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: dang. good q, lessee if i can fish it out
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 ?
diana_coman: wtf else can I do
diana_coman: so tbh I think I'll get one to get my blog online already
ericbot: Logged on 2019-10-10 08:29:13 mp_en_viaje: i can't even be arsed to distinguish whether it's the case that some weirdo is in fact SO weird as to actually have an xray machine, microscopes etcetera but 0 boxes, or rather the case some fifteen yo is just talking along with the crowd, a sort of [][zelig], becoming overweight when talking to overweight people about their obexsity and growing a beard when hanging out with rabbis.
lobbesbot: mp_en_viaje: Sent 58 minutes ago: <asciilifeform> if you think [http://logs.ericbenevides.com/log/trilema/2019-10-10#1944450] [asciilifeform is liar] , then per the [http://trilema.com/2014/what-the-wot-is-for-how-it-works-and-how-to-use-it/] [mp's operating instruction] you have wrong sign bit on asciilifeform's rating. i'ma take that -9 nao.
diana_coman: I got an australian-with-dc-partner-in-US to register with deedbot
asciilifeform: diana_coman et al : all further q's for asciilifeform , in castles plox. here i'ma answer if invoked by mp and not otherwise.
asciilifeform: diana_coman: i'ma answer, 1s

asciilifeform: !Qlater tell mp_en_viaje if you think asciilifeform is liar, then per the mp's operating instruction you have wrong sign bit on asciilifeform's rating. i'ma take that -9 nao.
diana_coman: they claim they accept payment via bitcoin to direct address though so if anyone wants their details, let me know; their datacentre is in London but I won't have anything further to do with them.
ossabot: Logged on 2019-10-10 01:46:59 lobbes: I mean to say above: do you want the links appearing in the log lines to be enclosed in <a href> tags
mp_en_viaje: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-10-10#1944406 << ah, i thought you meant the clickable timestamp. uh, tbh the answer stays the same : whichever works easiest.
mp_en_viaje: i mean wtf, it's a little rich,
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: aand multi-km worth of trucks traffic jam, ftw. i betcha someone crashed.
diana_coman: well, I'm still trying here to get on top of the logs but between emails/isps/ixps lists & all that, it's not going that fast and I'm not even in the forest.
mp_en_viaje: i don't need it, seeing how selection mechanism, but i certainly won't make you rip it out. besides, perhaps more convenient for peeps used to it.
ossabot: Logged on 2019-10-10 01:41:28 lobbes: mp_en_viaje: I meant to ask earlier, do you want the logged lines on the blog to be linkable ala the standard logger?
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.
mp_en_viaje: i discover aspects i was deluded on pretty much weekly.
diana_coman: and I think he took me for some swiss coman shmidt diana academic, lol
diana_coman: mp_en_viaje: I'm amassing here a long list of stuff to report, myeah
mp_en_viaje: excellent inaugural of new host, "my shit got fucked here's what i did about it", come to thinl of it.
mp_en_viaje: diana_coman, report on blog later too i imagine ?
diana_coman: and I was just finishing the bashing-email, now need to tweak a bit; because he still has funny ideas.
diana_coman: o.O meanwhile london-based director "looked up who I am" and thinks it might be possible
ossabot: Logged on 2019-10-09 23:59:43 trinque: BingoBoingo: man I hardly think perfect's the word here. it literally means complete!
ossabot: Logged on 2019-10-09 23:03:00 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.
ossabot: Logged on 2019-10-09 23:02:01 trinque: anyhow that copy I wrote for your wacky larping index page never went up. I don't beg my way into other people's struggling businesses.
ossabot: Logged on 2019-10-09 22:59:18 trinque: I don't know if the soviets invented some kind of circumcision that removes the "and then you persuade people to give you their money for the thing you have"
ossabot: Logged on 2019-10-09 22:24:30 lobbes: In unrelated news, I turned 32 today (yesterday?). Death clock keeps ticking.
mp_en_viaje: similarily, if i was hiring and this engineer dude showed up, passed the quals, and then explained that he must have limo service from company, because he can't drive and is affraid of trams and the bus driver is mean to him, i'd hve similarly said no thanks. because, again, some dude too inept to have mastered transportation is not qualified to play the engineer, irrespective of what the paperwork girlies say.
ossabot: Logged on 2019-10-09 22:23:12 asciilifeform: which i suspect is at least part of the reason mp didnt want it.
