea market, wtf, phd assembly line, derp'
mp_en_viaje: yes, angela mcspeshulface's sex tape can only be made by angela mcspeshulface.
asciilifeform: but for what need angela, monica worx same ?
mp_en_viaje: and yes, people who are into her face can only be satisfied by her
mp_en_viaje: but because they who are so requiring ARE FEW, the aggregating effects of mass market STILL apply.
BingoBoingo gets that a point that seems to be datacenter tech'ing is the one of the few things for which Republic needs meat soldier
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: indeed they do
mp_en_viaje: BingoBoingo, wasn't what i was saying here.
mp_en_viaje: i think ~for you, personally~, such as you are and irrespective of outside considerations, dc tech may be the best career path.
mp_en_viaje: i can go into detail if you wish
asciilifeform: it beats rabbit farming , imho
BingoBoingo: If you go into detail I will appreciate and read.
mp_en_viaje: alright, let's see.
mp_en_viaje: the difference between dc tech and barrista is that dc tech MUST show up EVERY TIME. can't hit the snooze. is rather like surgeon in this respect. this -- you do.
mp_en_viaje: the difference between dc tech and oncologist is that what dc tech must know is 1/100 the volume. very similar sort of inexpressible minutia, but not requires 15+ years of direct practice. bright student can catch up in 6 to 9 mo
mp_en_viaje: the difference between dc tech and platoonleader is that dc tech need not situational awareness, possibly your weakest spot. has a boss, who tells him exactly what to do EACH time all the time no exceptions forever.
mp_en_viaje: these for the positive. for the negative, you managed to live in dc without hamhandling any cables / runing things with hooves / etc.
mp_en_viaje: this is pretty much the whole bar. i can think of no other professional line where this particular mix of dedication, greenishness and blindsidedness is equally adequate. and certainly of no better paying one.
BingoBoingo: mp_en_viaje: Thank you
mp_en_viaje: the only other similar thing is trucking, but imo that's poison for you, because too many people do it so it's been well colonized by specific preditors that are effectual enough.
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: gotta ask, why couldn't he, e.g. fix motorcycles ? also work for good hands, and unlike salaried tech ( asciilifeform did a 2y+ tour of duty as just-this when was starving ) open-ended vol. of biz
mp_en_viaje: because he'll make some idiot friends and start doing stupid shit instead.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Motorcycles are a dying niche on the high end. Low end is all products of india.
BingoBoingo: Also that
asciilifeform: but won't make idjit friends in a dc ?
mp_en_viaje: won't make any, i don't expect.
asciilifeform pictures BingoBoingo conscripted into latech
mp_en_viaje: the ONE important thing is to latch on a dc that's run by a guy, quite like that mivo dude, and not by a retarded ugiistanism, "corporation"
asciilifeform: btw is it known that maxim of mivo actually runs the dc ?
mp_en_viaje: makes little diff, just the personality signature's right. like that douchebag dood or w/e, if trinque ran a dc i'd pack you tonight.
asciilifeform: re 'run by a guy' -- these dun seem to exist in uy
mp_en_viaje: well, if they did was his job to find on your/my dime prior, in any case.
asciilifeform: it was !
asciilifeform: fwiw i'm satisfied that there's moar buried nazi gold to be found in uy than dc-run-by-guy but if mp_en_viaje not convinced , i haven't a counter
mp_en_viaje: i believe.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: By all appearances Latecho can't pay Uruguayos, and I did make their surviving sales and telecom managers pale this week. Guy seems to have gone oldgendered coverting Latecho to low investment netflix box pension
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i strongly suspect that that dc got 'colour revolution'-d but this not directly pertinent to thrd.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: imho mp_en_viaje has strong point.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje has sold me that datacenter tech is probably best career for me as I am today. Next obstacle is does any datacenter have the brains to take mp_en_viaje's recommendation with the necessary gravity.
asciilifeform: but afaik, you can't do this in uy.
mp_en_viaje: in any case, i can appreciate your wanting to stay, but it is possible uruguay not very good spot for you. could alternatively build that list of ixp's, start emailing cvs to all of them asking for employment. if get one, just tell the girl to come, odds are she will.
mp_en_viaje: vancouver is cold, but the pay's also better than whatever uruguay has to offer. rents&cost of living also higher, but odds are she doesn't comprehend that.
BingoBoingo: mp_en_viaje: Right. asciilifeform: The place to be emailing ISPs would be Uruguay or WTF? Imma pack twice?
mp_en_viaje: you can mail from your current chair, what's the impediment
asciilifeform: afaik the only ixp in uy is antel. but mp_en_viaje has it
mp_en_viaje: can also be frank with them, "look, i came to uy to get isp going, worked ok for 3 years, dc died from under us, i got a girl and must relocate asap"
mp_en_viaje: you'll get a lowball offer which you take and then pivot later.
BingoBoingo: <mp_en_viaje> you can mail from your current chair, what's the impediment << Just trying to squash the earlier "evac nao" hysterics
mp_en_viaje: "fuck you guise, i;m otta here" is for the sort of mobster-looking dude with a 10k usd brick in a steel clip in his pocket and iron packing escort grinning from over his shoulders.
mp_en_viaje: you'd better plan your jumps.
BingoBoingo: Indeed
mp_en_viaje: unless your style is "go to that store, bring me one of everything", "get in the car, we're going" isn't the way to go.
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: possibly asciilifeform has simplistic model of BingoBoingo -- i.e. ' BingoBoingo -- parachutist. what's a 2nd, 3rd, ..., jump, to parachutist !'
mp_en_viaje: let's call it simplistic and leave it at that.
asciilifeform: http://logs.ericbenevides.com/log/trilema/2019-10-09#1943410 << before this escapes -- imho this is Right Thing
ericbot: Logged on 2019-10-09 15:17:51 mp_en_viaje: i guess we're gonna have to get a "all v-trees everywhere" program going systematically
mp_en_viaje: (to clarify : build ipx list, because it lists live active dc/isp operatoons. you're not likely to get to work for the ixp directly as these are usually ~foundations, nonprofits)
BingoBoingo: Working parachutist generally doesn't jump without some sorta plan.
