02:01 <isd> Mine is running on a desktop next to my bed.

02:49 <crab> i don't know if anyone remembers a report i'd posted to the sandstorm list a long time ago about radicale grains not loading for me because of a particular enormous js file that downloaded very slowly

02:49 <crab> but i find i can reproduce the problem sometimes even with sandstorm running on my local machine

02:49 <crab> i wonder how to go about debugging it

14:11 <TimMc> dckc: I run Sandstorm on a laptop in the basement. The laptop was thrown out by a neighbor a few years ago.

15:23 <dckc> ah. I have an extra laptop one of my kids no longer uses...

15:23 <dckc> I have been planning to use it to play with genode.

15:24 <dckc> I'm currently running sandstorm on my previous PC.

15:24 <dckc> how do you handle the risk of disk failure?

15:25 <dckc> my roundcube grain failed to start up. I hope that's because I skipped email configuration.

16:27 <TimMc> I have backups configured with Tarsnap.

16:29 <TimMc> It's actually kind of annoying, in a way that isn't specific to Sandstorm—I want atomic snapshots of files and database, and that means using a snapshotting filesystem.

16:29 <TimMc> Here's what I ended up with: https://github.com/timmc/commapps/blob/master/ansible/roles/tarsnap/files/run-backup.sh

16:30 <dckc> nice. thanks for the pointer.

16:30 <TimMc> That repo has a bunch of ansible configuration. Feel free to lift anything you like.

16:31 <crab> does it have a playbook to make your neighbour throw out a sandstorm-friendly laptop?

16:38 <TimMc> crab: Yes, but there's a chicken-and-egg problem; the playbook won't run until I can bootstrap an Ansible root key onto the system!

16:38 <TimMc> "Sandstorm-friendly laptop" in this case was an HP EliteBook from like 13 years ago.

16:39 <TimMc> It's not a gaming machine or anything.
