00:18 schestowitz; I am guessing that error thing, shown for 2 days now, is nothing to worry about, can be treated as 404s until we weed out all edge/corner cases

02:03 *u-amarsh04 has quit (connection closed)

02:11 Techrights-sec; that would be my guess too but better to tidy it up

02:11 Techrights-sec; pushed some changes to Git

02:14 schestowitz; thanks, applied to live

02:14 schestowitz; I think this is a common thing

02:14 schestowitz; e.g. here http://gemini.techrights.org/proxy?url=gemini://gemini.techrights.org/irc/index.gmi

http://gemini.techrights.org/proxy?url=gemini://gemini.techrights.org/irc/index.gmi

02:14 -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-gemini.techrights.org | Gemini Proxy for Techrights

02:14 schestowitz; it links to the articles instead of IRC logs

02:25 Techrights-sec; looking

02:25 Techrights-sec; which script creates gemini://gemini.techrights.org/irc/ ?

gemini://gemini.techrights.org/irc/

02:25 Techrights-sec; that script is producing wrong links

02:25 Techrights-sec; maybe

02:25 Techrights-sec; wait, it is creating relative links and the proxy does not like the relative

02:25 Techrights-sec; links. I'll have to look at that.

02:25 schestowitz-TR; thanks, am trying to clean rss feeds in the meantime; 80 to go...

02:49 Techrights-sec; ok it shoud handle the relative links much better

02:49 Techrights-sec; ^should


3 AM, February 7

03:31 Techrights-sec; thanks

03:31 Techrights-sec; found a bug in conversion of wiki links elsewhere

03:31 Techrights-sec; wondering if it's worth it to retrofit old pages

03:31 Techrights-sec; gemini://gemini.techrights.org/2021/10/03/epo-sunshines/

gemini://gemini.techrights.org/2021/10/03/epo-sunshines/

03:31 Techrights-sec; for an example of the bug

03:32 schestowitz-TR; lots of new code, I see, let's try that deployed...

08:57 schestowitz; <blockquote>

08:57 schestowitz; <p>Linux-based operating systems offer many command-line text processing utilities you can use in your day-to-day routine. The cut command is one such text manipulation utility that uses delimiters, bytes, fields, and columns to fetch a required string from a flat-file database or a line.</p>

08:57 schestowitz; <p>Since a flat-file database does not have a structural relationship and the records are separated with the help of delimiters, cut is an ideal tool to extract characters or bytes of information. This article discusses the cut command in detail and demonstrates some practical examples with different filter options to get you started with the tool.</p></blockquote></li>


9 AM, February 7

09:14 Techrights-sec; some TR pages require redirection, the proxy now handles those pages better

09:14 Techrights-sec; pushed to Git

09:15 Techrights-sec; when you get a chance can you test the above changes?

09:16 schestowitz-TR; ok, I see now, yes... it's about the wiki and more

09:16 schestowitz-TR; should be in live in one minute

09:34 Techrights-sec; thanks

09:34 Techrights-sec; restarting httpd

09:34 schestowitz-TR; I have given gemini access to http/adm/www-date stuff

09:34 schestowitz-TR; *date

09:34 schestowitz-TR; >data

09:40 Techrights-sec; probably better set that for my account than gemini since gemin runs daemons

09:40 Techrights-sec; gemini can be in gemini gpio and i can be in my group + adm www-data and gpio

09:40 Techrights-sec; that way gemini is a bit more contained

09:43 Techrights-sec; Google's bot is in there :(

09:50 Techrights-sec; so is something from M$ :(

09:50 Techrights-sec; A bot filter is needed

09:50 Techrights-sec; thinking ../

09:50 schestowitz-TR; there are some off-the-shelf ones

09:51 schestowitz-TR; you cannot ask them "nicely"


10 AM, February 7

10:32 Techrights-sec; check ~/gemini-proxy for new nginx config

10:34 schestowitz-TR; just gave up on cleaning rss feeds re patents, will catch up with remaining ones

