06:34 Techrights-sec; see /usr/local/bin/tm-extract-posts-sql.pl.new on tm-new

06:34 Techrights-sec; it is nearly a complete re-write of the script and is hopefully much more

06:34 Techrights-sec; efficient; unfortunately David A Wheeler's sloccount shows that it is only

06:34 Techrights-sec; about 30 lines shorter

06:34 Techrights-sec; Running it with no options will create / update *new* or *updated* gemtext

06:34 Techrights-sec; and xhtml files. Running it multiple times will produce no output until

06:34 Techrights-sec; a record is updated, unless the -f option is used. See the -h option.

06:34 Techrights-sec; No -d option means the date defaults to the current date.

06:35 schestowitz-TR2; OK I assume you made a DB backup and now I can run this new script to make new pages

07:32 *DaemonFC has quit (Quit: ChatZilla 0.13 [SeaMonkey 2.53.13/20220708150114])

07:34 Techrights-sec; I've tested it on this end but it would need testing in actual use.

07:35 schestowitz-TR2; I ran it twice, expecting it to ask for something

07:35 schestowitz-TR2; but it just came back doing nothing

07:35 schestowitz-TR2; which I suppose is what I should expect?

07:42 schestowitz-TR2; (last day for rianne to practice; in mock exams she averages around 92%)


8 AM, September 7

08:10 Techrights-sec; Did it update the XHTML and GemText files?

08:10 Techrights-sec; If you add -v it will make more noise.

08:10 Techrights-sec; Perhaps it should mention by default how many files were written.

08:10 Techrights-sec; When running it twice, the second time there will be no activity since t

08:10 Techrights-sec; the files will have already been exported to the file system.

08:10 schestowitz-TR2; it runs for about 1.5 seconds and says nothing

08:10 schestowitz-TR2; gets back to terminal

08:10 schestowitz-TR2; draft (being a thorn on Microsoft's side again ;-) )

08:12 Techrights-sec; Even with -f and -v? You've run it once so there will be no action take

08:12 Techrights-sec; on subsequent runs without the -f option

08:16 schestowitz-TR2; I've only run it very prudentl;y for fear (over the DB) and for geenral assurance nothing is done 'wrong'

08:16 schestowitz-TR2; as I don't really understand the underlying system

08:16 schestowitz-TR2; I can envision that in winter we can use the same in Techrights for more rapid posting

08:16 schestowitz-TR2; (the more 'opinionated' stuff)

08:16 schestowitz-TR2; my guess was, as the number of records grows (maybe 3k by now) it needs more time for queries to complete, e.g. give me all records for day x and day x-1

08:21 *starstreak has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s)

08:27 schestowitz-TR2; posted the thing about asia

08:27 schestowitz-TR2; will revisit next month

08:27 schestowitz-TR2; I think asia will soon be orange except tw, jp, and ru

08:27 schestowitz-TR2; going to annotate with markers the ubuntu screenshots, thank you!

08:39 Techrights-sec; The script also does some better interlinking between posts, most of that

08:39 Techrights-sec; is inside the script itself. So it runs faster and more efficiently. The

08:39 Techrights-sec; other part is with the linking inside the XHTML head.

08:40 schestowitz-TR2; draft (ubuntu)

08:40 schestowitz-TR2; let me know what commands to run as user 'roy

08:40 schestowitz-TR2; so as to not put anything at risk

08:40 schestowitz-TR2; I will soon do another manual backup and later make a script for it

08:40 schestowitz-TR2; after scripting it, maybe cron job

08:44 Techrights-sec; The risk shouls be minimal, since it is intended to replace the old script.

08:44 Techrights-sec; Try

08:44 Techrights-sec; tm-extract-posts-sql.pl -v

08:44 Techrights-sec; or

08:44 Techrights-sec; tm-extract-posts-sql.pl -v -f

08:44 Techrights-sec; tm-extract-posts-sql.pl -v -v

08:45 Techrights-sec; tm-extract-posts-sql.pl -h

08:47 Techrights-sec; with .new at the end?

08:47 schestowitz-TR2; with .new at the end?

