07:08 schestowitz-TR; I will be quieter today as I work on process and data migrations
07:08 schestowitz-TR; I am still thinking a lot about last night's call with the boss
07:08 schestowitz-TR; he probably does too
07:40 schestowitz-TR; UK: Highest Number of COVID-19 Hospitalisations in Nearly 2 Months, Over 20,000,000 Infections http://schestowitz.com/We
07:40 -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell- ( status 404 @ http://schestowitz.com/We )
07:40 schestowitz-TR; blog/archives/2022/03/18/over-20000000-uk-infections/
07:40 schestowitz-TR; re masnick,
07:40 schestowitz-TR; I confronted him about this in the past
07:40 schestowitz-TR; he would say, to make money blah blah we let some third party run those ads
07:40 schestowitz-TR; and they are not out editorial pick
07:40 Techrights-sec; yes, in otherwords, mike sells out
07:40 Techrights-sec; ^sold out
07:40 Techrights-sec; M$ ads are M$ ads
07:41 schestowitz-TR; yes, but I try not to cast my net so wide that I end up boycotting all source
07:41 schestowitz-TR; we already have a scarcity issue as it is
07:42 schestowitz-TR; tbh, I lean more and more on gemini
07:42 schestowitz-TR; it's very very very clean of such corrupting influence
07:42 schestowitz-TR; even on issues that are not tech
07:42 schestowitz-TR; Reminds me of OpenDiary in the 1990s
07:42 Techrights-sec; understood
08:14 *psydruid (~psydruid@jevhxkzmtrbww.irc) has joined #boycottnovell
08:27 *psydruid (~psydruid@jevhxkzmtrbww.irc) has left #boycottnovell
10:10 schestowitz-TR; backing up all 4 laptops to external
10:10 schestowitz-TR; this morning
10:10 schestowitz-TR; I might start typing articles and daily links over ssh to another device
10:10 schestowitz-TR; I have no megnetic disks left except external
10:37 schestowitz-TR; ---
10:37 schestowitz-TR; not sure if you saw my blog post, which I intended to do last night
10:37 schestowitz-TR; but got caught up with more urgent things
10:37 schestowitz-TR; the situating here is not improving
10:37 schestowitz-TR; now the gov. offers 150 pounds in credit to poor households
10:37 schestowitz-TR; to help with energy bills, according to them
10:37 schestowitz-TR; but thje household of 4 or 5 had a fee hike of maybe 400
10:37 schestowitz-TR; per year
10:37 schestowitz-TR; so it's just a token gesture
10:37 schestowitz-TR; and meanwhile the hospitals are filling up
10:37 schestowitz-TR; and tow they say they want to charge us more for NHS
10:37 schestowitz-TR; the city council tax rose from about 800 to over 12000
10:37 schestowitz-TR; in less then a decade
10:37 schestowitz-TR; for the MINIMAL or lowest band of homes
10:37 schestowitz-TR; BTW, I've moved music to another mahcine
10:37 schestowitz-TR; now working on moving my working notes to the pi
10:37 schestowitz-TR; which means I can set them to be accessible to you
10:37 schestowitz-TR; sdhall that be helpful
10:37 schestowitz-TR; it['s the only machine externally accessible over ssh
10:37 schestowitz-TR; I think I will do git-related work on that box too
10:37 schestowitz-TR; as it is already confiugured for gemini anyway
10:37 schestowitz-TR; one step at a time...
10:38 Techrights-sec; NHS has been a target since 2012 or earlier
10:38 Techrights-sec; best to comparmentalize IMO
10:38 Techrights-sec; As mentioned it would be a good idea to physically remove the old drive ASAP
10:38 Techrights-sec; How did the call with the boss go yestereday? You mentioned handing his ass to
10:38 Techrights-sec; him but are there actual improvements in his behavior or will he stew?
10:40 schestowitz-TR; the last step might be isolation of the drive
10:40 schestowitz-TR; re work, the only two things I kept off the table are
10:40 schestowitz-TR; HR as it is personal
10:40 schestowitz-TR; talking about ethical issues with some clients
10:41 Techrights-sec; as far as ethics go, is it ethical to spread M$ vulnerabilities into critical
10:41 Techrights-sec; infrastructure and society in general given the curren realities of the
10:41 Techrights-sec; "hybrid" war in Europe and the direction it has been heading faster and faster?
