Greetings List Lurkers, This message could be duplicate - got the date wrong...
Ah... Computing under the cover of winter snow... All the projects, all the uncertainty, all the ignorance plus my own natural laziness! Could it get any better? My foray into Red Hat Bluefin continues, hopefully under the continued guidance the now healthy DTG. My frustration with both Bluefin are that Bluefin absolutely needs "Ports and Protocols" Documents. The issue here is what can you write to and what can you read from under these "immutable" distributions? What directories (and particularly ports)... What you can read and under what conditions (host or guest) would also be useful... This frustration has manifested itself in the following draft document: http://docbox.flint.com:8081/geekland/#BluefinPorts%26Protocols Which I continue to hack at. Can the "overlord process" transcending root be exposed... The epiphany that I arrived at in my meditations include the question: "Is all this immutability worth it?" Dave sez the isolation is a good thing... I remain skeptical... Again, my ridiculously ambitious plans for spring include my dream of a meet up of Adult Swim at SugarTower. The working title of this is for now "Open Source Summer Camp" (OSSC): http://docbox.flint.com:8081/geekland/#Open_Source_Summer_Camp_(OSSC) Sing out or attend this evening's meeting in person if you are interested in the SugarTower TechnoRubble organizational project, now known as OSSC... What would you think of a Summer festival maybe including other FOSS groups such as the Free Software Foundation? We have a nice 10 acre facility for this at SugarTower. Ah the dreams of Winter! That all said we have a meeting tonight at 6PM. The life lesson here is that serious development remains for the winter. Winter shall soon allow us to answer questions like: - Can we build a Large Language Model server? (Preferably on the cheap) This is a serious discussion between acquiescing to NVIDIA (CUDA) or finding an open source equivalent. - Can I the hardware and software into a "looperplex" (a musical instrument)? Answer, not without the worlds smallest 1000W power supply. ( http://docbox.flint.com:8081/echoplex) effects box? - A VIAOC based Arduino and Pi development environment that "Breaths" Code. http://docbox.flint.com:8081/geekland/#Virtual_Immutability_Associated_Containers_(VIAOC) - Can I use Chat GPT to generate VisualBash scripts? - Would it make sense to store VisualBash functions in MariaDB? - Could all tie into Kubernetes? ...so more about these foolish ideas is available this Monday evening at 6 PM at the York Library in beautiful East Barre Vermont. Thus we are convalescing, centralizing and convocating at the York Branch Library this evening. That said, come in person or remotely and bring this and any other problems and questions and we shall do our thing! Again this evening, beyond the Library face-2-face & gizmo-2-gizmo, we shall use https://meet.jit.si/bosi to connect.
