beginning of new day, August 13

00:01 *psydruid (~psydruid@jevhxkzmtrbww.irc) has joined #boycottnovell


3 AM, August 13

03:24 schestowitz-TR; I lost passwordless access to ipfs.techrights.org

03:24 schestowitz-TR; I've removed the three packages you had added

03:24 schestowitz-TR; also tried readding keys

03:24 schestowitz-TR; but still cannot get that to work

03:24 schestowitz-TR; for now, I'll upload the files manually


4 AM, August 13

04:13 Techrights-sec2; I turned on nftables a few minutes ago because all remaining system logs

04:13 Techrights-sec2; were filled with attacks and had no actual system information due to the volume

04:13 Techrights-sec2; which account can't use keys to get to ipfs.techrights.org?

04:13 Techrights-sec2; ok checking

04:13 Techrights-sec2; that'll certainly be a permissins problem

04:13 schestowitz-TR; 0/

04:14 schestowitz-TR; just in time ;-)

04:14 schestowitz-TR; xxxx

04:14 schestowitz-TR; gemini works OK, I configured that hours ago

04:14 schestowitz-TR; xxx worked ok until yesterday

04:15 Techrights-sec2; can you try xxxxx again now please?

04:15 schestowitz-TR; cannot even reach this address over ssh

04:24 Techrights-sec2; checking

04:24 Techrights-sec2; spotted it, just a sec

04:24 Techrights-sec2; try now

04:24 schestowitz-TR; now prompted for password, but at least rechable

04:24 Techrights-sec2; (I've copied over the NFT settings from tm-new)

04:24 Techrights-sec2; """

04:24 Techrights-sec2; Authentication refused: bad ownership or modes for directory /home/xxx

04:24 Techrights-sec2; """

04:24 Techrights-sec2; checking

04:29 schestowitz-TR; now it works

04:29 schestowitz-TR; I don't know what happened or changed since yesterday, but I manually added the 9 missing files and treble-checked just to know the archive is complete

04:29 schestowitz-TR; incidentally I noticed a mistake

04:29 schestowitz-TR; a

04:29 schestowitz-TR; a usefuless file that was not supposed to be in ipfs

04:29 schestowitz-TR; it was inherited from the home-hosted repo

04:29 schestowitz-TR; but it's not a bad file

04:29 schestowitz-TR; it just makes things less tidy

04:29 schestowitz-TR; apparetly snuck in there in Marcheach year there are 9x365/6 new files

04:29 schestowitz-TR; adding them can be made vastly more efficent, that's on the todo list

04:29 schestowitz-TR; also, in git you can find history for complete-split and update

04:29 schestowitz-TR; where you attempted to make grep better but it did not work the first time around, hence reverted back

04:29 Techrights-sec2; checking

04:29 Techrights-sec2; excellent

04:29 Techrights-sec2; :/

04:29 Techrights-sec2; # rc-service ipfs status

04:29 Techrights-sec2; * status: stopped

04:35 schestowitz-TR; I will soon get somr rest

04:35 schestowitz-TR; I summoned some energy after work (5-30-1am) to make several posts that I thought were OK

04:35 schestowitz-TR; this weekend I can make videos and work on the sites

04:35 schestowitz-TR; if you restart tr-new it'll knock ii offline, but that's OK

04:35 schestowitz-TR; I assume you might want to test rs-service with ipfs

04:35 schestowitz-TR; at some point phphirc (irc bots) can be brought over to the new server, but not yet as we need http first, there is stuff exported from them to public_html every

04:35 schestowitz-TR; 5 mins and that affects scrollback in gemini etc.

04:35 schestowitz-TR; gm, feel free to break things

04:35 schestowitz-TR; *gn

04:35 Techrights-sec2; ok I'll try to keep it calm anyway, looking at NFT atm

04:35 Techrights-sec2; gn

08:04 *DaemonFC has quit (Quit: ChatZilla 0.13 [SeaMonkey 2.53.13/20220708150114])

08:27 Techrights-sec2; turned off password authentication on tr-new to harden it and to quiet the logs

08:27 Techrights-sec2; added nftables to tr-new

08:27 Techrights-sec2; added a simple AWK script to tr-new along with a matching openrc init script to block attacking IPv4 addresses, to harden it and to quiet the logs

08:27 Techrights-sec2; the system logs are useless without the above mitigations

08:27 Techrights-sec2; configured system logs, via syslog.conf, to split out authentication logging to a separate file

08:27 Techrights-sec2; fixed bad permissions for /var/log/ipfs/ipfs, the service must run as 'ipfs' and not 'glr'

08:27 Techrights-sec2; back in an hour or three

08:39 schestowitz-TR; excellent!!

