00:00 asciilifeform which 5 ?
00:00 mp_en_viaje the confiscated machines. what, is the idea they cc'd the whole thing ?
00:01 asciilifeform is claimed.
00:01 mp_en_viaje not afaik how mirai/any current botnet works.
00:01 asciilifeform and i won't dismiss out of hand, people continue (why? dunno) to make pyramidally-shaped botnets.
00:01 asciilifeform and mno, is how most of'em still work.
00:01 mp_en_viaje maybe "people" who key in stuff they read on cca 2002 edition of slashdot /
00:01 mp_en_viaje most by count or most by what ?
00:01 asciilifeform mno. the current crop.
00:02 mp_en_viaje hm
00:02 asciilifeform mp_en_viaje: by mass.
00:02 mp_en_viaje i have trouble believing/.
00:02 asciilifeform mp_en_viaje: i also had trouble believing, before working as pro exterminator for these in '12-15. (possible that sumthing has changed since, but from what i presently know -- has not.)
00:03 mp_en_viaje but that is a decade ago
00:03 mp_en_viaje im talking 2019, post bitcoin-ransoms, post ddos-for-hire etc.
00:03 mp_en_viaje not 2012 ffas.
00:03 asciilifeform the only step to 'p2p'ism that has become moar common, is the use of 'randomly generated domain using time of day where to look for command' ('dga') but even this not universal.
00:04 mp_en_viaje yup, sha(unixtime(hdmy).salt).org for sure.
00:05 asciilifeform at any rate, for our purposes afaik dun matter what kinda botnet. nor have i a connection to draw from that point to what we've got. so will leave subj alone for nao.
00:06 asciilifeform ( the other connection, naturally, is -- per the snowden dox -- usg never throws away botnet, when finds, but uses always . )
00:07 mp_en_viaje http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-10-07#1941464 << was it snsa owned a machine and smg another one, and renting a 3rd ? i thought we had mostly sold all iron to piz, will have to look through all these.
00:07 ossabot Logged on 2019-10-07 15:44:10 asciilifeform: same i believe goes for smg.
00:07 asciilifeform mp_en_viaje: the primary smg machine is still owned by smg.
00:08 asciilifeform was to be sold, when replacement delivered.
00:08 asciilifeform BB will correct me if i'm wrong on this pt.
00:08 mp_en_viaje none of this needs to take up cycles nao
00:08 mp_en_viaje it's all in the logs, not going anywheres anyway
00:08 asciilifeform aite.
00:09 asciilifeform might make a diff re where to evacuate irons to, when this time comes.
00:09 asciilifeform incidentally, mp_en_viaje , all the irons that asciilifeform personally worked on, have his seals on'em, and these should still be intact.
00:10 mp_en_viaje well, if they're not, we'll sue.
00:10 asciilifeform hm i thought 'suing orcs dunwork'
00:10 mp_en_viaje /sarcasm
00:10 asciilifeform lolk
00:10 * asciilifeform cleans his sarcasm sensor w/ freon can
00:11 mp_en_viaje anyway, i imagine most iron is headed for the local reseller, used hw prolly not worth shipping OUT of orcistan
00:12 asciilifeform mp_en_viaje: i can't speak for others, but anyffing i touch will be hosted on this same type of opteron, and with same raid, and w/ same FG .
00:13 mp_en_viaje ah, so you rather want them back /
00:13 mp_en_viaje ?
00:13 asciilifeform snsa's -- indeed
00:13 mp_en_viaje aite, well, instead of going to deliver boxes, can go to... retrieve. make point of showing to customs, "see ? told you it's for fair!"
00:13 asciilifeform and to smg i'd also recommend to use the same, but is decision not for me but for mp_en_viaje & co, if they'd rather host on intel w/ ipmi and intel rng, is not my biz
00:13 asciilifeform lol
00:14 asciilifeform i expect fedex will get'em out to wherever for 1-2 hundy.
00:14 asciilifeform orc customs is an 'in' problem rather than 'out' afaik.
00:14 mp_en_viaje well muh dear space-admiral & mars mission commandant... it dun seem to be so much a question of what i'd rather. does it.
00:14 asciilifeform mp_en_viaje: we're all still stuck with a different set of 'rathers' .
00:15 asciilifeform for each -- his own.
00:15 mp_en_viaje but i suppose this is not entirely without merit -- diana_coman see next you talk to that guy whether he also colos boxes ?
00:15 asciilifeform he does, or so told asciilifeform (see linked thrd)
00:15 mp_en_viaje i'd say "call him over here", but the problem is i'm traveling, can't keep this always on and watched.
00:15 asciilifeform i was actually preparing a modest box to go there
00:16 asciilifeform fella even offered serial port via temp box, given that i refuse to ipmi
00:16 mp_en_viaje a right. i recall now.
00:16 asciilifeform ( he's got no kvm )
00:16 mp_en_viaje well, why not, can send the smg there then i guess.
00:17 asciilifeform could. 1st must ask BB for favour , to prepare it to talk on serial console if it doesn't already.
00:19 mp_en_viaje anyway, see what diana_coman thinks also. what's your idea re phuctor iron ?
00:20 asciilifeform already said, neh
00:20 asciilifeform i built it out of waht i built it, for a reason, and if disappeared would build again outta same. so yes would like it back.
00:20 asciilifeform and rehomed whenever find to where.
00:20 asciilifeform ea. of these is equipped w/ 2 FG btw.
00:20 asciilifeform internally.
00:21 asciilifeform ( this is also where was the snsa logger . )
00:22 mp_en_viaje that's what i was asking about, rehomed where
00:22 asciilifeform so far the moldavian is looking good.
00:22 asciilifeform certainly compared to our deceased horse.
00:23 * asciilifeform apprehensive about re-creating a piz-style 'target rich envir.' in moldavia, but all of asciilifeform's attemps to find reasonable hosters ended in broken teeth
00:23 mp_en_viaje maybe bb could move to moldavia, take employment with same lolz
00:23 mp_en_viaje "hi mr. we want to colo these boxes and this son"
00:23 asciilifeform lol
00:23 * asciilifeform in fact speaks both of the langs spoken in moldavia...
00:24 asciilifeform it's terra incognita tho, tbf.
00:24 mp_en_viaje diana_coman, come to think about it, see if guy is avail for a conf tomorrow morning say 10 to 11 osterreich time ?
00:25 mp_en_viaje asciilifeform, my first http://trilema.com/2009/nsfw-topless/ was in moldavia.
00:25 asciilifeform neato.
00:26 asciilifeform afaik they've a nicely deadlocked gov, too, with a putin prime minister and a usg parliament.
00:26 * asciilifeform does not know if that pencil balanced on its point is any kind stable state. but last i knew, was such.
00:29 mp_en_viaje nfi, haven't been there in 20+ years
00:29 asciilifeform what we won't have, in moldavia, is obv. (unless he in fact does go there) a BingoBoingo to swap disks, inspect seals, move hoses around in <1hr on request, and such nice things. but what can do.
00:30 mp_en_viaje it was cheap, had nice wine, and idem girls. possibly still.
00:30 asciilifeform if BB becomes new rezident, can enjoy the gurlz (tho prolly oughta leave the wines)
00:31 mp_en_viaje when i landed in chisinev, mid 90s, it had just came out as law or somesuch apparently that all cunts must wear miniskirts with pantyhose. dedicated sellers of pantyhose on all street corners and not a single warm blooded xx humanoid in any other garb.
00:34 asciilifeform mp_en_viaje: so, let's put on record properly, evacuation officially on ? BingoBoingo to send word to latech to stop charging for pipe, they've breached contract ? or are we to hold out for some unlikely concession
00:34 mp_en_viaje i thought consensus among you two was that pipe's not coming back on. he said "nobody there can turn it back on" and you said "even if they did, i wouldn't trust it"
00:34 mp_en_viaje this not so ?
00:35 asciilifeform it ~could~ come back on. but this won't fix structural problem imho. ~might~ give time to negotiate a straight-from-antel, in theory.
00:35 asciilifeform supposing subscribers not already set bozo bit .
00:36 mp_en_viaje allow me to quote chapter and verse then. as to 1 : http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-10-07#1941443 ; as to 2 : http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-10-07#1941440
00:36 ossabot Logged on 2019-10-07 15:31:05 BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: At this point, based on the previous conversation, there seems to be in no person at Latecho or Dedicado who can get us pipe. I am inclined to begin auditioning commercial litigation folk this afternoon.
00:36 ossabot Logged on 2019-10-07 15:28:43 asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: understand that waiting will accomplish nothing. even supposing the mario & luigi derps come back and 'we fixed pipe, promise it won't happen again' it WILL happen again. week, month, year, later, and whole story will repeat.
00:36 asciilifeform right
00:36 mp_en_viaje i have not what to argue with this ; nor any reaso nto argue. seems to me the one remaining thing to protect is the physical machines.
00:36 asciilifeform seems so.
00:36 mp_en_viaje well then that's what it is.
00:37 asciilifeform ( secondarily, the remnant of the acct balance at latech, but i honestly dun expect to see it again 'like own ears w/out mirror'(tm) )
00:38 mp_en_viaje you have a balance ?
00:38 mp_en_viaje i thought you owed ~now.
