asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: i specifically did not want it in piz, cuz already had dark thought re target-rich envir. [00:00]
asciilifeform: '3 smoking from same match' [00:00]
mp_en_viaje: aha [00:01]
asciilifeform: will switch it tomorrow . [00:01]
* asciilifeform wonders what is his remaining use on battlefield. e.g. snsa is approx as alive as piz... [00:03]
asciilifeform: nao i haven't even a logger . [00:05]
asciilifeform: to others, goes the torch of logotron . [00:05]
asciilifeform: diana_coman and lobbes . [00:05]
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 ) [00:06]
asciilifeform: i'ma carry on w/ peh (needs keccak) , perhaps mp_en_viaje & co will still find use for it . [00:07]
mp_en_viaje: well, we can talk about nsa later this week, ima have to write report anyways. one thing at a time neh ? [00:08]
asciilifeform: aite. [00:09]
* asciilifeform will complete 'peh' even when exiled to pluto, imho it needs doin' [00:09]
asciilifeform: i dun expect it will make riches tho. [00:09]
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. [00:10]
asciilifeform: tru [00:10]
* asciilifeform also dealing with a possibly-imploding salt mine, for extra kicks [00:10]
mp_en_viaje: things should be reviewed on merits, and periodically, but on merits and periodically, not whenever got a paper cut. [00:10]
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. [00:11]
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: i can't say i've much to claim as 'merits' in recent time. [00:11]
mp_en_viaje: isn't that a sobering thought. [00:11]
asciilifeform: if were japanese prolly already would have appointed kaishakunin and bought white sheets etc. [00:11]
mp_en_viaje: white sheets are always good to have in any case. [00:12]
asciilifeform: put full throttle since late may into piz & logger. nao have neither. [00:12]
mp_en_viaje: well, actually, your logger is widely distributed and you have it, except for not atm on a box. [00:12]
asciilifeform: ( e.g. 'm' also was for piz. came to 0. ) [00:12]
lobbes: logger vpatch still exists because asciilifeform tho [00:13]
lobbes: mp-wp bot couldn't be a thing without it, for example [00:13]
asciilifeform: lobbes: nao time for the young heroes. [00:13]
mp_en_viaje: i daresay most of the benefit of pizarro was in training you inept tards to some (probably minuscule) degree. [00:13]
mp_en_viaje: that, you also carry with you. [00:13]
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: before piz lost shirt twice. so far most of what learned is 'electrified fence around zone, hurts' ) [00:14]
mp_en_viaje: "not talking to many people you don't know ~= suicide" might've been more productive a lesson. [00:14]
mp_en_viaje: but ultimately, the reason experience's so painfully expensive, is that nobody takes so much from it ever. [00:15]
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. [00:16]
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. [00:16]
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. [00:16]
asciilifeform: *closed [00:16]
mp_en_viaje: right. [00:16]
asciilifeform: last go around, asciilifeform was stuck in 'butugychag' (physically commuted-to hellhole) for 6+mo. [00:17]
asciilifeform: ~0 useful output. [00:17]
asciilifeform: was also when lost good % of net worth in the alphago thing. [00:17]
mp_en_viaje: which was this ? [00:18]
asciilifeform: was in the last days of bitbet. [00:18]
mp_en_viaje: oh oh, google go bot [00:18]
asciilifeform: aha [00:18]
mp_en_viaje: lol, remember the 1k btc berkshire bet ? [00:19]
* asciilifeform actually followed the last convulsions of bbet, and the end of era1, on hidden terminal in a snakepit fulla unspeakable usg stooges [00:19]
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: of course remember [00:19]
mp_en_viaje: good times. [00:20]
asciilifeform: all times eventually remembered as 'good times', is how the meat worx [00:20]
asciilifeform: 'we were younger then'(tm)(r) [00:20]
mp_en_viaje: in my case it's more a case of "oh, remember when the old shcmucks srsly thought they stand a chance ?" [00:21]
asciilifeform: !o seen Mocky [00:21]
ossabot: Mocky last seen here on 2019-09-04 22:48:05: I fell down a rabbit hole [00:21]
mp_en_viaje: but anyways, having now read this 771 line / 19k words log twice, ima to bed. [00:21]
asciilifeform: !o seen-anywhere Mocky [00:21]
ossabot: Mocky last seen in #trilema on 2019-09-04 22:48:05: I fell down a rabbit hole [00:21]
mp_en_viaje: take it easy all. [00:21]
asciilifeform: goodnight mp_en_viaje [00:21]
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 [00:23]
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. [00:23]
ossabot: Logged on 2019-10-07 13:06:49 lobbes: http://logs.ericbenevides.com/log/trilema/2019-10-07#1941226 << The 'first chunk' which spits lines into the mpwp db should be complete by the end of this month (as in patched and ready to go). That's a conservative estimate as well hopefully sooner. [00:23]