08:47 Techrights-sec; not any more. The old one is still there as .old

08:50 schestowitz-TR2; I see now, that's a lot faster

08:50 schestowitz-TR2; and does nothing unless rewrites are needed

08:50 schestowitz-TR2; I assume "-v -v" is a typo

08:50 schestowitz-TR2; did not run that one

08:50 Techrights-sec; No, -v is for debugging and -v, -v -v, and -v -v -v having increasing levels

08:53 schestowitz-TR2; ok, I've run all 4

08:54 schestowitz-TR2; and it does not complain about anything

08:54 schestowitz-TR2; I assume that any time I now add or modify an existing page it'll use this in the background, via the bahs wrapper

08:54 schestowitz-TR2; btw, rianne will be mostly mia except few things inc. android leftovers

08:54 schestowitz-TR2; she wants to ace the exam and has a day left now

08:54 schestowitz-TR2; she and I are rather amazed at how old the new PM looks

08:54 schestowitz-TR2; through she was born 2 years apart from rianne

08:54 schestowitz-TR2; liz warren is like 30 years older and you can compare

08:54 Techrights-sec; Good luck on the exams

08:58 schestowitz; USAGE:

08:58 schestowitz; /usr/local/bin/tm-extract-posts-sql.pl [-ahfsuv] [-d date] [-g path] [-x path]

08:58 schestowitz; -a, --all extract all records regardless of other settings

08:58 schestowitz; -d, --date date as YYYYMMDD, defaults to today if missing

08:58 schestowitz; -f, --force force all files, written or unwritten

08:58 schestowitz; -g, --gemini override default destination path for GemText

08:58 schestowitz; -s, --since also include all posts since the given date

08:58 schestowitz; -u, --unwritten extract all unwritten records

08:58 schestowitz; -x, --xhtml override default destination path for XHTML

08:58 schestowitz; -v, --verbose show debugging info

08:58 schestowitz; -h, --help show this message

08:58 schestowitz; By default, only records which have not been extracted yet

08:58 schestowitz; will be written. This can be overriden with the -f option.

08:58 schestowitz; The -g and -x options can each be used to point to other paths

08:58 schestowitz; and override the defaults:

08:58 schestowitz; GemText path:

08:58 schestowitz; /home/gemini/gemini/n

08:58 schestowitz; XHTML path:

08:58 schestowitz; /var/www/tuxmacihines.org/htdocs/n

08:58 schestowitz; The -a and the -u option are mutually exclusive and -a takes

08:58 schestowitz; precedence.

09:02 schestowitz-TR2; the ssi part now links to a page that does not exist, "Not found"

09:02 schestowitz-TR2; the breadcrump trail (well, not really breadcrumb, more like horizontal navigation) does not link to the new page that does not exist

09:02 schestowitz-TR2; but the ssi/footer does

09:02 schestowitz-TR2; the rss feed does not seem to link to it either

09:02 schestowitz-TR2; just gathering some debug info

09:02 Techrights-sec; ack

09:02 Techrights-sec; checking

09:02 Techrights-sec; Which SSI part?

09:02 Techrights-sec; I see now "Other Recent Tux Machines' Posts"

09:03 Techrights-sec; thanks

09:10 Techrights-sec; The -a option works, though takes a long time.

09:10 Techrights-sec; Can you try add-and-refresh-from-db.sh ?

09:15 schestowitz; see gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2022/09/04/RIP_Peter_Eckersley.gmi

↺ gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2022/09/04/RIP_Peter_Eckersley.gmi

09:15 schestowitz; there is a link to the image

09:15 schestowitz; but maybe with softlinks we can make these possible to serve over gemini:// ?

09:16 schestowitz; in largrange is gives option to expand to show the image

09:16 schestowitz; but it is relative, not absolute, and over http/s

09:17 Techrights-sec; Yes, the -a option worked, but the add-and-refresh-from-db.sh needs double-

09:17 Techrights-sec; checking atm. I think I have tracked down all the loose ends.

09:17 Techrights-sec; Can the Gemini server handle symlinks ?

09:18 schestowitz-TR2; maybe that depends on which server

09:18 schestowitz-TR2; but surely making copies of all the images just for ~gemini would make no practical sense

09:18 Techrights-sec; Gemini's not really designed for images though.

09:18 Techrights-sec; I would think that the click-through rate for the images would be microscopically low and not worth the disk space.

09:20 schestowitz-TR2; I agree, so maybe the url can be converted to absolute in gemini:// / .gmi

09:20 schestowitz-TR2; so that if it's clicked on the image opened in an external program (e.g. browser, gimp..)

