storage: ZFS RAID2 array of three hundred free icloud accounts

I bet somebody's been bored and/or psychotic enough to have done that, booted a Linux machine from it, and played DOOM on it.

I had planned to do some productive work tomorrow, but this is calling to me. I must be strong...

Now that we have decided you are going to do it. Share the results of whatever comes out it.

There was a brief fascination with gmail-as-a-drive when it came out and offered people 1GB of storage. I remember someone wrote a driver that cut your data up and stored it as email attachments.

Back when I was on reddit, I remember finding some obscure subreddits that only had one approved poster and every post was filled to the brim with nothing but hexadecimal.

In theory, any website that allows you to post things could be used as a storage drive...

Hex is somewhat curiously an extremely poor encoding when you have access to unicode

Maybe reddit's formatting could interfere with using full unicode. Some of it could get interpreted as formatting marks, which could introduce bugs when trying to read it back.

Like, if your binary file translated into unicode happened to have {1*xF9*u in it, it would then read as {1xF9u when you go to read it back, and now you're missing two bytes from your binary file. But since none of the hexadecimal symbols are used as formatting marks, you're safe when using hex.

It was gmailfs - I probably still have a bunch of flash games and animations left in form of files split into emails there.

Someone had a filesystem using gmail once

The joy of FUSE is that anyone can make a file system pretty easily.

You just gotta love the "do not hallucinate" part of that prompt, which is like taking a person tripping balls on LSD, and telling them "now hear this, I want you to only tell me facts, and I do not want you to hallucinate!"

Good luck with THAT.

It's like telling a six sided die to roll 6 before rolling it.

yeah, that's what the temperature setting is for!

I've been unable to replicate this issue.

I have the exact same build except my network card is an official Playstation 2 network adapter. Try replacing the LLM.

lemmy.world

I've got the same setup but I found the issue wasn't the hardware but a driver conflict with my Nintendo Gameboy Printer. I was able to rollback and get it working fine.

Where did you roll back to¿

12

The president called. They want you to be their technical advisor

Probably the LLM cosplaying as an ethernet card. Everything else should work fine with Debian.

Idk, I just tried it on a similar set up (I don't have networking per se, just two pigeons with flash drives).

Works perfectly.

Maybe check the stability of gerbils in the PSU.

Having trouble installing IPoAC stack, don't want to manually copy from USB all the time. Did you find the solution?

thelemmy.club

The solution was magnetic serial ports, birds have innate desire to charge up on power cables anyway so not much training was needed, it also minimised the exposed network attack area, ... but doesn't do much against aDDoS attacks (a single mf with a handful of seeds will fuck up my coop-rig for hours).

I see! Thanks for sharing, will try to raise a link. Will see what I can do about protecting the communications from seeds, though

Seed-boxes, ultimately one can't live without them.

I was searching for a funny pic, but til there was a Mike Tyson cn show with a pigeon.

Must be a bug on Debian side. That's all common hardware, so you can just rely on someone else to report it and you'll be back up in a day or 2.

28

Debian is the universal operating system, and I'm sure OP's computer exists in some universe. File a bug.

4

I doubt it's a bug. It's probably a kernel issue, so try rebuilding the kernel on the hardware.

2

Giving the error so much attention is collapsing its wave function. Try ignoring it for a few days and see if it doesn't sort itself out.

ZFS RAID2

I assume they mesnt RAID-Z2 but I'd like to think they actually meant a ZFS array built on top of an obselete RAID 2 of cloud accounts lol

yes, the problem is you did not sacrifice a live goat while mercury is in retrograde and github is down, as is custom for digital magic and necromancy.

The TNT cards doesnt have SLI right? Change to some voodoos and you should be golden.

11

Maybe they run like a custom software SLI (the 3dfx SLI literally split the screens into halves & each card rendered it's thing independently, iirc - could be done 4 ways, like merging 4 screens into one). And it's from a project last updated 25 years ago.

The Riva line were absolute bangers tbh. Mad props to the driver developers who were always playing catch-up on the hardware (mad props to the hardware designers implied) but always delivered the goods. I honestly hope they're rich AF.

11

I legit have a transmeta Crusoe. But its stock 😆 I need to find a good IDE to SATA adapter to replace the dead HD in it and get it to boot.

7

Apple sauce is not a universal replacement for eggs! ... huh? Oh, force of habit. Also, the requirements clearly state Apollo-era core rope memory.

6

The live image requires more RAM than that. Try the installer-only media (not the netboot).

5
slrpnk.net

I think Debian needs at least 64 megabytes of memory to boot? Or at least Debian-Installer needs that for its ramdisk? (I remember doing some convoluted jank to get Debian crammed on a machine with 32 megs of memory once.)

Dunno how factual this is, I haven't checked in a while

4

a trixie netinst iso says it needs 320mb to run the installer and that's in lowmem mode where you have to pick and choose every installer component you want to load. and then it'll still look like this:

How does one overclock a tube full of liquid metal?

4

the practical answer is that you cool it down to reduce resistance.

the fun answer is to build one of those ocean wave desk toys with it so you can run the current downhill for access time or uphill for retention.

5

If you take a personal massager and sit it on top of them, it shakes them really quickly and that speeds them up.
