diana_coman: BingoBoingo: fwiw I even emailed some brazilians, will see if/what
they reply.
diana_coman: asciilifeform: as I was saying, now I don't bother
to filter
them anymore;
they will filter
themselves, as above.
BingoBoingo:
http://archive.is/3nQJt << Argentina is fatwah'd and even more isolated
than Uruguay from an internet perspective, but here's what
they offer for 2U 10mbps burstable symmetric (LACNIC so IP address poor). If Gbps can reasonable be had in Baltimore...
diana_coman: in unexpected idiotic failures, monovm's automated system replies
to my email
to inform me
that
they won't look at it because I'm not registered with
them.
mp_en_viaje: i am interested in something like
that next
to someone who makes sense,
though.
mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform, it is not interesting
to me because well...
mp_en_viaje: capital is
to be deployed certain ways, not fucking randomly, neh ?
mp_en_viaje: and 30yo concert musician
to own, if not necessarily 100k worth of violin,
then definitely 100k worth of violin if HE PLAYS
THE VIOLIN, and
twice so if he has a collection of antique panflutes.
mp_en_viaje: i'd also expect 30yo boat-lifer
to own ~100k worth of boat. and 30yo golf pro
to own ~100k worth of golf gear.
mp_en_viaje: but no small part of why i
thought you had so and so is because you have others
thus and following. i expect
the man with 100k worth of car
to have 1k worth of gas, i expect
the man with egitheen slavegirls
to have 20+ rooms,
that sorta
thing
mp_en_viaje: anwyays. people judge likeliness by some sort of grille. mine comes pre-populated with sanity promoting assumptions
that are build
through interacting with business not with collectors. consequently, all sort of conclusions can be derived
that evidently do not bear out in practice.
mp_en_viaje: whatever. all
this begs
the question "how
the fuck did you get your inventory manager
to approve
this insanity of outlay". with
the self-obvious answer
that "i am said manager myself, and i am known for my managerial acumen"
mp_en_viaje: whatevers. my question will stand as "so you do not in fact own 100k worth of rackable severs, but you do own 20k worth of unrackable memorabilia, which you inexplicably misvalue at 5k for some reason
that's obviously
this conversation and
the outcomes yu want
to see from it".
mp_en_viaje: whole bolix, i
thought
that's more like 7k+
these days.
mp_en_viaje: multiple symbolics cpus, i
thought
those went for 2-3k ea.
mp_en_viaje: nevermind
that. if you put it on amazon
today you'd BIY for...
mp_en_viaje: yes, yes. but
the dollar value of said arguably useless or not useless pile of old junk you can't currently use would be...
mp_en_viaje: and
the market value of
this handful of cpus + working mchine comes
to ?
mp_en_viaje: do you or do you not currently posses and are
the owner of a number of cpus made by defunct symbolics co ; a number of pcbs made by defunct symbolics co ; a number of other just as useless paraphenalia made by just as defunct same co
mp_en_viaje: i
thought you had multiple chips + boards + other junk related.
mp_en_viaje: so let me get
this straight. you do not in fact own 100k worth of rackable motherboards + cpu assemblages ; but you do all
the while own ~20k worth of legacy symbolics hardware.
mp_en_viaje: so let me get
this straight. you do not in fact own 100k worth of rackable motherboards + cpu assemblages ; but you do all
the while own ~20k worth of legacy symbolics hardware.
mp_en_viaje: i also
thought you pulled
those from warehouse, myself.
mp_en_viaje: i suspect
the problem is your constant confusion between "could" and "did"
mp_en_viaje: anyway,
the proposition of buing new, off eggazon w/e,
to fill a rack significantly less appealing.
mp_en_viaje: i
thought you jsut bought shit because it was cheap / you liked it, in lieu of saving or w/e. nfi what
the fuck you're doing, i confess
the more i
talk
to you,
the less i understand.
mp_en_viaje: this'd have been excellent op
to recapitalize.
mp_en_viaje: aite, so if you're not in
the business of being in business, you're not, what can i
tell you.
mp_en_viaje: an earlier inventory could've saved me
the internal misrepresentation.
mp_en_viaje: you have
textile looms and period exhaust pipes from
the carbureted days of yore.
mp_en_viaje: so you're more of an electrician
than a computer scientist,
the bulk of your garbage
trove is in fact unrelated
to computing as such
mp_en_viaje: and
that
this pile, inter alia, is why you're stil lthe fuck
there in
the first place.
mp_en_viaje: yes, honestly, i had formed
the impression
that after years of perusing
the penny-to-dollar electronic surplus stores you amassed a large collection of perfectly serviceable parts,
that could in a pinch produce a cabinets worth of servers. i did.
mp_en_viaje: actually make it ~36 or so u long, so
there's some choice.
mp_en_viaje: and make a fucking inventory already, "alf's list of
the most-likelky-to-be-worth-racking 24 u items currently in his warehouse"
mp_en_viaje: or whoever lives
thereabouts and not yet beheaded ? afaik lobbes last head left attached.
mp_en_viaje: lobbes, can you help
this fellow out of paper bag ?
ericbot: Logged on 2019-10-09 20:14:01 asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: i dun know how
to
turn btc into us-cc.
mp_en_viaje: dude, i already said, wtf. <mp_en_viaje> get 24 u and a up
to gb for 5k/mo, put allthe iron you have in
there and
there you go.
mp_en_viaje: and so what is
the problem in getting it ?
mp_en_viaje: but i can't ever decide with you if miles gloriosus,
talks of gf as "pets", plural, because why not, boihood chorus, or genuine misrepresented fellow, has all sorta
things doesnt know how
to put
to work.
mp_en_viaje: this'd be a perfect opportunity
to put all
that
to work, also.
mp_en_viaje has no problem putting
the above on nsa's monthly report ; and if indeed all
the noises you make about having iron (that you "can't inventory" until "you dispose of
the garbage, cuz
totally,
that's how inventories are made, can't enumerate
the jewels for lack of having expelled
the piocket lint),
mp_en_viaje: you have
this very self-defeating way of being "conservative"
diana_coman: asciilifeform:
the way I see it is
that one wants 1 rack just like one wants own bathroom; ie not
to share.
mp_en_viaje: oh, so if it was your private one box
thing
then why in here lol
mp_en_viaje: if you can't
take it why even bother calling, what did you expect
they'd say, "19.95" ?
mp_en_viaje: 750/mo for rack + 5k for gbps pro rated is very reasonable an offer, i'd
take it.
mp_en_viaje: well looky, your conference call, inasmuch as it was predicated on "talk
to dc about my soda & 2 large popcorn budget" was a waste of your
time.
mp_en_viaje: get 24 u and a up
to gb for 5k/mo, put allthe iron you have in
there and
there you go.
mp_en_viaje: so ima send you one of nsa's coin, you
trade it for whatever 8k it's worth, and not pauper no more.
mp_en_viaje: would you pay 50/mo
to rent shelf in someone's bathroom or 400/month
to rent studio apt ?
mp_en_viaje: so i'd rather pay 20
than 3 for 8x
the space and
the ownership, what's difficult
to digest ?
mp_en_viaje: you have option of either paying 3 bux day for sharing into someone else's rack, while someone stands over and films you ; or else pay 20 bux per day
to own rack, which is 24u, ie 12times
the size, and lock it as your own.
