01:26 schestowitz-TR; 24 hours later the copying of ~gemini still goes on
01:26 schestowitz-TR; when it's done I'll do some more tests, then clone the system again (to have a spare)
01:26 schestowitz-TR; because sealing the device and figuring out how to handle ipfs
01:26 schestowitz-TR; but I just want gemini resotred fully first (not an older clone)

05:05 schestowitz-TR; excellent, thanks

05:08 Techrights-sec; wait, I have to copy the file :/
05:08 Techrights-sec; ok, for some reason the git clone is not getting updated automatically
05:08 Techrights-sec; by the update script
05:08 Techrights-sec; testing on site ...
05:17 Techrights-sec; yes, there are some other weirdnesses, the script works locally but not
05:17 Techrights-sec; on tm-new
05:17 Techrights-sec; checking ...
05:29 schestowitz-TR; planet gemini fully restored and tested now
05:29 schestowitz-TR; the main thing I 'lost' was a couple of lines in crontabs
05:29 schestowitz-TR; which I can bring back from memory
05:29 schestowitz-TR; and some days' gemini archives
05:29 schestowitz-TR; OS-wise I think the only changes we made since the last cloning was adding throttling scripts and sudoers
05:29 schestowitz-TR; I'll have to go through a list of items to restore, which I wrote down
05:29 schestowitz-TR; BTW, is an SD card becomes unbootable
05:29 schestowitz-TR; any chance of or reason to try to rewrite things to it afresh?
05:29 schestowitz-TR; like using the "bad" card as a clone for the USB system?
05:29 schestowitz-TR; just tested the 16GB cars, the one I got with the pi
05:29 schestowitz-TR; root cannot be mounted
05:29 schestowitz-TR; only boot and settings
05:29 schestowitz-TR; 3 partitions
05:29 schestowitz-TR; that's the debian 10 card
05:29 schestowitz-TR; nothing in the 32GB one can even be mounted afaict
05:30 schestowitz-TR; so I assume card damage
05:30 schestowitz-TR; I tried it on two laptop while under time pressure due to long outage and other issues
05:30 schestowitz-TR; rianne's clone card seems to work perectly OK, as it ought to
05:30 schestowitz-TR; but I'd not trust this latest 32GB one
05:30 schestowitz-TR; San Disk, but lasted barely 7 months
05:30 Techrights-sec; ack
05:37 Techrights-sec; seems solved now, Git is still confusing and the old files were still present
05:37 Techrights-sec; and a lot of small changes have been pushed with now, finally, show up
05:37 Techrights-sec; in the clone
05:37 Techrights-sec; IPFS is very write intensive, that might be a factor in the short lives of
05:37 Techrights-sec; the microSD cards
05:40 schestowitz-TR; btw, are gemini permissions suffient for gemserv to send the gmi files?
05:40 schestowitz-TR; I cannot get to any of them over gemini://
05:40 schestowitz-TR; but I assume this is far from finalised
05:40 schestowitz-TR; I'll go get rest soon, been up all night

07:42 Techrights-sec; ack
07:42 Techrights-sec; double checked the update scripts, they seem to work
08:01 schestowitz-TR; gemini rsync done
08:01 schestowitz-TR; now copying in the missing bulletins and irc log files (text, html, gmi)
08:01 schestowitz-TR; will later test as a sanity
08:01 schestowitz-TR; check.
08:01 schestowitz-TR; I am going to reboot this machine shortly, I want to also be sure the SD slot works OK
08:01 schestowitz-TR; I did a lot of work on it during the outage, worried I might have damaged something
08:01 schestowitz-TR; though judging by the state of the card, it's just the card itself having a defect
08:01 schestowitz-TR; I'll try to boot rianne's clone on it just to be sure
08:01 schestowitz-TR; then back to USB
08:01 schestowitz-TR; would you suggest cloning from USB to USB or USB to sd card? I'd have to buy a spare (still undecided on how to do IPFS)
09:07 schestowitz-TR; UDPATE: 9am - so rianne's microsd backup is fine, the sd slot works fine, it boots nicely and fast on
09:07 schestowitz-TR; my pi. I'll now finalise things here, still undecided on ipfs, then make a newer clone of rianne's
09:07 schestowitz-TR; machine to that same card. She uses that machine for NOC a lot.

09:56 schestowitz-TR; all set up and tidied up
09:56 schestowitz-TR; took me a while to recall that in tcp logger I needed to set it to eth0
09:56 schestowitz-TR; that's all set in homedirs
09:56 schestowitz-TR; but you seE? not OS files...
09:56 schestowitz-TR; when done, I'll clone the OS again
09:56 schestowitz-TR; fixed now
09:56 schestowitz-TR; last time (first outage 2 monmths ago)
09:56 schestowitz-TR; I grepped for wlan0
09:56 schestowitz-TR; I'll do it again and push to git in case it's not done already
09:56 schestowitz-TR; seems I already pushed those changes, commented out wlan and explained when to change that over
10:11 Techrights-sec; great
10:11 Techrights-sec; ack
10:11 Techrights-sec; ok
10:11 Techrights-sec; I'm still wondering how to manage the system customizations for tm-new
10:11 Techrights-sec; a Git repository would lose the file permissions and such settings
10:11 Techrights-sec; but simply copying to a spare directory hierarchy and tar'ing that
10:11 Techrights-sec; would not track changes
10:14 schestowitz-TR; I've restored the hourly updates to planet
10:14 schestowitz-TR; but I think the IRC reminders were one liners in crontab files
10:14 schestowitz-TR; which I did not backup to ~pi/crontab
10:14 schestowitz-TR; recently enough
10:14 schestowitz-TR; but not much lost, just some one-liner, which probably annoys anyway
10:14 schestowitz-TR; chat should refrresh as often as the ddos wqatcher refreshes,
10:14 schestowitz-TR; if it runs, which it does not, every 10 mins
10:14 schestowitz-TR; *now
10:14 Techrights-sec; how often does gemini.techrights.org/chat/ get refreshed?

