04:39 schestowitz[TR]; Can it maybe be recovered from an old backup? I too checked git, but only files related to it were there.

07:56 techrigthssec; nice

07:56 techrigthssec; I presume a local shop had a suitable SSD. It normmally take a week or two at

8 AM, January 28

08:36 techrigthssec; trying

08:36 techrigthssec; IRC logs have duplicate lines

08:36 schestowitz-TR; yes, i have corrected for the next day

08:36 schestowitz-TR; did a lorof testing too

08:51 techrigthssec; It turns out that the lines really are duplicares, so it may be that piping

08:51 techrigthssec; the files through uniq will solve that.

08:54 schestowitz-TR; yeah, this is solved going forward

08:54 schestowitz-TR; ijust searched for any copies ofsuppmmentary shell script on bubi

08:54 schestowitz-TR; maybe we can make thesame but more comprehesive?

08:54 schestowitz-TR; i am not too sad about it because the main good feed there rhat i did not

08:54 schestowitz-TR; also read in quiterss was gamingonlinux

08:54 schestowitz-TR; it would be nice to figure out how to free up time

08:54 schestowitz-TR; to do more articles

08:54 schestowitz-TR; i already sleep little ^_^

08:54 schestowitz-TR; took a ton of rss obboard

08:54 schestowitz-TR; this is good if well managed

09:01 schestowitz-TR; this is good if well managed

09:01 schestowitz-TR; just had kitchen chat about this, 5-20 min

09:01 schestowitz-TR; doing more coding to take itfurther would be nice

09:01 schestowitz-TR; the progreams are all force multipliers

09:01 schestowitz-TR; and other sites cannot keep up

09:39 schestowitz-TR; looking at least rss_since

09:40 schestowitz-TR; i wonder if the missing file was merely a wrapper

09:40 schestowitz-TR; maybe almost identical to another

09:40 schestowitz-TR; but taking another list of URLs

09:40 schestowitz-TR; from a file

09:40 schestowitz-TR; that might explain why git does not have it?

09:58 techrigthssec; The XML in OPML is very simple, not much more complex than DL in HTML


10 AM, January 28

10:01 schestowitz-TR; ryan just wrote about cnet getting caught spewing out hey hi garbage as articles

10:01 schestowitz-TR; i think the www will leave people fatigued and cynical

10:01 schestowitz-TR; either way, i am happy to have this new drive

10:01 schestowitz-TR; maybe this lapto can last 5 years now

10:01 schestowitz-TR; newer distro too

10:01 schestowitz-TR; i still need to adjust it

10:01 schestowitz-TR; took my sister a week to adapt after debian 0 to 11 shock

10:01 schestowitz-TR; i cannot find any way to install synergy so fat

10:01 schestowitz-TR; (far

10:01 schestowitz-TR; the company wants money

10:01 schestowitz-TR; but i have contingencies

10:02 techrigthssec; I would have thought that Devuan would be a good choice.

10:02 techrigthssec; Barrier is the FOSS equivalent to Synergy iirc

10:02 schestowitz-TR; i used both in tabdem

10:02 schestowitz-TR; it was hard to configure this week

10:02 schestowitz-TR; and i forgot how i did it

10:09 techrigthssec; I generally keep hard-to-figure-out configuration examples in notes for later

10:12 schestowitz-TR; i think i'd like to think laterally for a bit how to better assess ad survey news over rss

10:12 schestowitz-TR; i have been doing the same thing for 20 years

10:12 schestowitz-TR; there must be a better way then rssown, thunderbird, and quiterss

10:12 schestowitz-TR; for instance, clustering of related theme

10:12 schestowitz-TR; more efficiency means broader coverage, faster

10:12 schestowitz-TR; each time i rebuild it gives a change to start afresh with another approach/focus

10:12 schestowitz-TR; i've not yet restored quiterss, only installed it

10:15 techrigthssec; I generally keep hard-to-figure-out configuration examples in notes for later

10:15 techrigthssec; One way would be to read the OPML file into a database and then use the

10:15 techrigthssec; database to fetch the feeds which are ready for fetching and create an HTML

10:15 techrigthssec; file of the results to browse. The advantage is that the real browsers are

10:15 techrigthssec; much better suited for browsing than QuiteRSS and its competitors are. The

10:15 techrigthssec; biggest down side is that no browsers allow markign a link as "unread".

10:15 techrigthssec; Doing it in Perl would be relatively easy and quite good qualitu but for

10:15 techrigthssec; political purposes Python3 would be a more strategic option since certain

10:15 techrigthssec; communities are investing in Python training.

