a111: Logged on 2017-11-16 22:50 BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Well, after whatever hotel comes with flight may be living in hostel dorm for first few months.
mircea_popescu: else if(!("712837" in motigoCounterLoaded)) << lolled.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Well, I figure hotel that comes with ticket offers a bit of security when it's needed for things to get to rack. Hostel afterwards because moving to Montevideo during high tourist season (fucking Argentines)
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: If I was housing myself in the rack instead of boxes
BingoBoingo wonders what timeline is on more seekritive alf-isp
BingoBoingo: Anyways collected plan for presence during formative period of TBI in Montevideo is live in hostel, fiscal address and coffee at coworking site, lots of walking
BingoBoingo digesting "Pimsleur" to train write head around core of language since... usuage at the BingoBoingo store tends to focus on small subset.

mircea_popescu: mno. see, i had pasteurized milk, in romania. it was fine. different, but fine
mircea_popescu: us milk is UHT'd. this is a different process from pasteurization.
mircea_popescu: yes, because by usg mandate romania moved from pasteurization to uht-ization
mircea_popescu: uht being "ultra-pasteurization" in the sense sysco is ultra-restaurantization
mircea_popescu: (chief difference being that heating milk to 135 degrees for a couppa minutes maillards most of the long fats ; whereas classical process, half that temperature, did not nor could not)
mircea_popescu: (the difference is that 135/1s milk is shelf-stable for up to a year, whereas traditional 72degree/15s milk is shelf stable for maybe two weeks)
mircea_popescu: anyway. the lower temp thing is 1933 standard, related to the hettinga thing. the process is designed to kill a pathogen that... you don't have to have, and well kept cows don't have.
mircea_popescu: it allowed the move away from farmed cows into the abominable us-style groweries
mircea_popescu: so it is evidently counter-productive, not that anyone ever bothered to point this out.
mircea_popescu: ie, nobody will ever say "mad cow disease exists because usda introduced mandatory milk pasteurization in 1933 taking advantage of the 'overproduction' of milk the usg generated artificially through fucking the currency"
☟︎ mircea_popescu: notwithstanding that this is entirely factual, humans INVENTED a new, lethal disease for bos primigenus, BECAUSE retarded usg regulation has the unwelcome effect of responsibility divestment.
mircea_popescu: so you know, usg wants to talk about how "companies don't correctly account for their externalities and global warming", provided of course we don't talk about how usg doesn't correctly account for ITS externalities and kreutzfeld-jakobs.
a111: Logged on 2017-11-16 18:35 ben_vulpes: but it couldn't happen, pantsuit tools clearly can only ever be used by them against their enemies
mircea_popescu: i lost oxtail soup to these imbeciles, and i will take a pound of flesh and nothing else to make it right.
mircea_popescu: it miught be, considering how terrible usda approved meat is these days.
mircea_popescu: in fairness not much different from showing the meat a lot of daytime tv.
mircea_popescu: but "scientists have reviewed studies", plus denmark, plus the food does not become radioactive. SO ITS OK!
mircea_popescu: "running windows does not make the monitor punch me in the face, scientists have found. therefore windows legit os."
mircea_popescu: exactly the process of above, "make regulation to feel important about self in 1933, get new, wholly human made disease by 1973".
mircea_popescu: by 2040 we'll have "nobody could have predicted" and "usg tards still respectable / government still needed / state still important BECAUSE ALTERNATIVES UNTHINKABLE!!1" as per usual.
BingoBoingo: ^ Summary of what thing is thus far, comment and especially criticism welcome.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: More can be added to rack. Adding connection as symmetrical dedicated is Mucho Dinero. Adding connecection as asymmetrical is less.
BingoBoingo: And irony of ironies, alf and Bingo flip on bandwidth
BingoBoingo: Conversation did begin as they all did with 10 to 20 Gbps ask, moved to expected sustained transfer + headroom
BingoBoingo: 100 Mbps, guaranteed International speed is 3000 USd and change
BingoBoingo: Hong Kong happy to offer 10 Gbps at that price... for traffic within Hong Kong (rest of PRC, International, 50 Mbps, 100 Mbps still moar)
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo breakdown of that 19k is the paramount consideratyion here. be detailed.
BingoBoingo: I am glad to offer: 6283 (or 5150, unclear yet if VAT'd) off the shelf SA corp including lawyer, notary, and accountant fees, 1500 to set up the rack, 600 to LACNIC as a nano size ISP for IP allotment, 5335 for first month's rack rent, 341 for fiscal address and space with lock 24/7 access to coffee pot, 1200 budgeted to switch and router (actual likely closer to half that), 3200 putting Bingo in Montevideo (actual likely less budgeting
BingoBoingo: worse case). Pls to let me know if sane, other expenses to expect, or if more fat to cut.
mircea_popescu: jesus that's an expensive corp. 60x what rando us agent charges for a scorp ?
mircea_popescu: 3200 putting Bingo in Montevideo being what, plane ticket + what exactly ?
BingoBoingo: Plane + hotel bundle eyeballed off of expedia
mircea_popescu: iirc my argentine corp cost me about $700 or so to set up, though i was being generous with teh locals.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo is this google produced gringo scalper ? or local anything ?
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Gringo attorney in Montevideo.
BingoBoingo: Searching for cheaper off the shelf corps, but none yet found
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo at this point i'd rather give up trying to find non-tards online, go to lawyer in uruguay have it set up there. you can internetr just as well from uruguay as from illinois or what was it.
BingoBoingo: Aiming to leave between December 1st and December 4th
mircea_popescu: aite, so you land in uruguay, find yourself student girlie helper + reasonable place to dorm in, then find lawyer get corp sorted out.
BingoBoingo: Not reserved yet. This is the sanity checking before reserving things.
mircea_popescu: copa services ORD-MVD at ~1.3k fwis. not even bad. you getting that ?
mircea_popescu: plus fees. aite, so go for it. change teh patrimonial bitcoin to have cash if you need. or do you have spare cash ?

mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo trade teh bitcoin out then, buy your ticket, go there with a gangsta roll.
mircea_popescu: did you check local bitcoins and whatnot to see how your cashflow promises to be there ?
mircea_popescu: montevideo + buenos aires (it's a few hours by boat/bus away sorta deal)
mircea_popescu: look moar insistently lol, network that moved millions back when we were unseating the whore face couldn't have evaporated in less than a year eh.
BingoBoingo will also move on coworking space/fiscal address
mircea_popescu: cool. build your network mostly, gotta know useful locals. don't waste your time with the losers more than it takes to discover loseracy.
BingoBoingo plans to start the networking with AA meetings, leverage that seekrit society
mircea_popescu: whatsoever works. coworker space, hostel, talk to the whores, talk to the students, as long as you talk to people...
mircea_popescu: just don't do stupid shit like puting up in hotels / eating at restaurants etc. follow teh backpacker crowd around, it's where teh hustle begins.
BingoBoingo: AHA, hotel is pretty much the same wherever you hotel.
mircea_popescu: a yeah, pack a camera, you'll get to give my travel posts a run for their money eh.

trinque: BingoBoingo: idea is we'll ship servers to you once there?
BingoBoingo: trinque: That's the pricing I have figured out so far.
trinque: relevant to carving up a U into VPSen for folks like lobbes
BingoBoingo: trinque: To be determined. Datacenter wants me to get IPs through LACNIC, will assist in the application process, but not guaranteeing anything
mircea_popescu: may take some finagleing, usg.dns decided to be a bitch about ips so as to force ipv6 uptake.
mircea_popescu: that it meanwhile entirely failed isn't gonna percolate to orc bureaucrat heads within the remaining lifetime of teh empire.
mircea_popescu: trinque better idea is that we have to figure out what boards/etc we're buying. a "standard box of the republic".
mircea_popescu looked at various would-be standards (earlier "libre" lulz related to this), none are worth two shits.
mircea_popescu: a v-root for proper box software (bios, grub, etc) very much in order also, twinned with box standard.
☟︎ trinque: yep, I will have to do some research there myself.
☟︎ trinque stopped in anger, resolved to use g4 and g5 PPCs in personal infrastructure
☟︎ BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> trinque better idea is that we have to figure out what boards/etc we're buying. a "standard box of the republic". << AHA, this is why cost of dedi box hosting not yet spec'd
BingoBoingo: Basic box prototype did arrive today. Has been assembled, but not really played with. Likely not too impressive for tasks requiring lots of horsepower.
BingoBoingo: Pero tiene cuatro nucleos y dieciseis GB RAM, so requires playing with
trinque: for the simple webhosting and bothosting cases, of which there oughta be many, max-spec'd machine is not necessary
☟︎ BingoBoingo: Hence this is the stab at a basic box. Board widely available, has serial header, but only one ethernet port so not useful as router
BingoBoingo: For webhosting though, one has to remember that hosting typically means MP-WP which can tax a database if the traffic is there
trinque: most sensible databases amount to ramdisk stores on a db that size
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> may take some finagleing, usg.dns decided to be a bitch about ips so as to force ipv6 uptake. << Either way LACNIC is cheaper/(less competition for space) than APNIC

diana_coman: PeterL and anyone else following along on keccak: 2 more problems found so far in the ada code namely 1. in the pi permutation it's the *output* coordinates that are calculated as Y, 2*X+3*Y based on input at X,Y and not the other way around; 2. at iota the corresponding round constant is xored into a(0,0) only, not into all the lanes of the state (following permutations will propagate the round constant)
trinque: asciilifeform: beefiest xserve was a dual proc 2.3ghz, tapped out at 16gb ram
trinque: dwindling but I still find them in the usual places for scrap
deedbot: Ingolfr_Arnarson voiced for 30 minutes.
Ingolfr_Arnarson: I was trying to find information on gossipd, followed the 'how to participate in the affairst of the republic' link on the channel automatic text you get when you enter and reached the gossipd design document.
Ingolfr_Arnarson: any recommendable log to read with more detail on the advance of the project?
Ingolfr_Arnarson: I am just curious because I mentioned the idea of getting rid of dns and someone who actually reads the logs sent me a link to the article about draining the DNS Swamp.
Ingolfr_Arnarson: !!rate asciilifeform 1 Helped me providing info and logs on gossip.
BingoBoingo: In other news, there was much rejoicing at the BingoBoingo store today as rumors concerning my resignation notice circulated.
BingoBoingo: Departures from there, particularly to greener pastures tend to inspire much hope. I don't expect many of my fellows there wake up to a battleship in their coffee though.
BingoBoingo: Also lead time from application to LACNIC IP address assignment is ~2 weeks
