ascii_lander: we bought the smg spare as
a guarantee that smg gets 24/365 service
mod6: Well, we want you to have
a spare. This helps S.NSA. However, ya, we can cross that bridge when we come to it.
mircea_popescu: so i guess the good news is that there's an optionable machine if things get tight. esp we'll get
a better idea later on how stable phuctor is etc.
ascii_lander: we do not currently have disks for either spare to be converted into
a live machine
ascii_lander: mircea_popescu: point of
a spare is to fall over into if main box fails (my box has 1 ps, for instance)

http://btcbase.org/log/2018-04-18#1802047 << understand correctly, i dun give half
a shit if he cleans the gurlz and eats'em. what i dun like is liars. why does the d00d have to pretend 'they are at my party'.
ascii_lander: let him disguise himself as
a +1 camgurl, to buy.
mircea_popescu: ascii_lander, it's not
a firm "no trading with bozos" ; seems to me you appreciate the distinction between selling an item and selling hosting in other contexts. people that are willing to take your cash payment upfront for
a piece of hard candy might nevertheless not agree to rent you their garage.
☟︎ ascii_lander: if mircea_popescu has
a firm 'no trading with negged bozos' concept
mircea_popescu: but in any possible read of this whole thing, it's ONE thing to say, "oh, you're new, here, register
a key and i'll rate you 1 and now you're in the wot and all's well" amnd it's ANOTHER thing to say "well, someone negrated you but i think he's
a moron anyway"
mircea_popescu: well i mean, you don't have
a standard that's comprehensible from the oustide, as it stands now.
ascii_lander: mircea_popescu: iirc d00d was defrocked for being
a bore, rather than for chicanery
ben_vulpes: shit damn if i weren't running
a radon test right now the whole neighborhood would be listening to mathieu
ben_vulpes: > All in all, the Mathieu household saw no more than 1,000 francs
a month, and 190 francs had to be subtracted for the monthly rent
mircea_popescu: sandi3, no, really, "You have reached the public forum of The Most Serene Republic,
a terrorist organisation dedicated to the creation of
a safe space for the elites to productively defect to, leaving the pantsuit stranded behind."
sandi3: Yeah but, elevator pitch, do you have
a quickie?
mircea_popescu: i also got
a bunch of brits together and got them to declare it's no longer the uk, it's "muslims rapeshack fuckface factory"
sandi3: AH, sorry, I've been wrong on this for
a while then
mircea_popescu:
a buncha brits got some gypsies together some time in the 60s and got them to declare "they are now called roma"
sandi3: Or
a had some roots there at some point
mircea_popescu: sandi3, what that and which country ? gypsies don't have
a country.
sandi3: I'm just not sure if thats
a good or bad thing in the country
sandi3: I do have
a bit of an adrenaline rush almost
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: been
a backburner thought for
a bit now; what's the ferry cost again?
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes, also, not to meddle, but you might consider saving on wu extortion by having BingoBoingo take trip to bsas, sell
a coin or two, come back.
ckang: 36 bays, should be good for
a while
ckang: i built
a storage server
a while back,
a 4u and 2u supermicro
ben_vulpes: eh,
a thing worth doing's worth doing correctly, i've not verified it yet
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes, also invoice for snsa's colo, but plox do
a special job for me : remainder of q2.
ckang: god
a nose ring would drive me nus
ckang: but chrome has
a 'desktop site' option which request the regular version
mircea_popescu: heh. trilema doesn't EVEN HAVE
a mobile version. because the "desktop" version looks perfect on mobile as it is.
ckang hasn't read the log so is
a bit confused
mircea_popescu: ah ah. so you're not actually running around like
a singapore coolie, trying to come up with strings imaginary girls "said" and so on.
ckang: so its just clicking
a link and it joins basically
ckang: mircea_popescu: unsure about anythign else but i have
a POST request i send to irccloud to make
a new account
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes, can i have
a calculation rather than
a figure ?
ckang: nah i make them irccloud and gpg and send
a link that takes them in
ascii_lander: mircea_popescu: lol, if he sends them
a working chat link, they might find out about the bitcents
trinque: so how'd she send
a screenshot of your desktop
trinque: that's also
a visual studio icon at the bottom.
ascii_lander: diana_coman: lemme know if you need
a hand , though i will have spotty connectivity for the next 2day
mircea_popescu:
a cool. but we're paying them for hosting 2 items for us yes ?
a111: Logged on 2018-04-18 22:13 mircea_popescu: going through my list here... sooo asciilifeform i don't see
a phuctor up ? we get what, two boxes hosted ?
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: hadn't yet, last discussion was re an entirely different box, but we settled on
a 1.2x purchase price per annum (with guaranteed spare), or
a tidy .48
trinque: aha, don't have any interest in the thing being
a box that can snap shut on people. why'd they use it if so?
a111: Logged on 2018-04-18 22:11 ben_vulpes: ey trinque under what conditions will deedbot refuse
a reg'd key wallet functions?

