10:24 schestowitz-TR; today I slept a lot extra
10:24 schestowitz-TR; our negotiation inside the company resume this afternoon
10:24 schestowitz-TR; but the more important meetings are in 2 weeks
10:24 schestowitz-TR; yesterday we got the salary, about 3,1k net
10:24 schestowitz-TR; we cannot keep it that high, but saving helps secure the future
10:24 schestowitz-TR; I've just checked the gz archives for today, they're OK

12:47 schestowitz-TR; "I'm new to Gemini. I made a post to Antenna, the blog aggregator. I was interested to see how many hits it generated over 24 hours. After some data munging, I came up with this" gemini://blinkyshark.chickenkiller.com/2022-06-01-gemini-analytics.gmi
12:48 schestowitz-TR; back to coffee today as only two large lemons are left, the firmest of them all
12:48 schestowitz-TR; so no need to hurry anymore
12:56 schestowitz-TR; serious question: should we make more posts about gemini
12:56 schestowitz-TR; as in gemini about gemini
12:56 schestowitz-TR; or no need for now?
12:56 schestowitz-TR; it's one thing some have complained about
12:56 schestowitz-TR; like flattering oneself
12:56 Techrights-sec; ^wrong paste
12:56 Techrights-sec; no need for now, but posts about gemini in http would probably still be helpful
12:56 Techrights-sec; but not often unless /not/ self-referring
12:56 *DaemonFC has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s)
13:02 Techrights-sec; ack
13:02 Techrights-sec; gemini:// protocol links might not pull people to use Gemini; they need info
13:02 Techrights-sec; about how to get the clients first
13:02 Techrights-sec; so far elpa-elpher is in the repositories for Debian derivatives. it can
13:02 Techrights-sec; be promoted
13:03 schestowitz-TR; ok, I know what to do
13:03 schestowitz-TR; I'll drop it in as a "by the way"
13:03 schestowitz-TR; or, as more links in Daily Links
13:03 schestowitz-TR; to give it presence and exposure
13:03 schestowitz-TR; yes, getting people to fetch a proper client is a challenge
13:03 schestowitz-TR; in the proxy it's mentioned at top of all pages
13:03 schestowitz-TR; you said alfora is already, tetatively, in debian 12+derivs (to come)
13:03 schestowitz-TR; so it's going to the right direction, even if slowly
13:04 Techrights-sec; amfora is in the main repository for the latest version AFAIK but not the derivatives yet
13:06 schestowitz-TR; I use it on 3 machines
13:06 schestowitz-TR; on my main machines iirc I have 8 clients
13:10 schestowitz-TR; rave: around geminispace we're recognised as prolific posters, proponents, and coders
13:10 schestowitz-TR; as the other capsules are small and relatively inactive
13:10 schestowitz-TR; so it puts us in a strong position
13:10 schestowitz-TR; many of the original leaders are infrequent posters
13:10 schestowitz-TR; last month we served 500,000 pages
13:10 schestowitz-TR; and those were not 'masturbatory' gemini posts about gemini
13:10 schestowitz-TR; but about all sorts of issues
13:11 Techrights-sec; yes, lots of posts show that the capsule is active but the shorter posts,
13:11 Techrights-sec; especially "memes" need to be summarized in a way which is useful for Gemini
13:11 Techrights-sec; Many of them are, but it is an area which has a lot of room for improvement.
13:11 Techrights-sec; Since the Gemini users are probably skilled and or early adoptwers, they
13:11 Techrights-sec; are an important community to reach
13:12 Techrights-sec; the *text* is the important part IMHO
13:12 Techrights-sec; The image is (or should be) just supplemental
13:13 schestowitz-TR; given the increased storage capacity I can upload select memes to gemini://
13:13 schestowitz-TR; for those who use a GUI or image viewer
13:13 schestowitz-TR; those files are relatively small
13:13 schestowitz-TR; would there be value to adding an http/s link next to image: description?
13:13 Techrights-sec; No, I would think not.
13:18 schestowitz-TR; thinking aloud here,
13:18 schestowitz-TR; surely a gemini proxy for images can or could be set up which takes a request specific
13:18 schestowitz-TR; to a jpeg or similar and sends that back over gemini
13:18 schestowitz-TR; the existing proxy sends that as stream already
13:18 schestowitz-TR; but some adaptation it could work in reverse
13:18 schestowitz-TR; serving the http-served objects over gemini instead
13:18 schestowitz-TR; without having to store the file statically in two place
13:18 schestowitz-TR; only transiently or dynamically, upon demand, ay the proxy endpoint
13:18 schestowitz-TR; it could even be media.techrights.org
13:18 schestowitz-TR; and be its own server software or daemon looking if media.techrights.org/xxxxxxx.jpg
13:18 schestowitz-TR; does correspond to an object over http in techrights.org/xxxxxxx.jpg
13:18 schestowitz-TR; without having to waste space
13:18 schestowitz-TR; basically a protocol converter
13:19 Techrights-sec; The links for the images could point to the other server and be HTTPS / HTTP
13:19 Techrights-sec; instead of converting them
13:22 schestowitz-TR; the gemini clients I tested with would not render, not in line anyway, images that
13:22 schestowitz-TR; are served over protocols other than titan, gopher, gemini etc.
