06:46 schestowitz-TR; i pushed a chage to git with favicon

06:46 schestowitz-TR; did not know how to pull it from the server

06:46 Techrights-sec2; tidied a lot of file system permissions in the Git repository; apparently

06:46 Techrights-sec2; that is how it is done :/

06:56 schestowitz-TR; I've been thinking how the same CMS can be fitted into TR

06:56 schestowitz-TR; like some sites that have a subsite for in-depth "investigations"

06:56 schestowitz-TR; with more flexible (freeform) HTML than a CMS facilitates

06:56 schestowitz-TR; I also had literal shower thoughts on how to migrate TM, inc. some pseudocode, but that's for much later


7 AM, July 26

07:32 Techrights-sec2; The slowing down of journalism seems to be monotonic and never recover after

07:32 Techrights-sec2; holidays and breaks.

07:32 schestowitz-TR; ha,

07:32 schestowitz-TR; iwas about to say

07:32 schestowitz-TR; a) geminispace was quiet yesterday and so far today

07:32 Techrights-sec2; ack

07:32 schestowitz-TR; b) lots og emini traffic in techrights in recent days, and its http proxy

07:32 schestowitz-TR; but tuxmachines can go on OK

07:32 schestowitz-TR; btw, I attempted to use tm-update last night

07:32 schestowitz-TR; using a command which I think worked before

07:32 schestowitz-TR; but could not get it done

07:32 schestowitz-TR; I wanted to add today's howtos as update to an earlier post

07:58 Techrights-sec2; checking

07:58 Techrights-sec2; tm-update seems to still work

07:58 Techrights-sec2; where any errors or warnings presented?

07:58 schestowitz-TR; I tried -u and then the url

07:58 schestowitz-TR; checking scrollback

07:59 Techrights-sec2; which URL ?


8 AM, July 26

08:02 schestowitz-TR; seems to be working now

08:02 schestowitz-TR; I tried with another node

08:03 Techrights-sec2; ok, that's good

08:04 schestowitz-TR; irc was derailed topic-wise before

08:04 schestowitz-TR; needs observation for now

08:04 schestowitz-TR; as it might be short-lived

08:04 schestowitz-TR; rianne is leaving for 3 days in about an hour

08:04 schestowitz-TR; but my productivity levels will be the same

08:08 Techrights-sec2; ack

08:08 schestowitz-TR; I will think how to use tmux for monitoring of the new server, which is now running but only advertised in IRC for now

08:08 schestowitz-TR; I suck at making config files for tmux session that has the panes intact even after reboots (restoring them)

08:08 schestowitz-TR; I looked into it years ago

08:08 schestowitz-TR; should we add apachetop or similar?

08:09 Techrights-sec2; what is needed ? Launching tmux like that is just a shell script

08:09 Techrights-sec2; tmux ... \; ... \; ... \;

08:09 Techrights-sec2; etc

08:11 schestowitz-TR; will think about it during breakfast, e.g. what molnitor

08:11 schestowitz-TR; given that it's an up to date OS it might make sense to put ALL the monitoring on there, inc. TR

08:11 schestowitz-TR; afaik, upon launch tmux would not initiate an ssh connection to a peer (another machine)

08:11 schestowitz-TR; brb

08:11 Techrights-sec2; ok

08:11 Techrights-sec2; tmux cannot be reasonably nested however

08:12 schestowitz-TR; btw, I paid conil this morning for the time

08:12 schestowitz-TR; we were logged in anyway

08:12 schestowitz-TR; savers' rates went up from like 0.5 aer to 2.2 for 2 years (aer)

08:13 schestowitz-TR; still FAR below inflation rate

08:13 Techrights-sec2; ack

08:13 Techrights-sec2; yes and then there are the "service" fees to cancel even those small rates out

08:14 schestowitz-TR; they give no service really

08:14 schestowitz-TR; for some task we must book appointment

08:14 schestowitz-TR; walk is in not an optiomn

08:14 schestowitz-TR; massive queue

08:14 schestowitz-TR; and to book an appointment I can gues going through bots, costing time and money

08:14 schestowitz-TR; our calling rtates are high

08:31 schestowitz-TR; \

08:31 schestowitz-TR; there are about 11 httpd service running on the VM, not sure if this is intended

08:31 schestowitz-TR; ok, so I hve a tmax session running as "tuxmachines" with just top for now

08:31 schestowitz-TR; on "cavan"

08:31 Techrights-sec2; processes, yes, probably that is set in the Apache2 configuration file

08:31 Techrights-sec2; ack

08:35 Techrights-sec2; The number of spares can be brought down if necessary. Currently it is 10 spare

08:35 Techrights-sec2; servers:

08:35 Techrights-sec2; $ grep -r -E 'StartServers|MinSpareServers|MaxSpareServers|MaxRequestWorkers' /etc/apache2

08:40 schestowitz-TR; if you are logged in as root, which I think means connected through the hv, can you make /var/log/apache2 more lierally accessible, e.g. to tuxmachines

08:40 schestowitz-TR; I want to tail -f for errors

08:40 schestowitz-TR; I am also guessing we won't be adding images to the site, as that would mean downloading a lot of files, both to the server and for visitors

08:46 Techrights-sec2; adding images would "only" be a matter of finding and tuning an acceptable work

08:46 Techrights-sec2; flow, more than just guessing and rolling out the guess into production

08:46 Techrights-sec2; Off hand, I can't think of an easy way that would involve only a single step

08:46 Techrights-sec2; or at most two steps.

