08:10 Techrights-sec; maybe for the file names in Gemini?
08:10 Techrights-sec; https://metacpan.org/pod/Unicode::Diacritic::Strip
08:10 Techrights-sec; However, it would be useful to first know whether Gemini is supposed to support
08:10 Techrights-sec; unicode file names in the URLs or whether the failure to do so is merely a bug
08:10 Techrights-sec; which has spread

08:11 schestowitz-TR; catchhing up
08:11 schestowitz-TR; had good sleeping, knowing msft is coming apart
08:11 schestowitz-TR; daemonfc did a good post
08:11 schestowitz-TR; hmmm... looks like apache on techrights needs a restart again, it has not been so reliable lately
08:12 Techrights-sec; gm
08:12 Techrights-sec; m$ has been falling apart for decades, the decline has not affected its power
08:12 Techrights-sec; as a polictical movement or cult
08:12 Techrights-sec; oh. i misread that and 'fixed' tm
08:12 Techrights-sec; it's not been a long while fortunately
08:12 Techrights-sec; ok
08:12 Techrights-sec; restarted httpd
08:12 Techrights-sec; hmm still not responding
08:15 schestowitz-TR; are we both restrating it at the same time?
08:16 schestowitz-TR; there were two issues with apache 2 nights ago, but I was awake
08:16 schestowitz-TR; it is nto a db issue, I cannot access static pages either
08:16 schestowitz-TR; restarting apache gain
08:16 *DaemonFC has quit (connection closed)
08:16 Techrights-sec; no I just did once a few minutes ago and have only watched since then
08:16 Techrights-sec; it seems to be hanging and then responding in bursts
08:16 Techrights-sec; though it seems to only be responding to attacks and not to legitimate queries
08:16 Techrights-sec; does the db need attention?
08:16 Techrights-sec; 503 tends to be back-end

08:28 schestowitz-TR; ok, I gave php a kick as well
08:28 schestowitz-TR; for the time being it runs OK
08:28 schestowitz-TR; let's keep an eye on it for the next few hours
08:28 schestowitz-TR; as we have a lot of rebuttals to the media frenzy created by Microsoft moles
08:28 Techrights-sec; ack
08:28 Techrights-sec; ack
08:28 schestowitz-TR; I could show you some LAUGHABLE headlines
08:28 schestowitz-TR; they clearly cover up
08:28 schestowitz-TR; at first we didn't even know layoffs were happening
08:28 schestowitz-TR; then we thought it was just "savings"
08:28 schestowitz-TR; lots of spin
08:28 schestowitz-TR; smoke and mirrors
08:28 schestowitz-TR; I've put php monitoring in front of me so I can detect issues fast
08:35 schestowitz-TR; <techrights-news> Lots of bait and decoy in the media about Microsoft layoffs. Even Microsoft insiders are being misled about it.
08:36 Techrights-sec; ack
08:36 Techrights-sec; misled and at the same time participating in misleading the world
08:39 schestowitz-TR; back on topics now, with fire put out (it seems stable now)
08:39 schestowitz-TR; you asked about utf-x re gemini
08:39 schestowitz-TR; I don't know the subject, esp. wrt perl, too well
08:39 schestowitz-TR; you can judge this better than me
08:39 schestowitz-TR; I know steps we'd need to take when moving over to the new site
08:39 schestowitz-TR; the old site will still be there but with many redirections
08:39 schestowitz-TR; and no more new pages
08:39 schestowitz-TR; Gulag has already begun indexing pages in tm-new
08:39 schestowitz-TR; and having identical pages in both can be bad
08:39 schestowitz-TR; and penalise the latter
08:39 schestowitz-TR; so I hope we can move it all over this month
08:40 Techrights-sec; yes
08:40 Techrights-sec; it's not a perl matter but one of the specification and how it handles
08:40 Techrights-sec; or fails to handle URLs. A work-around is easy to implement but very
08:40 Techrights-sec; annoying and half unnecessary. HTTP clients all handle UTF-8 within URLs no
08:40 Techrights-sec; problem
08:42 schestowitz-TR; you would think a client called lagrange can deal with french/italisn, but it's made by a finn, so I wonder if nordic accents it can deal with too
08:42 schestowitz-TR; some domains in geminispace have symbols and emojis in them
08:42 schestowitz-TR; the domain name themselves
08:43 Techrights-sec; I'm wondering if they are not re-using the same defective library
08:43 Techrights-sec; domains are a different component of the URL. We're only affected by
08:43 Techrights-sec; problems in how the clients process paths, not 'scheme' or 'host' or 'port'
08:43 Techrights-sec; or 'query string', just the 'path'
08:48 schestowitz-TR; ack
08:48 schestowitz-TR; I don't know this place anymore, 34 degrees for 4 days in a ro
08:48 schestowitz-TR; *row
08:48 schestowitz-TR; don't expect videos, I don't have a/c
08:48 schestowitz-TR; I'm on shift 5:30 tonight, but took two days off 1.5 weeks from now
08:48 schestowitz-TR; who needs flying to a sunny holiday?
08:48 schestowitz-TR; it feels like spain in summer here
08:48 schestowitz-TR; and some stupid people bathe in a bikini in totally inadequate places
08:48 schestowitz-TR; rianne says they expose themselves to hundrerds of perverts
08:49 Techrights-sec; ack
08:49 Techrights-sec; ack
08:49 Techrights-sec; probably
08:55 Techrights-sec; yes, flying to a hot destination is unnecessary any more
08:55 Techrights-sec; flying not only releases unnecessary carbon, that carbon is fossil carbon
08:55 Techrights-sec; and not from the live cycle involving today's animals and plants
08:55 Techrights-sec; so eating vegetarian yet flying jets away to vacation or, worse, business trips
08:55 Techrights-sec; is an extreme form of being hypocritical. Those aren't either the same scale
08:55 Techrights-sec; or even the same carbon cycle.
08:56 schestowitz-TR; maybe they can be reminded what FOSSIL fuel is made of
08:56 schestowitz-TR; it's not just flora but also fauna
08:56 schestowitz-TR; "STOP BURNING ANIMALS"!!!
08:57 Techrights-sec; perhaps, but people don't want to think because it's inconvenient to think
08:57 Techrights-sec; back to the Gemini URLs, do you have any idea of where or whom to ask?
08:57 Techrights-sec; I'm really disappointed that the mailing list was dismantled.
08:58 Techrights-sec; Both lagrange and amfora are f-ing around in M$ GitHub so it will be very hard
08:58 Techrights-sec; to track down the contact information for the developers.
08:59 schestowitz-TR; lagrange uses gitea too (originally)
08:59 schestowitz-TR; and I think Jukka's email is public
08:59 schestowitz-TR; though he is busy with family stuff
08:59 Techrights-sec; Same for kristall.
08:59 Techrights-sec; Yes, he is /very/ overloaded atm afaik
09:02 schestowitz-TR; I wait for Microsoft to do what GitLab did
09:02 schestowitz-TR; and rattle the shackles a litt
09:02 schestowitz-TR; the slaves will never forgot what gitlab was about to do
09:02 schestowitz-TR; *forgot, #little

