trinque: BingoBoingo: will
the ISP be providing machines
to rent, or are all customers expected
to ship
their own?
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-01#1762111 << it'll evidently need moar money
to actually buy machines ; as uruguay is not specifically known as a center of iron production
the machines will have
to be shipped in anyway. so practically speaking, customer
that is lazy/unconnected can definitely have machine produced for him, but if one's atop
the game shipping his own iron hurts nothing.

this one
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo i don't get it, if you spent 2319 usd how can oooh i see,
tangibles. so you had ~.51 worth of bitcoin is fiatola and ended with .2 worth of bitcoin in fiatola.

to
the beatles because a raffi cover of octopus' garden came on and i'd rather listen
to
the beatles and
totally not 'cause y'all are a bunch of judgemental
terrorists
ben_vulpes: in other words meaning
things news, california is aiming
to allow its subjects
to voluntarily donate
to a state charity and have
that count as a credit
towards
the
tax bill in order
to preserve its deductibility at
the federal level
☟︎ BingoBoingo: The voice in my head suggesting "Muy
tranquilo could be code for lazy, and
they get away with it by pointing across
the river
to Argentina" has started
to get more weight
this week.
BingoBoingo: Of course it's possible
the local department of approving papers has been stoned since
the expocannabis and fucked off all of december for holidays
BingoBoingo: trinque:
Their standard contract specifies wires
to Itau bank
diana_coman: honestly, it all sounds
to me so deja-vu in
the style of "soon" meaning anything at all but usually a loong
time (possibly unless oiled) and forms
to fill similar "hoops for no-connections person"
trinque: can't grab one of
those international amex accounts and pay
the dc with
that?
diana_coman: question is what leverage
the press really has
BingoBoingo: The accountant is getting pressed
this week over what exactly
they have been paid for.
BingoBoingo: Then
the bank account matter is something
they've brought me in several
times
to fill out forms for.
BingoBoingo: I found an accountant.
They are insisting
the government should have
the paperwork approved soon, but
they haven't been
too forthcoming on details.
diana_coman: I
thought you had found
the needed local person for it after some fumbling or did I get
that part wrong?
☟︎ diana_coman: so
the bank account? or creating a business? and why/what exactly in more detail?
BingoBoingo: diana_coman:
The current bottleneck is getting set up as a business with a bank account.
diana_coman: what is
the current bottleneck anyway? I can't seem
to find it in clear in
there or previous posts, am I missing something?
BingoBoingo: Well, it depends on where
the prayers are going
BingoBoingo: Rates can be expected
to decrease if network connectivity gets cheaper, or if
two racks or filled
they could start
to go down on
the volume of
things.
trinque: sure, just
trying
to get you
to answer
the questions
that people will have before wanting
to sign on
the line.
☟︎ BingoBoingo: trinque: With
the debt owed
to mircea_popescu by
the venture, I lack
the arrogance
to propose any sort of share arrangement at
this
time.
trinque: or conversely, are rates expected
to decrease as bootstrapping costs are recovered?
BingoBoingo: And
the expectation at
the moment is either customers ship, purchase, or otherwise negtiate a machine. At
this stage I am weary on
the renting, because I don't know what an acceptable machine
to rent out is given
the proclivity of
the lords.
trinque: BingoBoingo: if
the "rest of
the expenses" includes all business bootstrapping costs, are we getting shares?
a111: Logged on 2018-01-01 20:07 ben_vulpes: pretty good, listening
to raffi, working
through ffa_ch4,
tidying up some stuff for $work
trinque: and where are your rate estimates at
the moment?
trinque: BingoBoingo: will
the ISP be providing machines
to rent, or are all customers expected
to ship
their own?
☟︎ BingoBoingo: Whether local fiat banking is acquired here or not, January 8th discussions will start with
the datacenter on finalizing a package, signing contracts, and getting
them paid and machines
turned on.
ben_vulpes: shinohai:
thats miles beyond my meagre sausage-wiggling skills
ben_vulpes: well now i'm listening
to
the beatles because a raffi cover of octopus' garden came on and i'd rather listen
to
the beatles and
totally not 'cause y'all are a bunch of judgemental
terrorists
☟︎ BingoBoingo: It's a contagious auditory infection, recommend against having it screened by one of
the girls
mod6: don't listen
to it.
ben_vulpes: lol
totally. i've finally leveled up in guitar
to
the point where i can pick some simple songs like
this out, so i'm getting some background auditory
training in at
the same
time
mod6: that's pretty nice.
the guy makes me want
to stab pencils in my ears.
ben_vulpes: kidz
toonz. "quack quack music please?"
mod6: :] not much! catchin up on BB's blog &
trilema.
ben_vulpes: pretty good, listening
to raffi, working
through ffa_ch4,
tidying up some stuff for $work
☟︎ shinohai: "A battery-powered consumer FM radio is placed in a metallic can as a shield.
