Hi g00r00,

Is from your side already decided if the current PreAlpha version A48 will get a 64 bit Raspberry Pi version for the upcoming stable version? Or is this only planned for A49 or later?

Best regards
Alisha

Hi g00r00,

Is from your side already decided if the current PreAlpha version A48
will get a 64 bit Raspberry Pi version for the upcoming stable version?
Or is this only planned for A49 or later?

I think I'll release A48 in a week or two and then I'll release A49 once I get the Pi 64-bit version going. Its possible A48 could still include one but probably unlikely.

The problem I face with a 64-bit ARM version (and the new Apple hardware) is that I don't have hardware to develop on.

I have considered a setup something like this for Pi development (as an alternative to the Pi 4, which prices have tripled for thanks to scalpers):

Full transparency: My budget is $95 which is about 2 years of donations (mostly from one person who doesn't donate anymore) so this is a little bit of an investment. I am trying not to spend my own money on hardware that is only used for Mystic at this point in my life lol.

I am also looking at emulation options which is what I tried once before with pretty poor results. And I might have a Pi 3 to use which I think can run 64-bit Raspberry Pi OS?

Sounds to me, we should all donate as sysops. Even if it's $10 and we all do it for your time.

Where we can donate like paypal or somthing?

Is there as well a change to get with A49 Multi Core and Multi Thread Support for Mystic BBS? Right now my Problem is that mutil with the maint.ini runs more then 4h every Day.

PurgeMessageBases = true
PackMessageBases = true
MergeNodeLists = true
PackFileBases = true
LinkMessages = true
FileSort = true
PurgeUserBase = true
PackUserBase = true

In this time there is no import of messages/netmails and as well
no export of messages/netmails to peers and points.

Would be nice when mutil can run in Multi Core and Multi Thread mode to speed up flows.

Best regards

Alisha

Most tasks should be completing in a fraction of one second, not 4 hours. What process and disk are you using? If for example you're using an SD card and regenereating all your databases then you are probably hardware bottlenecked by the read speed of the disk. In that case nothing I can do will improve that.

PurgeMessageBases = true
PackMessageBases = true
MergeNodeLists = true
PackFileBases = true
LinkMessages = true
FileSort = true
PurgeUserBase = true
PackUserBase = true

The first thing I see is that the packing functions aren't something you run all day every day, or even once daily. They are things that should be ran manually once every so often - maybe once a month. But even so, those things should take seconds to complete if you're not disk bottlenecked.

Purging can be run more often but its still not really something you'd want to run throughout the day.

Here's the output of my BBS executing on a 5 year old laptop that has an SSD drive on it with a message base that hasn't been purged or packed for probably 6+ months (so you'll see lots of work to be done). The entire thing even when doing a monthly maint execution takes seconds. Your every day tasks should be completing in fractions of a second.

Alisha,

There is now a 64-bit version for ARM (Pi) available in the downloads prealpha directory on mysticbbs.com! :)

I've just updated all versions of Mystic with the latest code there.

Hello g00r00!

Replying to a msg dated 08 Jan 23 00:10, from you to me.

yes i see it the new P64 Version, i will start tomorrow with the Test.

But i see that TELNET (mys112a48_l64.rar 2023-01-07 23:09 1.0M ) is actual not working in the latest A48 Version from today/this night.

It close the connection imidiatly with "Connection closed by foreign host." Probably somthing is broken, by the Update vom the previus A48 Version to now.

Best regards

Alisha

Ok I have fixed that for all of the other versions in the latest build. I will upload the Pi 64-bit build in about 30 minutes which will have the fix for that too.

Thanks for letting me know.
