trinque knows BingoBoingo is *not* trying to omit things, just sets off allergies I developed dealing with other folks

trinque: if I'm reading this correctly, 26.8 + 5.90 funnybux / wk, which is notbad.jpg

mircea_popescu: trinque thinking about it, dozen boards, dozen cpus, two dozen hdds, ram, fgs... i doubt he can actually carry this much.

a111: Logged on 2018-02-06 01:57 mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo phf trinque diana_coman so i'm thinking of basically getting a dozen amd fx-8350s (because just 125w compared to say fx-9590s 220) racked in u2 mbs (say maybe ASRock 970M PRO3 ? i thinkl that fits in 2u neh ?) with 64 gb ram each and a coupla ssds ? any complaints/suggestions ?

trinque: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-02-06#1781846 << I've been very pleased with an ASRock-based tower I built recently. ☝︎

trinque: we might even get to the point where I *am* willing to quote fees ahead of time

trinque: not hard at all; I'm of course recording it all

mircea_popescu: trinque i suspect his whole thing was "how much under "all" must i withdraw to get it through". but in any case, how hard would it be to have a !!fee that reports "past week avg fee : x (y txn)" "past month avg fee" etc.

mod6: I'm certain that I don't know all of what was discussed between yourself and mircea_popescu - even in this very chamber.

mod6: I'm not here to tell you what to do.

asciilifeform: mod6: it isn't clear what i am to apologize to mircea_popescu for : not being a telepath ? not having extra set of hands to make errything on conveyor happen at once ? what, exactly.

asciilifeform: if he says ' ok, moron, go fucking finish it ' i'ma scratch head and finish it ; otherwise i got 9000pounds of what to still do otherwise

asciilifeform: mod6: i apparently do not have a good working model of mircea_popescu .

mod6: I srsly doubt anyone thinks you're an idiot. I certainly do not. Maybe just take an irc break for a few hours. Stop your converyor belt, go and write blog post about boxen; even if too late. Ask forgiveness. Who knows, maybe Mr. Popescu changes his mind. Maybe not. But eitherway, lesson learned 'eh?

trinque: danielpbarron: if somebody withdraws entire balance, I subtract the tx fee from that amount.

asciilifeform: currently i have a clogged conveyor, consisting of 'keep weekly posts, idjit' and 'manifest of now-and-future iron' , in that sequence . asciilifeform sits and continues to grind conveyor. meanwhile mircea_popescu throws fit, 'you fucked it' , etc.

trinque: because consider, I automatically quote you a fee, and then the mempool fills up. now what

trinque: and nah, I'm not quoting them ahead of time

asciilifeform: i am utterly unable to make sense of mircea_popescu's eggog

asciilifeform: actually i know, apparently, nuffin

mircea_popescu: you realise this is the definition of tilt, yes ? "i know better than mp" etc.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu sees 'fucked it up', i see alcoholic fit.

a111: Logged on 2018-02-06 01:31 mircea_popescu: here, chew on this doozy : i will not use any of your shit now.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu naturally is free to barf and 'i'ma use old shoe instead' because 'you did not format it as i demanded!' .

asciilifeform: the way i parsed mircea_popescu's original work req, is that it was to be primarily a manifest of iron ready to fly in time for phf.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the fucking problem is exactly the "partial info". i'd rather have none.

mircea_popescu: so that instead of http://btcbase.org/log/2018-02-06#1781846 i could've said (YESTERDAY) "hey folks, look at alf's article, make comments" ☝︎

asciilifeform: hanbot , mircea_popescu : it ain't unnecessary, but it was stuck on the conveyor behind delayed ch10. asciilifeform (apparently mistakenly) assumed that mircea_popescu could act on the partial info. instead he 'yer an idjit, i'ma make my boxes from old shoes nao instead'

mircea_popescu: why. because it never was "hey, re-tell me what i already know", it was "hey, try and apply your knowledge to producing a list of what we want to buy"/

a111: Logged on 2018-02-02 23:52 asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i'ma uncrate things, take pics, expect a roundup sunday night.