10:34 schestowitz-TR; next weekend

10:34 schestowitz-TR; i will record 2 videos in 30 mins

10:34 schestowitz-TR; i will put the new nginx configs when you say it is ready

10:34 schestowitz-TR; seems you still make some changes

10:34 Techrights-sec; just a sec, ok

10:34 Techrights-sec; I have some deny rules for nginx now

10:40 Techrights-sec; it's an incremental thing

10:40 Techrights-sec; please try the current incarnation

11 AM, February 7

11:05 schestowitz; ok, with Daily Links out the pressure is off for a bit

11:05 schestowitz; I will record in a moment, will do two in a row as it is more efficient (overlap) this way

11:05 schestowitz; monday github article ideas needed

11:06 schestowitz; like openbsd last week

11:06 schestowitz; otherwise I will pace up the github expose

11:06 schestowitz; which I do not wish to rush as there is more info on the way amid court hearings

11:06 schestowitz; one video will mention the gateway, but not promote it

11:08 schestowitz; afaik, we're one of few domains which serve both over gemini and http/s, as in same subdomain listening on 3 ports. maybe at a later stage give a name to your perl stuff and promote it in the official gemini pages along with other such tools

11:56 Techrights-sec; well there are several awful legislative proposals in the US at the moment

11:56 Techrights-sec; you've seen them in the daily links.

11:56 schestowitz-TR; yes, just finished the two videos

11:57 schestowitz-TR; while recording the second I noticed that front page over http does not redirect as before, I guess you changed something in nginx configs but have not cchedked yet

11:57 schestowitz-TR; I also see 47 new lines in gemini-proxy

11:57 schestowitz-TR; should I deploy now?

12:05 Techrights-sec; yes thanks

12:05 Techrights-sec; more in just a sec ... sending to Git ..

12:05 Techrights-sec; ok more bots added

12:10 schestowitz-TR; ok

12:10 schestowitz-TR; that fixed the redirection / > proxy? issue

12:10 schestowitz-TR; also, it works well

12:10 schestowitz-TR; I ehcked the links for irc logs

12:10 schestowitz-TR; that's all fixed now

12:10 schestowitz-TR; my main laptop now processes the epo video

12:10 schestowitz-TR; next, when the processing is done and onlu second phase of upload left, I kick of

12:10 schestowitz-TR; f the second videos's encoding

12:10 schestowitz-TR; to maximiase use of the cpu cores (4)

12:10 Techrights-sec; Great!

12:10 schestowitz-TR; I want to ask,

12:10 schestowitz-TR; given that the news about "patents" is so so noisy

12:10 schestowitz-TR; and it leads to dailos links being full of crap witrh "Ed:" next to them

12:10 schestowitz-TR; should I maybe spend my time differently on Sundays?

12:11 Techrights-sec; Perhaps. Any ideas about other options?

12:11 schestowitz-TR; more articles.

12:14 Techrights-sec; Articles are always good.

12:14 Techrights-sec; Maybe every other week for the RSS slog?

12:14 Techrights-sec; Can we try a robots.txt?

12:15 schestowitz-TR; yes, you can find template ones only, add to git, I'd put it in the right place from ~gemini/bin

12:17 Techrights-sec; adding

12:17 Techrights-sec; pushed

12:17 Techrights-sec; maybe we should have waited a week and figured out how to backport the script

12:17 Techrights-sec; to Apache2

12:18 schestowitz-TR; yes, you can find template ones only, add to git, I'd put it iwhere does robots.txt go in neginx for this setup where root dir is perl script?n the right place from ~gemini/bin

12:19 schestowitz-TR; where does robots.txt go in neginx for this setup where root dir is perl script?

12:25 Techrights-sec; /var/www/html/ is the document root

12:25 Techrights-sec; any favicon would go there as well

12:25 Techrights-sec; chmod 644 robots.txt

12:25 schestowitz-TR; done

12:25 schestowitz-TR; testing

12:26 schestowitz-TR; no, it does not fetch the files from there, 404

12:32 Techrights-sec; checking

12:32 Techrights-sec; LOL there is not document root, just a second

12:32 Techrights-sec; ok pushed to Git

12:32 Techrights-sec; We hadn't needed on previously :/

12:32 schestowitz-TR; in the future it can come in handy for other things

12:32 schestowitz-TR; rianne cannot find raspi 4000 in the uk, availoable atm

12:32 schestowitz-TR; but maybe she will by more usb stricks

12:32 schestowitz-TR; for more pi backps

12:32 schestowitz-TR; the one I bought is 10 opounds for 32gb

12:34 Techrights-sec; they are hard to get there was a site which searched for shops with them

12:34 Techrights-sec; in stock

12:34 Techrights-sec; sounds like a normal price for name brand

16:37 Techrights-sec; Is it a recent version of Agate?

