mircea_popescu: but esp for phuctor, why bother. what are
the local
techs gonna do with
the old hdd, not like it's not all on
the web anyway
mircea_popescu: beats airpl;ane, yes. not even a matter of cost, a matter of
time and wear-and-tear of
the human capital.
mircea_popescu: if one dies, have
them mail it
to you,
then you mail back.
mircea_popescu: BUT what i meant was, have a box of phuctor racked, and an identical box, stored at
the dc (they do offer storage), or even also-racked.
mircea_popescu: you can't be jumping in a plane seat every
time some
toshiba pos dies, it's unsanitary.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform if you want
to do with own hands
the correct approach is
to seal
the box, have redundancy in
there, and just switch over, ahve
the box mailed
to you etc.
mircea_popescu: doesn't
take an hour
to do
this ; but
they do have nimimums so.
mircea_popescu: that much ? usual cost ~100-150 per hour of
tech hands.
mircea_popescu: so
then 1, for phuctor, 1tb item ; 1 for special purpose amd, as much as it can carry, and 2 run of
the mill, what's
to be found at a decent price.
mircea_popescu: i dunno, what's reasonable
these days ? 256gb / 1+0 4ssd raid / some intel cpu ? or can you find rackable older amds ?
a111: Logged on 2017-09-15 01:05 mircea_popescu: and you can do your own seals, as a bonus. at
the very least have
the girl blow on some nail polish.
a111: Logged on 2017-09-15 01:03 asciilifeform: ftr 500bux barely buys passage
to newyork from dc, much less ru.
mircea_popescu: inb4 alf discovers official corp in shitistan can rent warehouse, which is better arrangement for his domestic factory
than shittington "house".
mircea_popescu: and you can do your own seals, as a bonus. at
the very least have
the girl blow on some nail polish.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: and all
this, of course, is going into
the s.nsa books.
mircea_popescu: now as
to
the other point : since you're making it for yourself, see if you can cram 1TB of ram in
there for
the phuctor box ?
mircea_popescu: there's overprovision
that's stupid ; and
then
there's overprovision
that's a matter of course. i've more fuel in
the
tank
than ima going
to use on
the next sortie ; and more girls
than i fuck and more food in
the fridge
than i eat and why
the fuck wouldn't i.
mircea_popescu: why ~not~ have it ? you need
the 500 bux or w/e it is
that badly ?
mircea_popescu: well,
that
there's a local party
to whatever agreements ; a local someone
to sue or
threaten
to sue ; and in general, it's a good
thing
to have.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform so spend some bitcents buy a small place in shitberg and pretend like you live
there what.
mircea_popescu: and,
to be perfectly clear :
this is entirely non-blocking. much like
the logs, if we end up with
two ALL
THE BETTER.\
mircea_popescu: anyway. see what local lawyer has
to say.
that's what
they're for.
mircea_popescu: but no, "us can't make planes" or "White boy can't jump" come well short of heat death of universe, and can't be fixed in
the manner.
mircea_popescu: so i guess
to rephrase, "so start
them working on your citizenship, you never know when it's useful."
mircea_popescu: it's squarely in
the class of issues which, provided you have a lawyer pour enough hours into it, ALWAYS gets fixed your way.
mircea_popescu has never experienced
this wonder where citizenship is a problem ; but
then again whatevs.
mircea_popescu: keeps
the blood moving and besides you never know where
the other pet is waiting for you.
mircea_popescu: sadly, it isn't, which is why
this has been a
topic for many months now.
mircea_popescu: and no, i expect owning
the hardware will be sufficient.
mircea_popescu: we can afford
to ; and we must do so.
the fact
that "nobody" ever lived in any other arrangement
than subletting from whoever
they were sucking
the cock of
that month dun enter into it.
mircea_popescu: what's
to expand, we're
too big
to be subletting randos apartments ; must have own brownstone owned outright.
mircea_popescu: and as
tempting as it may be
TO
THE NAIVE,
this "oh, i found an actually workable one" is what we've been doing for years.
there's people in
the logs vouching for cherry servers,
the FUCKTARDS who outlook.com
their email and so following.
mircea_popescu: much like dns, and for
the same reasons as
the dns, it does not serve us.
mircea_popescu: that layer MUST be pierced.
that is also
the fucking point.
mircea_popescu: i am not interested in discussing anything with
the over-dcs indirection layer.
that is
the fucking point.
mircea_popescu: exact same here. if
they don't know where
they're located,
they're not any part of
this discussion.
mircea_popescu: i'd have
thought
this is obvious ; or at least it is
to all my girls
that were ever sent
to put roots down anywhere.
mircea_popescu: if it has doubts as
to its physical location, it is an isp not a dc.
a111: Logged on 2017-09-15 00:01 mircea_popescu: sign colo contracts with >1 dcs located outside of usg/nato ; buy and mail
them >1 boxes. for bonus points, actually go
there and install
the items yourself ; and vlog
the whole
thing.
a111: Logged on 2017-09-14 23:48 mircea_popescu: "oh i know, i'll just find
the secret retailer nobody knows about in my quest
to not fucking do
the job!!!"