09:33 schestowitz-TR; re auragem, TONS of very good work from them/him/her
09:33 schestowitz-TR; like proxies and agteways
09:33 schestowitz-TR; it makes sense to have gemini forums in gemtext

09:34 Techrights-sec; ack
09:34 Techrights-sec; or at least somewhat near the route; like most towns they may have a lead pipe
09:34 Techrights-sec; problem
09:34 Techrights-sec; one of the articles had a good map of the affected watershed
09:34 schestowitz-TR; 9/11: 3k affected
09:34 schestowitz-TR; this: 3m affected
09:34 schestowitz-TR; no big deal
09:34 schestowitz-TR; it was just an "accident" anyway
09:37 Techrights-sec; yep
09:44 Techrights-sec; yeah if they call the dumping of the toxic waste an accident then it's all good
09:44 Techrights-sec; :(
09:46 schestowitz-TR; microsoft 'accidentally' did not patch the flaw in 2019
09:46 schestowitz-TR; so that's OK
09:46 schestowitz-TR; after all, they own the media
09:46 schestowitz-TR; the level of media spin is alarming
09:46 schestowitz-TR; if you assumed media's role was to get the truth out
09:46 schestowitz-TR; notm compensate by repeating lies en masse
09:47 Techrights-sec; It's annoying that the media has taken to calling long-standing, well-known
09:47 Techrights-sec; bugs as zero-days when they clearly are anything but that
09:47 Techrights-sec; the media is complicit in downplaying m$ inept passivity, perhaps because
09:47 Techrights-sec; of the important role that bug doors have in agency surveillance
09:51 schestowitz-TR; todo: find ANY new info on msft 1) layoffs 2) shut down units 3) how they spin that
09:51 schestowitz-TR; the last thing they want atm is people repeating facts again and again
09:51 schestowitz-TR; after they drowned out the signal
09:51 schestowitz-TR; you recently noted that system1 (spying, startpage) places our wiki in page 1