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 ? [00:23]
asciilifeform: lobbes: i expect there'll be a where-to-park then. [00:24]
lobbes: seems like folks are aiming towards diana_coman's contact huh [00:25]
asciilifeform: lobbes: afaik the only promising parking atm. [00:25]
asciilifeform: remains to be seen how will behave on battlefield, but so far could be worse [00:25]
asciilifeform: d00d seems willing to colo, gave price. [00:25]
asciilifeform: ( iirc diana_coman took a leased stock machine rather than colo ) [00:26]
lobbes: willing to gpg and accept btc too, it seems [00:26]
asciilifeform: looxlike [00:26]
asciilifeform: this in itself is rare. [00:26]
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 [00:26]
asciilifeform: not 1 of the fucktards i abortively talked to in '17 was willing to eat btc. [00:26]
* asciilifeform might be unusual, but often prefers to pay in orc scrip because sitting on a vehehehery modest and rapidly dwindling pile of btc [00:27]
lobbes: that was why I went with orc scrip with my current hoster. I also have small pile [00:28]
lobbes: even worse, I dun even have a working trb node [00:28]
asciilifeform: lobbes: i had enuff for maybe 1 moar refuel of piz and then fat zero. [00:28]
asciilifeform: piz was also my last working means for buying coin . [00:29]
lobbes: same, I'm glad I bought little bits when it was alive at least. I'll miss those auctions [00:30]
asciilifeform: ~100% of the coin asciilifeform ever had, in fact came from the people here. [00:30]
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 [00:32]
asciilifeform: lobbes: i mined (yes) 1st, on the pile of junkyard fpga i happened to have surrounded self with at the time . [00:33]
asciilifeform: did not want to deal with the 'btc komoyooniti', found it repulsive. [00:33]
asciilifeform: eventually bought a little from 'gox' right before it chernobyled. [00:34]
asciilifeform: then only had from friends, all of whom incidentally still here . [00:34]
asciilifeform: also at one point sold a mythical kingdom to some unknown fella for a little. [00:35]
asciilifeform: that's pretty much it. [00:35]
lobbes: lolwut duckdom [00:36]
asciilifeform: !o s urbit [00:36]
ossabot: 121 results for "urbit" in #trilema [00:36]
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. [00:37]
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. [00:38]
asciilifeform: so normally i see it as 'non-renewable resource', like to sell organs. [00:38]
asciilifeform: as it is, asciilifeform was building boxen, so managed to not only burn most of coin stash on it, but fiatola saving also. [00:39]
asciilifeform: ( asciilifeform cannot safely receive fiatola from humans. so that's where got with what to build. ) [00:40]
lobbes: ah okay, so you arbitraged a shitcoin in a sense [00:40]
asciilifeform: it will be a while before asciilifeform can again participate in building anything that material costs more than electrons . [00:40]
asciilifeform: or to go overseas etc. [00:40]
asciilifeform: had reserved for resupply crate and its contents, tho. [00:41]
asciilifeform: lobbes, diana_coman : logotron tree updated, removed 'shlex' , tested with bare hands on local staging box ( baitbot ! ) , can be used . [00:53]
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) [00:54]
asciilifeform: sigs, that is [00:54]
asciilifeform: iirc lobbes had sigs for existing patches. [00:54]
asciilifeform: bot is unaffected by this patch, diana_coman & lobbes can emplace w/out reset . [00:55]
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 [00:59]
lobbes: and neato re: patch. I still need to apply the detect_disconnect patch as well. Will do that tonight before bed [01:00]
asciilifeform: lobbes: i expect if we all park in same cage , will end in same tears . [01:00]
asciilifeform: i suspect is is a fundamentally bad idea . [01:00]
asciilifeform: that being said, i dun exactly have a list of 9000 cages that known to work. [01:02]
asciilifeform: lobbes, diana_coman , can take the piz banners off yer log www's, they dun go anywhere no moar... [01:04]
lobbes: asciilifeform: this is a point re: parking in same cage. Perhaps couldn't hurt to do some more charting. [01:06]
* 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 [01:08]
asciilifeform: lobbes: if you colo boxen, i rec to take a weekend to learn to use a spot welder [01:08]
asciilifeform: they're inexpensive . [01:09]
asciilifeform: naturally a welded tin can aint a 100 tonne safe . but will be equally impossible to get inside w/out leaving obv. marks. [01:10]
asciilifeform: if yer good about photographing before sending off. [01:10]
* asciilifeform off to pet pets. bbl. [01:24]
lobbes: enjoy! [01:25]
* BingoBoingo back at terminal. Shared machine user data backed up along with databases. asciilifeform Dulap powered down, drives removed [01:40]
* BingoBoingo eats log [01:40]
