02:47 schestowitz-pi2; i can now say that I've 'mastered' the new workflow
02:47 schestowitz-pi2; yesterday i had many other tasks
02:47 schestowitz-pi2; associated with organising things in the house, going a few places
02:47 schestowitz-pi2; i hope i'll be able to find the tech news faster now
02:47 schestowitz-pi2; and then do artcles/videos
02:47 schestowitz-pi2; i still don't fully understand how 09.py retains or discards stories from past generation cycles
02:47 schestowitz-pi2; but i'll learn over time
03:14 techrights[sec]; The -d option is optional but it sets the cutoff date. In a correctly formatted
03:14 techrights[sec]; feed, each item has the date of publication or update for that item. The
03:14 techrights[sec]; cutoff date defaults to 00:00 as two days ago, calculated when the script is run
03:14 techrights[sec]; If the items are older, they are skipped. The default cutoff date can be
03:14 techrights[sec]; overridden with the -d option. That's one cut. The other is that it stores
03:14 techrights[sec]; the date and time of the most recent attempt and the most recent successful
03:14 techrights[sec]; retrieval. The HTTP requests include an If-Modified-Since header so if the
03:14 techrights[sec]; feed itself has not changed since last successful retrieval, then it is skipped.
03:14 techrights[sec]; That can be overrrun by using the --force option, or at least it should.
03:14 techrights[sec]; The primary principle at work here is the time-management rule of processing
03:14 techrights[sec]; each item once and only once. The browser tracks whether you've seen the
03:14 techrights[sec]; web page linked to by the feed's item. The script tracks whether you've
03:14 techrights[sec]; loaded that particular edition of the feed. Reloading the script without
03:14 techrights[sec]; having done the manual work of checking the items will ensure that they are
03:14 techrights[sec]; hidden from view and skipped. You can reset the state by reloading the
03:14 techrights[sec]; whole OPML file, but that will be slow as it will try to bring in /all/ the
03:14 techrights[sec]; feeds.
03:14 techrights[sec]; one approach: don't re-run the script until the current page's feed items
03:14 techrights[sec]; have been reviewed
03:16 schestowitz-pi2; this is precisely what i am doing right now, based on these assumptions
03:16 schestowitz-pi2; i am failing to get some feeds, esp. google/youtube/blogspot ones
03:16 schestowitz-pi2; so in falkon i scoop up things I'd otherwise overlook
03:16 schestowitz-pi2; but btw, the abundance of sources and items now may mean i'll feel a lot
03:16 schestowitz-pi2; less guilty about 'missing' something
03:16 schestowitz-pi2; and rianne has a very similar opml file anyway, so she catches the important stuff
03:16 schestowitz-pi2; very fast

03:51 schestowitz-pi2; irrespective of their reasons, motivations, explanations
03:51 schestowitz-pi2; this is a goodthing(R)
03:51 schestowitz-pi2; and I hope that, over time, they'll recognise those harmful programsd
03:51 schestowitz-pi2; aren't just the ones from china
03:51 schestowitz-pi2; and not only politicians are at risk
03:52 schestowitz-pi2; not every "binary" (code) is useful by virtue of merely existing
03:52 schestowitz-pi2; and usage does not imply usefulness
03:52 schestowitz-pi2; no more than vodka use implies happiness and satisfaction
03:52 schestowitz-pi2; so i feel optimism in this area

04:16 techrights[sec]; Yes, however, it is almost like the conversations are all actively steered away
04:16 techrights[sec]; from examining the manipulation and disinformation that social control media
04:16 techrights[sec]; -- all social control media -- has as its base service. Social control media
04:16 techrights[sec]; is not service for those that obsessively click and "emit behaviors" on it. It
04:16 techrights[sec]; is a service for the large companies and the nations which pay to modified
04:16 techrights[sec]; public opinion in one direction or another, The West has not been aware of
04:16 techrights[sec]; that or else simply not acted on it while hostile entities have.

