06:39 Techrights-sec; gm

06:39 Techrights-sec; apache2 on tm-new was not logging

06:39 Techrights-sec; there was a mistake in logrotate, I probably added, that's fixed

06:39 Techrights-sec; there was also some redundant settings in Apache2's configuration regarding SSL

06:39 Techrights-sec; the old file was preventing a successful start/restart so it has been moved

06:39 Techrights-sec; out of the way. the service now restartes fine and seems to be logging ok

06:39 Techrights-sec; much of the activity seems to be the feed

06:39 Techrights-sec; adjusted the httpd logs so that TM's http and https logs go to the same file

06:39 Techrights-sec; tracking user agent string for a while, too

06:39 Techrights-sec; The feed generator for TM might work better with XML::RSS instead,

06:39 Techrights-sec; Shlomi Fish has taken over maintenance, that is good. The module probably

06:39 Techrights-sec; needs little modification at this point but he is active in Perl so the

06:39 Techrights-sec; module will get attention if it needs it.

07:08 schestowitz-TR2; gm

07:08 schestowitz-TR2; catching up

07:08 schestowitz-TR2; draft

07:08 schestowitz-TR2; showing what you asked for

07:08 schestowitz-TR2; changes made to both git repos

07:08 schestowitz-TR2; to adapt to the new atom feed structure

07:08 schestowitz-TR2; good to know maintainers are better now

07:28 Techrights-sec; gm

07:28 Techrights-sec; thanks

07:28 schestowitz-TR2; comments on the draft would help

07:28 schestowitz-TR2; later on I can use that big html (link in the draft) to show further things

07:53 Techrights-sec; ok biab then I'll be able to check

07:53 Techrights-sec; back

07:53 Techrights-sec; the screenshots should be hyperlinks to the propublica page or else the source

07:53 Techrights-sec; mentioned more clearly at the beginning. Also, what is the scale?

07:53 Techrights-sec; I presume dollars and not 1,000s of dollars

07:53 Techrights-sec; It was very useful to pointout the salaries of the coders versus the dead wood.

07:53 Techrights-sec; It might be also useful to point out that the former are mostly at the bottom

07:53 Techrights-sec; of the list.

07:53 Techrights-sec; Aso, is Brescia the only director representing M$? I thought there was at leastone other, not to mention all the partners and license infringers there, too.

07:53 Techrights-sec; Of the fourteen salaried positions listed, only four (29%) are programmers,

07:53 Techrights-sec; according to your annotations. Except for LT himself, they are at the bottom

07:53 Techrights-sec; of the list and even LT is a distant second to JZ.

07:55 schestowitz-TR2; I'm going to sit on these notes and add text, accordingly...

07:55 schestowitz-TR2; handing over at work 9am

07:55 schestowitz-TR2; I hope we can make enough stink for debian to reverse course

07:55 schestowitz-TR2; also see this morning's TM update re debian

07:55 schestowitz-TR2; I won't install debian again

08:16 *DaemonFC has quit (connection closed)

08:21 Techrights-sec; gmniserv did logrotate some hours ago

08:21 Techrights-sec; and then didn't log to the new file, which has another UNIX owner

08:21 Techrights-sec; did you restart that service?

08:21 schestowitz-TR2; gmniserv did logrotate some hours ago

08:21 schestowitz-TR2; and then didn't log to the new file, which has another UNIX owner

08:21 schestowitz-TR2; did you restart that service?

08:23 Techrights-sec; checking

08:27 schestowitz-TR2; I've also just noticed that the feed in gemini:// tm is no longer parsed properly by lagrange and I think it wants atom, not rss

08:27 schestowitz-TR2; at least for gemini

08:27 schestowitz-TR2; the same is true for feed.xml in the gemini capsule of techrights

08:27 schestowitz-TR2; not sure about amfora, but atom is better supported it seems than rss

08:27 schestowitz-TR2; in gemini at least

08:33 Techrights-sec; there was an error in the logrotate configuration regarding restarting the

08:33 Techrights-sec; service, so the old process was still there and still looking for the old log

08:33 Techrights-sec; file which was gone and therefore not writing anything

08:33 Techrights-sec; It should be working now. Thanks for spotting that. I'll check some of the

08:33 Techrights-sec; other configurations, too, now.

