asciilifeform: BB will correct me if i'm wrong on this pt.☟︎
asciilifeform: was to be sold, when replacement delivered.
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: the primary smg machine is still owned by smg.
asciilifeform: ( the other connection, naturally, is -- per the snowden dox -- usg never throws away botnet, when finds, but uses always . )
asciilifeform: at any rate, for our purposes afaik dun matter what kinda botnet. nor have i a connection to draw from that point to what we've got. so will leave subj alone for nao.
asciilifeform: the only step to 'p2p'ism that has become moar common, is the use of 'randomly generated domain using time of day where to look for command' ('dga') but even this not universal.
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: i also had trouble believing, before working as pro exterminator for these in '12-15. (possible that sumthing has changed since, but from what i presently know -- has not.)
asciilifeform: ( never went even as far as asciilifeform getting through door, cuz landed in a snake pit of 'maximilianos' each of whom claimed 'oh noez this dc is nao owned by X' for 3 circling values of x )
asciilifeform: http://logs.ericbenevides.com/log/trilema/2019-10-07#1941653 << funnily , 1 of the places asciilifeform wanted to try parking dulap in '17 , was a (largely empty) telco exchange 2km from house. reputedly, gives a locking rebar cage for <1.5k/m . and in the heart of the beast. the thing, i suspect if had done this, it'd still be there, working..
asciilifeform: drives imho oughta be evacuated (1st to BingoBoingo's flat, then, at option of customers, fedex) prior to and posted separately from machines per se.
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: without a 'we terminated yer contract as of thursday' to go with it, tho
asciilifeform: if they simply closed down, would then match this description. but instead started delivering milk that's 50% baccilae
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: there's a lulzy era1 thread where asciilifeform had to, for salt mine reasons, lease a bank box, and read the contract..
asciilifeform: well in usa, matters even moar simple , dun even need to read that the fella with the weightier bank balance is 'innocent' and the 1 with the lighter -- 'liable', ~100% of the time
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: to picture for a moment that the action were in 'civilized' rather than orcistani court -- if warehouse springs leak, and rain pours through it for week, and five customer's worth of wheat dissolves, i expect > 'month' would be owed.
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: it isn't that asciilifeform is convinced 'oh we'll win a suit and roll in dough' but that i haven't other constructive idea. ( to tell BingoBoingo 'hey get 2wks head start on rabbits and drinking to death' imho not constructive. )
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: sitting still also not 'safe to do'
asciilifeform: asciilifeform is operating already outta the green on his tachometer and perhaps oughta stfu, unless mp_en_viaje or BB have specific qs today.
asciilifeform: latech was eating the lion's share of piz operating cost. and delivering, as turned out, pipe made of wet tissue. finally said tissue dissolves. BingoBoingo goes on careful fact-finding, finds monkeys making monkey noises re 'wait a month, maybe we'll fix' . can call comedy, tragicomedy, whichever.
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: was the point strictly that asciilifeform's output to BB, low snr , and needlessly stresses crew ? or that he oughta be doing something else than where i sent him ? or both ? neither ?
asciilifeform: woah, mp_en_viaje concerned with stress of crew ?!!! ~nao~ i must ask, mp_en_viaje are you mp_en_viaje right nao or is hanbot filling in at console ( check out, also forgot that phuctor lived in dulap ? ) plox to fess up!111
asciilifeform: but i'ma let him answer when comes back.
asciilifeform: iirc BB actually tried at onset, found his lang skill insufficient at that juncture.
asciilifeform: Bingo seems to be in agreement w/ asciilifeform's direction, 'fight way out of encirclement while you still have ammo'
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: i dun have high expectations.
asciilifeform: latech wrecked piz. (i find it difficult to picture that will be 'un-wrecked') . what would mp_en_viaje do in such case ? there's a clearly identifiable party in breach of (even orcish) contract .
asciilifeform: asciilifeform fwiw is following the 'what learned from mp_en_viaje' notebook.
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: what wouldja have him do ?
asciilifeform: well so far we're a reseller of sandwich and in latest incoming crate they're fulla maggots.
asciilifeform: well so far sent him to get barrister (sumthing that really oughta have been done aeons ago) rather than petrol.
asciilifeform: the passenger may not have expectation to 'pot roast', but imho is justified in expectation of not flying from window.
asciilifeform: we're 1 rack, of perhaps 20 that had any occupants. so equiv. to passenger on a bus where 20 riders. nevertheless if driver of bus throws a paying passenger from window, this is to be paid for, notwithstanding that he is only 1 of 20 and paid only 1/20th of what was in the till.
asciilifeform: i haven't tried the germanies and etc. but know the prices here.
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: it's a considerable sum for cage even in usa, fwiw.
asciilifeform: i've never been in a 2100/night hotel. must be quite sumthing.
asciilifeform: ( didja rent entire hotel ?! rather than room ? )
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: yer hotel costs 2+k usbux / night ? impressive.
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: spinner is substantially slower than the firehose from where cometh. but yes normally one does headers-only.
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: it was in fact 'ready to fire' on dulap , but not kept running eternally (a tcpdump of ERRYTHING slows box to a crawl and will eat yer ssd in ~week)
asciilifeform: ( cuz asciilifeform's torture room, unlike evidently uruguay, is set up for pcap etc )
