asciilifeform: otoh emule(donkey? i dun even know which is the original name) net somehow soldiers on, containing errything from ro tapes , scans of maths b00kz, obscure compilers for long-dead archs, just about whatever
mircea_popescu: fuck me sideways, i had no idea torrents are for one to be able to amass fifty days' worth of hot topic cctv footage.
asciilifeform: meanwhile, in vintage mircea_popescu , http://trilema.com/2013/the-color-of-gray << i had entirely forgotten that we had this in 2013.
BingoBoingo: One day at a time, Keep it simple, easy does it, working on getting that AA groove back. I can only imagine how much more alien this shit would be if I would have went "jolo presents azn bsns" http://btcbase.org/log-search?q=jolo
mircea_popescu: infuriating as all hell, i grant you, but then again such has been missionary work since 1492.
BingoBoingo: I am going to grab lunch and try to shake off some of this adrenalin
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> BingoBoingo: shouldn't it be in orclang ? << No. They have made it clear they know more than enough English, and you don't make strong asks in their own linguistic territory. And the head of the tech team does fluent English including idiomatics. I have met enough of their people to know the message going to be understood.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> BingoBoingo "there is no way to" / "you can't even provide the bare bones necessary supplies for using your services" << Sent with the further reminder : "From our earliest conversations I was clear that housing customer provided hardware was the focus of my business. The quotes for new Supermicro servers have not interested them from a cost basis perspective, and now they are getting together a pile of hardware to
mircea_popescu: in other not-news, i've been shitting like a colon courrier over here, i had no fucking idea i was that fulla shit.
hanbot: jaguars on the beach?! i'm not going often enough, i guess
hanbot: that's an organization i could get behind, feed ze turtles (guideboi edition).
hanbot: i'm sure. in my experience "organized x" here means "tie yourself to 'bilingual' guide, by which we mean box of overeager wordsalad, listen to five precautions per actionable item, getcher FREE dorkscout badge"
mircea_popescu: i suppose this explains why ~all of them automatically assume "this is my job". teh state has so failed the individual, it's inconceivable one might you know, fucking live.
BingoBoingo: So, before I send this missive off, does it convey the appropriate level of urgency and incredulity about the chassis situation http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/wWZzt/?raw=true
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-02-08#1782683 << i am disappoint!11 was expecting delish custom flame, found ~room-temp head-shaking! where is the spark, the gusto. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: aik, does the whole swarm thing where the whole beach is moving with tiny turtles, whereas i thought this was a single nest event, as there were what, a dozen or two all within a few meters of each other.
hanbot: mircea_popescu i dun think the guy in your pic is a leatherback; they have long vertical ridges on their shells, whereas tinyguy has the sorta hexagonal plates
diana_coman: asciilifeform, ahaha, I can see that; makes for a good nightmare too
asciilifeform: diana_coman: as a child i imagined that caterpillars grow linearly thicker, heavier, moar revolting, as you go towards equator, and there they would be python-sized
diana_coman: caterpiller though ughhhhh; I have seen real fat, oozy, ugly ones several summers as a child; horrible
hanbot: asciilifeform i dun think so. certainly never saw 'im.
shinohai: When I was in West Palm Beach once, I remember one of the most hilarious thing I saw on beach in the morning was DNR officers arresting 10-20 Hatians a morning for digging up turtle eggs to eat.
mircea_popescu: like a sort of mute benevolent something. let's say for touching one i have an intuitive understanding of why the world was carried by turtle rather than calipiter.
diana_coman: I'm sure they can be endearing
diana_coman: mircea_popescu, sort of inept dragon-look-a-like; I heard they are tasty though (bigger ones at least)
mircea_popescu: so that's it, precious cuntlet importantly declares "i approve of this thing" and that's all her job's worth, she's done.
mircea_popescu: i dunno, dumb cunts at an age they're barely worth selling by open outcry somehow hallucinated for themselves this role whereby they sit their ass down and the world brings them shit for their evaluation.
shinohai: It was an appropriate header .... all the responses were pretty much "I liek turtles!"
hanbot: halp, i saw today's trilema header and i can't get up!
hanbot: mhm, neat. i'll check it out once the ball o' string's sorted
mircea_popescu: i just dun want you to get the impression your work's not really wanted or anything of the kind. as is perhaps very evident we have a massive shortage of human capital in teh republic, and it's been worsening over the years.
ave1: I know, I followed the recurrent discussion on binaries and uuencoded problems (with ++/-- in there).
