mp_en_viaje: satlink even worse. in fact, satlinks are a major pain in the fucking ass, i have nfi why even bother
mp_en_viaje: meanwhile routing through austria is, well... laggy.
mp_en_viaje: the ddos consists of the same exact substance highway of traffic jams -- czech republic's always "ddosd" late evening
mp_en_viaje: also look at this, "ddos". all cz interfaces are dead, solid.
mp_en_viaje had a great fucking time tonite.
BingoBoingo: All of the pressure on all of the avenues.
BingoBoingo: I was thanked for letting him know.
BingoBoingo deceived... I intend to pursue the revocation of his law license through the relevant authorties.
BingoBoingo had a productive day. So far. Sat down with the fellow who recommended yesterday's audition. Told him that I was letting him know as a courtesy that after the meeting I developed the strong suspicion that the recommended fellow was the other party's counsel. That I don't know how good his relationship with the fellow is, but that I do not mind, and it may even help me if he warns the fellow that in the case I have been

bvt: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-10-24#1948109 << it's mine, installed in my ancestral home (and not kiev, no). it switched from -connect to independent mode only yesterday, so i'd let it work for at least a month before advertising it as a stable node.
asciilifeform: apparently loox like 1 of those 'usg rolls up hp, sgi, cray, and gives their shredded bones to intel to eat' affairs.
asciilifeform: ble network assets, customers, peering relationships and building access agreements for pennies on the dollar.'
asciilifeform: aand 'Although debuting at the height of the telecom industry, Cogent soon found vast market wealth eradicated and many other ISPs thrown into a state of turmoil. In a survival of the fittest competition, Cogent became the consolidator in a consolidating market. Over three brief years, Cogent completed 13 acquisitions of other flailing providers. Whether it was an entire company or just select assets, Cogent was able to acquire valua
asciilifeform meanwhile found a : 'Cogent Communications is a public company trading on the NASDAQ under the symbol CCOI. Cogent is headquartered in Washington, D.C., United States of America.' from horse's mouth.
diana_coman: asciilifeform: thank you, that comment certainly works better there (and answered!); no idea re node in kiev.
asciilifeform: unrelatedly : seems 213.109.238.156 is new trb noad, in kiev ? who built? seems to actually work, a++
mod6 food time. bbl.
BingoBoingo prepping to go work the legs
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: do the books, but imho oughta get mp's pov before actually paying anyone.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I will get the numbers, but my naive understanding is debt before equity. Customers before other equity. But first I have to do the numbers.
mod6: I'm sure MP will be instructive on this part.
mod6: I'm not 100% positive either, but if feels like that's the right thing.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo, mod6 : thinking about it, i realized i have nfi what the priority order of creditors is. thought, 'customers go 1st' strictly from example of bitbet unwind.
BingoBoingo: And most of the construction code.
BingoBoingo: Civil code longer, but it also holds all the family law.
mod6: BingoBoingo: yeah, I recall you finding that part refreshing (re: penal code)
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: The refund for subscribers is their customer equity.
feedbot: http://qntra.net/2019/10/iraq-pleas-for-international-assistance-removing-us-troops-following-syria-withdrawal/ << Qntra -- Iraq Pleas For International Assistance Removing US Troops Following Syria Withdrawal
asciilifeform: mod6, BingoBoingo : afaik the refund for subscribers is the 1 equation w/out any unknowns. so oughta happen as soon as BingoBoingo is ready.
BingoBoingo: Pretty sure I said this before, but is was nice to be able to read the whole of this country's penal code in a few hours.
mod6: Sounds good, take the time you need to review it all, etc. Seems sensible.
BingoBoingo: mod6: This weekend I hope to get the opportunity to sit down and do the accounting. Last weekend my hope to do so was beaten by time consuming yet time sensitive legaling.
mod6: Would this be a good time to calculate, then refund Piz customers who've paid in advance?
BingoBoingo: The meeting with him also opened with a FAR harder grilling than the meeting with apparently opposition counsel did.
BingoBoingo: The Monday guy, through his holding down the Montevideo outpost of an international... He benefits from big firm forced professional development. He know the ways Uruguay sucks compared to the outside world and the ways it doesn't because he's been forced to travel.
