02:16 schestowitz-TR2; 2am restart

02:16 schestowitz-TR2; I think I observed all cpu core gooing max just 2 mins prior to it

02:17 schestowitz-TR2; so that might explain that?

8 AM, January 28

08:03 Techrights-sec; I think so, the other day I saw lots of heavy processes and one at around 99%,

08:03 Techrights-sec; so I killed the 99% one and the others went away too.

08:27 schestowitz-TR2; i went to sleep around 4:30, woke up a few times and dealt with apache, better to

08:27 schestowitz-TR2; automate the restart as you suggested in the command line with curl

08:27 Techrights-sec; yes for those hours it would be ok I think, as a kludge


9 AM, January 28

09:58 schestowitz-TR2; ota in a bit

09:58 schestowitz-TR2; thanks foir the patience and effort on apache

09:58 schestowitz-TR2; i think it shuts down due to load


10 AM, January 28

10:22 schestowitz-TR2; done, it's about TAXZ joining geminispace

10:23 schestowitz-TR2; TAZ

10:23 Techrights-sec; TAZ?

10:27 Techrights-sec; Great!

10:27 Techrights-sec; It works.

10:27 Techrights-sec; Even the (simple) search form works.

11:25 Techrights-sec; probably a link to a summar of the OOXML scandals would help, if OOXML is to

11:25 Techrights-sec; be mentioned at all.

11:25 schestowitz-TR2; added ooxml url

11:30 Techrights-sec; thanks

11:33 schestowitz-TR2; topic suggestions needed

11:33 schestowitz-TR2; I'm running low ;-)

11:41 Techrights-sec; The necessity of open formats is always relevant, IMO. Same for open protocols.

11:41 Techrights-sec; Notice that none of the web-based tools like Zoom and the others can

11:42 Techrights-sec; interact with each other, due to proprietary protocols.

11:42 Techrights-sec; With the "cloud"-based storage, the multinationals appear to aim to eliminate

11:42 Techrights-sec; even the question of file formats as they will hold control over all

11:42 Techrights-sec; aspects of access.

11:45 Techrights-sec; missed the huffpost link, can you re-paste it?##############

11:45 Techrights-sec; thanks

11:45 schestowitz-TR2; you started typing something, but little enough that you can still recall what it was about

11:46 schestowitz-TR2; my PC is becoming painfully slow at times when I encode/transcode videos, depending on the video and I'm not sure why. I think total resolution plays a big role. at 1080p the machine is rendered almost dead, I have to kill ffmpeg

11:47 Techrights-sec; iirc it was about control of access to data, skipping the fight over file

11:47 Techrights-sec; formats. Anything in the "cloud" is behind a proprietary gatekeeper.

11:49 Techrights-sec; Would nicing the process from the beginning help? ionice or nice

11:50 schestowitz-TR2; maybe one day I will pass the pipeline to another, slower machine that is less ac

12:20 schestowitz; let me know if you can think of insurmountable issues.

7 PM, January 28

19:28 schestowitz-TR2; good

19:28 schestowitz-TR2; evening

19:28 schestowitz-TR2; I took a nap

19:28 schestowitz-TR2; when I woke up the video was stil processing

19:29 schestowitz-TR2; then the machine was slow

19:29 schestowitz-TR2; syslog still has those PCI errors

19:29 schestowitz-TR2; I decidedf to sniff around a bit

19:29 schestowitz-TR2; xorg was acting a little weiurd

19:29 schestowitz-TR2; after givig a kick or two to plasma and other bits

19:29 schestowitz-TR2; I think I now know why processing was so slow

19:29 schestowitz-TR2; or rather, how to get around it when that happens again

19:30 schestowitz-TR2; earlie today IU was moaning about trnacoding taking ages

19:30 schestowitz-TR2; but my cpu cores were just busy processing tons of cruft

19:30 schestowitz-TR2; I thought the errors from the kernel/hardware might be to blame

19:30 schestowitz-TR2; but having overcome this and found xord was taking up lots of resources

19:30 schestowitz-TR2; I think a bug in the dsplay layer was likely the culprit

19:31 Techrights-sec; xorg on Devuan also takes up a lot of CPU, low double digits at the moment

19:32 schestowitz-TR2; it was a lot worse here since the morning and this evening it was painful to even

19:32 schestowitz-TR2; just open some web pages

19:32 schestowitz-TR2; this is noit normal but I think it's OK now

19:32 schestowitz-TR2; so it took me like x5 times the usual time to process the videos

19:32 Techrights-sec; ack


8 PM, January 28
