[02:38] schestowitz-TR the person whom you thought was trolling
[02:38] schestowitz-TR and I too suspectecdd of it
[02:38] schestowitz-TR was in fact ender
[02:38] schestowitz-TR who had become she around 5 years go
[02:38] schestowitz-TR ender (brandon) is not a troll

[03:09] schestowitz-TR how about this:
[03:09] schestowitz-TR -migrate 'working directory, stuff that changes more often, to the pi
[03:09] schestowitz-TR then access all things over LAN
[03:09] schestowitz-TR the rest gets offloaded to 3 external drives and basically left to
[03:09] schestowitz-TR be archived on these
[03:09] schestowitz-TR a lot of the files on /home/roy are things which very rarely change
[03:09] schestowitz-TR in the past I already archives some
[03:09] schestowitz-TR 5 years maybe some of them can become articles
[09:04] schestowitz record: around midnight I'll start recording, but I need to think how to now make these repetitive, e.g. bashing gulag news
[09:04] schestowitz maybe the approach of analysing the dataset can be refined
[09:04] schestowitz seeing there's not much "Real News" there anyhow....
[09:04] schestowitz-TR I means staff, not stuff. I don't interact with suepo, I can speak directly to staff
[09:05] schestowitz-TR *meanty
[09:05] schestowitz-TR *meant
[09:30] schestowitz-TR change of plans. I will record as soon as I fionished the poost, just done daily links
[09:30] schestowitz-TR cvey slow news day today in general
[09:30] schestowitz-TR 3pm there;'s important football match
[09:30] schestowitz-TR and I want to organise files etc. while it is transcoding
[09:31] Techrights-sec I wish there were some metrics to show the numbers but the news gets slower every week with occasional major decreases t
[09:31] Techrights-sec hat never recover.
[09:32] schestowitz-TR so you can make up by,e g. adding gemini
[09:32] schestowitz-TR or by casting the net wider
[09:32] schestowitz-TR or adding, changing scope/topics
[09:32] schestowitz-TR there are things we cannot control
[09:32] schestowitz-TR like what OTHERS publish
[09:32] schestowitz-TR OOPS, CAPS
[09:32] schestowitz-TR similarly, gulag noise is shite partly because it's GIGO
[09:32] schestowitz-TR garbage in, garbage out
[09:32] Techrights-sec I spend more time dredging RSS / Atom feeds It is *very* time consuming with
[09:32] Techrights-sec low yield.

[18:33] schestowitz-TR draft
[18:33] schestowitz-TR earlier on I rewrote ota with something else by mistake
[18:33] schestowitz-TR today I do lots of organisation of the file system
[18:33] schestowitz-TR later I will look into the said scripts and see how to improve backups
[18:33] schestowitz-TR this is long overdue
[18:33] Techrights-sec 1;3A
[18:33] Techrights-sec ack
[18:34] schestowitz-TR I will carry on using this machine
[18:34] schestowitz-TR but the important data won't be on it
[18:34] Techrights-sec no data should be on it. best to at least unmount the offending drive if not
[18:34] Techrights-sec actually taking it out physically.
[18:38] schestowitz-TR eventually
[18:56] schestowitz-TR as a side note, rianne and I have just spoken a lot about the kettle
[18:56] schestowitz-TR it broken down after about 12 months
[18:56] schestowitz-TR the one porior to that lasted 6 or 7 years
[18:57] schestowitz-TR you can never buy kicthen appliances anymore to last decades
[18:57] schestowitz-TR for now I use the simple coffee machine instead
[18:57] schestowitz-TR because I have zero confidence in antoiher kettle
[18:57] schestowitz-TR no longer the make
[18:57] schestowitz-TR this one was not a bad brand
[18:58] Techrights-sec
[18:58] Techrights-sec word on the street is that they are engineered to fail around the warranty
[18:58] Techrights-sec expiration. Several sales people I know have commented that personally.
[18:58] Techrights-sec I had one kettle which lasted more than ten years. It was top quality and
[18:58] Techrights-sec excellent form, function, and durability. Eventually it rusted through at
[18:58] Techrights-sec a seam and that was that.
[18:59] schestowitz-TR yes, this one was rusting after justa year
[18:59] schestowitz-TR and was still on and off
[18:59] schestowitz-TR working and not working this past week or 5 days
[18:59] schestowitz-TR so we know the issue wasn't at the coil level
[18:59] schestowitz-TR maybe some other mechanism
[18:59] schestowitz-TR maybe even thermostat
[18:59] schestowitz-TR either way, as a form of protest rianne is just boiling water on the hob now

[19:00] Techrights-sec I figure that one lasted for a more than satisfactory period of time with
[19:00] Techrights-sec rather heavy use.
[19:01] Techrights-sec That works. A bunsen burner works too.
[19:01] Techrights-sec A lid on the pot speeds things up greatly.
[19:04] schestowitz-TR thanks for the tip
[19:04] schestowitz-TR this more or less reaffirm the decision that we implicitly made
[19:04] schestowitz-TR a side perk of the drive issue, which I reckon goes months back because of the recovery
[19:04] schestowitz-TR message I was seeing, is that it forces me to untangle a maze or a web of scattered files
[19:04] schestowitz-TR the "desktop with 300 files" syndrome
[19:04] schestowitz-TR adding up over timea
[19:04] schestowitz-TR and slowing down any attempt to actually find what you are looking for
[19:04] schestowitz-TR rianne has this issue as well
[19:04] schestowitz-TR I found lots of EPO stuff along the way, unpublished material
[19:04] schestowitz-TR that can one day be safely published
[19:04] schestowitz-TR I still have lots about github
[19:04] schestowitz-TR I reckon we got rid of 3 managers already
[19:04] schestowitz-TR that we know of PUBLICLY
[19:04] schestowitz-TR sometimes I can react to some event in the news by pulling something out
[19:04] schestowitz-TR of
[19:04] schestowitz-TR the stash
[19:05] Techrights-sec The old way of making coffee works that way too. Boil water, throw in
[19:05] Techrights-sec the 'right' amount of coarsely ground coffe, and when it sinks it is done.
[19:05] Techrights-sec recoll helps
[19:05] Techrights-sec it can parse a lot of file types
[19:05] Techrights-sec a citation manager would help a lot but the only FOSS one I know of is Zotero
[19:05] Techrights-sec and the standalone version has an unusable UI
[19:06] schestowitz-TR I have been using "db" as aliad for search-db and so far it has worked decently
[19:06] schestowitz-TR lowering my RAM usage by about 1GB
[19:07] schestowitz-TR I let it add up over time when I finally got a machine with over 2GB of RAM
[19:07] schestowitz-TR in total
[19:07] Techrights-sec Yes, the RPi4 has 4GB
[19:07] Techrights-sec Most web browsers use > 2GB with no pages loaded, just a single empty tab