10:24 schestowitz-TR; try NOW
10:24 schestowitz-TR; updated OK, I can see it here now
10:24 schestowitz-TR; at 4am symlinks will be created for some "missing" files
10:24 schestowitz-TR; but I still don't know if I want to carry on running ipfs from the usb
10:24 Techrights-sec; The date on the RPi is ok
10:24 Techrights-sec; ack
10:24 schestowitz-TR; started copying across ipfs files
10:24 schestowitz-TR; I can change my mind later
10:24 schestowitz-TR; it can take 1-2 days to copy!
10:24 schestowitz-TR; upside of this incident (main downside was loss of unimportant things and loss of time)
10:24 schestowitz-TR; network (wifi) OK again
10:25 schestowitz-TR; I can mout external disk again
10:25 schestowitz-TR; iptables works again
10:25 schestowitz-TR; it runs on usb, which I hope will last longer
10:25 schestowitz-TR; I'll try to get on with other stuff now
10:25 schestowitz-TR; a "necessary" nuisance, not my fault (like the 2 outages)

11:02 Techrights-sec; ok check the URL now
11:02 Techrights-sec; thanks for spotting that, I think it's fixed and can be added to Git
11:02 Techrights-sec; hmm the deletion routine will have to be updated to handle removal of
11:02 Techrights-sec; files from the Gemini hierachy, too.
11:10 schestowitz-TR; sorry for late response
11:10 schestowitz-TR; re-ran end of month tasks on the pi
11:10 schestowitz-TR; as the last backup was right before end of month
11:10 schestowitz-TR; also posted Daily Links just now
11:10 schestowitz-TR; lots of Gemini catchup in these
11:10 schestowitz-TR; no politics yet
11:10 schestowitz-TR; I also feel lucky this week is as dry as a tumble
11:10 schestowitz-TR; news-wise
11:10 schestowitz-TR; so not much temptation to cover things, putting out fires instead

11:16 schestowitz-TR; /n has + in permissions
11:16 schestowitz-TR; 2022 hasn't
11:16 schestowitz-TR; a limitation which I'm not sure imperils public access to nodes there
11:16 schestowitz-TR; didn't investigate yet
11:16 schestowitz-TR; I'm just "protecting" dirs with blank index.gmi
11:16 schestowitz-TR; though I think all gemini servers would serve nothing regardless
11:16 schestowitz-TR; they don't do directory listings
11:16 schestowitz-TR; oh, I see now, group membership exluded from writing
11:16 Techrights-sec; checking permisssions (ACLs are a necessary evil to overcome umask settings
11:16 Techrights-sec; in a group situation)
11:16 Techrights-sec; yes, the settings are correct
11:16 Techrights-sec; the subdirectories need correction though
11:26 schestowitz-TR; this helps explain why you could add to gemini and I could not
11:26 schestowitz-TR; you own the dirs and no "w" for group
11:26 schestowitz-TR; group gemtext
11:26 schestowitz-TR; I see you've g + w
11:26 schestowitz-TR; I think the dummy index.gmi I put there can be later made to list something for year, month, date
11:26 schestowitz-TR; like in techrights, in case navigation was ever to include that level of granularity, such as
11:26 schestowitz-TR; monthly archives
11:26 schestowitz-TR; that would be similar in WWW
11:26 schestowitz-TR; => January
11:26 schestowitz-TR; => February
11:26 schestowitz-TR; for crawlers' sake

11:34 Techrights-sec; yes the umask is a chronic problem in group work situations on EXT
11:34 Techrights-sec; its enough if she tries a few per day, just to smoke out more bugs with
11:34 Techrights-sec; either the software or the work flow
11:34 schestowitz-TR; for crawlers' sake
11:34 schestowitz-TR; but probably far, far from an urgent need