BingoBoingo: mp_en_viaje: Right, gotta map the space and then fire the marketing payload.
mp_en_viaje: right.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: didn't propose 'spin globe randomly' but approx what mp_en_viaje in fact gave .
ericbot: Logged on 2019-10-09 14:33:39 asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i dun expect that you'll listen, but imho you oughta pick a coordinate from mp's globe and take that evacuation, as soon as the reactor's properly quenched.
mp_en_viaje: amusingly, a very remedial sort of exercise anyway.
BingoBoingo: lol, right
mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform, prolly will have to be an extension of logger bots, where they also act as vpatch registrers
mp_en_viaje: ~similar to deed thing

mp_en_viaje: people, generally, ineptly failing to make ~good~ websites back in 2001 meant, necessarily, that the space'll eventually be taken up by "platforms". foss retards failing to make useful software back in 2006 meant, necessarily, that the space'll eventually be taken up by ubuntus. similarly with dcs, the "vibrant market" for many independent people's boxes is being eaten by netflix in the wake of googleamazon ops, and has been.

mp_en_viaje: wait for long enough, there will not be any fucking place to isp at, either.
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: yer right tho
mp_en_viaje: because this is what the socialist golum does : at first it is taken aback by new open field, "who knows, this could be ANYTHING". but then it starts weighing, and soon enough discovers a 1-2% cut of the field which "satisfies" 80% or so of the usage
mp_en_viaje: and when that happens, the field's fucked. permanently.
asciilifeform: !o s good cakes are
mp_en_viaje: entrenching resistence to this only works if yo uwork it -- there's eg excellent cheese available today (but only in yurp -- and trump banned, also, as part and parcel of PRACTICAL governance, because the wal doesn't matter but the fact ustards have ~noyhing to offer in counterparty for the fine euro cheese DOES matter)
mp_en_viaje: there exist good cheeses now because (mostly french) many anon farmers produced the structure to protect them.
mp_en_viaje: this wasn't A LOT of work, nor that hard to do. but it HAD TO BE DONE.
mp_en_viaje: there's not going to be eg computing, because "intelligent" bois of 0 value aren't any match for 1970s french farmers.
mp_en_viaje: i'm not making this shit up because i hate you. it's pre-made, and waiting.
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: ftr i wasn't under the impression that you were.
mp_en_viaje: so no, i couldn't give less of a shit as things stand right now if ffa is "properly completed" or not ; nor if "more material" is made available as unqualified scribbles on trb code.
mp_en_viaje: what i give a shit about is the things i keep yelling about.
mp_en_viaje: again -- not because i hate you, but because things are what they are.
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: orig. asciilifeform's counter to 'internet is disappearing' was 'let's make mp_en_viaje's gossipd'. but then, like idjit, went to try an' make isp purse from sow ear.
mp_en_viaje: this is not correct summary.
mp_en_viaje: correct summary was, "alf thought he came up with solution that avoids work ; mp pointed out to not do that ; alf tried to avoid work while doing thing closer to actual solution, and succeeded -- at avoiding work"
asciilifeform: there's no way to avoid work.
mp_en_viaje: no amount of "we finely carved this clump of gpg wood" will substitute for a single grain of "we did the outreach".

mp_en_viaje: BingoBoingo, well, because they did. socialist reinterpretation of capitalism is still socialist.
mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform, sure, but atm we have plenty of springs.
asciilifeform: atm yes. cuz asciilifeform , 'idiot, wasted time', dug the ore an' forged them springs.
mp_en_viaje: no, that part is fine.
mp_en_viaje: the not fine part is -- asciilifeform idiot, instead of loading sprins on truck, let truck leave empty, spent time digging more ore.
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: 'spring' does need the keccak tho. then can actually rsapad.
mp_en_viaje: i get it, you enjoy that part. nevertheless, you can't cook me a 2nd breakfast instead of serving me the first because you enjoy cooking more than serving.
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: atm haven't even made for you the 1st breakfast tho.
mp_en_viaje: let me be the judge of that.
BingoBoingo has shared server backups loading up to trinquebox. About to prepare for hardware recovery mission.
mp_en_viaje: isn't it fun, actually doing something rather than sitting twiddling thumbs worrying...
BingoBoingo: mp_en_viaje: It's a stress, but as I'm sure I mentioned before... a productive stress. Beats the hell out of persistent stagnant dread-stress.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: fwiw lotsa folx in june '41 said also this.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: In a world where no one is shooting at Google, this may just as well be a more desperate situation than June '41 with respect to shaping the future.
BingoBoingo: The Chinese hadn't even gone through their backyard furnace experiment yet
BingoBoingo: Today, Germany sits driving Europe despite 1939-1945 playing out as they did.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: germany got its 'win via separate-peace w/ usa' after all. just took half century, vs. himmler's desired 2weeks.
BingoBoingo: Today for two years having passed since the 2017 state of necessity was declared... mp_en_viaje's evalution that for the time passing, the future of the internet seems darker... I can't dispute it.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: imho mp_en_viaje was in fact right in 2015, when wrote that working internet can only be built w/ constellation of machinery on old one, where if can connect to 1 noad, you get republican net, and the bits ~will~ go where they're addressed for so long as there's physically via what.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: The thing is... The old one is being consumed.
asciilifeform: aint much left of it, tbh.
asciilifeform: i suspect that mp_en_viaje will yet have occasion to say 'thank you' to asciilifeform for having 'wasted time' discovering how to undetectably and reliably shortwave.
asciilifeform: ( which -- did. but that's story for another time )
asciilifeform: [insert here oblig thrd where mp: 'you think i actually NEED the net? well, i can just as readily rule via camel couriers!11' ]
mp_en_viaje: just as soon as we get enough aluminum siding salesmen together to actually make something of it.
