07:41 techrights-sec1; tldr; ipfs blocks disk i/o
08:00 techrights-sec1; Lost in the scroll back was a lengthy analysis of the ipfs problem.
08:00 techrights-sec1; One work-around would be to have the Gemini script turn off the IPFS
08:00 techrights-sec1; stuff for the duration of the task and then turn it back on at the end.
08:00 techrights-sec1; Additional, but insufficient alone, would be to ionice and nice the IPFS
08:00 techrights-sec1; tools upon startup.
08:01 schestowitz-TR2; sorry, scrollback was lost
08:01 schestowitz-TR2; I made a habit of backing it up to text editor
08:17 techrights-sec1; There needs to be a way to turn off IPFS on demand by the Gemini script.
08:17 techrights-sec1; I looked but there seems to be no systemd unit files for it.
08:17 techrights-sec1; Also the ipfs binary is from 5 Aug, I think there have been updates since
08:17 techrights-sec1; then.

08:47 schestowitz-TR2; ipfs has not behaved correctly lately
08:47 schestowitz-TR2; running multiple processes
08:47 schestowitz-TR2; looking into it atm,
08:47 schestowitz-TR2; ok, I _think_ gemini is up to date now
08:47 schestowitz-TR2; maybe it missed some older pages outside the range of the rss feed
08:47 schestowitz-TR2; The problem was that ipfs had slip out of control again
08:47 schestowitz-TR2; I'll monitor to see if that happens again
08:47 schestowitz-TR2; Im am adding to myn morning routine checking top to see if ipfs works correctly
08:47 schestowitz-TR2; and also checking gemini pages are created properly
08:47 schestowitz-TR2; ipfs was being a resource hog because it was spawning additional processes
08:48 techrights-sec1; I re-ran the script which fetches the pages manually so that the the
08:48 techrights-sec1; 28th onward were converted from HTML to Gemini. It was the indexing
08:48 techrights-sec1; which choked due to IPFS hogging the disk continually.
08:48 techrights-sec1; Did you restart IPFS with ionice?
08:52 schestowitz-TR2; i've just stopped it it and rerun it with ionice
08:52 schestowitz-TR2; also added to the script
08:52 techrights-sec1; Is IPFS running the latest version?
08:52 techrights-sec1; The gemini scripts won't work unless either IPFS has a lower i/o priority
08:52 techrights-sec1; or is temporarily off. Maybe there will be a better situation with
08:52 techrights-sec1; a newer version.
08:52 techrights-sec1; Can you please add a means for the scripts to turn on and off ipfs?
08:52 techrights-sec1; Thanks! ionice will help
08:54 schestowitz-TR2; remember ipfs was NOT working correctly lately
08:54 schestowitz-TR2; caused a few issues
08:54 schestowitz-TR2; that's aside from the server, which works OK
08:54 schestowitz-TR2; it looks like round robin now lets ipfs in and then puts it aside if it chokes io
08:55 schestowitz-TR2; sorry, it does seem like a suisance sometimes
08:55 schestowitz-TR2; *nouisance
08:56 schestowitz-TR2; but www is not the future
08:56 schestowitz-TR2; I think it makes sense to experiment with other transport protocols
08:56 schestowitz-TR2; some people nowadays come to irc through gemini
09:00 schestowitz-TR2; one important contrib of TR (and TM, in tandem) is that it helps people assess the news
09:00 schestowitz-TR2; in Linux/FS and in general
09:00 schestowitz-TR2; and that has a knockon effect as many who read TR also run their own sites
09:00 schestowitz-TR2; a bit of a domini effetc
09:00 schestowitz-TR2; the 'nuisance' protocols are investment ahead of transition, methinkg

11:20 schestowitz-TR2; education https://www.commondreams.org/views/2022/10/31/teacher-exodus-proves-we-are-willfully-destroying-us-public-education | Source: Common Dreams
11:20 -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-www.commondreams.org | Opinion | Teacher Exodus Proves We Are Willfully Destroying US Public Education | Steven Singer
11:27 schestowitz-TR2; i am 40, so anything prior to 2000 in higher edu is not something I am familiar with
11:27 schestowitz-TR2; when I had an undergrad supervisor she was overworked with teaching and marking up examples
11:27 schestowitz-TR2; *exams
11:27 schestowitz-TR2; the latter does not require very advwance knowlkedge, it is quite mechanical, and poor use of skilled
11:27 schestowitz-TR2; staff who could otherwise do decent research
11:27 schestowitz-TR2; clerical work seems to have increased since while pay stagnated
11:27 schestowitz-TR2; this is why many skilled people go "to industry"
11:27 schestowitz-TR2; and academic attracts some overworked flunkies
11:27 schestowitz-TR2; this, in turn, lowers the quality of "eduction"
11:27 schestowitz-TR2; which in context of CS seems to be shifting from concepts and problem-solving into training courses
11:27 schestowitz-TR2; of sorts
11:27 schestowitz-TR2; to "prepare students for the world" (private sector)
11:27 schestowitz-TR2; i heard that schools teach "ICT" and it's basically not ICT
11:27 schestowitz-TR2; they train for GUIs
11:38 techrights-sec1; The "education" has become training and even that has been watered down.
