Bingoboingo: asciilifeform: This may be the same screw. I got them with the nuts.
Bingoboingo: asciilifeform: If that happens I will have them fedex'd or DHL'd around the block.
Bingoboingo: There was an east indian fella working on a 1/2 cabinet. He borrowed my pliers to cut something. Did not ask why I was emptying a cabinet.
Bingoboingo: Everything is out of the cabinet in WTC 4. Uneventful other than I was received by a new face. Heavier, ginger bearded fella that had a private security/investigator look.
mp_en_viaje: neways, i shall be off to town nao
Bingoboingo: And if they guys aren't bringing pussy, I don't expect they'd be micro-MPs exempt from the rules
Bingoboingo: I expectd the rule with those places to be "No pussy, No pass"
Bingoboingo: But with the dump I've seen from them...
Bingoboingo: Just in case I will be bringing my receipt from making the "hecho policial" and the laywer's card so I can make a phone call if they are dumb enough to do something REALLY stupid.
Bingoboingo: asciilifeform: Their contract lacks a retention clause. Also I am not in default with them
Bingoboingo: I replied by stating my lone intent today is peacefully retrieving my things, and that it seems in everyone's best interest to allow our legal empires the opportunity to discuss the other matters. Included the contract information of muh boy for their convenience and cc'd them
Bingoboingo: This morning I had in my inbox from Maxi of the damned: "Buen día. Está bien por mí. No hay problema en proceder a dicho retiro. Ello no implica renuncia o dispensa de la obligación de cumplir plenamente la obligación de pago prevista hasta la finalización del contrato."
mp_en_viaje: diana_coman, eh, i don't think they have it any season tbh.
mp_en_viaje: ahhh, the fogs of prague. i'm so happy i came here in autumn, fucking beautiful.
ossabot: Logged on 2019-10-23 04:47:07 spyked: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-10-21#1947307 <-- defo interested and my schedule is open for changes/amendments come november. I am currently working a full-time saeculum gig, so I wouldn't be able to take this as a full-time thing, but I could do this in small weekly/monthly pieces, as with previous published work. so if you think this works and I'm th
mp_en_viaje: neways, ima to bed. megapost tomorrow sometime, if i can dig myself out of the slutpile. have a great time erryone & all!
ossabot: Logged on 2019-10-24 14:17:11 mod6: I'm sure MP will be instructive on this part.
mp_en_viaje: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-10-24#1948101 << i'll sort it for you if you have a specific set that needs sorting. i dun wanna make general pronouncements, more trouble than worth.
mp_en_viaje: but in context of tmsr. again -- because there;s a heavy undertone here of "hire yourself out as apprentice" which i don't particularly want fucked.
mp_en_viaje: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-10-24#1947994 << i do.
asciilifeform: imho it's 'cool' in only the sense e.g. halon system is 'cool'. i.e. when ~need~ and nuffin else will do. at all other times horror.
mp_en_viaje: i thought it was cool, last time i seriously tried one, which was like... many years ago.
mp_en_viaje: satlink even worse. in fact, satlinks are a major pain in the fucking ass, i have nfi why even bother
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: i'm pretty much sold on 'aint no ddos, but only sad czechs' item.
BingoBoingo: I was thanked for letting him know.
BingoBoingo deceived... I intend to pursue the revocation of his law license through the relevant authorties.
BingoBoingo had a productive day. So far. Sat down with the fellow who recommended yesterday's audition. Told him that I was letting him know as a courtesy that after the meeting I developed the strong suspicion that the recommended fellow was the other party's counsel. That I don't know how good his relationship with the fellow is, but that I do not mind, and it may even help me if he warns the fellow that in the case I have been
bvt: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-10-24#1948109 << it's mine, installed in my ancestral home (and not kiev, no). it switched from -connect to independent mode only yesterday, so i'd let it work for at least a month before advertising it as a stable node.
asciilifeform: i.e. how at&t came about 100y prior.
asciilifeform: diana_coman: i rewrote comment and posted where belongs.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I will get the numbers, but my naive understanding is debt before equity. Customers before other equity. But first I have to do the numbers.
mod6: I'm sure MP will be instructive on this part.
mod6: I'm not 100% positive either, but if feels like that's the right thing.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo, mod6 : thinking about it, i realized i have nfi what the priority order of creditors is. thought, 'customers go 1st' strictly from example of bitbet unwind.
mod6: BingoBoingo: yeah, I recall you finding that part refreshing (re: penal code)
BingoBoingo: Pretty sure I said this before, but is was nice to be able to read the whole of this country's penal code in a few hours.