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: you have entirely fair point, 'gun that no one aims an' pulls trigger on dun fight'
mp_en_viaje: myeah.
mp_en_viaje: meanwhile i have the serious problem that my girls, who didn't feel "the need" to produce any articles for week upon week UPON WEEK of pizarro working fine, now have major backlogs that can't get published
mp_en_viaje: considering the beatings it took, them as apparently everyone else, human retardation is fucking insuperable, to start doing this at all, i can't imagine anything more fucking annoying.
mp_en_viaje: wtf am i gonna do here ;/
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: i was wundering where newton's royalsociety thing went..
mp_en_viaje: it's just...
mp_en_viaje: either way whichever direction i turn, nothing but smooth wall of self-supporting "humans are imbeciles, born imbeciles, will stay imbeciles, fuck you mp". what should i do, ~temporary~ arrangement ? so the imbecile within can be "oh, so much trouble to keep moving this, let's not write" ?
mp_en_viaje: or what the fuck exactly. god damn it i'm sick of the permanent precise well-oiled functioning of the idiocy machine.
mp_en_viaje: or what, "hey, instead of sucking my toes & finding whores / palaces to hang out with, i'll pay for hotel rooms so you can sit and nerd out, find new hosts, install mp-wps, all that" ?
mp_en_viaje: or maybe, "you know what, write offline, just don't publish".
mp_en_viaje: so many excellent solutions delivering in the end nothing but an entrenchment of some kind of the exact thing i was trying to stamp out in the first place.
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: for some reason i thought you had'em write into a queue always
mp_en_viaje: on the exact contrary.
asciilifeform 's father made him do it when was small .
mp_en_viaje: and i had you & all also quit with the fucking queues. because they're stupid.
asciilifeform: i'm still not 100% convinced that it was stupid. even if erryone is too weak.
mp_en_viaje: is there some way the orig pizarro shared blog box can be mirrored ?
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: there is ! i.e. get heathen machine, and unroll the backup to it.
asciilifeform: alternatively colo hole and the actual uy1 to be placed there. ( but this latter, slower )
BingoBoingo: mp_en_viaje: Every shared hosting customer's home directory and databases are being uploaded to trinque's deedbot box now as gpg encrypted tarballs.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i think he's asking re 'when the fuck can thewhet et al be standing again asap'
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje already knows that we have backups.
mp_en_viaje: BingoBoingo, im thinking of just getting a machine
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: it doesn't even need to be unusually heavy machine
mp_en_viaje: yeah, and ima ask people to ad-hoc isp for me now. god damned it.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje Aite. I've not yet shredded the pre-GPG'd backups anticipating the possibility of such an ask.
mp_en_viaje: BingoBoingo, ty, hold on to them a little bit.
BingoBoingo: mp_en_viaje: Will do.
mp_en_viaje: if anyone turns up a host they wanna try, getting this up for me together with a promise to cleanly move it if/when you move gets me to pay for your first 3 mo service.
asciilifeform in talks with a bmore machine park, not expecting massive win. but possibly can house sumthing at sumthing resembling a human price.

asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: didja know there are 0 in washingtonistan ?!
asciilifeform: such that take humans.
asciilifeform did not know. 2y ago there still were..
mp_en_viaje: yeah well. hence the earlier talk of darkening.
asciilifeform: verily it is so.
mp_en_viaje: BingoBoingo, what sort of weight are we talking here ?
BingoBoingo: mp_en_viaje: I will weight the hole orchestra, but one of the supermicroservers came in at just under 15kg on the scale.
asciilifeform raging atm re the apparent depth of the bmore tards' retardation, but will elaborate later
mp_en_viaje: BingoBoingo, nono i mean re the shared server
BingoBoingo: mp_en_viaje: all tarballed up just under 14 GB, before tarballing ~35-ish
mp_en_viaje: aite, wouldja mind as part of pizarro continuancy plan getting a shared server ~anywhere online, and bringing the piz shared back online ?
mp_en_viaje: it really doesn't matter so much where as it matters getting this back online already, it's just too crippling every which way
BingoBoingo: mp_en_viaje: Aite, with all this stuff offline I've been feeling like an amputee too.
asciilifeform got call w/ bmoreistan scheduled for 1.5h from nao, to haggle.
asciilifeform also in favour of mp_en_viaje's 'rebuild uy1' idea , it is smart.
asciilifeform: imho e.g. bmore is only good (IF at all usable) for physical boxen to live, where asciilifeform can pasture'em with own hands ; would have to be barking mad to ~lease~ a box there
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: do you find it entirely unacceptable to use someone like the moldavian d00d , if someone volunteers to 'cutout' (i.e. pay him and pasture him, on command) ?

mp_en_viaje: a boy that's no good might as well be made a horse.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i dun think there's any way to avoid riding'em
asciilifeform: 1 horse shot out from under human, gotta get another.
mp_en_viaje: BingoBoingo, the last time this preference against riding worked out was https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/93/Siege-alesia-vercingetorix-jules-cesar.jpg

asciilifeform: and ideally yes, not glued to 1 horse again.
asciilifeform: cuz that was -- mistake .
asciilifeform: the correct way to do ~errything is the way how we did the logger.
BingoBoingo: Except still more distributed and MARKETED\
mp_en_viaje: there;s a reason horses are saddled not stitched to rider's groin
asciilifeform: marketed, or even 'uci'-d .
