| schestowitz[TR2] | one strange thing about barrier is, | Feb 12 02:46 |
|---|---|---|
| schestowitz[TR2] | and i very much suspect i had this issue before, | Feb 12 02:46 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | when several screens of different sizes are combined | Feb 12 02:46 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | it can get a little bit iffy when it comes to how cursor passes from | Feb 12 02:46 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | one machine/screen to another | Feb 12 02:46 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | not sure if synergy tackled this issue | Feb 12 02:46 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | one thing I disliked about synergy in my previous setup was, | Feb 12 02:46 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | the cross-pc clipboard did not work | Feb 12 02:46 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | i am going to spend some time now offloading processes and tasks to the pi400 | Feb 12 02:46 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | it has a 27 inch screen | Feb 12 02:46 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | it was our monitoring machine before | Feb 12 02:46 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | with several vpns running, i had to disable ipsec yesterday | Feb 12 02:46 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | first reboot in about 6 months | Feb 12 02:46 |

| schestowitz-TR2 | happy sunday, microsoft in a freefall, yet another round of layoffs, just 3 weeks after first! | Feb 12 03:47 |
| *techrights[sec] (~tokwe@rbnv8qskr8rgw.irc) has joined #boycottnovell | Feb 12 04:10 | |
| techrights[sec] | Yes, more layoffs, that is good but the "former" microsofters are now acting | Feb 12 04:10 |
| techrights[sec] | as metastases through industry as they begin to seek income elsewhere. | Feb 12 04:10 |
| techrights[sec] | Society needs to innoculate itself against their behavior and mode of operation. | Feb 12 04:10 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | for sure, that is a real problem | Feb 12 04:13 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | but it's also a tricky situation | Feb 12 04:13 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | would you rather they stay at Micrs | Feb 12 04:13 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | and Microsoft grows | Feb 12 04:13 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | this seems like the only alternative to that | Feb 12 04:13 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | and... as a bonus | Feb 12 04:13 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | it happens when few other places hire for IT | Feb 12 04:13 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | i did not check | Feb 12 04:13 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | rianne hasn't, either | Feb 12 04:13 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | she's not looking for a tech job atm | Feb 12 04:13 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | this means they might have to change craft | Feb 12 04:13 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | rianne looks for a low-demand job | Feb 12 04:13 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | just to pay our already-low bills, we need about1k/month | Feb 12 04:13 |
| techrights[sec] | Oh, the layoffs are a better that then current situation. The layoffs are not | Feb 12 04:15 |