☟︎ ben_vulpes: ey trinque under what conditions will deedbot refuse

☟︎ ben_vulpes: anyways, have the fourth month at the quarterly rate or i'll refund
a month. your option.
ben_vulpes: yeah i may take it down, it's
a bit silly.
mircea_popescu: trinque, here's
a thing : i have
a list of invoices, and they're all "invoice #" 1. this is silly, could the # actually count them ?

a pretty fine price signal : when btc goes down, incentive to buy pizarro equity goes up. when it's eventually listed you can almost judge btc usd pair by its share price.
ben_vulpes: i do not understand the behavior; he runs
a perfectly fine bot for god only knows how long, gets threatened with defrocking, system loses all semblance of reliability in parallel with
a few hissy fits
ben_vulpes: ah lost shinohai's bot because he wants to look at logs some more instead of providing
a useful tool

a list of include-by-reference fifty items long.)
mircea_popescu: (and no, it's not good. it may shock in the sense of "omfg, i had no expectation anything can be done", but good it can't be, because romanian is
a highly cultured language, and when you say "tramvai" ie "tramcar" you don't merely say that, but also include by reference "aiurea-n tramvai", which is
a typically romanian construction, and susai-s not merely Sonchus arvensis but also all the references in all the "new realism" c
mircea_popescu: spyked, apparently you have no comments ? anyway, "the smiling girl i saw today bewitched my soul entirely ; another line goes in
a diary that's read by me, and Mr. Sorrowly."
☟︎ ben_vulpes: i will point out that this rockchip will be
a poor production trb host; but will be
a fine trb experimentation platform for trinque's audit
a111: Logged on 2018-04-03 18:23 mircea_popescu: douchebag i'll get you
a sever once the pizarro folk unwrap their heads enough to actually have one on offer. so you can tinker on gentoo, trb etc and get out of the "vps" bs hell.
spyked: the best story I have -- speaking of "interesting life stories" -- is that one of the "hired guards" ("paznic") at school, while
a kid, was "first man accused of terrorism". bet guy did his field study on our (local) school before planting grenade at famous high school.
mircea_popescu: spyked, the advantage of
a leisured life started somewhat later, i guess. i certainly had all the time in the world to hang out in bars with all the "inteligentsia" until i heard most of the stories.
mircea_popescu: (for the rotakus : the bit in question is "surisul fetei din tramvai m-
a fermecat definitiv. am inc-o drama la activ, exact ca domnul ion susai." in romanian it's actually notbad poetry, to my exacting standards that somehow manage to exclude most of it. not actually translatable, sadly, in the sense that it's too dependent on language for its substance, if you translate it there's nothing left. but anyway..)
spyked was 'lil kid in the '90s anyway, didn't casually start exploring bucharest shithole until early 2000s. sure, heard stories of the usual ex-doctor/university professor bum/taxi driver and met
a few weirdos, but otherwise neighbourhood consisted mostly of gypsies, while -- believe or not -- downtown filth was too varied to remember any specific face/case
mircea_popescu: spyked, there was some dumb bitch whose name i forget "tryina make it in dis biznis" that fell for it and put him in studio for one of their inane talkshow as if genuine article. he certainly wasn't
a "great director from braila" etc. however, he was in fact
a) busking and b) coming up with lulzy shit, quite in the vein of "surisul fetei din tramvai". and the "you can't possibly know him" bit is asking for it -- i'd not have
spyked: thanks for the reference. will read up on it and find
a way to add it to the review
LordMPofTMSR: ascii_lander, something like that, for the rockchips. however, what i was talking about is
a 1 or i guess 2u general purpose drop-in replacement switch.
LordMPofTMSR: there factually was
a creative busker hanging about piata romana, mid 90s. his self-stories are in fact lies, but the link is still there neh.
ascii_lander: ( idea being, picture
a 2u chassis , from outside -- ordinary, inside -- double ps, proper switch, 32 rockchippen )
spyked: LordMPofTMSR, I had no idea. and looking for mihaita dragomirescu, all I found was news items
a la
http://archive.is/ojKnE and other cancans. if ye know for
a fact this is not made-up scandal, then I believe, but otherwise... eh.
