06:33 schestowitz-TR; just tried that
06:33 schestowitz-TR; also finished repairing db
06:33 schestowitz-TR; this time it was a lot of work
06:33 schestowitz-TR; er really need to move the site soon
06:34 Techrights-sec; any word on the new VM ?
06:38 schestowitz-TR; I've just prodded again\
06:38 schestowitz-TR; gtg in a moment
06:38 schestowitz-TR; I was posting links and doind 4 things at the same time
06:38 schestowitz-TR; inc. db repair
06:38 schestowitz-TR; then forgot my thought/one todo item
06:38 schestowitz-TR; not a huge deal
06:38 schestowitz-TR; it was not critical
06:38 schestowitz-TR; I was also checking the TR backups
06:38 schestowitz-TR; almost all of them are fine
06:38 schestowitz-TR; almost
06:38 Techrights-sec; it does two variations, one HTML one Atom/XML:

08:38 Techrights-sec; otr: probably a paid troll
08:38 schestowitz-TR; we seem to have a new troll in #techrights
08:38 schestowitz-TR; I am probing the motivations at the moment
08:39 schestowitz-TR; def. a troll, I can see now...
08:39 schestowitz-TR; will try to handle without mutes, just ignoring/mocking (like herr sixel)
08:39 schestowitz-TR; you can see scrollback if curious
08:39 schestowitz-TR; anyway, mjg is really under fire
08:39 schestowitz-TR; and I don't have to lift a finger
08:41 Techrights-sec; at least that is an improved situation
08:41 Techrights-sec; mjg helped cause the current situation which is now beginning to manifest
08:41 Techrights-sec; lenovo is the first of what will likely be many
08:41 Techrights-sec; or all
08:45 schestowitz-TR; as both dfc and I noted some hours ago in irc
08:45 schestowitz-TR; mjg silent...
08:45 schestowitz-TR; he wants to be seen as hero calling on lenovo to spot this
08:45 schestowitz-TR; after he did the damage
08:45 schestowitz-TR; i thinbk there is a term for this kind of behavious
08:45 schestowitz-TR; like you declare a war
08:45 schestowitz-TR; and then call for peace
08:45 schestowitz-TR; f* fsf tbh, for somehow giving him an open door to board and award
08:45 schestowitz-TR; how the fuck it happened?
08:45 schestowitz-TR; I think the corporate patronage
08:45 schestowitz-TR; mjg was their mole
08:45 schestowitz-TR; reminds me of eff shilling microsoft and giving AWARDS to the Microsoft privacy abusers
08:45 schestowitz-TR; so f* eff too!
08:45 schestowitz-TR; they\re not my frienbds
08:45 schestowitz-TR; apropos, you saw what I wrote about phroonix 2 hours ago
08:45 schestowitz-TR; f* him too
08:45 schestowitz-TR; amd = pluton, lenovo windows-only
08:45 Techrights-sec; :(
08:45 Techrights-sec; attention spans being what they are with most folks, it needs to be brought
08:45 Techrights-sec; up again and again that he was integral in causing this
08:45 Techrights-sec; if mjg joins deicaza or poettering, it would be no surprise.
08:45 Techrights-sec; ack
08:45 Techrights-sec; :(
08:46 Techrights-sec; attention spans being what they are with most folks, it needs to be brought
08:46 Techrights-sec; up again and again that he was integral in causing this
08:46 Techrights-sec; if mjg joins deicaza or poettering, it would be no surprise.
08:46 Techrights-sec; ack
08:46 schestowitz-TR; contrary to what microbell said last week, Mirosoft is NOT hiring
08:46 schestowitz-TR; maybe in exceptions it does
08:46 schestowitz-TR; I heard it from inside Microsoft
08:46 schestowitz-TR; they're in pain
08:50 schestowitz-TR; ----
08:50 schestowitz-TR; a) wait till CAs turns out to be the same
08:50 schestowitz-TR; b) same for sigstore
08:50 schestowitz-TR; I will have the last laugh!
