ericbot: Logged on 2019-10-09 00:05:43 asciilifeform: i suppose oughta proper auction.
ossabot: Logged on 2019-10-08 22:39:54 lobbes: http://logs.ericbenevides.com/log/trilema/2019-10-09#1942833 << btw, I've snagged another leased server from some singapore heathen hoster. Once they provision the thing and give login info then auctionbot will live again. However, if it is desperately needed in the meantime I can slap it up on the usg hoster as a stop-gap measure
ericbot: Logged on 2017-02-18 22:54:14 asciilifeform: (iirc we had a thread where i described how corporate ameritards, if given a problem like phuctor, would happily soak up a few $mil and megawatt of iron)
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Not one of them failed, and I can very much see why you are inclined to rehome them.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: am i wrong btw ? did even 1 fail ?
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.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I assembled it from parts. RAM, SSD, etc add up. Did not come from a surplus pile.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I'd only plug it in to see if it draws the aggro, and no. They simply unblocked the IPs per Oscar's report. Oscar is candid when the salesorcs aren't around. But... He's in a position where he's the telecom manager by title and has not the telecom to manage
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: They seemed very disinclined to lock out seeing as I wheeled out the last 1Us today, stated my intention to empty cabinet, etc
asciilifeform: aha i recall
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: It came out in duffel run. Was on tiny box I flew in that held first pizarro www and dns server along with first pizarro trb node
asciilifeform: i dun expect that anyone'll request, but see no reason to refuse if specifically requested.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: With the 1Us out I am not inclined to plug anything back in unless explicitly requested by the customer
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I am presently inside the rack. It appears once everything went dark they decided to unblock the IPs as reported. Or the did it when they saw I was wheeling out the last 1U servers and warned them I'd be back to check
ericbot: Logged on 2019-10-09 23:29:00 BingoBoingo: !q asciilifeform Were you going to pick up an "anyserver" to get the blogs back online or should I do it when I get back from basement mission?
asciilifeform: http://logs.ericbenevides.com/log/trilema/2019-10-09#1944170 << he did say 'do it tomorrow if i dun find a proper' neh.
asciilifeform: just cuz mp dun want to inhabit it dun mean it could not be inhabited. he did not say 'i'ma excommunicate anyone who lives there' just yet.
asciilifeform: i.e. for own purposes ?
asciilifeform: lobbes: it could be revved up in day or 2 but all i got here on desk to fill with is the listed items atm.
asciilifeform: lobbes: mp dun want that one, tho, cuz ' you can't do x, can't do y, you're anti-useful ' etc, who am i to argue
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 continues to be slashed, howe
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: i cleaned the intel box in case end up asking for it if not turks.
ericbot: Logged on 2019-10-09 23:00:49 lobbes: So I agree now that 2020 delivery is, in fact, utterly insane. Fire has been lit under arse; I will kick this into higher gear
asciilifeform: http://logs.ericbenevides.com/log/trilema/2019-10-09#1944144 << ftr i actually agree with mp_en_viaje , it's, wat, a 100ln proggy?!
asciilifeform: i suspect they're ~empty like Bingo's people
mp_en_viaje: s'okay, i take the main thrust of the thing.
ericbot: Logged on 2019-10-09 20:21:21 asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: the only rackable i have in stock here is the rktron.
asciilifeform: so, this was lie, and i apologize.
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: i missed a crate when inventoried x86 boxen.
BingoBoingo: Back massaged, brb from the rack when I get there if IPs were indeed released
mp_en_viaje: well... i guess we see.
BingoBoingo: !q asciilifeform Were you going to pick up an "anyserver" to get the blogs back online or should I do it when I get back from basement mission?
BingoBoingo: Right. I wouldn't be surprised if Turkey/Russia end up sharing Europe.
lobbes: well, then I need to make sure I'm on the performance end of the stick
mp_en_viaje: sure, at the rate we're so far going we'll have nothing never, but i'm not married to the crew, i'm married to performance.
mp_en_viaje: which obviously will happen when i breadcrumb, 5+years after, whatever. what can i do.
lobbes: aha, I see. Has applications way beyond blogging alone
lobbes: So I agree now that 2020 delivery is, in fact, utterly insane. Fire has been lit under arse; I will kick this into higher gear
ericbot: Logged on 2019-10-09 19:13:37 mp_en_viaje: obv if i wanted to pay less i'd have made the award less. i don't, not because "it's what it's worth" (which very eminently isn't, true market value of the item's prolly in the $70-$150 range, depending where you buy it) but because tryina prime the pump, so people can go "hey, we made something out of crumpled wad!", why not.
lobbes: http://logs.ericbenevides.com/log/trilema/2019-10-09#1943810 << I think I get this now, and it fits with the theme of today's logs of the republic *taking ownership of a space* before the orcs do their thing. In this instance, it is the blogification of irc, and if it takes until 2020 than we've already lost the plot of the job in the first place
mp_en_viaje: if i have to buy the hardware i'll simply lease whatever random dorks have ready and be done with it.
mp_en_viaje: s nothing to fucking consider, man. if i have to buy the hardware, proximity to you is an anti-issue, you can't do x, can't do y, you're anti-useful.
mp_en_viaje: i can't imagine you need my approval or for that matter oppinion for getting yourself a box. go, get, what.
mp_en_viaje: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-10-09#1944081 << i said, "so why are you discussing it here". go, get, do, wth.
diana_coman: ftr, if no human can be found, I'll lease a server in turkey and be done with it.
asciilifeform: i'ma get a 2nd quote for 'all cage' in case.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i spoke with their fuhrer. (monkey was unable to answer all) , fella explained that 'customer must throttle himself, we just bill'
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: This is admirable, but even with them rating the ports as "burtable"... I suspect mp's inclination to get a full Gb pipe up front is how to keep the same sort of network farting from trashing the operation.
