05:42 schestowitz-TR; Yesterday I think I may have intnetionally created multiple pages with the same slug

05:42 schestowitz-TR; seeing if it complaints about dupe is adds "2" at the end to resolve a conflict

05:42 schestowitz-TR; it did not complain, but I didn't loook below the surface.

05:52 Techrights-sec; there are a bunch of changes

05:52 Techrights-sec; i've checked the xhtml pages but need to debug the gemtext navigational links

05:52 Techrights-sec; all set with gemtext, too, now

05:52 Techrights-sec; though when cloning git, the pushes get truncated such that they go in to the

05:52 Techrights-sec; repository but the update script fails to trigger

05:52 Techrights-sec; wait, it triggers, it's just my listener which is off

05:52 Techrights-sec; anyway it should now be possible to reuse the same slug on the same day

05:54 schestowitz-TR; excellent, that would help a lot with leftovers, howtos, and Android (rianne)

05:54 schestowitz-TR; if the collision is handled automatically

05:54 schestowitz-TR; btw, I do get rattling alaerts when you push to git, then I run the one-liner (will become longer later)

05:54 schestowitz-TR; to see the summary and nature (code) of the commit

05:54 schestowitz-TR; so I can usually figure out what has changed

05:54 Techrights-sec;

05:54 Techrights-sec; ok

05:54 Techrights-sec; cool

05:55 schestowitz-TR; .directory was entered into the repo

05:55 schestowitz-TR; under /Gemini

05:56 schestowitz-TR; I'll fix this

06:00 schestowitz-TR; <techrights-news> Wait till Microsoft GitHub too starts deleting millions of 'free' accounts and project hosting to "Save" money... Microsoft still loses money on GitHub, but it's about occupation and oppression

06:00 schestowitz-TR; GitHub = CodePlex, but starting from the top, not the bottom. How did it end up for Mixer, Codeplex and Soapbox users? They lost everything. Microsoft tossed all their work in the bin. "it's just business, nothing personal..."

06:03 Techrights-sec; ack

06:11 schestowitz-TR; headsup: looks like permissions in gemini dirs changed

06:11 schestowitz-TR; I added a new node, got permission denied for writing

06:11 schestowitz-TR; in gemini dir

06:13 *DaemonFC has quit (Quit: Leaving)

06:15 schestowitz-TR; it generated anempty slug for me just now

06:15 schestowitz-TR; I had to type another one

06:16 Techrights-sec; checking

06:16 Techrights-sec; they look right which file ?

06:16 Techrights-sec; the "quote" needs to be clearer that it is only ballmer's opinion and not that

06:16 Techrights-sec; of tr

06:16 Techrights-sec; tm-extract-posts-sql.pl ?

06:16 schestowitz-TR; you mean the escobar article re systemd? I was just about to flag it to you as something you def want to read

06:19 Techrights-sec; gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2022/08/05/The_Creature_Has_A_New_Master.gmi

06:19 Techrights-sec; reading

06:19 Techrights-sec; m$ did not give up the fight, and not only changed tactics but has escalated

06:19 Techrights-sec; its attacks; it could be worded more strongly in the post

06:19 Techrights-sec; ack

06:19 schestowitz-TR; yes!

06:19 schestowitz-TR; we keep saying this

06:19 schestowitz-TR; he reads techrights since the early days

06:19 schestowitz-TR; sometimes asks me for pointers and links to do his articles

06:19 schestowitz-TR; you can see ibm's image is now tarnished

06:20 Techrights-sec; systemd does a lot of harm in and of itself; it is overly complicated and

06:20 Techrights-sec; monolithic; those are two harms among others

06:21 schestowitz-TR; anyway, just wanted to point to it (you beat me to it), not discuss it atm as I've overslept by 3.5 hours 'by accident'

06:21 schestowitz-TR; have like a ton of unread items now :(

06:21 Techrights-sec; ok np

06:22 schestowitz-TR; rianne posted 4-5 links around midnight, too tired to cross-post in "-new"

06:22 schestowitz-TR; but at least covering the more important stories

06:22 schestowitz-TR; and pclinux magacine editor added this edition to tuxmachines with his own account there

06:22 schestowitz-TR; I've still only caught up with hald this edition/issue

06:35 schestowitz-TR; Gitlab vindicates us

06:35 schestowitz-TR; next, I hope, will be github

06:35 schestowitz-TR; we always said the same

06:35 schestowitz-TR; learn some git, nobody else gives more of a shit about your project than you

06:35 schestowitz-TR; microsoft won't even fight to keep you safe from dmca

06:35 schestowitz-TR; lawyers cost money

06:44 schestowitz-TR; - my $sth = $dbh->prepare('SELECT date,slug FROM keys WHERE recno=?')