08:50 schestowitz-TR; c) I try not to get angry over this, we wrote a lot on this subject already
08:50 schestowitz-TR; d) more EPO series coming later today, we have a LOT of good material about the "fucking president"
08:52 schestowitz-TR; ---
08:52 schestowitz-TR; social control media is a flamestorm that can redirect anger in an instance
08:52 schestowitz-TR; and make activism hard becayuse
08:52 schestowitz-TR; 1) compsusre
08:52 schestowitz-TR; 2) focus
08:52 schestowitz-TR; 3) you start insulting and cursing at people instead of focusing on the issues
08:52 schestowitz-TR; next company meeting in august, I just want colsure for this, but they don't want to pay compensation easily, so they will drag and drag
08:53 Techrights-sec; brigading is one of the problems which social control media is designed to enable
08:55 schestowitz-TR; maybe not originally designed for it
08:55 schestowitz-TR; that aside, a querstion worth studying
08:55 schestowitz-TR; like "highlighting" other users
08:55 schestowitz-TR; or "trending"
08:55 schestowitz-TR; I think those were added a lot later
08:55 schestowitz-TR; after it was no longer chronological timeline
08:55 schestowitz-TR; anyway, glad you too gave up on mastodon
08:55 schestowitz-TR; I see more people jumping on the badwagon of jumping OFF the badwagon
08:55 schestowitz-TR; I hope it'll implode like myspace
08:55 schestowitz-TR; FB will just be "meta"... something...
08:57 Techrights-sec; not originally but quickly optimized for it
08:57 Techrights-sec; mastodon is almost as much of a waste of time as twitter, and for most of
08:57 Techrights-sec; the same reasons
09:00 schestowitz-TR; crude thoughts:
09:00 schestowitz-TR; joins identica 2009
09:00 schestowitz-TR; did not want to
09:00 schestowitz-TR; in irc, trmanco convinced me
09:00 schestowitz-TR; added twitter as "shadow" later
09:00 schestowitz-TR; posted via ping.fm IIRC, to both
09:00 schestowitz-TR; changed software to some adobe thing later, then choquok (KDE/Qt)
09:00 schestowitz-TR; it started gaining impact
09:00 schestowitz-TR; fast-forward 2019
09:00 schestowitz-TR; after making a lot of mess in the world twitter, joindiaspora and mastodon already dying
09:00 schestowitz-TR; fewer active users
09:00 schestowitz-TR; a lot less traffic
09:00 schestowitz-TR; people still assume it's 2014
09:00 schestowitz-TR; and won't let go because of addiction
09:00 Techrights-sec; most of what the social control media sites have going for them
09:00 Techrights-sec; is 1) the network effect, and 2) the misperception that it is a communications
09:00 Techrights-sec; medium
09:01 schestowitz-TR; for quite a few years I had an autorepondoer saying contact me via identica
09:01 schestowitz-TR; some relatives even created accounts there for it
09:01 schestowitz-TR; later changed to irc
09:10 Techrights-sec; there was a bit of news coverage for a while about how the UI was designed
09:10 Techrights-sec; and refined to be highly addictive and, at the same time, unproductive
09:24 *Despatche has quit (Quit: Read error: Connection reset by deer)
09:27 Techrights-sec; the "smartphone" "apps" are useless for finding and showing things;
09:27 Techrights-sec; lots of people have tried to show me stuff and end up just flickign around
09:27 Techrights-sec; almost aimlessly in hopes of finding what it was they thought they stored there
09:27 Techrights-sec; sometimes they find it after a while but never easily; worst most are under
09:27 Techrights-sec; the wrong assumption that the object (e.g. photo) they are searching for is
09:27 Techrights-sec; on their phone. There should be scare quote on "on" and "their" because it's
09:27 Techrights-sec; on a server and the phone is only held by them but operated by large companies
09:27 Techrights-sec; maemo was ok but that's a big reason why the board (m$) brought in Elop to
09:27 Techrights-sec; kill off the compan
09:27 schestowitz-TR; when alll you have is a "back buttom" and clown it's not meant to empoer the user in any way
09:27 schestowitz-TR; imagine running techrights from a tablet or phone
09:27 schestowitz-TR; btw, rianne used to post to tuxmahciens from a tablet
09:27 schestowitz-TR; it was like 4 times slower
09:27 schestowitz-TR; even switching between windows is a hassle
09:27 schestowitz-TR; nokia tried to fix this in maemo
09:28 Techrights-sec; By the way, is there a Patreon or Stripe account for Tux Machines?
