mircea_popescu: lobbes, upon deliberation, i really dun wanna get us-sider servers, fuck
tghat dumb shit.
ossabot: Logged on 2019-11-14 06:05:06 mircea_popescu: dorion, you know, your article skips over
the most interesting parts. i can sorta-kinda fill in a sentence like "The bank prevented us from dealing directly with clients in our country of residence 2 as
the brokers were never required
to obtain any sort of securities license."
thus curing it into standing ; but i suspect i might be
the ~only one.
diana_coman: other
than
that
the dc itself &
tech side, it all looked quite good really; a rather pleasant
thing
to see all
things in
their place and ordered and properly provisioned and all
that; but myeah.
diana_coman: anyways; I have pics and I'll still write up
the whole
thing.
diana_coman: where "me" by
that stage was clearly not just me personally.
diana_coman: mircea_popescu: myeah but what can I say; fwiw I didn't hold much back eg directly
told him
that ahem, I can see how it's "convenient" for
them but
that sort of convenience has a cost and moreover it's
totally inconvenient for me.
mircea_popescu: when i say "the great success of lamp", i mean
things quite like ^
diana_coman: essentially I'd need
to fully interface
there
diana_coman: 2. payment in gbp and invoicing with all
their bells and whistles
diana_coman: on
the negative side,
they are
totally married
to 1.
their account-on-website system because, quote "I've built
the business around
this"
diana_coman: I just came back from
the dc visit
too; on
the plus side,
they are still small enough
to be able
to get
to know
them and
they seem reasonably interested/able
to actually have a conversation;
mircea_popescu: diana_coman, did
the whatever you were
trying locally die ?
diana_coman:
http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-11-13#1951120 - currently I would go with
the e5-2620; not only on larger ram & more
threads aspect but also because looking at what is available otherwise, it seems
to me
that
this at least hits on
the "widely available" even more
than
the e3, esp in
the longer
term; fwiw yest I looked at what servers I could source here as well and sourcing AMDs seems
to be mainly an American
thing.

mircea_popescu: meanwhile in glorious
timewastes,
space arena! never was
the
true substance&tragedy of design as a cvasi-rational process so well captured in so little
trapping! rarely will one find such a gem of a game, either! it's purrrfect.
bvt: re
tmsr os - i am curious what work plan
trinque will come up with, esp wrt static linking.
bvt: ty, i guess after
the article it will become possible
to decide what
to use for each of
the hashes; after
that one more patch - user-settable key for hashing, and rng work will be done
snsabot: Logged on 2019-11-12 22:03:27 mircea_popescu: bvt, once done fixing
the kernel rng, you wana join in
this fray by
the way ?
BingoBoingo: In local news,
the day of
the last Presidential debate...
The Argentina's president-elect came for a big photo shoot with Uruguay's sitting president and
the Fat Forehead nominee. I am having serious
trouble conceiving a situation where
the commies aren't
trying
to
throw
the contest.
BingoBoingo priviledged
the deedbot returned ledgers and invoice statements over
the notes in mathing,
though everything was math'd. Repeatedly. Still I admit
the room for error
to creep in when doing math on calulator and will entertain claims, but preferably sooner instead of later.
BingoBoingo: diana_coman: You're welcome and
thank you for checking.
diana_coman: it's ok, now I see where I had it wrong, got confused re start/end on
the RK; it's fine as it is,
thank you BingoBoingo
BingoBoingo: But yes, everyone got prorated by
time
to figure out
their customer equity.
BingoBoingo: I split all of mircea_popescu_popescu's
things for
their being used for different ventures, wasn't sure if anyone else wanted
that in
the paying out.
mircea_popescu: diana_coman, on
the basis of smg experience, he prorated by
time
BingoBoingo: Well, I didn't
think so, but I'll give it some minutes now
that I know someone else is
trying
to read it.
BingoBoingo: diana_coman: Right, I put in on
the 'anyserver' but haven't done any
tweaks
to it other
than making it clear
the operation is closed/closing. I'll give it a couple minutes and see if I can silence
the spew.
BingoBoingo: Even down here
the little shim for converting laptop optical disc bays into generic 2.5" SATA drive bays are common enough finding one wasn't a headache

