noon, February 12

12:34 Techrights-sec; excellent, the rate is picking up

12:34 Techrights-sec; Is there a convenient API for Drupal which the FSF could use easly to

12:34 Techrights-sec; extract content and convert to Gemtext?

12:34 Techrights-sec; IIRC TuxMachines is Drupal.

12:34 schestowitz-TR; sorry, was recording

12:35 schestowitz-TR; yes, I thought about tuxmachines, but with almost 170k pages and not much original among them I would not consider gemini for it

12:35 schestowitz-TR; those pages link to http

12:35 schestowitz-TR; I do not know of drupal-specific gemini tools and mind you, I watch these tools closely to see new things

12:36 schestowitz-TR; re distro.tube at gemini

12:36 schestowitz-TR; for half a year I've repeatedly tried to access it

12:36 schestowitz-TR; hoping that DT would restore the service/capsule

12:36 schestowitz-TR; seems he took too much

12:36 schestowitz-TR; like distrotoot

12:36 schestowitz-TR; and it now cutting down

12:36 schestowitz-TR; maybe gulagtube also deranks him

12:36 schestowitz-TR; I did not check

12:37 schestowitz-TR; as I cite him as yewtu.be

12:37 schestowitz-TR; of odysee when you send me the corresponding URLs

12:37 schestowitz-TR; odysee is its OWN jar of worms

12:43 Techrights-sec; ack

13:16 *u-amarsh04 (~amarsh04@7hnksqkvhrvj2.irc) has joined #boycottnovell

13:34 schestowitz-TR; now running piclone ont he rasp400, usb to microsd

13:34 schestowitz-TR; that backup will also contain all the gemini pages, even though the system accoun

13:34 schestowitz-TR; t "gemini" was removed

13:34 schestowitz-TR; so a bit of an insurance policy, given that rianne is not likely to

13:34 schestowitz-TR; use up 32gb of storage anyway

13:34 Techrights-sec; odysee only works with an account because you have to spend a week or two

13:34 Techrights-sec; blocking cranks and whackdoodle accounts before you start to see anythig of

13:34 Techrights-sec; either use or interest in the UI

13:34 Techrights-sec; The experience with Drupal might help give tips to the FSF about how t

13:34 Techrights-sec; they can export to Gemtext. TM has nothing to gain from a Gemini presence,

13:34 Techrights-sec; from what I can see. But it has given familiarity with Drupal.

13:38 schestowitz-TR; i have just tralled to the front page of odysee

13:38 schestowitz-TR; ido not have an ccount there

13:38 schestowitz-TR; it is not much distateful content

13:38 schestowitz-TR; not judging by the front page

13:38 schestowitz-TR; no worse than gulagtube

13:38 schestowitz-TR; in gulagtube you feel like they follow you around and profiule you

13:38 schestowitz-TR; maube odysee does the same,but it feels generic

13:38 schestowitz-TR; the interface does not feel like a web page

13:38 schestowitz-TR; and videos are not video files per se

13:38 schestowitz-TR; so that kind of suck

13:38 schestowitz-TR; *sucks

13:46 Techrights-sec; ack

13:46 Techrights-sec; As mentioned the majority needs to be culled using blocking heavily in order

13:46 Techrights-sec; for it to be useful.

13:46 schestowitz-TR; i have just attempted to play some videos

13:46 schestowitz-TR; as in the past some would not even load

13:46 schestowitz-TR; I don't know exactly how lbry works

13:46 schestowitz-TR; but to me it misses the point that

13:46 schestowitz-TR; 1) people should self-host and

13:46 schestowitz-TR; 2)KEEP IT SIMPLE

13:46 schestowitz-TR; spinning off loated shit like mastodon will cause complication, like new PHP

13:46 schestowitz-TR; versions and database going all w0nky

13:47 Techrights-sec; It sucks, but it sucks slightly less than Youtube. :/

13:50 schestowitz-TR; If they do not have a business model and are riding someone's bank account,

13:50 schestowitz-TR; as joindiaspora did,

13:50 schestowitz-TR; tnen

13:50 schestowitz-TR; 1) they will turn evil

13:50 schestowitz-TR; 2) they will shut down

13:50 schestowitz-TR; so you often need to assess whether they are sustinable

13:50 schestowitz-TR; when I looked into them in 2020 it was LBRY

13:50 schestowitz-TR; where is LBRY as a domain today?

