asciilifeform: ( there's diana_coman , ersatz-dulap hosting http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log + bot, and a trb . )
asciilifeform: esp. given that there aint much load atm
asciilifeform: ^ too early to talk of 'unsinkable pipe' there
snsabot: asciilifeform: time since my last reconnect : 2d 19h 34m
Bingoboingo: asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje doesn't have the problem of derp weather. He's got the problem of actually moving data.
asciilifeform: Bingoboingo: even the baseline pipe, came with all sortsa fancy guarantees. i'd like to find what they're actually worth.
Bingoboingo: Those photos, they add up
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: aite. but if you did, a mp_en_viaje mirror would be a++ test of pipe.
mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform, sokay, i dun intend to become youtube2 anyways.
Bingoboingo: Well, "own goal" in sporting terms
mp_en_viaje: idiots fucked tumblr now everyone's reading trilema to get their jollies off
asciilifeform would offer to mp_en_viaje another pilot, w/ properly written instruction manuals, but sadly cannot yet, the 'dulap' crates aint here yet, grr
asciilifeform: Bingoboingo: the diff b/w 'troo' and untroo is in ~heads~, not irons, imho. any idjit can buy spiffy-looking irons, classy fire extinguishers, other costume props.
mp_en_viaje: well the downside of al lthe travelblogging is that trilema's bustin' at the pipe seams again, da fuck i'm gonna do
asciilifeform: Bingoboingo: fwiw i was entirely fooled by latech's dressing up as 'actual datacenter', so cannot say 'yes, indeed, this is surely it'. but fwiw very diff. picture than what saw there. (e.g. each of the 3 halls is fully 4+x the size of latech's 1, and inhabited mostly by actual comps, not old 'dell's stacked in a heap, tho at least 1 halfcab in fact contained those). only time/actual usage can tell the diff b/w sham and troo dc, afai
Bingoboingo: Anyways, this shit is for the blog
Bingoboingo: I suspect they anticipated I would have been dumb enough to declare their boy as counsel or invite a nagfest despite... Their receipt of a certified telegram from muh boy.
Bingoboingo: Judging from the size of the crowd in the humans box today, I suspect offering them contact information for the counsel I did was a surprise.
Bingoboingo: asciilifeform: I expect your new home is far more resistant to fraud complaints concerning their failure to actually be a datacenter
asciilifeform: Bingoboingo: here, 3 halls, 1 packed, 2 ~half-full, none was anywhere as hot or loud as latech at the time i went there
Bingoboingo: asciilifeform: The damned's other halls you didn't have the chance to visit, also loud
asciilifeform: erryone here seems to offer same watt/m^3 density, i suspect comes from fire code.
Bingoboingo: Some of the other racks in that basement closet just spit heat
asciilifeform: Bingoboingo: another ameri-dc oddity -- they dun seem to have a one standard voltage. the bmore people offered strictly 208v (where else in usa 208 ?!)
asciilifeform: Bingoboingo: fwiw the place was comfortably cool, and, more unusually, quiet (i.e. could have conversation standing 2m apart)
Bingoboingo: The wheeling back was much more challenging than either 1U trip
Bingoboingo: Well cooling makes or breaks their tier
asciilifeform: the sad dc i talked to earlier, was same. i suspect is how they meet thermal density spec.
Bingoboingo: The 9" needle nose also is THE tool for the retaining tabs on the supermicro rails. I imagine Linesmans would also work in a pinch, mebbe
asciilifeform: Bingoboingo: they only do 10a per halfcab (i.e. 20 for full), apparently .
asciilifeform: asked about it, 'this was the prev fella's, take it'
Bingoboingo: Probably because if you ask they'll wire you for 30 amps
asciilifeform: Bingoboingo: also came w/ a pdu but with 1 of those 30amp ameriplugs (90 degree prong) and could not be plugged into the new meter'd pdu, had to mothball
Bingoboingo: Or they came with the switch, QntraCase, etc
Bingoboingo: asciilifeform: This may be the same screw. I got them with the nuts.
asciilifeform: Bingoboingo: interestingly, mine came w/ buncha square nuts but all for some peculiar/nonstandard screw, had to take'em all out.
Bingoboingo: Rails came out MUCH easier than they went in.
Bingoboingo: And no m2 screws at all. Just oodles of my black #3 philips bolts the rack nuts eat. Rack nuts stripped as well so they can put their plastic airflow strips in.
Bingoboingo: asciilifeform: If that happens I will have them fedex'd or DHL'd around the block.
Bingoboingo: And the patch panel
asciilifeform wonders if they'll have the 'chutzpa' to 'hey, there were 14 m2 screws when you moved in and now there are 13!' etc
Bingoboingo: All that's left in the cabinet is their gray C13/C14 power cable
Bingoboingo: There was an east indian fella working on a 1/2 cabinet. He borrowed my pliers to cut something. Did not ask why I was emptying a cabinet.
Bingoboingo: Everything is out of the cabinet in WTC 4. Uneventful other than I was received by a new face. Heavier, ginger bearded fella that had a private security/investigator look.
Bingoboingo: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-10-25#1948177 << To be clear they wrote their contract in a way that allows then to charge interest specifically LIBOR + 12% on late payment rather than declaring immediate default and suspension of service.
mp_en_viaje: Bingoboingo, they sure let them in frankfurt. socialism kills.
mp_en_viaje: neways, i shall be off to town nao
Bingoboingo: And if they guys aren't bringing pussy, I don't expect they'd be micro-MPs exempt from the rules
Bingoboingo: I expectd the rule with those places to be "No pussy, No pass"
Bingoboingo: Wait, they let those in?!
mp_en_viaje: basically, they're one of those dudes with no gf tryina talk to you at the swing club. "find a hand somewhere, talk to that"
mp_en_viaje: man willing to die for his 3 ring binder should feel the burn, not merely "conceptual death"
mp_en_viaje: you don' tsign anything, or even care, feel free to disdain the rats if you like that, they might as well feel the burn of their inconsequential arrangements,
Bingoboingo: But with the dump I've seen from them...
mp_en_viaje: if they don't let you go in, just go back to original sectional.
mp_en_viaje: unless they hit you in the head with a power supply or something, you dun have what to talk about with the local cops.