The radio is placed in monaural mode, and
the output
taken across one of
the earphones. An appropriate level for
the sound card is slightly audible a foot or
two away. " :)
BingoBoingo: One or
two blogposts incoming while memories are fresh
to get
the speller calibrated and
then December ISP statement
BingoBoingo: Ended up getting a mortar and shells arrangement for
the hostel.
BingoBoingo: Feliz ano. Fuegos artificiales were more intense for
the new year, but much briefer in duration.
mod6: Happy New Years
to you all!
hanbot: <mircea_popescu> in other holy shit : apparently omaha, nebraska cancelled ny fireworks because it snowed and
the soviets "dun want anyone
to get frostbite" << and in other kansas news, wichita saw a man killed on his doorstep 'cause someone prank called 911 claiming a murder/hostage
thing at
that address, and he came out with his hands up sub-optimally, apparently.
http://archive.is/AszYN danielpbarron: oh shit, after
that it's a lot more questions, i'm just gonna do default on all of it
trinque: that looks useful for kernel dev. I don't
think you'd need it.
trinque: defaults will probably work, but it's worth hitting ? on
the ones you don't recognize; it'll give a description.
trinque: you can just answer y/n and you'll make it out
the other end eventually
trinque: that is actually
the kernel makefile asking you
things.
mircea_popescu: to quote
the local oracle, "america's best days lie ahead"
mircea_popescu: in other holy shit : apparently omaha, nebraska cancelled ny fireworks because it snowed and
the soviets "dun want anyone
to get frostbite"
trinque: takes on
the scale of hours
to build first; after first build you have binary packages of what you built, can complete in minutes
mircea_popescu: police car parked in between
the lanes, "hey, is
that da polis ?" "shit, it is" "well...
they're not chasing." "in
truth i was only doing 100,
the limit's 80. just 20 over...
that's kinda stickler fare..." "you were also doing 130 earlier, in
the 60 limit zone" "shit, i was ?"
mircea_popescu: in other news, new year's
the best
time
to drive around here.
mod6: all
the gentoos i've got are amd64 and default .config
danielpbarron: mostly asked because someone will probably wonder
the same and now
they have something
to read in
the log. i'll give it a look when it finishes
trinque: has not specifically asciilifeform's list,
though I'm pretty sure mine encompasses it. if it lacks something, point it out and it'll get added.
trinque: see
the masks and removed useflags in
the build script
danielpbarron: so i wanna put eulora on
this
thing when it finishes. i'm curious does it already have asciilifeform's crapolade mask file or is
that
the kind of
thing i have
to put in manually?
trinque: if you want
to poke around in
the build after it's done (or breaks), it'll still be mounted for you
to chroot in.
trinque: good deal.
too bad I'm out of nog or I'd join in.
danielpbarron: for
the lol record, i got
this usb drive many years ago from
the roger verified memorydealers site for what is now probably
thousands of USD worth of bitcoin
trinque: hey your
testing is greatly appreciated.
danielpbarron: aaaaand my sketchy chinese usb drive crashed
the laptop when i unplugged ffffff
trinque: makes
the dev loop on
the
thing easier, edit script, rebuild.
trinque: yep, it checks
to see if build is already mounted, unmounts if so.
danielpbarron: ok
this
time it still says "build is not a mountpoint" but it seems
to be doing something so far
danielpbarron: aw shit, i have
to provide my own kernel config :<
trinque: hold your horses; I'm saying if you look at
the
top of
the script you have, you can see
that
there are
two parameters.
trinque: top of
the script you're reading!
danielpbarron: top of what, i refreshed
the blog post and i don't see a difference
trinque: I added a param for
the kernel config
to use, see
top
danielpbarron: well
that's not entirely
true, what is
that final $
thing in
the parted line
danielpbarron: i did
try manually
typing
that parted line and it returned fine (i
think)
trinque: look at
the command it's creating and see if your parted supports it or not
trinque: the line in question is
the one creating a new partition
table with parted
