a111: Logged on 2019-02-14 01:00 asciilifeform strongly suspects there's a motherlode of naggumism of finns, that could be excavated if anyone were to liberate the 'dejanews' stash.
asciilifeform: a
mircea_popescu: it's a wonder he didn't go the ususal way for these
asciilifeform: iirc i switched a couple of'em to archived copy
asciilifeform: my www's links bar used to be this 'museum', but cleaned it up a bit last yr
mircea_popescu: should prolly start a museum
asciilifeform: i do have a 'butterfly collection' of crackpots, goin' for ~two decades nao
mircea_popescu: in other such, neighbour got himself a rented cat earth mover. something SO FUCKIN GWEIRD about little excavator caught inside microscopic garden, 2ft from builduing corner...
a111: Logged on 2016-09-21 12:26 mircea_popescu: ely neurotic self inspection, of which "transgenderism" of the alice/leah flavour is very strictly a subset, not to mention plainer nonsense of the kind displayed by eg. richard kulisz (see http://trilema.com/2016/full-loper-os-blogroll-review/#selection-847.0-851.1) or for that matter "lesswrong". between psychotic and neurotic, the beta boi is forever floating on this sea of delusional "you are special and perfect the way y
asciilifeform: 'I could never write serial uart code. maybe there are algorithm errors in the protocol that I don't know about or miss. I'd just use a tested library. I always have really high-level conceptual ideas, I often get lost in the minutiae.'
mircea_popescu: wait, this was a LAPTOP ?!
asciilifeform: iirc trinque found 1 in a surplus auction somewhere, booted it up
asciilifeform: upstack, apparently the 5k lcd dun come with the 999 leg. ( and won't mount to standard leg w/out a 200 $ adapter ( or, i suppose, illicit 'drm circumventing' electric drill... ) )
asciilifeform: where god help you if you have a garden etc
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> meanwhile, in asciilifeform's locale, price of tapwater has gone up ~2x. << There's a Pantsuit movement which advocated deliquent water payers need to be subsidized by relable water payers. Seems like your locale made it policy.
asciilifeform: seems as if the ipnoje thing did not pan out, and what remains of crapple, is attempting a return to 1990s
asciilifeform: meanwhile, in heathen lulz : crapple proclaimed a 6k usd (bare-bones config, ~34k for full!) comp; lcd for it : 5k ; ~leg~ for lcd : 999 $ .
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: The box swap sounds like a deal, would you like the colocation invoiced annually on both boxes or would you like the test box invoiced quarterly or monthly instead?
BingoBoingo: But... they do beat rockchip in potential diskiness, will need to shop a bit on this.
asciilifeform: as for rk, asciilifeform is quite reluctant to expand the rk plant presently, as we lack a 100%-useful rk gnat
asciilifeform: ideally Right Thing will be if we can a) lease out large boxen b) set up, in reasonably near term, the shared host scheme described upstack.
asciilifeform: a++
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, i'm ok for a coupla boxes. so the idea here is, buy copies of smg items, so that smg items become colo for smg and the new ones go to pizarro for itsef
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: can't in good conscience pick a date before i get the irons bought an' tested, but i suspect before end of (north hemisphere) summer, likely
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Do you have a clearer idea of when your next trip down to the land of Dairy, Pizza, and girl-looking girls is going to take place?
asciilifeform: iirc asciilifeform's old favourite hoster (going on 12y!) uses also a handwritten emu of some type. but no one knows precisely what. ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2016-05-04 17:24 asciilifeform: ''Under certain conditions it allows unprivileged users running under qemu VMs to affect the host Linux kernel in a problematic manner...'
a111: Logged on 2017-02-19 03:54 asciilifeform: (iirc we had a thread where i described how corporate ameritards, if given a problem like phuctor, would happily soak up a few $mil and megawatt of iron)
asciilifeform: the rk gentoo is half a GB iirc (incl. gcc toolchain)
mircea_popescu: only problem being "modern linux" is a 2gb pos.
asciilifeform: would be a mighty useful thing, tho, 'drop coin in this-here slot and get root on a mips cuntoo'
asciilifeform: ( incidentally, a from-ground system could support migration b/w irons, in principle. )
asciilifeform: the only iron in this emulator is the cpu and a 16550 uart.
asciilifeform: http://loper-os.org/pub/heathen-mips.tar.gz << for thread-completeness. (most of the ball is a sample linux disk, the sores itself is ~50kB) ☟︎
asciilifeform: ( the heathens use intelism 'virtualizations' for it, wins a bit of speed but at cost of 9000 nobus )
asciilifeform: this is sorta like what the heathen vps people do, but in principle could be a clean coupla-kB tmsr item w/out buggy multi-100MB turd.
diana_coman: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-06-04#1917031 - the colo option sounds good to me as it's essentially a long-term use. ☝︎
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-06-04#1917019 << i'ma describe, for the l0gz, the hypothetical. suppose mips emu in asm ( the heathen item in fact compiles to a 30kB elf , not esp. complex, but would want clean rewrite really ). this'd be proggy that takes disk image and it tx/rx raw frames to/from nic, so can have own ip etc. then 1 large amd box can host coupla 100 instances of mips linux from known image. <1s teardown/bringup. ☝︎☟︎
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, there's a lot of room between "highly functioning mental case" and "socially pleasant normal person"
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: you may recall, there is a small supply of spare FG here, these can go in your machines.
asciilifeform: a
diana_coman: indeed; I suppose there might be a case for keeping the production server only and then getting the test/cuntoo one only when there is finally what to put on it
diana_coman: to answer the q directly: not permanently, I'd hope! But it does seem to be rather long term since atm I have my hands full with SMG Comms on both client+server and otherwise we don't yet have a full Cuntoo setup to deploy and say that's fixed
diana_coman: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-06-04#1917013 -> until we change OS basically; the test one was step towards Cuntoo and that's pretty much the only real reason for having 2 since playing around with the OS on a production server is rather iffy. ☝︎☟︎
a111: Logged on 2019-06-03 20:27 BingoBoingo: Once the S.MG rental billing is taken care of with a model applicable to future server rentals, the book can be closed on ugly common law billing.
a111: Logged on 2019-06-03 19:53 BingoBoingo: I would like to do this in a way that leads to not every single 1U rental contract becoming a precious bespoke snowflake arrangement (beyond accomodations naturally offered and WELL RECORDED to sugar things up for big clients because "men not laws"). The idea is that by knowing what our book is on a machine, pricing can become simple in the way Colocation and Rockchips are.
a111: Logged on 2019-06-03 19:45 BingoBoingo: I would like to convert both of these to clear yearly contracts that will not require a time sucking archaeology mission on both sides when renewal comes up again.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-06-03#1916945 << a bless you very much! ☝︎
mircea_popescu: these days, this isn't even so rare, for a 30yo.
a111: Logged on 2019-06-03 19:04 asciilifeform: diana_coman: afaik not diff. only peculiarity is that he got hold of a net connection, but i suppose this is not difficult feat naodays even for hobo
mircea_popescu: but this is entirely not a mental health issue.
mircea_popescu: obviously if "society" overloads sexual relationship with "civilisational meaning" then they wanna "treat female hysteria", which is now "a condition" -- the condition of societal overload not working out in practice.
mircea_popescu: there's also a type III that's not really a type -- sexually frustrated humans get crabby. this is perfectly healthy, and evolutionarily necessary. "if in unhappy relationship, push it till it either fixes or breaks".
mircea_popescu: this ~last type~ is perhaps amenable to treatment. because if you give the kid-thats-a-blur something to fix him the fuck down for five minutes he might have the breather to figure out which way the shoes go on ; and if you don't... well, esp at that age, it's perfectly possible the brain window closes, and he never the fuck will. because this is how the brain works, either learn language by ~5 or forget about LANGUAGE. al
a111: Logged on 2019-06-02 05:03 mircea_popescu: meanwhile in delicious nonsense, https://pastebin.com/h5HxRWa9 ; moneyshot : "A thought we had a few weeks ago during one of our low-low mood phases, that perhaps it isn't worth pursuing bodily separation since we all already know each so well and can basically form new sentient agents in this brain on a whim, with a second's effort; namely, that if any one of separated into a new brain or some other medium of mind, that a
mircea_popescu: there's also a II) dataflow control failure. these are all the "add" (kids so aggitated they're saying something, the WHAT they're saying gets lost in dribbles). these are the manic-depressives, people so concerned with their "status" they fail to actually produce anything, like a robot that's 99% sensors and 0% servos. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: quick mp likbez on mental health : other than mentally healthy people (which is very vast indeed, and well varied, and almost universal), there I) an organic malfunction type, which sometimes ends up spontaneously organized -- much like "cancer" is "that tiny % of broken cells that end up broken in such a specific way they stay organized".
a111: Logged on 2019-06-03 18:59 asciilifeform: supposedly a coupla % ( at least in industrialized populations ) are active/latent schizo
mircea_popescu: in other news, /me shall be going to egypt for a coupla weeks starting prolly this weekend. mwahahaha!
spyked: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-05-30#1916277 <-- ty phf! I'll use this as a datapoint for my current changelog study ☝︎
asciilifeform: mips specifically is compact enuff in its definition that one could write a demonstrably-inescapable sim for it. would weigh approx what peh (sans ffa) weighs, i suspect.
asciilifeform: which presently dun exist, but theoretically is feasible ( i've booted a working generic linux on a <3000loc-c heathen mips emu, for instance, in the past. )
a111: Logged on 2017-12-29 15:47 asciilifeform: ( this is prolly doomed to happen in the end. i.e. gotta retarget gnat to a simplified mips or the like, and then run in emulator, verify actual clock cycle counts )
asciilifeform: imho this kinda thing would be a a+++ application for a 'bake disposable similated linux box with simulated disk etc in <1s and tear down to 0' item. ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2017-10-27 22:29 mircea_popescu: thatg aside, the more pressing problem is that we don't have a proper pdf-decrufter, (random moron with delusions of self-impoirtance failed to be useful, as you prolly recall), and if we're going to do something by hand this'd be more sorely needed than that.
asciilifeform: incidentally, i generate these by machine, and it takes about 3sec per. would have put it as a net-connected hopper thing aeons ago, BUT it of course uses a heathen render (there are no 'demonstrably electrically correct' pdf eaters, and i dun expect one to exist) and suffers from the obvious problem ☝︎☟︎☟︎☟︎
BingoBoingo: Once the S.MG rental billing is taken care of with a model applicable to future server rentals, the book can be closed on ugly common law billing. ☟︎
BingoBoingo notes the current predicament where X process that could be routinely handled by following a recipe instead degrades to a process involving several exhausting searches is exactly why "common law" jurisdictions inevitably turn into India, Ganges and all

