| jfw: | Well that might be my record on weekly review length, if not timeliness. Now if I can work that ratchet in the other direction... | [01:58] |
| diana_coman: | BingoBoingo_: got it, will have a look later today, thank you. | [03:23] |
| diana_coman: | jfw: here's for you to change direction then, courtesy of Kafka himself. | [03:26] |
| diana_coman: | jfw and dorion_road you should both have quite a few passes of tech and governance ; not in a hurry nor all of the passes crammed "this week" but gradually until it sticks. | [03:56] |
| diana_coman: | dorion_road: see in #t. | [09:15] |
| dorion_road: | http://ossasepia.com/2020/04/21/ossasepia-logs-for-25-Nov-2019#1011334 << Thank you, I'll add it to my weekly reading and make the French passages part of my French practice until it sticks. | [13:06] |

| diana_coman: | dorion_road: heh, that's from Pascal there. | [13:07] |
| diana_coman: | can't go wrong using Pascal for French practice, for sure. | [13:07] |
| dorion_road: | diana_coman nice. I'm getting caught up in #t. | [13:09] |
| BingoBoingo: | diana_coman: Your server is in Fedex's hands. Will GPGgram you the tracking number in a bit. With a bit more than 12 feet of bubblewrap the package came to an even 15kg on the scale. | [14:35] |
| diana_coman: | BingoBoingo: thank you. | [14:36] |
| diana_coman: | that will be interesting to ferry from the not-so-royal post office if it ends up in that middle of nowhere, huh. | [14:39] |
| diana_coman: | BingoBoingo: invoice me at your earliest convenience please. | [14:40] |
| BingoBoingo: | diana_coman: I rolled it a bit more than 1 km to the fedex office on a hand truck. It was a bit sweaty, but with the padding I'm not concerned about it getting any bumps | [14:40] |
| diana_coman: | ah, no worries re that; I was simply picturing myself having to handle the thing, lol; I'll have to draft in a helper. | [14:41] |
| BingoBoingo: | diana_coman: Will do. Going to get part of jurov's into the mail and should fire all invoices this evening. | [14:41] |
| BingoBoingo: | diana_coman: The dimensions make it a bit awkward, but if you can still lift the child, a couple maneuvers to put the server somewhere are probably doable. The box and bubble wrap make it much easier to grip. | [14:43] |
| diana_coman: | yeah, child is more like 22kg and still fine, lolz. | [14:44] |
| diana_coman: | no worries really. | [14:45] |
| asciilifeform: | diana_coman: didja buy rails ? if not , vendor's 'CSE-PT52L' kit -- fits. i've found that e.g. 'dell' rails do not fit 'supermicro' boxen. | [14:45] |
| diana_coman: | asciilifeform: first I'll have to study this inside out with a cat's curiosity because yes. | [14:46] |
| diana_coman: | but there will be rails at some point too, so thank you for the pointer. | [14:46] |
| BingoBoingo: | asciilifeform diana_coman: I managed to break down the rails and make them fit. | [14:46] |
| asciilifeform: | aa, so nm. | [14:46] |
| diana_coman: | oh, thank you BingoBoingo | [14:47] |
| BingoBoingo: | asciilifeform: I can't recommend Dell rails for anything. The spring loaded locking mechanism they use is way too finicky to choose with any other options at all available. | [14:47] |
| asciilifeform: | BingoBoingo: like complete idiot, i bought, coupla months ago, 100kg of rails. then only later found, they were 'dell' garbage, fits only ~their~ machines. | [14:48] |
| diana_coman: | pictures asciilifeform-on-rails | [14:49] |
| asciilifeform: | put this here cuz iirc diana_coman & students making racks, so perhaps can learn from asciilifeform's mistake. apol. for spam if uninteresting . | [14:50] |
| diana_coman: | asciilifeform: ah, don't take it that way please; no spam at all and thank you. | [14:50] |
| diana_coman: | and yes, it is interesting. | [14:51] |
| BingoBoingo: | asciilifeform: How they fit the Dell Machines is also a pain. It took some reps to get the knack for taking supermicro railed machines in and out of the rack, but once the thumbwork for that clicks in the muscle memory it's a reliable system. | [14:51] |
| asciilifeform: | diana_coman: if you end up wanting own rk cluster, may also find this helpful. (i did promise photos/recipe.) | [14:52] |
| snsabot: | (asciilifeform) 2019-11-17 asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: you may find interesting the new rk system , mounted last night. | [14:52] |
| asciilifeform: | the shelf in photo is a 'Rising Electronics Fixed Rack Server Shelf 1U', the rails -- aluminum standard DIN rails; rivets & screws -- M3 . | [14:53] |
| diana_coman: | I saw the shiny new RK photo too, looked very cool; tbh my reserve re RK is re ARM ie why do I need ARM given that it's also not exactly free (eg GNAT still no-worky) | [14:53] |
| asciilifeform: | this is entirely tru, diana_coman , afaik no one yet found a pill for that gnat bug on arm64. | [14:54] |
| asciilifeform: | until found, they're only good for 'lamp' & similar. | [14:54] |