08:46 Techrights-sec2; tail -f for errors would be a good idea but that is a good use-case for

08:46 Techrights-sec2; file system permissions or at worst sudo than root

08:46 Techrights-sec2; "server certificate does NOT include an ID which matches the server name"

08:46 Techrights-sec2; sftp+incron would be easier than that, but the step after that is unknown

08:46 Techrights-sec2; internal labeling within the cert is the issue, it would clear up some of the

08:46 Techrights-sec2; browser warnings as well; IIRC it is possible to make a cert which covers

08:46 Techrights-sec2; several hostnames or even a "wildcard" certificate

09:31 Techrights-sec2; several hostnames or even a "wildcard" certificate

09:31 Techrights-sec2; For the images it might be possible to have an upload directory when serves

09:31 Techrights-sec2; as a staging area; incron could remove the images, make a thumbnail, and store

09:31 Techrights-sec2; them in a yyyy/mm/dd/ subdirectory within the web server's document root;

09:31 Techrights-sec2; then at that point they'd be publicly accessibe; then when referencing them,

09:31 Techrights-sec2; an absolute URL could be used but instead of getting blocked for hotlinking

09:31 Techrights-sec2; the files could be verified via the file system and then the URL converted

09:31 Techrights-sec2; to a relative URL. However, I feel the markup part of that is too nitpicky

09:31 Techrights-sec2; to be convenient

09:31 Techrights-sec2; FOSSForce has been inactive for a long time, any other feeds that TM shouud hvhave instead?

09:31 Techrights-sec2; LWN is out too

09:31 schestowitz-TR; good point re images

09:31 schestowitz-TR; one fallback is, have another teminal open, toss wget in there with url

09:31 schestowitz-TR; then make a new local url

09:31 schestowitz-TR; but that can come much later

09:31 schestowitz-TR; we can still change the cert, it's not like people assume it's production or forgery

09:32 schestowitz-TR; Until a decade ago I would have said groklaw

09:33 schestowitz-TR; rianne has just left

09:34 Techrights-sec2; I hope she has a good / safe trip

09:34 Techrights-sec2; maybe pick random URLs daily from Groklaw and use those?

09:34 schestowitz-TR; it would not news "news." site then

10:28 schestowitz-TR; phone bank

10:28 schestowitz-TR; wait 4 minutes

10:28 schestowitz-TR; lady decides she cannot book yet

10:28 schestowitz-TR; I will phone you back

10:28 schestowitz-TR; time passes call, one ring only

10:28 schestowitz-TR; cannot answer that fast

10:28 schestowitz-TR; still waiting now

10:28 schestowitz-TR; cannot have music didn't even book an appointment yet

10:28 schestowitz-TR; "Smart"

10:28 schestowitz-TR; "Modern"

10:28 Techrights-sec2; :/

10:43 *psydruid (~psydruid@jevhxkzmtrbww.irc) has joined #boycottnovell

10:46 Techrights-sec2; if you got the name of the person from the first call, then that can be mentioned and it will still be a setback but not quite back to the beginning

10:48 schestowitz-TR; what's the point having a number for booking an appointment if the people answering are too busy to book an appointment????

10:48 schestowitz-TR; I already explained to her our needs are more compliated than site and app

10:48 schestowitz-TR; and we must see someone "urgently"

10:48 schestowitz-TR; I will probably need to phone again, starting againt from scratch

10:48 schestowitz-TR; i gave my first name but was too optimistic to take hers


11 AM, July 26

11:09 schestowitz-TR; oh phone

11:09 schestowitz-TR; holy hit

11:09 schestowitz-TR; what crap

11:09 schestowitz-TR; phone to book

11:09 schestowitz-TR; monday sue mart str. 3pm sophie

11:09 schestowitz-TR; scrobble herte for myself

11:09 schestowitz-TR; 12 mins on phone

11:09 schestowitz-TR; with manager

11:09 schestowitz-TR; what a fucking clusterfuck

11:09 schestowitz-TR; and now they say they cannot book an appointment after 2 people there said we should

11:09 schestowitz-TR; and we end up arguing about them being understaffed and misinforming clients

11:09 Techrights-sec2; it's essential, unfortunately, when dealing with bureaucracy to make a habit

11:09 Techrights-sec2; of jotting down the name, time, date, and topic onto a piece of paper or text

11:09 Techrights-sec2; file at the very /start/ of the conversation

11:09 *DaemonFC (~chatzilla@vgjrvyjw9fiyc.irc) has joined #boycottnovell

11:11 schestowitz-TR; I did, in hindsight, get the name of the first person and gave negative feedback to her manager

11:11 schestowitz-TR; maybe in the future a bank will just be "some aws account"

11:11 schestowitz-TR; "no branch"..."

11:11 schestowitz-TR; no nothing

11:11 schestowitz-TR; "online only"

11:11 schestowitz-TR; so what fucking service do the banks even GIVE?

11:12 Techrights-sec2; ack

11:14 schestowitz-TR; if you and I had the same convo 12 months agfoi I'd tell you interst rates were so laughable that you might be better off buying a safe

11:14 schestowitz-TR; and telling the bank to sod off

11:15 schestowitz-TR; you know, you need to ask for permission to take your OWN money

11:15 schestowitz-TR; that's one heck of a massive hidden risk right there

11:18 Techrights-sec2; ack

11:43 schestowitz-TR; is there a simple way to aurorun the two scripts when a new page gets added?