BingoBoingo: <mp_en_viaje> there;s a reason horses are saddled not stitched to rider's groin << This is rather what Pizarro felt like. I have no intention of getting sewn to a working beast of burden again. I can try riding, but I'd rather not get SEWN because "you're already on the ground and we all got bored/spawned/bumbled etc."
mp_en_viaje: i can see it.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: MARKETED because otherwise no matter how clean and sanitary, without marketing its jsut us derping in a small clean room about how clean it is while AmaGoogFlix eats all!
BingoBoingo: Even a uci would need marketed
BingoBoingo: If all we are is clean we're just compulsively grooming in a population sink experiment
diana_coman: fwiw I don't mind it if anyone actually wants to ride maxim but note that their "uptake" of anything proved indeed 1mm deep; just yest I had to ask *again* for the same thing I had previously asked
diana_coman: so need a serious whip too or on-repeat
mp_en_viaje: diana_coman, you got anyone shortlisted you wanna try ?
diana_coman: mp_en_viaje: so far sadly none that I want to try at all; and yes, I've been looking & talking to idiots precisely because I *need my blog* back online already
diana_coman: I've recovered and parked younghands still in Chisinau because I can't keep those guys in #o doing nothing, it's worse enough as it is
diana_coman: but I won't put my blog there too, just no.
BingoBoingo headed out the door finally with the wheels after very IRC/Log heavy start to the day
diana_coman: the dc around here are just about as idiotic as last time I looked, at least via email; ie the only dim possibility might be if I get to visit at some point and somehow find some human in there but I'm not giving it many chances and so I can't spend current limited time on this.
asciilifeform elbowed a key and mp_en_viaje's caesar ended up where the front sector camera running image normally is on asciilifeform's left-lower lcd. asciilifeform sees, and goes 'wtf' before realizes

mp_en_viaje: obv if i wanted to pay less i'd have made the award less. i don't, not because "it's what it's worth" (which very eminently isn't, true market value of the item's prolly in the $70-$150 range, depending where you buy it) but because tryina prime the pump, so people can go "hey, we made something out of crumpled wad!", why not.

mp_en_viaje: o look, caught up with log.
mp_en_viaje: feats of strength&fortitude
mp_en_viaje: only 20k words today in 800 lines, what, a novel/day
asciilifeform orc bazar in 5m
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje, BingoBoingo , et al : bmore orcs actually pretty cheap , comparatively . promised written quote later today.
asciilifeform: for physical slots, that is, cheap. bw -- less cheap. they want 50 $ (usa) per 10Mb-sustained. ( and in fact boxen get plugged into a Gb/s port , and expected to ration selves , erry 10Mb/s/mo costs 50 , if somehow eat 100Mb/s/mo or equiv. weight, costs 500 ! )
asciilifeform: holes sold by 2u; each 2u comes w/ 320watt (at 220v)
asciilifeform: racks are kolhoz, if one buys less than whole rack, a d00d with a camera stands there while you fiddle in it.
asciilifeform: 2u hole costs per se 100 / mo (just mains current an' physical space) , net pipe is on top of this.
asciilifeform: ergo, minimal cost to house a single machine running at sustained 10Mb/s (very thin imho) is 150 $ us / mo ( + orctax ) .
asciilifeform: to open acct costs 125 .
asciilifeform: thing is in 1 of those concertina wire forts in bmore. 'expedient' corp. (never 1nce heard of it, but apparently nao monopoly in this fuckhole.)
asciilifeform: finally, there is no contract, it's a monthly thing.
BingoBoingo back with the 4 1 servers. Oscar ended up walking me out and asking if I'd checked that the IPs were opened back up again some time today.... to the powered down diskless rack. No notice had been provided that the IPs were restored. Told him I'd return and check from the one of the microservers. Will try to do so when I return to fill bags again.
mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform, honestly this sounds like a pretty decent deal.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: wd. ( yer gonna have to break the news to'em at some pt tho )
mp_en_viaje: ration selves is the ~only other commercial version you'll find besides "oh ddos" latech style
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: it's 'bout 3x less than i expected it'd cost
mp_en_viaje: 5k/gb seems very reasonable.
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: appears to be.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: The news seems pretty broke already.
asciilifeform: also asciilifeform'd get ip via arin.
mp_en_viaje: also nice.
mp_en_viaje: so what do you dislike about it ?
asciilifeform: 0 charge 'per ip', could house e.g. rk orchestra.
mp_en_viaje: get a coupla c blocks to start with, distinct, and "raid" them.
mp_en_viaje: or more if possibru
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: dunno, i'm simply still not recovered from allergic choke from last go.
diana_coman: fwiw I just made my stock email telling them what I want and now sending it around with way less filtering (because there isn't much to filter); I expect there'll be some emails waiting for me tomorrow but dunno if anything positive.
asciilifeform: but seriously considering bmoreistan.
mp_en_viaje: do they have half or mini racks ?
asciilifeform: a:'how long would take for arin bureaucracy' bmore:'~week'
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: sold by 2u increment, hundy per.
asciilifeform: but full cage goes for 750.
mp_en_viaje: yes but to get whole cabinet. only full us ?
mp_en_viaje: so get a cage, ideal, can lock it.
asciilifeform: fella said it's expandable in <hr.
asciilifeform: 'get the 2u, come back for more'
asciilifeform: i specifically asked 'can come in, work on machines?' answr was '24/7, just put key in'
mp_en_viaje: it seems to be the case saving 20 bucks a day is not worth the "own rack" outlay
mp_en_viaje: besides, if this works out it finally gives you htat holy grail, of unassailable excuse to stay put
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: can you reformulate ?
mp_en_viaje: which ?
asciilifeform: atm not sure if makes sense to get these
mp_en_viaje: why not ?
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: atm seems that 'fill whole rack' is recipe for 'new piz'
asciilifeform: irresistible target for 'oops you've been dos'd' etc
mp_en_viaje: well, if they go south you drive over get boxes back. what of it
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: seems that if worth, worth to test w/ 1 or 2 pieces.
