mircea_popescu: <trinque> as if I don't have enough going on :p << hey, in my spare time i'm designing a fucking game. up to my neck in, of all things, mysql!
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron we want os on the disk like we want wallets on windows.
mircea_popescu: anyway, if anyone listening would like to try his hand at "make your fave os 128mb in eeprom"...
mircea_popescu: nubbins` the 128mb is the reason none of this flies. they all crawl so far.
mircea_popescu: so basically, i surmise, we'd have liked a clean "os in eeprom, data on disk" arrangement, but it seems we're not actually capable to do this, and so as a backstop you tried a few oses to go on disk
mircea_popescu: gotta go with an os brewed by someone with some experience so as to have at least a fighting chance the whole thing works.
mircea_popescu: dude this "let's try pluging things see what happens" approach only works if you actually test, and you're not tooled for the mindboggling thing this testing would be.
mircea_popescu: but iirc, a lot of valuable effort went into selecting and pepraring the os. what do you mean "it could be debian" ?
mircea_popescu: ok, so : pogo = arch as per ascii, static new bitcoind 32 bit as soon as foundation can bang it out.
mircea_popescu: "which happened to run on a magically garbage collected computor that doens't exist anymore"
mircea_popescu: they get it from a dead drop or something, and well, whatever. go to conferences.
mircea_popescu: basically, this would be prima facie evidence that the code the power rangers sign has very little to do with them.
mircea_popescu: they think "it may be fixed" because "anectodally" it doesn't seem to have displayed the behaviour.
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron everything's becoming obsolete eventually. but no, this isn't that.
mircea_popescu: mod6 so the emerging problem here is that while i said "ok" to 64 bit only foundation bitcoind, it turns out when need 32 bit support for our own fucking projects, which notably is the pogo.
mircea_popescu: o fucking hell check out the gross mismanagement i managed to bless the world with.
mircea_popescu: so then the master here becomes, arch as per ascii, static as per current foundation release.
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron can you try it ? on a like... 3rd pogo ?
mircea_popescu: so basically, you put archlinux according to ascii_field's brew on the pogo, and then compiled a static foundation bitcoind and loaded that up, and that's what we have now ?
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron so what exactly is it, how did it end up on arch ?
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo im gonna unwind this thing cause i think it ran into a problem.
mircea_popescu: anyway. so archlinux ? what happened to netbsd or w/e ?!
mircea_popescu: "dude, get into this thing you're great for it pays excellent" "oh, i do ok... and i know what food costs." "listen to me... you're not supposed to know what food costs."
mircea_popescu: you have any idea how fucking ~rare~ an actual talent for technical writing is ?
mircea_popescu: no but this nut's fucking talented, look at this thing.
mircea_popescu: stop wasting your time with whatever. you have any idea what shortage is for these ?
mircea_popescu: i haven't seen asciiart technical drawings in documents since the 90s.
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron link me to your last version of "how to" again plox ?
mircea_popescu: cool. so then, these things are pretty much ready to launch are they ?
mircea_popescu: ascii_field the way system engineering is done, is either do not fix a problem, or else fix the problem. adding a problem++ to the list at the cost of a weekend is not on this list.
mircea_popescu: yes and he's doing his job to the best of his abilities.
mircea_popescu: o look at those kulaks over there... THEY have to do things right.
mircea_popescu: or anything else for that matter, deedbot, cardano, eulora, name it.
mircea_popescu: ascii_field you familiar with how long current foundation patch took ?
