billymg: well, because some of
them actually seem very intelligent, and seem like
they'd be pretty good at it, if
they cared
billymg: because isn't
that
the point?
try
to figure out how
the world works and get it
to work for you
billymg: and not just never get it, but never even want
to
billymg: i see what you're saying, and it's not fear of rejection or anything like
that, it's sadness. like when i realize
that even my own family/close friends will never get it
billymg: ah yeah, i remember
this one now, lots of good lulz in
there
mp_en_viaje: i went in
trying
to figure out if i care or not.
mp_en_viaje: why
the fuck would it be discouraging, it's not like i went in caring about
the retards
mp_en_viaje: yeah, say hi
to 1000
to find 100
to ask how
their day;s been
to find 10
to ask a 2ns question
to
to find one...
billymg: as in, gotta
talk
to 1000
to find
the one human?
ossabot: Logged on 2019-10-10 20:33:35 BingoBoingo: going over local contract law again.
Tristan Narvaja produced some gems. Art. 1273. La violencia moral no afectará la validez del contrato, sino cuando por la condición de la persona, su carácter, hábitos y sexo, pueda juzgarse que ha debido naturalmente hacerle una fuerte impresión.
Tampoco afectará la validez de los contratos el mero
temor reverencial.
ossabot: Logged on 2019-10-10 20:43:42 lobbes: But
this is faulty reasoning; e.g. mp_en_viaje sure as fuck didn't like Argentina yet knew
that place inside and out (which is how he even came
to
the conclusion
that it sucked so hard in
the first place)
ossabot: Logged on 2019-10-10 20:43:35 lobbes: I fell into ill
thinking in which I reasoned
that since I don't want
to live here ~forever~ and
that I don't really like
the place
that I am content with being a hermit for
the
time being.
lobbes: billymg: oya, I encounter
that as well, which is what leads
to my hermit behavior I find ("meh, I don't even enjoy hanging with
that guy; would rather just be alone"). But part of networking I suppose is just dealing with it and making
the effort. Not like BingoBoingo had
to be best buds with his bicycle guy contact, either
billymg: BingoBoingo:
ty, and no rush
billymg: anything i _want_
to
talk about,
they absolutely _do not_ want
to
talk about
lobbes: in other news, my second server is finally provisioned. I'm off
to resurrect auctionbot and blog!
lobbes: billymg, right? Ditto,
though I ought
to start
talking
to more people regardless of where I am. Sure it is 'easier'
to just not
talk
to people, but
the easy
things are easy for a reason
BingoBoingo: billymg: Aite. I'll
try
to have
these
tarballed GPG'd and uploaded within
the next 24 hours. Will let you know if I have any issues.
billymg: i've been so lost in corporate world
these past few years it's all i know, and vow not
to make
the same mistake once i jump
the fence
ericbot: Logged on 2019-10-08 00:14:45 mp_en_viaje: "not
talking
to many people you don't know ~= suicide" might've been more productive a lesson.
lobbes: But
this is faulty reasoning; e.g. mp_en_viaje sure as fuck didn't like Argentina yet knew
that place inside and out (which is how he even came

ericbot: Logged on 2019-10-10 07:48:20 mp_en_viaje: ownership of a place is a
thing.
lobbes: pretty lulzy re: keycard BingoBoingo. Good
thing you grabbed irons indeed
BingoBoingo going over local contract law again.