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: ftr i also dunwant to end up in 'marriage' to this warehouse.
mp_en_viaje: maybe i misunderstand this, let's see
asciilifeform: ( to be fair to the orcs, they letcha cancel whenever , no indenture )
mp_en_viaje: you have option of either paying 3 bux day for sharing into someone else's rack, while someone stands over and films you ; or else pay 20 bux per day to own rack, which is 24u, ie 12times the size, and lock it as your own.
mp_en_viaje: this right ?
asciilifeform: this -- correct
mp_en_viaje: so i'd rather pay 20 than 3 for 8x the space and the ownership, what's difficult to digest ?
ericbot: Logged on 2019-10-08 19:18:21 asciilifeform: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-10-08#1942598 << ftr asciilifeform can afford to feed a 3-4hundy cow. but so long as in fact gives milk. and still seems steep imho .

mp_en_viaje: would you pay 50/mo to rent shelf in someone's bathroom or 400/month to rent studio apt ?
mp_en_viaje: why not ?
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: pauper.
mp_en_viaje: so ima send you one of nsa's coin, you trade it for whatever 8k it's worth, and not pauper no more.
asciilifeform hangs head in shame
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: bmore warehouse dun eat cash.
mp_en_viaje: get 24 u and a up to gb for 5k/mo, put allthe iron you have in there and there you go.
mp_en_viaje: you asked ?
mp_en_viaje: so put it on your cc.
asciilifeform: can try an' ask again.
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: if we make 'discover working btc-to-usd in middle of fucking reich' part of this problem, will take long time.
asciilifeform: i aint got one.
mp_en_viaje: well looky, your conference call, inasmuch as it was predicated on "talk to dc about my soda & 2 large popcorn budget" was a waste of your time.
mp_en_viaje: 750/mo for rack + 5k for gbps pro rated is very reasonable an offer, i'd take it.
mp_en_viaje: if you can't take it why even bother calling, what did you expect they'd say, "19.95" ?
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: can reliably put 4-5hundy w/out problems, from asciilifeform's daily racket. and thought we were orig. discussing 'could house 1u?' . but if not mp_en_viaje-grade, then waht can do.
mp_en_viaje: oh, so if it was your private one box thing then why in here lol
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: expected ~400-500 for coupla holes, apparently can haz.
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: idea was, uy1, or dulap, etc.
asciilifeform: why wouldja want all of'em in 1rack again?!
mp_en_viaje: i didn't want all of those in 1 rack.
diana_coman: asciilifeform: the way I see it is that one wants 1 rack just like one wants own bathroom; ie not to share.
mp_en_viaje: you have this very self-defeating way of being "conservative"
mp_en_viaje: it's stupid, and i want no part of it.
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: you forgot 'stop being poor, fucktard'
mp_en_viaje: you're not even poor, you're just weird.
mp_en_viaje: not like eg nsa can't afford all this.
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: i dun know how to turn btc into us-cc.
mp_en_viaje has no problem putting the above on nsa's monthly report ; and if indeed all the noises you make about having iron (that you "can't inventory" until "you dispose of the garbage, cuz totally, that's how inventories are made, can't enumerate the jewels for lack of having expelled the piocket lint),
mp_en_viaje: this'd be a perfect opportunity to put all that to work, also.
mp_en_viaje: but i can't ever decide with you if miles gloriosus, talks of gf as "pets", plural, because why not, boihood chorus, or genuine misrepresented fellow, has all sorta things doesnt know how to put to work.
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: other thing, whole cage may be 750, but bw for a rack's wortha boxen would be coupla k/m
mp_en_viaje: what size cage ?
mp_en_viaje: i am now confused.
mp_en_viaje: so what is sold for 750/mo ?
asciilifeform: physical cabinet + mains current, 1.2amp / 220v per 2u ration.
mp_en_viaje: and so what is the problem in getting it ?
asciilifeform: once start to fill it, pipe costs substantial .
mp_en_viaje: dude, i already said, wtf. <mp_en_viaje> get 24 u and a up to gb for 5k/mo, put allthe iron you have in there and there you go.
asciilifeform: where is asciilifeform to get 5+k/mo ?
mp_en_viaje: a coin's worth two of those.
ericbot: Logged on 2019-10-09 20:14:01 asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: i dun know how to turn btc into us-cc.
mp_en_viaje: look, paying 5k for gbps is not substantial. much like paying 1mn for 300 working mercedeses not substantial.
asciilifeform: no i get it, it's ~market rate.
mp_en_viaje: so figure it out, make yourself useful.
asciilifeform: it aint a bad price.
mp_en_viaje: lobbes, can you help this fellow out of paper bag ?
mp_en_viaje: or whoever lives thereabouts and not yet beheaded ? afaik lobbes last head left attached.
asciilifeform: if lobbes knows how to do this, i'ma take off hat and do it w/ lobbes .
mp_en_viaje: and make a fucking inventory already, "alf's list of the most-likelky-to-be-worth-racking 24 u items currently in his warehouse"
mp_en_viaje: actually make it ~36 or so u long, so there's some choice.
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: the only rackable i have in stock here is the rktron.
mp_en_viaje: really ?
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: lol unless you want some 486 racked..
mp_en_viaje: so you don't actually have electronics besides vintage/garbage about ?
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: in your conception of 'electronics' -- apparently not
asciilifeform: what , did mp_en_viaje think asciilifeform was sitting on top of a dc ?!
mp_en_viaje: "my conception" ie, rackworthy ?
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: it'd depend what's rackworthy ! but in asciilifeform's eyes, not errything with a cpu in it is 'rackworthy'
asciilifeform: just like not erry tub in kitchen is 'seaworthy'
mp_en_viaje: yes, honestly, i had formed the impression that after years of perusing the penny-to-dollar electronic surplus stores you amassed a large collection of perfectly serviceable parts, that could in a pinch produce a cabinets worth of servers. i did.
mp_en_viaje: and that this pile, inter alia, is why you're stil lthe fuck there in the first place.