13:22 schestowitz-TR; the idea is to "protect" the user from what we strive to "replace"
13:22 schestowitz-TR; a crazier approach is
13:23 schestowitz-TR; a) use rianne's pi with agate and external drive
13:23 schestowitz-TR; b) instead of drive use /uploads directory from the site
13:23 schestowitz-TR; rsynch overnight
13:23 schestowitz-TR; run over port 1966
13:23 schestowitz-TR; and serve on it media.techrights.org
13:23 schestowitz-TR; then, any attachments [so to speak] from the main site
13:23 schestowitz-TR; would be accessible over media.tr:1966
13:23 schestowitz-TR; with the same path structure
13:25 Techrights-sec; complicated and prone to more race conditions
13:28 schestowitz-TR; the gemini clients I tested with would not render, not in line anyway, images that
13:28 schestowitz-TR; are served over protocols other than titan, gopher, gemini etc.
13:28 schestowitz-TR; the idea is to "protect" the user from what we strive to "replace"
13:28 schestowitz-TR; a crazier approach is
13:28 schestowitz-TR; a) use rianne's pi with agate and external drive
13:28 schestowitz-TR; b) instead of drive use /uploads directory from the site
13:28 schestowitz-TR; rsynch overnight

13:28 schestowitz-TR; and serve on it media.techrights.org
13:28 schestowitz-TR; then, any attachments [so to speak] from the main site
13:28 schestowitz-TR; would be accessible over media.tr:1966
13:28 schestowitz-TR; with the same path structure
13:28 schestowitz-TR; aside from the rsync part, deploying the existing 'upload' directory to a pi (32gb) and setting up a gemini account would take
13:28 schestowitz-TR; me less than 1 hour
13:28 schestowitz-TR; then, if the site is offline, there would be alternative access to these objects
13:28 schestowitz-TR; objects that ipfs lacks as it only has the bulletins and irc logs (those are not under 'uploads'
13:28 schestowitz-TR; at the moment, as rianne and I don't know what comes next month, that pi might be used as a VPN and remain on VPN
13:28 schestowitz-TR; most of the time
13:29 Techrights-sec; VPN is useful in some contexts but at the end of the day they exist almost
13:29 Techrights-sec; exclusively because M$ products cant be exposed to the net and the old
13:29 Techrights-sec; 1980s zero trust model was eliminated
13:31 Techrights-sec; all that is managed by role-based authentication, authorization, and acccess
13:31 Techrights-sec; which M$ eliminated in the 00s
13:31 Techrights-sec; The broke the net
13:31 Techrights-sec; ^They
13:33 schestowitz-TR; the use of vpn in our company is complicated
13:33 schestowitz-TR; it is inherited from policies of clients
13:33 schestowitz-TR; and also being able to "shut out" former employees
13:33 schestowitz-TR; removing account works
13:33 schestowitz-TR; but not when the access credential are for companies other than ours
13:33 schestowitz-TR; did you see what mr. krebs wrote about costa rica yesterday?
13:33 schestowitz-TR; it's in my notes now for next Security Leftovers (TM)
13:33 Techrights-sec; no
13:33 Techrights-sec; I'll check
13:33 Techrights-sec; Interesting re-use of the name Hive:
13:33 Techrights-sec; this may suffer reputational damage from all that, though it is not involved:
13:33 Techrights-sec; https://www.hive.fi/
13:33 Techrights-sec; Like the "Raspberry" ransomware or whatever that was the other week
13:33 -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-www.hive.fi | Hive Helsinki
13:36 schestowitz-TR; OK, anyway scrap/shelve that idea about adding TR objects (PDFs, images) to gemini://
13:36 schestowitz-TR; it seems like a simple idea but a lot of work, esp. long-term maintenance
13:36 schestowitz-TR; there are like 50,000 objects there and they are large
13:36 schestowitz-TR; can become a burden on the home network
13:36 schestowitz-TR; maybe next year we'll take a bite againt at fibreoptics
13:36 Techrights-sec; ok
13:36 schestowitz-TR; once it has been more properly tested
13:36 schestowitz-TR; our connection has been very robust during the pandemic times
13:36 schestowitz-TR; don't want to risk that
13:36 schestowitz-TR; also no further outages since last week's incident
13:36 schestowitz-TR; although we had bad, soggy weather, unlike a week ago
13:36 schestowitz-TR; psydroid2: ^^
13:37 schestowitz-TR; discussed here... at the moment
13:37 schestowitz-TR; we only have about 1Mbit UPstream
13:37 psydroid2; oh right
13:37 schestowitz-TR; some images are MBs in size
13:37 psydroid2; so it may be better not to do that
13:37 psydroid2; it wouldn't make sense
13:37 schestowitz-TR; gemini pages are like <10KB
13:41 Techrights-sec; ack
13:42 schestowitz-TR; prior to the next AC meeting, determining the future of "Tony", I expect us to have many textial publications