00:38 asciilifeform mp_en_viaje: mno, there was a security deposit, + remnant of month afaik.
00:39 mp_en_viaje when is your month end with them ?
00:39 mp_en_viaje don't tell me "the exact day before ispdos started" ?
00:39 asciilifeform mp_en_viaje: a q for BingoBoingo when he wakes up.
00:39 mp_en_viaje i thought he was over at dc
00:39 asciilifeform oh yea
00:39 * asciilifeform would like to give BingoBoingo room to try maneuvers involving 'the other dc' or whatnot, but at his option, and in consultation w/ subscribers .
00:40 mp_en_viaje i believe it is unwise to build floors atop chairs. usually chairs atop floors.
00:40 mod6 asciilifeform: The tbf box in the rack would be nice to be backed up -- I believe, from memory, this is a raid configuration in there. If the drives are pulled and not numbered correctly, probably can't re-create.
00:41 asciilifeform mp_en_viaje: remains , imho, to be seen, whether 'floors' even exist.
00:41 asciilifeform possibly -- chairs all the way down.
00:41 mod6 It serves two functions: 1. tbf website, 2. trb node.
00:41 asciilifeform mod6: i didn't build your box, but if it's a '3ware', order dun matter
00:41 mp_en_viaje be that as it may, "ima try to start isp while these people are waiting to get plugged back in" is like "ima try to build restaurant in front of queue of hungry people". the correct way is to build first and then queue.
00:41 asciilifeform so long as you actually get ~your~ drive set and not someone else's mix.
00:42 asciilifeform mp_en_viaje this is so.
00:42 mod6 Ah, ok. I can't be certain it is a 3ware. Maybe BB can check inside the box.
00:42 mp_en_viaje mod6, i never ran into this order problem in a raid before ?
00:42 asciilifeform mp_en_viaje: fact of the matter is, the nearest restaurant is across atlantic, will take time to get to it in any case.
00:42 mp_en_viaje (admittedly because back when people did, i didn't need nor could afford such things)
00:43 mod6 I'd like to see the whole box backed up, but really, (iirc) the /var partition holds the website data. The node chain is less important.
00:43 asciilifeform mod6: chain is cheap as dirt.
00:43 mp_en_viaje well... it is your chain.
00:43 asciilifeform but if you want it, mod6 , will have to get it
00:43 asciilifeform i expect BingoBoingo will help.
00:43 mod6 mp_en_viaje: Fair enough, I seem to remember this as a problem with striping.. like a RAID 5.
00:44 asciilifeform mod6: if it was '3ware' or similar respectable card, it writes drive # to 1st block.
00:44 mod6 asciilifeform: that'll suffice. will work with BB as needed.
00:44 mod6 asciilifeform: ah, ok, good to know.
00:44 asciilifeform i do not know what mod6 had tho, it was his own iron.
00:44 asciilifeform ditto trinque .
00:45 mod6 gotta run out for some meat. will be keeping up on logz tho. ttyl.
00:45 asciilifeform laters mod6
00:46 asciilifeform incidentally network is down to 3, maybe 4, working trb noades, such as are known to asciilifeform .
00:46 mp_en_viaje i guess ima put a node on the new trilemabot machine too, why not.
00:47 asciilifeform mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform was provisioning a noad-capable box too, for moldavia test .
00:47 asciilifeform ( 1tb 'samsung pro' )
00:47 mp_en_viaje trb node very fine tester indeed.
00:48 asciilifeform as stands, noad needs at least 2GB dedicated ram, and tb of ssd is known to live for >2y . (not counting fill, which will fill in ~4y guaranteed as the chain marches)
00:49 * asciilifeform nao stuck figuring out what to do with 15 rk's...
00:49 asciilifeform 16 really, 1 was spare.
00:50 asciilifeform ( what do do with the 6 at piz, will be for the shareholders to ponder )
00:50 * asciilifeform not invoiced BingoBoingo for the 16 , or their chassis/etc
00:51 asciilifeform generally i dun invoice until box is assembled, tested, and flown.
00:56 asciilifeform mp_en_viaje: if pipe is in fact restored, will make easier for folx to backup. but other than that i think is curtain call.
00:58 asciilifeform mp_en_viaje: i'ma point 'nosuchlabs.com' at yer www again, like during last exile in the desert, if you dun object. (plox to say if ok w/ this and then which ip prefer)
00:58 asciilifeform so happens that i renewed it last wk for next 9 years.
00:58 mp_en_viaje well i mean, it was lulzy on friday. by the time sunday rolled into monday which is now solidly tuesday as i write this... hypocalcemic syncope is one thing, but if she's not back on her feet by next week...
00:59 mp_en_viaje asciilifeform, i don't object, but does it do anything/need me to do anything /
00:59 asciilifeform nope.
00:59 mp_en_viaje not very convenient to fuck with root right now
00:59 mp_en_viaje aite.
00:59 asciilifeform i'm ok that it goes to random mp_en_viaje page . ( can't point at own www yet, it's still on that heathen random-ip-of-the-week thing )
00:59 mp_en_viaje keks
01:00 mp_en_viaje well, if you didn't move it for pizarro, maybe now to moldavia :D
01:00 asciilifeform was actually why asciilifeform took an interest in the moldavia fella. was thinking 'can finally put asciilifeform's blog'
01:00 asciilifeform mp_en_viaje: i specifically did not want it in piz, cuz already had dark thought re target-rich envir.
01:00 asciilifeform '3 smoking from same match'
01:01 mp_en_viaje aha
01:02 asciilifeform will switch it tomorrow .
01:04 * asciilifeform wonders what is his remaining use on battlefield. e.g. snsa is approx as alive as piz...
01:05 asciilifeform nao i haven't even a logger .
01:05 asciilifeform to others, goes the torch of logotron .
01:06 asciilifeform diana_coman and lobbes .
01:07 asciilifeform fallen is phuctor. (it was gonna get fatter disks, in resupply crate, so can actually go through those ssl dumps , to date has been doing 'random sample' of'em erry wk )
01:08 asciilifeform i'ma carry on w/ peh (needs keccak) , perhaps mp_en_viaje & co will still find use for it .
01:09 mp_en_viaje well, we can talk about nsa later this week, ima have to write report anyways. one thing at a time neh ?
01:09 asciilifeform aite.
01:10 * asciilifeform will complete 'peh' even when exiled to pluto, imho it needs doin'
01:10 asciilifeform i dun expect it will make riches tho.
01:10 mp_en_viaje piling everything together, "my car got a flat tire, and come to think of it my wife is annoying also" is a great way to find suicide appealing and naught much else. not exactly rational review.
01:10 asciilifeform tru
01:11 * asciilifeform also dealing with a possibly-imploding salt mine, for extra kicks
01:11 mp_en_viaje things should be reviewed on merits, and periodically, but on merits and periodically, not whenever got a paper cut.
01:11 mp_en_viaje asciilifeform, from experience, all possibly imploding salt mines are in fact imploding. Mocky_ 's experience is iirc in the logs as current-most-recent.
01:11 asciilifeform mp_en_viaje: i can't say i've much to claim as 'merits' in recent time.
01:12 mp_en_viaje isn't that a sobering thought.
01:12 asciilifeform if were japanese prolly already would have appointed kaishakunin and bought white sheets etc.
01:12 mp_en_viaje white sheets are always good to have in any case.
01:13 asciilifeform put full throttle since late may into piz & logger. nao have neither.
01:13 mp_en_viaje well, actually, your logger is widely distributed and you have it, except for not atm on a box.
01:13 asciilifeform ( e.g. 'm' also was for piz. came to 0. )
01:13 lobbes logger vpatch still exists because asciilifeform tho
01:13 lobbes mp-wp bot couldn't be a thing without it, for example
01:13 asciilifeform lobbes: nao time for the young heroes.
01:14 mp_en_viaje i daresay most of the benefit of pizarro was in training you inept tards to some (probably minuscule) degree.
01:14 mp_en_viaje that, you also carry with you.
01:14 asciilifeform mp_en_viaje: before piz lost shirt twice. so far most of what learned is 'electrified fence around zone, hurts' )
01:15 mp_en_viaje "not talking to many people you don't know ~= suicide" might've been more productive a lesson.
01:15 mp_en_viaje but ultimately, the reason experience's so painfully expensive, is that nobody takes so much from it ever.
01:16 mp_en_viaje pizarro had a decent run in spite of management ; that it came to an end... it ran for 20+ months neh. plenty of time.
01:17 asciilifeform http://logs.ericbenevides.com/log/trilema/2019-10-08#1941985 << fwiw i've never worked anywhere that didn't eventually die. even that usg army lab -- closes.
01:17 ericbot Logged on 2019-10-08 00:11:07 mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform, from experience, all possibly imploding salt mines are in fact imploding. Mocky_ 's experience is iirc in the logs as current-most-recent.
01:17 asciilifeform *closed
01:17 mp_en_viaje right.
01:18 asciilifeform last go around, asciilifeform was stuck in 'butugychag' (physically commuted-to hellhole) for 6+mo.
01:18 asciilifeform ~0 useful output.
01:18 asciilifeform was also when lost good % of net worth in the alphago thing.
