[07:06] schestowitz > Sorry, false alarm, it was the diaspora pod I use that had stopped
[07:06] schestowitz > federating for some reason.
[07:06] schestowitz Ah, OK. I hope it all works now.
[07:12] tr-bridge [schestowitz/tr] OK, I THINK it all works now. I THINK. But it is worth double checking everything as I did manual runs. IRC netplits and disruption caused the job to freeze, at least I had a go at practising a manual run of the whole chain of scripts.

First, Im on a budget and would prefer not to buy a new computer just for the Masters program.
[10:00] tr-bridge [schestowitz/tr]
Second, I want to see how far Linux on Chromebooks can take me down this path. I realize that most Chromebook owners arent walking this path with me. (Although if you are pursuing a Masters in Computer Science, let me know!) But this could show many people that the ability to run Linux apps on a Chromebook is more useful and powerful than they might think.

[10:16] tr-bridge [Techrights-sec/tr] In the May 31st conversation in Brazil with RMS, he kind of wanders rather
[10:16] tr-bridge [Techrights-sec/tr] far out during the Q&A. Perhaps it is not so appropriate to get
[10:16] tr-bridge [Techrights-sec/tr] a transcript?
[10:16] tr-bridge [Techrights-sec/tr] And instead just leave it as audio/video?
[10:16] schestowitz I know exactly what you mean. There are things more worthy of turning into text. yesterday IRC was hectic and truly exhausting on many levels... I barely found time to do articles

[13:32] tr-bridge [schestowitz/tr] headsup on IRC change, 1:30pm http://techrights.org/irc
[13:33] tr-bridge [schestowitz/tr] 12:25 in those logs (not BST)
[13:33] tr-bridge [Techrights-sec/tr] ack
[13:33] tr-bridge [Techrights-sec/tr] reading
[13:35] tr-bridge [Techrights-sec/tr] ok IP address change should be schedule so that the DNS TTL is shortened
[13:35] tr-bridge [schestowitz/tr] I don't know how exactly to do this, I just think lower it, change, then afterwards take that back up, maybe hours later?
[13:41] tr-bridge [Techrights-sec/tr] I presume TR, TM, and HV will all move to new IPv4 addresses at the same
[13:41] tr-bridge [Techrights-sec/tr] time?

[14:28] schestowitz Suffice to say (in 2021 it should be obvious), you cannot judge a distro's popularity or userbase just based on number of downloads. Nowadays some companies download it once, then deploy it to thousands of machines or millions of devices, then sell those devices.

[16:06] schestowitz I did not get disconnected and the last line I saw was "I presume TR, TM, and HV will all move to new IPv4 addresses at the same"
[16:07] tr-bridge [Techrights-sec/tr] that was the main part. though irc.techrights.org has an IPv4 address too
[16:07] tr-bridge [Techrights-sec/tr] If there is a changeover date, it'll be easy to wind the TTL down
[16:08] tr-bridge [Techrights-sec/tr] once the move is made to put it back to normal
[16:08] schestowitz yes, I have forwarded that already to kaniini in the main channel. My question was, did I miss something in ytalk after that line (impending followup)? I just saw a clear ytalk session after that
[16:10] tr-bridge [Techrights-sec/tr] "last" on this machine shows you got disconnecte at 14:16 UTC
[16:10] schestowitz This connection/link was always glitchy for reasons unknown to me, it would re-establish the SSH link maybe 10 times per day
[16:10] tr-bridge [Techrights-sec/tr] there was a bit of my own chatter about OT stuff
[16:10] schestowitz I saw all the stuff about flowers
[16:11] tr-bridge [Techrights-sec/tr] strange
[16:12] schestowitz I would have brought it up earlier (months ago), but I assume you could notice this too, it's like there's a disconnection after idling or something and it would not reconnect until timeout maybe 30 mins later
[16:14] tr-bridge [Techrights-sec/tr] I noticed it but scripted around it. Do you have ServerAliveCountMax
[16:14] tr-bridge [Techrights-sec/tr] and ServerAliveInterval set in ~/.ssh/config for your client?
[16:14] schestowitz probably not, I also noticed that idle connection to TR/TM from this box would time out after a while unless I run something in it
[16:15] tr-bridge [Techrights-sec/tr] The server does not do heartbeat to check the clients. I suppose I could turn that on.
[16:15] tr-bridge [Techrights-sec/tr] Probably a good idea then to use ServerAliveCountMax and ServerAliveInterval
[16:15] tr-bridge [Techrights-sec/tr] for those connections.
[16:18] schestowitz Host *
[16:18] schestowitz ServerAliveInterval 300
[16:18] schestowitz ServerAliveCountMax 2
[16:19] tr-bridge [Techrights-sec/tr] there may be lightning here tomorrow. If so, I may have to power down for a
[16:19] tr-bridge [Techrights-sec/tr] while, but the forecasts are so unreliable that who actually knows.
[16:19] tr-bridge [Techrights-sec/tr] When I used to be outside all the time, I could predict the weather a
[16:19] tr-bridge [Techrights-sec/tr] week in advance far more accurately that the current service here does it/
[16:19] tr-bridge [Techrights-sec/tr] Probably better with ServerAliveInterval 30 or so and ServerAliveCountMax 3 to 5
[16:19] tr-bridge [Techrights-sec/tr] see ssh_config(5)
[16:21] tr-bridge [Techrights-sec/tr] The former controls how often the heartbeat is sent, the latter
[16:21] tr-bridge [Techrights-sec/tr] controls how many times in a row it can go missing before the session
[16:21] tr-bridge [Techrights-sec/tr] disconnects. It will keep the session from disconnecting from idling
[16:21] tr-bridge [Techrights-sec/tr] and thus timing out. It will also disconnect the session much faster
[16:21] tr-bridge [Techrights-sec/tr] when the connection really is broken. T1;2A1;2A1;2AAAAAhen tmux is needed.
[16:21] schestowitz thanks, we will know if this sticks
[16:24] tr-bridge [Techrights-sec/tr] If you put it in at the end of ~/.ssh/config for that client, use the wild
[16:24] tr-bridge [Techrights-sec/tr] card:
[16:24] tr-bridge [Techrights-sec/tr] Host *
[16:24] tr-bridge [Techrights-sec/tr] ServerAliveCountMax 3
[16:24] tr-bridge [Techrights-sec/tr] ServerAliveInterval 60
[16:24] tr-bridge [Techrights-sec/tr] If you assign those to more specific patterns or individual hosts even then
[16:24] tr-bridge [Techrights-sec/tr] put them higher up. The config file is first-match so specifics ought to
[16:24] tr-bridge [Techrights-sec/tr] go first and generalities last and everything else on the scale in the middle.
[16:25] schestowitz Thanks! Done.
