| schestowitz-TR2 | gm | Aug 22 07:00 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | productive night | Aug 22 07:00 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | but my alarm failed to work 2 nights in a row | Aug 22 07:01 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | no big deal, sleep is healthy | Aug 22 07:01 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | I was thinking, if we convert camelcase in "readon" into "title", then adding something similar in gemini should be easy and done | Aug 22 07:01 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | in the same loop | Aug 22 07:01 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | so though I'm tempted to do this at my end, would take like 2 mins, it would not cover rianne's links | Aug 22 07:01 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | last night I checked the image uploader again | Aug 22 07:01 |
| Techrights-sec | gm | Aug 22 07:01 |
| Techrights-sec | yes. still thinking about workflow, however | Aug 22 07:01 |
| Techrights-sec | there are about 1000 hosts missing from the list atm | Aug 22 07:01 |
| Techrights-sec | tm covers a different constellation of sites than tr | Aug 22 07:01 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | during that same pass maybe links in <li<a></a></li> can also have site name added in some way, maybe like in TR | Aug 22 07:03 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | <em>Site name</em>: <A ... | Aug 22 07:03 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | it would be effoert-free once set up | Aug 22 07:03 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | Even a year ago I was thinking, we miss the opportunity to identify source names like in TR daily links | Aug 22 07:03 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | even with the very same links | Aug 22 07:03 |
| Techrights-sec | in the feed-like list? | Aug 22 07:10 |
| Techrights-sec | I'm also thinking that the lists for TR and TM should be maintained separately | Aug 22 07:10 |
| Techrights-sec | since it would be difficult to try to keep the one file synchronized | Aug 22 07:10 |
| Techrights-sec | ok | Aug 22 07:10 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | pretty much every single TM link will also be posted in TR | Aug 22 07:11 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | but not the other way around | Aug 22 07:11 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | so TM is in effect a subset | Aug 22 07:11 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | thinking about this, the camelcase list is available over the web/gemini, not just git/ssh | Aug 22 07:23 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | so overnight you could have TM updated the latest version of it remaotely | Aug 22 07:23 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | I set my side to always fetch and update to the latest before Daily Links batrch gets processed | Aug 22 07:23 |
| Techrights-sec | ack | Aug 22 07:23 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | fro the time being tm.org/git:1965 is very very simple and not public | Aug 22 07:24 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | but at least there's something basic to work with | Aug 22 07:24 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | it has like 5 times fewer files than TR | Aug 22 07:24 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | so I flattered the dirs | Aug 22 07:24 |

