| schestowitz | I've found that momentum/inertia is very important, as the mind and body tend to work like that. Like merely starting a workout to be in a workout mood/mode. | Jan 20 05:07 |

| Techrights-sec | Too much maintenance and other overhead in having a mastodon instance. | Jan 20 08:34 |
| Techrights-sec | As mentioned, I figure WP must be jetisoned. The old pages can be static. | Jan 20 08:34 |
| Techrights-sec | The downside is that the old pages cannot then (for all practical purposes) | Jan 20 08:34 |
| Techrights-sec | be updated to link to relevant current pages and topics. However, it would | Jan 20 08:34 |
| Techrights-sec | save a lot of resources to do that. Hugo or jekyll? Not much more is needed | Jan 20 08:34 |
| Techrights-sec | than a templating system. (famous last words) | Jan 20 08:34 |

| schestowitz-TR | in gemini we already saw how an OS upgrade 'broke' the logging daemon (yes, I can run it interactively from the CLI) | Jan 20 08:36 |
| schestowitz-TR | but at least we are crafting and then sharing things in an area | Jan 20 08:39 |
| schestowitz-TR | where code is mostly absent (for now) for a lot of task | Jan 20 08:39 |
| schestowitz-TR | contrast to the web, where like a thousand frameworks exist ofor the same | Jan 20 08:39 |

| schestowitz-TR | let me throw an idea out there | Jan 20 08:42 |
| schestowitz-TR | provided we wait a little longer | Jan 20 08:42 |
| schestowitz-TR | we can make gemini primary, using a hand-crafted gateway | Jan 20 08:42 |
| schestowitz-TR | and then have a "legacy" html version with images and attachments and all | Jan 20 08:42 |

| schestowitz-TR | if only i knew more about youtube, i'd know how to coinvince people to get | Jan 20 08:53 |
| schestowitz-TR | off it | Jan 20 08:54 |
| schestowitz-TR | for now, I can better explain social control media like twitter | Jan 20 08:54 |
| schestowitz-TR | (not fb) | Jan 20 08:54 |
| schestowitz-TR | and why the web sucks and needs to be replaced | Jan 20 08:54 |
| Techrights-sec | the web was very briefly approaching improvement with XHTML4 and CSS2 | Jan 20 08:57 |
| Techrights-sec | then javasript and the rest happened. | Jan 20 08:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | you 'left out' xml/rss/atom | Jan 20 08:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | also, to e, all those js "frameworks" are the new activescript | Jan 20 08:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | and eme is like "protected content" in Trash | Jan 20 08:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | because w3c must adapt to suit hollywood | Jan 20 08:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | not the other way around | Jan 20 08:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | btw, some pro-patent sites have been perishing | Jan 20 09:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | they think they need a site overhaul | Jan 20 09:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | so they invest in changes without first realising what | Jan 20 09:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | the hell is going on | Jan 20 09:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | and why their audience has walked away | Jan 20 09:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | as a topic, patents are again slippijng out of the public vista | Jan 20 09:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | publishers' manguish is sometimes addressing yesterday issues | Jan 20 09:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | like running a site about novell in 2022 | Jan 20 09:01 |
| Techrights-sec | Yes, keeping the old link structure is very important, at least for the old | Jan 20 09:02 |
| Techrights-sec | posts. That's doable in several ways. | Jan 20 09:02 |
| Techrights-sec | I'd say part of that is due to the patents being a exacerbating factor in the | Jan 20 09:02 |
| Techrights-sec | SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. | Jan 20 09:02 |
| Techrights-sec | ' | Jan 20 09:02 |
| Techrights-sec | It's probably their way of appearing active but with out actually having to | Jan 20 09:05 |
| Techrights-sec | cover anything of substance. They're probably also afraid of the fact that | Jan 20 09:05 |
| Techrights-sec | any topic addressed even superficially is going to tread on Bill's toes. | Jan 20 09:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | IAM changed its logo, still not producing much and there's a paywall. I doubt many pay. They used to raise money from "events". | Jan 20 09:06 |

| schestowitz | <blockquote> | Jan 20 09:27 |
| schestowitz | <p>You must have heard. There is a new episode of Internet drama! Youtube has decided to remove the Dislike counter from under the video playback frame. This means that people, at a glance, do not have a way of knowing how many dislikes a particular video has received in its lifetime, and more importantly, the like-to-dislike ratio, which is commonly used to quickly estimate the "quality" of video clips. Seems like we | Jan 20 09:27 |
| schestowitz | have a problem. But wait.</p></blockquote></li> | Jan 20 09:27 |
| Techrights-sec | I'll check the automated feeds... | Jan 20 09:32 |
| Techrights-sec | ok, it was missing a module, I've re-uploaded. Thanks for spotting that. | Jan 20 09:32 |
| Techrights-sec | I'll add in an error check now. | Jan 20 09:32 |
| schestowitz-TR | thanks, will refetch when done with current version, then will remove munually curated and "other" | Jan 20 09:33 |
| Techrights-sec | The error check will be a challenge since | Jan 20 09:45 |
| Techrights-sec | the automated links are gathered in parallel. | Jan 20 09:45 |
| Techrights-sec | Worked out a trick that functions in POSIX shell. | Jan 20 09:45 |
| Techrights-sec | wait has to have the PIDs of | Jan 20 09:51 |
| Techrights-sec | the background processes in order to return the overall succes or failure. | Jan 20 09:51 |
| Techrights-sec | In POSIX an array can't be used but a string built up of the PIDs works. | Jan 20 09:51 |
| Techrights-sec | Not quite. Still working. | Jan 20 09:51 |
| schestowitz-TR | OK, no hurry. Assuming other links and the manual (top) part have not been extended since the first/initial upload, I can disregard these when retrieving the latest upload | Jan 20 09:54 |

| Techrights-sec | I'll comment out his feed for now. | Jan 20 10:38 |
| schestowitz-TR | a bit less important, but... back around 2009 he was a superstar in his area of practice/law, and was often invited as an expert internationally | Jan 20 10:39 |
| schestowitz-TR | even billBC would give him space | Jan 20 10:39 |
| schestowitz-TR | other papers too | Jan 20 10:39 |
| schestowitz-TR | then he sort of vanished, almost.. | Jan 20 10:39 |
| schestowitz-TR | when I got back to his site I found little remnants of what used to be | Jan 20 10:40 |

| schestowitz-TR | techdirt used to be super-active in this area | Jan 20 10:40 |

| Techrights-sec | I'm getting a DNS error via the normal route. | Jan 20 10:47 |

| schestowitz-TR | some American DNS servers have an entry for the subsite | Jan 20 10:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | whereas some of the European ones lack it | Jan 20 10:49 |

| Techrights-sec | markets, the ones where they may be large enough to capture the whole thing. | Jan 20 11:23 |
| Techrights-sec | Amazon is very non-standard, as are the other "cloud" providers. It's hard | Jan 20 11:23 |
| Techrights-sec | to call them hosting providers since they have so many proprietary hoops to | Jan 20 11:23 |
