●● IRC: #boycottnovell @ Techrights IRC Network: Monday, September 06, 2021 ●● ● Sep 06 [00:04] schestowitz-TR [15:20] btw, i've been making optimizations to xxxxxx recently, and i now have someone working on a gemini site [00:04] schestowitz-TR [15:20] i'm planning to add gemtext support in my static site generator [00:04] schestowitz-TR [15:20] and have a sort of hybrid thing [00:04] schestowitz-TR [15:21] here's a paste of some text i sent to that person today: [00:04] schestowitz-TR [15:21] [pending] xxxxxxxxxx: i've decided what i will do: [00:04] schestowitz-TR [15:21] [pending] xxxxxxxxxx: in untitled, i will add an option: disablegemtext. if enabled, gemtext will be disabled. otherwise, it'll default to this behaviour: [00:04] schestowitz-TR [15:21] [pending] xxxxxxxxxx: if .gmi available, treat that as source. convert it into markdown, and then into html [00:05] schestowitz-TR [15:21] [pending] xxxxxxxxxx: if .gmi not available, but .md is available, treat that as source and convert into html [00:05] schestowitz-TR [15:21] [pending] xxxxxxxxxx: markdown to html will be done using pandoc [00:05] schestowitz-TR [15:21] [pending] xxxxxxxxxx: gemtext to markdown will be done using either a program that i will write, or an existing program if i find one [00:05] schestowitz-TR [15:21] [pending] xxxxxxxxxx: there are certain pages where it makes sense to have a version optimized for html. e.g. the homepage [00:05] schestowitz-TR [15:21] [pending] xxxxxxxxxx: so the idea is: [00:05] schestowitz-TR [15:21] [pending] xxxxxxxxxx: most pages will have gemtext as source [00:05] schestowitz-TR [15:21] [pending] xxxxxxxxxx: however, a few pages (probably only like 2-3 pages) i will purposefully not have .gmi files [00:05] schestowitz-TR [15:21] [pending] xxxxxxxxxx: for those pages, gmi files can still exist [00:05] schestowitz-TR [15:21] [pending] xxxxxxxxxx: but i will add a second feature to untitled: [00:05] schestowitz-TR [15:21] [pending] xxxxxxxxxx: page.cfg [00:05] schestowitz-TR [15:21] [pending] xxxxxxxxxx: right now there is site.cfg, to configure a whole site. and i mentioned that feature i will add, to disable the gemtext feature [00:05] schestowitz-TR [15:21] [pending] xxxxxxxxxx: well, for pages where i want a gemtext file to exist (optimized for gemini) but where i also want markdown source for the html site, there will be a page.cfg. where page is e.g. index.html, and then you have page.cfg [00:05] schestowitz-TR [15:21] [pending] xxxxxxxxxx: i will implement all of this [00:05] schestowitz-TR [15:21] [pending] xxxxxxxxxx: i will wait for you to convert the xxxxxx site to gemtext. for now, convert the whole thing and track my changes to lbwww. i will assimilate your gemtext files as described, when you are done [00:05] schestowitz-TR [15:22] [pending] xxxxxxxxxx: thank you for doing this! i've had gemini on todo for a while now but have never used it. delegating it to you means i can focus on other tasks [00:05] schestowitz-TR [15:22] (this is not on irc) [00:05] schestowitz-TR [15:22] (xxxxxxxxxx is an alias i go by in this network, that this log is from) [00:05] schestowitz-TR [15:22] tell me what you think of that :) [00:05] schestowitz-TR [15:22] "untitled" is my static site generator listed here: https://untitled.vimuser.org/ [00:05] -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-untitled.vimuser.org | Untitled Untitled static site generator [00:05] schestowitz-TR [15:23] tl;dr i will nuke most of the markdown files on xxxxx, and replace with gemtext. and i'll make them be converted to markdown. and then into html. or markdown into html, with separate gemtext page [00:05] schestowitz-TR [15:23] in some cases, certain pages will need to have gemtext and markdown versions that differ. but in many cases, gemtext can be the only source [00:05] schestowitz-TR [15:23] hence the "hybrid" context [00:05] schestowitz-TR [15:24] anyway, good day. i have work to do. thanks again [00:05] schestowitz-TR [15:24] cheers [00:05] schestowitz-TR [15:25] i was typing an article [00:05] schestowitz-TR [15:26] it's quite possible that you might find what i wrote interesting. that's why i shared it with you. because i know you like gemini [00:05] schestowitz-TR [15:28] yeah [00:05] schestowitz-TR [15:29] just unfortunate timing [00:05] schestowitz-TR [15:55] ok, I have just caught up [00:05] schestowitz-TR [15:55] I think better to convert offline, once [00:05] schestowitz-TR [15:55] not on demand [00:05] schestowitz-TR [15:56] (if I understood correctly) [00:05] schestowitz-TR [15:59] I like the layout of https://untitled.vimuser.org/ because it is very clean [00:05] schestowitz-TR [15:59] like the mockups we had a year ago for new homepage for techrights (top level domain( [00:05] schestowitz-TR [16:00] one single file for everything [00:05] schestowitz-TR [16:42] not on demand [00:05] schestowitz-TR [16:42] it's a static site generator [00:05] schestowitz-TR [16:42] have a look at the current xxxxx [00:05] schestowitz-TR [16:42] i've simplified it a lot [00:05] schestowitz-TR [16:42] and optimized it. e.g. css is inline now, to cut down load times on high latency connections [00:06] schestowitz-TR [16:42] (and the css itself is optimized) [00:06] schestowitz-TR [16:43] some of the changes i've made are to make the site more "compatible" with gemini, ready for the transition. i intend to turn almost all of it into gemtext as a source language, but when running the static site generator to update the site, convert gemtext to markdown if markdown not available [00:06] schestowitz-TR [16:44] it'll be great, once implemented. i'm waiting for this person to finish creating the gemtext pages, then i'll add gemtext support to untitled [00:06] schestowitz-TR [16:44] hybrid markdown/gemtext static site generator [00:06] schestowitz-TR [16:44] of course, gemtext doesn't need to be "compiled" or converted into anything. just point a gemini client at it [00:06] schestowitz-TR [16:45] but for most use case scenarios, gemtext can easily translate into markdown, to then be translated into html ● Sep 06 [01:15] *liberty_box has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) [01:15] *rianne_ has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) [01:17] *DaemonFC has quit (Quit: Leaving) [01:18] *rianne_ (~rianne@qhduu73fcjmdn.irc) has joined #boycottnovell [01:19] *liberty_box (~liberty@qhduu73fcjmdn.irc) has joined #boycottnovell ● Sep 06 [02:50] *rianne_ has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) [02:50] *liberty_box has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) ● Sep 06 [03:19] *DaemonFC (~DaemonFC@58326zsrjzujg.irc) has joined #boycottnovell [03:42] *DaemonFC has quit (Quit: Leaving) ● Sep 06 [04:22] *Despatche (~desp@u3xy9z2ifjzci.irc) has joined #boycottnovell ● Sep 06 [06:15] *Despatche has quit (Quit: Read error: Connection reset by deer) [06:26] *rianne_ (~rianne@qhduu73fcjmdn.irc) has joined #boycottnovell [06:26] *liberty_box (~liberty@qhduu73fcjmdn.irc) has joined #boycottnovell [06:40] *rianne_ has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) [06:40] *liberty_box has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) ● Sep 06 [07:03] *liberty_box (~liberty@qhduu73fcjmdn.irc) has joined #boycottnovell [07:03] *rianne_ (~rianne@qhduu73fcjmdn.irc) has joined #boycottnovell ● Sep 06 [09:10] *psydroid3 (~psydroid@cqggrmwgu7gji.irc) has joined #boycottnovell ● Sep 06 [11:39] Techrights-sec thinking about it a bit, some of the anti-vax noise is a strawman. [11:39] Techrights-sec In particular, the "profits-before-people" anti-vaxxers are distracting [11:39] Techrights-sec from the patents by implying that it is the vaccine which costs a lot [11:39] Techrights-sec and ignoring the cost of the patents on the vaccines. [11:39] Techrights-sec What they imply is that the patents are part of the cost rather than [11:39] Techrights-sec tacked on and unnecessary. [11:40] schestowitz-TR it would be useful to be able to prove, e.g. with some tactless interview, that this is intentional (media and pharma companies that farm the media) [11:55] Techrights-sec It may be one of the reasons the public is agitated against whistleblowers [11:55] Techrights-sec in the news. It's sort of a pre-emptive strike and a warning to would be [11:55] Techrights-sec reporters. [11:55] schestowitz-TR it already discourages me from doing any posts about vaccines, even if just about patent aspect. The flippant reactions are binary (for or against).
