02:55 schestowitz[TR2]; Tue 08:23:01 matey can that happen on a network (single server?) this small?

02:55 schestowitz[TR2]; Tue 09:12:03 matey /me wonders if those 90s outfits from dance music will ever be back

02:55 schestowitz[TR2]; Tue 09:13:13 matey silk shirts and trousers-- suspenders feature often

02:56 schestowitz[TR2]; Tue 14:12:05 ulf weird, yesterday i attached the DVB-C cable receiver, and since this afternoon it is disconnected
02:56 schestowitz[TR2]; Tue 14:13:05 ulf somewhat ironic, just this morning i began deleting more than 80 of the 100 tv stations from the list already, except for some documentary and news broadcasters
02:56 schestowitz[TR2]; Tue 14:13:36 ulf leaving me with what's broadcasted OTA with DVB-T2 anyway
02:56 schestowitz[TR2]; Tue 14:13:59 ulf i am wondering, how they could have noticed some cable-tv receiver was attached (no-internet that is)
02:56 schestowitz[TR2]; Tue 14:14:27 ulf and, i am paying "cable fee" to the landlord, besides regular internet fee to the internet provider
02:56 schestowitz[TR2]; Tue 14:15:42 ulf what's surprising me, is they had noticed somehow a DVB-C receiver was attached, although those officially got no transmission channel back to the provider
02:56 schestowitz[TR2]; Tue 14:19:18 ulf the difference seems to be, with DVB-C some "private" tv broadcasters (mostly useless USA rubbish and series) do not require a separate decryption-card
02:56 schestowitz[TR2]; Tue 14:19:52 ulf no idea whatever this is, or how it is implemented, with DVB-T2 those "private" broadcasters require decryption
02:56 schestowitz[TR2]; Tue 14:20:32 ulf the "public" tv broadcasters do not require decryption, instead government forces all citizens to pay for the rubbish and propaganda, and it's broadcasted for free then
02:56 schestowitz[TR2]; Tue 14:23:14 ulf i would be curious though, i they have noticed a DVB-C receiver was attached, i didn't connect this to the internet
02:56 schestowitz[TR2]; Tue 14:23:21 ulf *how
02:56 schestowitz[TR2]; Tue 14:24:02 ulf i did pay for this receiver with cash btw.; not with the mastercard since i am not keen on this thing being associated with my private data in any way
02:56 schestowitz[TR2]; Tue 14:25:11 ulf within 24hours digital cable-tv disconnect
02:56 schestowitz[TR2]; Tue 14:25:26 ulf would be curious though, why i have to pay additional "cable fee" to the landlord

07:50 Techrights-sec; np I hope today goes more smoothly
07:50 Techrights-sec; yes, old Linux Today readers stop reading because of the spam and the selling
07:50 Techrights-sec; out and no new readers turn up because it's not got that M$ "look and feel"
08:00 schestowitz-TR; gm
08:00 schestowitz-TR; catching up, brb
08:00 schestowitz-TR; mea culpse
08:00 schestowitz-TR; I cought this mistake
08:00 schestowitz-TR; last time I tried to "correct" it it ended up with my PC attempting to upload 100MB files every 5 minutes, adding up a lot of rsync processes choking up
08:00 schestowitz-TR; my connections
08:00 schestowitz-TR; in this case, the mistkae was not constly
08:00 schestowitz-TR; but it was noticed
08:00 schestowitz-TR; had a long chat with rianne last night
08:00 schestowitz-TR; turns out person C spoke to persons B and -- worse -- A
08:00 schestowitz-TR; causing prblems I predicted
08:00 schestowitz-TR; but person C was asked not to talk about it
08:00 schestowitz-TR; thought it was likely ineditable
08:00 schestowitz-TR; person R (hi) should learn to talk to people a lot less
08:01 schestowitz-TR; person A was told by A
08:01 schestowitz-TR; *by B
08:01 schestowitz-TR; and a little conspiracy developed

08:01 schestowitz-TR; today's plan is to catch up and organise to write about topics I saw and lacked time to cover

