lobbes coming live from newly installed znc on pizarro rockchip
lobbes: my vps on edis which housed my old znc has been mysteriously unreachable for 12 hours. Of course, cannot easily get in contact with them
☟︎ lobbes: !Qlater tell mod6 plox to invoice me for a month of pizarro shared hosting
lobbes: just gonna relocate znc and #eulora logz (which, too, were hosted with edis) to pizarro shared hosting and be done with it. Much rather deal with humans
mod6: oh boy did I miss ya lobbes ?
lobbesbot: mod6: Sent 14 minutes ago: <lobbes> plox to invoice me for a month of pizarro shared hosting
mod6: lobbes: that's weird, I don't even have you in the notes as being a shared customer
mod6: i've gotta go look up when the last time you were invoiced was.
a111: Logged on 2018-03-27 05:47 ben_vulpes: !!invoice lobbes .00067742 pro-rated march shared hosting
mod6: did you ever receive anymore invoices other than that?
mod6: ben_vulpes: can you help on this ^
mod6: ben_vulpes BingoBoingo asciilifeform : Our pricing on our website makes no sense for the record.
mod6: on the "shared hosting" page we say that: "Plans Available on UY1 Include: FTP Basic Account 0.001 BTC/mo; Hosted Shell Account: 0.0015 BTC/mo.; Hosted Shell Plus: 0.002 BTC/mo"
mod6: And on the "Colocation and Rates" it says "Shared Hosting: 0.003 BTC/mo"
mod6: am I to understand that you only get apache & mysql service for 0.003 then, and the others are just ~simply~ FTP and shell access?
mod6: We aught to think about making that more clear.
mod6: For instance, I believe we should take the "Shared Hosting: 0.003 BTC/mo" off of the Colocation and Rates page, and place it below the FTP and Shell Account info on the "Shared Hosting" page.
mod6: all in one spot. much more clear.
mod6: lobbes: anyway, I apologize. I'll invoice you now for August.
mod6: !!invoice lobbes 0.003 Shared Hosting through August 2018
mod6: !!v 907532BB69A074B4017E97F52920CFC941D612DB4DE9BF7C00DD9654EF9965F9
deedbot: Invoiced lobbes 0.003 << Shared Hosting through August 2018
ben_vulpes: mod6: the last rev of your notes says that he's paid up through october 2018
mod6: yeah, that's for the rockchip he has.
a111: Logged on 2018-07-27 04:13 mod6: !!invoice lobbes 0.03308823 Rockchip invoice for 3 months of service, through October 31st, 2018
ben_vulpes: oh this is for shared hosting, my mistake.
ben_vulpes: iirc he let the hosting account lapse.
mod6: Yeah, looks like he hasn't logged in since April 23rd.
mod6: lobbes: Are you currently using the hosting, or are you looking to get set back up going forward? And if so, great! Do you want just a shell account or do you want wp-mp too?
mod6: (I may have to cancel that invoice I sent ya just a minute ago.)
lobbes: mod6, ben_vulpes: ah whoops. I did not mean to cause confusion. I meant: can I re-sign up for a new slice of shared hosting
lobbes: everything's kosher re: past shared hosting services
lobbes: I just suddenly have a need again for it
BingoBoingo: !!v 2924B0F040D29BB74B80DDFFFF6E202EA769A1620846B39591203B76E2E01558
deedbot: BingoBoingo paid mod6 invoice 1
lobbes: also I won't need mp-wp on it. just an ssh hole will suffice for my needs
mod6: lobbes: ah, ok! sorry, I was way confused because I saw that you had a current shell still in UY1.
mod6: And in my notes, you weren't currently being billed.
lobbes: oya, I could see myself doing a double-take in the same situation
mod6: lobbes: ok sounds good, do not pay that invoice.
mod6: Do you want 5Gb or 10Gb of storage?
mod6: 5Gb = 0.0015 BTC/mo, 10Gb = 0.002 BTC/mo
mod6: alright Sir, sounds good. Gimme a bit, i'll make a new invoice for ya.
lobbes: ty sir. No mega-rush. I'll bbl later tonight anyways
mod6: Ok qq. Do you want me to just prorate the rest of august + all of september for ya then?
mod6: !Qcalc ((0.002/31)*3)+0.002
mod6: 0.00219354 BTC for your shell then through Sepetember 30th
mod6: ben_vulpes brings up a good point about my regrind of his Excise Hash Truncation vpatch, I should put in the manifest.
mod6: We've talked about this before, and I may just do that yet. Will think it over and report back.