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: i can't even be arsed to distinguish whether it's the case that some weirdo is in fact SO weird as to actually have an xray machine, microscopes etcetera but 0 boxes, or rather the case some fifteen yo is just talking along with the crowd, a sort of [][zelig], becoming overweight when talking to overweight people about their obexsity and growing a beard when hanging out with rabbis.
mp_en_viaje: because that was the structure of THAT conversation, actually, irrespective what the shit between your ears may have misrepresented it as : i noted you got your fingers caught, and then i pointed out WHY you got your fingers caught, and then took the first opportunity to offer some slack to extract yourself.
mp_en_viaje: and yes i had thought that offering you the opportunity to at least rack some of that, thereby liquidating it without losing ownership, would be exactly the pill to resolve the cash flow woes of an otherwise useful and intelligent gent.
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: it'll never be accepted, because stupid is stupid, and "i can't do x" is never anything but stupid.
mp_en_viaje: your self-permitted "oh, i can't do x, but that's ok" went as far as it did, ~tolerated~, not accepted.
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: 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.
ossabot: Logged on 2019-10-09 21:04:31 lobbes: http://logs.ericbenevides.com/log/trilema/2019-10-09#1944047 << if this were to be done I'd say trinque probably better fit for the role. While I am always hungry for BTC, my orcbux stash took a hit while jettisoning dependopotamus. I'm currently regrouping financially speaking, and while my monthly cashflow should be increasing by ~ $1k in the coming months, I'll still be at 'pauper' level in real terms. Consumption c
mp_en_viaje: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-10-09#1944210 << nobody's talking to you as some sort of established pile of wonder, where what you ~have~ is interesting. i'm sure it's not. the idea is whether what you ~do~ can be interesting. if you're leaving for thailand, it's one thing,
diana_coman: there should be more coming as I've contacted yest ~30 new providers.
diana_coman: in early morning crop, only 4 replies: 1 is "please hold on, will enquire"; 2 is "invoicing is a problem because local laws bla" (I've replied to them with simple solution aka their person comes and interfaces); 3 is can't do + we are obnoxious and you do as we say (south koreans too!) 4. is again "help, please hold, will ask boss"
lobbes: I mean to say above: do you want the links appearing in the log lines to be enclosed in <a href> tags
lobbes: mp_en_viaje: I meant to ask earlier, do you want the logged lines on the blog to be linkable ala the standard logger?
lobbes: turns out, btw, that the whole "detect permalinks structure" thing wasn't even needed... the "guid" field does not represent, as I erroneously thought prior, the absolute path to the post. mp-wp just puts the absolute path in there "by default" as the guid. Saved a lot of time by realizing that
lobbes: in other news, I have knocked out all items in week 4 mp-wp work plan. Next on list is: the search blog portion, and the sending pingbacks from irc portion
asciilifeform: http://logs.ericbenevides.com/log/trilema/2019-10-10#1944379 << 'gas' is a 'when', not 'if', it aint a 'ohai i'ma coward'. refs to well-known hazards of living in totalitarian shithole.

ericbot: Logged on 2019-10-10 02:01:18 trinque: anyhow that copy I wrote for your wacky larping index page never went up. I don't beg my way into other people's struggling businesses.
BingoBoingo: trinque: Well that's kind what the loper-os vision of computing is. Compare to MP's I'll buy it but it better work or I'll break it.
trinque: BingoBoingo: man I hardly think perfect's the word here. it literally means complete!
