asciilifeform: i suspect that they vanished and will never be found.
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: i just realized that the bot is waiting to be voiced, due to its origins.
ben_vulpes: if you +v it permanently, it will perform its normal duties.

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: i'm a n00b to fleanode toggles -- did i not +v it correctly..?
ben_vulpes: simply giving directions of bot performing jobs
ben_vulpes: no, it does not, but the bot looks for that before it will speak
ben_vulpes: ah i see, probably thought i was pinging you to effect the change again
nodecounter: always wondered who the odd extra few nodes were
mats: its still in prod too, esp32 isn't so popular that its supplanted the other
asciilifeform: mats: didja ever get around to experiment with the thing ? ( mine was a bit disappointing )
asciilifeform: it eats quite a bit of current when transmitting, esp. for the very modest range it gets
mats: i have one on my desk, i've been struggling to get esp-open-rtos flashed
mats: it is very power hungry, and my suspicion is the limited power available from a peltier-charged batt practically guarantees it will only be up for a few hours a day
mats: could tag city buses that are on the road much more than typical sedan, which idles 95% of the time
mats: but those get regular inspections, so...
asciilifeform: and i'm not sure that a box with 500 metre range (and that's in open field, vs city, where 9000 wifi boxen clogging spectrum) is good for much
mats: i see why you didn't spend a lot of time on it
asciilifeform: imho the fatal flaw is that it sticks to the (computationally, and bandwidth-) very costly 802.11 stack.
mats: i went digging for power saving strategies with 80211a,b, doesn't seem to be much there
mats: AP is responsible for setting DTIM, no way for wifi client to do it
mats: no equiv. of nagle's algo for wifi packets
asciilifeform: the only way to save power is to not transmit. which kinda defeats the whole point.
asciilifeform: covert tx, in serious adult form, won't use carrier radio at all.
amberglint: I have some findings about Symbolics, should I talk about them here or on #trilema?
amberglint: I actually have a key registered there, just need to dust it off