11:34 schestowitz-TR; and for pertinent days only 8/4 is +
11:34 schestowitz-TR; later today I'll instruct rianne to post in parallel from account rianne
11:34 schestowitz-TR; she did this as tuxmachines before
11:34 schestowitz-TR; for now, images are not so important, so usually we can leave out the top part (image)
11:34 schestowitz-TR; when pasting in tuxmachines-new
11:34 schestowitz-TR; where GD fails, Features can be used as a fallback? I gues..?
11:34 schestowitz-TR; going upstairs now to guide her
11:34 schestowitz-TR; brb
11:34 schestowitz-TR; i think her pi clone is also complete now, full root backup, bootable
11:35 schestowitz-TR; (back. her pi400 earns us a living, very valuable as a NOC with our biggest screen at home)
11:35 schestowitz-TR; strongswan+openvpn+wireguard
11:35 Techrights-sec; :)
11:35 Techrights-sec; For what it's worth, it can handle two screens concurrently and save space
11:35 Techrights-sec; and electricity by obviating the need for one of the other computers.
11:40 schestowitz-TR; she si now logged in, hunting for stories to post
11:40 schestowitz-TR; btw, she uses 2 machines
11:41 schestowitz-TR; +1 NOC
11:41 Techrights-sec; ack
11:41 schestowitz-TR; so 3
11:41 schestowitz-TR; she used to do all the NOC stuff from her laptop, which is underpowered
11:41 schestowitz-TR; the pi400 simplified things greatly
11:41 schestowitz-TR; it would not work with 2 screens in the sense that the other 2 machines are single head and it cannot be "reused" by the pi
11:41 schestowitz-TR; and one gets used as a phone
11:46 schestowitz-TR; we got our "corrected" gas bills again, second time in a week,
11:46 schestowitz-TR; coz we don't allow spy meters
11:46 schestowitz-TR; our power bills are still about 100 a month or 3.30 a day
11:46 schestowitz-TR; so maybe 1 for hot showers
11:46 schestowitz-TR; 1 home alliances (ovens, laundry)
11:46 schestowitz-TR; and just over 1 per day for 5 laptops, 2 pis
11:46 schestowitz-TR; no, 6 laptops, 2 pis, 5 external screens running 24/7
11:46 schestowitz-TR; +router, but that takes about as much a s router
11:46 schestowitz-TR; so energy prices aren't that high, albeit kliklely higher than food bills
11:46 schestowitz-TR; I know people who pay a lot more just for "telly" and having temperature control (they don't want or cannot
11:46 schestowitz-TR; keep it shut)
11:46 schestowitz-TR; so the time is, to us, more valuable than some laptop voltage
11:46 schestowitz-TR; when the laptops are idle or not used they dim down
11:46 schestowitz-TR; a bit like "smart" lights except the sensors part
11:48 Techrights-sec; yes laptops have kind of a buit-in UPS
11:51 schestowitz-TR; I was told 2 months ago why the exchanges still work during outages
11:51 schestowitz-TR; they have data and power retention built in
11:51 schestowitz-TR; so in theoryy during outages I can still surf the Web from the laptops
11:51 schestowitz-TR; but only if the router keeps power
11:51 schestowitz-TR; so I said, ok... if these outages take a while to solve (they found the culprit the second time around)
11:51 schestowitz-TR; I'll buy a UPS to share between the router and the pi, which is brittle
11:51 schestowitz-TR; 3~
11:51 schestowitz-TR; I reminded rianne twice that millioniae Torvalds was offline for 6 days due to blixzzard storm in oregon
11:51 schestowitz-TR; he never thought of getting a generator
11:51 schestowitz-TR; or a satelliute link
11:51 schestowitz-TR; to him that would be slush funds
11:51 schestowitz-TR; and help the project immensely
11:51 schestowitz-TR; James and Sheela Microsoft probably cannot even wrap their heads around the idea of fallbacks like these
11:53 Techrights-sec; utes total
11:53 Techrights-sec; otr: of maintenance
11:53 Techrights-sec; yes they have UPS on site, same for the mobile phone towers
11:53 Techrights-sec; yes and the RPi has serial and gpio so it can be used to control the other
11:53 Techrights-sec; systems and power them down and then power itself down
11:53 Techrights-sec; power used to be reliable in the US. Not any more and now a disturbingly
11:53 Techrights-sec; large number of households have backup generators rather than forcing the
11:53 Techrights-sec; politicians to fix the grid.
11:57 schestowitz-TR; if it worsens (these 2 recent outages are first in 16 years, and both connected... should not be resolved as they replaced the damaged underground cable)
11:57 schestowitz-TR; I will purchase a budget (about 50 pounds) UPC for the router and pi so I can carry on working even during blackout
11:57 schestowitz-TR; also helps with the job, where being vigilant is the key function
11:57 schestowitz-TR; not like programming, where one can say, I'll carry on later
11:57 schestowitz-TR; a colleague also had an outage recently
11:57 schestowitz-TR; not related to the weather, for sure (it's summer)
11:57 schestowitz-TR; speaking of generators, rianne's parents live in a place where one is needed to add water pressure in case
11:57 schestowitz-TR; you want a "proper" shower
11:57 schestowitz-TR; some things are taken for granted
11:57 schestowitz-TR; in the US, it seems, what used to work is takern away
11:57 schestowitz-TR; good for generator companies
11:57 schestowitz-TR; like the oil industry against electirc cars, I'm sure they're "lobby" (bribe)
11:58 *britney has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s)
12:10 Techrights-sec; yes same with the phones and just about everything there
12:10 schestowitz-TR; ok, rianne posted two nodes, the cloning of her pi is complete and she's feeling safer for the fallbacks
12:10 schestowitz-TR; landlines sucking (happens here sometimes; voice quality) steers people towards tracking devices
12:10 schestowitz-TR; what's more, what's left of public phone booths is poorly maintain, rarely works
12:10 schestowitz-TR; and "can I use your landline" would be "can I borrow your mobile?"

