07:21 schestowitz-TR; I've added a gemini proxy url to posted links

07:21 schestowitz-TR; see git/deskto_utils/url.sh

07:21 schestowitz-TR; I've noticed that for irc logs in gemini the gemini link conversion

07:21 schestowitz-TR; does not work correctly

07:21 schestowitz-TR; for

07:21 schestowitz-TR; gemini://....http://...

↺ http://...

07:21 -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-Could not resolve host: .; Unknown error ( status 0 @ http://. )

↺ http://.

07:21 schestowitz-TR; where the latter part of part of the address

07:23 schestowitz-TR; so one option I have is to rewrite the latter part a little e.g.

07:23 schestowitz-TR; https%3A

07:23 schestowitz-TR; the other option is, changing the code that processes irc logs for gemini

07:23 schestowitz-TR; for example of this behaviour see the latest irc scrollback in gemini

07:23 schestowitz-TR; see how it handles either cases in "linkicication"


8 AM, July 11

08:00 schestowitz-TR; never mind, solving this at my end

08:34 schestowitz-TR; solved and tested :-)

08:34 schestowitz-TR; you can see what I mean by accessing scrollback

08:34 schestowitz-TR; many links will have a gemini proxy for them

08:34 schestowitz-TR; and it will show up as clickable also in daily irc logs and scrollback

08:34 schestowitz-TR; change in git, it's a one-liner


9 AM, July 11

09:26 schestowitz-TR; bbl run in park

11:19 schestowitz-TR; do you think it's worth having a gemini proxy URL for every "line" in the automated links?

11:19 schestowitz-TR; I mean opposite, there will be a gemini:// url for each of the articles you dig or scrape

11:19 Techrights-sec; no, it'd be preferable to encourage direct use of Gemini. So periodic

11:19 Techrights-sec; advertisments for the clients can be run.

11:19 Techrights-sec; oh, a http-to-gemini proxy? Nah. The HTTP clients are already ubiquitous and

11:19 Techrights-sec; have been for a long time.

11:22 schestowitz-TR; upside: traffic for new proxy

11:22 schestowitz-TR; gemini irc logs have clickable gemini links

11:22 schestowitz-TR; some people in irc can click the gemini url instead of some bloated, malicious,. clownflared site

11:22 schestowitz-TR; I implemented this for curated links of mine

11:22 schestowitz-TR; I tried tuxmachines also, but the proxy does a poor job detecting the "content" in TM pages

11:22 schestowitz-TR; So I commented that out and pushed to git

11:22 schestowitz-TR; maybe it'll have "native" gemini support soon

11:23 Techrights-sec; ack

11:23 Techrights-sec; yes, it's tuned specifically for TR

11:24 schestowitz-TR; when I say gemin proxy I mean newswaffle

11:25 schestowitz-TR; it's a very good proxy

11:25 schestowitz-TR; it handles images and tables (!!) too

11:25 schestowitz-TR; if you check irc scrollback in gemini, you can see what I mean

11:25 Techrights-sec; ok

11:25 schestowitz-TR; or see the changes in git to url.sh

11:46 schestowitz; <p>Let's consider this attack against popular "play to earn" game Axie Infinity.

But they specifically wanted people that likely had access to the crypto wallets that enable control of the blockchain. LinkedIn let

The details of the attack spell out that the attackers had set up a whole fake interview process to convince the marks that the process was legitimate and they put the malware in the offer letter.

17:02 Techrights-sec; working a lot with the db structure atm

17:02 Techrights-sec; trying to keep it simple yet prevent errors with entry

17:02 Techrights-sec; I've fallen quite out of practice with SQL

17:02 Techrights-sec; tm-add-entry-sql.pl -a roy

17:03 schestowitz-TR; thanks, just got back

17:03 schestowitz-TR; working in a moment

17:03 schestowitz-TR; ...

17:23 Techrights-sec; np

17:23 schestowitz-TR; also talking to source

17:51 Techrights-sec; excellent

17:51 Techrights-sec; awesome

17:51 schestowitz-TR; i have a trove of pages from courts

17:51 schestowitz-TR; microsoft is getting sweaty under the neck

17:51 schestowitz-TR; soon I will release desperate mail from lawyers

17:51 schestowitz-TR; *lying)

17:54 schestowitz-TR; there are some BIG stories coming, I'm not being lazy with articles

17:54 schestowitz-TR; of course MSM won't pareticipate (their loss, their problem)

17:54 schestowitz-TR; i wonder how to better streamline links in TM and TR

17:54 schestowitz-TR; seeing that we post similar Daily links in both at different frequency

17:54 schestowitz-TR; there MUST be a better way

17:54 schestowitz-TR; in IRC there will be a ton of gemini links now that we have a decent proxy for news sites

17:54 Techrights-sec; that's good news

17:56 schestowitz-TR; the big stories age better as nobody else covers there, like ddg expose, bill's mansion

17:56 schestowitz-TR; (millions of hits over the years)

17:56 schestowitz-TR; we have to accept that there is some taboo stuff or bribed media, so it's not going

