I remember when 8-bit machines ruled the Earth, IOS was a Cisco thing, and e-mail bounced around via dial-up, back before the first AI winter.
I'm now enjoying the new AI spring and doing all sorts of fun stuff.

I'm a bit concerned about the network layer (or, rather, lack thereof). I've looked at one or two of the "overlay network" approaches (that essentially have a container act as a ro…

IP changed, and DNS failed to update.

It's all on the About link, on Github :)
comment
It's all on Github. Also, I blog at http://taoofmac.com , but this week I haven't had much time to write about the cluster itself.
comment
I wish I could mod this way higher.

I can pack a lot on a UDP packet as well...
comment
Your shared library assertion is incorrect, at least on Intel machines. See Solomon Hykes' reply on this thread: https://groups.google.com/forum/m/#!msg/docker-user…
comment
Your assumption is wrong, since lack of data points in a given time interval is, in itself, a data point. If metrics don't arrive on time after a set interval, the machine is flagged.
comment
It does in the sense that an HTTP connection (either on the server or the client side) will expend roughly 20 times the CPU and buffers than generating or handling a single UDP packet. It all adds up …
comment
I'm intrigued. I collect real-time machine performance data using a UDP multicast daemon (written in C). It's fallible on some network topologies, etc., but it's extremely light and eff…

RRDTool?
comment
Seems to work great. Just built a Dockerfile to build and run it (I use Docker to build one-off binaries without littering my machines with junk libraries): https://github.com/rcarmo&#…
comment
Thanks. I would very much like to see that buildscript - I've been tinkering with the idea of building something along these lines but with an Ubuntu armhf userland (given that Ubuntu on ARM has …
comment
How future-proof is this? i.e., where do we get updates from? (if there aren't any extra APT repos, is there a source tree/recipe to upgrade to later versions?)
comment
Well, then... Any good network-transparent channel libraries for Go? :)
comment
you have to fork it to a repo you control.
comment
Same here. http://taoofmac.com is run that way. Check out http://github.com/rcarmo/sushy for the next rendering engine...…
comment
The way it looks, your credentials are posted directly to the Github API. Hard to tell more without clean source to look at.
comment
This is very nice. I wonder how hard it would be to turn this into a network renderer (I suppose farming out sections to other machines is challenging with path tracing, but may be wrong).
comment
The alpha image I downloaded lacked apt-get (given it was snappy). Anyone know of a "normal" one? (oh, and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9000584 - I just got a board)…
comment
Feel free to ask me (almost) anything. I'm going to leave it plugged in and will have SSH access, although I do have to get some sleep for the next few hours :)
comment
Just tried the current pip package and it doesn't build for me on OSX or Ubuntu. I have a local snapshot of the version I used with 2.4.0, but can't remember where I got it from now.
