| schestowitz-TR | hi, gm | Feb 25 11:03 |
| schestowitz-TR | I wanted to ask, | Feb 25 11:03 |
| schestowitz-TR | do you have experience dealing with gemini on a synicication/subscription basis? | Feb 25 11:03 |
| schestowitz-TR | I'm new to that, but I see some people do in fact follow our capsule using the | Feb 25 11:03 |
| schestowitz-TR | feeds | Feb 25 11:03 |
| schestowitz-TR | page | Feb 25 11:03 |
| Techrights-sec | No I have not looked into syndication at all. | Feb 25 11:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | ok, how about this? | Feb 25 11:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | I look into it, maybe explain how that works, and then make a long list of | Feb 25 11:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | so-called 'feeds' for gemini so that other people can find which capsules/people | Feb 25 11:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | to follow... | Feb 25 11:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | heck. | Feb 25 11:08 |
| schestowitz-TR | we might even wish to create our own syndication list and make it public | Feb 25 11:08 |
| schestowitz-TR | iirc, spacewalk does this | Feb 25 11:08 |
| Techrights-sec | ok | Feb 25 11:09 |
| Techrights-sec | It would be an option. Is there documentation on writing a syndication service? | Feb 25 11:09 |
| schestowitz-TR | that is what I do not know about | Feb 25 11:09 |
| schestowitz-TR | iirc, there is a multitude of ways to "syndicate" | Feb 25 11:09 |
| schestowitz-TR | and no unified way | Feb 25 11:09 |
| schestowitz-TR | let aloner a unified set of clients | Feb 25 11:09 |
| Techrights-sec | And the mailing list is still missing in action | Feb 25 11:25 |

| schestowitz | I am writing to you, a valued thinker who has long observed the Net and the Web, about JoinDiaspora (and more). | Feb 25 11:48 |
| schestowitz | As you may be aware, JoinDiaspora will shut down and their plan it to help people migrate the account to other pods. All "friends" etc. will be lost, but posts and comments are supposed to be preserved (they write code to that effect, I believe). This is work in progress. | Feb 25 11:48 |
| schestowitz | I have two accounts in that pod. The Linux account (official), and my own, which put together probably have close to 900,000 posts and hundreds of thousands of comments. | Feb 25 11:48 |
| schestowitz | Lately I've been thinking whether it's even worth posting in all those sites at all, seeing that the traffic they bring is nothing like what it was a decade ago (judging by your account in Twitter and in JoinDiaspora), you too are experiencing this. | Feb 25 11:48 |
| schestowitz | Should we invest time and effort in what might be a passing fad whose time may be running out? | Feb 25 11:48 |
| schestowitz | I don't want to take up much of your time, but given you're in a similar situation a short paragraph would help me form a decision. Next Friday around 8PM JoinDiaspora goes offline. | Feb 25 11:48 |
| schestowitz | Regards, | Feb 25 11:48 |
| schestowitz | CC Rianne (TuxMachines) | Feb 25 11:48 |
| Techrights-sec | A lot of old discussions from the 1990s about digital preservation would be | Feb 25 11:59 |
| Techrights-sec | relevant to dust off and republish. Unfortunately with such services | Feb 25 11:59 |
| Techrights-sec | the preservation strategy has to be planned from be beginning and built into | Feb 25 11:59 |
| Techrights-sec | the very design. As with all things, complexity makes preservation harder. | Feb 25 11:59 |
| Techrights-sec | Migration is one well-known preservation strategy. | Feb 25 11:59 |
