devttyeuon BOOM Open Source RISC-V Core Runs on Amazon EC2 F1 Instances

There is a great paper describing very simple OoO risc cpu with nice diagrams and a walk through a few execution cycles - https://ece.umd.edu/~blj/RiSC/RiSC-oo.1.pdf

devttyeuon Ask HN: Can you recommend a modern, accessible P2P framework/library?

There is a repo with simple examples to help get started - https://github.com/libp2p/go-libp2p-examples

People in IRC channels - #libp2p @ freenode (or #ipfs) - should be able to answer most of your other questions

(I work for PL, on go-ipfs and occasionally libp2p)

devttyeuon Alphabet Backs GitLab's Quest to Surpass Microsoft's GitHub

Git over IPFS is already WIP:

There is mostly functional git remote - https://github.com/ipfs-shipyard/git-remote-ipld - It's still missing "full" remote tracking with IPNS, that will get implemented soon after next go-ipfs release, so it's a bit weird to use now

Git portal is also taking shape: https://igis.io/ (also accessible via any gateway - https://cloudflare-ipfs.com/ipns/igis.io/). Git repo is at https://github.com/ipfs-shipyard/IGiS (Dynamic features like pull-requests are hard).

devttyeuon Intel 28-core fantasy vs. AMD 32-core reality

It actually presents itself to the system as a single node:

On a TR 1920x system:

  $ numactl --hardware
  available: 1 nodes (0)
  node 0 cpus: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23
  node 0 size: 32107 MB
  node 0 free: 20738 MB
  node distances:
  node   0 
    0:  10

devttyeuon Decentralized Web Primer

By default every node acts as DHT server. If you have easily reachable node this is fairly typical load. You may opt-out from serving DHT requests by adding --routing=dhtclient parameter to the daemon.

devttyeuon Netboot Linux over the internet

Most useful thing I found about netboot.xyz are the utilities. Imaging is far more useful for IT depts(from my limited exp with the matter) - for this use https://fogproject.org/ worked well for me.

devttyeuon Netboot Linux over the internet

I made an IPFS(the torrent+git+ thing) based fork of this because of these reasons.

It uses IPFS gateway setup in local network, this enables: * Caching of downloaded data (this is useful when using it to boot multiple computers in one LAN) * More trust: boot menu is served from local IPFS gateway using immutable hashes. It is also really easy to review it by hand. * It's a bit more service-dies-scenario proof

Downsides include lack of better documentation and messy code in places - it's a large scale refactor that changes the basics of how the tool works and isn't quite polished. It lives at https://netboot.devtty.eu/. There is no set-up instructions(tr;dr setup: run lan-open ipfs gateway, add A dns record 'ipfs.local' pointing at it in your lan DNS server, rest like netboot.xyz).
