| Techrights-sec | The image processor test now has some primitive de-duplication capabilities. | Sep 06 07:44 |
|---|---|---|
| Techrights-sec | MD5 would probably be enough but it uses SHA256. Maybe that is too much space | Sep 06 07:44 |
| Techrights-sec | in the db. | Sep 06 07:44 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | testing... | Sep 06 07:44 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | today btw we get Liz Shell confirmed, our new business supremacist | Sep 06 07:44 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | it does not deal with webp | Sep 06 07:49 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | another suggestion: as the web is so broken and many image URLs have trailing "?junk" it might help for the wrapped to buffer the input with '' | Sep 06 07:49 |
| *DaemonFC has quit (Quit: ChatZilla 0.13 [SeaMonkey 2.53.13/20220708150114]) | Sep 06 08:38 | |
| Techrights-sec | Shell already announce de-investment in services and infrastructure, aka | Sep 06 08:39 |
| Techrights-sec | dismantling society. | Sep 06 08:39 |
| Techrights-sec | The script hasn't been tested with ? yet, though it /should/ in principle work | Sep 06 08:39 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | the first test I did was webp, not by choice | Sep 06 09:04 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | and then I realised that like my older machines it does not support the format | Sep 06 09:04 |
| Techrights-sec | webp? https://developers.google.com/speed/webp | Sep 06 09:04 |
| Techrights-sec | The current incarnaton can only handle gif, jpeg, and png | Sep 06 09:04 |
| Techrights-sec | Though it can be refitted for other formats. \ | Sep 06 09:04 |
| Techrights-sec | Which formats should be supported? | Sep 06 09:04 |
| -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-developers.google.com | An image format for the Web | WebP | Google Developers | Sep 06 09:04 | |
| Techrights-sec | The current, limited set leaves a nice, lightweight dependency list. | Sep 06 09:04 |
| Techrights-sec | SVG is not supported yet either. Should it be? | Sep 06 09:04 |
| Techrights-sec | Adding in ImageMagick is a lot heavier and, sometimes, introduces vulnerabilities. | Sep 06 09:05 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | no need for any additonal package, your program deals with over 90% of cases | Sep 06 09:06 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | I was just unfortunate trying to pick at random a page, only to realise it uses webp | Sep 06 09:06 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | I can use the old way, with Features, to add unsupported formats | Sep 06 09:06 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | the main downside is, others cannot or won't learn | Sep 06 09:06 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | notably rianne and marius | Sep 06 09:06 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | but if it works OK most of the time, then fine | Sep 06 09:06 |
| Techrights-sec | The details are not finalized yet, so /i/ can still get cleared out during | Sep 06 09:26 |
| Techrights-sec | further testing. But do test, please. | Sep 06 09:26 |
| Techrights-sec | Looking at Image::Magick now | Sep 06 09:26 |
| Techrights-sec | It handles webp just fine. | Sep 06 09:26 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | I've meanwhile pushed a little script that assumes current url heirarchy in /i/ | Sep 06 09:26 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | *hierarchy | Sep 06 09:26 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | are you ok with me adding some images using the new tool, knowing it is still in testing phase? | Sep 06 09:27 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | I see you left the ones in ~i top level dir in tact | Sep 06 09:27 |
| Techrights-sec | in /i/ the new hierarchy is /i/YYYY/MM/ so the files are grouped by month | Sep 06 09:44 |
| Techrights-sec | de-duplication tries to work on a global scale though | Sep 06 09:44 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | RANT: just been noticing lately that manyw www "sites" cannot even leave images along | Sep 06 09:50 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | they add tracking cruft to the end of the url of the image | Sep 06 09:50 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | the www is a lost cause as far as I'm concerned | Sep 06 09:50 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | not sure what comes after it exactly | Sep 06 09:50 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | but the www is a malicious spying operation that has some "value" | Sep 06 09:50 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | not even much of that anymore | Sep 06 09:50 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | businesses telling me to "do online" what could be done faster and bette rin person or over the phone is NOT progress | Sep 06 09:50 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | and they make long queue, robocalsl etc. to discourage using an actual person to get something done | Sep 06 09:50 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | or make the journey by foot longer | Sep 06 09:50 |
| Techrights-sec | ack | Sep 06 09:54 |
| Techrights-sec | just about set for a new test, adding Image::Magick support now; | Sep 06 09:54 |
| Techrights-sec | That coverse GIF, JPEG, PNG, and WebP. Have to check about SVG. that | Sep 06 09:54 |
| Techrights-sec | will need a little different internal workflow, maybe. | Sep 06 09:54 |
| Techrights-sec | New *testing* version now | Sep 06 09:54 |
| Techrights-sec | Thinking about SVG support and how to do that, atm | Sep 06 09:57 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | with scg there is no need to resize anything | Sep 06 09:58 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | just copy the file, toss it in the path | Sep 06 09:58 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | the scaling is done not in raster space anyway | Sep 06 09:58 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | they're the simplest case to deal with usuallu | Sep 06 09:58 |
| Techrights-sec | Updated *testing* script available. If this one works, then it should go into | Sep 06 10:07 |
| Techrights-sec | Git at this point. | Sep 06 10:07 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | using it with success, see past 2-3 pages | Sep 06 10:07 |
| Techrights-sec | checking | Sep 06 10:07 |
| Techrights-sec | Nice | Sep 06 10:17 |
| Techrights-sec | Right but the work flow is built around resizing in that a thumbnail is | Sep 06 10:18 |
| Techrights-sec | expected. It looks like the uncomplicated way around that is to use | Sep 06 10:18 |
| Techrights-sec | a symlink or a hard link for that. Trying hard link first. | Sep 06 10:18 |

