schestowitz# Update (2021-04-07)Nov 08 11:10
schestowitzTechrights has corrected the issue here. Thank you to Roy Schestowitz. The considerations still apply to other capsules, of course.Nov 08 11:10
Techrights-secYep, but the abuse of Unicode persists elsewhere mostly at other sitesNov 08 11:11

schestowitz-TRI fixed a little typo in gemini/gitNov 08 13:18
schestowitz-TRmaybe we need to write a short manual sometime, for beginners, on how to replicate that gemini portal for an existing git repo. git is simple enough that it can attract people to gemini://Nov 08 13:19
Techrights-sec$ git pullNov 08 13:20
Techrights-secAlready up to date.Nov 08 13:20
Techrights-sec??Nov 08 13:20
schestowitz-TRthe change was to a 'static' index file. I noticed the typo while recording a video.Nov 08 13:21
Techrights-secShould the Gemini capsule be in its own Git repository?Nov 08 13:22
schestowitz-TRadding about 50k files and directories to git would likely not have much practical benefit, only performance tollNov 08 13:22
*u-amarsh04 (~amarsh04@9vib856syp9u2.irc) has joined #boycottnovellNov 08 13:23
Techrights-secaddinNov 08 13:24
Techrights-secIn it's own, separate repository it would be cloneable.Nov 08 13:24
Techrights-sec$ du -sh ~/gemini/Nov 08 13:24
Techrights-sec1.3G    /home/gemini/gemini/Nov 08 13:24
Techrights-secNot small.  :(Nov 08 13:24
schestowitz-TRat the moment git:// direct is access-restricted, but the next step might be figuring out how replicate the capsule across to other nodes (assuming we trust them)Nov 08 13:25
Techrights-secThe current one is tr-git or something.  A second one could be createdNov 08 13:27
Techrights-secfor Gemini, but the size is maybe an issue.  Nov 08 13:27
Techrights-sec----Nov 08 13:27
Techrights-secYes, but there can be multiple, unrelated Git repositories.  Nov 08 13:27
Techrights-secThe current one is tr-git or something.  A second one could be createdNov 08 13:27
Techrights-secfor Gemini, but the size is maybe an issue.  Nov 08 13:27
schestowitz-TRI think pocock wanted to do it that way in case I corrected typos from his posts and he wanted them upstream with diff, but atm pages are edited by CMS (WP and MediaWiki)Nov 08 13:28

Techrights-secThat first directory can be omitted.Nov 08 13:30
Techrights-secWith something as light as Gemini, a version control system like Git hasNov 08 13:30
Techrights-seca lot of advantage for syndication.  Nov 08 13:30
schestowitz-TRIIRC, that first dir is 100% softlinksNov 08 13:31
Techrights-secYes, they are hard links, or so it looks.Nov 08 13:38
Techrights-sec$ stat -c "%i %n" tr_text_version/irc-log-010121.html /home/glr/tr_text_version/irc-log-010121.htmlNov 08 13:38

Techrights-sec268438 /home/glr/tr_text_version/irc-log-010121.htmlNov 08 13:38
Techrights-secRandom sample of size one indicates that they are hard links.Nov 08 13:38
Techrights-secThey might be hard links but neither the directory itself nor its contentsNov 08 13:39
Techrights-secare soft links as far as I can tell.  Looking.Nov 08 13:39
Techrights-secThat directory does not have to be included in a new Git repository.  Nov 08 13:41
Techrights-secOr should it?Nov 08 13:41
schestowitz-TRhow often are any of these files likely to be changed? They are not wikis or documentationNov 08 13:42
Techrights-secTrue.  Probaby Rsync would be more appropriate for syndication?Nov 08 13:43
schestowitz-TRwiki and wordpress have version control alreradyNov 08 13:43
Techrights-secackNov 08 13:45
Techrights-secSo then Git would only risk confusion.  Best then that any syndication processNov 08 13:45
Techrights-secbe distribution only.  Rsync may be best/Nov 08 13:45

Techrights-secShould we put the GNU Manifesto or other similar documents in the Gemini mirror?Nov 08 17:11
schestowitz-TRthat would be good! It's nowhere else in geminispace... let's accommodate the space... I saw one capsule that archived many historic USENET postsNov 08 17:11
Techrights-secIt's currently hard to find except via Wikipedia.  Nov 08 17:20

