Techrights-secWhat was the last day with the Gemini links in the IRC posts?Sep 13 08:26
schestowitz-TRI think about a week agoSep 13 08:26
Techrights-secI see them in the older posts.  I'll dig into what changed.  Sep 13 08:32
schestowitz-TRat one point you needed to change the script to get an earlier (missing) dateSep 13 08:33
Techrights-secOk.  The script is repaired and today's IRC post has been updated.  Sep 13 08:41
schestowitz-TRexcellent, thank you. I made further improvements to the gemini stats page and some of the git portalSep 13 08:42

schestowitzSo now biology has no right to exist?Sep 13 09:31
schestowitzThese people have a right to existSep 13 09:31
schestowitzwhat's challenged is the ideology, not the people themselvesSep 13 09:32
schestowitzor rather, the idea that gender is still a thingSep 13 09:32
schestowitzsorry that biology offends some peopleSep 13 09:32

Techrights-secOn the main page for Gemini, the "Latest Articles" ought to be muchSep 13 10:43
Techrights-sechigher up and closer to the beginning.Sep 13 10:43
schestowitz-TRI thought the exact some thing and daemonfc said the same. Also, ipfs and syndication should be level 2 headlines. fancy shuffling? We're still in the stages of improvement. 6.6k requests in first 10 hours today.  I added a cron job to show top requested pages. It is run as 'pi'.Sep 13 10:45
Techrights-secOk, I'll move the menu around slightly.Sep 13 10:46
Techrights-secAll, set, I think.  Try now.Sep 13 10:48
Techrights-secShould that cron job not run as ~gemini instead of ~pi?Sep 13 10:52
schestowitz-TRgemini would need to be in sudoers for that (I don't think it is)Sep 13 10:52
schestowitz-TRthe structure of the front page makes a lot more sense now. thanks! it was well overdue too, but I wasn't sure how to get about doing the reordering best.Sep 13 10:54
Techrights-secNPSep 13 10:56
Techrights-secI wish there were an easier way to generate the lastest feeds.  Sep 13 10:56
Techrights-secThe current method is a braindead shell script which looks for the lastSep 13 10:56
Techrights-sectwo calendar days.  It would be nice to have the latest, regardless of date,Sep 13 10:56
Techrights-secbut that would requite a lot of work in perl or rakulangSep 13 10:56
schestowitz-TRI can relate to the date thing. Between 2:30am and 6am I cannot post anything in wordpress without it being dropped from the daily bulletin, mostly because of timezone settings and workflow in those hours.Sep 13 10:57
Techrights-secYes, some of the timezone are still not on UTC.Sep 13 11:06

schestowitz-TRjust tackled a lack of git pull from git-update.sh -- this resulted it the capsule not showing the very latest changesetSep 13 14:13
schestowitz-TRfunny side story: I was going to test this thing after the cron job at 12pm, then forgot that I was supposed to do this, did not even know I was planning to (it slipped my mind, but I knew I was SUPPOSED to do SOMETHING), took a one-hour nap and it came back to me as soon as I woke up with a fresh mindSep 13 14:15
Techrights-secclearing the mind works like that oftenSep 13 14:24

Techrights-sec->Sep 13 14:24
Techrights-secfind  Desktop-Utils/ -type f -not -name index.gmi ...Sep 13 14:24
schestowitz-TRyes, it was very quick and dirty, we'll probably make many improvements over time. I'm trying to 'sell' this idea that geeks should use gemini for a lot more things and this is one...Sep 13 14:25
schestowitz-TRthere is lots of room for 'innovation' in gemini while it is still young and many gaps existSep 13 14:25
schestowitz-TRsomeone made a chat client in geminiSep 13 14:25
schestowitz-TRthe git pull line can be taken out of the conditional statement, turning two identical line into just one...?Sep 13 14:27
Techrights-secyes, it is redundant when preceeded by clonewSep 13 14:46
Techrights-secI've made a tweak, is esktop-Utils/index.gmiSep 13 14:46
Techrights-secthe right output still?Sep 13 14:46
schestowitz-TRdespite the clone, it did not get the latest changes until I ran pull. maybe my git fu is just far too awful, but it took me a while to realise how to get around it...Sep 13 14:47
schestowitz-TRIn desktop utils something went wrongSep 13 14:49