BingoBoingo: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-10-09#1944320 << Death comes for everyone. Your micro/macro risk calculation organs are calibrated in a way that all to frequently weighs in favor of the perfect at the expense of the possible and at times the necessary as well. I am trying to take Señor Popescu's lessons and if he thinks I ought to apprentice as a datacenter tech in an actual employement role... I'm going put myself out there
lobbes: BingoBoingo: confirmed. I have both recent blog dump and auctionbot postgres dumps. I should be good to go for the time-being
lobbes: BingoBoingo: I have (I think) recent backups of that already, but I would love it mailed if that is being offered. I can pay for postage ofc
BingoBoingo: lobbes: no, at least not when I uploaded
lobbes: trinque: ah okay, worx. I am in
lobbes: trinque, sure I can test.
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.
trinque: anyhow that copy I wrote for your wacky larping index page never went up. I don't beg my way into other people's struggling businesses.
trinque: I don't know if the soviets invented some kind of circumcision that removes the "and then you persuade people to give you their money for the thing you have"
trinque: recall I offered to redo your website (as a first step into your having any marketing effort whatsoever)
asciilifeform: trinque: i had dulap scroll to a physical screen 24/7, for instance.
asciilifeform: i'm not even making a joke against mp , perhaps he's right that somewhere there lives the hero with 8 hands who can do all of this on spec.
trinque: can't say that I do.
trinque: nah, I don't
lobbes: On that note, I'm off to sew mp-wp bot before we all die of old age
lobbes: In unrelated news, I turned 32 today (yesterday?). Death clock keeps ticking.
asciilifeform: which i suspect is at least part of the reason mp didnt want it.
asciilifeform: i'ma have to liedown soon.
BingoBoingo: Aite, I'm going to stop sitting on the DC floor, put some cables in the bag and hope it isn't raining when I reach the surface world
asciilifeform: i aint about to try to convince that x == y when it != . or that i can bake an x outta toothpicks in 3days.or whichever.
asciilifeform: if i had x up my sleeve, i swear, would not lie, would pull it out.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: mp asked for x. upfront i told that can only produce y. he said 'no ty' and i respect.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I can't help it if no one finds the US safe and rich enough to do bicycle cash deliveries
asciilifeform: i've had a certain piece of shit running there for 5y, lobbes . and it stayed up 24/7/365.
asciilifeform: iirc it even knows how to eat btc ( tho ftr i never once considered to try )
asciilifeform: lulazon , for all that i spit on it, worx. like a well-cleaned airport toilet in munich .
asciilifeform: btw just as mp_en_viaje said 'orc dc is at least just as terrible, turns out, as usa dc' i'm quite convinced that 'lease rando box from turks' aint any 'cleaner' than 'ask asciilifeform for lulazon aws in 15min'
lobbes: right, temporary solution. I.e. didn't seem germane to 'can't teleport boxen' point re: the rack convo
lobbes: I mean, wasn't the UY1 nao problem already solved earlier in the convo with stop-gap measures
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i dun force-feed people , it dun work.
BingoBoingo: Maybe they did? Anyways what I read this afternoon was MP opening up the chance to start deploying S.NSA funds to rent and give pipe to a rack, that while in hostile lands is near-ish to asciilifeform who seems married to the same lands. When faced with this offer the reflexive response was to terminally stall on the fiat/BTC conversion problem. You did not propose investigating or collaborating with other folks still stuck inside the
lobbes: I believe it. Most big corps also bought into "cloud" marketing
lobbes: http://logs.ericbenevides.com/log/trilema/2019-10-10#1944215 << not really, tbh. Would rather not be chained to the zone for any longterm. Medium term plans include sitting tight while I save up a sizable wad of fiatola (now that I *can* actually save) and sort through the crap I've accumulated; sending unessentials to /dev/null
asciilifeform: lobbes: the usa hosters that deal w/ humans, are pretty starved for biz & eagertoplease. they're dying under lulazon and other 'i can't believe it ain't hosting!'
lobbes: Ended up just calling my current usg hoster I use for the logs; they said no problem and would get a second server leased and provisioned 'today' (albeit I was told this 12 hours ago) . I'll say one thing, at least this particular usg hoster is responsive.
