mp_en_viaje: in this alt-world he's a moron-hero who can't as much as leave the house but is besieged by armed hordes nevertheless. so you can't say that he's wasting his time watching a termometer instead of eating, because there's snipers on every roof! and you can't laugh at him fucking with xra
mp_en_viaje: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-10-09#1944379 << the counterwright for his mechanism of nonsense. in practice it works as a scummy attachment strategy, in that it readily passes filters as "playful talk", the man's making a joke, see, it's double-entendre, like a clever use of language, oh, exaggeration, we get it.
mp_en_viaje: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-10-09#1944321 << yes, sure, in some complexly contorted re-interpretation it could be said that i don't want it because someone inept enough to have a problem with the bitcoin is probably just as inept in other places and will do something stupid enough to be a danger of life and limb.
mp_en_viaje: you're poor because you're stupid. and you'll stay poor for as long as you stay stupid. that's the whole fucking story.
mp_en_viaje: i can't even be arsed to distinguish whether it's the case that some weirdo is in fact SO weird as to actually have an xray machine, microscopes etcetera but 0 boxes, or rather the case some fifteen yo is just talking along with the crowd, a sort of [][zelig], becoming overweight when talking to overweight people about their obexsity and growing a beard when hanging out with rabbis.
mp_en_viaje: not even a week ago you were grumbling about how you want whatever opterons "you sealed" back, as if you're some kind of fucking actor, maybe you own 10% of the remaining stock of opterons, who the fuck knows.
mp_en_viaje: because that was the structure of THAT conversation, actually, irrespective what the shit between your ears may have misrepresented it as : i noted you got your fingers caught, and then i pointed out WHY you got your fingers caught, and then took the first opportunity to offer some slack to extract yourself.
mp_en_viaje: your self-permitted "oh, i can't do x, but that's ok" went as far as it did, ~tolerated~, not accepted.
ossabot: Logged on 2019-10-09 21:50:00 BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Power for dollar, you do seem to have a knack for buying machines. As I'm digesting the day's conversation the objection from mp seems to be the mindset which produces this frugality is handicapping when extended to other areas.
mp_en_viaje: to live independently you must master your environment sufficiently so as to warrant it.
mp_en_viaje: in any case, if you want to sell one or ten or a hundred bitcoin in budapest i can tell you where ; or in kiev, or in munich, or in i dunno if i make myself clear here, but this vegetative state where you can do nothing, you know no one etcetera is not fit for independent living. if you're going to live like that you must live in the household of another, as a servant.
mp_en_viaje: that's what BingoBoingo_ was to do in uruguay, and did as-best-he-could which didn't get accepted as acceptable, let alone very well, this is what mocky went to do in qatar -- figure out if it's worth doing at all, this is what life is.
mp_en_viaje: so the question actually was, "any chance you'd extend your presumed ownership of georgia-carolina-tenesee" into the tri-state area such as to cover this inept schmuck, who can't apparently get out of the house, and help him out do basic self-support tasks ?
mp_en_viaje: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-10-09#1944210 << nobody's talking to you as some sort of established pile of wonder, where what you ~have~ is interesting. i'm sure it's not. the idea is whether what you ~do~ can be interesting. if you're leaving for thailand, it's one thing,
diana_coman: there should be more coming as I've contacted yest ~30 new providers.
diana_coman: in early morning crop, only 4 replies: 1 is "please hold on, will enquire"; 2 is "invoicing is a problem because local laws bla" (I've replied to them with simple solution aka their person comes and interfaces); 3 is can't do + we are obnoxious and you do as we say (south koreans too!) 4. is again "help, please hold, will ask boss"
lobbes: turns out, btw, that the whole "detect permalinks structure" thing wasn't even needed... the "guid" field does not represent, as I erroneously thought prior, the absolute path to the post. mp-wp just puts the absolute path in there "by default" as the guid. Saved a lot of time by realizing that
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: It went in late, which in retrospect is as good as never.
