| schestowitz__ | With IPFS running I've noticed that: 1) the bulletin in its entirety was sent outwards OK 2) I could hardly make any SSH connection to the main server (it would time out); 3) gemini became barely accessilble over amfora, even for small pages. (2) and (3) are resolved when I disable IPFS. | Feb 18 04:27 |
| Techrights-sec | can you start ipfs for a few minutes so I can try a few things? | Feb 18 04:31 |
| Techrights-sec | Part of the problem might be the 800kb/s limit for all connections. | Feb 18 04:31 |
| Techrights-sec | IF the outgoing SSH is increased beyond that, the speed should be ok. | Feb 18 04:31 |
| Techrights-sec | So I think the values need to be tweaked. | Feb 18 04:31 |
| schestowitz__ | I have just turned it back on. The SSH jobs I run upload about 200KB (big B). | Feb 18 04:31 |
| schestowitz__ | wait, it is not starting ipfs, checking reason | Feb 18 04:33 |
| schestowitz__ | now it's going again, seems it did not (yet) finished uploading all the files to the network/swarm | Feb 18 04:36 |
| Techrights-sec | Gemini is fine going in. I think the limits on the outgoing traffic | Feb 18 04:37 |
| Techrights-sec | are probably wrong. What is the proper bandwidth setting for the LAN? | Feb 18 04:37 |
| Techrights-sec | (its ok to turn IPFS off now, I saw what I was looking for) | Feb 18 04:37 |
| Techrights-sec | failed to read header: ... i/o timeout. | Feb 18 04:37 |
| schestowitz__ | with ipfs on I cannot get any page over gemini | Feb 18 04:38 |
| Techrights-sec | htop shows plenty of cpu and RAM remaining | Feb 18 04:39 |
| Techrights-sec | same here, though it seemed I could yesterday | Feb 18 04:40 |
| Techrights-sec | ialWithDialer timed out | Feb 18 04:40 |
| schestowitz__ | maybe ipfs makes it reach the limits | Feb 18 04:40 |
| Techrights-sec | SSH in works ok though | Feb 18 04:44 |
| Techrights-sec | even while IPFS is running | Feb 18 04:44 |
| Techrights-sec | \ | Feb 18 04:44 |
| schestowitz__ | I can see many concurrent connections at about 1000Mbits a second | Feb 18 04:44 |
| schestowitz__ | 1 Mbit | Feb 18 04:45 |
| Techrights-sec | $ netstat -ntp | grep 4001 | wc -l | Feb 18 04:46 |
| Techrights-sec | (Not all processes could be identified, non-owned process info | Feb 18 04:46 |
| Techrights-sec | will not be shown, you would have to be root to see it all.) | Feb 18 04:46 |
| Techrights-sec | 160 | Feb 18 04:46 |
| Techrights-sec | \ | Feb 18 04:46 |
| schestowitz__ | IIRC, with the prior configs the connection was being maxed up for the home, but gemini was more or less accessible | Feb 18 04:49 |
| Techrights-sec | I've put a new script in ~/bin/ | Feb 18 04:50 |
| Techrights-sec | with different settings. | Feb 18 04:50 |
| Techrights-sec | If that does not work, then I'll have to go back to the drawing board. | Feb 18 04:50 |
| Techrights-sec | Again, inbound SSH works | Feb 18 04:52 |
| Techrights-sec | make sure that the iptables has a rule for 1965 | Feb 18 04:52 |
| Techrights-sec | (port 1965) | Feb 18 04:52 |
| schestowitz__ | I've just run that | Feb 18 04:52 |
| Techrights-sec | Gemin fetches now | Feb 18 04:53 |
| Techrights-sec | yes, but a little delay | Feb 18 04:53 |
| schestowitz__ | home connection a bit slower now, I will check how much the pi uses all in all | Feb 18 04:53 |
| Techrights-sec | the delay depends a bit on file size, but it is there even for smaller posts | Feb 18 04:54 |
| schestowitz__ | b/w usage is now up by quite a lot | Feb 18 04:55 |
| Techrights-sec | The rates in lines 28-31 of the script can be adjusted | Feb 18 04:56 |
| Techrights-sec | Some of the Gemini delay can be about reading from the same | Feb 18 04:58 |
| Techrights-sec | file system as the IPFS server | Feb 18 04:58 |
| schestowitz__ | I think it is better as it is now, as the lag isn't too bad as things generally work | Feb 18 04:59 |
| Techrights-sec | If the LAN is 1000kb/s then 800kb/s is a large portion. | Feb 18 05:01 |
| Techrights-sec | Perhaps that should be lowered for the RPi or just for IPFS? | Feb 18 05:01 |
| schestowitz__ | Given that both seem to work at the moment, let's give it a day or two to settle, then tweak on if necessary | Feb 18 05:01 |

