— gwern is pleased he kept meticulous notes while setting up the original box so it's barely like 30 minutes to get the entire thing installed, formatted, ssh key-based logins working, basic perf optimizations like disabling reserved root blocks done etc. now just have to wait for the sycing from the old server to the new server, which should be fairly fast - they don't seem to be in the same

— gwern datacenter, but it'll still be quick

gwern: make me an account
20:42:31 
Also give me your notes
20:42:40 
Decided to use notion for that
20:42:46 
Currently setting up the org
20:42:50 <gwern> Gwern Branwen 
you have your own big boxen don't you? but sure, send me a ssh fingerprint thingy
20:43:03 <shawwwn> Shawn Presser 
No sorry. Because
20:43:29 
I had $1k venmo balance
20:43:42 
Long before I had any bank account
20:43:50 
All payments must go through this bank account
20:44:04 
Bank account is finally set up
20:44:11 
I transfer 100 from venmo. It shows up
20:44:13 
I celebrate
20:44:17 
I transfer remaining 900
20:44:23 
NOTHING
20:44:52 
Venmo shows the transfer
20:44:58 
US bank shows zilch
20:45:15 
It’s been stuff like this literally from the weekend till today
20:45:51 
So, I could theoretically buy the boxen. But we would then run out of money within two months.
20:45:56 
I guess I should just buy it
20:46:10 
Anyway I’ll call us bank and figure out wtf
