In version 3.x you would get a text rendering of each page, but now you only get a terse *"To use the Mastodon web application, please enable JavaScript"* message." gemini://libreserver.org/blog/emerging-from-darkness.gmi

03:35 techrightssec2; Thinking about it, it would not be good to keep refering to ${formerEmployer} as
03:35 techrightssec2; "open-source" or "open source" at all but instead as a formerly open source
03:35 techrightssec2; company.
03:35 techrightssec2; Otherwise the rants risk painting actual Open Source or mayb even Free and Open
03:35 techrightssec2; Source software in a bad light by creating confusion or a bad association.
03:36 schestowitz-TR; the problem is, there are many companies called "Sirius"
03:36 schestowitz-TR; including XM
04:29 techrightssec2; Right, however the main point is to avoid tying the phrase to a company that
04:29 techrightssec2; is quite bad and heading down the drain even though it was once rather good
04:29 techrightssec2; to work at, pre-NDA
04:30 schestowitz-TR; curiously enough one file did not get copied to ipfs last night
04:30 schestowitz-TR; I detected this because I monittor closely with sanity checks
04:30 schestowitz-TR; the logs suggest it was passed
04:30 schestowitz-TR; but I could not see it there
04:30 schestowitz-TR; sent it manually
04:30 schestowitz-TR; rerunning now
04:30 schestowitz-TR; it's the latest bulletin file
04:30 schestowitz-TR; it did copy it correctly to the local ipfs node (pi)
04:30 schestowitz-TR; strange that verbose rsync would show it as passing ok
04:30 schestowitz-TR; comes to show you cannot blindly rely on that
04:30 schestowitz-TR; side upside: I realised irc scrollback in gemini was not running
04:30 schestowitz-TR; it lost the link yesterday
04:30 schestowitz-TR; oh, wait, logging worked OK, I think
04:30 schestowitz-TR; it shows it passing ok to the pi
04:30 schestowitz-TR; nothing shown for the server
04:30 schestowitz-TR; so everything does get caught at the end
04:30 schestowitz-TR; I'm happier now :-)
04:30 schestowitz-TR; what do you suggest I refer to the company as? There are also some unknowns, as there
04:30 schestowitz-TR; might be more romance there

07:53 schestowitz-TR; starting the year on strong note, will cover gnu/linux shgare and IAM FUD. OTA! (AIM)
08:19 techrightssec2; I'm not sure of what to refer to the company as
08:20 schestowitz-TR; recording 2 videos
08:20 schestowitz-TR; one will use the web stats for a "positive note" wrt AIM FUD
08:20 schestowitz-TR; OTA
08:20 techrightssec2; ack
08:20 techrightssec2; excellent\
08:37 schestowitz-TR; my failed run at ipfs seems to have thrown your scripts off course
08:37 schestowitz-TR; the irc post for today is a repat of yesterday's
08:37 schestowitz-TR; can you re-run the script?
08:37 schestowitz-TR; the post slug ought to stay the same:
08:37 schestowitz-TR; irc-log-010132-2
08:37 schestowitz-TR; to avoid breaking any links
08:37 schestowitz-TR; but the title and body need to be changed and it's hard from my end
08:37 schestowitz-TR; the hash for the daily bulletin is now there
08:37 schestowitz-TR; my manual fix corrected it
08:40 techrightssec2; It'll have to be a manual update. Checking ...
09:12 schestowitz-TR; thanks, this whole thing emanated from the bulletin not being passed to the ipfs server
09:12 schestowitz-TR; for reasons not known to me, maybe a network glitch
09:12 schestowitz-TR; sorry, I was recording
09:12 techrightssec2; ok it has been re-run, perhaps a link from the old to the new is needed?
09:13 schestowitz-TR; while recording I saw the corrections :-) this distracted me a bit :-)
09:13 schestowitz-TR; checking...
09:19 schestowitz-TR; the correction style is excellent as no links get broken
09:19 schestowitz-TR; checking the link...
09:35 techrightssec2; The input text is left as-is for the most part. Some editing can be done inside
09:35 techrightssec2; the nano editor's session.
09:48 schestowitz-TR; dr farnell's message is interesting
09:48 schestowitz-TR; seems like an epidemic is unhappy tech workers
09:48 schestowitz-TR; just like nurses
09:48 schestowitz-TR; rianne was just mentioning nerses and gps
09:48 schestowitz-TR; i told her not only a gp finds himself overworked and underpaid these days
09:48 schestowitz-TR; so it's good to know it's a widespread phenomenon
09:48 schestowitz-TR; btw, epo wiki about to reach 3 ml views
09:48 schestowitz-TR; drafting the article about AIM atm
10:17 schestowitz-TR; draft
10:17 schestowitz-TR; btw, not many people turn on xmas light this year
10:17 schestowitz-TR; or hours very limited
10:17 schestowitz-TR; same for fireworkd
10:17 schestowitz-TR; so a lot of the mood is "lost"
10:22 techrightssec2; more details on market share stats might be useful, especially that GNU.Linux
10:22 techrightssec2; is growing in market share in India
10:22 techrightssec2; Fireworks reduction is good all around, they are a safety and environmental
10:22 techrightssec2; hazard, not to mention a problem for dogs. Most lights, though consume very\
10:22 techrightssec2; little so while the energy adds up at scale it'd be even better for people
10:22 techrightssec2; to unplug or (or turn off via a switch) their chargers or other wall warts.
10:22 techrightssec2; Those are not a small drain on the grid when taken as a total population,
10:22 techrightssec2; Back too the draft, in addition to showing the rate of increase and not just\
10:22 techrightssec2; the current market share, it would help to provide a line or two summarizing
10:22 techrightssec2; the IRC conversation so that readers know what the link goes to .,
10:22 schestowitz-TR; working on it, cheers

16:07 techrightssec2; Those seem good
16:07 -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-Launch Configurable Keyboard - System76
16:11 techrightssec2; Good keyboards reduce stress while increasing accuracy.
16:13 schestowitz-TR; just to drop some details:
16:13 schestowitz-TR; my keyboard cost about 20 pounds (IIRC)
16:13 schestowitz-TR; it has rainbox-like backlit, not so brightly lid
16:13 schestowitz-TR; it's not programmable, it's just fixed shades
16:13 schestowitz-TR; in gnu/linux i turn that on with a command
16:13 schestowitz-TR; in windows I think there's some special key for it
16:13 schestowitz-TR; it is mechanical and cheaply made
16:13 schestowitz-TR; but still works
16:13 schestowitz-TR; no brand on it
16:13 schestowitz-TR; bought in chinese store in the market
16:13 schestowitz-TR; 'gaming' keyboard
16:27 schestowitz-TR; Lots of recipes posted in Gemini so far this year, e.g. gemini://nnix.com/food/desserts_snacks/chocolate_shortbread.gmi not newsworthy but fantastic to see Gemini growing beyond its TECHNICAL roots. There's something there for everyone, also many languages.
