asciilifeform: asciilifeform operates exactly 1 machine at piz, dulap, under banner of snsa, since the asciilifeform expedition flight when was installed.
asciilifeform still suspects that there wasn't even ~this~ ddos -- e.g. phuctor erry day got hrs of 1000+/reqs/sec from idjit search engines, not only pipe but even ~it~ never fell
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: no one (at least not asciilifeform) was marvelling at the magnitude of the ddos or the ingenuity of the shooter
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: this was multilayer shit sandwich -- turned out the pipe was so threadbare, that even just the mini-ddos was enuff to make it ~unusable
asciilifeform: asciilifeform, otoh, did the equiv of when folx w/ no medical education attempt a tracheotomy on choking patient. cuz nobody else was about to.
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: Bingo for his part seems to be headed to lifetime of penitence in monastery or the like (tho i'd rather he grew skin like rhinoceros and fought an' won, perhaps still will)
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: some amt of this is prolly not escapable in a mission like piz, which consisted largely of reconnaissance-by-fire. but yes this is likely the cardinal sin of ~erryone
asciilifeform: observe the chronology; at the time of asciilifeform's expedition, management still formally consisted of mod6 & ben_vulpes.
asciilifeform: asciilifeform does not have anyffin personally owned in the cage. there is snsa iron, mp will be who decides when to evacuate. others -- themselves, ditto.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: 1st we hear from mp ; then to start taking reqs for evacuations.
asciilifeform: unless they somehow find money in sofa cushion to settle
asciilifeform: there is no moar avoiding of the law office an' the court, BingoBoingo
asciilifeform: ( after he's done w/ the current session of 'both of you have arse for a head and i oughta have thrown you into sea like two-headed kittens long ago' but expect will have what to add )
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: aite. watch for mp waking up, i expect he'll have what to add to this .
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: wasn't suggesting this as a long-term connectivity. but atm we even lack means of seeing wtf is happening in the cage.
asciilifeform: i was able to get '3g' gsm in that bunker.
asciilifeform: hm BingoBoingo what does that radio pipe cost ?
asciilifeform: they're in breach of the contract BingoBoingo . elementarily. we've been paying for pipe, and aint getting no piping !!
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: didja ask , btw, that monkey, who said 'month', what we are expected to do for 'month' ? suck thumbs ?
asciilifeform: atm we dun have a working isp, BingoBoingo . we MAYBE will have with what to build one, if the culprits are made to pay.
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.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: let'em file. BingoBoingo will be in the courthouse with the other creditors.
asciilifeform: well atm the fucker thinks he is stomping a defenseless insect. important to convey that he is mistaken.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: well mp's giving a meat violin concerto or the like atm. and time is of the essence. so i will say, chairman 1st, for so long as BingoBoingo knows the obvious thing to say (i.e. pointedly NOT 'pleez dear sir can haz pipe back' but instead 'this is about the continued solvency of your company, the next conversation will involve barrister, now let's have working pipe, guarantees, and compensation' )
asciilifeform: ianal but even in fucking ru this is open&shut case
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: target can be in hiding all he likes, if he continues when the papers are served, we get default judgement neh.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: are you ready to execute 1->2->3 ?
asciilifeform: that dc was less % full than our rack.
asciilifeform: it won't surprise me if turns out that latech is actually bankrupt.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: for the handtruck there will be time later, when folx actually start to demand evacuation. presently you ought to be visiting 1) chairman's office, w/ contract in hand, and ready to explain exactly what will happen if service not restored (and compensation paid ). 2nd stop -- http://logs.ericbenevides.com/log/trilema/2019-10-06#1941177 , 3rd -- law office .
asciilifeform: fucking orcs. they went to sabotage the heat exchanger so could then blame delay on 'cooling problem', didnt they.
asciilifeform: the other q , BingoBoingo , is : who the hell is maximiliano ? is he the chairman of latech ? ( cuz if not, what happened to this ?? )
asciilifeform: a press that stops on 'MANIFEST' is dead giveaway tho.
asciilifeform: ( atm the barf you get if you , like asciilifeform , hamhandedly forgot to include a patch in 'patches' , is cryptic )
asciilifeform: ( but when will get to do this, do not know atm )
asciilifeform: hrm i prolly oughta patch vtron so that actually gives detailed barf when encounters an apparently 'martian' antecedent, and for ~all~ such encounters in full list.
asciilifeform: so far 180 seems like entirely reasonable value to asciilifeform .
asciilifeform: lobbes: it's a very simple mechanism. could probably be made moar sensitive ( turn knob down from 180 ) but it'd create a risk of spurious disconnects.
asciilifeform: i had a chance to deploy right before the pipe's last epileptic fit .
asciilifeform: lobbes: the autodisconnector in fact was thoroughly tested, while dulap was 'half alive' on sat.
asciilifeform: tips for fyooyoor vtronicists : if press barfs that cannot find antecedent, use the 'o' (origin) knob on the unfound hash. will say if is even in tree anywhere
asciilifeform was quite ready to believe that he fucked even this, after last coupla days
