4 AM, September 11

04:02 schestowitz-TR2; just found another hidden impact of the 3am disconnection (not related to the system crash in any way)

04:02 schestowitz-TR2; the cron job for the gemini capsule never completed, leaving a lock file in taxt

04:02 schestowitz-TR2; so the capsule did not update for 24 hours

04:02 schestowitz-TR2; I noticed the issue moments ago

05:04 *Noisytoot (~noisytoot@tkbibjhmbkvb8.irc) has joined #boycottnovell

05:04 Techrights-sec; Which script left the lock file?

05:05 schestowitz-TR2; I am not sure

05:05 schestowitz-TR2; I actually tried to understand which thing updates the whole capsule every (3 hours?)... as it has not updated the ffront page

05:05 Techrights-sec; checking

05:05 schestowitz-TR2; but it did generate gemini versions of pages from yesterday

05:09 Techrights-sec; slow connection

05:10 schestowitz-TR2; I could stop ipfs and remove tc throttling

05:12 Techrights-sec; /home/gemini/bin/gemini-cron-updater.sh has a trap to remove lock files

05:12 Techrights-sec; so if it was that script, more details are needed. If it was not that

05:12 Techrights-sec; script, then we'd need to know which script.

05:13 schestowitz-TR2; the disconnection here was around 3am local time, iirc

05:13 schestowitz-TR2; iirc, the heavy pages are updated around 3,6,9...

05:13 Techrights-sec; Was it poweroff or network?

05:16 schestowitz-TR2; network

05:16 schestowitz-TR2; and brief

05:16 schestowitz-TR2; very weird

05:16 schestowitz-TR2; as connections were not dropped fully, afaik

05:16 schestowitz-TR2; something was temporarily wrong wih the network and it recovered

05:16 schestowitz-TR2; or maybe that is not related at all

05:16 schestowitz-TR2; all I know is, I need to remove a lock file

05:16 schestowitz-TR2; some pages were last updated 2am 2 days ago

05:16 schestowitz-TR2; no, 1 day ago, 7 hours

05:16 schestowitz-TR2; *27 hours

05:17 Techrights-sec; ok that would leave a lock file somehow, but the trap /should/ in all cases

05:17 Techrights-sec; remove it on the way out.

05:17 Techrights-sec; What was the name of the lock file?

05:17 schestowitz-TR2; gemino--cron-updater.sh

05:19 Techrights-sec; Hmm. That one has the trap calling removal of the temporary files and the

05:19 Techrights-sec; lock file. THere's another old one from aug 4 for show-new-visitors-count.sh

05:19 Techrights-sec; maybe that is blocking things

05:19 schestowitz-TR2; that was around the time we recovered from the dead microsd and moved to usb

05:24 Techrights-sec; I wonder under which circumstances gemini-cron-updater.sh can leave a stray

05:24 Techrights-sec; lock file?

05:25 schestowitz-TR2; maybe I deleted it while it was still running

05:25 Techrights-sec; Could be. Some parts are dreadfully slow.

05:25 schestowitz-TR2; that's pi on USB

05:27 Techrights-sec; It calls several other network-dependent scripts and those can be quite slow.

05:27 Techrights-sec; We did add a timeout of 600 seconds to one of them, just because that part

05:27 Techrights-sec; was too slow and could hang for all practical purposes.

05:27 schestowitz-TR2; back in a few hours after a nap

10 AM, September 11

10:19 schestowitz-TR2; i got back 2 hours ago

10:19 schestowitz-TR2; thought the cron job at 6am would update the front page and some sub-pages

10:19 schestowitz-TR2; new posts do in fact become gemini pages

10:19 Techrights-sec; checking

10:19 Techrights-sec; ack

10:19 schestowitz-TR2; so some stuff does work

10:19 schestowitz-TR2; also, the pages for irc logs do update

10:19 schestowitz-TR2; the ones I see not updating are the front page and 'feeds'

10:19 schestowitz-TR2; when I say feed I mean daily lumps of posts from the day

10:19 schestowitz-TR2; I think it's most likely due to the network issue, based on the timestamp

10:19 schestowitz-TR2; it knocked the flow off balance

10:19 schestowitz-TR2; maybe even some temporary pages

10:23 Techrights-sec; The script is still running from the cronjob

10:23 Techrights-sec; $ ps -p 17108 -o etime,args

10:23 Techrights-sec; ELAPSED COMMAND

10:48 Techrights-sec; sudo /usr/local/sbin/tc-shaper-v2021-Nov.sh

10:48 Techrights-sec; is one of the two lines choking the script

10:48 Techrights-sec; sudo /usr/local/sbin/tc-shaper-v2.sh

10:48 Techrights-sec; is the other

10:48 Techrights-sec; there needs to be two lines in /etc/sudoers to permit those to run without

