15:35 asciilifeform jfw: i'ma get the shipping cost estimate for yours tomorrow.
15:35 asciilifeform ( u.s. post is closed on sundays )
15:37 shinohai asciilifeform: Did my comment for ch.1 not succeed? I may have munged that one.
15:37 asciilifeform shinohai: i dun see it in the queue
15:37 shinohai kk, will resubmit here in momentarily.
15:45 shinohai And submitted, looks like it went through this time.
15:46 asciilifeform shinohai: posted, ty.
15:46 asciilifeform shinohai: make sure you're signing the keccak-reground patches, rather than the orig.
15:47 asciilifeform the ones for ch.1 - ch.11 are here.
15:49 * asciilifeform will edit the articles to eliminate this potential confusion.
15:49 shinohai Ah kk indeed looks as if I signed the sha512 ones, thanks will redo.
~ 1 hours 18 minutes ~
17:07 asciilifeform shinohai et al : i've updated ch. 1 - 11 w/ the proper links.
17:08 BingoBoingo jurov: ty
17:13 asciilifeform shinohai: i have plan to bake the item i unsuccessfully tried for 2y to milk outta phf -- hopper where my l1 can drop signatures for patches and have'em eaten. but prolly not happening until after new year, currently hands full (setting up rack people)
17:15 asciilifeform currently just under half the avail. wattage already spoken for. folx who are waiting, if wait long enuff, will find that train is full.
17:23 shinohai ty asciilifeform o7
17:26 asciilifeform BingoBoingo: you may find interesting the new rk system , mounted last night.
17:27 BingoBoingo asciilifeform: That's some nice sheetmetal work. Where do the fans get mounted?
17:27 asciilifeform BingoBoingo: right on the front rail.
17:27 asciilifeform errything on rail.
17:29 asciilifeform BingoBoingo: at some pt i'ma put in a gigantic door fan, free up some rail space.
17:30 asciilifeform BingoBoingo: if yer curious -- the pedestal is steel; nuts riveted on; rails attached to nuts w/ m3 screws.
17:31 asciilifeform upgraded my tooling so that these (and other sheet metal items) can be made quite quickly.
17:36 asciilifeform commercial din rail adapters for 19in rack are 100% vertical, i found, and astonishingly wasteful of space (they hang the rail in parallel w/ the door and protrude only coupla in. of depth into the rack). so instead this.
17:37 asciilifeform this way also very easy to swap fans, ps (there's a gigantic one w/ own fan and 48 usb holes) , and to service indiv. units.
17:37 BingoBoingo Not bad at all. How long do these things take to stamp out in volume in the upgraded shop?
17:38 asciilifeform the pictured item -- ~2h.
17:42 asciilifeform BingoBoingo: i dun expect to make a 2nd one for a while, tho -- ea. one comfortably houses 48 rk.
17:43 BingoBoingo This looks like the sort of thing you could train a nephew or neighborhood kid to assist with if this sort of work lands on your lap in volume.
17:44 asciilifeform BingoBoingo: it visually looks very simple, but in fact tricky -- if you fuck it up, the rails will warp and the carriages won't lock properly
17:46 BingoBoingo asciilifeform: Right, this sort of light metalwork can be much less straightforward that it appears. There's reasons the sheetmetal guys make decent bucks.
17:46 asciilifeform there's no 'seekrit' in this, or anyffin else that i do, but it does require hands that grow from torso, is the point.
17:46 snsabot (trilema) 2019-11-12 diana_coman: at times further fed by the sort of despicable "muh secretz" expert, ugh.
17:48 asciilifeform the pedestal is a standard 90cm one, and the rails are 42cm ea. that's the complete 'sores coad.' nao who wants, can grow some hands, make.
17:53 BingoBoingo Still, if someone in the datacenter sees your rig and wants them for shittier single board computer hosting, wat do? Sure you can share the recipe. Also can build for them at pick your hourly rate. Seems like the sorta thing historically where a 12-20 year old relative would be given the opportunity to locate their hands in the right place.
17:53 asciilifeform BingoBoingo: you'd be astonished at what people keep in those racks.
17:54 asciilifeform i saw last night, for instance, a crapple 'mini', in somebody's.
17:55 BingoBoingo asciilifeform: There's a couple ops that specialize in hosting those. I can only imagine the stuff folks shove into racks when they aren't in a hardware poor environment.
17:55 asciilifeform BingoBoingo: afaik the reason why no one is making these industrially, is that nobody has civilized small servers (why? rk's right there. nfi.) the dc actually offers 'raspberry' hosting, but afaik they just stick'em on shelves. toy.
17:56 asciilifeform BingoBoingo: that's the interesting this, this aint uruguay, so not (theoretically) 'hardware poor'. but folx have all sorts of odd ideas re what belongs in a rack.