09:58 Techrights-sec; however those are probably just the tip of the iceberg
09:58 Techrights-sec; yes
09:58 Techrights-sec; and throws out a lot of chaff
09:58 Techrights-sec; recall the 'permatemp' situation years ago, used to hide layoffs then too
09:58 schestowitz-TR; I saw it and included it in the screenshots
09:58 schestowitz-TR; AOL
09:58 schestowitz-TR; and nasty JS
09:58 schestowitz-TR; they are selective in what they cover
09:59 schestowitz-TR; microsloth keeps its cards close to its chest
10:04 schestowitz-TR; what bothers me a lot are the authors' names
10:04 schestowitz-TR; I know those names
10:04 schestowitz-TR; they monopolise or at least dominate coverage on the topic, without disclosingconflic of interest
10:04 schestowitz-TR; so you end up THINKING you know what bad news Microsoft has
10:04 schestowitz-TR; when in reality it's ten times worse
10:04 schestowitz-TR; I did many posts about it last night
10:05 Techrights-sec; yes they make minor concessions in areas which M$ uses to distract from
10:05 Techrights-sec; what's really going on there
10:05 Techrights-sec; it's all about misdirection; they act like that going back decades; any time
10:05 Techrights-sec; there is a major or minor press release, you have to ask what are they trying
10:05 Techrights-sec; to distract from
10:10 Techrights-sec; ack
10:14 schestowitz-TR; the mentioned articles recycle and rehash many of the same
10:14 schestowitz-TR; it's sad when you want to know mor eand don't know where to go to
10:14 schestowitz-TR; to paragraphase groklaw
10:14 schestowitz-TR; but in recent years I noticed that when there's major "general" news
10:14 schestowitz-TR; and I want to know what's REALLY happening
10:14 schestowitz-TR; I can think of not a single site I can open
10:14 schestowitz-TR; and trust what it says
10:14 schestowitz-TR; so many sites, such bad quality
10:14 schestowitz-TR; re general Linux news sites, there's a similar problem
10:14 schestowitz-TR; on pretty much every single topic
10:14 schestowitz-TR; a cynic cannot find any article one can trustm anywhere..
10:14 schestowitz-TR; too many compromised orgs
10:14 schestowitz-TR; or good sites that are no longer active, barely active, and cover a small subset of topics
10:15 Techrights-sec; ack
10:19 schestowitz-TR; part of this suspicion if the assumption the sole remainign business model is the bias
10:19 schestowitz-TR; but sadly I cannot give you recent examples as I forgot
10:19 schestowitz-TR; but I dread landing on a page with misinformation in it
10:19 schestowitz-TR; I'd rather know nothing than be told a lie
10:19 schestowitz-TR; and that's just how I feel on the WWW these days
10:19 schestowitz-TR; <techrights-news> Senior editor at PCWorld (IDG) is a Microsoft mole, Yee. Infiltrated media, just as Microsoft boaster.
10:20 schestowitz-TR; WW1 -> WW2 -> WWW
10:25 Techrights-sec; WWW->WWIII
10:25 Techrights-sec; the disinformation and digital control fight there has been going on for some
10:25 Techrights-sec; year already
10:26 schestowitz-TR; "evanglism is war"
10:27 Techrights-sec; ack
10:51 schestowitz-TR; drafgt
10:51 schestowitz-TR; the goal is to bring up or put ion context the layoffs and uefi
10:52 Techrights-sec; checking
10:52 Techrights-sec; yes, then the layoffs ought to be at least mentioned; also didn't Christian E
10:52 Techrights-sec; once calculate that M$ would lose its main money maker, the monopoly rents,
10:52 Techrights-sec; once it's desktop market share dropped below something in the mid 80s percent?
10:52 Techrights-sec; Another point to drive home is that M$ is either an also-ran or no-show in
10:52 Techrights-sec; servers, supercomputers, embedded system, mobile devices, and anything else
10:52 Techrights-sec; besides desktops
10:52 Techrights-sec; So this decline in client-side markets is the *entirity* of M$ real business,
10:52 Techrights-sec; regardless of however much they might make from buying and selling (their own)
10:52 Techrights-sec; stock
10:55 schestowitz-TR; I need to verify this, but Microsoft "consultants" conned many employees into putting their savings in Microsoft shares ("investment")
10:55 schestowitz-TR; so they even lose their salaries now
10:56 *britney (~britney@muarsy2vret2q.irc) has joined #boycottnovell
10:57 schestowitz-TR; another point (made in irc last night): when we went to the large chain here of computers and electronics
10:57 schestowitz-TR; the very large shop was mostly empty
10:57 schestowitz-TR; not a single person looking at 'Windows' laptops
10:57 schestowitz-TR; that might also explain the anguish of Intel
10:57 schestowitz-TR; this was yesterday
10:57 schestowitz-TR; people look for essentials
11:06 Techrights-sec; well, for perhaps 5 or more years the laptops themselves and the laptop section
11:06 Techrights-sec; they are in make *zero* mention of Windows. It has become that much of a
11:06 Techrights-sec; liability
11:14 schestowitz-TR; i never thought of it like that, but now that you mention it...
11:14 schestowitz-TR; they should call it the "brfoken windows" section
11:14 schestowitz-TR; that sells a lot in AV"premiums", too
11:17 Techrights-sec; they also sell, at a markup, "AV" and "Office", so there are several perverse
11:17 Techrights-sec; incentives to continue to sell M$ Windows, especially since the computers
11:17 Techrights-sec; "stop working" rather soon or at least "slow down" due to bloat *and* malware
11:17 Techrights-sec; thus driving premature new purchases
11:17 Techrights-sec; There was a time about 20 years ago when insurance companies were starting to
11:17 Techrights-sec; raise the costs of premiums for NT compared to real operating systems,
11:17 Techrights-sec; especially GNU/Linux. However, no idea what became of that. M$ shat bricks overthat. But for the insurance companies it was only about money.
11:17 schestowitz-TR; "brfoken windows"

