04:44 Techrights-sec; deduplicated yesterday's HTML IRC logs


5 AM, May 13

05:07 Techrights-sec; does irclog2html.py have UTF-8 problems?

05:07 Techrights-sec; ^scratch that. looking elsewhere

05:07 Techrights-sec; fixed

05:08 schestowitz-TR; gm

05:08 schestowitz-TR; I may have overslept a bit

05:08 schestowitz-TR; mild headache

05:08 schestowitz-TR; not de to stress

05:08 schestowitz-TR; there was no stress at all

05:08 Techrights-sec; gm

05:08 Techrights-sec; np

05:08 Techrights-sec; stress from yesterday? light workout usually helps

05:08 Techrights-sec; good

05:13 schestowitz-TR; today the plan is to cycle and bring back food 'downhill'

05:13 schestowitz-TR; because it should be nice and sunny

05:13 schestowitz-TR; and I want to be out more

05:13 schestowitz-TR; I should stiill be able to produce a lot

05:13 schestowitz-TR; this is consideered exercise

05:13 schestowitz-TR; I need ti kearn where I can shave off time, other than sleep

05:13 schestowitz-TR; sleeping too little tends to cause headache after a bit

05:13 schestowitz-TR; and the only way to make them go away is make up the hours

05:14 Techrights-sec; nice

05:14 Techrights-sec; sleep and exercise cannot be skimped on, food sometimes depending on the balance

05:14 schestowitz-TR; food is not the issue and we still find good prices

05:14 schestowitz-TR; that might come in handy is we halve our working hours

05:14 schestowitz-TR; *if

05:24 Techrights-sec; ack

05:24 Techrights-sec; should the Misinformation/Disinformation heading become

05:24 Techrights-sec; Misinformation/Disinformation/Propaganda ?

05:24 schestowitz-TR; I think that would overlap "Astro>Turf

05:25 Techrights-sec; ok, should Propaganda be explicitly in Astroturf ? there is kind of a grey area

05:25 Techrights-sec; between the astroturf and disinformation some stuff falls into both

05:25 Techrights-sec; it's been a growing problem for some weeks

05:26 schestowitz-TR; Maybe we should refactor these and make more categs

05:26 schestowitz-TR; like misinformation

05:26 schestowitz-TR; being separate from prpopagnada/disinof

05:26 schestowitz-TR; and politics being its own categ

05:27 Techrights-sec; ok

05:28 schestowitz-TR; one area of improvement, which I don;t think would affect any existing code, is dynamic insec at

05:28 schestowitz-TR; the top for html, it still uses an old static one

05:28 schestowitz-TR; in lagrance it can have bookmarks for the page, based on the headings

05:29 Techrights-sec; yes the head can be changed. So an index with internal links would be helpful?

05:30 schestowitz-TR; currently it has in it categs that used to be always occupied, but it was speculative

05:30 schestowitz-TR; around 2008

05:31 Techrights-sec; Oh, perhaps it could be an index generated based on which categories actually

05:31 Techrights-sec; have content?

05:33 schestowitz-TR; yes, but I never went as far as implementing thisa

05:33 schestowitz-TR; and until years ago the background still says "boycott novell" in dimmed colours

05:33 schestowitz-TR; some sites tried to imitate these daily links

05:33 schestowitz-TR; before realising it was too much work to maintain on a daily basis

05:33 schestowitz-TR; for us it's part of the frowl looking for topic to cover

05:35 Techrights-sec; yes

05:37 schestowitz-TR; it also does, in general, makes you a better informed citizen

05:38 schestowitz-TR; which can help you avoid many perils in life

05:38 schestowitz-TR; (rianne watches "too much" gulagtube... mostly harmful channels... but the

05:38 schestowitz-TR; "recommended" over time steer her towards clickbair utter junk)

05:38 schestowitz-TR; *harmless I meant

05:38 schestowitz-TR; not harmful

05:38 schestowitz-TR; gulagtube steers her towards the harmful ones

05:38 Techrights-sec; yes youtube pushes constantly, there is always a risk of getting warn down

