trinque: no startup is an every couple days affair. it's an every waking moment affair, and it redefines waking without your asking
too.
mp_en_viaje: in practical
terms -- i can use deedbot just fine for in-l payments ; but it is currently not usable for out-of-l payments because of
the delay. 99% of
those payments are
tiny, why leave it on
the
table.
mp_en_viaje: trinque, iirc
there was a scheme discussed year or
two ago re small sums and a definition
thereof ?
trinque: deedbot wallet is cold storage, and exiting
the cold storage requires my involvement
mp_en_viaje: trinque, is
there some way
to make deedbot wallet work within ~hour rather
than ~days ? is
there some way
to make paste more like 20mb limit
than
the current wha
tis it 2 ? 1 ?
diana_coman: asciilifeform: yeee,
thank you; and
thank you BingoBoingo !
mp_en_viaje: i dunno
that
there's an objective floor on dc costs.
mp_en_viaje: with bitcoin
this low, advance payment's prolly
the least of your worries
BingoBoingo: Hardware wise UY1 left little
to nothing
to nitpick. Dulap
type machine lots of ram, lots of fast disk, plenty of cores, hard
to have
too much of any of
these
things when shitting pages from public facing port.
The room for improvement is in
the stack and its management.
mp_en_viaje: for
that matter, for all i know $1k worth of ecc now will be worth 50% more
than
that 1k worth of non-ecc in
two years, whatever.
mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform, i'm not hell bent on saving
the % either ; just making
the general point.
mp_en_viaje: running a business is all about doing math. "am i willin gto pay 1.5% more for a box
to reduce losses by one in five million ?"
mp_en_viaje: if your machine mostly serves web, it loses an estimated 20-25 ppm
to web being made of shit. meanwhile 2-3 per year comes
to sub 1 ppq. it just doesn
mp_en_viaje: i dunno if ecc is
that important in context, but...
mp_en_viaje: if you can cram 1tb in
there you won't regret it, basically.
mp_en_viaje: cool. and i agree with him -- one
thing you most want is ram
mp_en_viaje: incidentally, how about you offer l2s, new or otherwise, a year of free hosting ? i'ma
throw in a free domain registration with it on my own account, and
there you go, novice welcoming package.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I'll bake a blog post architecting what an ideal shared host machine involves based on
the lessons of UY1 and anyserver.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I'll work on a shared server how-to with hardware resources necessary. I can
tell you now such a machine is going
to want all
the RAM it can get. On 'anyserver' MySQL's RAM consumption has been stable and depended so far on how many blogs it has been fed. Apache however benefits
tremendously from spinning up new workers and
there isn't another
httpd worth messing with for
the purpose.
ossabot: Logged on 2019-10-18 13:03:05 mp_en_viaje: perhaps should lay into asciilifeform
to offer a shared of
their own and we move all
the stuff off BingoBoingo 's continuity bridge in
there within a month or
two ?
diana_coman: mp_en_viaje: I am all for hosting it with asciilifeform but
tbh I would very much want him
to publish an actual business plan on his blog.
mp_en_viaje: i suppose. i have so many of
these by now
tho...
diana_coman: mp_en_viaje:
that makes sense as a direct replication of previous setup; I don't really see anything wrong with it either; alternatively I suppose I can always set it up even on a vps with maxim or whatevers, it's literally "don't care where", all of it is public and fixed and should just be accessible for people
to download stuff.
mp_en_viaje: perhaps should lay into asciilifeform
to offer a shared of
their own and we move all
the stuff off BingoBoingo 's continuity bridge in

mp_en_viaje: diana_coman, i should prolly have
that god damned youtube
translated, it's just
TOO fucking archetypical.
diana_coman:
http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-10-18#1946300 - meanwhile after reading a
translation of some chinese dude's similar attempts
to "communicate", I start suspecting
that everyone's chinese!! but after
this experience, I'll add
to #o curriculum documented interactions with unknown people
to be done until result is judged acceptable.
diana_coman: at which point I realise I miss eulora playing
too.
mp_en_viaje: a car will
take 4 wheels 10 bucks each + 1 chasis 80 bux + 9 windows 2.20 + 1 engine 115 and our margin 20% comes
to (4*10+1*80+9 *2.20+1*115)*1.2 = 305.76
ossabot: Logged on 2019-10-18 12:38:42 mp_en_viaje: diana_coman, you happy with
that design btw ? would prefer something else ?
mp_en_viaje: a corp with significant dubaloo-denominated capital goods and bitcoin earnin gpower is like
the golden boy of bitcoin finance.
mp_en_viaje: well, is your policy
to stockpile irons for ye olde bitcoin insurance
theory or is it
to not ?
mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform, i
think i'd rather lease, do you have a preference ?
diana_coman: mp_en_viaje: let me go back
through
the whole log because honestly, I'm having a problem with asciilifeform's frenzy-spitting in
the logs
mp_en_viaje: lobbes i'm
thinking of cloning
the pizarro shared for sitting down your
thing on ; but comments welcome.
mp_en_viaje: diana_coman, you happy with
that design btw ? would prefer something else ?
mp_en_viaje: i see. ok, so what'd
the charge be for
the building of
two clones of
the smg machines + 1 clone of
the pizarro shared server and for a year's hosting ?
mp_en_viaje: aite, so
then, what's your plan, get a rack and start racking ?
mp_en_viaje: i mean financed. eg when i logged into dns
thing a few days back at BingoBoingo 's request discovered i have like 1k usd rotting in
there. and
that place
takes bitcoin,
too.
mp_en_viaje: might be a good idea
to open yourself a
tab with
them,
too.
mp_en_viaje: is
this adult bank wire ? or
the mickey mouse what are
they, "send money back
to nicaragua"
things ?
mp_en_viaje: well, so do you have some kind of bridge for
the gaping void of btc-dubaloo conversions for instance ? i remember
that was one of
the original wtfs.
mp_en_viaje: as i was saying earlier in
the proceedings, nsa could very well support
this effort ; but it has
to be fucking serious not penny ante flavour-of-the-week amateur show.
mp_en_viaje: can you appreciate
the "wtf were
these
two doing, sat on isp while playing with xray machine" ?
mp_en_viaje: and if in
three weeks
this "is solved" in
the sense of no longer getting a lot of loglines, and you happen
to see a
teledildonic
telescope on sale, and you buy
that, i
mp_en_viaje: but in a coupla years if
the dc implodes and you decide you still can't move, i'll ???
mp_en_viaje: now look at
the
thing from
the other side. what am i getting here ?
