mp_en_viaje: i also thought you pulled those from warehouse, myself.
mp_en_viaje: i suspect the problem is your constant confusion between "could" and "did"
asciilifeform: i never bought'em new.
mp_en_viaje: what can i tell you.
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: i have a www. since '07. was even under impression that mp_en_viaje occasionally read it.
mp_en_viaje: i thought you jsut bought shit because it was cheap / you liked it, in lieu of saving or w/e. nfi what the fuck you're doing, i confess the more i talk to you, the less i understand.
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: i dun have a surgical theatre either. nor milking machines. i was never attempting to fill a dc, until piz.
mp_en_viaje: aite, so if you're not in the business of being in business, you're not, what can i tell you.
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: you think i'd sit on a rack's worth of comp and not say ?
mp_en_viaje: yes, honestly, i had formed the impression that after years of perusing the penny-to-dollar electronic surplus stores you amassed a large collection of perfectly serviceable parts, that could in a pinch produce a cabinets worth of servers. i did.
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: the only rackable i have in stock here is the rktron.
asciilifeform: if lobbes knows how to do this, i'ma take off hat and do it w/ lobbes .
asciilifeform: no i get it, it's ~market rate.
ericbot: Logged on 2019-10-09 20:14:01 asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: i dun know how to turn btc into us-cc.
mp_en_viaje: dude, i already said, wtf. <mp_en_viaje> get 24 u and a up to gb for 5k/mo, put allthe iron you have in there and there you go.
mp_en_viaje: i am now confused.
mp_en_viaje: but i can't ever decide with you if miles gloriosus, talks of gf as "pets", plural, because why not, boihood chorus, or genuine misrepresented fellow, has all sorta things doesnt know how to put to work.
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: i dun know how to turn btc into us-cc.
mp_en_viaje: it's stupid, and i want no part of it.
diana_coman: asciilifeform: the way I see it is that one wants 1 rack just like one wants own bathroom; ie not to share.
mp_en_viaje: i didn't want all of those in 1 rack.
mp_en_viaje: 750/mo for rack + 5k for gbps pro rated is very reasonable an offer, i'd take it.
asciilifeform: i aint got one.
ossabot: Logged on 2019-10-08 15:59:48 mp_en_viaje: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-10-08#1942530 << i don't see a problem with it, provided it doesn't become a complicated game of not enough coin etc.
mp_en_viaje: so i'd rather pay 20 than 3 for 8x the space and the ownership, what's difficult to digest ?
mp_en_viaje: maybe i misunderstand this, let's see
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: ftr i also dunwant to end up in 'marriage' to this warehouse.
asciilifeform: i specifically asked 'can come in, work on machines?' answr was '24/7, just put key in'
diana_coman: fwiw I just made my stock email telling them what I want and now sending it around with way less filtering (because there isn't much to filter); I expect there'll be some emails waiting for me tomorrow but dunno if anything positive.
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: dunno, i'm simply still not recovered from allergic choke from last go.
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: it's 'bout 3x less than i expected it'd cost
BingoBoingo back with the 4 1 servers. Oscar ended up walking me out and asking if I'd checked that the IPs were opened back up again some time today.... to the powered down diskless rack. No notice had been provided that the IPs were restored. Told him I'd return and check from the one of the microservers. Will try to do so when I return to fill bags again.
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.
ossabot: Logged on 2019-10-09 10:42:25 lobbes: http://logs.ericbenevides.com/log/trilema/2019-10-09#1943108 << I see your point. fwiw I'd be willing to give a chicken-finding discount once all is said and done
ossabot: Logged on 2019-10-09 11:49:43 mp_en_viaje: lobbes, i don't need it, nor want it, nor does it help anything.
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: i can get ~horrible~ but working hosting in ~hour if you want .
diana_coman: the dc around here are just about as idiotic as last time I looked, at least via email; ie the only dim possibility might be if I get to visit at some point and somehow find some human in there but I'm not giving it many chances and so I can't spend current limited time on this.
diana_coman: but I won't put my blog there too, just no.
diana_coman: I've recovered and parked younghands still in Chisinau because I can't keep those guys in #o doing nothing, it's worse enough as it is
diana_coman: mp_en_viaje: so far sadly none that I want to try at all; and yes, I've been looking & talking to idiots precisely because I *need my blog* back online already
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
mp_en_viaje: i can see it.