17:56 schestowitz-TR; to participate because it's not 'supposed' to

17:56 schestowitz-TR; EPO is worse; it's not only rich but also highly connected, inc. to EU and national

6 PM, July 11

18:00 schestowitz-TR; hopefully I can shed off this job by October and bag what I'm entitled to

18:00 schestowitz-TR; turns out the delaying tacic is HR telling them how to try to get VOLUNTARY resignation

18:00 schestowitz-TR; or people looking for employment elsewhere (in the meantime I get paid; I quit worrying

18:00 schestowitz-TR; when I knew rianne is safe)

18:00 schestowitz-TR; if you can think of urgent topics, let me know

18:00 schestowitz-TR; the news is not slow, but no high-impact news and way too how to do a video before it's dark

18:00 schestowitz-TR; I might show the gemini proxy being plugged into ircs

18:00 schestowitz-TR; someone is going after mgj for defamation, but I cannot mention it publicly

18:00 schestowitz-TR; he has many victims and they want to neutralise him for good

18:03 schestowitz; <body>hello</body>

18:03 schestowitz; slug not unique for that date

18:03 schestowitz; try again with another slug or perhaps even another title

18:06 Techrights-sec; checking, it's a file system permissions problem

18:06 Techrights-sec; ok please retry

18:06 Techrights-sec; the error message will need refinement, it needs to differentiate

18:06 Techrights-sec; the access problem from the other problems

18:06 Techrights-sec; excellent

18:06 schestowitz-TR; db holding up for now

18:06 schestowitz-TR; but some very old nodes missing

18:06 schestowitz-TR; the longer it goes on for, the more nodes we'll need to download and copy across post-restore

18:06 schestowitz-TR; but it's doable with a script, should be ratheer simple

18:06 schestowitz-TR; kaniini spoke in irc today

18:16 Techrights-sec; checking

18:16 Techrights-sec; fatfingered the earlier setting. double-checked now, they should be good

18:16 schestowitz-TR; record added

18:16 schestowitz-TR; title cannot accept punctuation and other symbols I see...

18:21 Techrights-sec; it's still the same as the other day, the difference is that it passes

18:21 Techrights-sec; through an SQL database. Punctuation and Unicode can be added soon

18:21 Techrights-sec; it needs checking for stuff like & and < and > too

18:23 schestowitz-TR; i guess a familar hurdle to most web-based stuff (e.g. cms) s/w

18:23 schestowitz-TR; I assume from the db ist then exports a static file, e.g. nodeslug.html and nodeslug.gmi

18:23 schestowitz-TR; so the db is managing an api by which to add and modify existing pages

18:24 Techrights-sec; yes

18:24 Techrights-sec; yes

18:24 Techrights-sec; it's primitive and unexpertly done but is at least fairly simple

18:24 Techrights-sec; (uncomplex)

18:30 Techrights-sec; the advantage is that the db holds the components / structure which can be

18:30 Techrights-sec; extracted and processed into any new structure. It's more consistent than

18:30 Techrights-sec; having a bunch of HTML files, since it is even more strict.

18:33 schestowitz-TR; just posted more daily links

18:33 schestowitz-TR; trying to survive the heat without another shower

18:36 Techrights-sec; ack

18:37 schestowitz-TR; i see that clickfraud spamnil is still engaging in end user violations

18:37 schestowitz-TR; to hide how the channel is failing

18:37 schestowitz-TR; and hardly produces any news stuff

18:37 schestowitz-TR; as he knows the real numbers

18:37 schestowitz-TR; I can ignore him for now

18:37 schestowitz-TR; LF has been silent this past week

18:37 schestowitz-TR; I wish I had eyes inside to tell me who left

18:38 Techrights-sec; ack

18:48 Techrights-sec; yes

18:48 Techrights-sec; that would be useful

18:59 Techrights-sec; ack

18:59 Techrights-sec; the Atom feeds stuff will need redoing. I can get to that soon (r)

18:59 schestowitz-TR; I've modified the script to update the homepage of test based on latest new records from the DB


7 PM, July 11

19:01 Techrights-sec; the navigation still needs figuring out too

19:03 schestowitz-TR; with SSI along the side we can periodically give a list of latest nodes

19:03 schestowitz-TR; the msnu can also be a file of its own

19:03 schestowitz-TR; so could be refined later, I guess

19:18 schestowitz-TR; bcked up /var/www to my laptop

19:18 schestowitz-TR; I was not sure why wordpress was placed there

19:19 Techrights-sec; yes the latest items is in an include file, the generator needs adapting to SQL

19:19 Techrights-sec; first

19:19 Techrights-sec; thanks

19:19 Techrights-sec; remove that. it is not from this project. I'll delete the directory

19:19 Techrights-sec; juggling several things

19:19 Techrights-sec; only the /var/www/tuxmachines.org directory is relevant

19:21 schestowitz-TR; deleted (my end)

19:21 Techrights-sec; the bin directory has old stuff but that's ok -- for now

19:21 Techrights-sec; thanks
