mp_en_viaje: looks quite like a bug, is it in mp-wp ?
mp_en_viaje: in today's keks : hey lobbes, if i try to add "/me nods along benevolently." as a comment it says "stale page", but if i remove the leading slash it doesn't anymore
mp_en_viaje: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-10-16#1946013 << php is perfectly fine. there should be a counter somewhere keeping a "max disk size" setting, an inventory of total bytesize, and that deletes oldest-first when the former exceeds the latter.
ossabot: Logged on 2019-10-11 20:41:09 mp_en_viaje: and, i suppose, file a complaint for theft with your local police station, listing what you recall of what they made off with "and others", and whatever, $10k or w/e the aggregate cost fairly was.
ossabot: Logged on 2019-10-16 15:01:31 BingoBoingo: I'm thinking something like: I propose we mutually end this contract. Here's a draft termination agreement for your consideration: [very basic mutual termination letter notably omitting any waiver holding them harmless for their breaches while including a waiver of all claims they may have/invent against me] and ask them what language and terms they want to include in the agreement to avoid "[http://logs.ossasepia
mp_en_viaje: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-10-16#1945985 << alternatively, go to police station, file simple theft compaint, as per http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-10-11#1944983 and let them figure it out ; it'll be something a lot like http://trilema.com/2019/how-the-good-folk-at-kj%C3%B8lberggata-29b-0653-oslo-norway-dba-variously-as-central-city-apartments-kampenhotellno-reise-byra-bala-suman-balasundaram-etcetera-attempt-to-scam-me-
mp_en_viaje: in any case, the universal basic wisdom of people interacting with the empire of stupid, from old us army hands to the days samuel pepys was tryna get a navy going / mind the business of his lord sandwich (not that one, another one) is -- put things in there to have what to cut off. why exactly
mp_en_viaje: the fact that you don't "close the contract cleanly" is a cost to them and them alone, it affects you exactly not at all. let them pay for the service if they wish to have the service -- says the man who'd bill the US congress appearance fees to testify before it, like any other TV network.
mp_en_viaje: c) you're thinking too cleanly, which is adequate for republican work but inadequate to interfacing work (a point somewhat reminescent of this php discussion). it's the empire of shit for a reason, let it have it.
mp_en_viaje: b) it is unlikely any lawyer you don't previously know will treat this as anything but a meal ticket. much like usg doctors don't treat the underlying condition in the sense of getting rid of it, but treat it as a cash cow, in the sense of maximizing their own income from it, the whole fucking point of knowing lawyers ~prior~ to needing them rather than once you need them like the retail-buying schmuck is so as to be able to authoritatively answer
mp_en_viaje: though it's thoroughly fucked that erstwhile "richest country in the world", they're not ordinary, kyle, and none of this can't possibly be happening to them, and surely if they just close their eyes harder and wish stronger-er the cock's going away, believe. girlihood problems. also, uruguay poor, as a 2nd consideratio
ossabot: Logged on 2019-10-16 14:37:57 asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i dun expect it is possible to get serious damages outta the latech corpse. but if you botch this basic step entirely, i expect uy will become a very hot bath for BingoBoingo .
mp_en_viaje: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-10-16#1945974 << practically : a) they may offer a little for you to go away, but this is unlikely because, principally, ustarded 3-ring binder "corporation" bullshit ; as evinced many other places, usgtarded precious cuntlets (which is 100% what usgistani "corporations" are anymore, since they started hiring the stupid cunts, and then gave "hr" and "corporate" bla bla over to them) would rather starve to
ossabot: Logged on 2019-10-17 01:05:53 mp_en_viaje: it's a thing, and as long as it's a thing you own some ; dun even matter what you think about it, you can deem it as evil as you wish ; as long as it's a thing you get yourself some.
mp_en_viaje: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-10-16#1945955 << this incidentally is a great service!
mp_en_viaje: it's a thing, and as long as it's a thing you own some ; dun even matter what you think about it, you can deem it as evil as you wish ; as long as it's a thing you get yourself some.
mp_en_viaje: the "oh, we're about to replace ye olde internet anyways" works as an argument against TRYING TO CORNER THE MARKET. that's a very different thing, you might say "i don't intend to own a quarter of all ips because tmsr's gonna replace the dumb shit anyways".
mp_en_viaje: very similarily, to be person must have a few senators, a few houses, a few cars, a few women etc etc. either you have a few of all the kinds of things that exist or you're not a person.
mp_en_viaje: you gotta have some of everything to be. this is the bar. as a schoolchild in sovok, gotta have a slingshot, and a tube for shooting paper cone things, and i dunno, a depeche mode casette tape or w/e the fuck you faggots did back in the day.
