asciilifeform: the one pogo item missing is the sd slot - which imho was ~useless.
asciilifeform: unlike pogo with hdd in its strange angular cradle, these things will handily fit in that colo rack BingoBoingo had subscribed to, where they give you five inch pedestals.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: thing can be, apparently, booted from tftp, pogo-style.
asciilifeform: kernel mounts its root partition (or tries to, mine no longer does!) - also like pogo. or your pc.

asciilifeform: (like every other known device that does >= pogo)

mircea_popescu: sure, an argument could be brought that "hey, even blocking /random is faster than dice". maybe. then consider machines that do not have a rng at all, such as pogo. maybe they want pws too. etc.
danielpbarron: I can sorta-run a gentoo on a pogo by chrooting from another linux
shinohai: btw danielpbarron didn't you have some info stashed away somewhere on building a gentoo on pogo instead of arch?
PeterL: how much power does pogo take?
mircea_popescu: actually speaking of dc motors, i wonder if you could get a hamster to wheel-power a pogo.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: a correct way to 'de-chink' the pogo power source might be, e.g., to connect them all - in parallel - to old soviet car battery charger.
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=18-03-2016#1435837 << student exercise - prove that the 10 (usa) or 20 (eu) pogo garland will necessarily explode if they all enter cpu halt mode. ☝︎

asciilifeform: e.g., reattache the missing sata plugs to the cheapo pogo version
danielpbarron: using an sd card for the userland, and in two cases both had the filesystem corrupted, which is why I had to try it on my sata-style pogo
danielpbarron: actually the irc one is the lesser non-sata pogo
danielpbarron: yeah i got another pogo doing my irc client; it was also doing my old non-wp website
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron you know, it occurs to me your idea to run a webserver on pogo may actually be very valuable.
danielpbarron: i think if i enable caching the pogo might survive all those hits at once better
danielpbarron: is it possible to do gentoo on pogo?
danielpbarron: just so happens i had arch on pogo already set up, so it was the easiest to get blog going on
asciilifeform: pogo is spiffy
danielpbarron: if i'm gonna move off a pogo i'll use gentoo on whatever the replacement is
asciilifeform: danielpbarron: what os on the pogo?
danielpbarron: pogo really shouldn't be used for this purpose :< ☟︎
assbot: Logged on 15-03-2016 23:05:37; BingoBoingo: I suspect it will have to graduate from a pogo to an "edgerouter lite" sometime in the next few months.
mircea_popescu: btw danielpbarron here's a nice idea for article : step by step guide to run your own wp on pogo.
BingoBoingo: I suspect it will have to graduate from a pogo to an "edgerouter lite" sometime in the next few months. ☟︎

adlai: let's just say that this is not exploitable on a pogo
davout: pogo's still high on my personal what-do-if-spare-cycles list
trinque: if one had invested significantly in the infrastructure for an exchange, it stands to reason that he'd not use this to hold his own funds, and instead would keep it on a usb stick plugged into his fucking pogo
asciilifeform: the sad part is that i fixed pretty much all of the cthonic hell-pits that prevented pogo,
asciilifeform: at any rate, i have long seen nodes as an astonishingly weak point, which is why i pressed the whole pogo thing
mircea_popescu: that's a large pogo rigt there.
assbot: Logged on 07-03-2016 15:40:39; shinohai: I still have faith that one day my pogo will sing.

pete_d_out: on the topic of the lordship list, can someone please tell me what 'fief' mats is fighting for ? pogo distribution ? pgp server thing he started then quit ? other things ? i'm genuinely curious. he doesn't contribute ~that~ much to the debates here that i can see, though he's certainly not invisible, but most of what i glean from his commentary is along the lines of "windows isn't so bad u guise", which, i guess, is what it is. anyways,
shinohai: I keep backup copy of blockchain on pogo now, I have it syncing from real node every 12 hours.
mod6: does anyone else think that this is *not* a decent consideration at least? even taking into consideration the issues we ran into with pogo?
asciilifeform: mod6: this was my original objective with pogo
mircea_popescu: mod6 this i called the "pogo" approach to it.
mircea_popescu: so then the model here is to have fundamentally speaking a pogo/arm-ish level bitcoind/os, that doesn't really natively build on anything without a laundry list of finicking ?
shinohai: and ~ 90% complete to pogo backup of blockchain
asciilifeform: (no discussion of how and why we ended up with static build, omitting the whole pogo thing, astonishingly foggy description of what orphans/bastards were and WHY they had to go, i could go on, and on)
mircea_popescu: technically that's not even on pogo
shinohai: on pogo, the hdd is the only thing that ever seems to get hot.
mircea_popescu: maybe link him to the whole pogo thing ?
assbot: Logged on 11-01-2016 01:48:18; *: adlai will have to implement his own, so it runs on his 'pogo'

mircea_popescu: sciilifeform> http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=11-01-2016#1365773 << pogo is a 32-bit arm-v << yeah that's the why. but it ran on a desktop. ☝︎
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=11-01-2016#1365805 << incidentally, i surveyed all known routers on the market. all have severe ram constraint (very few better than pogo, costliest have perhaps 512m) and no sata, ever ☝︎