| schestowitz-TR2 | I was expcitng to see names of peole | Sep 06 11:00 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | rather than a wall of text for polciies | Sep 06 11:00 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | my general view on wikipedia since after I firts found out abotut it in 2003 | Sep 06 11:00 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | is, this thing is not really for editiing | Sep 06 11:00 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | it's just a circle or friend, some connected to the monarch,m | Sep 06 11:00 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | who do their own thing with their page | Sep 06 11:00 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | ssome of these pages aren't bad, like pages that explain somke scientific things or places (biuas in thew latter) | Sep 06 11:00 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | so I basically though, write your own thing, maybe habitually link to that thing, but eneve participate unless you just correct a typo | Sep 06 11:00 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | it's not YOUR thing, youare just a temporary tenant and unless it is your job,n your work will go down the drain | Sep 06 11:00 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | some people edit and then make their own copy, which they themselves host | Sep 06 11:00 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | I think that's a compeomised | Sep 06 11:00 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | ut many articles are ads, | Sep 06 11:00 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | cpocock showed that FSFE made an ad there | Sep 06 11:00 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | and some fsfe-affiliated people tool | Sep 06 11:00 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | it's not too hard | Sep 06 11:00 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | *too | Sep 06 11:00 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | you can get a frien d to writeanbout you tyo dodge the rules about compsoiign text about onesself | Sep 06 11:00 |