12:12 Techrights-sec; ack
12:12 Techrights-sec; Excellent news! I am glad to read that more distros are beginnging to track
12:12 Techrights-sec; Devuan. It would have been easier for them to have made the switch back
12:12 Techrights-sec; in 2014 but now is a good time too. Now is certainly better than later.
12:21 schestowitz-TR; if we sort out the acl bit in "2022" dir, I can change my irc stuff to also post gemini links
12:21 schestowitz-TR; I think the path leading to 08/04 is OK except at that level
12:21 schestowitz-TR; days prioe to 08/04 lack the extra acl permission
12:21 schestowitz-TR; oh, I think gemini is still not generated by default with add_and_refresh_from_db
12:29 Techrights-sec; ok checking
12:29 Techrights-sec; try now
12:29 Techrights-sec; EXT sure is annoying
12:29 Techrights-sec; checking *.sh
12:30 schestowitz-TR; ooh! nice.
12:30 schestowitz-TR; the conversion to gemtext is very good
12:30 schestowitz-TR; and shows a legend of news items in lagrange
12:30 schestowitz-TR; like it does in techrights daily links, similar format...
12:31 Techrights-sec; The conversion is less advanced though. It can only handle things one layer
12:31 Techrights-sec; deep and no special classes. However, that should not be much of an issue
12:31 Techrights-sec; since as far as I know the posts are quite short and simple.
12:31 Techrights-sec; The -a option can be added to (re-)generate the whole site, if run manually.
12:35 schestowitz-TR; I'm going to write something with sed to give us the gemini url, based on the http-xml feed
12:35 schestowitz-TR; are newly-added nodes exported to gemini with new revisions, or should thatbe done manually for now?
12:36 Techrights-sec; which context for the URL? It would be easier to add that to a perl script
12:36 Techrights-sec; which already gets run, I would guess
12:36 Techrights-sec; All three wrapper scripts now update Gemini, but it would be good to double
12:36 Techrights-sec; check that old records are updated there too.
12:37 schestowitz-TR; I'm going to give that a test
12:41 Techrights-sec; found more UTF 8 trouble :/

12:41 Techrights-sec; at least it's getting into the db ok so those parts are good
12:41 Techrights-sec; the extraction script seems to be the weak point
12:41 Techrights-sec; looking into it ...

12:50 schestowitz-TR; atm I try to figure out why some long gemini urls in the navigation pane at the top give "Not Found"
12:50 schestowitz-TR; the shorter urls work ok
12:50 schestowitz-TR; still trying to understand the pattern
12:50 Techrights-sec; yes /n/ is missing from the navigation
12:51 schestowitz-TR; yes, I was just about to say the same
12:51 schestowitz-TR; it evades me at first

13:16 Techrights-sec; ok some improvements have been made but individual navigation links here
13:16 Techrights-sec; and there are broken, looking into that now
13:22 Techrights-sec; yes the wide character problem will not be addressed in the near future
13:22 Techrights-sec; it'll be a bit before I get the gemtext generator working enough to test
13:22 Techrights-sec; further
13:22 schestowitz-TR; I see..
13:23 schestowitz-TR; the latter error means that when I add new node it'll empty existing gmi files
13:23 schestowitz-TR; due to a permission error, I use my personal account
13:23 Techrights-sec; no worries, they can be regenerated, it is the db which is the important
13:23 Techrights-sec; component, and the db is ok for now
13:23 Techrights-sec; yes checking again, it is a matter of umask and forcing that with an ACL
13:26 Techrights-sec; no error, only your and my account are in gemtext, rianne and marius need
13:26 Techrights-sec; to be added ...
13:26 Techrights-sec; all set

13:32 schestowitz-TR; thanks! I'll try to add a new node now as "roy"
13:32 schestowitz-TR; I'm not sure ay RFCs exist to specify allowed chars in URLs
13:33 Techrights-sec; rats. that is the case. No one follows the specs anyway and ther are lots
13:33 Techrights-sec; of misunderstandings. Daniel Stenberg did a very good analysis of the problem
13:33 Techrights-sec; years ago. tldr; there is no common agreement anywhere about what goes into
13:33 Techrights-sec; a URL, what is not allowed, and how it is structured. :/
13:34 schestowitz-TR; yes, I was about to say the same, but no need to change that retroactively
13:34 schestowitz-TR; what's done is done
13:34 schestowitz-TR; maybe from now on, urls can omit or skip more symbols, or maybe use hyphens
13:35 *psydruid (~psydruid@jevhxkzmtrbww.irc) has left #boycottnovell
13:36 Techrights-sec; Therefore the only way to allow the HTTP links to map to the Gemini links
13:36 Techrights-sec; would be to adjust how the HTTP links are written and remove the characters
13:36 Techrights-sec; which choke Gemini
13:36 Techrights-sec; no it's easy to fix retroactively; this is an alpha site anyway
13:36 Techrights-sec; yes the script can zap the punctuation, a problem is that there is a lot of
13:36 Techrights-sec; punctuation to choose from; perhaps there is a character class in perlre which
13:36 Techrights-sec; covers it
13:37 Techrights-sec; ack
13:37 schestowitz-TR; the stanard for url is "works with ie" -> "works with ie +firefox" -> "works with chrom* + clones"

