This is great, I've just seen HiFive have released their Unmatched ITX board:\nhttps://www.crowdsupply.com/sifive/hifive-unmatched\n\nWhile the specs are still quite poor compared to Intel and even ARM, the progress seems great. 500mhz to 1.5ghz in just over a year.\n\nFor some background, RISC-V is an open source. free (as in freedom) architecture that should facilitate more open hardware.
@prologic that's awesome James. I've only tried archery once and failed miserably.
@prologic I'm absolutely in love with box. I feel like this, along with ulinux, is something I've wanted for years. I don't want/need/use 90% of the features of docker or linux.
This is cool. Was it easy enough to port this to golang?
@oevl yeah that was the same as me, I didn't add go to my path. once I did, it installed smoothly.
So I was hoping to spin up a large 24 CPU server on vultr for only a few minutes to see if building ulinux could be done extremely fast.\n\nBut I'm not allowed to create it because it goes over my allowed "monthly" limit.\n\nSo, I asked for the limit to be increased.\n\nSupport gets back to me, saying I can't get the limit increased until I'm using my current limit.\n\nI'm trying the imagine the scenario below:\n\nMark: hello bartender, may I have 1 IPA please?\n\nBartender: sorry sir, we can't give you an IPA until you've drank at least 5 Heineken\n\nMark: Oh no, I really don't want Heineken. I have no use for it. It's too weak and tastes like urine.\n\nBartender: I'm sorry sir. You must buy the Heineken before we can serve you the good beers.\n\nI hope one day my business makes so much money I can turn away paying customers.
Hmm, disappointing. It installed perfectly, fast, very intuitive. I ran the command, it seemed to connect for a minute, then "Destination host unreachable". I also couldn't really understand how to "give" my VM an ip address. I need to do more reading I think.
@prologic THIS! It looks perfect. Was just about to go to bed, but thought I'd check this out before. I feel this was a mistake, as I'm not gonna try and spin this up on vultr lol
@prologic That's seems amazing. So at a very basic level, I could build a "Hello World" app in go, and have my OS/VM/(laptop one day :P) boot straight to it? Although my Go isn't so good, and that does seem like a large project. Seems actively maintained though.
@prologic Yeah I saw that thread but it's too complicated. I want to encrypt the whole OS disk. I just ask for too much :P
So I was just about to install proxmox on my machine, then realised there's no way to encrypt the hard drive (using their ISO installer). Is there a way to encrypt the hard drive after installation?
@deebs @prologic that looks really slick. I wondee how it sends SMS. twilio?
@prologic yeah that alley is scary as hell. I constantly worry that door is gonna slam into me.
I didn't really notice before :P But yeah, it seems crisp :)
@prologic I think for centralised services I would rather use render.com, vercel, heroku or even google app engine. Or even better, puzed when I finally get it stable :P
@prologic Yeah seriously loving the idea of ulinux. I actually brought it up on Vultr last week and it was lightening fast. I've always wants an OS with "NOTHING" on it, apart from containers. But you always end up getting "freebies", like systemd, video drivers, etc. I got stumped with installing go, but I see you did a commit a few days ago. Will try again...
@prologic I tried your ulinux and managed to get it running on vultr. Really fast, not just to boot, but running commands. I see it comes with box, but also supports docker. How do you install docker on it?
@korynunn as a non Aussie I still found it quite funny, despite not knowing who that guy is
Just installed the Goryon app. It's looking good. Wish it was on F-Droid :P
Sitting at the bar, wondering what Twt is.