| schestowitz-TR2 | sorry for ytypos | Sep 06 11:05 |

| schestowitz-TR2 | I cannot even reall the context anymore, it must have been weeks ago | Sep 06 11:15 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | not nice to hear | Sep 06 11:24 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | nor is it nice for me to say | Sep 06 11:24 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | but glyn became too irreelevant in recent years | Sep 06 11:24 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | I think partly because of bad choices | Sep 06 11:24 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | for one thing, too much stuff in wteets | Sep 06 11:24 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | he did not bother putting these things in "proper" writing | Sep 06 11:24 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | either in open dot dot... or whatever it was called | Sep 06 11:24 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | then, duting lockdowns, he fetched old notebooks of his from journeys decades ago | Sep 06 11:24 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | and typed up essasys or poems he had written ages ago | Sep 06 11:24 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | and that new blog had no real gfollowers | Sep 06 11:24 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | but that stage twitter was already dominated by boyts | Sep 06 11:24 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | to give the merel illusion it was still a livewly platform | Sep 06 11:24 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | in the past twitter disseminated visibility to all | Sep 06 11:24 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | base don who they followed | Sep 06 11:24 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | around the trumpo era tey started funnelling all the users to "engagement" BS | Sep 06 11:24 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | whgich meant that the ordinary old users (the originals) were left down some pit or alley | Sep 06 11:24 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | among them were glyn and me | Sep 06 11:24 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | you could see how within 5 years the "likes" etc. went down | Sep 06 11:24 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | even view counts | Sep 06 11:24 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | no matter what "followers" count said | Sep 06 11:24 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | he alkso told me joindiasdpora dying was no major deal as he was posting elsewhere too | Sep 06 11:24 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | but mastodon too is dying | Sep 06 11:24 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | his googleplus account turned outn to be a wast eof productivity | Sep 06 11:24 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | and meanwhile Linux Journal perished | Sep 06 11:24 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | unlike his Gulag-hosted blogspot blog | Sep 06 11:24 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | either way, one thing I saw the other day (2 days ago I( think) was Lukew Smith, who keeps getting throwqn into the Google "gulag" | Sep 06 11:24 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | (he too calls it that), saying something to the effect of, steop being werb peasnats, get your own site | Sep 06 11:24 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | many youtube users learned it the ohard way | Sep 06 11:24 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | they put all their eggs in baskets they do not even hold | Sep 06 11:24 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | it's easyfor regime to "switch off" people this way | Sep 06 11:24 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | later came new terms like shadowbanning, "deploatmrning", "cancel culture", "snowflake"... | Sep 06 11:24 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | --- | Sep 06 11:27 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | worst thing is, twitter "Exclusives" | Sep 06 11:27 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | it's what I call ti when a journalist has some explosive material3~ | Sep 06 11:27 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | like wikileaks did | Sep 06 11:27 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | and instead of putting that on the site and building a readership/audience there | Sep 06 11:27 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | they just uploaded to twitter | Sep 06 11:27 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | even if later they add it to their own platform | Sep 06 11:27 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | people won't know | Sep 06 11:27 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | because first avenue does matter | Sep 06 11:27 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | and later on, in various way, twitter put the pillow over the face of Assange, Wikileaks, and many accounts sympathetics to those two | Sep 06 11:27 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | IU can give many examples, esp. those I recall very well | Sep 06 11:27 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | twitter hide thwm and sometimes locked them, e=i.e. nobody can log into them anymore | Sep 06 11:27 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | in effect, archives, "thanks for all the fish" | Sep 06 11:27 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | --- | Sep 06 11:34 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | here's another thought while I'm at it | Sep 06 11:34 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | pardom typos | Sep 06 11:34 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | the way I view twitter in 2022 is very didfferent | Sep 06 11:34 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | not because of a "Waking up" or eureka moment | Sep 06 11:34 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | becaus twitter ITSELF changed | Sep 06 11:34 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | not sure if you saw the screenshot I posted last night of Jake | Sep 06 11:34 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | if not, have a look | Sep 06 11:34 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | even jake regrets what twitter became | Sep 06 11:34 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | it's a shithole | Sep 06 11:34 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | and I now treat it as a shithole | Sep 06 11:34 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | for corporate trolls, brigades, gossip | Sep 06 11:34 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | and don't wish to legitimiise it | Sep 06 11:34 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | not to take kreline (kremlin like) | Sep 06 11:35 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | but when the war rboke out ukraine narrative was spreading like fire in social control media | Sep 06 11:35 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | to the point where inciting to kill peoiple was seen as OK | Sep 06 11:35 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | when agent smith wrote a decent post in the PCLOS magazine people were infuriated | Sep 06 11:35 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | what by? | Sep 06 11:35 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | by him saying that calling tfor death of Russians is noit cool | Sep 06 11:35 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | this is like the FB experiment about manipulation of emopoi being put to prcitice | Sep 06 11:35 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | twitter would certainly ban and cull farms of accounts from "ofrign" nations | Sep 06 11:35 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | but is US Navy/Army/AFRICOM/ | Sep 06 11:35 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | was to use a farm of 100,000 accounts | Sep 06 11:35 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | twitter would likely look the other way | Sep 06 11:35 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | they newver ever banned such a farm that was found to be operatede by uk and us govs | Sep 06 11:35 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | so you generally know where it leads to | Sep 06 11:35 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | you might even claim that china, russia etc. are just tryint to counter or balance out a recognised threat | Sep 06 11:35 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | but they are not in control of these platforms | Sep 06 11:35 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | ksa bought some influence with the oil cmoney | Sep 06 11:35 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | now doeing other stuff like sportwashing as well | Sep 06 11:35 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | so they can carry on butchering their own people while showinfg double standatd | Sep 06 11:35 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | of course the corporations are ANOTHER realm | Sep 06 11:35 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | the above speaks ONLY of govs. | Sep 06 11:35 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | not private interests, which only partly overlap the naitonal | Sep 06 11:35 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | on the www, assuming no dns culls (clownflare does not count; you never truly depend on it), | Sep 06 11:35 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | all domains should be run unabated | Sep 06 11:35 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | obut of course the politiciasns then bring up CP and terrorism and nazis and stuff | Sep 06 11:35 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | to put an end to DNS neutrality | Sep 06 11:35 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | so all in all, same all shit as newspaper era | Sep 06 11:35 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | excwept the web is intl in scope so one nation can censor the "paper" of the other country | Sep 06 11:35 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | or enticing its poipulation for manipulation and incitement from afar | Sep 06 11:35 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | --- | Sep 06 11:41 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | the www is not free | Sep 06 11:41 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | it's not oipen | Sep 06 11:41 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | it's not truly standard based anymore | Sep 06 11:41 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | some are too complictaed | Sep 06 11:41 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | now we also have ad hoc | Sep 06 11:41 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | webp, spdy etc. | Sep 06 11:42 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | so in effect it's about threat mitigatiuon ina messy platform | Sep 06 11:42 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | like, take TM for examplke | Sep 06 11:42 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | we need toms www presence | Sep 06 11:42 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | and rss | Sep 06 11:42 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | but we juggle weird and competitiong specs | Sep 06 11:42 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | rss, atom (which version?), and then some extended variants of them | Sep 06 11:42 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | some clients do not support them | Sep 06 11:42 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | today in irc a new person came to ask about rss changes | Sep 06 11:42 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | I gave an answewr | Sep 06 11:42 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | then there's the acms person who had certain ideas in mind for tuxmachines feeds | Sep 06 11:42 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | like all links in one <entry> | Sep 06 11:42 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | (rss and atom do not use the same scema either!) | Sep 06 11:42 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | and full text inside the items | Sep 06 11:42 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | re censorship | Sep 06 11:42 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | you have CAs | Sep 06 11:42 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | sudcumb to that | Sep 06 11:42 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | and they can revoke certs | Sep 06 11:42 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | do not surrender, then the browser get all nasty | Sep 06 11:42 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | use web standards, then you have limitations | Sep 06 11:42 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | like "can't do this", "can do that" | Sep 06 11:42 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | the other day in the opml you gave me some blog talked about whgether people who craft web page still bother checking for validation at all | Sep 06 11:42 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | another spoke about writing one's pages by hand (the old way, with text editor) | Sep 06 11:42 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | turns out not many validate anymore | Sep 06 11:42 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | and when it comes to accessibility it is even worse | Sep 06 11:42 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | there are unofficial validators for that too | Sep 06 11:42 |
| Techrights-sec | FF is loaded with dodgy CAs, any one of which can authorize a MitM attack. | Sep 06 11:42 |
| Techrights-sec | With Javascript payloads, that becomes a very serious matter. | Sep 06 11:42 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | like ones that check colour contrasts for colour-blind people | Sep 06 11:42 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | --- | Sep 06 11:44 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | some total bafoon from the corpoorate troll's twitter thread equated people who speak about mitm in CAs with antivaxxers | Sep 06 11:45 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | the extenbt to which labels get misused | Sep 06 11:45 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | and all clownflare staff seemed to have blocked me at one point | Sep 06 11:45 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | not because I said anything to them | Sep 06 11:45 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | but because I wrote some facts about their em,ployers like 8 years ago | Sep 06 11:45 |
| Techrights-sec | log4j has been milked not just in the press but politically. m$ lobbyists | Sep 06 11:45 |
| Techrights-sec | have used that to gain access to far more politicians than most would suspect | Sep 06 11:45 |