BingoBoingo: If the truly damaging denuncia is filed before they can sit down... kinda spoils the sitting down. Once a denuncia is filed it goes to the local prosecutors office.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: All that went into the first "hecho policial" was what the officer read out of mine narrative, not what I actually wrote. The second, far more damaging to the damned complaint comes if they refuse to deal and contain their liability.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: but the fraud wasn't actually in the text of the 1st ? so then gotta file 2nd
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I filed the police report for the apparent theft. The officer read the potential for fraud into my narrative.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: and iirc you already filed the fraud complaint, neh ?
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Second order effects. Very relevant to the damned, and they will accrue costs very quickly.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: if the inflicted-costs aint even detectable except over geological timespam, tho, it dun do much for us
BingoBoingo: Contact with the enemy and all that. Anyways, there are ways to inflict costs on the damned without actually suing over the civil matter. Like a criminal fraud complaint.
mod6: Thanks for the info. Sounds like he'll be letting you know, updating you on a regular basis as to what he's hears, etc.
BingoBoingo: Much of the timeline depends on how dumb and bad at math the damned is.
BingoBoingo: mod6: With the telegram he opened communications
BingoBoingo: mod6: If the damned refuses to settle costs WILL be imposed on them. How many and what kind depend on how annoyingly they continue to demonstrate badfaith.
mod6: BingoBoingo: What does his timeline look like on this, did he give you any kind of estimate to when he would begin 'communication with the damned'?
asciilifeform: diana_coman: ty. ( further re traps, imho e.g. python -c "print 11 ^ 77" aint much of hurdle )
diana_coman: asciilifeform: mah, I got that wrong, it was !1 subscribe not follow.
BingoBoingo: mod6: His mission in communicating with the damned is making the hopelessness of their situation clear. To this end his is to use every tool available to make it clear that no matter what, the damned will pay far more than the remainder of the contract. After that... you know what they say about plans and contact with the enemy...
mod6: asciilifeform: werd, just trying to get clairification on what's expected, next steps. Perhaps we can continue to clean up Piz while BB may have some laywer-downtime for a few days.
asciilifeform: diana_coman: will do. ( as for spam trap, until i actually get chance to move my www to mp's wp system, the spam trap stays, i dun have slaves to filter the 400+ spamolas was getting erry day prior to installation of traps )
diana_coman: asciilifeform: all you need to do is to tell feedbot !1 follow loper-os/comments/feed or whatever the rss is; re your blog I suspect the comments-in-here is precisely because of the xor hurdle.
asciilifeform: mod6: afaik (ianal!) is how settlements are made, by 'meeting with the damned'
mod6: So while you're just 'continuing to be a model plaintiff...', is the idea that our lawyer is going to review the facts from the compiled case-file/complaint that you've gathered while he gets his complaint strategy in order? As my assumption is that he'll want to have a meeting with 'the damned' and their lawyers before filing a motion with the court?
lobbesbot: asciilifeform: The operation succeeded.
asciilifeform: !Qlater tell spyked can you add my www to feedbot-commentism roster plox ? ty
asciilifeform: diana_coman: typically (esp. folx who can't be arsed to xor 2 #s..) comment re my own text in log, rather than on www. so got habit of this. but yer right, comments oughta go on orig piece.
BingoBoingo: I am confident that if the first guy was in the US, his hourly... would be far higher.
diana_coman: asciilifeform: ah, and now I think I got what you meant earlier re feedbot-comments and yes: I have feedbot announcing to me in private the comments on my blog too, certainly; works great, too!
BingoBoingo: mod6: The third one fell apart when they mentioned they were audit specialists and got very Uruguayo. At this moment I have no other auditions lined up.
diana_coman: asciilifeform: uhm, do you mean that blog-comments belong in the #t logs?
mod6: So it sounds like the third group is more in the audit business; are there other 'auditions' already setup, or a few that you are in discussion with currently, or have targeted for discussion?
asciilifeform: diana_coman: noted, henceforth will comment there. ( in asciilifeform's pov is easier to follow comments in log, but really decision of author )
diana_coman: I'm just puzzled by the choice, nothing more.
diana_coman: asciilifeform: no, but why not just comment there?