01:18 mp_en_viaje which was this ?
01:19 asciilifeform was in the last days of bitbet.
01:19 mp_en_viaje oh oh, google go bot
01:19 asciilifeform aha
01:19 mp_en_viaje lol, remember the 1k btc berkshire bet ?
01:19 * asciilifeform actually followed the last convulsions of bbet, and the end of era1, on hidden terminal in a snakepit fulla unspeakable usg stooges
01:20 asciilifeform mp_en_viaje: of course remember
01:20 mp_en_viaje good times.
01:21 asciilifeform all times eventually remembered as 'good times', is how the meat worx
01:21 asciilifeform 'we were younger then'(tm)(r)
01:22 mp_en_viaje in my case it's more a case of "oh, remember when the old shcmucks srsly thought they stand a chance ?"
01:22 asciilifeform !o seen Mocky
01:22 ossabot Mocky last seen here on 2019-09-04 22:48:05: I fell down a rabbit hole
01:22 mp_en_viaje but anyways, having now read this 771 line / 19k words log twice, ima to bed.
01:22 asciilifeform !o seen-anywhere Mocky
01:22 ossabot Mocky last seen in #trilema on 2019-09-04 22:48:05: I fell down a rabbit hole
01:22 mp_en_viaje take it easy all.
01:22 asciilifeform goodnight mp_en_viaje
01:24 lobbes http://logs.ericbenevides.com/log/trilema/2019-10-07#1941645 << at my current rate of developing the thing, I will give a tentative estimate of Jan 1st 2020 as delivery date of whole enchilada. I will update this deadline quickly if I see it threatening to be pushed
01:24 ericbot Logged on 2019-10-07 21:34:35 mp_en_viaje: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-10-07#1941357 << i meant the whole thing, when you're ready to make delivery and i hafta have a server ready for you to do this on.

That's a conservative estimate as well; hopefully sooner.
01:24 ericbot Logged on 2019-10-07 06:37:31 mp_en_viaje: lobbes, when is it you'll need a server to sit down orchestra on ?
01:24 asciilifeform lobbes: i expect there'll be a where-to-park then.
01:25 lobbes seems like folks are aiming towards diana_coman's contact huh
01:25 asciilifeform lobbes: afaik the only promising parking atm.
01:26 asciilifeform remains to be seen how will behave on battlefield, but so far could be worse
01:26 asciilifeform d00d seems willing to colo, gave price.
01:26 asciilifeform ( iirc diana_coman took a leased stock machine rather than colo )
01:26 lobbes willing to gpg and accept btc too, it seems
01:26 asciilifeform looxlike
01:27 asciilifeform this in itself is rare.
01:27 lobbes I may look into getting another box from them myself; gonna need another home for blog / auctionbot and would rather not hang everything on my usg hoster
01:27 asciilifeform not 1 of the fucktards i abortively talked to in '17 was willing to eat btc.
01:28 * asciilifeform might be unusual, but often prefers to pay in orc scrip because sitting on a vehehehery modest and rapidly dwindling pile of btc
01:28 lobbes that was why I went with orc scrip with my current hoster. I also have small pile
01:29 lobbes even worse, I dun even have a working trb node
01:29 asciilifeform lobbes: i had enuff for maybe 1 moar refuel of piz and then fat zero.
01:30 asciilifeform piz was also my last working means for buying coin .
01:31 lobbes same, I'm glad I bought little bits when it was alive at least. I'll miss those auctions
01:31 asciilifeform ~100% of the coin asciilifeform ever had, in fact came from the people here.
01:32 lobbes I bought my first coin for ~$20 back in 2013 or abouts, then hung onto it for dear life. Almost lost it in a tardstalk scam, but luckily read hanbot's ancient writings; found this place in time
01:34 asciilifeform lobbes: i mined (yes) 1st, on the pile of junkyard fpga i happened to have surrounded self with at the time .
01:34 asciilifeform did not want to deal with the 'btc komoyooniti', found it repulsive.
01:34 asciilifeform eventually bought a little from 'gox' right before it chernobyled.
01:35 asciilifeform then only had from friends, all of whom incidentally still here .
01:35 asciilifeform also at one point sold a mythical kingdom to some unknown fella for a little.
01:35 asciilifeform that's pretty much it.
01:36 lobbes lolwut duckdom
01:36 asciilifeform !o s urbit
01:36 ossabot 121 results for "urbit" in #trilema
01:37 asciilifeform lobbes: nao-forgotten d00d wrote a sort of early premined shitcoin, 'urbit', and asciilifeform won one as a prize in a contest he had. is what this was.
01:38 asciilifeform point being, in asciilifeform's eyes only makes sense to spend personal coinz if can buy it back ~immediately at same or better price. which is difficult to do.
01:39 asciilifeform so normally i see it as 'non-renewable resource', like to sell organs.
01:40 asciilifeform as it is, asciilifeform was building boxen, so managed to not only burn most of coin stash on it, but fiatola saving also.
01:40 asciilifeform ( asciilifeform cannot safely receive fiatola from humans. so that's where got with what to build. )
01:41 lobbes ah okay, so you arbitraged a shitcoin in a sense
01:41 asciilifeform it will be a while before asciilifeform can again participate in building anything that material costs more than electrons .
01:41 asciilifeform or to go overseas etc.
01:41 asciilifeform had reserved for resupply crate and its contents, tho.
01:53 asciilifeform lobbes, diana_coman : logotron tree updated, removed 'shlex' , tested with bare hands on local staging box ( baitbot ! ) , can be used .
01:55 asciilifeform lobbes: i was sadly unable to mirror your patches, as they lived in piz. when you find new home for your www, i will mirror. (otherwise feel free to paste as comments, and i'ma try and parse'em out)
01:55 asciilifeform sigs, that is
01:55 asciilifeform iirc lobbes had sigs for existing patches.
01:56 asciilifeform bot is unaffected by this patch, diana_coman & lobbes can emplace w/out reset .
01:59 lobbes asciilifeform: ack re: sigs. I'll let you know once I have new blog home. Going to order a leased stock box from that moldavian hoster nao methinks
02:00 lobbes and neato re: patch. I still need to apply the detect_disconnect patch as well. Will do that tonight before bed
02:01 asciilifeform lobbes: i expect if we all park in same cage , will end in same tears .
02:01 asciilifeform i suspect is is a fundamentally bad idea .
02:03 asciilifeform that being said, i dun exactly have a list of 9000 cages that known to work.
02:04 asciilifeform lobbes, diana_coman , can take the piz banners off yer log www's, they dun go anywhere no moar...
02:06 lobbes asciilifeform: this is a point re: parking in same cage. Perhaps couldn't hurt to do some more charting.
02:08 * asciilifeform will miss the golden time of when could put a box in a locking cage where only l1 human , rather than dirty paws of heathens, will lay on it
02:09 asciilifeform lobbes: if you colo boxen, i rec to take a weekend to learn to use a spot welder
02:09 asciilifeform they're inexpensive .
02:11 asciilifeform naturally a welded tin can aint a 100 tonne safe . but will be equally impossible to get inside w/out leaving obv. marks.
02:11 asciilifeform if yer good about photographing before sending off.
02:25 * asciilifeform off to pet pets. bbl.
02:25 lobbes enjoy!
02:40 * BingoBoingo back at terminal. Shared machine user data backed up along with databases. asciilifeform Dulap powered down, drives removed

03:43 ossabot Logged on 2019-10-07 21:15:20 mp_en_viaje: "not talking to many people you don't know ~= suicide" might've been more productive a lesson.
03:54 lobbes BingoBoingo: fwiw, I think you did better at this venture than I imagine I ever would have. It took balls to take that initial leap over the wire and bootstrap the thing.
03:54 lobbes tmsr is all about embracing one's failure and learning from it, if I've learned anything from being here
~ 17 minutes ~
04:11 lobbes it is easy to look at, say MP, and go "well I'll never even be close to doing the things he does", but to me BingoBoingo's story is uniquely inspirational in that folx like myself can go "well, he made the jump into uncharted waters. He built *something* even if the resistance of the medium won in the end. Why couldn't I also build something?"
04:11 lobbes Not sure what I'm trying to say exactly, other than perhaps "there's many ways to make a mark in history". Idk, I'ma shut up as my inspirational speeches seem to have a history of turning people off rather than inspiring
04:11 BingoBoingo lobbes: Leaping over the wire was the easy part. Letting ritual complexity explode early by not objecting to the GPG note passing thing was a failure. The big failure was marketing, not having a private message churner or selling anyone on the idea of getting one together for Pizarro and fast. The thing about failures is that over time their consequences accrete. Over time these accretions build up and generate inertia. It is like a
04:11 BingoBoingo weight.
04:13 lobbes this is true about the accretions of failure. A lesson for all of us, I reckon. Makes me take a hard look at my own failures I may be missing
04:15 lobbes on the bright side, tho, now you have real world experience for someone else that starts an endeavor of the sort. It is expensive to get that experience, and you own it in a way no one else does
04:15 BingoBoingo To put together a Qntra I might read five to ten takes from raw sources before I can collapse the story into condensed, journalistic text.
04:18 BingoBoingo To put together another Pizarro from nothing, Even with the past two years there are other hard edges I have not mastered that I know would be necessary, and the tissue paper pipe problem can happen again.
