asciilifeform: i was actually preparing a modest box to go there
mp_en_viaje: i'd say "call him over here", but the problem is i'm traveling, can't keep this always on and watched.
mp_en_viaje: but i suppose this is not entirely without merit -- diana_coman see next you talk to that guy whether he also colos boxes ?
mp_en_viaje: well muh dear space-admiral & mars mission commandant... it dun seem to be so much a question of what i'd rather. does it.
asciilifeform: i expect fedex will get'em out to wherever for 1-2 hundy.
asciilifeform: and to smg i'd also recommend to use the same, but is decision not for me but for mp_en_viaje & co, if they'd rather host on intel w/ ipmi and intel rng, is not my biz
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: i can't speak for others, but anyffing i touch will be hosted on this same type of opteron, and with same raid, and w/ same FG .
mp_en_viaje: anyway, i imagine most iron is headed for the local reseller, used hw prolly not worth shipping OUT of orcistan
asciilifeform: hm i thought 'suing orcs dunwork'
asciilifeform: BB will correct me if i'm wrong on this pt. ☟︎
ossabot: Logged on 2019-10-07 15:44:10 asciilifeform: same i believe goes for smg.
mp_en_viaje: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-10-07#1941464 << was it snsa owned a machine and smg another one, and renting a 3rd ? i thought we had mostly sold all iron to piz, will have to look through all these.
asciilifeform: at any rate, for our purposes afaik dun matter what kinda botnet. nor have i a connection to draw from that point to what we've got. so will leave subj alone for nao.
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: i also had trouble believing, before working as pro exterminator for these in '12-15. (possible that sumthing has changed since, but from what i presently know -- has not.)
mp_en_viaje: i have trouble believing/.
asciilifeform: and i won't dismiss out of hand, people continue (why? dunno) to make pyramidally-shaped botnets.
mp_en_viaje: sadly... i can't read it.
mp_en_viaje: i recall at least one instance where trilema was down and my defense of not giving a shit for a week or so came remarkably cheap to me.
mp_en_viaje: i don't understand what you;re saying.
mp_en_viaje: "i went to herpetologist for my snake and my cousin went to hematologist for her blood, and my snake's tooth count came way smaller than her platelets. wtf medicine is a scam"
asciilifeform: http://logs.ericbenevides.com/log/trilema/2019-10-07#1941653 << funnily , 1 of the places asciilifeform wanted to try parking dulap in '17 , was a (largely empty) telco exchange 2km from house. reputedly, gives a locking rebar cage for <1.5k/m . and in the heart of the beast. the thing, i suspect if had done this, it'd still be there, working..
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> i dun recall seeing arrowslits reserved for konsoomer window ac in there << Consumer standup portable A/C
ossabot: Logged on 2019-10-07 15:39:30 asciilifeform: ( after he's done w/ the current session of 'both of you have arse for a head and i oughta have thrown you into sea like two-headed kittens long ago' but expect will have what to add )
mp_en_viaje: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-10-07#1941455 << i dunno why this is so dramatique all the time. not like we didn't know you two have no fucking clue what you're doing going in.
asciilifeform: i dun recall seeing arrowslits reserved for konsoomer window ac in there
BingoBoingo: mp_en_viaje: At this point I don't see why not.
asciilifeform: http://logs.ericbenevides.com/log/trilema/2019-10-07#1941658 << i was aboutta ask !! holyshit, where did they put the hot exhaust ?
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I would like to wait for customer instructions on how they would like their drives handled before pulling everything.
BingoBoingo: Will label everything I take out.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I know. Once things are collected I will need a working ftp server somewhere to park customer data GPG tarballs.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: lemme know if you need helping hand (tho will be limited in what i can do w/out a working pipe straight to machines.)
BingoBoingo: mp_en_viaje: At this hour no one. I will go and grab backups.
BingoBoingo: mp_en_viaje: Aite, tonight I will grab user data and databases off of the shared server.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo anything i'm missing on this score ?
mp_en_viaje: as thing stand i can't think of one.
mp_en_viaje: but in principle this is not actionable, in any practical case not very far, where "i bought milk each day from milk shop" "And ?" "now it wants to sell out, become dildo shop" "so ?" "so wherre do i get my milk ?".
mp_en_viaje: anyway, the reason i mentioned that yest was as a pressure tactic, not as a revenue generator.
BingoBoingo: mp_en_viaje: I am familiar with that as well.
