[09:00] <brobostigon> morning boys and girls.

[12:15] <popey> Compiling MAME on a RPi 2 takes a "long time"
[12:17]  * popey tries on Pi3
[14:21] <m6lpi> popey: you're mad..
[14:24] <popey> wat
[14:28] <m6lpi> MAME compile on a Pi3
[14:29] <penguin42> popey: You want to find one of these guys; http://b2b.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=5460#ov
[14:29] <penguin42> popey: 384 64bit ARM cores in 2U
[14:30] <m6lpi> penguin42: will it run Dom II ?
[14:31]  * penguin42 shrugs
[14:38] <popey> nice
[15:28] <popey> my mame build died after 815 minutes
[15:28] <popey> [1990100.838852] Out of memory: Kill process 22781 (ld) score 868 or sacrifice child
[15:28] <popey> during linking
[15:30] <penguin42> yeh, no useful amount of RAM
[15:31]  * popey adds a touch of swap
[17:42] <diddledan> teehee: https://twitter.com/Snowden/status/719218767788666880
[17:44] <diddledan> I'm glad he can still find humour
[17:52] <popey> hm, building mame (again, with swap) on pi2 and pi3 together, the pi3 isn't exacly massively outperforming the pi2
[17:53] <zmoylan-pi> ram a bottle neck for mame?
[17:53] <penguin42> popey: Why would it?
[17:53] <popey> i thought the 3 was supposed to be a bit quicker
[17:54] <diddledan> popey: maybe that's due to swapping?
[17:54] <popey> its not swapping
[17:54] <diddledan> fair enough
[17:54] <diddledan> in that case then I'm as surprised
[17:54] <popey> it needs more ram, but I cant add that
[17:54] <diddledan> I heard it's like 30-40% faster than the 2
[17:54] <popey> the ram is only needed when it gets to linking
[17:54] <penguin42> popey: It is clocked a little faster; but the Pi3 is still running in 32 bit mode which is a bit of a shame
[17:55] <popey> true
[17:55] <diddledan> good point
[17:55] <diddledan> maybe when we start seeing full-64bit toolchains it'll improve compilation speed
[17:55] <popey> friend of mine has a scaleway arm box
[17:55] <popey> but they've run out, no more left
[17:55] <diddledan> :-(
[17:56] <penguin42> popey: oh, damn I had a plan for one of those
[17:56] <diddledan> yeah I don't think they were prepared for the demand they received
[17:56] <popey> yeah
[17:56] <diddledan> great idea though
[17:56] <popey> i think an arm chromebook might be worth a look
[17:56] <popey> especially the samsung 2 which has 4GB RAM
[17:57] <diddledan> apart from the different formfactor of their custom design, and that they don't have physical storage with the individual boards, it's like a datacentre of pis
[17:57] <popey> I'm sshe'd into a friends' scaleway box
[17:57] <penguin42> popey: datacentred.co.uk were doing ARM cloud by the hour as well but it seems to have dropped off their pricing page
[17:58] <popey> [    0.000000] Machine model: Scaleway - C1 Computing
[17:58] <popey> heh
[17:58] <diddledan> scaleway are doing x86 board now :-(
[17:59] <diddledan> ref: https://www.scaleway.com/pricing/
[18:00] <popey> yeah, i got an invite, and clicked the "start your first server" then got "Temporary out of stock"
[18:00]  * penguin42 has this nutty idea to try building a CEPH cluster among 3 dirt cheap cloud providers for the heck of it
[18:01] <diddledan> do you have any plan for using it, or just gonna build it "because"?
[18:02] <diddledan> both perfectly fine choices - don't feel I'm belittling either of them
[18:02] <penguin42> diddledan: Well the extended nutty plan is to figure out how to back smtp/imap onto a system like that and then have a properly resilient mail server
[18:02] <diddledan> oooh
[18:02] <diddledan> funky
[18:02] <penguin42> diddledan: Beware that it may be more nutty than a walnut whip, and I've not really thought about any detail
[18:03] <diddledan> \o/
[18:03] <diddledan> the best projects are the random ones
[18:03] <penguin42> it's also queued behind two other projects I'm not getting very far on
[18:05] <diddledan> I've got a few plans that are still to take form
[18:05] <diddledan> also**
[21:44] <popey> Linking mame...
[21:44] <popey> \o/
[21:46] <diddledan> ready for it to OOM