| schestowitz | Contest lack of rewards: Request for Review -> LATEST DEADLINE 26 OCTOBER 2022 | Sep 06 13:40 |
| schestowitz | Dear colleagues, | Sep 06 13:40 |
| schestowitz | As every year since the introduction of the New Career System in 2015, only part of staff eligible to receive a pensionable salary progression in the form of a step has been rewarded accordingly. Similarly, only part of staff has received a reward in the form of a non-pensionable bonus. | Sep 06 13:40 |
| schestowitz | Colleagues who wish to contest a lack of reward can file a Request for Review (RfR) pursuant to Article 109 ServRegs within 3 months from the explicit or implicit communication of a decision which affects you negatively, i.e., in the case of the reward exercise a decision that you would not receive a reward. | Sep 06 13:40 |
| schestowitz | An explicit communication is a documented, written communication saying that you would not get a reward, for example an email from your line manager. | Sep 06 13:40 |
| schestowitz | An implicit communication is the realisation that you did not get a reward by looking at your pay slip of July 2022. | Sep 06 13:40 |
| schestowitz | For most staff, the deadline to file a Request for Review is the 26 October 2022. Beware of the deadline applicable to you! | Sep 06 13:40 |
| schestowitz | At this stage, we suggest not to argue at length why you should have had a reward, especially if you do not have a written statement of the motivations for not having received one. | Sep 06 13:40 |
| schestowitz | You are entitled to ask for a written explanation, and we propose this to be the main point of the RfR. In the case the RfR is rejected you can bring your arguments forward in the next stage of the litigation path, i.e., when filing an internal appeal. | Sep 06 13:40 |