05:38 Techrights-sec; I use it too much (meaning still even at all) but nearly 100% of the time

05:38 Techrights-sec; it is when following a specific external link to a specific video decided

05:38 Techrights-sec; in advance

05:40 schestowitz-TR; I have to lookm away or almost shuit my eyes if I enter the front page to enter some search phrase

05:40 schestowitz-TR; this means their interface is neither useful nor healthy

05:40 schestowitz-TR; twitter is a lot like this too

05:40 schestowitz-TR; "I come here ONLY to do X"

05:40 schestowitz-TR; "stop messing with my head"

05:40 Techrights-sec; yes I don't look at twitter at all

05:40 Techrights-sec; if it is like youtube it is hard to avoid seeing the thumbnails for the

05:40 Techrights-sec; "recommendations"

05:42 schestowitz-TR; in twitter and gulagtube you need to place the browser window about 300pixels to the outside of the raster

05:42 schestowitz-TR; depending on screen resolution as they have a "fluid" design

05:42 schestowitz-TR; so it's not even predictable

05:42 schestowitz-TR; in old rekonq I wrote some rules to just eliminate those sections

05:42 schestowitz-TR; but browsers and sites keep changing

05:45 schestowitz-TR; you know they go too far where you have the digital equiv of "what did I come to the kitchen for??"

05:46 Techrights-sec; it is that way on purpose. when that happens I close the tab to avoid

05:46 Techrights-sec; playing into their trap

05:47 schestowitz-TR; invidious reproduced a little bit of this behavious (sidebar, front page)

05:47 schestowitz-TR; but it's free software

05:47 schestowitz-TR; though I did not see instances thst change this default behaviour

05:52 Techrights-sec; yes

05:52 Techrights-sec; I think I see a way to do the Table of Contents

05:52 Techrights-sec; It would use an id attribute in each heading and then harvest those from

05:52 Techrights-sec; the non-empty nodes

05:54 schestowitz-TR; that would be an improvement

05:54 schestowitz-TR; iirc, in gemtext the section with these gets lumped into the main text

05:54 schestowitz-TR; an even super-duper version will also count <li> under a section, somehow, then add a number in

05:54 schestowitz-TR; brackets

05:59 schestowitz-TR; IME, many publish the same crap over and over again


6 AM, May 13

06:00 schestowitz-TR; with small tweaks of newer bits tucked in

06:00 schestowitz-TR; to game the system

06:00 schestowitz-TR; publcation and research are not the same thing

06:00 schestowitz-TR; it's like assessing a workout based on number of reps

06:00 schestowitz-TR; or a relationship based on total income

06:01 schestowitz-TR; (few people even bother readon these papers in full, lecturing means greater audience than

06:01 schestowitz-TR; some paper with 100 views of the abstract and 10 views of the actual paper, which month later is

06:01 schestowitz-TR; "old")

06:02 Techrights-sec; looking

06:03 schestowitz-TR; I'd rather do NOC than academia

06:03 schestowitz-TR; I used to do both in tandem

06:03 schestowitz-TR; one was vastly easier

06:03 Techrights-sec; yes there are few decent ones mostly just filler

06:04 schestowitz-TR; what I do not like is, if they ask me to do project work and programming for ther salary of NOX

06:04 schestowitz-TR; that's what we thought would happen

06:04 schestowitz-TR; and so we decided to leave

06:04 schestowitz-TR; but not it is negotable

06:04 schestowitz-TR; *now

06:09 Techrights-sec; project work is another price category

06:11 schestowitz-TR; but wait :-)

06:11 schestowitz-TR; it's also weekend/overnight

06:11 schestowitz-TR; while there is potential for distraction like alerts or calls

06:11 schestowitz-TR; to me, noc means noc

06:11 schestowitz-TR; you want projects/coding?

