[Chicken-users] Askemos again; this time bad news. Needs some support/donation.

2013-01-24 Thread Jörg F . Wittenberger

Hello $all,

we've been recently in touch regarding Askemos.  Now I might need
some help, if you can.

Until Wed, 23 Jan 2013 15:55:00 +0100 the Askemos cloud ran on
a rather healthy mix of peers.

Pardon me? }:-|  ??? …

…An almost healthy mix, that is.  For historic reasons three of
those eight peers of the development network, which originally where
at different locations, ended up behind a single point of failure.  Since
the system promises fail-stop, I can't even add a note into my blog.

 Given the trouble I expect more.  In case of trouble: all URL's
 given here would/could/should be served from several locations.
 *IF* the URL after the askemos.org part starts with an
   A[0-9a-f]{32} path step, just replace the prefix with
 any other replica and retry.  Odds are 5:8.

 For hosts still visible see appendix.
   
So find the reference cited above under

http://login.softeyes.net/Ad60e3fb123a79b2e5128915116b288f7/index.html/
or it's alternatives while I'm fixing the DNS etc.

@Ian Grigg and Allison Stellíng: the same applies to the not-so-private 
message I just sent out minutes before the disaster happend. Find the 
one-pager-message wrt. system theory under hash code: 
A5ae3c14013b6fe38b4aa66a2697e097f that would be e.g. 
http://login.softeyes.net/A5ae3c14013b6fe38b4aa66a2697e097f or 
http://peanut.softeyes.net:7080/A5ae3c14013b6fe38b4aa66a2697e097f [the 
latter being a plug computer at home only].


I just wanted to add a forgotten note beneath the TC DISCLAIMER 
http://cl.softeyes.net:8080/A5ae3c14013b6fe38b4aa66a2697e097f/Systems%20in%20Genetic%20Autopoesis


This: The hypothesis wrt. cancer would be that the strict rule
*no communication along the diagonal* where shortcut.
Leading into a 'thermodynamic chaos'.

When those three peers disappeared.



## The Needs - Short Term

To fix the case I rather urgently need to find at least two
locations, where I dare to replicate my notes wrt. to my personal
privacy.  One already secured; so one more whom I can trust
not to embarrass me by leaking info taking as a remembrance to
myself.  Preferable outside Germany.


## Minimum requirements

BALL became a bit like the Swiss-army knife wrt. small scale
ISP needs not having a solutions widely deployed for a reason.

For operation it needs to bind to a port at the moment.
Run as some isolated user it needs to be able to maintain the
contents of one directory.


## Participate - Long Term

The more parties joining the network, the better it should help
with privacy, safety and autonomy.

### Regarding the Healthiness

So far we had

♣: AMD64, i386, ARM

♠: Chicken, Rscheme

♡: FreeBSD, Linux

♢: GPL, BSD

for symbols see A5ae3c14013b6fe38b4aa66a2697e097f , the
not so private draft message.

At the moment RScheme and FreeBSD are gone; leaving
both the pure GPL and the BSD stack incomplete.



Thanks for your time.

Re: [Chicken-users] Egg: redis bindings

Relatedly, has anyone updated the old memcached egg?

Considering that MySQL 5.6 brought in a NoSQL memcached
APIhttp://dev.mysql.com/tech-resources/articles/whats-new-in-mysql-5.6.html#nosqlthis
may prove to be of some use.

 Hi,

 I put up an egg that has high-performance redis bindings using
 hiredis. It's much faster (100x)  than the current egg and it doesn't
 suffer from timeout issues. Provides a pretty bare-bones API.

 I've put up docs on the wiki:

 And the egg is available from:
 https://github.com/abarbu/**redis-chickenhttps://github.com/abarbu/redis-chicken

 Could someone make this accessible via chicken-install? Thanks!

 I'd also appreciate if someone had a look at the
 meta/release-info/setup files and let me know if I'm doing something
 inappropriate.


 Awesome,

 I wrote a small library that's current backed onto either flat files or
 redis
 at the deployers option, I'll have a play with this in the evening!

 Cheers

Never mind, the qwiki search didn't show the /4/ egg when I searched for
memcache, but it does appear to exist:

cool, I wasn't aware of hiredis!

 https://wiki.call-cc.org/eggref/4/redis

You mention Note that you will need to fetch the git submodules in this
package. -- I wonder if the .tar.gz includes the checked out
submodules, too? Otherwise it won't work with the eggs infrastructure
I'm afraid. We'll know in a bit though :-)

Done!

 meta/release-info/setup files and let me know if I'm doing something

Looks fine AFAICS. You can remove the `egg', `files' and `doc-from-wiki'
clauses from the meta file, though. They are not needed anymore.

FYI, I also made a Redis egg once which I never released because I
didn't need it eventually and then I couldn't be bothered to finish it
up and write documentation for it :-) I took a slightly different
approach in providing a high-level API which exposes each Redis command
as a Scheme function. You can find the code here
https://gitorious.org/chicken-eggs/redis

Are you saying that you require access to a physical server outside of
Germany, on which you may bootstrap instances of Askemos to act as
replication peers?

If so, I'm sorry to say that I'm stuck on a slow residential cable line and
haven't the cash to spare for the continuous operation of a server. Between
my wife's tuition and the mortgage, we're rather tight for cash.
