asciilifeform: ( phuctor II had 16 )

asciilifeform: and ftr 32 cpu is a mighty spiffy thing.

asciilifeform: dulap-III humming along very happily.

asciilifeform meanwhile preparing return of... phuctor!

asciilifeform: ckang: i dun particularly need it for anyffin

asciilifeform: ckang: such proofy proof

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: synthetic opium, popular in modern northameristan; lethal dose is iirc within 10% of ordinary dose

asciilifeform: (germany did not know fentanyl)

asciilifeform: naa that'd be american, not dark-teutonic(tm)(r)

asciilifeform: pervitin.

asciilifeform: such fuhrerbunker

asciilifeform: i was about to say!

asciilifeform: what's a captagon

asciilifeform: lol!

asciilifeform: ckang: as in he pays d00dz to come and fuck his wife while he watches ? or wat

asciilifeform: just take care to burn them archives, lol

asciilifeform: eh, descent, whothefuck cares, it didn't hard herr schicklegruber's work

asciilifeform: trinque: and getting booted from heathen.dns, lol

asciilifeform: or his gurl, for that mattery

asciilifeform: weev

asciilifeform: lol

asciilifeform: ( tho i betcha his whole www could run quite happily off 1 'rockchip' )

asciilifeform: the 'nazi' d00d is also nowhere to be found; ditto

asciilifeform: and i actually suspect that he was eaten some time ago.

asciilifeform: d00d's an unrepentant heathen iirc.

asciilifeform: and , meanwhile, speaking of heathens reaping the fruits of heathen isps, cryptome loox finally dead.

asciilifeform really gotta do sumnthing about this mispheature

asciilifeform: grrr

asciilifeform: phf,

asciilifeform: oh this is pretty neat pheeby

asciilifeform: aaa errybody got some of those yea

asciilifeform: ckang: where do you rack'em ?

asciilifeform: ckang: yours ?

asciilifeform: the subj of photo is the rockchip holder tho.

asciilifeform: ckang: the box types were discussed to death in #pizarro, they are not seekrit

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: there's like 500 pics, these are the ones people iirc specifically asked for

asciilifeform: for impatient people : http://loper-os.org/pub/dc_cat.jpg , http://www.loper-os.org/pub/bb_v.jpg , http://www.loper-os.org/pub/rockchip1.jpg , http://www.loper-os.org/pub/rockchip2.jpg << highlights

asciilifeform: note that rockchip boxen cannot use the kvm, they have no kbd or display

asciilifeform: if anyone needs the kvm, plz page BingoBoingo to plug it in, and asciilifeform to show how to connect to it

asciilifeform: also obtained and set up a 2nd GB switch in rack; and a 220v mains distributor; and a ip kvm ( which annoyingly requires... java on the remote control end, but 'with torch in daylight' to this very day i cannot find ANY ipkvm that does not commit this type of warcrime )

asciilifeform: delivered, moorings hammered back into shape , enracked, (where applicable) en-disked, en-os'd, powered, sshkeyed, tested.

asciilifeform: at a total cost of ~2k ( i'ma do a proper rundown tomorrow ) usd.

asciilifeform: ( all ~100kg of it )

asciilifeform: i'ma do a proper photoreportage re the expedition , but summary is : 100% of iron delivered in working order

asciilifeform: ACHTUNG panzers! 4 rockboxen left!11

asciilifeform: i dun recall who else wanted; several folx iirc threatened to buy

asciilifeform: he did say, several times. ping him when he wakes up.

asciilifeform: ok good

asciilifeform: i delegated the handing-out of box keys to ben_vulpes , he wanted to keep track of ips/people

asciilifeform: speaking of which, douchebag , mod6 , ( others ? ) did ben_vulpes give you working keys yet ?

asciilifeform: ckang: waiwat

asciilifeform: in monkeystan, can't even be had for money, i expect. not without commissioning d00ds with suitcases

asciilifeform: aha

asciilifeform: and turns out not simply pretentious rubbish, they have useful knobs ( to gauge decay , overvoltage, line noise, etc )

asciilifeform: after yrs of grunting with handmade ups, i found the magic pill -- surplus industrial ones

asciilifeform: lol

asciilifeform: ( you're prolly thinking of the seebek generator with kerosene wick from 1950s )

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it wasn't 'some contacts', seebek-style bimetallic generator is terrible ; typically they had peltier pile

asciilifeform: i expect corrosion is a bitch in mircea_popescustan tho

asciilifeform: in mircea_popescustan -- ~free, put'em in a shed, aha

asciilifeform: storage for 500 old batteries ( esp of the normal truck type, that vents H2 ) ain't free

asciilifeform does not currently have diesel, but also ~never gets outage of moar than 1hr or so; hence has large pile of cells

asciilifeform: and expectation is that diesel takes over in 3-5min , however long it takes to crank

asciilifeform: typically 'large pile' is for moar wattage

asciilifeform: unless ( like e.g. castle mircea_popescustein ) you have diesel backup

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: sit long enuff without mains current, and you get deepcycle

asciilifeform: lol BingoBoingo , world's most expensive power source

asciilifeform had just such a contraption for some years

asciilifeform: bah truck battery hates deepcycle

asciilifeform: and yes it's an industrial ups, 'liebert'

asciilifeform: ckang: nominally 48

asciilifeform: apparently these things dun rot on the shelf as fast as i thought

asciilifeform: 55.6V << notbad

asciilifeform: !!v FB25F7DF71FB3EDCF96836C31C0DBDB9E14A6F3DAC4A46434ACC83C766BA0936

asciilifeform: !!unrate ascii_lander

asciilifeform: attn folx : node zoolag is back in service

asciilifeform finally swapped the ups batteries

asciilifeform slowly eats log..

asciilifeform waves

asciilifeform: !!v 182DA324B828FAFD816A51AA834435D93C12B0D9F974B7346F8B84D8992497B4

asciilifeform: !!rate ascii_lander 1 asciilifeform's lander module, 4.14 -- 4.19

asciilifeform: !!up ascii_lander

asciilifeform: saturn_: iirc he processes withdrawals nightly

asciilifeform: ^ trinque ?

asciilifeform: !!up saturn_

asciilifeform: spyked: it'll happen. tho i am aiming for folx to end up answering 'this did not need sparkism, it is evidently correct to naked eyes'

asciilifeform: spyked: i dun have anything against mechanical proof per se; but it is NOT a substitute for fits-in-head, because there is nor cannot be any such substitute. and the mass of the theorem-verifier is to be included with the mass of the program, for the purpose of 'is this head-fittable'. but possibly i repeat old thread.

asciilifeform: spyked: sorta how it is ~impossible to write a prolog proggy without several times ending up asking machine np-hard question.

asciilifeform: but aite.

asciilifeform: that's mixed in nozzle.

asciilifeform: neh that's not 'premixed in the tank' lol

asciilifeform: 'bang gas' or what's it in engl.

asciilifeform: and nope, not premix, lol

asciilifeform: but he aint here.

asciilifeform: probably a simple calculation would tell us 'nope'. and if al schwartz were here, he might deign to post it

asciilifeform: whether it is possible to create this condition mechanically, purely from result of vehicle's motion -- i do not know ☟︎

asciilifeform: above certain temp, water cannot exist, only h2, o2

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: there is of course another way to get dry air

asciilifeform: jurov: naturally not 'by temperature' purely, or you would have 'maxwell's daemon' lol

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: roughly