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: to picture for a moment that the action were in 'civilized' rather than orcistani court -- if warehouse springs leak, and rain pours through it for week, and five customer's worth of wheat dissolves, i expect > 'month' would be owed.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: If I planned to drink to death, I wouldn't have done a moral inventory last night.
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: it isn't that asciilifeform is convinced 'oh we'll win a suit and roll in dough' but that i haven't other constructive idea. ( to tell BingoBoingo 'hey get 2wks head start on rabbits and drinking to death' imho not constructive. )
mp_en_viaje: i entirely see no problem with you continuiong on this course, as a training exercise, for you. i do not have the expectation it will make money, your case is not actually that strong.
BingoBoingo: Based on the new enclosed aisle, I suspect there is the possibility there aren't entirely bankrupt. They may be ineptly pivoting to dumb provision of space for local heathen caches.
mp_en_viaje: i expect the roadmap asciilifeform paints (sue in uy, win, actually get paid, use proceeds to produce euro isp) is unlikely, if nothing else then because dockets routinely run multi-month in civil court, appeals are common, expense while not maxint also not trivial, and failure to pay civil judgements in corporate world a regular occurence.
BingoBoingo: The courts here do handle evictions far more quickly than across the river. Other than the former tax shelter reasons Argentines prefer property ownership in Uruguay because the courts do move (speed may vary when a Soviet monopoly is involved). Following some sit downs I hope to have a better picture on the chance to recover something, but I do want redundancy here. I've learned at least that much.
mp_en_viaje: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-10-07#1941439 << i... i jsut can't even. this thing became painful to read.
mp_en_viaje: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-10-07#1941430 << i think your ideas as to how "roman law" systems work in ex spanish colonies are ... a little off kilter.
mp_en_viaje: from what i've been reading
BingoBoingo: ISPddOs aside, Latecho does not appear to be anywhere near as healthy as they were when I arrived. The sales manager was on airconditioner duty. I strongly suspect the Freezone conversation happened through the intercom because they didn't want to reveal their falta de recursos humanos.
BingoBoingo: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-10-07#1941608 << I am convinced burning it down will do nothing other than incur more costs.
ossabot: Logged on 2019-10-07 17:21:01 asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: Bingo for his part seems to be headed to lifetime of penitence in monastery or the like (tho i'd rather he grew skin like rhinoceros and fought an' won, perhaps still will)
BingoBoingo: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-10-07#1941537 << I don't know about lifetime, but some sort of produtive, structured penance is in order. I do feel much less despondent after making two adult age males go pale.
BingoBoingo: This datacenter mission I did get a chance to talk to Oscar alone. He was more informative without Maxi present. Pressed on whether Joaquim and other named folks I was acustomed to dealing with were still employed by Latecho he responded in the negative. Oscar also showed me his whatsapp conversations where he was begging with upstream folks. This supports the morning's hypothesis Latecho recently decerebrated while installing a bunch
BingoBoingo: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-10-07#1941621 << I will be sitting down with them tomorrow. I've been knocking doors to see if there's a hungrier, more aggressive model.
BingoBoingo: I am back. Nothing lit on fire. Now for mission report.
mp_en_viaje: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-10-07#1941360 << i ain't got the resoruces to multi-derp this. one shot, pass or fail, and ideally pass.
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.
asciilifeform: aite, i'ma get some air, brb
mp_en_viaje: you told him to do three things (incomprehensible, i thought he was the manager) none of which he can safely do or are liable to help anything if done.
mp_en_viaje: i was discussing your output, not that.
mp_en_viaje: the former, i read something about maxint, something about flamethrower, then something about ~stalking some randos that don't even know you...
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: was the point strictly that asciilifeform's output to BB, low snr , and needlessly stresses crew ? or that he oughta be doing something else than where i sent him ? or both ? neither ?
mp_en_viaje: i dunno if i'm getting my point across here.
asciilifeform: woah, mp_en_viaje concerned with stress of crew ?!!! ~nao~ i must ask, mp_en_viaje are you mp_en_viaje right nao or is hanbot filling in at console ( check out, also forgot that phuctor lived in dulap ? ) plox to fess up!111
asciilifeform: but i'ma let him answer when comes back.
