Well that might be my record on weekly review length, if not timeliness. Now if I can work that ratchet in the other direction... |

BingoBoingo_: got it, will have a look later today, thank you. |

jfw: here's for you to change direction then, courtesy of Kafka himself. |

jfw and dorion_road you should both have quite a few passes of tech and governance ; not in a hurry nor all of the passes crammed "this week" but gradually until it sticks. |

http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/ossasepia/2019-11-25#1011334 << Thank you, I'll add it to my weekly reading and make the French passages part of my French practice until it sticks. |

diana_coman |
dorion_road: heh, that's from Pascal there. |
17:01 |
diana_coman |
can't go wrong using Pascal for French practice, for sure. |
17:02 |
dorion_road |
diana_coman nice. I'm getting caught up in #t. |
| |
~ 1 hours 26 minutes ~ |

BingoBoingo |
diana_coman: Your server is in Fedex's hands. Will GPGgram you the tracking number in a bit. With a bit more than 12 feet of bubblewrap the package came to an even 15kg on the scale. |
18:29 |
diana_coman |
BingoBoingo: thank you. |
18:32 |
diana_coman |
that will be interesting to ferry from the not-so-royal post office if it ends up in that middle of nowhere, huh. |
18:34 |
diana_coman |
BingoBoingo: invoice me at your earliest convenience please. |
18:34 |
BingoBoingo |
diana_coman: I rolled it a bit more than 1 km to the fedex office on a hand truck. It was a bit sweaty, but with the padding I'm not concerned about it getting any bumps |
18:34 |
diana_coman |
ah, no worries re that; I was simply picturing myself having to handle the thing, lol; I'll have to draft in a helper. |
18:35 |
BingoBoingo |
diana_coman: Will do. Going to get part of jurov's into the mail and should fire all invoices this evening. |
18:36 |
BingoBoingo |
diana_coman: The dimensions make it a bit awkward, but if you can still lift the child, a couple maneuvers to put the server somewhere are probably doable. The box and bubble wrap make it much easier to grip. |
18:38 |
diana_coman |
yeah, child is more like 22kg and still fine, lolz. |
18:38 |
diana_coman |
no worries really. |
18:39 |
asciilifeform |
diana_coman: didja buy rails ? if not , vendor's 'CSE-PT52L' kit -- fits. i've found that e.g. 'dell' rails do not fit 'supermicro' boxen. |
18:39 |
diana_coman |
asciilifeform: first I'll have to study this inside out with a cat's curiosity because yes. |
18:39 |
diana_coman |
but there will be rails at some point too, so thank you for the pointer. |
18:40 |
BingoBoingo |
asciilifeform diana_coman: I managed to break down the rails and make them fit. |
18:40 |
asciilifeform |
aa, so nm. |
18:40 |
diana_coman |
oh, thank you BingoBoingo |
18:41 |
BingoBoingo |
asciilifeform: I can't recommend Dell rails for anything. The spring loaded locking mechanism they use is way too finicky to choose with any other options at all available. |
18:42 |
asciilifeform |
BingoBoingo: like complete idiot, i bought, coupla months ago, 100kg of rails. then only later found, they were 'dell' garbage, fits only ~their~ machines. |

asciilifeform put this here cuz iirc diana_coman & students making racks, so perhaps can learn from asciilifeform's mistake. apol. for spam if uninteresting . |
18:44 |
diana_coman |
asciilifeform: ah, don't take it that way please; no spam at all and thank you. |
18:44 |
diana_coman |
and yes, it is interesting. |
18:44 |
BingoBoingo |
asciilifeform: How they fit the Dell Machines is also a pain. It took some reps to get the knack for taking supermicro railed machines in and out of the rack, but once the thumbwork for that clicks in the muscle memory it's a reliable system. |
18:45 |
asciilifeform |
diana_coman: if you end up wanting own rk cluster, may also find this helpful. (i did promise photos/recipe.) |

