| schestowitz__ | what would you check if the LEDs on the Pi stop lighting up all of a sudden? I've not attempted a reboot yet... | Mar 03 04:15 |
|---|---|---|
| schestowitz__ | never mind, rianne's fault, HAT detached | Mar 03 05:16 |
| schestowitz__ | or not... still not working. I'll take a closer look | Mar 03 05:28 |
| schestowitz__ | solved now | Mar 03 05:58 |
| Techrights-sec | if properly mounted the HAT takes skill and effort to detach, it should be on firmly. | Mar 03 08:15 |
| Techrights-sec | Also only attach or detach while powered down and unplugged from the power supply | Mar 03 08:15 |
| schestowitz__ | yes, I powered it down 3 times | Mar 03 08:15 |
| schestowitz__ | lesson learned; always start with the basics, assume something physical may have changed (not due to me) | Mar 03 08:15 |
| Techrights-sec | it happens | Mar 03 08:18 |
| Techrights-sec | I'm puzzled here as to why my alert-activity and other tmux hooks are not | Mar 03 08:18 |
| Techrights-sec | triggering upon activity in this window | Mar 03 08:18 |
| Techrights-sec | They used to do so | Mar 03 08:18 |
| Techrights-sec | Which services broke? | Mar 03 08:18 |
| schestowitz__ | something bluetooth (details in IRC logs) and lightdm, maybe because the screen was no longer attached, or unsued since boot (did not look into it much as it's not related to the lights) | Mar 03 08:19 |
| schestowitz__ | I was, at the time, researching whether it's easily doable to convert wiki pages to gemtext (it's not). Then sort of gave up and decided to look into the lights issue, which was harder to figure out than I had imagined because I tried to be quiet and not moving any parts around. Later it became apparent things had been moved a bit, maybe because of the printer. Maybe soon I'll get an external screen for it, one that's never | Mar 03 08:22 |
| schestowitz__ | occupied. It already has barrier on it set up. | Mar 03 08:22 |
| Techrights-sec | I never figured out how to get lightdm and the desktop to fire up without | Mar 03 08:22 |
| Techrights-sec | an active monitor | Mar 03 08:22 |
| Techrights-sec | there is some work-around somewhere | Mar 03 08:22 |
| schestowitz__ | Yes, I think you have to boot with a screen inserted, otherwise no workaround | Mar 03 08:22 |
| schestowitz__ | A real-life problem, unlike... how do I get vscore without going directly to microsoft.com in a Web browser | Mar 03 08:23 |
| schestowitz__ | telemetry over tor :-) | Mar 03 08:27 |
| Techrights-sec | Tor? | Mar 03 08:27 |
| Techrights-sec | Or I2P? | Mar 03 08:28 |
| Techrights-sec | If you run the vs stuff that is a different matter. | Mar 03 08:32 |

| schestowitz__ | It's possible that some are inherited from older systems. in php-nuke (I still use it in some sites) I lost some char-related stuff in upgrades and noticed the issue when it was too late to rollback. | Mar 03 17:07 |
| schestowitz__ | I am super-careful not to change anything big in the site without doing it in baby steps, then testing. Some scripts, for example, rely on finding particular text and the URL structure never changed since 2006. Same with post width (for layout of pictures and other stuff). RSS URL also... careful what's changed... like removing mariadb, only to realise it stops backups taking place. Too much "modernisation" has killed sites before | Mar 03 17:10 |
| schestowitz__ | (see /. and others which break APIs, feeds etc.) | Mar 03 17:10 |
| Techrights-sec | yes, it's a balance | Mar 03 17:19 |
| schestowitz__ | last week I did prod kaniini re container migrations, he nodded, but of course nothing happened in days to follow. The will is there, it'll happen eventually, little by little, for sure... | Mar 03 17:20 |

| -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-ipkitten.blogspot.com | BREAKING: The legality of Board of Appeal oral proceedings by video conference has been referred to the EBA - The IPKat | Mar 03 22:30 | |
| schestowitz__ | If we take, as an example, the case of a criminal trial: imagine you sit, wrongly accused of course, in jail. You are sure the judge will judge you fairly. You are lead to a VC room with a few screens. There is no judge - only the video stream of a judge. Is it a real person, is it a clever bot, is it a deep fake face? You don't know. Are they giving his full attention to your case or are they playing some game on a separate | Mar 03 22:30 |
| schestowitz__ | monitor? You don't know. Is the judge aware that you are a person, do they feel your anguish over being wrongly accused? Or are you for them just a small video stream on a low quality monitor...? | Mar 03 22:30 |
| schestowitz__ | This may be a bit dystopian and not a stringent legal argument but I hope it illustrates the uneasiness I have over binding final judgments made in a video conference. In video meetings I regularly find myself becoming detached... there is big screen between me and the issue. I don't really feel that involved... it is some issue through the looking-glass, different from when I am sitting in a room with people, trying to find a | Mar 03 22:30 |
| schestowitz__ | solution. | Mar 03 22:30 |
| schestowitz__ | There is a tradition going back forever of people coming (physically) together to discuss and judge the merits of a case that has a special quality that, in my opinion, cannot be replicated over video streams. | Mar 03 22:30 |