09:20 Techrights-sec; That would be possible by retaining the HTTP/HTTPS scheme at the start of the

09:20 Techrights-sec; URL

09:24 schestowitz-TR2; I just stumbled upon it by serendipity, seeing that some recent pages, where images are also links,

09:24 schestowitz-TR2; show up before the text

09:24 schestowitz-TR2; in lagrange this enables stuff like feature images in articles

09:24 schestowitz-TR2; most other clients I know of (except 2) do not have build-in image support

09:24 schestowitz-TR2; but there is nothing inherently against image objects in gemini

09:24 schestowitz-TR2; many people host their photo album and art in gemini

09:24 Techrights-sec; ack

09:24 schestowitz-TR2; lupa also indexes them and lists them as a file type in geminispace

09:24 schestowitz-TR2; kristall has rudimentary build-in support for http/s, so linking to images over http/s would enable clicking to view images from within kristall

09:24 schestowitz-TR2; *build-in

09:24 schestowitz-TR2; -> built-in

09:25 schestowitz; I wonder,

09:25 schestowitz; gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/i/2022/09/logo.png

↺ gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/i/2022/09/logo.png

09:25 schestowitz; that's what one link looks like atm

09:25 schestowitz; if ~/gemini/gemini/i was created

09:26 schestowitz; and was set to be like a virtual structure linking to the www side, it might work

09:29 Techrights-sec; The more scraping which is done the more brittle the whole thing becomes.

09:29 Techrights-sec; The IMG elements are manually generated.

09:29 Techrights-sec; ~/gemini/gemini/i could by a symlink to the HTML side, but it would be better

09:29 Techrights-sec; to just turn the src attribute into an absolute URL for the image over on

09:29 Techrights-sec; the HTTP(S) server. That would be the least complexity and IMO the most in

09:29 Techrights-sec; line with the Gemini way of doing things.

09:29 Techrights-sec; Gemini is not suited for large files, and even the smallest images are

09:29 Techrights-sec; gigantic.

09:30 schestowitz-TR2; yes, makes sense

09:30 schestowitz-TR2; if done this way, I can do a video demo later of how kristall and lagrance handle the images in tuxmachines

09:30 schestowitz-TR2; and maybe explain that in theory they could be served over gemini:// albeit impractical

09:31 Techrights-sec; An image is a separate document in Gemini. There are no provisions for inline

09:31 Techrights-sec; images or anyting other than the body text and a very small number of structures

09:32 schestowitz-TR2; that is a client-level feature

09:32 schestowitz-TR2; left for the client to decide

09:32 schestowitz-TR2; with some settings

09:32 schestowitz-TR2; in lagrrance the image is rendered only ig you scroll, hit space bar, or arrow keys, by default

09:32 schestowitz-TR2; bbl exercise

09:33 Techrights-sec; As far as I can tell it is a design feature of the protocol. The image will

09:33 Techrights-sec; always be an external document distinct from the body.

09:42 Techrights-sec; ack


10 AM, September 7

10:25 schestowitz-TR2; arindam has just added a page

10:25 schestowitz-TR2; it was updated OK in rss and html, have not checked gmi yet

10:25 schestowitz-TR2; but I assume that too will be OK

10:25 schestowitz-TR2; I will soon add some pages, take note of duration of process

10:25 Techrights-sec; ack

10:25 Techrights-sec; checking

10:34 schestowitz-TR2; rianne just got her certificate

10:34 schestowitz-TR2; arindam posted a second new page OK

10:34 schestowitz-TR2; having enrolled him as a user with limit to two commands, we can replicate the same for any future users

10:34 schestowitz-TR2; but we need to be 'conservative' in who we give access too not for sec reasons but editorial/QA reasons

10:34 schestowitz-TR2; due to past experiences

10:34 schestowitz-TR2; like vetting

10:34 schestowitz-TR2; there were people I gave drupal access to, which I later regretted

10:34 schestowitz-TR2; because they posted junk

10:34 schestowitz-TR2; and I didn't want to get in the way like editorial censor

10:34 schestowitz-TR2; so left in tact some shitty things

10:34 schestowitz-TR2; sometimes just cautioned about future additions, e.g. "please in the future, no WSL"

10:47 Techrights-sec; Yes, spam is to be avoided.

10:48 schestowitz-TR2; the rationale was,.

10:48 schestowitz-TR2; WSL is Windows

10:48 schestowitz-TR2; Windows is against Linux

10:48 schestowitz-TR2; We don't do Windows

10:48 schestowitz-TR2; WSL is a misnomer, too

10:48 Techrights-sec; Yes WSL /is/ WIndows and further it is strategic in heading off GNU/Linux

10:48 Techrights-sec; installations.

10:48 Techrights-sec; It should be LSW, based on how it works.

