schestowitz-TRI am loooking at the code atmDec 07 08:50
schestowitz-TRI sent you the gmi files, they seem sane to meDec 07 08:50
schestowitz-TRI think if I send those 4 additional files to the same dir, it can cause issues with ipfs workflowDec 07 08:50
schestowitz-TRso, I am thinkingDec 07 08:50
schestowitz-TRhow about writing those 4 gmi files directly to the gemini accountDec 07 08:50
schestowitz-TRand, if so,wqhat dir?Dec 07 08:50
schestowitz-TRI don't think we need gmi objects in ipfsDec 07 08:50
schestowitz-TRalso, this would leapfrog the need to hardlink or copy across files, or duplicate filesDec 07 08:50
schestowitz-TRproceeding Dec 07 09:13
schestowitz-TRcreated ~/gemini/irc-gmiDec 07 09:13
schestowitz-TRthis is where I will sed the gmi filesDec 07 09:13
schestowitz-TRI've also increased open file limit Dec 07 09:13
schestowitz-TRipfs is so weird that to add new objectsDec 07 09:13
schestowitz-TRit basically opens ALL the filesDec 07 09:13
schestowitz-TRwhich means 4000 items in ipfs would require keeping 4000 open file when running 'add'Dec 07 09:13
schestowitz-TRanyway, I will attempt, for the next night, to put gmi files in that new dirDec 07 09:13
schestowitz-TRnce it is accomodatyed we'll need to make an index of the files in itDec 07 09:13
schestowitz-TRwe can kleep in gemini both gmi and txt versionDec 07 09:13
schestowitz-TRso this basically means on http we have html and text. on gemini gmi and txtDec 07 09:18

schestowitz-TRtested file transmission, all seems fine, so now we have one daily stack for me to add to indexDec 07 10:01
schestowitz-TR1. I made a full copy of the pi's /home so in case of catastrophe reinstating the server is not unsurmountableDec 07 10:01
schestowitz-TR2. I am now tryint to make index for gmi alongside irc txt filesDec 07 10:01
schestowitz-TR3. when you are around, it is worth modifying irc tables perl/shell file to link to the gei version Dec 07 10:01
schestowitz-TRalongside the text version in wordpress blog post. also, maybe add gemini link for daily bellutinDec 07 10:01

schestowitz-TRi think best to have 4+4 links, 2 section, for text and for gemtextDec 07 14:15
schestowitz-TRthe bulletin link at the bottom also has a gemini equivalent that we can add. many "geminites" already read techrights, so this helpsDec 07 14:16

schestowitz-TRon another topic, I minute ago I deleted rms rss feedDec 07 15:07
schestowitz-TRfor the same reason I did it a decade agoDec 07 15:07
schestowitz-TRabout 90% of today's links there are bill'a guardianDec 07 15:07
schestowitz-TRso it's not good RoIDec 07 15:07
Techrights-secIt's too bad that RMS does not see the layers in the sourcesDec 07 15:09
Techrights-secToo much intrigue there for most people.Dec 07 15:09
Techrights-secackDec 07 15:09
schestowitz-TRIf I wanted to read bill, I'd sign up for their rss feed, but that gives them trafficDec 07 15:09
schestowitz-TRgemini at least gives some inirection so I can glance at headlinesDec 07 15:09
schestowitz-TRbtw, the site I use for that has a very limited selection of non-tech sites syndicated. for that, it's nypost (murdoch) or bill. wish it had reuters or something...Dec 07 15:10
*tech_exorcist (~tech_exorcist@upfyme5tts22e.irc) has joined #boycottnovellDec 07 15:18
Techrights-secMy RSS feed list has grown a lot but it is mostly low-yield stuff.Dec 07 15:21
Techrights-secEven the best blogs post infrequently.   But quality over quantity is importantDec 07 15:21
schestowitz-TRwhen there is no flow or low flow of information it gets harder to write and you end up clickbaiting like micro larabelDec 07 15:22
Techrights-secIt'd be an interesting academic research project to track all those that Dec 07 15:26
Techrights-secgot bought out and how/why it happened.  But much is probably under NDADec 07 15:26
Techrights-secand on top of that it must hurt too much to speak of.Dec 07 15:26
Techrights-sec... at least if they have any soul left Dec 07 15:26
schestowitz-TRon the upside, it leaves us with less competition. but back in the days there was TONS of stuff I could write about, now I rely in direct sources for EPO, GitHub etc. because there is barely any reporting at allDec 07 15:27
Techrights-secyes, TR stands out among fewer sitesDec 07 15:34
schestowitz-TRTM turns 17.5 at midnightDec 07 15:36
schestowitz-TRSusan still in touch, still watching, still healthy too (afaik)Dec 07 15:36
Techrights-secExcellentDec 07 15:36
Techrights-secThe content there is posted before anywhere else as far as I knowDec 07 15:36
schestowitz-TRyes, speed is VERY importanyDec 07 15:36
Techrights-secExcellent.  Maybe it 2.5 years there will be a small partyDec 07 15:38
Techrights-secat least onlineDec 07 15:38
schestowitz-TRyou know, in theory you can convert the TM RSS feed into a dynamic gmi page, which MIGHT be of use to some peopleDec 07 15:38
Techrights-secCan you elaborate?Dec 07 15:50