06:11 schestowitz-TR; send me another contract

06:11 schestowitz-TR; I am being to be "on-call" and write a short report and triage things

06:11 schestowitz-TR; sometimes invetigate or intervene

06:12 Techrights-sec; yep

06:12 schestowitz-TR; by intervention I mean soemtimes like "restart jboss" if some alert seen and can be confirmed as true positive

06:18 Techrights-sec; ack

06:18 schestowitz-TR; "if you are so smart, how come your salary is like this?"

06:18 schestowitz-TR; -Person who works 60-70 hours a week, grilling a person who carely works 6 a week

06:21 Techrights-sec; ack

06:21 Techrights-sec; it's a common misperception

06:22 schestowitz-TR; (I am referring to siblings here)

06:22 schestowitz-TR; (fwiw, my barely educated mother assumes people study things just for a job, i.e. for money)

06:22 schestowitz-TR; (thankfully my dad, who never went to university, is not that shallow, so I'm not on my own)

06:22 schestowitz-TR; regarding exercise, since I open up to personal things atm, lately I used he stairs a lot

06:22 schestowitz-TR; sets are sprints to uppser floor, sometimes with shotput ball at hand

06:22 schestowitz-TR; it's good cardio interval training (downstairs=interval)

06:26 schestowitz-TR; psychological life hack

06:26 schestowitz-TR; put backpack on

06:26 schestowitz-TR; make the mission to make the workout proftable

06:26 schestowitz-TR; by carrying discounts back

06:26 schestowitz-TR; then count the savings as profit

06:26 schestowitz-TR; if there is a lot to carry, and you sweat, that's "good workout"

06:26 schestowitz-TR; when we still went to the gym (we stopped around May 20 2021) we'd use the trip back home

06:26 schestowitz-TR; to hunt for food

06:26 schestowitz-TR; sometimes also discounted things for the home like a 10 pound wine rack (original was like 50 pounds)

06:26 schestowitz-TR; we bought so many things in those years and can now use the many spares for decades, or use them as gifts

06:26 schestowitz-TR; if you can save 200 a month on food, think of that as two work shifts (16 hours) you need not do

06:31 schestowitz-TR; I hope current discount rates last

06:31 schestowitz-TR; we can still find those

06:32 schestowitz-TR; but the searching has to extend further

06:32 schestowitz-TR; like casting a wider net for the same "catch"

06:32 schestowitz-TR; igf you save 1000-2000 a year, just by shopping "smarter", then means less labour is required

06:32 schestowitz-TR; labour => capital => "stored labour" (desposits)

06:32 schestowitz-TR; spendings/income ratio= pace of desposits

06:32 schestowitz-TR; the goal is not to overdo them, like falling into the "game" people shame you into

06:32 schestowitz-TR; which is likely harder - LOL - if you don't know how to access social control media inc. GulagTube

06:32 schestowitz-TR; GulagTube became so bad that even without the web interface you would get far too many ads

06:32 schestowitz-TR; for now, librewold zaps them all (I think)

06:32 schestowitz-TR; better ask rianne, I typically just use yewtu.be

06:33 Techrights-sec; yes

06:38 schestowitz-TR; Climate change => politicised

06:38 schestowitz-TR; Undoing unwanted conception => politicised

06:38 schestowitz-TR; what next?

06:41 Techrights-sec; everything is politicized,

06:41 Techrights-sec; the election committee which made illegal deals with Iran to bring the world

06:41 Techrights-sec; the Reagan administration turned that aspect of health care into a political

06:41 Techrights-sec; footbal

06:41 Techrights-sec; football

06:45 *DaemonFC has quit (Quit: Leaving)

06:45 schestowitz-TR; speaking of which, this weekend "our team" (200m from us) can secure its season win

06:45 schestowitz-TR; cementing the lead

06:46 schestowitz-TR; we'll cycle past the stadium, later

06:46 schestowitz-TR; aftter rianne finishes gardening

06:46 schestowitz-TR; cultivating the soil for the neighbours' cats

06:46 schestowitz-TR; to poo in

06:46 schestowitz-TR; "our team" is currently tanked 2ns in the world

06:46 schestowitz-TR; *ranked

06:46 schestowitz-TR; after bayern munich

06:46 schestowitz-TR; when we moved here it was barely in top 10

06:46 schestowitz-TR; but the oil tycoons from UAE sank lots of money into it

06:46 schestowitz-TR; same way KSA does now with NUFC

06:46 -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-May 12, 2022 - CounterPunch.org