11:43 schestowitz-TR; yesterday I saw that if I just run "refresh" it can make all those existing pages vanish 404

11:43 schestowitz-TR; so I now export first, then refresh

11:43 schestowitz-TR; otherwise pages that I add do not show up yet, either in the index or the rss feed

11:43 Techrights-sec2; ack

11:43 Techrights-sec2; yes the refresh script should do that now the tm-extract script was added to it

11:44 schestowitz-TR; brilliant, tested just now and it works well

11:44 schestowitz-TR; it's also fast on the server

11:45 Techrights-sec2; great

11:45 Techrights-sec2; though subjectively it was fast on the RPi too

11:46 schestowitz-TR; yeah, I just remmeber weeks ago for a few seconds there would be an empty page there

11:46 schestowitz-TR; I think that when adding a page it follows that the front page should self-update, otherwise I need to up press up a couple of times (used to be 3 times) to run another com

11:46 schestowitz-TR; command

11:46 Techrights-sec2; should the addition of a record trigger an refresh? ok

11:50 schestowitz-TR; the evangelicals are winning

11:50 schestowitz-TR; locked down "computing " lobby

11:50 schestowitz-TR; the outsourcers of banks (outsoucring the jobs to clients)

11:50 schestowitz-TR; never mind war, climare, disease

11:50 schestowitz-TR; the first three are also a form of disease

11:50 schestowitz-TR; undoing centuries of human progress to suck out more capital from the "peasants"

noon, July 26

12:04 Techrights-sec2; had to fight with Git a while, try add-and-refresh-from-db.sh

12:04 Techrights-sec2; banks have discarded their traditional external customers in favor of

12:04 Techrights-sec2; financialization

12:06 schestowitz-TR; thanks, I can see now

12:06 schestowitz-TR; no -a option

12:06 schestowitz-TR; but my name is 3 letters so it's still fast

12:06 schestowitz-TR; (a lady just came from the energy supoplier to take power and gas readings, I kept distance, still a lot better than "online" and spy meters)

12:06 schestowitz-TR; but it scales poorly when only few households need a visit

12:09 schestowitz-TR; I'm relieved I did not screw up git last night, it was my first commit to that repo, I struggled a little at first

12:09 schestowitz-TR; as I tried to then pull in the fivicon changes to the server and did not succeed

12:09 Techrights-sec2; checking

12:09 Techrights-sec2; ack

12:09 Techrights-sec2; git is a bit complicated in most situations and the EXT file systems don't make

12:09 Techrights-sec2; shared work easier

12:16 *psydruid (~psydruid@jevhxkzmtrbww.irc) has left #boycottnovell

12:18 schestowitz-TR; yay. I've just made my firust successful page update.

12:18 schestowitz-TR; it's the one that says "UDPATEDx1" in the front page

12:18 schestowitz-TR; I had to run the refresh script after that for chasnges to take effect

12:18 schestowitz-TR; next I will try your new util

12:18 schestowitz-TR; I am guessing that to "bump it up" I'd have to change the date too

12:18 schestowitz-TR; in quiterss the update is not detected as I think it checks the url in the entry, which is the same,

12:18 schestowitz-TR; not the title change

12:18 schestowitz-TR; but different rss readers behave differentlty

12:19 *Despatche has quit (Quit: Read error: Connection reset by deer)

12:21 Techrights-sec2; excellent

12:21 Techrights-sec2; It should be in the feed by the modification date

12:21 Techrights-sec2; Within any given date though, things are sorted by record number.

12:21 Techrights-sec2; So it's there, there' just no hour:minute tracking

12:21 Techrights-sec2; a timestamp could be added to the keys table maybe

12:21 Techrights-sec2; ok thanks, it is best to keep it as simple as possible

12:21 Techrights-sec2; oh, I suppose there should be db locking for writes so that there are

12:21 Techrights-sec2; not problems like a race condition when (if) two edit at the same moment

12:23 schestowitz-TR; no need, the schema can stay simple for a simple site/s

12:23 schestowitz-TR; being able to post today's howtos as clusters helps compact the "bulletin"

12:23 schestowitz-TR; while at the same time having a fast burst of updates

12:23 schestowitz-TR; with indicating of when new stuff is added

12:23 schestowitz-TR; like a dozen stories about some system76 announcement

12:23 schestowitz-TR; i would have imagine that this is dealy with (lcokin) at the DB level, like queing up write operations

12:23 schestowitz-TR; but I don't know much about sqlite, we use postgres at work and I used mysql since ~2000 a lot

12:23 schestowitz-TR; sqlite is a quiet giant

12:24 *psydruid (~psydruid@jevhxkzmtrbww.irc) has joined #boycottnovell

12:24 Techrights-sec2; I'll need to rearrange the internal workflow quite a bit for that one

12:24 Techrights-sec2; script, but I think it is a good idea to get that fixed

12:28 schestowitz-TR; so far it has been sufficientl.y robust from the users' end, in the sense that what's there does not break

12:28 schestowitz-TR; except last night when I ran the two commands or just one and then all the pages temporarily vanished

12:28 schestowitz-TR; the update mechanisms are great and importanty

12:28 schestowitz-TR; evenmn Gulag NOISE USED (used!) to cluster stories

12:28 schestowitz-TR; it got worse over time

12:28 schestowitz-TR; now, in rss, it does not provide excewprts

12:28 schestowitz-TR; I think for legal reasons (fair use litigation)

12:28 schestowitz-TR; but to see ALL the important stories reader rely on clustering, such as howtos all in one place

12:28 schestowitz-TR; programming in one place, ordered by language etc.

12:28 schestowitz-TR; next, I will try the new data entry util you made

12:28 schestowitz-TR; I just need to find material to enter, it's not longer a "junk" site to have a knock on

12:28 schestowitz-TR; btw, in apache configs I comments out 8 lines (4 http, 4 https) in case we want to restrict some things again

12:28 schestowitz-TR; this morning when I checked access logs it was around 4k lines

12:40 schestowitz-TR; using the new script, it yielded the 30th record

12:40 schestowitz-TR; the front page was updated

12:40 schestowitz-TR; but the page itself (the new page) is 404

12:40 schestowitz-TR; so maybe missing a step

12:40 schestowitz-TR; it's the linky you sent me, open source xplained

12:40 schestowitz-TR; at the top

12:40 Techrights-sec2; I saw the Apache2 configuration change.

12:40 Techrights-sec2; what is the URL for the problem page? I can check

12:40 Techrights-sec2; checking

12:40 schestowitz-TR; thanks

12:41 Techrights-sec2; yep a step was skipped, puzzling since I recall writing it in

12:41 Techrights-sec2; fixing ...

