schestowitz-TR2

the front page does not show them

schestowitz-TR2

gemini shows nothing

schestowitz-TR2

feeds in gemini and https are same as last night

schestowitz-TR2

the navigation links do in fact show them

Techrights-sec

not after the ones above

Techrights-sec

which two nodes, specifically? I can check

Techrights-sec

the last 4

Techrights-sec

Techrights-sec

checking

Techrights-sec

ok it's good that at least the navigation links show them; I can see them in

Techrights-sec

the db, too.

Techrights-sec

looking at the feed generator now

Sep 04 08:31

Techrights-sec

ok the feed generator is turning up an empty set

Sep 04 08:31

checking

Sep 04 08:31

schestowitz-TR2

maybe the long char fix? I don't think we added anything new after that change

Sep 04 08:32

Techrights-sec

yes I was just seeing that, it was not supposed to capture the filehandle too

Sep 04 08:32

Techrights-sec

yep, winding that down a little

Sep 04 08:32

schestowitz-TR2

no worries, being static page generator, it fails 'gracefully'

Sep 04 08:34

schestowitz-TR2

meanwhile I've made tarballs of ALL the accounts plus /var/www and am now copyiong those tarballc across to my PC

Sep 04 08:34

schestowitz-TR2

sometimes just having a second frozen copy of things comes to the rescure if you accidentally bungle some file

Sep 04 08:34

Techrights-sec

yes, failing gracefully is a good design feature

Sep 04 08:35

Techrights-sec

please try refreshing the feeds or the other stuff

Sep 04 08:35

schestowitz-TR2

gemini listings back

schestowitz-TR2

gemini atom ok

schestowitz-TR2

front page (https) ok

schestowitz-TR2

boom. 4 new items in tuxurl-new.sh

schestowitz-TR2

> Ok that was easy. Try now.

schestowitz-TR2

> hopefully it was not "too" easy

schestowitz-TR2

Techrights-sec

excellent, thanks for spotting that

Techrights-sec

the data was there, and getting retrieved, it just was not getting through

Techrights-sec

to the destination files

Techrights-sec

schestowitz-TR2

btw, news is not slow today

schestowitz-TR2

it's DEAD today

schestowitz-TR2

it's like "WTF? Is this thing refreshing?"

schestowitz-TR2

finished: copied tarballs of ALL the accounts and /var/www

schestowitz-TR2

to ssd

schestowitz-TR2

also did the wordpress backup and drupal backup (TM) last night

schestowitz-TR2

and htaccess (for old)

Techrights-sec

Techrights-sec

There's a lot going on, it's just that the media has decided collectively not

Techrights-sec

to cover any of it, especially the items (which I guess would be all of them)

Techrights-sec

which touch on politics and national policy.

Techrights-sec

just /var/www/tuxmachines.org is relevant to TM

schestowitz-TR2

thanks, yes, I cast the net a little wider just in case

schestowitz-TR2

I really should make a file with all the steps for future backups

schestowitz-TR2

done

schestowitz-TR2

next step would be a shell script, I want to run the steps manually one more time

Techrights-sec

A shell script would be appropriate for that.

schestowitz-TR2

or something recrusive can exhaust disk space

schestowitz-TR2

like backing up roy to roy

Sep 04 08:46

schestowitz-TR2

from what I saw, it would omit the archive itself

Sep 04 08:46

schestowitz-TR2

but I want to be 100% sure again

Sep 04 08:46

schestowitz-TR2

just to note:

schestowitz-TR2

with geek4geeks I used to filter on "interview"

schestowitz-TR2

far too much shit and webspam there

schestowitz-TR2

then I decided that site deserves no traffic at all, it's rogue like spamnil

schestowitz-TR2

regarding michael west, most of the stuff there is not (A)AP reposts

schestowitz-TR2

so I filter and delete all on "AAP"

