asciilifeform: ok, let's rephrase, there's no detectable fw on rk.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: there's no 'fw' on rk.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the idle rk that was to house lobbes et al, has turned up dead.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i strongly suspect that yer right, and the monkeys went 'eh, orcs, what's 1, what's another'
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform what was the rk problem anyways ?
mircea_popescu: am i oversensitive or are the dorks actually trying to pass the guy for guler, on the grounds that "what do ustards know" ?
mircea_popescu: hmmm... i thought i mentioned the fellow.
mod6: Just some food for thought over the next, say, 72 hours.
mircea_popescu: http://archive.is/3cRY7#selection-1855.167-1855.241 << in other lulz, notwithstanding the text, there depicted is ~romanian~ (if the soviet-style ro army uniforms didn't make it plain enough) nicolae ciuca.
asciilifeform: is the reason why asciilifeform went with 'pack as much into ea. 1u x86 as physically possible' when init buildout.
asciilifeform: and these have monumental cost of transport, as already established.
mod6: I guess I should say, that I'm not sure exactly. But we should do a bunch of anaysis to see what would be the best play for capital allocation.
asciilifeform: mod6: afaik that means 1u x86, given current state of art.
mod6: Envs that have at least 4 logical cores, 8 Gb RAM, and minimum 1Tb ssd.
mod6: We aught to look at costs of full size env's that would fit the bill for TMSR~ tooling. Then establish how many we would need & charge for to get out of the red.
asciilifeform looked at erry available rk board on market in last coupla hrs, they are all either of substantially inferior spec, or cost no less than 3x moar per
asciilifeform: this complicates the design of same.
asciilifeform: it appears that we'll still have to construct a larger rk plant, but they will have to be physically racked in such a way as to be replaceable without taking down whole plant
asciilifeform: mod6: note that there is still not afaik anything like a candidate for 'rk, but better'
mod6: I agree about the re-thinking of the 32 new boards.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo agreed to house lobbes et al on his personal rk, until the swap is made, he will fill in the details when he gets back to his console
asciilifeform: mod6: i'ma ship new rk + a few spares to BingoBoingo ( who appears to have solved his orc customs problems ) , but the find is concerning in re the wisdom of installing 9000 of'em
asciilifeform: mod6: debug log is there
mod6: If that chinese iron could get the job done for a reasonable rate.. could be pretty good offering.
mod6: Would be awesome if Pizzaro could sell iron that can run cuntoo + ffa + fg + trb out of the gate [ + others too, i.e. eulora, etc ]
asciilifeform: if it was somehow diff from ordinary pediwik, this cannot be determined from the cache
asciilifeform: https://archive.is/9NDzd << cached. still can't make heads or tails of it tho.
mircea_popescu: https://metapedia.org/ << in other lulz, i had nfi item even existed. anyone know what "traditional enemies" even means there ?!