16:11 Techrights-sec; is the editing going ok? I see that the db is locked
16:12 schestowitz-TR; there is an issue, I cannot enter data, it hands before it goes to nano
16:12 Techrights-sec; yes it is locked by rianne
16:12 Techrights-sec; hence the question
16:13 schestowitz-TR; she posted while I was alseep, got stuck with the second one
16:13 schestowitz-TR; I'll go check
16:13 Techrights-sec; thanks
16:16 schestowitz-TR; OK, not I understand why she got stuck
16:16 schestowitz-TR; tried using the same slug, Android Leftovers, twice
16:16 schestowitz-TR; I explained to her how to avoid that
16:19 Techrights-sec; did the script give a proper warning about the duplicate?
16:19 schestowitz-TR; she did the right thing by stopping when she was not sure and told me right away when I woke upo
16:19 schestowitz-TR; I didn't ask for the details
16:19 schestowitz-TR; and yes, the warning said another slug was needed
16:19 schestowitz-TR; she now knows
16:19 schestowitz-TR; I told her use something like "2" or anything unique _for that day_
16:20 Techrights-sec; maybe there should be a unique, autoincrement number ther
16:21 schestowitz-TR; wordpress automates it, adds a "2", or "3"...
16:21 schestowitz-TR; not sure I remember what drupal does uponm dupes
16:21 schestowitz-TR; techrights has so many slugs I cannot even recall what would be unique, but it shows me suggestioins, before I decided...
16:32 Techrights-sec; it'd be feasible to add, it would involve only the add and extract scripts
16:32 Techrights-sec; :(
16:32 Techrights-sec; this too is improvised
16:33 schestowitz-TR; you seem to have built a full scale, stripped down, gemini+http content management system
16:33 schestowitz-TR; which afaik is a monster that barelyu exists
16:33 schestowitz-TR; only improved things
16:33 schestowitz-TR; *improvised
16:33 schestowitz-TR; everything starts this way
16:33 schestowitz-TR; later generalised if it's of wider appeal
16:33 schestowitz-TR; IF
16:33 Techrights-sec; it's more generic than the tr version
16:38 schestowitz-TR; it looks like you already reused some code from there, I think sometimes convergence then becomes attrative
16:38 schestowitz-TR; my script start as:
16:38 schestowitz-TR; 1) do some shit
16:38 schestowitz-TR; 2) write a command to do the same shit
16:38 schestowitz-TR; 3) expand the comment to do that shit
16:38 schestowitz-TR; 4) toss in a script named helpfully for late
16:38 schestowitz-TR; 5) improve the script
16:38 schestowitz-TR; 6) add comments, vars
16:38 schestowitz-TR; 7) add 'gui' (dialog or graphical... leanred not to do the latter due to past experiene doing very nice GUIS that only I myself ever used)
16:38 Techrights-sec; ack
16:38 schestowitz-TR; 8) version control
16:38 schestowitz-TR; very few projects become mambo (extinct), zope
16:38 schestowitz-TR; or even change the world likw wordpress
16:38 schestowitz-TR; wordpress was a 'ripoof' of michel's ugly heck
16:38 schestowitz-TR; b2 (france
16:38 schestowitz-TR; you can still see the php gui of b2
16:38 schestowitz-TR; it was VERY simple
16:38 schestowitz-TR; wordpress picked gpl
16:38 schestowitz-TR; because of b2
16:38 schestowitz-TR; linux did the same
16:38 schestowitz-TR; and torvalds admits this is what got so mnay people involved in his "hobby"
16:38 schestowitz-TR; inc. some "raspe apologist"
16:39 schestowitz-TR; gpl = if I hate Torvalds' guts, I take this whole shit and coordinate with other people who hate his guts
16:39 schestowitz-TR; to do whatever we want with ALL the same code
16:39 schestowitz-TR; so Torvalkds must be nice... to people who deserve it
16:39 schestowitz-TR; mgj "forked" Linux in github
16:39 schestowitz-TR; nobody even joined that git... nobody with talent
16:40 schestowitz-TR; mambo and jooma (and other one whose name I forgot) are connected through forking
16:40 schestowitz-TR; *joomla
16:43 schestowitz-TR; the only project I did that became of wider appeal is TR
16:43 schestowitz-TR; TM is not mine... it found appeal because of texstar, susan, and texstar's distro (pclos was #1 in distrowatch) putting TM in the Firefox bookm ark
16:43 schestowitz-TR; when I installed PCLOS for my dad TM was already up there in his browser
16:43 schestowitz-TR; from my understanding, drupal was set up by texstar (I spoke to him when we took over) and susan was his partner. she sold the site she
16:43 schestowitz-TR; made with texstar when she remarried his former husband
16:43 schestowitz-TR; that's personal, so I'll stop there

16:49 schestowitz-TR; why did so many people help wordpress for free, myself included?
16:49 schestowitz-TR; we were users
16:49 schestowitz-TR; and we hacked at the code
16:49 schestowitz-TR; and we engaged in the community
16:49 schestowitz-TR; it became collective work
16:49 schestowitz-TR; same with linux and early gnu/linux users
16:50 schestowitz-TR; so for a cms it helps to get more people to deploy
16:50 *britney has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s)
16:50 schestowitz-TR; then they maake improvements

16:50 Techrights-sec; for all practical purposes close despite being FOSS
16:50 schestowitz-TR; when it became commercialised (Automattic) I increasingly lost interest
16:50 schestowitz-TR; there's a lot of WP ftatigue now
16:50 schestowitz-TR; not Wordperfect
16:50 schestowitz-TR; because people realise 1,000-file CMS is not suitable for sites with 10 pages
16:50 schestowitz-TR; and all this automatic update stuff worsens the maintaenance overhead
16:50 schestowitz-TR; so they need to get expensive hosting that includes backups, support, uypgrades...
16:50 schestowitz-TR; like php upgrades, OS upgrades, lots of dependencies in WP
16:50 schestowitz-TR; some months agoi a very small site, bytes media, took 1-2 hours of my time because after php upgrade

17:00 schestowitz-TR; ghoist, hgo and jekyll are among the better known ones
17:00 schestowitz-TR; the market does not reward many
17:00 schestowitz-TR; it gravitates towards "hgegemony" like 6-EYES and systemd and Microsoft Windows... or Android in mobile