10:15 schestowitz-TR; in 2005 ish [h]omerfrom cols/usenet, who slaso started our irc channel in freenode, developed

10:15 schestowitz-TR; a parser in python for rss feeds, for usenet

10:15 schestowitz-TR; but it didn't go far, it did not do anything too witty

10:16 techrigthssec; The OPML input is easy, and there seem to be good XML parsers for Python3

10:16 techrigthssec; but the examples provided in the documentation are simmplistic to the point\

10:16 techrigthssec; of being almost irrelevant

10:21 schestowitz-TR; good

10:21 schestowitz-TR; to put it one way, next 5 days might be slow/catching up

10:21 schestowitz-TR; but i expect the next 5 years to be good and productive

10:21 schestowitz-TR; with so many hours freed up and proper sleep

10:21 schestowitz-TR; i want to work on processing of information

10:21 schestowitz-TR; this can also be done for geminispace

10:21 schestowitz-TR; at a much smaller scale

10:21 schestowitz-TR; the core issue many have is,

10:21 schestowitz-TR; too much 'information'

10:21 schestowitz-TR; with so littke signal

10:21 schestowitz-TR; sites that parrot PR

10:21 schestowitz-TR; sometimes varghese does this too (again)

10:21 schestowitz-TR; i am going to move all video making to obs studio and alter preview.sh to do the metadata right

10:22 schestowitz-TR; i have worked to make the pipeline less dependent on one physical machine

10:23 schestowitz-TR; 8 machines here are always turned on with undertilised CPUs/capacity

10:23 schestowitz-TR; we get fibre this coming week, this time they do is PROPERLT

10:23 schestowitz-TR; not experimental like summer 2021

10:24 techrigthssec; How fast fibre will it be? If there is a price difference for faster there

10:24 techrigthssec; is not much point in going over 100Mb/s because nearly every web server

10:24 techrigthssec; is sluggish and the pages they serve clogged with remote objects and scripts

10:24 techrigthssec; to ensure that the page does not render faster than 15 seconds any way

10:24 schestowitz-TR; exactly

10:24 schestowitz-TR; i told them that

10:43 schestowitz-TR; that is the equivalent of my unis and clients that get 128 core machines

10:43 schestowitz-TR; that are like... idle 80% of the time

10:43 schestowitz-TR; so the capacity only helps bursts

12:35 techrigthssec; try now

12:35 techrigthssec; just folded blogs into the document root but it may have disturbed some of the

12:35 schestowitz-TR; thanks, it is ok now

12:38 techrigthssec; links like for login or registration have been deactivated.

12:39 schestowitz-TR; thanks, some of the links ther work, some do not

12:39 techrigthssec; Which do not?

12:40 schestowitz-TR; individual pages of the posts for example

12:43 techrigthssec; Can you give some examples, the ones I tested work so it appears that parts

12:43 techrigthssec; may be missing but which ones?

12:43 schestowitz-TR; oddly enough the same pages seem to work now^_^

12:47 techrigthssec; That was the IDS apparently. It is not yet tuned to the new pages :(

12:47 techrigthssec; I'll leave it off for now, but will have to add more conditionals to it.

13:05 techrigthssec; It'll need to be tuned properly since it will turn on in its current

13:05 techrigthssec; incarnation (or whatever is saved) at next reboot

13:24 techrigthssec; The Apache2 logs have not been rotating, there seem to have been double

13:24 techrigthssec; configurations there for logrotate.d

13:24 techrigthssec; Checking

13:24 techrigthssec; There is an error in ssl.conf for apache2

13:24 techrigthssec; The file itself was in the way because the main configuration file covers TLS

13:24 techrigthssec; nowadays.

13:24 techrigthssec; It was from 17 jan. I wonder if apk packaging does that with the updates?

13:24 techrigthssec; I sure hope not.

13:24 schestowitz-TR; rotstion of the access logs almost never worked

13:24 schestowitz-TR; since august

13:31 techrigthssec; Ok. Log rotation /should/ work now. I just checked via the daily shell script

13:31 techrigthssec; The defective SSL file has been moved out of the way, but there is a small

13:31 techrigthssec; question about the Certificate since it generates a warning.

13:31 techrigthssec; """

13:31 techrigthssec; server certificate is a CA certificate (BasicConstraints: CA == TRUE

13:31 techrigthssec; """

13:31 techrigthssec; I wonder if the system updates themselves break the custom rotation rules?

13:55 techrigthssec; Hmm. The blogs should have gone under /old

13:55 techrigthssec; I wonder if it is feasible to try to move them.

13:55 techrigthssec; Probably not since it would require doing modifications to many, many href

13:55 techrigthssec; attributes.

13:56 schestowitz-TR; i forgot what comment to run to checkout TM git at my end

14:00 schestowitz-TR; need to first configure where to connect

14:00 schestowitz-TR; the keys work for ssh

14:00 techrigthssec; Yes that configuration data goes in ~/.ssh/config

14:00 techrigthssec; so then you can do:

14:00 techrigthssec; git clone tm-git:tuxmachines.org

14:00 techrigthssec; or some other shortcut

14:17 techrigthssec; The key that you log in with to tm-new can be used.

14:44 techrigthssec; Where you able to clone the tm repository?

14:45 schestowitz-TR; unfortunately no

14:54 techrigthssec; Can you SSH to tm-new as 'roy' ?

14:54 techrigthssec; It looks like you can. The same key and such should give you access to Git

14:54 techrigthssec; Ah. Found a bug.

14:54 techrigthssec; Checking...

14:59 techrigthssec; You'll need a proper entry in ~/.ssh/config for news.tuxmachines.org

14:59 techrigthssec; It must include both IdentityFile and IdentityOnly and it would be a good idea

14:59 techrigthssec; if it also includes User too

14:59 techrigthssec; then

14:59 techrigthssec; git clone tm:/home/git/tuxmachines.org
