asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: really i was hoping for next run to be the MB/sec lyso crystal fg. but, potentially, yes
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: those were running at a what 4x markup or something stiff last i saw?
ben_vulpes: scratch that; because we need fg i'm asking for 'em.
mircea_popescu: mind also that 100 fgs are somewhat expensive ; and you're cash starved. neither for time nor for money do you want to marry the rockchip pile to fgs
ben_vulpes: right right well knowing that we booughtcha out i'm asking for a quote hoping (since confirmed) that a new run was in the works or to get one underway
mircea_popescu: we'll have to fabricate more ; which is in the early stages.
mircea_popescu: the former, the former.
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: for the love of all that is holy i hope you mean "pizarro bought all teh extant fg" and not "all the fg that will ever be already are"
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes, theres no more fgs.
ave1: But ofcourse only for the statically compiled binaries
ave1: it does not matter if the linux is glibc or musl, I tested also on a clean ubuntu arm64 image ☟︎
ave1: so the aarch64-...-native run on aarch64 and are static
ave1: the cross-compilers are then used to make 'native' compilers
ave1: note that the script creates cross-compilers first
a111: Logged on 2018-05-15 19:51 diana_coman: ave1, if I want to test your gnat-building script what steps should I follow so that I have at the end of it maximum info re what works/doesn't and in what context exactly?
ben_vulpes: and yes asciilifeform mircea_popescu can i get a quote for 96 fg or 100 if that's a more convenient batch size?
ben_vulpes: well that's magnificent and the part i missed
asciilifeform: 1 man can carry 4u, or rather 100kg ( it is possible to have >4u in regulation-sized trunks ) plus rucksack 10kg. ☟︎
ben_vulpes: i thought it was 24/chassis, 2u/chassis and (for some reason, obviously incorrect), 2 chassis per trip.
ben_vulpes: my mistaken misunderstanding that you could only do 2 chassis of RC plant is incorrect then, which is actually cool
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: we're not shipping any more single servers down there until uy1 is gagging or l1 asks nicely
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: ah i had some notion that you maxed out at 2 chassis, if we can do it in a single run that'd be great
ben_vulpes: in the meantime, i'll focus on a landing page, wading through the sea of omg that is webhosting forums and planning in detail how to filter the sea, and booting alternatives to extant l1folks for 10kusd btc sales
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: 96 units == 1 trip, unless of course you want to mix rc + conventional servers in delivery
mod6: we will need a run of FG tho 'eh?
mimisbrunnr: Logged on 2018-05-15 15:37 mod6: ah, maybe that as for 96. anyway, will wait for ben_vulpes
mimisbrunnr: Logged on 2018-05-15 16:21 ben_vulpes: http://logs.bvulpes.com/trilema?d=2018-5-15#356051 << ~2.75 BTC at ~current rates gets 4 chassis with 96 total rockchippen, includes 1 delivery run per chassis.
a111: Logged on 2018-05-05 03:06 mircea_popescu: if bitcoin starts dropping again people will be begging to buy into you, logically.
ben_vulpes: http://logs.bvulpes.com/trilema?d=2018-5-15#356068 << anyways, since there's cash on hand and building what i think are 2 trips worth of rockchip plant would get us more than clearing rent, imma push to get the next two plants into fab so that when the price inevitably dips we have a basis on which to capture http://btcbase.org/log/2018-05-05#1809922 ☝︎
asciilifeform has 'enronator', prolly will upgrade to proper honest crematorium soon
ben_vulpes: seventeen lmfao i ain't seen more than 2 in a week in recent memory. far more irksome the raw advertisements from which i must sift actual and extremely rare bits of important mail.
mircea_popescu: or that.
ben_vulpes: one only needs the single return envelope...
mircea_popescu: my takeaway from this is, "if establishing natoreich household, saw oil barrel in half, dump grill charcoal + mail there weekly or w/e"
asciilifeform: or do you conscript the childrenz to do it
asciilifeform: what, if you get 17 turds, you open'em all ?!
ben_vulpes doesn't depreciate shredder blades on anything but the plastic; everything else gets packed into the prepaid return envelopes
ben_vulpes: far more interesting story than context-free bitchin about the spam imho
asciilifeform: mod6: there's a fictional lever
ben_vulpes: ah ty asciilifeform, the spare spleen where i keep anxiety thanks you
trinque: yeah, I went to whatever bullshit site and said pretty pls no bully
mimisbrunnr: Logged on 2018-05-16 02:39 asciilifeform: hey ben_vulpes , trinque , mod6 , do you also get these horrors in the post ?
ben_vulpes: http://logs.bvulpes.com/trilema?d=2018-5-16#356583 << have you pulled the opt out lever and contend it doesn't work or have you not yet
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: all properly billed to date.
mimisbrunnr: Logged on 2018-05-15 14:56 asciilifeform: esp given as the fact that the project has cost asciilifeform a good % of his btc and the bulk of his usd
ben_vulpes: http://logs.bvulpes.com/trilema?d=2018-5-15#355976 << if you're burning usd that shoulda been billed to the corp, pls to do so. otherwise, you're burning the usd to...get btc? i don't really understand the objection.
ben_vulpes: http://logs.bvulpes.com/trilema?d=2018-5-16#356543 << i've got folks in-wot i've already pushing btc to over amazon; i'm pretty comfortable with orders in the range of 500-2000 usd; what i'm looking for are folks that want to eat on the order of 10kusd of btc every month or so, that's the comfortable headroom i'd like ☟︎
ben_vulpes: yo BingoBoingo how about some scans of that hot cedula :P ☟︎
mircea_popescu: this is what they do.
