06:44 mp_en_viaje in other news, i bought a buncha fx amds, 9590s, 9370s, 8370/8350 ; plus their respective a3+ boards, gigabyte, assus, w/e.
06:44 mp_en_viaje eminently these still exist ; and i daresay might be a good idea for all lords to stock up on some.
~ 40 minutes ~
07:25 mp_en_viaje in other lulz, 70-80 MBps ul/dl (via fiber to the door) sets one back ~10 bux/mo in romania.
~ 1 hours 21 minutes ~
08:46 diana_coman mp_en_viaje: bought in ro or what?
08:46 diana_coman re fx amds
08:46 mp_en_viaje yes.
08:47 * diana_coman adds to the list for next trip to ro
08:48 mp_en_viaje definitely.
08:49 mp_en_viaje the only caveat is, cpus come in 140 and 210 watt types, gotta get the adequate boards for each accordingly.
08:49 mp_en_viaje generally the 8000s are 140
08:58 diana_coman come to think of it, this "stock up while they still exist" has such a eulora-flavour to it..

10:05 * asciilifeform prefers the ones where mobo takes ecc sticks, however
10:06 asciilifeform http://btcbase.org/log/2019-05-10#1912287 << hrm, when i was there, billboard promised Gb/s for 9 $ !

10:07 asciilifeform ( ... did that turn into 80Mb/s for 10 when actually try an' buy ? )
10:08 asciilifeform for comparison : asciilifeform pays 100 / mo for 100 (up/down)
10:11 * asciilifeform did go into a comp shop in timis. it had ridiculous prices, and shit iron. mp_en_viaje evidently did not go to that one.
10:12 asciilifeform gypsy flea market had piles and piles of pc iron tho. however, the savages had nfi what it is and how to keep it, dumped it straight into and out of bags with old rusty wrenches, stolen doorknobs, etc. i dun think there was a single straight pin on the cpus.

10:17 mp_en_viaje diana_coman, quite so.
10:18 mp_en_viaje asciilifeform, well, this is actually measured. the item is called "1000" bla bla. what can i tell you.
10:19 asciilifeform unusually, asciilifeform's local telco actually delivers the paid-for bw.
10:19 BingoBoingo In other news apparently Deloitte surveyed the local kiosko owners https://ecos.la/9/actualidad/2019/05/09/33176/proximo-gobierno-hara-ajuste-fiscal-segun-90-de-ejecutivos-y-gerentes/
10:20 mp_en_viaje i don't think a romanian anything ever delivered what was advertised. like, ever.
10:20 mp_en_viaje the government doesn't, nor ever did, either.
10:20 asciilifeform not often in usa either, lol
10:20 * mp_en_viaje is full up on "so and so tax was forever banned with terrible curse. in 1806. in 1814, ruler paid patriarch in constantinople to raise curse, reinstated tax"
10:21 * BingoBoingo discovered there is one registered chlorine producer in Uruguay. Sells to the water utility at 2000 USD/ton. Exports to Brazil 66 USD/ton.
10:21 asciilifeform hey, asciilifeform's 100 bux includes, e.g., a coupla bux of tax imposed during... spanish-amer war
10:21 asciilifeform on the telephones of the period.
10:22 asciilifeform ( no tax is ever cancelled in ameristan )
10:23 asciilifeform BingoBoingo: lol!! and util cannot import back from br for 'reasons' eh
10:24 BingoBoingo asciilifeform: Nominal reason is that the plant still exists and would Brasil even bother shipping chlorine to Uruguay (Can't risk Industria Argentina lowballing the bid).
10:24 asciilifeform mp_en_viaje: sounds like you built a new base in ro ? ( or didja get that 80Mb/s into a hotel! it did not occur to asciilifeform to try this.. )
10:25 mp_en_viaje new base.
10:25 asciilifeform neato
10:26 mp_en_viaje BingoBoingo, possible different grades tho.
10:26 BingoBoingo mp_en_viaje: Very possible
10:27 spyked asciilifeform, I am currently downloading (from house mogosanu into slave galley in bucharest) w cca 50MB/s, where the B stands for octets. so defo works as advertised where I am
10:27 asciilifeform spyked: there's the matter of consistency also. isp overselling bw is pestilentially common.
10:27 mp_en_viaje i don't follow the logic ? 50 is not 1000 ?