08:27 Techrights-sec; ack
08:27 schestowitz-TR; btw, how many lines can you scroll back? I've long wondered that
08:27 schestowitz-TR; just checked git log for changes you're making (many this morning)
08:27 schestowitz-TR; I now have three terminals in which to observe changes
08:29 schestowitz-TR; when I said "scroll back" I actually meant, how many lines visible in ytalk? because I don't want to spill out of view
08:29 schestowitz-TR; here, it is about 30 lines for you, 30 for me
08:29 schestowitz-TR; as in the past the smaller terminals were not always sufficient
08:29 Techrights-sec; checking
08:29 Techrights-sec; 23
08:31 schestowitz-TR; that's good
08:31 schestowitz-TR; in the past I'd refrain from talking overnight even when important things happen for fear of overrunning the buffer
08:31 schestowitz-TR; and sometimes I'd latrer paste "earlier" stuff again, just in case...
08:31 schestowitz-TR; I've just cl;eaned my feeds again
08:31 schestowitz-TR; india market share for gnu/linux now 7%
08:31 schestowitz-TR; (estimate)
08:31 schestowitz-TR; "tech" media will never mention this, too busy sucking the balls of "Sayta"
08:31 schestowitz-TR; *Satya
08:33 schestowitz-TR; (to self: trolls will say it's racist and sexist, though women too suck balls and indians are now officially the planet's "majority")
08:33 schestowitz-TR; (and it is a metaphor a lot older than me)
08:33 Techrights-sec; the M$ worship has been gradually increasing over the years. It's to the
08:33 Techrights-sec; point where mainstream news articles from 20 years ago would be dismissed
08:33 Techrights-sec; as "bashing" if there were republished today.
08:33 Techrights-sec; ack
08:36 schestowitz-TR; yes, I just posted a rant about IBM in the main channel
08:36 schestowitz-TR; they too are manipulative with the media
08:36 schestowitz-TR; I'm not old enough to know how IBM was when it was "market leader"
08:36 Techrights-sec; ack
08:36 schestowitz-TR; but I can imagine Microsoft inherited -- maybe even repurpsoed the same agencies/people -- those tactics
08:36 schestowitz-TR; reward/publishment... even bribes
08:36 schestowitz-TR; atm scrollback in gemini won't work yet, not until I copy across all of ~gemini dir from july 31 backup
08:36 schestowitz-TR; tech issues are connected to media issues and, tracing it back to causes, it's about financial disparity
08:36 schestowitz-TR; journalism was not meant to be "for sale", but that's where we are
08:40 schestowitz-TR; thanks for fixing the "bug" of me pasting in the wrong text as a slug
08:40 schestowitz-TR; resulting in a very long filename
08:40 schestowitz-TR; and colours would help too
08:40 schestowitz-TR; sometimes it's hard to say what's an error and what's just the program being verbose
08:42 Techrights-sec; most of journalism having been bought and sold is a direct offshoot of
08:42 Techrights-sec; media consolidation rules set in place by the Reagan administration and
08:42 Techrights-sec; worsened further over the subsequent decades
08:42 Techrights-sec; np
08:42 Techrights-sec; thanks for finding the bug, normally I check bounds for variables but there
08:42 Techrights-sec; are just so many variables ...
08:42 Techrights-sec; The warnings and errors are more clearly marked now too. Though
08:42 Techrights-sec; there is still a little unnecessary output from db actions.
08:45 schestowitz-TR; I am still thinking long and hard of how to manage data on the raspi, like taking particular account out to external storage
08:45 schestowitz-TR; ipfs does many disk operations all the time unless I stopped it (it was stopped for 2 months before the initial outage and the second;
08:45 schestowitz-TR; the good thing is that the second resulted in propr action and proper resolution... albeit wa s alot longer)

09:00 schestowitz-TR; 2) of mainstream NEWS
09:00 schestowitz-TR; that can lead to CONFUSION ;-)

09:00 schestowitz-TR; when I'm done transfering ~gemini (been going on since around midnight) maybe I'll make a separate device for /home/[ipfs person]
09:00 schestowitz-TR; and then adjust some things
09:00 schestowitz-TR; atm I think I'd just leave ipfs off except when adding new objects
09:06 Techrights-sec; true
09:06 Techrights-sec; the entity names remain from 40 - 60 years ago but the goals and activities
09:06 Techrights-sec; have changed 180 degrees
09:09 schestowitz-TR; ah, ok, i just noticed that adding a node re ibm fluff resulted in just the db update

