07:10 schestowitz__[TR]; <p>To sum up this response post; Martijn has his reasons for leaving and we should all respect those. We are also thankful for all the work he, and the entire postmarketOS has, poured into the Linux smartphone space and the PinePhone in particular. That said, we dont want to leave the claim that we do not listen to our development community unanswered because it is unfair and demonstrably

07:10 schestowitz__[TR]; false. We are not mindless marionettes unable to make up our own minds about what course to pursue either. As a project, PINE64 is not afraid of taking responsibility or admitting to a fault, and surely there are many mistakes that the management of the project has made in the past, but blind favoritism or unwillingness to listen to our community are not on the list.</p>

09:08 schestowitz-TR2; ----

09:09 schestowitz-TR2; yesterday in IRC (also Daily Links, but no Ed comment) I took note of a BS article sufggesting clown in place of SSH, which is noted alongside SCP

09:09 schestowitz-TR2; at the start, though SCP is deprecated

09:09 schestowitz-TR2; days ago in gemini and www I saw some articles about neat SSH tricks

09:09 schestowitz-TR2; SSH is small and simple

09:09 schestowitz-TR2; that's not a bad thing

09:09 schestowitz-TR2; it's like saying a cipher is bad because only one developer made it

09:09 schestowitz-TR2; it's just math

09:09 schestowitz-TR2; ssh is also like that

09:09 schestowitz-TR2; simple and works

09:09 schestowitz-TR2; more layers of oibfuscation means more risk, and making auiting a lot harder

09:09 schestowitz-TR2; you could do disk encryption or comms encryption with one line of code, depending on lang

09:09 schestowitz-TR2; it's like JPEG compression or zip, the underlying principles are redicible to a function

09:09 schestowitz-TR2; or a set of them

09:21 Techrights-sec; the risk seems to be the side effect of the goal : decommodification through

09:21 Techrights-sec; gratuitous complexitty and proprietary interfaces

09:22 schestowitz-TR2; like citrix

09:24 schestowitz-TR2; my sister just told me on the phone how she cannot figure out how to fix some bugs

09:24 schestowitz-TR2; because of the complexity of some of the SDL code

09:24 schestowitz-TR2; c++

09:24 schestowitz-TR2; she was recently promoted

09:24 schestowitz-TR2; I also have a cousin who works at citrix and she got swpats, as the company demands those

09:24 schestowitz-TR2; I didn't read them, but you can imagine they're all BS

09:34 Techrights-sec; yep

09:34 Techrights-sec; I think the mentality is facilitated by the media conflating attacks with

09:34 Techrights-sec; breaches. They can then point to the logs and say, "lookit all those attacks",

09:34 Techrights-sec; use our Proprietary Lock-in and avoid all that.

09:34 schestowitz-TR2; the media goes further and attributes some items in the logs to nations... "nation attacks..."

09:34 schestowitz-TR2; n korea, iran, china, russia

09:34 schestowitz-TR2; while cherry-picking for political goals

09:34 schestowitz-TR2; I very much doubt iran has a potent cybercrime unit

09:34 schestowitz-TR2; too budy kneeling on carpets and stuff...

09:35 Techrights-sec; likely so, any SW patents at this point are BS and even most of the existing

09:35 Techrights-sec; ones are neither unique nor innovative.

09:40 Techrights-sec; ack

09:43 schestowitz-TR2; this morning when rianne was walking around here I told her tuxmachines was evolving to do a lot more than html

09:43 schestowitz-TR2; and she understands all that because she sees the stages after posting new nodes (incidentally, my sister checks out the new site)

09:43 schestowitz-TR2; rianne also hates the looks of new zdnet, but I think the new focus is on infinite scroll to fake "enagagement"

09:44 schestowitz-TR2; it says sjvn has a phd in history

09:44 schestowitz-TR2; like spamnil, he comes from non-tech background

09:44 schestowitz-TR2; but anyway, i don't know how mqtt can latch onto things so as to make notifications more useful

09:44 schestowitz-TR2; hence I did some search around gnome and kde the other day