10:43 schestowitz-TR; thankfully none of this involved Microsoft
10:43 schestowitz-TR; but mostly outsource of internal operations
10:43 schestowitz-TR; and I know who to blame for this
10:43 schestowitz-TR; when I work so little per shift, and wiosh to keep it that way,
10:43 schestowitz-TR; it limits my rople in decisions
10:43 schestowitz-TR; but...
10:43 schestowitz-TR; I really don't give a shift, as I am not a shareholder
10:43 schestowitz-TR; if they want to burn themsselves, bny all means have at it
10:43 schestowitz-TR; I won't even feel guilty as I am not culpable
10:44 schestowitz-TR; in fatc, I'd have weritten record
10:44 schestowitz-TR; of me caustioning them about all this
10:45 Techrights-sec; But there was the NDA...
10:45 Techrights-sec; M$ boosters always have and always will burn their own business to the ground
10:45 Techrights-sec; rather than give an inch to proper technologies.
10:45 Techrights-sec; Written documentation in that area is important. I hope that came up in your
10:45 Techrights-sec; discussions yesterday.
10:47 schestowitz-TR; NOT WRITTEN, BUT i RECORDED THE CONVO, FROM MY END ANYWAY
10:47 schestowitz-TR; pardon caps
10:47 schestowitz-TR; I choose phone as it's harder to BS on the spot
10:47 schestowitz-TR; and it caught him off guard
10:47 schestowitz-TR; but I put many of the same things in writting anfd thunderbird now makes full
10:47 schestowitz-TR; IMPA copies offline
10:47 schestowitz-TR; just in case there was erven an attempt to lock me ouy
10:47 schestowitz-TR; *out
10:48 Techrights-sec; yes, the real-time interaction makes certain kinds of bullshit harder
10:48 Techrights-sec; to foist off on people
10:48 Techrights-sec; ack
11:04 schestowitz-TR; serious question:
11:04 schestowitz-TR; do you want read/write access (or rwead only) to my working articles ftext files
11:04 schestowitz-TR; and daily links file?
11:04 Techrights-sec; not really, the current work flow is comfortable
11:04 Techrights-sec; though there is always room for improvement
11:08 schestowitz-TR; heh, my all-db file, the one that sotres 2 year's worth of daily links
11:08 schestowitz-TR; (mostly for me to check for duplicates)
11:08 schestowitz-TR; is nearly 200MB of plain text in size
11:08 schestowitz-TR; I could never find a better apporoach
11:08 schestowitz-TR; in the old days I'd do internal site search, but that was a lot slower
11:08 schestowitz-TR; thgan scanning a large text file
11:08 schestowitz-TR; can you think of a better way?
11:10 Techrights-sec; sqlite3 might be better
11:10 Techrights-sec; once the links are in HTML and validated by HTML Tidy, the URLs can be extracted and run over an SQLite3 database.
11:11 schestowitz-TR; here's the snag
11:11 schestowitz-TR; url is not enough
11:11 schestowitz-TR; as sometimes urls and titles do change
11:11 schestowitz-TR; so I need a bit from post excerpt too
11:11 schestowitz-TR; to be sure I do not link to something I did befor
11:12 schestowitz-TR; the downside is kate takingup over 1gb of ram, assuming I want an archive
11:12 schestowitz-TR; wghich goes this far back
11:14 Techrights-sec; URL is the closes one can get, unless the same record can have multiple URLs
11:14 Techrights-sec; The current work flow here is to check only the last two calendar months.