asciilifeform: this naturally does ~not~ give same 'bang for buck' as 'whole cage, motherfucker!' and mp_en_viaje -- barfs predictably. tho i was under impression that diana_coman also shopping for less than whole cage.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i'll fall on whatever grenade , but only makes sense to do if it does some good.
asciilifeform: and incidentally when they empty that 42u, i'ma have even less recourse than BingoBoingo against latech. i can't afford even hour of usa attourney i suspect . (not that it'd do much good)
asciilifeform: diana_coman: i dun dispute that it's useful. but i do not know how to do it reliably.
asciilifeform: bvt: it's overkill 'for self', i aint mp, not loaded.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: the thought of filling a 42u in usa still makes me queasy. 1 day i'ma show up there and it'll be empty, 'oops'
diana_coman: asciilifeform: converting btc is anyway useful, I'd say; dc or no dc, I really don't see why *not* do it.
asciilifeform: diana_coman: apparently i'm too stupid to ride properly.
asciilifeform: diana_coman: if you need a 2nd pair of hands, i'ma follow your instruction to look for 'human'. but atm strongly suspect that we will have to ride horses.
diana_coman: no worries, I'm not exactly fresh myself either
ossabot: Logged on 2019-10-09 15:46:17 diana_coman: fwiw I don't mind it if anyone actually wants to ride maxim but note that their "uptake" of anything proved indeed 1mm deep; just yest I had to ask *again* for the same thing I had previously asked
ericbot: Logged on 2019-10-09 18:23:58 asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: do you find it entirely unacceptable to use someone like the moldavian d00d , if someone volunteers to 'cutout' (i.e. pay him and pasture him, on command) ?
asciilifeform: diana_coman: i assume you read the discussion re 'horse' ?
diana_coman: if it's not that, I can go anywhere for same thing,not worth all the time.
asciilifeform: diana_coman: my approach was to find a ~reasonable~ dc to which can get with own hands. and to fall on the grenade of paying it from pocket. but i can see wai mp_en_viaje barfed.
diana_coman: asciilifeform: I *am* asking them precisely that and nothing less.
diana_coman: asciilifeform: you know, there were at least *some* in the whole list saying kvm; and I'm pretty sure I don't have a full list anyway.
BingoBoingo: diana_coman: Maxihost was pretty retarded with their formalism last time I searched in depth. Maybe someone else in Brasil is more responsive?
asciilifeform: diana_coman: this promises to be uphill battle. i at least did not demand 'oh hey , only dc in 400km radius, will ya register w/deedbot ?'
diana_coman: asciilifeform: atm I don't think it matters where if they do as told and come register and invoice with deedbot etc.
asciilifeform: diana_coman: so far emailing the places can physically reach. returned 1 output. but if you're overwhelmed, pgp piece of victim list and what-do-demand and i'ma help.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: apparently he also thought that i kept 15 spare piz's under my bed.
asciilifeform: see, 'i would not, could not, in the zoo...'
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: No. I would not Argentina.
diana_coman: asciilifeform: better email them too or something, there are so many, it's not like I can cover all anyway
asciilifeform: diana_coman: i aint about to question your methods.
diana_coman: BingoBoingo: fwiw I even emailed some brazilians, will see if/what they reply.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i think mp_en_viaje will sooner eat glass than go argentine
diana_coman: asciilifeform: as I was saying, now I don't bother to filter them anymore; they will filter themselves, as above.
diana_coman: in unexpected idiotic failures, monovm's automated system replies to my email to inform me that they won't look at it because I'm not registered with them.
mp_en_viaje: i dunno, maybe something comes up.
mp_en_viaje: i am interested in something like that next to someone who makes sense, though.
asciilifeform: 'i dun understand this fucking martian' != 'random'
asciilifeform: if mp_en_viaje says -- then perhaps is, who am i to say.
mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform, i believe. now you believe me when i say your household is grossly mismanaged.
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform might be intransigent, but aint a liar. i dun got 100k of any.
mp_en_viaje: i'd also expect 30yo boat-lifer to own ~100k worth of boat. and 30yo golf pro to own ~100k worth of golf gear.
asciilifeform: i think i figured it out, mp_en_viaje still thinks asciilifeform is seekritly loaded and simply intransigent
mp_en_viaje: i dunno, 20 bucks of gas and an outstanding speeding fine.
mp_en_viaje: but no small part of why i thought you had so and so is because you have others thus and following. i expect the man with 100k worth of car to have 1k worth of gas, i expect the man with egitheen slavegirls to have 20+ rooms, that sorta thing
mp_en_viaje: whatever. all this begs the question "how the fuck did you get your inventory manager to approve this insanity of outlay". with the self-obvious answer that "i am said manager myself, and i am known for my managerial acumen"
mp_en_viaje: whole bolix, i thought that's more like 7k+ these days.
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: you already said 5x 'useless', can say 6 if you like, but i get
mp_en_viaje: multiple symbolics cpus, i thought those went for 2-3k ea.
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: i'd say nomoar than 5k will be paid for it at the auction when im hanged.
asciilifeform: what's useless , and what aint, depends from who pov. for building a piz-style dc -- 100% useless. and btw asciilifeform already, i thought, killed 1 dc, why would mp_en_viaje even consider to put'im in another.
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: handful of said cpu + 1 working machine is all i got re these.
asciilifeform: i dun warehouse wheels of cheese either
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: i aint got a comp warehouse ! and moreover have nfi why mp_en_viaje thought -- did.
mp_en_viaje: i thought you had multiple chips + boards + other junk related.
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: i dun own 100k of anyffin, dun think.
mp_en_viaje: can i get yes/no ?