06:44 schestowitz-TR; + my $sth = $dbh->prepare('SELECT date,slug,ballast FROM keys WHERE recno=?')

06:44 schestowitz-TR; iirc, ballast is a unique one

06:44 schestowitz-TR; surrogate for slug

06:46 schestowitz-TR; I've not checked why, but when adding new nodes it does not have permission to write the gmi pages


7 AM, August 5

07:42 schestowitz-TR; bASED ON THE TESTS (sorry caps), I think you already know that two new entries on the day with the same slug

07:42 schestowitz-TR; lead to the same page, it has just happened with today's howtos (you can see both in the front page)

07:48 Techrights-sec; both howtos are in the db ok, checking the extraction script

07:49 schestowitz-TR; excellent, thank you

07:49 schestowitz-TR; I just trying throwing many new nodes at it

07:50 schestowitz-TR; and report things that go 'wrong'

07:50 schestowitz-TR; but all in all it has gotten much moe "Smooth sailing"

07:50 schestowitz-TR; the gmi part is very new, so I expect more edge cases there

07:50 schestowitz-TR; it just moans about my accoutn,m "roy", not being allowed to write a gmi file

07:50 Techrights-sec; np

07:50 Techrights-sec; thanks

07:51 schestowitz-TR; for rianne, the CLI is easy as I put it right next to her TM-dedicated browser

07:51 schestowitz-TR; so she just pasted things twice

07:51 schestowitz; Could not open '/home/gemini/gemini/n/2022/08/05/KIO_Admin.gmi' for writing: Permission denied

07:52 Techrights-sec; the account is in the group gemtext how many weeks has that session been logged

07:52 Techrights-sec; in ? If the session predates the addition of that group, you'll have to log out

07:52 Techrights-sec; and then log back in again, closing that tmux session too

07:53 schestowitz-TR; we lost power and connection days ago,

07:53 schestowitz-TR; so it cannot be so old

07:53 schestowitz-TR; also, I use no tmux session for these things, just 3 terminals

07:53 schestowitz-TR; one is for wget (images)

07:54 Techrights-sec; no that is on your end, I'm talking about on the server end

07:56 schestowitz-TR; let me try from a new session...

07:56 Techrights-sec; wait, it;s the ACLs in that hierarchy, adjusting

07:57 Techrights-sec; fixed

07:57 Techrights-sec; sorry about that, one letter was omitted in the previous setup

07:57 schestowitz-TR; I'll check the gemini urls now :-)

09:34 Techrights-sec; has the IP address for the RPi changed?

09:34 Techrights-sec; never mind, perhaps the connection is just really slow

09:34 Techrights-sec; to establish

09:34 Techrights-sec; hugo or jekyll would have been the fast way but they would have been without

09:34 Techrights-sec; Gemini and not tuned to the specific use-cases of TM

09:34 Techrights-sec; ack

09:37 schestowitz-TR; back

09:37 schestowitz-TR; yes, the pi is running rsync and is high load-wise

09:37 schestowitz-TR; because it's on USB

09:37 schestowitz-TR; re static page generators, I looked but did not first-hand test about a dozen before deciding

09:37 schestowitz-TR; they would be the wrong approach

09:37 schestowitz-TR; as you can recall, I still have that old prototype where it's basically just a cron job scanning for files by age and making

09:37 schestowitz-TR; an index of them

09:38 Techrights-sec; yes though static-only can drift to quite a mess if there is not a dedicated

09:38 Techrights-sec; time each week, or more often, to ensure standardization. Use of the database

