asciilifeform: unrelated q for iptronix gurus : wai does traceroute to diana_coman's www , show a long-dead rubbish domain on last hop ? ( netsideproductions.com ) ? is this config issue somewhere ? (afaik harmless, but i'd like to know why it happens)

mp_en_viaje: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-10-20#1947137 << agglutinative language ; this is what you get.

asciilifeform did not know this.
asciilifeform: they sell clamp thing that goes around arbitrary stick.
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: ever try using that riding crop as monopod ?
mp_en_viaje: curious how long till i actually use it.
mp_en_viaje: only reason i finally broke down and got a tripod was that it was cheap, and i already have a pile of car platform machinery, so what's it hurt.
asciilifeform: the '6000' mostly lives in its tripod, in torture room, sadly.
mp_en_viaje: before had actually half-weight, 70% volume even tinier thing. fit in a trained asshole.
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: you're entirely right : i find myself still using the old soapbox to this day
mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform, for me, personally, the ubiquity and accessibility of the item are 99% of its utility. if it were even slightly bulkier i'd prolly opt out of 50% or more of the pics i take.
ossabot: Logged on 2019-10-20 12:13:44 BingoBoingo: The prospect actually excites her. But when the time to actually do it comes, we'll see.
mp_en_viaje: another nice thing is that ye olde rx was really 16:9 ; now we're back to 4:3, which imo a gain.
mp_en_viaje: i am using atm a 1024px format which is autoscaled for 560 wide inline ; but i suspect people like to be able to click the inlines for 4x size
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: i usually put out 640x480, lolyes. but find it useful to have from what to cut, hence moar pixels aint necessarily imho a waste.
mp_en_viaje: if i dtpd or something, if trilema was an old school paper mag...
mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform, i dunno that web publishing drinks even 33% of the well of compacts. to go dslr... well... so you get an image 3x as good say, which once scaled for web becomes... same thing.
asciilifeform: ( 'a6000' in fact goes in adult pocket if one unscrews the lens, but it's headache . the plus is that can use adult lenses. )
mp_en_viaje: they figured out how to layer the photodiodes by frequency or some shit, nfi, but it works evidently.
mp_en_viaje: i suspect the ultimate driver being that this smaller sensor is actually way the fuck denser than the other larger.
mp_en_viaje: smaller sensor therefore more optics is the tradeoff (elementarily if your final image is 50 rather than 100 m2, then in the same m3 volume you can fit ~1.5x the lenses)
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: i got last yr the (also sony, i like'em) 'a6000', but it aint quite pocket-sized
mp_en_viaje: yeh, i agree. they retail for ~same 500 bux, but i'd say this is 2x the other
BingoBoingo: mp_en_viaje: Very good to hear
BingoBoingo: Because the space inside the freezone wank regime is at the same time Uruguay and not Uruguay.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: They apparently had some machines trapped in the Freezone regime operation. Impossible to extract without customs wank.
BingoBoingo: In the US, my suspicion is that if they don't want to part with them it is for accounting/tax reasons.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i dun see wai they wouldn't let it go if i were to offer moar than the gold extractors pay; but this is presently in back of queue .
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i did not get chance to study the pile in detail, but it was of quite respectable size, easily coupla tonnes.
BingoBoingo: Well, maybe one of the uncommon last print DEC Alphas is in the pile.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: With the scrapyard thing you probably want to have the list of what in particular interests you, lest you end up receiving constant junk offers.
asciilifeform: 'how coudlja not want to return to holy miamistan!' ?
BingoBoingo: Bicycle guy suggested I "Just go home", Explained the US isn't any better. It just sparkles more as it falls.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: 1 other find : the dc has, apparently , a scrap/graveyard. which consists mostly of... working irons. and apparently they've no ready buyers for it, nor stoop to using by own self. i'ma discuss it at the next meat session.
BingoBoingo: Folks from Venezuela seem capable of breaking out momentarily and digesting that socialism wrecks everywhere, simply at different speeds as places fall from different heights.
asciilifeform: 'tell me again about the waters of your home world!'(tm)(r)(f. herbert)
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: american folx get so readily wedged in 'chitchat loop' , it boggles the mind.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I got interest but not commitment. Your visit and the alien qualities that made hardware desirable or useless to us got some interest. In retrospect it seems to have never escaped the chitchat loop which is a stong insulating force among the locals.

