|---|---|---|
| schestowitz-TR | a week ago a new financial disclosure was quietly released (as I was expecting (end of July each year) | Aug 02 03:46 |
| schestowitz-TR | I've included this latest one, plus the one from the year prior | Aug 02 03:46 |
| schestowitz-TR | the 4 PNG files show (top) last year's and this year's, comparing analogous pages | Aug 02 03:46 |

| schestowitz-TR | I've configured git messaging, I'll not get system bell when git-tm has "pushed" changes (I'll NOW) | Aug 02 04:21 |
| schestowitz-TR | since the qemu fix no bad backups, nothing in dmesg. see TR posts re uefi and linuxtoday. | Aug 02 04:50 |

| Techrights-sec2 | otr: I'm not an accountant, I don't know how to read those numbers but they | Aug 02 08:18 |
| Techrights-sec2 | otr: seem like they are running out of money based on one of the lines | Aug 02 08:18 |
| Techrights-sec | What method did you use for Git messaging? I think we are the first on the net | Aug 02 08:19 |
| Techrights-sec | to have used standard "IoT" messaging. At least no one else has written about | Aug 02 08:19 |
| Techrights-sec | using MQTT+TLS with Git. | Aug 02 08:19 |
| Techrights-sec | Which one is about UEFI? | Aug 02 08:20 |
| *Techrights-sec2 is now known as ts2 | Aug 02 08:20 | |
| schestowitz-TR | re otr, yes, I made a mistake after rebooting, window in wrong channels | Aug 02 08:24 |

| Techrights-sec | I saw that one but it did not mention UEFI by name. Important tidbit to have | Aug 02 08:26 |
| Techrights-sec | documented there. It also means that he is in some kind of contact with M$ or | Aug 02 08:26 |
| Techrights-sec | at least viceversa and that his work is attractive to M$ goals | Aug 02 08:26 |
| Techrights-sec | ^s/his work/controlling his work/ | Aug 02 08:26 |
| schestowitz-TR | it is a URL | Aug 02 08:29 |
| schestowitz-TR | re accounting, yes, I agree, but did not want to give that away upfront | Aug 02 08:29 |
| schestowitz-TR | and it does not surprise me, hence our decision even prior to the meetings | Aug 02 08:29 |
| schestowitz-TR | the calibre of client changed, as did the nature of the work | Aug 02 08:29 |
| Techrights-sec | Can I talk you into looking at roy-monitor-git-with-mqtt.tar.gz ? | Aug 02 08:35 |

| Techrights-sec | adding additional --topic options is possible so as to monitor multiple | Aug 02 08:35 |

| Techrights-sec | each service can publish to its own topic, right now we just have two | Aug 02 08:35 |
| Techrights-sec | I though TLSv1.3 was in use there? | Aug 02 08:35 |

| schestowitz-TR | I did about 5 pushes overnight to test with | Aug 02 08:35 |

| Techrights-sec | I've had to expand my desktop to 6 panels now, there are so many subprojects | Aug 02 08:37 |
| Techrights-sec | going on | Aug 02 08:37 |
| Techrights-sec | something is wrong with the current usage, your session keeps trying to do | Aug 02 08:37 |
| Techrights-sec | redundant connections. checking ... | Aug 02 08:37 |
| schestowitz-TR | it is not wrong, at the moment it does both the old and the new approach, but I will alter the frequency of the latter | Aug 02 08:38 |
| schestowitz-TR | it's on a visible screen, the other is for system bell etc. | Aug 02 08:38 |
| Techrights-sec | but is mosquitto_sub being run once or in a loop? It should be run once and | Aug 02 08:38 |
| Techrights-sec | left to wait. | Aug 02 08:38 |
| schestowitz-TR | it runs only once, outside the loop | Aug 02 08:39 |
| Techrights-sec | somehow it appears to be in a loop and while one is running another tries | Aug 02 08:40 |
| Techrights-sec | (unsuccessfully) to usurp the connection. | Aug 02 08:40 |
| schestowitz-TR | see daily-linux.sh in git | Aug 02 08:40 |
| Techrights-sec | The loop is about 1 second long. | Aug 02 08:40 |
| Techrights-sec | $ find tuxmachines.org/ -type f -name 'daily-linux.sh' -print | wc -l | Aug 02 08:47 |
| Techrights-sec | 0 | Aug 02 08:47 |
| Techrights-sec | found it, it is in the 'wrong' repository, checking | Aug 02 08:47 |
| Techrights-sec | somehow it is going off every second, when run standalone, monitor-git.sh | Aug 02 08:47 |
| Techrights-sec | will just wait | Aug 02 08:47 |
| Techrights-sec | can you try stopping the daily-links.sh script for bit and try running | Aug 02 08:47 |
| Techrights-sec | monitor-git.sh by itself? | Aug 02 08:47 |