BingoBoingo: http://trilema.com/forum-logs-for-07-oct-2019#2561204 << S.MG was to buy the two machines through payment of machines in kind [01:46]
asciilifeform: wb BingoBoingo [01:47]
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: plox to use the echatronic loggers [01:47]
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: apologies. Got a tab open for each logger atm. [01:48]
* BingoBoingo off to quickly acquire some nutrition [01:48]
* asciilifeform also [01:48]
BingoBoingo: Oscar did send some new graphs. One seems to show a lot of traffic hitting Latecho near, but not inside out block. https://ibb.co/MBCdf6X https://ibb.co/4NdZGcV https://ibb.co/0K2Z4TK https://ibb.co/zQHs76v [02:38]
BingoBoingo: mod6: To take any backups of your machine, I will need some sort of credentials to log in. [02:40]
BingoBoingo: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-10-07#1941999 << I feel this sting. [02:42]
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. [02:42]
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. [02:53]
lobbes: tmsr is all about embracing one's failure and learning from it, if I've learned anything from being here [02:53]
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?" [03:10]
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 [03:10]
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 [03:11]
BingoBoingo: weight. [03:11]
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 [03:12]
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 [03:14]
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. [03:14]
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. [03:17]
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. [03:20]
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. [03:26]
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 [03:32]
lobbes: but I'm no growth expert! [03:32]
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. [03:34]
* asciilifeform waves [03:36]
* BingoBoingo waves [03:36]
lobbes: heya asciilifeform [03:36]
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: seems that you do not want to be evacuated yourself ? asciilifeform is ready to carry out this duty if BingoBoingo wishes. [03:39]
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i will buy personally for you a ticket to anywhere on planet3. [03:40]
asciilifeform: ( what to do there, is separate q, if i knew i'd buy for self also ! ) [03:40]
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Not looking to evacuate immediately. [03:42]
asciilifeform: aite. [03:42]
asciilifeform: but there's orcbux in reserve for this. as was sworn. [03:42]
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: If you do make it back to the Oriental Republic, however... I am willing to drop everything to make a potroast. [03:43]
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i'ma come if it somehow turns out to be impossible to send the irons as freight, but otherwise must pass. [03:44]
BingoBoingo: That I guessed from the logs. [03:45]
asciilifeform: fwiw i still have the transportation gear, the sacks, paddings, etc. [03:45]
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. [03:46]
BingoBoingo: Those servers are a treasure. [03:48]
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 . [03:49]
ericbot: Logged on 2019-10-08 01:46:08 BingoBoingo: http://trilema.com/forum-logs-for-07-oct-2019#2561204 << S.MG was to buy the two machines through payment of machines in kind [03:49]
asciilifeform: incl. rk. [03:49]
asciilifeform: nuffin should be left to the orcs if it can be helped. [03:50]
lobbes: interesting. I would entertain the idea of buying the rk I am renting (depending on cost of course) [03:50]
asciilifeform: snsa bought its share of piz for FG crate + 2 boxen ( the very smg boxen in fact ) , perhaps mp will accept these back . [03:52]
asciilifeform: imho castle mpstein would be a proper home for the remaining FG's, asciilifeform does not know how long has 'until sepsis' . [03:53]
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. [03:58]
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. [03:59]
asciilifeform: ( and can't move self. i'm a pauper and my pauperty's here . ) [03:59]
asciilifeform: how the fuck do i even say pauperty in eng [03:59]
asciilifeform: y'know, the designated spot where a pauper paups. [04:00]
asciilifeform: паперть . [04:00]
BingoBoingo: Back when england was a thing they tried to keep those from accumulating. [04:01]
asciilifeform: might be false cognate actually. [04:01]
asciilifeform: паперть is the roofed spot in front of church. [04:01]
BingoBoingo: The stoop [04:02]
BingoBoingo: Or on a church the stoople [04:03]
asciilifeform: that. [04:03]
asciilifeform: apparently false cognate tho, the eng is from the latin. [04:03]
BingoBoingo: Of the the places in Uruguay that could draw urban campers... Churchfronts tend not to. [04:05]
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: slavic / orthodox church thing. [04:05]
