13:06 asciilifeform and mighty fine bandwidth
13:07 asciilifeform and mighty fine nearly everything, now that i think about it.
13:07 diana_coman hm, so ..what's *wrong* with it?
13:08 asciilifeform really, nuffin wrong with it, at least not to asciilifeform's naked eye. i'd move immediately if i could.

13:34 phf riddles come with clues, here we're just guessing. http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-23#1727897 << i'll add bidet in hotels to this (which are mostly missing even in european hotels)
13:34 a111 Logged on 2017-10-23 16:54 diana_coman: to recap clues as I see them: orcistan -> poor/undeveloped country; roofless palaces -> warm(ish); abandoned trainstations -> former colony/it was once something; good food + "you'll love Odessa" -> southern style; not enough language-fu -> !USSR; asciilifeform has "things that need to be done there" -> ????? basically this last one is a killer;
13:35 phf actually, not even that, i'm not sure where i got the bidet from :o
13:35 asciilifeform no no it was mentioned
13:35 phf oh, right, same thread as http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-22#1727633
13:35 a111 Logged on 2017-10-22 10:24 asciilifeform: omfg hotel has a SHOEHORN
13:36 phf asciilifeform: it's not a fun game, because there's not any kind of hook to go buy. "great coffee and beautiful women" is not it
↖
13:38 phf but i'll guess it's either spain or croatia
13:38 mircea_popescu http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-23#1727899 << turkey is not poor in any sense.
13:38 a111 Logged on 2017-10-23 16:56 asciilifeform: not so poor
13:39 phf i suspect in turkey it would've been "they have bidet in public toilets!"
13:39 mircea_popescu in fact if taken to mission district and sultanahmed, civillian would wrongly decide which is "the capital of the technology world of the future"
13:40 mircea_popescu phf hahaha no such thing. throughout arab world, most of turkey included, the standard toilet includes a water spit pipe ~where the watertrap is. with special fauced accessible whiole seated.
13:40 phf come to think of me both of my guesses are poorer than turkey
13:40 mircea_popescu aha. to reiterate, must visit istanbul, at the very least a weekend, take girl across horn to see the train station the romanians bombed, kebab etc.
13:41 asciilifeform nao if only they let folx with u.s. pasports in'ere
13:41 phf mircea_popescu: i was thinking of those small plastic bottles they leave even when proper water system is not accessible.
13:41 asciilifeform ( tr recently banned folx from usa )
13:41 mircea_popescu AND throughout the egypt that i've seen, they to this day have clay pots with water in the shade every quarter mile or so on the road. notwithstanding that yes you can buy bottled water and did i share that pic of the desert dhl ?
↖
13:42 phf asciilifeform: my guess wasn't evaluated!
13:43 asciilifeform negative on both, phf
13:43 mircea_popescu http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-23#1727901 << me too, considering who they're dealing with. but i guess they dunno how to factor the alf into all of it.
13:43 a111 Logged on 2017-10-23 17:00 asciilifeform: and i'ma a little surprised that no one solved riddle yet
13:44 asciilifeform i've found it tricky to drop a clue that's a troo clue but doesn't give puzzler away entirely
13:44 phf that's what makes a riddle a riddle
13:44 asciilifeform it's a fun riddle to folx who possibly know a few things re asciilifeform
13:46 mircea_popescu http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-23#1727920 << seems evident like that, costaricaestonia.

13:51 asciilifeform btw powerful pigeons here, they do their thing in sync, just like on asciilifeform's homeworld, you can hear from across the street
13:51 mircea_popescu or wait, this actually is dick rather.
13:51 mircea_popescu w/e, SAME DIFFERENCE
14:02 diana_coman phf, ahh, bidet, right; tbh that made me instantly think of Italy and it would fit womenz (if south) but I kind of crossed out EU to start with
14:08 asciilifeform curious, diana_coman , why crossed out
14:10 diana_coman asciilifeform, hm, mainly because basically socialist
14:11 asciilifeform here's another clue, ~0 islam

15:38 mircea_popescu diana_coman possibly he took his own women with this time, so isn't stuck depending on pot luck.
15:41 mircea_popescu asciilifeform there's plenty of islam in ro lol. for eg constanta is like 15% sunni.
15:41 mircea_popescu ancient people, too. dobruja muslims are like odessa russians, there before the romanian occupation.
15:41 diana_coman lol; those rubbish bins looked very...Romanian but the "no islam" thing didn't quite fit, hence Hungary seemed more likely
15:42 mircea_popescu heck, temeswar was a raya for centuries. has a mosq and everything.