10:48 Techrights-sec; (or fails to work)

10:51 schestowitz-TR2; it'll die in a year or few years

10:51 schestowitz-TR2; based on lack of visibility

10:51 schestowitz-TR2; ryan says amazon just laid off 100,000 workers

10:51 schestowitz-TR2; but could not yield any reference for that

10:51 schestowitz-TR2; msft is laying off 10%, i.e. about 18k

10:51 schestowitz-TR2; in "startegic" units

10:51 schestowitz-TR2; maybe wsl already got the cull, quietly

10:51 schestowitz-TR2; the tumour must now spread and metastasise through those that have momentum

10:51 schestowitz-TR2; e.g. former Canonical

10:51 schestowitz-TR2; former Red Hat

10:55 schestowitz-TR2; ---

10:55 schestowitz-TR2; ryan is full of shit sometimes and I think his environment and the media is to blame

10:55 schestowitz-TR2; like, theyu incite him agaionst "greeedy" and "lazy" teachers

10:55 schestowitz-TR2; he is missing the point

10:55 schestowitz-TR2; my aunt was a teacher in FL and complained about how parents would contact her ourt of hours

10:55 schestowitz-TR2; and she had to work up exams out of working outs

10:55 schestowitz-TR2; all for a meager salary

10:55 schestowitz-TR2; this ios the sort of press that I saw yestewrday when I looked for "more" 'news'...

10:55 schestowitz-TR2; at least ryan used two other channels yesterday, for more off-topic stuff


11 AM, September 7

11:00 Techrights-sec; The Reagan administration slashed education by 40% if I recall correctly,

11:00 Techrights-sec; it has been whittled down every year since. Then certain parts (all) of the

11:00 Techrights-sec; media has agitated against the teachers ever since. The US is crossing a

11:01 Techrights-sec; tipping point. There have been two full generations of people without access

11:01 Techrights-sec; to basic education. A third is on the way. No 1st world nation can survive

11:01 Techrights-sec; that level of pervasive, militant ignornance.

11:01 Techrights-sec; Anyway, soon pushing changes to the work flow to convert images to bare

11:01 Techrights-sec; links labeled by their ALT or TITLE attributes. In gemini, that is.

11:01 Techrights-sec; s/ignornance/ignorance/

11:03 schestowitz-TR2; this way more might vote for insurreection, support gun mania etc.

11:03 schestowitz-TR2; regarding gemini, should we manually add title/alt? alt is blank by default, maybe it can copy the base filename (prior to dot)

11:03 schestowitz-TR2; GOP: if we win, we win, owing to ignorant masses. If we lose, bear arms! "Own the libs" by taking on the Capitol.

11:25 Techrights-sec; yes

11:25 Techrights-sec; That requiring ALT is necessary both for accessibility but also for the

11:27 Techrights-sec; The manual activity trips up because of umask. Not sure what to fix it with.

11:28 schestowitz-TR2; I thought it was a symptom of a bigger issue

11:28 schestowitz-TR2; also, for marius, rianne and arindam it can be intimidating to see this when adding the next 50 odd posts

11:29 schestowitz-TR2; and then ask questions

11:31 Techrights-sec; The validation is necessary though. Perhaps the warning can be made

11:31 Techrights-sec; more appealing somehow?

11:34 schestowitz-TR2; I was referring to the permission issue associated with read-only for group owned by TM account

11:34 schestowitz-TR2; and how often it would repeat thereafter if left unaltered

11:34 schestowitz-TR2; the ALT-related warning is very clear

11:34 schestowitz-TR2; and maybe best tackled by giving a prompt for some text, with intiiaial default value being the name of the file

1 PM, September 7

13:10 schestowitz-TR2; just experienced non-fatal editing conflict

13:10 schestowitz-TR2; as before

13:10 schestowitz-TR2; nothing went bad

13:10 schestowitz-TR2; I was editing at the same time as rianne

13:10 schestowitz-TR2; what happens then it,

13:10 schestowitz-TR2; one side, when posting gets alerted and the other put on hold in the interim

13:10 schestowitz-TR2; it's only mindboggling when one did not experience it before

13:10 schestowitz-TR2; yes, it's all fine at the end

13:10 schestowitz-TR2; but one side is shown an error when it generates something

13:10 schestowitz-TR2; though it seems like either a false alarm or something that settles itself when the editor put "on hold" is done finalising the record addition

13:10 Techrights-sec; Ol, but it resolves automatically, after a bit right?

13:10 Techrights-sec; Great.

13:10 Techrights-sec; I'm pretty sure that kind of thing is a limitation of sqlite. PostgreSQL

13:10 Techrights-sec; can handle concurrent users better but is *way* heavier.