| schestowitz-TR2 | until they run out of users | Sep 06 14:02 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | then they need to think of another approach | Sep 06 14:02 |

| schestowitz-TR2 | the WWW is a fucking JOKE! | Sep 06 14:24 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | I have have JS turned out and it uses Blink | Sep 06 14:24 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | sooner or later I might just textify everything and if it does not work, then so long | Sep 06 14:24 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | I shouldn't have to fire up a 200MB browser to read a headline | Sep 06 14:24 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | or a few paragraphs of text with not even hyperlink in them | Sep 06 14:25 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | ------ | Sep 06 14:44 |

| schestowitz-TR2 | the link itself is useless barcode shit | Sep 06 14:44 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | and once you get the fuicking page to fucking do something | Sep 06 14:44 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | you get a popup instead of an actual page | Sep 06 14:44 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | by that stage they already do a lot of spying, you opened 3 bloated browsers | Sep 06 14:44 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | and the reporting leaves much to be desired | Sep 06 14:44 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | later they wonder why "the media" perishes | Sep 06 14:44 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | the news is very slow today | Sep 06 14:44 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | so slow that I started opening all those MSM feeds you sent by OPML | Sep 06 14:44 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | big mistake! More noise than signal, even when filtered on some topic like "suerveillance" | Sep 06 14:44 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | it's like reading oligarchs' PR department | Sep 06 14:44 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | and does not resemble reality | Sep 06 14:44 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | --- | Sep 06 14:49 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | won't do that again | Sep 06 14:49 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | I might filter on words like "bsd", "linux", and "raspb" | Sep 06 14:49 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | but nothing political in nature | Sep 06 14:49 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | this is insane BS, with the few exception here and there | Sep 06 14:49 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | gulag noise gave rise that that "gearrise" BS | Sep 06 14:49 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | which I think is plagiarised BS with bot | Sep 06 14:49 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | at least gulag did muzzle some of the old spam sites | Sep 06 14:49 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | but I only see once a day what comes from "linux" | Sep 06 14:49 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | for the sole purpose of seeing if there's another rss feed I need adding for another section in some site which | Sep 06 14:49 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | habitually covers a relevant topic | Sep 06 14:49 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | the www has over 100 million domain, but if you search "linux" in gulag noise you will find that 80%+ of the results | Sep 06 14:49 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | are from about half a dozen domains | Sep 06 14:49 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | shit like phoronix (barely original, marketing brochures presented as 'articles') | Sep 06 14:49 |