09:44 schestowitz-TR2; the protocol for messages passing seems to be mostly a bot for other bots

09:46 Techrights-sec; :)

09:46 Techrights-sec; yes it looks like ZDNet is going for the mobilephone infinite scroll crap

09:46 Techrights-sec; some custom python scripts are possible if the blocking of self-signed

09:46 Techrights-sec; certificates can be circumvented. prior to that blocking, it was dead simple

09:46 Techrights-sec; to script various monitors, triggers, or postings

09:46 Techrights-sec; the protocol sends a message of n bytes to authorized, subscribed clients

09:46 schestowitz-TR2; infinite scoll: force-feeding to people articles they did NOT ask for in order to claim more "views" (of things that appear outside view)

09:46 schestowitz-TR2; the new cargo cult of "hit"-obsessed people

09:46 schestowitz-TR2; they could just stuff 100 images in one page and then claim huge increase in "hits"

09:47 Techrights-sec; not quite the right application of the epithet "cargo cult" but otherwise

09:47 Techrights-sec; spot on

09:47 Techrights-sec; people spend 15 minutes and 50 clicks doing what used to take 2 minutes and 3 or 4 clicks, yet the a-holes now assert that the former is an improvement because

09:47 Techrights-sec; of increased "engagement"

09:51 schestowitz-TR2; to borrow an analogy or use case, to read an 'article' you now scroll through 20 "tweets" and "give impression" to 100 comments (crap) along the way

09:51 schestowitz-TR2; good for measurable "enegagement"

09:51 schestowitz-TR2; but instead you could read a 10-paragraph article in newswaffle with an image on top

09:51 schestowitz-TR2; also, the accuracy of such an article is likely to be high

09:51 schestowitz-TR2; i did a video on the new service around newswaffle yesterday, just hours after the announcement

09:51 schestowitz-TR2; btw, I am getting code at unicode because I recognise how helpful it is at dodging images

09:51 schestowitz-TR2; if your system already has all the glyphs, then just invoke these

09:51 schestowitz-TR2; to render at the client side

09:51 schestowitz-TR2; 32-bit (as in literally 32 zeros and ones) should be enough

09:51 schestowitz-TR2; and keep the server easier to figure out

09:51 schestowitz-TR2; new tuxmachines is usually just one page, one image at most

09:52 Techrights-sec; ack

09:55 schestowitz-TR2; if you check TR git (git show ..) you can see further changes made to the tuxmachines IRC stuff

09:55 schestowitz-TR2; google.com seems to have already indexed and is now listing about a third of new TM

09:55 schestowitz-TR2; OK, same for images

09:55 schestowitz-TR2; it has like 70 images from the site in Google Images

09:55 schestowitz-TR2; that's a pretty fast adoption

09:55 schestowitz-TR2; for a new subdomain

10:51 schestowitz-TR2; can you examine the git commit just made

10:51 schestowitz-TR2; and maybe push to live for quick testing?

10:51 schestowitz-TR2; i think it has fuctional advantage

10:51 schestowitz-TR2; and pses no issues to older browsers

10:51 Techrights-sec; checking


11 AM, August 21

11:04 Techrights-sec; a problem is that the ::after part, as it stands, will afflict also the "Read On

11:04 Techrights-sec; links

11:07 Techrights-sec; ok

11:07 Techrights-sec; another is that it duplicates a little of CamelCase.pm

11:07 Techrights-sec; but the idea of improved attribution is important

11:09 schestowitz-TR2; i didn't regard this to be a problem, but maybe you dislike it

11:09 schestowitz-TR2; the idea is predictability and attribution by source name

11:09 schestowitz-TR2; yes, I was well aware of camelcase, also in sight of you pushing a commit an hour or less ago

11:09 Techrights-sec; it would be advanatageous to minimize needing to maintain parallel data sets

11:09 Techrights-sec; though CamelCase.pm is in a different repository :/

11:14 schestowitz-TR2; one option is to write a scanner/parse fuction to produce a subset of camelcase

