BingoBoingo: But the lack of anyone in the humans box seems to be
a strong "less than skeleton/prize crew at the helm" situation
BingoBoingo: mp_en_viaje: Not outside the realm of possibility, but yes. Would be surprising. Then again there was no one in the glass humans box yesterday at an hour 1. Well after local lunch hour and
a half concludes 2. Well before local workday concludes. Fellow who walked me out had to come from one of the two other datacenters (the other two are under different S.
A. corp for Freezone purposes, maybe more solvent?)

a sort of [][zelig], becoming overweight when talking to overweight people about their obexsity and growing
a beard when hanging out with rabbis.
BingoBoingo: "Colocates servers, why wouldn't he hire
a 'fletes' to do the manual labor?"
BingoBoingo: Anyways, I'm pretty sure even though I wheeled out servers with
a hand truck earlier, doing so yesterday while someone was paying attention... was probably
a shock. Especially in light of the pseudo-classism thing that goes in in this part of the world.
BingoBoingo: Anyways, after taking care of some other things Imma draft
a "Let's get this liability of
a contract off both of our books and cleanly and inexpensively as possible" letter. Will not fire off without getting some reads here of the draft.
BingoBoingo: ATTN ALL: Latecho has silently disabled my access to the datacenter. All that remains in the rack per my last survey are 1. Switch for the incoming connection 2. less sophisticated switch serving RK plant 3. RK plant (minus drives) 4. Rails 5.
A small mountain of network and power cables 6. Many Racknuts, mostly unsused 7. One platic tote box, empty
crowncloud_: let me see, I'll have
a chat with my boss and see how it goes, I'll drop
a reply to the email ? or ?
diana_coman: crowncloud_: as mp_en_viaje says, in time you could bridge this over with custom software too but for the moment just
a person to do the bridging (or 2-3 on shifts, whatever); you know what'd work
diana_coman: crowncloud_: basically establish
a presence on irc too, they'll probably even train up while at it, if anything.
diana_coman: crowncloud_: and I get what you say re mixed, not like I didn't talk to...ahem, quite
a lot of isp employees those days.
BingoBoingo: And by "much of their staff" I mean my point man with
a good head.
crowncloud_: Yup -- just trying to see how to make it best possible, because I don't want to leave anyone hanging for support and at the same time, for billing as well. I don't usually want staff to interact with customers as it leads to
a very "mixed" of experience
crowncloud_: hmm issue is, not all staff have access to the datacenter stuff (for security reasons) so there's
a internal escilation for such tasks via support tickets
diana_coman: crowncloud_: they can come online too, no? have them reg
a key each and leave
a znc on, what

BingoBoingo: Most of the boxe's power ended up simply being
a sort of "fleet in being" reserve.

BingoBoingo: mp_en_viaje: I'll just throw
a BTC node on it and maybe keep it if it doesn't suck.
BingoBoingo: mp_en_viaje: You can have him go ahead. I pulled the trigger on the purchase, but haven't done setup yet. It's one of those fast delivery CentOS things, hard to tell if actual physical box or virtualized cheat box. It's an "any" box. If this service has
a guy to show up, its
a better option
mp_en_viaje: what do you recommend for basicaly
a buncha personal sites / blogs and so on ?
mp_en_viaje: BingoBoingo_, did you get
a thing going for shared clone yet ? or should i just get this guy to provide
a box ?

mp_en_viaje: but also, LOTS of fucking crashing on the autobahn, this'd be the 3 major in
a piddly 500 mile stretch we did so far. i'd guess half
a dozen dead total, too.
mp_en_viaje: in fairness, zee germans are
a pleasure to be stuck in
a stau with, such as it is. literally 1k semis orderly to the side of the road so light traffic can make it through, these folk are fuckien dsciplined.

a rider too, pretty much.

diana_coman: there are some guys from the netherlands too who were very humbly apologizing that they can't do it; at least not obnoxious like south koreans I suppose; but anyway, this is better on
a blog for sure.
ericbot: Logged on 2019-10-10 02:02:18 trinque: at any rate, I don't take pleasure in pissing on failure. it's
a weakness I have, so lets leave it at that.
diana_coman: mp_en_viaje: I'm amassing here
a long list of stuff to report, myeah
diana_coman: and I was just finishing the bashing-email, now need to tweak
a bit; because he still has funny ideas.
mp_en_viaje: the fundamental problem is that polishing
a lens until it's flawless is hard but attainable ; but polishing
a fishery until the water's perfectly flat is NOT attainable.
mp_en_viaje: perhaps because failing early is how he managed to get away from it and move back to the other lobe as
a child, or for any other reason.
ossabot: Logged on 2019-08-14 03:52:49 mp_en_viaje: it's not there because it was designed ; it's there because it was selected, which is
a different thing. selection
produces things that work, definitionally, that's what it is. not well or correctly or properly but AT ALL.
mp_en_viaje: the problem is that most of life consists of dealing with born, not made systems and structures.
selected not designed. and in dealing with that, he is TERRIBLE. he's not even at the level of
a 3yo, which'd be complete martian naivite. he's in fact numerously and profoundly counter-trained, he does things that specifically ensure failure.
mp_en_viaje: whioch isn't even universally
a bad approach, most tools are to be made to the flawless standard. which is why when he's in there gunsmithing his gun, he turns out very good work.