| Techrights-sec | ok | Aug 02 14:54 |
| Techrights-sec | can you please check the update to Git tr-git from this morning and | Aug 02 14:54 |
| Techrights-sec | try pgrep/pkill to cull the multiple background processes? | Aug 02 14:54 |
| Techrights-sec | commit : dd083557d76d542d39c46dc79478b59570899b4d | Aug 02 14:54 |
| schestowitz-TR | I cannot seem to reboot the pi from d card | Aug 02 14:55 |
| schestowitz-TR | could the outage have ruined it? | Aug 02 14:55 |
| schestowitz-TR | I did some better coverage of the pi while down | Aug 02 14:55 |
| schestowitz-TR | like enclosures and all | Aug 02 14:55 |
| schestowitz-TR | but why shuld the sd card be affected? | Aug 02 14:55 |
| schestowitz-TR | many a number of sequential outages ruined it? | Aug 02 14:55 |
| schestowitz-TR | I have backup from a few days ago, but only for /home/* | Aug 02 14:55 |
| Techrights-sec | I'm not sure, the system on the card should generally not be affected by an | Aug 02 15:02 |
| Techrights-sec | unclean shutdown. It would require a fsck on boot up. Maybe you can try | Aug 02 15:02 |
| Techrights-sec | fsck on the EXT partition there via another machine. Do you have an adaper | Aug 02 15:02 |
| Techrights-sec | still? | Aug 02 15:02 |
| schestowitz-TR | yes, let me try | Aug 02 15:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | what command btw? | Aug 02 15:05 |
| Techrights-sec | I'm not sure off the top of my head but it would be fsck and then the parition's | Aug 02 15:06 |
| Techrights-sec | device | Aug 02 15:06 |
| Techrights-sec | be sure not to fsck the wrong partition or the wrong device | Aug 02 15:06 |

| schestowitz-TR | I can get dmesg to see it, i run fsck anbd e2fsck | Aug 02 15:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | but it complaints about superblock not being found | Aug 02 15:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | I can try to see if rianne's pi can boot this sd card | Aug 02 15:15 |
| Techrights-sec | hmm. reading online about it | Aug 02 15:15 |
| Techrights-sec | ok | Aug 02 15:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | the pi now runs off the USB clone | Aug 02 16:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | but it's very slow | Aug 02 16:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | same as with rianne | Aug 02 16:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | even on USB3 port | Aug 02 16:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | one option is, clone this system to another SD card | Aug 02 16:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | then boot from that | Aug 02 16:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | then copy across from backup, which is maybe 2 days old | Aug 02 16:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | even then it would be out of date a bitkaniini said sd cards are not reliable | Aug 02 16:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | and my experience has been the same | Aug 02 16:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | though I cannot say for sure the outages led to thir | Aug 02 16:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | and maybe I can still recover this one? | Aug 02 16:15 |
| Techrights-sec | yes most people would agree with that assessment | Aug 02 16:16 |
| Techrights-sec | you could boot from USB stick. It might be worth it to keep the data on a | Aug 02 16:16 |
| Techrights-sec | separate device. /home/ on a separate stick | Aug 02 16:16 |
| Techrights-sec | probably did you try to use the superblock backup? | Aug 02 16:23 |
| Techrights-sec | "Recover superblock on ext4 filesystem" | Aug 02 16:26 |
| *britney has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) | Aug 02 16:32 | |
| schestowitz-TR | yes, I tried all the above, both manuals, from 2 laptops | Aug 02 16:34 |
| schestowitz-TR | not erven getting close | Aug 02 16:34 |
| schestowitz-TR | I am thinking, what if I just keep it on USB, which is slow, then backup to external sd card periodically? | Aug 02 16:34 |
| schestowitz-TR | I think on / (not /home) the main missing stuff is the scripts for changing throttle mode for ipfs | Aug 02 16:34 |
| schestowitz-TR | for the other files, I can resotr eto a recent snapsho | Aug 02 16:34 |
| schestowitz-TR | and then copy across some missing files | Aug 02 16:34 |
| schestowitz-TR | I think this would be doable | Aug 02 16:34 |
| Techrights-sec | both could be backed up. One option might be to have all four USB ports in | Aug 02 16:36 |
| Techrights-sec | use, but have two offline. Two for the system and two for the data. Or | Aug 02 16:36 |
| Techrights-sec | just two, one for the system+data + one offline as a mirror. Or along those | Aug 02 16:36 |
| Techrights-sec | lines, I wonder if it is possible to have a RAID1 system, as in the whole system? | Aug 02 16:36 |
| Techrights-sec | Preliminarily it looks like it is possible in general, the question is how and | Aug 02 16:36 |
| Techrights-sec | how, specifically on the RPi. | Aug 02 16:36 |