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: 'unsexies' e.g. oscilloscopes, do 0 for racks
mp_en_viaje: so you're more of an electrician than a computer scientist, the bulk of your garbage trove is in fact unrelated to computing as such
mp_en_viaje: you have textile looms and period exhaust pipes from the carbureted days of yore.
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: depends, do items like this -- 'electrician' or komoyooting ?
mp_en_viaje: an earlier inventory could've saved me the internal misrepresentation.
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: you think i'd sit on a rack's worth of comp and not say ?
mp_en_viaje: aite, so if you're not in the business of being in business, you're not, what can i tell you.
mp_en_viaje: this'd have been excellent op to recapitalize.
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: i dun have a surgical theatre either. nor milking machines. i was never attempting to fill a dc, until piz.
mp_en_viaje: i thought you jsut bought shit because it was cheap / you liked it, in lieu of saving or w/e. nfi what the fuck you're doing, i confess the more i talk to you, the less i understand.
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: i have a www. since '07. was even under impression that mp_en_viaje occasionally read it.
asciilifeform: what is pictured there ? 'my dragon hoard of dc-waiting-for-rack' ?
mp_en_viaje: in so many words, yes.
asciilifeform boggled.
mp_en_viaje: what can i tell you.
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: worse, all of this aint even the hard part, in usa can get any kinda rackables for ~lunchmoney
mp_en_viaje: anyway, the proposition of buing new, off eggazon w/e, to fill a rack significantly less appealing.
mp_en_viaje: here he goes again.
asciilifeform: i never bought'em new.
mp_en_viaje: i suspect the problem is your constant confusion between "could" and "did"
mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform, you just said you never bought AT ALL.
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: bought the piz inhabitants, neh.
mp_en_viaje: okay...
asciilifeform: (didn't pull'em from arse, no)
mp_en_viaje: i also thought you pulled those from warehouse, myself.
mp_en_viaje: not 100%, but a majority.
asciilifeform: srsly?!
asciilifeform: mno, was discussed in painfully pedantic detail, compl. w/ links to the people from whom bought.
asciilifeform: were 1-1.5k ea.
asciilifeform: (1.5 incl diskage, disks bought new cuz wtf, used toothbrushes)
mp_en_viaje: so let me get this straight. you do not in fact own 100k worth of rackable motherboards + cpu assemblages ; but you do all the while own ~20k worth of legacy symbolics hardware.
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: 5 of bolix (not partic. relevant, does someone want ~that~ racked?!)
mp_en_viaje: can i get yes/no ?
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: i dun own 100k of anyffin, dun think.
asciilifeform: not even organs.
mp_en_viaje: so let me get this straight. you do not in fact own 100k worth of rackable motherboards + cpu assemblages ; but you do all the while own ~20k worth of legacy symbolics hardware.
asciilifeform: 1) defo nope 2) 1 single bolix.
mp_en_viaje: i thought you had multiple chips + boards + other junk related.
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: 16 ( 17, incl desk test bed ) rk. + a room fulla laboratory gear, such as is kept by fella who never even in nightmare pictured to run a dc.
mp_en_viaje: dude nevermind.
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: i aint got a comp warehouse ! and moreover have nfi why mp_en_viaje thought -- did.
mp_en_viaje: do you or do you not currently posses and are the owner of a number of cpus made by defunct symbolics co ; a number of pcbs made by defunct symbolics co ; a number of other just as useless paraphenalia made by just as defunct same co
asciilifeform: i dun warehouse wheels of cheese either
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: handful of said cpu + 1 working machine is all i got re these.
mp_en_viaje: and the market value of this handful of cpus + working mchine comes to ?
asciilifeform: what's useless , and what aint, depends from who pov. for building a piz-style dc -- 100% useless. and btw asciilifeform already, i thought, killed 1 dc, why would mp_en_viaje even consider to put'im in another.
mp_en_viaje: yes, yes. but the dollar value of said arguably useless or not useless pile of old junk you can't currently use would be...
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: i'd say nomoar than 5k will be paid for it at the auction when im hanged.
mp_en_viaje: nevermind that. if you put it on amazon today you'd BIY for...
mp_en_viaje: multiple symbolics cpus, i thought those went for 2-3k ea.
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: you already said 5x 'useless', can say 6 if you like, but i get
mp_en_viaje: whole bolix, i thought that's more like 7k+ these days.
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: whole bolix cost me 5. cpu was briefly sold for 450/ea, nao absent entirely from market.
mp_en_viaje: whatevers. my question will stand as "so you do not in fact own 100k worth of rackable severs, but you do own 20k worth of unrackable memorabilia, which you inexplicably misvalue at 5k for some reason that's obviously this conversation and the outcomes yu want to see from it".
mp_en_viaje: whatever. all this begs the question "how the fuck did you get your inventory manager to approve this insanity of outlay". with the self-obvious answer that "i am said manager myself, and i am known for my managerial acumen"
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: why it is even interesting to ask about what unrackables asciilifeform owns ? my toyota also aint rackable.
asciilifeform: equally 'useless'.
mp_en_viaje: anwyays. people judge likeliness by some sort of grille. mine comes pre-populated with sanity promoting assumptions that are build through interacting with business not with collectors. consequently, all sort of conclusions can be derived that evidently do not bear out in practice.
mp_en_viaje: but no small part of why i thought you had so and so is because you have others thus and following. i expect the man with 100k worth of car to have 1k worth of gas, i expect the man with egitheen slavegirls to have 20+ rooms, that sorta thing
asciilifeform: how about man with 1k of car ?
mp_en_viaje: i dunno, 20 bucks of gas and an outstanding speeding fine.
asciilifeform: i think i figured it out, mp_en_viaje still thinks asciilifeform is seekritly loaded and simply intransigent
mp_en_viaje: 100k of gear in your life-dedication field is very far from loaded.
mp_en_viaje: i'd also expect 30yo boat-lifer to own ~100k worth of boat. and 30yo golf pro to own ~100k worth of golf gear.
