mircea_popescu: cat's aren't that persistent.
mircea_popescu: yeah, they do, because they gang together in wet spots
asciilifeform: can't picture a rat lasting long there
mircea_popescu: on the upside, pigeons aren't much of a problem
mircea_popescu: i think 1mn people of the same mind live there. i've never seen as many cats.
shinohai: I'd be more than happy to feed the lot of them, tuna, kibble, whatever.
asciilifeform: so feed'em the scraps.
shinohai: Perhaps tuna cans at best.
shinohai: I tried putting the housecat kibble out, still they persist.
shinohai: Here kitty, kitty. Come eat this nice steak that asciilifeform paid for.
asciilifeform: shinohai: if you feed'em something nice, they won't look for garbage.
asciilifeform: my method is to not demand anything of wild critters
mod6: one cat that used to be an "outdoor" cat in my radius would bring me mice like everyday. i felt bad because i couldn't bring him one. :/
shinohai: Or perhaps asciilifeform has method previously unknown to hoomans
shinohai: One cannot simply make pets of them
asciilifeform: i cultivate those specifically.
shinohai: Yeah I have a cat I adore, jut those feral ones that tear up stuff
asciilifeform: i cultivate them wherever i live
mod6: but, eitherway, i happen to like these fuckers.
shinohai: .22 LR also takes care of cat problems.
mod6: *nod* would take care of the cat problem too.
mircea_popescu: yeah, it should be enough to get the seedlings up
mod6: that'd be rather awesome if that's what you mean, and it might come to that tbh.
mircea_popescu: basically put a wooden frame like an old screen door or w/e upright, and the plastic from it.
mircea_popescu: mod6 you could try making a hard transparent plastic foil lean-to
asciilifeform not looking forward to reswamping
mod6: a good test either way tho
mod6: i told the girls that we'll try by seed germ. next yaer, but they agreed that'd be a pita.
mod6: i was up to my gd eyeballs in mud lol
mod6: yeah, they certainly got a new home.
mircea_popescu: mod6 rain planting works for the plants :D
shinohai: *100 trillion
shinohai: This is Nigeria. If I don't get new 1 Trillion bill I'm going home.
shinohai: I'm drunk so imma call her pimp and ask if they want a railroad job.
shinohai: It's ok asciilifeform it appears she is in my home town too! How quaint.
mod6: he's going to chiraq?
BingoBoingo: Send them to vacation with alf in chicago for a few months until the frost threat leaves?
mod6: anyway, thanks for the advice. will test that next year for sure.
mod6: that's the one problem. not a lot of window-sill real-estate for that shit. plus: cats.
BingoBoingo: Just get some jiffy pots and put the seeds in the window sill them?
mod6: shinohai: aight, cool. will give that a shot next year.
mod6: not sure exactly how to do that on some of them. like tomatoes and cukes are obvious, but what about the cabbabe and dill, etc?
shinohai: Yeah soak those fuckers then trick seeds into thinking spring
mod6: i think the real trick is to collect the seeds from the plants.
mod6: huh. i'll have to do that next year and see how it goes.
mod6: i dunno, i guess i could. my understanding was that most of these greenhouses start the seeds in like march time-frame. but maybe i'm way off there.
BingoBoingo: Seeds start just fine in the dirt.
BingoBoingo: What about where you put the plants from big greenhouse?
mod6: a little short on space for that. :/
mod6: BingoBoingo: yeah. for now, just learning. was actually thinking, while getting drenched, if I can find a place to start from seeds & get appropriate sun, would do it.
shinohai: Just thing of how that will taste on the grille with some phesant mod6 :D
mod6: got all the tomatoes, basil, pumpkins, eggplants, squash, and r. lettuce planted in the pouring rain. tomorrow: strawberries, watermelon, broccoli, early/late cabbage, short/long cukes, brussel sprouts, and dill
gribble: Error: You haven't asked me a command; perhaps you want to see someone else's more. To do so, call this command with that person's nick.
