No more energy got from coal, gas, or idropower (not so clean, too)... This embedded board take power from a solar panel installed in Savona, near the seaside in a place full of sun.
The current is stabilized by an electronic circuit, self-made using recycled parts and new ones. The industrial board has a fanless design and assures minimal consumption and maximal reliability. To obtain an high availability service the critical parts of the operating system are stored on a flash drive.
I will build a statistics site to watch the power used by the server and a detail of the quote taken from the solar panel. As soon as possible the setup will be put in production.
Today too many bad men are conditioning the flow of the information, that was born free (as in "free speach", not "free beer") and wants to be free. Here people can publish informations in a clean way, for free and without the influence of money, lobbies, politicians, religions, madness. We sponsor contaminations and differences, communication and comparison, absolute tolerance and brotherwood.
Musicians, poets, graphic artists, drunks, dancers, speakers, jumpers, indie film directors, car tuners, coders, cloud runners, body painters, hackers, crazy lovers are welcome.

To mantain a sort of indipendence we don´t use to fill our pages with banner and other kind of garbage. The conseguence is that there will be no economical gain derived from your web page hosted here.
The idle cpu-time of our servers is involved in boinc project, please consider to contact us and join our team. This is a bash script I wrote to manage the cpu affinity mask of the linux scheduler, trying to reduce cache poisoning. I put it in cron to run every minute redirecting the standard output to /dev/null.
There are no words to thank Savonaonline for all the support and patience in so many years of sweat, working hard to build and test network appliances, gaining the skills needed to obtain these results. All this projects is dedicated to these menatwork, friend, brothers. ....and of course to all You contributors.
