00:14 asciilifeform billymg: the stock one from 'supermicro'
00:14 asciilifeform see e.g.
~ 17 minutes ~
00:32 billymg asciilifeform: ok thanks. is the idea that server rooms are usually kept cold enough to not warrant any kind of fancy cooler?
00:33 asciilifeform billymg: that is so, but even in typical home at 'room temp' will run. the reason is that the fans have 3-5x engineering margin, they are expected to cool the box even when severely clogged and some have died
00:33 asciilifeform this comes at the cost of 'sounds like shop vac'
00:33 billymg ahh, gotcha
~ 25 minutes ~
00:58 thimbronion billymg: I also went with stock supermicro. I wish I'd bought a couple more 1Us from the same supplier honestly.
01:02 thimbronion https://www.ebay.com/itm/333442066992
01:09 thimbronion billymg: All I did was plug in some ecc ram and a 3ware raid controller.
~ 3 hours 33 minutes ~
04:42 billymg thimbronion: ah, perfect
04:43 billymg for $125 that looks like a great deal
~ 16 hours 53 minutes ~
21:36 thimbronion Implemented title search on alethepedia. Works well, IMO. Content search will work better via a bot, I think.
21:37 thimbronion !ticker xbtusd
21:37 lekythion Kraken XBTUSD: 35485.10000
21:47 billymg thimbronion: nice!
21:48 billymg thimbronion: why would content search work better via bot than www?
~ 1 hours 29 minutes ~
23:17 thimbronion billymg: Actually I don't know. Probably should have said "Title only search actually works, and combining it with content search, which doesn't at the moment, is going to be really hard."
23:18 thimbronion asciilifeform: regarding the idea of having only one chan, I will miss having a separate forum in which to discuss Alethepedia.
23:18 asciilifeform billymg: thimbronion: imho the separateness was rather an illusion
23:19 asciilifeform (and not a particularly useful one )
23:19 snsabot (asciilifeform) 2021-06-17 asciilifeform: ... i'm reminded of an ancient sovok joke, where crew of a plane gets stranded each on separate island, and the american d00d when rescued is found to have built a 'whites' and 'coloureds' mess hall on his etc
23:19 thimbronion there was lots of overlap. idk if you mind me spamming your channel with alethepedia stuff though.
23:19 asciilifeform why'd i mind, lol
23:19 asciilifeform and if we ever absolutely cannot stomach one another, can make separate nets painlessly.
23:19 snsabot (asciilifeform) 2021-06-18 asciilifeform: at no point does anyone have to declare jihad. simply they walk off to separate nets by severing links.
23:20 thimbronion I though somewhat off topic - in my mind #asciilifeform was about trb work.
23:20 asciilifeform thimbronion: naa that was supposed to be #therealbitcoin
23:20 billymg thimbronion: this is what i resolved without mentioning to asciilifeform, that i would simply spam his channel with design/outreach talk until asked to create a new net
23:20 billymg althought, i supposed won't be "his channel" in dulapnet?
23:20 thimbronion ok. cool. will spam away.
23:20 asciilifeform billymg: recall also on usenet, folx simply filtered, w/ eyes & w/ 'killfile', subjs/people they were uninterested in, w/out necessarily having to leave a group
23:21 asciilifeform there's a good bit of talking 'past' one another that folx can do w/out necessarily pissing each other off to the point that they gotta build an impenetrable wall b/w one another.
23:21 billymg asciilifeform: i just missed the usenet days, but this concept makes sense
23:22 thimbronion I purchased Ultima 6 via usenet.
23:22 * asciilifeform nostalgiates
23:22 * asciilifeform played 1-5 on commodore 64, 6,7,7.5,8 on pc..
23:23 thimbronion Only played the one, but was blown away.
23:23 asciilifeform started, funnily, w '4', found boxed (comp. w/ cloth map..) in junk store in '94
23:24 thimbronion Mailed a check for it!
23:25 asciilifeform aha, i bought various on usenet, sight unseen, mailed cashier cheque, bought tape drive, etc
23:25 asciilifeform dumpster-dived irons, and sold..