13:14 schestowitz-TR2; static page generator does not need postgres or mariadb

13:14 schestowitz-TR2; because very few people ever access the db

13:14 schestowitz-TR2; and the db itself is critical only in the data integrity sense

13:14 schestowitz-TR2; in TM (soon TR) person A adds one row to one table (unless there are foreign keys etc)

13:14 schestowitz-TR2; db is then queried

13:14 schestowitz-TR2; done until a new row gets added

13:14 schestowitz-TR2; so write operations per day are few

13:14 schestowitz-TR2; and read operations less than 99% of the day

13:14 schestowitz-TR2; in drupal every page access is a write, e.g. for logs/stats

13:14 schestowitz-TR2; which makes the system more brittle

13:14 Techrights-sec; Yes

13:14 Techrights-sec; Probably someone skilled with SQLite3 could refine the interaction and locking

13:14 Techrights-sec; better so that it goes more smoothly.

13:18 schestowitz-TR2; we pay a high price for complexity in June when the DB was starting to bite itself off

13:18 schestowitz-TR2; and lost thousands of records, sort of glued them back together after many were lost

13:18 schestowitz-TR2; that's why I rolled back

13:18 schestowitz-TR2; only after meticullously making static page for each new record added since

13:18 schestowitz-TR2; it took a ton of time, energy, sleepless nights (not literally)

13:18 schestowitz-TR2; when I studied CS (2000) they gave us a homedir

13:18 schestowitz-TR2; over NFS

13:18 schestowitz-TR2; that had public_html

13:18 schestowitz-TR2; so cs.man.ac.uk (dead domain) ~username had your homepage in it

13:18 schestowitz-TR2; cgi, html, etc.

13:18 schestowitz-TR2; no databases

13:21 Techrights-sec;

13:21 Techrights-sec; The static nature reduces the load a lot, so it could run fine even if it had

13:21 Techrights-sec; stayed on the RPi.

13:23 schestowitz-TR2; drupal and wordpress do not have a real dir structure, it's considered virtual and it's embedded in software or config files, e.g. for apache

13:23 schestowitz-TR2; in the past you literally had to change apache configs for those

13:23 schestowitz-TR2; with no simple conversion from virtual to direct/physical

13:23 schestowitz-TR2; with some of the heavy DBs I don't even know how good a conversion one gets

13:23 schestowitz-TR2; e.g. CSV

13:23 schestowitz-TR2; as opposed to a long series of sql statements

13:23 schestowitz-TR2; creatd table...

13:23 schestowitz-TR2; add...

13:23 schestowitz-TR2; which is how you load the pertinent data into "the blob"

13:24 schestowitz-TR2; ----

13:24 schestowitz-TR2; when I studied CS PCs had one processor core

13:24 schestowitz-TR2; not 96 cores at 3GHz

13:24 schestowitz-TR2; browsers rendered descriptions of pages, sometimes gzip'ed to help with bandwidth

13:24 schestowitz-TR2; text compresses well

13:24 schestowitz-TR2; esp. if single language and many of the same elements,e g <p>

13:24 Techrights-sec; Yes, back then computing environments were much more advanced yet simpler.

13:24 Techrights-sec; HTTP is useless as an API because it is, at its foundation, stateless.

13:24 Techrights-sec; Any semblance of sessions is a kludge at best.

13:24 Techrights-sec; In the middle 1990's servers ran fine with Megabytes of RAM, measured in

13:24 Techrights-sec; single digits.

13:27 u-amarsh04; may middle 1980's, the VAX 8600 I used in 1986 already had 16 Megabytes of RAM

13:28 schestowitz-TR2; we've moved from ssedans to SUVs

13:28 schestowitz-TR2; and sometimes the driver is the sole person on the road

13:28 schestowitz-TR2; we need to get that old car back

13:28 schestowitz-TR2; not smart

13:28 schestowitz-TR2; not SUV

13:28 schestowitz-TR2; just a means of tranportation

13:28 schestowitz-TR2; gemini is not the only technical counterculture

13:28 schestowitz-TR2; gnunet had a new release

13:28 schestowitz-TR2; but last I checked it was still sonky

13:28 schestowitz-TR2; *sonky

13:28 schestowitz-TR2; >wonky

13:28 schestowitz-TR2; it is also connected to gnu taler, which isn't some pile of steaming shit burning off fossil fuel/coal-generated currnt for "valuable" 0s and 1s