09:30 schestowitz-TR; no, and outsourcing to such third parties seems risky to me
09:30 schestowitz-TR; maybe in the future we'll figure something out
09:30 schestowitz-TR; assuming only rianne works in the company and we barely make ends meet
09:30 schestowitz-TR; or maybe we'll take "patron" money from Gulag in exchange for inserting some MJG into the board [sic]
09:30 schestowitz-TR; to oust me ;-)
09:30 Techrights-sec; Some method for collecting donations ought to be set up.
10:15 Techrights-sec; about.shtml and index.shtml are updated on the mockup
10:23 schestowitz-TR; just finishing off epo stuff
10:23 schestowitz-TR; in drafts now
10:23 schestowitz-TR; I'm trying to weed out mistakes
10:29 Techrights-sec; ack
10:31 schestowitz-TR; nice work on the front page and rss feed
10:31 schestowitz-TR; if pageloads are fast, then I suppose full text feeds are not as critical
10:31 schestowitz-TR; did you reuse a bit of my shell script?
10:31 schestowitz-TR; \
10:31 schestowitz-TR; it was only a prototype anyway
10:31 schestowitz-TR; like ways to determine time last modified
10:31 schestowitz-TR; but I guess the db overrised that method
10:32 schestowitz-TR; *rides
10:33 Techrights-sec; thanks, it still needs /lots/ of polish though
10:33 Techrights-sec; just some of the pieces not the script itself
10:33 Techrights-sec; yes there is a lot of change and discarding
10:33 Techrights-sec; I accidentally deleted a whole script yesterday as I was going to back it up
10:33 Techrights-sec; it took about 2/3 as long to do it again from scratch, but is probably short
10:33 Techrights-sec; er and more efficient this time around
10:33 Techrights-sec; It is possible to add in a last-modified time, too.
10:33 schestowitz-TR; (off-topic: i quite like it when people call me a microsoft hater or say I am obssessed and then go to techrights
10:33 schestowitz-TR; and it's aall about corruption not related to Microsoft; which discredited the ad hom very fast)
10:34 Techrights-sec; Can you trouble Rianne to take a look and give some ideas or feedback about
10:34 Techrights-sec; the mock up?
10:34 Techrights-sec; The system does not have inotify / incron so the update has to be run manually.
10:34 Techrights-sec; tm-add-entry-sql.pl;
10:37 schestowitz-TR; calling rianne from the kitchen (just had breakfast)
10:37 schestowitz-TR; btw, nodes will def. get updated with followup, buming them up upon update would be good, maybe latest addition to node
10:37 schestowitz-TR; shown on top
10:37 schestowitz-TR; we can extend all this to figure out how to best edit events and ongoing stories
10:38 Techrights-sec; tm-extract-posts-sql.pl -f -v -b /var/www/tuxmachines.org/htdocs/n/ ;
10:38 Techrights-sec; navigation is still missing but I'd like to hear about the core first
10:38 Techrights-sec; Parkinson's Law applies to CMS design and scripting in general, severely
10:38 Techrights-sec; ok
10:45 schestowitz-TR; hang on..