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: i dun have high expectations.
asciilifeform: latech wrecked piz. (i find it difficult to picture that will be 'un-wrecked') . what would mp_en_viaje do in such case ? there's a clearly identifiable party in breach of (even orcish) contract .
mp_en_viaje: i'm not against his trying, but i am encouraging you to moderate your expectations. if he couldn't find legal support when he didn't need it, how likely is it he'll find it now ?
mp_en_viaje: i seem to remember lawyer was on the original list of requisites he didn't get, back in the day. understand how this works : either you have ~from before~, or you... well, do not use.
mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform, i am at no juncture proposing that you shouldn't get what you paid for. i am however disputing the somewhat ill considered view whereby the reasonable escalation for your sandwich coming out wrong is calling the cops.
asciilifeform: i haven't tried the germanies and etc. but know the prices here.
mp_en_viaje: not that it should be or anything. but hysteria self-lathering also doesn't help anything, how shall i put this, tryna walk the line here.
asciilifeform: but i have nfi and will believe .
mp_en_viaje: well, i don't sleep with the womenz, for one thing.
asciilifeform: but i entirely believe that it is possible
asciilifeform: i've never been in a 2100/night hotel. must be quite sumthing.
mp_en_viaje: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-10-07#1941343 << not to bring a crass hickup to the choir here, but iirc you were paying a month about what my hotel costs / night ? it's not precisely maxint, not that i'm proposing anyone merits no value for money or anything like that.
mp_en_viaje: i had just loaded a webpage and got excited.
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: i've been tryin' to get mine in that ddos hopper since fri
ossabot: Logged on 2019-10-07 11:59:57 diana_coman: asciilifeform: re data in any case, it's the initial incident, I didn't specifically ask them for *all requests to my server*; I asked them exactly for "attack", apparently some 8 minutes on Friday before they updated their rules and got rid of it pretty much.
mp_en_viaje: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-10-07#1941312 << regularly these aren't even attacks, just monumentally ill set up spamatrons and the like. i linked examples, dude buys "out of the box" "solution", installs on "beefiest server available", has nfi what he's doing.
mp_en_viaje: d^Hispdos i mean
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: Bingo for his part seems to be headed to lifetime of penitence in monastery or the like (tho i'd rather he grew skin like rhinoceros and fought an' won, perhaps still will)
asciilifeform: if i wanted 'feel better', i know where the dope dealers live.
asciilifeform: i aint in the biz to 'feel better', ftr.
mp_en_viaje: aite, well. evidently i wasn't watching all that closely. good there's a record.
mp_en_viaje: nfi why i ended up with the idea he worked for you.
mp_en_viaje: i guess i've not been paying close enough attention to this then.
ericbot: Logged on 2019-10-07 08:09:06 mp_en_viaje: nor is this disease of passivity yours alone. asciilifeform is in the ~same position, at some point he became the manager of a venture ? whatevs. how and what did this alter in his life ? ~same as for the "surprised by wealth" tard, he was surprised by management, it became ~an attribute~, like alopecia, or a skin tumour. he worries about it, sometimes, especially when i say m
mp_en_viaje: "o, look, i got '''ddos''' graphs also".
mp_en_viaje: i did ~same, discussed as such, last night.
mp_en_viaje: i dunno such detection happened, dude was asked weird q, sent over a capture, "closest item to what you ask for". at least was my read.
ericbot: Logged on 2019-10-07 06:32:48 diana_coman: upon asking my moldavian ISP for the data re attack on my server, they sent over a .pcap file + a .pdf file with an analysis; it says max 1.5Gbits/s on Oct 4th; the whole thing seems to be coming in from 8 IPs; I still have to look at the .pdap in detail
ossabot: Logged on 2019-10-07 11:40:34 asciilifeform: http://logs.ericbenevides.com/log/trilema/2019-10-07#1941224 << can i persuade diana_coman to share that pcap ? dulap ended up unplugged just before i could set up tcpdump on it .
mp_en_viaje: meanwhile apropos of nothing, https://i.pinimg.com/736x/72/11/52/7211525863efabfe9f1b7bb3c2b91842--human-cow-cow-girl.jpg
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: i rec to eat log ( via diana_coman or lobbes ) in 1stpass
BingoBoingo: I want blood. You want blood. It's time to find some vampires to expedite the harvest. Morcilla is on the menu.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I am going to be headed in the datacenter direction. Will make sure nothing's on fire and rescue those irreplaceables.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Aite. I'm going to give my mind digest and re-read time and then head out to knock on a couple doors to see who is hungry.
asciilifeform: trinque, mod6 , i think are the remaining. ^
