Create block devices on your computer backed by Redstone Memory
- jesse__ 2y agoThe ingenuity of Minecraft players never ceases to amaze me
- mroche 2y agoI'm speechless, it is amazing this is even possible. But it's more impressive to me that someone actually thought of this idea and decided to attempt it in the first place. Sometimes side and off-the-cuff projects are just wacky enough to become amusingly interesting, and inspiring to try something crazy yourself.
- peterleiser 2y agoI look forward to watching my future grandchildren install a minecraft mod that dematerializes them and let's them play inside minecraft. Then I'll start ranting about Tron and they'll just shake their heads about Grandpa and how he still lives on the old Earth moon colony.
- hun3 2y agoAll fun and games until Enderman starts shitting bad sectors all over the place
- kQq9oHeAz6wLLS 2y agoOh, good, now when a creeper blows up I lose more than just my fancy dirt house.
- teeray 2y agoJust need ECC redstone memory. Creepers are just a Minecraft cosmic ray.
- nkrisc 2y agoHow about a Minecraft server that contains its own data in the world.
- shepherdjerred 2y agoThis would be such a fun idea for a game/server
- jszymborski 2y agoSet up a bunch of creeper spawners and try to defend the server files before the server goes down. Kinda makes me think of the show ReBoot.
- lukebuehler 2y ago> If playing multiplayer, the mod must be installed serverside. Shoot! Would have been fun to create my block storage on an anarchy server and then fight to defend files in Minecraft.
- ryukoposting 2y agoEvery day we get closer to my dream of hosting a Minecraft server inside of a Minecraft server.
- singlepaynews 2y agoWhat’s left here? I never took operating systems, going direct from EE bachelor to CS master’s, so this post/comment is perfectly at the gap in my education—I understand the metal->transistor->flop memory we see here, and the server->application->Minecraft you’re imagining, what needs to be built from red stone to go from flop memory->server?
- dartos 2y agoJust someone willing to build a full ARM emulator with VGA and IO in redstone. Once you can get Linux booting, you can start writing kernel modules to support the various redstone IO devices. Once that’s all hooked up, you try compiling Java. Once Java is running you’re off. It’d probably be terribly slow though, unless you made a redstone optimized CPU. Then you’d need to get Linux building on that.
- singlepaynews 2y agoRock on, I have implemented the components of ARM, but at an undergrad homework assignment level, not a “emulate ARM” level. Am I correct to say this class is called computer architecture? Linux is obviously Operating Systems, and “compiling Java” is Compilers—I think this is a 3 semester project if we can align schedules and keep the team together
- snapcaster 2y agoThis is so cool, love it
- jorgelbg 2y agoNow we can recreate the Hackers(1995) movie scene(s) about the files: https://www.reddit.com/r/retrobattlestations/comments/5wl34g/the_requested_hackers_gibson_computer_wallpaper/?tl=de#lightbox https://www.reddit.com/r/retrobattlestations/comments/5wl34g....

- rwmj 2y agoThe cool thing is these were physical plastic models rather than CGI renders.
- Madhouse61 2y agoThis is really cool, I've always liked the idea of being super close to hardware, like being able to visually inspect it, walk around it like it's your kitchen or something, and make modifications to it. Something akin to walking downtown NYC or any big city
- kstrauser 2y agoThis is getting close to the metaverse I actually wanted.
- _jholland 2y agoAnother great Harder Drive to add to the list: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=JcJSW7Rprio https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=JcJSW7Rprio Tom7 made a similar one in Tetris as part of the above video
- Topgamer7 2y agoI watched that video a few days ago. It was wild. The ping backed memory storage is great . That man baffles me. He spent 16 years running every street in Philadelphia, starting and ending from home.
- hun3 2y ago> The ping backed memory storage It's worth noting that this is a network reincarnation of the old tried-and-true delay-line memory. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delay-line_memory https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delay-line_memory