BingoBoingo: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-10-09#1944320 << Death comes for everyone. Your micro/macro risk calculation organs are calibrated in a way that all to frequently weighs in favor of the perfect at the expense of the possible and at times the necessary as well. I am trying to take Señor Popescu's lessons and if he thinks I ought to apprentice as a datacenter tech in an actual employement role... I'm going put myself out there
BingoBoingo: lobbes: Did you want your Rockchip drive backed up as well?
trinque: recall I offered to redo your website (as a first step into your having any marketing effort whatsoever)
asciilifeform: btw just as mp_en_viaje said 'orc dc is at least just as terrible, turns out, as usa dc' i'm quite convinced that 'lease rando box from turks' aint any 'cleaner' than 'ask asciilifeform for lulazon aws in 15min'
ossabot: Logged on 2019-10-08 22:39:54 lobbes: http://logs.ericbenevides.com/log/trilema/2019-10-09#1942833 << btw, I've snagged another leased server from some singapore heathen hoster. Once they provision the thing and give login info then auctionbot will live again. However, if it is desperately needed in the meantime I can slap it up on the usg hoster as a stop-gap measure
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Power for dollar, you do seem to have a knack for buying machines. As I'm digesting the day's conversation the objection from mp seems to be the mindset which produces this frugality is handicapping when extended to other areas.
asciilifeform: then not. as you like.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: They seemed very disinclined to lock out seeing as I wheeled out the last 1Us today, stated my intention to empty cabinet, etc
asciilifeform: so long as $subscriber understands what he's getting into.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I am presently inside the rack. It appears once everything went dark they decided to unblock the IPs as reported. Or the did it when they saw I was wheeling out the last 1U servers and warned them I'd be back to check
mp_en_viaje: lol, as common of paupers, to mislay their absent wealth by the crateful.
mp_en_viaje: should be lulzy to see the anglo-franco-italian lulzchorus once that happens, as they couldn't possibly.
mp_en_viaje: what exactly did you imagine you'd be bringing to the table, anyway ? some manner to make any possible deal as complicatedly untenable as it could conceivably get ?
ossabot: Logged on 2019-10-09 18:11:10 BingoBoingo: Well, you can't expect real time answers with IRC. See what the other folks in the zone say when they wake up as far as BTC conversion.
BingoBoingo: Anyways from an architecture point of view one big weakness of LACNIC countries (and Asia it seems as well) is IP poverty. For all the disadvantages of North America, it has IP space to spare.
asciilifeform: essentially same thing as 'if BingoBoingo on antel'
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: This is admirable, but even with them rating the ports as "burtable"... I suspect mp's inclination to get a full Gb pipe up front is how to keep the same sort of network farting from trashing the operation.
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.
BingoBoingo: Well, you can't expect real time answers with IRC. See what the other folks in the zone say when they wake up as far as BTC conversion.
diana_coman: they are quick and they will do as told just as long as it doesn't take it out of the pen, that's about it.
diana_coman: asciilifeform: atm I don't think it matters where if they do as told and come register and invoice with deedbot etc.
BingoBoingo: Well, how much does a dulap spec machine run for on the market atm, and are there any indications as to how deep the market is. You did say earlier that they are getting rarer
diana_coman: asciilifeform: as I was saying, now I don't bother to filter them anymore; they will filter themselves, as above.
mp_en_viaje: whatevers. my question will stand as "so you do not in fact own 100k worth of rackable severs, but you do own 20k worth of unrackable memorabilia, which you inexplicably misvalue at 5k for some reason that's obviously this conversation and the outcomes yu want to see from it".
mp_en_viaje: do you or do you not currently posses and are the owner of a number of cpus made by defunct symbolics co ; a number of pcbs made by defunct symbolics co ; a number of other just as useless paraphenalia made by just as defunct same co
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: 16 ( 17, incl desk test bed ) rk. + a room fulla laboratory gear, such as is kept by fella who never even in nightmare pictured to run a dc.
mp_en_viaje: so you're more of an electrician than a computer scientist, the bulk of your garbage trove is in fact unrelated to computing as such
mp_en_viaje: but i can't ever decide with you if miles gloriosus, talks of gf as "pets", plural, because why not, boihood chorus, or genuine misrepresented fellow, has all sorta things doesnt know how to put to work.
mp_en_viaje: well looky, your conference call, inasmuch as it was predicated on "talk to dc about my soda & 2 large popcorn budget" was a waste of your time.
ericbot: Logged on 2019-10-08 19:18:21 asciilifeform: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-10-08#1942598 << ftr asciilifeform can afford to feed a 3-4hundy cow. but so long as in fact gives milk. and still seems steep imho .
mp_en_viaje: you have option of either paying 3 bux day for sharing into someone else's rack, while someone stands over and films you ; or else pay 20 bux per day to own rack, which is 24u, ie 12times the size, and lock it as your own.