hanbot: asciilifeform so why not say "this task is stupid and unnecessary and i won't do it" instead of http://btcbase.org/log/2018-02-02#1780446 ? ☝︎

asciilifeform: hanbot: i have nfi what the reaction is, possibly mircea_popescu has indigestion instead of rum, or whatever. i have a total of 3 usable machines, purchased after consultation with mircea_popescu , and reimbursed by him; specs were detailed to mircea_popescu before and after purchase . 1 machine was intended for s.nsa in particular; 2 for use as mircea_popescu later sees fit. whole thing was laid out in the logs on several occasions,

asciilifeform: hanbot: the man's clearly imbibed a critical mass of high octane rum, i can only leave him to digest it .

hanbot: (calendar. srsly. it sounds stupid, i promise it's not.)

asciilifeform: i have nfi what to answer to this.

asciilifeform: hanbot: and indeed i'm still grunting out prev item (ffa ch10 ) in conveyor.

mircea_popescu: and as an added bonus, you now get to go about looking for lords willing to bring your ideas about republican iron to the table, because i'm not further looking for your input on the topic just as i'm not further looking for your input on eucrypt topic. ☟︎

hanbot: asciilifeform i don't doubt it, but my tidbit is solely re what i quoted from you, ie got stuck trying to satisfy earlier item, and so hadn't produced other item by deadline that prolly didn't even seem like one

asciilifeform: hanbot: i have the full stack of communiques from asciilifeform to mircea_popescu re each purchase, his responses, etc. and so does he. it dun seem to help.

hanbot: anyway i humbly suggest breaking out the day by day calendar etc when met with surprises as above.

asciilifeform: ~i~ fucked delivery ?!

danielpbarron: mircea_popescu, let me know the address? i'll send them tomorrow

hanbot: <asciilifeform> picture this, i even took the photos, and cropped, etc. and got stuck trying to satisfy mircea_popescu's earlier item << fwiw, i suspect organizational trouble rather'n deliberate anti-delivery here. i'll say: i spent years imagining i.e. deliberate, detailed scheduling, writing "bullet points" etc was for dumb people, and that naturally i didn't need it. and i got by for various definitions of gettin', but didn't wash in mp's com

danielpbarron: also, should i unbox them to reduce the size/cost?

mircea_popescu: he leaves on 13th, so if you send them say tomorrow they can't possibly be late i dun think ?

danielpbarron: i can invoice afterwards, what speed shipping should i do?

danielpbarron: mircea_popescu, yes, how much money? i don't know exactly

mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo phf trinque diana_coman so i'm thinking of basically getting a dozen amd fx-8350s (because just 125w compared to say fx-9590s 220) racked in u2 mbs (say maybe ASRock 970M PRO3 ? i thinkl that fits in 2u neh ?) with 64 gb ram each and a coupla ssds ? any complaints/suggestions ? ☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎☟︎

asciilifeform: i ask this because the 3 boxes were purchased in autumn, after pedantically detailed discussion with mircea_popescu (see s.nsa reports for sept, oct 2017); , and on his express approval, paid for, burn-in tested, etc.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i'ma ask , naturally mircea_popescu dun gotta answer : how much rum today

asciilifeform: i also have a price table of disks, and discussion of future availability of opteron

a111: Logged on 2018-02-02 21:40 asciilifeform: i'ma have to uncrate and photo then, later this weekend.

asciilifeform: picture this, i even took the photos, and cropped, etc. and got stuck trying to satisfy mircea_popescu's earlier http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-30#1778264 item ☝︎

asciilifeform: i'ma buy his airfare.

mircea_popescu: i don't see how s.nsa will afford a server now, no.

mircea_popescu: so, people who ~aren't~ asciilifeform : phf still needs a pile of gear for his flight ; BingoBoingo can't produce it locally. i'm looking for system suggestions.

mircea_popescu: i will literally not take any of your items now.

asciilifeform: i'ma try and make what i suspect mircea_popescu wanted. brb

asciilifeform: i genuinely don't grasp what is mircea_popescu's problem.

mircea_popescu: here, chew on this doozy : i will not use any of your shit now. ☟︎

mircea_popescu: i tell you to do x, you do non-x, then whine about not being in the loop. then learn nothing from the experience, ready to do it all over again

asciilifeform: what's there to say. i have these 3 machines.

asciilifeform: but i can't magically turn it into moar text

asciilifeform: i can paste it in a post, if mircea_popescu really wants

mircea_popescu: you're like, untalkable to. "do you need pictures ?" "no, i said spec" "ok, ima dump it in chan" "NO I SAID DO NOT DUMP IT IN FUCKING CHAN"