a111: Logged on 2018-07-25 02:45 mod6: So the 0.03542985 includes the price of the physical box, and a charge for rack space. we broke this down into a daily cost, then multiplied it by 19, as we figured this out on the 12th.
a111: Logged on 2018-02-26 17:41 ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: i'm going to roll the FGs into the rental cost of the machine; 20% markup for a year paid up front for the whole kit and caboodle if that passes with you
a111: Logged on 2019-06-03 16:19 asciilifeform: then we're talking about the s.mg spare. which is a piz box and then oughta be priced entirely == to the primary smg.
BingoBoingo: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-06-03#1916911 << asciilifeform to be clear we are talking about both S.MG machines. One machine is a yearly rental where ben_vulpes worked out a sort of high markup insurance plan http://btcbase.org/log/2018-02-26#1786313 Eventually the cold spare backing insurance turned into a monthly rental priced by math unknown to me http://btcbase.org/log/2018-07-25#1837631 ☝︎☝︎☝︎
BingoBoingo: And a portion of the S.NSA debt appears to be FUCKGOATS http://btcbase.org/log/2018-02-25#1785997 ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2018-04-03 18:11 mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes i wasn't initially going to say anything besides "nay" ; but hey, pizarro's a friend of ours, so : nsa would sell the spare machine for cost, which is about .371. comes with two fgs installed and free shipping.
BingoBoingo: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-04-03#1792483 http://btcbase.org/log/2018-04-03#1792649 Appear to be the transaction. Conversation happened on a "douchebag" day ☝︎☝︎
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> or which is the s.mg owned machine ? << NSA owns its machines, S.MG rents its machines from Pizarro. ben_vulpes bought boxes rented to S.MG through incurring a debt S.NSA, visible in Pizarro statements in the liability tables http://pizarroisp.net/2019/05/06/pizarro-april-2019-report/#selection-13.5592-13.5655
asciilifeform: ( incidentally remember the olden days when one could usually suppose that someone with net connection has a fixed postage address somewhere, and humanlike house, and etc ? )

