08:50 Techrights-sec; router maintenance ; approx 30 min
08:50 Techrights-sec; maintenance comaintenance completemplete
08:50 Techrights-sec; back in a few hours
08:50 schestowitz-TR; I am loooking at the code atm
08:50 schestowitz-TR; I sent you the gmi files, they seem sane to me
08:50 schestowitz-TR; I think if I send those 4 additional files to the same dir, it can cause issues with ipfs workflow
08:50 schestowitz-TR; so, I am thinking
08:50 schestowitz-TR; how about writing those 4 gmi files directly to the gemini account
08:50 schestowitz-TR; and, if so,wqhat dir?
08:50 schestowitz-TR; I don't think we need gmi objects in ipfs
08:50 schestowitz-TR; also, this would leapfrog the need to hardlink or copy across files, or duplicate files
09:13 schestowitz-TR; proceeding
09:13 schestowitz-TR; created ~/gemini/irc-gmi
09:13 schestowitz-TR; this is where I will sed the gmi files
09:13 schestowitz-TR; I've also increased open file limit
09:13 schestowitz-TR; ipfs is so weird that to add new objects
09:13 schestowitz-TR; it basically opens ALL the files
09:13 schestowitz-TR; which means 4000 items in ipfs would require keeping 4000 open file when running 'add'
09:13 schestowitz-TR; anyway, I will attempt, for the next night, to put gmi files in that new dir
09:13 schestowitz-TR; nce it is accomodatyed we'll need to make an index of the files in it
09:13 schestowitz-TR; we can kleep in gemini both gmi and txt version
09:18 schestowitz-TR; so this basically means on http we have html and text. on gemini gmi and txt

09:25 *liberty_box_ (~liberty@suig26pxj59pi.irc) has joined #boycottnovell
10:01 schestowitz-TR; tested file transmission, all seems fine, so now we have one daily stack for me to add to index
10:01 schestowitz-TR; 1. I made a full copy of the pi's /home so in case of catastrophe reinstating the server is not unsurmountable
10:01 schestowitz-TR; 2. I am now tryint to make index for gmi alongside irc txt files
10:01 schestowitz-TR; 3. when you are around, it is worth modifying irc tables perl/shell file to link to the gei version
10:01 schestowitz-TR; alongside the text version in wordpress blog post. also, maybe add gemini link for daily bellutin

12:39 schestowitz; I've just done some maintenance of ipfs; it uses up a lot of bandwidth but times out on requests regardless.
12:39 schestowitz;
12:39 schestowitz; Re IRC:
12:39 schestowitz; DONE: add links
12:39 schestowitz; DONE: add uploads -> pi only (tested locally, will see if it works OK tonight)
12:39 schestowitz; NOT NEEDED: add cron hardlink
12:39 schestowitz; DONE: remove "plain text" at 3 levels (we no longer need to say this)
12:39 schestowitz; DONE: add to index at gemini (extensive testing needed, esp. when more files get added)
12:39 schestowitz; NEXT:
12:39 schestowitz; change link in irc blog post? Or add 4 more links, for the gemtext version...
12:39 schestowitz; add link to bulletin at gemini:// (alongside www link and ipfs hash)
12:39 schestowitz; change link in irc botx4 channels?
12:39 schestowitz; I've pushed to git the stuff done so far.
13:58 Techrights-sec; pulling from Git
13:58 schestowitz-TR; uploading a video related to this atm
14:01 Techrights-sec; yes, next will be to change the links in the newly created pages from .txt to
14:01 Techrights-sec; .gmi
14:01 Techrights-sec; Which directory have / will the new Gemtext IRC logs been uploaded to?
14:01 schestowitz-TR; it is done already, you can see IRC logs for December (in Gemini)
14:02 *leah has quit (Quit: WeeChat 3.3)
14:02 schestowitz; gemini://gemini.techrights.org/boycottnovell/2021/12/index.gmi
14:03 schestowitz-TR; the video demonstrates this better, eta 10 mins
14:03 Techrights-sec; URL?