| schestowitz-TR2 | if it makes you feel any better (it does make me), people have become extremely cynical about MSM | Aug 22 09:11 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | a poll in the US showed how severe this has become | Aug 22 09:11 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | and it's not a "wing" thing | Aug 22 09:11 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | it's a class thing | Aug 22 09:11 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | people recognise who owns large publishera and misuses that ownhership | Aug 22 09:11 |
| Techrights-sec | Cynicism is not enough, it only drives people into social control media where they then become victim to better organized disinformation campaigns | Aug 22 09:12 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | after years of "herding" (correct term) the "masses" (like cattle) into social control media I think there's an awakening about its perils too | Aug 22 09:13 |
| Techrights-sec | yes, among some small subset of older adults, but not among younger adults or | Aug 22 09:13 |
| Techrights-sec | youth | Aug 22 09:13 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | so this is an area which needs working on | Aug 22 09:14 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | we have a lot of new "young blood" in techrights IRC | Aug 22 09:14 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | people aged under 18, who use IRC | Aug 22 09:14 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | they also use the network for secure private comms | Aug 22 09:15 |
| Techrights-sec | excellent | Aug 22 09:15 |
| Techrights-sec | IRC is not secure in any way, shape, or form | Aug 22 09:15 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | ours uses ssl, but they don't use e2ee | Aug 22 09:16 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | having said that, they rely on us not snooping on them | Aug 22 09:16 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | their isp cannot decipher things afaik | Aug 22 09:16 |
| Techrights-sec | that's not sufficient :( | Aug 22 09:16 |
| Techrights-sec | though it might help | Aug 22 09:16 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | of course also no web-based | Aug 22 09:16 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | you don't know what the server and/or the js do | Aug 22 09:16 |
| Techrights-sec | all bets are off if it goes through a web browser, the laundry list of | Aug 22 09:18 |
| Techrights-sec | compromised certificates which can be used to MitM the connection is quite | Aug 22 09:18 |
| Techrights-sec | long and the, as you remind, there is javascript | Aug 22 09:18 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | some haxor complained that the ssl is done with LE for IRC | Aug 22 09:20 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | I get his point | Aug 22 09:20 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | aka "techuser" | Aug 22 09:20 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | he brought many people his age group to irc | Aug 22 09:20 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | --- | Aug 22 09:34 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | thanks for improving url.sh, I've copied that to the working dir and tested | Aug 22 09:34 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | specifying dimensions is hard | Aug 22 09:34 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | when you just do it the quick and dirty | Aug 22 09:34 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | not automated | Aug 22 09:34 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | way | Aug 22 09:34 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | it does help get the page layout correct the first time around, before knowing anything about image in situ | Aug 22 09:34 |
| Techrights-sec | ack | Aug 22 09:35 |
| Techrights-sec | np | Aug 22 09:35 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | now, to improve the site, let's add proprietary font | Aug 22 09:36 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | 2MB of glyphs | Aug 22 09:36 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | for all the unicide and emojis | Aug 22 09:36 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | to improve those 200KB pages :-) | Aug 22 09:36 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | "web3000" | Aug 22 09:36 |
| Techrights-sec | ack | Aug 22 09:36 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | <something googlefonts...something> | Aug 22 09:37 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | even the EU government sites do this BS | Aug 22 09:37 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | and regulators warned them to at least host these fonts locally | Aug 22 09:38 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | I don't see why browsers should be in the font business | Aug 22 09:38 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | for GIMP, OK... you work in raster space | Aug 22 09:38 |