16:37 Techrights-sec; I see the same problems in the small handful of remaining feeds I check from them

16:37 Techrights-sec; Very poor signal to noise ratio with them.

16:37 Techrights-sec; It might be worth making a RSS-based search engine, but much much later.

16:37 -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-@schestowitz@joindiaspora.com: Not sure why... but some Gemini users suggest that their client software isn't compatible with what we use at the server side (Debian 11). And same for http://techrights.org/gemini ("The server sent an empty response" = added to list of exclusions at their end?) before we rolled out our own proxy...

http://techrights.org/gemini

16:37 Techrights-sec; Maybe TLS 1.3 is an issue for broken clients?

16:37 -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell--> techrights.org | Techrights on Gemini | Techrights

16:37 schestowitz-TR; when did we move to another handshake/encryption protocol? that would explain susa also not working as gateway

16:40 Techrights-sec; TLS1.2 has been deprecated for a long while in Gemini but there are some

16:40 Techrights-sec; out of date clients out there.

16:41 schestowitz-TR; back to gulag,

16:41 schestowitz-TR; from a publishing pov,

16:41 schestowitz-TR; i want to know of what value those replies of mine are

16:45 schestowitz-TR; Im think you added that

16:45 schestowitz-TR; while it's good that it killed off the proxy

16:45 schestowitz-TR; as ew e ended up making something better

16:45 schestowitz-TR; some readers like activelow are obstructed by this

16:45 schestowitz-TR; assumuing this was added weeks ago

16:45 schestowitz-TR; maybe give 1.2 a while longer ti settle?

16:46 Techrights-sec; Ok.

16:46 Techrights-sec; Just comment out the line and add another without that one option.

16:48 schestowitz-TR; doing so now

16:48 schestowitz-TR; it looks like you just did it

16:48 schestowitz-TR; I see two lines

16:48 schestowitz-TR; yes, the one in bin

16:51 schestowitz; $ sudo diff /home/gemini/bin/agate.service /etc/systemd/system/agate.service

16:51 schestowitz; 10,11c10

16:51 schestowitz; < # ExecStart=/home/gemini/bin/agate.armv7-unknown-linux-gnueabihf --content /home/gemini/gemini/ --certs /home/gemini/certs/ --hostname gemini.techrights.org --lang en-GB --only-tls13 --log-ip

16:54 -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-Missing content type. Ignoring.

16:54 schestowitz-TR; I aheve also just updated nginx config and restarted nginx

16:54 Techrights-sec; Then systemctl daemon-reload; systemctl restart agate.service;

16:54 Techrights-sec; Only the archived copy, the one in /etc/systemd/system/ is where it counts

16:54 Techrights-sec; Seems to work.

16:54 Techrights-sec; ack

16:59 schestowitz-TR; now onto the github thing

16:59 schestowitz-TR; 5pm, wow

16:59 schestowitz-TR; usually i do this in mornings

16:59 schestowitz-TR; gulag noise is a wasteof time

16:59 schestowitz-TR; i will think laters about priorities


5 PM, February 7

17:00 Techrights-sec; ?

17:00 Techrights-sec; !

17:00 Techrights-sec; yep

17:01 schestowitz-TR; to use an analogy, it is social control media

17:01 schestowitz-TR; it provokes

17:01 schestowitz-TR; it lies

17:01 schestowitz-TR; you want to correct it

17:01 schestowitz-TR; but it's a waste of time

17:01 schestowitz-TR; futile,m exercise in futility

17:01 schestowitz-TR; (it wwas not ALWAYS like this)

17:01 schestowitz-TR; Twitter tyoo was NOT always like this

17:02 Techrights-sec; in the name of 'engagement' not usability or efficiency

17:02 Techrights-sec; Google has changed massively, on several occasions. None of the changes

17:02 Techrights-sec; have been for the better. It starte when they started being infiltrated

17:02 Techrights-sec; by microsofters close to 20 years ago.

17:03 schestowitz-TR; I did do a video on how when you search foir linux you get Miocrosoft shit like "

17:03 schestowitz-TR; Teams"

17:03 schestowitz-TR; and Linux is ALWAYS under some clout of SECURITY OMG!! OIMG! OMG!!