09:09 schestowitz-TR; *supplied
09:09 schestowitz-TR; re media, I realise now Mrius loathes the corrupt media a lot more than me
09:09 schestowitz-TR; (he hates Microsofters too but rarely mentiond them)
09:09 schestowitz-TR; maybe partly shaped by his experiences of what hapened in softpedia after many years there
09:10 schestowitz-TR; he brought them the most traffic, he said, but microsofters put an end to it
09:10 schestowitz-TR; in the process they aldo doomed softpedia
09:10 schestowitz-TR; you won't see that site anymore
09:10 schestowitz-TR; at one point that site hosted my software
09:10 schestowitz-TR; but at one point they made "cuts" and removed it
09:10 schestowitz-TR; softpedia was originalyl a site to download SOFTware binaries from
09:10 schestowitz-TR; I contacted marius back then
09:10 schestowitz-TR; he said they only keps very popular software
09:10 schestowitz-TR; now even the "news" section is dead
09:10 schestowitz-TR; it was doing great before the "softers" got involevd
09:10 schestowitz-TR; and first weaponised that "Linux" sectionAGAINST Linux
09:10 schestowitz-TR; then gave up
09:10 schestowitz-TR; realised it was not the right audience
09:16 schestowitz-TR; I used to do a lot of c coding, but it takes a long time to work with a compiler and build GUIs, nowadays given the limited appeal
09:16 schestowitz-TR; or number of users i just hack things in bash if possible
09:16 schestowitz-TR; in academia this is very common, they dub it "prototyping" and often use - CHOKE CHOKE -- matlab
09:16 schestowitz-TR; mathworks wanted to hire me when I was a student, offered 120k a year way back then (maybe 200k by today's money) but
09:16 schestowitz-TR; I was already keen on staying a student and/or doing activism
09:17 schestowitz-TR; (iirc, matlab itself is written in c)
09:17 schestowitz-TR; the gui parts used to reuse java, maybe not anymore
09:17 schestowitz-TR; matlab is bloated kludge
09:17 schestowitz-TR; octave had a new rel;ease this past week, I put that in tuxzmachines-old
09:17 schestowitz-TR; i think my most popular yolutube vid is one of the octave tutorials
09:17 schestowitz-TR; C takes a LOT of work
09:17 schestowitz-TR; for many reasons
09:17 schestowitz-TR; bash starts with you running some command, then improving and improving, then echo x > somefile.sh & chmod 700 *.sh
09:17 schestowitz-TR; with matlab it's a bit like bash except you need a NETWORK licence and gigabyes ofkludge and endless RAM
09:17 schestowitz-TR; and then it might still crash ^_^
09:19 Techrights-sec; yes, matlab is too common
09:19 Techrights-sec; Octave is ok but considered a little behing matlab
09:20 schestowitz-TR; I was #1 in the world for my matlab contrib (free software modules) at one point
09:20 schestowitz-TR; and then wanted me to write a book
09:20 schestowitz-TR; or course those f**ers later relicensed all my code as BSD
09:20 schestowitz-TR; and if I said no, they're just remove all my work
09:20 schestowitz-TR; a form of blackmail
09:20 schestowitz-TR; by corporate hawks
09:20 schestowitz-TR; I moved to octave
09:20 schestowitz-TR; later I quit universities
09:20 schestowitz-TR; low pay, too much work
09:20 schestowitz-TR; some profs wear multiple hats, like part time GAFAM, part time teachin
09:20 schestowitz-TR; obv. conflict of interest, but that's 21st century
09:21 Techrights-sec; C takes a lot of work, some skill and time, and a lot of experience to know
09:21 Techrights-sec; which libraries are which
09:21 Techrights-sec; ack
09:21 schestowitz-TR; uni sys admins are not sys admins anymore
09:21 schestowitz-TR; they are people who cannot be hired anywhere else
09:21 schestowitz-TR; clueless shits
09:21 schestowitz-TR; and they lost me some data and code
09:21 schestowitz-TR; without even notifiying me
09:21 schestowitz-TR; wiped the whole machine after it got cracked
09:21 schestowitz-TR; said "sorry"