12:42 schestowitz-TR; thanks, I noticed it now defaults to submitted using "Tux Machines"

12:42 schestowitz-TR; or should I run this xcript with my personal account, "roy", instead?

12:44 Techrights-sec2; ok corrected script

12:44 Techrights-sec2; defaults can be overridden but it takes the name from the $USER info

12:50 schestowitz-TR; it has shaped up to the point where rianne just needs to log in as rianne, run

12:50 schestowitz-TR; one comment, it autocompletes most things, "tidy"[ies] it up and then she can check the outcome

12:50 schestowitz-TR; I think marius is not checking his protonmail account, it might be years old

12:50 schestowitz-TR; he's a very nice person btw

12:50 schestowitz-TR; very reliable and principled too

12:50 schestowitz-TR; will never cover microsoft shit, ever

12:50 schestowitz-TR; i think it's part of the problem he had at softpedia

12:52 Techrights-sec2; yes

12:52 Techrights-sec2; good to hear

12:52 Techrights-sec2; too bad, it's a shame so many sell out and/or fall for the lies

12:52 Techrights-sec2; it's not that the lies are believable it's just that some are so eager to

12:52 Techrights-sec2; bend reality to believe the lies

12:52 *wallacer (~quassel@6bsu33ajs4zs4.irc) has joined #boycottnovell

12:53 schestowitz-TR; now softpedia is all but officially a dead site

12:53 schestowitz-TR; you'll never see it

12:53 schestowitz-TR; they started their own death spiral

12:53 schestowitz-TR; btw, lxer aired out story, part iii, re security

12:53 schestowitz-TR; 95% of gnu/linux users don't trust microsoft

12:53 schestowitz-TR; but they are not in "publishers"

12:53 schestowitz-TR; don't pass muster

12:53 Techrights-sec2; I'm surprised it is such a low number ;)

12:56 schestowitz-TR; imho

12:56 schestowitz-TR; there are two (or more) types of "linux users"

12:56 schestowitz-TR; people who use it "at work" on some server but use windows/mac on a laptop

12:56 schestowitz-TR; and people who actually univerally gnu/linux users

12:56 schestowitz-TR; the former are the "practical" types who call the latters zealots

12:56 Techrights-sec2; the CSS still needs tweaking for some of the posts ???

12:56 schestowitz-TR; because it's "only for geeks"

12:56 schestowitz-TR; that's because gnu/linux became so dominant in servers that they always deploy to it

12:57 schestowitz-TR; even from some mac witrh electron or whatnot

12:57 schestowitz-TR; and then they use LF, OSI etc. to wield influence

12:57 schestowitz-TR; they are "linux tourists"

12:58 schestowitz-TR; wait, no, it was worse as it took down the bodiy of the page to the bottom, BELOW 9to5Linux

12:59 schestowitz-TR; one thing i noticed, in some browsers (a day ago in quiterss, maybe resolved already),

12:59 schestowitz-TR; if the title of a post is very long it would rather push out the right-hand pane to the botton of the page than expand the title (headline) to a second/third line

12:59 schestowitz-TR; depending on the browser

12:59 schestowitz-TR; wait, no, it was worse as it took down the bodiy of the page to the bottom, BELOW 9to5Linux


1 PM, July 26

13:00 Techrights-sec2; yes I would like it to do that but don't know how; I spent quite bit of time

13:00 Techrights-sec2; on just that, last week, but made no progress.

13:00 Techrights-sec2; the way to experiment with that is not via the live CSS nor the live scripts

13:00 Techrights-sec2; but to save a copy of one of the posts locally and work on it in the local

13:00 Techrights-sec2; file system without a web server; however, after spending quite a bit of time

13:00 Techrights-sec2; on it, I was still no closer to the desired result;

13:03 schestowitz-TR; I have had this problem in my personal blog,as the engines that are not gecko render the side menu always at the bottom

13:03 schestowitz-TR; the same thing happened with techrights wiki sidebar

13:03 schestowitz-TR; a decade later I didn't find a solution and hardly pursued one

13:03 schestowitz-TR; the web is too complex

13:03 schestowitz-TR; you change nothing in your site

13:03 schestowitz-TR; then opera renders it wrong

13:03 schestowitz-TR; then chromne

13:03 schestowitz-TR; and then chrome becomes almost every browser

13:03 schestowitz-TR; so your old page suddenly looks "wrong"

13:03 schestowitz-TR; lwn always kept it simple and it seems to work well on many devices

13:03 schestowitz-TR; what they wrote about wipo was biased and disappointin

13:03 schestowitz-TR; they have quite a history doing this...

13:03 schestowitz-TR; Corbet was author... LF

13:08 Techrights-sec2; ack

13:08 Techrights-sec2; as predicted the Xbox was / is a testbed for DRM in commodity hardware

13:08 schestowitz-TR; not just xbox

13:09 schestowitz-TR; the tpm ambitions go a long way back

13:10 *DaemonFC has quit (Quit: ChatZilla 0.13 [SeaMonkey 2.53.13/20220708150114])

13:10 Techrights-sec2; yes but the Xbox, specifically, was a step along that road and very clear

13:10 Techrights-sec2; about what their long term goals were;

13:10 Techrights-sec2; They also went after a BIOS maker long prior to UEFI

13:11 schestowitz-TR; TR covered the Pheonix affairs several times

13:11 schestowitz-TR; and said it was about locking things down

13:11 schestowitz-TR; it was around 2008 or 2009

13:11 schestowitz-TR; half a decade before security threatre geneticiss as a mole

13:12 Techrights-sec2; yes; sadly when such attacks appear as incremental changes or as "too technical"

13:12 Techrights-sec2; then the public not just lets the attacks slide but eventually come to embrace

