BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: If you do make it back
to
the Oriental Republic, however... I am willing
to drop everything
to make a potroast.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Not looking
to evacuate immediately.
BingoBoingo: I am inclined
to make somewhere in Latin America, even if not Uruguay work. Bingoboingo
the journalist loves
this country. Bingoboingo
the retarded datacenter
tech/mongoloid startup manager hates
this country.
lobbes: well, as diana_coman once
told me *sustainable* growth is
the key. From my chair at least, it doesn't seem like
taking
time
to regroup is a necessarily a bad
thing
BingoBoingo: She's been working on getting some English language, but ripping her out of
the Spanish language space and bringing her
to eastern Europe and Slavic languages
to get colocated with me near another datacenter... When
the necessity of spreading seems
to have been one of
the lessons... It seems a bit much.
BingoBoingo: I don't in
this moment feel as portable as I did in 2017 because now
there's
the Peruana. I'm rather fond of her, but she loves me.
BingoBoingo: To put
together another Pizarro from nothing, Even with
the past
two years
there are other hard edges I have not mastered
that I know would be necessary, and
the
tissue paper pipe problem can happen again.
BingoBoingo: To put
together a Qntra I might read five
to
ten
takes from raw sources before I can collapse
the story into condensed, journalistic
text.
lobbes: on
the bright side,
tho, now you have real world experience for someone else
that starts an endeavor of
the sort. It is expensive
to get
that experience, and you own it in a way no one else does
lobbes: this is
true about
the accretions of failure. A lesson for all of us, I reckon. Makes me
take a hard look at my own failures I may be missing
BingoBoingo: lobbes: Leaping over
the wire was
the easy part. Letting ritual complexity explode early by not objecting
to
the GPG note passing
thing was a failure.
The big failure was marketing, not having a private message churner or selling anyone on
the idea of getting one
together for Pizarro and fast.
The
thing about failures is
that over
time
their consequences accrete. Over
time
these accretions build up and generate inertia. It is like a
lobbes: Not sure what I'm
trying
to say exactly, other
than perhaps "there's many ways
to make a mark in history". Idk, I'ma shut up as my inspirational speeches seem
to have a history of
turning people off rather
than inspiring
lobbes: it is easy
to look at, say MP, and go "well I'll never even be close
to doing
the
things he does", but
to me BingoBoingo's story is uniquely inspirational in
that folx like myself can go "well, he made
the jump into uncharted waters. He built *something* even if
the resistance of
the medium won in
the end. Why couldn't I also build something?"
lobbes: BingoBoingo: fwiw, I
think you did better at
this venture
than I imagine I ever would have. It
took balls
to
take
that initial leap over
the wire and bootstrap
the
thing.
ossabot: Logged on 2019-10-07 21:15:20 mp_en_viaje: "not
talking
to many people you don't know ~= suicide" might've been more productive a lesson.
BingoBoingo: mod6:
To
take any backups of your machine, I will need some sort of credentials
to log in.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: apologies. Got a
tab open for each logger atm.
a111: Logged on 2019-10-07 23:05 asciilifeform: BB will correct me if i'm wrong on
this pt.
BingoBoingo back at
terminal. Shared machine user data backed up along with databases. asciilifeform Dulap powered down, drives removed
lobbes: asciilifeform:
this is a point re: parking in same cage. Perhaps couldn't hurt
to do some more charting.
lobbes: and neato re: patch. I still need
to apply
the detect_disconnect patch as well. Will do
that
tonight before bed
lobbes: asciilifeform: ack re: sigs. I'll let you know once I have new blog home. Going
to order a leased stock box from
that moldavian hoster nao methinks
lobbes: I bought my first coin for ~$20 back in 2013 or abouts,
then hung onto it for dear life. Almost lost it in a
tardstalk scam, but luckily read hanbot's ancient writings; found
this place in
time
lobbes: same, I'm glad I bought little bits when it was alive at least. I'll miss
those auctions
lobbes: even worse, I dun even have a working
trb node
lobbes: I may look into getting another box from
them myself; gonna need another home for blog / auctionbot and would rather not hang everything on my usg hoster
lobbes: willing
to gpg and accept btc
too, it seems
lobbes: seems like folks are aiming
towards diana_coman's contact huh
ericbot: Logged on 2019-10-07 06:37:31 mp_en_viaje: lobbes, when is it you'll need a server
to sit down orchestra on ?
mp_en_viaje: but anyways, having now read
this 771 line / 19k words log
twice, ima
to bed.
mp_en_viaje: in my case it's more a case of "oh, remember when
the old shcmucks srsly
thought
they stand a chance ?"
ericbot: Logged on 2019-10-08 00:11:07 mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform, from experience, all possibly imploding salt mines are in fact imploding. Mocky_ 's experience is iirc in
the logs as current-most-recent.
mp_en_viaje: pizarro had a decent run in spite of management ;
that it came
to an end... it ran for 20+ months neh. plenty of
time.
mp_en_viaje: but ultimately,
the reason experience's so painfully expensive, is
that nobody
takes so much from it ever.
mp_en_viaje: "not
talking
to many people you don't know ~= suicide" might've been more productive a lesson.
mp_en_viaje: i daresay most of
the benefit of pizarro was in
training you inept
tards
to some (probably minuscule) degree.
lobbes: mp-wp bot couldn't be a
thing without it, for example
lobbes: logger vpatch still exists because asciilifeform
tho
mp_en_viaje: white sheets are always good
to have in any case.
