schestowitz-TR"With the release of version 4 of Mastodon [1] there has been a problem of links to profile pages or conversation threads "going dark" within shell based browsers, such as Lynx [2]. In version 3.x you would get a text rendering of each page, but now you only get a terse *"To use the Mastodon web application, please enable JavaScript"* message." gemini://libreserver.org/blog/emerging-from-darkness.gmiJan 03 00:24

techrightssec2Thinking about it, it would not be good to keep refering to ${formerEmployer} asJan 03 03:35
techrightssec2"open-source" or "open source" at all but instead as a formerly open source  Jan 03 03:35
techrightssec2company. Jan 03 03:35
techrightssec2Otherwise the rants risk painting actual Open Source or mayb even Free and Open Jan 03 03:35
techrightssec2Source software in a bad light by creating confusion or a bad association. Jan 03 03:35
schestowitz-TRthe problem is, there are many companies called "Sirius"Jan 03 03:36
schestowitz-TRincluding XMJan 03 03:36
techrightssec2Right, however the main point is to avoid tying the phrase to a company thatJan 03 04:29
techrightssec2is quite bad and heading down the drain even though it was once rather good    Jan 03 04:29
techrightssec2to work at, pre-NDAJan 03 04:29
schestowitz-TRcuriously enough one file did not get copied to ipfs last nightJan 03 04:30
schestowitz-TRI detected this because I monittor closely with sanity checksJan 03 04:30
schestowitz-TRthe logs suggest it was passedJan 03 04:30
schestowitz-TRbut I could not see it thereJan 03 04:30

schestowitz-TRrerunning nowJan 03 04:30
schestowitz-TRit's the latest bulletin fileJan 03 04:30
schestowitz-TRit did copy it correctly to the local ipfs node (pi)Jan 03 04:30
schestowitz-TRstrange that verbose rsync would show it as passing okJan 03 04:30
schestowitz-TRcomes to show you cannot blindly rely on thatJan 03 04:30
schestowitz-TRside upside: I realised irc scrollback in gemini was not runningJan 03 04:30
schestowitz-TRit lost the link yesterdayJan 03 04:30
schestowitz-TRoh, wait, logging worked OK, I thinkJan 03 04:30
schestowitz-TRit shows it passing ok to the piJan 03 04:30
schestowitz-TRnothing shown for the serverJan 03 04:30
schestowitz-TRso everything does get caught at the endJan 03 04:30
schestowitz-TRI'm happier now :-)Jan 03 04:30
schestowitz-TRwhat do you suggest I refer to the company as? There are also some unknowns, as thereJan 03 04:30
schestowitz-TRmight be more romance thereJan 03 04:30