BingoBoingo: mod6: This weekend I hope to get the opportunity to sit down and do the accounting. Last weekend my hope to do so was beaten by time consuming yet time sensitive legaling.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: All that went into the first "hecho policial" was what the officer read out of mine narrative, not what I actually wrote. The second, far more damaging to the damned complaint comes if they refuse to deal and contain their liability.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I filed the police report for the apparent theft. The officer read the potential for fraud into my narrative.
mod6: I see.
diana_coman: asciilifeform: mah, I got that wrong, it was !1 subscribe not follow.
asciilifeform: diana_coman: will do. ( as for spam trap, until i actually get chance to move my www to mp's wp system, the spam trap stays, i dun have slaves to filter the 400+ spamolas was getting erry day prior to installation of traps )
diana_coman: asciilifeform: all you need to do is to tell feedbot !1 follow loper-os/comments/feed or whatever the rss is; re your blog I suspect the comments-in-here is precisely because of the xor hurdle.
BingoBoingo: I am confident that if the first guy was in the US, his hourly... would be far higher.
diana_coman: asciilifeform: ah, and now I think I got what you meant earlier re feedbot-comments and yes: I have feedbot announcing to me in private the comments on my blog too, certainly; works great, too!
BingoBoingo: mod6: The third one fell apart when they mentioned they were audit specialists and got very Uruguayo. At this moment I have no other auditions lined up.
diana_coman: I'm just puzzled by the choice, nothing more.
BingoBoingo: mod6: He knows I was/am auditioning other counsel too, but is willing to act in order to preserve my advantage in tiempos.
asciilifeform: diana_coman: do you have feedbot-comments set up ? ( i for instance do not, yet, tho afaik after recent fix my www supports comment-rss )
ossabot: Logged on 2019-10-24 12:34:42 asciilifeform: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-10-24#1947981 << i admit that actually surprised that none of'em (at least as chronicled) answered diana_coman with 'just how many boxes are you planning to buy, that you are also asking us to convert to new religion ?'
asciilifeform: ^ was how i read it also
mod6: If I read between the lines, sounds like the telegram has been sent? Or am I mis-reading what "screws" means?
ossabot: Logged on 2019-10-20 14:51:29 mp_en_viaje: people ~never change the machine names ; websites come and go. so i'd say 1/3 to 1/2 of the internet's like that.
ossabot: Logged on 2019-10-24 12:38:04 asciilifeform: fwiw when heathens are asked to do the things they actually advertise, sometimes very good service. e.g. asciilifeform asked coloco at 0hrs to fix this nonsense , and by 0300 hrs they ~did~ fix. genuine 24/7 repair, i was impressed.
diana_coman: I really suspect this would have been an asciilifeform-like reply only, though.
ossabot: Logged on 2019-10-24 12:34:42 asciilifeform: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-10-24#1947981 << i admit that actually surprised that none of'em (at least as chronicled) answered diana_coman with 'just how many boxes are you planning to buy, that you are also asking us to convert to new religion ?'
diana_coman: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-10-24#1947996 - that would have been such an outlier reply that I'd have at least taken the time to both talk in more detail to the guy AND report it for sure; can confirm: no, nobody came anywhere close to replying such a thing.
BingoBoingo: As I was saying, very un-Uruguayo office culture. It's not as ideal as a cultivated relationship with an independent, but for my failure to have that... this seems to be the next best option for having leverage.
BingoBoingo: The impression I got from the guy Monday is that he, personally, was bored for a want of interesting work.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I came into the first one through having paid them for sit down to discuss the residency process. Things never got further than paying fot the sit down in that case as their rate for help with places I have to go myself anyways was rather rich for the task, but they were incredibly responsive and un-Uruguayo. I hope I left them with the impression that I pay for value.
BingoBoingo: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-10-24#1947953 << 3 to 4 years is an extreme outlier locally, would require marching through all the appellate courts with an intensity normally only PIT-CNT (Local Labor Mother Organization) and foreign (i.e. with money) investors have the endurance for.
BingoBoingo: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-10-24#1947956 << This is incredibly common among the local shingle hangers. Kinda why despite seeming to care more for the damned's interests that my own... I wanted other folks to read that into the situation before saying the words myself.

