mod6: Not committed or married
to
the idea, but I've been
trying
to
think about what I might want
to spend my
time on.
ossabot: Logged on 2019-10-08 17:45:48 asciilifeform: lobbes: speaking strictly for self -- 'quick' jobs are quick because
they (incl. 'fit problem in head' phase) can be fit into a single slot in b/w salt mine idjicies. whereas
things large enuff as not fit, much moar friction. (erry
time must load it in... again, again, ... )
mod6: There is a lot of work re:
trb
that does need
to be done
too. Another
thing
that was nagging at me... if we're
to have a "university", we also need materials. And
technical materials can be 'trb' coad itself; however, it might be cool
to have an annotated source.
mod6: I have a whole list of
things I wanna do; actually. Like, finally spend
the
time I need on all
things FFA.
mod6: For me, I won't have a fief
to preside over, but maybe I'll still submit
trb related work.
mod6: I agree,
there should be a new one drawn up for whomever should
take
the helm.
mod6: But alas,
The Foundation has some greater goals
than simply
trb itself.
TRB can be one facet of
this, but new blood will need
to
take
the ship in a direction of outreach.
mod6: I would like
to see
trb carry-on indeed. Now, perhaps, more
than ever, is needed as a check against wild shitcoiners out
there.
mod6: Well, correct, I've stated
that I
think I've done
the duty as spelled out in
the Charter. It's well impressed on me
that
tbf needs new direction and new blood.
mod6: We'll really need
to discuss
the whole
thing at length
too. It's not yet fully determined what'll happen
to
tbf. But mircea_popescu has
thrown out a few ideas. I doubt I'll be involved in whatever comes next for it
though.
mod6: If/when I get a chance
to discuss
tbf with him, I'll see what he has
to say. But my guess is he'd probably just like us
to replace him as needed.
mod6: He asked us
to leave him dead, so I've been respecting
that. Until like 3 minutes ago. I just
tried
to poke him re:
trinque.
mod6: and, yah, maybe we ought
to send him an email?
mod6: asciilifeform: will do. i
think when '1,2,3' (above) are done, we can re-visit and see what makes sense.
ossabot: trinque last seen in #trilema on
2019-10-03 22:53:34: sorry for
the gagged deedbot meanwhile;
that outage caught me in
the middle of a multi-channel experiment
ericbot: Logged on 2019-10-07 20:22:43 asciilifeform: asciilifeform, otoh, did
the equiv of when folx w/ no medical education attempt a
tracheotomy on choking patient. cuz nobody else was about
to.
mod6: was just looking for
trinque's last
transmission. seems like it was
the 4th.
mod6: yeah, seems like we're on
the same page.
mod6: the latter half of
that previous line didn't quite parse for me. care
to expand on
that a bit?
mod6: i'd say
that's
the correct approach.
mod6: for sure, glad he's been able
to give his guidence.
mod6: asciilifeform: Well,
that ~might~ be
true. We ought
to proceed
though with careful steps
to ensure we don't overlook something; we need
to ensure
that everyone is settled correctly, accurately. Having some oversight from mircea_popescu on
this will be good.
BingoBoingo: On
the plus side we do have everyone's ssh pubkeys so we don't have
to put up for all comers even
though GPG'd
BingoBoingo: Now, one
thing we do need is some sort of ftp server we can use
to get shared hosting customers GPG'd
tarballs with
their files and databases
mod6: asciilifeform:
that's decent news. but still, we should proceed with our customers needs first.
then, possibly, see what we can do for Pizarro.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I've still not had
time
to contemplate anywhere
that might be better in
the near
to mid
term.
mod6: Well, so
the way I see it: On
the off chance
that we'd win some sort of judgement, even if
the courts are expedient, and I doubt
that
they are; We should continue on our current path. Pay what ever we need
to pay back
to customers out of what we have on-hand, make shipments, what have you.
Then if
there is cash left over, make a decision at
that
time.
BingoBoingo: Even
though
the contract nearly made it
to
term, it's still a liability attached
to my name personally.
BingoBoingo: On some level once
the auditions
to see if any lawyers are hungrier
than present counsel are concluded, if a suit isn't feasible counsel may be necessary
to cleanly send
the contract
to /dev/null should latecho get combative
mod6: It may not be a bad idea
to look into. I just, for what its worth, have my doubts
that much comes of it.
mod6: However, I'm not closing
the door on
the whole
thing. We'll have
to evaluate our liabilities
to our customers, cash on hand, who would be owed what, etc.
mod6: re: lawsuit, i've been following along here since
the onset of
this. I get
the overall sense
that not much may come of it, and similar
to what MP was saying, would have been helpful
to have some attourney long ago, as opposed
to now. Especially regarding
the fact
that we've been getting screwed for years. A judgement might only consist of some repayment for recent month.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: His is not of you're preferred
type of box
mod6: asciilifeform: fair enough. we'll see, one step at a
time.
mod6: BingoBoingo:
The directories are listed in my pgp msg.
mod6: <+asciilifeform> mod6: why wouldja want
the raid card but not
the whole box ? << Perhaps a bit premature
to ask for
this. Let's see if BB can get
the back up completed,
then will decide on whether
to sell
the box or have it shipped back whole, or parts.
BingoBoingo: mod6: If you can give me guidance on what directories you want,
that will be helpful. Even downloading straight from
the local switch,
the whole blockchain is going
to
take
time, and space.
ericbot: Logged on 2019-10-08 15:01:51 mp_en_viaje: ah yes,
they do owe us some money, but i wasn't converted afaik.
mod6: <+BingoBoingo> asciilifeform mod6: I plan
to return and SSH into
the box. <<
Thanks BB!
ericbot: Logged on 2018-07-24 12:38:09 asciilifeform: oblig su joak : division commander notices
that maxim gun emplacement has fallen silent. he walks over , 'comrade gunner, why is your maxim silent' gunner : 'comrade lieutenant, i've run
through my belt' lieutenant : 'BUT YOUR ARE A COMMUNIST!' ...
the maxim promptly begins
to chatter again !
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: It's
the odd balance
that remains from security deposit/mega bolus going into
the datacenter last fall
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Right,
that's customer equity
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Per my records in
the months after
they said
to stop sending more money for a while, after MP's big incoming wire via Mocky, we spent down much of
the security deposit as BTC price was low.
ericbot: Logged on 2019-10-08 15:01:51 mp_en_viaje: ah yes,

lobbesbot: asciilifeform:
The operation succeeded.