17:00 schestowitz-TR; banks say that a lot
17:03 schestowitz-TR; wordpress was not alwats "easy" to install
17:03 schestowitz-TR; it still is not
17:03 schestowitz-TR; I installed it last year and in 2004
17:03 schestowitz-TR; CNET hired Matt Mullenweg to install it for them so the staff can blog
17:03 schestowitz-TR; they probably paid some lincence for an expensive prioprioetary cms up to that point... since the 90s
17:03 schestowitz-TR; later came "WordPress MU" (multiuser)
17:03 schestowitz-TR; and then deals with ISPs and WQebhosts
17:03 schestowitz-TR; and Fantastico etc.
17:03 schestowitz-TR; all those "one click install" scripts wrapped up in a GUI
17:03 schestowitz-TR; so it was a lot to do with bundling
17:03 schestowitz-TR; then came wordpress.coim
17:03 schestowitz-TR; which it turn became like a webhost
17:03 schestowitz-TR; Drupal's company moved in the same direction
17:03 schestowitz-TR; afaik, it's still the host of opensource.com

17:04 schestowitz-TR; I recently showed visually the history of the FSF site
17:06 schestowitz-TR; rms told me they'd look into serving gnu and fsf pages over gemini but of coursew not much gets done by the fsf these days
17:06 schestowitz-TR; 2-3 years ago they said they'd make a code repo project akin to gitlab, in order to replqce github
17:06 schestowitz-TR; don't even remind them now... as nothing gone done, you might even call all their projected daya vapourware

17:12 Techrights-sec; I'm still concerned about the passivity of the FSF and the derailed nature of
17:12 Techrights-sec; the EFF
17:15 schestowitz-TR; the sad thing is that they don't care about your concern and don't want to be saved, as they do not think
17:15 schestowitz-TR; they need saving. they do exactly what some people who took the baton always wanted to do
17:15 schestowitz-TR; in the EFF's case, I don't consider doctorow to be a flag bearer but a mascot who is salaried for "mascotting"
17:15 schestowitz-TR; isn eckersely or whatever his name was still there?
17:15 schestowitz-TR; *ley
17:15 schestowitz-TR; rather than the modern diversity candidate with no technical background, just some history in politics
17:15 schestowitz-TR; and by politics I mean part of some hornets' net in sopcial control media
17:17 Techrights-sec; There's now a field reserved for making the URLs unique in the keys table.
17:17 Techrights-sec; Any preference on what it shall be called? Only the add and extract will
17:17 Techrights-sec; need to use it, the former read-write and the latter read-only.

17:19 schestowitz-TR; uid

17:19 Techrights-sec; ballast?
17:19 Techrights-sec; I hope that they would listen more to Cory Doctorow more than they do. He
17:19 Techrights-sec; has figured out the situation and has a good idea of a feasible way forward.
17:22 schestowitz-TR; they will not promote him
17:22 schestowitz-TR; it would threaten people who rely on eff having c and d... and z types
17:22 schestowitz-TR; they already ousted gilmore after so many years there
17:22 schestowitz-TR; doctorow "got the message" loud and clear
17:22 schestowitz-TR; haha, and don't expet him to write anything about billg there
17:22 schestowitz-TR; eff has been too busy picking on RMS
17:22 schestowitz-TR; mentioning bill's evil patents can put off big funders like mark cuban, who also
17:22 schestowitz-TR; invested in patent trolls
17:22 schestowitz-TR; but later funded a campaign against "bad patents"
17:22 Techrights-sec; unfortunately so
17:26 schestowitz-TR; I recently read an article about class solidarity at the TOP
17:26 schestowitz-TR; they map their "enemies".... the ones who must be kept quiet, like the two melbourne students
17:26 schestowitz-TR; Assange and Pocock
17:26 schestowitz-TR; unlike Francis Gurry (also same university/) from WIPO... the agency which deploatformed Pocock
17:26 schestowitz-TR; doctorwow speaks a lot about class issue, like russell brand, so he's just there to be a jester
17:26 schestowitz-TR; and won't be put in a suit
17:26 schestowitz-TR; the suit is reserved for James and Sheela Microsoft
17:26 schestowitz-TR; Torvbalds can get old, cold, and die in a bathrobe
17:26 schestowitz-TR; "I actually made Linux... when that word meant something"
17:26 schestowitz-TR; Larry Sagner: I co-founded Wikipedia
17:26 schestowitz-TR; two men: tesla is our company, but we were paid not to tell you this. hush hush.
17:26 schestowitz-TR; fraudurocracy
17:28 schestowitz-TR; wozniak did not get canceled or forcibly sent to therapist, but he's a niche and only erevered among geeks
17:28 schestowitz-TR; to the average apple "consumer" it's all Jobs and Crook
17:28 schestowitz-TR; marketing people and financiers
17:30 schestowitz-TR; wozniak did not get canceled or forcibly sent to therapist, but he's a niche and only erevered among geeks
17:30 schestowitz-TR; to the average apple "consumer" it's all Jobs and Crook
17:30 schestowitz-TR; marketing people and financiers
17:30 schestowitz-TR; kooyman is dutch and has too much decency in the culture to "do a zemlin" on rms imho
17:30 schestowitz-TR; it's no bully de bblanc or deb icaza, but fsf has stagnated regardless (inaction)
17:34 Techrights-sec; sadly, wozniak scrambled his own brains in an unnecessary plane crash which
17:34 Techrights-sec; came very close to outright killing him off. That's why he's been off to the
17:34 Techrights-sec; side.
17:34 Techrights-sec; It could have been much worse, but it could also have been much better.
17:34 Techrights-sec; Without the severe, permanent brain damage he could have continued in some
17:34 Techrights-sec; kind of engineering role until cancellation
17:34 Techrights-sec; or retirement
17:37 schestowitz-TR; I'm looking for links to add, it's a slow news day tbh
17:37 schestowitz-TR; which suits me (as does the week off work) because of the incidents
17:37 schestowitz-TR; slept like a baby knowing tuxmachines if finally in gemini:// too
17:37 schestowitz-TR; and for now it's only advertised in irc
17:37 schestowitz-TR; not in the html pages or the official (old) site
17:37 schestowitz-TR; although the capsule does not replace anything, so in theory it could be advertised
17:37 schestowitz-TR; before the "replacement" CMS
17:37 schestowitz-TR; I tested itr earlier with lagrange, I no longer keep like 5 gemini clients open like I used to
17:37 schestowitz-TR; a year ago when I tried to promote adoption of gemini
17:40 schestowitz-TR; what I did not envision before is that tuxmachines migration would make migration of techrights a lot easier
17:40 schestowitz-TR; as it's the same OS and there's room for reuse. we moaned a lot about www and systemd and better later than never
17:40 schestowitz-TR; to do something outselves, too, about those issues. And best in august when it's quiet. rianne is focusing now on
17:40 schestowitz-TR; exams for citizenship so we can proceed in sept. can take 6-9 months.
17:42 Techrights-sec; yes
17:42 Techrights-sec; 6 to 9 months is a long time, is it a large course load?
17:45 schestowitz-TR; 6 months is how long they process application, the course is like 150 multiple choice ("Murican style") questions
17:45 schestowitz-TR; and should be easy enugh for "halima" and "singh" and "chong" to pass too
17:45 schestowitz-TR; so rianne can do ok, same for english test
17:45 schestowitz-TR; the paper reqs are very easy too
17:45 schestowitz-TR; the key thing is, be in the country a lot the past 5 years, have no criminal record
17:45 schestowitz-TR; turns out employment record is barely a factor, just 2 letters oif recomm
17:45 schestowitz-TR; I too would apply, but after brexit I hold on to my existing passport
17:57 schestowitz-TR; "oligarch" like peter thiel can just buy themselves passports anywhere without all those "Acid tests" that weed out opportunists, imposters,
17:57 schestowitz-TR; pretenders and even terrorists
17:57 schestowitz-TR; because his class is the one deciding the laws and assessing merit
17:57 schestowitz-TR; if you check irc logs in gemini, you'll see tuxmachines links now come with gemini urls, too
18:03 Techrights-sec; ack