asciilifeform: the churchgoers were expected to put coin into designated paupers. [04:05]
BingoBoingo: Here they have Catholic, Anglican, Several different kinds of jew, Mormon, the "Christ Scientists" have a giant one... [04:06]
BingoBoingo: Have yet to encounter a distinctly orthodox presenting church in the city. [04:07]
asciilifeform: the big ortho cathedral in timis had a proper pauperty. oddly, no paupers tho. [04:07]
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: fwiw piz was to be also asciilifeform's escape tunnel, but dug not even 1% of it, so is the smallest loss. [04:09]
asciilifeform: i still think that e.g. lobbes could escape. [04:10]
* lobbes is currently in own state of 'regroup', but does have eye on escape eventually [04:10]
* 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... [04:12]
lobbes: bot going down for a few seconds to apply latest two patchen... stand by [04:17]
asciilifeform: wb ericbot . [04:21]
lobbes: !e version [04:21]
ericbot: I am bot version 597858. [04:21]
lobbes: there we go [04:21]
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: At least you don't have the children burden that seems to have claimed so many. [04:21]
asciilifeform: 'on each camel god will put his own sort of load and a straw to break his back' or how did it go. [05:23]
diana_coman: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-10-07#1941886 - I'll fire him an email in a bit thing is I'll be at console some 10 minutes past the austrian-10am [06:51]
ossabot: Logged on 2019-10-07 20:24:24 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 ? [06:51]
* diana_coman is still eating the logs [06:51]
diana_coman: email sent, will continue reading the logs [06:59]
diana_coman: !!up maxim_mivo [08:10]
deedbot: maxim_mivo voiced for 30 minutes. [08:10]
diana_coman: maxim_mivo: you can !!up with deedbot yourself and then it's permanent rather than in 30min slots [08:10]
maxim_mivo: Diana, thanks, done. [08:20]
diana_coman: still waiting for MP atm. [08:22]
diana_coman: maxim_mivo: do you offer colo in Chisinau only or in Romania too or where? [08:23]
maxim_mivo: diana_coman: we offer colocation in Chisinau only. [08:26]
maxim_mivo: Except colocation, all our services are available in Romania, Iasi. [08:26]
diana_coman: mivocloud.com seems to say moscow & oregon too - is that outdated ? [08:27]
maxim_mivo: We provide virtual servers also in USA (Oregon, Missouri) and Moscow [08:28]
diana_coman: maxim_mivo: but do you have infrastructure there ? [08:28]
maxim_mivo: No [08:29]
diana_coman: ok so you have the infrastructure in Chisinau only correct? [08:29]
maxim_mivo: We have our infrastructure in Chisinau and Iasi [08:30]
diana_coman: ah, good. [08:30]
maxim_mivo: Both DCs are interconnected [08:30]
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? [08:31]
* diana_coman waves to mp_en_viaje [08:32]
maxim_mivo: Separate uplinks [08:32]
diana_coman: not bad [08:32]
mp_en_viaje: heya! [08:32]
mp_en_viaje: hi maxim_mivo , thanks for showing up. [08:32]
maxim_mivo: Hi mp_en_viaje, you're welcome. [08:33]
mp_en_viaje: so do you have any idea what ~any of this is or notrly ? [08:33]
maxim_mivo: FIY: i speak romanian, but if other people read this, it's ok to continue in english. [08:33]
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. [08:34]
maxim_mivo: mp_en_viaje: so do you have any idea what ~any of this is or notrly ? What do you mean ? [08:35]
* diana_coman would really rather not talk data centre stuff in Latin [08:35]
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. [08:36]
mp_en_viaje: diana_coman, apparently my questions get ever better in terms of wtf factor as time goes by huh. [08:37]
diana_coman: mp_en_viaje: kind of how it goes, ~always there's more actual history accumulated, after all. [08:38]
mp_en_viaje: true [08:38]
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 [08:41]
maxim_mivo: I don't any searches. Just waiting for questions. [08:42]
maxim_mivo: I have 20 more minutes to stay with you here guys. [08:42]
mp_en_viaje: alight, let's make it short then. [08:42]
mp_en_viaje: the top node is the most serene republic, which is a sovereign. like say the country of romania. [08:43]
mp_en_viaje: this is its forum, the people-who-matter meet here to discuss things-that-matter. like say the parliament of romania. [08:43]
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. [08:44]
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. [08:45]
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 ? [08:45]
maxim_mivo: What does "fg" mean ? [08:46]
mp_en_viaje: it's a hardware rng. i'd link you the specsheet / pics etc but atm its site is down [08:46]
diana_coman: mp_en_viaje: maxim_mivo there's at least the pic lol http://trilema.com/2017/fuckgoats-unboxing-of/ [08:47]
mp_en_viaje: http://trilema.com/2016/fuckgoats-first-batch-assembles-successfully/ << here's some more yeah [08:47]