schestowitz-TR2

soon the site as a whole will be no better than just getting MSM directly

schestowitz-TR2

with all the usuala BS about how the economy is recovering

schestowitz-TR2

the Germany incel in the IRC channel is now ranting about soaring food prices

schestowitz-TR2

and I cannot blame him

schestowitz-TR2

the media is gaslighting

schestowitz-TR2

I think he might be missing a point; he wrote another post (about tech media) in tandem)

schestowitz-TR2

media was not always THIS bad

schestowitz-TR2

I remember as a younger person some truly good journalism

schestowitz-TR2

and speaking truth to power

schestowitz-TR2

not always, but a lot more ofpten

schestowitz-TR2

when it comes to EPO, back in 2015 the media played along with us a lot more

schestowitz-TR2

now it talks down on us

schestowitz-TR2

like we're interfering with "the system"

Techrights-sec

ack

Sep 04 09:08

Techrights-sec

Yes, there was quite a bit. Including some major investigative work,

Sep 04 09:08

Techrights-sec

perhaps most famously "The Pentagon Papers" as well as "Watergate"

Sep 04 09:08

schestowitz-TR2

even the media collabs with snowden and wikileaks -- not to long ago

schestowitz-TR2

pro publica not bags bribes from billg

schestowitz-TR2

so do billbc and 'guardian'

schestowitz-TR2

WashPo (pentagon paper) is owned by bezos

schestowitz-TR2

and nytimes lost risen

schestowitz-TR2

but he ran to another trap, the one of omidyar

schestowitz-TR2

where is he now? gone.

schestowitz-TR2

I had another examle in mind but forgot...

schestowitz-TR2

there are plenty anyway

schestowitz-TR2

risen and others (charlie something) covered secret US programs

schestowitz-TR2

like CIA stuff

schestowitz-TR2

APA, Stuxnet, Sterling...

schestowitz-TR2

now it's something [pro-trump] and [anti-trump] and "tweet wars" over the tribalism

schestowitz-TR2

or sho dances at a private party

schestowitz-TR2

I still kick myself for forgetting the other example I had in mind

schestowitz-TR2

like, when they spend a lot time unearthing stuff that's really bad

schestowitz-TR2

and big

schestowitz-TR2

and had impact for a very long time

schestowitz-TR2

if snowden came out to journalists today, e.g. gaurdian

schestowitz-TR2

they would spurn him, saying he's just trying to 'bash' biden

schestowitz-TR2

like they paint a twitter wber as some musk enabler

schestowitz-TR2

kiriakou warned about what the trump raid means to people who are not trump

schestowitz-TR2

nobody paid attention except scheer

schestowitz-TR2

and since rt is effectively dead, nobody will give him a voice at all

Techrights-sec

not too long ago and certainly not for very long either

Techrights-sec

topci ideas for later: Bill Binney, John Kiriakou, Thomas Drake, Daniel Ellsberg

Techrights-sec

Each brought up important issues, and the attacks on each case are relevant

Techrights-sec

to the attacks on ES and JA

Techrights-sec

Yes. There are also newer ones like Reality Winner, Kirk Weibe, and others.

Techrights-sec

Lifting up their cases occasionally can be covered from different angles each

Techrights-sec

times since there are so many facets to each one.

schestowitz-TR2

binney was no longer media darling the moment he said something to tge effect (or sounding like) of supporting trump

schestowitz-TR2

and he more or less vanished

schestowitz-TR2

if he died, we would not know

schestowitz-TR2

kirk beibe followed me in tiwtter

schestowitz-TR2

*weibe

schestowitz-TR2

nobody ever mentions him; he never existed!