| techrights[sec] | themselves without harmful side effects. | Feb 12 04:15 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | bonus: many companies now look for ways to cut spendigns rather than people/staff | Feb 12 04:15 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | some still value human beings | Feb 12 04:15 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | and are aware of needless spendings | Feb 12 04:15 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | choosing microsofters or choosing microsoft staff right now would not be priority | Feb 12 04:15 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | also, many 'freebies' from microsoft are culled | Feb 12 04:16 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | as they are seen as not sustainable | Feb 12 04:16 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | like "Teams" | Feb 12 04:16 |

| schestowitz-TR2 | lazyweb/tldr: any way to add translucency to raspiOS? | Feb 12 04:20 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | like, terminal windows? | Feb 12 04:20 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | i want to make it more pleasant to look at | Feb 12 04:20 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | the panels can be changed, but no compositor | Feb 12 04:20 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | there is front hinting | Feb 12 04:20 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | but no shadows in window bakcground | Feb 12 04:20 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | if I close a window is seems a bit animated | Feb 12 04:20 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | so there seems to be potential for effects | Feb 12 04:20 |
| techrights[sec] | URL? | Feb 12 04:21 |
| techrights[sec] | Wouldn't that be a setting in the Window Manager and if the current Window | Feb 12 04:21 |
| techrights[sec] | Manager does not have that option then a different one can be loaded in. | Feb 12 04:21 |
| techrights[sec] | If I understand correctly, a compositing Window Manager is necessary. | Feb 12 04:21 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | i will sniff around, but raspiOS is very limited in some sense | Feb 12 04:22 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | you can install loads of things (I have) | Feb 12 04:22 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | but the core system does not provide ample room for tinkering | Feb 12 04:22 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | i won't try apt-get install plasma/kde/plasmashell on such hardware | Feb 12 04:22 |
| techrights[sec] | Settings > Window Manager Tweaks > Compositor > Opacity | Feb 12 04:22 |
| techrights[sec] | I presume it is using OpenBox? | Feb 12 04:22 |
| techrights[sec] | Compiz, Xfwm, Mir? | Feb 12 04:24 |
| techrights[sec] | Compiz, Xfwm, Mir, Metisse? | Feb 12 04:28 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | oh, it does do shadows and transluency | Feb 12 04:33 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | let's try to install more advanced s/w.. | Feb 12 04:33 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | adding konsole and the whole lot | Feb 12 04:33 |
| *schestowitz-pi (~pi@rbnv8qskr8rgw.irc) has joined #boycottnovell | Feb 12 04:57 | |
| schestowitz-pi | i've managed to overcome the limitations | Feb 12 04:57 |
| schestowitz-pi | now some qt/kde software added | Feb 12 04:57 |
| schestowitz-pi | and it looks much better | Feb 12 04:57 |
| techrights[sec] | Excellent. Which WM is in use now? | Feb 12 04:58 |
| schestowitz-pi | raspi os debian 11 deriv is coming with barebones destko | Feb 12 04:59 |
| schestowitz-pi | i added some kde stuff on top of it | Feb 12 04:59 |
| schestowitz-pi | so it is snappy | Feb 12 04:59 |
| schestowitz-pi | the applications have all the advanced features, plus transluncency | Feb 12 04:59 |
| schestowitz-pi | no kwin | Feb 12 04:59 |
| techrights[sec] | Excellent. Which Window Manager is in use now? | Feb 12 05:00 |
| schestowitz-pi | i'm not sure tbh | Feb 12 05:14 |
| schestowitz-pi | could check in ps | Feb 12 05:14 |
| schestowitz-pi | we're leaving soon | Feb 12 05:14 |