Bingoboingo: Well due to orc tower hosting among other things on other floors, small country embassies... there's almost always one officer on site during business hours.
mp_en_viaje: orcs do a lot of thse "copies of human land extremities as ordinary business"
mp_en_viaje: it'll prolly work ~same as "free condo florida vacation", dweeby dude there in polyester shirt talking your ear off
Bingoboingo: Just in case I will be bringing my receipt from making the "hecho policial" and the laywer's card so I can make a phone call if they are dumb enough to do something REALLY stupid.
feedbot: http://trilema.com/2019/kotelna/ << Trilema -- Kotelna
Bingoboingo: My impression of their counsel is differently pinoy
mp_en_viaje: can very well walk into house of "leader of the house" in washington, piss in his plate, and "lessee what you can do, big man ?"
mp_en_viaje: the things diana_coman was saying re dc isn't JUST dc
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: right, seems like they're on 'indian call center' level
Bingoboingo: Per the contract language on late payment this time next month would still merely be late rather than default
mp_en_viaje: which is the position here : you can shrug, you can just as well laugh in their faces. they've been bitched, it's done.
mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform, their legal is outsourced shit, can't deal with the police report and so... they;ll takr their losses.
Bingoboingo: asciilifeform: Their contract lacks a retention clause. Also I am not in default with them
Bingoboingo: cc'd te attorney
asciilifeform: Bingoboingo: it's pretty strange, at least by human standards ( usually dc tried to impound gear if it thinks yer in default )
Bingoboingo: I replied by stating my lone intent today is peacefully retrieving my things, and that it seems in everyone's best interest to allow our legal empires the opportunity to discuss the other matters. Included the contract information of muh boy for their convenience and cc'd them
mp_en_viaje: Bingoboingo, they'll prolly show up to pester you about nonsense, feel free to shrug.
Bingoboingo: This morning I had in my inbox from Maxi of the damned: "Buen día. Está bien por mí. No hay problema en proceder a dicho retiro. Ello no implica renuncia o dispensa de la obligación de cumplir plenamente la obligación de pago prevista hasta la finalización del contrato."
Bingoboingo will be attempting equipment removal today.

ossabot: Logged on 2019-10-23 04:47:07 spyked: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-10-21#1947307 <-- defo interested and my schedule is open for changes/amendments come november. I am currently working a full-time saeculum gig, so I wouldn't be able to take this as a full-time thing, but I could do this in small weekly/monthly pieces, as with previous published work. so if you think this works and I'm th
trinque: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-10-23#1947777 << awesome, pop into #trinque and we'll talk about it
mp_en_viaje: neways, ima to bed. megapost tomorrow sometime, if i can dig myself out of the slutpile. have a great time erryone & all!
ossabot: Logged on 2019-10-24 16:49:48 asciilifeform: apparently loox like 1 of those 'usg rolls up hp, sgi, cray, and gives their shredded bones to intel to eat' affairs.
mp_en_viaje: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-10-24#1948116 << ayup, precisely, usg paper asset thing, holding up a notional market.
ossabot: Logged on 2019-10-24 14:17:11 mod6: I'm sure MP will be instructive on this part.
ossabot: Logged on 2019-10-24 13:46:54 asciilifeform: !Qlater tell spyked can you add my www to feedbot-commentism roster plox ? ty
ossabot: Logged on 2019-10-24 12:50:53 asciilifeform: ...and if you actually have the budget to even try.
mp_en_viaje: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-10-24#1948101 << i'll sort it for you if you have a specific set that needs sorting. i dun wanna make general pronouncements, more trouble than worth.
mp_en_viaje: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-10-24#1948056 << he's not adding it, you add it, gotta subscribe to the feed. dunno about your own setup but on mp-wp it's something like !1subscribe http://thewhet.net/comments/feed/ or such.
mp_en_viaje: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-10-24#1948009 << it's always a crapshoot. you can get counsel worth millions through springing for a $500 nothing. eminent lottery ticket, only comparable to picking up girlfriends. famously (if fantastically) frank sinatra picked up the woman that died for him through buying her a ten dollar bus ticket.
mp_en_viaje: but in context of tmsr. again -- because there;s a heavy undertone here of "hire yourself out as apprentice" which i don't particularly want fucked.
snsabot: Logged on 2019-10-24 08:08:26 mp_en_viaje: hire someone when you're excellent at the job, not when you have nfi how to do it.
ossabot: Logged on 2019-10-24 12:25:39 asciilifeform: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-10-24#1947977 << this holds in context of apprenticeship, but where else ? hire auto mechanic only if you are auto mechanic yourself ?!
asciilifeform: imho it's 'cool' in only the sense e.g. halon system is 'cool'. i.e. when ~need~ and nuffin else will do. at all other times horror.
mp_en_viaje: it's not fucking cool, it's the death of a thousand cuts.
mp_en_viaje: i thought it was cool, last time i seriously tried one, which was like... many years ago.
asciilifeform knows folx who use'em, but is strictly because they live in the middle of woods, or at sea, where 0 other choice but to suck thumb. no one actually ~likes~ sat modem
