mod6: wait, are you talking "physically steal a box" ?
asciilifeform: why would he limit to 1 ? what, it has to be carried out under his coat??
mod6: As enemy, I may want 'em all, but I'd take one if I could.
asciilifeform: picture yourself in enemy's position; when would you want to steal 1 box, but not e.g. 20 ?
mod6: aha. so thats why i came to "silly" conclusion. they'll just send 'em anyway so w/e.
asciilifeform: naively could say something like 'it's a dell 1950, and obummer will know to send the dell 1950 magicpacket' but consider, he will send all possible magicks anyway, because wainot
mod6: Thinking clever person & log reader could discern which box belongs to whom by process of elimiation. Then depending on make/models, could try to dig up exploits.
asciilifeform: mod6: try as i might, i can't picture how a photo would help to exploit yer box ( aside from the 'tells enemy which rack to dynamite' aspect, but mp_en_viaje addressed that one earlier )
mod6: It's non-critical infrastructure. And would probably help BBISP, more than it would hurt the foundation, even if exploited.
mod6: <+mp_en_viaje> if your box is remotely exploitable by photograph... << Well, thinking it all the way through, I guess it's a bit over the top. My first, kneejerk reaction is "fuck that. no pics." But ya, that may be silly.
mp_en_viaje: and with this ill bl!
mp_en_viaje: yeee. keep your cool, most common moment for things to be fucked up is upon first success. ☟︎
BingoBoingo: tyvm for the well wishes, congratulations, and continuing instructions.
mp_en_viaje: but be that as it may : emmylark is remotely exploited currently. evidently exploitABLE.
mp_en_viaje: mod6, buncha girls did not get appreciably damaged from having numbers on their tits...
mp_en_viaje: this is the priority nao, get the rack filled proper with actualy used and useful boxen, not bogged down with scar tissue
mod6: I may yet reconsider on the pictures thing.
mod6: BingoBoingo: gn! good job getting that stuff up and going.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> mp_en_viaje: there was a thread, while back, re physically-compact, low-wattage machines as a sane alternative to cloudism. can't seem to find it in log << The 8 PCengines to 1U recipe would still be appreciated. Especially if someone can bake them and move them... ( danielpbarron?)
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: there was a thread, while back, re physically-compact, low-wattage machines as a sane alternative to cloudism. can't seem to find it in log
BingoBoingo voy a dormir. All ideas for filling ipv4 space are appreciated. And no, Lacnic has already declared making a bunch of http sites each sitting on its own ip insufficient to declare space exhausted when http vhost can be done.
asciilifeform: incidentally i also have a working example of the http://www.loper-os.org/?p=1644 box, which so happens is 1u high and tops my current list of 'pogolike but still in production'
mp_en_viaje: what is the problem that is being approached anyway ? i thought the tower thing was mostly from a "see rack is sized so" / art instllation perspective
asciilifeform: incl. at least 1 with the serial port
mp_en_viaje: we also have a pile of them with danielpbarron iirc.
mp_en_viaje: i still have them
asciilifeform: last i knew , mp_en_viaje had the complete crate , i dun recall any mention of throwing out
a111: Logged on 2018-02-01 21:24 phf: diana_coman: ty, i'll try wiring it in, and keep you posted. i assume ada<>c interop is pretty straightforward, though i won't have a chance to try until later next week. suddenly busy
mp_en_viaje: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-02-01#1779163 << the theory is that very smooth, object files can be linked together directly. the testing of this theory is the most valuable part of trying it early. ☝︎☟︎
BingoBoingo: I though those were all jetisoned in argentina?
asciilifeform: ( this is not even entirely in jest: a considerable quantity of pogo could fit in a 2u vertical )
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Prolly old beater tower. Fits in with the neighboring cages, and at the moment we have the space.
BingoBoingo: I may end up buying a consumer tower box to throw in the cage for a photo session and burn more ips.
a111: Logged on 2018-02-01 15:57 asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: be sure to use trb with sync sanity, cuts sync time from 6+months to coupla weeks at worst
BingoBoingo: Has to look very.legit.interwebz
mp_en_viaje is amused reborn qntra's first comment is from liek, bogota, columbia. history in the makings!
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: They are getting wrote back after I fill ALL the ips. Hopefully this weekend
mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform, nothing wrong with giving it a little time ; his plan is sound, spin up some shit first.
mp_en_viaje: but let's not let the praise fall by the wayside just because every successful step opens up so more further steps : nice bb! qntra back on huh! ☟︎
mp_en_viaje: mod6, aite. bbisp lives to please its cusomter.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: From before I got the keys
asciilifeform: or is this from before BingoBoingo got the keys to the cage
BingoBoingo: Needless to say I will be spinning up plenty of virtual boxen and testing cloud platforms
BingoBoingo: We have a /26 to fill in very.legit.manner and short order before LACNIC will assign a /24 because of scarcity. LACNIC's response to my first application: http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/xW6LS/?raw=true
asciilifeform: don't be ashamed of the old microvax, lol
mod6: <+mp_en_viaje> BingoBoingo, seriouasly, form the mental habit. pics and blog. << Hey all good as long as you don't take pics of the foundations boxen.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: iirc the ip is temporary ? ( the proper block of ips not yet obtained ? )
a111: Logged on 2018-02-01 14:20 BingoBoingo: !~later tell mircea_popescu Qntra.net online at 161.0.121.253 pls to get the domain repointed, ISP statement incoming.
mp_en_viaje: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-02-01#1779082 << a cool. can't do this from here, so will be weekendish. but the important details are missing, such as what software did you eventually pick to manage your cloud and so on. ☝︎
asciilifeform: hey BingoBoingo are you ready to birth formal quotes ?