mircea_popescu: https://www.playboy.com/read/don-t-fall-for-the-gop-s-scapegoating-of-steve-king-1 << domain squatted by Really Angry Pantsuit (tm), amusingly enough. because totally, that's exactly how this game works, http://btcbase.org/log/2015-08-21#1247708 etcetera. ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2018-09-23 21:16 mircea_popescu: which is eerily similar to what these shits ever sell on an open market, be it myspace, slashdot, or whatever else.
mircea_popescu: all these "valuable properties" of the http://btcbase.org/log/2018-09-23#1853182 ilk, "online real estate" etc. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=+%22mircea+popescu%22&t=ffsb&iax=images&ia=images << in other lulz, i fucking love the results. a buncha dorks and a buncha sluts, what more can you ask for.
asciilifeform: would like to , 1st, give the znc people a chance to sit down on rk, if they can be aroused to.
asciilifeform: i'ma 'drive' it till it 'makes sound'.
mod6: kinda typical actually. car makes bad sound while driving it for weeks, when you bring it to the mechanic and explain the sound, he drives it, no sound.
asciilifeform: mod6: my current hypothesis is that it'll fall down again when raid walk.
mod6: no, i mean, what's super weird is that it hasn't crashed since we started really looking into it.
asciilifeform: i can't picture why, even, unless these people baked it from ecl or sumthing
asciilifeform: ( no eggogs tho, from it... )
asciilifeform: i have one that avgs 80C here
asciilifeform: mod6: sadly not weird, these run ridiculously hot
mod6: Thanks for the update asciilifeform
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: ty for the temp update
asciilifeform: still waitin' to hear from the znc-on-uy1 people, whether any want a rk acct.
asciilifeform: meanwhile uy1 cpu at 52C, raid card at 63 (for the latter, 'critical' mark is 70)
hanbot: * shinohai has quit (Quit: No, I do not belong to The Most Delusional Republic) << the amusing part being that it'd seem that's the only republic you -do- belong to.
mod6: Another loooong day today.
feedbot: http://thewhet.net/2019/01/perambulating-mp-pretense-vs-pretense/ << The Whet -- Perambulating MP: Pretense vs. Pretense
shinohai: lmao forgot I had put that there when kakobrekla kept asking why I wasn't over in tmdr xD
mircea_popescu: * shinohai has quit (Quit: No, I do not belong to The Most Delusional Republic)
mircea_popescu: shinohai you don't belong to what now ?
mircea_popescu: as opposed to my buying cookies to give girly so she takes her clothes off.
mircea_popescu: vapor pressure, rite. if you hang for piracy as well as highway robbery (1/100 the capital goods costs) competent females will be found in piracy not in highway robbery, because female vapor pressure ~0.
asciilifeform: iirc there may have been sea pirate female, but dunno how credible the reports.
mircea_popescu: sure. what, the point was to ensure "no highwaymen" ? the point was to ensure ~no highwaywomen~. and that -- fucking ensured, no taming-of-the-shrew era shrew, howsoever "empowered" etcetera, dared highway.
asciilifeform: ( and funnily enuff, uptick in petty criminality during imperial collapse appears even in apuleius's thing )
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it aint as if there were no highwaymen back when marchlord
BingoBoingo: Hey, the amount of old woman wailing over their pobre angelitos dying is increasing as the angelitos in question get shot breaking into a man's residence/place of business
BingoBoingo: They preferred 2009's homeostasis to 2019's but...
BingoBoingo: Pretty much. They just don't care.
mircea_popescu: "This last paranthesis also explains why crime fightin' is never a "the people" affair, in case you're curious. It's not some sort of evil conspiracy to keep "the citizens" ("the people" call themselves that when unsure of their footing) from exercising "justice". It's just that practically, left to their own devices, "the people" couldn't care less." or how did that go.
BingoBoingo: Meanwhile in local news: Free Bicycles available on the Rambla as a matter of Penal Policy http://archive.is/o6y2V
asciilifeform: d00d's a defrocked academic, iirc toils in 'hedge funds' etc
BingoBoingo: If he's pale enough the Saudis or Qataris might take him
mircea_popescu: yeah, there's such demand for middle aged males on that market.
mircea_popescu: seems rather the work of coincidence.
mircea_popescu: where he'd be doing exactly the same, plus/minus one red stapler ?
BingoBoingo: Surrender his determination to imbicil and join a slave galley
mircea_popescu: you understand this, yes, there's gotta be something there to surrender, you can't surrender bare swamp.
BingoBoingo: Well, Locklin's only had 5 going on 6 years to surrender and yet...
mircea_popescu: come to think about it, locklin fits very well in the impudent imbecile gallery, with yarvin, yukowsky and whatall else, 70s to 90s born fleshwastes.
asciilifeform: ( back when it had mechanical platters, this was a ~monthly occurrence )
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: ftr, the samsung ssds are pretty good : i have identical card here, with identical drives, in 3.5yrs of 24/7 operation it corrected a misparitied block ~once~
asciilifeform: plox to request accts.

a111: Logged on 2019-01-16 14:07 asciilifeform: incidentally : raid verify is set for midnight saturday. which iirc was the time of the first reset.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i'm thinking to switch off the raid auto-walk ( http://btcbase.org/log/2019-01-16#1887553 ) currently, and set it going manually during a maintenance window that we'll announce after folx are seated on the rk. ☝︎
asciilifeform: ( and yep it's the defrocked physics d00d from old thread )
asciilifeform: hey last i recall e.g. karzai's $100m monthly 'hercules' crate was openly aired , d00d still on throne
mircea_popescu: heh, usg basically cannibalizing its foreign service. not being able to defend allies is one thing, but who the fuck is ever going to deal with them again.

asciilifeform: there's ~2 ~indistinguishable 'alternatives' to errything.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: recall, it's the magick land of 'which can of pepsi wouldja like, left or right'
a111: Logged on 2015-09-03 01:38 asciilifeform: e.g. there is no 'i don't care if the chicken ate gmo corn but please no antibiotic' shop
a111: Logged on 2016-02-15 17:58 asciilifeform: specifically how there is no place in usa where one can 'i will pay double for non-monsanto but i don't give a fuck about 'gmo' and i sure as fuck don't want to see homeopathic crud in the shop'
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-02-15#1406177 << possibly thread ☝︎
mircea_popescu: the empire of idiots manages to construct two ~equally idiotic non-alternatives out of everything.
a111: Logged on 2019-01-16 18:02 asciilifeform: trinque: iirc in usa you get to pick b/w 'vaccine is the devil's work' and 'load'im up on errything, incl. some radwaste for good measure'
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-01-16#1887877 << this is very much the case ; muchly reminiscent re your point of "why can't i buy just the sanity of vegan" or somesuch. ☝︎
