Sorry, a lot going on this morning. I'll try to get you guys an update soon! Still excited getting these out.
Alright, all set, completed the maintenance and sending out emails that was taking up my time this morning. For the servers, I'm now just adding a few finishing touches, have to get them back out the boxes as I forgot a few things.
Shooting to get at least the few servers out for Phoenix and Seattle by this evening and drive over to LA1 a little past midnight.
(edit) Finished cloning the USBs as I was writing this out.
Virmach diaries.
Dear diary, today I attached rails to the servers. I kept putting them on backwards and had to redo it. I hated it.
Hopefully they won't get derailed.
You can take a break, take a cup of coffee. Too bad you don't have some tamalitos over there.
Then you can continue delivering some good prizes.
After that you continue attaching those things to the servers.
I'm waiting.

Running into difficulties with the rails and BIOS flash. I was going to attach them/have outer rails set up to some degree to avoid having DC hands doing it but it doesn't want to fit in the box. These rails are really finnicky with bad instructions, I'll have to organize the screws and put some labels on.
For the BIOS, I just need to find a very specific cable for a specific monitor. The servers we needed were pretty much prepared/installed, and then we very recently moved our work space for assembling/testing servers, and it's just misplaced. Tried opening a suitcase full of cables we have and somehow cut open a finger and spent the last 30 minutes looking for bandaids, lol. I'm ordering a cable overnight just in case but I have some hope in finding it. This just means I might end up focusing on Los Angeles for the rest of the night and switch over to shipping Phoenix & Seattle very first thing in the morning before things get busy again.
So far today, two red bulls, one coffee, and a 5 hour energy.
That is a "tamalito verde".
In Peru you know the food is incredible delicious when the noun has a diminutive: the -ito suffix in this case.
So a delicious "tamal verde" becomes a "tamalito verde".
Or pollito frito. Or chuafita. Or sopita. Or lomito saltado.
Maybe it applies for other countries but I don't know.
I won't charge for the peruvian spanish lessons for today guys, no worries.
He doesn't want flashes today.
Don't sleep!
That all looks so good. I want some -ito's...
Here we have burritos, and we used to have Taco Bell Chilitos (meat-and-bean-chili and cheese burritos), but I'm told that was a bad word in Mexico so they discontinued those. Very delicious though.
Also Fritos (curled corn chips). And taquitos (little rolled up puffy fried shells with chicken and cheese inside. And Doritos (nacho cheese flavored tortilla chips)..
@VirMach you're really making progress now! Still, sounds like you are overworked. Are you hiring?
Yes we are but we are in a weird position right now and will probably wait until some of the colocation stuff cools down first.
Update: I'm still here, not enough energy to haul servers to LA to set them up but just about the right amount to make sure I'm at UPS around 8AM 9AM when they open. BIOS updates were completed, USB attached, rails removed. Had to catch up with other work, so I'm organizing the rails right now and have two hours before they open. Will try to remember to take some photos.
Fritos doesn't have a diminutive. Neither Doritos.
Burritos has it, but I think that's the real name of the food. You don't ask for a Burro (because that would be a donkey)
But I'm not Mexican.
@imok I could eat a donkey right now, but it's too cold to get up and make breakfast.
I wish Fr and Dor existed and I had some.
Just soldering this controller back onto a 4TB NVMe real quick and then I should head out.
Yeah, so I forgot to swap out one of the default plastic "heatsinks" on one of them as I was quadruple checking everything and the adhesive sure is strong... but all jokes aside, I'm going to ship out Phoenix right now and I'll be back to fix this Seattle server (replace the NVMe) and make another trip to send those.
This is probably going to cut into planned migrations so Seattle might have to wait until the evening, I don't see any reason I won't be able to send it out today though.
HOW THE FUCK
I don't understand anything. I don't know much about hardware.
Is it a joke or something?
Does Peru have good dishes catering to folks not eating eggs/ meat/ seafood?
Real question is what do you eat.
not eating eggs/ meat/ seafood.
Vegetarian - anything is good to eat.
Well... There should be something.
I don't know.
I don't like vegetables, which is bad.
I remember my mother trying to make me take the vegetables soup... No no no.
I'd like some pepinillos con lechuga with some lemon and salt though
