asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: if that's genuinely ~errything~ they've going for'em, then BingoBoingo oughta win.
asciilifeform: this is where i admit that i've nfi what sorta judges, etc. in that orcistan, and what e.g. latech is counting on when goes around scamming BingoBoingos. ( inaction of victim ? or connivance of judge ? or what is their krysha ? etc )
asciilifeform: not all pichis squat in concrete, apparently some (pretend-to) run dc's...
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i'd imagine so; but given mp's reminder that 'yer in a ~lawless orcistan' ' what asciilifeform imagines ' aint worth the electrons, i suspect
asciilifeform: i'd comment, but this is squarely a q for actual abogado, and/or mp , quite above asciilifeform's grade .
asciilifeform: the piggy aint the only resource, btw, being wasted, if there's 0 chance of a win, there is also BingoBoingo's time .
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i'm 100% in favour, ftr, of suit. but before can use the piggy , must get prelim data and for mod6 to concur .
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: so, as i understand, you have 2wks for to figure this item out.
asciilifeform: to lawyer -- maybe. if mod6 concurs. to get BingoBoingo out ? any day of week, and i promised to personally extract him if needed. but to latech, no pasaran.
asciilifeform: mod6 not yet spoken, but asciilifeform 100% opposes any further movement of any kinda moneys ~into~ latech from piggy , on any pretext whatsoever.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i dun expect it is possible to get serious damages outta the latech corpse. but if you botch this basic step entirely, i expect uy will become a very hot bath for BingoBoingo .
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: when init stages of cleanup op done, this oughta be 1st thing to do imho.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: as discussed prev., if latech won't 'amicable' yer gonna need 1 anyway. that, or parachute.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: you were gonna get an estimate from the abogato, neh ? re feasibility/times/costs.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: what's your current war plan re that circus tho ?
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: not essential, then will put standard asciilifeform-rk kernel , and correct if necessary.
asciilifeform: in re 'when' : if coloco folx told the troof re 'key on friday', i expect oughta have this in by mon.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: copy the sd also ( they oughta be standard, but iirc diana_coman may have modded the kernel, and i'd like it carried over guaranteed )
asciilifeform: ty BingoBoingo . i purchased exact same ssd stick as used prior, so oughta sit down cleanly.
asciilifeform: aite, let's ask BingoBoingo to dd if=/dev/thatstick | gzip > diana_coman.img.gz and then gpg to asciilifeform . i'ma modify it strictly as required to sit down on new ip and naught else.
asciilifeform: will guarantee that will cost less than previously, however. they dun need to be flown across whole planet anymoar..
asciilifeform still not calculated what to charge for these, and must do so quickly. i'ma give folx month 'test drive' tho, given the untestedness of the whole orchestra .
asciilifeform: diana_coman: if you'd like an exact image copy of your old rk, we can work with BingoBoingo , could gpg . otherwise will be 'virginal' as described in my 'gentoo for rk' cookbook.
asciilifeform: diana_coman: you mentioned rk ; i've prepared an rk for you, using same type of ssd as prev. lemme know if you want a different type. it will be installed as soon as i get keyz to the magick door and have the entrance router configged (it arrives, loox like, on fri. also)
asciilifeform: sounds moar like e.g. usa real estate, than btc.
asciilifeform: pretty great, you buy, and then mebbe later they 'oops, this wasn't legit'.
asciilifeform: 's transfer requests caused ARIN to take a closer look.'
asciilifeform: 'Officially, companies are not allowed to sell their IP addresses but in practice that rule is widely flouted by peddling them through brokers and then putting a transfer through ARIN's systems. ARIN is, of course, aware of the black market in addresses, but decided, after long debate, not to change the fundamental way it distributes and shifts them. It does, however, scrutinize transfers, and in this case an error in one of Golestan
asciilifeform: then again asciilifeform was told 'fee went up very recently', will have to investigate.
asciilifeform: 'Despite their current market value of between $13 and $19 per IP addresses, ARIN continues to provide IP addresses to its "members" for no direct cost, a holdover from the early days of the internet when IP allocation was literally a free-for-all. Depending on the size of a company, you pay ARIN an annual membership fee that starts at just $250. Members then pay between $100 and $500 for an address block with an annual maintenance f
asciilifeform: ( i.e. similar to what kept the 'swift' organization pretending to neutrality, until recent yrs , as i understand it )
asciilifeform: the 1 thing, i suspect, that keeps the show going, is the reich's desire to prevent e.g. ru, cn, from forming own 'arin' and properly splitting off.
asciilifeform: ...fwiw i've never 1nce heard of anyone other than landlord ( either at behest of officious snoops or on own initiative ) pinching a racked box.
asciilifeform: here they even had 'face reader' etc. stage props. i did not find it interesting, considering who it is who actually steals boxes in practice, none of these do a lick of good (or harm, really) afaik.