04:21 BingoBoingo I don't in this moment feel as portable as I did in 2017 because now there's the Peruana. I'm rather fond of her, but she loves me.
04:27 BingoBoingo She's been working on getting some English language, but ripping her out of the Spanish language space and bringing her to eastern Europe and Slavic languages to get colocated with me near another datacenter... When the necessity of spreading seems to have been one of the lessons... It seems a bit much.
04:33 lobbes well, as diana_coman once told me *sustainable* growth is the key. From my chair at least, it doesn't seem like taking time to regroup is a necessarily a bad thing
04:33 lobbes but I'm no growth expert!
04:35 BingoBoingo I am inclined to make somewhere in Latin America, even if not Uruguay work. Bingoboingo the journalist loves this country. Bingoboingo the retarded datacenter tech/mongoloid startup manager hates this country.
04:37 * asciilifeform waves
04:37 * BingoBoingo waves
04:37 lobbes heya asciilifeform
04:40 asciilifeform BingoBoingo: seems that you do not want to be evacuated yourself ? asciilifeform is ready to carry out this duty if BingoBoingo wishes.
04:40 asciilifeform BingoBoingo: i will buy personally for you a ticket to anywhere on planet3.
04:41 asciilifeform ( what to do there, is separate q, if i knew i'd buy for self also ! )
04:42 BingoBoingo asciilifeform: Not looking to evacuate immediately.
04:42 asciilifeform aite.
04:42 asciilifeform but there's orcbux in reserve for this. as was sworn.
04:44 BingoBoingo asciilifeform: If you do make it back to the Oriental Republic, however... I am willing to drop everything to make a potroast.
04:45 asciilifeform BingoBoingo: i'ma come if it somehow turns out to be impossible to send the irons as freight, but otherwise must pass.
04:46 BingoBoingo That I guessed from the logs.
04:46 asciilifeform fwiw i still have the transportation gear, the sacks, paddings, etc.
04:47 asciilifeform the specific flavour of x86 boxen asciilifeform is partial to, has become a rarity, and imho worth to recover all of it for reuse.
04:49 BingoBoingo Those servers are a treasure.
04:49 asciilifeform http://logs.ericbenevides.com/log/trilema/2019-10-08#1942089 << if neither mod6 nor mp ( the other shareholders ) disagree , i'd like all of the piz irons to be sold for modest cost to the current tenants, who can then use .
04:49 ericbot Logged on 2019-10-08 01:46:08 BingoBoingo: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-10-07#1941897 << S.MG was to buy the two machines through payment of machines in kind
04:49 asciilifeform incl. rk.
04:50 asciilifeform nuffin should be left to the orcs if it can be helped.
04:51 lobbes interesting. I would entertain the idea of buying the rk I am renting (depending on cost of course)
04:53 asciilifeform snsa bought its share of piz for FG crate + 2 boxen ( the very smg boxen in fact ) , perhaps mp will accept these back .
04:54 asciilifeform imho castle mpstein would be a proper home for the remaining FG's, asciilifeform does not know how long has 'until sepsis' .
04:59 BingoBoingo asciilifeform: If you want to do a slow growth thing and try to recoup some Bitcoin, I don't see what is keeping you from finishing your second RK plant and finding it a lower cost basis/better value pipe eurocolo.
04:59 asciilifeform BingoBoingo: cuz i cannot in good conscience try to peddle a chunk of a colo to which some derp has the keys and i'm 10,000km away.
05:00 asciilifeform ( and can't move self. i'm a pauper and my pauperty's here . )
05:00 asciilifeform how the fuck do i even say pauperty in eng
05:00 asciilifeform y'know, the designated spot where a pauper paups.
05:01 asciilifeform паперть .
05:01 BingoBoingo Back when england was a thing they tried to keep those from accumulating.
05:01 asciilifeform might be false cognate actually.
05:02 asciilifeform паперть is the roofed spot in front of church.
05:03 BingoBoingo The stoop
05:03 BingoBoingo Or on a church the stoople
05:03 asciilifeform that.
05:04 asciilifeform apparently false cognate tho, the eng is from the latin.
05:06 BingoBoingo Of the the places in Uruguay that could draw urban campers... Churchfronts tend not to.
05:06 asciilifeform BingoBoingo: slavic / orthodox church thing.
05:06 asciilifeform the churchgoers were expected to put coin into designated paupers.
05:07 BingoBoingo Here they have Catholic, Anglican, Several different kinds of jew, Mormon, the "Christ Scientists" have a giant one...
05:07 BingoBoingo Have yet to encounter a distinctly orthodox presenting church in the city.
05:07 asciilifeform the big ortho cathedral in timis had a proper pauperty. oddly, no paupers tho.
05:09 asciilifeform BingoBoingo: fwiw piz was to be also asciilifeform's escape tunnel, but dug not even 1% of it, so is the smallest loss.
05:10 asciilifeform i still think that e.g. lobbes could escape.
05:11 * lobbes is currently in own state of 'regroup', but does have eye on escape eventually
05:12 * asciilifeform no longer has anything resembling a realistic picture of escape. perhaps could sign on as swabbie on mp's submarine when he buys 1...

09:10 deedbot maxim_mivo voiced for 30 minutes.
09:11 diana_coman maxim_mivo: you can !!up with deedbot yourself and then it's permanent rather than in 30min slots
09:20 maxim_mivo Diana, thanks, done.
09:23 diana_coman still waiting for MP atm.
09:24 diana_coman maxim_mivo: do you offer colo in Chisinau only or in Romania too or where?
09:26 maxim_mivo diana_coman: we offer colocation in Chisinau only.
09:27 maxim_mivo Except colocation, all our services are available in Romania, Iasi.
09:28 diana_coman mivocloud.com seems to say moscow & oregon too - is that outdated ?
09:29 maxim_mivo We provide virtual servers also in USA (Oregon, Missouri) and Moscow
09:29 diana_coman maxim_mivo: but do you have infrastructure there ?
09:29 maxim_mivo No
09:30 diana_coman ok; so you have the infrastructure in Chisinau only; correct?
09:30 maxim_mivo We have our infrastructure in Chisinau and Iasi
09:30 diana_coman ah, good.
09:31 maxim_mivo Both DCs are interconnected
09:32 diana_coman maxim_mivo: do they have any separate net pipes? or is it basically the same if I get a server in Iasi or in Chisinau?
09:32 * diana_coman waves to mp_en_viaje
09:32 maxim_mivo Separate uplinks
09:32 diana_coman not bad
09:33 mp_en_viaje heya!
09:33 mp_en_viaje hi maxim_mivo , thanks for showing up.
09:33 maxim_mivo Hi mp_en_viaje, you're welcome.
09:33 mp_en_viaje so do you have any idea what ~any of this is or notrly ?
09:34 maxim_mivo FIY: i speak romanian, but if other people read this, it's ok to continue in english.
09:35 mp_en_viaje yes, lots of people read it. and good for you, i also speak romanian. and spanish. and well.. a few langs. testament of an active intelligence.
09:36 maxim_mivo mp_en_viaje: so do you have any idea what ~any of this is or notrly ? What do you mean ?
09:36 * diana_coman would really rather not talk data centre stuff in Latin
09:36 mp_en_viaje maxim_mivo, i mean, you're here. where is "here" ? you're talking to some people. who are they ? that sort of thing.
09:38 mp_en_viaje diana_coman, apparently my questions get ever better in terms of wtf factor as time goes by huh.
09:39 diana_coman mp_en_viaje: kind of how it goes, ~always; there's more actual history accumulated, after all.
09:39 mp_en_viaje true
09:41 mp_en_viaje maxim_mivo, you're not required to ad-hoc research lol, if you say "no" i'll just give you a summary you can fill out later if/when
09:42 maxim_mivo I don't any searches. Just waiting for questions.
09:43 maxim_mivo I have 20 more minutes to stay with you here guys.
09:43 mp_en_viaje alight, let's make it short then.
09:43 mp_en_viaje the top node is the most serene republic, which is a sovereign. like say the country of romania.
09:44 mp_en_viaje this is its forum, the people-who-matter meet here to discuss things-that-matter. like say the parliament of romania.
09:45 mp_en_viaje as it happens the republic ran an isp out of a datacenter in uruguay, which recently imploded. this means we have a bunch of boxes that need a new home, and some people who possibly need a new job.
09:45 mp_en_viaje so the questions to you will come on three lines. 1 as to colocation and related ; 2 as to human resources and related, and 3 as to interoperation with republican systems and practices.
09:46 mp_en_viaje so let's get to them in order : we have specific boxes configurations, including custom-made hardware such as the fg. i understand you can actually colocate these ?
09:46 maxim_mivo What does "fg" mean ?
09:47 mp_en_viaje it's a hardware rng. i'd link you the specsheet / pics etc but atm its site is down
09:47 diana_coman mp_en_viaje: maxim_mivo there's at least the pic lol http://trilema.com/2017/fuckgoats-unboxing-of/
09:47 mp_en_viaje http://trilema.com/2016/fuckgoats-first-batch-assembles-successfully/ << here's some more yeah
09:47 maxim_mivo Should we know what that boxes do ?
