asciilifeform: follow their recipe, reg the nick
avgjoe: is there a way to register the username on the channel?
avgjoe: so i'd like to ask what happens if there are other "avgjoe" logged on irc and my client change a bit the username to log me in ☟︎
lobbesbot: avgjoe: Sent 1 day, 21 hours, and 32 minutes ago: <BingoBoingo> I don't talk to strangers in private
asciilifeform: mod6: some relax but lotsa chores, gotta get dulap3 doing its thing
mod6: feel free to relax for a few days if you need to recover from mega-flight
mod6: feelin better today? got some rest?
mod6: mornin' TMSR~
ckang: hmm actually i have a few of those in use now
asciilifeform: supposed to have it. i dun have the chipset datashit tho, cannot say for certain.
ckang: do you have the drive model by chance?
asciilifeform: and backups are the customer's responsibility. always and without exception.
asciilifeform: ( if we pull the 'failed' drive, and all sectors write ok, you'll be getting that same drive again. )
asciilifeform: re drives : do recall that you get a phree yearly swap, ~if needed~ .
ckang: mostly use them for esxi host, not a big deal if it dies fortunately
asciilifeform: just . don't. fucking. swap. to. them. and don't winblowz/crapple/whatever shituntus insist on constantly massaging the drive for no reason.
asciilifeform: ckang: i have nfi what you've been buying; over here i have boxen that've been running off usb drives for 4+ yrs
ckang: even with low writes, every usb seems to fail after a year of being plugged up and running
ckang: most servers are going to that setup though ☟︎
asciilifeform: ckang: idiocy; they will wear at same rate
ckang: but the fx3s is still pretty pricey in low volume
ckang: i was considering using this and spinning a board at one point
ckang: ah thats what i was going to ask
asciilifeform: and observe that the pizarro rockboxen are build without swapism.

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-04-21#1804273 << nope. you're invited to buy the same drive and test. fwiw, and unlike cheaper ones, it has wear leveling. ☝︎
ckang: ben_vulpes: have you done any test on the reliability of those USB3 drives? ☟︎
ben_vulpes: pinochle: i also have "rockchip" microservers for rent, 4 core, 1.4 GHz, reasonable amounts of storage should you desire to isolate your operations from peers in the wot http://pizarroisp.net/index.php/pizarro-hosting-rate-sheet/

