(2) and (3) are resolved when I disable IPFS. [04:31] Techrights-sec can you start ipfs for a few minutes so I can try a few things? [04:31] Techrights-sec Part of the problem might be the 800kb/s limit for all connections. [04:31] Techrights-sec IF the outgoing SSH is increased beyond that, the speed should be ok. [04:31] Techrights-sec So I think the values need to be tweaked. [04:31] schestowitz__ I have just turned it back on. The SSH jobs I run upload about 200KB (big B). [04:33] schestowitz__ wait, it is not starting ipfs, checking reason [04:36] schestowitz__ now it's going again, seems it did not (yet) finished uploading all the files to the network/swarm [04:37] Techrights-sec Gemini is fine going in. I think the limits on the outgoing traffic [04:37] Techrights-sec are probably wrong. What is the proper bandwidth setting for the LAN? [04:37] Techrights-sec (its ok to turn IPFS off now, I saw what I was looking for) [04:37] Techrights-sec failed to read header: ... i/o timeout.

[04:50] Techrights-sec If that does not work, then I'll have to go back to the drawing board. [04:52] Techrights-sec Again, inbound SSH works [04:52] Techrights-sec make sure that the iptables has a rule for 1965 [04:52] Techrights-sec (port 1965) [04:52] schestowitz__ I've just run that [04:53] Techrights-sec Gemin fetches now [04:53] Techrights-sec yes, but a little delay [04:53] schestowitz__ home connection a bit slower now, I will check how much the pi uses all in all [04:54] Techrights-sec the delay depends a bit on file size, but it is there even for smaller posts [04:55] schestowitz__ b/w usage is now up by quite a lot [04:56] Techrights-sec The rates in lines 28-31 of the script can be adjusted [04:58] Techrights-sec Some of the Gemini delay can be about reading from the same [04:58] Techrights-sec file system as the IPFS server [04:59] schestowitz__ I think it is better as it is now, as the lag isn't too bad as things generally work ● Feb 18 [05:01] Techrights-sec If the LAN is 1000kb/s then 800kb/s is a large portion. [05:01] Techrights-sec Perhaps that should be lowered for the RPi or just for IPFS? [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 [06:01] *liberty_box has quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds) [06:01] *rianne_ has quit (Ping timeout: 256 seconds) ● Feb 18 [07:25] *rianne_ (~rianne@host81-154-169-167.range81-154.btcentralplus.com) has joined #boycottnovell [07:25] *liberty_box (~liberty@host81-154-169-167.range81-154.btcentralplus.com) has joined #boycottnovell ● Feb 18 [08:41] *liberty_box has quit (Ping timeout: 246 seconds) [08:42] *rianne_ has quit (Ping timeout: 256 seconds) [08:43] *rianne_ (~rianne@host81-154-169-167.range81-154.btcentralplus.com) has joined #boycottnovell [08:45] *liberty_box (~liberty@host81-154-169-167.range81-154.btcentralplus.com) has joined #boycottnovell ● Feb 18 [09:23] *liberty_box has quit (Ping timeout: 256 seconds) [09:23] *rianne_ has quit (Ping timeout: 260 seconds) [09:45] Techrights-sec BTW agate is for static files only and cannot to interaction with scripts [09:45] Techrights-sec or programs [09:45] Techrights-sec The Gemini mirror now has 2013, too [09:45] Techrights-sec Probably 2012 much later today [09:46] schestowitz__ Thanks, I am recording some videos now.

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. [09:48] 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. [09:49] Techrights-sec The acoustics of the room also matter. [09:49] Techrights-sec Flat smooth walls parallel to eachother and a flat ceiling are all bad. [09:57] schestowitz__

    As well see below, the design is very similar to RK3399 based RockPro64, but the new model adds a native SATA 3.0 port, an integrated battery charging circuitry, an ePD port for e-Ink displays, and supports more memory with up to 8GB LPDDR4 RAM.

[12:51] Techrights-sec With the main part of the TR site, the old articles will not change. [12:52] schestowitz__ True, I think you're right.

It has footnotes that in some case span pages (though not on the scale of John Hodgson's example) and are full of observations about the most trivial and mundane parts of daily existence. The narrator uses the [19:00] -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-en.wikipedia.org | The Mezzanine - Wikipedia [19:00] schestowitz__ footnotes to detail his internal monologue - examples include trying to figure out the fundamental reason that one shoelace breaks before the other, advice on what line to stand in at the cash register (don't pick the shortest; pick the one with the smartest clerk), a table of how many times a year he has particular recurring thoughts, and of course a footnotes on the pleasure of footnotes (he suggests that prolific footnote [19:00] schestowitz__ writers of the past like Boswell, Lecky and Gibbon "knew the anticipatory pleasure of sensing with peripheral vision, as they turned the page, a gray silt of further example and qualification waiting in tiny type at the bottom".