mp_en_viaje: scattered bits around that week too iirc.
asciilifeform: aa there it is.
a111: Logged on 2017-10-22 05:23 mircea_popescu: after the first year your machines are amortized and your downline built, so you're looking at some decent net margin. before the first year you're burdened by the capital costs and stuck with low occupancy, so you bleed cash.
asciilifeform: right. but somehow failing to unearth, currently
mp_en_viaje: recall, we were discussing the two ways to do this, either tack on or fixed percent.
asciilifeform: iirc BingoBoingo's numbers in the above were pre-margin tho
mp_en_viaje: so you divide what you want out of the total, add the margin and have a fine idea.
mp_en_viaje: we're paying iirc 900 for the rack, you want a unit it's 900/40*2
mp_en_viaje: don;'t be silly, the numbers are in the log.
asciilifeform: the concrete cost of e.g. 'i want to emplace 1U and get 500kB/s in/out'
mp_en_viaje: a good time to say "i want five plox" was you know, when we were specifying it ; but still perfectly available.
mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform, evidently whosoever wants to buy fixed bw can ; whosoever does not want to so buy gets wat they get.
asciilifeform: another item, BingoBoingo : to specify what bw each box gets. ( is it 1/42 of the pipe ? 1/nth where n is number of occupants ? the latter is somewhat unpleasantly comcastlike, imho . which is it )
mp_en_viaje: BingoBoingo, seriouasly, form the mental habit. pics and blog.
mp_en_viaje: rather than upon prodding.
a111: Logged on 2018-02-02 00:30 mp_en_viaje: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-02-01#1779056 <<< this, for the record, is a question ~TO BE ANSWERED BY PICTURES BEFORE IT IS ASKED~.
mp_en_viaje: and finally -- mp's castle is owned by mp outright. bb has investors ; makes claims to those investors, benefits IMMENSELY from implementing http://btcbase.org/log/2018-02-02#1779188 ☝︎
asciilifeform: naah BingoBoingo , take the kind mp_en_viaje described
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> the analogous BingoBoingo pic would be if he took one while standing inside the rack, like in phone booth << I will pick up a tower box here locally, set it in the cage and take this pic. The thing is deep.
mp_en_viaje: incredible supply of these, by the way. nfi what the fuck is going on in plebe head, but apparently THIS is very much what they mean by "participation" in public affairs.
asciilifeform can picture this
mp_en_viaje: "we would like to do the thing you do in your way as to the marzipan and in our way as to the fucking plox"
mp_en_viaje: because i don't want a throng of poor but stupid women begging in my driveway.
asciilifeform: but it does raise the question of why not also 'here is castle mp, come and get'
asciilifeform: no, i'm sold, i get the idea , 'nyahaha, come and get it'
asciilifeform: the analogous BingoBoingo pic would be if he took one while standing inside the rack, like in phone booth
mp_en_viaje: nevertheless, as to the other score : tmsr isp is not some exercise in little boy fantasy wank
mp_en_viaje: this is alfism nonsense, whatever is said "that is only the X".
asciilifeform: where's the 1 showing the turrets.
asciilifeform: eh that's only inside
mp_en_viaje: that's just how the cost/benefit works out.
mp_en_viaje: woman's concern that she could be raped is to be addressed through impaling would'be rapists. NOT through "not publishing pubenda".
mp_en_viaje: woman is to go around naked, not dressed. this because the positive she gets from the advertising of her sexual characteristics sums an epsilon over as large a crowd is exposed (this is a pantsuit rendition ; the correct statement is that her chances to score mp depend on exposure)
asciilifeform: ( if there's nothing to be lost by posting it... i bet it's quite a sight, why then not posted )
asciilifeform: where's the photo of castle popescustein then
mp_en_viaje: dja understand the fundamental principle at work ?
mp_en_viaje: the benefit is the long tail and to be accrued ; the supposed disadvantage is not and to be defended in other ways.
mp_en_viaje: why so sluggish with this whole "i am an actual person, i behave like an actual person, to the humiliating, painfully evident difference from subhuman idcard carriers" ?
asciilifeform: ( makes life too easy for nosy parkers )
a111: Logged on 2018-02-01 00:33 asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: what exactly do the digs look like ? cage with own door ? or just rack ? or how
mp_en_viaje: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-02-01#1779056 <<< this, for the record, is a question ~TO BE ANSWERED BY PICTURES BEFORE IT IS ASKED~. ☝︎☟︎
a111: Logged on 2018-02-01 00:30 BingoBoingo: Hello, machines screwed in. Need to return in the morning to figure out what stupid mistake I made configuring the switch/router. Long night of reading sample configs ahead.
mp_en_viaje: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-02-01#1779055 << lel. tmsr-cisco cert. ☝︎
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: if it's supposed to already resolve on heathendns , it dun yet
a111: Logged on 2018-02-01 00:19 trinque: nginx went the venture capital route at some point, gotta justify the rounds
mp_en_viaje: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-02-01#1779049 <<< word. nginx was impressive a year or two after it came out ; then it regressed to the mean at the usual speed (slowly but discernibly at first, "women in tech" level past few years) ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2018-01-31 23:06 ben_vulpes: or hm i guess the nick i picked was bv_is_a_scammer
diana_coman: phf, ada<->C interop was quite straightforward last time I tried it, didn't take much at all; you'll need to add a few exports iirc
phf: diana_coman: ty, i'll try wiring it in, and keep you posted. i assume ada<>c interop is pretty straightforward, though i won't have a chance to try until later next week. suddenly busy ☟︎
asciilifeform: ( it is imho unlikely that anyone will demonstrate an rsatron with fewer moving parts than ffa-ch5 )
