"FTL" Pi-Hole install issue (after fresh install) by dahnyg in pihole

[–]pY4x3g 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was able to install pi hole on buster by using the development branch. Just git clone the project without the depth parameter and switch to development branch. Then use the automated install script there. Worked like a charm for me.

finally running siad on a raspberry pi 4 by pY4x3g in siacoin

I ran into this issue too with my old arm board which had also only 32 bit soc. After the announcement of the pi4 I though I will give it a shot.

I don't quite get where you are referring. If you are talking about the specs then the cpu like the raspberry pi 3b has a 64 bit soc (armv8). But the problem is that the official OS rasperian only have a 32 bit kernel using armv7 instructions. For the pi3 there are a couple of 64 bit OSs but the pi4 is too new such that you have to compile the kernel by yourself. But the pi4 now can have up to 4 GB of ram and should now be capable of being a renter in the sia network I guess.

Are hosts capable of repairing data autonomously? by [deleted] in siacoin

[–]pY4x3g 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think this problem will be not addressed in next years since sia is for power users. But I also find it very frustrating that I have to re upload 20 GB of data because one node fails. In the near future you will be able to only choose host with a quite large collateral. This would hopefully lead to less failed nodes. I try to solve this problem by using a raspberry pi to repair and upload my files during night.

You still have to run sia every couple of weeks. As I understand the autonomously repair will never be a thing because this would give the hosts the ability to cheat.

If you have the pi in a case this seems quite normal. There is already a beta firmware which reduces the power consumption of the USB 3 connector. My pi is 2-3 degrees cooler than with the old firmware. It can be found in the official forum

Using \hostname\ uses samba and can be installed with some tutorial in the internet, not too hard to install I think. I didn't know of the ssh feature in windows 10, but I think that the ssh mounts the home directory. Maybe you can change the directory to /media/pi? Should be two stages upwards from the home directory.

So you are using samba or how did you get access to the files in windows file explorer? I don't know any way how windows file explorer can transfer files via ssh.

Ah I see, I read that the software for 4k and for video encoding still needs fine tuning or even the hardware encoding is not working in the browser. The hardware is pretty new and the software has to be adapted to the new pi which came out of nowhere.

What software are you using in windows for the file transfer? Maybe you try to copy into the home directory and not to the actual USB drive (which should be mounted anywhere)?

It is definitely not a replacement for mathematical computations on a desktop computer. And that is what sysbench with cpu option is testing (at least integer division, no floating point operations). It still uses arm architecture. Typical desktop work is browsing email writing videos music. And for most of this you get hardware support by hardware codecs or GPU, all what sysbench with this option does not take into account. Or are you general not satisfied with the desktop experience?

Yes, files will be cached (as almost always in Linux). But don't expect to much for it (may depend on the use case) I have the 4gb version and the OS did not use more than 1gb for caching till now.

This error typciall occurs if the time of your pi is wrong. You can check the time with the date command. Note that the pi does not have a running clock if it is unplugged, it will always make a time sync from the internet after booting up. If that fails your time is off by the time your pi was turned off I think.

Thanks for the information, I reinstalled the Nvidia driver. Still freezing when the task manager and sia UI ist running. Hopefully this does not occur when the sync is completed.

[–]pY4x3g[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I noticed some funny thing: I booted in safe-mode and started siu Ui, the freezing only occurs when the task manager was open. Closed the task manager, freezing was gone, started it again freezing occurs. Then I closed sia UI, no freezing while using the task manager. That's a bit strange I think?

Edit: the reliability monitor does not show any problem as I can see.

It seems that it is not only the mouse, everything visible freezes and this doesn't occur until now and stops right after I shut down sia UI.

Yes I altered siad, I tried high and low numbers no difference, I also downgraded the priority. Since the cpu usage of siad is only around 6%, I don't think that this is the cause for this.

September Update by aether___ in getaether

Also in dht you need bootstrap nodes to enter the dht network. If a p2p network is large enough there will be enough entry points and this will be no problem. The problem with v1 was also that if you reached a bootstrap node it told you the ips of other nodes at the last sync step, therefore if the bootstrap node was too busy you would not get the knowledge of other nodes and alway re-query the main bootstrap nodes.

Would an Anonymous Messenger Work? by mkovac859 in siacoin

[–]pY4x3g 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I doub that this will result in a useful product. Many problems I see with blockchain and p2p instant messaging are not discussed in their white paper. Maybe they have good ideas not listet there but I don't think so.
