asciilifeform: why ? cuz asciilifeform tested'em. incl. ps, with meters. an' scrubbed, etc.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: observe that in 2y of piz, not 1 'ew, he buys old irons' component failed.
asciilifeform: equiv. of e.g. uy1 'new, on newegg' easily 25k usd.
asciilifeform: all them folx who think ' asciilifeform's machines expensive, why need angela when can monica ' oughta try buyin' from 'folx who do x, who do y', see how they sing.
asciilifeform: where didja buy them parts, BingoBoingo , at airport ??
asciilifeform: just cuz mp dun want to inhabit it dun mean it could not be inhabited. he did not say 'i'ma excommunicate anyone who lives there' just yet.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: at any rate quote is valid for 2wks, if mp_en_viaje parachutes in 'someone who aint a tard' asciilifeform will get cage etc. when given marching order.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i spoke with their fuhrer. (monkey was unable to answer all) , fella explained that 'customer must throttle himself, we just bill'
asciilifeform: this naturally does ~not~ give same 'bang for buck' as 'whole cage, motherfucker!' and mp_en_viaje -- barfs predictably. tho i was under impression that diana_coman also shopping for less than whole cage.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: my notion was to get a coupla holes and serve as 'horse rider' to 2-3 people. at same time topping off slowly own meagre coin sack, at the rate permitted by asciilifeform's pauperty.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: does idea of errybody in 1 cage again seem smart to you ?
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i'll fall on whatever grenade , but only makes sense to do if it does some good.
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje sometimes seems to think that asciilifeform is a 1/32th scale model of himself. but no, asciilifeform is a pauper, and not even grade-a pauper .
asciilifeform: and incidentally when they empty that 42u, i'ma have even less recourse than BingoBoingo against latech. i can't afford even hour of usa attourney i suspect . (not that it'd do much good)
asciilifeform: potentially it could be done the way BingoBoingo did it. but the metered bw thing makes me ill, it's an open-ended liability
asciilifeform: and e.g. racks, gotta be paid on time erry single time.
asciilifeform: diana_coman: i dun dispute that it's useful. but i do not know how to do it reliably.
asciilifeform: bvt: it's overkill 'for self', i aint mp, not loaded.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: the thought of filling a 42u in usa still makes me queasy. 1 day i'ma show up there and it'll be empty, 'oops'
asciilifeform: diana_coman: if you need a 2nd pair of hands, i'ma follow your instruction to look for 'human'. but atm strongly suspect that we will have to ride horses.
asciilifeform: diana_coman: my approach was to find a ~reasonable~ dc to which can get with own hands. and to fall on the grenade of paying it from pocket. but i can see wai mp_en_viaje barfed.
asciilifeform: diana_coman: that's pretty good (rare) .
asciilifeform: diana_coman: this promises to be uphill battle. i at least did not demand 'oh hey , only dc in 400km radius, will ya register w/deedbot ?'
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: if yer ~leasing~ a box, will get what the people have, not what you want. even in that ukr thing diana_coman found that supposedly opterons. they'll be with ipmi etc. this is inevitable.