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: as side note, 'horse' prolly belongs in that glossary of yours.
diana_coman: the dc around here are just about as idiotic as last time I looked, at least via email; ie the only dim possibility might be if I get to visit at some point and somehow find some human in there but I'm not giving it many chances and so I can't spend current limited time on this.
diana_coman: I've recovered and parked younghands still in Chisinau because I can't keep those guys in #o doing nothing, it's worse enough as it is
mp_en_viaje: a boy that's no good might as well be made a horse.
mp_en_viaje: it really doesn't matter so much where as it matters getting this back online already, it's just too crippling every which way
mp_en_viaje: aite, wouldja mind as part of pizarro continuancy plan getting a shared server ~anywhere online, and bringing the piz shared back online ?
BingoBoingo: mp_en_viaje: Every shared hosting customer's home directory and databases are being uploaded to trinque's deedbot box now as gpg encrypted tarballs.
mp_en_viaje: considering the beatings it took, them as apparently everyone else, human retardation is fucking insuperable, to start doing this at all, i can't imagine anything more fucking annoying.
mp_en_viaje: just as soon as we get enough aluminum siding salesmen together to actually make something of it.
asciilifeform: [insert here oblig thrd where mp: 'you think i actually NEED the net? well, i can just as readily rule via camel couriers!11' ]
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: imho mp_en_viaje was in fact right in 2015, when wrote that working internet can only be built w/ constellation of machinery on old one, where if can connect to 1 noad, you get republican net, and the bits ~will~ go where they're addressed for so long as there's physically via what.
BingoBoingo: Today, Germany sits driving Europe despite 1939-1945 playing out as they did.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: In a world where no one is shooting at Google, this may just as well be a more desperate situation than June '41 with respect to shaping the future.
BingoBoingo: mp_en_viaje: It's a stress, but as I'm sure I mentioned before... a productive stress. Beats the hell out of persistent stagnant dread-stress.
mp_en_viaje: so no, i couldn't give less of a shit as things stand right now if ffa is "properly completed" or not ; nor if "more material" is made available as unqualified scribbles on trb code.
mp_en_viaje: entrenching resistence to this only works if yo uwork it -- there's eg excellent cheese available today (but only in yurp -- and trump banned, also, as part and parcel of PRACTICAL governance, because the wal doesn't matter but the fact ustards have ~noyhing to offer in counterparty for the fine euro cheese DOES matter)
ericbot: Logged on 2019-10-09 17:18:23 mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform, prolly will have to be an extension of logger bots, where they also act as vpatch registrers
mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform, prolly will have to be an extension of logger bots, where they also act as vpatch registrers
ericbot: Logged on 2019-10-09 14:33:39 asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i dun expect that you'll listen, but imho you oughta pick a coordinate from mp's globe and take that evacuation, as soon as the reactor's properly quenched.
mp_en_viaje: (to clarify : build ipx list, because it lists live active dc/isp operatoons. you're not likely to get to work for the ixp directly as these are usually ~foundations, nonprofits)
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje has sold me that datacenter tech is probably best career for me as I am today. Next obstacle is does any datacenter have the brains to take mp_en_viaje's recommendation with the necessary gravity.
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: gotta ask, why couldn't he, e.g. fix motorcycles ? also work for good hands, and unlike salaried tech ( asciilifeform did a 2y+ tour of duty as just-this when was starving ) open-ended vol. of biz
mp_en_viaje: i think ~for you, personally~, such as you are and irrespective of outside considerations, dc tech may be the best career path.
ericbot: Logged on 2019-10-08 21:38:21 asciilifeform: diana_coman: know that not in erry box can one even put FG, even if orc willing to open it -- needs a pad of space. asciilifeform deliberately chose such boxes as had this space.
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: re other-people's gear -- aint exactly, as you suggested, 'interchangeable sex tape that can be made with any tard', see e.g. 1, 2 .
mp_en_viaje: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-10-09#1943548 << what "nao" ? i'm asking him retrospectively, so as to try an' make sure no droplet of experience elixir he fucking paid for gets lost on the sands.
ericbot: Logged on 2019-10-09 16:15:10 mp_en_viaje: pretty sure i currently have over 10sqft of storage taken up by assorted nsa/etc detritus in cr as it stands, maybe a buncha pogos ?
asciilifeform: as mp_en_viaje pointed out.
mp_en_viaje: how did that die, anyway ? might've paid enough to permit bb to stay, if ever actually started as opposed to talked about
mp_en_viaje: pretty sure i currently have over 10sqft of storage taken up by assorted nsa/etc detritus in cr as it stands, maybe a buncha pogos ?
