6 AM, July 8

06:27 Techrights-sec; tm-add-entry.pl -b /var/www/html/n/

06:27 Techrights-sec; only partially tested, proof of concept still, features missing

06:28 schestowitz-TR; :-)

06:28 schestowitz-TR; nice

06:28 schestowitz-TR; going to test in a moment, on shift till 9am

06:28 Techrights-sec; np

06:48 schestowitz-TR; I've just tried it and it said target is not writeable

06:48 schestowitz-TR; I did not check reason, IU am guessing directory permission based on which user created the dated dir and whether it's "w"

06:48 schestowitz-TR; if the <h2> has self-referential <a>, then from the front page the node too is accessible

06:58 *DaemonFC has quit (Quit: Leaving)


7 AM, July 8

07:19 schestowitz-TR; to limit CPU usage we can later set the main front page loop to only scan for latest modified files in the (say) last

07:19 schestowitz-TR; 30 days

07:19 schestowitz-TR; to add nodes, I suppose ssh access might be OK, adding them over the terminal

07:55 Techrights-sec; umask problem in; fixing

07:55 Techrights-sec; the group was not getting set rw, used ACLs to set a default for those

07:55 Techrights-sec; directories


8 AM, July 8

08:01 schestowitz-TR; now it works OK

08:01 schestowitz-TR; of note: at the moment any apostrophe in title would not be accepted because of slug conversion (i know it's still

08:01 schestowitz-TR; early)

08:01 schestowitz-TR; but very well done overall, it would speed up adding pages

08:01 schestowitz-TR; also makes it easier to find older pages (not some random node number, also organised by data via dir structure)

08:01 schestowitz-TR; I'll post Daily Links shortly

08:01 schestowitz-TR; (today around 5pm we have company meeting, then rianne and I plan to drink and go bargain-hunting, lots of spare

08:01 schestowitz-TR; space in the fridge)

08:01 Techrights-sec; ok I'll check

08:11 schestowitz-TR; nb: with campinos in helm, from OUR 'selfish' POV, we might have better things to publish

08:11 schestowitz-TR; scandals galore ahead

08:11 schestowitz-TR; i really really hope rianna and i will get the shift pattern we requested

08:32 *u-amarsh04 has quit (Quit: Konversation terminated!)

08:32 *u-amarsh04 has quit (Quit: Konversation terminated!)

08:47 Techrights-sec; Yes, I hope that the schedule is approved; That'd be great for both of you

10:11 schestowitz-TR; there seems to be a newly-introduced bug in automated feeds

10:11 schestowitz-TR; it shows the same description/body twice, first without <p> and then with <p></p>

10:46 schestowitz-TR; abe is dead

10:46 schestowitz-TR; borisnaro happy

10:47 schestowitz-TR; in other news, marius has a twitter desc that says husband and "dog dad"

10:47 schestowitz-TR; which I find adorable, he's also vegetarian

10:47 schestowitz-TR; he he gets shell access, I guess it would be account-based

10:47 schestowitz-TR; he's trustworthy

10:47 schestowitz-TR; *if he gets


11 AM, July 8

11:09 Techrights-sec; ack

11:09 schestowitz-TR; rianne and I both liked him

11:09 schestowitz-TR; I said more in IRC

11:09 schestowitz-TR; I also argued with mjg today

11:09 schestowitz-TR; he lost and went silent

11:18 schestowitz-TR; the pi's network firmware blob has an update, which I am applying

11:18 schestowitz-TR; but I think a new kernel might be needed to tackle the wifi thing

11:18 schestowitz-TR; having said that, I've no longer got intent to

11:18 schestowitz-TR; a) go back to wifi

11:18 schestowitz-TR; b) leave ipfs on all day long

11:18 schestowitz-TR; doing full /home backup at the moment

11:18 schestowitz-TR; not the whole system (clone) because I regard it not in a healthy state due to the kernel

11:20 Techrights-sec; ack. IPFS probably needs updating

11:20 Techrights-sec; but there seem to be fundamental shortcomings in the protocol itself

11:23 schestowitz-TR; decentralisation through sheer waste

11:23 schestowitz-TR; and does not scale well, either

13:38 Techrights-sec; /usr/local/bin/tm-generate-feed.pl -b /var/www/html/ -o /var/www/html/feed.xml /var/www/html/n/2022/*/*/*.shtml

13:49 schestowitz-TR; w00t! lovely! sorry took a while to respond due to posts

13:49 Techrights-sec; np

13:49 Techrights-sec; /usr/local/bin/tm-scraper.sh

13:49 Techrights-sec; ^ very expermental, perhaps details/summary would be better for the non-TM

13:49 Techrights-sec; feeds instead ?

13:50 schestowitz-TR; for all sites I always try to provide full content rss

13:50 schestowitz-TR; so people do not need to even enter the site

13:50 schestowitz-TR; it's better for the readers

13:50 schestowitz-TR; BTW, like I said earlie, I think you changed the scraper code and that impacted Daily links (duplicated paragraphs)

13:51 Techrights-sec; I'll have to dig into that.