BingoBoingo: trinque: I do have the original .tar.gz.gpg files, yes. Also have a server now.
mp_en_viaje: jeez, spent the night with a bottle and a gaggle o' sluts at the strip club, slept for a few hours and i'm like... up.
lobbes: BingoBoingo: the archive.is (http://archive.is/GONGW) link in the above Qntra goes to a "not found" (at least on my end)
BingoBoingo: Not a new one
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Maybe give it a reset?
BingoBoingo: In other local news court issued a restraing order against the outgoing President and his cabinet forbidding their continued use of the Presidential web to spread election propaganda.
lobbes: you can't keep a good qntra down
mod6: Which, may be useful to have representation for such a discussion with the tards.
BingoBoingo: The defensive reply from Friday suggests that is all. The man the put in charge of communicating with me has been neither candid nor honest. They also had the great misfortune of my walking in last Monday to see servers cooking, an incident that indicates they are not in fact running a datacenter by any recognized standard.
BingoBoingo: The civil and commercial codes were produced in a time when this country still had men and read thusly.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: If this were a truly lawless orcistan there'd be more pichis squatting in poured concrete structures and less camping outdoors
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i'd imagine so; but given mp's reminder that 'yer in a ~lawless orcistan' ' what asciilifeform imagines ' aint worth the electrons, i suspect
BingoBoingo: But they can sweat a few more days.
asciilifeform: i'd comment, but this is squarely a q for actual abogado, and/or mp , quite above asciilifeform's grade .
ossabot: Logged on 2019-10-11 21:49:27 BingoBoingo: The remaining months of the contract, if they'd performed would have grossed for them maybe enough for them to get an ancient VW "Kombi" in the local automotive market that may or may not run. Maxi's "we want to work in an amicable way to finish this contract" sounds a lot like they want to say "please pay us to term even though we have become non-performant" while at the same time betraying the lack of balls and/

asciilifeform: the piggy aint the only resource, btw, being wasted, if there's 0 chance of a win, there is also BingoBoingo's time .
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-10-11#1944995 << I informed then in writing that they are in breach. Maxi's weasle response and their silence suggests they are aware expecting to receive notice of a suit.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i dun expect it is possible to get serious damages outta the latech corpse. but if you botch this basic step entirely, i expect uy will become a very hot bath for BingoBoingo .
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I've got a small pile of contact information to churn through. Challenge so far has been carving out concrete time to take conversations further than gathering contacts.
BingoBoingo: That and picking a date to get the rest of the stuff out.
asciilifeform: diana_coman: you mentioned rk ; i've prepared an rk for you, using same type of ssd as prev. lemme know if you want a different type. it will be installed as soon as i get keyz to the magick door and have the entrance router configged (it arrives, loox like, on fri. also)
asciilifeform: 's transfer requests caused ARIN to take a closer look.'
asciilifeform: 'Officially, companies are not allowed to sell their IP addresses but in practice that rule is widely flouted by peddling them through brokers and then putting a transfer through ARIN's systems. ARIN is, of course, aware of the black market in addresses, but decided, after long debate, not to change the fundamental way it distributes and shifts them. It does, however, scrutinize transfers, and in this case an error in one of Golestan
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Well, it is a moving situation.
