asciilifeform: they sell clamp thing that goes around arbitrary stick.
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: ever try using that riding crop as monopod ?
asciilifeform: the '6000' mostly lives in its tripod, in torture room, sadly.
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: you're entirely right : i find myself still using the old soapbox to this day
asciilifeform often looks at mp_en_viaje's fullsize photos, read restaurant menus etc
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: i usually put out 640x480, lolyes. but find it useful to have from what to cut, hence moar pixels aint necessarily imho a waste.
asciilifeform: ( 'a6000' in fact goes in adult pocket if one unscrews the lens, but it's headache . the plus is that can use adult lenses. )
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: i got last yr the (also sony, i like'em) 'a6000', but it aint quite pocket-sized
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i dun see wai they wouldn't let it go if i were to offer moar than the gold extractors pay; but this is presently in back of queue .
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i did not get chance to study the pile in detail, but it was of quite respectable size, easily coupla tonnes.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: 'junk offers' is least on list of prospective headaches.
asciilifeform: 'how coudlja not want to return to holy miamistan!' ?
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: 1 other find : the dc has, apparently , a scrap/graveyard. which consists mostly of... working irons. and apparently they've no ready buyers for it, nor stoop to using by own self. i'ma discuss it at the next meat session.
asciilifeform: 'tell me again about the waters of your home world!'(tm)(r)(f. herbert)
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: american folx get so readily wedged in 'chitchat loop' , it boggles the mind.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: didja at any point try to induct the less-retarded latech folx (who nao gone) ?
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: maybe it is brazen of asciilifeform , who caught 0 edible 'fish', to start w/ giants of the ocean depths, but i really want'em in. even 1.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: re meatspace propagandism -- my 1st 'victim', sales critter, skipped out on 'date'. i'ma retry w/ his younger assistant, he seemed quasi-enlightened
asciilifeform: trinque: this is exactly per wot usermanual, i've no disagreement .
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i ended up using the lift as a lappy table, and instead gurl as extra hands, worked 9000x better than 'alone + lift'
asciilifeform: even w/ that forklift they had, it dun actually make so much diff
asciilifeform: btw likbez note for other rack people -- it is ~very~ difficult to rack anyffin large/hefty w/out 2 pairs of hands.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i'ma publish plans and put to criticism. ( also have buncha photographies in queue for likbez promised to diana_coman , 'how to rack' . )
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: ftr asciilifeform's next agenda item, after cost sheet , is to put the logger back into service. 'ddos magnet', get some genuine picture of what this pipe can stand.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: imho this oughta be done -- but ~after~ the subset of l1 that wants in, is properly serviced and housed; and then i get that Gb/s pipe.
asciilifeform: ( before this slips into the sands -- is pretty interesting... the 2 fellas broke off entirely ? )
asciilifeform: ( are any of asciilifeform's prev. wot inductees still alive ? looking at notes, seems they all flunked. e.g. laddel. )
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: so far asciilifeform is a certified f-grade dunce at 'expand wot', repeatedly sent back to kindergarten. still it gotta be expanded.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: proprietor informed that upgrade of tower is logistically painless, simply will give key to the upper half.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: congrats on getting that rubber stamp btw.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i expect i'll get full tower sooner rather than later, it's still ridic. cheap for what it is. started with half strictly because unsure re who/how many will dare to live there, and asciilifeform needs rack space for self regardless.
asciilifeform ate log. will skip the flamebaits, but answer pressing q's, hands still quite full.
asciilifeform on that note, must genuinely bbl, megatonne of loose ends to tie.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: currently asciilifeform suspects that BingoBoingo's 'mp simulator' is better than asciilifeform's; if it were used moar, we'd have better results. mine still needs work.
asciilifeform: mod6: if you send it in nao, i'ma emplace it on same arrangement as w/ diana_coman . (if want it back later, costs -- postage strictly.)
asciilifeform: mod6: also ok ; and if you want to pause until price sheet posted an' approved by mp_en_viaje , also ok.
