Techrights-secto foist off on peopleMar 18 10:48
Techrights-secackMar 18 10:48
schestowitz-TRserious question:Mar 18 11:04
schestowitz-TRdo you want read/write access (or rwead only) to my working articles ftext files Mar 18 11:04
schestowitz-TRand daily links file?Mar 18 11:04
Techrights-secnot really, the current work flow is comfortable Mar 18 11:04
Techrights-secthough there is always room for improvementMar 18 11:04
schestowitz-TRheh, my all-db file, the one that sotres 2 year's worth of daily links Mar 18 11:08
schestowitz-TR(mostly for me to check for duplicates)Mar 18 11:08
schestowitz-TRis nearly 200MB of plain text in sizeMar 18 11:08
schestowitz-TRI could never find a better apporoachMar 18 11:08
schestowitz-TRin the old days I'd do internal site search, but that was a lot slowerMar 18 11:08
schestowitz-TRthgan scanning a large text fileMar 18 11:08
schestowitz-TRcan you think of a better way?Mar 18 11:08
Techrights-secsqlite3 might be betterMar 18 11:10
Techrights-seconce the links are in HTML and validated by HTML Tidy, the URLs can be extracted and run over an SQLite3 database.Mar 18 11:10
schestowitz-TRhere's the snagMar 18 11:11
schestowitz-TRurl is not enoughMar 18 11:11
schestowitz-TRas sometimes urls and titles do changeMar 18 11:11
schestowitz-TRso I need a bit from post excerpt tooMar 18 11:11
schestowitz-TRto be sure I do not link to something I did beforMar 18 11:11
schestowitz-TRthe downside is kate takingup over 1gb of ram, assuming I want an archiveMar 18 11:12
schestowitz-TRwghich goes this far backMar 18 11:12
Techrights-secURL is the closes one can get, unless the same record can have multiple URLsMar 18 11:14
Techrights-secThe current work flow here is to check only the last two calendar months.Mar 18 11:14
Techrights-secIt's less efficient than it could be.  Again, sqlite3 is rather convenientMar 18 11:14
schestowitz-TRwait, I am being so thikckMar 18 11:16
schestowitz-TRI could just write an interface to scan the file without having it open in the text edtiroMar 18 11:16
schestowitz-TRthis would free up a lot of ramMar 18 11:16
Techrights-secyepMar 18 11:16
Techrights-secgrep would work for a flat fileMar 18 11:16
Techrights-secor awkMar 18 11:16
Techrights-secor perl  Mar 18 11:16
schestowitz-TRlol, all-db is 4.1 million linesMar 18 11:34
schestowitz-TRI will automate some more things, will push to gitg shortlyMar 18 11:34
schestowitz-TRthanks for tidying things upoMar 18 11:34
schestowitz-TRearliert today I tested the planet stufff and it still works as beforeMar 18 11:34
schestowitz-TRI am going to start doing git directly via the piMar 18 11:34
schestowitz-TRI have just tested simple grepMar 18 11:34
schestowitz-TRI will add custom stuff like -a and -b to show some contextMar 18 11:34
schestowitzgrep -a1 -b1   --color=always   nreview.org/collection/hainhofer-stammb  /home/roy/Desktop/Text_Workspace/all-db.txtMar 18 11:35

Techrights-secreadability is important for maintenaceMar 18 11:35
-TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-man.openbsd.org | style(9) - OpenBSD manual pagesMar 18 11:35
Techrights-secackMar 18 11:37
Techrights-secmaybe the -A and -B need to be uppercase?Mar 18 11:37
schestowitz-TRworks ok  in my version of grep on debian 10Mar 18 11:38
schestowitz-TRI've just freed up a lot of RAMMar 18 11:38
schestowitz-TRwell overdue, owing to all this refactoring and tidyingMar 18 11:38
Techrights-sec-a == process binary file as textMar 18 11:40
Techrights-sec-A == show the next lineMar 18 11:40
Techrights-sec-b == byte offsetMar 18 11:40
Techrights-sec-B == show the previous line(s)Mar 18 11:40
schestowitz-TRok, I think I see what's going on hereMar 18 11:41
schestowitz-TRif there is no space before the number, than uppsercase implied i thinkMar 18 11:42
schestowitz-TRsame output as when uppsrcase is usedMar 18 11:42
Techrights-secvery strangeMar 18 11:42
Techrights-secthose settings are the same across all greps that I know ofMar 18 11:42
schestowitz-TRsame in mine, as per the manpages that I sawMar 18 11:42
schestowitz-TRbut I think it tries to correct an errorMar 18 11:43
schestowitz-TRassuming I meant something elseMar 18 11:43
Techrights-secmaybe a bugMar 18 11:50
schestowitz-TRkate ram usage down from 700-14000 to just 60mbMar 18 11:54
schestowitz-TRmy notes are now written to the piMar 18 11:54
schestowitz-TRfor backups sake it would be nice to have an editor that can pew out svaes to two different deviuces at onceMar 18 11:54
schestowitz-TRlike a multiplexerMar 18 11:54
schestowitz-TRI am sure such a thing existMar 18 11:54
schestowitz-TR*existsMar 18 11:54
schestowitz-TRother than running some slave process/daemon to periodically replicateMar 18 11:54
Techrights-secinotify incron?Mar 18 11:54
schestowitz-TRI've just used gulag to see if there is any such thing in kate, but it seems notMar 18 11:56
schestowitz-TRmaygbe it keeps some local cashe, I think ti does something locally if you write over *ftp* or sshMar 18 11:56
Techrights-secincron can watch the specific file and then run a script when the file getsMar 18 11:57
Techrights-secchanged, the script can attempt to copy the file to a second locationMar 18 11:57
schestowitz-TRyes, I thought about inotify, but the pi does not have an external storage device attached and opening an ssh pipe each time I press save seems like an overkillMar 18 11:57
schestowitz-TRthose are important working files, I still don't know what to do about thunderbird because it's like 30GB in sizeMar 18 11:58

schestowitz-TRi am going to cron the planet thingMar 18 12:13
schestowitz-TRI don't suppose we have crontab in version controlMar 18 12:13
schestowitz-TRI've made a copy of the file under ~/bin with "gemini" prefix and have it update every 3 hoursMar 18 12:14
schestowitz-TRthe more important bits are the imported bitsMar 18 12:14
schestowitz-TRmy important working files are not in /home/piMar 18 12:14
schestowitz-TR*now in Mar 18 12:15
schestowitz-TRI am trying to classify which parts of my systems are still "moving poarts"Mar 18 12:15
schestowitz-TRand which ones are just sittigng there never changingMar 18 12:15
schestowitz-TRwhich means that backing them up over and over aqgain can be wastefulMar 18 12:15
schestowitz-TRI can back them up ujust ones to 3 external disks and that is itMar 18 12:15
