psydruidwhat was the idea behind becoming so dependent on ukraine for food and energy?Jul 22 07:24
psydruidyou can't become a rich country without feeding off some poor suckers in the east?Jul 22 07:24
schestowitz-TRverty old traditionJul 22 07:33

schestowitz-TRit's as global capitalist systemJul 22 07:33
schestowitz-TRwhere you find other people to GREATER numbers whom you can exploit and impoverished, in quantities, to pamper the fewJul 22 07:34

Techrights-sec2I like having the DocumentRoot in Git.  It seems like a rather good practice Jul 22 08:06
Techrights-sec2for manually generated files in production.Jul 22 08:06
Techrights-sec2The script-generated files are not in Git, of course, nor is the databaseJul 22 08:06
Techrights-sec2itself, but everything else is.  I'm just wondering what, if any, tweaks Jul 22 08:06
Techrights-sec2can be made to the database structure.  Not that it matters much, it's moreJul 22 08:06
Techrights-sec2of a principle thing at this point.  The navigation script's SQL query needsJul 22 08:06
Techrights-sec2some modification to cover the case where a gap of a day or longer existsJul 22 08:06
Techrights-sec2between the latest post and the previous one.Jul 22 08:06
schestowitz-TRyes, i thought of asking last wwekJul 22 08:06
schestowitz-TRif git is down, it still worksJul 22 08:06
schestowitz-TRif DB down, e.g. for maintenance of backup, things still workJul 22 08:06
schestowitz-TRour current DB has not been in need of repair for nearly 5 opr 6 days nowJul 22 08:06
schestowitz-TRthe issue is, due to lossy recovery we'd need to revert back to 27/6/2022 dump atJul 22 08:06
schestowitz-TRsome point and make copies of all the nodes posted since thenJul 22 08:07
Techrights-sec2The trick there will be to spot the gap and go back n days to updateJul 22 08:08

Techrights-sec2Ok, finding the previous post was easy.Jul 22 08:32
Techrights-sec2Now finding a way to retrofit the previous post will be more complicated.Jul 22 08:32
schestowitz-TRsorry, was away clearning the fish's filterJul 22 08:33
schestowitz-TRseems like the ngine may be warming up the water a bitJul 22 08:33

Techrights-sec2I should check his blog, I check the blogs in RSS only a few times per weekJul 22 14:16
Techrights-sec2The problem with such an exodu is that so many distros are downstream fromJul 22 14:16
Techrights-sec2Debian still.  One can only hope that some (or many) end up at Devuan Jul 22 14:16
Techrights-sec2and then that at some point the distros rebase their upstream source to DevuanJul 22 14:16

Techrights-sec2/var/www/tuxmachines.org/htdocs on news.tuxmcahines.org is now pulled from GitJul 22 17:43
Techrights-sec2in practice read-only since the account does not have write access to theJul 22 17:43
Techrights-sec2Git repository; I'm not sure about best practice in that regard.Jul 22 17:43
Techrights-sec2Yes and then pull to news.tuxmachines.orgJul 22 17:43
schestowitz-TRso we can make changes to pages by git pushJul 22 17:43
schestowitz-TRand roll back if needed great!Jul 22 17:43
Techrights-sec2the question is where the changes should be made right now they cannot be madeJul 22 18:31
Techrights-sec2in /var/www/tuxmachines.org/* at all, but I guess the groups and permissions Jul 22 18:31
Techrights-sec2should be set up so that everyone gets their own login Jul 22 18:31
Techrights-sec2and then the shared group gets write access to the repository, but that stillJul 22 18:31
Techrights-sec2leaves the generic tm account Jul 22 18:31
schestowitz-TRi set up that account to avoid being rootJul 22 18:32
schestowitz-TRwithout much planning aheadJul 22 18:32

Techrights-sec2okJul 22 19:31
Techrights-sec22nd paragraph, why is Weber the subject of this article?  Maybe combine with theJul 22 19:32
Techrights-sec21st paragraphJul 22 19:32
Techrights-sec2The paragraph """Before long he was marketing himself as an expert on the patentability of computer-implemented inventions.""" could have a short rebuttalJul 22 19:32
Techrights-sec2as to why that line of approach for patents is bogusJul 22 19:32
Techrights-sec2the sarcasm doesn't come through in """From an EPO managerial perspective ..."Jul 22 19:32
Techrights-sec2so perhaps a more negative description could be usedJul 22 19:32
schestowitz-TRyes, thanks, that part was not mineJul 22 19:32
schestowitz-TRand I wanted to reword it a bitJul 22 19:32

Techrights-sec2not compiled but added manually however, I've never had good luck with mixingJul 22 19:56
Techrights-sec2and matching like that; some extra planning will be necessaryJul 22 19:56
schestowitz-TRthere's always a wayJul 22 19:57

DaemonFCschestowitz That's a pitfall of LibreOffice too.Jul 22 21:05
DaemonFCIt implements Microsoft macros.Jul 22 21:05
DaemonFCSo a fair deal of viruses can run in that too!Jul 22 21:05
schestowitz-TRiirc, off by defaultJul 22 21:05
schestowitz-TRmicerosoft thought about uitJul 22 21:06
schestowitz-TRthen changed its mindJul 22 21:06
DaemonFCYes, it's off by default in LibreOffice.Jul 22 21:06
DaemonFCSo it would require (1) a bit of effort to "port" the malware to attack a GNU/Linux system and (2) social engineering to get the user to take a non-default action to run it.Jul 22 21:06
DaemonFCWhich is a lot better at least.Jul 22 21:06
DaemonFCToo close for comfort.Jul 22 21:07
DaemonFCI use AbiWord when I can get away with it, which is usually, and often save it to Rich Text Format.Jul 22 21:07
DaemonFCWhich Microsoft stopped updating in 2006.Jul 22 21:07
DaemonFCThe structure of RTF is not great, but it's not OOXML or Binary Document formats either.Jul 22 21:08
DaemonFCThe Register wrote an entire article on how Word would often leak out earlier drafts of the file that contained things that the author changed their mind about, or thought that they redacted.Jul 22 21:08
DaemonFCWhen you use RTF, it at least writes out a new file without previous versions present.Jul 22 21:09