11:14 Techrights-sec; It's less efficient than it could be. Again, sqlite3 is rather convenient
11:16 schestowitz-TR; wait, I am being so thikck
11:16 schestowitz-TR; I could just write an interface to scan the file without having it open in the text edtiro
11:16 schestowitz-TR; this would free up a lot of ram
11:16 Techrights-sec; yep
11:16 Techrights-sec; grep would work for a flat file
11:16 Techrights-sec; or awk
11:16 Techrights-sec; or perl
11:34 schestowitz-TR; lol, all-db is 4.1 million lines
11:34 schestowitz-TR; I will automate some more things, will push to gitg shortly
11:34 schestowitz-TR; thanks for tidying things upo
11:34 schestowitz-TR; earliert today I tested the planet stufff and it still works as before
11:34 schestowitz-TR; I am going to start doing git directly via the pi
11:34 schestowitz-TR; I have just tested simple grep
11:34 schestowitz-TR; I will add custom stuff like -a and -b to show some context
11:35 schestowitz; grep -a1 -b1 --color=always nreview.org/collection/hainhofer-stammb /home/roy/Desktop/Text_Workspace/all-db.txt
11:35 Techrights-sec; https://man.openbsd.org/style
11:35 Techrights-sec; np
11:35 Techrights-sec; readability is important for maintenace
11:35 -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-man.openbsd.org | style(9) - OpenBSD manual pages
11:37 Techrights-sec; ack
11:37 Techrights-sec; maybe the -A and -B need to be uppercase?
11:38 schestowitz-TR; works ok in my version of grep on debian 10
11:38 schestowitz-TR; I've just freed up a lot of RAM
11:38 schestowitz-TR; well overdue, owing to all this refactoring and tidying
11:40 Techrights-sec; -a == process binary file as text
11:40 Techrights-sec; -A == show the next line
11:40 Techrights-sec; -b == byte offset
11:40 Techrights-sec; -B == show the previous line(s)
11:41 schestowitz-TR; ok, I think I see what's going on here
11:42 schestowitz-TR; if there is no space before the number, than uppsercase implied i think
11:42 schestowitz-TR; same output as when uppsrcase is used
11:42 Techrights-sec; very strange
11:42 Techrights-sec; those settings are the same across all greps that I know of
11:42 schestowitz-TR; same in mine, as per the manpages that I saw
11:43 schestowitz-TR; but I think it tries to correct an error
11:43 schestowitz-TR; assuming I meant something else
11:50 Techrights-sec; maybe a bug
11:54 schestowitz-TR; kate ram usage down from 700-14000 to just 60mb
11:54 schestowitz-TR; my notes are now written to the pi
11:54 schestowitz-TR; for backups sake it would be nice to have an editor that can pew out svaes to two different deviuces at once
11:54 schestowitz-TR; like a multiplexer
11:54 schestowitz-TR; I am sure such a thing exist
11:54 schestowitz-TR; *exists
11:54 schestowitz-TR; other than running some slave process/daemon to periodically replicate
11:54 Techrights-sec; inotify incron?
11:56 schestowitz-TR; I've just used gulag to see if there is any such thing in kate, but it seems not
11:56 schestowitz-TR; maygbe it keeps some local cashe, I think ti does something locally if you write over *ftp* or ssh
11:57 Techrights-sec; incron can watch the specific file and then run a script when the file gets
11:57 Techrights-sec; changed, the script can attempt to copy the file to a second location
11:57 schestowitz-TR; yes, I thought about inotify, but the pi does not have an external storage device attached and opening an ssh pipe each time I press save seems like an overkill
11:58 schestowitz-TR; those are important working files, I still don't know what to do about thunderbird because it's like 30GB in size
11:59 *Despatche has quit (Quit: Read error: Connection reset by deer)
12:02 Techrights-sec; thunderbird is a hog
12:13 Techrights-sec; not yet
12:13 Techrights-sec; ack
12:13 schestowitz-TR; i am going to cron the planet thing
12:13 schestowitz-TR; I don't suppose we have crontab in version control
12:14 schestowitz-TR; I've made a copy of the file under ~/bin with "gemini" prefix and have it update every 3 hours
12:14 schestowitz-TR; the more important bits are the imported bits
12:14 schestowitz-TR; my important working files are not in /home/pi
12:15 schestowitz-TR; *now in
12:15 schestowitz-TR; I am trying to classify which parts of my systems are still "moving poarts"
12:15 schestowitz-TR; and which ones are just sittigng there never changing
12:15 schestowitz-TR; which means that backing them up over and over aqgain can be wasteful
12:15 schestowitz-TR; I can back them up ujust ones to 3 external disks and that is it
12:27 Techrights-sec; ack
12:27 Techrights-sec; that's very many
12:56 schestowitz-TR; git push
12:56 schestowitz-TR; added a thig i ALIAS AS JUST "B" IN BASH
