asciilifeform: everyone already owns a bag of sata disks.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: that way, user can swap the disk at his pleasure
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the logical way to set these up, i think, is to boot from attached disk if one is found; otherwise from internal eeprom, which ought to contain an automatic 'everything-installer' (of our distribution.)
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: does he actually do two-way traffic in those, or does he simply have a perl script to broadcast his utterances every which way.
asciilifeform: TomServo: my working hypothesis is that, for a figure like taleb, the whole net smells a little too much of taaki and sexyginger et al
asciilifeform: 'Currently, an individual's cyber behavior is not checked during the security clearance investigative and adjudicative process because legal and privacy limits have not been clearly defined... ... Because the Army's demographic includes many young Soldiers, security clearance investigations often cover a shorter period of time... ... While this poses some risks, the overwhelming majority of these Soldiers have proven that they
asciilifeform: mats: net-connected air filters, etc. << the 'hammurabic' punishment for having built such a thing ought to be, perhaps, to be placed in a net-connected electric chair for a few days. can be turned on by, e.g., an snmp packet.
asciilifeform: sc4mz0rz in 'tilt mode' are so very entertaining.
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: your cloak doesn't work.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: perhaps we have your new pc here.
asciilifeform: 'If the bootROM detects the 64-bit UART boot pattern (0xBB 0x11 0x22 0x33 0x44 0x55 0x66 0x77) injected by the user, as an indication to start the Xmodem protocol and the UART boot process); it configures the appropriate MPPs to operate as UA0_RXD and UA0_TXD, as in the previous sub-section and starts the Xmodem protocol to load the image from UART to the DDR.'
asciilifeform: mod6: a few days ago, I had been looking mapOrphanBlocks as a possible reason that it runs itself out << see my earlier 'valgrind' experiments.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: probably among the most famous examples thereof
asciilifeform: (cost of production drops, sure, but eventually hits barriers that have nothing much to do with semiconductors)
asciilifeform: i have a 0.8 node that does crash quarterly or so. bitcoin-msghand[15569]: segfault at 0 ip 0000000000blahblah sp 0000blahblahblah error 4 in bitcoind[400000+303000]☟︎☟︎
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: mine certainly did not. leaks? yes.
asciilifeform: mod6: i picked up the sata-enabled 'pogo', will devote an hour or two to giving it a shot this weekend.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu posed a question re: what might be the cheapest reasonably-compact machine that will run 0.5.3.
asciilifeform: mod6, ben_vulpes: as i understand, if the hypothetical node has a working oomkill mechanism, it will - mostly - run without intervention
asciilifeform: jurov, ben_vulpes, mod6, mircea_popescu - if one of you presently has a 0.5.3.x in a vm, try running under hard constraint of 128 or 256m. see when croaks.
asciilifeform: again, i have not tried these machines.
asciilifeform: jurov: their 'p22' appears to ship with 256m. ~25 usd.