12:09 schestowitz-TR; PR PaRRots are writing from ther same scripts
12:09 schestowitz-TR; probably briefed by Shaw and others
12:09 schestowitz-TR; some "hey hi" could detect the replicated sentences and yield just NEw info
12:09 schestowitz-TR; lost or drowned out
12:21 schestowitz-TR; a LOT of cooking done here today
12:21 schestowitz-TR; low-cost raw material/foods
12:21 schestowitz-TR; too much even
12:21 schestowitz-TR; at the store with the PCs/electronics we checked the price of a second freeer
12:21 schestowitz-TR; and took into account operational costs, notably power
12:21 schestowitz-TR; before the pandemic, maybe we could justify that
12:21 schestowitz-TR; and seeing that it's getting hard to find the discounts
12:21 schestowitz-TR; it seems now like an unattractive proposition
12:21 schestowitz-TR; I wonder if rolling outages (e.g. Switzerland Finaland) start at some pont
12:21 schestowitz-TR; whether duration will take into account
12:21 schestowitz-TR; food freshness
12:21 schestowitz-TR; more importantly though, it won't lower energy use
12:21 schestowitz-TR; people just delay and later do what they planned to do anyway
12:21 schestowitz-TR; freezer later work harder, for longer, putting at risk their lifetime
12:21 schestowitz-TR; so that can end up generating not just wasted food but also appliances going to waste sooner