| Techrights-sec | however with each migration or layer of emulation, material gets lost. So | Feb 25 12:01 |
| Techrights-sec | with archives, one of the key decisions made when accepting material is how | Feb 25 12:01 |
| Techrights-sec | long it should be kept for and in what state. | Feb 25 12:01 |
| activelow | digital preservation is an oxymoron | Feb 25 12:03 |
| schestowitz-TR | as you are well aware, since pleroma.site blew up I've kept my postings from JD | Feb 25 12:03 |
| schestowitz-TR | in schestowitz.com in addition to the static file we have in techrights | Feb 25 12:03 |
| schestowitz-TR | techrights also has an extensive archive of tweets syndicated using the bot | Feb 25 12:03 |
| schestowitz-TR | built by Toby until Twitter gotr all nasty towards APIs in 2018 | Feb 25 12:03 |
| Techrights-sec | yes. | Feb 25 12:04 |
| Techrights-sec | yes. | Feb 25 12:04 |
| *Despatche has quit (Quit: Read error: Connection reset by deer) | Feb 25 12:05 | |
| schestowitz-TR | I wonder if the US LoC is still making any physical copies like printouts | Feb 25 12:06 |
| schestowitz-TR | of stuff it purports to be preserving | Feb 25 12:06 |
| schestowitz-TR | I can imagine that due to scale (it did archive tweets until a Nazi became | Feb 25 12:06 |
| schestowitz-TR | "Twitter public guardian number one") it boilds down to lip service | Feb 25 12:06 |
| Techrights-sec | Probably not. | Feb 25 12:07 |
| schestowitz-TR | viera was developed by kaniini to synidicatre over to irc/freenode from pleroma | Feb 25 12:09 |
| schestowitz-TR | I still have the code, but I think it is online already (elsewere) | Feb 25 12:10 |
| schestowitz-TR | and there is no much use to it, not even by us | Feb 25 12:10 |
| Techrights-sec | I have not looked at Viera at all. IRC is quite ephemeral. | Feb 25 12:11 |
| schestowitz | I bet to differ. IRC, USENET, and even gopher managed to preserve TONS of stuff compared to the Web (where we rely too much on IA for history). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ephemerality | Feb 25 12:16 |
| -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-en.wikipedia.org | Ephemerality - Wikipedia | Feb 25 12:16 | |
| schestowitz-TR | *beg to differ | Feb 25 12:16 |
| Techrights-sec | that is the result of services tacked onto IRC and Usenet not anything inherent | Feb 25 12:22 |
| Techrights-sec | to either. | Feb 25 12:22 |
| Techrights-sec | The relative simplicity of the technology facilitates prservation just like | Feb 25 12:22 |
| Techrights-sec | the original WWW did with HTML+CSS and *no* javascript. | Feb 25 12:22 |
| Techrights-sec | There was DejaNews for a while but it got subsumed by Google and then not sure | Feb 25 12:22 |
| Techrights-sec | how much is left of that. | Feb 25 12:22 |
| Techrights-sec | Google's archive is not so accessible. | Feb 25 12:23 |
| schestowitz-TR | yes, it has been technically simple and cheap, esp. when small (by today's scale | Feb 25 12:23 |
| schestowitz-TR | ) drives were still pricey and not so reliable | Feb 25 12:23 |
| schestowitz-TR | maybe that was a (partly) bueiness decision | Feb 25 12:23 |
| schestowitz-TR | competitive edge | Feb 25 12:23 |
| schestowitz | First the mailing list dies | Feb 25 12:24 |
| schestowitz | empty promises of recovery | Feb 25 12:24 |
| schestowitz | empty promises of resumption | Feb 25 12:24 |
| schestowitz | now: "gemini.circumlunar.space took too long to respond." | Feb 25 12:24 |
| schestowitz | I think it's not a temporary issue | Feb 25 12:25 |
| schestowitz | I think it keeps happening | Feb 25 12:25 |
| Techrights-sec | Could be. It happened shortly before Google went south. | Feb 25 12:26 |
