> Thanks for the response regarding Techrights' use of self-signed security certificates. I feel pretty much the way Roy does about security certificates, but perhaps I worry more about their use as a tool in the hands of governments to end free speech than I worry about their use in furthering the plans of monopolies. I see monopolies themselves as tools of government. Here in the US, our government seems to love them. Controlling one giant

<p>The Linux ecosystem in many ways found much of its momentum via hardware, rather than software. So it makes sense that there have been some fascinating efforts to reinvent the Linux ecosystem around hardware. The Raspberry Pi has of course built lasting excitement around computer hardware in contexts that fit neatly into the internet of things. But as desktop Linux distros have at times felt like wheel-spinning exercises (

schestowitz

just ask Linus Tech Tips, and shout-out to Jason Evangelho), it feels like Linux hardware targeted at consumers is likely to push it over the edge at some point. I’ve already covered two of those efforts in the relatively recent past—the PineBook Pro and the PinePhone, both made by Pine64—but the JingPad represents something different: an attempt to make a piece of hardware that supports Linux from the ground up … that a non-Linux user

<p>This also presents us a solution to the interruptions problem: just don’t answer right away, and don’t expect others to. I don’t have desktop or mobile notifications for IRC. I only use it when I’m sitting down at my computer, and I “pull” notifications from it instead of having it “push” them to me — that is, I glance at the client every now and then. If I’m in the middle of something, I don’t read it.</

<p>With these considerations in mind, IRC has been an extraordinarily useful tool for me, and maybe it can be for you, too. I’m not troubled by interruptions to my workflow.

<p>Distros are feeling especially frustrated right now, but I don’t think we’re alone. Everyone is frustrated with Python packaging.

<p>Material excess is a political issue. I see modern technology as a symbol and vehicle of affluent-poverty and class division. A few authors have courageously faced this difficult subject, among them Owen Jones in Chavs Jones11 and David Graeber in Bullshit Jobs Graeber18.</p>

schestowitz

<p>In short, to render the modern productive class (caring and civic professions) harmless, their power under old-left nomenclature as "working-class" had to be destroyed. Their reinvention as "consumers" necessitated apparatus to warehouse and monitor them. Modern bread and circuses manifests as "techno bling" - cheap, attractive and addictive but ultimately detrimental technology like smartphones and social media. Though it

<p>Human psychology is a fascinating domain. Take me, for example. I don't like stupid things. And I don't like being told what to do.

<p>To give you a bit more context, by and large, this browser is not allowed to run on my Windows productivity hosts. The in-yer-face marketing approach (use, use, use, do it, do it, do it) employed by Microsoft persuaded me to implement a policy whereby Edge can't even start. Push, shove, action, reaction. However, that said, I am using Edge as my secondary browser on my Linux machines, and there, it works pretty well. I

<p>The modern computer store, as I’ve argued in the past, is a bit of a mess. It’s all about the hard sell (in a gigantic box) at the cost of any personality whatsoever.

I momentarily experiment with the pi running w//o network restrictions, as recrently it's almost

schestowitz-TR

impossible to fetch ipfs objects and I want to see the impact of turning the limits

schestowitz-TR

off

schestowitz-TR

I will put on tc-7 afterwar

Those steer the outgoing speed of IPFS

Dec 10 18:04

schestowitz-TR

there are two types of traffic: content and hash meta; I am guessing it's hard to know where our content is, as the hashes don't travel fully or widely enough

Dec 10 18:05

Techrights-sec

does the IPFS traffic have QoS settings? Those could be identified and

Dec 10 18:07

Techrights-sec

utilized.

Dec 10 18:07

schestowitz-TR

yes, I already lowered the swarm size, but it's still very big

Dec 10 18:07

Techrights-sec

SSH traffic has QoS to differentiate bulk from interactive. Maybe

Dec 10 18:08

Techrights-sec

IPFS has similar flags at the TCP level.

I lost track of which version of tc script I was running before experimenting

Dec 10 19:31

schestowitz-TR

version 7, as in, still seems to allow a lot of upward traffic

Techrights-sec

the latest tc-shaper.sh in Git is probably the best bit see the class settings

Techrights-sec

above for ideas about modification

Techrights-sec

tc is poorly documented or else I am not finding what is needed to know about

Techrights-sec

QoS

schestowitz-TR

I'll grab the one from git

schestowitz-TR

it's the same as v7

Dec 10 19:52

schestowitz-TR

I wonder if I ran that version before further changes were made to it

Dec 10 19:52

schestowitz-TR

now I try it again. it's definitely not what I was running before, it maxes up the upload capacity.

Dec 10 19:54

schestowitz-TR

at the time I did not make a copy of the file but just ran it from your homedir directly. it handicapped upload speeds, also for ssh... and that's why gemini became slow for large pages

Dec 10 19:58

Techrights-sec

I'll put the one from Git there. Just a minute...

Dec 10 19:59

schestowitz-TR

I think it is the same as version 7, but when I ran it I suppose it was before further changes were made to that file

minor tweaks in ~/bin/tc-shaper.sh

Techrights-sec

I'm trying to keep the latest version in Git only

schestowitz-TR

it seems much better now

Dec 10 20:07

schestowitz-TR

my findings can at least provide later tips on ipfs, irc, gemini etc.

Dec 10 20:07

schestowitz-TR

home hosting has itsm limits

Dec 10 20:07

schestowitz-TR

it's still maxing up upload capacity at times

Dec 10 20:11

schestowitz-TR

I wish I had made a local copy of the file when I loaded it about 10 days ago

Dec 10 20:11

schestowitz-TR

then again, prior settings (dec 1-10) has very slow ssh speed, gemini slowness for large page, and maybe further issues serving ipfs contents

Dec 10 20:12

Techrights-sec

What kind of traffic control is available on the router itself? There should

Techrights-sec

be some useful rate limiting there if it is Linux-based.

Techrights-sec

SSH connections have been slow but once connected, it's fine from this end.

Techrights-sec

The slow connections might be file system related. IPFS puts a lot of strain

Techrights-sec

on the microSD card and that is not fast at all.

schestowitz-TR

I don't think the router has throttling controls