Techrights-secgemini://gemini.techrights.org/archive/GNU_Manifesto.gmiNov 08 17:41
schestowitz-TRexcellent, I wonder how these articles would be best tied together, IIRC there are now 3 of them in total, not sure what taxonomy suits it best as it's sort of "imported"Nov 08 17:47
Techrights-secI'm not sure there will be enough to warrant a taxonomy.  At this point justNov 08 17:51
Techrights-secan unordered list linked somewhere direcly or indirectly from the main pageNov 08 17:51
Techrights-secwill do.  The GNU Manifesto is an important historical document, as isNov 08 17:51
Techrights-secthe Cathedral and the BazaarNov 08 17:51
Techrights-secThe Halloween I document is very important, also, because it outlinesNov 08 17:51
Techrights-secthe intentional steps M$ has taken to hold back, damage, and in some casesNov 08 17:51
Techrights-secdestroy the market.Nov 08 17:51

Techrights-secif M$ and BillG had never existed.Nov 08 17:51
Techrights-secThe Cathedral and the Bazaar mentions *BSD a lot.Nov 08 17:53
Techrights-secTR can't and oughtn't mirror too much, but some of these core documents areNov 08 17:53
Techrights-secimportant to have and to show to 'new' audiences which haven't seen them Nov 08 17:53

schestowitz-TRThanks, I have just done a video about it and I'll link to gemini://gemini.techrights.org/archive/archive.gmiNov 08 18:33
Techrights-secnpNov 08 18:34
schestowitz-TRif it's OK with you, we'll increase focus on gemini and video this coming year?Nov 08 18:35
Techrights-secThe 'favicon.txt' file ought to be excluded from:Nov 08 18:39
Techrights-secgemini://gemini.techrights.org/stats/Nov 08 18:39
schestowitz-TRthat would be easy to implement. the other day I wanted to add total number of UNIQUE requests, maybe one commit can get both things done?Nov 08 18:40
Techrights-secnpNov 08 18:41
Techrights-secSounds good, just be sure that the videos have enough accompanying textNov 08 18:41

Techrights-secThe 'favicon.txt' file ought to be excluded from:Nov 08 18:41
Techrights-secgemini://gemini.techrights.org/stats/Nov 08 18:41
schestowitz-TRI noticed that in the script for states there's some odd line at the very end, with ">>>>" or similarNov 08 18:42
Techrights-secI think so, AWK or Perl can do that.  I'd need read access to the logs for thatNov 08 18:42
Techrights-secNo idea, but it is in the non-functional archived code, after the 'exit'Nov 08 18:45
Techrights-secso it never runs.  Perhaps it was a paste mistake?Nov 08 18:45
schestowitz-TRDo you need access to the log for testing purposes or something else?Nov 08 18:47
Techrights-secTesting.    Nov 08 18:48
Techrights-secTesting.  I think temporary membership in the adm group ought to giveNov 08 18:49
Techrights-secread access to /var/log/syslog.1Nov 08 18:49
Techrights-secexport-stats.sh is the right script?Nov 08 18:50
schestowitz-TRyes, I noticed that you has it archive past date's stats, which we can make another page for (index), just like lupa archive stats at the last date of each monthNov 08 18:50
schestowitz-TROk.  export-stats.sh has been tweaked but needs testing, can you take a look?Nov 08 18:52
schestowitz-TRI've just run the export script and then updated the stats page too,were the changes 'deployed to the pi/live'?Nov 08 18:59
Techrights-secYes,Nov 08 19:12
schestowitz-TRI now see why I was confused. There was a copy of that file on the "pi" account, so I was running an old versionNov 08 19:13
schestowitz-TRfavicon still shows up and total unique is 100 less than the total sumNov 08 19:14

schestowitznow with 'git show' I can see with colours the diffs. The cruft is left behind in git history, which I guess is the right way to do is and the advantage of git/source version management (nothing gets lost completely). We really should make a backup of serveerwside git sometimes Nov 08 19:41

Techrights-secIt's good that there is a gemini link to the index of archived documents. Nov 08 20:15
Techrights-secMaybe it would have been good to include web links in the post directing peopleNov 08 20:15

schestowitz-TRat some stage we can create a PAGE, not POST, in WordPress, with an index of all those gemini pages, maybe keep those indices synched somehow...Nov 08 20:17