06:46 Techrights-sec; KSA appears to be on a reputation laundering mission, and getting too much

06:46 Techrights-sec; complicity in covering up past and present crimes

06:51 schestowitz-TR; that appeals to the masses who worship money, no matter how it's made and what follows it

06:51 schestowitz-TR; like war and stuf

06:51 schestowitz-TR; you cannot deny it, sportwashing works

06:51 schestowitz-TR; and places/businesses that get this money do benefit

06:51 schestowitz-TR; but the problem is, it perpetuates a cycle

06:51 schestowitz-TR; where many are in fact the losers

06:51 schestowitz-TR; currently we try to lower the bills

06:51 schestowitz-TR; esp. energy

06:51 schestowitz-TR; only exception is PCs, but they are all laptops with savings (modes) turned on

06:51 Techrights-sec; many worship only money

06:51 schestowitz-TR; 8 working 24/7, mine provide enough light so the bulbs are rarely needed

06:51 schestowitz-TR; and in winter some heat too is produced if I can seal off a room and then body heat too factors in

06:51 schestowitz-TR; in winter I might go in the same room as rianne as heat is easier to conserve this way

06:51 schestowitz-TR; it took me less than one houir to move everything here, I clocked it ntentionally

06:53 schestowitz-TR; people who worship ONLY money (or mostly money) are playing a stupid sport

06:53 schestowitz-TR; and later in life they realise that you cannot bring that money with you to "heaven"

06:53 schestowitz-TR; nor can you buy youth or health with it

06:53 schestowitz-TR; doing your hobbies when you are 67 is dumb

06:53 schestowitz-TR; some can barely walk around in places abroad

06:54 schestowitz-TR; my mom already struggles in flights due to her knees

06:54 Techrights-sec; not so much a sport as LARPing

7 AM, May 13

07:02 schestowitz-TR; a) there are ways to contribute to society other than jobs

07:02 schestowitz-TR; (some jobs are BS). Good banks, activism...

07:02 schestowitz-TR; b) I will check the table of contents in a moment, it'll show up in tmux soon

07:02 schestowitz-TR; c) something I forgot while typing a and b, but it wasn't important anyway

07:02 schestowitz-TR; I akm chasing daily linkaa atm with gemini on the side

07:02 schestowitz-TR; matey is very active in the main channel and is on topic

07:02 Techrights-sec; that's great news about IRC

07:03 schestowitz-TR; irc's problem is not the loss of time

07:03 schestowitz-TR; but the loss of focus

07:03 schestowitz-TR; and why I muted dfc

07:03 schestowitz-TR; he's the equivalent of social control media GUIs (web UIs)

07:06 schestowitz-TR; ot-ish: yesterday's meeting was using the self-serving lies about the health of the company

07:06 schestowitz-TR; but you could sense they tried hard to keep everyone onboard (not all companies are like that)

07:06 schestowitz-TR; maybe because the external HR agency cautioned them about cost of compensation

07:06 schestowitz-TR; but either way, this is the first such meeting in 3 years

07:06 schestowitz-TR; and now without physical office they cannot waste our time on train journeys

07:10 schestowitz-TR; rianne and I were 110 mins on call, spent similar length of time discussing outcome

07:10 schestowitz-TR; reduction of hours likely the way forward, but to keep pension and employement record, plus

07:10 schestowitz-TR; reduction of tax deduction, both of us to stay onboard

07:10 schestowitz-TR; at reduced capacity

07:10 schestowitz-TR; which is something we thought about doing years ago anyway

07:10 schestowitz-TR; whhen I started in the company 11+ years ago I covered only Sat and Sun

07:11 Techrights-sec; TOC generation is now integrated into the work flow

07:20 schestowitz-TR; excellent!

