asciilifeform: all 3 equipped with 'registered' ECC RAM, incidentally, and bios set to 'max scrub'.
asciilifeform: all 3 boxes purchased under s.nsa flag; #2 is provisioned with same contents as Dulap-II; the other 2 are sitting diskless and await instruction from mircea_popescu re what he'd like in'em.
asciilifeform: all 3 boxes tested by asciilifeform ; and have original packaging and rails.
asciilifeform: oh misprint : #1 has 2.5" bays. (this makes 0 practical diff, ssd only comes in 2.5, i installed converter rails in the 3.5 slots of the others )
asciilifeform: all 3 have hotswap disk rails; and (why, i do not know, but it's there) 'slim' dvd drive.
asciilifeform: ( is it bigger than, e.g., phuctor's 8M keyz )
asciilifeform: 'The alteration of the table is currently in progress. As it is a huge table, it might take some hours to finish' << gotta wonder what is 'huge' here
asciilifeform: ( does it yet merit inclusion in the glossary ? )
asciilifeform: 'This morning, around 8 AM PST, our database for personal messages ran out of ids. We, the engineers, are to blame for not detecting this before it happened. :( We are very sorry for the inconvenience.' << gold
asciilifeform: ( the offensive scamitude is not even in the lack of cork -- to make a cheap ersatz corkboard, they could've used e.g. rubber from old tires, anything similarly 'self-healing' . but no, had to imitate the genuine article , PRETEND )
asciilifeform: to make the thing last even a short while, the maker used very tough cardboard to replace the missing cork. but as result the tack barely want to go in at all, create the temptation to keep a hammer nearby , and provoke the question of why then bothered to buy and hang up the item to begin with, could as easily hammer into wall
asciilifeform: aa yes! exactly same substance. minus the shiny. and scaled up to cover a wall.
asciilifeform: relatedly, i recently hung up a 'premium, high end' corkboard, several square metres, and it turns out that 1) maybe half the depth is actual cork, the rest -- cardboard 2) no other kind is available☟︎
asciilifeform: it ~is~ possible (or at least cannot, from my perch, be ruled out) that they took in moar coin from chumpers than disgorged to mircea_popescu
asciilifeform: well they couldn't have pissed away ~all~ the stolen coin, eh
asciilifeform: this pov is imho rather like 'it is the garbagecollector that makes for a lispm'
asciilifeform: ashes are good fertilizer but not themselves plant life. witness the near east (buchara etc) that never recovered from the mongol-therapy.
asciilifeform: ( 'slow paypal that eats disk', it'd be )
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it isn't clear that anybody'dve bothered with bitcoinism if this scenario were possible
