I'm going to try contacting the people I bought the K-25m from; they're a repair shop too

whitequark: it what?
<whitequark>
Sarayan: i don't know either
<whitequark>
but the tracking updated yesterday and it actually got sent out
<whitequark>
i should've told you to use EMS but it slipped from my mind somehow

whitequark: what I used is *supposed* to go through ems
<Sarayan>
not sure what happened
<cr1901_modern>
##yamahasynths is cursed for sending/receiving packages
<whitequark>
Sarayan: wtf
<Sarayan>
wq: and the tracking on my said said it was in your country something like three days after sending
<Sarayan>
on my side
<Sarayan>
I just really hope it's not lost
* Sarayan
tries to do workstuff but fuck I'm fried
<Sarayan>
I had a meeting this morning I was a little wary about. It actually went very, very well, but the adrenaline drop is rather tiring
<whitequark>
Sarayan: wait what
<whitequark>
which tracking? 17track would just show one useless item...
<whitequark>
are you sure you didn't typo the tracking #?
<Sarayan>
"The EMS service in France is provided by La Poste under the brands Chronopost and Colissimo."
<Sarayan>
"Not allowed to track item CC828032230FR " on the ems page, nice
<Sarayan>
I can start bitching on my side, but it may be more efficient on yours
<whitequark>
Sarayan: it does not exist on my side
<whitequark>
at all
<Sarayan>
if you can find someone to talk to
<whitequark>
none of the russian tracking systems we talked to even consider this tracking # to exist
<whitequark>
and accordingly there's nothing any officials can do
<Sarayan>
wow
<Sarayan>
that's impressive
<whitequark>
the only service besides laposte.fr that can track it is 17track
<whitequark>
we've been pestering the office for a month, ever since 15th
<whitequark>
they are at a loss just like us
<whitequark>
first time i've seen this happen with a ems parcel. or really any tracked parcel.
<Sarayan>
ok, time to bitch on my side
<Sarayan>
I love that it's supposed to still be transiting
<whitequark>
yea
<whitequark>
i'm going to get the adc and everything in 1-2 days if i didn't mess up that order too
<Sarayan>
from moscow to your place must be extremely far
<whitequark>
lol
<Sarayan>
like, mars-far
<Sarayan>
maybe even jupiter-far at that point
<Sarayan>
well, I have a bug to fix, and once it's done I'll go to the post office
<whitequark>
sounds good
<Sarayan>
(I have the debugger open and everything :-)
<whitequark>
Sarayan: >If your item was sent by International Air, the barcodes starting with CC, CV or LI are parcel references only (i.e. not tracking numbers). They are not sold as "trackable" service and therefore cannot be tracked using our online tracking tool.
<whitequark>
that's *definitely* not EMS
<Sarayan>
wtf?
<whitequark>
and they might not offer you any guarantee on whether it arrives either :/
* Sarayan
is in a hell of zero-cost-my-asstractions
<whitequark>
Sarayan: wtf#2
<whitequark>
so it turns out that in russia, you need to replace the initial "CC" with "EB"
<whitequark>
and THEN it tracks
<Sarayan>
mwahahaha
<Sarayan>
beautiful
<whitequark>
and yes it got sent back to FR 4 days ago for unknown reasons
<whitequark>
one attempted delivery
<Sarayan>
what?
<whitequark>
they never notified or called us
<Sarayan>
I didn't have your phone number, so I didn't put it on
<whitequark>
oh
<Sarayan>
that may have been an issue
<whitequark>
shit, I didn't give you a phone # ? :/
<Sarayan>
nope
<whitequark>
my bad
<whitequark>
but, their bad too
<Sarayan>
yeah
<whitequark>
they are obliged to put a notification
<whitequark>
they absolutely did not at any point
<whitequark>
or rang the door
<whitequark>
there was someone home almost all this time
<Sarayan>
heh, you pretty much never go out if I understand correctly
<whitequark>
yes but I also sleep during the day a lot
<whitequark>
it helps with hyperacusis
<whitequark>
because I don't care about anything when I sleep, but if I don't, sometimes quiet city noises drive me up the wall
<whitequark>
sent you the phone #
<Sarayan>
emailed it to myself :-)
<whitequark>
actually let me repeat the address too
<whitequark>
just in case
<Sarayan>
well, gonna try to fire it your way again once I have it back
<whitequark>
alright
<Sarayan>
Think I gonna crank up the level of tracking I guess
<Sarayan>
You gave me the "occidental" version of the first name the first time, is that a problem?
<Sarayan>
the rest of the address is 100% identical
<whitequark>
the name doesn't matter, they must have put a notification in our postbox OR left a sticker on our door
<whitequark>
neither of those happened
<Sarayan>
great, just great
<whitequark>
the names are generally checked with a huuuuge fudge factor bc almost everyone abroad tends to misspell names all the time
<whitequark>
I'm not really sure what is up with RU EMS
<whitequark>
it's a bit of a double sided issue
<Sarayan>
first name, not even the family name
<whitequark>
on one hand they are more legally liable for the integrity
<whitequark>
on the other hand they appear to be significantly more happy to send a parcel back than to try to deliver it
<whitequark>
the other time marcan sent me something and I had to fish the courier out quite laborously
<whitequark>
the asshole called me once, tried to deliver it while I was sleeping, and decided his job here is done forever
<whitequark>
normal registered post doesn't do that. they do their job well. the post office that is.
<whitequark>
but if it goes missing *en route* there is nothing they can do, and this sometimes happens. rarely but it does
<whitequark>
kind of like availability vs consistency in distributed systems. you can only have one :)
<cr1901_modern>
Isn't it you can only have tw- oh, I see what you did there

Lord_Nightmare. Sarayan: This is a loaded question, but... strictly speaking, MAME wasn't actually FOSS until relatively recently (compared to it's full lifespan), despite the source being available, correct?