17:03 schestowitz-TR; samba fruit_vfs (apple)... OMG LINUX!!!

17:06 Techrights-sec; ack

17:06 schestowitz-TR; coffeee break

17:06 schestowitz-TR; lotss of thinking this week

17:06 schestowitz-TR; as I am off work till friday

17:06 schestowitz-TR; i need to think of ways to post more articles

17:06 schestowitz-TR; and waste less time linking to lying laywers

17:06 schestowitz-TR; force of habirt is the hard bit

17:06 schestowitz-TR; letting rss feeds go

17:06 schestowitz-TR; it is always hard, but just at first

17:15 Techrights-sec; congratulations on the time off

17:22 schestowitz-TR; I have just taken a look myself

17:22 schestowitz-TR; to better understand the second step and which peripherals etc. they offer

17:22 schestowitz-TR; maybe rianne can order today

17:22 schestowitz-TR; we more or less decided on which screen goes where

17:22 schestowitz-TR; there would be 10 screens in this room

17:22 Techrights-sec; https://shop.pimoroni.com/products/raspberry-pi-400?variant=32280738005075

17:22 -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-shop.pimoroni.com | Raspberry Pi 400 Pimoroni

17:23 schestowitz-TR; it would also be a safety net in case of h/w failure

17:23 schestowitz-TR; we have many spapre routers also

17:23 Techrights-sec; spares are good

17:25 schestowitz; checked wordpress backup size again last night, seemed like it's a cache thing, as it never goes below 1.2gb in size, but I will continue to monitor it for the next few nights, just to ensure no silent db damage. scanning the whole db takes a very long time, causes downtime, I saw no indication of error, just volatile dump sizes

17:31 schestowitz-TR; what doi you think of,

17:31 schestowitz-TR; instead of ordering sd card

17:31 schestowitz-TR; buy without

17:31 schestowitz-TR; insert usb stick

17:31 schestowitz-TR; load the clone of existing pi

17:31 schestowitz-TR; turn off ipfs, gemini etc. (agate

17:31 schestowitz-TR; )

17:31 schestowitz-TR; and then work from there

17:31 schestowitz-TR; later I can make more clones

17:32 Techrights-sec; I'd say keep the clone unplugged. It's only a copy and not a real backup while

17:32 Techrights-sec; it is in use.

17:33 schestowitz-TR; yes, but I was thinking, it's a starting point for here

17:33 schestowitz-TR; than I caan get another one

17:33 schestowitz-TR; and get a newer clone

17:33 schestowitz-TR; with nginx and the rest

17:33 schestowitz-TR; I mean, I'd make another (new) clone on a new device after that

17:35 Techrights-sec; yes the clone can be brought up to date, but then it should be remove and kept

17:35 Techrights-sec; safe offline until needed or the next update is scheduled.

17:35 Techrights-sec; ack

17:41 schestowitz-TR; ok, back from coffee

17:41 schestowitz-TR; so tonight she might buy the thing with a power supply

17:41 schestowitz-TR; we already have your cables, we have a decent screen, and I'll try the USB stick,

17:41 schestowitz-TR; then prepare a new one later (need to buy another stick)

17:42 Techrights-sec; nice

17:48 schestowitz-TR; just checked wire lengths, dimensions etc.

17:48 schestowitz-TR; maybe I will buy 2 usb sticks while in town

17:48 schestowitz-TR; to be able to have backup or backup, these are not expensive

17:48 schestowitz-TR; not as expensive as time to restore a system from scratch

17:48 Techrights-sec; tape or some other means of labeling them is useful too

17:49 schestowitz-TR; i've meanwhile given up on the github series for todsayt

17:49 schestowitz-TR; the aspects I have are not too exciting

17:49 schestowitz-TR; also, some rss feeds about patrents need catching up to

17:49 schestowitz-TR; maybe I'll just 'tasdte' these rss feeds

17:49 schestowitz-TR; rather than swallow thwem all

17:49 schestowitz-TR; which can induce stress like fomo

17:53 Techrights-sec; random samples?