schestowitz-TRI have noticed some requests for gemini.techrights.org/yearSep 13 15:11
schestowitz-TRI am guessing those come via web proxiesSep 13 15:11
schestowitz-TRand those return an error pageSep 13 15:11
schestowitz-TRone simple fix would be to cat, for each year, all the monthly archives gemini.techrights.org/year/month and this can be automated. any thoughts?Sep 13 15:12
schestowitz-TR(for most years it's about 1000-2000 posts in total, so not too much for a single page to load OK)Sep 13 15:13
Techrights-secIs there a way to fix the error instead?Sep 13 15:14
schestowitz-TRNo, because the proxy has a breadcrumb trail that includes year. I can tackle this for all past year quite fast. I shall do this now..Sep 13 15:15
schestowitz-TR*yearsSep 13 15:15
Techrights-secI think it is only a matter of enabling directory indexing for the server.Sep 13 15:16
schestowitz-TRI've decided a better solution would be to copy index of first month of year (january for all except 2006) to the dir one level up, as at the end it has "next month" link alreadySep 13 15:17

schestowitz-TRI noticed that from yesterday's stats the yearly archives page (which does not exist) gets accessed enough to reach top 20 (top result was 300+ views for the day)Sep 13 15:20
*activelow (~activelow@kmujm4s8xqrtu.irc) has joined #boycottnovellSep 13 15:20
Techrights-secThat's just the one month in there.  Maybe it should list the months onlySep 13 15:21
Techrights-secand not the contents of the actual days.Sep 13 15:21
schestowitz-TRthat would be a better approach but require more code?Sep 13 15:21
schestowitzgemini://gemini.techrights.org/archive/ is currently hand-craftedSep 13 15:22
schestowitz-TRfor some reason I thought you had automated it, but then I noticed it was not changing, so kept adding one month at a timeSep 13 15:23
schestowitz-TRdesktop-utils sems to be fixed now :DSep 13 15:24
Techrights-secstill working on it -- refactoringSep 13 15:26
schestowitz-TRam backing up the whole pi in the background over rsync to laptop, which is in turn backed up to magnetic disks in case recoveries will be neededSep 13 15:37
Techrights-secOk but at the moment I am changing /home/gemini/bin/git-update.shSep 13 15:55
Techrights-secRefactoring of /home/gemini/bin/git-update.sh is now complete for now.Sep 13 15:55
schestowitz-TRlooks good. regardless, I rsync it across arround once a week, even more when we made big changes just in case it refuses to boot or the sd card is fried or something...Sep 13 15:56
Techrights-secThanks.Sep 13 16:09
Techrights-secRegular rsync backups are important.Sep 13 16:09
schestowitz-TRwhat to do about domain/year/   ? They're wrongly access, to quick-and-dirty ad hoc is copy january index.gmi one level up and leave it at that...Sep 13 16:10

Techrights-secshould it go into cron now?Sep 13 16:41
schestowitz-TRit is probably taking under a second to run, so even though past years need not be rerun I guess this is hardly the bottleneck. :-)Sep 13 16:41
schestowitz-TRin fact, it probably needs to be run just every month or week (to be safe), or first of each year if having the latest month listed is not crucialSep 13 16:43
Techrights-secWrong key.  Sep 13 16:44
schestowitz-TRyou said, before disconnection, that running it once a day is current plan but maybe once a month would be enough. I'm thinking of situation of powerdown on the monthly time slot, hence I said every week :-)Sep 13 16:45
Techrights-secOk, I'll set it for once a week. Sep 13 16:45