billymg: it would still be nice
to get a copy of some of
the directories on my old rk if i'm not
too late
billymg: BingoBoingo: i
took a snapshot of my blog db when piz briefly came back after
the unexpected outage, and i have local copies of my patches (i see diana_coman mirrored
the mp-wp patches, but i also have
the mp-wp-tests patches)
BingoBoingo: "Yes, despite paying for powered rack... Running machines
that may become surprise uncooled when
they don't even network access is a great risk/reward calculation.
BingoBoingo: Also not a necessary leaving
tell when people other
than HVAC folk were seen
trying
to fix HVAC crisis. It's a natural equipment preservation move.
BingoBoingo: Anyways. Having everything but
the one switch powered down when
the network doesn't work seems like
the only sane response
to walking into
the Monday Air conditioner disaster.
BingoBoingo: Empty humans box during business hours has been
the exception in
the past. Consistently seeing it when never seeing it before...
BingoBoingo: But
the lack of anyone in
the humans box seems
to be a strong "less
than skeleton/prize crew at
the helm" situation
BingoBoingo: And yet I was in
the rack last night many hours after
the wheeling out.
BingoBoingo: But during
the conversation never said anything definitive as
to my future operations rather
than my clients'operations, but did emphasize
the difficulty of continuing as is.
This may have baited
the keycard.
BingoBoingo: mp_en_viaje: I would have
thought first batch of wheeling would have, but apparently neither receptionist cared
that day nor does anyone appear
to mid
the security cameras at
the enterance.
BingoBoingo: But never worked for
the honest wheels door
BingoBoingo: mp_en_viaje: Yesterday I had
to use
the service enterance because wheels.
mp_en_viaje: wait, walked you out ? i
thought
the keycard
thingee just quit
BingoBoingo: mp_en_viaje: Not outside
the realm of possibility, but yes. Would be surprising.
Then again
there was no one in
the glass humans box yesterday at an hour 1. Well after local lunch hour and a half concludes 2. Well before local workday concludes. Fellow who walked me out had
to come from one of
the
two other datacenters (the other
two are under different S.A. corp for Freezone purposes, maybe more solvent?)
ericbot: Logged on 2019-10-10 08:29:13 mp_en_viaje: i can't even be arsed
to distinguish whether it's
the case
that some weirdo is in fact SO weird as
to actually have an xray machine, microscopes etcetera but 0 boxes, or rather
the case some fifteen yo is just
talking along with
the crowd, a sort of [][zelig], becoming overweight when
talking
to overweight people about
their obexsity and growing a beard when hanging out with rabbis.
BingoBoingo: Anyways, despite
the signs of unwellness, it would still be surprising if I don't have access because
they don't have access either.
BingoBoingo: "Colocates servers, why wouldn't he hire a 'fletes'
to do
the manual labor?"
BingoBoingo: Anyways, I'm pretty sure even
though I wheeled out servers with a hand
truck earlier, doing so yesterday while someone was paying attention... was probably a shock. Especially in light of
the pseudo-classism
thing
that goes in in
this part of
the world.
BingoBoingo: The sutures holding my scrotum
to
this horse feel substantially less
tight
than
they did even
this morning.
BingoBoingo: Also visited
the commercial shippers
today. Going
to have
to get my own boxes and will probably be headed
to
the networking hardware store
tomorrow
to see what
they got.
BingoBoingo: Aite. Will play dumb and let
them accumulate breaches.
BingoBoingo: Anyways, after
taking care of some other
things Imma draft a "Let's get
this liability of a contract off both of our books and cleanly and inexpensively as possible" letter. Will not fire off without getting some reads here of
the draft.
BingoBoingo: Anyways,
they've captured 1. weird switch any prospective or current customers are going
to "brand fag" about being offered 2. Commodity switch already plentiful on local market 3. some single board computers 4. rails, cables, and other shit it would have been nice for
them
to have Jan/Feb 2018!!!
BingoBoingo: Seriously. Glad I didn't warn
then before wheeling out
the last 1Us. Still between
then and
this afternoon's visit
to SWEEP AND CLEAN while packing... I was still able
to get in last night. WTF sort of delay is
that.
mp_en_viaje: ahahaah
they actually stoled it ? good
thing you got
the shit out
BingoBoingo: ATTN ALL: Latecho has silently disabled my access
to
the datacenter. All
that remains in
the rack per my last survey are 1. Switch for
the incoming connection 2. less sophisticated switch serving RK plant 3. RK plant (minus drives) 4. Rails 5. A small mountain of network and power cables 6. Many Racknuts, mostly unsused 7. One platic
tote box, empty
mp_en_viaje: just say !!up
to deedbot in pm and
then !!v
the otp it gives you
crowncloud_: let me see, I'll have a chat with my boss and see how it goes, I'll drop a reply
to
the email ? or ?
diana_coman: mp_en_viaje: and yes, irc isp suite would have been great; I'm quite sure it would have made my search way more fruitful
too really.
diana_coman: mp_en_viaje: now you released
the
trackbacks and feedbot is foaming with
them, lolz
diana_coman: crowncloud_: as mp_en_viaje says, in
time you could bridge
this over with custom software
too but for
the moment just a person
to do
the bridging (or 2-3 on shifts, whatever); you know what'd work
mp_en_viaje: the pizarro irc isp suite'd have been quite useful right now, "here, use
this"
mp_en_viaje: not like pizarro wrote itself one, for all
the aferations of intensive care etc.
crowncloud_: na nothing against IRC really, its just
that
the panel handles it all for us, bills are auto-generated on
the due date, support alerts go
to all members so everyone on-shift is alerted of whatever issue etc so
they can all provide you updates as we get
them from
the datacenter side
diana_coman: crowncloud_: basically establish a presence on irc
too,
they'll probably even
train up while at it, if anything.
diana_coman: crowncloud_: and I get what you say re mixed, not like I didn't
talk
to...ahem, quite a lot of isp employees
those days.
diana_coman: crowncloud_:
that was my email, lol; it won't really work for everyone anyway; and really, what's against irc? it's ok, we don't bite
the unexperienced.
BingoBoingo: And by "much of
their staff" I mean my point man with a good head.
crowncloud_: the same ID
to/from which you sent us an email earlier
today ?
BingoBoingo: crowncloud_: I understand
that. Last datacenter had much of
their staff disappear sometime after 8 September
this year.
crowncloud_: Yup -- just
trying
to see how
to make it best possible, because I don't want
to leave anyone hanging for support and at
the same
time, for billing as well. I don't usually want staff
to interact with customers as it leads
to a very "mixed" of experience
BingoBoingo: crowncloud_: In my experience serving
these clients
they practicly support
themselves most of
the
time. Very
tech literate.
The few
things
they ask however,
they need.
mp_en_viaje: it's not really gonna work
to
try and get
the republic on website.
diana_coman: so
they can escalate it internally in any way;
the point is: one contact here and
then
that contact can escalate and do whatever in your system
crowncloud_: hmm issue is, not all staff have access
to
the datacenter stuff (for security reasons) so
there's a internal escilation for such
tasks via support
tickets
diana_coman: crowncloud_:
they can come online
too, no? have
them reg a key each and leave a znc on, what
crowncloud_: let me see -- i mean, for support etc as well, it would be very useful if via
the client area, because we have different staff on rotating shifts, so someone or
the other would be available
to help you out rather
than waiting for me
to come online :P
crowncloud_: just checking into invoicing via deedbot -- we usually handle support/invoicing etc all via our client area (helps keep
track of invoices/updates
the customer on any network maintanence etc)

diana_coman: this is how ossasepia is moving
to
the US, pfft.
diana_coman: speaking of which: crowncloud_ I'll
take
that intel in atlanta whatevers, I need my blog up; put centos 6 on it and invoice me via deedbot.
diana_coman: mp_en_viaje: well, in
the end
the london guy wasted my morning; after which I have 2 people actually showing up; what can I say.
ossabot: Logged on 2019-10-10 09:41:58 diana_coman: and after all
the
time-wasting, london-guy fails; at least it's consistent with expectations.