| schestowitz-pi | the liquidators upon around 7am, some sooner | Feb 12 05:14 |
| schestowitz-pi | the good things vanish fast | Feb 12 05:14 |
| schestowitz-pi | bbl | Feb 12 06:12 |
| schestowitz-pi | happy about the microsoft news | Feb 12 06:12 |
| schestowitz-pi | we'll hopefully live to see who dies first: bill or microsoft | Feb 12 06:12 |

| schestowitz-pi | another good day today | Feb 12 09:34 |
| schestowitz-pi | 60 tubes of toothpaste, carpet for the office, 1.5 m long for 1 pound | Feb 12 09:34 |
| schestowitz-pi | new laundry rack 10 pds | Feb 12 09:34 |
| schestowitz-pi | pepsoden 25p a tube | Feb 12 09:34 |
| schestowitz-pi | i took some two weeks ago to test them, at 3 uses a day a tube lasts a wek | Feb 12 09:34 |
| schestowitz-pi | gonna test feeds in a bit | Feb 12 10:24 |
| schestowitz-pi | just got back | Feb 12 10:24 |
| schestowitz-pi | doing daily links first | Feb 12 10:24 |
| schestowitz-pi | then 6 things in todo | Feb 12 10:24 |
| schestowitz-pi | we've moved from foods to move homeware discounts | Feb 12 10:24 |
| schestowitz-pi | it takes some patience, but it always pays off | Feb 12 10:24 |
| *DaemonFC has quit (Quit: Leaving) | Feb 12 10:25 | |
| schestowitz-pi | in this case, it's stuff that cannot be sold in the high street | Feb 12 10:36 |
| schestowitz-pi | imperfections sometimes | Feb 12 10:36 |
| schestowitz-pi | the laundry racked, for instance, lacks the tiny tiny plastic foot on one side | Feb 12 10:36 |
| schestowitz-pi | so we took one from another, added it in, though the main store cannot do this | Feb 12 10:36 |
| schestowitz-pi | i don't know why those acarpets were so cheap, time will tell perhaps... | Feb 12 10:36 |
| schestowitz-pi | maybe those pieces are from wall to wall, but too narrow to sell on their own | Feb 12 10:36 |
| schestowitz-pi | from the factory | Feb 12 10:36 |
| schestowitz-pi | I need that as I move my chair around a lot | Feb 12 10:36 |
| techrights[sec] | With Yahoo! in the news regarding layoffs it belatedly comes to mind that | Feb 12 10:54 |
| techrights[sec] | m$ is doing to the LF the same thing and in much the same way. LF, Yahoo!, | Feb 12 10:54 |
| techrights[sec] | Nokia, what others? | Feb 12 10:54 |
| schestowitz-pi | Novell | Feb 12 10:54 |
| schestowitz-pi | pj protested even novell entering the LF | Feb 12 10:55 |
| schestowitz-pi | saying it would let microsoft get a foot in the doors | Feb 12 10:55 |
| schestowitz-pi | that was before elop | Feb 12 10:55 |
| schestowitz-pi | now look at LF | Feb 12 10:55 |
| schestowitz-pi | far worse than novell | Feb 12 10:55 |
| techrights[sec] | Maybe a short retrospective summary of such attacks is in order now with Yahoo! | Feb 12 10:56 |
| techrights[sec] | laying off so many. | Feb 12 10:56 |
| techrights[sec] | Good point and it is truly bizarre that LF allows their most hostile compitor | Feb 12 10:56 |
| techrights[sec] | seats on the board, both indirectly but (far worse) directly | Feb 12 10:56 |
| schestowitz-pi | with help from spamnil, perlow and co | Feb 12 10:58 |
| schestowitz-pi | it now only sold openwashign as a service | Feb 12 10:58 |
| schestowitz-pi | it effective killed the open source brand | Feb 12 10:58 |
| schestowitz-pi | many fs devs no longer wish to use this term | Feb 12 10:58 |
| schestowitz-pi | as for linux, it does not have a "community" connotation to it anymore | Feb 12 10:58 |
| schestowitz-pi | any time people hear or see "linux foundation" it comes | Feb 12 10:58 |
| schestowitz-pi | with household names like oracle, facebook, microsoft, and some | Feb 12 10:58 |
| schestowitz-pi | military companies | Feb 12 10:58 |
| schestowitz-pi | *some OTHER military... | Feb 12 10:58 |
| schestowitz-pi | many tech firms are already technical contractoes for the "fedence ministry", DoD | Feb 12 10:58 |