13:28 schestowitz-TR2; u-amarsh04: my first PC was 4 colours

13:29 u-amarsh04; I ran monochrome for several years

13:29 schestowitz-TR2; before I had my own PC the friends' PCs were monoccrome

13:29 schestowitz-TR2; CGA came later

13:29 schestowitz-TR2; then EGA and VGA

13:29 schestowitz-TR2; iirc, EGA was 8 colours

13:30 schestowitz-TR2; the CGA monitors had a green-only mode at the back

13:30 schestowitz-TR2; the PC itself had "turbo" mode

13:30 schestowitz-TR2; somehow all this was enough to keep us entertained and occupied

14:13 schestowitz-TR2; yesterday rianne and I spokem in the kitchen about the effect of inflation in our household

14:13 schestowitz-TR2; thinking aloud

14:13 schestowitz-TR2; turns out, we pay more or less the same fod food by 'cheating' the "system" with bargain hunting

14:14 schestowitz-TR2; and energy bills probably rose by no more than 20% this past year

14:14 schestowitz-TR2; maybe more, but it seems def. not more than 30%

14:14 schestowitz-TR2; many of the other expenses are all the same

14:14 schestowitz-TR2; so to us, given these circumstance, the relative inflation is like a negligible 50 pounds a month, maybe less

14:14 schestowitz-TR2; my dad is the same, he does not drive much and avoids "brands"

14:14 schestowitz-TR2; lots of articles today about truss/trump, with too much (imho) focus on energy prices

14:14 schestowitz-TR2; when the issues are a lot more profound than that

16:51 Techrights-sec; Should the navigation menu in tm-new have a hyperlink to the latest post?

16:51 Techrights-sec; On the one hand, it'd be one more thing to break and would take navigation.html

16:51 Techrights-sec; out of Git. On the other hand, it could be generated as part of the update process.

16:54 schestowitz-TR2; good thing you brought that up

16:54 schestowitz-TR2; earlier today rianne said she could barely find her new page

16:54 schestowitz-TR2; as it was further down the list

16:54 schestowitz-TR2; I said it's roganised by more complex criteria

16:54 schestowitz-TR2; like number of updates, a surrogate for importance

16:54 schestowitz-TR2; the latest story has no meaning

16:54 schestowitz-TR2; as it's not chronological in the news sense

16:54 schestowitz-TR2; just the posting sense

16:54 schestowitz-TR2; so other sorting criteria or clustering might help

16:54 schestowitz-TR2; in www.tuxmachines.org I set apart latest and updated but a better

16:54 schestowitz-TR2; criteria might sort them roughly into categories

16:54 schestowitz-TR2; e.g. today's leftovers

16:54 schestowitz-TR2; howtos

16:54 schestowitz-TR2; and cluster them in the front page, maybe even ssi

16:54 schestowitz-TR2; ssi

16:55 Techrights-sec; The sorting is currently handled in SQL and not so much in Perl.

16:57 schestowitz-TR2; a few sieves (e.g. through titles) can help toss them into buckets

16:57 schestowitz-TR2; and then present a more clustered view based on patterns

16:57 schestowitz-TR2; without us having to enter tags or select categories

16:57 schestowitz-TR2; I thought about doing that in www.tm as I had already scanned for the word "UPDATED" (case sensitive, too)

16:57 schestowitz-TR2; the headline style has been consistent since susan ran it

16:57 schestowitz-TR2; so there is room for grouping stuff and not computionally-expensive, least of the factor being the one-off nature of static page generators

16:58 Techrights-sec; The updated records float to the top as it stands now.


5 PM, September 7

17:01 schestowitz-TR2; time alone (or last updated) is a criterion that mnight not help organise the brain

17:01 schestowitz-TR2; I've long comp[lained that social control media was a sea/ocean of unrelated bullshiot

17:01 schestowitz-TR2; and the mind could not focus on a flow like literature...

17:01 schestowitz-TR2; one moment trump, then this other thing, then trump again, then a friend's photo...

17:01 schestowitz-TR2; in the case of GNU/Linux we had people who subscribe over rss to just on categroy or a set of categories of choice

17:01 schestowitz-TR2; but that is not the same thing

17:01 schestowitz-TR2; nor are the linux "homepages" that clsuetrr based on sources

17:01 schestowitz-TR2; rather than cluster based on themes, stories etc.

17:01 schestowitz-TR2; gulag noise USED to try to cluster relted stories

17:01 schestowitz-TR2; now it's optimised not to actually help the user!