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, poverty of the spirit.
mircea_popescu: not disputing the fu factor of "we don't care about your blather, republic uses your sims and phones as cumrags". but meh, we dun have the hands on deck for such excursions into wank qua cool.
asciilifeform: a trabantoid is not 'investment' tho, anymoar than pair of wooden shoes
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, im sure there's plenty $800 "investments" from 1972 that still haven't fully amortised.
mircea_popescu: anyway. this ultimately seems about the same thing.
asciilifeform: funnily enuff, those were on the road in timis
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, no, oin a strict utility basis. i wouldn't pay a whole grand to have https://s1.cdn.autoevolution.com/images/gallery/RENAULT-12-2038_12.jpg
asciilifeform: 'spend bil to make mil'
mircea_popescu: "this is why communism went away, it used up 2k worth of fuel and 5k worth of metal to produce $800 worth cars"
mircea_popescu: "it was WORTH about that much, also. you seen the shits ?"
asciilifeform: i have nfi what this is used for, i still labour under impression that spam is -ev and a cargo cult
mircea_popescu: this kinda reminds me of a discussion re romania's 1980s automotive industry, "a car back then, brand new dacia, cost about $800 in real money"
mircea_popescu: you end up with costs over ten bucks a number, and all this so what, so you can make a facebook acct worth exactly the same as facebook inc, ie 0 ?
mircea_popescu: now, not entirely clear that it's worth it to bother. so the story is, you buy however many of these, say $2 each, then put them through a machine to be cloned, then have server select the right one at a time... meh.
asciilifeform: old noose, too.
mircea_popescu: yes but small and power dependent, so iirc takes minutes to crack one.
mircea_popescu: i vaguely recall it had a weak-ish aes thing
mircea_popescu: yes but basically, it's just the same crap as found in a contemporary rfid
mircea_popescu: i've not been following the subject, is "simm" item even broken ? what is it, a rfid chip i expect ?
asciilifeform: for instance, sim card is supposed to resist 'reading', has elaborate fritzology. but usually quite susceptible to elementary diddle ( dpa mainly )
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: there's multiple lulz layers in this subj :
mircea_popescu: which is how i ended up brewing my own in the first place.
mircea_popescu: there's "Services" but they dun work.
asciilifeform: right nao 'sms auth' is typically enuff problem for typical orc
mircea_popescu: the whole fucking point of existence is to make life unlivable for the poor after all.
mircea_popescu: hey, ynot. they'll still cost a buck.
asciilifeform: i expect they'll want arseprints or sumthing, next
mircea_popescu: seems you still need a few parts emplaced. but i expect the masses would love such service.
mircea_popescu: maybe we manage to get some countries entirely banned from facebook.
asciilifeform: is what i was thinking
mircea_popescu: and like this i expect it'd be very much a killer app, "pizarro destroys facebook authentication. make your facebook acct here, 0 cost"
mircea_popescu: well now like that, then yes very much helpful. i could buy 10k simms here, read them, put them into al arge blob file and have the item there ready.
asciilifeform: the simulated gsm thing for 'hackrf' universal radiotron
mircea_popescu: whereas what would be useful would be a linux thingee which TAKES SOME BINARY, and does that for any arbitrary simm.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: correct. tho it is possible in principle to locate the sim elsewhere
asciilifeform: and no it is not distinguishable on telco end or dialee end from a pnoje.
mircea_popescu: but you have to put the physical simm in there.
asciilifeform: gadget in question is ~= to the 'business end' of typical pnoje, 'baseband'. little bugger that takes a sim, and exposes a usb socket, from which one can dial, pickup/hangup, and pump pcm voice in/out. is all.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingostan appears to have cheap sims also
mircea_popescu: i don't get it. so you wrote a linux thingee which materializes some hardware into any arbitrary box ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: aha, they take standard voice sims
asciilifeform: i wrote a linux thingie that drives'em
mircea_popescu: also, very hard to beat the 1.x bucks a card thing here.
mircea_popescu: nah, they detect the broadband sort.
asciilifeform: the sunday flea market, of all places, had ~infinite supply of that very particular huawei gsm modem that is used for this.
asciilifeform: ( iirc mircea_popescu at least once had an experiment that needed numerous sms receivers. could set this up in iron nao, in principle. )
asciilifeform: btw i found that the dc, contrary to expectation, has ok radio reception. which means that we could make gsm modem bank etc
asciilifeform: try some torture tests ( serve up warez etc )
asciilifeform: how's the box ?
asciilifeform currently can't think of any use for such a thing
asciilifeform: btw can mircea_popescu et al think of a good reason to set up a public fg fountain? ( given how it is easy to do nao )
asciilifeform: ( iirc mircea_popescu one time tried getting heathen hosters to install fg, and found none who would attempt it )
asciilifeform: the other thing we do, is custom iron; currently typified by ' x + n x FG' . but can be whatever customer likes, potentially.
mircea_popescu: right, in that sense.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: aha, was the easy pit
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, yes, pizarro clawed itself out of the first pit, "we don't have what to sell".
mircea_popescu: missing from there : "as we read on trilema years ago" and "clearly mp knows better than all of us"
asciilifeform: ( so far only 2 takers, so i'ma hold off on building the supergiant farm of these )
asciilifeform: lessee if demand for these
asciilifeform: rly there is precious little point buying iron ( other than disposables like ssd ) made after death of moor's law
asciilifeform: i'll add that ~all the gear we installed, is of roughly similar vintage.
asciilifeform: in theory yes. in practice i have yet to see certain items age detectably. my cockpit cpus for instance, will soon score 10yr of uptime
asciilifeform: or didja mean that it will rot from overload, or disorganization, or etc
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: there's spares for all the iron

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-04-20#1804101 << they have some shiny gear there ; how long it stays great is to be established, but it starts in a spanking place. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: you'd have expected the "experts" to have invented one by now.
