asciilifeform: ( full thrd in #o , for anyone else requiring this item ; tho iirc no one but diana_coman & asciilifeform used )
asciilifeform: update re that gentoo : appears to meet req ; will deed updated recipe after item fully put through paces on diana_coman's side .
asciilifeform: e.g. the logger, already transitioned from 'hold-up wall' to 'wall', ideally erry useful product similar.
asciilifeform: cuz 'builder holds up walls' is retarded.
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: aside from 'help diana_coman get smg despite isp lost at sea' in general , not being a latech, asciilifeform wants to make proper 'walls', rather than ' asciilifeform holds up the wall ' walls. in the spirit of 'publish fg schems' etc.
asciilifeform finally fixed that gentoo, and while it uploads to snail box...
asciilifeform: well mp_en_viaje works on bringin' back kings, i'ma meanwhile this. brb, sawing apart testbed.
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: in evil-saboteur-craftsman guild, we have this custom. not done yet tho, apparently even this recipe contains mistake. currently vivisecting.
asciilifeform: 'if your infrastructure team have been designed a more robust security solution, that why the only solution that we found, was send your IPs to a black hole' << reads like fucking pinoy tards
asciilifeform: dun rely on 1 d00d w/ short life expectancy , like on phf. the instructions are there, and are to be used.
asciilifeform: btw i agree w/ mp_en_viaje's larger pt, if folx dun get up off arse and ~use~ asciilifeform's published instructions to actually replicate his 'magical' irons -- then yes will die of bolix plague !
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: loox like hooligan might be sending forced tcp close in 'your' ip .
asciilifeform: diana_coman: it was brought up and i'm answerable for it, by oath.
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: you've the compl. pcb masks etc. , anyone with basic 10 grade education can make FG .
asciilifeform: if mp_en_viaje , diana_coman , et al, ran the risk/roi calculation and it only came out in favour of FG vs. intel rng because thought that piz could never die or that iron can be teleported , but w/ dead piz and realization that cannot be teleported -- goes other way, then so wills allah -- but asciilifeform objects to the accusation of 'scam'. erryone knew for what signed up.
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: i was commenting primarily re the 'opteron', to point that you do not in fact ~must~ ('scammed by evil craftsman') use the particular machine ! can use 9000 diff machines. simply bother to inspect for physical space 1st.
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: again, if 'customization is dangerous b/c may end up having to physically ship irons rather than lease 'amazon'' then yes. but you knew this going into FG. but the implication that 'he scammed me into building FG' is disingenuous, FG built before piz, w/ mp_en_viaje's expert judgement & consent, and at no pt was there problem in supplying mp_en_viaje or 50+ other folx w/ it on sched.
asciilifeform: diana_coman: the config as given is amdistic correct.
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: the 'specified' describes strictly asciilifeform's judged machine. it is not anywhere proclaimed that 'must ONLY' on such machine. i've FG plugged into a toshiba 586 here.
asciilifeform: what type of machine mp_en_viaje et al use, is b/w him and odin. and i object to the implication that 'scammed' him into using particular type that is 'magically sauced'. at any pt mp_en_viaje was free to reject asciilifeform's rec and demand a different type.
asciilifeform: diana_coman: if intel then recompile . if amd, will run as given.
asciilifeform: evidently i bungled even this doc. ( what other docs that i published, apparently made 0 sense ? )
asciilifeform: diana_coman: nope. all you need is a box with empty space, for instance ~any 2u.
asciilifeform: cuz asciilifeform too stupid to run a piz. but can have all the parts you need, w/ worldwide deliv, at cost.
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: (very good flame, btw, the arms pic, i've no counter) but you haven't actually been 'fucked over by craftsmen' yet re FG, not only asciilifeform can make for you as many FG as you want, but so can successors, item is 100% documented.
asciilifeform: i'm not even making a joke against mp , perhaps he's right that somewhere there lives the hero with 8 hands who can do all of this on spec.
asciilifeform: oh and of course visit it erry coupla days, clean it, put in os for people, etc.
asciilifeform: trinque: all you'd have to do, is convert arbitrary tonnage of btc to usd, pick an' lease a rack, fill it with irons, y'know, replace asciilifeform and the other charlatans who previously did this.
asciilifeform: 'the customer', BingoBoingo , 'is always right'(tm)(r) .
asciilifeform: i've had a certain piece of shit running there for 5y, lobbes . and it stayed up 24/7/365.
asciilifeform: iirc it even knows how to eat btc ( tho ftr i never once considered to try )
asciilifeform: if one dun give a damn whether to live in a public toilet, it's ~the~ public toilet.
asciilifeform: lulazon , for all that i spit on it, worx. like a well-cleaned airport toilet in munich .
asciilifeform: btw just as mp_en_viaje said 'orc dc is at least just as terrible, turns out, as usa dc' i'm quite convinced that 'lease rando box from turks' aint any 'cleaner' than 'ask asciilifeform for lulazon aws in 15min'
asciilifeform: lobbes: that'd be (see thread) lulazon.
asciilifeform: right-NAO! can only be done via diana_coman's method .
asciilifeform: also, BingoBoingo , even if he had asked for the rack, we cannot teleport the boxen, it wouldnot satisfy the 'omfg want uy1 NAO!!' req.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i dun force-feed people , it dun work.
asciilifeform: they have an entire shitfarm not far from here. aint even seekrit anymoar where.
asciilifeform: it's squeezed out the actual-people rack-a-box biz.
asciilifeform: lobbes: 100% of dc in asciilifeform's immediate 50km radius, nao host ~just~ lulazon.
asciilifeform: an' it's sold by the pound. interchangeable, predictable, exactly like 'serious biz' folx luvv so Much.
asciilifeform: it's the logical conclusion of JustWantage.
asciilifeform: the people who 'Just Want'(tm)(r) 'a box, 24/7, dun want to swap raid disks, or keep a greasy asciilifeform around to voltage test ps' etc. are all nao in 'cloud'.
asciilifeform: lobbes: the usa hosters that deal w/ humans, are pretty starved for biz & eagertoplease. they're dying under lulazon and other 'i can't believe it ain't hosting!'
asciilifeform: it's a wonder, BingoBoingo , that anyone came to piz. did they just take pity on us rubes or wat.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: maybe FG also just a fashion accessory. whocares whether installed, aha.