11:14 schestowitz-TR2; maybe there is also a way to factorise, with css class, some of the style

11:14 schestowitz-TR2; obv. we should avoid jquery/js

11:14 schestowitz-TR2; with them, it's possible to extract domain of url

11:14 schestowitz-TR2; but the domain does not always say much

11:14 schestowitz-TR2; camelcase has two portions of interest in each like

11:14 schestowitz-TR2; a simple sed can yield a css thing

11:14 schestowitz-TR2; but thousands of lines there are not relevant to TM

11:14 schestowitz-TR2; hence I chose some commonly linked sites and sropped there

11:14 schestowitz-TR2; did not even properly indent the thing, just wanted to test the impact

11:15 Techrights-sec; I agree, no js,

11:15 Techrights-sec; There are over 3800 hosts / domains listed in CamelCase.pm atm

11:15 Techrights-sec; even a subset would make the CSS file monsterously large, all for just one rule

11:15 Techrights-sec; extra per post. So I would think that something in the script would work..

11:15 Techrights-sec; The "Read On" link is easy to identify and thus modify from within the

11:15 Techrights-sec; tm-add- script

11:17 schestowitz-TR2; that would then extend to gemini and other (future) protocols

11:17 schestowitz-TR2; as in, check tld, compare to camelcase, if match found, append

11:18 Techrights-sec; yes, I think that would be feasible to use in Gemini too

11:18 Techrights-sec; For the XHTML documents, would adding a title attribute to the ReadOn link

11:18 Techrights-sec; be good? That will be visible on mouseover. Or should there be something

11:18 Techrights-sec; in the main text?

11:21 schestowitz-TR2; good point, if you already do O(n) pass on each URL (of this class, or many any class in a list of links too)

11:21 schestowitz-TR2; then you could append title="" as well

11:21 schestowitz-TR2; from a usability POV, hovering should not repeat the anchoir text

11:21 schestowitz-TR2; and if the domain is appended

11:21 schestowitz-TR2; and status bar typically (by default) shows target url

11:21 schestowitz-TR2; when what's left for title to say?

11:21 *psydroid2 (~psydroid@memzbmehf99re.irc) has joined #boycottnovell

11:21 Techrights-sec;

11:21 Techrights-sec; right

11:21 Techrights-sec; The name of the site in plain language would be possible, with the

11:21 Techrights-sec; lookup module.

11:23 schestowitz-TR2; so you want title to contain site name

11:23 schestowitz-TR2; (of note: sometimes in sections like Security and such we have URLs to more political sites, like those in camelcase)

11:23 Techrights-sec; Yes, so this one,

11:23 Techrights-sec; http://news.tuxmachines.org/n/2022/08/21/What_Is_a_Login_Shell_in_Linux.shtml

↺ http://news.tuxmachines.org/n/2022/08/21/What_Is_a_Login_Shell_in_Linux.shtml

11:23 Techrights-sec; would have title="Make Use Of" in the "Read On" link

11:26 schestowitz-TR2; maybe "Read the original in [site name]"?

11:31 Techrights-sec; that sounds good and can be added, but now the question keeping

11:31 Techrights-sec; the module up to date arises

11:31 Techrights-sec; It'd be nice to have it part of the work flow but not sure how to do it

11:31 Techrights-sec; 1) easily, 2) reliably, 3) safely

11:46 schestowitz-TR2; maybe "Read the original in [site name]"?

