So, the version of SHODAN I deployed yesterday generated about $200k/s overnight, which was pretty sweet.
03:02
<&ToxicFrog>
Today I modified the autobuyer to be much more aggressive about server purchases and upgrades, and much less aggressive about hacknet upgrades
03:03
<&ToxicFrog>
And SHODAN to attempt to double the money on each target server between hacks rather than merely increasing it by whatever the excess grow amount was, and avoid nuking servers entirely.
03:03
<&ToxicFrog>
~30 minutes after deploying that change it's up to 500k/second.
03:05
<&ToxicFrog>
It also occurs to me that rather than having auto-upgrade capability in SHODAN itself, I should write a watcher that detects when a running program has been updated on-disk and restarts it more generally.
03:24
<&ToxicFrog>
Money is now coming in fast enough that servers getting repeatedly upgraded before the SPU running on them can finish a task is now a legitimate concern.

I am suddenly rather tempted, with my success with the PLEX server, to look into this.
04:22
<&Reiver>
It even has Wifi, so I wouldn't have to faff bridging between ethernet and wireless, and could leave the external HD running as a network server. Hm.

Reiver: I would wait at least a few months for the software drivers to mature a bit
04:48
<&McMartin>
But yeah, that is a very, very nice piece of kit for the cost, and pretty solid even if you ignore price and are just looking at "how much can you cram into a computer the size of a deck of cards"
04:59
<@Alek>
is 1GB RAM enough to use it as a HTPC though?
04:59
<@Alek>
I mean, sure, it's 4K capable supposedly, but does the RAM support that?
05:00
<&McMartin>
The Pi4 goes up to 4GB
05:01
<@Alek>
I know, I'm asking about the cheap version. :P

McMartin: Yeah, I would leave it a bit, but holy cow, a hundred bucks to have a reasonably solid bit of kit to act as a properly compact media server is ... tempting. Low wattage, too.

<@Alek>
so, wait a while for them to work the kinks out of the OS?
07:30
<&McMartin>
"Finish getting the new device drivers sorted out" more like
07:31
<&McMartin>
It should be pretty straightforward, but I got the impression there were some kinks in the preview copies
07:31
<&McMartin>
No idea how this works with stuff like RISC OS, but they didn't seem concerned
07:31
<&McMartin>
(The Pi 3 was total panic mode for RISC OS though, so...)

Alek: the Pi 3 is plenty powerful enough for an HTPC as long as you transcode HEVC server-side

Both of those should be replaced with clearBits(var, 0b00001111) and then you can do whatever nonsense you want inside clearBits~
14:36
<&ToxicFrog>
Meanwhile, I stopped getting money in bitburner overnight
14:37
<&ToxicFrog>
The root cause turns out to be that my autobuy script was aggressively upgrading dedicated servers that SHODAN was using, causing it to lose track of SPUs and think more tasks were active than actually were
14:37
<&ToxicFrog>
So I think I need to move the server-upgrading code into SHODAN itself so it can defer upgrades until an SPU finishes a task.

Toxic: and if the full 4k isn't needed, only HD?
23:00
<&ToxicFrog>
Alek: the pi3 can't reliably handle HEVC above 720p.
23:01
<&McMartin>
How's its AVC?
23:01
<&McMartin>
I guess most AVC media is going to cap at 720 anyway
23:02
<&ToxicFrog>
AVC == h264? It has a hardware decoder for that, it'll handle anything your network can keep up with
23:02
<&McMartin>
Yeah, AVC=H.264
23:02
<&McMartin>
And OK yeah that also matches my experience~
23:03
<&McMartin>
Though I have yet to find The Program I Really Want for this, and I'm not sure it can exist without violating a shit-ton of ToSes
23:03
<&McMartin>
(Which would be a commandline, console-mode-through-the-VC4, YouTube player)
23:09
<&ToxicFrog>
That seems like youtube-dl piped to vlc or mplayer in /dev/fb mode would work well
23:09
<&ToxicFrog>
Or, well, work acceptably, given a tradeoff between initial buffering time and whether you can seek or not
23:11 Vornicus [Vorn@ServerAdministrator.Nightstar.Net] has quit [Connection closed]
23:13
<&McMartin>
Yeah, I've had problematic-at-best results with VLC in consolefb mode.
23:13
<&McMartin>
Not only can you not seek, you can't stop either.
23:13
<&McMartin>
And that's when backed by a *file*
23:13
<&McMartin>
(I think it expects to be controlled from a daemon process reading infrared signals from a remote control, or from someone sshed in from another terminal.)
23:13
<&ToxicFrog>
(entirely possible)
23:14
<&ToxicFrog>
(IME mplayer works much better with keyboard-only control but I haven't tried it with fbdev)
23:14
<&McMartin>
It also occasionally gets it into its head that what we really need here is to aalib it up here
23:14
<&McMartin>
Which is hilarious but extremely rarely what I actually wanted
23:15
<&McMartin>
I'm not actually sure the thing I really want is even properly consolefb
23:15
<&McMartin>
But instead "like consolefb, but not an fb and instead an accelerated OpenGL ES rendering context"
23:15
<&McMartin>
One of my current projects right now is to port UQM to SDL2 enough to be able to run like that.
23:16
<&ToxicFrog>
I have no idea (a) if that exists, (b) what it's called if it does or (c) whether mplayer and/or vlc can talk to it
23:16
<&McMartin>
SDL2's basic non-explicitly-OpenGL rendering mode will give you this for free
23:16
<&McMartin>
It definitely exists, because I've run both VICE and Stella with it.
23:17
<&McMartin>
SDL2's basic output mode when run without X on a Pi will talk straight to the VC4 chip to do this
23:17
<&McMartin>
It is in fact smokin' fast and gives you the whole screen no matter what your requested window size was, and this is for an emulator generally "your TV res" and exactly what you want
23:17
<&McMartin>
And also no X11 overhead, because to hell with X11
23:21
<&McMartin>
Unfortunately, SDL2 doesn't support it in the version of Debian that Raspbian is presently using, so I had to build my own SDL2 from scratch to get it, but that wasn't honestly that bad
23:22
<&McMartin>
Buster will have it.
23:22
<&McMartin>
Also libsdl2-2.0-0 is actually 2.0.9, good job Debian, you did it