09:38 Techrights-sec; like this ensure exact uniformity plus it allows the site to be redesigned and

09:38 Techrights-sec; regenerated based on a new design, within limits

09:39 *britney has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s)

09:40 schestowitz-TR; I'm thinking, /home/gemini/gemini/index.gmi can be regenerated every hour with data %y/%m/%d etc

09:40 schestowitz-TR; running ls or find

09:40 schestowitz-TR; and then making a list

09:40 schestowitz-TR; =>

09:40 schestowitz-TR; or latest 50

09:40 schestowitz-TR; archives can be done the same for date ' %y/%m/'

09:40 schestowitz-TR; before the capsule is reported to the geminispace

09:42 schestowitz-TR; i imagine later there would be a gemini user ~gemini/git

09:42 schestowitz-TR; which has read-only access to git

09:42 schestowitz-TR; and then reuse the code from TR

09:51 Techrights-sec; cron would be inefficient for that. it would be more appropriate to hook

09:51 Techrights-sec; the regeration into the refresh script(s)

09:51 Techrights-sec; so that it happens once and only once each update

09:54 schestowitz-TR; yeah, that would keep it 100% in sync with the www site

09:54 schestowitz-TR; btw, when rsync is done on the pi it'll reconstruct the indexes for bulletins and irc logs

09:54 schestowitz-TR; nothing urgent, those are not accessed much anyway

09:54 schestowitz-TR; as for ipfs, I might run it just 30 mins a day

09:54 schestowitz-TR; until they figure out their scale problem

09:54 schestowitz-TR; if a problem has a feasible solution at all

09:54 schestowitz-TR; which I doubt

09:54 schestowitz-TR; it's like bitcoin

09:54 schestowitz-TR; you need more and more and more resources

09:54 schestowitz-TR; untilt eh breaking point where power and network use is higher than the shitcoin is worth

09:54 schestowitz-TR; or, in ipfs, the amount of network and cpu used isn't worth the actual traffic it delivers

09:54 schestowitz-TR; i don't want to do a videoi about it to "|bash" them while there's still a chance they'll make it

09:54 schestowitz-TR; more efficient, as ethereum tried

09:55 schestowitz-TR; the addition of new items to the hashpool did get a lot faster with the latest upgrade

09:55 schestowitz-TR; I think owing to some caching

09:55 Techrights-sec; ack


10 AM, August 5

10:02 Techrights-sec; ack

10:02 Techrights-sec; I just checked the wrapper scripts and they should already generate both

10:04 schestowitz-TR; in techrights if you acces [month] or [[year] I think it lists items for those

10:04 schestowitz-TR; both in www and gemini

10:04 schestowitz-TR; in tm it says forbidden

10:05 schestowitz-TR; because not implemented yet

10:05 schestowitz-TR; do you think it'll be worth having images for posts available over gemini:// too? maybe softlinked to var/www/...?

10:15 schestowitz-TR; it's good that you're making it more verbose (refresh)

10:15 schestowitz-TR; that can help rianne and marius too

10:15 schestowitz-TR; and the push towards "push notifications"

10:15 schestowitz-TR; this might be hookable for irc

10:15 schestowitz-TR; so it updates even if I'm afk

10:15 schestowitz-TR; it's already doable, but if there is a glitch, it can flood the channel

10:22 Techrights-sec; not sure about linking images from the Gemtext, they would require an external

10:22 Techrights-sec; viewer anyway.

10:24 schestowitz-TR; microsoft is a cancer that attached itself to everything in every imaginable sense

10:24 schestowitz-TR; look what they have done to Linux-centric companies and orgs

10:24 schestowitz-TR; nobody comes up on top

10:24 schestowitz-TR; barely even microsoft

10:24 schestowitz-TR; ot's about destroying the rivals

10:24 schestowitz-TR; to achieve parity by demolition

10:24 schestowitz-TR; that's why many people "hate" Microsoft

10:24 schestowitz-TR; they know the pattern

10:26 schestowitz-TR; so he got "eye4eye'd"

10:26 schestowitz-TR; the toronto company

10:26 schestowitz-TR; i4i

10:29 Techrights-sec; Yes, there is a very, very long list of defunct companies that though they could