| schestowitz-TR2 | *wrapper | Sep 06 15:08 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | would help by removing everything after "?" in the first argument | Sep 06 15:08 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | I'd say nearly 30% of all image URLs have trailing cruft | Sep 06 15:08 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | even if I add '' | Sep 06 15:08 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | it'll result in an ugly filename that has question marks in it | Sep 06 15:08 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | and does not end with the file extension | Sep 06 15:08 |
| Techrights-sec | nice | Sep 06 15:09 |
| Techrights-sec | ok | Sep 06 15:09 |
| Techrights-sec | I think so. Most material to the right of the question mark is tracking cruft | Sep 06 15:09 |
| Techrights-sec | The filename is made without the trailing cruft, if it is working correctly. | Sep 06 15:09 |
| Techrights-sec | If not, then the script needs modification. | Sep 06 15:09 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | I've not tried | Sep 06 15:10 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | I am already into that habit of removing it manually | Sep 06 15:10 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | but, if not, zsh itself is complaining, as I don't include quotes | Sep 06 15:10 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | OSI pissing me off again, not sure how to effectively respond without linking | Sep 06 15:10 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | those are corrupted orgs and it's very easy to see what agenda and narrative they push (and who for) | Sep 06 15:10 |
| Techrights-sec | I should check if one can also point to an image already on TM by its TM URL | Sep 06 15:11 |
| Techrights-sec | and let the de-duplication part do its work. | Sep 06 15:11 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | wishlist: after a year add search-image [arg] | Sep 06 15:13 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | pl/sh | Sep 06 15:13 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | you enter a string like Kroah | Sep 06 15:13 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | it turns it into case-neutral/insensitive string | Sep 06 15:13 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | find | grep [search_term] | Sep 06 15:13 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | and returns potential completition | Sep 06 15:13 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | with the image | Sep 06 15:13 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | e.g. search-image torvalds | Sep 06 15:13 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | returns 6 possible html portions to choose from | Sep 06 15:13 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | e.g. when there is a new release of RC | Sep 06 15:13 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | reuse of existing images would save disk space | Sep 06 15:13 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | (I already did this manually a few times under Features) | Sep 06 15:13 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | but it takes more steps | Sep 06 15:13 |
| Techrights-sec | yep., it works | Sep 06 15:15 |
| Techrights-sec | Just put in the TM address for the image and it will get a link pointing to | Sep 06 15:15 |
| Techrights-sec | the single image. No need to re-download and waste space as well. | Sep 06 15:15 |
| Techrights-sec | e.g. | Sep 06 15:15 |
| Techrights-sec | tm-scale-and-process-image.pl https://news.tuxmachines.org/i/2022/09/Topton-2-Bay-NAS-N1-720x680.jpg | Sep 06 15:15 |
| Techrights-sec | The -v option will inform you if it was a duplicate or not and then show | Sep 06 15:23 |
| Techrights-sec | the link markup. | Sep 06 15:23 |
| Techrights-sec | The string search can only deal with the file name at the moment, so if the | Sep 06 15:23 |
| Techrights-sec | file name is not informative, then the search results are no good or else | Sep 06 15:23 |
| Techrights-sec | very incomplete. I'm not sure there is a good return on effort for adding | Sep 06 15:23 |
| Techrights-sec | embedded metadata for any of the images, but it is still an option regardless. | Sep 06 15:23 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | I suppose my suggestion was too simple to be worth making a shell script for as find | grep likelt cuts it | Sep 06 15:24 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | then paste result in | Sep 06 15:24 |
| Techrights-sec | There's no feasible way for grep to work. The file name is in the db however. | Sep 06 15:25 |
| Techrights-sec | I suppose the images could be scanned for EXIF data on the way in but relying | Sep 06 15:25 |
| Techrights-sec | on other people's metadata is a waste of effort and time. | Sep 06 15:25 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | sometimes the filenames say enough and if you have thousands of them, then there are some hits, never mind the many misses | Sep 06 15:26 |
| Techrights-sec | At the same time, it is almost certainly not worth the effort to "tag" all | Sep 06 15:27 |
| Techrights-sec | incoming images. Though it would be technically feasible to set up that | Sep 06 15:27 |
| Techrights-sec | possibility. | Sep 06 15:27 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | thinking a step ahead | Sep 06 15:29 |

