| ChinnoDog | hi msalvatore | 16:00 |
| ChinnoDog | Anyone know of a cheap Linux SBC with a lot of memory? Probably needs at least 8gb ram and a 64-bit arm or x86 cpu. | 16:02 |
| ChinnoDog | Just found this: http://linuxgizmos.com/ringing-in-the-new-year-with-136-open-spec-linux-sbcs-under-200/ | 16:05 |
| ChinnoDog | SBC with 8gb is expensive. 4gb looks like the sweet spot where you get a lot of memory for fairly low cost. | 16:10 |
| ChinnoDog | Pi4 and Rock64 seem to be where it is at. Maybe big enough with memory compression for my use case. | 16:20 |
| msalvatore | hi ChinnoDog | 16:35 |
| msalvatore | I could be wrong, but I think they may have a hard time physically fitting 8gb of ram on the smaller boards. | 16:37 |
| msalvatore | what's your use case? | 16:37 |
| msalvatore | i guess there are 16gb boards, so I'm probably wrong about the physical limitation. It may depend what else is on the board. IDK | 16:46 |
| ChinnoDog | msalvatore: I don't think it is a physical limitation. Probably just not a common use case. I am considering building a network appliance as a proof of concept but the software it requires is memory heavy. | 18:24 |
| ChinnoDog | I can probably break it into smaller pieces that will fit into 4gb and/or dedupe and compress memory and/or scale it down to use less resources. | 18:26 |
| msalvatore | ChinnoDog: if you use docker and somehow work in a blockchain, you can probably get a VC to fund it. | 18:27 |
| ChinnoDog | It will need docker but I doubt there is a use for blockchain. | 18:50 |
| pleia2 | msalvatore: haha | 19:36 |
| waltman | Drop-in bitcoin mining containers! | 20:51 |
| ChinnoDog | Not even worth it without hardware acceleration and your own power plant. | 21:10 |
| waltman | Nonsense! Build an array of cheap lower power miners out of raspberry pis! | 21:14 |
| ChinnoDog | Pretty sure the ₿/$ will be low if not negative because of the mining farms in China. | 21:18 |