BingoBoingo: I have not been there, but how many disks are you going to fit in an envelope before it starts looking like a package?

asciilifeform: ^ am i the only one who ever bothers with the !#s from:noob

a111: Logged on 2017-12-30 20:14 jawbone2: My name is Jim Weaver I live in Florida. I do not keep a blog yet. That is coming with my webserver project

jawbone2: I live in Florida. A sunny place for shady people

jawbone2: Howdy my dad is dead, so I suppose he does what dead people do.

asciilifeform: oh misprint : #1 has 2.5" bays. (this makes 0 practical diff, ssd only comes in 2.5, i installed converter rails in the 3.5 slots of the others )

asciilifeform: all 3 have hotswap disk rails; and (why, i do not know, but it's there) 'slim' dvd drive.

shinohai: Soon, BingoBoingo .... I have a relapse of the flu curse wafting around here.

mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo i figure should prolly enact an expense account for you, looking through these ledgers. how's 20 bux a day sound ?

BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> btw BingoBoingo , what's a 'CoWork' ? << An office arrangement where they set you up with an address suitable for local fiscal reporting. Lotta outsourced remote workers here, many of the better locals I have encountered. Place to do actual work, the hostel isn't equiped to accomodate that.

BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> aww poor bb lost weight! how you holding up down there ? << It beats the US, but the better my spanish gets the less impressed I am with the locals.

BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> BingoBoingo http://www.thedrinkingrecord.com/2018/02/01/the-boingo-isp-january-2018-monthly-statement/#comment-114635 << what's that star in there ? << Note that got cut off where I mention expenses in pesos get converted to Dosiedoes for reporting purposes.

mircea_popescu: nope. i said, proper spec.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform btw did i miss a sunday night post of yours or what happened ?

mircea_popescu: hey, i'm not saying they're credible, or at least competent at lying. you asked for the #.

mircea_popescu: i dunno

a111: Logged on 2018-02-05 22:37 mircea_popescu: aite, well, you'll have to survive on the fiat you have, i dun see selling at these joek prices as sane.

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-02-05#1781690 << might mircea_popescu share an algo for distinguishing 'joek price' from 'sane' ? i could use one ☝︎

mircea_popescu: aite, well, you'll have to survive on the fiat you have, i dun see selling at these joek prices as sane. ☟︎

BingoBoingo: I misjudged the capacity that doesn't involve taking the boat to Buenos Aires.

BingoBoingo: Right now I am waiting and still asking people if they want coffee

BingoBoingo: By the time I made the date it was http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-23#1774838 The trade cost 0.04876872 in BTC and delivered 500 Dosiedoes ☝︎

BingoBoingo: So far, the other people advertising on local BTC last I checked were skittish. Will try to make some more trade dates, but the OKcupid thing pre-mike_c seemed like an easier way to meet people

mircea_popescu: but, think i, i've this nice cm thick natural linen rope for the girls, how about i use knife to cut new hole and replace mm wick with cm wick ?

mircea_popescu: and in today's "engineering's not my calling" : i have some nice thick candles, which no longer burn because the thread-thin wicks they came with aren't strong enough to melt the whole thickness and as a result they get drowned in melted wax.

asciilifeform: but i have nfi where to get board of actual cork, short of going to , wherever, portugal, and buying the tree...

asciilifeform: i can live with 'expensive'

asciilifeform: i think i have the # 5664T11 .

asciilifeform: catalogue # 425V99 , a quarter of what i have, same thickness, and minus the frame -- costs 3x what i paid

ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: i recently procured a sizable amount from grainger https://www.grainger.com/category/cork-sheet-stock/cork/raw-materials/ecatalog/N-c10?searchRedirect=cork

asciilifeform: relatedly, i recently hung up a 'premium, high end' corkboard, several square metres, and it turns out that 1) maybe half the depth is actual cork, the rest -- cardboard 2) no other kind is available ☟︎

mircea_popescu: who paid for, eg, the actual coins i got selling their bch thing, santa ?

asciilifeform: i wouldn't complain over a rerun of the sacramental 100...

asciilifeform: is what i was thinkin'!