| Techrights-sec | Browsers should /not/ be in the typeface business. That is a very old sore | Aug 22 09:51 |
| Techrights-sec | point | Aug 22 09:51 |
| Techrights-sec | The web is for content not layout | Aug 22 09:51 |
| Techrights-sec | constrained layout is anathema to accessibility and, to a certain extent, | Aug 22 09:51 |
| Techrights-sec | usability | Aug 22 09:51 |
| Techrights-sec | The more the end user loses control over the presentation and rendering, | Aug 22 09:51 |
| Techrights-sec | the worse the accessibility and usability. | Aug 22 09:51 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | nowadays browsers are also pdf viewers | Aug 22 09:54 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | I never understoof why firefox wished to maintain a whole pdf engine inside their binaries | Aug 22 09:54 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | security aspects aside | Aug 22 09:54 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | there are also additional libs you need at runtime | Aug 22 09:54 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | then there's the whole video playback mode (like outside the browser) | Aug 22 09:54 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | thatg's like mplayer | Aug 22 09:54 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | I was about to type earlier (but did not) that in education they need to introduce some penalties for students who extend and extend software to | Aug 22 09:54 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | the point where the extensions cannot justidy the cost | Aug 22 09:54 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | a lot of projkects die this way | Aug 22 09:54 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | Flash use to run ok on a few megabytes or ram and most cpu | Aug 22 09:54 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | in the early shockwave days too | Aug 22 09:54 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | mid 90s | Aug 22 09:54 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | modest single-code cpu and *few MBss OF RAM. | Aug 22 09:55 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | *core | Aug 22 09:55 |
| Techrights-sec | yes, that is also inappropriate so is using the browse as a VM | Aug 22 09:57 |
| Techrights-sec | ack | Aug 22 09:57 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | wget drupal/org ... downloads ... x.x.zip | unzip ... | cd x.x. | ls -la | wc -l | Aug 22 10:00 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | how many is that by now, not even counting any extensions? | Aug 22 10:00 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | without them, not much functionality is even available | Aug 22 10:00 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | and verison x+1.x will break compatibility | Aug 22 10:00 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | sometimes the schema too becomes obsolete | Aug 22 10:00 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | within a few years | Aug 22 10:00 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | you cannot run sites for 20 years llike this | Aug 22 10:00 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | susan moaned that each "upgrade" in drupal was like starting all over again | Aug 22 10:00 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | because old things were no longer compatible | Aug 22 10:00 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | also, there's no upgrade route, esp. not if you leap 2 versions at a time | Aug 22 10:00 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | like 6->8 | Aug 22 10:00 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | 9 is already out, I think | Aug 22 10:00 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | wordpress is at 6.0.x now (like Linux this autumn | Aug 22 10:01 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | in my sites I never even touched 4.x | Aug 22 10:01 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | 3.9.x has LTS status | Aug 22 10:01 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | a mantra I always loved: "NEWER IS NOT ALWAYS BETTER" | Aug 22 10:04 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | it's newer | Aug 22 10:04 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | better? subjective | Aug 22 10:04 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | my sister struggled a lot after being pushed to move from Debian 10 to 11 | Aug 22 10:04 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | I told her to keep resisting | Aug 22 10:04 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | she managed for about 6 months | Aug 22 10:04 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | the "upgrade" meant a lot of things she was accustomed to no longer workjed | Aug 22 10:04 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | not necessarily Debian's faulyt | Aug 22 10:04 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | but "third parties" | Aug 22 10:04 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | they keep using "security" to compel endless upgrade | Aug 22 10:04 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | instead they should study how to improve security and harden/lock down stuff | Aug 22 10:04 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | cURL's (GitHub) Daniel has just mentioned the many CVEs | Aug 22 10:04 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | a blog post from this morning | Aug 22 10:04 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | I wonder how many of these are due to feature-churn systemd-style | Aug 22 10:04 |
| mjg59_ | Step one to reduce the need to update software because of security issues is to stop writing things in C | Aug 22 10:08 |
| Techrights-sec | haven't checked at that level of detail there | Aug 22 10:13 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | the new matilda as dead as assange | Aug 22 10:13 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | not officially, but mia | Aug 22 10:13 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | among other such sites | Aug 22 10:13 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | thediossenter for example | Aug 22 10:13 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | lots of wikileaks-themed sites died | Aug 22 10:13 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | not much left to write | Aug 22 10:13 |
| Techrights-sec | :( | Aug 22 10:14 |