10:29 Techrights-sec; somehow be the first to survive working with M$

10:29 Techrights-sec; And Sendo and SendIT and many, many others

10:29 Techrights-sec; m$ only partners so as to loot the ideas and / or copyrights and patents

10:29 Techrights-sec; Anyway, "plain text: it was good enough for Shakespeare"

10:29 Techrights-sec; Do Marius and Rianne want / need certificates for the MQTT feed? Each client

10:29 Techrights-sec; connections needs a unique set so as to be able to authenticate /to/ the

10:29 Techrights-sec; client to the server, not just the from the server to the client.

10:29 schestowitz-TR; I doubt they have any use for it _at this point_

10:30 Techrights-sec; Ok. The docs are in the daemon's directory if I forget later.

10:30 Techrights-sec; IIRC the certificates on the server/ broker are timed for a year or two

10:30 Techrights-sec; so that the knowledge stays somewhat fresh.

10:31 Techrights-sec; MQTT can focus on specific topics by adding or omitting -t options

10:31 Techrights-sec; so the Git one can be ignored and the site hierarchy be followed that way.

10:32 schestowitz-TR; good to know that option exists

10:32 schestowitz-TR; atm, both old and news TM are tracked by polling rss/xml feeds

10:33 schestowitz-TR; and then a line gets generated for irc when there's something previously unseen

10:55 Techrights-sec; mosquitto_sub ... | tee -a /dev/stderr | awk '... { system(...);}'

11:00 schestowitz-TR; draft

11:00 schestowitz-TR; just a quick one

11:00 Techrights-sec; checking

11:02 schestowitz-TR; "phones" have

11:02 schestowitz-TR; -) made computing more accessible

11:02 schestowitz-TR; but

11:02 schestowitz-TR; -) made computing FAR less efficient

11:02 Techrights-sec; Phones are definitely less efficient

11:02 schestowitz-TR; an interesting conundrum

11:02 schestowitz-TR; tbh, works to our advantage (those who don't bother with "I got a like" or "friend got a like" or "read your email on this keyboardless 5-inch screen")

11:04 Techrights-sec; Those people are fewer and fewer and even otherwise smart people get trapped

11:04 Techrights-sec; into the addiction and fight with all the stereotypical behaviors associated

11:04 Techrights-sec; with severe addiction.

11:12 schestowitz-TR; a week ago, ina context I forgot by now, Iw as about to say that thew nature of addiction is,

11:12 schestowitz-TR; the aqddict is unable to admit the addiction and/or the harm

11:12 schestowitz-TR; social control media is a lot like this too

11:12 schestowitz-TR; rianne has just posted a new node alll on her own, I showed her that it's in gemini as well

11:12 schestowitz-TR; she will need too try out some geminji clients soonon

11:12 schestowitz-TR; I think this might be a good subject for today's video

11:12 schestowitz-TR; but epo is more urgent

11:13 Techrights-sec; Heck they tend to use almost the same words and excuses as regular junkies

11:13 Techrights-sec; when defending their habit.

11:13 Techrights-sec; That denial is a classic behavior. "I can quit any time..."

11:13 Techrights-sec; Keep the EPO's feet to the fire

11:15 schestowitz-TR; with epo i depend a lot on what's leaked to me

11:15 schestowitz-TR; so control of pace isn't solely at my hands

11:15 schestowitz-TR; unless I "metoo" the 'media'

12:26 Techrights-sec; s/is/will soon be/

12:26 Techrights-sec; remember this is still in alpha though progress is being made

12:26 Techrights-sec; s/will deploy the same/will deploy something similar/

12:26 Techrights-sec; the problem with the microSD cards is mostly that the excessive disk usage

12:26 Techrights-sec; writing wears them out rather quickly; reading is less of a problem

12:26 Techrights-sec; back in about an hour

12:28 schestowitz-TR; thanks, we'll have a major seriea about epo in a few weeks, so I hope the sites will be in a good state and the with my life, which due to external

12:28 schestowitz-TR; factors required dealing with many activities I'd rather avoid

12:31 schestowitz-TR; I will do 1 or 2 videos about epo later today

12:31 schestowitz-TR; thanks for being patient while I fought back the bullshit over here

12:31 schestowitz-TR; and slept not enough until last night

14:04 schestowitz-TR; <techrights-news> Just when you think clickfraud spamnil has hit rock bottom he publishes two videos that after almost 2 days get 5 views or LESS. In two days.