asciilifeform admits that slightly surprised that neither mp_en_viaje nor diana_coman made the yet-darker criticism, i.e. 'what is even the use of ssh fp on box w/out trng'
diana_coman: asciilifeform: the exact list of who forgot when or if "only i forgot".
diana_coman: asciilifeform: yes, mp always remembers it; he's been so far the exception though ( I had to ask for the fp from pizarro; I had to ask for it from mivocloud etc); still unclear how is this detailed account relevant but anyways.
ossabot: Logged on 2019-10-23 19:59:48 asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: if after all you dun need a znc , leave the thing switched on, i'ma reformat when next test pilot volunteers, until then will run trb , i want proper test of trb perf on apu1. but if you decide you want a znc, su znc ; znc -c will run promptistic configurator. then reboot, and you'll have it.

snsabot: Logged on 2019-10-24 06:52:51 diana_coman: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-10-23#1947931 - this is something I end up asking for ~each time I get a new server; not sure why it's always forgotten.
asciilifeform: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-10-24#1947954 << always forgotten ? or only i forgot. ( looked in archive, and in fact when mp gave me boxes he always remembered to fp. it's quite necessary. )
BingoBoingo: mp_en_viaje: ty, baking a reply to the comment. I was not entirely without that suspicion. They just hit so many of the local "Flavor of Aunt dumb filters" that the tone of the brain dump was overpowered by that.
ossabot: Logged on 2019-10-22 18:54:30 asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: re those '200 hrs' , if there are actually 200hr/mo required for any part of this, i'ma have to hire ( BingoBoingo ?? ) an assistant. i dun have 200h/mo hidden up sleeve.
mp_en_viaje: spyked, i suspect archive.is may be going south.
spyked: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-10-23#1947852 <-- quite. I did a search for cl jobs a coupla years ago and... derp (wtf, it took 10 mins to archive this)

spyked: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-10-23#1947814 <-- not sure what's gained by this, other than making sure that the mind-boggling weirdness doesn't occur. v.pl init downloads patches and seals, so the verification process still relies on the keys already being there. tho I'll admit, wget -r is not the best
snsabot: Logged on 2019-10-23 08:07:58 spyked: asciilifeform, btw, how much money+time did you invest in this so far? and how much of that went on e.g. iron? this kind of stuff is useful first and foremost for you to review, but e.g. if I decide to start something similar in bucharest 1yr from now, it'd be hugely useful as a comparison point
ossabot: Logged on 2019-10-23 11:10:55 asciilifeform: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-10-23#1947786 << i'd luvv to see an l1 rack in ro, spyked ! keep in mind tho that asciilifeform 'cheats', has long existing experience buying irons, automated filler for rk's, many yrs in salt mines where set up, maintained, racks of irons, networkisms.
spyked: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-10-23#1947811 <-- me too, though not sure when (if) that's going to happen. fwiw, I'm also using current saltmine to steal experience standing up systems, though that practice is slowly on its way to getting killed here as well, as intelisms (on the hw side) and kubernetes (on the sw) start gaining ground

asciilifeform: reminds me, i have a still-sealed crate w/ temperature logger...
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i dun recall seeing any hard evidence that it did, aha
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: if after all you dun need a znc , leave the thing switched on, i'ma reformat when next test pilot volunteers, until then will run trb , i want proper test of trb perf on apu1. but if you decide you want a znc, su znc ; znc -c will run promptistic configurator. then reboot, and you'll have it.
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: very good pt re fp! i'ma put it in the standard preflight checklist.
mp_en_viaje: (i do note that your 400byte letter omitted the string 65:75:33:c8:8d:95:9f:78:75:0e:06:d3:50:cd:21:71 or anything like it, which is plain silly ; but anyways. srsly now folks, do insert the fps, it hurts nothing aite)
mp_en_viaje: i'm not against zncing through your own machine so you can piggy-back test on what you suppose is ddos (but isn't) ; but the utility to me just about zilch -- for one thing if czech tubes take a break, i'll lose the znc connection just as well as i lose the direct. i suppose it'd save on revoicing, but honestly i have that setup to be entirely painless as it is, 1s op.
mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform, i really dun have the timeslot here to much fuck with rando systems, diddle configs, set up whatevers.
mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform, aite, so how do i use this ?
mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform, i honestly dun see any ddos as such. i suspect it's interplay of friable freenode with shitty czech tubes.
diana_coman: I'll read.
BingoBoingo: I learned things like "Dedicado" is Latechco!
asciilifeform: i'ma set up both, in case takes him a while to beat modem into submission an' answer...
asciilifeform: for mp_en_viaja, i have the choice of 1) standard rk, cum znc 2) apu1 w/ 1gb samsung ssd, cum znc, and in fact prepared trb on it also.
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: plox to gpg ssh key you want to use (or otherwise i'ma gen random pw and gpg to mp_en_viaje , and he can put in at leisure )