08:33 Techrights-sec; :/

08:33 Techrights-sec; I guess the changes can be rolled back.

08:40 schestowitz-TR2; for http RSS is BETTER

08:40 schestowitz-TR2; and I changed tow programs for that

08:40 schestowitz-TR2; I think gemini it more atom-centric

08:40 schestowitz-TR2; for techrights it's not a new "issue"

08:40 schestowitz-TR2; I could never get it to 'work'

08:40 schestowitz-TR2; regarding rotate, sooner or later the log file was going to be 'split' anyway

08:40 schestowitz-TR2; I've accordingly changed the cronjob

08:40 schestowitz-TR2; btw, rianne has exam Weds, so we practice a bit every day, which takes time

08:40 schestowitz-TR2; there will be stuff to be done after that too

08:40 schestowitz-TR2; rss for www, atom for gemini

08:40 schestowitz-TR2; in theory you could make both atom and rss for www, but there's usually no benefit because then you need to maintain

08:40 schestowitz-TR2; two things

08:40 schestowitz-TR2; wordpress supports (or supported) both

08:40 schestowitz-TR2; /atm/

08:40 schestowitz-TR2; /atom/

08:40 schestowitz-TR2; and /feed/ the latter for rss

08:40 schestowitz-TR2; in the past rs2 and rss0.91/1

08:40 schestowitz-TR2; I've not been keeping up with wordpress 6.0.x

08:40 Techrights-sec;

08:40 Techrights-sec; Ok, so it should keep RSS for HTTP and restore Atom for Gemini?

08:40 Techrights-sec; Excellent, good luck on the exams!

08:40 Techrights-sec; ok, that will cause two dependencies instead of one. XML::Feed for the Atom

08:40 Techrights-sec; part and XML::RSS for the RSS feed. By the way, the RSS Validator at the W3C

08:41 Techrights-sec; does not acknowledge the gemini:// protocol in the URLs

08:42 schestowitz-TR2; w3c is just a recommendation

08:42 schestowitz-TR2; the w in w3c is world/wide/web

08:42 schestowitz-TR2; or www

08:42 schestowitz-TR2; so they have a conflict of interest

08:42 schestowitz-TR2; never mind corporate entryism

08:42 schestowitz-TR2; they won't want to enroll other protocols

08:58 Techrights-sec; ack

08:59 schestowitz-TR2; aka "business risk" ;-)

08:59 schestowitz-TR2; btw, techrights can still use rss in gemini

08:59 schestowitz-TR2; maybe over time gemini clients will learn to also adopt rss

08:59 schestowitz-TR2; there's no formal standard regarding that

08:59 schestowitz-TR2; client support is 'the standard' for undefined stuff

08:59 schestowitz-TR2; like atom/rss

08:59 schestowitz-TR2; not specified in gemini specs


9 AM, August 29

09:03 Techrights-sec; That's too bad. For a while, W3C was about building better stuff in more

09:03 Techrights-sec; efficient ways. Though just for a while. TBL killed the last of that off

09:03 Techrights-sec; with his DRM concession.

09:19 schestowitz-TR2; draft

09:19 schestowitz-TR2; weeding out typos now

09:19 schestowitz-TR2; i will add a link for that

09:19 schestowitz-TR2; naming them would opemn up to the "he is just sexist" trolls

09:19 schestowitz-TR2; see latest from prenening

09:20 Techrights-sec; ?

09:20 Techrights-sec; s/yesterdat/yesterday/

09:20 Techrights-sec; The question, "is Brescia the only director ..." is not rhetorical. If there

09:20 Techrights-sec; is an answer, the answer should be included instead. If there is not an

09:20 Techrights-sec; answer handy, it should be removed. Thanks

09:20 Techrights-sec; And if there are other microsofters, they should be named so that they are

09:20 Techrights-sec; easier to identify.