| schestowitz-TR | let's try going back to recovery | Aug 02 16:56 |
| schestowitz-TR | so when I enter the card into the laptops there is /dev/sdb | Aug 02 16:56 |
| schestowitz-TR | but not sdb1 etc. | Aug 02 16:56 |
| schestowitz-TR | running the comemnts suggested gives no progress | Aug 02 16:56 |
| schestowitz-TR | my last backup was 2 days ago | Aug 02 16:56 |
| schestowitz-TR | however it lacks very few system customisations, which we might have in git or homedir anyway | Aug 02 16:56 |
| schestowitz-TR | this usb that's inside rtight now works with wifi and iptables | Aug 02 16:56 |
| Techrights-sec | ack | Aug 02 16:56 |
| Techrights-sec | from what I recall, USB sticks advertise a 5-year guarantee | Aug 02 16:56 |
| Techrights-sec | ack | Aug 02 16:56 |
| schestowitz-TR | like it did before those issues months ago | Aug 02 16:56 |
| schestowitz-TR | its load average, with ipfs, is high | Aug 02 16:56 |
| schestowitz-TR | but gemini and gemini proxy seem responsive | Aug 02 16:56 |
| schestowitz-TR | I've move from one catastrophe to another | Aug 02 16:56 |
| schestowitz-TR | and today weon't feel productive | Aug 02 16:56 |
| schestowitz-TR | if I stay with usb, I can copy in from the latest backup | Aug 02 16:56 |
| schestowitz-TR | then copy across more recent irc logs and bulletins | Aug 02 16:56 |
| schestowitz-TR | then I'd have to redo some end of month tasks (not many) | Aug 02 16:56 |
| schestowitz-TR | either way, I have some text (not important at all) that I added to the pi after backupos | Aug 02 16:56 |
| schestowitz-TR | the important files were still open on other PCs, so nothing lst there.. | Aug 02 16:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | your call | Aug 02 16:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | what to do now.. | Aug 02 16:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | I tried again to salvage something from sd... nowhere near close | Aug 02 16:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | of course it would barely be detected | Aug 02 16:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | I didn't try on rianne's pi | Aug 02 16:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | but I suppose the outcome would be the same | Aug 02 16:57 |
| *britney (~britney@muarsy2vret2q.irc) has joined #boycottnovell | Aug 02 17:04 | |
| schestowitz-TR | should we stick with usb stick then | Aug 02 17:10 |
| schestowitz-TR | and bring back in latest file? | Aug 02 17:10 |
| schestowitz-TR | some stuff will have been lost with the dead sd card | Aug 02 17:10 |
| schestowitz-TR | but nothing crucial | Aug 02 17:10 |
| schestowitz-TR | I can tighten the screws again | Aug 02 17:10 |
| schestowitz-TR | and restore it to a working state | Aug 02 17:10 |
| schestowitz-TR | no more ds card | Aug 02 17:10 |
| Techrights-sec | probably stay with USB stick from now on | Aug 02 17:10 |
| schestowitz-TR | except for clone backup? | Aug 02 17:10 |
| schestowitz-TR | that's what I shall do then | Aug 02 17:11 |
| schestowitz-TR | expect some gemini and proxy downtimes while I copy across home directories | Aug 02 17:11 |
| Techrights-sec | ack | Aug 02 17:21 |
| Techrights-sec | another option would be to make a read-only system for the OS and have the | Aug 02 17:21 |
| Techrights-sec | data on a second device. | Aug 02 17:21 |
| schestowitz-TR | still coying | Aug 02 18:02 |
| schestowitz-TR | i/o is slow on the usb | Aug 02 18:02 |
| schestowitz-TR | for backups I can do incremental overnight | Aug 02 18:02 |
| schestowitz-TR | I just don't have faith in sd cards anymore; you, kaniini, psydroid all witnessed the same | Aug 02 18:02 |
| schestowitz-TR | so it would probably be a mistake to try again with one | Aug 02 18:02 |
| schestowitz-TR | even if they're fast | Aug 02 18:02 |
| Techrights-sec | probably; although there are claims around the net that if you get a name-brand | Aug 02 18:03 |
| Techrights-sec | microSD card it will last, I have not found that to be the case; | Aug 02 18:03 |
| schestowitz-TR | i guess I can consiodere myself lucks as | Aug 02 18:06 |
| schestowitz-TR | a) no serioust data loss | Aug 02 18:06 |
| schestowitz-TR | b) finally they seem to have found and fixed the cause of the outage (also the last one that caused | Aug 02 18:06 |
| schestowitz-TR | similar pi issues | Aug 02 18:06 |
| schestowitz-TR | c) I'm off work till sat | Aug 02 18:06 |
| schestowitz-TR | I'll take it slowly, please bear with me and try not to give me more tasks | Aug 02 18:06 |
| schestowitz-TR | I am taking things on a prioority basis | Aug 02 18:06 |