17:03 schestowitz-TR2; case of poiint, some people LOOOOOVE howtos

17:03 schestowitz-TR2; they're HUNGRERY for them

17:03 schestowitz-TR2; and they say they are hungry for them

17:03 schestowitz-TR2; because they try to learn

17:03 schestowitz-TR2; and practice

17:03 schestowitz-TR2; and read up

17:03 schestowitz-TR2; and tinker

17:03 schestowitz-TR2; but people like me just mostly shelve them

17:03 schestowitz-TR2; OTOH, some people use Android, and more people over time, so to them a bunch of Android news can help

17:04 schestowitz-TR2; it is, after all, based on Linux

17:04 schestowitz-TR2; clustering let's people either focus or ignore something

17:04 schestowitz-TR2; "this shit isn't for me"

17:04 schestowitz-TR2; "oh, I LOVE this distro!"

17:05 schestowitz-TR2; it would probably be computationally cheap to split up the "more posts from TM" into 2-3 divs, with a crude automated attempt to classift them a bit

19:12 schestowitz-TR2; or email

19:12 schestowitz-TR2; where you can discuss the issues across capsules

19:12 schestowitz-TR2; seemed somewhat unnecessary

19:12 schestowitz-TR2; but many are accustomed to mailing lists

19:12 schestowitz-TR2; they can be a lot of work to keep abrease of

19:12 schestowitz-TR2; and a lot of b/w wasted due to how it handles threading

19:14 Techrights-sec; Anyway, in Gemini there is no such thing as inline graphics, so it would

19:14 Techrights-sec; be unwise to promote the false idea.

19:14 Techrights-sec; Almost, there were still a lot of uses for it, but if the purpose was to

19:14 Techrights-sec; define or polish the specification then, yes, it was done.

19:14 schestowitz-TR2; discussing the spcs can be done using bugzilla or other such tools

19:18 schestowitz-TR2; chats and email lists feel different

19:18 schestowitz-TR2; but like bosses who sell to us "productivity" (when all they seek is spying on "the people I own")

19:18 schestowitz-TR2; the purpose of these isn't to enhance productivity

19:18 schestowitz-TR2; I nthink you youirself (or a feed from your opml)

19:18 schestowitz-TR2; mentioned how it was time to give up on self-hosting email

19:18 schestowitz-TR2; because the "oligarchy" or "oligopoly" won

19:18 schestowitz-TR2; now they expect you to register with gulag or gatesEpsteinMail to get through to recipient

19:30 Techrights-sec; There was another article about giving up self-hosting.

19:30 Techrights-sec; (e-mail that is)

19:30 Techrights-sec; Self-hosting in general is getting harder and it seems that things are lining

19:30 Techrights-sec; up to prevent it in any form during the coming decade or so, unless the

19:30 Techrights-sec; direction we are heading changes.

19:31 schestowitz-TR2; but was self-hosting from home common at all in the dial-up era? I think not.

19:31 schestowitz-TR2; in some senses, we've made advances

19:38 *Mio14 has quit (Ping timeout: 120 seconds)

19:40 Techrights-sec; It was not really feasible during the dialup era. Though for a large fee

19:40 Techrights-sec; one could get a dedicated data line.

19:40 Techrights-sec; In contrast, today from an infrastructural perspecitive it is trivial to host

19:40 Techrights-sec; at home. The main risk is overprovisioning. There is a lot to gain from

19:40 Techrights-sec; economy of scale at data centers, but that comes at the loss of control and

19:40 Techrights-sec; privacy. Around 20+ years ago, most major companies refused to use online

19:40 Techrights-sec; databases because they were concerned about how much competitive advantage

19:40 Techrights-sec; they would lose by leaking all their activities to external observers.

19:41 schestowitz-TR2; I think we need to rock the boat and bit

19:41 schestowitz-TR2; and urge others to do the same

19:41 schestowitz-TR2; for self-hosting to be "a thing"

19:41 schestowitz-TR2; then, there will be too many shouting "plebs"

19:41 schestowitz-TR2; to outright ban the practice

19:41 schestowitz-TR2; same for:

19:41 schestowitz-TR2; ejection is 'self [sic] service' [sic] checkouts

19:43 Techrights-sec; Agreed. Though it is getting harder with the two remaining major browsers

19:43 Techrights-sec; under control of the same company. A company so hostile to self-hosting

19:43 Techrights-sec; that it gives grief to self-signed certificates while allowing all manner

19:43 Techrights-sec; of dodgy CAs to be represented in each browser. Further, other projects

19:43 Techrights-sec; like wget and paho don't deal with self-signed (self-vouched for) certificates

19:43 Techrights-sec; or even popular stuff like Let's Encrypt.

