asciilifeform: 'Hank Prunckun is associate professor of intelligence analysis at the Australian Graduate School of Policing and Security, Charles Sturt University, Sydney' blah etc.
asciilifeform: so yes you could run it. tho on x86/amd64 strictly, naturally, afaik there was never a build for arm etc
asciilifeform fires up box with opera 12.16 -- confirmed static
asciilifeform: commercial/closed binariolade 'for linux' will not run on cuntoo unless it was built statically, but prolly erryone realizes this.
asciilifeform: ( i assumed mircea_popescu was speaking of ye olde norwegian ministry of telecom or wherever 1MB closed x86 opera, rather than the 'modern' abortion )
asciilifeform: i dun know much about ye olde closedsores opera -- if it was built statically, it oughta run on cuntoo
asciilifeform: i meant 'any'. afaik the only remaining graphical www thing that builds even on asciilifeform's ban-flagged gentoo ( not even speaking of musl ) is old firefox.
asciilifeform: will be interesting to put cuntoo on box with vga card and see if, for instance, any www browser can be made to run.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: kernel mods dun use userland libc, so this should in principle not be affected by muslism
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-07-15#1834771 << from ~cold~ node it backs up as well as anything else . point was that i can't think of any good reason to do it that way, nodes ( correctly-built, i.e. with aggression ) are self-replicating reasonably quickly☝︎
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-07-15#1834762 << when i get own cuntoo test machine up, will test postgres also ( phuctor is currently baked on postgres, though in principle it would also work on mysql etc., simply never yet tried )☝︎
asciilifeform: you can approximate the effect with dumpblock/eatblock.
asciilifeform: i.e. at ~max speed permitted by the disk writes.
asciilifeform: ( if we had the 'configurable checkpoints thing' discussed 2y ago, this would sync in 3 days or so )
asciilifeform: a new node plugged directly in ( i.e. over lan ) to a working trb node, with 'aggression' should sync in week or 2.
asciilifeform: and whole concept of 'backing up trb' strikes me as wrongheaded -- the most effective backup is simply a 2nd node.☟︎
asciilifeform: shinohai: i've found that trb state can't be effectively backed up without stopping the node ( otherwise indices turn to barf . ) how do you do yours ? periodic stops ?
asciilifeform: shinohai: speaking of www, yours seems to be down just nao ?
asciilifeform: shinohai: didja bake own nat thing for it, or used the vendor's shitware ?
asciilifeform: stupidly expensive, too, for what they do.
asciilifeform: shinohai: afaik these all use 'software' raid
asciilifeform: incidentally, a miniature raid (i.e. harness 4 cheapo hdd to 1 usb3 cable) would be a very useful thing. which afaik unfortunately does not exist.
asciilifeform: re 'screen' -- funnily enuff for many yrs asciilifeform did not use it aside from as rs232 terminal a la 'kermit'; for the absolutely fucking vital item of 'leave my bg processes alone when i disconnect', used simply 'nohup', which comes with afaik errry unix since system5
asciilifeform: in his words, lol, 'I never did make it down for one of MP’s famous conferences, then he stopped having them a few years back. So wut do.'
asciilifeform: ( for old-worlders -- astonishing beast, can grow to german shepherd size, opposable thumbs unscrew jars, open doors... )
asciilifeform: 'virtual' hosters attract undesirable faux-nodes, like rubbish bins in usa attract raccoon
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-07-14#1834457 << ftr this is a ~very~ Bad Idea . for instance , i do not know in what starvation-cheapo hoster brazilish put his node, but if it was aws he will find that he cannot connect to ~any of the l1 folx's trb nodes, most people ban aws ip range whole☝︎
asciilifeform: diana_coman: know what, yer right, i'ma let him dig.
asciilifeform: brazilish: fwiw my personal everyday-use node is a box the size of my fist, cost about 100 $ ( not incl. disk ) , runs off a 12v line
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-07-14#1834483 << just about anything with 2GB or more memory will work -- trb is not really cpu-bound . a 1TB disk will last you 3-5 yrs until fills. ideally ssd ( though the exact penalty from using mechanical disk is not yet known, see last night's thread ). if ssd -- i recommend samsung's, cheapo ssd typically burns after 1-2 yrs of trb wear.☝︎
asciilifeform: ( supposing diana_coman or trinque don't cure it first )
asciilifeform: life is pretty hard without 'screen', i'ma look at it as soon as i have own cuntoo going
asciilifeform: diana_coman: was mysql the only eulora component that misbehaved on musl ?
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: standing up boxen, to the degree that it can be done telerobotically, is asciilifeform's .
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu had good point, in that if sane logging (i.e. with msec timestamps for everything) were standard, question could be answered immediately.
asciilifeform: mid 300s is iirc where the packed-to-the-gunwales 'stress test'(tm)(r) blox begin.
asciilifeform: lobbes: your node sounds like a good candidate for the timer patch (i.e. determine, why not syncs, is it block db delay, or it somehow gets nuffin from peers, or which.)
asciilifeform: diana_coman: also then signal BingoBoingo to remove the kvm cables, the kvm box is in no real sense secure , having it plugged in for extended time is a small but definite liability