17:57 asciilifeform some madman even has what appears to be a cable modem in his (how he got the local tv monopoly to run coax in there? who knows)
17:58 BingoBoingo asciilifeform: historically The Manzana de Mierda has offered a set of server daemons packaged up in glossy front end for the artsy folks shops, with the idea they can do their own IT while keeping their shop's tools all consistently branded
17:58 asciilifeform BingoBoingo: i was let into the scrapyard not long ago. it was full of astonishingly ancient things (e.g. boxen w/ parallel ata, etc)
17:59 asciilifeform i.e. shit you wouldn't host an electric doorbell on
18:01 BingoBoingo Some places here... throw doorbell control et all in their wifi rack so it doesn't look so empty
18:03 asciilifeform waiwat.. at the colo?!
18:03 BingoBoingo asciilifeform: Nah. In the various computer shops, small offices, etc
18:03 asciilifeform aa
18:04 BingoBoingo Remember how the rackmount goods store was full of racks and accessories, but very poor in things to colocate in racks?
18:04 BingoBoingo They do brisk business.
18:04 * asciilifeform recalls
18:05 asciilifeform it was mystery to me, tho, wai they put that shop in the hinterlands and not right next to the country's (apparently) only dc.
18:05 BingoBoingo Plenty of local businesses buy racks without seeing any need to have rackmount servers.
18:06 BingoBoingo asciilifeform: They put in in that particular hinterlands, because it is a very "central" location per popular conceptions of the city.
18:06 asciilifeform ( re dc -- was enjoying hanging out w/ the night shift folx. who also were happy to lend e.g. the torx bit i had left at home, etc , for 0 money )
18:08 asciilifeform BingoBoingo: by what sorta conception is some cobblestone nowhere, 'central', and the 2 only skyscrapers in entire monkeylandia -- aint ?
18:09 asciilifeform maybe in the time of simon bolivar, ~that~ was 'central', lol
18:11 BingoBoingo asciilifeform: Well, barrio Centro is still further to the west, Aguada with a "freezone", and some industry is also to the west. Almost everything government is to the west in Ciudad Vieja, Centro, and Cordon. The concentration of glass in steel in Pocitos and Buceo is a 1990s-present phenomenon.
18:14 asciilifeform BingoBoingo: the 'central' was quite a mindfuck to asciilifeform . i dun think i'd ever previously seen a dead zoo, for instance.
18:14 asciilifeform iirc even in berlin '45 the zoo remained open, right up to the last animal eaten.
18:15 BingoBoingo asciilifeform: The finally started the reconstruction of the zoo a few months ago. I suspect it was sat on like so many other projects to wait for "election year"
18:15 asciilifeform a.
18:15 BingoBoingo "We are doing, please validate us!"
18:16 asciilifeform wai would a zoo be -ev , incidentally ? charge for tickets, like normal people.
18:16 asciilifeform wai does it need mega-payola from the apparat ?
18:17 asciilifeform ( the 1 in washington, is a strange item, doesn't charge, supported by a kinda foundation thing, w/ unclear, to naked eye, proportions of usg vs. endowment income )
18:17 BingoBoingo Apparently they did every day but Wedensdays while open. Animals still inside the closed zoo even. They closed it because animal rightstards demanded the whole thing be redone. So it sat closed to the public, still paying to feed animals, etc.
18:17 BingoBoingo With reconstruction with the aim of opening it up only happening this year.
18:18 asciilifeform a, i thought for some reason there were squatters in the cages instead of interestingly-exhibitable animals nao
18:21 BingoBoingo I did for the longest time as well.
18:21 asciilifeform finally found how to get in ? or how found out ?
18:21 BingoBoingo Dead animals made the news paper. IIrc a hippo.
18:22 asciilifeform phunphakt : maybe half the pavillions in the washington zoo, are empty.
18:22 asciilifeform the animals -- no one will say where.
18:22 asciilifeform this, for many yrs nao.
18:22 asciilifeform when i landed here in '92 was 1 of the 1st places i went, it was quite full then
18:22 BingoBoingo Most of the critters moved to new zoo in an outer barrio. Hippos apparently exeed the capacity of a "Yumbo cargo" three wheeler
18:23 asciilifeform in chicago they still had a jaguar in an indoor enclosure orig. built by barnum. scarcely bigger than what the washington museum has its stuffed one in.
18:24 asciilifeform but he was the only remaining 'unlucky winner', the other specimens were in modern pavillions.
18:24 BingoBoingo Then eventually, soon after then then Intendent of Montevideo quit to do his presidential campaign... Earth movers showed up at the zoo in force
18:24 asciilifeform (there was a sign promising that he'll be moved any day nao, when funding...)
18:25 BingoBoingo Saint Louis Zoo still has original birdcage built for 1904 world's fair.
18:25 BingoBoingo Not in exactly the same location, but they moved the Iron
18:27 asciilifeform hey, 'if worx -- wai fix'