asciilifeform: supposedly a coupla % ( at least in industrialized populations ) are active/latent schizo ☟︎
asciilifeform: diana_coman: at this pt i suspect he's a bona fide nutter
mircea_popescu: that's precisely what a slavegirl is, a woman that from outside seems a whole fucking blue chip corporation all by herself. much like a car is, to the zulu mind, "a whole herd of oxen".

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, i'm well confused now. so i'm pying .40 a year for colocation ?!

a111: Logged on 2019-06-02 19:19 BingoBoingo: In order to break the present state of sin and approach the proposed, more reasonable figure, going forward my inclination is to have box rental priced to recover 90% of their book cost over the first year's rents and in following years track 50% per annum as a longevity discount.
BingoBoingo: I'll put up a proposal for pricing the machine portion of monthly rentals in a bit that elaborates on http://btcbase.org/log/2019-06-02#1916868 ☝︎

BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: The dulap spare was yet another monthly, that one strictly billed as a colo, which hanbot played with cuntoo and then the subscription was canceled when that experiment was aborted. The S.NSA spare is cold at present.
asciilifeform: the other is a piz box and leased at the lease rate.
BingoBoingo: Will take a peak today for one more once over on the boxes.
asciilifeform: !A V[FFA Ver: ]#
asciilifeform: !A V_[Peh Ver: ]#
asciilifeform digs though log, but still not certain which 2 boxes were spoken of. if indeed these 2, then price is diff, cuz dulap is a colo box, owned by snsa, whereas smg is leased box
mircea_popescu: i'm not trying to eat your lunch here, you should be paid a fair amount ; but note you that "sin" was ongoing for as long as i didn't say anything ? this is just not how things can possibly work.
a111: Logged on 2019-06-02 19:19 BingoBoingo: In this case since we have identical boxes and divergent prices on the book of 0.23423972 and 0.4 without a USD base price recorded in the statements, I am inclined to take the lower price and round it up to 0.235 to resolve the discrepancy and continue with the pricing exercise.