16:03 mircea_popescu http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-23#1727981 << i guess what everyone means by "islam" these days is salafism bs, much in the manner ustardianism is what "everyone" takes "western civilisation" to mean.
16:03 a111 Logged on 2017-10-23 19:54 asciilifeform: ancient islam a-ok
16:04 mircea_popescu pointedly it does not, "western civilisation" reduces to the habsburg lands centered on vienna, or if one is 1600s versed the paris-florence-venice axis i guess
16:04 asciilifeform asciilifeform wurked for an ancientislam d00d for many yrs
16:05 mircea_popescu anglos never were part of western civilisation in any meaningful sense, and their piracy adventures dun change this.
16:05 asciilifeform hey asciilifeform is not a hapsburg but had the carriage gate!111

18:15 BingoBoingo Eh, looking more like the price of internet isn't being properly levied upon consumers.
~ 39 minutes ~
18:55 mircea_popescu fwiw, trilema serves 1-2 terrabytes each month.
18:55 mircea_popescu !~calc 8*1024 ** 4 / 30 / 24 / 3600
18:55 jhvh1 mircea_popescu: 8*1024 ** 4 / 30 / 24 / 3600 = 3393554.406716049
18:55 mircea_popescu 3.4Mbps sustained.
18:58 mircea_popescu !~calc 12 / 9
18:58 jhvh1 mircea_popescu: 12 / 9 = 1.3333333333333333
18:59 mircea_popescu BingoBoingo so they wanna eat a 3 per mbps at the lowest setting, looks like, and otherwise willing to let you have it for 50 cents if you commit.
19:00 mircea_popescu or am i misunderstanding all this ?
19:02 BingoBoingo Well, I am working on understanding this. Was sorta hoping to get a X per Terabyte figure. Anyways, the billing convention on these terms seems to be outta the month busiest 36 hours are tossed and transfer is averaged.
19:02 mircea_popescu the devil is in the details. "busiest 36 hours ARE SERVED and not billed", or "we will simply cut you from internet 36 hours each month and bill for th erest" ?
19:04 BingoBoingo Served, not figured into the averaging. Hence "95th percentile"
19:04 mircea_popescu not the worst arrangement.
19:08 BingoBoingo Not at all, looking pretty good actually. Even unmetered is only $4.6/mbps which shows transit price is not outta whack, if we had a customer planning to fully saturate connection.
19:10 BingoBoingo Also makes using a U or two on shared hosting service not such a bad proposition.
19:12 BingoBoingo But makes it clear why Netflix tries to plant a cage full of VCRs as clost to every customer as possible.
19:12 mircea_popescu right. i don't recall off hand the phuctor traffic figures, but pretty sure it's not 1mbps sustained over a month ; iirc not even a tenth that. eulora similarily eats in the kbps sustained, and so...
19:12 mircea_popescu !~calc 1024*1024/8*3600*24*30
19:12 jhvh1 mircea_popescu: 1024*1024/8*3600*24*30 = 339738624000
19:13 * BingoBoingo trying to figure what a Bitcoin node sustains over a month.
19:13 mircea_popescu ~340 GB = 1 Mbps sustained for a month. ignoring the 95% thing.
19:13 mircea_popescu BingoBoingo depends on the node, but a non-magistral item maybe 10-50 kbps.
19:15 BingoBoingo Sweet, and having the two 10 Gbps ports is only a $400 portion of the $3840 quote.
19:15 mircea_popescu yeah.
19:17 mircea_popescu anyway, prolly get their lowest thing and expand it when you see enough traffic to justify it.
19:17 mircea_popescu ie when 800 + n * 12 > 1400 + n * 11 and so following.
19:17 * BingoBoingo going to pick up a PCENGINES apu to play with, Ubiqiti has distributors in Brazil, exploring best way to acquire boxes
19:17 mircea_popescu BingoBoingo one doesn't help. you gotta mount eight as per alf's magics, i wouldn't bother.
19:18 mircea_popescu you're not an experimental machine building station. if the item exists commercially you use it ; if not whoever aims to whine is more than welcome to produce it himself.
19:19 BingoBoingo 8 it'll be then
19:20 mircea_popescu ya but iirc you need custom mounts and so on.
19:22 BingoBoingo I'm thinking u1 rackmount formed aluminum sheet with fans on face apu chasis affixed to sheet, unless alf shares his recipe.
19:24 BingoBoingo But yeah. Way to get monster Opteron 6128 boxes onto rack higher priority
