asciilifeform: http://logs.bitdash.io/pest/2023-08-18#1029950 << it was baked strictly to run the linux which asciilifeform ported to it. to get airtight process isolation on a shared machine.
bitbot[asciilifeform]: Logged on 2023-08-18 23:59:00 gregorynyssa[deedbot|PeterL|signpost]: Was there any particular MIPS III program which you needed to execute?
asciilifeform: i.e. 'qemu' without the 9000 kilometres of mystery src and the exploitable bugs.
asciilifeform: whole emulator fit in l0 cache (<13kB exe)
asciilifeform: notion was, you run the thing with memory image, the linux 'boots' in <0.1sec, runs whatever (e.g. pdf to jpeg tool), shits out output on tcp
asciilifeform: with no permanent state change
asciilifeform: experiment concerned the question of whether one could even have a usably-fast full-system emulator without dynamic recompilation.
asciilifeform: ( answr was 'maybe', on 3Ghz opteron, 'm' gave performance roughly like 486dx2, lol )
asciilifeform: bottleneck, unsurprisingly, was tlb lookup (i.e. virtual to phys address translation on erry mem access)
shinohai[asciilifeform]: awt: was the chroot issue only one you had during bootstrap of pentacle? I'm still getting debootstrap errors such as "E: Couldn't download file:debs/dists/stretch/main/binary-amd64/Packages" etc. Had to manually insert keys since apparently "deb.debian.org" wants to redirect to "archive.debian.org" - sadly I nuked last in
shinohai[asciilifeform]: stall.
awt_akris[asciilifeform]: shinohai: yes that was the only issue
shinohai[asciilifeform]: Have nfi what issue is, have tried on both Gentoo and Ubuntu - same thing.
signpost[asciilifeform]: maybe I fucked something up when I updated the patches. will investigate
signpost[asciilifeform] just got back from north carolina. nice place
discord_bridge[asciilifeform]: (awtho) signpost: I found the forests there to be magical, or maybe like in a fairytale.
