asciilifeform: and already found one small mistake

asciilifeform: ---

asciilifeform: how would any of it untar

asciilifeform: i mean, if you lacked tar,

asciilifeform: how else

asciilifeform: decimation: i think local tar ends up untarring things

asciilifeform: having meatspace friends who program must be fun

asciilifeform: wherever i go

asciilifeform: trinque: i like to mark code that folks can use to kill themselves, with it

asciilifeform: make sure it pulled down the same tarballs

asciilifeform: see earlier thread

asciilifeform: decimation: hash your manifest

asciilifeform: ('nope' as in, i did not patch anything remotely close to there)

asciilifeform: what was building ?

asciilifeform: or rather,

asciilifeform: nope.

asciilifeform: and modern 'brogrammer' wipes his arse with it

asciilifeform: for a year.

asciilifeform: i remember saving to buy an 8M stick.

asciilifeform: there was a time when folks would have -killed- for 128M.

asciilifeform: just thinking,

asciilifeform: trinque: and now that you baked, read the patch. it will begin to make sense.

asciilifeform: now who'll be next.

asciilifeform: congrats trinque !

asciilifeform: trinque: 'turdel' ? or you built with recipe

asciilifeform: (how come almost 8M? u-boot takes gzipped kernels, of course.)

asciilifeform: instead of chore

asciilifeform: this is almost linux as it was when it was a joy

asciilifeform: (and see log.)

asciilifeform: (small machine, example, http://www.hootoo.com/hootoo-tripmate-nano-ht-tm02-wireless-portable-router.html )

asciilifeform: (great for eating as part of a balanced diet with linuxbios)

asciilifeform: incidentally no reason not to do a rom-able x86 build at some point

asciilifeform: and using small machines becomes thinkable.

asciilifeform: thus we get almost the entire 128M to play with

asciilifeform: ^ some of the 7.7M is the kernel, but most is the ramdisk, which won't exist in the battlefield version

asciilifeform: Mem: 7748K used, 115328K free, 44K shrd, 0K buff, 2768K cached

asciilifeform: apparently.

asciilifeform: it wants .txt

asciilifeform: there we go.

asciilifeform: deedbot- http://dpaste.com/2S1W3X0.txt

asciilifeform: deedbot- http://dpaste.com/3VDY1C1.txt

asciilifeform: wat.

asciilifeform: deedbot- http://www.loper-os.org/pgp.asc

asciilifeform: syntax?

asciilifeform: beyond being in l1 ?

asciilifeform: i was supposed to -do- something ?

asciilifeform: wai wat

asciilifeform: ^ thrown to mailinglist

asciilifeform: http://therealbitcoin.org/ml/btc-dev/2015-March/000075.html

asciilifeform: wat

asciilifeform: deedbot- http://dpaste.com/2S1W3X0.txt

asciilifeform: ... ?

asciilifeform: deedbot-: http://dpaste.com/2S1W3X0.txt

asciilifeform: ^ mine

asciilifeform: http://dpaste.com/2K9GBR5.txt

asciilifeform: if it has a package, it won't load again

asciilifeform: the dl directory

asciilifeform: is what i was speaking of.

asciilifeform: aha that yes.

asciilifeform: and ultimately stronger, because nothing snarfed in from the os

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: buildroot builds and uses own toolchain, in a kind of jail. so it is very convenient to have the whole thing build inside it

asciilifeform: (source packages. there are no other kinds in this)

asciilifeform: 2) study the package system. the dependencies of bitcoind would ideally be added as packages

asciilifeform: (virginal buildroot loads them -from the net- and afaik does not check signatures)

asciilifeform: 1) freezing the sourceballs in time

asciilifeform: anyway, the two most urgent items on the agenda for this thing are:

asciilifeform: (yes, flashes changes from in itself)

asciilifeform: saveenv

asciilifeform: -and-

asciilifeform: likewise setenv

asciilifeform: if you have serial port (or the netconsole thing set up)

asciilifeform: you can printenv from uboot console

asciilifeform: decimation: because this is a buildrootism and has nothing to do with me

asciilifeform: decimation: what machine / gcc ?

asciilifeform: with your date/time

asciilifeform: ^ is what you get if built correctly.

asciilifeform: Linux therealbitcoin 3.18.1-therealbitcoin.org #2 PREEMPT Sat Mar 28 22:09:20 EDT 2015 armv5tel GNU/Linux

asciilifeform: # uname -a

asciilifeform: wat

asciilifeform: if i make it to the middle - i do it. otherwise, trying to leave enough of a record here for the next fella.

asciilifeform: but this is for after the war.

asciilifeform: (with support for bounds checking and other adaisms)

asciilifeform: could very easily be a bitcoind-optimized cpu arch.

asciilifeform: and custom si doesn't imply 'set in stone' necessarily

asciilifeform: as in, a box that isn't used for anything else.

asciilifeform: i said 'device'

asciilifeform: i didn't say 'custom ic'

asciilifeform: easy to swap device, no ?

asciilifeform: ... a device.

asciilifeform: i'd go further

asciilifeform: aha.

asciilifeform has been thinking about this for a long time.

asciilifeform: wedged bitcoind - wedged machine

asciilifeform did not like the lack of process separation inherent in it

asciilifeform also considered this

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: 'menstrual extraction' ?

asciilifeform: but grub is x86-centric

asciilifeform: (iirc it can even set up x64 mode if asked)

asciilifeform: grub does init surprisingly much

asciilifeform: aha.