14:07 schestowitz-TR; LF turns the "Linux" brand into a joke, either by intention or incompetence reinforced by LF board http://techrights.org/2022/06/08/lf-defrauding-clients/

14:29 schestowitz-TR; doing two vids in a row

14:29 schestowitz-TR; ota

14:55 schestowitz-TR; done, now making html from PDFs

14:55 schestowitz-TR; so glad to be back to this routine

14:55 schestowitz-TR; order of importance: docs, then text, then video

15:16 *DaemonFC (~daemonfc@wuq97prk5c5sc.irc) has joined #boycottnovell

15:22 schestowitz-TR; draft

15:45 schestowitz-TR; ipfs rsync complete, no errors!

15:45 schestowitz-TR; faster than I imagined

15:45 schestowitz-TR; so tomorrow circa 4am the capsule should be 100% complete again, I'll try to see how ipfs hammers the blocks

15:45 schestowitz-TR; and maybe consider limiting it even further

15:45 schestowitz-TR; the hashes can hibernate for a while until we figure things out

15:45 schestowitz-TR; some people I know run ipfs from datacentres

15:45 schestowitz-TR; some web3 phonies try to sell "accerlaration" services

15:45 Techrights-sec; checking

15:45 Techrights-sec; excellent

15:45 Techrights-sec; maybe just run IPFS at night or during naps / sleep ?


4 PM, August 5

16:01 DaemonFC; schestowitz-TR, The size reduction of using Gemtext to read the news is a throwback to what Richard Stallman said about Microsoft Office.

16:02 schestowitz-TR; 0/

16:02 DaemonFC; He said one of the replies you could give someone is, "I'm confused why you sent me a couple MegaBytes of formatting that I'm having a difficult time dealingwith so that I could read 5 KiloBytes of text.".

16:02 schestowitz-TR; yes, he said he'd want gnu and fsf to have gemtext

16:02 schestowitz-TR; but that never got done

16:04 schestowitz-TR; Techrights-sec:

16:04 schestowitz-TR; can be powered up ans shared with more capacity if and when there is more censorship/suppression

16:04 schestowitz-TR; without having to generate anything new, just throw resources at it and given the table with hashes

16:24 Techrights-sec; checking

16:24 Techrights-sec; ILO and ILOAT acronyms need expansion in the text

16:24 Techrights-sec; like has been done with CSC

16:24 Techrights-sec; it's repetetive from a writing perspective but important for new readers

16:24 Techrights-sec; and casual reader and occasional readers

16:24 schestowitz-TR; draft

16:24 schestowitz-TR; yeah, I noticed that and got lazy as it was tiresome

16:24 schestowitz-TR; I need to put "macros" in my notes somewhere..

16:24 schestowitz-TR; yes, just done this in 3 places

16:43 Techrights-sec; great

17:59 schestowitz-TR; said there's an outage not far from us

17:59 schestowitz-TR; affecting the tram too

17:59 schestowitz-TR; and maybe some shops

17:59 schestowitz-TR; hopefully not the "new normal"

17:59 schestowitz-TR; she also struggled to find any decent discounts

17:59 schestowitz-TR; that too I hope isn't a "new normal"

18:31 Techrights-sec; the new post with the same slug will get a new page

18:31 Techrights-sec;

18:31 schestowitz-TR; in the front page it seems to link to the same page

18:35 Techrights-sec; checking

18:35 Techrights-sec; good find, the feed script needs to be updated

18:37 schestowitz-TR; I was telling the lawyer the other day that multitasking for a human is mostly an illusion that just lowers productivity

18:37 schestowitz-TR; even most machines do not multitask, they do round robin and such

18:37 schestowitz-TR; some parallelise

18:37 schestowitz-TR; but humans have one brain

18:37 schestowitz-TR; I'll get some sleep soon, working 1am