trinque: if
that's possible, it opens up kids
throwing
the
thing into w/e school computer, like we used
to do with quake back in
the day.
mircea_popescu: ayer
to buy a 256gb one or w/e. or alternatively...
to only save
the MOST USED 32 gb.
mircea_popescu:
http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-11-12#1951034 <<
the more i
think about
this,
the less a problem i perceive. i mean, nobody even uses cd boot anymore,
they do
the hybrid
thing so you can use
the image on sticks
too. well...
there's 32gb sticks for ~free, you just set it with a data partition and
that's
that. in
the very unlikely case someone actually has enough artwork
to fill 32gb, um... you just
tell
the pl
diana_coman: I'll
take my camera
tomorrow and hopefully find some
time in
the evening
to blog it up
too
diana_coman: at
the end of
the day, if I get a rack or whatevers next
to me, I can just as well plonk a server in
there
diana_coman: mircea_popescu: hm, listen, can
this wait until I meet
those dc guys
tomorrow?
mircea_popescu: it's pretty much all e3/e5. i could perhaps squeeze a celeron if pressed, but
there's no amds.
diana_coman: that's
the
thing,
that I'm not sure
that it makes all
that big difference really esp atm.
diana_coman: myeah, I was just having a look at
the specs
mircea_popescu: the latter has significant larger ram aperture (3x
the speed, 16x
the address space) and significantly more
threads possibly (24 vs 8)
diana_coman: a lot of
the deps
there are not fully mandatory in
that if one wants, one can run
the client anyway but at
the extreme
this goes
to "well, if one WANTS
TO, one can make
their own bloody
text client already and run
that"
mircea_popescu: and we intend
to muchly broaden
the extant gfx basis anyway, hence all
these self-curing client genuflexions
diana_coman: fwiw I actually ran it without
that
toolkit but
the resulting quality of graphics is visibly low.
mircea_popescu has 0 problem saying "oh, eulora only works on nvidia" or w/e limiting in
this vein.
mircea_popescu: also, an attempt at a static nvidia-toolkit would be interesting regardless of results. afaik nobody even
tried
to any significant degree
ossabot: Logged on 2019-11-13 05:05:55 spyked: ftr, I was considering doing my initial cuntoo boostrapper install on a qemu. I've gotten disk images and kernels prepped for
that environment in
the past, it's pretty easy due
to
the absence of odd vendor-specific drivers.
this is probably not appropriate for gfx work
though.
ossabot: Logged on 2019-11-13 05:03:13 spyked:
testing, or maybe get some sort of remote kvm access installed.
mircea_popescu: most high level
tasks are "5 minutes' worth of not being fucking stupid"
mircea_popescu: a LOT can be accomplished in
ten hours, provided one doesn't pay any being an engineer rents with
them.
diana_coman: spyked:
the eulora client build guides are still up
to date, yes.
ossabot: Logged on 2019-11-12 21:56:47
trinque: k, so
this is little else
than creating a signed
tarball of
the cuntoo bootstrapper's output, and building a livecd/usb
that can unpack
that item onto a fresh system, bundled with some driver firmware and a
try-all-modules kernel.
spyked: ^ imho would be worth doing
this either way, if only because my familiarity with cuntoo so far is limited
to reading
the bootstrapper scripts.

trinque: spyked: what about you, have a usable GPU?
spyked:
http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-11-12#1951078 <-- I have an old
thinkpad with an intel 3000 (works decently for games
that don't ask for
the latest shaders & crap) and perhaps I could get my hands on other GPUs.
the problematic point is
that I'm spending a considerable portion of
that allocated 10hrs in saeculum, without physical access
to
the hardware. so would have
to work out some routine for
ossabot: Logged on 2019-11-12 22:22:17
trinque: I'd like
to approach
this in phases, documentation preceding every phase's work product.
ossabot: Logged on 2019-11-12 17:55:51 mircea_popescu: spyked, what sorta
time could you commit on a weekly basis, if
this
tmsr os megaproject actually gets going ?
diana_coman: other
than
that, great
to read a
trinque-heavy log for once, ha.
diana_coman: even better, just publish
the damned
thing already, will you?
lobbes: mircea_popescu: nice bug findin'. I'll make sure it is rolled into
the patch
lobbes: I'm aiming
to get remainder of mp-wp logger complete in under
two weeks.
Then rest of Nov I want
to
tidy up auctionbot. So Dec 1st should be a good starting point for me
mircea_popescu: the first lol, i'm not dragging
the whole mp-wp logger on forever.
trinque: but I want
to know who wants
to eat
the
thing with me, and start
talking
to
them on a regular basis.
trinque: I don't want
to burn anything out. I
think it's upon me
to specify
this
thing, receive feedback, and
then delegate
tasks.
lobbes: Not
that I can't start chewing on
things early, of course
lobbes: trinque: I also want
to make sure you know
that I still have some items
to knock out
this month before I can devote full focus, but starting in December I should be ready
to roll
lobbes: and
ty btw, for
this opportunity
trinque: lobbes: if you have
that GPU someone else will also, eh?
mircea_popescu: plus i don't remember you
throwing a hissy fit for no apparent reason
lobbes: trinque: I might have one. How do I determine decency of gpu in
this context?
lobbes: just
to be clear, my I believe role in
this
thing (at least
to start) should be at
the bottom of
the
totem pole. I have much
to learn still but am willing
to work.
Though I will need management on what exactly
to work on. I don't
think I even could have conducted
the client interviews on
the level
trinque (or jfw, for
that matter) did. I simply do not have enough experience yet
trinque: more
the merrier,
to a point. so long as it's *directed* effort
lobbes: trinque: I am around (and have been following
the conversation)
trinque strains, yet
tits do not erupt
mircea_popescu: potentially
there's a good half dozen hands here, if ave1 & bvt can be seduced into it.
trinque: sounds like not very sophisticated clients, not
that I'm
throwing shade at your hustle jfw
ossabot: Logged on 2019-11-12 16:59:38 jfw: dorion and I have a few consulting clients
that are learning linux/unix for
the first
time. We use
the distribution ourselves for niches it's able
to fill, and we considered it a good learning environment due
to avoiding various complexities