asciilifeform: 'Despite their current market value of between $13 and $19 per IP addresses, ARIN continues to provide IP addresses to its "members" for no direct cost, a holdover from the early days of the internet when IP allocation was literally a free-for-all. Depending on the size of a company, you pay ARIN an annual membership fee that starts at just $250. Members then pay between $100 and $500 for an address block with an annual maintenance f
asciilifeform: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-10-16#1945928 >> interestingly, linked piece paints a somewhat cheaper picture than earlier thrd :
mp_en_viaje: i did say 3-5kg as those are all i ever tried ; but a ladies' 5lb version prolly just as good, w=mv^2 after all
BingoBoingo: mp_en_viaje: ty, making sand with a 5lb hammer sounds like the right thing. Also fun.
mp_en_viaje: The NSF has never had a cooperative agreement, or any other agreement, with ARIN or any other similarly situated entity. In short, NSF does not believe that ARIN, or for that matter any other organization, could retroactively affect property and rights distributed to you (or any other recipient) by awardee NSI under its Cooperative Agreement with the National Science Foundation.
mp_en_viaje: item in question (from NSF General Counsel Lawrence Rudolph ) : NSF transferred a ‘thing of value’ to the awardee under the NSF-NSI Cooperative Agreement, and that awardee in turn gave it to you. …we [NSF] know of no provision under the Cooperative Agreement which would have authorized the awardee (NSI) to unilaterally reclaim IPv4 number blocks, once distributed.
asciilifeform: ...fwiw i've never 1nce heard of anyone other than landlord ( either at behest of officious snoops or on own initiative ) pinching a racked box.
asciilifeform: here they even had 'face reader' etc. stage props. i did not find it interesting, considering who it is who actually steals boxes in practice, none of these do a lick of good (or harm, really) afaik.
asciilifeform: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-10-16#1945892 << here btw also 'tea ceremonies' w/ fingerprint doors etc. they dun even need 'severed hand', there's a well-documented process using piece of sausage and gelatin etc. it's a theatrical furniture, these .
mp_en_viaje: leave your mark in this world. kill some of the boys born the same as year as you. hurt some of the girls. make a dent.
asciilifeform: it's defo worth having. and i'd like to buy a quantity, but 1st to investigate whether even possible w/out selling organs.
mp_en_viaje: there's other alternatives and etc, it's srsly a whole cant.
mp_en_viaje: but i suspect this discussion is a lot like "is bitcoin worth it". if you can get one, in the sense of, yours, you want one. if you already have one not necessarily, but if you already have 0 then yes necessarily.
mp_en_viaje: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-10-16#1945842 << at some point it was a few bux for lifetime, coming to like maybe 1k for cblock (256 ips nominally in a c block)
asciilifeform: diana_coman: 600gbp for Gb/s and full tower is only 1.5x what 'coloco' asks for same. probably inescapable given the expense of errything brit, and not necessarily bad deal if it's a cage that can get to with own hands. may be worth 2nd look
asciilifeform: diana_coman: i was fwiw shown a room fulla round-the-clock fiddlers who supposedly handle ddos.
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: yer right tho. i can always 'un-advertise''em laters, if the thing's a dud.
diana_coman: ha; so invite him to come on irc too, in #a or in #o if you prefer, what's the problem
diana_coman: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-10-16#1945831 - uhm, let me cite from footnote 1: "I can't really give their name since they don't yet have an identity really, seeing how they don't have anybody with a registered key"
asciilifeform: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-10-16#1945811 << unlike piz, i'ma not only cultivate this 1 fella, and personally, but intend to find a hot spare. cuz they actually exist. and yes will chronicle how unearthed. atm occupied w/ actually having what to go in that 1st cage when it goes live.

asciilifeform: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-10-16#1945809 << lunch actually set for when pick up keys. and asciilifeform never 1nce had a landlord who wouldn't spend evening with him , or 7y later wouldn't beg to stay .
asciilifeform: think, suppose i brag about 'ooh i leased a rack, such great doors and coffees' and then week later not plugged in. or entirely scamola.
mp_en_viaje: in other sads, ~all of the czech republic has a massive connectivity issue ; no fucking internet in prague's worth the mention, my remote-over-telco links are just as bad because it's not tcp/ip level but actually telco level, and for some reason satcover here is shit right no
mp_en_viaje: TWO valets, WITH tits. a standard never before deployed in the history of feudalism. a duke might, MAYBE, get two pages, but that'd be just about it.