asciilifeform: in tunnel, i mean
asciilifeform: also in chicago modem worx on train
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the letters in a circle were very important to have as glyphs because some people can't think otherwise.
vc: shinohai, trinque: noted, along with ben_vulpes's offer. I will let you guys know as soon as I decide to expand :)
trinque: that would be more than adequate for me
phf: there's actually "4 GB Memory 4 CPU cores 120GB SSD Space 4TB Bandwidth" option, he just ran out of allocation for the current box
shinohai: I want to run a trb node on one of vc 's boxes if he gets moar power
mircea_popescu: btw vc you totally should look into eulora. beats eve out of the water.
deedbot: [» Contravex: A blog by Pete Dushenski] Penny stock spam texts: an anthology. - http://www.contravex.com/2016/05/27/penny-stock-spam-texts-an-anthology/
mircea_popescu: (ftr, most major device gamers burn more than 100gb/month in data ; a good game can well go over the gb just to install, and the churn is massive, i think the dedicated azn shrimp goes through 10k a month or some such shit)
mircea_popescu: well wtf is this, a cellphone or a server ?
mircea_popescu: ie, if i ran trilema from there i'd need 10 packages.
mircea_popescu: i bet you what they mean is, they allow "any" burst, (ie, they got some slack in the routers, so you can concievably get 100mbps or such), but they literally meter the bg to .1 tb/month
trinque: 100gb of unrestricted traffic restricted to 100gb
trinque: seems to contradict itself
mircea_popescu: uh. wtf "100 gb of data traffic" what's that even mean
trinque: I'm gonna reach out to them for a quote
trinque: https://www.datacell.is << "All our hosting packages include unrestricted bandwidth and 100 Gigabytes of data traffic. Dedicated bandwidth is also available on request."
mircea_popescu: iceland infrastructure is kinda meh. they peer with britain-the-shithole and that's that.
mircea_popescu: a, there is that.
vc: no they do, they are just very very expensive
mircea_popescu: but they have no iceland servers ?!
vc: nah you might have seen the URL of an ars technica article that said iceland
mircea_popescu: romania is not terribru in any sense.
trinque: I had been looking into that myself
trinque: oh, thought you'd said iceland?
trinque: point being they'd sell
vc: mircea_popescu: toss me another 1.7k eur and we'll talk ;)
mircea_popescu: vc get more boxes colo'd, for srs. what is this "one box" bs.
mircea_popescu: i take it he got a single colo'd box imagining the market in terms of "shared server" derps ; and then ran into tmsr and everyone wants whole boxes and phuctor runs on a 256gb monster.
trinque: idgaf about the price
vc: it's SSD storage and only one physical server, hence the price
phf: i take it he ran out of box
trinque: vc: that's too small
vc: if you're interested there's exactly one slot left
mircea_popescu: the power to gut teh web.
shinohai wipes away a tear
mircea_popescu: basically, imagine a future where everyone who wants to (or doesn't care/know enough to not want to) runs the tmsr-bot, which registers its prices with deedbot, and then i can go !bot <order> and deedbot parcels it out to the bots it knows, and reports the rersults when done.
trinque: yeah that's coming.
mircea_popescu: the derpy "watch a video for bitcoin" thing is just what you'd expect out of usgistan. meanwhile, a irc-bot driven client that does ethernet and computation, and charges for these would be pretty sweet.
mircea_popescu: btw trinque you still working on deedbot payments ?
mircea_popescu: we need to get a distributed computing for bitcoin thing going though.
phf: for good measure it should say 2 results, counting the bot's answer
shinohai: afaik ben_vulpes ... I kinda stopped going after same 3 girls all the time
ben_vulpes: shinohai: xotika is still a thing?
phf: yeah, i know the web side is borked, but i think 1 result is actually the search query itself, which is a bug
mircea_popescu: 1 results and when i follow teh link it's all "no results, bro"
