mp_en_viaje: i dunno, your castle, run it as you please.
mp_en_viaje: never thought i'd live to see the day speaking romanian's a bar to anything o.O
maxim_mivo: 2. We don't hire remote workers. Plus every our employee must speak english, russian and romanian. Basicaly every IT man here in Moldova speaks that languages. I assume your doesn't.
maxim_mivo: 1. We can host them. You'll have to send them to our business address (i'll provide it), declare the customs price and pay the taxes for our customs. The colo price includes 100mbps internet with unlimited bandwidth.
mp_en_viaje: it's a hardware rng. i'd link you the specsheet / pics etc but atm its site is down
mp_en_viaje: so let's get to them in order : we have specific boxes configurations, including custom-made hardware such as the fg. i understand you can actually colocate these ?
maxim_mivo: I have 20 more minutes to stay with you here guys.
maxim_mivo: I don't any searches. Just waiting for questions.
mp_en_viaje: maxim_mivo, you're not required to ad-hoc research lol, if you say "no" i'll just give you a summary you can fill out later if/when
mp_en_viaje: maxim_mivo, i mean, you're here. where is "here" ? you're talking to some people. who are they ? that sort of thing.
mp_en_viaje: yes, lots of people read it. and good for you, i also speak romanian. and spanish. and well.. a few langs. testament of an active intelligence.
maxim_mivo: FIY: i speak romanian, but if other people read this, it's ok to continue in english.
diana_coman: maxim_mivo: do they have any separate net pipes? or is it basically the same if I get a server in Iasi or in Chisinau?
diana_coman: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-10-07#1941886 - I'll fire him an email in a bit; thing is I'll be at console some 10 minutes past the austrian-10am
ericbot: I am bot version 597858.
asciilifeform: i still think that e.g. lobbes could escape.
asciilifeform: how the fuck do i even say pauperty in eng
asciilifeform: ( and can't move self. i'm a pauper and my pauperty's here . )
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: cuz i cannot in good conscience try to peddle a chunk of a colo to which some derp has the keys and i'm 10,000km away.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: If you want to do a slow growth thing and try to recoup some Bitcoin, I don't see what is keeping you from finishing your second RK plant and finding it a lower cost basis/better value pipe eurocolo.
lobbes: interesting. I would entertain the idea of buying the rk I am renting (depending on cost of course)
asciilifeform: http://logs.ericbenevides.com/log/trilema/2019-10-08#1942089 << if neither mod6 nor mp ( the other shareholders ) disagree , i'd like all of the piz irons to be sold for modest cost to the current tenants, who can then use .
asciilifeform: fwiw i still have the transportation gear, the sacks, paddings, etc.
BingoBoingo: That I guessed from the logs.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i'ma come if it somehow turns out to be impossible to send the irons as freight, but otherwise must pass.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: If you do make it back to the Oriental Republic, however... I am willing to drop everything to make a potroast.
asciilifeform: ( what to do there, is separate q, if i knew i'd buy for self also ! )
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i will buy personally for you a ticket to anywhere on planet3.
BingoBoingo: I am inclined to make somewhere in Latin America, even if not Uruguay work. Bingoboingo the journalist loves this country. Bingoboingo the retarded datacenter tech/mongoloid startup manager hates this country.
lobbes: but I'm no growth expert!
BingoBoingo: I don't in this moment feel as portable as I did in 2017 because now there's the Peruana. I'm rather fond of her, but she loves me.
BingoBoingo: To put together another Pizarro from nothing, Even with the past two years there are other hard edges I have not mastered that I know would be necessary, and the tissue paper pipe problem can happen again.
BingoBoingo: To put together a Qntra I might read five to ten takes from raw sources before I can collapse the story into condensed, journalistic text.
lobbes: this is true about the accretions of failure. A lesson for all of us, I reckon. Makes me take a hard look at my own failures I may be missing
lobbes: Not sure what I'm trying to say exactly, other than perhaps "there's many ways to make a mark in history". Idk, I'ma shut up as my inspirational speeches seem to have a history of turning people off rather than inspiring
lobbes: it is easy to look at, say MP, and go "well I'll never even be close to doing the things he does", but to me BingoBoingo's story is uniquely inspirational in that folx like myself can go "well, he made the jump into uncharted waters. He built *something* even if the resistance of the medium won in the end. Why couldn't I also build something?"
lobbes: tmsr is all about embracing one's failure and learning from it, if I've learned anything from being here
lobbes: BingoBoingo: fwiw, I think you did better at this venture than I imagine I ever would have. It took balls to take that initial leap over the wire and bootstrap the thing.
BingoBoingo: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-10-07#1941999 << I feel this sting.
BingoBoingo: mod6: To take any backups of your machine, I will need some sort of credentials to log in.
a111: Logged on 2019-10-07 23:05 asciilifeform: BB will correct me if i'm wrong on this pt.
asciilifeform: lobbes: if you colo boxen, i rec to take a weekend to learn to use a spot welder
asciilifeform: that being said, i dun exactly have a list of 9000 cages that known to work.
asciilifeform: i suspect is is a fundamentally bad idea .
asciilifeform: lobbes: i expect if we all park in same cage , will end in same tears .
lobbes: and neato re: patch. I still need to apply the detect_disconnect patch as well. Will do that tonight before bed
lobbes: asciilifeform: ack re: sigs. I'll let you know once I have new blog home. Going to order a leased stock box from that moldavian hoster nao methinks
asciilifeform: lobbes: i was sadly unable to mirror your patches, as they lived in piz. when you find new home for your www, i will mirror. (otherwise feel free to paste as comments, and i'ma try and parse'em out)
asciilifeform: so normally i see it as 'non-renewable resource', like to sell organs.