Techrights-sec... produced by the cron scriptDec 07 15:50
Techrights-secunfortunately because of the directoru change Gemini vs WWW, a small kludgeDec 07 15:50
Techrights-secis involvedDec 07 15:50
schestowitz1. regarding tuxmachines in gemini, not worth its own capsule, but its updates are rapid and it can have a little section akin to a feed in gemini.tr, I think. Assuming there's "demand" for that...Dec 07 15:50
schestowitz2. looking into the changes right nowDec 07 15:50
Techrights-secIt'd be a lot of trouble in the script and would be double so brittle as now.Dec 07 15:55
schestowitz-TRcan we have both the txt and gmi links? maybe not worth it? it's already there anyway, same for txt over gemini:Dec 07 15:55
schestowitz-TR// for bulletinDec 07 15:55
schestowitz-TRah OK, so never mind, leave it just as gmiDec 07 15:55
schestowitz-TRthegemini pages contain the txt in the indexes anywayDec 07 15:55
Techrights-secthanksDec 07 15:55
schestowitz-TRsnide remark against LF in Phoronix today, the last paragraph. I hope people wake up and see who they front for before it's too late. The IRC log past midnight (today) contains discussion about the contents of this LF report. Lots of Microsoft crap, almost infuriatingDec 07 15:58
schestowitz-TRthe name is the problem. People are led to believe PF is NOT what it actually isDec 07 16:00
schestowitz-TRit barely even employs any kernel hackers!!!Dec 07 16:00
Techrights-secMost, too many, project wishful thinking onto the LF and have false expectationsDec 07 16:02
Techrights-secbased on the name.  It is not a foundation to advance Linux it is a foundationDec 07 16:02
Techrights-secto advance its members' interests within Linux.  That is the inverse of whatDec 07 16:02
Techrights-secpeople generally expect.Dec 07 16:02
Techrights-secpercentage-wise a negligble amount of the money goes to technology skillsDec 07 16:02

schestowitz-TRI see in my inbox a reply to my formal complaintDec 07 16:12
schestowitz-TRI have not opend it yetDec 07 16:12
schestowitz-TRas I assume it would be time-consuming to deal with, maybe another blog postDec 07 16:12
schestowitz-TRbut I know for sure thousands of people suffered like me, 10-20k on the queue the lady saidDec 07 16:12
Techrights-secclass-action lawsuits are about the only way to deal with misbehaving privateDec 07 16:12
Techrights-seccompanies, lead plaintiff (if victorious) gets a lot but it is also a time sinkDec 07 16:12
schestowitz-TRbtw, gulagtroll deadline has passed, and no communication sinceDec 07 16:13
Techrights-secshould gemtext irc logs repeat the date at the beginning of every new hourDec 07 16:15
Techrights-secor just once at the beginning of each new day?  I'm thinking the latterDec 07 16:15
Techrights-secmight be better for screen readers and such.Dec 07 16:15
Techrights-secThe extranous punctuation / pseudo markup can be removed from the gemtextDec 07 16:15

Techrights-secis quite redundant and would be annoying to listen to especially overDec 07 16:20
Techrights-seccalm periods in the logDec 07 16:20
schestowitz-TRno, this is not an issue because for idle hours it gets omitted anywayDec 07 16:21
schestowitz-TRit helps me and others too I assume get a sense of TIME. Like one long block between the bookmarks being a conversation that is active and fastDec 07 16:22
schestowitz-TRfor clarity, for 'newbs', it might help to include the hour first, e.g. 5:00 dateDec 07 16:23
Techrights-secok I'll put them backDec 07 16:24
Techrights-secanother change pushed to GitDec 07 16:59
schestowitz-TRI very much like the verbal descriptions. FWIW, yesterday's logs were polluted but lots of nasty stuff from ryan, but after midnight (IIRC) he got much more constructive and on-topicDec 07 16:59
schestowitz-TRwho is this josh duggar dude?Dec 07 17:04
schestowitz-TRis he important?Dec 07 17:04
schestowitz-TRwhen searching for "Linux" news he keeps showing up like a Han Reiser Dec 07 17:04
schestowitz-TRconnecting "Linux" to psedophiliaDec 07 17:04
schestowitz-TRI never heard of this guyDec 07 17:04
schestowitz-TRAnd I am suspicious about the media's motivations unlkess he is well knownDec 07 17:04
Techrights-secno idea, never heard of himDec 07 17:11
Techrights-secthe media (via the new fake local news sites) does appear to be up to somethingDec 07 17:11
Techrights-secmalicious, what it is would be hard to guess but maybe lining up their shotsDec 07 17:11
Techrights-secto smear FOSS or non-Windows systems in generalDec 07 17:11
schestowitz-TRseems like a potential smear, wherein freesw users are "pedophiles"... Cimpanu at ZDNet tried to connect Linux/Gentoo to ISIS, and the Microsofters cheered along back thenDec 07 17:12
Techrights-secyes something like that Dec 07 17:12
schestowitz-TRI'll keep the lid (no links) unless it escalates. "Linux partition" associated with "child abuse"...Dec 07 17:13
Techrights-secyes, "they" will say anything to disparage GNU.LinuxDec 07 17:14
schestowitz-TRthere is NO way for me to cover this WITHOUT making the harm even worseDec 07 17:20

Techrights-secxhtml-log-to-text.pl now polishedDec 07 17:29
schestowitz-TRyes, I found that comma a tad misleading before and without some fancy unicode that harms the blind I can't think of something more suitable than a tab or twoDec 07 17:34
