asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: i can't say i've much to claim as 'merits' in recent time.
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: piling everything together, "my car got a flat tire, and come to think of it my wife is annoying also" is a great way to find suicide appealing and naught much else. not exactly rational review.
asciilifeform: i dun expect it will make riches tho.
asciilifeform will complete 'peh' even when exiled to pluto, imho it needs doin'
mp_en_viaje: well, we can talk about nsa later this week, ima have to write report anyways. one thing at a time neh ?
asciilifeform: fallen is phuctor. (it was gonna get fatter disks, in resupply crate, so can actually go through those ssl dumps , to date has been doing 'random sample' of'em erry wk )
asciilifeform: to others, goes the torch of logotron .
asciilifeform: will switch it tomorrow .
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: i specifically did not want it in piz, cuz already had dark thought re target-rich envir.
asciilifeform: was actually why asciilifeform took an interest in the moldavia fella. was thinking 'can finally put asciilifeform's blog'
mp_en_viaje: well, if you didn't move it for pizarro, maybe now to moldavia :D
asciilifeform: i'm ok that it goes to random mp_en_viaje page . ( can't point at own www yet, it's still on that heathen random-ip-of-the-week thing )
mp_en_viaje: not very convenient to fuck with root right now
mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform, i don't object, but does it do anything/need me to do anything /
mp_en_viaje: well i mean, it was lulzy on friday. by the time sunday rolled into monday which is now solidly tuesday as i write this... hypocalcemic syncope is one thing, but if she's not back on her feet by next week...
asciilifeform: so happens that i renewed it last wk for next 9 years.
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: i'ma point 'nosuchlabs.com' at yer www again, like during last exile in the desert, if you dun object. (plox to say if ok w/ this and then which ip prefer)
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: if pipe is in fact restored, will make easier for folx to backup. but other than that i think is curtain call.
asciilifeform: generally i dun invoice until box is assembled, tested, and flown.
asciilifeform not invoiced BingoBoingo for the 16 , or their chassis/etc
asciilifeform: ( what do do with the 6 at piz, will be for the shareholders to ponder )
asciilifeform nao stuck figuring out what to do with 15 rk's...
asciilifeform: as stands, noad needs at least 2GB dedicated ram, and tb of ssd is known to live for >2y . (not counting fill, which will fill in ~4y guaranteed as the chain marches)
mp_en_viaje: trb node very fine tester indeed.
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform was provisioning a noad-capable box too, for moldavia test .
mp_en_viaje: i guess ima put a node on the new trilemabot machine too, why not.
asciilifeform: incidentally network is down to 3, maybe 4, working trb noades, such as are known to asciilifeform .
mod6: gotta run out for some meat. will be keeping up on logz tho. ttyl.
asciilifeform: ditto trinque .
asciilifeform: i do not know what mod6 had tho, it was his own iron.
mod6: asciilifeform: ah, ok, good to know.
mod6: asciilifeform: that'll suffice. will work with BB as needed.
asciilifeform: mod6: if it was '3ware' or similar respectable card, it writes drive # to 1st block.
mod6: mp_en_viaje: Fair enough, I seem to remember this as a problem with striping.. like a RAID 5.
asciilifeform: but if you want it, mod6 , will have to get it
mod6: I'd like to see the whole box backed up, but really, (iirc) the /var partition holds the website data. The node chain is less important.
mp_en_viaje: (admittedly because back when people did, i didn't need nor could afford such things)
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: fact of the matter is, the nearest restaurant is across atlantic, will take time to get to it in any case.
mp_en_viaje: mod6, i never ran into this order problem in a raid before ?
mod6: Ah, ok. I can't be certain it is a 3ware. Maybe BB can check inside the box.
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje this is so.
mp_en_viaje: be that as it may, "ima try to start isp while these people are waiting to get plugged back in" is like "ima try to build restaurant in front of queue of hungry people". the correct way is to build first and then queue.
mod6: It serves two functions: 1. tbf website, 2. trb node.
asciilifeform: possibly -- chairs all the way down.
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: remains , imho, to be seen, whether 'floors' even exist.
mod6: asciilifeform: The tbf box in the rack would be nice to be backed up -- I believe, from memory, this is a raid configuration in there. If the drives are pulled and not numbered correctly, probably can't re-create.
mp_en_viaje: i believe it is unwise to build floors atop chairs. usually chairs atop floors.
asciilifeform would like to give BingoBoingo room to try maneuvers involving 'the other dc' or whatnot, but at his option, and in consultation w/ subscribers .
mp_en_viaje: i thought he was over at dc
mp_en_viaje: don't tell me "the exact day before ispdos started" ?
mp_en_viaje: when is your month end with them ?