asciilifeform: mod6: the prev. agreed-upon solution to 'savages come after BingoBoingo' is evacuation. not 'burn whole piggy'. (if he ends up besieged by pygmies, no amt of piggy will necessarily suffice)
asciilifeform: mod6: the very idea of continuing to sell coin from piz piggy in order ton pay extortion to a scam latech, is batshit beyond contemplation. if BingoBoingo bungles lawsuit and we gotta evacuate him so he aint sold for organs -- then evacuate. but wtf already, nomoar to latech, can this q be settled definitively 1ce and for all time ?
asciilifeform: mod6: formulated like this, the q has no answr. rather, q is , wai is it that it was asciilifeform who had to prod BingoBoingo each time he req'd a prod ? while mod6 logged in maybe 1/wk...
asciilifeform: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-10-19#1946848 << mod6 does seem to have contracted some kinda passivity-inducing brain fungus. asciilifeform hopes that curable, but prognosis for these is generally poor. threatens to hamstring the piz windup, too, sadly.
asciilifeform: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-10-19#1946767 << from asciilifeform's homeplanet, similar parable : j00 abramovich invites friend's family to dinner. next day calls him: 'our silver spoons, they are missing, how couldja!' friend:'dafuq yer talking about' a:'thief! i never want to see your face again'. next day, a calls him : 'we, uhm, found those spoons.' him : 'so, let's have dinner next week?' a: 'no! THE STAIN, IT REMAI
asciilifeform: 'mote in his eye, log in my eye'(tm) or how did it go? 'these lamers can't run a biz' but how about run a blog ?
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: dun let this wait. it'll take, what, coupla hr ? get it going, wtf
asciilifeform: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-10-18#1946583 << 100% of the req'd algos & proofs for same, published on asciilifeform's www. trinque in fact could attempt the item with own hands, if he wishes, w/out asking anyone's permission , if he thinks it can be done w/ his avail. resources.
asciilifeform: dough; and , to make matters worse, req's several sets of (literate) hands .
asciilifeform: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-10-18#1946581 << it's presently impractical, but not for the reason stated here. in e.g. 35nm, ~could~ fit a fast 4096x4096 multer. but ~riotously~ expensive , very high risk (any given production run, even with simulations and 'measure 7777 times, cut 1nce' , can produce a dud) ; wholly unknown prospects for earning back the spent
asciilifeform: ftr asciilifeform was not able to locate this in the logs. where did it happen ?
asciilifeform: re trinque's dialogues -- if trinque wants to unrate folx, it's b/w him and odin, as all ratings. and same re checking out to be an artist etc. was hoping to see e.g. this come outta him before he checks out, rather than leaving wot, deedbot, wallet, to be rewritten hastily, like phf left the logger, but what can do. at least he, unlike phf, gave advanced warning.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: think about this today, i'ma need the answer for the calculation.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: alternatively i'ma supply the machine and roll it into the operating expense, and BingoBoingo does same, for 1/2 of the sharedhosting rev.
asciilifeform: naturally in this variant, BingoBoingo would be responsible for 100% of the programmatics; asciilifeform -- for physical/electrical maintenance.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: you could actually get 100% of the shared hosting revenues -- in exch for colo rate for the req'd machine, if you like. ( asciilifeform still baking the entire thing, as specced by mp_en_viaje , doing a 'measure 7 time, cut 1nce' but no one will be invoiced for anyffin until passes criticism. )
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: i took a naive stab at calculating the 'floor' for this locale. the util co charges presently 7.83 cents per kW/hr. the halftower is supplied with a 1.2kW baseline . 24*30*0.0783*1.2 ~= 70 $ of mains current ; warehouse sq. metrage goes for ~30 / m^2 here, this yields 100; and the remaining unaccounted for portion of price is then 295 , which presumably includes net pipe , upkeep of the grounds (maintenance, cooling, sla
asciilifeform: diana_coman: meanwhile, i've successfully decoded and unpacked your rk backup. it will go into brand-new rk today.
asciilifeform: 'coloco' co. made the (so far , i've nuffin to dispute it with) claim that it's a regional nexus w/ 4 separate fiber hoses in 4 compass directions to 4 peers, 2 power grids, etc.