09:48 mp_en_viaje nsa, short for No Such lAbs, is the republic's electronic mfg.
09:48 mp_en_viaje maxim_mivo, all sorta thing, there's a mmorpg game server, there's a bunch of complciated math machines (ever heard of phuctor ?), there's blogs, irc loggers,
09:49 mp_en_viaje all sorta shit people do / need / built over time.
09:50 diana_coman maxim_mivo: the fg is a hardware rng and it can be connected to any USB port but for colocated machines it will most likely be inside already ie not an external thing
09:51 maxim_mivo OK, got it, we can colocate them.
09:53 mp_en_viaje now, for the sake of saving time, let's dump questions :
09:53 mp_en_viaje 1. boxes take ~250W peak iirc, and are 1U form. there's prolly gonna be 3-4 to start with. can you host these, how do you need to receive them (fedex to whom/where specifically ?), what sorta pipe can you plug into them and for what costs.
09:53 mp_en_viaje 2. do you want another employee ? he's hardworking and learns fast if not particularly well versed right now ; some kind of apprenticeship is probably on the table.
09:53 mp_en_viaje 3. will you be able to invoice me via deedbot's sytem ? do you understand what the wot is and how it works etc ?
09:54 mp_en_viaje asciilifeform, will you want the boxes shipped over to you first to inspect seals and so on ?
09:57 maxim_mivo 1. We can host them. You'll have to send them to our business address (i'll provide it), declare the customs price and pay the taxes for our customs. The colo price includes 100mbps internet with unlimited bandwidth.
09:59 maxim_mivo 2. We don't hire remote workers. Plus every our employee must speak english, russian and romanian. Basicaly every IT man here in Moldova speaks that languages. I assume your doesn't.
09:59 maxim_mivo 3. What payment method will you use ?
10:00 mp_en_viaje maxim_mivo, wouldn't be remote, he'd move there. speaks english an' spanish.
10:01 mp_en_viaje all payment in bitcoin, it looks like this : http://logs.ossasepia.com/log-search?q=!!pay&chan=trilema
10:01 maxim_mivo Sorry, russian, english and romanian are a must.
10:01 mp_en_viaje alright.
10:02 mp_en_viaje never thought i'd live to see the day speaking romanian's a bar to anything o.O
10:03 maxim_mivo Our romanian and moldovan customers don't speak in english with us.
10:03 mp_en_viaje well yes, but conceivably being an internet business you might benefit from wider language cover.
10:03 mp_en_viaje i dunno, your castle, run it as you please.
10:04 diana_coman maxim_mivo: deedbot does more than just voice in chan; specifically here, it provides a wallet service for people in the wot; ie you can deposit/withdraw bitcoin from/to any address you want + you can invoice & pay invoices between wallets directly for any amount.
10:04 diana_coman ofc the help page is on trinque.org that seems also down, ugh.
10:04 mp_en_viaje was trinque in uy too ?!
10:04 mp_en_viaje i recall him not wanting to eggbasket
10:05 diana_coman I thought he wasn't but atm I can't access trinque.org nor http://deedbot.org/help.html
10:05 mp_en_viaje http://wot.deedbot.org/ << no, it's up
10:05 diana_coman that one yes; the help though not.
10:05 diana_coman or not from here at least
10:05 mp_en_viaje http://deedbot.org/help.html
10:05 mp_en_viaje i see it.
10:05 diana_coman so then it's only me, ok.
10:05 mp_en_viaje http://archive.is/1ydLc << fresh copy anyways
10:06 maxim_mivo Sorry, guys. I don't have time to read all your WoT things (no offense).
10:06 mp_en_viaje maxim_mivo, no problem.
10:06 mp_en_viaje http://trinque.org/wp-content/themes/trinque/style.css << i see the problem now. your browser prolly hangs on this diana_coman ; i have ly set to just ignore
10:06 maxim_mivo Does your wallet support to transfer funds to a BTC address ? (i saw on the link you provided it transfers to nicknames).
10:07 mp_en_viaje maxim_mivo, yup, !!withdraw 1blablabla
10:07 diana_coman maxim_mivo: yes, it does; you can withdraw the funds to any btc address; ie you receive it in your own deedbot wallet and then you can !!withdraw to anywhere
10:07 mp_en_viaje http://logs.ossasepia.com/log-search?q=!!withdraw&chan=trilema << looks like that.
10:08 maxim_mivo When paying the invoice, you'll see a BTC address where you have to transfer the payment.
10:08 mp_en_viaje it also has built-in accounting (!!ledger) etc. it's quite useful, and in any case better than some website whatever.
10:08 mp_en_viaje maxim_mivo, specifically what i'm asking is if you'll do it here rather than have me load some website.
10:09 maxim_mivo I don't think that's possible.
10:09 mp_en_viaje aite well.
10:09 mp_en_viaje thanks for your time.
10:09 maxim_mivo Is there anything more i can help you with ?
10:09 mp_en_viaje i don't think so, nope.
10:10 maxim_mivo OK, it was a pleasure to talk to you. Have a nice day.
10:12 * diana_coman goes back to searching for isp
10:12 mp_en_viaje http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-10-07#1942033 << maybe. nfi why people are so married to their ad-hocisms, but as a factual matter -- they are.
10:12 ossabot Logged on 2019-10-07 21:25:55 asciilifeform: lobbes: afaik the only promising parking atm.
10:13 diana_coman quite possibly because of uninterrupted bad-experience with anything else previously really
10:13 mp_en_viaje quite possibly.
10:14 mp_en_viaje or if not, because internet age has dawned this solispsistc, single-player-WoWoW thing, "we shall make some statements and proclaiments and expect THE WHOLE WORLD to submit".
10:14 diana_coman what boggles the mind though is that he'd go to the trouble of coming here for 1 hour or even more if asked; but he would turn down several colo boxes rather than set a guy to do !!withdraw
10:14 mp_en_viaje you see it in rando cuntlets too, "this is not how i stated i wish to be used".
10:15 mp_en_viaje diana_coman, the fissure axis seems to be "who's in charge". came here tarabostes wasn't about to walk away knight. reminds me of douchebag dood also
10:16 diana_coman well, some lines in the sand are perhaps even sane to have; but there doesn't seem to be any re-evaluation or anything, extremely rigid in weird places.
10:16 diana_coman mp_en_viaje: ah, that myeah; it did quite start like that indeed.
10:16 mp_en_viaje o look, http://trilema.com/2011/romanul-si-marea/?b=Ce%20face&e=lumea#select is in romanian even!
10:17 mp_en_viaje diana_coman, how to re-evaluate tho if no time to read ? it's a chain.
10:17 diana_coman had yest in #o a funny guy (not romanian though) who was so very busy studying 20 languages (very rigid program!!!) that he didn't have any time for...communicating
10:17 mp_en_viaje "no time to read" implicitly includes "i'm done re-evaluatin ganything"
10:18 diana_coman mp_en_viaje: indeed; though it was that "your stuff"; pretty much "rigid study languages, no time to communicate" just here it's rigidly sticking boxes in racks, no time to know wtf
10:18 mp_en_viaje i mean... come, come now, who above me can claim "no time to X" ? here i sit, like last time, in a bed surrounded by mirrors, MAKING time.
10:18 mp_en_viaje cuz, elementarily, if i didn't make it, i wouldn't have it. i can certainly eat, drink and make merry back to back for the remainder of my days wut.
10:19 mp_en_viaje but i have time to read shaw's deeply inept attempt, like i have time to all sorta things. not because "there's nothing else on tv" anyway, wtf, there was literal parade of sluts, came naked through hotel to see maybe i have time for kitty ? as it happens i didn't. will, later, defo. what can you do.
10:19 mp_en_viaje MAKE time or no time.
10:20 diana_coman that much though is true for anyone; ie either they make time for x or they..don't have it ; and yes, they can eat and drink until they die (though as the line goes, that'll come quickly)
10:20 mp_en_viaje but i don't deem the people with no time as having a life. because wtf life is that, circumvectamur amore.
10:21 mp_en_viaje o hai there hanbot_abroad
10:22 hanbot_abroad howdy. voiced to say you make time for what's important; nothing's important in a system devoid of meaning because everything from god to a cheeseburger has the same weight and emotional relevancy and etc.
10:22 mp_en_viaje this'd be so.
10:22 mp_en_viaje no hierarchy -> no time, just as elementarily.
10:23 mp_en_viaje implicitly what i aimed to resolve with my structured summary in the introduction. but, self-evidently, if no hirarchy -> no meaning -> no possible introduction etc.
10:23 hanbot_abroad unfortunately also --> no regrets, which means no change, and meanwhile i walk away from reading that convo with the sole conclusion people oughta lose a toe at the start of discussions.
10:23 mp_en_viaje whatever, http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-10-08#1942236 rules all things.

10:24 mp_en_viaje goes deeper than oft realised, you've got a life, that's all you get, do as you will, gl&all that.
10:24 * mp_en_viaje is not particularly keen to look back however many years hence "fuuu... if only i had time!".
10:25 hanbot_abroad sure sure, run it as they please, but don't call it something it's not. plenty of grottenbahnschlossen scattered around not calling themselves Serious Businesses.