| techrights[sec] | They appear to plan to ride it into the ground, openwashing until the residue | Feb 12 10:59 |
| techrights[sec] | of reputation is gone. | Feb 12 10:59 |
| techrights[sec] | LF got rid of the community representatives long ago. | Feb 12 10:59 |
| schestowitz-pi | it was obstructing "opportunities" (to profit more) | Feb 12 11:00 |
| schestowitz-pi | the product that sells more is misinformation | Feb 12 11:00 |
| schestowitz-pi | not honest reporting but manipulation | Feb 12 11:00 |
| schestowitz-pi | the best known example of that has a name | Feb 12 11:00 |
| schestowitz-pi | it is called "ADVERTISING" | Feb 12 11:00 |
| schestowitz-pi | billPR perpetuates this idea that health concerns are irrational | Feb 12 11:40 |
| schestowitz-pi | and promotes the idea that "back to business" is acceptable | Feb 12 11:40 |
| schestowitz-pi | because "everyone is smok... wait, I man, everyone is doing it" | Feb 12 11:40 |
| schestowitz-pi | testing script05 | Feb 12 11:45 |
| schestowitz-pi | trmpting to put this on the raspi400 with apache on and some alternative port number | Feb 12 12:06 |
| schestowitz-pi | (yes, am aware it is not finished) | Feb 12 12:06 |
| schestowitz-pi | my script, which is not quite evolving yet, merely throws a lot of html into a plain text file | Feb 12 12:06 |
| schestowitz-pi | faster to work with it than "view source" | Feb 12 12:06 |
| schestowitz-pi | one thing I noticed is, the script that adds site named to urls chomps the spaces before and after "href" | Feb 12 12:06 |
| schestowitz-pi | elements inside blockquote | Feb 12 12:06 |
| schestowitz-pi | did not check why | Feb 12 12:06 |
| schestowitz-pi | but either way, those are big strides that increase the usefulness of the links we curate | Feb 12 12:06 |
| schestowitz-pi | on a dail basis thousands of people use those | Feb 12 12:06 |
| schestowitz-pi | just backed up ergo/ircd | Feb 12 12:19 |
| schestowitz-pi | first time this year, next step is doing bubi->external drives | Feb 12 12:19 |
| schestowitz-pi | for peace of mind, i am playing with r.r.r.r.r.r. | Feb 12 12:19 |
| schestowitz-pi | it's very handy, but i recognise the workflow is yet to be decided on | Feb 12 12:19 |
| schestowitz-pi | i have a 'minkey mouse' approac in the interim, rianne checks quiterss as before | Feb 12 12:19 |
| schestowitz-pi | we passed the library twice today, it is very very large, not far from the manchester city training | Feb 12 12:19 |
| schestowitz-pi | ground ("academy"), just across the road from it. iirc, some of the library building costs was covered | Feb 12 12:19 |
| schestowitz-pi | by the OILigarchs | Feb 12 12:19 |
| schestowitz-pi | ergoirc backup includes some server logs, but the key part is channel and user data in case recovery is needed (one day that can happen; quick D-R would be neat) | Feb 12 12:32 |

| techrights[sec] | Eventually the feed reader script could sit on one of your machines | Feb 12 12:48 |
| techrights[sec] | and dump its output to the local web server's document root via cron | Feb 12 12:48 |
| schestowitz-pi | yes, this is ezaactly what I had in mind | Feb 12 12:49 |
| schestowitz-pi | splitting apache based on domains without some HA machine somewhere would be the hard part for part 80 | Feb 12 12:49 |
| schestowitz-pi | *port | Feb 12 12:49 |
| techrightssec | Apache can do vhosts based on IP address or by port number or both | Feb 12 12:52 |
| schestowitz-pi | the scenario i had in mind was | Feb 12 12:53 |
| schestowitz-pi | rss.something | Feb 12 12:53 |
| schestowitz-pi | > rasp400 | Feb 12 12:53 |
| schestowitz-pi | gemini.tr | Feb 12 12:53 |
| schestowitz-pi | > raspi4 | Feb 12 12:53 |
| schestowitz-pi | on same home network | Feb 12 12:53 |
| schestowitz-pi | same port | Feb 12 12:54 |
| techrights[sec] | You'd have to have one machine be the main unit and cache the other if | Feb 12 12:54 |