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform might be intransigent, but aint a liar. i dun got 100k of any.
mp_en_viaje: and 30yo concert musician to own, if not necessarily 100k worth of violin, then definitely 100k worth of violin if HE PLAYS THE VIOLIN, and twice so if he has a collection of antique panflutes.
asciilifeform: why would even pile up dc-style boxes in fucking hovel?! what good they do there ?!
mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform, i believe. now you believe me when i say your household is grossly mismanaged.
asciilifeform: if mp_en_viaje says -- then perhaps is, who am i to say.
asciilifeform: perhaps if were well-managed, would consist of tractors an' rabbits
mp_en_viaje: capital is to be deployed certain ways, not fucking randomly, neh ?
asciilifeform: 'i dun understand this fucking martian' != 'random'
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje et al : http://www.loper-os.org/pub/baltimoristan.jpg for anyone who cares .
mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform, it is not interesting to me because well...
mp_en_viaje: i am interested in something like that next to someone who makes sense, though.
asciilifeform: luckily mp_en_viaje has battalion of people-who-make-sense next to reasonably-priced-dc then..
mp_en_viaje: i dunno, maybe something comes up.
mp_en_viaje: anyways, ima be off. laters all!
asciilifeform: nighty mp_en_viaje
asciilifeform: a+++ mp_en_viaje karateka today btw.
asciilifeform: enjoyed.
diana_coman: in unexpected idiotic failures, monovm's automated system replies to my email to inform me that they won't look at it because I'm not registered with them.

BingoBoingo: http://archive.is/3nQJt << Argentina is fatwah'd and even more isolated than Uruguay from an internet perspective, but here's what they offer for 2U 10mbps burstable symmetric (LACNIC so IP address poor). If Gbps can reasonable be had in Baltimore...
diana_coman: asciilifeform: as I was saying, now I don't bother to filter them anymore; they will filter themselves, as above.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i think mp_en_viaje will sooner eat glass than go argentine
diana_coman: BingoBoingo: fwiw I even emailed some brazilians, will see if/what they reply.
asciilifeform: diana_coman: i aint about to question your methods.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Right. It's just if you set the bar low... You get Argentines outbidding themselves to be lowest
asciilifeform: diana_coman: 'email errybody' is Right Thing
diana_coman: asciilifeform: better email them too or something, there are so many, it's not like I can cover all anyway
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo:wouldja argentina even for 1cent ?
asciilifeform: consider what you'd get.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: No. I would not Argentina.
asciilifeform: see, 'i would not, could not, in the zoo...'
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: It may be worth working with lobbes/trinque to see if a BTC/Dubloo circuit in the zone can be established. The one thing the US has is cables everywhere. Argentina hangs off of the "Tannat" cable still further from Fortaleza than Uruguay
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: if mp_en_viaje were interested, would. but he thinks asciilifeform is lunatic. so what'd be the use.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: apparently he also thought that i kept 15 spare piz's under my bed.
asciilifeform swears on mpkoranbbq that he doesn't
asciilifeform: diana_coman: so far emailing the places can physically reach. returned 1 output. but if you're overwhelmed, pgp piece of victim list and what-do-demand and i'ma help.
BingoBoingo: Well, how much does a dulap spec machine run for on the market atm, and are there any indications as to how deep the market is. You did say earlier that they are getting rarer
asciilifeform: imho there aint much point in putting inside usa if not asciilifeform , lobbes , trinque , can physically reach, usa is overpriced
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: ~1k. but limited availability ('depth') in market.
asciilifeform: see mp_en_viaje's point about the whore angela.
diana_coman: asciilifeform: atm I don't think it matters where if they do as told and come register and invoice with deedbot etc.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: if yer ~leasing~ a box, will get what the people have, not what you want. even in that ukr thing diana_coman found that supposedly opterons. they'll be with ipmi etc. this is inevitable.
asciilifeform: diana_coman: this promises to be uphill battle. i at least did not demand 'oh hey , only dc in 400km radius, will ya register w/deedbot ?'
BingoBoingo: diana_coman: Maxihost was pretty retarded with their formalism last time I searched in depth. Maybe someone else in Brasil is more responsive?
diana_coman: asciilifeform: you know, there were at least *some* in the whole list saying kvm; and I'm pretty sure I don't have a full list anyway.
asciilifeform: diana_coman: that's pretty good (rare) .
diana_coman: asciilifeform: I *am* asking them precisely that and nothing less.
asciilifeform: diana_coman: my approach was to find a ~reasonable~ dc to which can get with own hands. and to fall on the grenade of paying it from pocket. but i can see wai mp_en_viaje barfed.
diana_coman: if it's not that, I can go anywhere for same thing,not worth all the time.
asciilifeform: diana_coman: i assume you read the discussion re 'horse' ?
ericbot: Logged on 2019-10-09 18:23:58 asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: do you find it entirely unacceptable to use someone like the moldavian d00d , if someone volunteers to 'cutout' (i.e. pay him and pasture him, on command) ?
ossabot: Logged on 2019-10-09 15:46:17 diana_coman: fwiw I don't mind it if anyone actually wants to ride maxim but note that their "uptake" of anything proved indeed 1mm deep; just yest I had to ask *again* for the same thing I had previously asked
asciilifeform: ah yes.
asciilifeform: apologies , diana_coman , looong day.
diana_coman: they are quick and they will do as told just as long as it doesn't take it out of the pen, that's about it.
diana_coman: no worries, I'm not exactly fresh myself either
asciilifeform: diana_coman: if you need a 2nd pair of hands, i'ma follow your instruction to look for 'human'. but atm strongly suspect that we will have to ride horses.
asciilifeform: and to get good at riding.
diana_coman: asciilifeform: go ahead and ride it, really; do it well and it's worth it, what.
asciilifeform: diana_coman: apparently i'm too stupid to ride properly.
asciilifeform: was gonna get a 2u.
asciilifeform: (or could even 4)
diana_coman: asciilifeform: so get them already.