14:03 Techrights-sec; $ find ~/gemini/ -type f -name techrights-2021-12-06techrights-2021-12-06.gmi -print | wc -l
14:03 Techrights-sec;
14:05 Techrights-sec; gemini://gemini.techrights.org/boycottnovell/2021/12/
14:05 Techrights-sec; that's still plain text
14:06 schestowitz-TR; maybe you have it cached? There are two sections, the first is "GemText Version"
14:15 Techrights-sec; found it
14:15 Techrights-sec; akc
14:15 Techrights-sec; ack
14:15 schestowitz-TR; video published 10 saecs ago
14:15 Techrights-sec; these need updating, I'll look into it:
14:15 Techrights-sec; gemini://gemini.techrights.org/2021/12/07/irc-log-061221/
14:15 schestowitz-TR; i think best to have 4+4 links, 2 section, for text and for gemtext
14:16 schestowitz-TR; the bulletin link at the bottom also has a gemini equivalent that we can add. many "geminites" already read techrights, so this helps
14:44 *tech_exorcist has quit (connection closed)
15:07 schestowitz-TR; on another topic, I minute ago I deleted rms rss feed
15:07 schestowitz-TR; for the same reason I did it a decade ago
15:07 schestowitz-TR; about 90% of today's links there are bill'a guardian
15:07 schestowitz-TR; so it's not good RoI
15:09 Techrights-sec; It's too bad that RMS does not see the layers in the sources
15:09 Techrights-sec; Too much intrigue there for most people.
15:09 Techrights-sec; ack
15:09 schestowitz-TR; If I wanted to read bill, I'd sign up for their rss feed, but that gives them traffic
15:09 schestowitz-TR; gemini at least gives some inirection so I can glance at headlines
15:10 schestowitz-TR; btw, the site I use for that has a very limited selection of non-tech sites syndicated. for that, it's nypost (murdoch) or bill. wish it had reuters or something...
15:18 *tech_exorcist (~tech_exorcist@upfyme5tts22e.irc) has joined #boycottnovell
15:21 Techrights-sec; My RSS feed list has grown a lot but it is mostly low-yield stuff.
15:21 Techrights-sec; Even the best blogs post infrequently. But quality over quantity is important
15:22 schestowitz-TR; when there is no flow or low flow of information it gets harder to write and you end up clickbaiting like micro larabel
15:26 Techrights-sec; It'd be an interesting academic research project to track all those that
15:26 Techrights-sec; got bought out and how/why it happened. But much is probably under NDA
15:26 Techrights-sec; and on top of that it must hurt too much to speak of.
15:26 Techrights-sec; ... at least if they have any soul left
15:27 schestowitz-TR; on the upside, it leaves us with less competition. but back in the days there was TONS of stuff I could write about, now I rely in direct sources for EPO, GitHub etc. because there is barely any reporting at all
15:34 Techrights-sec; yes, TR stands out among fewer sites
15:36 schestowitz-TR; TM turns 17.5 at midnight
15:36 schestowitz-TR; Susan still in touch, still watching, still healthy too (afaik)
15:36 Techrights-sec; Excellent
15:36 Techrights-sec; The content there is posted before anywhere else as far as I know
15:36 schestowitz-TR; yes, speed is VERY importany
15:38 Techrights-sec; Excellent. Maybe it 2.5 years there will be a small party
15:38 Techrights-sec; at least online
15:38 schestowitz-TR; you know, in theory you can convert the TM RSS feed into a dynamic gmi page, which MIGHT be of use to some people
15:50 Techrights-sec; Can you elaborate?
15:50 Techrights-sec; gemini://gemini.techrights.org/2021/12/07/irc-log-061221/
15:50 Techrights-sec; ... produced by the cron script
15:50 Techrights-sec; unfortunately because of the directoru change Gemini vs WWW, a small kludge
15:50 Techrights-sec; is involved
15:50 schestowitz; 1. regarding tuxmachines in gemini, not worth its own capsule, but its updates are rapid and it can have a little section akin to a feed in gemini.tr, I think. Assuming there's "demand" for that...
15:50 schestowitz; 2. looking into the changes right now
15:55 Techrights-sec; It'd be a lot of trouble in the script and would be double so brittle as now.
15:55 schestowitz-TR; can we have both the txt and gmi links? maybe not worth it? it's already there anyway, same for txt over gemini:
15:55 schestowitz-TR; // for bulletin
15:55 schestowitz-TR; ah OK, so never mind, leave it just as gmi
15:55 schestowitz-TR; thegemini pages contain the txt in the indexes anyway
15:55 Techrights-sec; thanks
15:58 schestowitz-TR; snide remark against LF in Phoronix today, the last paragraph. I hope people wake up and see who they front for before it's too late. The IRC log past midnight (today) contains discussion about the contents of this LF report. Lots of Microsoft crap, almost infuriating
16:00 schestowitz-TR; the name is the problem. People are led to believe PF is NOT what it actually is
16:00 schestowitz-TR; it barely even employs any kernel hackers!!!