19:48 Techrights-sec; The option with wget is to /ignore/ the certificates. That's not a feasible

19:48 Techrights-sec; solution for either self-vouched for certificates or certificates which

19:48 Techrights-sec; have been vouched for by Let's Encrypt.

19:48 Techrights-sec; Those leaks were quickly brushed under the rug and the highlighted transgressions normalized.

19:48 Techrights-sec; The point of SSL everywhere is not privacy, something which is obviated

19:48 Techrights-sec; by the CA list. The point of SSL everywhere is to ban sites which have

19:48 Techrights-sec; not been subjugated to an 'authorized' business or organization's CA.

19:48 Techrights-sec; Again, it's about control. And censorship.

19:48 Techrights-sec; And turning the Internet, but first the Web, read-only.

19:51 schestowitz-TR2; as you say, and you tell me nothing I didn't think of already ( :) ), we're just waiting for some events to validate these concerns

19:51 schestowitz-TR2; like Lenovo with Windows-only laptops

19:51 schestowitz-TR2; either way, yes, it is about control and the more people resist, the better

19:51 schestowitz-TR2; EFF and FSF won't do a thing sadly

19:51 schestowitz-TR2; or barely a thing

19:51 schestowitz-TR2; FSF even outsourced IRC to some lousy gits

19:51 schestowitz-TR2; I didn't likie freenode even before the scandals

19:51 schestowitz-TR2; but it was a network effect thing

19:51 schestowitz-TR2; there was only one major network

19:51 schestowitz-TR2; to the point where freenode was implicit when you mentioned irc

19:51 schestowitz-TR2; except maybe in non-techj context or games

19:54 schestowitz-TR2; -----

19:54 schestowitz-TR2; of note: wikileaks configured its own irc network, but some pedo (siggi, iceland) was controlled by fbi to spy on that network

19:54 schestowitz-TR2; maybe also direct messages between people on that network

19:54 schestowitz-TR2; not sure if his perversion was used for enhanced blackmail

19:54 schestowitz-TR2; they put him behind bars eventually, regardless...

19:54 schestowitz-TR2; some others died, like @6 in twitter.... lamo

19:54 schestowitz-TR2; ardian

19:54 schestowitz-TR2; adrian

19:54 schestowitz-TR2; I spoke to him a few times

19:54 schestowitz-TR2; not a pleasnat person

19:54 schestowitz-TR2; a snake

19:55 Techrights-sec; Meanwhile, 'chat control' is wending its way through the EU bureaucracy.

19:55 Techrights-sec; EFF and FSF are quiet on that topic too.

19:55 Techrights-sec; Freenode was abused to centralize IRC. Several powerful interests dislike

19:55 Techrights-sec; and/or are disturbed by decentralized services and appear to fight them by

19:55 Techrights-sec; various means.

19:55 Techrights-sec; Or if that was a means to control him and steer him to enter the organization

19:55 Techrights-sec; on their behalf?

19:55 Techrights-sec; Like m$ used M$ Peter and probably held threats over him to get him into

19:55 Techrights-sec; somewhere, anywhere, and writing to further their agenda.

19:57 schestowitz-TR2; we can only ever speculate about that

19:57 schestowitz-TR2; i'll get back to posting links in TM noiw

19:57 schestowitz-TR2; rianne is doing more practice

19:57 schestowitz-TR2; and we'll see the attorney on friday to finalise things

19:57 schestowitz-TR2; for this exa they give the result on the spot

19:57 schestowitz-TR2; she will get easy pass

19:57 Techrights-sec; Speculate but there seem to have been lots of circumstantial material,

19:57 Techrights-sec; especially retrospectively, pointing to that conclusion.

19:57 Techrights-sec; ack

19:59 schestowitz-TR2; circumstantial material -> trolled in socail control media

19:59 schestowitz-TR2; police files -> trolls silent in social control media, look for other targets

19:59 schestowitz-TR2; 'softer' targets


8 PM, September 7

20:16 schestowitz-TR2; of note but unimportant:

20:16 schestowitz-TR2; a) takes about a quarter the time it did before to add a new TM page

20:16 schestowitz-TR2; b) I've just added a gif file, it took over a minute to convert that animated gif

20:16 schestowitz-TR2; c) server has 32 cpu cores, iirc (top, press 1)

20:16 schestowitz-TR2; d) rianne will be back to posting as normal this weekend

20:20 Techrights-sec; ack

20:27 Techrights-sec; b) which script?

20:27 schestowitz-TR2; thwe test uploader

20:27 schestowitz-TR2; I've just checked resultant file sizes