04:22 schestowitz-pi2; again, missing the point that the privacy aspects are not the principal issue
04:22 schestowitz-pi2; Saudi twitter is meanwhile siccing crazy people on women
04:22 schestowitz-pi2; and that's considered OK
04:23 techrights[sec]; Yes, I recall reports of Zuckerberg's email on the topic. Yet there was puff
04:23 techrights[sec]; piece after puff piece extolling the (perceived) benefits of social control
04:23 techrights[sec]; media and of Facebook in particular.
04:23 techrights[sec]; Every time Facebook seemed to be on the ropes, droves of articles turned up
04:23 techrights[sec]; playing on the Fear Of Missing Out, especially in tabloids.
04:23 techrights[sec]; They are only a symptom. The Biden administration is being mislead by
04:23 techrights[sec]; microsofters embedded on the staff so they are not going to be able to from
04:23 techrights[sec]; a cogent policy anyway.
04:24 schestowitz-pi2; like chris krebs
04:24 schestowitz-pi2; under trump
04:24 schestowitz-pi2; they are lots of 'ex' MSFT
04:24 schestowitz-pi2; and 'ex' IBM
04:24 schestowitz-pi2; the latter worry me a lot more
04:24 schestowitz-pi2; many left ICBM decades ago
04:25 techrights[sec]; IBM is bad but there are no redeeming characteristics of "former" microsofters
04:25 techrights[sec]; Yet they are allowed to continue to pose as IT workers because the industry
04:25 techrights[sec]; fails to police itself.
04:27 schestowitz-pi2; Mr. Kink was a Windows users
04:27 schestowitz-pi2; brought three women he had slept with to the company
04:27 schestowitz-pi2; at best, they could figure out how to put a VM on Windows
04:27 schestowitz-pi2; with his help
04:27 schestowitz-pi2; VirtualBox
04:27 schestowitz-pi2; so imagine a company of geeks turning into this trash
04:27 schestowitz-pi2; and paying $800 a month in AWS bills
04:27 schestowitz-pi2; for almost nothing
04:27 schestowitz-pi2; we already had a whole rack or two of servers
04:27 schestowitz-pi2; in the office
04:28 techrights[sec]; VMs on Windows never work out. All the time there is wasted on Windows-related
04:28 techrights[sec]; problems and never with the actual contents of the VM.
04:28 techrights[sec]; Again, microsofters posing fraudulently as IT workers. >:(
04:29 schestowitz-pi2; but, to be fair, he did work very hard
04:29 schestowitz-pi2; and even prior to this the company was having issues
04:29 schestowitz-pi2; but the key point is, you cannot run a FOSS specialists with 'hires' like these
04:29 schestowitz-pi2; we need people who can complete jobs, not blow jobs
04:29 schestowitz-pi2; and also show up on time
04:29 schestowitz-pi2; or apologise when they are late
04:31 schestowitz-pi2; i realise now I link to gizmodo yoo much giving its quality
04:31 schestowitz-pi2; it's no better than "sister" engagdet
04:31 schestowitz-pi2; inc. obvious, blatant clickbait and microsoft spam
04:31 schestowitz-pi2; spam as in, obv. PR plant
04:31 schestowitz-pi2; maybe I'll cull that out next
04:31 schestowitz-pi2; in the next round of culling

07:00 schestowitz-pi2; for almost 10 mins
07:00 schestowitz-pi2; so did other users in europe
07:00 schestowitz-pi2; so i suspect it's something to do with the war
07:00 schestowitz-pi2; but cannot prove it

07:03 schestowitz-pi2; your vpn is in ireland
07:03 schestowitz-pi2; the people who lose persistent connection are in europe
07:03 schestowitz-pi2; and there was a report about ddos
07:07 mjg59_; So (1) no I don't have a VPN in Ireland and (2) from the US I still had access to my European machines, so it wasn't that European ISPs were losing access to the US in general
07:07 mjg59_; It's massively more likely that your server hosting or one of their upstreams lost connectivity for a period

