mircea_popescu:
phf yeah, actually, i should prolly take the rest of them from him, rather than stuff back in. they're long overdue. mind holding on to the grosse for a little ?
mircea_popescu:
phf alrighty, send them back an' send me the bill please.

phf what ever became of those fgs ?
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes forward it to
phf directly ;
phf sorry for the bondogle, send me the bill for the mailing ; danielpbarron invoice bbisp cc mod6 for the pile.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes
phf currently has two dozen that either fly to you or back to dbp, so which is it ?

☟︎ mircea_popescu: iirc a) they were nsa boxes and b) the problem there was transportation, after you managed to get them locked out of the
phf flight that ended up not happening

phf: yeah i rolled IVA into that number, is that wrong for some reason?
ben_vulpes: somehow lobbes trinque
phf asciilifeform can run bots without the republican isp but all of a sudden shinohai cannot?
diana_coman:
phf I think what is actually shutting down the operation is a. lack of someone capable & willing to take it in hand i.e. provide very detailed instructions to BingoBoingo b. fuzziness as to what operation there really is atm + what operation can actually be had at the location

☟︎ a111: Logged on 2018-02-08 17:01 mircea_popescu: diana_coman seems to me on the first pass the winning combo is 1.1 / 2.1 / 3.1 ; the
phf objection to bit meaning precludes anything else it seems to me ; with the exception that won't bit-extraction (3.1) be particularly slow ?
trinque:
phf: openbsd version? better fan control got merged in recent versions.
mircea_popescu:
phf feel free to not use the plane tickets you bought, if that's more convenient.
BingoBoingo: SSD's over 500 GB in size. If they go in
phf's bag Samsung. On my list I am asking every store what they have if they have it.

phf trinque diana_coman so i'm thinking of basically getting a dozen amd fx-8350s (because just 125w compared to say fx-9590s 220) racked in u2 mbs (say maybe ASRock 970M PRO3 ? i thinkl that fits in 2u neh ?) with 64 gb ram each and a coupla ssds ? any complaints/suggestions ?
mircea_popescu: at any rate, the only possible moves here seem to be a)
phf see if the airline is willing to take a ~100 kgs as cargo ; b) BingoBoingo DO THE RESEARCH tonight, as to b.1) EXACTLY, ~absolutely~ exactly what parts do you actually need and b.2) list of places you could conceivably get it at there, whatever shops. then tomorrow starting 8am you go check all of those. no words, be shown the physical item.
ben_vulpes:
phf: what's involved in "transporting as cargo"?
mircea_popescu: even if sane chassis were to be found, you can't find weightless power supplies (why exactly the rack provides 220V rather than directly rail is a question for another time ; and why this was't raised as a point at any previous time.) and there's simply no way i can have
phf drag 50+ kgs of ~worthless parts across the oceans.
mircea_popescu: so how do you feel about 76.8 kgs worth of chassis
phf !
mircea_popescu:
phf watch how five days ain't gonna even vaguely be enough sheesh.
trinque:
phf's "shit, didn't overcharge enough for the rack" hypothesis is pretty plausible.

phf: so there's two points here, one is that you're opening yourself up for extortion commonly known as "valet service"
mircea_popescu:
phf what's your guess as to your weight limit ? 20 ? 30 ? 50 ?

phf: ben_vulpes: nah, actually a swanky highrise. it's some kind of social program where they rent $3000 apartments to special needs kids, i suspect with some kind of discount--tax break deal

☟︎ ben_vulpes:
phf: well i'm flexible yet, gpg me some dates and i'll ensure to have time to say hello
ben_vulpes: so anyone who can't get materiel to
phf by takeoff may talk to me about hauling machines down south. i expect folks to cover freight, pitch in on the trip costs, and guarantee reimbursement for VAT/IVA should it be levied at the airport.
mircea_popescu:

phf: asciilifeform: by the way, freebsd's ports system (i tried it on a machine that can actually compile things, unlike x60) is a little bit more configurable than pkgsrc/openbsd, so you can actually disable dbus in emacs or firefox! but the lulz of lulz, firefox depends on gtk3, where you can't configure out dbus, so presumably it gets pulled anyway.
