smaller image ready, let's deploy!

so emmc tends to have more common bad blocks that expected. this shanged the repurposed boards I am using on 14 of them to only have 3.3gb of storage instead of 4GB.

the image is only 1.3gb, do this is totally fine.

Scriptomatically, all loaded up now, and the first of the "bad" boards is getting bitblasted as I type.

fully automating the deploy pipeline may seem silly for 200 boards, but a good hacker is lazy.
@thegibson hacker tip number 2 - never do manually what you can automate.

@Wrewdison @thegibson

I have a funny anecdote about this:

When I was in university, there were two professors from my research lab giving the same class and using the same multiple question exams.

One time they had a massive pile of exams to grade. They split the pile in 3, one for each professor and one for a PhD student to grade.

Both professors started to conjecture what was the best way to automate the exam grading, since it was multiple choice.

While they were still evaluating how to best do the detection of the selected alternative and generate an answer sheet, the PhD student just handed them his part of the pile.

"Oh my god, how did you do it so quick?!?!"

"Oh, I just did it by hand"

@Wrewdison @thegibson UNLESS DOING IT MANUALLY IS FUN OR OTHERWISE EMOTIONALLY STABILIZING
@randomgeek @thegibson there are exceptions to all rules

@Wrewdison @thegibson except that one wait DAMMIT I jumped too quick and hypercubed my brain

again