10:25 mp_en_viaje hanbot_abroad, historical mafia came up with ~same conclusion.
10:28 diana_coman it would be the keks of time if now the singaporean very-tightly-process-no-idea-outside guys actually manage to pass the hurdle and accept payment via deedbot
10:28 diana_coman by now I'll try it anyway

10:29 mp_en_viaje BingoBoingo, how does it feel btw, to watch guys supposedly so far ahead in the race it brings tears to a man's eyes, nevertheless stumble over such "nothings" ?
10:29 diana_coman fwiw re moldavians, I intend to keep the logger there; they *did* shoot themselves in the foot and so I won't add to that what I planned, but I won't move it away either.
10:30 mp_en_viaje yet this is how business, and for that matter adult life, goes. ALL the fucking time, i saw people much smarter than me, richer than me, taller, prettier, whatever you will, " driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of their women etc" because of this and naught else.
10:30 diana_coman the way I see it, atm a logger is just about what they can handle anyways.
10:31 mp_en_viaje besides, why deny ourselves the benefit of diversity just because definitionally diversity not homogenuous ? it'd be folly writ large.
10:31 mp_en_viaje "i want a diverse bevy of nubile young sluts looking just like this one"
10:31 diana_coman yes, the need for diversity lends them a good hand currently.

10:46 diana_coman mp_en_viaje: before asking to destroy, I'd much rather go through the steps of actually restoring from existing backups though; ie yes, backups we certainly have but I wouldn't push destroy button just yet if it's not burning hot.

10:48 mp_en_viaje anyways, ima get some bfast here, we can continue this in a few.
~ 19 minutes ~
11:08 diana_coman mp_en_viaje: my latest db backup on production server is from Saturday (5th October); apparently the Sunday one didn't make it through.
11:08 diana_coman I doubt it makes any difference though ie it was just me and dpb connected and neither of us active otherwise.
11:09 diana_coman the website's backup is fully fine (ie from the shared pizarro machine nothing's needed for smg)
11:10 diana_coman both test and production servers backups seem fine and up to date at a minimal inspection; full test means setting them up and there's the involved issue of full environment for them (versions of everything and so on); for this reason I'd say end of this week (Sun 13th) rather than "today"
11:19 diana_coman BingoBoingo: my younghands.club backups are fine too so I can confirm I don't need anything from the shared machine re younghands.club either.

16:09 asciilifeform would've made 0 diff in re the specific bullet.
16:09 asciilifeform other than 3x moar pissed off subscribers.
16:10 mp_en_viaje how long have you "not had what to sell" ?
16:10 asciilifeform mp_en_viaje: since last rk sold. which is iirc august.
16:10 mp_en_viaje and before that, had one rk ?
16:10 asciilifeform aha ( BingoBoingo , say if this correct )
16:11 mp_en_viaje well, either one or the other of the statements is false. either you did not sell because idiots ; or else did not sell because had not to sell. if the latter's the case, you had not to sell because you took your sweet time.
16:12 asciilifeform 'took sweet time' lol. asciilifeform -- is inmate, in fucking gulag. gets 2w of leave / yr .
16:12 mp_en_viaje but be all this as it may, not like you're not paying for it : the longer you spend prone, the likelier you get hurt.
16:12 asciilifeform mp_en_viaje: not disputing the general principle. but finding it difficult to see how would have made a diff re the latech thing.
16:12 mp_en_viaje jaywaling in 3 seconds is a lot more feasible than jaywalking in 3 days -- even the most deserted roads get a coupla cars / week

16:16 mp_en_viaje im sure all the miamists in shitole, anywhere buy apple whatever.
16:16 asciilifeform BingoBoingo: if you get chance to take up ex-sovokistans , i recc to take it. they're a higher cut of orc imho .
16:16 mp_en_viaje pretty sure i put this in the log somewhere, about how all the bums collect artefacts, even if broken, to stroke their spurious feelings of belonging
16:17 mp_en_viaje i wouldn't agree, having been there recently.
16:17 asciilifeform mp_en_viaje: you had a piece with gypsy sewer bunker and old sovok phone.
16:17 mp_en_viaje ex sovok slightly lower cut of orc than ex-spanish empire.
16:17 * BingoBoingo remembers seeing Windows 95 rollout at the local walmart. People saying "Oh, this is going to be like cars with new models denominated always and forever by model year"

16:26 * BingoBoingo has met sufficient Porteños to support MP's damnation of Argentina.
16:27 mp_en_viaje anyway, point being, i wouldn't buy a truckload of sovok importa for ten dollars.
16:27 mp_en_viaje imports*
16:27 asciilifeform BingoBoingo: naturally i believe mp_en_viaje, who did 2+yr tour. speaking of only what saw with own eyes.
16:28 mp_en_viaje asciilifeform, the problem with pollution is such, that any movement is helpful -- the great boon from escaping the toxin cocktail you're already overthelmed by will overpower on the short term any shortcomings
16:28 asciilifeform mp_en_viaje: i buy this 100%
16:28 mp_en_viaje man who came in from the cold might even think zyklon "showers" pleasant smelling for a spell
16:29 asciilifeform simply coming out of the gulag is unspeakable 'trip', aha
16:29 asciilifeform if asciilifeform had sat in e.g. argentina long enuff to need, say, a tooth fixed, prolly would have immediately seen same light that mp_en_viaje saw
16:31 mp_en_viaje anyway. i shall bbl
16:31 asciilifeform some places immediately seem broken tho. e.g. asciilifeform only needed a day in bucharest to understand that would not want to live there.

17:25 ossabot Logged on 2019-10-08 05:54:07 mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform, will you want the boxes shipped over to you first to inspect seals and so on ?
17:26 asciilifeform esp. since the moldavian fella's candidacy fell down. may be a while before a destination is found .
17:27 * asciilifeform again experimenting w/ 'what if within physical range of asciilifeform ?' but does not expect fat return. granted these wouldn't in a million years eat btc, but w/ mp's agreement, asciilifeform could feed it orcbux and eat btc . in principle.
17:28 asciilifeform i would not propose to attempt 'isp' in the heart of mordor, but possibly could house a box or two that way.
17:29 asciilifeform the smg boxen (already FG'd etc) i expect diana_coman will want sent straight to where they are to live again. and meanwhile they will go under BingoBoingo's bed or similar.
17:29 asciilifeform re mod6's and trinque's , is necessary to ask'em , meanwhile also with BingoBoingo .
17:35 asciilifeform re smg again -- if diana_coman wants cleaning/redisking/inspection, i'll do it , but oughta keep in mind that if they visit usa there is moar likely to be what to inspect for in 1st place, obv.
17:35 asciilifeform as i understand, diana_coman has asked for the old disks to be cremated, so the smg boxes will need redisking, but potentially this could be done on-site where they are to go
17:37 asciilifeform the spread of the impi retardation among heathens is potential problem: would have to either swallow it (i disabled in all of these) or find someone who , like the moldavian, is willing to serialport ( dun solve the problem of os installation tho, to such a place would have to ship'em with disks containing something resembling os )
17:39 asciilifeform in piz, we solved this by having kvm device in the rack. apparently heathens no longer keep these around, near as i can tell.
17:39 asciilifeform ( 'just use ipmi, what are you, terrorist ? ' etc )
17:39 asciilifeform see also .
17:39 ossabot (ossasepia) 2019-09-27 maxim_mivo: We don't offer a KVM service since all our servers are equipped with an OOB Managment module (iDRAC, IPMI, iLO, etc.)
17:40 asciilifeform maintenance (of e.g. box that somehow got misconfigged and can't sit down on net) via serial plug is possible , but not os install.
17:40 asciilifeform for os, we had a BingoBoingo who physically soldiered in the rack w/ boot sticks etc.
17:43 asciilifeform BingoBoingo have you thought about where to put qntra ? i already miss qntra .
17:43 asciilifeform would like to see it return asap.
17:45 asciilifeform nao, to continue the funeral, at some pt shareholders will have to decide what-do re the remaining pieces, incl. coin. specifically, how much to burn on attempting orc lawsuit etc.
17:45 asciilifeform and BingoBoingo will have to decide wat-do re the crater. at the very least must get out of the latech contract, or may have to evacuate on short notice .
17:51 asciilifeform BingoBoingo: customers will have to get pro-rated refunds, iirc buncha folx refueled just week ago.
17:53 asciilifeform BingoBoingo: rk's i suggest to be offered to their current inhabitants for cost of postage. ( and if anyone would rather have the disk stick cremated, oughta indicate, and it then added to the pyre ) . the rk's per se have no writable storage aside from the sd & stick .
17:55 asciilifeform folx who want live disks mailed, are to understand that the integrity of their contents cannot be guaranteed.
17:55 asciilifeform raid arrays (e.g. asciilifeform's) i recommend to be mailed in N separate envelopes.
17:55 asciilifeform a 'last hurrah' of the raid5 functionality.
17:56 asciilifeform anyone who has something other than a raid5 and wants disks mailed, plox to indicate.
18:02 asciilifeform as for why anyone would want an rk back -- potentially could colo'em , if you buy a 19in box (20bux or so) . most colo outfits dun give a damn what you colo so long as it hangs on the rail .
