00:43 trinque esthlos: I want to comment on your post, but cannot.
00:44 trinque dunno why you're printing what ought to be returned as a datastructure.
00:46 * trinque will read more closely and try it out after a sleep, but that's the first thing that jumped out.
00:48 trinque and sure, if there's a command line interface to the thing, it ought to call your sane API for V operations and wrap it in all the printing and parsing.
00:51 mircea_popescu there really should be no printing as such in anywhere.
00:51 mircea_popescu ad-hoc low effort gui-ing is no match for the almighty |

17:23 diana_coman mircea_popescu, how many fg-s was the s.mg server with pizarro meant to have?
17:24 diana_coman atm it seems there are none connected so trying to track down the conversations on this
17:24 diana_coman ben_vulpes, ^
17:24 mircea_popescu diana_coman you recall, feb discussion. http://btcbase.org/log/2018-02-24#1785926 / http://btcbase.org/log/2018-02-26#1786309
17:24 a111 Logged on 2018-02-24 18:28 mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes consider it sold ; where do i pay ? send diana teh login details.
17:24 a111 Logged on 2018-02-26 17:38 mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes now getting back to this deal of ours. 0.345773172 for a year of box as detailed ( http://btcbase.org/log/2018-02-24#1785941 ) + 0.014 for one month of rack + ??? for a pair fgs
17:24 ben_vulpes yeah i found it, thanks
17:25 mircea_popescu what do you mean none connected ?
17:26 ben_vulpes i didn't bring the machine up with the FGs out of oversight. BingoBoingo is walking downstairs to install them now.
17:26 mircea_popescu oh for crying out loud.
17:27 mircea_popescu so instead of buying the originally discussed sealed box http://btcbase.org/log/2018-03-05#1786922 and all that, what i get is ad-hoc aglomeration of parts. some of which were even out of custody for a weekend ?
17:27 a111 Logged on 2018-03-05 05:41 mircea_popescu: well, this is a fundamental, at least to me, service pizarro is offering, GENUINE raid. ie, raid installed by republican hands out of genuine components etc.
17:27 mircea_popescu talk about degradation wtf.
17:30 ben_vulpes i could have called this out more explicitly, sorry. i unpacked nearly everything but the ram from the machines on the way to installation.
17:30 mircea_popescu why ?
17:31 mircea_popescu i mean i get it, you had a pile of lose fgs. but you didn't even box up the one box you had pretty much pre-sold ? why not ?
17:32 ben_vulpes chasing grams; final weigh-in was 99 lbs.
17:33 mircea_popescu so what the fuck am i going to do now ?
17:33 mircea_popescu i dunno, maybe it's not apparent, let's reiterate. minigame is a multi-million dollar corp, trusted by people with multi-million dollars worth of virtual equipment. you understand me ? when it says 8k btc equity that means more money than dimon got.
17:33 mircea_popescu what am i to say to these people ?!
17:41 mircea_popescu BingoBoingo so what's the situation there, it's like... a box, screw-on lid ?
17:41 * mircea_popescu is absolutely nonplussed no pics have been forthcoming.
17:41 mircea_popescu you lot against advertising or something ? what's the logic ?
17:42 mircea_popescu asciilifeform i figure now i'm gonna have to test these things again or what. what'd you say is nsa standard for fg tests minigame'd have to do for nsa to certify its fg installation as satisfactory ?
~ 1 hours 44 minutes ~
19:26 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: Official test algo is in the manual
19:27 mircea_popescu aite.
19:27 asciilifeform ( printed copy each buyer owns; and cached , linked from my www )
19:27 mircea_popescu diana_coman plox ^ after items live
19:29 asciilifeform if diddled fw is a concern, they gotta be re-fw'd, by hand, via the fw-filling connector
19:29 asciilifeform ( deliberately not doable from the comp , the serial port is a 1way thing, recall )
19:31 asciilifeform ben_vulpes: they weigh, what, 40 grams. really, to save mass, removed?! bah
19:31 mircea_popescu as it stands i dun really know what's a concern
19:32 mircea_popescu which is exactly what i'm trying to avoid. but anyways.
19:32 asciilifeform this is depressing
19:32 asciilifeform BingoBoingo: couldja post a photo of the fg crate and contents ?
19:34 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: i'ma take the magic wand along to BingoBoingostan and recertify the whole fg stockpile with own hands.
19:35 mircea_popescu is there some way to find out if they were diddled first ? if we're paying a coupla grand for usg to diddle our fgs, might as well get a blog post out of it.
19:35 asciilifeform can't think of how else.
19:35 mircea_popescu i just meant, find out before reflashing.
19:35 asciilifeform there is a way, but needs a jtagtron.
19:36 asciilifeform right, same simple hand tool to read as to write.
19:36 asciilifeform but afaik there isnt one on the spacestation quite yet,
19:36 mircea_popescu aite then. snatch lulz from the jaws of sads or how was it.
19:36 * asciilifeform adds this potential lulzfest to the agenda.
19:39 BingoBoingo mircea_popescu: I just sent Ben_Vulpes a bunch of pics for his blogging. It is a 1U supermicro. Drive are in 4 front mount hot-swap trays. The cover on the case has two spring type latches that release when depressed and the cover comes off.
19:40 BingoBoingo asciilifeform: Will do
19:45 BingoBoingo asciilifeform: Bag when initially opened http://www.thedrinkingrecord.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/P1000322-768x576.jpg and the FUCKGOATS http://www.thedrinkingrecord.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/P1000327-768x576.jpg
19:46 asciilifeform umm
19:46 asciilifeform is that an official molestation mark tape ?!
19:46 asciilifeform cuz i packed no such thing in'ere
19:47 mircea_popescu repackaged ?
19:47 asciilifeform apparently
19:47 asciilifeform at least some of it , was
19:47 mircea_popescu well honestly i didn't expect they didn't LOOK at them
19:47 asciilifeform i used ordinary cellophane tape, clear.
19:47 asciilifeform fwiw
19:48 asciilifeform this is not proof of heavypetting, tru
19:56 BingoBoingo <mircea_popescu> repackaged ? Two were removed from bubble wrap. One of those two had its anti-static bag opened.
19:59 mircea_popescu aha.
20:00 BingoBoingo Kinda surprised they weren't all opened by bored customs folk
20:03 mircea_popescu in other sads, this month so far trilema burned more bw than in jan+feb combined.
20:03 mircea_popescu apparently writing porny stories is expensive