| schestowitz-TR2 | backend scans for it | Sep 06 15:29 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | suggests possible images (after many images were added) | Sep 06 15:29 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | the issue here is fair use | Sep 06 15:29 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | it's ok to use an image from article you send traffic to | Sep 06 15:29 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | dodgy is you use image from one site to promote another | Sep 06 15:29 |

| schestowitz-TR2 | he'd show how Windows/Microsoft lost market share rapidly | Sep 06 16:35 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | I have seen nothing from him in years | Sep 06 16:35 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | at least we have the news covered .... by tweets about RMS signs on door | Sep 06 16:35 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | that aren't even his signs but pranks | Sep 06 16:35 |

| schestowitz-TR2 | how easy/hard would it be to make tghe rss feed 100 items long? | Sep 06 16:59 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | I'm asking because atm some days we have more than 50 update+new | Sep 06 16:59 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | and that can cause a situation of spillover | Sep 06 16:59 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | where the updated items don't fall off the list until the following day (midnight) | Sep 06 16:59 |
| Techrights-sec | :( | Sep 06 17:00 |
| Techrights-sec | easy but long | Sep 06 17:00 |
| Techrights-sec | IIRC the current is n items OR n days, which ever is the larger set | Sep 06 17:00 |
| Techrights-sec | Yes, checking the --help option and the source, if both -d and -n are specified | Sep 06 17:00 |
| Techrights-sec | the result is the union of the two sets. So if you have it set to 50 items | Sep 06 17:00 |
| Techrights-sec | and 1 day, then there will be at least 50 items in the feed, but more if the | Sep 06 17:00 |
| Techrights-sec | last day has more. | Sep 06 17:00 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | thanks, it's only a 'problem' for tuxurl-new.sh because it gets very different 50 each time the feed is regenerated | Sep 06 17:01 |

| Techrights-sec | Yes, lots of misdirection. It's the "Microsoft Effect", a variation of | Sep 06 17:28 |
| Techrights-sec | "Sour Grapes". The idea the microsofters wish to promote is the idea that | Sep 06 17:28 |
| Techrights-sec | since all computers have problems it is not worth even looking at other | Sep 06 17:28 |
| Techrights-sec | operating systems. Sort of a false equivalence. | Sep 06 17:28 |

| DaemonFC | schestowitz[TR2]: I talked to one of the SeaMonkey developers about the Fedora patches. | Sep 06 21:31 |
| DaemonFC | He told me that Fedora has not pursued getting them upstreamed or even notified SeaMonkey that they were patching it for Fedora. | Sep 06 21:31 |
| DaemonFC | But he's looking at merging _some_ of it as it pertains to better Web site compatibility. Mostly, this means the patch for better spoofing as Firefox. :P | Sep 06 21:32 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | hi DaemonFC | Sep 06 21:38 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | is fedora the one to target? | Sep 06 21:38 |