| Techrights-sec | Yes, I've noticed that too. | Feb 25 12:26 |
| activelow | if you're concerned about digital presevation: nilfs2, disable all garbage collection, and verify checksums with some fsck utility (easily implemented) | Feb 25 12:26 |
| activelow | cannot comprehend, why any other filesystem design is considered, since when linux kernel implemented it | Feb 25 12:27 |
| schestowitz-TR | look at it like this | Feb 25 12:27 |
| schestowitz-TR | gemini is inherently NOT centralised | Feb 25 12:27 |
| schestowitz-TR | when the spec was neglected for a year other people wanted to fork it | Feb 25 12:27 |
| schestowitz-TR | that's when solderpunk came back | Feb 25 12:27 |
| schestowitz-TR | and then the mailing list died | Feb 25 12:27 |
| schestowitz-TR | so radio silence again | Feb 25 12:27 |
| schestowitz-TR | the space keeps growing | Feb 25 12:27 |
| schestowitz-TR | but there is no official news site | Feb 25 12:28 |
| schestowitz-TR | no leadership | Feb 25 12:28 |
| Techrights-sec | I can't speculate on th ecauses, though, even if the large corporate interests | Feb 25 12:28 |
| Techrights-sec | fight anything which aims to re-decentralize the net. | Feb 25 12:28 |
| Techrights-sec | Should TR set up mailman or similar and run a list for Gemini? Sympa, too. | Feb 25 12:28 |
| schestowitz-TR | it would (maybe rightly) be perceived as a hostile takeover attempt | Feb 25 12:32 |
| schestowitz-TR | I'd say | Feb 25 12:32 |
| schestowitz-TR | Let's make another "spacewalk" | Feb 25 12:32 |
| schestowitz-TR | as the original is not there afaict | Feb 25 12:32 |
| schestowitz-TR | we already routinely cover gemini stuff and news | Feb 25 12:32 |
| schestowitz-TR | a "spacewalk" would help give voice to many capsules | Feb 25 12:32 |
| schestowitz-TR | like salim announcing that fedora now has lagrange in the repos | Feb 25 12:32 |
| schestowitz-TR | mailing lists are a logistical nightmare | Feb 25 12:32 |
| schestowitz-TR | even joindiaspora struggled with mail | Feb 25 12:32 |
| schestowitz-TR | as you need to juimp through many hoops and even then | Feb 25 12:32 |
| schestowitz-TR | you can face aggressions from microsofters an gulagers | Feb 25 12:32 |
| schestowitz-TR | also, mailman archives are html | Feb 25 12:32 |
| schestowitz-TR | which is contrary to what gemini is about | Feb 25 12:32 |
| schestowitz-TR | so gnu mailman would inherently be biased against gemini | Feb 25 12:32 |
| schestowitz-TR | and cause another such diusaster | Feb 25 12:32 |
| schestowitz-TR | like loss of community';s history | Feb 25 12:32 |
| Techrights-sec | :( | Feb 25 12:33 |
| Techrights-sec | I did not use "spacewalk" so much | Feb 25 12:33 |
| Techrights-sec | microsoft will always (ALWAYS) try to control and destroy *all* projects no | Feb 25 12:33 |
| Techrights-sec | matter how small, especially if the project does not funnel people into | Feb 25 12:33 |
| Techrights-sec | the M$ market. | Feb 25 12:33 |
| schestowitz-TR | psydroid helped us understand the role Microsoft played in gemini around 2020, not just later in 2021 | Feb 25 12:33 |
| schestowitz-TR | my email is managed on my own domain on a shared RH servrs | Feb 25 12:34 |
| schestowitz-TR | they too are fighting the blacklists | Feb 25 12:34 |
| schestowitz-TR | mailing lists are not what they once were | Feb 25 12:34 |
| schestowitz-TR | we need a gemini-first approach, with web proxy | Feb 25 12:34 |
| Techrights-sec | The archive module could also make static Gemini pages, but that'd take | Feb 25 12:36 |
| Techrights-sec | a lot of storage space since Gemini does not compress the back end AFAIK | Feb 25 12:36 |
