diana_coman: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-06-04#1917031 - the colo option sounds good to me as it's essentially a long-term use. ☝︎
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-06-04#1917019 << i'ma describe, for the l0gz, the hypothetical. suppose mips emu in asm ( the heathen item in fact compiles to a 30kB elf , not esp. complex, but would want clean rewrite really ). this'd be proggy that takes disk image and it tx/rx raw frames to/from nic, so can have own ip etc. then 1 large amd box can host coupla 100 instances of mips linux from known image. <1s teardown/bringup. ☝︎☟︎
asciilifeform: evidently! d00d sounds like early stage schizoid tho, in writing
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, there's a lot of room between "highly functioning mental case" and "socially pleasant normal person"
a111: Logged on 2019-06-01 23:28 nicoleci: lol he didnt mention it, he was mostly being asked to leave the room though

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-06-04#1917003 << this is interesting and not quite what i expected , from http://btcbase.org/log/2019-06-01#1916641 ☝︎☝︎
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: you may recall, there is a small supply of spare FG here, these can go in your machines.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: no reason to hurry.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, give it till the end of today to figure out what we're doing here, but in principl yes.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo my thinking is, moar boxes in the rack == good thing.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: you'll prolly want hds, tho, as spares (they can travel inside boxes)
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i will then start to search for these very same.
asciilifeform: transport cost is 1/n per 1u of box, and iirc the airplane/bed was approx 2.5 us dubloons last time
mircea_popescu: i was thinking copies of extant, so as to give them to pizarro in exchange, see ? this way i don't have to move hdds ☟︎
asciilifeform: could buy. think about what in particular you'd like in'em and we can arrange.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, i've not been in cr for months ; no, the idea was to get you to buy them for me :)
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo incidentally imho would be good thing for piz, even if mircea_popescu ends up w/ cheaper subscription, cuz then vacates 2 piz boxen and these can be advertised
mircea_popescu: diana_coman, so should i release the monthly then ? ☟︎
a111: Logged on 2019-06-04 10:32 mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, would you be amenable to carry 2 replacement boxes on yoru trip over, that i buy, and give them to pizarro in lieu of these two, convert them to colo only ?
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-06-04#1917014 << asciilifeform's orcistan transport service lives to serve ! mircea_popescu do you happen to have these machines already ? theoretically could stop in cr an' pick up etc ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2019-06-04 10:31 mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-06-03#1916957 << i guess i'm amenable to this. though of course why i sold machines to rent them for multi-years is then anyone's guess...
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-06-04#1917011 << iirc the logic was discussed, when subscriber leases machine, piz is sworn to keep him en-machined at all times ( by keeping on hand any and all necessary spares ) ☝︎
diana_coman: there is the fiddly part with sjlj vs zcx but that in itself doesn't justify 2 machines, no.
diana_coman: indeed; I suppose there might be a case for keeping the production server only and then getting the test/cuntoo one only when there is finally what to put on it
diana_coman: to answer the q directly: not permanently, I'd hope! But it does seem to be rather long term since atm I have my hands full with SMG Comms on both client+server and otherwise we don't yet have a full Cuntoo setup to deploy and say that's fixed
diana_coman: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-06-04#1917013 -> until we change OS basically; the test one was step towards Cuntoo and that's pretty much the only real reason for having 2 since playing around with the OS on a production server is rather iffy. ☝︎☟︎
a111: Logged on 2019-06-04 00:56 asciilifeform: nao that i thinkaboutit, could be useful even in such application as piz shared hostisics..
a111: Logged on 2019-06-03 20:27 BingoBoingo: Once the S.MG rental billing is taken care of with a model applicable to future server rentals, the book can be closed on ugly common law billing.
a111: Logged on 2019-06-03 19:53 BingoBoingo: I would like to do this in a way that leads to not every single 1U rental contract becoming a precious bespoke snowflake arrangement (beyond accomodations naturally offered and WELL RECORDED to sugar things up for big clients because "men not laws"). The idea is that by knowing what our book is on a machine, pricing can become simple in the way Colocation and Rockchips are.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, would you be amenable to carry 2 replacement boxes on yoru trip over, that i buy, and give them to pizarro in lieu of these two, convert them to colo only ? ☟︎
a111: Logged on 2019-06-03 19:45 BingoBoingo: I would like to convert both of these to clear yearly contracts that will not require a time sucking archaeology mission on both sides when renewal comes up again.