10:45 schestowitz-TR; I have just
10:45 schestowitz-TR; a) shown front page
10:45 schestowitz-TR; b) show how we add a node (android)
10:45 schestowitz-TR; c) tried to run an opdate
10:45 schestowitz-TR; tried to open individual "node" (did not succeed)
10:45 schestowitz-TR; rss has validation error atm
10:45 schestowitz-TR; but she is OK with it
10:45 schestowitz-TR; I told her she'd run it with rianne option
10:47 Techrights-sec; here is the workflow the last three steps would be automated with incron:
10:47 Techrights-sec; workflow-notes.text
10:47 Techrights-sec; ok
10:48 schestowitz-TR; running the commants,it takes less than 1 sec on the SBC
10:48 schestowitz-TR; on the server it would be faster
10:48 schestowitz-TR; I guess post length is not the bottleneck
10:48 Techrights-sec; ok new bugs
10:48 Techrights-sec; yes it would be faster on a real computer, the post lenght would not affect
10:48 Techrights-sec; that speed
10:59 schestowitz-TR; great job, I like it
10:59 schestowitz-TR; as logn as perl is around and some basic tools like sqlite the technical debt will be minimal
10:59 schestowitz-TR; even repairing the site should not be hard
10:59 schestowitz-TR; backups would probably be just rsync
10:59 schestowitz-TR; tuxmachines almost never has any filkes uploaded
10:59 schestowitz-TR; for TR we caN CREATE A WHOLE NEW irc SECTION WITH AUTOMATION IN it
10:59 schestowitz-TR; sorry, caps
10:59 schestowitz-TR; wordpress should not be needed for a secttion such as this (ipfs already has its own section, videos too)
10:59 schestowitz-TR; working on epo articles atm
11:00 Techrights-sec; sqlite will be around and perl5 will eventually transition to perl7 but
11:00 Techrights-sec; it might be possible to take the time to redo the individual scripts
11:00 Techrights-sec; later as python or raky
11:00 Techrights-sec; ^aku
11:00 Techrights-sec; ^raku
11:01 schestowitz-TR; "old" tuxmachines can just be restored with 'factory restore' dDB dump
11:01 schestowitz-TR; if it has issues
11:02 Techrights-sec; btw which external feeds should it show besides 9to5Linux ?
11:02 Techrights-sec; yes
11:02 Techrights-sec; btw which external feeds should it show besides 9to5Linux ?
11:03 schestowitz-TR; if that's for 'padding' the sidebars (or similar), we can use opml files later
11:03 schestowitz-TR; or copy across the feeds from "old" TM
11:03 schestowitz-TR; those can be good for SEO reasons
11:04 schestowitz-TR; stuffing more words in a page about a short node
11:09 schestowitz-TR; noting to self: on TR we can delay the same, starting with new section for IRC posts
11:09 schestowitz-TR; no need for social control media "cards" (image previews), it is a dying medium anyway
11:09 schestowitz-TR; the github stuff or other "leaks" can maybe be adapted as well for a static cms style
11:09 schestowitz-TR; but I don't know how yet...

13:45 schestowitz-TR; all of it
13:45 schestowitz-TR; before FS repair
13:45 schestowitz-TR; just in case
13:45 schestowitz-TR; tons of critical assets there (more info and context in irc)
13:45 Techrights-sec; good idea
13:45 schestowitz-TR; regarding experiemntce with xfs_repair
13:46 schestowitz; <schestowitz[TR]> ah, that's whyt
13:46 schestowitz; <Ariadne> hmm i see
13:46 schestowitz; <Ariadne> actually, i think this is not so bad.
13:46 schestowitz; <schestowitz[TR]> phew
13:46 schestowitz; <Ariadne> this xfs log notice is old
13:46 schestowitz; <Ariadne> so i guess repairing the xfs filesystem will fix it
13:46 schestowitz; <schestowitz[TR]> since january 6th (yes, we checked exact date) some backup gz files were failing
13:46 schestowitz; <schestowitz[TR]> in april we started having tm db issues, it's the only db hosted locally
13:46 schestowitz; <Ariadne> yeah that's when we did a reboot on the SAN
13:46 schestowitz; <Ariadne> i think
13:46 schestowitz; <Ariadne> okay
13:46 schestowitz; <Ariadne> well nbd
13:46 schestowitz; <Ariadne> i'll fix it
13:46 schestowitz; <schestowitz[TR]> at one point one file became empty file, but that was back in april, seen no such issue since
13:46 schestowitz; <Ariadne> tomorrow night
13:46 schestowitz; <schestowitz[TR]> the san reboot was february
13:46 schestowitz; <Ariadne> oh, was it?
13:46 schestowitz; <Ariadne> okay
13:46 schestowitz; <Ariadne> well
13:46 schestowitz; <schestowitz[TR]> yeah, I checked the dates
13:46 schestowitz; <Ariadne> easy enough to fix
13:46 schestowitz; <schestowitz[TR]> :D
13:46 schestowitz; <schestowitz[TR]> I was worried
13:46 schestowitz; <schestowitz[TR]> even scanned the sizes of all files