13:12 Techrights-sec2; them after 18 months or so

13:14 schestowitz-TR; it is an eternal fight-back

13:14 schestowitz-TR; china won't take shit

13:14 schestowitz-TR; and so you can hope that on a national level these measures will be thwarted

13:14 schestowitz-TR; like germany turning down UEFI sec theatre

13:14 schestowitz-TR; and russia putting in the bin some so-called 'IP'

13:14 schestowitz-TR; china can reverse-engineer and how the know-how for making the same chips

13:14 schestowitz-TR; sans the BS

13:14 schestowitz-TR; like the TN physical machine, which lacks the ME

13:14 schestowitz-TR; *TM

13:16 Techrights-sec2; China wants the same control but with them in charge so they don't object

13:16 Techrights-sec2; to the technology as much as about who is holding the reins

13:16 Techrights-sec2; soon lacking the ME or the TPM3 or the Pluton will be deemed illegal

13:16 Techrights-sec2; just like whitebox PCs were deemed illegal by bought-and-paid-for politicians

13:16 Techrights-sec2; around the globe

13:18 schestowitz-TR; being naked (PC) in public is indecent, at the very least

13:18 schestowitz-TR; and not buying a PC encumbered with Bill and Lolita Gates malware

13:18 schestowitz-TR; is a sign of sympathy for ISIS

13:18 schestowitz-TR; also: according to Bill and Lolita Gates, encryption should be illegal,

13:18 schestowitz-TR; except when Bill and Lolita Gates use it

13:18 schestowitz-TR; and in Twitter criticising the death cult of Bill and Lolita Gates is

13:18 schestowitz-TR; also illegal

13:18 schestowitz-TR; and will get you repeate4dly suspended

13:18 schestowitz-TR; until you stop mentioning the Bill and Lolita Gates Foundation

13:18 schestowitz-TR; and how it profits from death

13:18 Techrights-sec2; or some such excuse though the politicians seem to gain from allowing the daesh

13:18 Techrights-sec2; to spread and increase

13:18 Techrights-sec2; yep

13:18 Techrights-sec2; I've noticed that

13:18 Techrights-sec2; for a long time

13:18 Techrights-sec2; same for Reddit, where Bill's minions control most of the forums

13:19 Techrights-sec2; and subforums

13:21 schestowitz-TR; I've noticed how, since Pro Publica bagged bribes from Bill and Lolita Gates Foundation

13:21 schestowitz-TR; it still write about tax evasion and oligarchs but leaps over the mention of Bill

13:21 schestowitz-TR; and stop its seires about the Microsoft IRS affairs

13:21 schestowitz-TR; the corrupting power of money

13:21 schestowitz-TR; to me, Pro Publica is something that used to be good,

13:21 schestowitz-TR; Lessign was a big fan of it

13:21 schestowitz-TR; but funding must have run low (very few new stories, shorter ones, less impact)

13:21 schestowitz-TR; and so they fail to see what a libility Epstein-stained green paper will entail

13:34 psydruid; will backdoored hardware be outlawed in all societies?

13:35 psydruid; what about smaller semiconductor companies who aren't in on the scheme?

13:44 schestowitz-TR; they will tolerate some

13:45 schestowitz-TR; as long as or until it becomes "unberable" risk to the ruling class

13:45 schestowitz-TR; this is how they also treat the media and WBer

13:47 schestowitz-TR; *unbearable

13:47 schestowitz-TR; secure technologyu means stuff like endless EPO leaks

13:47 schestowitz-TR; which they cannot put an end to

13:47 schestowitz-TR; as they have no bloody clue whoi does what

13:47 schestowitz-TR; and this is why we get loads of material

13:55 psydruid; it seems most IT jobs are in surveillance companies directly or indirectly these days

13:55 psydruid; and that's called having a career

13:56 schestowitz-TR; that's correct

13:56 schestowitz-TR; not just spying

13:56 schestowitz-TR; military in general;

13:56 schestowitz-TR; I did a one hour video about it a few months ago

13:56 schestowitz-TR; part of a serie

13:56 schestowitz-TR; based on a source who worked in one such company

13:57 schestowitz-TR; I will continue that series some day

13:57 schestowitz-TR; remember how much capital the US regime sink into "defense" each year

13:57 schestowitz-TR; that money ends up in some private companies which offer 6-figure and 7-figure salaeries

13:57 schestowitz-TR; while the nation itself is drowning in debt it can never pay back


2 PM, July 26

14:00 psydruid; you are considered a failure, if you don't go for such a 6-figure or 7-figure salary yourself

14:01 psydruid; because if you don't, other people will and have "great" lives

14:01 psydruid; by selling your soul out to the highest bidder

14:02 schestowitz-TR; yes, but they use the wrong yardstick

14:02 schestowitz-TR; I pity them

14:03 schestowitz-TR; all their work is not theirs

14:03 schestowitz-TR; they're also working very tiring, long hour

14:03 schestowitz-TR; *hours

14:03 schestowitz-TR; Techrights-sec2:

14:03 schestowitz-TR; the all-in-one script for registering a new page has worked flawlessly, I've just had something to test it with

14:03 schestowitz-TR; rianne's laptop is still offline, so she probably focuses on chatting with her widow aunt

14:03 schestowitz-TR; no smell of cooking this afternoon :(

14:03 schestowitz-TR; but she took the cooking book we received to read on the train

14:13 Techrights-sec2; ack

14:19 schestowitz-TR; there is some decent food available, but not much

14:19 schestowitz-TR; when ti runs out I can use cereal, peanuts, and mixed nuts as fallbacks

14:20 schestowitz-TR; but would rather pace down consumption of the "proper" foods, esp. fruit and veg

14:20 schestowitz-TR; I did not eat healthy as a student

14:20 schestowitz-TR; and probably pay for it to this day

14:20 schestowitz-TR; larry lessig used to incorporate into his talks the old story about the