10:28 asciilifeform mp_en_viaje: it'd be 400. ( typically bw advertised in 'megabit', so mB * 8 )
10:29 spyked yep. it's 1000 download/400 upload (tho in truth, I never managed to fill the gigabit download pipe; whether it's my equipment or some issue with the isp infrastructure, no idea)
10:30 mp_en_viaje spyked, so if you get 50 Mbps (and I get 70-80, no argument), how is this 1Gbps ?
10:30 mp_en_viaje aanayways, i shall bbl!
10:32 asciilifeform aah so mp_en_viaje measured 70-80 mB (not mb) ? then pretty great
10:32 asciilifeform (i.e. that'd be 500-600 mb/s )
10:33 * asciilifeform also bbl, teatime.
10:36 spyked asciilifeform, they advertise gigabit, but home connections don't "guarantee" that, i.e. it may go to 900 Mbps on a good day. to answer mp_en_viaje's question: the 100 difference (or 1000 - 600 = 400) may be other home users sharing the pipe, QoS policies, peering or simply natbox not being able to process (typically, the home media converter/router they provide is shit)
10:37 spyked so the 1000 is just marketing, no argument there.
~ 35 minutes ~
11:12 asciilifeform spyked: aah so it's one of ~those~ , 'x mb/s if neighbours are asleep'
11:12 asciilifeform most of what's offered in usa, is like this.
11:25 BingoBoingo Well, less people in the US leaving their local isp hubs now
~ 4 hours 18 minutes ~
15:43 mp_en_viaje asciilifeform, yes, mega bytes

19:38 mp_en_viaje meanwhile in poetry appreciation, "E Roma-n flacari, în lacrimi si-n macel, caci Cezarul o stie mai rea si decât el ; e vinu-n cupe de-aur si sângele pe scara, desfrâu de vin-nauntru, desfrâu de sânge-afara... Dar astfel precum este: bizar si criminal, Neron e încercarea de-a fi original.
19:38 mp_en_viaje "
19:40 mp_en_viaje approx, "rome's in flames, in tears and in slaughter, for the Caesar knows it worse than even he himself ; the wine in golden goblet and blood upon the stairs, debauchery of wine within, debauched blood without... but such as it is, bizarre and criminal, Nero's the attempt at being original."
19:52 asciilifeform eminescu ?
19:53 asciilifeform BingoBoingo: i would have said 'god's gift to piz' -- but seems like 100% of the afflicted idjits haven't half the brain of a fucking toad
19:54 asciilifeform and will simply go to another usg.hoster
19:54 asciilifeform BingoBoingo: see if you can find what remains of the subj d00d, write to'im.
19:55 asciilifeform ( iirc at one time he linked to my www... why, i never found out )
19:55 BingoBoingo asciilifeform: Banging my head into this wall for the next few hours
19:56 BingoBoingo "You set up a decent website? Better make sure its in a foreign land and one which isn't subject to US/EU powers. Better avoid using major payment processors because they will shut you down whilst you're at it." << Fuck You I'm already in Uruguay
19:57 asciilifeform BingoBoingo: try an' make it clear, 'no payment processors' etc
19:58 * asciilifeform goes back to own head bang wall, which is slowly yielding
19:58 mp_en_viaje asciilifeform, nah, fellow macedonski
19:59 asciilifeform 'кто сказал что бесполезно / биться головой о стену? / хлоп на лоб глаза полезли / лоб становится кременным' (tm)(r)
19:59 mp_en_viaje and re the brains of toad : various dorks explained to me why "tjhey don't recommend amd".
19:59 asciilifeform ahahahaha
19:59 asciilifeform the ones selling the irons?!!
19:59 mp_en_viaje fucking mortidifame, romanian rottinculo, "don't recommend". can even lead to bsod!!!
20:00 mp_en_viaje well, not to me, but yes.
20:00 mp_en_viaje it's not like intel's paying them a drilled penny. but there they sit, true orcs, doing it for free.
20:00 asciilifeform let'em think they are being rid of junk. wouldja argue with an idjit who is selling rembrandt as wallpaper.
20:01 mp_en_viaje not like they had it.
20:01 mp_en_viaje just talkin' in general.
20:01 * asciilifeform still 'bites elbows' re having missed the period when lispm were being pawned off 'for gold reclamation', for pennies
20:02 mp_en_viaje always born too late too soon, eh.
20:04 mp_en_viaje asciilifeform, anyway, re "the subject dood" : http://trilema.com/2018/in-which-a-bizarre-character-wanks-it/
20:04 asciilifeform aa!
