asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: contains, fwiw, a 'xeon' (intelism) 2x cpu. 2 5in. bays, some form of raid (will have to boot up if interested.)
BingoBoingo: Back massaged, brb from the rack when I get there if IPs were indeed released
mp_en_viaje: apparently this only works half the time, didn't see it before.
BingoBoingo: Anyways, Muscovite/Ottman Europe may or may not be the anti-Mandarin language retardation counter the world needs.
BingoBoingo: !q asciilifeform Were you going to pick up an "anyserver" to get the blogs back online or should I do it when I get back from basement mission?
BingoBoingo: But rearm who? The German folk from your description seem to require some rapid hardening.
mp_en_viaje: should be lulzy to see the anglo-franco-italian lulzchorus once that happens, as they couldn't possibly.
mp_en_viaje: will force germany to rearm.
BingoBoingo: Right. I wouldn't be surprised if Turkey/Russia end up sharing Europe.
mp_en_viaje: turkey evidently doesn't want to outright quit but wouldn't mind being expelled, then it can pretty much sell europe to the russians like a common whore, by the night or by the hour, by the hole or by the pair.
mp_en_viaje: lol, if they expel turkey they disintegrate, it can just about counter them alone.
BingoBoingo: Predictably the usual congress critters are calling for Turkey's NATO expulsion despite NATO fiatpapers not having any provisions for expulsion
BingoBoingo: Peeked, though headlines seem to be peaking. Trump ordered US to stop human shielding Kurds, informing minimum of personel in doing so before announcement. Now Turkey is doing their long desired Syria ops freely.
BingoBoingo returned from overdue grocery run. Peaked at headlines and feels incredibly handicapped with current Turkey/US/NATO/Trump lolz happening and Qntra dark. Going to the basement to check pipe. Sky and forecast are hinting rain so any extraction further extraction tonight is going to be limited to rails and cables/whatever fits under raincover
mp_en_viaje: regardless, http://trilema.com/2014/spamming-reddit-an-experiment/ still stands : by the time we're done, empire won't be able to distinguish its meatsacks from bots. end of story, let it send lobbesbot get-out-the-vote cards.
lobbes: well, then I need to make sure I'm on the performance end of the stick
mp_en_viaje: sure, at the rate we're so far going we'll have nothing never, but i'm not married to the crew, i'm married to performance.
mp_en_viaje: all the needful things that were supposed to have well been done by hand by now so we know how to code them by the sort of self-sufficient cocksuckers who won't do things for love or money still need to be done, and then once done automated, and so following.
mp_en_viaje: think about it, if clucker can "make website account", why exactly can't lobbesbot ? outside of "because lobbes hasn't written that part yet"
mp_en_viaje: but ultimately, the bot's supposed to count for a small to medium sized corp all by itself, do the job of 500 or so of the useless fuckheads calling themselves "employees" in pantsuitistan
ossabot: Logged on 2018-03-07 19:20:48 mircea_popescu: sooo... big deal, 1 sent girl to buy a bagful of phone numbers. they cost, no joke, $2.5 here. EXCEPT, of course, they want your "cedula", you know, "por activacion".
mp_en_viaje: nothing keeps you from having a simple !f nc f <25 bot for public usage except for your not having thought about it and me talking in a vacuum on trilema and in general. but the "system" was long ago raped wide open, all it needs is proper interfacing
mp_en_viaje: no, instead of interfacing with whatever idiotic pantsuit outfit via their website, you just do it through their bot they don't even have enough sense to have written themselves.
lobbes: So I agree now that 2020 delivery is, in fact, utterly insane. Fire has been lit under arse; I will kick this into higher gear
ericbot: Logged on 2019-10-09 19:13:37 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.
lobbes: http://logs.ericbenevides.com/log/trilema/2019-10-09#1943810 << I think I get this now, and it fits with the theme of today's logs of the republic *taking ownership of a space* before the orcs do their thing. In this instance, it is the blogification of irc, and if it takes until 2020 than we've already lost the plot of the job in the first place
ossabot: Logged on 2019-10-09 18:33:42 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.
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.
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: if i have to buy the hardware i'll simply lease whatever random dorks have ready and be done with it.
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.
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: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-10-09#1944082 << there
mp_en_viaje: i can't imagine you need my approval or for that matter oppinion for getting yourself a box. go, get, what.
diana_coman: done for today, will see what emails await me tomorrow.
diana_coman: ftr, if no human can be found, I'll lease a server in turkey and be done with it.
BingoBoingo brb, supply run to keep the biologics going
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.
asciilifeform: then can come back to subj.
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.
lobbesbot: BingoBoingo: The operation succeeded.
BingoBoingo: !Qlater tell trinque Backups have finished uploading to the deedbot server.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i spoke with their fuhrer. (monkey was unable to answer all) , fella explained that 'customer must throttle himself, we just bill'
asciilifeform: essentially same thing as 'if BingoBoingo on antel'
asciilifeform: they offload ddos filtration on the tenant.
asciilifeform: you can run it all day at Gb if you like, simply will pop when the bill comes.
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: 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.
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: 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.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: It doesn't. But we are going through a forced diversification movement anyways.
asciilifeform: not even mattering where is this cage.
asciilifeform: cuz to asciilifeform , does not.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: does idea of errybody in 1 cage again seem smart to you ?
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: my the lack of recourse against latecho is dwarfed by latecho and "dedicado"'s lack of recourse against centurylink.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i'll fall on whatever grenade , but only makes sense to do if it does some good.
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 .
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: At some point the queasyness has to be balanced against the opportunity to gain some leverage.
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)
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 e.g. racks, gotta be paid on time erry single time.
asciilifeform: diana_coman: i dun dispute that it's useful. but i do not know how to do it reliably.
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: ( or even trinque in trinqueistan )
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Or lobbes since lobbes does seem to be documenting his housecleaning efforts well.
asciilifeform: then we can get cabinet and a thick pipe etc.
asciilifeform: iirc trinque hungers day an' night for coin to buy.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: if e.g. trinque wants in, perhaps mp_en_viaje will consider.
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.
diana_coman: asciilifeform: so get them already.
asciilifeform: diana_coman: apparently i'm too stupid to ride properly.
asciilifeform: and to get good at riding.
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.
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.
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
diana_coman: asciilifeform: even replied to it http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-10-09#1943779
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) ?
asciilifeform: diana_coman: i assume you read the discussion re 'horse' ?
diana_coman: if it's not that, I can go anywhere for same thing,not worth all the time.
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: asciilifeform: I *am* asking them precisely that and nothing less.
asciilifeform: diana_coman: that's pretty good (rare) .
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.
BingoBoingo: diana_coman: Maxihost was pretty retarded with their formalism last time I searched in depth. Maybe someone else in Brasil is more responsive?
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 ?'
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.
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: see mp_en_viaje's point about the whore angela.
asciilifeform: imho there aint much point in putting inside usa if not asciilifeform , lobbes , trinque , can physically reach, usa is overpriced
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: 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.
asciilifeform swears on mpkoranbbq that he doesn't
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: apparently he also thought that i kept 15 spare piz's under my bed.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: if mp_en_viaje were interested, would. but he thinks asciilifeform is lunatic. so what'd be the use.
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: see, 'i would not, could not, in the zoo...'
diana_coman: asciilifeform: better email them too or something, there are so many, it's not like I can cover all anyway
asciilifeform: diana_coman: 'email errybody' is Right Thing
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Right. It's just if you set the bar low... You get Argentines outbidding themselves to be lowest
asciilifeform: diana_coman: i aint about to question your methods.