A student told his friend, "My teacher has amazing powers. He moves
a pen in the air and characters appear on
a piece of paper held on the other side of the river. What does your master do?" His friend replied "My great master follows Zen. When he is hungry, he eats and when he is tired he sleeps."
mp_en_viaje: in this alt-world he's
a moron-hero who can't as much as leave the house but
is besieged by armed hordes nevertheless. so you can't say that he's wasting his time watching
a termometer

mp_en_viaje: thus they indeed built
a drab gray world, with no instagram sluts vying for
a chance at being the next "avon ambassador", no twerking girlies tryna "make it in dis biz" of "rap" which consists of dudes vying for
a chance of being the nike ideal salesman, whose paper icon is in every nike shop so the actual shoe salesman can hide after this nike jesus and sell from behind the mask
mp_en_viaje:
http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-10-09#1944321 << yes, sure, in some complexly contorted re-interpretation it could be said that i don't want it because someone inept enough to have
a problem with the bitcoin is probably just as inept in other places and will do something stupid enough to be
a danger of life and limb.
mp_en_viaje: cuz that's what i fucking needed, you know, not -- god forbid --
a working isp, oh no, not that. i wanted some fucking kitchen xray shots of some long dead gramophone. THAT is what was needed, it'll make the apotropaion of alf, when the darkness comes we just show it that and it walks away.

mp_en_viaje: not even
a week ago you were grumbling about how you want whatever opterons "you sealed" back, as if you're some kind of fucking actor, maybe you own 10% of the remaining stock of opterons, who the fuck knows.
mp_en_viaje: not even half year ago you were here making
a big noise about your x-ray machine and how to adapt microscopes and shoot nonpareils out of your asshole.
ossabot: Logged on 2019-10-08 12:12:42 asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: not disputing the general principle. but finding it difficult to see how would have made
a diff re the latech thing.
mp_en_viaje: yes, on the basis of the pompous bullshit you keep spitting into the logs i had formed the impression that you're sitting on
a large stash of assorted hardware, which is
a major factor of your manifest refusal to leave the washington swamp.
mp_en_viaje: you make
a big noise, oh, "i like this, oh i do that", people end up imagining inside the noisecloud there's some substance.
mp_en_viaje: i'd rather deal with amazon than with red stapler idiot bullshit each day of the week, who the fuck do you think gives
a shit about your elaborate list of can't do's ?!
mp_en_viaje: meanwhile you've been sitting on your dumb ass for fucking decades, telling me you can't handle half
a coin like you're fucking proud of it ?
mp_en_viaje: BingoBoingo_, is in on the carpet over not managing to magic over workable orcs in the south american outback over
a coupla years ? he got there he didn't even speak the fucking language.
ossabot: Logged on 2019-10-09 21:50:00 BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Power for dollar, you do seem to have
a knack for buying machines. As I'm digesting the day's conversation the objection from mp seems to be the mindset which produces this frugality is handicapping when extended to other areas.
mp_en_viaje: in any case, if you want to sell one or ten or
a hundred bitcoin in budapest i can tell you where ; or in kiev, or in munich, or in i dunno if i make myself clear here, but this vegetative state where you can do nothing, you know no one etcetera is not fit for independent living. if you're going to live like that you must live in the household of another, as
a servant.
mp_en_viaje: that's the format, and that's even the fucking reason of existing. if this isn't what you do, in what sense are you even
a person, what the fuck, you're somebody's maid, ploughssharer, tavern wench, whatever it is you think you appear or attempt to say you're at no risk of being taken for
a gentleman.
mp_en_viaje: and that's the expectation, whoever;s resident answers questions. "i need
a car" here you go. "seems this deal's going south" "i know this lawyer", "we want to X" "you'll have to p q and r, ima send guy over to talk to you about p, no problem, q you do thus and following, r is iffy, becayse s and t considerations, ima see what can be done".
mp_en_viaje: when i returned to timisoara i moved into
a place my left-behind man on the ground got for me, when phf showed up in minsk i took him to places my advance team either researched or actually scouted, these are things.
mp_en_viaje: if i reside in
a location (which i do, multiple) i can answer
a number of questions. "where's the best restaurant", i can answer, and if i like you it'll even be "i'll take you there". "are there any hot whores ?" i can answer, and if i like you i can even send you some. "do you know
a lawyer ?" i can answer, and so following.

a lot of time by realizing that

BingoBoingo: When the Bitcoin declaration of independence went around gathering signatures in 2014, it was enough to dislike the USG and want to see the USG done. Now, for the failures of marketing outside of the MP household... much of the language about the Republic seems larpish, except when he says it because... He's been
a battleship before Bitcoin.
BingoBoingo: <trinque> the honest assessment is y'all didn't have
a man onboard that wanted to do the business part of the business. << This seems very accurate.