10:48 Techrights-sec; any added options

10:48 Techrights-sec; %gemini ALL=(root:root) NOPASSWD: /usr/local/sbin/tc-shaper-v2021-Nov.sh ""

10:48 Techrights-sec; %gemini ALL=(root:root: NOPASSWD: /usr/local/sbin/tc-shaper-v2.sh ""

10:48 Techrights-sec; thanks

10:48 Techrights-sec; The second line should say (root:root) rather than (root:root:

10:49 schestowitz-TR2; yes, we lost those changes to sudoers -- i think that's the only thing we lost following the system crash

10:49 schestowitz-TR2; so I can add those two files

10:49 schestowitz-TR2; and then use visudo to add those two lines?

10:49 schestowitz-TR2; after that I will clone the pi again

11:20 schestowitz-TR2; it seems to be working ok now from gemini, but I will stay logged in as root just in case

11:29 Techrights-sec; The main thing is that the syntax is ok, if sudo works in another terminal

11:29 Techrights-sec; then that part is good.

11:31 schestowitz-TR2; i'm going to clone both rianne's pi and ours

11:31 schestowitz-TR2; meanwhile I hope the gemini capsule will sort itself out

11:31 schestowitz-TR2; I knew this bit was missing after the outage/D-R

11:31 schestowitz-TR2; later I will do some more backups of things

11:31 schestowitz-TR2; with rianne's exams aced and out of the way, she says it's 95% in the hands of the solicitors now

11:31 schestowitz-TR2; they only charge 425 pounds for everything, believe it or not!

11:31 Techrights-sec; ack

11:31 Techrights-sec; Congratulations to her on acing the exams

11:31 Techrights-sec; Must be a package price or something

11:34 schestowitz-TR2; they were reasonable before, this time half priced too, so we came back

11:34 schestowitz-TR2; also not far from us, walking distance

11:34 schestowitz-TR2; no more suits who charge 200 pounda an hour for mostly photocopying a bunch of papers

12:04 schestowitz-TR2; started piclone on rianne's

12:04 schestowitz-TR2; by all means it can do everything when it runs

12:04 schestowitz-TR2; but no reboots/crashes/outsages

12:04 schestowitz-TR2; to avoid f*ing up the partitions

12:04 schestowitz-TR2; it also copies all of /home to external disk every morning, but /home isn't everything

13:15 schestowitz-TR2; I've just been contacted by the 5th most active tuxmachines submitter

13:15 schestowitz-TR2; he wants to be able to post

13:17 *Noisytoot has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s)

13:24 Techrights-sec; It is not a problem on the technical side. AFAIK

13:31 schestowitz-TR2; thanks, I told him to send along his public key

13:31 schestowitz-TR2; I will check email later on and see what username he asked for

13:31 schestowitz-TR2; I think the goal isn't to maximise number of contributors but quality/relevance

13:31 schestowitz-TR2; based on mitakes made in tm-old -- people that in hindsight didn't deserve an account

13:31 schestowitz-TR2; reddit and twitter (digg in its time) have this flaw -- people just use them to promote their own shit

13:31 schestowitz-TR2; with no real regard to the readers' interests

13:31 schestowitz-TR2; SN wouldn have the same issue

13:31 schestowitz-TR2; the "LINUX" section of Slashdot is like this

13:31 schestowitz-TR2; they miss all the important news

13:31 schestowitz-TR2; and reward those who 'borrow' or 'game' the site

13:31 Techrights-sec; ack

13:40 schestowitz-TR2; they paid for the brand and for the drones who follow the brand

13:40 schestowitz-TR2; irrespectove of who stands behind the brand

13:40 schestowitz-TR2; e.g. Microsoft Dice

13:40 schestowitz-TR2; and now Logan

13:40 schestowitz-TR2; who came to IRC

13:40 schestowitz-TR2; told us it would improve

13:40 schestowitz-TR2; I didn't see improvements

13:40 schestowitz-TR2; because he wanted us to change our wiki after he had bought it

13:40 schestowitz-TR2; LinuxJournal is now owned by him

13:40 schestowitz-TR2; Don't think they posted anything new in over a month

13:40 schestowitz-TR2; at least it's still online afaik

13:40 schestowitz-TR2; PIA did not keep it online

13:40 schestowitz-TR2; I asked Rick F

13:40 schestowitz-TR2; and he told me he had already left PIA

13:40 schestowitz-TR2; I was flattered that Logan and Lee came to our IRC channel due to concern over our views about their stuff

13:40 schestowitz-TR2; because they saw a potential for diplomacy

13:40 schestowitz-TR2; I think both meant well

13:40 schestowitz-TR2; Logan loved FOSS things, inc. SourceForce

13:40 schestowitz-TR2; Lee loved IRC

13:40 schestowitz-TR2; but they didn't know how to handle their "assets"

13:41 *Noisytoot (~noisytoot@tkbibjhmbkvb8.irc) has joined #boycottnovell

13:42 Techrights-sec; ack

13:42 Techrights-sec; Slashdot got sold off several times, each iteration to an even less

13:42 Techrights-sec; appropriate and capable owner.