18:08 schestowitz-TR; Techrights updates done by polling or sending a signal over ssh when new articles are published
18:08 schestowitz-TR; with tuxmachines it is instant and the hosting resides on the same machine
18:08 schestowitz-TR; with nginx and gemini-proxy the address gemini.tuxmachines.org can also serve over http/s
18:08 schestowitz-TR; but then it needs to decipher the subdomain parts so as to not conflate with "news" or "beta" etc.
18:08 schestowitz-TR; so one option is to use apache and change the config
18:08 schestowitz-TR; but tbh, not practical use to that
18:08 schestowitz-TR; a proxy for a gemini version of a site that already serves https, and does so better
18:08 schestowitz-TR; atm if you enter gemin.tuxmachines.org in a browser it gives the proper site
18:08 schestowitz-TR; so no point running gemini-proxy there, ignore my out-loud thought
18:08 schestowitz-TR; I answered my own question, sort of
18:09 Techrights-sec; yes
18:16 Techrights-sec; ack
18:16 schestowitz-TR; 'doing a pelosi' = trying to undermine other superpowers to distract from the failure of your own
18:16 schestowitz-TR; see also: zero-summers, Microsoft infiltrators
18:16 schestowitz-TR; rianne is furious as she worked in taiwan
18:16 schestowitz-TR; and I told her, taiwan can be the "eastern front" ukraine
18:16 schestowitz-TR; it'll take 10 million chinese missiles while we wave wtaiwan flags and boast about the hereism of the people
18:16 schestowitz-TR; of taiwan
18:16 schestowitz-TR; just so that they can destroy like 1000 chinese tanks, based on soviet designs
18:16 schestowitz-TR; plus, US weapon sales, so you profit while you watch the cannon foder languishing (*fodder)
18:16 schestowitz-TR; waving taiwanese symbols and flags in an homage for their bravery
18:16 schestowitz-TR; slavix moujahadeen, "chinito" moujahadeen, who next?
18:18 schestowitz-TR; during and/or after wars (if you withstand them) you can justify going into higher gdp/debt ratio
18:18 schestowitz-TR; japan is still about 1:3

18:27 schestowitz-TR; japan's imperial navala and air force is connected to the british, which taught and equipped them
18:27 schestowitz-TR; empires sees alike
18:27 schestowitz-TR; but japan chose the "wrong" allies and went too far against china, like hitler in russia