mircea_popescu: ave1 i'd have just had you do the genesis rather than wait, but the problem is you can't really, on current inband diffing.
ave1: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-02-08#1782606, will do! I didn't know it was doube stuck. At least now something is out, if anyone want to run mp-wp on php 5.6. ☝︎
BingoBoingo: In other developments tonight will be my third night sleeping in The 5. There is now a full on multi day final solution underway in the hostel to eradicate the chinches while occupancy is low. I mean outlet covers stripped, the sweet smell of TempoXL with a few other unfamiliar (but not organophosphate, possibly terpene) scents wafting out of the warzone.
ave1: I'll be happy to regrind my 2 (so far) patches if needed
ave1: So I've made a new genesis with images removed and sha512 sums inserted
ave1: No it's not, as hanbot still had some problems with the embedded in svg images, if I read correctly.
trinque: top-left one looks like a dude. I thought that was haram
pete_dushenski: "“I find it easy to memorize,” said Saratu Ayuba, who won a gold medal in a recent contest by successfully spelling entertainment. “I know the small words. I can build them out in my head.”"
danielpbarron: i can do some as well
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: i think i saw that lobbes was getting in on the action, any other to divide the pie between ?
pete_dushenski: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-02-06#1782127 << been catching fragments. anything i can help with as far as ordering ? ☝︎
pete_dushenski: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-02-06#1782059 << sorry for the delayed response but i'm available for this if it's still needed ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2018-02-07 13:43 ave1: So, I've created a vpatch of the mp-wp I'm running, would it be OK to publish this?
mircea_popescu: i've not seen any, except two small fragments on the beach. white sorta carbide rock, notrly coral like people think of, the rosy australian stuff
mircea_popescu: so you go splat, big whoop. tho yeah, i kinda see boats with it always.
shinohai: http://archive.is/zEfQN <<< heh I didn't know this, to XRP genesis means "Block 32570"
asciilifeform: these are very popular in the beach i go to
mod6: i guess lot of these are pulled by boat tho.
mircea_popescu: they have a sort of sea paragliding here, i have half a mind to try it sometime
mod6: <+BingoBoingo> Here on the playa Pocitos we get the windsurfers, they persist when the waves get too ballsy for swimmers. << everytime I think of windsurfing, i think of horseface nearly getting hit by that giant boat.
mircea_popescu: in bucket i can float.
mircea_popescu: i certainly could manage it.
mircea_popescu: trinque it is. from what i hear can drag you 5 miles.
mircea_popescu: but i lost my 2nd pair of slippers, through the procedure of sit down in car, forget to pick them up. i guess im buying a half dozen next.
trinque: riptide got me as a kid, actually felt like kind of a little badass when I came out of it
asciilifeform: there's something to be said for being eaten at sea. but i'd still rather try for the big cats, where available
mircea_popescu: well, it varied. i go where the ocean sends me, you know ?
mod6: heheh. i used to love watching the figure skaters
mod6: sure, yeah, takes practice. i seemed to pick it up pretty ok, found that it's not /that/ different from turns on a snowboard.
mod6: <+ben_vulpes> oh man, i would really like to learn to surf << i'll never forget the first time i caught a wave. something very zen about the whole experience.
mircea_popescu: oh, and did i mention the macaws ? and the pelicans ?
mircea_popescu: i threw one a crumb of sandwich, he spent like 5 minutes trying to stuff it into his hidey-hole
mircea_popescu: correction : i see it was actually TWENTY EIGHT
lobbes: I remember setting foot in a tropical ocean for first time and thinking "ahhh this is what all the fuss is about"
lobbes: Ah, warm ocean is best ocean. I could never enjoy the cool northern ocean I grew up next to, even in the summer. My extreme lack of fat insulation always led to my body becoming a flesh anchor. "Just relax, you'll float" "huh? Relax how?"
mircea_popescu: hey, come over. i'll show you where it is. odds of girlybutt > 100%.
ben_vulpes: oh man, i would really like to learn to surf
mircea_popescu: word, i'm evolving.
shinohai: Heh I have a box of the lavender kind in my medicine chest. Good stuff.
mircea_popescu: so i broke off my legs again, had to be carried off teh beach. MAN I FUCKING LOVE THE OCEAN!
BingoBoingo: If I do it this week before more boxes arrive it is 4 screws and maybe 10 minutes of downtime.
