08:59 schestowitz-TR; after spen^Hwasting 2-3 hours on this I decided I'd manually run (interactive mode)

09:47 Techrights-sec; the wordpress tarballs are over 1GB in size, each, can that be correct?
09:47 Techrights-sec; to answer that myself, yes, the files have slowly grown over time

09:47 Techrights-sec; 1.3 is HUGE can that be compacted upstream at all?
09:47 schestowitz-TR; yes, about 13000mb

09:54 schestowitz-TR; post+revs 150k
09:54 schestowitz-TR; the latter could be compacted out of existence
09:54 schestowitz-TR; I'd rather keep them though
09:54 schestowitz-TR; a lot of the volume is in Daily Links

10:14 schestowitz-TR; we now net and archive 10-40 gemini posts per day
10:14 schestowitz-TR; archive only in the link sense
10:14 schestowitz-TR; weekends are slower
10:14 schestowitz-TR; but there are cartoons, cats, crossword puzzles, TR is a daily bundle, and even podcasts on gemini://
10:14 schestowitz-TR; TR does videos too, but the files are sent over http/s
10:14 schestowitz-TR; let's hope one day there will be 100+ per day
10:14 schestowitz-TR; them, we can take that further with some curation

14:30 Techrights-sec; The workflow is not well thought out at all
14:30 Techrights-sec; anyway, trying some KDE stuff at the moment, it is mostly quite nice but
14:30 Techrights-sec; weird bugs prominent
14:30 schestowitz-TR; which version or distro? Debian?

14:49 schestowitz-TR; then get shit done
14:49 schestowitz-TR; the same for "store" in gnome or other
14:49 schestowitz-TR; all these things do is waste resources ime
14:54 Techrights-sec; stopping the akonadi 'server' does nothing, applications seem to write to
14:54 Techrights-sec; it direvtly
14:54 Techrights-sec; anyway, that's a distraction from important stuff
14:54 schestowitz-TR; if you just kill all the "ako" processes, bear in mind starting kmail or kalendar would bring those back again
14:54 schestowitz-TR; so just avoid that
14:54 Techrights-sec; :( it seems to be using MySQL or similar
14:55 schestowitz-TR; DB for something like email with flat files is not good plan, imho

17:36 schestowitz; Early this year, SUEPO called for actions supported by the Central Staff Committee (CSC). The main reason for discontent with the EPO present administration led by Mr. Campinos during the last four years follows his flawed Financial Study of 2019 made by Oliver Wyman & Mercer and the consequent reforms. The new salary adjustment procedure causes a disastrous immediate and long-term loss of purchasing power and denies the massive efforts made by
17:36 schestowitz; EPO staff during the last two pandemic years.
17:36 schestowitz; The inflation in the Netherlands of 11.2% and in Germany of 7.8% over the last 12 months accounts for far more than a double step reward (on average 1 step equals 2%). Less than 60% of eligible staff (actually less than 50% of all staff) may receive a single step let alone a double step this year. This is the worst year in the career of EPO staff which comes at the time when staff worked diligently through the worst pandemic of the century and
17:36 schestowitz; the worst inflation since the EPO inception.
17:36 schestowitz; The Work-to-Rule Actions are proving successful and the Focus on search actions is effective. The actions are drawing the attention of the Administrative Council and external stakeholders thereby persuading management to take staffs concerns seriously. Actions continue.