18:02 asciilifeform will of course cost like any other box .
18:03 asciilifeform they have quite respectable performance, for e.g. blog; and nuffin intelistic inside'em. Gb nic, too.
18:05 asciilifeform storage aint restricted to thumb-sized stick, either -- at least 1 subscriber iirc had a full-sized 'samsung' ssd plugged in via snake.
18:10 asciilifeform iirc at least 1 had a trb noad going on rk .
18:16 BingoBoingo asciilifeform: Aite, I acquired ratcheting straps for the hand truck. About to get some boxes out.
18:22 asciilifeform BingoBoingo: use that suitcase you had as cushion (or i suppose could take cab)
18:22 asciilifeform BingoBoingo: if you roll'em 'naked' on a wheelbarrow, are likely to suffer the fate of harrison's 1st chronometer.
18:26 BingoBoingo asciilifeform: Will use some sort of cushion. The full sized boxes are too large for any suitcase I brought to Uruguay. Hence the value of your ancient giants.
18:34 asciilifeform aite.
18:34 asciilifeform i rec cab for movement of these.
18:34 asciilifeform rather than wheelbarrow 3km.
18:38 BingoBoingo asciilifeform: Reasonably smooth .6 km path. Will cab if proceeding delicately on foot is unfeasible.

20:21 BingoBoingo asciilifeform: He had a bouncer on UY1
20:21 asciilifeform i recall
20:22 asciilifeform his www too .
20:24 BingoBoingo asciilifeform: For the next three extractions I am leaning towards taking mod6/BTF, trinque, and the shared leaving Qntra/DNS, Rockchip plant, S.NSA vacant, switch, and the bilge box to be extracted
20:24 asciilifeform BingoBoingo: do the vacant -- last, but otherwise ok
20:25 asciilifeform BingoBoingo: switch similarly last.
20:25 asciilifeform boxen belonging to not-piz oughta be rescued 1st.
20:26 asciilifeform BingoBoingo: i assume already extracted all easily-removable disks ?
20:27 BingoBoingo asciilifeform: Right. The ones I haven't yet taken are coming out next trip. Had to get more labeling tape
20:29 asciilifeform aite.
20:30 * BingoBoingo will probably have to use duffel for RKplane given it's delicacy seems incompatible with ratchet straps and ride
20:30 asciilifeform BingoBoingo: it weighs what, kg.
20:30 asciilifeform can carry in lappy bag.
20:32 BingoBoingo Well, the width makes it a challenge for that. Back bag only so tall. Strongly disinclined to leave it open an take the astronomicly small chance pichi blazed out on pasta base gets unusually curious/bold.
20:32 asciilifeform BingoBoingo: can retrieve it last, if you must. get the disks labeled and out 1st, they ought fit in pocket.
20:33 asciilifeform BingoBoingo: rk per se is perhaps the least expensive piece in there, asciilifeform for instance is sitting on a crate of 16 new ones right here and presently nfi what to do with'em
20:34 BingoBoingo Aite
20:34 asciilifeform important to get the disks tho, the rk people may want'em.
20:35 asciilifeform wb mp_en_viaje
20:35 mp_en_viaje aite well, shall be off for the night.
20:35 asciilifeform goodnight mp_en_viaje
20:35 mp_en_viaje :p
20:35 BingoBoingo mp_en_viaje: Enjoy
20:36 diana_coman asciilifeform: dunno, maybe s.nsa could sell hardware including rk plants? for me asciilifeform-seal is worth something really.
20:37 * diana_coman goes to eat some log
20:38 asciilifeform diana_coman: i'd happily sell. but who to buy...
20:38 asciilifeform and ty diana_coman , i did not know that you esteemed the seal.
20:39 * asciilifeform will happily build any kind of box for diana_coman's works.
20:39 asciilifeform if diana_coman & co need cyclotron -- will build cyclotron.
20:41 diana_coman asciilifeform: I somehow think I might not be the only one valuing your seal; but anyway.
20:41 asciilifeform btw diana_coman there is bug fix , in case this was lost in the chaos .
20:41 ossabot Logged on 2019-10-07 21:53:44 asciilifeform: lobbes, diana_coman : logotron tree updated, removed 'shlex' , tested with bare hands on local staging box ( baitbot ! ) , can be used .
20:42 diana_coman asciilifeform: I am slowly digesting log (because I ate too much ips-talk today really) but I'll get to that too, thank you.
20:42 asciilifeform ty diana_coman .
20:43 asciilifeform nuffin catastrophic in that patch, simply cures the single-quotes thing.
20:44 diana_coman I got to the point where I'm firing them emails ~ can I order that or the other *without* your "account" that I utterly don't need; and similar.
20:44 asciilifeform diana_coman: anyone got past this just yet ?
20:44 diana_coman some are at least...looking to see if they can
20:44 diana_coman some are yet to wake up and answer
20:45 diana_coman fwiw romanians are *still* the most responsive for some reason; and honestly, I even tried to steer away from ro.
20:46 BingoBoingo asciilifeform: Off to roll and disk
20:46 asciilifeform BingoBoingo: a++
20:47 asciilifeform diana_coman: i currently do not know why mp fatwa'd ro, but must assume it was not because flag is wrong three colours
20:47 ossabot Logged on 2019-10-04 23:32:29 asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: back in '17 when dulap-I crater was still smoking , asciilifeform wanted to try ro . but mp_en_viaje said that it was poor site, and i'm inclined to think that he had good reason to say this.
20:48 diana_coman it *is* poor site; but a. still better than no site b. for diversity/maybe finding some actual people it may still work
20:49 asciilifeform hell i'm even considering the swamp an' digging for offerings there.
20:49 diana_coman ie it's one thing if you look at it to make an isp and another if not
20:49 asciilifeform for 'expendable' parking spot, almost anyffin is worth a test, imho
20:49 diana_coman but yes otherwise and moreover, it's no diversity if I don't go with moldavians but I go with Bucharest; 0 diversity in that really
20:50 asciilifeform diana_coman: if yer box is in a place you can potentially physically get to -- the reqs for the innkeeper are much looser potentially
20:51 asciilifeform ( in re such things as this )
20:51 ossabot Logged on 2019-10-08 16:09:51 asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: one simple pill is to colo a kvm. but obv. 1) costs 2) someone has to agree to operate.
20:51 diana_coman myeah but a bit too many potentially + having to get to it is yet another thing on top of a huge pile
20:51 asciilifeform diana_coman: it isn't as if you rebuild os from empty disk erryday.
20:52 asciilifeform to drive a coupla km once in a leap year is perhaps tolerable.
20:52 * asciilifeform brb,tea
20:59 diana_coman http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-10-08#1942398 -neah, Reading near London; there are a few data centers right next door, it's a rather active area in this sense.
20:59 ossabot Logged on 2019-10-08 11:44:28 asciilifeform: diana_coman: where's your current 'here' ? scotland ?
21:08 lobbes http://logs.ericbenevides.com/log/trilema/2019-10-08#1942657 << fwiw in most cases re: hardware I'd value asciilifeform's seal more than I'd value my own
21:09 ericbot Logged on 2019-10-08 19:40:36 diana_coman: asciilifeform: I somehow think I might not be the only one valuing your seal; but anyway.
21:11 lobbes http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-10-08#1942586 << I anticipated this response, but not sure how you figure utterly insane. I'm not asciilifeform nor diana_coman for e.g.; I'm still pretty "green" at programming and need to research each design phase and thoroughly test my implementations as I go to make sure it is correct. Oftentimes discover "shit, I fucked up, need to redo this part". I.e. learning as I go
21:11 ossabot Logged on 2019-10-08 15:54:16 mp_en_viaje: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-10-07#1942027 << this strikes me as utterly insane, for a spot of work that in my book counts to about 5 man-hours.
21:11 lobbes Add in the feedback cycle, digging into mpwp mysql guts, new additions to spec tacked on (here I would link to various documented pieces on blog, if I had a working one) and I don't come anywhere close to 5-hours. It will be serving Trilema, and it is needed to be correct in one go; no do-overs. My reputation's on the line here. Spot of work my foot!
21:13 diana_coman asciilifeform: from bucharest with amd-love: amd opteron x2150 apu 4 cores 1.5GHz 8 GB ddr3, centos7
21:14 diana_coman but no, they called 3 dudes to talk to me and still can't get over this outlandish idea that I do.not.want.to.make.account.with.them
21:21 BingoBoingo asciilifeform: Was instructed to ask Latecho to add the handcart door to my card to use the hand truck again. Going for all disks, all I can carry without wheels trip.
21:21 asciilifeform diana_coman: it's still neato. wonder if they'd cut out impi, emplace raid, FG .
21:22 asciilifeform BingoBoingo: what means 'add handcard door to card ?'
21:22 asciilifeform *handcart
21:23 diana_coman asciilifeform: while they were willing to talk/ask someone else to come and talk to this weird woman, they were utterly shocked at ~any request; to the point of 4min silence followed by a total change of subject
21:23 BingoBoingo asciilifeform: Apparently they don't want wheels scuffing up the floors of the lobby, hence have to use service entrance
21:23 asciilifeform diana_coman: sounds like the typical 'leper's bell' of 'we do only what's in this here 3ring binder'
21:23 diana_coman I suppose I'm so outside of their corporation worksheet that they just blink for 4 minutes and reset to next point on the checklist
21:24 asciilifeform diana_coman: 'blink for 4min and reset' is very apt summary, sounds like what BingoBoingo's latech grunts did last night when asked 'wtf'
21:24 diana_coman so despite the lovely amd, I think I can't currently stomach its masters.