maxim_mivo: Should we know what that boxes do ? [08:47]
mp_en_viaje: nsa, short for No Such lAbs, is the republic's electronic mfg. [08:47]
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, [08:48]
mp_en_viaje: all sorta shit people do / need / built over time. [08:48]
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 [08:49]
maxim_mivo: OK, got it, we can colocate them. [08:51]
mp_en_viaje: now, for the sake of saving time, let's dump questions : [08:52]
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. [08:52]
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. [08:52]
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 ? [08:52]
mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform, will you want the boxes shipped over to you first to inspect seals and so on ? [08:53]
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. [08:57]
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. [08:58]
maxim_mivo: 3. What payment method will you use ? [08:59]
mp_en_viaje: maxim_mivo, wouldn't be remote, he'd move there. speaks english an' spanish. [09:00]
mp_en_viaje: all payment in bitcoin, it looks like this : http://logs.ossasepia.com/log-search?q=!!pay&chan=trilema [09:01]
maxim_mivo: Sorry, russian, english and romanian are a must. [09:01]
mp_en_viaje: alright. [09:01]
mp_en_viaje: never thought i'd live to see the day speaking romanian's a bar to anything o.O [09:01]
maxim_mivo: Our romanian and moldovan customers don't speak in english with us. [09:02]
mp_en_viaje: well yes, but conceivably being an internet business you might benefit from wider language cover. [09:03]
mp_en_viaje: i dunno, your castle, run it as you please. [09:03]
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. [09:03]
diana_coman: ofc the help page is on trinque.org that seems also down, ugh. [09:04]
mp_en_viaje: was trinque in uy too ?! [09:04]
mp_en_viaje: i recall him not wanting to eggbasket [09:04]
diana_coman: I thought he wasn't but atm I can't access trinque.org nor http://deedbot.org/help.html [09:04]
mp_en_viaje: http://wot.deedbot.org/ << no, it's up [09:04]
diana_coman: that one yes the help though not. [09:04]

mp_en_viaje: http://deedbot.org/help.html [09:05]

maxim_mivo: Sorry, guys. I don't have time to read all your WoT things (no offense). [09:05]

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 [09:06]
maxim_mivo: Does your wallet support to transfer funds to a BTC address ? (i saw on the link you provided it transfers to nicknames). [09:06]
mp_en_viaje: maxim_mivo, yup, !!withdraw 1blablabla [09:06]
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 [09:06]
mp_en_viaje: http://logs.ossasepia.com/log-search?q=!!withdraw&chan=trilema << looks like that. [09:07]
maxim_mivo: When paying the invoice, you'll see a BTC address where you have to transfer the payment. [09:07]
mp_en_viaje: it also has built-in accounting (!!ledger) etc. it's quite useful, and in any case better than some website whatever. [09:07]
mp_en_viaje: maxim_mivo, specifically what i'm asking is if you'll do it here rather than have me load some website. [09:07]
maxim_mivo: I don't think that's possible. [09:08]
mp_en_viaje: aite well. [09:08]
mp_en_viaje: thanks for your time. [09:08]
maxim_mivo: Is there anything more i can help you with ? [09:09]
mp_en_viaje: i don't think so, nope. [09:09]
maxim_mivo: OK, it was a pleasure to talk to you. Have a nice day. [09:09]

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. [09:12]
ossabot: Logged on 2019-10-07 21:25:55 asciilifeform: lobbes: afaik the only promising parking atm. [09:12]
diana_coman: quite possibly because of uninterrupted bad-experience with anything else previously really [09:12]
mp_en_viaje: quite possibly. [09:12]
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". [09:13]
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 [09:14]
mp_en_viaje: you see it in rando cuntlets too, "this is not how i stated i wish to be used". [09:14]
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 [09:15]
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. [09:15]
diana_coman: mp_en_viaje: ah, that myeah it did quite start like that indeed. [09:15]
mp_en_viaje: o look, http://trilema.com/2011/romanul-si-marea/?b=Ce%20face&e=lumea#select is in romanian even! [09:16]
mp_en_viaje: diana_coman, how to re-evaluate tho if no time to read ? it's a chain. [09:16]
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 [09:16]
mp_en_viaje: "no time to read" implicitly includes "i'm done re-evaluatin ganything" [09:16]
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 [09:17]
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. [09:17]
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. [09:18]
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. [09:19]
mp_en_viaje: MAKE time or no time. [09:19]
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) [09:20]