11:38 techrights-sec1; Furthermore, the degrees in Europe have been whittled down to 3 years which
11:38 techrights-sec1; is not enough time to learn a major let alone get a well-rounded education.
11:38 techrights-sec1; There just are not simply enough credit hours per degree to get more than
11:38 techrights-sec1; a rudimentary exposure to the core material. The schedule is so tight that
11:38 techrights-sec1; no essential related material can get covered. This has now gone on for
11:38 techrights-sec1; two, soon three, academic generations. So you have the blind leading the blind.
11:38 techrights-sec1; In the US the situation is far more dire. In the EU, the basic K-12 has been
11:38 techrights-sec1; torpedoed too but the US lost 40% right off the bat during the Reagan
11:38 techrights-sec1; administration and then has been cut every year since. So there simply aren't
11:38 techrights-sec1; any left in the work force to outnumber the know-nothings.
11:38 techrights-sec1; Then there is the subversion of the universities on both sides of the pond
11:38 techrights-sec1; from education to half-assed training.
11:38 techrights-sec1; Too much ranting, though the situation is much more dire than expressed above.
11:38 techrights-sec1; They train GUIs but if academia were to have always been chasing its tail
11:38 techrights-sec1; like it does now, we'd still be on CP/M
11:38 techrights-sec1; Via the Bologne Treaty the universities were turned into captive markets for
11:38 techrights-sec1; failed businesses, nothing more, nothing less.
11:44 techrights-sec1; And those posing as lecturers or teachers for the most part lack not just
11:44 techrights-sec1; the knowledge and the theories, but even awareness of the knowledge and
11:44 techrights-sec1; theoretical foundation they are missing.
11:44 techrights-sec1; Logging in Mosquitto is lame. e.g.

11:58 techrights-sec1; It seemed to have stopped a while ago, but it did not give a reason for stopping
11:58 schestowitz-TR2; I stopped it at my end or rather restarted it around the time you pasted the rrror
12:29 schestowitz-TR2; I'd do a video about this tech if I knew more about it and how it works
12:29 schestowitz-TR2; how do you envision the future of "content" "consumption"?
12:29 schestowitz-TR2; rianne and I discussed it this morning in re tm
12:29 schestowitz-TR2; as we see sites that grind to a halt or become webspam (too many! even pjoronix flirts with that)
12:47 techrights-sec1; I'm a little too pessimistic at the moment to forecast "content" "consumption"
12:47 techrights-sec1; but the trend of abusing the browser as a VM is not sustainable. They'd
12:47 techrights-sec1; be doing less work to come up with something pseudo-proprietary like
12:47 techrights-sec1; ChromeOS or SteamDeck but passed around as a VM image or container itself.
12:47 techrights-sec1; However, adding in the hardware like they do makes it age out faster. Both
12:47 techrights-sec1; by wearing out and breaking down but also through scheduled cessation of
12:47 techrights-sec1; continued support and inability to replace the OS with a general purpose
12:47 techrights-sec1; system.
12:51 schestowitz-TR2; i share this sentiment and this is discussed in irc atm
12:51 schestowitz-TR2; namely, all those things that will be "out of support" after onyl a few years
12:51 schestowitz-TR2; inc. cars
12:51 schestowitz-TR2; and durability of appliances
12:51 schestowitz-TR2; looking around me, I have a laptop from this year (cheap), one from 2016, one 2015, one from 2016
12:51 schestowitz-TR2; "ted" died in 2020 after a series of issues ending with a bad drive
12:51 schestowitz-TR2; ted was 2009 baby
12:51 schestowitz-TR2; you shared a post about how sites should remove things to make themselves easier to run in the long run
12:52 schestowitz-TR2; but www itself might be a languishing protocol
12:52 schestowitz-TR2; in the tram we see some people messing about with "phone"
12:52 schestowitz-TR2; I assume they don't use them to get news
12:52 schestowitz-TR2; but pseudo-social noise
12:52 schestowitz-TR2; when the general public follows sport and gossip it keeps it out of the way of people in charge
12:52 schestowitz-TR2; "I don't follow politics, sorry..."