mircea_popescu: o btw asciilifeform , here's a hysterical example of the usual boeckisms : http://trilema.com/2015/the-fetlife-meatlist-volume-i/#comment-125502
mircea_popescu: actually he prolly has it, coal bed incineration faster and better than shredding
mod6: <+asciilifeform> hey ben_vulpes , trinque , mod6 , do you also get these horrors in the post ? << oh yeah. i end up with bushels to burn every quarter.
mircea_popescu: because there really isn't anything else.
a111: Logged on 2014-02-13 01:00 asciilifeform: fact is, 'carding' could disappear overnight if the card issuers wished it. (even in countries with ubiquitous old-style magnetic readers. devices which present the correct magnetism, using one-time account #s, are trivial.)
asciilifeform: ( see also thread http://btcbase.org/log/2014-02-13#499334 ) ☝︎
mircea_popescu: they ~are~ useful, principally in the sense of giving agent a pile of them when sent on mission. but that's about it.
trinque: meanwhile creating however many billions of "fraud" within which to hide whatever the bank wants.
mircea_popescu: it takes a dose of imbecillity on the level of such displayed in fargo, to use credit card as a means of payment.
mircea_popescu: except the way it works is restaurant/bar/whartever you frequent is stuck hiring the fucktarded neets, who have massive turnover, and are potheads/convicts universally. just a matter of time before one swipes your card, and then go, explain that th4e charges were bogus at restaurant down the street you visit weekly.
asciilifeform: lobbes: typically they're harvested straight from vendor's db
lobbes: lulzy out there
lobbes: apparently us kidz these days are getting their ss#s harvested from the numerous 'ransomware attacks' on schools (i.e phishing government employees to give access to poorly protected data)
asciilifeform: 'lulzcharges from $distantlocale on existing card' is considerably less painful for konsoomer in usa, however, than 'brand new card in yername in hands of $joker'
asciilifeform: sad part is that it dun actually ~require~ collecting rubbish, these days...
mircea_popescu: more than half of the "global economy threatening" "fraud" comes from this.
mircea_popescu: it was rare in the 90s ; it's pestilentially common now.
asciilifeform: ( at one time i dismissed this as a laborious/rare scam, until met several people who ended up in it )
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: they get shredded not to shove'em moar compactly into rubbish bin, but because there are 'specialists' who collect'em from rubbish, fill'em out, then swipe from postbox when 'activated' card comes in, then max it, and luser finds out when wages start vanishing
trinque: sure, one year 0%, then only 25%, and etc
mircea_popescu: anyway, this discussion is vividly bringing to mind acquaintance there. erry day he'd religiously shred the mail spam. "hey, why do you not read it ?" "well, it's spam, waste of time to read. that's why i shred". erry day, half hour, at the least. saving self from the waste of time.
asciilifeform: hey ben_vulpes , trinque , mod6 , do you also get these horrors in the post ?
asciilifeform: nao they introduced ~metal~ cards. but these dun get sent unsoliced -- yet. when they start to, i'ma have to... idk, first burn, then slice what remains with guillotine ?
mircea_popescu: could just throw out whole neh ?
asciilifeform: i had to upgrade the crosscuttron, to eat these...
asciilifeform: the most annoying thing, sometimes the ~actual card~ is in there
asciilifeform: i shred the scamola 'preapproved!111' from these, ~daily
asciilifeform: dun forget, decade passed since mircea_popescu toured usaistan; cards with 100k limit are common nao
mircea_popescu: but those 90s items are kind of a dying breed.
mircea_popescu: well sure as fuck not with a card lol. unless i suppose the occasional "platinum iridium black iridiscent" cuck
asciilifeform: ( and it is unknown to asciilifeform whether anyone actually buys the 100k boats/planes/etc one can find listed on lulazon. it is entirely possible that : not )
mircea_popescu solidly despises anyone accepting credit cards as means of payment. they're the modern day equivalent of medieval pub wenches, there to have children of unknown paternity each year.
mircea_popescu: not to mention nobody but the lozeriest of consumer sellers would ~even consider~ the bs "arbitration" and visa opining on things and matters.
asciilifeform: 'small biznis' in usa is a funny thing.
mircea_popescu: who the fuck's gonna give visa 60 days layover on a mn or two.
mircea_popescu: not in my experience, they settle in 60 days or some dumb shit.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: can buy tanker with visa, if one insists. ( and they also issue own card, and profit thereby , good % of users have it )
mircea_popescu: anyway, amazon also sells larger items, such as electric equipment, boats, w/e. how the fuck they do that via visa is anyone's guess.
trinque: much better than dealing with idiot exchanges
trinque is willing to buy btc via pizarro again, as he has already.
mircea_popescu: don't a) put yourself in situations where you're overpressured only so that b) you can complain you find yourself in situation of overpressure. whole fucking trick to management, that.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, alrighty, but by now pressure's off you by a degree of magnitude at least. which was the idea, let's put out fires before they catch.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the 1 non-cn component ( aside from asciilifeform-crafted ironworks ) is the samsung ssd
mircea_popescu kinda doesn't know when these are needed nowadays o.O
mircea_popescu: lobbes, a cool, so you don't need an introduction then.
mircea_popescu: it'd be indeed surprising if a) anyone selling useful electronics wasn't from china or b) anyone from china couldn't eat wires. and so there you go.
lobbes: mircea_popescu, well, optimally I'd be buying a little btc every certain frequency. Just converted some fiat a month or so ago though buying for pizarro
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, cool. any of them want to be wirepaid ?
mircea_popescu: find some hunks you like and ~take them home~.
mircea_popescu: and same for chicks you pick off any other fetlife, whether they call themselves "localzon" or "amabitcoins" or ANYTHING ELSE. meat markets, all of them.
mircea_popescu: in general, the PERSONALIZATION of all relationships is the key to victory. yes, you met her at the casino bar, but this doesn't mean anything abotu the fucking casino bar.