mp_en_viaje: but i don't deem the people with no time as having a life. because wtf life is that, circumvectamur amore. [09:20]
mp_en_viaje: o hai there hanbot_abroad [09:21]
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. [09:21]
mp_en_viaje: this'd be so. [09:22]
mp_en_viaje: no hierarchy -> no time, just as elementarily. [09:22]
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. [09:22]
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. [09:23]

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. [09:29]
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. [09:30]
diana_coman: the way I see it, atm a logger is just about what they can handle anyways. [09:30]
mp_en_viaje: besides, why deny ourselves the benefit of diversity just because definitionally diversity not homogenuous ? it'd be folly writ large. [09:30]

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" [10:10]

asciilifeform: re mod6's and trinque's , is necessary to ask'em , meanwhile also with BingoBoingo . [16:29]
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. [16:34]
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 [16:35]
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 ) [16:37]
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. [16:38]
asciilifeform: ( 'just use ipmi, what are you, terrorist ? ' etc ) [16:38]
asciilifeform: see also . [16:39]
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.) [16:39]
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. [16:39]
asciilifeform: for os, we had a BingoBoingo who physically soldiered in the rack w/ boot sticks etc. [16:40]
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo have you thought about where to put qntra ? i already miss qntra . [16:43]
asciilifeform: would like to see it return asap. [16:43]
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. [16:44]
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 . [16:44]
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: customers will have to get pro-rated refunds, iirc buncha folx refueled just week ago. [16:50]
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 . [16:52]
asciilifeform: folx who want live disks mailed, are to understand that the integrity of their contents cannot be guaranteed. [16:54]
asciilifeform: raid arrays (e.g. asciilifeform's) i recommend to be mailed in N separate envelopes. [16:54]
asciilifeform: a 'last hurrah' of the raid5 functionality. [16:55]
asciilifeform: anyone who has something other than a raid5 and wants disks mailed, plox to indicate. [16:55]
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 . [17:01]
asciilifeform: will of course cost like any other box . [17:02]
asciilifeform: they have quite respectable performance, for e.g. blog and nuffin intelistic inside'em. Gb nic, too. [17:03]
asciilifeform: storage aint restricted to thumb-sized stick, either -- at least 1 subscriber iirc had a full-sized 'samsung' ssd plugged in via snake. [17:04]
asciilifeform: iirc at least 1 had a trb noad going on rk . [17:09]
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Aite, I acquired ratcheting straps for the hand truck. About to get some boxes out. [17:15]
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: use that suitcase you had as cushion (or i suppose could take cab) [17:21]
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: if you roll'em 'naked' on a wheelbarrow, are likely to suffer the fate of harrison's 1st chronometer. [17:22]
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. [17:26]
asciilifeform: aite. [17:33]
asciilifeform: i rec cab for movement of these. [17:34]
asciilifeform: rather than wheelbarrow 3km. [17:34]
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Reasonably smooth .6 km path. Will cab if proceeding delicately on foot is unfeasible. [17:37]
asciilifeform: aite. would be a shame to lose opterons on acct of skimping 5 $ of cab tho. [17:38]
BingoBoingo: Aite. [17:41]

lobbes: asciilifeform: I guess that was my point what is simple for you ain't so simple for me [20:32]
lobbes: not yet at least [20:32]
asciilifeform: lobbes: i suspect that you will find certain things very simple, that asciilifeform has not strength to even attempt of yet. [20:32]
asciilifeform: this was tru for e.g. BingoBoingo . [20:33]
asciilifeform: lobbes ever heard of kuklachev ? [20:33]
asciilifeform: fella ran a circus in moscow. with housecats . [20:33]
lobbes: lol, btw, at dc where we learn marble floors > working dc and lifts that don't have booby traps [20:33]
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. [20:34]
asciilifeform: lobbes: re dc and floors, this is i suspect typical . [20:34]
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 ) [20:35]
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Brb, disk run [20:36]
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 [20:40]
asciilifeform: naturally 0 cat will perform immediately when plucked from alley. [20:40]