07:20 schestowitz-TR; I might soon work towards getting the publication patterns off wordpress

07:20 schestowitz-TR; at least partly

07:20 schestowitz-TR; the CMS treadmill "innovation" (so-called) means higher technical debt

07:20 schestowitz-TR; techdirt imprisoned itself in wordpressDOTCOM

07:20 schestowitz-TR; the bulletins, ipfs, gemini and others are a stepping stone towards where we want to be

07:20 schestowitz-TR; I tried gnunet but it's alphaware at this point

07:20 schestowitz-TR; with gemini, the site is just tar -opt [direction], untar /tar -xf directory, then add demon of choice

07:20 schestowitz-TR; like vget in openbsd, which is just hundreds of LOCs iirc and open port

07:20 schestowitz-TR; but it does not have widepsread adoption yet and dealing with attachment is hard

07:20 schestowitz-TR; I hope that will change in due course

07:20 schestowitz-TR; I stopped making material ABOUT gemini

07:20 schestowitz-TR; this is what worries me

07:20 schestowitz-TR; CAs aside, it seems like

07:20 schestowitz-TR; 1) social control media gatekeepers , e.g. "hacker" "news"

07:20 schestowitz-TR; 2) sofwtare designed to block/suppress some sites

07:20 schestowitz-TR; 3) balkanised Web, GOVERNMENT-imposed blacklists, amybe ISPs to join

07:20 schestowitz-TR; to "prtect us"

07:20 schestowitz-TR; we don't need to wait until the "showdown"

07:20 schestowitz-TR; kriakou (cia whistleblower; we used to interact online) warns that this is about shutting off

07:20 schestowitz-TR; "undesirable" voices like his

07:20 schestowitz-TR; at one point only RT would consider him "permissible"

07:20 schestowitz-TR; and CONSORTRIUM NEWS

07:20 schestowitz-TR; and now they crack down on those, too

07:20 schestowitz-TR; and those who appeared in RT have "splaining" top do

07:21 schestowitz-TR; I meant vger earlier, not vget

07:21 schestowitz-TR; it probably lacks many features

07:21 schestowitz-TR; but the complexity of those things is very low, a bit like irc pre v.3

07:22 Techrights-sec; yes it's happening on both sides of the Atlantic

07:22 Techrights-sec; however only a tiny amount of politicians even act aware of the problem

07:22 Techrights-sec; they could probably be counted on one hand, and then to make it worse,

07:22 Techrights-sec; only a subset ofthose is activng

07:22 Techrights-sec; vger requires one bit of very specialized knowledge to get running

07:22 Techrights-sec; for those that know it, it is deads simple to set up

07:22 Techrights-sec; for those that lack the background it is a non-starter

07:24 schestowitz-TR; few remaining politicians are tech-savvy

07:24 schestowitz-TR; and some of the experts they recruit are microsofters

07:24 schestowitz-TR; seems like patrick breyer might be the exception

07:24 schestowitz-TR; but among "establishment" politicians his party is regarded a laughing stock

07:24 schestowitz-TR; (the name never helped, even as tongue-in-cheeck)

07:28 schestowitz-TR; "darknet" = something we cannot control

07:28 schestowitz-TR; "shitcoin" = also something we cannot control, but that does not make it virtuous

07:28 schestowitz-TR; "shitcoin scams in the darknet" = associating scams and crime with thge former

07:28 schestowitz-TR; where the name, "darknet", does not help either

07:28 schestowitz-TR; www = FB

07:28 schestowitz-TR; self-hosted WWW = LOL!!! YOUR SHITTTY SITE LOOKS SO 90s!!! LOL!!! And no "valid" cert...

