02:38 schestowitz-TR; the person whom you thought was trolling
02:38 schestowitz-TR; and I too suspectecdd of it
02:38 schestowitz-TR; was in fact ender
02:38 schestowitz-TR; who had become she around 5 years go
02:38 schestowitz-TR; ender (brandon) is not a troll
03:09 schestowitz-TR; how about this:
03:09 schestowitz-TR; -migrate 'working directory, stuff that changes more often, to the pi
03:09 schestowitz-TR; then access all things over LAN
03:09 schestowitz-TR; the rest gets offloaded to 3 external drives and basically left to
03:09 schestowitz-TR; be archived on these
03:09 schestowitz-TR; a lot of the files on /home/roy are things which very rarely change
03:09 schestowitz-TR; in the past I already archives some
03:09 schestowitz-TR; <I generally find that beefy /home/roy was always a bad idea
03:09 schestowitz-TR; as that means making backup of the same unchanged stuff
03:09 schestowitz-TR; over and over again
03:09 schestowitz-TR; taking longe rand tasking more space
03:10 schestowitz-TR; I really need to start classifying things
03:10 schestowitz-TR; and properly study what actually changes on my disk in an
03:10 schestowitz-TR; everyday fashion
03:10 schestowitz-TR; lots of lateral thingking here, easier in retrospect/hindsight

07:52 Techrights-sec; rsync can use hardlinks to save space and the algorithm itself reduces
07:52 Techrights-sec; time and bandwidth/diskaccess by copying only the changes, not whole files~.
07:52 Techrights-sec; see /tmp//tmp/foo-build-dirs.sh and /tmp/home-backup-luks.sh here
07:53 schestowitz-TR; thanks, I have made some spare/buffer time to carry on organising the files and move away what barely changes, to secure older data
07:54 schestowitz-TR; as for rsync, sometimes it's not best if you want complete older stacks in case you want to go back to some older state of older files that existed before
07:58 Techrights-sec; That's what the --link-dest option does. I forgot to add that if not date is
07:58 Techrights-sec; (day) is given then the current day number is used, but if 00 is given then the
07:58 Techrights-sec; baseline for that month is used instead. So one way to use it is to run 00 at
07:58 Techrights-sec; the begining of the month and then everything for the rest of the month is
07:58 Techrights-sec; automatically an incremental backup. Using that directory structure with the
07:58 Techrights-sec; script will provide a year's worth of incremental backups with minimal
07:58 Techrights-sec; wasted space.
08:02 Techrights-sec; however, it's not set (yet) so that 00 for each month does --link-dest to the
08:02 Techrights-sec; previous month's 00 Should it?
08:03 schestowitz-TR; I have not looked at these files yet
08:04 schestowitz-TR; at the moment my goal is to shrink ,my home directory, mostly by shaelving away
08:04 schestowitz-TR; a lot of things on a drive I can trust better
08:04 schestowitz-TR; i still don't know what to do with thunderbird
08:04 Techrights-sec; mozilla still doesn't eaither :/
08:04 Techrights-sec; ^either
08:07 Techrights-sec; they'v been trying to kill it passively for a very long tie
08:07 Techrights-sec; time
08:08 schestowitz-TR; I built up lots ofg data in it
08:08 schestowitz-TR; so any email migration would be a massive task
08:08 schestowitz-TR; having said that, they have killed so many exxtentions that I have
08:08 schestowitz-TR; used in thunderbird over the years
08:08 schestowitz-TR; for their 'vanilla' consolidation
08:08 schestowitz-TR; so in effect it's mostly the data that I look tom protect
08:11 Techrights-sec; there are two mailbox formats some programs use one others use the other
08:54 Techrights-sec; happy equinox, by the way
08:54 schestowitz-TR; I totally forgot about it
08:54 schestowitz-TR; the plan today is,
08:54 schestowitz-TR; record about patents
08:54 schestowitz-TR; before that
08:54 schestowitz-TR; a letter related to the strike of Tuesday
08:54 schestowitz-TR; and then organising files, mostly shelving files I rarely access or alter
09:01 schestowitz-TR; lately quite a few old timers came back to irc
09:01 schestowitz-TR; which I find interesting
09:01 schestowitz-TR; lack of social control media activity from me had no effect on
09:01 schestowitz-TR; anything
09:01 schestowitz-TR; I will think of ways to interact and to share documents better
09:01 schestowitz-TR; colleboration and all
09:01 schestowitz-TR; I have more spare time, I can add more links quicker
09:01 schestowitz-TR; owing to tossing social control media inm the bin
09:01 schestowitz-TR; a lot of the work I do with the file is tidying things I should have
09:01 schestowitz-TR; tidied like a decade ago
09:01 schestowitz-TR; but was too busy catching upo and putting out
09:01 schestowitz-TR; fires
09:04 schestowitz; irc: caught up (been very busy lately, harder to police, but not a single restriction there, not even mutes)
09:04 schestowitz; gem: planet runs OK, it helps me add some links to gemini. I see 2,255 capsules now. It's still growing.
09:04 schestowitz; suepo: last night I saw tons of told notes with leaks from stuff. After >5 years maybe some of them can become articles
09:04 schestowitz; record: around midnight I'll start recording, but I need to think how to now make these repetitive, e.g. bashing gulag news
09:04 schestowitz; maybe the approach of analysing the dataset can be refined
09:04 schestowitz; seeing there's not much "Real News" there anyhow....