13:51 schestowitz-TR; thanks, microsoft is attacking, lunduke just wrote about this

13:51 schestowitz-TR; so writing in techrights and making available old articles is imho important right now

13:52 schestowitz-TR; 2 hours till meeting, drowning in task overload atm

13:52 Techrights-sec;

13:52 Techrights-sec; yes

13:52 Techrights-sec; ack

13:58 schestowitz-TR; irc is hard to control (external factor)

13:58 schestowitz-TR; with notification you at least press something (or it just beeps)

13:59 schestowitz-TR; trying not to get burned out, not good time for that

13:59 schestowitz-TR; I made a list of 10 tasks, new TM is in it

13:59 schestowitz-TR; brb

13:59 Techrights-sec; ack

13:59 Techrights-sec; when you are back can you give an example ofthe problem you described with

13:59 Techrights-sec; duplicated links in the paragraphs?

13:59 schestowitz-TR; open date-merged.html for this morning scroll down and you will see this issue 50-70 times over


2 PM, July 8

14:02 Techrights-sec; ok checking

14:02 Techrights-sec; I see it

14:02 Techrights-sec; It's coming from the automated harvesting

14:02 Techrights-sec; checking

14:02 schestowitz-TR; for today's file it's a "solved" issue as I "cleaned my feeds"

14:02 schestowitz-TR; but would be nice to avoid on saturday which has like 120+ automated ones, mostly because of counterpunch

14:09 Techrights-sec; yes

14:09 schestowitz-TR; "spring booster" as euphemism for plecebo. Research has shown that fourth jab has no real advantage. They just keep selling and selling. https://coronavirus.data.gov.uk/details/whats-new/record/a20edb1c-a7ce-4b62-aaf8-fa64ffb22f10

14:14 schestowitz-TR; stair-climbing to unwind ;-)

14:14 schestowitz-TR; I caught up with all except rss latest feeds and new-TM

14:14 schestowitz-TR; will be back with fresher mind

14:22 Techrights-sec; ack

14:22 Techrights-sec; ok I think the duplication of paragraphs has been fixed,

14:22 Techrights-sec; thanks for spotting that

14:32 Techrights-sec; the "boosters" are ~ 25 Eur per person per dose IIRC

3 PM, July 8

15:03 schestowitz-TR; consider me away from desk

15:03 schestowitz-TR; <60 mins to meeting

15:03 schestowitz-TR; and after that we have cider and go bargain-hunting

15:03 schestowitz-TR; to back proper maybe in 3 hours

15:03 schestowitz-TR; just got some epo material

15:03 schestowitz-TR; will record later

15:03 schestowitz-TR; I should not get overworked

15:03 schestowitz-TR; as I have the weekend as buffer

15:03 schestowitz-TR; bbl

15:04 Techrights-sec; ok

16:34 schestowitz-TR; good news; rianne continues as is

16:34 schestowitz-TR; this may mean I'll be fully free :)

16:34 schestowitz-TR; hers is important

16:34 schestowitz-TR; for naturalisaiton etc.

16:34 Techrights-sec; did she also get a raise for the good work?

16:34 Techrights-sec; yes the naturalization paperwork is high priority I would think

16:36 schestowitz-TR; her salary covers alll our expenses

16:36 schestowitz-TR; sans luxuries like long-distance flights

16:36 schestowitz-TR; so we're OK

16:36 schestowitz-TR; I'll have a lot of time

16:36 schestowitz-TR; I wanted this outcome as second choice

16:36 Techrights-sec; ack

16:37 *psydruid (~psydruid@jevhxkzmtrbww.irc) has joined #boycottnovell

16:38 schestowitz-TR; speak later

16:38 schestowitz-TR; we'll have driunks and go buy food

16:38 schestowitz-TR; good news is, I'll still be connected to the company through her

16:38 schestowitz-TR; and can help her (if needed)

16:38 schestowitz-TR; so I'm sort of there but not there

16:38 schestowitz-TR; unless I insist

16:38 schestowitz-TR; which I don't want to

16:39 schestowitz-TR; her posiotion is vastly more important than mine

19:07 schestowitz-TR; <techrights-news> NHS said there would be weekly update every week (Friday). They lied. https://coronavirus.data.gov.uk/ no update. They're hiding how terrible it is, covering up for the Borisnaro regime.