16:02 Techrights-sec; Most, too many, project wishful thinking onto the LF and have false expectations
16:02 Techrights-sec; based on the name. It is not a foundation to advance Linux it is a foundation
16:02 Techrights-sec; to advance its members' interests within Linux. That is the inverse of what
16:02 Techrights-sec; people generally expect.
16:02 Techrights-sec; percentage-wise a negligble amount of the money goes to technology skills
16:02 schestowitz-TR; TR did two or more posts about their edX course
16:03 Techrights-sec; pushed to Git now
16:03 schestowitz-TR; checking
16:05 schestowitz-TR; pushed
16:12 schestowitz-TR; nhs just called, all fine
16:12 schestowitz-TR; I see in my inbox a reply to my formal complaint
16:12 schestowitz-TR; I have not opend it yet
16:12 schestowitz-TR; as I assume it would be time-consuming to deal with, maybe another blog post
16:12 schestowitz-TR; but I know for sure thousands of people suffered like me, 10-20k on the queue the lady said
16:12 Techrights-sec; class-action lawsuits are about the only way to deal with misbehaving private
16:12 Techrights-sec; companies, lead plaintiff (if victorious) gets a lot but it is also a time sink
16:13 schestowitz-TR; btw, gulagtroll deadline has passed, and no communication since
16:15 Techrights-sec; should gemtext irc logs repeat the date at the beginning of every new hour
16:15 Techrights-sec; or just once at the beginning of each new day? I'm thinking the latter
16:15 Techrights-sec; might be better for screen readers and such.
16:15 Techrights-sec; The extranous punctuation / pseudo markup can be removed from the gemtext
16:15 Techrights-sec; version too
16:16 schestowitz-TR; maybe add the hour before the date?

16:20 Techrights-sec; "Dec 04, at 01 o'clock" ?
16:20 Techrights-sec; I'm thinking that since the whole page is for a single day, the date
16:20 Techrights-sec; is quite redundant and would be annoying to listen to especially over
16:20 Techrights-sec; calm periods in the log
16:21 schestowitz-TR; no, this is not an issue because for idle hours it gets omitted anyway
16:22 schestowitz-TR; it helps me and others too I assume get a sense of TIME. Like one long block between the bookmarks being a conversation that is active and fast
16:23 schestowitz-TR; for clarity, for 'newbs', it might help to include the hour first, e.g. 5:00 date
16:24 Techrights-sec; ok I'll put them back
16:59 Techrights-sec; another change pushed to Git
16:59 schestowitz-TR; I very much like the verbal descriptions. FWIW, yesterday's logs were polluted but lots of nasty stuff from ryan, but after midnight (IIRC) he got much more constructive and on-topic
17:04 schestowitz-TR; who is this josh duggar dude?
17:04 schestowitz-TR; is he important?
17:04 schestowitz-TR; when searching for "Linux" news he keeps showing up like a Han Reiser
17:04 schestowitz-TR; connecting "Linux" to psedophilia
17:04 schestowitz-TR; I never heard of this guy
17:04 schestowitz-TR; And I am suspicious about the media's motivations unlkess he is well known
17:11 Techrights-sec; no idea, never heard of him
17:11 Techrights-sec; the media (via the new fake local news sites) does appear to be up to something
17:11 Techrights-sec; malicious, what it is would be hard to guess but maybe lining up their shots
17:11 Techrights-sec; to smear FOSS or non-Windows systems in general
17:12 schestowitz-TR; seems like a potential smear, wherein freesw users are "pedophiles"... Cimpanu at ZDNet tried to connect Linux/Gentoo to ISIS, and the Microsofters cheered along back then
17:12 Techrights-sec; yes something like that
17:13 schestowitz-TR; I'll keep the lid (no links) unless it escalates. "Linux partition" associated with "child abuse"...
17:14 Techrights-sec; yes, "they" will say anything to disparage GNU.Linux
17:20 schestowitz-TR; there is NO way for me to cover this WITHOUT making the harm even worse
17:20 Techrights-sec; ack
17:21 schestowitz-TR; Media: I don't always mention what OS the subject of the article uses (alongside Windows). But when I do, I make sure the sponsors like that angle...
17:29 Techrights-sec; xhtml-log-to-text.pl now polished
17:34 schestowitz-TR; yes, I found that comma a tad misleading before and without some fancy unicode that harms the blind I can't think of something more suitable than a tab or two
17:36 Techrights-sec; I figure the comma is for screen readers which would put a pause there