09:21 Techrights-sec; The LF page for the BoD is poisoned by gratuitous javascript

09:21 Techrights-sec; The page lists "At Large" directors, to hide their affiliations with

09:21 Techrights-sec; hostile opponent companies.

09:21 Techrights-sec; The paragraph "Only about ..." should be joined with the previous sentence.

09:21 Techrights-sec; Standard typopgrapy from paper does not apply much, but having two tiny yet

09:21 Techrights-sec; semantically related paragraphs separated by a wide graphic ought to be merged

09:22 schestowitz-TR2; sorry, got distracted by work handover and the microsoft troll came back to irc

09:22 schestowitz-TR2; several unwanted people there atm

09:22 schestowitz-TR2; I'm going to get back to our HTML copy at a later stage

09:22 schestowitz-TR2; when I'm under less time pressure

09:22 schestowitz-TR2; btw, mobile.php and frontpage.php are on the old site

09:22 schestowitz-TR2; not much there yet, I got almost no work done on them

09:22 Techrights-sec; np

09:22 Techrights-sec; ack

09:22 schestowitz-TR2; made them work with atom, not back to rss

09:28 schestowitz-TR2; I assume you do or did some work on TR gemini capsule

09:28 schestowitz-TR2; as the front page is empty atm

09:30 schestowitz-TR2; ok, it's back

09:30 schestowitz-TR2; theory: under heavy load it was still in the middle of generating it

09:30 schestowitz-TR2; but backups finished an hour ago

09:30 schestowitz-TR2; anyway, all is fine (not false alarm, it did temporarily serve blank page)

09:30 Techrights-sec; not that I recall

09:30 Techrights-sec; checking

09:30 Techrights-sec; not lately

09:30 Techrights-sec; yes, it is subject to race conditions like that

09:30 Techrights-sec; IIRC that one still generates the file live rather than using a temporary

09:30 Techrights-sec; file and swaping it out quickly to minimize the chance of hitting an

09:30 Techrights-sec; empty or incomplete file

10:50 schestowitz-TR2; (yes, I know appeasing them might not help)

10:50 schestowitz-TR2; they can try to spin it as "harassment" when people call out a fraud

10:50 schestowitz-TR2; that's the coc-mindset anyway

10:50 schestowitz-TR2; if you did not see prening's blog, have a look, it's short

11:00 Techrights-sec; Something does not like the host 'gemini.tuxmachines.org'

11:00 Techrights-sec; The host 'news.tuxmachines.org' works though. DNS for both point to the

11:00 Techrights-sec; same IPv4 address. So it must be something with the server.

11:00 Techrights-sec; Checking

11:01 schestowitz-TR2; oh, you fixed the feed in the sense that it is atom again

11:01 schestowitz-TR2; all the links are dead links, not limited to the feed

11:01 schestowitz-TR2; "Not found"

11:01 schestowitz-TR2; both have cenrificates for the domain

11:01 schestowitz-TR2; which the server software accepts

11:01 schestowitz-TR2; maybe after restarting it something changed

11:01 schestowitz-TR2; both domains worked before

11:18 Techrights-sec; I think it was a matter of the URLs

11:18 Techrights-sec; paths where an unnecessary slash led the path and only some things choke on

11:18 Techrights-sec; it; Added a check to remove them.