deedbot: lobbes paid mod6 invoice 3
mircea_popescu: sooo, in eulora epic win, i got a 60.971 mn pop on polished small stones, at 7:11:58 local time ; and then a 3.043 mn pop on boulders, at 7:12:36. GO ME!
mircea_popescu: arguably. chicago outfit dood, iirc there was a conspiraci theory re "they did kennedy"
BingoBoingo: At least we know Señor Glioblastoma got other Kennedy
mircea_popescu: nah, there was a brother also shot, robert or something
BingoBoingo: Ah yeah, that Kennedy's kid is one of those AL Gore enviroweirds now
mod6: mircea_popescu: mornin! good, you?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform anyway, more importantly, and better documentedly, he's the guy who forced inept jew (cohen) to sign mob girl marylin for a 3 year contract
mircea_popescu: thereby bringing some actual value and some actual importance to the shithead "mainstream" movie business. which is ~the mob's contribution in that field.
mircea_popescu: they got hauled off for "racketeering", but what they actually did was make hollywood vomit watchable.
mod6: Shall I invoice you later Mr. Popescu?
mod6: 0.003 btc/mo is the rate on that.
mod6: !Qcalc (0.003/31)*3
mod6: !Qcalc ((0.003/31)*3)+.003
mod6: This would be the quote through the 30th of september: 0.00329032 BTC
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i just got ~120k of pss and it was mixed just fine, so i guess bot will need slightly larger table :D
mircea_popescu: also, a) gotta start somewhere ; b) she's not working to impress you, she's working to impress me, meaning your only productive stance is "not like that, like ~this~" rather than "your work doesn't make the cut".
☟︎ mod6: mircea_popescu: surely, lemme see what the pricing will be on that.
mircea_popescu: but i never do ; i always ask for vague things and then squeeze people with them.
mircea_popescu: well, i can't imagine how she'd have gotten a single enzyme yet.
Mocky: I find gif quite interesting, I would not have thought to do that
a111: Logged on 2017-07-23 19:38 mircea_popescu: (for the record -- while i do believe that IA (as opposed to ai bullcrap) is both perfectly achievable, in many ways achieved, and the ~only reasonable use of the machine in the first place ; i nevertheless think the problem is catastrophically ill posed in the "you know, like bullzoder" sense. yes there was such an application for digital computers, it is called "the numeric method" and still not widely deployed notwithstand
mod6: !Qcalc ((0.003/31)*3)+(0.003*12)
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i thought lips permitted one to produce rotate-able cubes as a thing ? hm ? HM ?
mircea_popescu would very much like an alt-"imageviewer" which could take 3d item and properly turn/scale.
mircea_popescu: mod6 not a full year hence ; rest of the year. that's 4 months and change.
mircea_popescu: the problem is this : given a flatfile of datapoints, convert that into 3d representation, that can be rotated, zoomed, shaved ; that is already colored correctly (meaning, as human would like it to be) and whose shaving and presentation can be scripted well (arbitrary and undefined well).
mircea_popescu: absolutely not static. blockout was not static either.
mircea_popescu: yes, well... this gotta be a standard. not fucking "video conferencing". that's not 3d, that's dumb-d.
mircea_popescu: and much like in the way of blogs, i want states of display ~linkable as such~.
mircea_popescu: none of this bs "link an article at a time". you either give me proper select linkage or you get archive.is linked instead. that sort of thing.
a111: Logged on 2018-08-20 17:14 asciilifeform: troo hyper-document oughta contain snapshots of all linkage. ( sure if external entity updates, viewer can be offered later ver, at ~his~ discretion. but oughta preserve linked material at time of linkage, the era of 'disk costs too much to store human text' went long ago)
mod6: !Qcalc ((0.003/31)*3)+(0.003*4)
mod6: mircea_popescu: this would be the quote through December 31st, 2018 ^
☟︎ deedbot: elsker voiced for 30 minutes.
elsker: Nobody you know. I just happed upon this place.
mod6: before we throw anyone out the door, maybe ask them if they want service?
mod6: i.e. shell/rockchip, anything. having Pizarro linked to peeps in the wot is hard-enough, but if we can't get anyone in the wot, than that's worse.
☟︎ mod6: pitch 'em, before you pitch 'em.
mod6: "You want Rockchip?" "No." "Ok, fuck your mother."
mircea_popescu: o wait, that's exactly what editor says. nice BingoBoingo

a111: Logged on 2018-05-15 15:05 mircea_popescu: but you will have hell on wheel in your hands trying to get more money as a palliative solution to "i don't feel like building sales today".
mircea_popescu: "the wot", especially in the sense used here (cream of the crop, people rated well by lords etc) cant possibly ALSO be the grease trap of everyone's everything.
mircea_popescu: the whole fucking point is for pizarro is to do the exact thing shinohai ineptly didn't do for the length of his tenure -- convert the innocent among the zek to republic.
mircea_popescu: just like the whole fucking point of having danielpbarron as EPT was so that he gets people in, for his own self fucking interest, rather than sit about. just how all the point of ALL these functions ever is : don't sit about going "oh, i have function x, see, this paper says so"
mircea_popescu: paper ain't worth the bit it's printed on, if the function it supposedly describes is dead in the water.
mircea_popescu: and no, if you haven't talked to EVERY SINGLE LAST STRIPPER, EVERYWHERE, from strippers.com to webcams.shit to reddit.etc, you have not done the job of "baron titsbare".
mircea_popescu: and i do mean ~every single last one~. i talk to every single chick on fetlife, meaning EVERY SINGLE ONE. that's the job of existence. nothing else passes muster.
☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: and similarly, if you';ve not talked to every single "webmaster" tard or whatever currently in existence, you've not done the job.
mircea_popescu: and so on and so forth. god gave us computers so we use them, not for any other purpose.
mircea_popescu: that's what it is. we can, and by god we shall because we fucking must ; and if we shan't we have no business here and either someone else will or, i guess, nobody will. in either case -- what has to be done stays what it is, rather than what it'd comfortably be or we could argue it rather should be or w/e.
mircea_popescu: when phuctor came about, we spent a short while with the whole "oh, whoever wants can put in his key" and a comparatively much longer whole with the "will get all keys in existence not asking anyone anything". this is an important lesson, and it is 20-fucking-14 or some shit.
mircea_popescu: if phuctor stayed forever in the "oh, if someone wants to... he could..." bla bla, we'd still have nothing there, and presumably be very happy with it, too. god knows kanzure amstan whatever other tard in the circus has nothing for their decade+, and are VERY happy with the state of affairs.
a111: Logged on 2018-04-16 19:09 mircea_popescu: 3. darwin fish spent a decade, up until macarthur was ~50, in that church (after some other wrangling, mormons, whatever). then suddenly, as he himself reached 30, there was a major "time for my own church" moment. except, of course, nobody gave HIM the bn-dollar moneymaker. any they even told him why : he's way the fuck too cool for it, or as joe pesci put it, "that was the last fucking time...."
mircea_popescu: the door for the people who're looking to NOT do things is down the hall. this is the door for the people looking to actually do things.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> o wait, that's exactly what editor says. nice BingoBoingo << The point was obvious enough to be unavoidable
mod6: mircea_popescu: hey, sorry about that quote. I never did get to invoice you as I was hoping to do that tonight.
mod6: aside from that there is a on-going debate about the pricing for the service.
mod6: well, I think it ~might~ be.
mod6: ok, yeah, will try to resolve all of it here tonight. #pizarro has the details of the debate.
mod6: Anyway, mircea_popescu, agree with your sentiments here. I just hate to see us slam the door in peoples face without even asking.
mod6: But maybe that's the right approach. I dunno.
mod6: I gotta do a few things here, but I'll be back to sort the rest of the pricing fiasco out.
mircea_popescu: sure, in principle. but different doors, the set of considerations for "can be in #trilema" can't possibly include "pizarro might want to sell him something". it's like proposing people wandering into the white house shouldn't be kicked out because what if obama wants to give them a shoeshine ?
mod6: *nod* totally fair point.
mircea_popescu: that's all i'm saying, not that pizarro's no good or anything in the vein, but that the flow flows like it flows. republic mgiht pick some people from pizarro rooster for enoblement, not pizarro might pick some people from lordship for making a sale.
mimisbrunnr: Logged on 2018-04-28 12:32 Mocky: I read an article about eulora being a bitcoin mmo. I'm wondering if it's actually a thing.
mircea_popescu: i'd love nothing more than a bunch of these from logs.bvulpes.com/pizarro !
mircea_popescu: but i'm also sure our funels are slack by that sure and unerring sign, that noobs wander in ~here~. it's 1000% easier to get someone interested in "bicoin mmo" than in terrorist organisation ; and maybe 5000% easier to get them interested in "clean reliable hosting". so if in spite of that immense differential #trilema still beats out #pizarro, it means the pizarro funel works at 0.2% efficiency at the very most. which can't
mircea_popescu: management in the end very much like medicine : if person leaks from the belly upon taking a drink of water, odds are person's belly got an extra hole. if urine is sweet were should be salty, odds are too much sweets somewhere. etcetera.
mircea_popescu: and so, if upon seeing noob in #trilema person thinks "hey, this might've been someone interested in #pizarro", what person is really thinking is "shit, we're doing a terrible job of communicating #pizarro". because in any other case, they should've known ~already~ whether wanderer is or isn't interested.
mircea_popescu: just like average hottie doesn't go "but tell me, have you noticed my tits" for 3rd date conversation -- sure as fuck if you've made it three dates he did notice the tits, yes.