13:42 Techrights-sec; The brand pretty much died with the first or second sale. The 2014 incident

13:42 Techrights-sec; was basically the final straw for the site and now it is just spamvertisement

13:42 Techrights-sec; pit.

13:42 Techrights-sec; PIA is no longer covering the same topics nor the same goals as before, it

13:42 Techrights-sec; almost looks like they've done a 180 as far as policy.

13:42 Techrights-sec; Rick left a very long time ago.

13:42 Techrights-sec; He got brigaded or something didn't he?

13:42 Techrights-sec; SourceForge was good back in its day.

13:42 Techrights-sec; It was imploded, almost on purpose, a good while ago.

13:44 schestowitz-TR2; don't know what drove rickv into mental breakdown

13:44 schestowitz-TR2; he wrote a blog post about what happened afteyrwards, not what had caused it

13:44 schestowitz-TR2; there must have been a trigger event

13:44 schestowitz-TR2; sourceforge (typo above) was where I put my projects 20 years ago

13:44 schestowitz-TR2; ans freshmeat

13:44 *Noisytoot has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s)

13:46 Techrights-sec; IIRC FreshMeat was for binaries and only a little about source code. I might

13:46 Techrights-sec; have used it a small handful of times when it was brand new but nothing since

13:46 Techrights-sec; then.

13:47 *Noisytoot (~noisytoot@tkbibjhmbkvb8.irc) has joined #boycottnovell

13:49 schestowitz-TR2; will TR capsule ba abck to front page updates without human intervention?

13:49 Techrights-sec; I hope so

13:49 Techrights-sec; checking

13:50 *Noisytoot has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s)

13:50 Techrights-sec; by the way something is really slow on that machine, is IPFS smashing the

13:50 Techrights-sec; IO on the USB stick?

13:52 schestowitz-TR2; even without ipfs,

13:52 schestowitz-TR2; the very fact it runs on usb makes it very slow

13:53 schestowitz-TR2; same with rianne's different usb brand, too

13:53 Techrights-sec; The shell seems responsive except when something has to happen on the disk.

13:53 Techrights-sec; Interesting. I have one here and don't get that slowness ever.

13:53 schestowitz-TR2; raspiOS?

13:54 *Noisytoot (~noisytoot@tkbibjhmbkvb8.irc) has joined #boycottnovell

13:55 Techrights-sec; Yes

13:55 Techrights-sec; Though the spare usually runs Devuan

13:55 Techrights-sec; the main one still runs Raspberry Pi OS


3 PM, September 11

15:24 schestowitz-TR2; rianne's clone is completed

15:24 schestowitz-TR2; she now runs the system from it, i.e. from microsd

15:24 schestowitz-TR2; next weekend we'll clone in reverse

15:24 schestowitz-TR2; so that usb is the backup

15:24 schestowitz-TR2; for the ipfs machine I'd rather than on USB

4 PM, September 11

16:11 Techrights-sec; well that took a long while to reboot

16:12 schestowitz-TR2; rianne's pi used to take about 5 mins to start

16:12 schestowitz-TR2; now it's a lot faster

16:12 schestowitz-TR2; by virtue of not booting from USB

16:12 schestowitz-TR2; Debian 11/raspiOS

16:13 Techrights-sec; I think a lot depends on what was updated

16:15 schestowitz-TR2; yuo give, you take

16:15 schestowitz-TR2; you win, you lose

16:15 schestowitz-TR2; today we had some of both

16:15 schestowitz-TR2; I'm waiting for the second clone to complete

16:15 schestowitz-TR2; than will back up tm-new and tr-new to some extent

16:15 schestowitz-TR2; the TR capsule's front page and feeds are still out of date,

16:15 schestowitz-TR2; but the latest stories do get added

16:17 Techrights-sec; ack

16:17 Techrights-sec; Strange, the updater script runs (and seems to be working at the moment)

16:17 Techrights-sec; However, there seem to be some connectivity issues from/to that machine

16:17 Techrights-sec; so perhaps it is tripping up the clumsy and inefficient scraping bot

16:25 Techrights-sec; Also serious I/O problems:

16:25 Techrights-sec; $ time ls -lh /tmp/lockfile-*

16:25 Techrights-sec; -rw-r--r-- 1 gemini gemini 0 Sep 11 16:06 /tmp/lockfile-gemini-cron-updater.sh

16:25 Techrights-sec; real 0m5.082s

16:25 Techrights-sec; What does 'iotop' report?