BingoBoingo: mod6: He knows I was/am auditioning other counsel too, but is willing to act in order to preserve my advantage in tiempos.
asciilifeform: diana_coman: do you have feedbot-comments set up ? ( i for instance do not, yet, tho afaik after recent fix my www supports comment-rss )
mod6: Ok, but he knows that he's basically our guy now?
ossabot: Logged on 2019-10-24 12:34:42 asciilifeform: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-10-24#1947981 << i admit that actually surprised that none of'em (at least as chronicled) answered diana_coman with 'just how many boxes are you planning to buy, that you are also asking us to convert to new religion ?'
diana_coman: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-10-24#1947996 - also, wouldn't this have belonged as a comment there really? or some reason to comment on... feedbot's announcements?
mod6: It sounds like you have formally retained the 1st guy as our lawyer, is this correct?
BingoBoingo: Continue being a model plaintiff while standing in front of the arrayed tools which are absolutely ready to disproportionately impose costs on the damned faster than they are acrued.
mod6: What does the first guy think the next steps should be here?
BingoBoingo: Second set of stooges present themselves as good as aligned with the enemy.
mod6: If I read between the lines, sounds like the telegram has been sent? Or am I mis-reading what "screws" means?
mod6: BingoBoingo: Caught up on the comments from yesterdays post. Does seem like the 1st guy is the better option here.
ossabot: Logged on 2019-10-20 14:51:29 mp_en_viaje: people ~never change the machine names ; websites come and go. so i'd say 1/3 to 1/2 of the internet's like that.
snsabot: Logged on 2019-10-23 21:42:00 asciilifeform: loox at what the heathen noad registry thinks the domain is... and lolwtf
snsabot: Logged on 2019-10-23 01:02:38 asciilifeform: discovered today -- similarly to earlier find -- that his new ip range once housed a (long-dead) 'nudecelebritease.com' .
ossabot: Logged on 2019-10-24 12:38:04 asciilifeform: fwiw when heathens are asked to do the things they actually advertise, sometimes very good service. e.g. asciilifeform asked coloco at 0hrs to fix this nonsense , and by 0300 hrs they ~did~ fix. genuine 24/7 repair, i was impressed.
diana_coman: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-10-24#1947998 - yes, sometimes namely when it fits/is easy given their current setup and so on; certainly.
diana_coman: I really suspect this would have been an asciilifeform-like reply only, though.
ossabot: Logged on 2019-10-24 12:34:42 asciilifeform: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-10-24#1947981 << i admit that actually surprised that none of'em (at least as chronicled) answered diana_coman with 'just how many boxes are you planning to buy, that you are also asking us to convert to new religion ?'
diana_coman: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-10-24#1947996 - that would have been such an outlier reply that I'd have at least taken the time to both talk in more detail to the guy AND report it for sure; can confirm: no, nobody came anywhere close to replying such a thing.
BingoBoingo: As I was saying, very un-Uruguayo office culture. It's not as ideal as a cultivated relationship with an independent, but for my failure to have that... this seems to be the next best option for having leverage.
BingoBoingo: And he seems to have a motivation to perform to spec in order to get more business referred to him.
BingoBoingo: The impression I got from the guy Monday is that he, personally, was bored for a want of interesting work.
BingoBoingo: Which are different and unsuited to any actual task, the want more for even less than the Uruguayos.
BingoBoingo: Then there's the specialist gringo/Brit firms advertising to the "escape out of the US for the Switzerland of the Americas" scam crowd.
BingoBoingo: Other than the offering of coffee from one of those pod-machines, the office cultures observed could not be more different.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I came into the first one through having paid them for sit down to discuss the residency process. Things never got further than paying fot the sit down in that case as their rate for help with places I have to go myself anyways was rather rich for the task, but they were incredibly responsive and un-Uruguayo. I hope I left them with the impression that I pay for value.
asciilifeform: ...and if you actually have the budget to even try.
asciilifeform: and this still only worx if sumthing like sane jurisdiction, ~and~ troo specialist, ~and~ actually loyal...
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: mp did warn, that the only way to get ~genuine~ (vs 'meal ticket') legal service is to retain and groom for loyalty a trusted specialist for yrs.
BingoBoingo: Surveying the local lawyers, most... to the extent they specialize stick to the popular bread and butter of family law, criminal defense, real estate (construction and rental as sub specialties), and the most routine sorts of contracts.
ossabot: Logged on 2019-10-24 00:31:34 asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: pretty interesting post. seems to be exactly as mp predicted.
BingoBoingo: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-10-24#1947953 << 3 to 4 years is an extreme outlier locally, would require marching through all the appellate courts with an intensity normally only PIT-CNT (Local Labor Mother Organization) and foreign (i.e. with money) investors have the endurance for.
