00:08 schestowitz; <blockquote>
00:08 schestowitz; <p>The ARMv8-A architecture, which encompasses the 64-bit AArch64 architecture and associated A64 instruction set, was first introduced into the Raspberry Pi line with Raspberry Pi 3 in 2016. From that point on, it has been possible to run a full 64-bit operating system on our flagship products, and many third-party operating systems are available. However, we have continued to build our Raspberry Pi OS releases on the 32-bit
00:08 schestowitz; Raspbian platform, aiming to maximise compatibility between devices and to avoid customer confusion.</p></blockquote></li>

00:08 schestowitz; <blockquote>
00:08 schestowitz; <p>A few more things worth noting: when using the Imager tool, Raspberry Pi OS 32-bit is still the default. Youll need to choose the Raspberry Pi OS (other) category to opt for a 64-bit version of the operating system. And if you do install Raspberry Pi OS 64-bit and want to use it to stream video from Netflix or other websites that use Widevine DRM, youll need to install the 32-bit version of Google Chromium
00:08 schestowitz; since the 64-bit version doesnt have the WidevineCDM library.</p></blockquote></li>

00:18 schestowitz; <p>In this post, well use some simple text files to demonstrate what happens when you use expand and unexpand. Well also compare how these commands work with some likely more familiar commandssed and awkthat can provide similar results and offer additional options.</p></blockquote></li>
00:21 Techrights-sec; I'm not bureaucratic so am not the right person to ask. It would be useful
00:21 Techrights-sec; to note what has changed. My suspicion is that they are reducing community
00:21 Techrights-sec; involvment and increasing corporate sponsor control. Maybe it's not so
00:21 Techrights-sec; much a change in governance model but turnover among directors and difficulty
00:21 Techrights-sec; in recruiting replacements, suitable or otherwise. Like I said, I'm the
00:21 Techrights-sec; wrong person to ask about bureaucracy.
00:21 schestowitz-TR; I'm going to take a proper look and if there's smoke and/or fire maybe do that on video. They're best criticised in light of where money flows.

12:09 schestowitz-TR; I got the source code for our own gemini gateway
12:09 schestowitz-TR; so we need not rely on third parties
12:09 schestowitz-TR; I will relay an email to you
12:09 schestowitz-TR; it's bash and awk
12:10 Techrights-sec; ok
12:10 Techrights-sec; I hope there is validation there. Do you want an open proxy or just one for
12:10 Techrights-sec; the techrights domain? I'd recommend the latter.
12:10 schestowitz-TR; adding domain restriction would probably be just one line of code
12:11 schestowitz-TR; I have long wanted such a thing, to avoid spilling IPs outwards
12:11 schestowitz-TR; and something simple, not all that golang and nodejs mess
12:11 Techrights-sec; checking...
12:11 Techrights-sec; Complicated is unnecessary.
12:11 schestowitz-TR; meanwhile I am working on 2 long videos/articles
12:56 Techrights-sec; It uses old CGI not FCGI or WSGI. Simple but slow.
12:56 schestowitz-TR; can that work on our web server?
13:33 Techrights-sec; openssl on TR is too old and missing the --connect option
13:33 Techrights-sec; best to try to keep all http / https activity together on TR and not spread
13:33 Techrights-sec; it across other machines.
13:33 Techrights-sec; wait, it's there, just with modified syntax
13:33 Techrights-sec; It's too old in regards to TLS/
13:33 Techrights-sec; It could if there are some software updates ...
13:35 schestowitz-TR; sometimes you can find RPM files for (gnu tls? openssl?) that don't require a full system update, is that an option? Or we could open https port on the p, assign a new subdomain to it
13:53 Techrights-sec; tried that but it seems not to be a new enough version in the update
13:53 Techrights-sec; The version present does not handle the capsule's certificate correctly
13:54 schestowitz-TR; I have just added a draft
13:55 Techrights-sec; ack
13:55 Techrights-sec; *very good title*
13:57 schestowitz-TR; I would need help to have strong evidence for this assertion