20:04 mp_en_viaje they got issues, you understand, the various "liberated" esltards are typically single-issue rebels, they like socialism in general except for ONE THING
20:04 asciilifeform iirc mp_en_viaje had another piece, where 'went to dentist? why then fight with the anaesthesiologist' etc
20:05 mp_en_viaje be that one thing whatever it may be, substantial discussion doesn't usually get too far, because all the other things they not merely tolerate, but rather, very deeply believe in.
20:05 mp_en_viaje asciilifeform, quite so.
20:07 mp_en_viaje recall the anally loosened jew who was very much against the anally loosening regime "in general" except for the part where "media companies", that part is great ?
20:07 asciilifeform there's a mass of these, i dun recall a particular
20:08 asciilifeform it's somewhat like tryin' to recall a particular cockroach
20:08 mp_en_viaje it's very much the case, that one wants to fuck 16yos, this one wants to collect guns (he sure as fuck won't use), that other one doesn't like ids this other one doesn't like intel, but in the end, out of a hundred issues each of a hundred "rebels" likes 99 just fine.
20:08 mp_en_viaje not merely likes, but A would reconstruct.
20:09 mp_en_viaje AAA+++ would reconstruct*.
20:10 asciilifeform !#s spittoon
20:10 a111 80 results for "spittoon", http://btcbase.org/log-search?q=spittoon
20:10 mp_en_viaje very amusing application of the divide and conquer theory (or, from the converse perspective, obviously enough the rock bottom of all stupidity will appeal to most idiots)
20:10 asciilifeform ^ see also.
20:10 mp_en_viaje aha, from the yet other polar opposite, quite exactly.
20:11 asciilifeform 'just one gulp'
20:11 * asciilifeform brb:meat
20:12 mp_en_viaje and then, of course, gotta count the amusongly strong effects of brainwashing, and carefully curated childhood automatisms. girl who was cutting school to bdsm as a 16yo still has a[n inexplicable] impulse of protest when "underage" sexuality's involved.
20:12 mp_en_viaje makes no sense whatsoever upon the slightest examination, but the impulse's there, because social conditioning's a thing.
20:13 BingoBoingo <mp_en_viaje> asciilifeform, anyway, re "the subject dood" : http://trilema.com/2018/in-which-a-bizarre-character-wanks-it/ << Nah, this other one http://trilema.com/2013/apparently-im-not-the-only-one-pointing-out-the-obvious/
20:13 mp_en_viaje (which, to come round circle, explains what the unpaid orc tards are doing. they're "the voice of their people").
20:18 mp_en_viaje BingoBoingo, oh, is this the collective thingee, mirror of "motley money" or that law blog with "a community" whichever it was ?
20:19 BingoBoingo Hard to tell if bonafide collective or guy pretending to be collective
20:19 BingoBoingo But deathly allergic to name using
20:21 mp_en_viaje o btw, uber ipo'd, utterly failed the groupon mark.
20:22 mp_en_viaje BingoBoingo, entirely possible it's the side project of one of the foregoing. "covering all bases", typical approach for ambitious pencilneck in law, finance, etc.
20:23 mp_en_viaje http://volokh.com/ << keks.

21:29 mp_en_viaje it's many things. in orclands, it's a dating service
21:30 asciilifeform ( 'legal' themed pantsuitism )
21:30 mp_en_viaje orc cuntlet's ur-dream, this, "what if there were an app on my phone that could send over young boys with cars"
21:30 asciilifeform mp_en_viaje: over here, 100% of uberists are old african emigre doods
21:30 asciilifeform nigeria etc
21:30 mp_en_viaje the boys are wise to it, too. which is why every kid with daddy's money bmw has the app installed. it's like tinder for the orcs.
21:30 mp_en_viaje leaving the older people with the medallions wondering wtf.
21:31 mp_en_viaje asciilifeform, this is after all what pantsuitism is all about, the minimal bar of success in the empire -- being different things for different people.
21:31 * asciilifeform tried it a coupla times for lulz, but has limited patience for 'nao walk 3km east to find the cab' 'oops it moved'
21:32 mp_en_viaje i would estimate about one third of uber trips in romania result in a date.
21:33 mp_en_viaje same in costa rica, and i expect same everywhere in orclands.
21:33 asciilifeform i.e. 'this fella has a working auto, he must be worth sumthing' ?
21:33 asciilifeform lol
21:33 mp_en_viaje yuppers.