mircea_popescu: these days, this isn't even so rare, for a 30yo.
a111: Logged on 2019-06-03 19:04 asciilifeform: diana_coman: afaik not diff. only peculiarity is that he got hold of a net connection, but i suppose this is not difficult feat naodays even for hobo
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-06-03#1916941 << im pretty sure has parents (if i had to guess -- mother) somewhere creating his womb for him. ☝︎

mircea_popescu: and so there we go ; rob dude's eminently II.
mircea_popescu: but this is entirely not a mental health issue.
mircea_popescu: obviously if "society" overloads sexual relationship with "civilisational meaning" then they wanna "treat female hysteria", which is now "a condition" -- the condition of societal overload not working out in practice.
mircea_popescu: there's also a type III that's not really a type -- sexually frustrated humans get crabby. this is perfectly healthy, and evolutionarily necessary. "if in unhappy relationship, push it till it either fixes or breaks".
mircea_popescu: this is why freud mostrly "treats" stutterers and anxious-maniacal folk. cuz they're not type-I broken in the head, they're type-II, they got "dysphoria", they thing "maybe they're gay" and such nonsense.
mircea_popescu: and this is the justification for medicating them, such as it is.
mircea_popescu: this ~last type~ is perhaps amenable to treatment. because if you give the kid-thats-a-blur something to fix him the fuck down for five minutes he might have the breather to figure out which way the shoes go on ; and if you don't... well, esp at that age, it's perfectly possible the brain window closes, and he never the fuck will. because this is how the brain works, either learn language by ~5 or forget about LANGUAGE. al
mircea_popescu: similarily, the overanxious stutterer, and so in this vein.
a111: Logged on 2019-06-02 05:03 mircea_popescu: meanwhile in delicious nonsense, https://pastebin.com/h5HxRWa9 ; moneyshot : "A thought we had a few weeks ago during one of our low-low mood phases, that perhaps it isn't worth pursuing bodily separation since we all already know each so well and can basically form new sentient agents in this brain on a whim, with a second's effort; namely, that if any one of separated into a new brain or some other medium of mind, that a
mircea_popescu: there's also a II) dataflow control failure. these are all the "add" (kids so aggitated they're saying something, the WHAT they're saying gets lost in dribbles). these are the manic-depressives, people so concerned with their "status" they fail to actually produce anything, like a robot that's 99% sensors and 0% servos. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: this is schizo ; and from an evolutionary pov it well matches the "failure of historical mind compartment process"
mircea_popescu: quick mp likbez on mental health : other than mentally healthy people (which is very vast indeed, and well varied, and almost universal), there I) an organic malfunction type, which sometimes ends up spontaneously organized -- much like "cancer" is "that tiny % of broken cells that end up broken in such a specific way they stay organized".
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-06-03#1916937 << this is not schizo tho, it's the other line. ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2018-04-30 17:53 mircea_popescu: pinoy actually uses shanonizing as THE, not an, but THE intellectual mode of life.
a111: Logged on 2019-05-21 22:46 mp_en_viaje: makes the ~same wetware shannonizer impression irl.
a111: Logged on 2019-06-03 18:54 diana_coman: eh, from asciilifeform's snippets the dude's "evaluations" seem to be more mix-and-match premade expectations than actual evaluations; fwiw I met Nicole and I don't see why exactly couldn't she do those reviews she did.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-06-03#1916934 << that's exactly what it is. i very much stand by original http://btcbase.org/log/2019-05-21#1914864 : http://btcbase.org/log/2018-04-30#1806593 ☝︎☝︎☝︎
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, as per tradition (sadly, the WRONG tradition, of common law title-deed), can i has logline re this or anything ?
a111: Logged on 2019-06-03 18:52 asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the snsa pair is (dulap & spare-dulap) are snsa boxen
mircea_popescu: in other news, /me shall be going to egypt for a coupla weeks starting prolly this weekend. mwahahaha!
a111: Logged on 2019-05-30 18:45 phf: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-05-29#1916136 << i'm using hunchentoot-1.2.35 but that's in no way explored, that's whatever i got out of quicklisp on first btcbase deploy
spyked: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-05-30#1916277 <-- ty phf! I'll use this as a datapoint for my current changelog study ☝︎
spyked: asciilifeform, I'm hands full atm, but would surely like to work on something like that once I free 'em. re applications, maybe running other heathen progz (e.g. loading js websites, iirc there was some discussion about that when lobbes was working on archiver?)
asciilifeform: all of this of course wholly unrelated to the linked piece, which is about distribution of factors in uniform rand. ints. ( about which i thought ~0 is known, but turns out not quite 0. )
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu can you think of any other applications for this, that'd make it worth the sweat ?
asciilifeform: mips specifically is compact enuff in its definition that one could write a demonstrably-inescapable sim for it. would weigh approx what peh (sans ffa) weighs, i suspect.
asciilifeform: nao that i thinkaboutit, could be useful even in such application as piz shared hostisics.. ☟︎
asciilifeform: which presently dun exist, but theoretically is feasible ( i've booted a working generic linux on a <3000loc-c heathen mips emu, for instance, in the past. )
a111: Logged on 2017-12-29 15:47 asciilifeform: ( this is prolly doomed to happen in the end. i.e. gotta retarget gnat to a simplified mips or the like, and then run in emulator, verify actual clock cycle counts )
asciilifeform: imho this kinda thing would be a a+++ application for a 'bake disposable similated linux box with simulated disk etc in <1s and tear down to 0' item. ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2017-10-27 22:29 mircea_popescu: thatg aside, the more pressing problem is that we don't have a proper pdf-decrufter, (random moron with delusions of self-impoirtance failed to be useful, as you prolly recall), and if we're going to do something by hand this'd be more sorely needed than that.
asciilifeform: incidentally, i generate these by machine, and it takes about 3sec per. would have put it as a net-connected hopper thing aeons ago, BUT it of course uses a heathen render (there are no 'demonstrably electrically correct' pdf eaters, and i dun expect one to exist) and suffers from the obvious problem ☝︎☟︎☟︎☟︎
BingoBoingo: Once the S.MG rental billing is taken care of with a model applicable to future server rentals, the book can be closed on ugly common law billing. ☟︎
BingoBoingo notes the current predicament where X process that could be routinely handled by following a recipe instead degrades to a process involving several exhausting searches is exactly why "common law" jurisdictions inevitably turn into India, Ganges and all