TomServo: BingoBoingo: You might consider pointing your switch toward the back of the rack for better cable management. Gain 1U if you can double up with your qntra server. (but I would put it at the top)
a111: Logged on 2018-02-07 09:20 mircea_popescu: the idea that desktop towers are well cooled is ridoinculous on the face. i dun think half of them are, tbh.
mod6: I was kinda confused on that part.
BingoBoingo: Also next trip I am bringing a measuring tape. The hash marks go up to 20 in the middle of the cage before counting down again. I assume this means a 39 or 40 inch deep cabinet, but will measure myself to confirm.
mod6: Thank you Sir. From the box butts picture, from what i can tell, looks pretty much what I expected / standard. i.e. the 'fast'-rails that we've purchased should work ok. a few more images will help tho. thanks!
mod6: BingoBoingo: plz to request another 2 images. one with front door all the way open, as far back into the isle as can be taken. i.e. try to see if you can take a full frontal with the door open. and the same for the backside.
asciilifeform: nao if he intends to overclock ~the memory~ ( konsoomer, ddr3 or even -4 , as i understand, non-ecc... ) , then the gods themselves...
asciilifeform: overclockism is an interesting subj and -- very heavily depending on the application ( i.e. is it cpu-bound ? or will you simply be making a hotter chip wait 800 cycles for each out-of-cache memory access instead of 500... ? ) can be The Right Thing. but i have nfi what use case mircea_popescu has in mind . ( mine was number-crunching, and i had specifically written the routine to fit in L0 . )

a111: Logged on 2018-02-07 09:33 mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-02-07#1782314 << well, i'd expect airflow at all times driven by the dc HVAC. i dunno you'd want to buy space in a dc with no internal airflow. i've also never been in one that had no internal airflow. then again i've never been in a clean room that had no internal airflow either.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> but in principle, gear can't produce more heat than the electricity it gets. so i expect at some point they'll start whining about "Gotta get another rack, we can't go over 4kw/per" or w/e they do. no ? << We have 2.5 kw now, and if we need more we can get a set of incoming power lines for another 2.5 kw. After that it is time for a second rack.
BingoBoingo: <TomServo> BingoBoingo: In my experience the plastic slats are intended to better maintain hot/cold isle airflow. << This is sorta what I figured.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-02-07#1782359 << hey, my car has a flask of rum in the net behind the front seat. and i drink it, too. ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2018-02-07 04:13 TomServo: Agreed, I'll admit the overclocking really threw me.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-02-07#1782342 << kinda the idea, if i bother to send a librarian over to orcistan to start an isp, ima just as well challenge established belief. it's just sane business management. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: not to say we won't rack old school disks someone ships ; but i think that's about as far as that goes.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-02-07#1782339 << sadly, i dun see how bbisp could provide platter. for one thing, it takes way the fuck more power. for the other, it simply dun work for one of the more important republican apps, teh trb. it's just... not there. ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2018-02-07 04:07 ben_vulpes: TomServo: i personally run machines for longevity, but i can see why mircea_popescu and BingoBoingo would want to run their lowendboxen hot and cram as much into 'em as possible.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-02-07#1782314 << well, i'd expect airflow at all times driven by the dc HVAC. i dunno you'd want to buy space in a dc with no internal airflow. i've also never been in one that had no internal airflow. then again i've never been in a clean room that had no internal airflow either. ☝︎☟︎
a111: Logged on 2018-02-07 03:59 TomServo: but i've also never racked overclocked servers and would expect no joy to come from it
a111: Logged on 2018-02-07 03:58 TomServo: ben_vulpes: not sure about any air gap, all the racks i've seen are pretty pretty tight
a111: Logged on 2018-02-07 03:57 TomServo: That was my point, I don't see it being worth the effore given cpu cheapness.. even with the VAT.
a111: Logged on 2018-02-07 03:56 mod6: i haven't for 20 years, but it basically resulted in a very unstable box.
mircea_popescu: but, in any case, more of a curio/bikeshed than anything i think. overclocking isn't likely to have more than a 1% if tyhat impact either way in bbisp affairs.
mircea_popescu: the idea that desktop towers are well cooled is ridoinculous on the face. i dun think half of them are, tbh. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: re cooked : i don't expect anyone's getting cooked. half-decent run DC has no hotspot over 50 anyway, no matter what.
mircea_popescu: trinque yeah, i have no clear model in my head of what's going on. but, i expect most load other than trb will be apache or something like it. and in my experience higher clock beats more cores once you have more than 4 or so, there.
