trinque: imho *that* is
the product
trinque has
to run, but behold usg.aws lacks arm hosting
mircea_popescu: anyway, it's not completely broken. it'\s completely breakable, which is a different
thing.

the very least, need a 680mm ( or at worst, 650mm ) 2u ( most economical bang/buck variant ) chassis with NO welded-in internal partitions
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> BingoBoingo: i also have open problems
that you could probably help with. for instance, i am in search of a
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-05-17#1814828 , and of 32 ( or at worst , 2 x 16 ) port GB/s ~bare pcb~ ethernet switches
that don't come with 'minumal order 1000' chinesium insult << Will get
to searching.
Thoughts on a good way
to perform epoxy potting on my personal FUCKGOAT
that would be actually
transparent
☝︎ mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes, what,
they
told you
twas gonna be easy ? come up with something!!11
ben_vulpes: how
the fuck am i
to meaningfully sell shared shells on
this
thing
then, if anyone who pays for a month can get in and wreck everyone else on it.
mircea_popescu: you still get
to
time
the machine ; and whosoever
times
the machine owns
the machine.
ben_vulpes: does
this extend
to ftp users as well?
trinque: all you need is a privesc in one of
the services running as root, or kernel-side bug, or..
a111: Logged on 2018-05-17 14:51 asciilifeform: fact of
the matter is
that shared unix
tenant can create problems for
the others ( without necessarily revealing himself as
the source of said problem ) quite
trivially . ( vps is moar 'nobus' in
this respect, generally
the 'escapes' are not public )
BingoBoingo: The easy, inconvenient cut is a second 1U box for
the crowd. Web panel, quotas, frequent regular backups, and maybe a hot spare box..
mimisbrunnr: Logged on 2018-03-22 17:08 asciilifeform: i for instance do not see why , if it's wot l1 people living in it, it has
to expend
the cpu overhead
to pretend-isolate and vm-ize. why not simply
traditional unix accounts.
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: can you
tell me what kind of bad behavior can be monitored for and how much of a pain it is
to set up?
a111: Logged on 2018-05-17 14:49 asciilifeform:
the only serious weakness of shared-unix is what happens when you start populating it with randos, rather
than
the l1/tight-l2 currently living
there
ben_vulpes: lobbes, and BingoBoingo while i'm at it since i want
to get you on
the same
train, what kind of commission makes sense
to you for flogging shared shells?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: management is playing with people's lives, one's well advised
to be considerate.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes, let me put it even sharper : you have a man who conquered a drinking habit in a position which regularily drives men
to drink ; and he's complained about not having sane AA
there what,
twice ?
a111: Logged on 2018-05-17 17:55 asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: at
the very least, need a 680mm ( or at worst, 650mm ) 2u ( most economical bang/buck variant ) chassis with NO welded-in internal partitions
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> so we could say part of your problem here is idleness. << Indeed. Laying groundwork
to start drinking webhosting ocean.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes, understand
that merely clear signs
that management is aware of problems and working on
them, and open communications are a larger morale boost
than pretty much anything else. it's how folk manage
to man pill boxes, which suck for any other criteria.
ben_vulpes: or a mircea_popescu fetlife-style automated PMer
to do
the outbound
ben_vulpes: the active filtering i'd like
to put in is either a regular set of eyeballs (BingoBoingo's, or
the mentioned-tangentially sales guy
to hire) on
the "design" corners of
these hosting forums
to pm our ads for shells on
the shared server
to folks who are building websites directly
☟︎ ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: it is. i have neglected sales and putting BingoBoingo
to work on
that and conveying
to him what he needs
to know in order
to do
the shared hosting work
that has until now landed on my plate. with
the manual i published yesterday im now in a position
to hand off new shared shell customers
to him, and am looking at a list of hosting forums i put
together for filtering over
the past
two days.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes, why do you have an idle resource on
the ground ?
this is what management is, yes ? keeping
the mills fed ?
BingoBoingo: In
the past month, aside from asciilifeform's visit roughly and hour
to and hour and a half a day on strictly pizzaro business, minus
time awaiting instructions. For
the couple weeks after
the ben_vulpes visit
there was a consecutive run of days well over 8 hours.
The work has been incredibly bursty in its flavor.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo, for my entirely idle curiosity, what sort of
time occupancy have you seen in
the past month ? 12.5% ie hour/day ? more ? less ?
mircea_popescu: seemed
to me
the way ben_vulpes was going was
towards a yes/no
type response. aanyways.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu:
They asked me
to put forward an idea. It isn't
the best idea, but it one
that makes
the idea of continuing
to stomach life in a country populated by a people I hate and who are culturally programmed
to piss me off. I would like
them
to structure something
they can afford instead of biting on
this proposal.
mircea_popescu: saying "well,
there's objective costs
to $X, be it installing a rack or being in uy,
these have
to be paid" is one
thing ; but seems you're discussing another
thing, and how can you, i, ben_vulpes , anyone else
transform "future" into "btc value" ?
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo, obviously people working at something should pick
the rewards of
their work. what i don't get is why are you formulating
this split in absolute rather
than relative
terms ?
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> BingoBoingo, why do you suspect pizarro can pay something like
that ? <<
The idea is
that
there is a path for pizarro
to get revenue. If pizarro can´t afford something closer
to
that
than
the current arrangement, I suspect
they can't afford
to keep someone in Uruguay.
mircea_popescu: is
there some way
to slice
the wipe leg off
the assemblage
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform,
there's some argument (cheapness) for including one single antifuse rather
than making
the whole
thing out of
them.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo, why do you suspect pizarro can pay something like
that ?
trinque: looks like sandisk and a few others released some 2008-2010ish, and
then radio silence
ave1: yes, I see, unfortunately
the pins do not have a rx/tx like serial
a111: Logged on 2018-04-18 11:59 ascii_lander: 'we do not have isolation' is more honest
than 'we have cisco-powered isolation'
ben_vulpes: so
to enloggify BingoBoingo's opening ask,
that's ~1.9 btc let's call
them bonuses and
then another ~.7 btc in salary over
the year (all at current rates), is
that right?
ave1: no it is not unclear, it's reported
to be unresettable everywhere and I do not have a card laying about here.
a111: Logged on 2018-05-17 15:24 asciilifeform: in other noose, asciilifeform found
that otp microsd cards exist!! should substantially lower
the labour cost of maintaining rockchip cluster. IF i can actually find a vendor !
a111: Logged on 2018-05-04 21:17 BingoBoingo: ^ ben_vulpes mod6 asciilifeform I have proposed a start for negotiations on a compensation package
through February 2019 for your consideration here:
http://www.thedrinkingrecord.com/#fn1-1909 mircea_popescu: you will sooner or later run into issues you need actual professional help with. just like
the cold.
☟︎ BingoBoingo: Well, sure. I speak friendly
to at least one confirmed accountant at
the cowork.
There are definitely more candidates I can audition
than in December.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Sure, but
to approach
them on behalf of Pizarro, Pizarro's gotta have something for me
to ask of
them.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo,
this is very common. but now your spanish is better.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> BingoBoingo: i suspect
that english material is a leper's bell << It is
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> ( with parts,
the fact
that
they have
to arrive in
the country with either 300%
tax , or in submarine, or up an arse, at least partly explains. but why
there are ~no sane accounting folx , remains puzzler ) << Now in May
there appear
to be better options accessible
than in december, but
they don't have languages other
than Spanish in
their
toolkit.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, because nobody ever
told
them
they better be useful. so
they're "nice" or w/e.
