Hurdy
Hurdy is a devel computer running placed on Hackafou, the Calafou's hacklab. It's a project that aims GNU, BSD, UNIX technologies, as real computer experience providers and try to find an easy way to usability. It was first time run in a 'sobremesa' box, was a very stable GNU/Hurd system that crashed trying to update.
After this a DragonFlyBSD [lack version] was installed. It share his plugin' time with and USBLive Gentoo system on two USBs. In this time the Dragonfly hard disk was the guardian and the license legacy rest untouched, cos the box, became a Gentoo testing box, working hard with spectacular results on video, where has been detected slowmotion features. Hurdy it's a collective work of some computers lans. They make an UNIX clone operative system with a BSD License. All showed with GNU/Linux machines and boxes (rabn, nannn, xyzaa, debby, sputn1k, s4lyut, m00c, voyag3ur, arian3, kmelia and many more).
Inspiration:
If we look for the AI Koans [1] then we can read this amazing case:
A novice was trying to fix a broken Lisp machine by turning the power off and on. Knight, seeing what the student was doing spoke sternly: "You can not fix a machine by just power-cycling it with no understanding of what is going wrong." Knight turned the machine off and on. The machine worked.
The meaning of this koan is as claire as of deep and radical consequences. A machine works, at least a Lisp Machine, when we understand the reason of it. In other words, it only do what we can understand that it will do. How it's possible is a great mistery, cos it suppose a strange interaction between humans and machines all inside the mind.
The big question can't be another than Is the teaching of this koan true? To answer this maybe we have to feel that all ours computer interactions are the only proposit to fix a non understood question, topic or program. In this way of thinking, a fully understood system became and absolutely free hardware system. Is this a foolish thing or not? Is it possible? With the goal to reach a similar system we only conceive it as a free software system, the reason is easy: How would we understand a system that is hidden to us? I hidden system never can work for us, only can work for whom that know how it works.
Next events Hurdy development:
19-11-2015 - Clone succesfull released.
Start methode documentation for overwrite /etc/fstab file on the fly. Work in paralel, we will try to boot Hurdy HD by USB on a light integrated box.
16-11-2015 - Lombrices Hurdy project starts. Project Espirulina Hurdy started weeks ago.
More info about Espirulina People in Cultivando,conviviendo
14-11-2015 - Start a migration process to a more light box. Using a dd tool .
The main reason is to complain with Espirulina Hurdy project requeriments. the 'sobremesa' box high vibration level could disturb spirulina development: [NON DEMOSTRATED HYPOTESIS] Really, the vibration is good for spirulina development but not in its darker hours. (ever in case of long time running near the spirulina 'pecera' it would be verosimil)
