[Chicken-users] Askemos again; this time bad news. Needs some support/donation.

[Jörg F . Wittenberger]

Hello <$all>,

we've been recently in touch regarding Askemos.  Now I might need
some help, if you can.

Until Wed, 23 Jan 2013 15:55:00 +0100 the Askemos cloud ran on
a rather healthy mix of peers.

…An almost healthy mix, that is.  For historic reasons three of
those eight peers of the development network, which originally where
at different locations, ended up behind a single point of failure.  Since
the system promises fail-stop, I can't even add a note into my blog.

 Given the trouble I expect more.  In case of trouble: all URL's
 given here would/could/should be served from several locations.
 *IF* the URL after the askemos.org part starts with an
   "A[0-9a-f]{32}" path step, just replace the prefix with
 any other replica and retry.  Odds are 5:8.

 For hosts still visible see appendix.
   
So find the reference cited above under
http://login.softeyes.net/Ad60e3fb123a79b2e5128915116b288f7/index.html/
or it's alternatives while I'm fixing the DNS etc.

@Ian Grigg and Allison Stellíng: the same applies to the not-so-private 
message I just sent out minutes before the disaster happend. Find the 
"one-pager"-message wrt. system theory under hash code: 
A5ae3c14013b6fe38b4aa66a2697e097f that would be e.g. 
http://login.softeyes.net/A5ae3c14013b6fe38b4aa66a2697e097f or 
http://peanut.softeyes.net:7080/A5ae3c14013b6fe38b4aa66a2697e097f [the 
latter being a plug computer at home only].

I just wanted to add a forgotten note beneath the T&C DISCLAIMER 
http://cl.softeyes.net:8080/A5ae3c14013b6fe38b4aa66a2697e097f/Systems%20in%20Genetic%20Autopoesis

This: "The hypothesis wrt. cancer would be that the strict rule
*no communication along the diagonal* where shortcut.
Leading into a 'thermodynamic chaos'."

When those three peers disappeared.



## The Needs - Short Term

To fix the case I rather urgently need to find at least two
locations, where I dare to replicate my notes wrt. to my personal
privacy.  One already secured; so one more whom I can trust
not to embarrass me by leaking info taking as a "remembrance to
myself".  Preferable outside Germany.


## Minimum requirements

BALL became a bit like the Swiss-army knife wrt. small scale
ISP needs not having a solutions widely deployed for a reason.

For operation it needs to bind to a port at the moment.
Run as some isolated user it needs to be able to maintain the
contents of one directory.


## Participate - Long Term

The more parties joining the network, the better it should help
with privacy, safety and autonomy.

### Regarding the Healthiness

So far we had

♣: AMD64, i386, ARM

♠: Chicken, Rscheme

♡: FreeBSD, Linux

♢: GPL, BSD

for symbols see A5ae3c14013b6fe38b4aa66a2697e097f , the
"not so private" draft message.

At the moment RScheme and FreeBSD are gone; leaving
both the pure GPL and the BSD stack incomplete.



Thanks for your time.