07:28 schestowitz-TR; what about privacy??? Says the person froma a TWITTER account, running a pileshit of JS

07:28 schestowitz-TR; just to render 140 chars of shitpost

07:28 schestowitz-TR; in an account that demands 2FA with phone number an "APPS" that transmits location throughout

07:28 schestowitz-TR; the day

07:29 Techrights-sec; they're not experts only sales teams and lobbyists posing as experts

07:29 Techrights-sec; the policitians like that because it is familiar and they get campaign money

07:29 Techrights-sec; self-hosed will soon be defacto illegal; self-signed certificates have been

07:29 Techrights-sec; dropped from some libraries and modules, not just the major browsers

07:29 Techrights-sec; surveillance is one of the objectives common to both industry and government

07:31 schestowitz-TR; GOVERNMENT-FUNDED "industry"

07:31 schestowitz-TR; you saw my link from yesterday

07:31 schestowitz-TR; if the tech giants fail, the taxpayers will bail "big tech" like they do "big banks"

07:31 schestowitz-TR; if the US goes under

07:31 schestowitz-TR; China will do the same

07:31 schestowitz-TR; it is about "national interest", not "job creation"

07:31 schestowitz-TR; the high-paid workers are riding tax money and national debt

07:31 Techrights-sec; yes

07:32 schestowitz-TR; I like to use the term "doping"

07:32 schestowitz-TR; like business that net VC money

07:32 schestowitz-TR; and quickly waste that on gradeur

07:32 schestowitz-TR; like using up the harvest by Sewptember

07:32 schestowitz-TR; to thenm starve in winter

09:10 schestowitz-TR; it is just that I am guessing thiss line is about to become a lot longer

09:10 schestowitz-TR; it would be good for gemini when all gemini articles are presented in a way that does not give

09:10 schestowitz-TR; the impression of afterhought or second-class citizenry

09:10 schestowitz-TR; I am guilty of that sometimes, e.g. with memes, but I started including headlines too and author names

09:10 schestowitz-TR; from screenshots

09:10 Techrights-sec; yes so it should be removed since Gemiini does not have internal links

09:11 schestowitz-TR; That looks very nice in largance though, it shows full index for the page on the sidebar and clicking takes you to the rig

09:22 Techrights-sec; ok check the above link

09:23 schestowitz-TR; great, this also fixed that for other posts where the categories did not fit in and lacked spaces

10:06 Techrights-sec; the paths

10:22 schestowitz-TR; I am guessing it's a fuction call somewhere and that I can add that at my end as well

10:44 schestowitz-TR; hang on ...

10:44 schestowitz-TR; sorry, I was posting to TM, so got distracted

10:44 Techrights-sec; The input file is the 2022-05-13.html or 2022-05-13-merged.html nothing else

10:44 Techrights-sec; what file are you trying to process with links-toc.pl ?

10:44 Techrights-sec; thanks for the validator links, there are some warnings and errors I can fix

10:44 Techrights-sec; from here but not all

10:44 Techrights-sec; new template

10:44 Techrights-sec; Error Line 4408, Column 12: ID "ipfs-table" already defined

10:44 Techrights-sec; Info Line 1865, Column 12: ID "ipfs-table" first defined here

10:56 schestowitz-TR; OK, #m[number] works now

10:56 schestowitz-TR; I will copy the template

10:56 schestowitz-TR; I have juts tested with past 6 daily links' input files

10:56 schestowitz-TR; sometimes it goes further than leftovers

10:56 schestowitz-TR; I wonder if invalid xhtml is what causes it to panic

10:56 schestowitz-TR; testing some more

10:56 schestowitz-TR; I am starting to suspect is gets baffled ifthe first level sections have items in them, but still testing

10:56 schestowitz-TR; yes, OK, now I am quite sure

10:56 schestowitz-TR; |-Section A

10:56 schestowitz-TR; |-news

10:56 schestowitz-TR; |-Section B

10:56 schestowitz-TR; then it copes OK

10:57 Techrights-sec; id attributes must be unique so if they are to be repeated then class would

10:57 Techrights-sec; be more appropriate for formatting and layout matters

10:57 Techrights-sec; great

10:58 schestowitz-TR; the ipfs validation error (and similar) are due to me "not writing enough articles"

10:58 schestowitz-TR; so the blogs's front page shows two "IRC posts" among the "latest 8" and sections are redefined with nonunqie IDs

14:10 schestowitz-TR; now properly back (desk)