asciilifeform: still trained. [20:40]
* 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 [20:42]
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, ... ) [20:45]
asciilifeform: lobbes: items like this, or this, asciilifeform was able to pull off by burning 'vacation days' . [20:47]
asciilifeform: ditto phuctor, FG, etc [20:47]
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 [20:50]
asciilifeform: picture, to be able to actually think about something uninterrupted for 3, 4, 10, 100 days!! [20:51]
diana_coman: asciilifeform: you see the problem on "uninterrupted" but others see it on "think about something" , you know [20:52]
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? ) [20:53]
diana_coman: asciilifeform: did you actually check/press to that last shlex_removal? [20:56]
asciilifeform: diana_coman: lemme see, 1s (pretty sure i did) [20:56]
asciilifeform: diana_coman: loox like did. and just nao did again, it presses [20:58]
asciilifeform: diana_coman: why , didja get eggog ? [20:58]
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. [20:59]
asciilifeform: hrm, paste.deedbot seems to be dead. ( was it on piz?? i didn't think it were ? ) [20:59]
asciilifeform: diana_coman: ok [20:59]
asciilifeform: diana_coman: i made same mistake the other day, was convinced i had made a broken patch [21:00]
diana_coman: asciilifeform: re paste.deedbot it might be ~ http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-10-08#1942251 [21:01]
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 [21:01]
asciilifeform: a. [21:02]
* 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... [21:06]
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). [21:08]
diana_coman: !o version [21:15]
ossabot: I am bot version 597858. [21:15]
diana_coman: bot & reader deployed to latest head (aka no shlex-mlex mess) searches with ' should not fail anymore [21:16]
diana_coman: thank you asciilifeform for the vpatches. [21:16]
asciilifeform: yw diana_coman . [21:16]
asciilifeform: now i also wish that could give working boxes, as easily as patch... [21:17]
asciilifeform: ( oblig drumhead translation : [21:31]
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.' [21:31]
asciilifeform: ) [21:31]
* asciilifeform bbl. [21:34]
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. [21:35]
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. [21:38]
* asciilifeform genuinely bbl, in a bit [21:38]
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 [21:47]
BingoBoingo: the duffel. Some other bilge ware was recovered. [21:47]
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. [21:58]
lobbesbot: BingoBoingo: The operation succeeded. [21:58]
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. [22:00]
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. [22:55]
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. [22:55]
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: got it. what remains in the cage ? [22:57]
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: and, any final gasps from latech & co ? [22:57]
asciilifeform: ( the latter largely 'academic' curiosity , but curious ) [22:58]
asciilifeform: mod6: why wouldja want the raid card but not the whole box ? [22:58]
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform mod6: I plan to return and SSH into the box. [23:00]
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: What remains are all the rails, misc unused adapters and more USB TTYLs, The Rockchip plant, a small mountain of power and network cables, the rackmount power strip, the two switches, and the following 1U servers that will need wheeled out: [23:02]
BingoBoingo: TBF/Mod6, Trinque, UY1/Shared Hosting, S.NSA vacant [23:03]
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: try to get the machines out. errything else after. don't break yer back tho. [23:06]
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: until what day exactly is the rack paid up ? [23:08]
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: It should be paid up through the end of this month per my notes. Then there's + 7 business days, etc, etc per the contract. [23:12]
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: ok. next wheelbarrow plox to rescue trinque and mod6 . then the rest, when you can. [23:13]
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> BingoBoingo: try to get the machines out. errything else after. don't break yer back tho. << Three machines in one trip with wheels went well enough 4 should not be a problem. Without wheels, I am contemplating the logistics as we speak [23:13]
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: the sooner you officially stop the service, the moar likely can recover sumthing from the orcs. tho , as mp pointed out, it is difficult to picture that we'll see a penny [23:15]