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje said 'no pasaran'
BingoBoingo: Well, you can't expect real time answers with IRC. See what the other folks in the zone say when they wake up as far as BTC conversion.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: if e.g. trinque wants in, perhaps mp_en_viaje will consider.
asciilifeform: iirc trinque hungers day an' night for coin to buy.
asciilifeform: then we can get cabinet and a thick pipe etc.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Or lobbes since lobbes does seem to be documenting his housecleaning efforts well.
asciilifeform: ( or even trinque in trinqueistan )
asciilifeform: or lobbes.
diana_coman: asciilifeform: converting btc is anyway useful, I'd say; dc or no dc, I really don't see why *not* do it.
bvt: asciilifeform: you can get 2u for yourself - you'd still run logger somewhere, no?
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: the thought of filling a 42u in usa still makes me queasy. 1 day i'ma show up there and it'll be empty, 'oops'
asciilifeform: bvt: it's overkill 'for self', i aint mp, not loaded.
asciilifeform: diana_coman: i dun dispute that it's useful. but i do not know how to do it reliably.
asciilifeform: and e.g. racks, gotta be paid on time erry single time.
asciilifeform: potentially it could be done the way BingoBoingo did it. but the metered bw thing makes me ill, it's an open-ended liability
asciilifeform: and incidentally when they empty that 42u, i'ma have even less recourse than BingoBoingo against latech. i can't afford even hour of usa attourney i suspect . (not that it'd do much good)
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: At some point the queasyness has to be balanced against the opportunity to gain some leverage.
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje sometimes seems to think that asciilifeform is a 1/32th scale model of himself. but no, asciilifeform is a pauper, and not even grade-a pauper .
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i'll fall on whatever grenade , but only makes sense to do if it does some good.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: my the lack of recourse against latecho is dwarfed by latecho and "dedicado"'s lack of recourse against centurylink.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: does idea of errybody in 1 cage again seem smart to you ?
asciilifeform: cuz to asciilifeform , does not.
asciilifeform: not even mattering where is this cage.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: It doesn't. But we are going through a forced diversification movement anyways.
asciilifeform: indeed we are.
asciilifeform: the 1 good imho that could even come outta it, is to make deadly sure we dun ever end up all in 1 dead cage again.
asciilifeform: speaking of 'expensive lessons'.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: my notion was to get a coupla holes and serve as 'horse rider' to 2-3 people. at same time topping off slowly own meagre coin sack, at the rate permitted by asciilifeform's pauperty.
asciilifeform: this naturally does ~not~ give same 'bang for buck' as 'whole cage, motherfucker!' and mp_en_viaje -- barfs predictably. tho i was under impression that diana_coman also shopping for less than whole cage.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: This is admirable, but even with them rating the ports as "burtable"... I suspect mp's inclination to get a full Gb pipe up front is how to keep the same sort of network farting from trashing the operation.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: bmore actually gives Gb pipe.
asciilifeform: simply charges for mass.
asciilifeform: you can run it all day at Gb if you like, simply will pop when the bill comes.
asciilifeform: they offload ddos filtration on the tenant.
asciilifeform: you get arin ip's etc.
asciilifeform: essentially same thing as 'if BingoBoingo on antel'
asciilifeform: mains current, oddly, not metered.
asciilifeform: ( simply 1.2amp fuse per 2u holes )
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i spoke with their fuhrer. (monkey was unable to answer all) , fella explained that 'customer must throttle himself, we just bill'
BingoBoingo: !Qlater tell trinque Backups have finished uploading to the deedbot server.
lobbesbot: BingoBoingo: The operation succeeded.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: at any rate quote is valid for 2wks, if mp_en_viaje parachutes in 'someone who aint a tard' asciilifeform will get cage etc. when given marching order.
asciilifeform: then can come back to subj.
asciilifeform: i'ma get a 2nd quote for 'all cage' in case.
asciilifeform: ( quotes dun cost anyffin but wear on asciilifeform's kbd )
asciilifeform bbl, meat.
BingoBoingo: Anyways from an architecture point of view one big weakness of LACNIC countries (and Asia it seems as well) is IP poverty. For all the disadvantages of North America, it has IP space to spare.
BingoBoingo brb, supply run to keep the biologics going
diana_coman: ftr, if no human can be found, I'll lease a server in turkey and be done with it.
diana_coman: done for today, will see what emails await me tomorrow.
lobbes back from mines; resumes eating log
mp_en_viaje: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-10-09#1944081 << i said, "so why are you discussing it here". go, get, do, wth.
ossabot: Logged on 2019-10-09 18:10:16 asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje said 'no pasaran'
mp_en_viaje: i can't imagine you need my approval or for that matter oppinion for getting yourself a box. go, get, what.
ossabot: Logged on 2019-10-09 18:11:10 BingoBoingo: Well, you can't expect real time answers with IRC. See what the other folks in the zone say when they wake up as far as BTC conversion.
mp_en_viaje: s nothing to fucking consider, man. if i have to buy the hardware, proximity to you is an anti-issue, you can't do x, can't do y, you're anti-useful.
mp_en_viaje: if i have to buy the hardware i'll simply lease whatever random dorks have ready and be done with it.
mp_en_viaje: what exactly did you imagine you'd be bringing to the table, anyway ? some manner to make any possible deal as complicatedly untenable as it could conceivably get ?
mp_en_viaje: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-10-09#1944122 << nah, if/when someone sane is found, can just get this next to them instead, easier.