14:19 Techrights-sec; there's a lot of obfuscated faff there nothing incriminating or non-misleading
14:38 schestowitz-TR; debt loading possible
14:38 schestowitz-TR; shuffling the pots
14:38 schestowitz-TR; IBM does this A LOT
14:38 schestowitz-TR; re gemini proxy
14:38 schestowitz-TR; so it boils down to our tls conflicting with some changes at kevin's end
14:38 schestowitz-TR; or the OS upgrade to Debian 11 introducing some new compat issues
14:38 schestowitz-TR; welcome to the joys of standard crypto
14:38 schestowitz-TR; one option we have is, maybe spin off a new alpine container
14:38 schestowitz-TR; would that make for a good suubsite?
14:39 Techrights-sec; Works fine from other distros.
14:39 Techrights-sec; works fine also from other operating systems even, e.g. OpenBSD
14:39 Techrights-sec; Yes, if we start to migrate services from the old container.
14:40 Techrights-sec; It'd be easier to open a port on the RPi but that would have very similar
14:40 Techrights-sec; disadvantages. Better to consolidate and update.
14:40 schestowitz-TR; can be a hopping point towards serving over https from a datacentre with modern OS, alpine is lean
14:40 schestowitz-TR; i shall ask kaniini
14:43 Techrights-sec; like I wrote before, I can chip in on the migration costs
14:43 Techrights-sec; does TR need ImageMagick?
14:45 Techrights-sec; Or ALSA.lib?
14:45 Techrights-sec; Better to update than spin a new container unless that new container is
14:45 Techrights-sec; a stepping stone which leads to an update.
14:47 schestowitz-TR; I was thnking more like,
14:47 schestowitz-TR; start with simple web server
14:47 schestowitz-TR; then add more to it, over time
14:47 schestowitz-TR; then migrate more componnets
14:47 schestowitz-TR; then change dns to suit changes
14:47 schestowitz-TR; either way we have many components other than OS to upgrade
14:47 schestowitz-TR; inc. wiki
14:48 Techrights-sec; yum update httpd ?
14:48 Techrights-sec; If we go that route it might be an opportunity to start with a static generator
14:48 Techrights-sec; instead. then once there is enough at the new site. pull over the
14:48 Techrights-sec; WordPress content by scraping them as static pages.
14:48 Techrights-sec; Yes, the OS is the least of it most unfortunately.
14:51 schestowitz-TR; as a rule of thumb,
14:51 schestowitz-TR; IME,
14:51 schestowitz-TR; upgrades doomed a lot of site
14:51 schestowitz-TR; and killed a lot of history
14:51 schestowitz-TR; new.siite.com is often the last of the corpse's spams
14:51 schestowitz-TR; because they hope everyone will "get on with the programme"
14:51 schestowitz-TR; in thre process a lotr gets lost along with the audience
14:51 schestowitz-TR; *spasms
14:51 schestowitz-TR; the same has been true in social control media
14:51 schestowitz-TR; like identica or doigg
14:51 schestowitz-TR; not just news sites
14:52 Techrights-sec; Yes, WP should be held at the old version but the archaic OS is hurting
14:52 Techrights-sec; Can a new container with a new OS be set up with an old version of WordPress?
14:52 Techrights-sec; Then mirroring could be tried, and if it works, the old container shut off.
14:56 schestowitz-TR; 1. the db is external to that VM/container (it was turned into the latter
14:56 schestowitz-TR; so there would be conflicting changes
14:56 schestowitz-TR; 2. wordpress need not be installed poer se, it's just a collection of php files i
14:56 schestowitz-TR; n the homedir, which get datafrom the db, inc. settings other than DB coinduit
14:56 schestowitz-TR; 3. there are likely to be mariadb and php niggling issues, as software
14:56 schestowitz-TR; moves fast and breaks stuff
14:56 schestowitz-TR; 4. we already solved the systemd booting issue, but that's a temporary measure
14:56 schestowitz-TR; 5. I want to solve the joindiaspora issue first
14:56 schestowitz-TR; 6. can you installl the scripts from kevin on your home pi for testing over the d
14:56 schestowitz-TR; omain or ip address?
14:56 schestowitz-TR; the b'w usage is low
14:56 schestowitz-TR; it can even run on openbsd alongside the existing stuff, at l;east for testing
14:56 schestowitz-TR; remember that uptime is NOT critical for this thing
14:57 schestowitz-TR; we already have appalling downtime from existing gateways
15:02 Techrights-sec; The scripts from Kevin are very dependent on Bash. That's not part of OpenBSD
15:02 Techrights-sec; but the core, gem-get, works just fine.
15:02 Techrights-sec; The Bash wrapper could be replaced with perl easily.
15:02 Techrights-sec; It'd be a new script no need to worry about the licensing AFAIK but credit shoud
15:02 Techrights-sec; be given regardless.
15:05 schestowitz-TR; you could make a deriv of it and add to git
15:05 schestowitz-TR; i did not check the code's licensing, but it is very short
15:05 schestowitz-TR; we can later do our own matching css, i am not bad at css
15:05 schestowitz-TR; and add some logic to mit access to this one domain
15:05 schestowitz-TR; afaik, the existing code is not public
15:05 schestowitz-TR; so putting out there perl swiss army knife for gem gateway
15:05 schestowitz-TR; would help enhance perl through other devs
15:05 schestowitz-TR; and would broaden its use
15:05 schestowitz-TR; the gateway bit already goes below articles and can be made to better fit the
15:05 schestowitz-TR; page visually
15:05 schestowitz-TR; most of our articles (not meme) do not truly require images
15:27 Techrights-sec;
15:27 Techrights-sec; ack
15:27 Techrights-sec; The TLS part is the question.
15:27 Techrights-sec; Excellent. That makes the content much more accessible in general and
15:27 Techrights-sec; helps Gemini a lot specifically.
15:27 Techrights-sec; ack
15:29 schestowitz-TR; i spent days looking at software foir gateway
15:29 schestowitz-TR; and chasingf down libraries
15:29 schestowitz-TR; all were overly complicated with chains of deps
15:29 schestowitz-TR; inc. gop and JS stuff
15:29 schestowitz-TR; some went further
15:29 schestowitz-TR; i assume because their devs knew nothing else
15:29 schestowitz-TR; so something ligh with modest spacs
15:29 schestowitz-TR; suddently became massive, bloated, and in need of JS at the client side
15:29 schestowitz-TR; like the reacrjs stuff we use when vulpes.one is down
15:29 schestowitz-TR; ---
15:30 schestowitz-TR; at my end=, and you too have access to dns (catalyst2), I can add a new subsite p
15:30 schestowitz-TR; ointing to the ip, as a sort of "alias" for what exists already
15:30 schestowitz-TR; to update this I can either chain to ddns
15:30 schestowitz-TR; or just use cpanel any time the ip rolls over
15:30 schestowitz-TR; (I know that better ways exist, inc noip's 'daemon)
18:07 schestowitz-TR; TR DDOS
18:07 schestowitz-TR; escalating
18:08 Techrights-sec; it's mostly hammering the login.php page, should be blocked temporarily
18:08 schestowitz-TR; the login page does not cause the spike but news-roundup, so I blocked it for now