14:10 schestowitz-TR; on the way back I thought,

14:10 schestowitz-TR; iunstead of #m[number]

14:10 Techrights-sec; good savings

14:10 schestowitz-TR; maybe pick random letter

14:10 schestowitz-TR; as some pages contain muliple batches of Daily Links

14:10 schestowitz-TR; hence there is a good chande if id collision

14:10 schestowitz-TR; which not only renders validation errors

14:10 schestowitz-TR; but also ambiguity as to what direction the drirector links to

14:10 schestowitz-TR; with 50+ letters the program goes away, or maybe some other thing, date would be the worst UID

14:10 schestowitz-TR; as the collusion would typically occur with batches of the same date

14:15 schestowitz-TR; btw, my "leave my job" draft can be rcycled as "going part part" to focus on the site

14:15 schestowitz-TR; pending confirmation

14:15 schestowitz-TR; we did the maths and realise there's no way to retire, not even close, far toioo early

18:50 Techrights-sec; Twitter is a massive disinformation megaphone and contol of it is worth

18:50 Techrights-sec; a lot of money to some malevolent interests.

18:50 Techrights-sec; what kind of actions + savings can put you on a trajectory to retire in 10 years

18:50 Techrights-sec; ?

18:52 schestowitz-TR; if I worked very very hard on "money", I could retire in 10 years

18:52 schestowitz-TR; but then I'd losing 10 years trying to earn money

18:52 schestowitz-TR; so the balanced approached is better

18:52 schestowitz-TR; maybe we'll even move somewhere that is less expensive

18:52 schestowitz-TR; but that's just a thought

18:52 schestowitz-TR; the world is too vaolatile atm

18:52 Techrights-sec; ok I was wondering what timescale a balanced track would bring

18:54 schestowitz-TR; I hope MusKSA withdrsw, then Twitter collapses, for good...

18:54 schestowitz-TR; both of b/

18:54 schestowitz-TR; best of both worlds

18:54 schestowitz-TR; in a sense

18:55 schestowitz-TR; like Microsoft and Yhoo!

18:55 schestowitz-TR; They kept doing that to Yahoo!

18:55 schestowitz-TR; until Yahoo! died

18:55 schestowitz-TR; Twitter would not recover

18:55 schestowitz-TR; they already piss people off by saying Trump might come back

18:55 schestowitz-TR; and Musk got TOOOOOONNNNS of freepress over fake, hypothetical, likely impossible

18:55 schestowitz-TR; "free speech"

18:55 schestowitz-TR; so he got his money's worth already

18:55 Techrights-sec; a collapse of twitter would be to nearly everyone's advantage

18:55 schestowitz-TR; also as shareholder

18:55 schestowitz-TR; see the link (you sent?) re SEC investigation

18:56 schestowitz-TR; regarding toc code, I can refrain from adding links right after level heading 1

18:56 schestowitz-TR; as I said, choosing a random letter eahc time for id would dodge ambiguity across batches of Daily Links

18:57 Techrights-sec; I can look at that over the next few days, probably


7 PM, May 13

19:03 schestowitz-TR; re Twitter, a shame think we forgot to buy popcorn

19:03 schestowitz-TR; I'd buy even without a discount

19:03 schestowitz-TR; once again, as the "Why I hate Elon Musk Video" starts,

19:03 schestowitz-TR; Musk get a ton of free publicity without spending a cent

19:03 schestowitz-TR; Trump was good at that too

19:03 schestowitz-TR; je just says Trump, free speech, a bunch of other stuff

19:03 schestowitz-TR; and did not even seal the deal, it seems...

19:04 schestowitz-TR; meanwhile Twitter Inc. puff up its chest

19:04 schestowitz-TR; pretending to be big

19:04 schestowitz-TR; like 4 times bigger

19:04 schestowitz-TR; like AOL the floppy delivery system

19:04 Techrights-sec; ack

19:20 Techrights-sec; ack

19:20 Techrights-sec; I'm not sure I understand what change is needed with the TOC code. Can you

19:20 Techrights-sec; show a URL or more details?

