Techrights-secI am not familiar with the IPFS set up in any way. :/Sep 21 06:48
schestowitz-TRstill working to  make ipfs work againSep 21 06:57
schestowitz-TRI can run it manually againSep 21 06:57
schestowitz-TRand then you can pick the output fileSep 21 06:57
schestowitz-TRrunning manuallySep 21 06:57
schestowitz-TRok, see if the output file is OK nowSep 21 06:57

Techrights-seccheckingSep 21 07:03
Techrights-secSeems okSep 21 07:05
schestowitz-TRthanks, after you get the file I will return to trying to get the cron job runningSep 21 07:06
schestowitz-TRI didn't take notes of how it had been solved last timeSep 21 07:06
schestowitz-TRit's about the cron being able to set ulimit for ENVSep 21 07:06
schestowitz-TRok, I will carry on tryingSep 21 07:06
schestowitz-TRand taking notes this timeSep 21 07:06
schestowitz-TRas we lose that after a rebootSep 21 07:06
schestowitz-TRwe've moved a lot of the irc stuff to techpol so that politics is in another channelSep 21 07:20
schestowitz-TRso far, so good, i thinkSep 21 07:20
schestowitz-TRI also did implement some bot changes to that effectSep 21 07:20

Techrights-seciirc hv is still in need of a rebootSep 21 09:58
schestowitz-TRthis is truly time-consuming (almost all morning so far)Sep 21 10:32
schestowitz-TRbut I learn from trial and error how ulimit works in alpineSep 21 10:32
Techrights-sectuning is needed so that it can resume properly automatically on its own afterSep 21 10:32
Techrights-secany reboot, so this is a good chance to fix and annotateSep 21 10:32
schestowitz-TRexactlySep 21 10:32
schestowitz-TRthe short story is,Sep 21 10:36
schestowitz-TRthere is a sort of hierarchy of limitsSep 21 10:36
schestowitz-TRbut the error message don't help youSep 21 10:36
schestowitz-TRrootSep 21 10:36
schestowitz-TRuserspaceSep 21 10:36
schestowitz-TRscriptSep 21 10:36
schestowitz-TRcronSep 21 10:36
Techrights-seccron will work across reboots, but must be added by hand after a new installationSep 21 10:50
Techrights-secThere is now an open-rc service for the primitive IDS via tmux.Sep 21 10:58
Techrights-secSo that should come back up when the system restarts.Sep 21 10:58
*psydruid (~psydruid@jevhxkzmtrbww.irc) has left #boycottnovellSep 21 10:58
schestowitz-TRthanks, I'm still a little frustrated by ulimitSep 21 10:58
schestowitz-TRbut am feeling close nowSep 21 10:58
schestowitz-TRlast time I did not take noted of what I had doneSep 21 10:59

Techrights-secI cannot recall much of anything regarding ulimit other than that somethingSep 21 11:08
Techrights-secwas looked up. :/Sep 21 11:08
Techrights-secBusybox NTPd now enabled.  The clock should get back in sync soon.Sep 21 11:08
schestowitz-TRI got stuckSep 21 12:31
schestowitz-TRcould use your helpSep 21 12:31
schestowitz-TRno matter what I try, in scripts or in cron I cannot set Sn and Hn in ulimit to anything higher than 8KSep 21 12:31
schestowitz-TRthe script from cron still writes to /tmp/fooSep 21 12:31
schestowitz-TRI worked on this on and off since around 5amSep 21 12:31
schestowitz-TRso I feel insanely unproductiveSep 21 12:31
Techrights-seccheckingSep 21 12:32
Techrights-secDo you have notes from security.limits.conf ?Sep 21 12:32
Techrights-secA package is required for that, IIRC it is installed.  Sep 21 12:32
Techrights-secIIRC those, too, require a reboot to take effect.  Thereafter limits.confSep 21 12:32
Techrights-seccan be used.Sep 21 12:32
schestowitz-TRI reinstalled the 3 packages you had added beforeSep 21 12:33
schestowitz-TRnot sure if that altered anything majorSep 21 12:33
schestowitz-TRupdate-index.sh near the top shows many things that were attemptedSep 21 12:33
schestowitz-TRon home/xxx/Sep 21 12:34
schestowitz-TRit's called from crontabSep 21 12:34
Techrights-secWhich machine / path for update-index.sh ?Sep 21 12:34
Techrights-secIIRC it was the cron part which had the problem with ulimitSep 21 12:44
schestowitz-TRyes, I cannot set ulimit -Sn and -Hn to anything higher than 4096Sep 21 12:46
schestowitz-TRno matter what I try Sep 21 12:46
schestowitz-TRso maybe this limitation is hard-coded somewhereSep 21 12:46
Techrights-sec$ ulimit -a | grep filesSep 21 12:59
Techrights-secopen files                      (-n) 16384Sep 21 12:59
Techrights-secSo it must be something with cronSep 21 12:59
Techrights-secCan you try the cron again now?   Sep 21 12:59
schestowitz-TRthanks, will try nowSep 21 13:06
schestowitz-TRhaha!!!Sep 21 13:06
schestowitz-TRahaSep 21 13:06
schestowitz-TRratherSep 21 13:06
schestowitz-TRseems to have workedSep 21 13:06
schestowitz-TRlet's see if it completes the whole job from the cron job :-)Sep 21 13:06
schestowitz-TRmade by day, so far..Sep 21 13:19
schestowitz-TRthe page shows up ok nowSep 21 13:19
schestowitz-TRi'll clean up a few things and get restSep 21 13:19
schestowitz-TRthanks for solving it so quicklySep 21 13:19

-TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-taler.net | GNU TalerSep 21 16:54
schestowitz-TRI have not thought about this for a wholeSep 21 16:57
schestowitz-TRa) i think taler is connected to gnunet but not sureSep 21 16:57
schestowitz-TRgnunet is not yet condieered stableSep 21 16:57
schestowitz-TRb) our scarcity atm is time rather than fundsSep 21 16:57
schestowitz-TRc) we had a hailirious incident yesterday and my colleagues were lying to clientsSep 21 16:57
schestowitz-TRwhich I was very unhappy aboutSep 21 16:57
schestowitz-TRI don't wish to publicly share the details, but I don't facepalm anymoreSep 21 16:57
schestowitz-TRthat's how bad the company becameSep 21 16:57
schestowitz-TRre (b) thanks for helping, I was getting rather miserable pouring out a TON of time in vainSep 21 16:57
schestowitz-TR(the ulimit issue/enigma)Sep 21 16:57
schestowitz-TRI am racing through my ress eeds now to make time for articles/videosSep 21 16:57
schestowitz-TR---Sep 21 17:30
schestowitz-TRthere are still some junk 'articles' (parrots) about rust and linuxSep 21 17:30
schestowitz-TRsome cite sjvn, an lf (via zdnet) operativeSep 21 17:30
schestowitz-TRit's too late to turn this around, unless someone forked the kernel -- an infeasible taskSep 21 17:31
schestowitz-TRthey kepyt saying we  need to attract more newbs to kernel devSep 21 17:31
schestowitz-TRI don't see how adding a SECND language achieves thisSep 21 17:31
Techrights-secnpSep 21 17:59
Techrights-secAdding a second language ossifies the project.  Instead of one group of Sep 21 17:59
Techrights-secdevelopers of varying skills and experience, you end up with at least four:  Sep 21 17:59
Techrights-secThose good in C but not Rust, those good in Rust but not C, those good in CSep 21 17:59
Techrights-secand familiar with Rust, those good in Rust and familiar with C.  You generallySep 21 17:59
Techrights-sechave to be good at a language to spot subtle mistakes in design or implementation so few even have the opportunity for gaining a good overview.  FurthermoreSep 21 17:59
Techrights-sechuge questions surround Rust maintenance, govenernance, and control.  Sep 21 17:59
Techrights-secLT /could/ fork the kernel himself but I think they have his balls in a vice andSep 21 17:59
Techrights-secso he won't.  He still controls the trademark, too.  He could take that withSep 21 17:59
Techrights-secand use it for the fork.  There is enough corporate control over what wouldSep 21 17:59
Techrights-secbe the old kernel, that it would live on in more or less its current formSep 21 17:59
Techrights-seclong enough for a smooth transition.  Sep 21 17:59
Techrights-secOr so I would guess.Sep 21 17:59
schestowitz-TRmaybe linus thought about this already, but not aloudSep 21 18:00
schestowitz-TRmaybe you should email him these thoughtsSep 21 18:00
Techrights-secI dont know him and vice versa.  Without being able to offer any technical workSep 21 18:01
Techrights-secI think there would be very little point him getting a mail from someone heSep 21 18:01
Techrights-secdoes not know.  Sep 21 18:01