07:32 techrights[sec]; There's an awful lot of overlap between the sites being covered in search of
07:32 techrights[sec]; links. It might make more sense to divide up the pool of sites as it does
07:32 techrights[sec]; not make sense to check the same ones two or even three times.
07:36 schestowitz-pi2; got a lot of epo material to bring "public" today
07:36 schestowitz-pi2; the pension thing on hold for now...
07:36 schestowitz-pi2; impending probe by colleague as well
07:52 schestowitz-pi2; biab, workout
07:52 schestowitz-pi2; maybe some fibre/isp is targeted
07:52 schestowitz-pi2; doesn'r matter the cause as much as the effect
07:52 schestowitz-pi2; connections from Europe to Calif can drop
07:52 schestowitz-pi2; for 2 minutes, one hour...
07:52 schestowitz-pi2; affects hungary,m germany, NL...
07:52 schestowitz-pi2; *nl
07:52 schestowitz-pi2; daemonfc dropped too
07:52 schestowitz-pi2; i asked if he used europe vpn
07:52 schestowitz-pi2; he said yes
07:52 schestowitz-pi2; has been having connection issues lately
07:52 schestowitz-pi2; but if you see an actual report/article, it would be more authorative
07:52 schestowitz-pi2; than guesswork
07:52 techrights[sec]; It may be only the UK - US connection, IIRC there are other connections
07:54 DaemonFC; I use a Netherlands VPN.
07:55 DaemonFC; I block the cookie notices in my browsers anyway and by law they can't do the tracking unless you click yes.
07:55 DaemonFC; Since the ad blocker gets rid of the notice where I can't see it to click on anything....
08:22 techrights[sec]; When the connecton there goes out, maybe he could try traceroute over the VPN
08:22 techrights[sec]; and try exit nodes in different countries.
08:59 techrights[sec]; If all traffic goes through the VPN. traceroute can be used.
08:59 techrights[sec]; Otherwise, if only the end point of the VPN can be changed, it can be moved
08:59 techrights[sec]; around until reconnection is possible assuming the VPN itself does not go
08:59 techrights[sec]; unavailable during the same interval.

12:24 schestowitz-pi2; *EPO
12:24 techrights[sec]; MEPs are probably part of the problem and not just through passivity
12:24 techrights[sec]; Media avoids anything even remotely related to technology policy, in any shape
12:24 techrights[sec]; or form. That's in part thanks to the Bill and Lolita slush fund which
12:24 techrights[sec]; is used liberally to prevent such coverage lest people bring up the topic

12:56 techrights[sec]; Once a day is probably sufficient. The feeds are generally not updated so
12:56 techrights[sec]; frequently as to warrant more often. Though the Indian news papers always
12:56 techrights[sec]; have new material throughout the day nearly all of it is not relevant in any
12:56 techrights[sec]; way to ICT.
12:56 techrights[sec]; ]
12:56 techrights[sec]; or ICT policy.
13:50 techrights[sec]; Going to test redirection of the gallery from tm-old
13:50 techrights[sec]; Using 301 Moved Permanently, since such an old version of Apache does not
13:50 techrights[sec]; support 308 Permanent Redirect
13:50 techrights[sec]; Do you recall the status of the old nodes? I think those are complete and
13:50 techrights[sec]; can also be redirected. But there is not an index.html for the whole collection
13:50 techrights[sec]; overview.
13:50 techrights[sec]; Spot check shows that /node is not complete yet
14:01 schestowitz-pi2; complete mirror is hard because of permalinks with url that is not "node/something"
14:01 schestowitz-pi2; and the sheer scale of that site
14:01 schestowitz-pi2; there is also the JS in the "tabs" in the page
14:01 schestowitz-pi2; which I'm not sure how to tackle
14:01 schestowitz-pi2; then printer/pdf
14:01 schestowitz-pi2; gallery was simpler and smaller
14:01 schestowitz-pi2; modern web is just very hard to manage unlike gemini
14:01 schestowitz-pi2; and there's no easy solution
14:01 schestowitz-pi2; in groklaw they zapped like 100k comments
14:06 techrights[sec]; Yes though more of the nodes could be archived.
14:06 techrights[sec]; Any thoughts on further approaches?
14:06 techrights[sec]; JS is not on the list to save.
14:06 techrights[sec]; Yes.
14:06 techrights[sec]; The "modern" web is halfway to those horrible web "apps" that have replaced
14:06 techrights[sec]; web pages.
14:06 techrights[sec]; Groklaw could have mirrored with a different option and gotten all the
14:06 techrights[sec]; comments but appeared to have elected to delete most of them.
14:06 techrights[sec]; wget on tm-old is too old to use any selection criteria and would just
14:07 techrights[sec]; get lost in loops, unlike more recent versions. But running the more recent
14:07 techrights[sec]; version from a remote machine will eat bandwidth. :/
14:07 techrights[sec]; .
14:08 schestowitz-pi2; i can think of another approach
14:08 schestowitz-pi2; i'll have a go at it this weekend
14:08 schestowitz-pi2; ut there would be loads of web pages lying around