| techrights[sec] | you want both accessible via the same host name and same port | Feb 12 12:54 |
| schestowitz-pi | yes, hence HA | Feb 12 12:55 |
| schestowitz-pi | but I think it can be a more generic splitter | Feb 12 12:55 |
| schestowitz-pi | no HA per se | Feb 12 12:55 |
| schestowitz-pi | either way, something needs to manage or route requests | Feb 12 12:55 |
| schestowitz-pi | varnish can do that, i think | Feb 12 12:55 |
| schestowitz-pi | maybe squid too | Feb 12 12:55 |
| techrights[sec] | s/cache/proxy/ | Feb 12 12:56 |
| techrights[sec] | Minor update; I think the CSS is now more or less done. Now it is a matter | Feb 12 13:19 |
| techrights[sec] | of finding feeds which are not processed correctly. The most common problem | Feb 12 13:19 |
| techrights[sec] | has been with malformatted dates. | Feb 12 13:19 |
| schestowitz-pi | the script run nicelyt | Feb 12 13:32 |
| schestowitz-pi | is there a simple way to expand the whole tree in one fell swoop? | Feb 12 13:32 |
| techrightssec | Maybe, but probably not -- at least not with the current CSS model | Feb 12 13:39 |
| techrightssec | The workflow I have found so far is to start at the bottom and work upwards, | Feb 12 13:39 |
| techrightssec | openening as I go. There's less scrolling that way. | Feb 12 13:39 |

| techrights[sec] | Wait. There might be a way. But the XSLT might be in the way. | Feb 12 14:01 |
| schestowitz-pi | i can put my latest script in /tmp but it has not changed much and would not be easy to read | Feb 12 14:01 |
| schestowitz-pi | the cascading navigation thing url can help orientation, except see what is new since the last time | Feb 12 14:01 |
| schestowitz-pi | then, I can turn to the raw html and handle it there | Feb 12 14:01 |
| schestowitz-pi | i regret I did not do OFF-SITE backup of OPML in months | Feb 12 14:01 |
| schestowitz-pi | but then again those are all just mere URLs | Feb 12 14:01 |
| schestowitz-pi | and not much of great value was lost in the crash | Feb 12 14:01 |
| schestowitz-pi | I had planned to back it up weeks prior | Feb 12 14:01 |
| schestowitz-pi | but assumed booting one last time to take latest files would be possible | Feb 12 14:01 |
| schestowitz-pi | the real goal is not to retain everything | Feb 12 14:01 |
| schestowitz-pi | but to move on and watch further for what little is left of actual journalissm | Feb 12 14:01 |
| schestowitz-pi | or coverage of real substance in free software | Feb 12 14:01 |
| schestowitz-pi | the in-deapth journalism is so scarce that it has become hard to actually | Feb 12 14:01 |
| schestowitz-pi | come up with article idea | Feb 12 14:02 |
| schestowitz-pi | and it's clear who benefits from such informatioin vacuums, which PR can fill up | Feb 12 14:02 |
| schestowitz-pi | or not be needed to compensate for | Feb 12 14:02 |
| schestowitz-pi | i might be doing something wrong | Feb 12 14:32 |
| schestowitz-pi | 1) got latest file | Feb 12 14:32 |
| schestowitz-pi | 2) ran with --open before the target file | Feb 12 14:32 |
| schestowitz-pi | 3) checked output in firefox esr | Feb 12 14:32 |
| schestowitz-pi | 4) checked --h | Feb 12 14:32 |
| schestowitz-pi | 5) seems like i used it correctly | Feb 12 14:32 |
| schestowitz-pi | 6) checked again, it did not auto-expand 'live' nodes | Feb 12 14:32 |
| schestowitz-pi | btw, i think i'm on top of all feeds now | Feb 12 14:32 |
| schestowitz-pi | this weekend i have other "lesser" tasks like shopping (we saved like 150 pounds again) | Feb 12 14:32 |
| schestowitz-pi | and still need to back up "bubi" tonight | Feb 12 14:32 |
| schestowitz-pi | want to do some video (have topic, lack time) | Feb 12 14:32 |
| schestowitz-pi | and improved the layout of the office | Feb 12 14:33 |
| schestowitz-pi | with a coffee table | Feb 12 14:33 |
