mircea_popescu: "HP iLO functions out-of-the-box without additional software installation regardless of
the servers' state of operation giving you complete access
to your server from any location via a web browser or
the iLO Mobile App"
mircea_popescu: jurov "HP iLO -
The preferred IT administrator in every ProLiant server" you fudster you.
TomServo: heh of course.. unfortunately..
these have it.
jurov: if it does not have features like iLO remote pwnkit,
that is considered plus here
TomServo: I'm interested in
the prospect in general..
the hardware availablity just being a perk. I was curious if
there was legitmate interest in
this hardware specifically.
jurov: you consider hosting because you got
the gear offered, no?
TomServo: jurov: what do you mean 'not have
the offer'?
funkenstein_: i have used bitcoincloud.eu with no
trouble yet
trinque: ben_vulpes: "monkey humping a football" << couldn't be a more apt description of
the process I used
to get crossdev working with auto.sh
trinque: I've got it cross-compiling nicely from a gentoo host, currently munching
through boost
trinque: asciilifeform: any opposition
to me adding a parameter for a few predefined architectures in auto.sh?
mircea_popescu: but
they use a shitty signature shceme and wtf, reference bitcoin block hashes already
jurov: or perhaps having both us and eu right from
the start would be best
jurov: and if you did not have
the offer, i can shop around here
jurov: physical hw location does not matter
to me, can be
the best korea or whatever
TomServo: jurov:
Thoughts on
the discussion so far?
trinque: other relevant info worth reading
there
trinque: "the government concedes
that companies who have never received any kind of national-security request from
the government and who are not bound by other nondisclosure provisions vis-à-vis
the government may lawfully publish warrant canaries publicizing
that fact."
jurov: TomServo: I want
to do hosting
too, but wanted a partner
TomServo: This being
the 'warrant canary'?
mircea_popescu: but i guess you could do something like
the
traditional "We have received no unmentionable paperwork from local band of criminals" monthly announcement
TomServo: Right, so doing
this in
the US is simply untenable - no?
mircea_popescu: (either side's claim as
to
the criminality of
the other being unresolvable, since no rule of law, since "secret proceedings")
mircea_popescu: at
that point, you'll be in
the lavamail seat. either you become complicit with
the criminals, or else you'll be prosecuted by
the criminals.
mircea_popescu: the one serious problem for you, or anyone else
trying
to do business in
the us (say, cisco) is
that sooner or later your government will
try and rape you with
those "secret legal proceedings" bs.
TomServo: Well I'll ponder it some more and welcome any further feedback on
the aging infrastructure being proposed and it's utility.
mircea_popescu: i'm just saying,
the need is
there. as long as you clearly advertise what exactly you do and
then stick
to it exactly... it'll have custom.
TomServo: mircea_popescu: It's an option I suppose.. but I was
thinking my hands of
the hardware would be a big piece of what I'm selling.
mircea_popescu: TomServo colocation is a service, ship
them
to fucking malysia if you care.
TomServo: mircea_popescu: heh, I'm for it! I'm honestly
trying consider it here...
though I feel I might need a financial attorney
to sort everything out given my locale.
TomServo: mircea_popescu: I'd imagine being usian based would be a problem,
tho?
mircea_popescu: (literally
that means "unbounded
talent", but in
that context
talent would strictly denote a whore's
talent, and it is only used ironically. so it's an apt caption for a
teenager derping with a faux cock)
nubbins`: algorithm: "oh, here's a dude blowing a big hair-icicle.
this works."
TomServo: And could be inspired
to seek out colo pricing.. would
this be of interest as a starting point?
TomServo: Say a guy had a nearly a racks worth a few generations old HP gear his workplace was going
to get rid of.. and his own private stash of similiar era network gear.
mircea_popescu: TomServo you couldn't have missed it in
the logs ? we want a bitcoin hosting corp.
mircea_popescu: which is very instructive, because it's gypsytalk for "a lot of money". which is
the problem of being a gypsy : very good social, very poor maths, failure
to
thrive in
the world.
mircea_popescu: which
ties in quite hysterically into
the romanian expression "Fara numar"
mircea_popescu: but anyway : usd is currently
trying
to use money without numbers.
mircea_popescu: nubbins` nothing's anything and if you have a business obama made
that business
nubbins` invites hearn
to use money without numbers
mircea_popescu: eh, he has a skeleton of good points, on which he plants
the usual bs.
mircea_popescu: this is why we're here. cause
the superset of your shit is
the way
to clean your shit out of
this world.
mircea_popescu: apparently
the eater-of-worlds interepretation of bitcoin got some pretty high level people involved.
mircea_popescu: lol @hearn : "So: money is not a mathematical construct. It’s a social construct.
The fact
that Bitcoin uses some fairly basic maths
to coordinate social decisions over
the internet doesn’t change
that."
jurov: better comparison would be a car
that can go for years without service break
jurov: yes. and luxury ones,
too
mircea_popescu: the exact way reliability is implemented depends more on
the context neh ?
jurov: i haven't heard about "luxury car" with doubled or
triply-redundant engine and other stuff
mircea_popescu: and, for
that matter,
the very people in
the more "advanced" economies are by now exactly industrial products.
mircea_popescu: industrial products are industrial products. all of
them. without exception. exactly
the same
thing.
mircea_popescu: sort-of like seeing footballers
trying
to reason about medicine.
that's what
this entire "buncha derpy kids + some usg moles debating bitcoin" looks
to me : like a bunch of nfl picks got parachuted in senegal, and are now
trying
to get
themselves cured of
tb
nubbins`: man on
the street using special drawing rights
to purchase a coffee
nubbins`: <+mircea_popescu> lol at
these kids. vandalism, racism, chauvinism et all.
the bad words of a new generation. <<< hurtyfeelism
mircea_popescu: for
the record : a node can do
this currently, if a node feels like doing
this currently. whether we like it or not is immaterial, really. some miners
tried it historically, but it's generally speaking dumb an' so it never caught on.
mircea_popescu: not
that i
think
the replace by fee idea is worth implementing, but
the reasons given are lulzy.
mircea_popescu: "It’s absolutely essential for buying stuff in shops. A currency
that can’t be used
to buy a newspaper on
the street is not going
to be seen as a real currency by
the man on
that street." << again and again with
this nonsense. what
the "man on
the street" sees or doesn't see, accepts or hates, whatever
the fuck is entirely unimportant.
nubbins`: anything
to be gained by enabling mmu support in buildroot? spidey sense says no
mircea_popescu: lol at
these kids. vandalism, racism, chauvinism et all.
the bad words of a new generation.
nubbins`: almost none of
the items give price breaks beyond 100
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform in fairness,
there's 0 price sensitivity from 1
to 10k. pleads against octosite being
too useful.
nubbins`: MFW an avr butterfly costs more
than a SATA pogo
nubbins`: (for
those wondering how $18 can
turn profit for amazon sellers --
the current sellers are likely
the ones who scooped up pallet loads at $7ea in prior years)
nubbins`: i doubt pogo paid less
than $18/unit.
nubbins`: anyway long+short we'll never get a deal like
the pogos until, well,
the next pogo-like
thing comes along
nubbins`: asciilifeform re: octopart: lel,
think we can run
turdel on an Atmel Butterfly? :S
trinque doesn't mind continuing
to hump
the football
trinque: seems mad about
the arch being passed
to
the openssl compile, which could either be me not having
the right environment encantations or who knows
trinque: ben_vulpes: really just waiting for someone
to say "auto.sh doesn't do
that yet" so I am aware of whether I'm wasting
time fixing it :D