13:50 schestowitz-TR; this is far too volatile and new

13:50 schestowitz-TR; LunK00k put lots of stuff there

13:50 schestowitz-TR; and shilled them to death

13:50 schestowitz-TR; now EVEN HIS RANT ABOUT THEM is offline

13:50 schestowitz-TR; I spent ages trying to retreive it,

13:50 schestowitz-TR; but odysee is JS

13:51 schestowitz-TR; so gulag and IA has no copies

13:51 schestowitz-TR; *had

13:51 schestowitz-TR; only thing >I had left was poortions in TR Daily Links

13:51 schestowitz-TR; So I was not anble to explin what wernt wrong there

13:51 schestowitz-TR; ther reason itself vanished


2 PM, February 12

14:03 Techrights-sec; The business model is crytpocurrency. The videos are just a front.

14:03 Techrights-sec; I figure option #2 sometime.

14:03 Techrights-sec; Videos are ephemeral anyway.

14:12 Techrights-sec; """

14:12 Techrights-sec; Usenet died for four reasons:

14:12 Techrights-sec; It got spammed to death.

14:12 Techrights-sec; It lost control over its culture, and that culture was crucial to its functio

14:12 Techrights-sec; ning.

14:12 Techrights-sec; It was too problematic for ISPs (or others) to provide ready access to it: sp

14:13 Techrights-sec; am, harassment, child pornography, and copyright violations all posed massive con

14:13 Techrights-sec; cerns.

14:13 Techrights-sec; There was no viable business model for providing the service.

15:30 schestowitz-TR; I know you have not played around with piclone

15:31 schestowitz-TR; but I think they host only in shithub

15:31 schestowitz-TR; and there are some bugs

15:31 schestowitz-TR; it's not something they give much love to

15:31 schestowitz-TR; it neeeds to run with a bunch of options

15:31 schestowitz-TR; and if run from the CLI you see the rough edges

15:31 schestowitz-TR; at the moment I run it over ssh with x-forwarding

15:31 schestowitz-TR; it's GUI only

15:31 schestowitz-TR; so I cannot run it in a screen session

15:31 schestowitz-TR; this is progressing (rianne's machine)

15:31 schestowitz-TR; but may take another 3-5 hours

15:31 schestowitz-TR; that includes all the oibjects that were in other accounts although I deleted

15:31 schestowitz-TR; the accounts and disabled all the syst5emd services that are not needed

15:31 schestowitz-TR; bottom line: piclone can be powerful, and can be very simple to use

15:31 schestowitz-TR; but under the hood it's a bit crude

15:31 schestowitz-TR; yes, I saw the source code last time

15:31 schestowitz-TR; when trying to assess when the progress bar was not progressing for line 4 hours

18:16 schestowitz-TR; the gemini etc. server is now halfway through making a complerte snapshot

18:16 schestowitz-TR; atm I work on part 50 for tomorrow, epo

18:16 schestowitz-TR; today and tomorrow I will asssess whether to delete some or all gulag noise feeds

18:33 schestowitz-TR; i really love how the pis are working

18:33 schestowitz-TR; I also love how easy they are to offload to a fingernail-sized thing

18:33 schestowitz-TR; I wonder,

18:33 schestowitz-TR; back on the ol' days we had sueme linux

18:33 schestowitz-TR; we could, in principle, convert the nginx/gemini cambo into a .osi

18:33 schestowitz-TR; one that lets people surf the site 'offline'

18:33 schestowitz-TR; using gemini or http

18:33 schestowitz-TR; the logistics would not be hard

18:33 schestowitz-TR; *.iso

18:36 schestowitz-TR; alternatively, a tool COULD be developed (I know of no wuch tool)

18:36 schestowitz-TR; which converts a gemini basedir into a surfable thing like Xanadu

18:36 schestowitz-TR; and make it downloadable as a compress archive for offline access or

18:36 schestowitz-TR; fopr longterm preservation

21:52 Techrights-sec; it would be easy enough to have a tarball of any Gemini site. Gemtext is

21:52 Techrights-sec; highly compressible, too.