14:20 schestowitz-TR; warning that digital machines would harm the vocal chords

14:20 schestowitz-TR; by discouraging people learning how to sing and use their voice

14:20 schestowitz-TR; to entertain peers

14:20 schestowitz-TR; I think the same is true for cooking now, esp. with processed food

14:20 schestowitz-TR; it's more expensive to bake a cake now than to make a fresh one on one's own

14:20 schestowitz-TR; never mind the cost of time

14:20 schestowitz-TR; and with overworked labour forces that won't improve

14:20 schestowitz-TR; and kids are now educated or raised by gadgets instead of proper parenting

14:20 schestowitz-TR; which is a cascading effects of sorts

14:20 schestowitz-TR; my mom bemoans [redacted] having kids that he does not know how to raised, s

14:20 schestowitz-TR; spends no time with, spends no money on

14:20 schestowitz-TR; and as a part-time working mom who devoted her life to the kids (I was the favourite)

14:20 schestowitz-TR; she finds this inexcsusable that people would turn out like this

14:20 schestowitz-TR; a chain of beating parents are not chains of totally cluelless parents who have

14:20 schestowitz-TR; neither time nor clue about raising kids, so corporations fill up the vacuum

14:20 schestowitz-TR; with Skinner boxes

14:21 schestowitz-TR; preservatives that contain a lot of sodium (iirc) are not good for the gut, but practical [sic] in "fast-moving" "always-on" world

14:34 Techrights-sec2; ack

14:34 Techrights-sec2; yes kids are raised by companies via the gadgets and have many times

14:34 Techrights-sec2; more contact hours per day with the companies' agendas than they do with

14:34 Techrights-sec2; their own peers and family combined. Then if you consider that their peers

14:34 Techrights-sec2; are subjected to the same indoctrination, the effect is even stronger.

14:34 schestowitz-TR; can you chain refresh-site-from-db to update page, please?

14:34 schestowitz-TR; I've just added a second lump of howtos

14:34 schestowitz-TR; and needed to run refresh to apply the changes to the static file (from DB)

14:34 schestowitz-TR; now we can update stuff more rapidly, "UPDATEx[number]" might become common

14:35 schestowitz-TR; I assume that changing the date will help bump it back up to current date

14:35 schestowitz-TR; as the DB scans for current date or rather the script scans the DB based on this kield

14:35 schestowitz-TR; *field

14:35 schestowitz-TR; I don't know what the primary key is, but I assume page ID#, sequential

14:46 Techrights-sec2; refreshed

14:46 Techrights-sec2; btw look at https://news.tuxmachines.org/n/2022/07/26/Open_Source_Explained.shtml

↺ https://news.tuxmachines.org/n/2022/07/26/Open_Source_Explained.shtml

14:46 Techrights-sec2; with CSS there is no need for a linked image

14:46 Techrights-sec2; I'll add a wrapper script like for the new records

14:46 -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-news.tuxmachines.org | Open Source Explained

14:49 schestowitz-TR; in 2020 we rebuilt the front page of TR to contain nothing more than a single HTML file

14:49 schestowitz-TR; and you made your second, fluid version for narrow devices like fonts

14:49 schestowitz-TR; they are still accessed a great deal

14:49 schestowitz-TR; I think that if the new tuxmachines is less than 100kb for each page

14:49 schestowitz-TR; and even linked images are rescaled at the server side (not the browser) it'll make navigation very much better

14:49 schestowitz-TR; at the moment it's easy to move between the last nodes as if they were a photo album

14:49 schestowitz-TR; if later on we add a gemini directory, say /g/

14:49 schestowitz-TR; the images won't be of use anyway, unless they're linked to from the same directory, a local directory, with another protocol

14:50 Techrights-sec2; update-and-refresh-from-db.sh

14:50 Techrights-sec2; it takes a url as an option iif it works

14:52 schestowitz-TR; that script works, yes... and I assume amending the date would act as a "sticky note" for pages that keep updating for days

14:52 schestowitz-TR; to append further links on same topic/theme

14:52 schestowitz-TR; to compact things

14:52 schestowitz-TR; google used to do a decent job at it until around 2011

14:52 schestowitz-TR; Gulag Noise... before the Noise outweighed the signal

14:52 schestowitz-TR; they sabotaged their own "product" (disservice)

14:52 schestowitz-TR; partly for legal reasons, I think

14:55 Techrights-sec2; the date modified gets updated so the updated records will appear in the

14:55 Techrights-sec2; batch of recent posts, but currently that is a fixed number so if it is 11 out

14:55 Techrights-sec2; of 10 allowed it will not show up. The script perhaps ought to be modified

14:55 Techrights-sec2; so that it is n records or m days worth of records, whichever is larger

14:55 schestowitz-TR; I noticed that and thought 10 might be too small, given the "cheapness" of just an itemised list of plain URLs with short text

14:55 schestowitz-TR; those are good from a usability and crawling POV


3 PM, July 26

15:04 Techrights-sec2; yes 10 is too small

15:04 Techrights-sec2; Ok, it;s increased to 15 for now until the OR can be added.

15:04 Techrights-sec2; pushing to Git in a bit

15:04 schestowitz-TR; oh, very nice! 100% css, works in falkon

15:04 schestowitz-TR; librewold (gecko) also

15:04 schestowitz-TR; I'll need to update our temnplates

15:04 schestowitz-TR; rianne's also

15:04 schestowitz-TR; and the script that vomits out that template

15:04 schestowitz-TR; hang on...