21:33 asciilifeform i suppose in orcistans they dun sell'em the merc on credit, so perhaps 'works'
21:34 mp_en_viaje consider the orc cuntlet's perpsective. she's precious, wen to school, is dental hygienist or w/e. vehehehery preoccupied of bodily integrity and other "single daugther of two parents +4 grandparents" aging society issues
21:34 asciilifeform it's hilarious, take just 1 ride on the thing and then week later snailmail spamola re 'dontcha wanna buy a new merc at 5% + penalties' etc
21:35 mp_en_viaje what's she to do ? she can't take the strip clubs in turns like my whores. she doesn't really want to go clubbing, it's too loud and stupid, not to mention ~dead.
21:35 mp_en_viaje where's she to run into cock ?
21:35 asciilifeform y'mean moneyed cock?
21:35 mp_en_viaje they work in segregated environs, jobs chicks do chicks do alone.
21:36 asciilifeform nowhere, why does 'horseface' think she earns a moneyed cock.
21:36 mp_en_viaje well, not strictly speaking moneyed, but active.
21:36 mp_en_viaje as opposed to you know, dead in the water.
21:36 mp_en_viaje motile sperm doods.

21:37 asciilifeform if they broke it, their own problem neh.
21:37 mp_en_viaje well, now there's an app.
21:37 mp_en_viaje but yes, the societal cohesion that produced the cunt marketplace you describe meanwhile collapsed.
21:37 asciilifeform there's prolly 'app' that will promise to remove warts also for them.
21:38 mp_en_viaje new cunt marketplace is pretty much uber, fetlife and being very sad.
21:38 asciilifeform iirc there were special-purpose ones that e.g. BingoBoingo used, to some effect
21:38 asciilifeform but i confess, dun follow subj actively in realtime
21:38 BingoBoingo <mp_en_viaje> the boys are wise to it, too. which is why every kid with daddy's money bmw has the app installed. it's like tinder for the orcs. << Here the kids get the Uber cars on some sort of ruinous credit. Run 5 or six other ride apps at the same time.
21:39 mp_en_viaje it's much more interesting political topic than anything found in the "media".
21:39 mp_en_viaje politics is at the root and core the os of the cunt marketplace.
21:40 asciilifeform BingoBoingo: on my last 'uberism' there was 'last straw that broke the camel', was a screen bolted to the seats showing ad liquishit ~with sound effects!~, ding! ding! , could not be switched off
21:40 mp_en_viaje ahahahaha
21:40 asciilifeform and not even supplied by 'uber' , was own thing
21:40 BingoBoingo lol
21:40 asciilifeform driver swore 'need it to make ends meet'
21:40 * mp_en_viaje personally sunk the idiotic "entrepreneurial idea" trying that in tm as one of his last measures leaving.
21:40 asciilifeform i then swore off the lulzscamcab thing for good
21:40 mp_en_viaje fucktards.
21:40 asciilifeform draped coat over it. but what if had no coat!
21:41 mp_en_viaje these even had power off button, but wtf am i, stupid ? i understand "versioning".
21:41 BingoBoingo Here they are failing in the food delivery market. The entrenched local-ish PedidosYa still has that.
21:41 asciilifeform wonder of wonders, the power button did 0
21:41 asciilifeform nor unplugging, it had battery thing
21:41 mp_en_viaje you must've had the v2.0
21:41 asciilifeform well 'thought out', in a sense.
21:41 asciilifeform ding! ding! play spamcasino!!111
21:41 asciilifeform spin the goat!
21:42 asciilifeform i wish i were making this up.
21:42 mp_en_viaje well, one idea is to accidentally break it.
21:42 mp_en_viaje not worth much money, this idea -- by now the screens are so fucking cheap...
21:43 asciilifeform was pretty solid, would have needed axe, i suspect
21:43 asciilifeform i wish could even buy lcd like this for lappy.
21:43 mp_en_viaje carry axe with coat just in case!
21:43 asciilifeform the axe left in trunk of normal auto , lol
21:43 asciilifeform hence why was even in a cab
21:44 mp_en_viaje start making the gals push kiddy carriage, no kiddy in it, just arsenal of tools and weapons.
21:44 asciilifeform ( it is rather impractical to take normal auto to washington, to park it there costs such that it is cheaper to go to town in limousine and back )
21:45 mp_en_viaje speaking of http://btcbase.org/log/2019-05-11#1912400 i swear nothing is more satisfying than breaking something stupid with own hands/.