schestowitz-TR2

the incentive to beocme a wber has been lower

schestowitz-TR2

as the media is not playing alone

schestowitz-TR2

*along

schestowitz-TR2

even when women are harmed

schestowitz-TR2

they don't csre

schestowitz-TR2

*Care

schestowitz-TR2

schestowitz-TR2

I brought up ES because many assume that because it is "old" it is no longer true

schestowitz-TR2

or not relevant

schestowitz-TR2

even though it very much is

schestowitz-TR2

even more so then before

schestowitz-TR2

*then

schestowitz-TR2

I wonder if Jessica Raddack is still active at all

schestowitz-TR2

she was receiving a ton of attention in the 'golden day' of US gov. whistleblowers

schestowitz-TR2

before it was all about Trump Trump Trump

schestowitz-TR2

*than

schestowitz-TR2

there were several cia wbers

schestowitz-TR2

they got slandered in twitter

schestowitz-TR2

so that people would not pay any attention to them

<p>The phone used in this project and most others like it have numeric keypads set up in the same way as keyboards, with a matrix reducing the number of I/O pins needed on a connected microcontroller. Multiply the number or rows in the matrix by the number of columns to get the maximum number of keys. This particular keypad had a combined row/column total of 11, which means it could support up to 30 unique

schestowitz

keys. But only 12 of those are connected, so the tutorial includes instructions on how to identify the key that each row/column combo triggers. Once you know that information, you can connect the row and column wires to the I/O pins of an Arduino.</p>

schestowitz

schestowitz

<p>There has long been a desire to get rid of Cygwin as a build dependency on LibreOffice. In addition to building dependencies it is also used to create the Windows MSI installer. Due to reasons I don't remember any more I chose to look into replacing just that bit with some modern tooling. This is the tragedy that followed.</p>

schestowitz

<p>The first step to replacing something old is to determine what and how the old system works. Given that it is an installer one would expect it to use WiX, NSIS or maybe even some less know installer tool. But of course you already guessed that's not going to be the case. After sufficient amounts of digging you can discover that the installer is invoked by this (1600+ line) Perl script. It imports 50+

schestowitz

other internal Perl modules. This is not going to be a fun day.</p>

schestowitz

schestowitz

<p>Economics teaches us that one person’s income is another person’s expenditure. But we don’t think like that when we think of waste. Instead, our usual intuition for waste is it's something expended that we didn’t have to, or something left behind after we did what we needed to.</p>

schestowitz

<p>In today’s distributed systems and cloud-first environment, however, that perfectly fine concept is a little trickier. Many apparently obvious examples of it become a bit less obvious when you look at them more closely. It’s also hard to decide what to do about that “waste”, even when you’ve decided what it is.</p>

schestowitz

<p>But fundamentally, there is one kind of waste which is ongoing, pernicious, and which nearly every organisation underestimates, and should be the real target of our efforts. Of which, more later.</p>

<p>Are extremism and misogyny linked? Joan Smith documented how the great majority of the men who committed terrorist killings in Europe since 9/11, whether far-right or Islamist, display strongly misogynistic attitudes. Most also have a history of physically abusing women — often in their own families — before committing acts of violence against strangers. The Womanstats database, created by Val

schestowitz

Hudson and colleagues, has uncovered many statistically significant relationships between the physical security of women and the security of states: authoritarian patriarchal attitudes undermine good government in multiple ways.</p>

schestowitz-TR2

then wget that

schestowitz-TR2

and then process it, output the code to paste for it

schestowitz-TR2

assuming it was deposited OK in the appropriate directory

schestowitz-TR2

this way, no "upload" directory and inotify

schestowitz-TR2

just interactive

alternatively, maybe inotify will pick something up from a wget command or callback from em-extract/add-and-update

arindam is confined to the latter, so it cannot be done with wget directly

inotify seems not to work as it should, I thought it worked in the beginning

Techrights-sec

but it is not reliable or seems not to work at all now. So perhaps the approch

Techrights-sec

you suggest, of asking for a URL during the addition and then fetching and

Techrights-sec

processing the image, might be more appropriate.

this would help marius post in the old style

schestowitz-TR2

in fact, it can propose the template with the image in place

schestowitz-TR2

and then assure consistency among authors

schestowitz-TR2

i think there was something else I wanted to tell you, I shuffles lots of machines and tasks around today, very much for the better

schestowitz-TR2

and I wanted to say something about EFF losing key people
