[01:35] schestowitz-TR I was asked why I don't use a mobile phone
[01:35] schestowitz-TR the ISP is trying to sell those too
[01:35] schestowitz-TR or connection plans with a bundle
[01:35] schestowitz-TR this time, for a change, the guy was good on the other side of the line
[01:35] schestowitz-TR because I phoned their "business" line
[01:35] schestowitz-TR with faster connection self-hosting things will get simpler
[01:35] techrightssec2 ack
[01:35] schestowitz-TR not just ipfs
[01:35] schestowitz-TR we have a spare pi400
[01:35] schestowitz-TR i'm working to rel;ease daily links before 2:40am ish cutoff
[01:41] techrightssec2 It took some hours to crawl TM Gallery, just the first gallery. But it looks
[01:41] techrightssec2 like everything has been captured. Will get around to converting the links
[01:41] techrightssec2 to working links soonish.
[01:41] schestowitz-TR the other night I was searching something and TM came up
[01:41] schestowitz-TR where I did not expect
[01:41] schestowitz-TR the URL structure can be odd
[01:41] schestowitz-TR but it captures many old articles that exist nowhere else
[01:41] schestowitz-TR IIRC, it was an IBM article from zdnet, over 15 years old
[01:41] schestowitz-TR about zend and php
[01:42] techrightssec2 Yes, sadly many that it links to have long since vanished. I wonder if some
[01:42] techrightssec2 sort of collaboration with IA would be appropriate or desireable going forward?
[01:42] techrightssec2 Many sites that still retain their older articles have not kept the URL stable.
[01:43] schestowitz-TR you've 'read my mind'..
[01:43] schestowitz-TR I was thinking
[01:43] schestowitz-TR IA often has copies
[01:43] schestowitz-TR but IA makes discovery hard
[01:43] schestowitz-TR TM makes an indexed copy
[01:43] schestowitz-TR and that can then be ued to feed original URLs to WabackMachine
[01:43] schestowitz-TR *Way

[02:01] schestowitz-TR i thought about doing a video about LF handing MSFT, FB, Bezos control over openstreetmap
[02:01] schestowitz-TR but not sure there is a lot to be said
[02:01] schestowitz-TR the BS writes itself
[02:01] schestowitz-TR and many headliens say "Linux"
[02:01] schestowitz-TR instead of "Linux Foundation"
[02:06] techrightssec2 That might be a good topic anyway.
[02:06] techrightssec2 if only to correct those headlines.
[02:06] schestowitz-TR ok, will record in an hour :-)
[02:07] schestowitz-TR ok, will record in an hour :-)
[02:18] techrightssec2 ack
[02:18] techrightssec2 The LF, despite the name, does not represent or advance Linux but instead
[02:18] techrightssec2 represents corporate interests inside Linux. It has had a hostile, antagonistic
[02:18] techrightssec2 relation with the community since disposing of community representation back in
[02:18] techrightssec2 2016:
[02:18] techrightssec2 https://www.information-age.com/linux-foundation-causes-uproar-quietly-removing-community-representation-its-board-652/

[02:18] techrightssec2 and then gave a voice to Linux's most aggressive competitor *on the board of
[02:18] techrightssec2 directors*

[07:45] schestowitz-TR eureka
[07:45] schestowitz-TR same thing happened today to quiterss as happened weeks ago
[07:45] schestowitz-TR back then I figured it was something to do with a massive folder of 100k+ items
[07:45] schestowitz-TR but now I was able to compare ini files
[07:45] schestowitz-TR and manually change one
[07:45] schestowitz-TR the problem happens when closing it in a megafolder
[07:45] schestowitz-TR and it would not behave well when comiing back to it
[07:45] schestowitz-TR the param id is "currentID"
[07:45] schestowitz-TR so I can fix it by tinkering with the ini file

[16:19] schestowitz-TR well, at least people are seeing it and calling them out
