asciilifeform: and for that matter ALL of the machines will need setting ip/gateway/etc☟︎
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: this particular item oughta be struck from the list , then, it is not a plug-and-go
asciilifeform: ( in case anybody forgot, this is the box where you can stuff a few MB of useful payload straight into bios. which in turn is the last blobless amd build, takes payload straight in makefile )
asciilifeform: but ideally this is for ~later~ BingoBoingo use, rather than 'don't bisp until it has working firmware'
asciilifeform: i actually have a pcengines apu1 ( 2G version ) with the sage header soldered on, and sageprobe, that i am adding to the cargo manifest☟︎
asciilifeform: apparently depends , nao, on who's doing the asking
asciilifeform: ... and runs on own 1GW reactor. why not. for folx ready to pay, anyffingispossible neh
asciilifeform: nfi why this notion persists. i suspect intel desinfo.
asciilifeform: the hruscheba in the last pic is a winner. loox almost as if it came with 0 windows originally, and only the brave souls who chopped out their own, nao have one or two
asciilifeform: dunno if i personally could tell actual-1974-shoemaker's-own-typewriter from artful fake typed on the timis museum one
asciilifeform: the ro-themed wikilick ( mircea_popescu-powered, even, in the early burst iirc ) also counts, neh
asciilifeform enjoys embassies. doesn't actually know anyone who works in'em, however; but where asciilifeform lives they every year have a festival where 'look how great is our goatfuckistan, and how mighty its embassy, have some liquor, ' etc
asciilifeform: ~invariably the first MB or so ( i wish this were joak ) contains only liquishit
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: and observe that the turdmeisters implemented elaborate hacks ( i.e. realtime DOM modification ) ~just so that ad crapolade loads first~
asciilifeform: the idea is that if you have immutable url-to-payload correspondence, large-scale mirroring ( via , e.g., gossipd wot ) becomes practical.
asciilifeform: not long ago i loaded a 'torrent' that was first put up ~7yrs ago. because somebody still mirrored.
asciilifeform: if correcly made, link can only rot if nobody mirrored.
asciilifeform: ( and i suspect original will not even be muchly remembered , sorta like how ~nobody nostalgiates for ibm mainframe liquishit )
asciilifeform: this is what www would have been if made by the sane.
asciilifeform: and yes, flat, and yes, goodbye to link rot.