09:21 Techrights-sec; ack
09:25 schestowitz-TR; maybe if they paid better, they'd have more than a cult of rejects and weirdoes
09:25 schestowitz-TR; later they can use that incompetence as a pretext for further defunding these
09:25 schestowitz-TR; institutions
09:25 schestowitz-TR; saying they produce little of actual value (which is partly true BTW)
09:25 schestowitz-TR; I peer reviewed some papers from poser and frauds
09:25 schestowitz-TR; likely fake data and false claims
09:25 schestowitz-TR; but good luck proving it
09:25 schestowitz-TR; the review goes by word of mouth
09:25 schestowitz-TR; nobody reproduces anything as data and code remain proprietary
09:25 schestowitz-TR; and besides, who even has the time and skill?
09:25 schestowitz-TR; so later, IF AT ALL (maybe a decade later), they remove "discredited" papers
09:25 schestowitz-TR; after the frauds got their tenures and cash
09:25 schestowitz-TR; cash to carry on with their frauds
09:25 schestowitz-TR; reminds me of Holmes from Theranos
09:27 schestowitz-TR; the worst aspect is that your own implementations needs to compete with frauds and fakes
09:27 schestowitz-TR; so unless you too cheat and fake, your work won't seem as impressive
09:27 schestowitz-TR; so you need to compromise integrity to "progress"
09:27 schestowitz-TR; and also submit the same paper to 10 different cionferences weith different titles and picture
09:27 schestowitz-TR; to seem like you're a prolific publisher, not a one-trick pony who harpa about the exact same
09:27 schestowitz-TR; thing for 10 years unless the audience gets bored
09:27 schestowitz-TR; and then you publish the same thing under the name of slave, slave, slave and you
09:27 schestowitz-TR; slave = phs student
09:27 schestowitz-TR; *phd
09:32 Techrights-sec; they are microsoft resellers of the lowest order
09:32 Techrights-sec; what's sad is that in decades past, universities were research institutions
09:32 Techrights-sec; and leaders; LDAP, Kerberos, and AFS are some shining examples; LDAP and
09:32 Techrights-sec; Kerberos are still in use; (Open)AFS has not been succeeded rather the opposite
09:32 Techrights-sec; and file sharing is about at the level ofthe 1980s these days albeit via
09:32 Techrights-sec; a web "interface"
09:32 Techrights-sec; acck
09:32 Techrights-sec; yes there is also a perverse cycle regarding the ass-kissing that goes on
09:32 Techrights-sec; to get tenure; it involves the publishers and prevents bootstrapping openaccess
09:32 Techrights-sec; publishing; those with tenure don't have much time and can't stray from the
09:32 Techrights-sec; "high impact" propietary journals and, worse, are supervising gradual students
09:32 Techrights-sec; who are following the same footsteps into the same trap; a few universities
09:32 Techrights-sec; are eliminating "impact factor" from the hiring process
09:32 Techrights-sec; as an experiment
09:32 schestowitz-TR; "high-impact" journal = gateway cartel
09:32 schestowitz-TR; appease the cartel, get grants
09:32 schestowitz-TR; the grants are given on that basis
09:32 schestowitz-TR; in surrey uni they told us, "publish or perish"
09:32 schestowitz-TR; they didn't mean publish software
09:32 schestowitz-TR; this was the cs school in surrey
09:32 schestowitz-TR; writing words about codecs
09:32 schestowitz-TR; instead of codecs
09:32 schestowitz-TR; proprietary with sofware patents
09:32 schestowitz-TR; they were part of the MP* cartel
09:32 schestowitz-TR; (part of = had patents)
09:39 Techrights-sec; yes, cartel is the right word
09:39 Techrights-sec; and they are one of the several hostile groups now controling the universities
09:39 Techrights-sec; from outside and, soon, within
09:39 schestowitz-TR; in usenet I knew someone who could explain the cartel very well
09:39 schestowitz-TR; like the flow of money
09:39 schestowitz-TR; and the lkibraries' role
09:39 schestowitz-TR; it's like a sort of symparmid scheme
09:39 schestowitz-TR; but I cannot explain it well, or barely
09:39 schestowitz-TR; sprinter verlag etc.
09:39 schestowitz-TR; *springer
09:39 schestowitz-TR; they also use us as slaves, reviewing, editing, writing their "papers"
09:39 schestowitz-TR; 'their'
09:39 schestowitz-TR; while lecturers are paid like a junior programmer
09:39 schestowitz-TR; and work outside 9-5 too
09:39 schestowitz-TR; but worse of all are the unpaid slaves
09:39 schestowitz-TR; the students
09:39 schestowitz-TR; some pay tuition fees and usually they pay for their naccomodation too
09:39 schestowitz-TR; not even 18th centurey US slavery was that oppressive
09:41 Techrights-sec; the libraries have been all but eliminated. Yes the physical structures are
09:41 Techrights-sec; still standing but the goals, service, and philosophy they once had ad
09:41 Techrights-sec; as stewards of scholarly communication are all but gone.
09:41 Techrights-sec; btw changes to the tm-add-entry-sql.pl script, but the /var/www/tuxmachines.org
09:41 Techrights-sec; clone still does not get updated automatically even if the same scrip
09:41 Techrights-sec; succeeds in firing off an MQTT notification
09:42 Techrights-sec; if you mean students, most pay for the tuition and their accommodation,
09:42 Techrights-sec; support (aside from parents) is very rare; another gift of the Reagan era
09:42 Techrights-sec; The student loans have become an entire industry in and of themselves
09:42 Techrights-sec; It's related to wage slavery which has the advantage over the 19th century
09:42 Techrights-sec; and earlier slavery in that slaves are no longer owned but rented or leased
09:42 Techrights-sec; and thus even more disposable
09:47 schestowitz-TR; thanks for working on the cms
09:47 schestowitz-TR; rianne just passed by, I told her that while switching from old to new needs to be done very very carefully
09:47 schestowitz-TR; as soon as gemini works it can be advertised as there is no "old" gemini
09:47 schestowitz-TR; and thus it's a new service
09:47 schestowitz-TR; planet gemini is offline unless all the files are copied, hopefully by this evening
09:47 schestowitz-TR; then I have some work to do on the cron jabs and adjusting things to how they used to be
09:47 schestowitz-TR; ipfs will be on hold until I figure out how where to put this 6-7 GB of junk
09:47 schestowitz-TR; for just 1 GB of ACTUAL data or 700mb, 1:10 ratio data:blockchain shiut
09:47 schestowitz-TR; at least we can joke that techrights truly embraced "web 3.0"
09:47 schestowitz-TR; I got some emails from these posers
09:47 schestowitz-TR; because we mention ipfs
09:47 schestowitz-TR; they don't even know the difference between net and web
09:47 schestowitz-TR; it's more like net 3.0 and not http/3
09:47 schestowitz-TR; web 2.0 = javascript everywhere, not just css
09:48 schestowitz-TR; aka "ajax"
09:48 schestowitz-TR; we stopped having ajax and servers, not it's "platforms" on "clowns"
09:50 Techrights-sec; ok the gemini part is on the way, after some other loose ends are tied up
09:50 Techrights-sec; by the way, the RPi OS cannot boot to RAID1 or any other RAID, so backing up
09:50 Techrights-sec; or cloning the USB stick on a frequent basis is the way to go. For that,
09:50 Techrights-sec; it'd be cleanest to then have the system components on one partition and have
09:50 Techrights-sec; the data separate
09:50 Techrights-sec; A UPS would be the way to go, if one wishes to be more formal about a solution
09:50 Techrights-sec; ack
09:50 Techrights-sec; though I know nothing of IPFS except that it seems to appear like it does not
09:50 Techrights-sec; scale well
09:51 Techrights-sec; CSS is great, at least up to 2.0, but javascript has always been a pox
09:51 schestowitz-TR; css became bad because it does too much and thus few can keep up
09:51 schestowitz-TR; now css includes image manipulation
09:51 schestowitz-TR; I could not believe when I saw an article in linuxhint showing me that now even image processing
09:51 schestowitz-TR; is done by css
09:51 schestowitz-TR; no wonder browsers became so bloated, code and ram-wise
09:51 schestowitz-TR; it's like opening photoshop on top of a browser
09:51 schestowitz-TR; and the only reasons many sites do not adopt such css is "old code"
09:51 schestowitz-TR; or visitors with "old browser" (or "not chrome")
09:52 Techrights-sec; If done correctly CSS degrades gracefully, but that leaves off much of the
09:52 Techrights-sec; CSS 3.0 gimmicks which are poorly thought out and badly designed even if
09:52 Techrights-sec; those poor thoughs and bad designs are skillfully implemented
09:54 schestowitz-TR; a) works best with ->
09:54 schestowitz-TR; b) please download chrome ->
09:54 schestowitz-TR; 3) you're not using a supported browser, no nservice for you (e.g. banks)
09:54 schestowitz-TR; no matter if it degracges gracefully
09:54 schestowitz-TR; they don't want support calls
09:54 schestowitz-TR; "I cannot book a train ticket, yes, I use [some browser the support rep in a sweaty sweatshop does not have in her/his script"
09:54 Techrights-sec; yep