11:19 schestowitz-TR2; excellent, I've juist checked using both siusites, both pages and atom feesa

11:19 schestowitz-TR2; all works pefectly

11:19 schestowitz-TR2; I later do a check for all_changes (git) to ensure it updates on its own

11:19 schestowitz-TR2; and another check too

17:15 schestowitz-TR2; a friend of mine goes to my site for covid-19 updates (he'll also give rianne's reference letter)

17:15 schestowitz-TR2; the media here and people act as if 2020 was a "false positive", false alarm"

17:15 schestowitz-TR2; their proprietary back-doored voting machines

17:15 Techrights-sec; and the strawman arguments to discredit criticism or even investigation

17:16 schestowitz-TR2; tbh, i think these are very very old tactics

17:16 schestowitz-TR2; and newer examples of these

17:16 schestowitz-TR2; they teach that in certain schools

17:16 Techrights-sec; probably

17:19 schestowitz-TR2; example (recent): microsoft to lay off 18k staff

17:19 schestowitz-TR2; microsoft moles (many I saw): microsoft to lay off 1% of staff

18:01 -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-baronhk.wordpress.com | Your bank and other Web sites are running creepy JavaScript that records your every action. NoScript can block that from running. Bonus: Web Rot | BaronHK's Rants

18:09 Techrights-sec; ack

18:09 Techrights-sec; javascript is even worse than that ...

18:10 schestowitz-TR2; that's why timbl wants to replace the www with js... hosted in proprietary sofwtare of Microsoft

18:10 schestowitz-TR2; I wonder if he wants EME on top of that, too

18:10 schestowitz-TR2; DaemonFC: ^

18:29 Techrights-sec; using the browser as a VM for mysteryscripts run by random sites

18:29 Techrights-sec; How much electricity could be saved worldwide with even a 50% reduction

18:29 Techrights-sec; in the amount of javascript?

18:32 Techrights-sec; every bit counts, but yeah travel, especially air travel for business, is the

18:32 Techrights-sec; highest waster. see the articles about Google suppressing that information

18:32 Techrights-sec; in their services/

18:33 schestowitz-TR2; in the grand scheme of things I believe that travel causes far more consumption and pollution

18:33 schestowitz-TR2; a while different scale

18:33 schestowitz-TR2; manufacturing of gadgets is also a big problem, but cars are a lot bigger

18:33 schestowitz-TR2; eggs and milk have become so expensive here that we rarely find them discounted enough

18:33 schestowitz-TR2; and I started turning off monitors when I do not use them

18:33 schestowitz-TR2; to keep power bills at around or below 100 a month

18:33 schestowitz-TR2; yes, but billBC could at least do one article about how billy yhe G is causing a ton of emissions while bribing billbc et al to paint him as the priest

18:33 schestowitz-TR2; of green 'stuff'

18:34 Techrights-sec; Yes, the BBC owes the world articles on a multitude of topics regarding Bill

18:34 Techrights-sec; and his behavior. The environmental aspects of the private jets is just one

18:34 Techrights-sec; of them.

18:35 schestowitz-TR2; billBC will just die

18:35 schestowitz-TR2; and as it shrinks so will the bribes

18:35 schestowitz-TR2; see what happens to fossforce amid sellouts

18:49 schestowitz-TR2; gonna do leftovers

18:49 schestowitz-TR2; today rianne and marius had a lock battle ;-)

18:49 schestowitz-TR2; then will rest a bit

18:49 schestowitz-TR2; need to practice with rianne for weds exam

18:49 Techrights-sec;

18:49 Techrights-sec; locking is one of the weak points of sqlite

18:49 Techrights-sec; however there is a world of complexity separating it and the next step up,

18:49 Techrights-sec; which would probably be postgresql

18:49 Techrights-sec; yottadb would work well, too, but there are not ready packages for it for

18:49 Techrights-sec; Alpine as far as I know

18:50 schestowitz-TR2; the locks are something one gets used to

18:50 schestowitz-TR2; usually puts you on pause in the queue and then resumes

18:50 schestowitz-TR2; I hope we have habitual backups of the db ;-)

20:57 Techrights-sec; it wouldn't make sense to have the db in Git but the above copies the working db

20:57 Techrights-sec; to a local mirror

20:57 Techrights-sec; and much of the rest of the local mirror is in Git

20:57 Techrights-sec; With sqlite3, the site could probably run on a RPi Zero W or at least a 3A+

20:57 Techrights-sec; or 3B+
