asciilifeform: one interesting hiccup was that when i synced in vanilla "connect to wide net" mode, this new node somehow got stuck and also i think triggered some weirdo crash/wedge on another machine of mine with a raid array of rust that had until that moment been hanging at the tip of the spear, but when run with -connect to the self-same (restarted) node a) the rust caught back up within an hour and b) |

Still, I present "here is an emergency" Let's work through this. In the most charitable interpretation they decide to do what the PUA's call a shit test. In the most likely case an attempt at extortion. I was expecting "This pile costs X in lands with commerce, duties customs etc cost X, and transport costs Y depending on how fast we get it here." |
| 17:55 |
phf |
i'm not sure what the thinking is, but they can't really do anything that you can't do, as far as importing hardware. literally they'll have to do all the same steps + potentially navigating local import specifics |
| 17:56 |
phf |
so there's two points here, one is that you're opening yourself up for extortion commonly known as "valet service" |
| |
↖ |
| 17:57 |
phf |
other point is that since we've never actually tried importing anything into uruguay that "+ local import specifics" might translate into extortion on the border (which, say, was sop in russia in the 90s) |
| 17:59 |
phf |
so the combination of those two points is that it's possible that dc knows about full overhead of import + they charge you for valet. considering that you're a ~random dude~ dropping serious cash on their server rack that is of right now entirely empty, it's safe for them to assume that you have mad american cash burning yer pockets |

you also could for example look at the gestalt of the dynamic process. rack and connectivity is their walk in bread and butter. they probably overcharged you, but not by much, because it was their first interaction with you. meanwhile dynamic process evolves. they are probably sad now that they didn't overcharge you more for rack, compensating on hardware (that's another alternative take on what's going on) |

even if sane chassis were to be found, you can't find weightless power supplies (why exactly the rack provides 220V rather than directly rail is a question for another time ; and why this was't raised as a point at any previous time.) and there's simply no way i can have phf drag 50+ kgs of ~worthless parts across the oceans. |