asciilifeform: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-10-16#1945892 << here btw also 'tea ceremonies' w/ fingerprint doors etc. they dun even need 'severed hand', there's a well-documented process using piece of sausage and gelatin etc. it's a theatrical furniture, these .
asciilifeform: ( cuz if not : where do their auction-block ips come from ? i was told 'ipv4 is full' etc )
asciilifeform: (speaking as almost complete ignoramus re subj) : mp_en_viaje do you know how 'well-behaved' is arin ? i.e. do they routinely confiscate ip blox from 'undesirables' the way the dns people do ?
asciilifeform: ( even if i'd dropped immediately that 6k on the table, apparently takes weeks, rather than 'RIGHT NAO' , so will have to start with certain # of plebian leased ips . )
asciilifeform: it's defo worth having. and i'd like to buy a quantity, but 1st to investigate whether even possible w/out selling organs.
asciilifeform: diana_coman: 600gbp for Gb/s and full tower is only 1.5x what 'coloco' asks for same. probably inescapable given the expense of errything brit, and not necessarily bad deal if it's a cage that can get to with own hands. may be worth 2nd look
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: entirely so. and i'ma chronicle the thing properly, get the photo-shy people into the photos if at all possible.
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: is jurov alive ? iirc he's in prague
asciilifeform: diana_coman: i was fwiw shown a room fulla round-the-clock fiddlers who supposedly handle ddos.
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: yer right tho. i can always 'un-advertise''em laters, if the thing's a dud.
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: fair cop btw. i amended the article.
asciilifeform: that sounds peculiarly costly. do these at least come with Gb/s ?
asciilifeform: diana_coman: so far only had <2h w/em, and largely occupied w/ formalities.
asciilifeform: diana_coman: i fully intend to attempt to turn the 2 into 'people' (vs 'horse') but would like to avoid having'em stampede away immediately like your various vendors galloped. ( will just as readily 'ride as horse' if must, the bloody rack is so cheap as 'almost free', i've been paying almost half of that sum for the retarded hoster where my www is currently )
asciilifeform: diana_coman: his assistant apparently reads my www. him also.
asciilifeform: diana_coman: i'ma ask the crew if they'd like to be personally pictured in the next phototour, also. they had some strange fixation re 'if you sublease space, plz dun use our brand', so left'em out of the pic.
asciilifeform: diana_coman: i suppose is what i get for cribbing from people w/out thinking.
asciilifeform: ok on reread , seems that i posted init. chronicle after diana_coman already asleep. so fair point.
asciilifeform: diana_coman: not to mention, yest. diana_coman did not say 'idjit, why not named vendor immediately' ? why waited for mp to barf ?
asciilifeform: diana_coman: the way i read it, it was on acct of both 'not yet key' and 'not yet known whether worx'
asciilifeform: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-10-16#1945816 << in that shop, they dun ~sell~ blocks, but lease by the single ip. what was offered , is to connect with broker who sells. i inquired, min. purchase is /24 from their broker, at 6k usd. imho oughta comparison-shop before shelling out, price seemed astronomical ( am i rube ? always 6k ? )
asciilifeform: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-10-16#1945811 << unlike piz, i'ma not only cultivate this 1 fella, and personally, but intend to find a hot spare. cuz they actually exist. and yes will chronicle how unearthed. atm occupied w/ actually having what to go in that 1st cage when it goes live.
asciilifeform: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-10-16#1945804 << i'ma be goin' there ~daily in short order, will have all the photographies and minute-by-minute writeups anyone can stomach. atm trying to actually equip the cage, remember that it has to be done w/ hands, and the irons purchased. i dun have slaves to do it.
asciilifeform: think, suppose i brag about 'ooh i leased a rack, such great doors and coffees' and then week later not plugged in. or entirely scamola.
asciilifeform: 1st to test that a cage in world's most batshit jurisdiction is actually livable.
asciilifeform: sumthing, somewhere, BingoBoingo , is always! for sale. i went to buy 1st small cage, tho, not whole planetoid. planetoid maybe -- later.
asciilifeform: 'they also want justification' 'this means what?' 'that you actually use' 'how they verify?' 'that they ping' 'mmok'
asciilifeform: asciilifeform asked 'what if i want to buy own'. was shown jawdropping lulz where arin wants not only 'get on wait list' but 1000+ / yr in 'organizational maintenance fee' and +150/yr for each contig. block maintained etc.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: last detail, ips are 2.34 $ ea. ( unless e.g. mp lends piece of ip . mp do you want ? what wouldja like in exchange ? ) and 2 come 'phree' w/ the basic halftower.
asciilifeform: 'how does that fella clean that bottom 'dell' in there?' 'ask him, not us'
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: 1 more lul re dc expedition -- saw same thing as in uy, some folx have old pentium towers in'ere , plugged into white konsoomer mains strips. apparently this not only in orcistan.