08:39 schestowitz-TR; just done some sanity check on gemini side, all is well

08:39 schestowitz-TR; I had put down some notes for myself -- things to be checked

08:39 schestowitz-TR; so gemini is done (for tuxmachines also)

08:39 schestowitz-TR; in ipfs's case, it's all set, just not automated yet

08:39 schestowitz-TR; we still have one git repo on centos

09:32 *Noisytoot (~noisytoot@tkbibjhmbkvb8.irc) has joined #boycottnovell

09:50 Techrights-sec2; for ipfs there is an openrc script in /etc/init.d/ for automation

09:50 Techrights-sec2; it can be enabled

09:50 Techrights-sec2; the system logs on tr-new are much better now and useful for further diagnosis

09:50 Techrights-sec2; as needed

09:56 *britney has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s)

09:56 schestowitz-TR; moments ago (when you got back) i recorded a video about what you had seen, I think, last night

09:56 schestowitz-TR; video about the text

09:56 schestowitz-TR; it's about how I envision how being both online and active the next 10 years

09:57 schestowitz-TR; yesterday morning I reached a resolution (verbally at least) on the matter that bothered me for 2 weeks

09:57 schestowitz-TR; days ago I also received a totally firvolous copyirhg threat

09:57 schestowitz-TR; I will show the letter at a later point

09:57 schestowitz-TR; it's incrediby stupid

09:57 schestowitz-TR; and would not be the first time I get a threat over a fucking MEME

09:57 schestowitz-TR; EU had discussions on copyright in relation to memes

09:57 schestowitz-TR; iirc, the resultant law was, it's OK as long as the eme is low res

09:57 schestowitz-TR; I think it's like the 5th time we receive threats over "copyright" in some random image

09:57 schestowitz-TR; of course I'm picky with licences

09:57 schestowitz-TR; but with memes the originals' licences are unknown


10 AM, August 13

10:09 Techrights-sec2; ack

10:10 schestowitz-TR; one child costs about the same as 20 years of freedom for a couple

10:10 schestowitz-TR; like dfc said, the only reason some people maim for 6-figure salaries is kids

10:10 schestowitz-TR; but the latter comes before the former

10:10 schestowitz-TR; an afterthought

10:11 Techrights-sec2; more since the effective age of majority has become aroudn 25 or so and then

10:11 Techrights-sec2; there are "boomerang" kids and such then come grandkids

10:11 Techrights-sec2; those and expensive, poorly made cars and clothes

10:12 schestowitz-TR; we assessed that with a kid a car too would be required for many reasonsd

10:12 schestowitz-TR; and maybe simple activities like cycling would no longer be posible

10:12 schestowitz-TR; except with slave labour like grandparents

10:12 schestowitz-TR; (who btw I'm told don't genuinely want to look after the kids; it's tiring)

10:12 schestowitz-TR; so they pretend

10:16 Techrights-sec2; ack

10:20 schestowitz-TR; speaking of which, poorly made electronics

10:20 schestowitz-TR; lots of recent strories to telel

10:20 schestowitz-TR; inc. an hour old

10:20 schestowitz-TR; I gave rianne headphones from over 20+ years aog

10:20 schestowitz-TR; she wants only one side to work

10:20 schestowitz-TR; so she can hear what goes on

10:20 schestowitz-TR; a set from 2 years ago went all dead, neither side works

10:20 schestowitz-TR; so there are old spares

10:20 schestowitz-TR; these are never made for filutre at the links

10:20 schestowitz-TR; the metals wears off and then you lose signal

10:20 schestowitz-TR; adding more material means investing more money in production

10:20 schestowitz-TR; or better conductive material

10:20 schestowitz-TR; it's like the light bulb industry

10:20 schestowitz-TR; you;re meant to buy like 50 headphones in a lifetime... and throw away as many

10:22 Techrights-sec2; those are usually built so that the cables break or fray irreparably

10:22 Techrights-sec2; ack

10:24 schestowitz-TR; I had one or two other new examples in mind

10:24 schestowitz-TR; from yesterday

10:24 schestowitz-TR; forgot or cannot recall upon demand, but that does not matter

10:24 schestowitz-TR; one can find new examples every day

10:24 schestowitz-TR; as things in the house age poorly, break, wear off..

10:24 schestowitz-TR; imagine if medical equipment like pacemakers got made the same way

10:24 schestowitz-TR; they knoew they would get sued a lot

10:34 Techrights-sec2; As far as I know they do get made the same way, at least insofar as they are

10:34 Techrights-sec2; intentionlly made without a modicum of security; they are operatated in and

10:34 Techrights-sec2; if an attacker wears down the battery of a pump or pacemaker, without killing

10:34 Techrights-sec2; the patient outright, then the patient must undergo a replacement operation

10:34 Techrights-sec2; back when Karen Sandler was pro-FOSS she spoke several times in detail about

10:34 Techrights-sec2; the proprietary nature of the pacemakers and their insecurity. She was not

10:34 Techrights-sec2; allowed to examine them even under NDA.

16:17 *britney (~britney@muarsy2vret2q.irc) has joined #boycottnovell

16:30 Techrights-sec2; I'm thinking that the incron and cron jobs on tm-new and tr-new could be

16:30 Techrights-sec2; moved to /etc/incron.d/ and /etc/crontabs/ so that they are easier to note

16:30 Techrights-sec2; and back up. Thoughts?

16:30 Techrights-sec2; I guess that's where they are already so the question is moot.

16:31 schestowitz-TR; after losing pi system I made it a practice to cron -l -u into files in homedirs

16:31 schestowitz-TR; the crontab could cron their own backup ;-)

16:34 Techrights-sec2; :)
