1 AM, December 18

01:35 schestowitz-TR; I was asked why I don't use a mobile phone

01:35 schestowitz-TR; the ISP is trying to sell those too

01:35 schestowitz-TR; or connection plans with a bundle

01:35 schestowitz-TR; this time, for a change, the guy was good on the other side of the line

01:35 schestowitz-TR; because I phoned their "business" line

01:35 schestowitz-TR; with faster connection self-hosting things will get simpler

01:35 techrightssec2; ack

01:35 schestowitz-TR; not just ipfs

01:35 schestowitz-TR; we have a spare pi400

01:35 schestowitz-TR; i'm working to rel;ease daily links before 2:40am ish cutoff

01:41 techrightssec2; It took some hours to crawl TM Gallery, just the first gallery. But it looks

01:41 techrightssec2; like everything has been captured. Will get around to converting the links

01:41 techrightssec2; to working links soonish.

01:41 schestowitz-TR; the other night I was searching something and TM came up

01:41 schestowitz-TR; where I did not expect

01:41 schestowitz-TR; the URL structure can be odd

01:41 schestowitz-TR; but it captures many old articles that exist nowhere else

01:41 schestowitz-TR; IIRC, it was an IBM article from zdnet, over 15 years old

01:41 schestowitz-TR; about zend and php

01:42 techrightssec2; Yes, sadly many that it links to have long since vanished. I wonder if some

01:42 techrightssec2; sort of collaboration with IA would be appropriate or desireable going forward?

01:42 techrightssec2; Many sites that still retain their older articles have not kept the URL stable.

01:43 schestowitz-TR; you've 'read my mind'..

01:43 schestowitz-TR; I was thinking

01:43 schestowitz-TR; IA often has copies

01:43 schestowitz-TR; but IA makes discovery hard

01:43 schestowitz-TR; TM makes an indexed copy

01:43 schestowitz-TR; and that can then be ued to feed original URLs to WabackMachine

01:43 schestowitz-TR; *Way


2 AM, December 18

02:00 techrightssec2; ack

02:01 schestowitz-TR; i thought about doing a video about LF handing MSFT, FB, Bezos control over openstreetmap

02:01 schestowitz-TR; but not sure there is a lot to be said

02:01 schestowitz-TR; the BS writes itself

02:01 schestowitz-TR; and many headliens say "Linux"

02:01 schestowitz-TR; instead of "Linux Foundation"

02:06 techrightssec2; That might be a good topic anyway.

02:06 techrightssec2; if only to correct those headlines.

02:06 schestowitz-TR; ok, will record in an hour :-)

02:07 schestowitz-TR; ok, will record in an hour :-)

02:18 techrightssec2; ack

02:18 techrightssec2; The LF, despite the name, does not represent or advance Linux but instead

02:18 techrightssec2; represents corporate interests inside Linux. It has had a hostile, antagonistic

02:18 techrightssec2; relation with the community since disposing of community representation back in

02:18 techrightssec2; 2016:

7 AM, December 18

07:45 schestowitz-TR; eureka

07:45 schestowitz-TR; same thing happened today to quiterss as happened weeks ago

07:45 schestowitz-TR; back then I figured it was something to do with a massive folder of 100k+ items

07:45 schestowitz-TR; but now I was able to compare ini files

07:45 schestowitz-TR; and manually change one

07:45 schestowitz-TR; the problem happens when closing it in a megafolder

07:45 schestowitz-TR; and it would not behave well when comiing back to it

07:45 schestowitz-TR; the param id is "currentID"

07:45 schestowitz-TR; so I can fix it by tinkering with the ini file
