06:31 Techrights-sec; I think the lockfile issue with gemini-cron-updater.sh may be resolved

06:32 schestowitz-TR; thanks, lately I had to manually delete the lockfile every day

06:34 Techrights-sec; I think there had been some cases in which it got left behind and worse left

06:34 Techrights-sec; an unnecessary process running.

06:35 schestowitz-TR; I will probably make another full system clone tonight. I am buying 1 or 2 cd cards to back up rianne's and 2 USB sticks for mine. I'll use low-end peripheral to keep costs low. Those are backups.

07:28 schestowitz-TR; (will be out today in evening for food and electronics)


8 AM, February 11

08:31 schestowitz-TR; i have just added your googlebot ban

08:31 schestowitz-TR; I have also added a link to the gemini gateway (in the front page/root)

08:31 schestowitz-TR; this can be used in case of downtime

08:31 schestowitz-TR; so the site is in effect served from two domains, two countries

08:31 Techrights-sec; ack

08:31 Techrights-sec; thanks

08:31 Techrights-sec; the bot is supposed to honor robots.txt but clearly doesn't.

10:29 schestowitz-TR; did lots of css work on gemini proxy this morning

10:29 schestowitz-TR; the only mexternal/image file used is reused

10:29 schestowitz-TR; it is favicon

10:29 schestowitz-TR; browsers fetch it regardless

10:32 Techrights-sec; ack

10:32 Techrights-sec; I'm not sure the grey stripes are nice to look at.

10:32 schestowitz-TR; yes, there is a fallback plain colour there in the css, as before, you can change the stripes if you want. I did not like that combination either and it does not fit the palletee

10:32 schestowitz-TR; *palette

10:36 Techrights-sec; The "T" in front of TR links is good.

10:37 schestowitz; it does not introduce any file not already retrieved by browsers (I try to keep every page just one single self-contained file). blockquote style shown in http://gemini.techrights.org/proxy?url=gemini://gemini.techrights.org/2022/02/10/social-control-media-bubbles/index.gmi

14:34 schestowitz-TR; not sure I want to even mention vmware

14:34 schestowitz-TR; as that fud wave slowed down a lot today