10:56 schestowitz-TR; thanks for the links
10:56 schestowitz-TR; 2 months ago I spoke tyo the energy suppler's person who had been assigned to me
10:56 schestowitz-TR; and marked our home as hign priority
10:56 schestowitz-TR; maybe that's why we got ourt power back faster then other people on the block
10:56 schestowitz-TR; this and other factors, like asking for a generator twice over the phones
10:56 schestowitz-TR; with that guy, I spoke about UPS
10:56 schestowitz-TR; I said, only if the outages become a frequent thing, I'll get one for the router and the pi
10:56 schestowitz-TR; which are nearby anyhow
10:56 schestowitz-TR; but outages are rare here, though ime when they start happening they can happen again and again until
10:56 schestowitz-TR; the energy supplier can be arsed to actually investigate and fix the issues
10:56 schestowitz-TR; rianne's aunt has very frequent outages
10:56 schestowitz-TR; not sure if it's in her home or upstream
10:56 schestowitz-TR; so rianne's connection was up and down
10:56 schestowitz-TR; maybe due to flooding, she said
10:56 schestowitz-TR; but she's at work most of the time
10:56 schestowitz-TR; so cannot be bothered to pursue a solution
10:56 schestowitz-TR; meanwhile appliances can break over time, so the cost of ignoring the issue can increas
10:56 schestowitz-TR; the latest two pi issues happened after outages
10:56 schestowitz-TR; but I doubt somewhat those were relatted to it
10:56 schestowitz-TR; I spoke about price of UPS and condityions upon which to acquire one
10:56 schestowitz-TR; we were advised the same in 2005 when my hall of residence started having outages (maybe 5-7 in total before they resolved the issue)
10:56 schestowitz-TR; they suggested getting a ups for computers, students were not happy
10:56 schestowitz-TR; since then I experienced no outages upstream... until this year
10:56 schestowitz-TR; so a ups would be past its lifetime by now
10:56 schestowitz-TR; i.e. waste of money
10:56 schestowitz-TR; idea: make a pi that can extract enough power from several usb ports or similar
10:56 schestowitz-TR; to borrow some life -- enough to safely reboot from a laptop that already has high impedance resistance
10:56 schestowitz-TR; (the good ones anyway, old ones before they make cheap disposable "laptops")
11:09 *u-amarsh04 has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s)
11:16 Techrights-sec; They have PoE (power over Ethernet) but that requires a special adapter.
11:16 Techrights-sec; I think the Zero series can be powered by USB
11:18 schestowitz-TR; how about an exercise cbicycle that hooks up to it when you know outage is imminent ;-)
11:18 schestowitz-TR; gives you enough time to finish work and maybe shutdown cleanly ;-)

