mp_en_viaje: but
that don't mean my eyes will soon be
turning red...
diana_coman: trackbacks while walking
through
the forest
mp_en_viaje: as it
turns out, no, just spyked sent a buncha
trackbacks
mp_en_viaje: so i log into
trilema after a coupla days of walking
through forests etc, and i find... 58 comments in queue. so im like wtf, fucking hell,
the spam
thing finally croaked.
diana_coman: was
there anyone close
to either LA or Atlanta? apparently
that's where crowncloud_ has datacenter space for colo.
deedbot: diana_coman rated Metronix 2 << Indonesian ISP with 10 years close connection
to local ISP; can invoice via deedbot; currently out of capacity for colo.
mp_en_viaje: i wonder why archive doesn't load for him, incidentally. it loads for you hmmm wtf happened
to diana coman
BingoBoingo: Most of
the boxe's power ended up simply being a sort of "fleet in being" reserve.
mp_en_viaje: makes one feel pretty good just like
that.
mp_en_viaje: speaking of which, man
this penthouse apt is nice. best view of frankfurt, i had forgotten how pleasant
these superlative views from on
top of
the city are.
mp_en_viaje: fwiw it was iirc <10% used anyway, so not
the end of
the world.
crowncloud_: any idea how much RAM was used of
that 128G ?
crowncloud_: Hmm, let me check what can come close
to
that config
mp_en_viaje: obviously
the last point is a bridge
too far for england, but
the rest :D
mp_en_viaje: UY1: » 128 GB ECC RAM » 2x 16-core AMD Opteron 6376 (2.3 GHz) (32 Cores) » Reserved Space, Just for you on a 1.7
TB RAID 10 Array composed of Samsung Solid State Drives » Apache, MySQL, PHP 5.6 » Located in safe and politically stable Montevideo, Uruguay outside of NATO or other belligerent states
mp_en_viaje: crowncloud_,
that's weird. ok, lemme see here
diana_coman: !!rate Metronix 2 Indonesian ISP with 10 years close connection
to local ISP; can invoice via deedbot; currently out of capacity for colo.
crowncloud_: This site can’t be reached / archive.is refused
to connect.
BingoBoingo: mp_en_viaje: I'll just
throw a BTC node on it and maybe keep it if it doesn't suck.
mp_en_viaje: BingoBoingo, aite. ill cover w/e you paid, lump it with
the drive incinerations and w/e else such odds and ends.
BingoBoingo: mp_en_viaje: You can have him go ahead. I pulled
the
trigger on
the purchase, but haven't done setup yet. It's one of
those fast delivery CentOS
things, hard
to
tell if actual physical box or virtualized cheat box. It's an "any" box. If
this service has a guy
to show up, its a better option
crowncloud_: what was
the configuration of
the previous server?
mp_en_viaje: ok, so our uruguay dc just imploded, and
there's some stuff
to relocate asap seeing how whatever, people's blogs are offline
diana_coman hasn't yet got around
to rate crowncloud_ ; will do
mp_en_viaje: BingoBoingo_, did you get a
thing going for shared clone yet ? or should i just get
this guy
to provide a box ?
mp_en_viaje cuts
through
thick wall of latertold drama
to emerge on
to business.
diana_coman: so
tbh I
think I'll get one
to get my blog online already
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.
diana_coman: I got an australian-with-dc-partner-in-US
to register with deedbot
diana_coman: asciilifeform: mind answering in #o for a bit;
there's an indonesian isp guy
that might do some work.
ericbot: Logged on 2019-10-10 08:11:09 mp_en_viaje: you're not fucking useful. learn
to be useful or get
the fuck lost, it can't be any plainer
than
that.

lobbesbot: asciilifeform:
The operation succeeded.
diana_coman: they claim
they accept payment via bitcoin
to direct address
though so if anyone wants
their details, let me know;
their datacentre is in London but I won't have anything further
to do with
them.
diana_coman: and after all
the
time-wasting, london-guy fails; at least it's consistent with expectations.
ossabot: Logged on 2019-10-10 01:46:59 lobbes: I mean
to say above: do you want
the links appearing in
the log lines
to be enclosed in <a href>
tags
mp_en_viaje: but also, LOTS of fucking crashing on
the autobahn,
this'd be
the 3 major in a piddly 500 mile stretch we did so far. i'd guess half a dozen dead
total,
too.
mp_en_viaje: in fairness, zee germans are a pleasure
to be stuck in a stau with, such as it is. literally 1k semis orderly
to
the side of
the road so light
traffic can make it
through,
these folk are fuckien dsciplined.
diana_coman: how was it? "flawless" -
that
thing
that never works
that well irl
mp_en_viaje: who knows how
the fuck do go about anything ;/
diana_coman: apparently
the london guy is asking for a rider
too, pretty much.
mp_en_viaje: in any case, it
turns out radio links don't work so well
throyugh major
traffic jams .meanwhile satlinks don't work so great in
thick cloud cover such as can be had in autumnal fulda gap.
mp_en_viaje: aand multi-km worth of
trucks
traffic jam, ftw. i betcha someone crashed.
mp_en_viaje: well, it's easy enough
to bounce back in, but yes, spessart forest kicks butt as a forest, but not
the greatest for signl
diana_coman: well, I'm still
trying here
to get on
top of
the logs but between emails/isps/ixps lists & all
that, it's not going
that fast and I'm not even in
the forest.
mp_en_viaje: well, it's easy enough
to bounce back in, but yes, spessart forest kicks butt as a forest, but not
the greatest for signl
diana_coman: apparently it occasionally kicks
the can
too, lolz.
mp_en_viaje: this logging in
the car business kicks ass.
mp_en_viaje: i don't need it, seeing how selection mechanism, but i certainly won't make you rip it out. besides, perhaps more convenient for peeps used
to it.
ossabot: Logged on 2019-10-10 01:41:28 lobbes: mp_en_viaje: I meant
to ask earlier, do you want
the logged lines on
the blog
to be linkable ala
the standard logger?
diana_coman: there are some guys from
the netherlands
too who were very humbly apologizing
that
they can't do it; at least not obnoxious like south koreans I suppose; but anyway,
this is better on a blog for sure.