18:35 schestowitz-TR; news.tuxmachines.org is already in google's search index
18:35 schestowitz-TR; I'm starting to add more nodes now, it gives me 3 urls
18:36 schestowitz-TR; old, new, and gemini
18:36 schestowitz-TR; I think I found a bug, the latest page added has ":" and "," in the URL
18:36 schestowitz-TR; lagrange cannot access it
18:52 Techrights-sec; checking
18:52 Techrights-sec; np
18:52 Techrights-sec; :)
18:52 schestowitz-TR; thanks, and sorry if I typed too much this past hour or two
18:52 schestowitz-TR; I'm getting back to my routine for the first time since the outage
18:52 schestowitz-TR; I get system bell-ed now when you commit
18:52 schestowitz-TR; and afaik, the multiple listener issue is not resolved
18:54 Techrights-sec; checking the mqtt logs ...
18:56 schestowitz-TR; does it fit your screen ok?
18:56 Techrights-sec; which session>
18:56 Techrights-sec; ?
18:56 Techrights-sec; the multiple listener issue seems fixe
18:58 schestowitz-TR; can you see the new tmux pane
18:58 schestowitz-TR; sorry, im meant windows, not pane
18:58 Techrights-sec; the multiple listener issue seems fixe
18:58 Techrights-sec; d
18:58 Techrights-sec; which session name?
19:00 schestowitz-TR; ytalk
19:00 schestowitz-TR; there are now vertically-split panes at my end
19:00 schestowitz-TR; not sure if you see those too
19:01 Techrights-sec; there's no shared tmux session called ytalk on tm-new
19:01 Techrights-sec; those are different sessions not connected except through ytalk
19:01 Techrights-sec; so what you see will be separatefrom what I see
19:01 schestowitz-TR; no,the one we use right now, on your pi
19:06 schestowitz-TR; I see, I'll keep it like this at my end to spare an extra open terminal
19:06 schestowitz-TR; (I use your pi to connect to my pi, which routes to my laptop that does periodic alerts re git
19:06 schestowitz-TR; if you sudo su roy
19:06 schestowitz-TR; and then tmux a -t ytalk in another terminal you will see what I mean
19:21 Techrights-sec; those are different sessions not connected except through ytalk
19:21 Techrights-sec; so what you see will be separatefrom what I see, they're in different acccounts
19:21 Techrights-sec; I can guess but don't want to disturb the session there
19:24 schestowitz-TR; resized the windows a bit, ctrl+b+up/down
19:24 schestowitz-TR; so beneath your size I can see the latest links, and git commits for each repo, plus some details
19:24 schestowitz-TR; mqtt does real-time alerts
19:24 schestowitz-TR; todo: use that as a trigger
19:24 schestowitz-TR; send message to knotify so I don't have to check the terminal
19:30 schestowitz-TR; added window in tandem for git show
19:30 schestowitz-TR; when something new comes in
19:30 schestowitz-TR; as code can communicate better than words and save you the hassle explaining
19:30 *britney (~britney@muarsy2vret2q.irc) has joined #boycottnovell
19:31 Techrights-sec; nice, I'll take a look
19:32 schestowitz-TR; the git show thing is a separate terminal though, running on the LAN
19:32 schestowitz-TR; the screen in front of my face, where ytalk is at the centre
19:32 schestowitz-TR; (I've not done videos in days, but have no good topics to cover either)
19:38 schestowitz-TR; cd ~/Git-TM/tuxmachines.org/tuxmachines.org/ && git show && cd ~/Git && git show
19:41 Techrights-sec; ack
19:46 schestowitz-TR; hit needed: how to add hook to sub_forgotitsname for executing a command
19:46 schestowitz-TR; second thought: I already get real-time system bell, can run it manually when that happens and am not in the middle of something
19:55 britney; cocaine is a hell of a drug
19:57 schestowitz-TR; you tried it?
19:57 schestowitz-TR; Techrights-sec:
19:57 schestowitz-TR; re
19:57 schestowitz-TR; - $post = &xhtml_to_gemtext($post);
19:57 schestowitz-TR; are you reusing code?
19:57 schestowitz-TR; I think some perl libs were done that help with conversions
19:57 schestowitz-TR; I saw that in "awesomeGemini"
19:57 schestowitz-TR; newswaffle reuses a lot of things to make its very decent conversions
19:59 schestowitz-TR; + $body = &xhtml_to_gemtext($body);
19:59 schestowitz-TR; now it's easy for me to see what happens in real time ^_^
20:03 schestowitz-TR; literally just finished the dails links, will do my quiterss feeds now, there will be updates in TM
20:04 Techrights-sec; yes, reusing code
20:04 Techrights-sec; if functions turn up in more than one script I can split them out into a module
20:04 Techrights-sec; but I think there is only one function like that so far and so that's still
20:04 Techrights-sec; on the list of things to do
20:04 Techrights-sec; there are still some UTF8 matters to clear up among other things
20:05 schestowitz-TR; if it's any solace, utf-x issues were also a pain in old TM
20:05 schestowitz-TR; drupal cannot, in particular, cope with emoji and other "high bit" input
20:05 schestowitz-TR; which means I need to double-check everything I post there
20:05 britney; <schestowitz-TR> you tried it?
20:05 britney; no lol
20:06 schestowitz-TR; I had a canadian girldfriend ages ago
20:06 schestowitz-TR; and she did schrooms sometimes
20:06 schestowitz-TR; in parties
20:06 schestowitz-TR; as a teen
20:06 schestowitz-TR; *shrooms
20:06 schestowitz-TR; I germanised that
20:06 britney; shrooms are kinda intense
20:07 britney; if i had a choice between mushrooms and LSD, I'd take the LSD
20:07 schestowitz-TR; I never even tried pot
20:07 schestowitz-TR; our neighbours smoke it in t he back yard