12:12 Techrights-sec; the trick is to have some hardware upstream which alerts the device to the
12:12 Techrights-sec; outage while releasing enough stored current to keep it running while it
12:12 Techrights-sec; shuts down. ie. a UPS of some sort. The stream of electricity itself
12:12 Techrights-sec; is either on or off (or too low) so it itself does not contain any information
12:12 Techrights-sec; necessary to trigger a graceful shutdown, there's no avoiding batteries of
12:12 Techrights-sec; some kind
12:15 schestowitz-TR; if the ups kicks in but you're afk/asleep/away from home, the devices you protect might die abruptly anyay
12:15 schestowitz-TR; and if it's not a "smart" thing, you might not even know
12:15 schestowitz-TR; the first time the pi OS died it was not reboot/outage rleated
12:15 schestowitz-TR; just wear
12:15 schestowitz-TR; and I got cluess before powering it down and making a backup beforehand
12:15 schestowitz-TR; we took that opportunity to upgrade the OS
12:15 schestowitz-TR; this time a chance to move to USB and peripheral storage
12:30 Techrights-sec; ack
12:30 Techrights-sec; as far as I can tell LUKS and Rsync can't really work on the same files,
12:30 Techrights-sec; especially when the files are large
12:31 schestowitz-TR; ~gemini still processing
12:31 schestowitz-TR; this is like 50 times slower than it was before
12:31 schestowitz-TR; but you say gemini and gemprox work fast at your end
12:31 schestowitz-TR; and I don't think the other services would be imperiled by it
12:32 Techrights-sec; the UPS usually have a lead which goes either to GPIO or Serial and then
12:32 Techrights-sec; interface with a daemon regarding status and the daemon decides when to
12:32 Techrights-sec; power down
12:32 schestowitz-TR; if it's not systemd, it might even power down properly at the end without user intervention after 20 minds
12:32 schestowitz-TR; *mins
12:34 Techrights-sec; systemd can be deadly slow like that, other times it can fail to allow booting
12:34 Techrights-sec; to complete
12:35 schestowitz-TR; last year kaniini had to bypass thing just to bootstrap techrights
12:36 schestowitz-TR; open microsoft account and report bug to microsoft systemd
12:36 schestowitz-TR; they might fix it in the next version, Pro Deluxe Edition
12:36 schestowitz-TR; the one that does not send your private keys to the clown
12:36 Techrights-sec; yep not a surprise
12:39 schestowitz-TR; booting should be simple, runlevels 0-6 and just run the darn things, evewn in parallel for some things
12:39 schestowitz-TR; developing this from scratch seem unecesaary, to put it likely...
12:39 schestowitz-TR; and then running the file system's home dir as a "Service"
12:39 schestowitz-TR; which means an additional level of failure
12:39 schestowitz-TR; riright now, with lennart working tot Bill and Lolita, there is AN INCENTIVE
12:39 schestowitz-TR; to NOT make it reliable
12:39 schestowitz-TR; or onl;y make it reliable on "Azure"-brasnded clowns
12:39 schestowitz-TR; "IP aAdvantage" -> "Linux Advantage"
12:40 Techrights-sec; open-rc seems rather good, sysvinit was fine too within limits
12:40 Techrights-sec; it was never about solving a technical need but about a political need,
12:40 Techrights-sec; specifically about decommidifyingf Linux
12:40 Techrights-sec; That looks like one of the directions they might try to take
12:40 Techrights-sec; Canonical (Shuttleworth) is sucking up to them too, even though (or maybe
12:40 Techrights-sec; because) it means the end of Canonical
12:41 psydruid; I upgraded my mom's laptop to Kubuntu 22.04 a few days ago
12:42 schestowitz-TR; iirc, some time recently canonical said it was profitable at long last
12:42 schestowitz-TR; but if you look at the Ubuntu Blog you see what they are selling
12:42 schestowitz-TR; the same shit as SUSE (SAP and other crap)
12:42 schestowitz-TR; they are becoming resellers
12:42 schestowitz-TR; and making a distro to them is like a side project
12:42 schestowitz-TR; SUSE even called it "tumbleweed"
12:42 schestowitz-TR; which, we know what it means...
12:42 schestowitz-TR; iirc, greg k-h came up with the name
12:42 schestowitz-TR; o the idea in general
12:42 schestowitz-TR; psydruid: let me guess
12:42 psydruid; On the next storage upgrade I'll replace it with Debian
12:42 schestowitz-TR; the demo did not go as expected
12:42 schestowitz-TR; psydruid: in debian 10 kde is good
12:42 schestowitz-TR; not sure about 11
12:42 psydruid; Well, I had already set up everything and the upgrade went well
12:43 schestowitz-TR; as we use 11 mostly for monitoring and servers, with raspis
12:43 schestowitz-TR; two pis
12:43 schestowitz-TR; but Debian lost its kde packagers
12:43 schestowitz-TR; they bullied him
12:43 psydruid; I just didn't want to bother changing the operating system now
12:43 schestowitz-TR; over some "diversity" fiction
12:43 psydruid; Oh, I see

12:46 schestowitz-TR; I broke my promise
12:47 schestowitz-TR; said I'd bring it up every day
12:47 schestowitz-TR; but two major disasters here yesterday

