a datacenter is a physical item with a fixed physical location. |

if it has doubts as to its physical location, it is an isp not a dc. |

asciilifeform problem is what if you hafta replace item in raid. |
| 21:41 |
mircea_popescu |
i dunno, what's reasonable these days ? 256gb / 1+0 4ssd raid / some intel cpu ? or can you find rackable older amds ? |
| 21:41 |
asciilifeform |
it's expensive, noshit. ( not as painful as if we had a satallite tho!11 ) |
| 21:42 |
asciilifeform |
can even have old amd, but with the expected horsepower hit ( and afaik none were made that ate >256G ) |
| 21:43 |
mircea_popescu |
so then 1, for phuctor, 1tb item ; 1 for special purpose amd, as much as it can carry, and 2 run of the mill, what's to be found at a decent price. |
| 21:43 |
asciilifeform |
but yes it looks like a $2-3k to change a dead hdd.. |
| 21:43 |
mircea_popescu |
that much ? usual cost ~100-150 per hour of tech hands. |
| 21:43 |
asciilifeform |
if i gotta do it with own hands then yes |
| 21:44 |
mircea_popescu |
doesn't take an hour to do this ; but they do have nimimums so. |
| 21:44 |
asciilifeform |
if techs get to do it, then techs get to play with the old disks neh |
| 21:44 |
mircea_popescu |
asciilifeform if you want to do with own hands the correct approach is to seal the box, have redundancy in there, and just switch over, ahve the box mailed to you etc. |
| 21:44 |
asciilifeform |
was my thought aha |
| 21:44 |

build it like for orbit. |

"1+0 4ssd raid" means exactly that. |
| 21:45 |
asciilifeform |
recall the 'bottom of the sea' thread. |
| 21:45 |
mircea_popescu |
BUT what i meant was, have a box of phuctor racked, and an identical box, stored at the dc (they do offer storage), or even also-racked. |
| 21:45 |
mircea_popescu |
if one dies, have them mail it to you, then you mail back. |
| 21:45 |
asciilifeform |
notbad idea |
| 21:45 |
mircea_popescu |
though this seems drastically overkill. |

beats airpl;ane, yes. not even a matter of cost, a matter of time and wear-and-tear of the human capital. |
| 21:46 |
mircea_popescu |
but esp for phuctor, why bother. what are the local techs gonna do with the old hdd, not like it's not all on the web anyway |
| 21:46 |
asciilifeform |
yeah i still can't fathom why they're fixated on pilferage of phuctor hdd |
| 21:47 |

this is very much a work of "it was a rainy night in december, i was having my tonsils basted when i stumbled on a copy of the gosplan blablabla" |

mircea_popescu |
it was comparatively easy to discern bad pravda copy from acceptable ; it is nigh on impossiblew to do same for washington post, nytimes and other fishwrappers, which is why the cloud of successive layers of "discussion" and "disagreement" and "critique" and so following. |