| Techrights-sec | it was good while it lasted | Aug 22 10:14 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | now we have cnn "journalism" about "sales" in chipotle | Aug 22 10:16 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | you may seen i today's irc logs | Aug 22 10:16 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | *in | Aug 22 10:16 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | the ads became "news" | Aug 22 10:16 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | and "news" became censored | Aug 22 10:16 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | i asked eff why no coverage on epo | Aug 22 10:16 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | now that we have leaks about their swpats strategt | Aug 22 10:16 |
| Techrights-sec | not yet | Aug 22 10:16 |
| Techrights-sec | yes that has been a growing trend | Aug 22 10:16 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | I will chase again later | Aug 22 10:16 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | we basically became china | Aug 22 10:16 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | just not by name | Aug 22 10:16 |
| Techrights-sec | in practice | Aug 22 10:24 |
| Techrights-sec | I hope the EFF can be persuaded to resume coverage of and fights against | Aug 22 10:24 |
| Techrights-sec | software patents | Aug 22 10:24 |
| Techrights-sec | It looks like a matter of misplaced priorities and poor or absent long term | Aug 22 10:24 |
| Techrights-sec | strategies | Aug 22 10:24 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | seems to be a business-minded strategy | Aug 22 10:27 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | like LF | Aug 22 10:27 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | not barking up the "wrong" trees | Aug 22 10:27 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | instead reaching out for low-hanging fruit on the branch | Aug 22 10:27 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | like women's rights | Aug 22 10:27 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | women are impacted by tech issues | Aug 22 10:27 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | but tech issues are not gendered or race-related | Aug 22 10:27 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | tech in general harms society if misused | Aug 22 10:27 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | painting their activism as protecting the vulnerable MINORITIES and WOMEN means they add another layer of division | Aug 22 10:27 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | where none was needed | Aug 22 10:27 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | you now see dumb techdirt doing trump this trump that | Aug 22 10:27 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | as if certain tech issues are a trump thing | Aug 22 10:27 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | or ssociating stuff like proprietary voting machines with "election deniers" | Aug 22 10:27 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | or protecting GAFAM from "republicans" | Aug 22 10:27 |
| Techrights-sec | aka a sellingo-out strategy | Aug 22 10:28 |
| Techrights-sec | an sw patents too | Aug 22 10:28 |
| Techrights-sec | from here it looks like the race and gender issues are being used as a | Aug 22 10:28 |
| Techrights-sec | distraction to prevent criticism for having veered off track from more serious | Aug 22 10:28 |
| Techrights-sec | goals | Aug 22 10:28 |
| Techrights-sec | ALL > MOST > MANY > SOME > A FEW | Aug 22 10:28 |
| Techrights-sec | if trump were to accidently leak some gas that made a sound similar to | Aug 22 10:28 |
| Techrights-sec | a position on software patents, there are two significant populations which | Aug 22 10:28 |
| Techrights-sec | would dig in around that. One for, one against, and completely ignore any | Aug 22 10:28 |
| Techrights-sec | facts or data. For them, the issues exist only as political footballs and | Aug 22 10:28 |
| Techrights-sec | not as problems to solve or goals to acheive. | Aug 22 10:28 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | the british championed these strategies | Aug 22 10:29 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | but likely did not pioneered them | Aug 22 10:29 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | even a child could come up with it | Aug 22 10:29 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | no need for a bernays or a stalin | Aug 22 10:29 |
| Techrights-sec | ack | Aug 22 10:35 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | curious all those articles so suddenlt ybaout water leaks in the UK | Aug 22 10:56 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | see? | Aug 22 10:56 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | it's not an overpop[ulation issue | Aug 22 10:56 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | blame the pipes | Aug 22 10:56 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | there's enougbh water | Aug 22 10:56 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | enough rain | Aug 22 10:56 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | the gardens don't need watering MORE | Aug 22 10:56 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | it's the pipes | Aug 22 10:56 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | also, maybe instead of making pipes for bombs we should install newers pipes underground | Aug 22 10:56 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | but this blame-shifting annoys me a great deal | Aug 22 10:56 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | why ALL OF A SUDDENT they worry about pipe leaks? | Aug 22 10:56 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | I hear the same in other countries | Aug 22 10:56 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | pipe leake pipe leaks | Aug 22 10:56 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | if there were just 5 milllion people in england it would hardly even matter | Aug 22 10:56 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | and gardens were not yellowing due to a scortching hear | Aug 22 10:56 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | heat | Aug 22 10:56 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | with people desperate to save their plants | Aug 22 10:57 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | one strange measure I saw hours ago was, | Aug 22 10:58 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | the leaked water could water like 5 BILLION gardens.... fro 15 MINUTES | Aug 22 10:58 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | what a bizarre measure | Aug 22 10:58 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | why 15 minutes | Aug 22 10:58 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | expand to 24 hours | Aug 22 10:58 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | and then the number does not seem as big | Aug 22 10:58 |