| schestowitz-TR | jst to avoids staying at home | Aug 02 18:06 |
| schestowitz-TR | so now I'm drowning in things | Aug 02 18:06 |
| schestowitz-TR | I have some articles I'll try to publish | Aug 02 18:06 |
| schestowitz-TR | right now I post links sent | Aug 02 18:06 |
| schestowitz-TR | then I need to clean rss | Aug 02 18:06 |

| Techrights-sec | I was surprised by how fast the proxy worked | Aug 02 18:09 |
| schestowitz-TR | of course the energy provider never keps the callback promises | Aug 02 18:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | and was hard to reache | Aug 02 18:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | ven when you tell their machine it's an emergency | Aug 02 18:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | but I have confidence that now, unlike last time, there is actual a resolution | Aug 02 18:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | my last such outage (not fuse at home) was round 2005 | Aug 02 18:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | so I am not accustomed to this situation | Aug 02 18:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | last such outage caused the pi to reboot and I ASSUME due to update (maybe NOT) it would | Aug 02 18:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | not have wifi, would not mount external drive, iptables stopped working | Aug 02 18:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | IIRC (not sure) I all along knew we missed something in the latest clone (USB) and it was that | Aug 02 18:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | tc-2 and tc-6 throttling things with permissions set in sudoers for gemini | Aug 02 18:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | but after 2 months I realise I can just leave on ipfs when I'm afk | Aug 02 18:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | and wifi is no longer needed really, we changed location | Aug 02 18:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | maybe we can move the gemini hosting to new techrights at some stage, at least it is RAIDed afaik (or guess) | Aug 02 18:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | but then against gemini scales OK for hosting from home, so it would be a regression | Aug 02 18:15 |
| Techrights-sec | ack | Aug 02 18:23 |
| schestowitz-TR | thanks for the advice btw, very supportive when I needed it | Aug 02 18:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | we'll cruise past this by tomorrow, the pi is not as reliable as a laptop | Aug 02 18:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | but it has its many other advantages | Aug 02 18:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | (the anger direacted is related to retiring early btw, but too personal for details) | Aug 02 18:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | I have some good news re market share, epo not as urgent atm | Aug 02 18:25 |
| Techrights-sec | np | Aug 02 18:25 |
| Techrights-sec | which market desktop or server? | Aug 02 18:27 |
| schestowitz-TR | draft | Aug 02 18:27 |
| Techrights-sec | Android is the main system there | Aug 02 18:29 |
| Techrights-sec | ack | Aug 02 18:29 |
| schestowitz-TR | i will try multikasking a bit | Aug 02 18:30 |
| schestowitz-TR | to feel more productive | Aug 02 18:30 |
| schestowitz-TR | the power of being effective is related to stress management and omposure I think | Aug 02 18:30 |
| schestowitz-TR | yesterday rianne said she never ever saw me cry | Aug 02 18:30 |
| schestowitz-TR | and then described siatuations (hypothetical) and said, "would you cry?" | Aug 02 18:30 |
| schestowitz-TR | we have our 10th anniverary in sept. | Aug 02 18:30 |
| schestowitz-TR | maybe she'll submit the docs by then, there's no hard deadline | Aug 02 18:30 |