14:29 schestowitz-TR; I've nearly cleaned the feeds, later I'llwipe the Linux feeds and then, I hope, start to finalise things with the pi
14:29 schestowitz-TR; downtime will be needed to reassemble bits
14:29 schestowitz-TR; riuanne uses sd card only as clone of her pi400 system
14:29 Techrights-sec; :)
14:29 Techrights-sec; ack
14:29 Techrights-sec; regular cloning of the system seems to be the recommended practice
14:32 schestowitz-TR; I cloned the whole partition esp. after major changes outside home
14:32 schestowitz-TR; before the first outage I'd do a full dump to external hdd (1 gb tar files)
14:32 schestowitz-TR; periodically
14:32 schestowitz-TR; after that rsync to laptop as the "old" system could no longer even mount the drive
14:32 schestowitz-TR; and I didn't reboot it for 2 months, assuming it would fix nothing and maybe make matters worse
14:32 schestowitz-TR; it takes about 5 mins to boot fully from USB
14:32 schestowitz-TR; with sd card inserted less than 30 secs
14:43 Techrights-sec; ack
14:45 schestowitz-TR; will go rest shortly
14:45 schestowitz-TR; I estimatre the gemini transfer should last till evening
14:45 schestowitz-TR; maybe ipfs account/user directory can be made a hardlink for some path like /media/something
14:45 schestowitz-TR; but even then, the issue would be causing wear on a backup drive
14:45 schestowitz-TR; maybe I shoulsd purchase another usb stick?
14:45 schestowitz-TR; rianne is about to go to town
14:46 Techrights-sec; ok, about to finish preliminary gemini support for tm-new
14:46 Techrights-sec; directories have to be symlinks
14:46 Techrights-sec; but it would work
14:46 Techrights-sec; or the directory itself could be used as the automatic mount point for
14:46 Techrights-sec; that particular removeable device
14:50 schestowitz-TR; thanks for adding gemini to TM
14:50 schestowitz-TR; it's the first of its kind (scope)
14:50 schestowitz-TR; is it conventional to attach two usb disks to a pi
14:50 schestowitz-TR; one for base OS
14:50 schestowitz-TR; and another userspace?
14:50 schestowitz-TR; one can be used to maintain a backup of the other, to some extent (improvised)
14:50 schestowitz-TR; so if one stick fails the other has a recent copy)
14:50 schestowitz-TR; it would boost recovery time from failures
14:50 schestowitz-TR; btw, the latest nodes I added to tm-new are not showing up because of the changes of interfaces to
14:50 schestowitz-TR; perl files, but that's not urgent because we still test and simulate
14:50 schestowitz-TR; the files uploaded via images can also be served, maybe as softlinks, over gemini
14:50 schestowitz-TR; for now I add images manually with wget in Featured

14:50 Techrights-sec; the conversion from XHTML to Gemtext is rather primitive, of necessity
14:50 Techrights-sec; yes that would work
14:50 Techrights-sec; checking
14:52 schestowitz-TR; I disabled wifi yesterday so that it uses ethernet even when wireless is available
14:52 schestowitz-TR; the router would assign another name and IP if it connects over wifi
14:52 schestowitz-TR; and that would fuck up lots of things, treated like another device

14:59 Techrights-sec; ^ these all work
14:59 Techrights-sec; having two network interfaces can confuse things anyway
15:01 schestowitz-TR; thanks, rianne and I agreed not to buy any devices yet, as we don't know for sure yet what to 'provision'
15:01 schestowitz-TR; she uses that pi to save he text files
15:01 schestowitz-TR; when the pi died they were still open in kate, so nothing lost
15:01 schestowitz-TR; only is both devices diue at the same time it results in loss

17:12 Techrights-sec; the HTTP logs have quieted down quite a bit, perhaps due to the AWK script
17:13 schestowitz-TR; no, I just haven't links to it for days
17:13 schestowitz-TR; nor have I added images

17:23 Techrights-sec; I mean also that the cracking attempts have diminished greatly
17:31 Techrights-sec; ack
18:40 schestowitz-TR; LT posting anti-Linux shit today
18:40 schestowitz-TR; told you something was amiss
18:40 schestowitz-TR; they're quit caring
18:40 schestowitz-TR; they send traffic (what's left) to "partners"...
18:40 schestowitz-TR; *they've
18:58 Techrights-sec; ack
18:58 Techrights-sec; that's really sad of them
18:58 Techrights-sec; tm-extract-posts-sql.pl seems to handle creation of GemText now
18:58 Techrights-sec; I'd still say it's sad since Software Freedom was a growth area 20 years ago
18:58 Techrights-sec; when M$ transitioned from marketing to politics
19:00 schestowitz-TR; I'm nopt sure if that saddeens me anymore
19:00 schestowitz-TR; or maybe I quit caring running a better service ourselves, maybe it'll work to our advantage
19:00 schestowitz-TR; but overall, for the sake of gnu/linux advocacy, what they do is harmful
19:00 schestowitz-TR; like authoratative linux.com being a pile of bad rubbish
19:00 schestowitz-TR; LT was getting like 3k views per new posts around 2004-5
19:00 schestowitz-TR; I still remember
19:00 schestowitz-TR; and Brian Proffitt (now IBM) ran it as editor
19:00 schestowitz-TR; he also had a short sting at LFN, Linux Foundation Network iirc
19:00 schestowitz-TR; back when they did some decent stuff
19:00 schestowitz-TR; but remember,
19:00 schestowitz-TR; "they they fight you"
19:00 schestowitz-TR; criminals wopn't turn themselves in at the police station
19:00 Techrights-sec; yes
19:00 Techrights-sec; and slashdot, being a reflection of the zeitgeist, was all about FOSS and
19:00 Techrights-sec; open standards and got many more views per post in the 00s
19:15 Techrights-sec; ok
19:15 Techrights-sec; the path for the gemini materis is /yyyy/mm/dd/slug.gmi
19:15 Techrights-sec; the path for the XHTML matrial is /n/yyyy/mm/dd/slug.shtml
19:15 Techrights-sec; or has there been another typo in the script?
19:15 Techrights-sec; tweaking the URL for gemini now so that it will be /n/yyyy/mm/dd/slug.gmi
19:19 schestowitz-TR; we coyld write rules to omit the "n/" frrom strings but ime, with techrights and schestowitz.com
19:19 schestowitz-TR; better add the second level like w and c and Weblog
19:19 schestowitz-TR; so we can have gemini.tuxmachines.org/git for example
19:19 schestowitz-TR; with no likely collision
19:19 schestowitz-TR; e.g. if we had cgi support at some point for only dir_path
19:19 Techrights-sec; all set
19:19 schestowitz-TR; and static otherwise
19:19 schestowitz-TR; regarding typos in scripts, I saw the commits, but I'm not good at reading perl
19:19 schestowitz-TR; and I only know that for the moment adding new nodes won't add them to the visible Web pages
19:19 schestowitz-TR; due to a change in interfaces (another argument required, not "implicity" fallback)
19:19 schestowitz-TR; *no implicit
19:19 schestowitz-TR; should I try adding a node now?
19:19 schestowitz-TR; starting with simpler (no images) cases?
19:20 Techrights-sec; yes, please test it
19:20 schestowitz-TR; excellent!!
19:20 schestowitz-TR; that was fast
19:20 Techrights-sec; the gemini part still has to be done manually but it can be added to the
19:20 Techrights-sec; wrapper script or a new wrapper made
19:21 Techrights-sec; There is also an option to extract the whole database at once --all
19:28 Techrights-sec; perl is quick and expressive, the challenge, like with other languages is
19:28 Techrights-sec; retaining clear meaning and annotation
19:28 Techrights-sec; when writing; performance-wise it's ok for a scripting language
19:30 schestowitz; tm-extract-posts-sql.pl
19:30 schestowitz; Either the --gemini or --xhtml option, or both, must be given.