15:04 schestowitz-TR; oih, wait

15:04 schestowitz-TR; that would then not work across in the "old" site

15:05 schestowitz-TR; so not yet

15:05 schestowitz-TR; my irc checker has just output 5 new links, so I assume that alkso expanded the scope of the xml file to 15 (from 10)

15:09 Techrights-sec2; yes

15:09 Techrights-sec2; ^ it's increased to 15 for now uintil the OR can be added to the approriate

15:09 Techrights-sec2; script

15:09 schestowitz-TR; coming to think of it, the irc checker can double up as a downtime alerter at a later stage

15:09 schestowitz-TR; for now all the monitoring I have is tmux on cavan

15:09 schestowitz-TR; our gemini capsule is 100% uptime since the major power outage

15:09 schestowitz-TR; I monitor is constantly

15:09 schestowitz-TR; dns needing update it the biggest risk

15:15 schestowitz-TR; just checked some of the bash wrappers to perl

15:15 schestowitz-TR; to see if dialog fits (it does not)

15:15 schestowitz-TR; your code is very neatly written and organised

15:15 schestowitz-TR; compared to mine

15:15 schestowitz-TR; but if I put more time/effort into mine, it would improve

15:15 schestowitz-TR; a lot of TM and TR became your force multipliers

15:15 schestowitz-TR; up until 2018 most stuff was manual

15:15 schestowitz-TR; i used dialog to amke some ncurses UIs for rianne

15:15 schestowitz-TR; and that saves her time

15:15 schestowitz-TR; she does not use git, but she now saves files to a repo of shared files, which automates backups

15:15 schestowitz-TR; and makes sharing stuff very simple

15:22 Techrights-sec2; the neatness is actually the quick way to write it

15:22 Techrights-sec2; I'm not sure ncurses would help here but I have no objection to it

15:22 Techrights-sec2; if it can fit into the work flow AND there is insistence on it

15:24 schestowitz-TR; dialogue only comes in hjandy for non free-form text input

15:24 schestowitz-TR; like "select from the following users"

15:24 schestowitz-TR; for tuxmachines it would not add anything

15:24 schestowitz-TR; with the browser I sometimes streamline the postings using multiple tacs

15:43 Techrights-sec2; planning is needed to streamline it

15:45 schestowitz-TR; re irc page in new site, should we add the kiwi-irc applet there?

15:45 schestowitz-TR; something similar to "old"?

15:45 schestowitz-TR; I was about to say, if you set up the html file for that page, then I can dump the stuff into it via git

15:45 schestowitz-TR; btw, new pages don't have the favicon stuff in them yet

15:45 schestowitz-TR; so I was guessing you did not pull those changes in to prod.

15:45 schestowitz-TR; I tried last night and was horribly confused

15:47 Techrights-sec2; the IRC page has a placeholder. I'll look at the Favicon stuff now

15:47 Techrights-sec2; (just pushed script changes to Git too)

15:48 schestowitz-TR; did yhou add/push irc template/placeholdder?

15:48 schestowitz-TR; I've pulled, grep'ed "irc" a

15:48 schestowitz-TR; and nothing in git show either

15:48 Techrights-sec2; just made a hardlink from the Icon for favicon.ico

15:48 Techrights-sec2; not yet, I'll add the IRC placeholder

16:05 Techrights-sec2; ok pushed to Git

16:05 Techrights-sec2; sequoia looks promising

16:05 Techrights-sec2; through active neglect and chasing irrelevant goals, perhaps at the behest

16:05 Techrights-sec2; of her paymaster, Google

16:05 Techrights-sec2; yep a poison kitchen

16:05 schestowitz-TR; a baker in Gulag's "poison kitchen"

16:05 schestowitz-TR; let's get rid of rss

16:05 schestowitz-TR; get rid of xul too

16:06 Techrights-sec2; tm-generate-feed.pl now does an OR of the sets produced by -d and -n if

16:06 Techrights-sec2; they are both used at the same time;

16:09 Techrights-sec2; I have no idea, the permissions are still a mess

16:09 Techrights-sec2; try from your account

16:09 Techrights-sec2; git commit -m 'relevant commment' irc.shtml

16:09 Techrights-sec2; git push origin HEAD:master

16:09 Techrights-sec2; that might work

16:09 schestowitz-TR; I pushed it OK, I just don't know how to pull in the changes from the server side, even selectively for that file

16:09 schestowitz-TR; I reckon some accounts like tuxmachines

16:09 schestowitz-TR; lack direct access to some of these files

16:09 Techrights-sec2; great

16:09 Techrights-sec2; git pull origin master

16:11 schestowitz-TR; ok, that worked from your end, with some screen sizes itg looks better than with others... testing...

16:14 schestowitz-TR; <techrights-news> Michael Larabel has just changed his profile picture in all Phoronix pages to https://www.phoronix.com/assets/categories/michaellarabel.webp

↺ https://www.phoronix.com/assets/categories/michaellarabel.webp

16:15 Techrights-sec2; he's not looking happy any more, perhaps because of the fallout from selling out

16:15 Techrights-sec2; and what the act of selling out did to him inside

16:16 schestowitz-TR; he gained a lot of weight, but this photo does not show it

16:16 schestowitz-TR; I saw him

16:16 schestowitz-TR; he has a bit of a beer belly

16:16 schestowitz-TR; he used to be very thin

16:19 Techrights-sec2; as well as what it did to his reader base

16:19 Techrights-sec2; I hope his health is ok and that he can recover both physically and morally

16:22 schestowitz-TR; wife lost job

16:22 schestowitz-TR; baby born

16:22 schestowitz-TR; wait, opposite order

16:22 schestowitz-TR; the order matters

16:22 schestowitz-TR; and then power bills up sharply

16:22 schestowitz-TR; and many readers tight with money

16:22 schestowitz-TR; which lwn said caused many casncelations in the wake of covid

16:22 schestowitz-TR; to his credit, he is VERY hard-working

16:22 schestowitz-TR; just no longer as principled

16:23 schestowitz-TR; I think dire straits

16:23 schestowitz-TR; a year or two ago he turned to slashdot.org in search of traffic

16:23 schestowitz-TR; submitting his stgories there, as did SJVN 'fan club' (LF)