| schestowitz-pi | and a raspi and 27 inch monitor on it | Feb 12 14:33 |
| schestowitz-pi | formerly the monitoring bot upstairs | Feb 12 14:33 |
| schestowitz-pi | very very nice offe now, lower row, 5 keyboard, controlled by one master keyboar,d the 6th one | Feb 12 14:33 |
| schestowitz-pi | middle tier: two large monitor | Feb 12 14:33 |
| schestowitz-pi | top tier: 2 smaller monitors (22 inch) | Feb 12 14:33 |
| schestowitz-pi | they all hibernate when afk | Feb 12 14:33 |
| schestowitz-pi | so I think i balanced energy use, to the best of my abilitity | Feb 12 14:33 |
| schestowitz-pi | as you can see, my typos are now fewer and i can type a lot faster too | Feb 12 14:33 |
| schestowitz-pi | as this is a machines that is controlled by the mechanical keyboard over barrier | Feb 12 14:33 |
| techrights[sec] | checking | Feb 12 14:33 |
| techrights[sec] | found it | Feb 12 14:33 |
| techrights[sec] | try now | Feb 12 14:33 |
| techrights[sec] | (new upload) | Feb 12 14:33 |
| techrights[sec] | Yes, the precision of typing has improved noticably | Feb 12 14:33 |
| schestowitz-pi | getting the new file now | Feb 12 14:37 |
| schestowitz-pi | yes, you should see how I was typing before, leaning over one keyboard to reacha distant one | Feb 12 14:37 |
| schestowitz-pi | I'm glad I found a solution to it | Feb 12 14:37 |
| schestowitz-pi | rather, an alternative | Feb 12 14:37 |
| schestowitz-pi | now this ytalk session shows up on two computers at once | Feb 12 14:37 |
| schestowitz-pi | so 3 participants, sort of | Feb 12 14:37 |
| schestowitz-pi | irc has been rather busy lately and has cost a lot of time in general | Feb 12 14:37 |
| schestowitz-pi | i don't mind tbh, as long as it is on topic | Feb 12 14:37 |
| schestowitz-pi | i got some messages from fans of the tuxmachines and techrights sites | Feb 12 14:37 |

| schestowitz-pi | yesterday one asked about fsfe | Feb 12 14:37 |
| schestowitz-pi | so one can get a smell of the covert impact | Feb 12 14:37 |
| schestowitz-pi | but I wish i could write more, it's just still a transitionary perdiot, esp. due to the probing | Feb 12 14:37 |
| schestowitz-pi | of the pensiona dn speaking to old colleagues | Feb 12 14:37 |
| schestowitz-pi | in the context of life in general, a few lost days is no worse than air travel or a journey | Feb 12 14:37 |
| schestowitz-pi | and staying healthy (not hospital stay) is also important | Feb 12 14:37 |
| techrights[sec] | wait, indent problem, just a sec | Feb 12 14:38 |
| techrights[sec] | just a sec | Feb 12 14:38 |
| techrights[sec] | ok I think all the Ts are crossed and Is dotted | Feb 12 14:38 |

| schestowitz-pi | very nice, this works now | Feb 12 14:50 |
| schestowitz-pi | i try not to think of covid-19 too much | Feb 12 14:50 |
| schestowitz-pi | it can be mentally paralysing at times | Feb 12 14:50 |
| schestowitz-pi | i need to look after my wife and i | Feb 12 14:50 |
| schestowitz-pi | i cannot lecture others too much | Feb 12 14:50 |
| schestowitz-pi | or impose masks on them | Feb 12 14:50 |
| schestowitz-pi | the stores we go to are "open air" | Feb 12 14:50 |
| schestowitz-pi | and at 7am it's sparsely populated | Feb 12 14:50 |
| schestowitz-pi | we finish by 8am sunday | Feb 12 14:50 |
| schestowitz-pi | in my latest draft, was i fair and diplomatic enough do you think? rianne says yes | Feb 12 14:59 |
| schestowitz-pi | btw, she saw the feeds page (06) and likes that | Feb 12 14:59 |
| schestowitz-pi | for now she covers quiterss | Feb 12 14:59 |
| schestowitz-pi | don't think we're missing any major news or reach it too late | Feb 12 14:59 |
| schestowitz-pi | when done right and consistently we'll be vastly better off | Feb 12 14:59 |
| schestowitz-pi | seeing that hunting for stories got harder | Feb 12 14:59 |
| techrights[sec] | \ | Feb 12 15:04 |