BingoBoingo: <mp_en_viaje> there;s a reason horses are saddled not stitched to rider's groin << This is rather what Pizarro felt like. I have no intention of getting sewn to a working beast of burden again. I can try riding, but I'd rather not get SEWN because "you're already on the ground and we all got bored/spawned/bumbled etc."
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I do not want to end up in the saddle of another ad-hoc'd together Pizarro indefinitely dependent on a single orc or golem being ridden until they exhaust.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i dun think there's any way to avoid riding'em
mp_en_viaje: i imagine plenty of horses were in fact produced through the process of 6yo boy "you have to brush teeth, go to school, practice curves" "hell no i won't go"
asciilifeform: aite. cuz i suspect it's 'moldavia all the way down'.
ossabot: Logged on 2019-10-08 06:28:21 mp_en_viaje: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-10-07#1942040 << to be clear, i'm not against this or anything. it doesn't solve my problem, but that doesn't mean it can't solve anyone else's.
mp_en_viaje: no ? i even said http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-10-08#1942301
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) ?
BingoBoingo: mp_en_viaje: Aite, with all this stuff offline I've been feeling like an amputee too.
mp_en_viaje: BingoBoingo, nono i mean re the shared server
BingoBoingo: mp_en_viaje: I will weight the hole orchestra, but one of the supermicroservers came in at just under 15kg on the scale.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje Aite. I've not yet shredded the pre-GPG'd backups anticipating the possibility of such an ask.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i think he's asking re 'when the fuck can thewhet et al be standing again asap'
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: there is ! i.e. get heathen machine, and unroll the backup to it.
asciilifeform: i'm still not 100% convinced that it was stupid. even if erryone is too weak.
mp_en_viaje: and i had you & all also quit with the fucking queues. because they're stupid.
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: for some reason i thought you had'em write into a queue always
mp_en_viaje: so many excellent solutions delivering in the end nothing but an entrenchment of some kind of the exact thing i was trying to stamp out in the first place.
mp_en_viaje: or what, "hey, instead of sucking my toes & finding whores / palaces to hang out with, i'll pay for hotel rooms so you can sit and nerd out, find new hosts, install mp-wps, all that" ?
mp_en_viaje: or what the fuck exactly. god damn it i'm sick of the permanent precise well-oiled functioning of the idiocy machine.
mp_en_viaje: either way whichever direction i turn, nothing but smooth wall of self-supporting "humans are imbeciles, born imbeciles, will stay imbeciles, fuck you mp". what should i do, ~temporary~ arrangement ? so the imbecile within can be "oh, so much trouble to keep moving this, let's not write" ?
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: i was wundering where newton's royalsociety thing went..
mp_en_viaje: wtf am i gonna do here ;/
mp_en_viaje: considering the beatings it took, them as apparently everyone else, human retardation is fucking insuperable, to start doing this at all, i can't imagine anything more fucking annoying.
mp_en_viaje: meanwhile i have the serious problem that my girls, who didn't feel "the need" to produce any articles for week upon week UPON WEEK of pizarro working fine, now have major backlogs that can't get published
asciilifeform: [insert here oblig thrd where mp: 'you think i actually NEED the net? well, i can just as readily rule via camel couriers!11' ]
asciilifeform: i suspect that mp_en_viaje will yet have occasion to say 'thank you' to asciilifeform for having 'wasted time' discovering how to undetectably and reliably shortwave.
BingoBoingo: Today for two years having passed since the 2017 state of necessity was declared... mp_en_viaje's evalution that for the time passing, the future of the internet seems darker... I can't dispute it.