12:59 techrights-sec1; No, I get the impression that most people just fiddle addictively with the
12:59 techrights-sec1; "apps" on "their" smartphones with no expectation of being informed, involved,
12:59 techrights-sec1; or enlightened. It's a pure, empty addiction as far as I can tell.
13:02 schestowitz-TR2; ahead of us at one stage I gleaned over at a man in his 50s checking the score of the ongoing man united
13:02 schestowitz-TR2; football match
13:02 schestowitz-TR2; using the billBC Web site, which I boycott
13:02 schestowitz-TR2; I told rianne later that what he did there for 30 seconds I do by just moving my eye to a corner on the
13:02 schestowitz-TR2; screen where the score is presented in real time
13:02 schestowitz-TR2; whils doing actual work
13:02 schestowitz-TR2; the small device and lack of mouse, keyboard etc. means people merely get an illusion of achieving
13:02 schestowitz-TR2; stuff
13:02 schestowitz-TR2; even listening to the score on the radio, as we did in the 80s, is better
13:02 schestowitz-TR2; but it's "old tech" so we're not meant to think it's relevant anymore
13:02 schestowitz-TR2; even am radio with low-grade modulation can achieve so much more than these smut phones
13:02 schestowitz-TR2; with their battery life of only a few meager hours
13:02 schestowitz-TR2; my rca from the 90s lasted days
13:03 schestowitz-TR2; (on the radio the people are trained to tell you what's happening under the assumption you cannot see
13:03 schestowitz-TR2; it and need description of what's happening)
13:06 schestowitz-TR2; you could work in the garage or clean the house while listening
13:06 schestowitz-TR2; some podcasts on youtube I was using like this while doing home chores, but now with ads it would
13:06 schestowitz-TR2; be infeasible, albeit for now invidious does a good job weeding out the ads
13:31 techrights-sec1; That's an advantage for Gemini, you could run GemText through a reader and
13:31 techrights-sec1; listen to the document. Some of the programs for that are getting quite good.
13:32 schestowitz-TR2; beter than EC "webapps" for sure
13:32 schestowitz-TR2; where the content is not even linear
13:32 schestowitz-TR2; so it is not clear how to f*ing read the darn thing
13:49 techrights-sec1; I would guess that someone or group in a position of influence there at the EC
13:49 techrights-sec1; has done their best to 1) mindlessly chase trends and along the way
13:49 techrights-sec1; 2) find new subtle ways to exclude and disenfranchise large portions of
13:49 techrights-sec1; the citizenry.
13:49 techrights-sec1; Notably they have prevented linking to anything within the site, that above
13:49 techrights-sec1; all tells a lot.
13:50 schestowitz-TR2; this is not a new problem but it has pissed me off for a long time
13:50 schestowitz-TR2; the EUIPO's site is the same
13:50 schestowitz-TR2; cannot even see a press release without bootstrapping some bloated program
13:50 schestowitz-TR2; and even then it is very slow and cumbersome
13:50 schestowitz-TR2; EPO's site is not that bad (yet)
13:51 techrights-sec1; "engagement" :(
13:54 schestowitz-TR2; maybe they should add 16x16 pixel PNGs/Gifs for each button
13:54 schestowitz-TR2; and then boast about 100 "hits" per visit
13:54 schestowitz-TR2; and also preload things as you scroll down
13:54 schestowitz-TR2; to drive up "impressions"
13:54 schestowitz-TR2; the psedudo "pageloads"
13:54 schestowitz-TR2; to give peoople a false understanding of their so-called 'audience'
13:54 schestowitz-TR2; twitter fakes it further by faking these numbers some more
13:54 schestowitz-TR2; esp. when it pretends to mr. "gays attacks pelosi" that twitter is still relevanmt
13:54 schestowitz-TR2; i was right about musk taking it down the drain
13:54 schestowitz-TR2; he started VERY poorly
13:54 schestowitz-TR2; slow-motion LeeNode
13:54 schestowitz-TR2; or VOAT when Reddit had a "new" site
13:55 techrights-sec1; Just about anything that take twitter down for the count can't be all bad.
13:55 techrights-sec1; Reddit was always fraud and lies. Now it is an epicenter of a corporaye
13:55 techrights-sec1; disinformationn movement.
13:56 schestowitz-TR2; Broasie Robertson insists it's a good place for his "research"
13:56 schestowitz-TR2; i.e. filtered corporate junk