19:22 schestowitz-TR; sure, I need to demonstrate with two or more files

19:22 schestowitz-TR; input files

19:22 schestowitz-TR; doy uo

19:22 schestowitz-TR; I think I froze ytalk, ctrl s/q

19:22 schestowitz-TR; managed to undo that or maybe network lag

19:22 schestowitz-TR; do you need clarification about random letter

19:23 schestowitz-TR; or nested item right below level 1 heading? or both?

19:23 Techrights-sec; ctrl s will freeze, ctrl q will unfreeze

19:24 Techrights-sec; Clarification regarding which file. I suppose the Epoch could be used as part

19:24 Techrights-sec; of the id attribute, that would make it unique enough since the script would

19:24 Techrights-sec; be most unlikely to be run twice in one second

19:25 schestowitz-TR; hour of day would make it unique enough

19:25 schestowitz-TR; rianne and I are scraping the pile of news quite hard thurd and friday

19:25 schestowitz-TR; because there is almost nothing of substance

19:25 schestowitz-TR; I will provide input files

19:30 Techrights-sec; ok

19:30 Techrights-sec; tm is having trouble

19:30 Techrights-sec; or at least unreachable from here

19:31 schestowitz-TR; 3) the diff is one link after leftovers

19:51 Techrights-sec; ok looking

19:51 Techrights-sec; taking a guess...working...

19:51 Techrights-sec; ok check Git

19:54 schestowitz-TR; thanks

19:54 schestowitz-TR; trying...

19:54 schestowitz-TR; the IDs are much better now, that's very good

19:54 schestowitz-TR; when I run it with sternberg the TOC ends after "leftovers"

19:54 schestowitz-TR; I checked to be sure I use the latest revision

19:58 Techrights-sec; make sure to use the latest template.html

19:58 Techrights-sec; ack

19:58 schestowitz-TR; oh, that would be it.... let me try


8 PM, May 13

20:08 schestowitz-TR; iirc, we had a bunch of old template lying about

20:08 schestowitz-TR; but maybe not in git rather some some diretory somewhere?

20:08 Techrights-sec; the one in Git is the authoritative one

20:08 Techrights-sec; in the Links directory

20:19 schestowitz-TR; I don't remember where the old ones were, maybe the older git

20:19 schestowitz-TR; but either way, mine had some hacks bolted onto it

20:19 schestowitz-TR; so I filed it in git and will have to make subtle changes

20:19 schestowitz-TR; my changes are very minor, I just need to test a few times

20:24 schestowitz-TR; Ok, I found them, they are in ~/bin

20:24 schestowitz-TR; template* files

20:24 schestowitz-TR; that's how I remembered it

20:24 schestowitz-TR; I will move them to a new dir

20:24 schestowitz-TR; there are now 5 files under ~/bin/template

20:24 schestowitz-TR; if I become part timer I should tidy those bits up as well

20:26 Techrights-sec; Ok but the one all the perl scripts are based on is in Links in Git

20:26 Techrights-sec; maybe best to delete or at least tar+gzip the old ones so they are

20:26 Techrights-sec; out of the way

20:26 Techrights-sec; ack

20:28 schestowitz-TR; I've begun making my own 'deriv' of template

20:28 schestowitz-TR; because I need a lot more "slots" for howtos

20:28 schestowitz-TR; and the top part contains some 'logic' for adding the right date to title in wordpress

20:28 schestowitz-TR; those are easy, trivial edits, I won't push these back

20:28 schestowitz-TR; I have some vbery oddball workflow

20:28 schestowitz-TR; and some magic mouse buttons to help make it faster

20:28 Techrights-sec; I just add them on the fly with not-quite-macros

20:28 Techrights-sec; extra mouse buttons would help a lot I expect

20:29 schestowitz-TR; I used to do the same with xbindkeys (still there, too)

20:29 schestowitz-TR; but mouse if faster, the thumb just moves a little

20:33 schestowitz-TR; gn

20:33 schestowitz-TR; I will test here what needs testing

20:33 schestowitz-TR; this will overll improve Daily links