BingoBoingo: mp_en_viaje: It's a stress, but as I'm sure I mentioned before... a productive stress. Beats the hell out of persistent stagnant dread-stress.
mp_en_viaje: i get it, you enjoy that part. nevertheless, you can't cook me a 2nd breakfast instead of serving me the first because you enjoy cooking more than serving.
BingoBoingo: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-10-09#1943654 << For all the 80's/90's Ruh Ruh USA!!! wank I grew on on... Things seem indistinguishable from a world where the soviets wom.
mp_en_viaje: again -- not because i hate you, but because things are what they are.
mp_en_viaje: what i give a shit about is the things i keep yelling about.
mp_en_viaje: so no, i couldn't give less of a shit as things stand right now if ffa is "properly completed" or not ; nor if "more material" is made available as unqualified scribbles on trb code.
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: ftr i wasn't under the impression that you were.
mp_en_viaje: i'm not making this shit up because i hate you. it's pre-made, and waiting.
ossabot: Logged on 2019-10-09 11:20:21 asciilifeform: http://logs.ericbenevides.com/log/trilema/2019-10-09#1943254 << i dun get it, do you want the item properly completed or not ?
mp_en_viaje: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-10-09#1943330 << my problems right now is that while we diddledaddled at "isp", the world changed. i dunno if you understand this or not, observe if yourself or not, but it doesn't fucking matter.
ossabot: Logged on 2019-10-09 11:19:08 asciilifeform: http://logs.ericbenevides.com/log/trilema/2019-10-09#1943233 << is tbf 'person' ? or also tin soldier, i.e. fights while mp moves it on game board, dies when he knocks it over ?
ericbot: Logged on 2019-10-09 14:33:39 asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i dun expect that you'll listen, but imho you oughta pick a coordinate from mp's globe and take that evacuation, as soon as the reactor's properly quenched.
ericbot: Logged on 2019-10-09 15:17:51 mp_en_viaje: i guess we're gonna have to get a "all v-trees everywhere" program going systematically
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: possibly asciilifeform has simplistic model of BingoBoingo -- i.e. ' BingoBoingo -- parachutist. what's a 2nd, 3rd, ..., jump, to parachutist !'
mp_en_viaje: "fuck you guise, i;m otta here" is for the sort of mobster-looking dude with a 10k usd brick in a steel clip in his pocket and iron packing escort grinning from over his shoulders.
mp_en_viaje: can also be frank with them, "look, i came to uy to get isp going, worked ok for 3 years, dc died from under us, i got a girl and must relocate asap"
mp_en_viaje: in any case, i can appreciate your wanting to stay, but it is possible uruguay not very good spot for you. could alternatively build that list of ixp's, start emailing cvs to all of them asking for employment. if get one, just tell the girl to come, odds are she will.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje has sold me that datacenter tech is probably best career for me as I am today. Next obstacle is does any datacenter have the brains to take mp_en_viaje's recommendation with the necessary gravity.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i strongly suspect that that dc got 'colour revolution'-d but this not directly pertinent to thrd.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: By all appearances Latecho can't pay Uruguayos, and I did make their surviving sales and telecom managers pale this week. Guy seems to have gone oldgendered coverting Latecho to low investment netflix box pension
mp_en_viaje: i believe.
asciilifeform: fwiw i'm satisfied that there's moar buried nazi gold to be found in uy than dc-run-by-guy but if mp_en_viaje not convinced , i haven't a counter
mp_en_viaje: makes little diff, just the personality signature's right. like that douchebag dood or w/e, if trinque ran a dc i'd pack you tonight.
mp_en_viaje: won't make any, i don't expect.
mp_en_viaje: this is pretty much the whole bar. i can think of no other professional line where this particular mix of dedication, greenishness and blindsidedness is equally adequate. and certainly of no better paying one.
BingoBoingo: If you go into detail I will appreciate and read.
mp_en_viaje: i can go into detail if you wish
mp_en_viaje: i think ~for you, personally~, such as you are and irrespective of outside considerations, dc tech may be the best career path.
mp_en_viaje: BingoBoingo, wasn't what i was saying here.
mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform, i suspect you're missing the finer point here.