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: didja at any point try to induct the less-retarded latech folx (who nao gone) ?
BingoBoingo: Even if you are engaged in Missouri style "noodling" where you shove your hand in the fish's mouth until it is sufficiently subdued to become filets.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: maybe it is brazen of asciilifeform , who caught 0 edible 'fish', to start w/ giants of the ocean depths, but i really want'em in. even 1.
BingoBoingo: Well you can only hook the fish that bite.
BingoBoingo: trinque: This is understandable, and seems a very meausured application of WoT. My outgoing ratings are probably overdue for another read and revision soon.
asciilifeform: trinque: this is exactly per wot usermanual, i've no disagreement .
trinque: or take asciilifeform. I respect him greatly, but I understand him zilch. maybe later that changes, but for now, honesty uber alles
asciilifeform respects trinque's 'my, fuck y'all, wot' .
trinque: flipping it around, otherwise I'm saying "go see this fella about republican matters" and then ???
trinque: I am however going forward with a strict interpretation of my ratings as my routing table, and fella doesn't want to engage himself in the republic. I'm just reflecting that fact.
ossabot: Logged on 2019-10-20 13:52:57 asciilifeform: ( before this slips into the sands -- is pretty interesting... the 2 fellas broke off entirely ? )
trinque: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-10-20#1947111 << not at all. I like the fellow very much.
BingoBoingo did read, reread, cut, and reread dispatch to derps before sending. At this point though it seems everything to be said has been said. Maximum pressure to derps, a case where the initiative is already in hand to the lawyer folk.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i ended up using the lift as a lappy table, and instead gurl as extra hands, worked 9000x better than 'alone + lift'
BingoBoingo: I was about to ask...
asciilifeform: even w/ that forklift they had, it dun actually make so much diff
asciilifeform: btw likbez note for other rack people -- it is ~very~ difficult to rack anyffin large/hefty w/out 2 pairs of hands.

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i'ma publish plans and put to criticism. ( also have buncha photographies in queue for likbez promised to diana_coman , 'how to rack' . )
BingoBoingo: Well, kind why I want a timeline. Even if you put its operation X months out, I want to see it in the plan.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: ftr asciilifeform's next agenda item, after cost sheet , is to put the logger back into service. 'ddos magnet', get some genuine picture of what this pipe can stand.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: imho this oughta be done -- but ~after~ the subset of l1 that wants in, is properly serviced and housed; and then i get that Gb/s pipe.
BingoBoingo: Still this is going to be the step requiring action. If you can put something like the fetlife crawler together, I am willing to help with the payload, and I suspect other folks are as well.

asciilifeform: ( are any of asciilifeform's prev. wot inductees still alive ? looking at notes, seems they all flunked. e.g. laddel. )
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: so far asciilifeform is a certified f-grade dunce at 'expand wot', repeatedly sent back to kindergarten. still it gotta be expanded.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I understand the gotta get in the WoT aspect. There's also the gotta expand the WoT aspect as well.

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: proprietor informed that upgrade of tower is logistically painless, simply will give key to the upper half.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: congrats on getting that rubber stamp btw.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i expect i'll get full tower sooner rather than later, it's still ridic. cheap for what it is. started with half strictly because unsure re who/how many will dare to live there, and asciilifeform needs rack space for self regardless.
asciilifeform ate log. will skip the flamebaits, but answer pressing q's, hands still quite full.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I want you to get most of the shared hosting gravy and I propose the incentives bring your superior tech talents to target gathering the gravy. Whether you go to a full cabinet quickly or not, I would like to see you explore getting the 1 G pipe sooner rather than later if the current intro pipe performs.
ossabot: Logged on 2019-10-19 12:33:34 asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: you could actually get 100% of the shared hosting revenues -- in exch for colo rate for the req'd machine, if you like. ( asciilifeform still baking the entire thing, as specced by mp_en_viaje , doing a 'measure 7 time, cut 1nce' but no one will be invoiced for anyffin until passes criticism. )
BingoBoingo: press of current mp-wp for comparison to the one I produce and commit to offering it for download on the main site for your venture in at from at least one page describing the shared hosting offering.

BingoBoingo: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-10-20#1947043 << She is amenable to having her life uprooted. The next few days/weeks are going to determine how I feel about Uruguay in the mid term, which is less important than whether or not a datacenter is found that bites on my pitch for a technician gig.

BingoBoingo: Police station even had a random old man civilian chilling in the lobby 1950's style. Story is he's someone's dad, but the chitchat really helped the couple minutes of wait pass while someone of sufficient rank to take a report was found.
BingoBoingo: It isn't the one failure they want to hide behind. It is the several failures.
BingoBoingo: And I emphasized the totality of events demonstrating the basement closet, as they operate it, is an unfit place to keep IT equipment.
BingoBoingo: Either theft under art 340 or theft of things of minor value under art 342 because I did observe servers running in an uncooled datacenter hall, an event that provides knowledge leaving me incapable of saying certainly whether the severs have any remaining value or not even if they do appear to function.
BingoBoingo: The printing however did serve. I underplayed my confidence with the spanish language at the police station so that someone would read the whole narrative of suckage and understand something reportable is occurring.
BingoBoingo: I will say yesterday the phrase "man of the future" was bouncing around in my head quite a bit.
BingoBoingo should also be picking up business cards Monday. The variants with and without phone number both include a GPG keyid line.
BingoBoingo: mp_en_viaje: Well they didn't take what I printed. I printed because while my Spanish is much stronger, I wanted precision. And based on my previous interactions with Uruguayos at desks, I had rather low expectations.
mp_en_viaje: it works because it's the correct thing to do from the subjective perspective ; and that always betrays a certain thing to the observer.
mp_en_viaje: this also has entirely nothing to do with it being "the correct thing to do" in the terms bois represent correctness, "does SHE want me to go there say hi to her" / "is it correct in the system's own view" bla bla.