a111: Logged on 2018-07-25 02:45 mod6: So the 0.03542985 includes the price of the physical box, and a charge for rack space. we broke this down into a daily cost, then multiplied it by 19, as we figured this out on the 12th.
a111: Logged on 2018-02-26 17:41 ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: i'm going to roll the FGs into the rental cost of the machine; 20% markup for a year paid up front for the whole kit and caboodle if that passes with you
a111: Logged on 2019-06-03 16:19 asciilifeform: then we're talking about the s.mg spare. which is a piz box and then oughta be priced entirely == to the primary smg.
BingoBoingo: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-06-03#1916911 << asciilifeform to be clear we are talking about both S.MG machines. One machine is a yearly rental where ben_vulpes worked out a sort of high markup insurance plan http://btcbase.org/log/2018-02-26#1786313 Eventually the cold spare backing insurance turned into a monthly rental priced by math unknown to me http://btcbase.org/log/2018-07-25#1837631 ☝︎☝︎☝︎

a111: Logged on 2018-02-25 16:38 mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes how about you lot take three dozen FGs at .45 ? (cash ; or at your option .5 BTC worth of convertible bonds for s.nsa).
BingoBoingo: And a portion of the S.NSA debt appears to be FUCKGOATS http://btcbase.org/log/2018-02-25#1785997 ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2018-04-03 19:42 mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes cash or bonds, though for the latter no actual discount was discussed in teh nsa boardroom. but i guess i'll go with .4 off the cuff and hope nobody throws gavels at me.
a111: Logged on 2018-04-03 18:11 mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes i wasn't initially going to say anything besides "nay" ; but hey, pizarro's a friend of ours, so : nsa would sell the spare machine for cost, which is about .371. comes with two fgs installed and free shipping.
BingoBoingo: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-04-03#1792483 http://btcbase.org/log/2018-04-03#1792649 Appear to be the transaction. Conversation happened on a "douchebag" day ☝︎☝︎

BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> or which is the s.mg owned machine ? << NSA owns its machines, S.MG rents its machines from Pizarro. ben_vulpes bought boxes rented to S.MG through incurring a debt S.NSA, visible in Pizarro statements in the liability tables http://pizarroisp.net/2019/05/06/pizarro-april-2019-report/#selection-13.5592-13.5655
asciilifeform: ( incidentally remember the olden days when one could usually suppose that someone with net connection has a fixed postage address somewhere, and humanlike house, and etc ? )
asciilifeform: diana_coman: afaik not diff. only peculiarity is that he got hold of a net connection, but i suppose this is not difficult feat naodays even for hobo ☟︎
diana_coman: asciilifeform: why or how exactly different from all the others who decided that reality doesn't apply to them when it trips over their expectations?
asciilifeform suspects the fella's at the stage where only thing left is the folx in white coats, fixation robe, cold showers, aminazine, etc ☟︎
asciilifeform: at any rate i'm all outta what to say to such patient, if anyone wants to play with him, his email's in the paste, i'ma put him in the nigerian list.
diana_coman: I'm not even sure he's not more common than one might think but that's not to say the whole thing is not getting more tiresome than lulzy from my pov.
asciilifeform: diana_coman: at this pt i suspect he's a bona fide nutter
diana_coman: eh, from asciilifeform's snippets the dude's "evaluations" seem to be more mix-and-match premade expectations than actual evaluations; fwiw I met Nicole and I don't see why exactly couldn't she do those reviews she did. ☟︎
asciilifeform: re the nonsense, that's ninjashogun, and as for wtf in his crankcase, i have nfi, i suspect medicine is powerless
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the snsa pair is (dulap & spare-dulap) are snsa boxen ☟︎
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: only smg box (pair, primary & spare) was sold to piz
mircea_popescu: that's precisely what a slavegirl is, a woman that from outside seems a whole fucking blue chip corporation all by herself. much like a car is, to the zulu mind, "a whole herd of oxen".
mircea_popescu: yes dude, slavery == superpowers, what the fuck. what else would be the point anyway ?