| techrights[sec] | In the draft it might be useful to make a distinction between ads and javascript | Feb 12 15:04 |
| techrights[sec] | Malvertising usually rides along in javascript but javascript and ads are really | Feb 12 15:04 |
| techrights[sec] | two separate things. It would be disingenuous of Larabel to try to conflate the | Feb 12 15:04 |
| techrights[sec] | two. I'm sure people still visiting his old site have no problem with actual | Feb 12 15:04 |
| techrights[sec] | ads but they get blocked along with the malicious javascript. | Feb 12 15:04 |
| techrights[sec] | The content of larabel's page might be substantially less than 25% of one | Feb 12 15:04 |
| techrights[sec] | counts the scripts (but not the graphics) | Feb 12 15:04 |
| techrights[sec] | checking | Feb 12 15:04 |
| techrights[sec] | QuiteRSS is too slow and crashy. It's great otherwise | Feb 12 15:04 |
| schestowitz-pi | thanks, i will rephrase a bit | Feb 12 15:05 |
| schestowitz-pi | good points | Feb 12 15:05 |
| techrights[sec] | His latest page is about 430kB minus the graphics and minus most scripts. Yet | Feb 12 15:09 |
| techrights[sec] | the text itself is about 2k which is 0.4% if my arthimetic is still ok | Feb 12 15:09 |
| techrights[sec] | s/page/post/ | Feb 12 15:09 |
| techrights[sec] | 0.47% | Feb 12 15:11 |
| schestowitz-pi | 0.47% | Feb 12 15:11 |
| techrights[sec] | So yes 0.4% is less than 25% | Feb 12 15:11 |
| techrights[sec] | by a lot | Feb 12 15:11 |
| techrights[sec] | Mistake with bc and scale | Feb 12 15:11 |
| techrights[sec] | I'm disappointed that bc just truncated the extra decimal place and did not round up. I guess I'll go back to n | Feb 12 15:14 |
| techrights[sec] | ot using it and stay with perl or python for | Feb 12 15:14 |
| techrights[sec] | quick math. | Feb 12 15:14 |
| techrights[sec] | One-liners all the way. | Feb 12 15:14 |
| schestowitz-pi | i usee kcalc, i fire it off with ctrl+alt+f in xbindeys | Feb 12 15:15 |
| schestowitz-pi | klauncher/krunner can also do basic maths | Feb 12 15:15 |
| schestowitz-pi | which it can cope with, unlike spsmGPT | Feb 12 15:15 |
| schestowitz-pi | kde: the HEY HI smart desktop env. | Feb 12 15:15 |
| techrights[sec] | Is it RPN? | Feb 12 15:15 |
| techrights[sec] | I wouldn't mind a fast graphical RPN calculator like a virtual HP 15C or sometghing but otherwise math is done e | Feb 12 15:15 |
| techrights[sec] | asily on one line in the shell with perl | Feb 12 15:15 |
| schestowitz-pi | kcalc has a very simple mode | Feb 12 15:18 |
| schestowitz-pi | i just fire it up.. cause qt | Feb 12 15:18 |
| schestowitz-pi | since 20 eyars ago or more | Feb 12 15:18 |
| schestowitz-pi | and use numpad | Feb 12 15:18 |
| schestowitz-pi | rianne does the same | Feb 12 15:18 |
| schestowitz-pi | i had some interim spreadsheets for covid-19 before the drive crash | Feb 12 15:18 |
| schestowitz-pi | i did not back these up as important odf files were uploaded to my site anyway | Feb 12 15:18 |
| schestowitz-pi | i don't think i lost anything of much value | Feb 12 15:18 |
| schestowitz-pi | and recovering data from bad ssd is expensive | Feb 12 15:18 |
| schestowitz-pi | I asked around | Feb 12 15:18 |
| schestowitz-pi | doable, but not worth the time and money | Feb 12 15:18 |

| techrights[sec] | Proactive backups are better but easier said than done, in practice. | Feb 12 15:21 |
| schestowitz-pi | urgency proportional to sense of urgency and importance. in this case, | Feb 12 15:24 |
| schestowitz-pi | a) lost a few dozens of rss feeds (merely a list of urls, no biggie) | Feb 12 15:24 |
| schestowitz-pi | those were backups up to the same drive, but not recently to another machine | Feb 12 15:24 |
| schestowitz-pi | b) "original" raw video recordings | Feb 12 15:24 |
| schestowitz-pi | since 3 months ago | Feb 12 15:24 |
