asciilifeform: so i'ma omit the relays ( granted the 1u flat setup will be considerably easier to swap pieces in, than in old plant )
asciilifeform: rright, and the thing will still have to be slid out an' opened to swap
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: my original plan included a serial-controlled relay board for rebooting individual rk. but nao thinking, just how often anyone asked to reboot ? do we need this ?
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: power supply (w/ nominally jp caps) for rk plant, bought
asciilifeform: if next patch is diana_coman's -- invited to put in cron etc.
asciilifeform: these will go in the 'readme' at next patch.
asciilifeform: diana_coman: look in reader.py to see why, i made it default to selected chan ( for if folx want to substitute it for phf's on their blogs )
asciilifeform: gotta use full url w/ chan, to get the page. curl normally doesn't walk 301 ( there's a toggle but i fughot )
asciilifeform: the ominous bit is that miners themselves are apparently letting these go w/out actually verifying (or they'd sit as long as zoolag is sitting, per)
asciilifeform: i expect that the o(1) tx db will become needed at some pt for realtime operation, rather than a 'wouldn't it be nice one day' item.
asciilifeform: enemy has had several yrs nao to work on how to 'mass produce' such blox.
asciilifeform: in re trb -- zoolag ~still~ chewing on a block (perhaps the genuine ..450, perhaps not) even nao.
asciilifeform: ( for which will need boxes just the same )
asciilifeform: imho an orchestra of log mirrors / bot boxen is a notbad prelude to the eventual gossipdification .
asciilifeform: perhaps before leave fleanode, perhaps after, but will.
asciilifeform: aand it's made of junkyard parts ( see diana_coman's laments ) . at some pt we will have a civilized, human replacement.
asciilifeform: mod6: it's a nearly starvation-bare logtron atm, missing all kindsa luxuries (e.g. phf's backlinks system) . but atm it's the only 100% working ~published~ one
asciilifeform: mod6: depending on whether you have a box where can run python & postgres, it is maybe 1-2hrs of sweat.
asciilifeform: press asciilifeform's vtree and follow the readme ( with diana_coman's nitpick from 12h ago , re the createdb step )
asciilifeform: mod6: consider standing up a log mirror, like diana_coman today. it is relatively imho 'light' exercise, oughta be good for morale of mod6 , and makes very useful result .
asciilifeform: mod6: oh hm. can haz dumpblock of 450-451 plox ?
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: last time this q was raised, asciilifeform sat and wrote in fact 80% of a 'tmsr node explorer' proggy, to try an' find 'where are the humans' instead of continuing to rely on chance. but never got chance to finish.
asciilifeform: ( if yer lucky, it'll reorg when the actual 450 shows up )
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: quite likely, if you were to try an' reprocess that turd into a trb-edible block, you will end with a perma-wedged node.
asciilifeform: for all i know -- this is the long-awaited 1st shot of the great war.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: no human being seems to have *450 yet, so i can't very well try an' eat it.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: and indeed no one in known trb world seems to have ...450 just yet.
asciilifeform: i dun deal w/ prbisms with any regularity any moar
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: if you know how to shave it, plox to say.
asciilifeform: apparently 'blockchain info' nao serves gavinized blox as 'bitcoin'
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: btw if you haven't noticed, that block aint edible, it's a MB and half !!