asciilifeform: lobbes: i mined (yes) 1st, on the pile of junkyard fpga i happened to have surrounded self with at the time .
lobbes: I bought my first coin for ~$20 back in 2013 or abouts, then hung onto it for dear life. Almost lost it in a tardstalk scam, but luckily read hanbot's ancient writings; found this place in time
lobbes: same, I'm glad I bought little bits when it was alive at least. I'll miss those auctions
asciilifeform: lobbes: i had enuff for maybe 1 moar refuel of piz and then fat zero.
lobbes: even worse, I dun even have a working trb node
lobbes: that was why I went with orc scrip with my current hoster. I also have small pile
asciilifeform: not 1 of the fucktards i abortively talked to in '17 was willing to eat btc.
lobbes: I may look into getting another box from them myself; gonna need another home for blog / auctionbot and would rather not hang everything on my usg hoster
asciilifeform: lobbes: i expect there'll be a where-to-park then.
ericbot: Logged on 2019-10-07 21:34:35 mp_en_viaje: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-10-07#1941357 << i meant the whole thing, when you're ready to make delivery and i hafta have a server ready for you to do this on.
lobbes: http://logs.ericbenevides.com/log/trilema/2019-10-07#1941645 << at my current rate of developing the thing, I will give a tentative estimate of Jan 1st 2020 as delivery date of whole enchilada. I will update this deadline quickly if I see it threatening to be pushed
ossabot: Mocky last seen in #trilema on 2019-09-04 22:48:05: I fell down a rabbit hole
ossabot: Mocky last seen here on 2019-09-04 22:48:05: I fell down a rabbit hole
asciilifeform: http://logs.ericbenevides.com/log/trilema/2019-10-08#1941985 << fwiw i've never worked anywhere that didn't eventually die. even that usg army lab -- closes.
mp_en_viaje: i daresay most of the benefit of pizarro was in training you inept tards to some (probably minuscule) degree.
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: i can't say i've much to claim as 'merits' in recent time.
asciilifeform: i dun expect it will make riches tho.
asciilifeform: i'ma carry on w/ peh (needs keccak) , perhaps mp_en_viaje & co will still find use for it .
asciilifeform: nao i haven't even a logger .
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: i specifically did not want it in piz, cuz already had dark thought re target-rich envir.
asciilifeform: i'm ok that it goes to random mp_en_viaje page . ( can't point at own www yet, it's still on that heathen random-ip-of-the-week thing )
mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform, i don't object, but does it do anything/need me to do anything /
mp_en_viaje: well i mean, it was lulzy on friday. by the time sunday rolled into monday which is now solidly tuesday as i write this... hypocalcemic syncope is one thing, but if she's not back on her feet by next week...
asciilifeform: so happens that i renewed it last wk for next 9 years.
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: i'ma point 'nosuchlabs.com' at yer www again, like during last exile in the desert, if you dun object. (plox to say if ok w/ this and then which ip prefer)
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: if pipe is in fact restored, will make easier for folx to backup. but other than that i think is curtain call.
asciilifeform: generally i dun invoice until box is assembled, tested, and flown.
mp_en_viaje: i guess ima put a node on the new trilemabot machine too, why not.
asciilifeform: i do not know what mod6 had tho, it was his own iron.
mod6: mp_en_viaje: Fair enough, I seem to remember this as a problem with striping.. like a RAID 5.
asciilifeform: i expect BingoBoingo will help.
mod6: I'd like to see the whole box backed up, but really, (iirc) the /var partition holds the website data. The node chain is less important.
mp_en_viaje: (admittedly because back when people did, i didn't need nor could afford such things)
mp_en_viaje: mod6, i never ran into this order problem in a raid before ?
mod6: Ah, ok. I can't be certain it is a 3ware. Maybe BB can check inside the box.
asciilifeform: mod6: i didn't build your box, but if it's a '3ware', order dun matter
mod6: asciilifeform: The tbf box in the rack would be nice to be backed up -- I believe, from memory, this is a raid configuration in there. If the drives are pulled and not numbered correctly, probably can't re-create.
mp_en_viaje: i believe it is unwise to build floors atop chairs. usually chairs atop floors.
mp_en_viaje: i thought he was over at dc
mp_en_viaje: i thought you owed ~now.
asciilifeform: ( secondarily, the remnant of the acct balance at latech, but i honestly dun expect to see it again 'like own ears w/out mirror'(tm) )
mp_en_viaje: i have not what to argue with this ; nor any reaso nto argue. seems to me the one remaining thing to protect is the physical machines.
ossabot: Logged on 2019-10-07 15:31:05 BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: At this point, based on the previous conversation, there seems to be in no person at Latecho or Dedicado who can get us pipe. I am inclined to begin auditioning commercial litigation folk this afternoon.
mp_en_viaje: i thought consensus among you two was that pipe's not coming back on. he said "nobody there can turn it back on" and you said "even if they did, i wouldn't trust it"
mp_en_viaje: when i landed in chisinev, mid 90s, it had just came out as law or somesuch apparently that all cunts must wear miniskirts with pantyhose. dedicated sellers of pantyhose on all street corners and not a single warm blooded xx humanoid in any other garb.
asciilifeform does not know if that pencil balanced on its point is any kind stable state. but last i knew, was such.
mp_en_viaje: that's what i was asking about, rehomed where
asciilifeform: i built it out of waht i built it, for a reason, and if disappeared would build again outta same. so yes would like it back.
mp_en_viaje: well, why not, can send the smg there then i guess.
mp_en_viaje: a right. i recall now.
asciilifeform: fella even offered serial port via temp box, given that i refuse to ipmi