snsabot |
(asciilifeform) 2019-11-17 asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: you may find interesting the new rk system , mounted last night. |
18:46 |
asciilifeform |
the shelf in photo is a 'Rising Electronics Fixed Rack Server Shelf 1U', the rails -- aluminum standard DIN rails; rivets & screws -- M3 . |
18:47 |
diana_coman |
I saw the shiny new RK photo too, looked very cool; tbh my reserve re RK is re ARM ie why do I need ARM given that it's also not exactly free (eg GNAT still no-worky) |
18:47 |
asciilifeform |
this is entirely tru, diana_coman , afaik no one yet found a pill for that gnat bug on arm64. |
18:48 |
asciilifeform |
until found, they're only good for 'lamp' & similar. |
18:51 |
asciilifeform |
( for thread-completeness -- the dc power supply is this chinese item, 'Mixilin 2019 60 port'. ~100 $. there are many vendors making similar. ) |
18:57 |
asciilifeform |
^ ps of course dun come w/ a din clamp, but it does come apart and then bottom drilled & riveted to clamp. sits as if glued, and good thermal conduct. |

diana_coman: attempting a rough translation of the kafka: |

"Ach", said the mouse, "the world narrows with every day. First it was so wide that I was afraid; I ran further and was lucky to finally see right and left to the far walls; but these long walls are rushing so fast to join together, that I'm already in the last room, and there in the corner stands the trap I'm running into." / "You need only alter your direction of running", said the cat, and ate |
20:34 |
jfw |
her. |
20:35 |
dorion_road |
thanks for the update in #t jfw. My 21:30 meeting was moved up, headed afk for a couple hours now. |
20:35 |
jfw |
alright good luck. Working on reply to wallet comments too. |
20:35 |
dorion_road |
cool. |
20:36 |
jfw |
dorion_road: want to tackle the French for me? :) |

~ 41 minutes ~ |
21:17 |
diana_coman |
jfw: translation works! |
21:21 |
diana_coman |
"and was lucky" -> "and was happy" |
21:22 |
diana_coman |
glucklich is a false cognate there, not lucky. |
21:23 |
jfw |
huh. I left it as a proper comment too btw. |
21:23 |
diana_coman |
comment published |
21:25 |
diana_coman |
ach would be oh maybe? or if you go for full feeling there perhaps alas! |
21:29 |
jfw |
could work. With glucklich I wasn't going entirely by cognate, looks like it can be 'fortunate', and there's 'frohlich' for happy; I do see 'happy' fitting better in the sentence though. |
21:30 |
jfw |
Using dict.cc , don't have a proper all-DE dictionary handy. |
21:30 |
diana_coman |
do you speak German? |
21:31 |
jfw |
Nicht sehr gut aber ich studierte in der Schule. |
21:31 |
diana_coman |
pas mal. |
21:33 |
jfw |
aber le francais nein. |
21:34 |
diana_coman |
any other languages? |
21:35 |
jfw |
besides the spanish nothing serious |
21:37 |
diana_coman |
eh, doesn't need to be "serious", what. |
21:43 |
jfw |
heh, well then, there was some Esperanto (lolz) a while back; then I did some basic level audio courses in a couple: Cantonese (before I decided on Panama), Hungarian (part of the family came from there), an' Romanian (because Trilema) |
21:44 |
jfw |
Also studied Greek and Cyrillic script / pronunciation. |
21:45 |
diana_coman |
so can you read those? |
21:45 |
jfw |
sound out, kinda; not understand. |
21:46 |
diana_coman |
anyways, after the first 10 languages or so, it gets very easy :)) |
21:46 |
diana_coman |
but I gather it's you I should throw the Ro-blocks of text at, notes. |
21:47 |
jfw |
heh, I'd give 'em a shot. |
21:47 |

diana_coman now looks wtf is wrong with that old comment that is out of place in there. |
| |
~ 37 minutes ~ |
22:25 |
diana_coman |
jfw: yes, you should publish that Gales & docs too (I heard you have very good docs, yay!). |
22:30 |
jfw |
Will do diana_coman, and we'll see how the docs measure up. |

diana_coman: EOD / midday report. 6.5 hour of saltmines complete, i have to go drop off the car right now which is going to take me a little over 2 hours, when I get back I will do 2 hours of work related to ordering parts. |
23:08 |
diana_coman |
whaack: ok. |
23:15 |
whaack |
diana_coman: Of course 5 seconds after I send that message surfpal messages saying he will meet me much closer. I now have 1 hour before I have to leave for about 1 hour. I will get started on ordering parts. |
23:15 |
diana_coman |
that surfpal of yours is expert at wasting your time really. |
23:16 |
whaack |
diana_coman: Well I don't deny that but I was still grateful to have this change of plans. |

at least so far it seems it might work for the best, yes. |

sounds ok re usual basic characteristics but monitors are a matter of personal preference & use really. |