21:24 asciilifeform diana_coman: sorta why i dun even look at other than colo anymoar
21:24 BingoBoingo asciilifeform: Everytime we did this with the wheeled luggage, the WTC people wanked the same wank, but with the luggage we always did that in one shot and non-issue. Card works normally for normal doors.
21:25 asciilifeform diana_coman: it ~always makes moarsense to physically send in a box, esp. if you have box already. costwise too.
21:26 asciilifeform BingoBoingo: seems like 9000x greater concern for their (indeed mirror-smooth, i nearly slipped on it) marble floor , than for working dc!!
21:26 diana_coman asciilifeform: atm I don't have box ready for this (I wasn't actually prepared for pizarro death, what can I say) + I'd rather know a bit more about those to whom I'm sending boxes, dunno.
21:26 asciilifeform BingoBoingo: hey did they ever fix that button in the lift ?
21:27 * asciilifeform in piz tower pushed what looked like button in the lift, it fell N stories down, and hole -- razor-sharp
21:28 asciilifeform diana_coman: perhaps you will want to locate several boxes , in diff. parks. moar resistance to sudden deaths.
21:30 asciilifeform http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-10-08#1942688 << lobbes , i am prolly the slowest pair of hands here, mp never once misses a chance to remind of this...
21:30 ossabot Logged on 2019-10-08 17:11:48 lobbes: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-10-08#1942586 << I anticipated this response, but not sure how you figure utterly insane.

21:31 BingoBoingo asciilifeform: Ah, sí they fixed that number light thing
21:31 lobbes asciilifeform: I dunno, you got that logotron out at breakneck speedz ( I know you recycled phuctor's www chunks, but still )
21:32 asciilifeform BingoBoingo: lol naturally, can't have broken lamps!111 or smudged floor! who needs a working cable!1111
21:32 asciilifeform lobbes: if asciilifeform appears to do sumthing quickly, it is only because was simple job. ( or terrible kludge piece. )
21:32 lobbes asciilifeform: I guess that was my point; what is simple for you ain't so simple for me
21:33 lobbes not yet at least
21:33 asciilifeform lobbes: i suspect that you will find certain things very simple, that asciilifeform has not strength to even attempt of yet.
21:33 asciilifeform this was tru for e.g. BingoBoingo .
21:34 asciilifeform lobbes ever heard of kuklachev ?
21:34 asciilifeform fella ran a circus in moscow. with housecats .
21:34 lobbes lol, btw, at dc where we learn marble floors > working dc and lifts that don't have booby traps
21:34 asciilifeform they were thought to be untrainable. but turned out that erry cat had a performance that he's willingly do. was matter of finding.
21:35 asciilifeform lobbes: re dc and floors, this is i suspect typical .
21:35 asciilifeform they , like erry scamatron, are more interested in getting new rubes to sign fat contract than to actually service existing. ( esp. if 'new contract' is 'netflix cache' etc )
21:37 BingoBoingo asciilifeform: Brb, disk run
21:40 lobbes asciilifeform: interesting re: kuklachev (I had never heard of him). And I see what you mean, though even when found what a certain cat is willing to do, still must train that cat. I do enjoy what I do/have done here so far, just... I still have much to learn
21:41 asciilifeform naturally 0 cat will perform immediately when plucked from alley.
21:41 asciilifeform still trained.
21:42 * asciilifeform will be the last 1 who is to be asked re training critter, must leave the subj to folx w/ actual high pilotage under their belt, mp & co
21:45 asciilifeform lobbes: speaking strictly for self -- 'quick' jobs are quick because they (incl. 'fit problem in head' phase) can be fit into a single slot in b/w salt mine idjicies. whereas things large enuff as not fit, much moar friction. (erry time must load it in... again, again, ... )
21:47 asciilifeform lobbes: items like this, or this, asciilifeform was able to pull off by burning 'vacation days' .
21:48 asciilifeform ditto phuctor, FG, etc
21:51 asciilifeform which is why when i encounter a fella like shinohai, who has 100% of his time, it boggles my mind that he hasn't built a thermonuclear dirigible simply as a side effect of basic fucking metabolism
21:52 asciilifeform picture, to be able to actually think about something uninterrupted for 3, 4, 10, 100 days!!
21:53 diana_coman asciilifeform: you see the problem on "uninterrupted" but others see it on "think about something" , you know
21:54 asciilifeform diana_coman: this is tru, when i was 7yo also 'had time to think for 100d' but what resulted in was of course not worth to print anywhere ('a good bear but not a good dancer', who wants a 7yo's home-baked diode? )
21:57 diana_coman asciilifeform: did you actually check/press to that last shlex_removal?
21:57 asciilifeform diana_coman: lemme see, 1s (pretty sure i did)
21:58 asciilifeform diana_coman: loox like did. and just nao did again, it presses
21:59 asciilifeform diana_coman: why , didja get eggog ?
21:59 diana_coman asciilifeform: nm, found the trouble, it was corrupted sig file on my end; sorry about the trouble, it's been a long day here.
22:00 asciilifeform hrm, paste.deedbot seems to be dead. ( was it on piz?? i didn't think it were ? )
22:00 asciilifeform diana_coman: ok
22:00 asciilifeform diana_coman: i made same mistake the other day, was convinced i had made a broken patch
22:02 diana_coman asciilifeform: re paste.deedbot it might be ~ http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-10-08#1942251
22:02 ossabot Logged on 2019-10-08 06:06:48 mp_en_viaje: http://trinque.org/wp-content/themes/trinque/style.css << i see the problem now. your browser prolly hangs on this diana_coman ; i have ly set to just ignore
22:02 asciilifeform a.
22:07 * asciilifeform sat down to read some ossasepia while waiting for a compile, and then 'damn, it was on piz!', and qntra, it's like having 4+ phantom limbs...
22:09 asciilifeform 'Нынче вырвалась, будто из плена, весна, / По ошибке окликнул его я: / - Друг, оставь покурить! - А в ответ - тишина: / Он вчера не вернулся из боя.' (tm)(r)(v. vysotsky).
22:16 diana_coman !o version
22:16 ossabot I am bot version 597858.
22:16 diana_coman bot & reader deployed to latest head (aka no shlex-mlex mess); searches with ' should not fail anymore
22:16 diana_coman thank you asciilifeform for the vpatches.
22:17 asciilifeform yw diana_coman .
22:17 asciilifeform now i also wish that could give working boxes, as easily as patch...
22:32 asciilifeform ( oblig drumhead translation :
22:32 asciilifeform 'lately spring broke, from cold, / like from prison, once more, / by mistake once i let out a word: / 'friend, leave a little to smoke!' / silence -- was all i heard, as he never returned from the war.'
22:32 asciilifeform )
22:34 * asciilifeform bbl.
22:35 diana_coman and ukrainians (or so it seems) with servers around europe do not list opterons but are amenable to offer it if one asks.
22:38 asciilifeform diana_coman: know that not in erry box can one even put FG, even if orc willing to open it -- needs a pad of space. asciilifeform deliberately chose such boxes as had this space.
22:39 * asciilifeform genuinely bbl, in a bit
22:47 BingoBoingo asciilifeform and everyone else: All disks are out of the rack with the exception of the RockChip kernel SD cards. Maybe a couple of unused RK spare are hiding in the bilge box. A variety of miscellaneous was recovered as well including the KVM, a couple handfuls of USD ttyls, the unsealed FUCKGOATs that were plugged into RockChips, and for sentimental value the Qntra/DNS server I flew into the country with because it's tiny ass fit in
22:47 BingoBoingo the duffel. Some other bilge ware was recovered.
22:58 BingoBoingo !Qlater tell mod6 I apologize, but I have not yet backed up your server. I will return with the disks, power it on again, and see what I can do with the credentials you passed.
22:58 lobbesbot BingoBoingo: The operation succeeded.
23:01 BingoBoingo When I went earlier and wheeled out the three servers, there were two receptionist girls in the glass box. When I returned on disk mission, there was no one in glass box well before normal departing time.
~ 55 minutes ~
23:56 mod6 Thanks BingoBoingo. If it proves difficult to get logged into the server with the disks in the enclosures; perhaps don't worry about it, can just ship the disks back. But while you're at it, it may be pretty helpful if you pull out the raid card and drive cables to the card and send that along as well.
23:56 lobbesbot mod6: Sent 57 minutes ago: <BingoBoingo> I apologize, but I have not yet backed up your server. I will return with the disks, power it on again, and see what I can do with the credentials you passed.
23:58 asciilifeform BingoBoingo: got it. what remains in the cage ?
23:58 asciilifeform BingoBoingo: and, any final gasps from latech & co ?
23:58 asciilifeform ( the latter largely 'academic' curiosity , but curious )
23:59 asciilifeform mod6: why wouldja want the raid card but not the whole box ?