| schestowitz-TR2 | is it OK to link to the git part of gemini.tm? afaik, there are no sensitive things like keys in there | Aug 22 11:07 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | it updates routinely on its own, using cron job in root and gemini | Aug 22 11:07 |
| Techrights-sec | overconsumption and overpopulation are exacerbated by the climate crisis | Aug 22 11:13 |
| Techrights-sec | pakistan and nigeria are some of the worst examples, though indonesia is catching up | Aug 22 11:13 |

| Techrights-sec | when it does happen | Aug 22 11:13 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | to see what happens: | Aug 22 11:35 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | crontab -l -u root | Aug 22 11:35 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | and crontab -l -u gemini | Aug 22 11:35 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | gemini does not directly interact with git | Aug 22 11:35 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | as you said multi-tenanted git users on the same machine leads to chaos | Aug 22 11:35 |
| Techrights-sec | checking | Aug 22 11:47 |
| Techrights-sec | why is list-git-files.sh root only? | Aug 22 11:47 |
| Techrights-sec | It could run as gemini:gemtext no proble AFAIK | Aug 22 11:47 |
| Techrights-sec | root should *not* run stuff out of /var/www/tuxmachines.org/bin/ | Aug 22 11:47 |
| Techrights-sec | so I would suggest 1) running it out of /usr/local/bin and 2) run it as gemini | Aug 22 11:47 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | yes, I figured you'd shuffle these around a bit | Aug 22 11:48 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | as root is not needed for webadmin-level stuff | Aug 22 11:48 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | the cron job too can be moved | Aug 22 11:48 |
| Techrights-sec | ok | Aug 22 12:21 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | copycats of TM existed ages ago | Aug 22 12:23 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | they lack the capacity and tooling | Aug 22 12:23 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | so they cannot 'compete' | Aug 22 12:23 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | with drupal at the door we can actually improve tooling | Aug 22 12:23 |

| schestowitz-TR2 | I had to change the steps a bit | Aug 22 12:45 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | I wonder if this find program will make it hard to cull directories for particular days when there are archives | Aug 22 12:45 |

| schestowitz-TR2 | you know what you want but not how to do it | Aug 22 16:29 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | can the curve fitting simulate trends based on some mathematical models? | Aug 22 16:29 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | I guess not | Aug 22 16:29 |
| Techrights-sec | R is better for stats than LibreOffice, for the most part but more complex | Aug 22 16:29 |
| Techrights-sec | and with only six data points, there is not much enough to estimate a larger | Aug 22 16:29 |
| Techrights-sec | trend | Aug 22 16:29 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | politics is a special factor too | Aug 22 16:30 |

| schestowitz-TR2 | thought: the unfortunate side effect of oem strangelehold is, | Aug 22 16:37 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | people come to think of "phones" as stable | Aug 22 16:37 |

| schestowitz-TR2 | now they just called service packs "new OS" | Aug 22 17:14 |

| schestowitz-TR2 | Spent a long time search in vain for any data on gitlab and github losing/gaining market share as chart. You'd think with all that "fake" "media" out there someone would have researched this already, but there seem to be no comparative measurements at all. They all fake it. PR and secret data to secure the PR. | Aug 22 18:21 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | There is hardly tech media anymore. PR and marketing operations that call themselves "media companies" aren't media companies but advertisers, sellouts. They literally lie, even intentionally, for companies and orgs. | Aug 22 18:21 |

| schestowitz-TR2 | <techrights-news> Even when you give the media breaking stories or exclusive info these days they turn it down because "it's a lot of work"; more then rewriting press releases (lies)... | Aug 22 18:21 |

| schestowitz-TR2 | <techrights-news> Today's media isn't just ignoring the corruption or enabling it. It's part of it, it's an active participant. | Aug 22 18:21 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | new narratives: you are a bigot supporting trump if you moan about the corrupt media; you are a bigot supporting trump if you moan about the proprietary back-doored voting machines; you are a antivaxxer for moaning about Bill Gates and Jeffrey Epstein etc. They take legitimate problems end try to associate the critics with extremism. | Aug 22 18:21 |

| schestowitz-TR2 | is that still going on, not just in reddit? | Aug 22 19:01 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | you can tell them and give links showing that Microsoft commits serious crimes all around thr world | Aug 22 19:01 |