09:04 schestowitz-TR; I means staff, not stuff. I don't interact with suepo, I can speak directly to staff
09:05 schestowitz-TR; *meanty
09:05 schestowitz-TR; *meant
09:30 schestowitz-TR; change of plans. I will record as soon as I fionished the poost, just done daily links
09:30 schestowitz-TR; cvey slow news day today in general
09:30 schestowitz-TR; 3pm there;'s important football match
09:30 schestowitz-TR; and I want to organise files etc. while it is transcoding
09:31 Techrights-sec; I wish there were some metrics to show the numbers but the news gets slower every week with occasional major decreases t
09:31 Techrights-sec; hat never recover.
09:32 schestowitz-TR; so you can make up by,e g. adding gemini
09:32 schestowitz-TR; or by casting the net wider
09:32 schestowitz-TR; or adding, changing scope/topics
09:32 schestowitz-TR; there are things we cannot control
09:32 schestowitz-TR; like what OTHERS publish
09:32 schestowitz-TR; OOPS, CAPS
09:32 schestowitz-TR; similarly, gulag noise is shite partly because it's GIGO
09:32 schestowitz-TR; garbage in, garbage out
09:32 Techrights-sec; I spend more time dredging RSS / Atom feeds It is *very* time consuming with
09:32 Techrights-sec; low yield.

18:33 schestowitz-TR; draft
18:33 schestowitz-TR; earlier on I rewrote ota with something else by mistake
18:33 schestowitz-TR; today I do lots of organisation of the file system
18:33 schestowitz-TR; later I will look into the said scripts and see how to improve backups
18:33 schestowitz-TR; this is long overdue
18:33 Techrights-sec; 1;3A
18:33 Techrights-sec; ack
18:34 schestowitz-TR; I will carry on using this machine
18:34 schestowitz-TR; but the important data won't be on it
18:34 Techrights-sec; no data should be on it. best to at least unmount the offending drive if not
18:34 Techrights-sec; actually taking it out physically.
18:38 schestowitz-TR; eventually
18:56 schestowitz-TR; as a side note, rianne and I have just spoken a lot about the kettle
18:56 schestowitz-TR; it broken down after about 12 months
18:56 schestowitz-TR; the one porior to that lasted 6 or 7 years
18:57 schestowitz-TR; you can never buy kicthen appliances anymore to last decades
18:57 schestowitz-TR; for now I use the simple coffee machine instead
18:57 schestowitz-TR; because I have zero confidence in antoiher kettle
18:57 schestowitz-TR; no longer the make
18:57 schestowitz-TR; this one was not a bad brand
18:58 Techrights-sec;
18:58 Techrights-sec; word on the street is that they are engineered to fail around the warranty
18:58 Techrights-sec; expiration. Several sales people I know have commented that personally.
18:58 Techrights-sec; I had one kettle which lasted more than ten years. It was top quality and
18:58 Techrights-sec; excellent form, function, and durability. Eventually it rusted through at
18:58 Techrights-sec; a seam and that was that.
18:59 schestowitz-TR; yes, this one was rusting after justa year
18:59 schestowitz-TR; and was still on and off
18:59 schestowitz-TR; working and not working this past week or 5 days
18:59 schestowitz-TR; so we know the issue wasn't at the coil level
18:59 schestowitz-TR; maybe some other mechanism
18:59 schestowitz-TR; maybe even thermostat
18:59 schestowitz-TR; either way, as a form of protest rianne is just boiling water on the hob now
19:00 Techrights-sec; I figure that one lasted for a more than satisfactory period of time with
19:00 Techrights-sec; rather heavy use.
19:01 Techrights-sec; That works. A bunsen burner works too.
19:01 Techrights-sec; A lid on the pot speeds things up greatly.
19:04 schestowitz-TR; thanks for the tip
19:04 schestowitz-TR; this more or less reaffirm the decision that we implicitly made
19:04 schestowitz-TR; a side perk of the drive issue, which I reckon goes months back because of the recovery
19:04 schestowitz-TR; message I was seeing, is that it forces me to untangle a maze or a web of scattered files
19:04 schestowitz-TR; the "desktop with 300 files" syndrome
19:04 schestowitz-TR; adding up over timea
19:04 schestowitz-TR; and slowing down any attempt to actually find what you are looking for
19:04 schestowitz-TR; rianne has this issue as well
19:04 schestowitz-TR; I found lots of EPO stuff along the way, unpublished material
19:04 schestowitz-TR; that can one day be safely published
19:04 schestowitz-TR; I still have lots about github
19:04 schestowitz-TR; I reckon we got rid of 3 managers already
19:04 schestowitz-TR; that we know of PUBLICLY
19:04 schestowitz-TR; sometimes I can react to some event in the news by pulling something out
19:04 schestowitz-TR; of
19:04 schestowitz-TR; the stash
19:05 Techrights-sec; The old way of making coffee works that way too. Boil water, throw in
19:05 Techrights-sec; the 'right' amount of coarsely ground coffe, and when it sinks it is done.
19:05 Techrights-sec; recoll helps
19:05 Techrights-sec; it can parse a lot of file types
19:05 Techrights-sec; a citation manager would help a lot but the only FOSS one I know of is Zotero
19:05 Techrights-sec; and the standalone version has an unusable UI
19:06 schestowitz-TR; I have been using "db" as aliad for search-db and so far it has worked decently
19:06 schestowitz-TR; lowering my RAM usage by about 1GB
19:07 schestowitz-TR; I let it add up over time when I finally got a machine with over 2GB of RAM
19:07 schestowitz-TR; in total
19:07 Techrights-sec; Yes, the RPi4 has 4GB
19:07 Techrights-sec; Most web browsers use > 2GB with no pages loaded, just a single empty tab