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: any gear we buy back as snsa by all rights gotta return to asciilifeform's torture chamber rack, at least until there's where else. that way no 'wont have or who thefuck knows' neh.
mp_en_viaje: but the full expectation that it'll just sit there as an elevator button for alf to cut his arm into later, where he won't have them or who the fuck knows what happens.
mp_en_viaje: BingoBoingo, aite. no real ememrgency with the paperwork, ended up being discussed because alf being ridiculous, don't take his squirmings in all directions as some kind of "omg, now mp desperately needs accounts".
ericbot: Logged on 2019-10-09 11:22:37 mp_en_viaje: i seem to recall this other attorney that didn't charge megabux (in fact, like a hundy or so per month) that i've surprise-discovered in your wake and on which you've been owin me for like a year now. i'm starting to think it'll get discharged "for cost of postage" also, just as soon as i'm ready ?
ossabot: Logged on 2019-10-09 11:14:55 asciilifeform: http://logs.ericbenevides.com/log/trilema/2019-10-09#1943177 << the 'master attourney' who mp billed as 'will use gpg' but never heard of any such thing ? him ? yes i'ma pay what mp billed for this 'service' .
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: to be paid as coin, or as mp_en_viaje chooses, e.g. coin and FGs, etc.
mp_en_viaje: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-10-09#1943308 << i didn't actually review these, but wasn't it half a coin that pizarro owed nsa, as a convertible bond nsa never converted ?
asciilifeform: per the teachings of mp_en_viaje's , as i understand it makes diff, 'aint a man unless harem' neh
mp_en_viaje: so much fucking thinking these people did, the whole empire ended as a going concern, and germany was made arounf austria.
ericbot: Logged on 2019-10-09 10:45:07 mp_en_viaje: rather than "it's something in the water" etc. the wankasteries are built by overgrown bois who were permitted to live as uninterruptedly as they pleased, age 4.5 to 7ish.
ericbot: Logged on 2019-10-09 15:43:27 mp_en_viaje: consider also that, as far as anyone knew, working pizarro was ~only avenue of resolving the "by large group" issue. yes, if pizarro became 2020s digitalocean, then surely the demand on alf-sealed hw would have become such that alf... what ?
mp_en_viaje: consider also that, as far as anyone knew, working pizarro was ~only avenue of resolving the "by large group" issue. yes, if pizarro became 2020s digitalocean, then surely the demand on alf-sealed hw would have become such that alf... what ?
mp_en_viaje: which is both why a) my girls, while required to perfrom ~just as well as whores~ nevertheless aren't on sale with the other whores and b) i don't see the wisdom in trained-monkey-alf-business.
mp_en_viaje: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-10-09#1943287 << it's possible, it's possible. consider the value of your unpublished sex tape. as such, can be done by exactly one at a time -- if you're not in it, it's not your sex tape.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Picking a coordinate on a timeline spec'd with "as soon as" seems like a rush if the circumstances aren't forcing it.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i dun expect that you'll listen, but imho you oughta pick a coordinate from mp's globe and take that evacuation, as soon as the reactor's properly quenched.
ossabot: Logged on 2019-10-09 09:44:43 mp_en_viaje: if i had to guess, my guess as to your best course atm would be to try and find an on-site dc tech job somewhere. pretty much no matter where, just as long as it's genuine work rather than makework wank.
asciilifeform: http://logs.ericbenevides.com/log/trilema/2019-10-09#1943263 << check it out, asciilifeform is 'pompous do-nothing', and not the fella on a 9mo vacation who never so much as tied shoes with own hands
ericbot: Logged on 2019-10-09 11:22:37 mp_en_viaje: i seem to recall this other attorney that didn't charge megabux (in fact, like a hundy or so per month) that i've surprise-discovered in your wake and on which you've been owin me for like a year now. i'm starting to think it'll get discharged "for cost of postage" also, just as soon as i'm ready ?