trinque: at any rate, I don't
take pleasure in pissing on failure. it's a weakness I have, so lets leave it at
that.
diana_coman: and I
think he
took me for some swiss coman shmidt diana academic, lol
diana_coman: but let's see if
this works out because so far he's still deluded on some aspects
diana_coman: mp_en_viaje: I'm amassing here a long list of stuff
to report, myeah
mp_en_viaje: excellent inaugural of new host, "my shit got fucked here's what i did about it", come
to
thinl of it.
mp_en_viaje: diana_coman, report on blog later
too i imagine ?
ossabot: Logged on 2019-10-10 00:02:27 BingoBoingo: "Server for sale, in Uruguay" seems like
the Pizarro version of "Baby shoes, never worn"
diana_coman: and I was just finishing
the bashing-email, now need
to
tweak a bit; because he still has funny ideas.
diana_coman: o.O meanwhile london-based director "looked up who I am" and
thinks it might be possible
mp_en_viaje: people fish with
the water not being flat, notwithstanding bumpy lens surface is hardly worth using.
mp_en_viaje: the fundamental problem is
that polishing a lens until it's flawless is hard but attainable ; but polishing a fishery until
the water's perfectly flat is NOT attainable.
mp_en_viaje: perhaps because failing early is how he managed
to get away from it and move back
to
the other lobe as a child, or for any other reason.
ossabot: Logged on 2019-08-14 03:52:49 mp_en_viaje: it's not
there because it was designed ; it's
there because it was selected, which is a different
thing. selection
produces things that work, definitionally,
that's what it is. not well or correctly or properly but AT ALL.
mp_en_viaje: the problem is
that most of life consists of dealing with born, not made systems and structures.
selected not designed. and in dealing with
that, he is
TERRIBLE. he's not even at
the level of a 3yo, which'd be complete martian naivite. he's in fact numerously and profoundly counter-trained, he does
things
that specifically ensure failure.
mp_en_viaje: whioch isn't even universally a bad approach, most
tools are
to be made
to
the flawless standard. which is why when he's in
there gunsmithing his gun, he
turns out very good work.

trinque: BingoBoingo: man I hardly
think perfect's
the word here. it literally means complete!
ossabot: Logged on 2016-12-01 15:37:35 mircea_popescu: A student
told his friend, "My
teacher has amazing powers. He moves a pen in
the air and characters appear on a piece of paper held on
the other side of
the river. What does your master do?" His friend replied "My great master follows Zen. When he is hungry, he eats and when he is
tired he sleeps."
mp_en_viaje: ys of his
toe jam instead of getting his business of
the ground, because, you see,
THEY GAS PEOPLE!!!
mp_en_viaje: in
this alt-world he's a moron-hero who can't as much as leave
the house but
is besieged by armed hordes nevertheless. so you can't say
that he's wasting his
time watching a
termometer
instead of eating, because
there's snipers on every roof! and you can't laugh at him fucking with xra
mp_en_viaje: then after it passed it becomes
this perpetual self-reference basis, and who knows, maybe everyone's dumb enough
to actually start
taking it seriously seeing how it got repeated over and over again after having not been laughed out of court outright.

trinque: speaking of larping, what's
this "gassed"
thing?
ossabot: Logged on 2019-10-09 23:49:24 BingoBoingo: and not limit
the search
to Vienna, Warsaw, and Anatolia simply because more civilization survives
there
than apparently anywhere else.
ossabot: Logged on 2019-10-09 23:48:44 BingoBoingo: has pulled
the
trigger on a heathenbox. Hopefully will get
to setting it up soon.

ossabot: Logged on 2019-10-09 22:42:09 asciilifeform: when uy1 was suspected of overheat, had its
thermometer displayed also where could see it, even when eating.
ossabot: Logged on 2019-10-09 09:19:28 mp_en_viaje: stop confusing cause and effect, stop looking up
the wrong name server roots, stop minimaxing randomly about, it's
the stuff of insanity.
ossabot: Logged on 2019-10-09 23:02:01
trinque: anyhow
that copy I wrote for your wacky larping index page never went up. I don't beg my way into other people's struggling businesses.
mp_en_viaje: precisely and exactly and
the problem is, most people don't understand anything
therefore
the rake's still
there
to step on. over, and over, and over again.
mp_en_viaje: except, of course, nobody fucking wanted it. but other
than
that -- yes.
mp_en_viaje: notwithstanding objectively
the milk was better, and
the only chocolare available better
than
the mode, and
the mean, let alone average chocolate available in "democracy", and in general yes, an "objective dollar" / pound of silver DID, indisputably, buy more in socialism
than "capitalism".
mp_en_viaje: and
then "inexplicably"
they just fucking ended. because, apparently, meaning is not independent of
the means
to meaning, and if you don't manage
to produce meaning you don't manage
to produce anything.