11:46 schestowitz-TR2; I'm working on CSS to make title display on hover

11:46 schestowitz-TR2; just pushed cutom title

11:46 schestowitz-TR2; it takes the title and presents it on hover, to the right hand side

11:46 schestowitz-TR2; with OK contrast, I hope

11:46 Techrights-sec; it's not in the CSS but the XHTML itself,

11:46 Techrights-sec; <a href="..." title="...">...</a>

11:55 Techrights-sec; the :hover is redundant since the browsers show the title in a small box near

11:55 Techrights-sec; the mouse cursor on hover anyway

11:56 schestowitz-TR2; right, it can just be there all the time

11:56 schestowitz-TR2; I think only the "previous" and "next" text contain title at the moment

noon, August 21

12:28 schestowitz-TR2; earlier in the kitchen I realised I had missed an opportunity to use camlcase to convert domains into site names in the url.sh script

12:28 schestowitz-TR2; I've just added that

12:28 schestowitz-TR2; it'll improve irc, showing.e.g. "uni Toronto" instead of utcc

12:28 schestowitz-TR2; the change required was about 2 lines long, testing now, will push shortly


1 PM, August 21

13:01 Techrights-sec; there are about 1600 unique host names from the links in tm-new's document root

13:01 Techrights-sec; checking and adding to CamelCase.pm if needed, but a proper workflow will be

13:01 Techrights-sec; needed for daily updates

13:01 schestowitz-TR2; a lot if not all links in TM get across to Techrights eventually

13:01 schestowitz-TR2; so if they're covered in TR, then TM also

13:02 Techrights-sec; it turns out there is not much overlap just over 1000 new hosts from TM

14:04 schestowitz-TR2; in nature, overpopulation gets balanced by predators

14:04 schestowitz-TR2; with humans, the predator is other humans

14:04 schestowitz-TR2; i.e. war

14:04 schestowitz-TR2; (or starvation due to too much competition over edible resources)

14:04 schestowitz-TR2; past a certain point, even war cannot rebalance nutritional quotient

14:04 schestowitz-TR2; that's where culling gets done

14:04 schestowitz-TR2; to help some survive

14:04 schestowitz-TR2; culling can be done within a tribe

14:04 schestowitz-TR2; not universal

14:05 Techrights-sec; yes and there is a predator-prey boom-crash cycle; humans have it too except

14:05 Techrights-sec; that they are their own worst enemy; this time there is 1) only a single global

14:05 Techrights-sec; civilization 2) we've pulled up the ladder

14:05 Techrights-sec; so when this one crashes, there will be no return

14:05 Techrights-sec; anyway, looking at the matter of title="" there in TM, there seems to be no

14:05 Techrights-sec; practical way to accomplish it; technically it is possible but it would

14:05 Techrights-sec; be problematic all the way around to keep such a list up to date

14:05 Techrights-sec; even if it were integrated into the suite of scripts

14:10 schestowitz-TR2; thanks for at least looking into it

14:10 schestowitz-TR2; I can implement this at my end

14:10 schestowitz-TR2; using url.sh

14:10 schestowitz-TR2; it won't always add a title, just sometimes

14:10 schestowitz-TR2; is that OK with you?

14:10 schestowitz-TR2; also, can you integrate the latest commit?

14:20 Techrights-sec; sounds fine

14:20 Techrights-sec; checking the commit

14:20 Techrights-sec; the new CSS file is in place now

14:28 schestowitz-TR2; can you please deploy again to the site?

14:28 schestowitz-TR2; I think I left out a crucial bit

14:28 schestowitz-TR2; just testing before I spend time implementing the title thing at the data entry level


3 PM, August 21

15:03 schestowitz-TR2; one of us, maybe me, "locked" ytalk, I guess

15:03 schestowitz-TR2; ctrl+s/q helps me resume it, I think

15:03 schestowitz-TR2; can you deploy the latest push, minute old?

15:03 schestowitz-TR2; that should do the trick, then I'll do url.sh

15:03 schestowitz-TR2; you can see the latest page in the site for example of what the button looks like

15:03 schestowitz-TR2; the GPD Micro PC

15:03 Techrights-sec; probably

15:03 Techrights-sec; ok

15:06 schestowitz-TR2; url.sh looks at cmelcase for most probable match, adds that as title=""

15:06 schestowitz-TR2; the css then does the rest

15:06 schestowitz-TR2; rianne and marius do not have camelcases on their PCs, so for now I can send her a copy

15:07 Techrights-sec; if it is done it is more efficient to do centrally rather than on individual

15:07 Techrights-sec; machines

15:08 schestowitz-TR2; yes, but then the addition of title="" would have to be done by tm-extract...