| Techrights-sec | CGI is not appropriate for Gemini | Feb 25 12:36 |
| Techrights-sec | Web proxieds are just a temporary effort, a transition fill the gap between | Feb 25 12:36 |
| Techrights-sec | now and the time when Gemini clients are easily available in the Debian (and | Feb 25 12:36 |
| Techrights-sec | derivative) repositories. | Feb 25 12:36 |
| schestowitz-TR | I am goin to | Feb 25 12:38 |
| schestowitz-TR | 1) research feeds a bit | Feb 25 12:38 |
| schestowitz-TR | 2) harvest some 'feeds' | Feb 25 12:38 |
| schestowitz-TR | make a prototype of some kind | Feb 25 12:38 |
| schestowitz-TR | maybe a "Gemini News" section for techrights which somehoe organises new posts | Feb 25 12:38 |
| schestowitz-TR | from that, later, I can cheery pick items for Daily Links | Feb 25 12:38 |
| schestowitz-TR | maybe in due course that "page" will become handy for other people | Feb 25 12:38 |
| schestowitz-TR | email does not scale | Feb 25 12:38 |
| schestowitz-TR | it scatters a lot of stuff to people who would not read it | Feb 25 12:38 |
| schestowitz-TR | conditional upon delivery by hostile hopping points | Feb 25 12:38 |
| schestowitz-TR | which can beget 'gentlte' and 'oft' censorship | Feb 25 12:38 |
| Techrights-sec | ack | Feb 25 12:38 |
| schestowitz-TR | political and business-oiriented | Feb 25 12:38 |
| schestowitz-TR | biab | Feb 25 12:39 |
| schestowitz | gemini.circumlunar.space/docs/companion/subscription.gmi down at the moment, but I believe it specifies what amfora is using or latching onto | Feb 25 13:06 |
| schestowitz | either way, we want to syndicate onto a page | Feb 25 13:06 |
| schestowitz | rather than a client | Feb 25 13:06 |

| Techrights-sec | to keep people's attention and provide deniability | Feb 25 13:39 |
| schestowitz-TR | i am not able to find any program that would take that long list of xml fgiles, | Feb 25 13:40 |
| schestowitz-TR | over gemini:// | Feb 25 13:40 |
| schestowitz-TR | and then turn that into a list of items, clickable | Feb 25 13:40 |
| schestowitz-TR | I reckon with xml parsers in poerl it would be as easy as pie | Feb 25 13:40 |
| schestowitz-TR | basically dump that list inmto a file | Feb 25 13:40 |
| schestowitz-TR | then grab one by one | Feb 25 13:40 |
| schestowitz-TR | cull by date | Feb 25 13:40 |

| schestowitz | example in gemini://midnight.pub/feed.xml | Feb 25 13:42 |
| schestowitz | from that, only a pair is needed | Feb 25 13:43 |
| schestowitz | title and URI | Feb 25 13:43 |
| Techrights-sec | Gemini is for GemText. | Feb 25 13:43 |
| Techrights-sec | The changes that have been needed in the WWW for 25 years are | Feb 25 13:43 |
| Techrights-sec | 1) generic XML of any DTD | Feb 25 13:43 |
| Techrights-sec | 2) stylesheets for the above | Feb 25 13:43 |
| Techrights-sec | 3) stateful http | Feb 25 13:43 |
| Techrights-sec | There were generic SGML rendering engines back in the middle 1990s. | Feb 25 13:43 |
| Techrights-sec | Doing XML should be simpler from a programming perspective, but it would still | Feb 25 13:43 |
| Techrights-sec | be no small task. Then the browser could display XHTML, DocBook, ODF, and so | Feb 25 13:43 |
| Techrights-sec | on. No scripting. They've squanders so many resources on scripting and much | Feb 25 13:43 |
| Techrights-sec | of that is trying to make up for the statelessness of HTTP. HTTP/3 is over UDP | Feb 25 13:43 |
| Techrights-sec | and so even the network connection is stateless, going the wrong direction | Feb 25 13:43 |
| Techrights-sec | and pushing the heavy lifting further up the stack where it is less efficient | Feb 25 13:43 |
| Techrights-sec | and more error prone. | Feb 25 13:43 |