12:32 Techrights-sec; and reprinted, saying how to "save" by charging the smartphone in the car :/
12:32 Techrights-sec; Not only is that more expensive it releases fossil carbon
12:32 schestowitz-TR; cars burn FAR more energy than what homes use
12:32 schestowitz-TR; like bulbs
12:32 schestowitz-TR; more so planes
12:32 schestowitz-TR; ban THOSE
12:32 schestowitz-TR; or limit their use/purchasing
12:32 schestowitz-TR; make better public transport
12:33 Techrights-sec; yep
12:33 Techrights-sec; fwiw since this mornings commmit the Gemini URLs and the HTTP URLs no longer
12:33 Techrights-sec; match up exactly in all cases. I hope it is just a temporary measure and
12:33 Techrights-sec; it turns out that the clients have been misinterpreting the URLs; it does not
12:33 Techrights-sec; make sense that they shoul block UTF8 in the path; these days even the host name
12:33 Techrights-sec; can be UTF-8
12:35 schestowitz-TR; for old urls it might be ok
12:35 schestowitz-TR; it might break an assumption I make about how to generate the gemini url, based on xml feed in https
12:35 schestowitz-TR; another option is, avoid special chars in headlines
12:35 schestowitz-TR; if possible
12:36 Techrights-sec; The URLs for the XHTML pages can be mutilated in the same manner so as to ensure
12:36 Techrights-sec; synchronization. Should that be done?
12:36 schestowitz-TR; yes, falkon too struggles with some urls that libreworld/ff can cope with
12:36 schestowitz-TR; but hopefully change only applicable to future urls
12:36 schestowitz-TR; to avoid 404s
12:38 Techrights-sec; ok,
12:38 Techrights-sec; 404s are just fine until the site goes into production, we might have to
12:38 Techrights-sec; change the whole URL path (or not) by that time, probably not though
12:39 schestowitz-TR; i thinkwe cna keep the same url scheme and add more sections to make the site more useful
12:39 schestowitz-TR; drupal was too limiting
12:39 schestowitz-TR; so the front page can be more "spicy" with more useful stuff for NEW visitors, then there's the news section as part of it
12:40 schestowitz-TR; like techrights with The Four Latest Stories
12:40 Techrights-sec; yes, the more generic things are the less they fit
12:48 Techrights-sec; when the site does go into production the old domain news.tuxmachines.org can
12:48 Techrights-sec; redirect all /n/ URLs to the main page of the formal domain tuxmachines.org
12:51 schestowitz-TR; tghe existing domain stayed in restricted, read-only mode
12:51 schestowitz-TR; as there is a lot of stuff there like distro reviews
12:51 schestowitz-TR; and historical archives
12:51 schestowitz-TR; we don't want to do what groklaw did..
12:51 schestowitz-TR; groklow likely looked for way to lower bills for ibm/ibiblio
12:51 schestowitz-TR; by doing so they also sabotaged a lot of hard-worked-for work
12:51 schestowitz-TR; without any consultation with those who left a lot of comments, Daily News Picks etc.
12:53 Techrights-sec; right but the alpha site is a throwaway
12:53 Techrights-sec; it exists to hammer out bugs and polish details
12:58 schestowitz-TR; no need to throw it away
12:58 schestowitz-TR; it is robust enough
12:58 schestowitz-TR; just need to set up backup routine for its DB an the files
12:58 schestowitz-TR; one option is, we can redirect the rss feed at one pointbut it can confuse some people
12:58 schestowitz-TR; there will be about 2000 nodes that need migrating from old to new
12:58 schestowitz-TR; I make sure I edit nothing older than these
12:58 schestowitz-TR; as the intention is to revert back to an old snapshot of old after that
12:58 schestowitz-TR; a more consistent DB state
12:58 schestowitz-TR; after we do all this we can start working on TR migration
13:01 Techrights-sec; ack
13:01 schestowitz-TR; I like how TM is now, it looks like a newspaper and it's a no-bullshit, no-bloat, quick to load access to latest news
13:01 schestowitz-TR; drupal is to sealife what an aquiarrium is
13:01 schestowitz-TR; and that put many limitations
13:01 schestowitz-TR; no gemini, no push notifications, no management through git
13:01 schestowitz-TR; drush exists, but it's not the same
13:03 Techrights-sec; ack

13:11 schestowitz-TR; poor analogy, but I thought of it while feeding the wish
13:11 schestowitz-TR; letter to the editor: the idiot who shink burening engine fuel to charge a "smart" phone (might as well just use old Nokia phone) might need discover living in your
13:11 schestowitz-TR; own cars can save all the costs associated with home ownwership
13:11 schestowitz-TR; [cue analogy of clown computing as "cost saver"... like using public toilets exclusively... even in the middle of the night... saves you water and paper)
13:11 schestowitz-TR; sorry, many typos above
13:11 schestowitz-TR; "we don't need shower and toilets at home" "we don't need any hardware for our business, we can lease"
13:11 schestowitz-TR; BTW, the gym we went to quit owning the equipment in it
13:11 schestowitz-TR; now they just RENT it all from a company with servicing as part of the contract
13:11 schestowitz-TR; gmy-eqipment-as-a-service
13:15 Techrights-sec; renting like that sounds like they don't plan to stay in business long
13:15 Techrights-sec; equipment is the core of such a facility
13:17 schestowitz-TR; they already rebranded as "the spa" in 2016
13:17 schestowitz-TR; and they turning the squash court into the gym, in effect taking away other facilities like pingpong, exercise flood, aquash/racketball
13:17 schestowitz-TR; the price wasn't too bad, but it's not safe there
13:17 schestowitz-TR; for reasons I explained beofre
13:17 schestowitz-TR; overnight I sent you some links to my blog
13:19 Techrights-sec; getting rid of the equipment is a big step towards liquidation of the whole
13:19 Techrights-sec; business
13:19 Techrights-sec; ok checking
13:20 Techrights-sec; it's (intentionally) difficult to keep track of the transmission rates
13:20 Techrights-sec; and the mortality rates because the responsible agencies have taken to
13:20 Techrights-sec; hiding or delaying the data
13:20 Techrights-sec; publication
13:21 schestowitz-TR; they don't even compre apples and apples anymore
13:21 schestowitz-TR; so whatever numbers they do publish actually embellish the situation
13:21 schestowitz-TR; but many people fogot that

15:55 schestowitz-TR; we bought a lot of disposable maska and sanitiser yesterdat