15:08 Techrights-sec; that would be the most efficient

15:34 Techrights-sec; that would be the most efficient

15:34 Techrights-sec; su -c 'cd /var/www/tuxmachines.org/; git pull origin master' -s /bin/sh git

15:37 schestowitz-TR2; experimenting in LibreWolf on the dry

15:37 schestowitz-TR2; this image style (css) must hgave been around for 8 years

15:37 schestowitz-TR2; I will add hover effect, too

15:37 schestowitz-TR2; excellent, thanks for this tip

15:37 schestowitz-TR2; you can see the new image layout in the GPD page

15:37 schestowitz-TR2; I will now changew my html layout to just use proper css

15:37 schestowitz-TR2; not the lazy hack we have used since 2014

15:38 Techrights-sec; in your Git clone,

15:38 Techrights-sec; cp .git/hooks/pre-commit.sample .git/hooks/pre-commit

4 PM, August 21

16:05 Techrights-sec; that would be the place to do it, but the question is how to do the upkeep

16:08 schestowitz-TR2; funny story: I 'borrowed' the code from the css of the old site

16:08 schestowitz-TR2; I had put it there around 2014

16:08 schestowitz-TR2; it had two rules, for muktware and themukt

16:08 schestowitz-TR2; back then spamnil was already starting to change between domains (5 in total so far), thinking the issue was the domain and not the material getting worse

16:08 Techrights-sec; ack

16:08 schestowitz-TR2; tfir is the fiffth domain for the same site

16:08 schestowitz-TR2; fifth culumnist si what he became

16:08 schestowitz-TR2; the list of domains no longer changes a lot, so maybe a local current copy on tm would be the reference

16:09 schestowitz-TR2; and can be manually updated about once a year

16:09 schestowitz-TR2; if at all

17:18 Techrights-sec; they seem to teach js instead

17:18 Techrights-sec; js provides more vendor lock-in

17:18 Techrights-sec; keeping it simple and sticking strictly to standards allows competition

19:17 schestowitz-TR2; netsurf deals very well with the latest changes

19:17 schestowitz-TR2; it does nto do "before" and "after" or rounded corners or shadows

19:17 schestowitz-TR2; but the visual fllbacks are good

19:17 schestowitz-TR2; not that we need to optimise for a browser so few people use

19:17 schestowitz-TR2; I notice that in netsurf the bottom "menu" shows up vertically, one item per line

19:17 schestowitz-TR2; unlike the top "menu"

19:17 schestowitz-TR2; not sure why

19:17 schestowitz-TR2; also, in the svg it gets the colour palette wrong

19:17 schestowitz-TR2; maybe they should teach kids in college, in html/www classes

19:17 schestowitz-TR2; make it work such that it shows ok in this browser, netsurd

19:17 schestowitz-TR2; otherwise you get an f

19:17 schestowitz-TR2; otherwise they teach them to optimise for bloatware

19:17 schestowitz-TR2; and that further contributes to the issue, inc. monoculture

19:17 schestowitz-TR2; rianne's first time in eu is 10 years some time in ~3 weeks from now

19:17 schestowitz-TR2; there's no place in the world that is truly stable atm

19:17 schestowitz-TR2; factors like war, climate, immigration, and poverty

19:18 schestowitz-TR2; norway is one hop away from putin

19:18 schestowitz-TR2; iirc, norway is in nato

19:18 schestowitz-TR2; a friend of mine from oslo was deployed to kosovo

19:18 Techrights-sec; ack

19:18 Techrights-sec; they seem to teach js instead

19:18 Techrights-sec; js provides more vendor lock-in

19:18 Techrights-sec; keeping it simple and sticking strictly to standards allows competition

22:02 schestowitz-TR2; the find program in busybox is not compatible with gnu, so as I work to make git tm (prototype) visible in gemini I need to make major xhcnages

22:02 schestowitz-TR2; I don't want to change the find program for fear it might break something we built already