19:30 schestowitz-TR; adding node, just a sec
19:30 schestowitz-TR; after adding the node, should I run tm-export and refresh with the new extra args?
19:30 schestowitz-TR; s/ export/extract/
19:32 Techrights-sec; ok the file system permissions for Gemini need work,
19:32 Techrights-sec; checking
19:34 schestowitz-TR; thanks
19:34 schestowitz-TR; that's as user tux machines
19:34 schestowitz-TR; I imagine roy, rianne, marius will be used later
19:34 schestowitz-TR; prob. another <group>
19:34 schestowitz-TR; after running refresh the HTTP/S version too does not refresh
19:34 Techrights-sec; you are in gemtext, but it was made in the last few days if you log in anew
19:34 Techrights-sec; at least in another window then you can try again
19:34 Techrights-sec; but the permissions /look/ ok
19:34 schestowitz-TR; looking in again
19:34 schestowitz-TR; *logging
19:46 schestowitz-TR; I get the same outcome when logging in afresh
19:46 schestowitz-TR; the last line suggests it is trying to create a directory "n" but fails, as tuxmachines
19:46 schestowitz-TR; tuxmachines is in group webmasters
19:46 schestowitz-TR; okj, I see you created this dir 10 mins ago
19:46 Techrights-sec; updated 10 min ago
19:46 Techrights-sec; it's been there for some days
19:46 Techrights-sec; but the subdirectories are new
19:46 Techrights-sec; tuxmachines is not in the group gemtext, roy is
19:55 schestowitz-TR; OK, I've only just added my keys to the account roy, so I'm in as the "right" user
19:55 schestowitz-TR; same outcome, it also gives me some other shell when I log in, like a more primitive one
19:55 schestowitz-TR; I can live with this
19:55 Techrights-sec; zsh is more advance, but we can add bash back in
19:55 Techrights-sec; ash is problematic
19:55 Techrights-sec; imho
19:58 Techrights-sec; tm-extract-posts-sql.pl -a -g -f -v
19:58 Techrights-sec; or without the -v
19:58 Techrights-sec; the -a causes a full rebuild of the gemtext hierarchy and the -f forces
19:58 Techrights-sec; overwritting the existing files
20:06 schestowitz-TR; I am trying to load gemini pages from within the paths
20:06 schestowitz-TR; done
20:06 schestowitz-TR; it says the gemni paths are not writable
20:06 schestowitz-TR; also, the http version has not been refreshing for over a day, no matter what I tried
20:06 schestowitz-TR; yes, it doesn't raise a stink
20:06 schestowitz-TR; but the site remains unchanged
20:06 schestowitz-TR; there are half a dozen pages I've added since
20:06 schestowitz-TR; they are not showing up
20:06 schestowitz-TR; they exist, I think, but not in the index
20:06 Techrights-sec; checking the http
20:06 Techrights-sec; are you using the refresh-site-from-db.sh
20:06 Techrights-sec; ?
20:06 Techrights-sec; hmm I just ran it and see the files with the right time stamps and the
20:06 Techrights-sec; web pages with the rigth content
20:06 Techrights-sec; checking the db ...

20:20 Techrights-sec; the feed, though, is not quite right
20:20 Techrights-sec; the search is extracting the records but something is going south
20:20 Techrights-sec; I'll have to look into it
20:21 schestowitz-TR; I see you've abbreviated to latest 10
20:21 schestowitz-TR; at least we've found a bug, I guess
20:21 schestowitz-TR; 0/
20:22 schestowitz-TR; both the feed (xml) and index are not refreshing
20:22 Techrights-sec; so the feed /is/ refreshing, it's just not getting the right material
20:22 Techrights-sec; I'll look into the bug