| Techrights-sec | congratulations, in advance | Aug 02 18:39 |
| Techrights-sec | it's supposedly an "aluminum/aluminium" anniversary? | Aug 02 18:39 |
| Techrights-sec | or tin? | Aug 02 18:39 |
| Techrights-sec | I hope the paperwork goes smoothly | Aug 02 18:39 |
| schestowitz-TR | birthday this month, but last one sucked due to covid restrictions and risks | Aug 02 18:40 |
| schestowitz-TR | btw, I might leave the pi perpetually hooked to external disk | Aug 02 18:40 |
| schestowitz-TR | it can back up everything to it overnight | Aug 02 18:40 |
| schestowitz-TR | the risk is system compromise, which unless I remove the wire is still a thing | Aug 02 18:40 |
| schestowitz-TR | 3tb drive | Aug 02 18:40 |
| schestowitz-TR | I am still trying to make things robuest to failure and catastrophe | Aug 02 18:41 |
| schestowitz-TR | do you have a full backup of tx-new btw, inc. git? | Aug 02 18:41 |
| schestowitz-TR | at least that annoying xfs issue is gone for good | Aug 02 18:41 |
| schestowitz-TR | and afaik it led to no loss that I can detect | Aug 02 18:41 |
| Techrights-sec | ack | Aug 02 18:42 |
| Techrights-sec | you could do an "overlay filesystem" making it read-only for the system partition but that'd be a lot of fuss to update in that two reboots would probably be | Aug 02 18:42 |
| Techrights-sec | necessary each time | Aug 02 18:42 |
| Techrights-sec | no I do not have a full backup but I do have some tarballs of Git | Aug 02 18:42 |
| schestowitz-TR | ok, good for my ptsd (ish) after today's nuisance | Aug 02 18:43 |
| schestowitz-TR | didn't take it very hard | Aug 02 18:43 |
| schestowitz-TR | my main concern was catching up with all the tasks as eome pile up and tehre is downtimes | Aug 02 18:43 |
| Techrights-sec | and I copied the database today but that's for the next phase not a backup | Aug 02 18:46 |
| Techrights-sec | oh, i was too slow in commenting, but if another similar post is done, it | Aug 02 18:46 |
| Techrights-sec | would be useful to name OEM lock-in specifically as a problem inhibiting | Aug 02 18:46 |
| Techrights-sec | growth of GNU/Linux on the desktop/laptop. It already dominates the other | Aug 02 18:46 |
| Techrights-sec | domains: server, embedded, mobile, and supercomputer | Aug 02 18:46 |
| Techrights-sec | The posts are very convenient to read on Gemini | Aug 02 18:52 |
| schestowitz-TR | it is like reading email, except my email client is very bloated | Aug 02 18:52 |
| Techrights-sec | I have one account which has inflicted webmail on everybody and it is hell | Aug 02 18:53 |
| Techrights-sec | webmail is an unpleasant toy | Aug 02 18:53 |
| schestowitz-TR | it is ok when you travel and use some public terminal | Aug 02 18:53 |
| schestowitz-TR | but not a replacment on one's nature workstation | Aug 02 18:53 |
| Techrights-sec | It's better than nothing but that still does not mean much | Aug 02 18:56 |
| Techrights-sec | Correct, it's not a replacement for a proper client on a real workstation | Aug 02 18:56 |
| Techrights-sec | One of the reasons so many now hate e-mail is that they only experience it as | Aug 02 18:56 |
| Techrights-sec | either webmail or via phone. The other is that Bill's armada of botnets | Aug 02 18:56 |
| Techrights-sec | spew spam 24/7, that's the technical side. On the political side, politicians | Aug 02 18:56 |
| Techrights-sec | decided ~ 20 years ago that spam was the way to go. It was on the way out | Aug 02 18:56 |
| Techrights-sec | until one key EU politician announced loudly that spam was "good for the | Aug 02 18:56 |
| Techrights-sec | economy", she tried to walk back the comments a week later but took no real | Aug 02 18:56 |
| Techrights-sec | action to make good and the floodgates opened at that point | Aug 02 18:56 |
| Techrights-sec | Spam is also probably a cover for a lot of covert breaches | Aug 02 18:56 |