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: mno, there was a security deposit, + remnant of month afaik.
mp_en_viaje: i thought you owed ~now.
asciilifeform: ( secondarily, the remnant of the acct balance at latech, but i honestly dun expect to see it again 'like own ears w/out mirror'(tm) )
mp_en_viaje: well then that's what it is.
mp_en_viaje: i have not what to argue with this ; nor any reaso nto argue. seems to me the one remaining thing to protect is the physical machines.
ossabot: Logged on 2019-10-07 15:28:43 asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: understand that waiting will accomplish nothing. even supposing the mario & luigi derps come back and 'we fixed pipe, promise it won't happen again' it WILL happen again. week, month, year, later, and whole story will repeat.
ossabot: Logged on 2019-10-07 15:31:05 BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: At this point, based on the previous conversation, there seems to be in no person at Latecho or Dedicado who can get us pipe. I am inclined to begin auditioning commercial litigation folk this afternoon.
mp_en_viaje: allow me to quote chapter and verse then. as to 1 : http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-10-07#1941443 ; as to 2 : http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-10-07#1941440
asciilifeform: it ~could~ come back on. but this won't fix structural problem imho. ~might~ give time to negotiate a straight-from-antel, in theory.
mp_en_viaje: i thought consensus among you two was that pipe's not coming back on. he said "nobody there can turn it back on" and you said "even if they did, i wouldn't trust it"
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: so, let's put on record properly, evacuation officially on ? BingoBoingo to send word to latech to stop charging for pipe, they've breached contract ? or are we to hold out for some unlikely concession
mp_en_viaje: when i landed in chisinev, mid 90s, it had just came out as law or somesuch apparently that all cunts must wear miniskirts with pantyhose. dedicated sellers of pantyhose on all street corners and not a single warm blooded xx humanoid in any other garb.
asciilifeform: if BB becomes new rezident, can enjoy the gurlz (tho prolly oughta leave the wines)
asciilifeform: what we won't have, in moldavia, is obv. (unless he in fact does go there) a BingoBoingo to swap disks, inspect seals, move hoses around in <1hr on request, and such nice things. but what can do.
mp_en_viaje: nfi, haven't been there in 20+ years
asciilifeform does not know if that pencil balanced on its point is any kind stable state. but last i knew, was such.
asciilifeform: afaik they've a nicely deadlocked gov, too, with a putin prime minister and a usg parliament.
mp_en_viaje: diana_coman, come to think about it, see if guy is avail for a conf tomorrow morning say 10 to 11 osterreich time ?
asciilifeform: it's terra incognita tho, tbf.
asciilifeform in fact speaks both of the langs spoken in moldavia...
mp_en_viaje: "hi mr. we want to colo these boxes and this son"
mp_en_viaje: maybe bb could move to moldavia, take employment with same lolz
asciilifeform apprehensive about re-creating a piz-style 'target rich envir.' in moldavia, but all of asciilifeform's attemps to find reasonable hosters ended in broken teeth
asciilifeform: certainly compared to our deceased horse.
asciilifeform: so far the moldavian is looking good.
asciilifeform: ( this is also where was the snsa logger . )
asciilifeform: ea. of these is equipped w/ 2 FG btw.
asciilifeform: and rehomed whenever find to where.
mp_en_viaje: anyway, see what diana_coman thinks also. what's your idea re phuctor iron ?
asciilifeform: could. 1st must ask BB for favour , to prepare it to talk on serial console if it doesn't already.
mp_en_viaje: well, why not, can send the smg there then i guess.
asciilifeform: fella even offered serial port via temp box, given that i refuse to ipmi
asciilifeform: i was actually preparing a modest box to go there
mp_en_viaje: i'd say "call him over here", but the problem is i'm traveling, can't keep this always on and watched.
asciilifeform: he does, or so told asciilifeform (see linked thrd)
mp_en_viaje: but i suppose this is not entirely without merit -- diana_coman see next you talk to that guy whether he also colos boxes ?
mp_en_viaje: well muh dear space-admiral & mars mission commandant... it dun seem to be so much a question of what i'd rather. does it.
asciilifeform: orc customs is an 'in' problem rather than 'out' afaik.
asciilifeform: i expect fedex will get'em out to wherever for 1-2 hundy.
asciilifeform: and to smg i'd also recommend to use the same, but is decision not for me but for mp_en_viaje & co, if they'd rather host on intel w/ ipmi and intel rng, is not my biz
mp_en_viaje: aite, well, instead of going to deliver boxes, can go to... retrieve. make point of showing to customs, "see ? told you it's for fair!"
mp_en_viaje: ah, so you rather want them back /
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: i can't speak for others, but anyffing i touch will be hosted on this same type of opteron, and with same raid, and w/ same FG .
mp_en_viaje: anyway, i imagine most iron is headed for the local reseller, used hw prolly not worth shipping OUT of orcistan
asciilifeform: hm i thought 'suing orcs dunwork'
mp_en_viaje: well, if they're not, we'll sue.
asciilifeform: incidentally, mp_en_viaje , all the irons that asciilifeform personally worked on, have his seals on'em, and these should still be intact.
asciilifeform: might make a diff re where to evacuate irons to, when this time comes.