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Next dive I want to recover mod6's data, whatever fits in the mochila that isn't the switches or power cables. Then I plan to ask for access to the door for wheels. [23:15]
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: bring the gurl or somebody trusted and hand-carry'em if you must. [23:16]
asciilifeform: nuffin in that rack weighs moar than a roman legionary's kit. theoretically even 1 can carry. [23:17]
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Tonight it is too late to get the cardless girl into the building, but yes I am trying to think of something that will make the servers ergonomic enough to carry. Legionaire's kit is meant to be worn. Server meant to be densly racked. The potential to drop a chassis more than anything is what gives me pause. [23:21]
asciilifeform: diana_coman: here is how FGs went in machine, if this helps. if that space aint there (and in most boxes, in asciilifeform's experience, it aint) then can only put'em by e.g. forgoing raid card and using that space. or in 5in. disk slot (which most also lack.) [23:21]
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: aite. but ideally all the irons will be safely under BingoBoingo's bed tomorrow. [23:22]
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Ideally tomorrow they will all be in the habitation module. If recovering the boxes is hindered, THAT, the hindering, is actionable. [23:24]
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: seems liek already been some hindering today ? [23:24]
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: if busibodies pop outta that woodwork to hinder, get'em on camera. [23:25]
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Latecho hasn't done any hidnering today. Just the lobby tile police. [23:25]
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i fully expect that when you show up to tear up the contract, they'll try to cook up some bullshit re the cage being in arrears . hence wai important to empty it. [23:26]
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: dun have to answer this if aint ready yet, but have you had chance to think , where BingoBoingo will go next ? [23:28]
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Per the contract the cage would have to be in arrears 30 days or longer before they can suspend service, deny access, etc [23:29]
asciilifeform: well, per the contract there was also gonna be a working pipe! [23:29]
asciilifeform: seems that contract atm is in '1 direction' mode, american-style, where 'you owe, and we -- uhm, nuffin' [23:30]
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: also you'll want to at least attempt to get that security deposit back. [23:32]
asciilifeform: !Qlater tell mod6 you presently majority shareholder. asciilifeform -- minority. ( mp is owed and also rightfully has a say. ) let's discuss asap the lawsuit. [23:36]
ericbot: Logged on 2019-10-08 15:01:51 mp_en_viaje: ah yes, they do owe us some money, but i wasn't converted afaik. [23:36]
lobbesbot: asciilifeform: The operation succeeded. [23:36]
asciilifeform: ftr asciilifeform is in favour of using as much of the remaining piggy as BingoBoingo sees fit , in taking it as far as it can be made to go. [23:37]
asciilifeform: at the VERY least oughta recover the week+ of dud service + security dep. [23:39]
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Per my records in the months after they said to stop sending more money for a while, after MP's big incoming wire via Mocky, we spent down much of the security deposit as BTC price was low. [23:40]
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: what means 'much' ? i.e. all ? [23:40]
* BingoBoingo goes for the statement [23:40]
asciilifeform: (re piggy -- dun fughet, BingoBoingo , that we also will have to issue refunds to people who had refueled and then had ??? instead of reachable boxes for week+ ) [23:43]
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Right, that's customer equity [23:44]
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: 1538.58 [23:47]
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: spent ? or remains ? [23:47]
asciilifeform: this re sec deposit ? [23:47]
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: It's the odd balance that remains from security deposit/mega bolus going into the datacenter last fall [23:48]
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: that's genuine money. [23:48]
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: And it is to be pursued. [23:49]
asciilifeform: re customers, yes would rather give'em working boxes, but will have to be refund. [23:49]
ericbot: Logged on 2018-07-24 12:38:09 asciilifeform: oblig su joak : division commander notices that maxim gun emplacement has fallen silent. he walks over , 'comrade gunner, why is your maxim silent' gunner : 'comrade lieutenant, i've run through my belt' lieutenant : 'BUT YOUR ARE A COMMUNIST!' ... the maxim promptly begins to chatter again !