16:25 Techrights-sec; 'htop' shows ipfs daemon hogging a lot of CPU

16:25 Techrights-sec; That should be niced into oblivion.

16:26 schestowitz-TR2; I think it is already niced, but the underlying peril is USB

16:26 schestowitz-TR2; even with ipfs turned off it won't be a fast system

16:26 schestowitz-TR2; remember it is also cloning the whole OS at the moment

16:26 schestowitz-TR2; which adds to the strain

16:26 schestowitz-TR2; and even causes habitual gemini timeouts

16:26 schestowitz-TR2; backup will finish in 1-2 hours

16:29 Techrights-sec; ack

16:29 Techrights-sec; However it seems most unusually slow even for a RPi

16:29 Techrights-sec; Even a RPi 0 system is faster than that

16:29 Techrights-sec; I have one running from USB at the moment and it is quite snappy

16:29 schestowitz-TR2; that's what always happened when rianne's 400 or my 4 ran on USB

16:29 schestowitz-TR2; even on the blue port

16:29 schestowitz-TR2; even different makes of usb sticks

17:21 schestowitz-TR2; tr-new report:

17:21 schestowitz-TR2; 6 useer accounts gunzipped

17:21 schestowitz-TR2; biggest:

17:21 schestowitz-TR2; ipfs: 7.1gb

17:21 schestowitz-TR2; links 1.8gb

17:21 Techrights-sec; ack

17:21 schestowitz-TR2; we have up to date local copies of the big ones

17:21 schestowitz-TR2; I will copy across the other 4

17:22 schestowitz-TR2; total compression time about 4 minutes

17:22 schestowitz-TR2; I've not scripted it yet, will run it manually one more time before scripting that

17:28 schestowitz-TR2; done, now I can sleep better

17:28 schestowitz-TR2; I cannot offhand remember where the ipfs config files reside

17:28 schestowitz-TR2; but maybe that's for a later date

17:31 schestowitz-TR2; ---

17:31 schestowitz-TR2; btw, sometimes I realise:

17:31 schestowitz-TR2; back in the days the media was flooded with all sorts of nthings

17:31 schestowitz-TR2; inc. microsoft spam

17:31 schestowitz-TR2; with the demise of the media

17:31 schestowitz-TR2; even that microsoft spam is becoming more scarce

17:31 schestowitz-TR2; so anything we can do to propel the visibility of bsd and gnu/linux counts more in RELATIVE terms

17:31 schestowitz-TR2; the terrain has changed porofoundlky

17:46 psydroid3; microsoft shilling has also become scarce

17:47 psydroid3; no monetary incentive -> no more shilling

17:47 psydroid3; now it's more like damning with faint praise

17:48 psydroid3; "can't play all games with Wine/Proton, so you'd better install Windows"

17:48 psydroid3; still trying to insert the malware into the conversation like some child with an attention deficit

18:08 Techrights-sec; Ok

18:08 schestowitz-TR2; yeah

18:09 schestowitz-TR2; sounds like a banal observation

18:09 schestowitz-TR2; from me

18:09 schestowitz-TR2; but I remember 10-15 years ago

18:16 schestowitz-TR2; <techrights-news> Slashdot's editor posting SHIT again. Missing or skipping all the important "Linux" news, but now that AT&T blames "Linux" for malware (without even specifying how it gets there) it is seen as important https://it.slashdot.org/story/22/09/11/0314234/powerful-new-linux-malware-shikitega-uses-unusual-multi-stage-stealth

18:16 -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-it.slashdot.org | Powerful New Linux Malware Shikitega Uses Unusual Multi-Stage Stealth - Slashdot

18:29 Techrights-sec; I've lost track of what owns Slashdot these days and their marketing agreements

18:29 Techrights-sec; with M$

18:29 Techrights-sec; htop finally started, I had gotten distracted, it shows that the IPFS daemon

18:29 Techrights-sec; is not yet niced

18:31 schestowitz-TR2; ipfs is a daemon that spawns processes

18:31 schestowitz-TR2; I think something there was niced, but to no effect

18:31 schestowitz-TR2; anyway, let the backup finish first
