[04:07] schestowitz__ This is what I did last night. I still try to get usage estimate. [04:07] schestowitz__ BTW, I was thinking... it ought not be hard to make category pages linking to the articles, which are already in Gemini anyway.

[04:18] schestowitz__ I've just run and tested the script. Saves me some of the hassle looking up the command in an ssh session (as I've done; hitherto). [04:18] schestowitz__ I'm going to use the icon in the top menu and a new page for Gemini in the site. As for desktop icon, I have an iconless desktop. It can lead to accidents having anything other than wallpapers on the desktop. :-) ● Feb 20 [07:36] schestowitz__ oops. some from 2021-02-20 were folded into 2021-02-19 [07:36] schestowitz__ I am guessing this means no links for today, only tomorrow [07:53] Techrights-sec 2010 took a long time to collect, had to leave the collector running for many hours [07:53] Techrights-sec 2010 is over 50% larger, by count, than 2011 [07:53] Techrights-sec 2010 is now indexed [07:53] schestowitz__ 2010 was a busy year, after that I worked hard for income etc. [07:54] Techrights-sec it only affects the Other category ● Feb 20 [09:09] *liberty_box has quit (Ping timeout: 256 seconds) [09:09] *rianne_ has quit (Ping timeout: 265 seconds) [09:37] *rianne_ (~rianne@host81-154-169-167.range81-154.btcentralplus.com) has joined #boycottnovell [09:38] *liberty_box (~liberty@host81-154-169-167.range81-154.btcentralplus.com) has joined #boycottnovell [09:53] *rianne_ has quit (Ping timeout: 246 seconds) [09:54] *liberty_box has quit (Ping timeout: 256 seconds) ● Feb 20 [10:34] *rianne_ (~rianne@host81-154-169-167.range81-154.btcentralplus.com) has joined #boycottnovell [10:35] *liberty_box (~liberty@host81-154-169-167.range81-154.btcentralplus.com) has joined #boycottnovell [10:47] *rianne_ has quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds) [10:48] *liberty_box has quit (Ping timeout: 272 seconds) ● Feb 20 [11:15] *rianne_ (~rianne@host81-154-169-167.range81-154.btcentralplus.com) has joined #boycottnovell [11:15] *liberty_box (~liberty@host81-154-169-167.range81-154.btcentralplus.com) has joined #boycottnovell [11:30] Techrights-sec BTW how is the bandwidth shaping holding up on the RPi?

When the gemini mirror is complete I will make a complete backup of the RaspiSoft, then consider attaching magnetic external storage to cushion future expansion. :-) I'd need to check how to set apart backups on that drive from pi stuff as lots of personal stuff is in those backups and I don't trust the RaspiSoft with that... using old and smaller drives is risky as they're not reliable due [13:30] schestowitz__ to age and I don't want to do many backups of backups [13:38] Techrights-sec Ok. I've been keeping tarballs of the articles in ~gemini [13:38] Techrights-sec HOwever, 2009 is taking a long time to download. You were posting quite a lot [13:38] Techrights-sec back then.

They can help to maintain the flow of the narrative. Longer items of text would be presented either as appendices (corresponding to chapter endnotes in a book) or else appear in a box within the body of the text. [20:04] schestowitz__ Replies to official letters during examination do not normally lend themselves to footnotes, but I normally used to use appendices when addressing matters such as correction of obvious errors in drawings. This meant that a fully detailed reasoning for allowing the request to correct could be presented as a self-contained document without making the letter itself overlong. The requests to correct often included annotated drawings [20:04] schestowitz__ and highly detailed argumentation as to why, for example, the person skilled in the art would immediately realise that such and such a diode had been drawn the wrong way round and that reversing it was the only possible way to make the circuit operate as described in the description. I felt this type of presentation would assist the examiner by breaking what would otherwise have been a lengthy letter into more readily-digestable [20:04] schestowitz__ self-contained chunks. It usually achieved a sucessful outcome.