↺ https://coronavirus.data.gov.uk/

19:07 -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell- ( status 403 @ https://coronavirus.data.gov.uk/ )

↺ https://coronavirus.data.gov.uk/

19:07 schestowitz-TR; back

19:08 schestowitz-TR; no nhs numbers :/

19:08 Techrights-sec; ok

19:08 Techrights-sec; hiding the damage; like in the case of bojotheclown they ignore the damage

19:11 schestowitz-TR; anyay, as per scrollback, I already mentioned the issue

19:11 schestowitz-TR; maybe it's weekly every weds, the explanation they gave was vague, not clear

19:11 schestowitz-TR; so rianne and I found a lot of stuff

19:11 schestowitz-TR; the most important thing is that they gae her complete assurances

19:11 schestowitz-TR; it's her who would otherwise struggle to find such employment and has spare time

19:11 schestowitz-TR; I'm catch up with feeds and news

19:12 Techrights-sec; ack

19:19 Techrights-sec; navigation still has to be figured out for the prototype for TM

19:20 schestowitz-TR; yes, when we have the machine ready we can pass that over to it, change dns

19:20 schestowitz-TR; then tested until happy

19:26 Techrights-sec; Ideas about layout / process / workflow, especially for navigating between posts?

19:29 schestowitz-TR; I think the title needs a self-referenctial <a href="path/node"></a>

19:29 schestowitz-TR; this way the front page works better

19:29 schestowitz-TR; the sidebar with "recent posts" can be generated from the rss feed and then written to the template

19:38 schestowitz-TR; <techrights-news> Apple itself attacks people on behalf of nation states; funny how NSA Schneier suddenly pretends not to kn ow about Snowden's leaks https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2022/07/apples-lockdown-mode.html

↺ https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2022/07/apples-lockdown-mode.html

19:38 -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-Apples Lockdown Mode - Schneier on Security

19:39 Techrights-sec; There is a better way to solve that, a self-referential link on the

19:39 Techrights-sec; each page is a big problem for usability; Which script creates the main page

19:39 Techrights-sec; as you have it?

19:40 schestowitz-TR; it currently resides in www and is called update something

19:40 schestowitz-TR; simple shell script

19:40 Techrights-sec; ok will check in a while

19:48 schestowitz-TR; mjg having his arse handed to him in irc today

19:48 schestowitz-TR; not me, other people

19:48 schestowitz-TR; I focus on links now

19:48 schestowitz-TR; I cannot publicly say much about work yet

19:48 schestowitz-TR; for legal reasons

19:48 schestowitz-TR; and for ongoing processes, so the draft is on hold

19:48 schestowitz-TR; like colleagues

19:48 Techrights-sec; yes he helped lock Linux out of the laptops and now Lenovo is taking advantage

19:48 Techrights-sec; of that capability and it's (nearly) all his fault

19:48 Techrights-sec; ack

19:52 schestowitz-TR; it's slow news friday, as usual, I'll double check everything to ensure I don't miss anything valuable

19:52 schestowitz-TR; I thoughtg I saw something and missed it, but I think justa gut feeling or some phoronix url

19:52 schestowitz-TR; someout put in irc (pluton/lenovo), I cannot link to this anyway

19:52 schestowitz-TR; won't click either, microbell writes about microsoft in a way I can neither stand nor understand ($)

19:52 schestowitz-TR; I've intentionally relegated the LP stuff to comments in tuxmachines

19:52 schestowitz-TR; shock effect just annoys people IME

19:52 schestowitz-TR; so you want to give them less "annoying" stuff and shelves the rest suitably, not in people's face

19:52 schestowitz-TR; over and over again like /. and some of SN

19:58 schestowitz-TR; we found lots of pastry for 10p today

19:58 schestowitz-TR; that's like 9 cents

19:58 schestowitz-TR; even good brands of loaves

19:58 schestowitz-TR; fed a little to the friend (geese)

19:58 schestowitz-TR; little (one piece) among a dozen of them

19:58 schestowitz-TR; been months since we shopped for food together

19:58 schestowitz-TR; also found some items for rianne's ebay store

19:59 Techrights-sec; ack

19:59 Techrights-sec; nice


8 PM, July 8

20:05 schestowitz-TR; Here, the FSA (former client of ours) would take complaints about that

20:05 schestowitz-TR; expired food here might still be good, but not legal to sell

20:05 schestowitz-TR; the trick is using the fridge and freezer widsely, based on space/weight, speed of rot, speed of condumption, and total worth

20:05 schestowitz-TR; rianne is also good at special things, like how to best fit x items into a box

20:05 schestowitz-TR; women are better than men at this, I once saw in a documentary

20:05 schestowitz-TR; it's something in the mental facultieis, maybe like nest-building

20:05 schestowitz-TR; an analytical thing that takes patience like sewing

20:05 schestowitz-TR; men lack that skill or will

20:05 schestowitz-TR; another trick is cooking a massive lot to kill off the germs

20:05 schestowitz-TR; rianne cooks like a 5kg stew right now, it can then last 5 days

20:05 schestowitz-TR; now that good prices went up such "skills" and "tricks" bring in more dividends

20:05 schestowitz-TR; same for efficient computing a la SMBS when price of energy goes UP

20:05 schestowitz-TR; this weekend I'll write down our expenses to calculate our finances in case I retire at 40

20:14 schestowitz-TR; "Phoronix benchmarks" = gift assessments. Mama: son did you like my gift? The son: hmmm... errrr... hmmm... yeah, it was OK, thank you, mom.
