There is something satisfying about listening to XMMS with a Winamp classic skin on my 1U edge case machine for #lmtr .

I read yesterday about Musk's million satellite AI datacenters, and thought of it when I read this Civilization waste heat problem solved by black holes. For Nostr/Bitcoin folks, the bmoney article (different than this, see index) is in the Bitcoin Whitepaper. http://www.weidai.com/black-holes.txt

This is my edge case 1U: https://theretroweb.com/motherboard/manual/d1171-z120-uk-6139f663dee1f479211089.pdf Have you replaced your CR2032 recently? It is a workhorse. It was given to me as e-waste from a dot com startup my wife worked at. It ran my music server for years. #RetroComputing

This is a great thread on getting older hardware to work with Debian. I'm particularly interested in the web browser part. SSE3 is a big problem, even if the rest of the OS works.

If you look at the Bitcoin Whitepaper, all 9 pages of it, including the abstract and references on US letter with generous margins, and consider Nostr NIP-01, you can see a similarity of simplicity. In both cases the current system was extended and refined, but the base design doesn't cross many domains of perspective. There is a monster narrative carried by both. There is a cultural affinity: "Holy fuck! I understand something!" This is what simplicity offers, something that counts as a singular tool that can be understood in two breaths(NIP-01) or four (Bitcoin Whitepaper). I get the shared cultural cognition part, I really do [1]. This is *why* it holds followers. Now, I'm also looking for simplicity and a modification to behavior that embeds in culture through small programs and rulesets. I genuinely see the power of these two examples in organic culture. I used the Bitcoin Whitepaper as a model for my most recent paper for this very reason [2]. Whether either of them truly solve the problems we have at peak complexity is a different matter; however, I'll grant that it shares a #ParticleLife feature, something that #StephenWolfram might groove on. My *big* issue, is that unless other domains are included in the design considerations, all you have is a technical solution untethered. Just because something is untethered from existing control structures says little about how it will evolve in culture, and how it will motivate a better balance with nature. The same matrix, the same culture, the same ideologies, all of it is still there, even if you wrench control away through tech. As #DonellaMeadows observed, not only are paradigms/ideologies the most effective leverage point, being untethered from them is important. I feel like both Nostr an Bitcoin made progress here, but we stopped halfway. On the Nostr side, the resource consumption to approximate large social media platforms is insane. It veers way off from the Scuttlebutt roots. What would it look like with considerations of bandwidth and tech infrastructure? On the Bitcoin side, I'm skeptical of the sustainability; however, the system it untethers us from is arguably a factor more unsustainable, so I'll grant progress, but it is still highly technical and doesn't address ideology and paradigms. True, the narratives have lots of ideology and paradigms, but I don't see this in the source materials, so it just means there is something common by affinity.

Google got its start with weighted knowledge graphs that provided superior search. The rest of the world moved in a different direction as complexity increased. We moved from O'Reilly books and man pages to Stack Overflow to all scraped and matched with LLMs in a perfect circle back to Google.

Triples can form hard collaborative knowledge. This page gets to the heart of the problem. The priority is shipping product rather than system knowledge and re-use in the model. This is the pivot to a way of looking at meaning of work that made scraped LLM models appealing.

It seems odd, sometimes, to push on edge cases like my old 1U; however, I learned quite a bit about some things that were broken in the tools I've built, stuff I wasn't thinking clearly about. I have some refactoring and documentation to do. I need to change the Floppy PNG embedded extract script.

I spent much of the last two days figuring out what could work on an old Pentium III 1U I have. I got a "386" build of antiX to run on it, and extracted the Floppy PNG w/ a compile of QuickJS, but the only browser I could find that would work was seamonkey-2.46, because no SSE2/3.

This is the most elegant set of GNU/Linux install instructions I've seen since I started using Linux in 1995.

AntiX 64 bit works fine on my old 2011 laptop. I'll have to hunt to find some old 32 bit hardware to test the 32 bit version of AntiX; however, the performance is noticeably slower for Logical Map. It still works, though, just some lag. #lmtr

If I was an academic with more luxury and cush, vs. a nerd fixated on a particular form of cognitive tool for system visualization, I would investigate the ever-changing evil we shift the blame to. When did we stop being responsible for what dominant paradigms are doing to shared planetary life?

The conviction that somebody else's ideology and paradigms are wrong is easy. It is much more difficult to realize there are 10,000 years of embedded myth, ideology, and paradigms in all dominant cultures, including your own. Understand the concept of modernity. The enemy is us. #DanielQuinn

My first #lmtr journey was an old Acer Aspire with an AMD E-305 processor. While it is 64 bits, I've had trouble with some 64 bit distros on it (CPU features?), so installed 32 bit Puppy Trixie on it and 32 bit Firefox 144. It works with all sites, and generates Logical Maps with some lag.

I'm on a pretty typical mainstream GNU/Linux distro. It blows my mind that to burn a DVD with an ISO image that I just need to: ``` growisofs -Z /dev/sr0=img.iso ``` It seemed to work just fine for my Puppy Linux burn I'm using for my 32 bit Floppy PNG tests. #lmtr