17:54 schestowitz-TR; not random, based on icon (feed type) and title


6 PM, February 7

18:01 schestowitz-TR; tbh, part of me waits for gulag's spotify moment

18:01 schestowitz-TR; at which point the last thing I use from gulag

18:01 schestowitz-TR; namely gulag noise

18:01 schestowitz-TR; I will dump also

18:10 schestowitz-TR; [18:10] <schestowitz-TR> I have just trawleda round the git pages, licence, changes etc.

18:10 schestowitz-TR; [18:10] <schestowitz-TR> they are all linked correctly over the proxy as well

18:11 Techrights-sec; ok

18:11 Techrights-sec; ack

18:11 Techrights-sec; excellent

18:17 Techrights-sec; tips on how to simplify the code are always welcome

18:18 schestowitz-TR; you have his email address, maybe could at some point give limited git access for some parts of the repo

18:19 schestowitz-TR; gulag noise is really really really shit

18:19 schestowitz-TR; I am loooking at this with a fresh pair of eyes

18:19 schestowitz-TR; it's like trying to scroll twitter to gather "news"

18:19 schestowitz-TR; they used to be good 15 years ago

18:20 schestowitz-TR; they also had

18:20 schestowitz-TR; 1) summary of article

18:20 schestowitz-TR; 2) a snipped that highlights what you search fir

18:20 schestowitz-TR; I think they removed the latter because of litigation over fair use

18:20 schestowitz-TR; so now they leave the content or relevant a total mystery

18:28 Techrights-sec; It's really mosly just fake sites these days plus a bit of SEO spam. Maybe

18:28 Techrights-sec; one out of twenty items they show are even relevant, and fewer still are of

18:28 Techrights-sec; use.

18:29 schestowitz-TR; yes, exactly, I could even break mdown the issues

18:29 schestowitz-TR; into several categories

18:29 schestowitz-TR; and mayeb ragequit

18:29 schestowitz-TR; but for tuxmachines we still need s big of that 'service'

18:30 schestowitz-TR; for breadth of sight


7 PM, February 7

19:02 schestowitz-TR; after 4 or 5 failed attempts to make a payment

19:02 schestowitz-TR; i finally managed to checkout in pimoroni

19:02 schestowitz-TR; they said technoloigy would make life easier

19:02 schestowitz-TR; and there >I was entering code and passwords

19:02 schestowitz-TR; and they ask me for mobile,

19:02 schestowitz-TR; which I do not have

19:06 Techrights-sec; :/

19:06 Techrights-sec; I would think that a generic phone number would suffice and even that would be

19:06 Techrights-sec; quite optional.

19:15 Techrights-sec; In the past there has been no need to make an account just to purchase.

19:15 Techrights-sec; It was possible just to checkout and pay without setting one up. I hope that

19:15 Techrights-sec; has not changed.

19:16 schestowitz-TR; purahcing over the telephone would have been a lot quicker

19:16 schestowitz-TR; real telephone

19:16 Techrights-sec; Probably

19:22 schestowitz-TR; so far, in 10 mins, I got just one "interesting" (bad)

19:22 schestowitz-TR; item in gulag noise

19:22 schestowitz-TR; about montenegro

19:22 schestowitz-TR; this is very bad return on time

19:22 schestowitz-TR; wow, 15 mins, 2 items

19:22 schestowitz-TR; last week I think 3

19:22 schestowitz-TR; the week befgore, fore the whjole week, 0 in one week

19:22 schestowitz-TR; so it has been getting worse

19:22 schestowitz-TR; now I'll focus on part 44 of tyhe series

19:22 schestowitz-TR; maybe the rss feeds I'll wipe except actual sites

19:22 schestowitz-TR; although they too, e.f. JUVE, became spam

19:22 schestowitz-TR; mr. x moves from firm y to z

19:22 schestowitz-TR; celebrate readers!!

19:23 Techrights-sec; There can be weeks between relevant records there in Google News searchs.

19:25 schestowitz-TR; you would thinking the SUING machines have rendered actual journalism

19:25 schestowitz-TR; on the subject of patents or "IP" domain

19:25 schestowitz-TR; make journalist like SEWING machines

19:25 schestowitz-TR; nobody does it

19:25 schestowitz-TR; forgotten skill

19:25 schestowitz-TR; no funding

19:25 schestowitz-TR; made in sweatshop for prioce lower than in china

19:25 schestowitz-TR; now they do presss releases as 'articles'