16:23 schestowitz-TR; same trajectory as spamnil

16:23 schestowitz-TR; except I cannot accuse Larabel of clickfraud

16:23 schestowitz-TR; which spamnil is not "doping" on

16:23 schestowitz-TR; he must be in a panic

16:23 schestowitz-TR; his guests seeing their viewcount barely exceeds 10 people

16:23 schestowitz-TR; rianne has a thing or two to say about "pretentiousness" of "his" [something racist]

16:24 Techrights-sec2; ack

16:24 Techrights-sec2; the *refresh.sh scripts are updated to do a union of the last two days worth

16:24 Techrights-sec2; of posts OR the last 15 posts, whichever set is larger

16:24 Techrights-sec2; np

16:24 Techrights-sec2; One can hope. Maybe there will be a return to some special posts like the

16:24 Techrights-sec2; reviews or similar

16:25 *britney (~britney@muarsy2vret2q.irc) has joined #boycottnovell

16:26 schestowitz-TR; excellent, thanks!

16:26 schestowitz-TR; I reckon this site got a shot in the arm for another decade

16:26 schestowitz-TR; and adding gemini will be easy, I have enough experience to add it fast later, once there are .gmi files

16:26 schestowitz-TR; then we can add the git repo, reusing the stuff from TR 'UI'

16:26 schestowitz-TR; wordpress and drupal can be rigid in a number of ways

16:26 schestowitz-TR; with this cms it's a blank sheet

16:26 schestowitz-TR; so all sorts of publication forms are possible

16:26 schestowitz-TR; though I'dnot overdo HTML5

16:26 schestowitz-TR; it would defeat the purpose

16:33 schestowitz; how newswaffle sees it: gemini://gemi.dev/cgi-bin/waffle.cgi/view?http%3A//news.tuxmachines.org

↺ gemini://gemi.dev/cgi-bin/waffle.cgi/view?http%3A//news.tuxmachines.org

16:33 Techrights-sec2; ack

16:35 Techrights-sec2; newswaffle seems to work

16:35 schestowitz-TR; the "old" site seems too noisy for it to figure out where the main content is, in either modes

16:36 schestowitz-TR; tuxmachines is a site from the php-nuke generation

16:36 schestowitz-TR; where "smart" phone were not a thing yet and certain stuff like web forums was favoured over

16:36 schestowitz-TR; few centralised BS mills like reddit and FB

16:38 schestowitz-TR; <techrights-news> Phoronix has just gone offline. Even clownflare cannot reach it. Yes, it outsourced to this malCDN.

16:38 Techrights-sec2; none of this has been exained properly on a mobile device yet

16:40 Techrights-sec2; :(

16:41 schestowitz-TR; it's back now

16:41 schestowitz-TR; but it was def. down for a bit

16:41 schestowitz-TR; phoronix has high revenue demands because it feeds 3 people and many full racks that run at max capacity while biden fist-bumps mr. tandoori oil

16:41 Techrights-sec2; :(

19:20 schestowitz-TR; potewntial edge case just detected

19:20 schestowitz-TR; scare quote or single quote in headline makes ' in URL

19:20 schestowitz-TR; in some cases it works OK

19:20 schestowitz-TR; with the rss feed, in quiterss, it stops at '

19:20 schestowitz-TR; so maybe needs same treatment as /

19:20 schestowitz-TR; omission

19:20 schestowitz-TR; psydroid2: which channel/s?

19:21 Techrights-sec2; can you point to a URL ?

19:21 psydroid2; schestowitz-TR, #linux-sunxi

19:21 psydroid2; his last message was a few hours ago

19:21 psydroid2; I wasn't around myself

19:21 schestowitz-TR; yes, front page under "Security:"

19:22 Techrights-sec2; checking

19:24 Techrights-sec2; The feed is getting constructed correctlky AFAIK. The problem may be with

19:24 Techrights-sec2; QuiteRSS. It is possible to add in an escape for that character though.

19:25 schestowitz-TR; if you add the xml url to quite rss, you will see

19:25 schestowitz-TR; I wonder if some browsers too would struggle

19:25 schestowitz-TR; any sort of quote inside a url can lead to ambiguity

19:25 schestowitz-TR; same for spaces unless %20

19:25 Techrights-sec2; It still validates. I can look at an escape for that char.

19:28 Techrights-sec2; I'm really starting to dislike how git fails to work in a shared environemnt

19:28 Techrights-sec2; it only really safely works when there is one, and only one, account per clone

19:28 Techrights-sec2; or checkout

19:35 schestowitz-TR; i am guessing there was some rolllback as I've just noticed that the irc page isn't there at the moment

21:11 Techrights-sec2; If I get more frustrated I will wipe Git and start ove, it seems to be losing

21:11 Techrights-sec2; a *lot* of work the last hours.

21:11 Techrights-sec2; the irc page should still be there

21:11 Techrights-sec2; hmm it's gone

21:11 Techrights-sec2; f*ck git

21:11 Techrights-sec2; I think I have salvaged some of it from memory but now have to find a way to

21:11 Techrights-sec2; get that back /into/ Git yet again

21:11 Techrights-sec2; try QuiteRSS again

21:11 Techrights-sec2; ok I've kind of restored the IRC page

21:11 Techrights-sec2; we'll have to re-look at how to implement the DocumentRoot as a Git clone, later

21:11 Techrights-sec2; For right now, Git is not set up to have multiple accounts editing the same clone

21:11 Techrights-sec2; So as long as the DocumentRoot allows multiple people to work on it, which is

21:11 Techrights-sec2; a good thing, there will be severe trouble shoehorning Git into it;

21:11 Techrights-sec2; More reading / testing is needed offline

21:40 schestowitz-TR; I got your modified version of IRC, edited it some more, merged with the local version I had prior to the loss

21:40 schestowitz-TR; I've not pushed anything yet, I keep the merge (new) file here