mp_en_viaje: because why the fuck like some man you meet or buy a steak for some man you like or anything in the vein of life.
ossabot: Logged on 2019-10-15 22:58:52 asciilifeform: nao, i do not yet know whether these people are Officially 'ixp'. but appears that serve a similar function, several regional isp are tied together there, and they can process bgpism, service client-owned ip real estate etc

mp_en_viaje: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-10-15#1945725 << fwiw i had dozens of sticks hammered into inexistence. you want a 3-5kg hammer, the first 2-3 hits expose the chips no matter what, the plasticovers fly like insect elitrae. then the chips become dust in 2-3 more hits, can count 3-5 sticks dead / minute in qualified hammerer hands.
ossabot: Logged on 2019-10-15 19:19:48 asciilifeform: ^ article will disappoint folx who wanted to see the coffee, board rooms, other 'imponade', these can show later if anyone gives a shit. so far just the goods.
mp_en_viaje: i would be much surprised if indeed a full ONE PERCENT of the dependencies you perceive/imagine/hallucinate are actual bona fide legitimate dependencies. you live your life in the http://trilema.com/2014/ubuntu-is-a-worse-piece-of-shit-than-ms-dos-ever-was/ style ; naming some outfit doesn't depend on whether they're good, it depends on whether they're important, which they are already since you drove there. explaining what you did and why you did
mp_en_viaje: is this what, you got a hole in your head, are you reverso-doomed ?
mp_en_viaje: you just make a throwaway side comment in log WHEN PROMPTED
lobbes: Small fix, so I'll probably release a vpatch tomorrow for it. (about to fall asleep right now)
lobbes: (i.e. it wasn't parsing the "1" from the config, as it was reading it as a string. Thus couldn't properly toggle to debug mode.)
lobbes: in logotronics news, I discovered a tiny bug in bot.py's debug toggle (of all places). the "if irc_dbg == 1" should be "if int(irc_dbg) == 1"
asciilifeform: 1st to test that a cage in world's most batshit jurisdiction is actually livable.
asciilifeform: lacking a working time machine, asciilifeform did not hurry to buy ip tract, just yet.

BingoBoingo: How they keep folks in though is they have a relatively lavish and unfunded "caja militar" for retirement
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Well the Armada is also the coast guard. Lots of small boat for that. Also a Naval Infantry that does the motorcycle escort thing.
BingoBoingo: Privates/sailors get around 10,000 pesos a month which is below the minimum for any other activity in the country at 15,000 pesos
BingoBoingo: And the military pay here is... Abysmal. By Uruguay standards. Director of the Hospital Militar makes 70,000 pesos a month, because that what his rank gets him. 35+ pesos to the dollar...
asciilifeform: a.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Too old. Not (yet) a citizen.

asciilifeform: nao, i do not yet know whether these people are Officially 'ixp'. but appears that serve a similar function, several regional isp are tied together there, and they can process bgpism, service client-owned ip real estate etc
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i inquired whether dc is primary line of biz in that shop. seems that it is not, they bolt together and sell 1 of those 'disk array' things, petabyte ea. there's a factory floor of sorts.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: they dun seem to have side holes, but may be able to 'cheat' and bolt to rear of shelf. if it actually comes that i have a packed booth.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: lol, dun let this become a life-consuming project
BingoBoingo: trinque: I do not have a concrete cremation plan yet. Magnesium blocks are not as ubiquitous here as in old country. Will be hitting up large 'big box' type operation tomorrow shopping packing supplies and will check their outdoors section.
asciilifeform: trinque: i'ma retry it w/ mbr, i dun have a >2tb usb keychain that'd justify gpt and dun expect anybody else does
trinque: BingoBoingo: do you have a disk cremation plan btw?
trinque: BingoBoingo: no thanks, I'm going to take the opportunity to simplify my server situation a bit and consolidate.
lobbesbot: trinque: Sent 20 hours and 8 minutes ago: <BingoBoingo> Were you wanting a blog set up on the 'anyserver' as well?
asciilifeform: ^ article will disappoint folx who wanted to see the coffee, board rooms, other 'imponade', these can show later if anyone gives a shit. so far just the goods.