13:42 schestowitz-TR; lately we've focus on many, many Daily Links
13:42 schestowitz-TR; seeing that other sites are struggling at it
13:42 schestowitz-TR; TuxMachines is 18 shortly
13:44 Techrights-sec; ack
14:39 schestowitz-TR; OTA
14:39 schestowitz-TR; go over gemini
14:39 schestowitz-TR; draft
15:20 Techrights-sec; ack
15:20 Techrights-sec; could use a link to a gemini client
15:21 schestowitz-TR; right, too late now
15:21 schestowitz-TR; meeting i n 10 mins
15:22 schestowitz-TR; wine in the fridge either way
15:22 schestowitz-TR; even if i get my part time freedom
15:22 schestowitz-TR; i always felty it would be imploite to ask
15:22 Techrights-sec; ack
15:22 Techrights-sec; good luck
16:59 schestowitz-TR; i put forth my suggestion of going part time
16:59 schestowitz-TR; it was welcomed by ceo
16:59 schestowitz-TR; but colleagues ... no comment
16:59 Techrights-sec; the colleagues probably do not benefit from a reduction in your hours, both
16:59 Techrights-sec; because of the skillset and experience you have and the extra hours they
16:59 Techrights-sec; will have to cover
17:01 schestowitz-TR; it is worse
17:01 schestowitz-TR; me suggesting this means they too might have to consider thre same
17:01 schestowitz-TR; and I don't know if their spouses are employed
17:01 schestowitz-TR; we would be fine with net 2k instead or ~3k
17:01 schestowitz-TR; for them, under 1k barely covers rent
17:01 schestowitz-TR; they live near london
17:07 schestowitz-TR; ceo loved my suggestion
17:07 schestowitz-TR; welcomed it and mentioned it 3 times, rianne recalls
17:07 schestowitz-TR; calling it "generous"
17:07 schestowitz-TR; I've long wanted to do this
17:07 schestowitz-TR; and now there's a chance to do so without it being "imploite"
17:07 schestowitz-TR; but "generous" :-)
17:07 schestowitz-TR; it's enough to sail into retirement (assuming we stay afloat another 23 years... we turn 24 this year)
17:07 schestowitz-TR; without spending a few hours per week, maybe a net of 1-2 hours a week (net work)
17:07 schestowitz-TR; based on the scoring they showed, I rank high for never taking any sick leave, ever, and working longer than all the colleagues
17:07 schestowitz-TR; you might call it "semi early retirement"
17:07 Techrights-sec; good that it was well received there
17:08 schestowitz-TR; I will finalise my text accordingly maybe 4 weeks from now
17:08 schestowitz-TR; to not say anything that can afford
17:08 schestowitz-TR; *offend (sorry, wine's fault)
17:10 schestowitz-TR; I joins Fed 11 2011 so it's kind of a long-term commitment by today's awful standards (not many people last over a decade;
17:10 schestowitz-TR; for rianne it's her longgest job... second longest was 8.5 years)
17:10 schestowitz-TR; *I joined Feb 2011
17:15 Techrights-sec; ack
17:34 Techrights-sec; does the company have any formally recognized advatages for seniority?
17:35 schestowitz-TR; it is one of the factors in case of redundancies
17:35 schestowitz-TR; among others
17:35 schestowitz-TR; but remember it's a "milking" thing
17:35 schestowitz-TR; no desire to advance
17:35 schestowitz-TR; full-time activism is a lot more important
17:35 schestowitz-TR; but acticism is not a source of income
17:48 Techrights-sec; ack
17:50 schestowitz-TR; also, when you aim low you can end up on top
17:50 schestowitz-TR; when you aim high, you're getting knackered keeping up
17:50 schestowitz-TR; I need all my energy for TR
17:50 schestowitz-TR; rianne for TM
17:50 Techrights-sec; ack
17:50 schestowitz-TR; she took the b runk of my work shifts at times
17:50 schestowitz-TR; *brant
17:50 schestowitz-TR; *brunt
17:51 schestowitz-TR; I do aim high, but not in my job

17:59 schestowitz-TR; yes, I did wear better clothes this week
17:59 schestowitz-TR; as there was a meerting coming
17:59 schestowitz-TR; (I had to click continue about 50 times to watch this giuft)
18:01 Techrights-sec; there is no javascript at the above, at least no obligatory js
18:01 schestowitz-TR; many domains
18:03 Techrights-sec; works fine with noscript cranked all the way up
18:04 schestowitz-TR; "better clothes" = mor 'forma'
18:04 schestowitz-TR; not comfortable
18:04 schestowitz-TR; so as to not gives the "slob" impression
18:06 Techrights-sec; ack
18:06 schestowitz-TR; no js plugins tackle one particular problem
18:06 schestowitz-TR; but one of many
18:16 schestowitz-TR; so far this season it has never been warm enough for me to open the door for air rather than "hear the football fans"
18:16 schestowitz-TR; so I've not had a chance to work with the laptop outdoors... since last summer
18:16 schestowitz-TR; i need some direct sun exposure, even if for a short period of time
