Friends He never felt guilty for how he looked. He was always like that. Nobody really knows what happened, maybe it was a wrong scale factor on the horizontal axis that made his belly so large, or maybe the unrestrained thirst for the information… Now since he joined the small but cozy rack shelf he’s been called The Big Guy over and over again. Yes, that’s how Cinodave likes to call him, right before exploding with a spasm of a contagious laugh.

I did a lot of improvements on the hardware side recently. But finally it’s time to get back to designing and coding 😄. Today I won’t be showing something new. Instead I’d like to start a series of posts describing in great detail Cinode internals. I slowly but steadily worked on the content for a few months already - let’s finally release it. First area covered here will be about dynamic links.

There wasn’t any update from my side for a while, I’ve been busy with family and work duties. But since there is the risk that the project will significantly slow down once you stop doing regular updates I decided that it’s time to write a few words. So let’s keep the ball rolling and quickly post an update about some improvements that I managed to do recently. Not much of the new code that I added to Cinode but there are some improvements on the hardware side.

What is a side project, even the most interesting and challenging one without a lot of fun 🤸? We don’t want to spend our free time with boring stuff, do we? What brings us joy is what pushes good side projects forward. The fun aspect is what I’d like to focus on today and drift away a bit from the technicalities behind Cinode 🙃. There will be a bit of a source code at the end so you may want to scroll down if you’re not interested in the fun part 😉.

My recent experiment around Cinode was about checking how it works in different execution environments. Cinode is written in the Go language so is should be trivial to run it on many CPU architectures and operating systems. Let’s see how it works in practice though. So today I’d like to share the results of my recent test where I tried to run Cinode on Raspberry Pi Zero W and La Frite.
