@vertigo @h goddman bros infecting everything...

@ekaitz_zarraga @h ok friends I'm off to do some boring shit, but I'll keep you in the loop if I make any progress on putting this board to work :)

@ekaitz_zarraga @h on the up-side I'll probably have a few weeks before any hardware shows-up, so I can busy myself with getting up-to-speed on the SOPINE module and figuring out net boot, etc.

Damn I probably should have ordered at least one extra module...

@h @ekaitz_zarraga damn gents how am I supposed to concentrate on my day job now? 😂

@h @ekaitz_zarraga That's interesting, but given the latencies of using Ethernet (and potentially, the Internet) as the interconnect I think the grain size is big enough that Linux would be sufficient.

Down the road that could change though.

@ekaitz_zarraga @h I figure, I just haven't done that before.

For Mark I I used netboot ROMs on the ethernet cards installed in the servers but since ARM doesn't have a BIOS per-say, the process is a bit different.

Just something I need to learn about.

@ekaitz_zarraga @h right, my interest is less in absolute power of a single unit, but more so in measuring that unit, optimizing tooling and then making it easy to expand that power horizontally to meet processing needs in a predictable way.

@ekaitz_zarraga @h aside from being a convenience, this design (being open) creates another potential road forward for #rainpsc. Even though this is geared toward the SOPINE module, I could adopt the same DIMM bus connector to other compute/storage modules. I could also expand the design to accommodate more nodes, etc.

If nothing else it makes running the hardware and the software work in parallel a lot easier.

@vertigo I'd still be using a Palm V if the software worked with contemporary services.

@neil I'm not familiar with indieauth specifically (but I will check it out, thanks for the link!).

I've seen something akin to it when I was working on #unhosted application designs. Personally I really like the approach but there's a steep technical barrier for most folks to setup & maintain something like that on their own.

That said I could see providing that as another auth option via the co-op (I started with OpenID Connect only because you have to start somewhere :) )

@gemlog I'd love to use this to deal with commercial airlines :)

@alanz I'll check that out, thanks for passing it along!