| asciilifeform: | ( for thread-completeness -- the dc power supply is this chinese item, 'Mixilin 2019 60 port'. ~100 $. there are many vendors making similar. ) | [14:57] |
| asciilifeform: | ^ ps of course dun come w/ a din clamp, but it does come apart and then bottom drilled & riveted to clamp. sits as if glued, and good thermal conduct. | [15:03] |
| jfw: | diana_coman: attempting a rough translation of the kafka: | [16:40] |
| jfw: | "Ach", said the mouse, "the world narrows with every day. First it was so wide that I was afraid; I ran further and was lucky to finally see right and left to the far walls; but these long walls are rushing so fast to join together, that I'm already in the last room, and there in the corner stands the trap I'm running into." / "You need only alter your direction of running", said the cat, and ate | [16:41] |
| jfw: | her. | [16:41] |
| dorion_road: | thanks for the update in #t jfw. My 21:30 meeting was moved up, headed afk for a couple hours now. | [16:41] |
| jfw: | alright good luck. Working on reply to wallet comments too. | [16:42] |
| dorion_road: | cool. | [16:42] |
| jfw: | dorion_road: want to tackle the French for me? :) | [16:42] |
| diana_coman: | jfw: translation works! | [17:23] |
| diana_coman: | "and was lucky" -> "and was happy" | [17:28] |
| diana_coman: | glucklich is a false cognate there, not lucky. | [17:29] |
| jfw: | huh. I left it as a proper comment too btw. | [17:29] |
| diana_coman: | comment published | [17:30] |
| diana_coman: | ach would be oh maybe? or if you go for full feeling there perhaps alas! | [17:32] |
| jfw: | could work. With glucklich I wasn't going entirely by cognate, looks like it can be 'fortunate', and there's 'frohlich' for happy; I do see 'happy' fitting better in the sentence though. | [17:35] |
| jfw: | Using dict.cc , don't have a proper all-DE dictionary handy. | [17:37] |
| diana_coman: | do you speak German? | [17:37] |
| jfw: | Nicht sehr gut aber ich studierte in der Schule. | [17:38] |
| diana_coman: | pas mal. | [17:38] |
| jfw: | aber le francais nein. | [17:39] |
| diana_coman: | any other languages? | [17:40] |
| jfw: | besides the spanish nothing serious | [17:41] |
| diana_coman: | eh, doesn't need to be "serious", what. | [17:44] |
| jfw: | heh, well then, there was some Esperanto (lolz) a while back; then I did some basic level audio courses in a couple: Cantonese (before I decided on Panama), Hungarian (part of the family came from there), an' Romanian (because Trilema) | [17:49] |
| jfw: | Also studied Greek and Cyrillic script / pronunciation. | [17:51] |
| diana_coman: | so can you read those? | [17:51] |
| jfw: | sound out, kinda; not understand. | [17:52] |
| diana_coman: | anyways, after the first 10 languages or so, it gets very easy :)) | [17:53] |
| diana_coman: | but I gather it's you I should throw the Ro-blocks of text at, notes. | [17:53] |
| jfw: | heh, I'd give 'em a shot. | [17:54] |
| diana_coman: | now looks wtf is wrong with that old comment that is out of place in there. | [17:54] |
| diana_coman: | jfw: yes, you should publish that Gales & docs too (I heard you have very good docs, yay!). | [18:32] |
| jfw: | Will do diana_coman, and we'll see how the docs measure up. | [18:36] |
| whaack: | diana_coman: EOD / midday report. 6.5 hour of saltmines complete, i have to go drop off the car right now which is going to take me a little over 2 hours, when I get back I will do 2 hours of work related to ordering parts. | [19:14] |
| diana_coman: | whaack: ok. | [19:14] |
| whaack: | diana_coman: Of course 5 seconds after I send that message surfpal messages saying he will meet me much closer. I now have 1 hour before I have to leave for about 1 hour. I will get started on ordering parts. | [19:22] |
| diana_coman: | that surfpal of yours is expert at wasting your time really. | [19:22] |
| whaack: | diana_coman: Well I don't deny that but I was still grateful to have this change of plans. | [19:23] |
| diana_coman: | at least so far it seems it might work for the best, yes. | [19:23] |
| whaack: | diana_coman: Is the Dell P2419H [https://www.dell.com/en-us/work/shop/accessories/apd/210-aqdx?mkwid=sQNLKHVIV&pcrid=396949429362&pkw=\%2Bp2419h&pmt=b&pdv=c&slid=&product=&pgrid=81127580801&pgrid=81127580801&ptaid=kwd-506909789223&ptaid=kwd-506909789223&VEN1=sQNLKHVIV,396949429362,901q5c14135,c,,,81127580801,kwd-506909789223&VEN1=sQNLKHVIV,39694942936 | [19:32] |

| whaack: | er? | [19:32] |
| whaack: | sorry for that atrocious link. | [19:32] |
| diana_coman: | lolz. | [19:35] |
| diana_coman: | sounds ok re usual basic characteristics but monitors are a matter of personal preference & use really. | [19:36] |
| whaack: | diana_coman: I have some good news. I heard back from pcgamingcr. They have the fx-8350 + a GA-970A-UD3P rev 2 mother board + Gigabyte GTX 770 4GB video card. The mother board and video card seem to acceptable replacements to the ones I had chosen, I will give them a second review tomorrow morning. | [23:19] |
