schestowitz> our stances on side-causes are similar, but also different. the important thing (despite all oliva has tried to pretend im saying) is that free software remain the top priority. they cant let sjws or vegans (or for osi, corporations!) take over and run things their way. thats they mistake everybody makes.Oct 07 03:51

schestowitzThat's the thing...Oct 07 06:41
schestowitzWhen I first saw that the dump size on TR had gotten much smaller I checked TM under /root/ and the latest dump there too seemed rather small. The reboot was 3 days ago, so that's likely unrelated.Oct 07 06:41

schestowitzyes, I hope it finds an issue and corrects it. That would at least explain why, without downtime being a culprit, there's this rather bizarre issue with dumps. While dumping from the command line I get no warnings/errors, it just goes on and on... to nearly 10GB and beyond. It should be around 1.2 GB and then stop there. Raw logs, if headed and tailed, can help us verify integrity.Oct 07 06:58

schestowitzSo assuming we both compress with the same parameters, it grew 10MB in one day. Might this serve as proof that a lot of drupal cache was flushed and it's now building it back up (from 271MB to 282MB in one day)? If so, we might want to check every day to ensure it still grows and reaches levels similar to the old levels, i.e. 320MB or beyond.Oct 07 07:11

schestowitzand monopoly. The hypocrisy charge is almost impossible to avoid because of monopolies, and it’s a really evil wedge. People forced to use non free software have even more reasons to object to it. The movement dies if the victims don’t complain and clearly teach people why non free software is wrong. Software owners try to pit the users against the FSF by spinning user victimization as some kind of user sin. No one should fall for Oct 07 19:46

schestowitzThanks, Sebversive. I got a chance to watch that last weekend. Sullivan covers all of the points I thought of and some more I had not thought of.