| schestowitz__ | Thanks, I am recording some videos now. I recently tackled the aspect ratio issue, long overdue! I didn't realise until the past few days why things were being stretched. Also, I checked on and gave up on noise reduction from the CLI or adding opening/key frame from the CLI as it turns out to be tricky without a long GUI process in a video editor. | Feb 18 09:46 |
| schestowitz__ | For noise reduction I need a good mic with built-in DSP that handles noise; the adding fancy stuff in an automated fashion I'd need to reencode the whole lot. | Feb 18 09:48 |
| Techrights-sec | The acoustics of the room also matter. | Feb 18 09:49 |

| Techrights-sec | The wiki is too dynamic. I'm not sure it would be relevant as a gemini mirror, | Feb 18 12:51 |
| Techrights-sec | because of the constant changing. | Feb 18 12:51 |
| Techrights-sec | It'd be better for that to have a plugin on the server side which exports gemini | Feb 18 12:51 |
| Techrights-sec | instead of scraping. | Feb 18 12:51 |
| Techrights-sec | With the main part of the TR site, the old articles will not change. | Feb 18 12:51 |
| schestowitz__ | True, I think you're right. For IRC and bulletins it's a cheap operation as all we really do is a directory scan with some grepping, no network operations. | Feb 18 12:52 |
| schestowitz__ | BTW, is the whole web site inc. latest articles updated every 3 hours? This is important as I like linking to gopher:// within hours of the original publication (making it "equal" to the WWW version) | Feb 18 12:53 |
| Techrights-sec | The RSS feed is checed every three hours, then that is added to what | Feb 18 13:03 |
| Techrights-sec | is already in Gemini. | Feb 18 13:03 |
| Techrights-sec | If you want to refresh before the cron job, run gemini-cron-updater.sh manually | Feb 18 13:03 |
| Techrights-sec | and that will do it. | Feb 18 13:03 |
| schestowitz__ | I sometimes do that, seeing that it never seems to break anything which already exists, so that seems stable and robust. I will turn logging back on just to survey what's going on for a bit... | Feb 18 13:03 |

| Techrights-sec | I notice that the EDGI page does not have an obvious link to the | Feb 18 15:08 |
| Techrights-sec | actual Exhibit nor mention the case or exhibit number. If you have that | Feb 18 15:08 |
| Techrights-sec | handy could you add it? | Feb 18 15:08 |
| Techrights-sec | It is important to shorten the number of links between articles and | Feb 18 15:08 |
| Techrights-sec | original sources. | Feb 18 15:08 |
| schestowitz__ | It's not a single exhibit and IIRC it needs explaining within context. Would some exhibit screenshots in the wiki page help or detract? | Feb 18 15:08 |
| Techrights-sec | Links to PDFs on the Wikipage in the summary, even if it is multuple Exhibits | Feb 18 15:09 |
| Techrights-sec | If the links are not there, there is zero chance of visitors finding | Feb 18 15:10 |