| Techrights-sec | That's just a normal Atom feed. That's easy to whip up in Perl. | Feb 25 13:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | can you easily retrieve the object with perl on debian? | Feb 25 13:45 |
| schestowitz-TR | if so, we can easily make an aggregator in perl | Feb 25 13:45 |
| schestowitz-TR | and then use that | Feb 25 13:45 |
| schestowitz-TR | 1) for us | Feb 25 13:45 |
| schestowitz-TR | 2) for Daily Links | Feb 25 13:45 |
| schestowitz-TR | 3) for others who might look for news | Feb 25 13:45 |
| schestowitz-TR | it would also help thgose capsules through backlinks | Feb 25 13:45 |
| Techrights-sec | From the file system? Yes. | Feb 25 13:46 |
| Techrights-sec | Or do you mean make an aggregator for gemini feeds? | Feb 25 13:46 |
| Techrights-sec | It would be feasible to convert Atom and RSS feeds to Gemtext with active links. | Feb 25 13:46 |
| schestowitz-TR | yesterday was far too hectic on m,any frotns, but I wanted to do this and it caus | Feb 25 13:48 |
| schestowitz-TR | ed | Feb 25 13:48 |
| schestowitz-TR | overload | Feb 25 13:48 |
| schestowitz-TR | https://nnix.com/x/geminispace.info/known-feeds | Feb 25 13:48 |
| -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-nnix.com | geminispace.info - Gemini Search Engine | Feb 25 13:48 | |
| schestowitz-TR | some of these that I tried are offline, but you can highlight text in page, paste | Feb 25 13:48 |
| schestowitz-TR | into text editor | Feb 25 13:48 |
| schestowitz-TR | then pass through them and convert to a long list of articles | Feb 25 13:48 |
| schestowitz-TR | if they are made chronological using the data field | Feb 25 13:48 |
| schestowitz-TR | then it'll be easier to follow "updates" or "new" additions | Feb 25 13:48 |
| schestowitz-TR | I've already put some gemini:// links int eh next batch of Daily Links | Feb 25 13:48 |
| schestowitz | gemini://november.smol.pub/atom.xml | Feb 25 13:50 |
| Techrights-sec | I suppose the first step would be to make a feed generator for TR | Feb 25 13:51 |
| Techrights-sec | Keep in mind that GemText lacks much of any structure so all collection | Feb 25 13:51 |
| Techrights-sec | of metadata, including title, will have to be done manually. | Feb 25 13:51 |
| Techrights-sec | However, an aggregator can be made base on the Atom / RSS feeds. | Feb 25 13:51 |

| schestowitz-TR | lagrange and amfora deal ok witiuh such objects | Feb 25 13:53 |
| schestowitz-TR | kristall does not | Feb 25 13:53 |

| Techrights-sec | I can take a look | Feb 25 14:45 |
| schestowitz-TR | pseudocode | Feb 25 14:47 |

| schestowitz-TR | with a fetcher that uses another protocol | Feb 25 15:01 |

| schestowitz | Thanks, yes! This was the upside I had in mind. With your intuition being so, I'll keep @tuxmachines and @schestowitz accounts going. | Feb 25 16:29 |
| schestowitz | They will basically ask you to download your archive some time next month. Then you upload it to another pod and carry on as before (but another domain), so this should not be too hard. They try to simplify the whole thing. | Feb 25 16:29 |
| schestowitz | The issue was, the first pod (joindiaspora) piled up too much bugs and 'hacks' over the years, which led to huge technical debt, as they explained 2 days ago. So they want to move the active account to a 'fresh' pod. | Feb 25 16:29 |
| schestowitz | For more information see http://techrights.org/2022/02/24/joindiaspora-technical-debt/ | Feb 25 16:29 |
| schestowitz | Thanks for all the RTs in Twitter; For nearly 2 years now, as a matter of principle, I don't click anything there, so don't feel offended if I cannot recioprocate. I just export to it all my posts from diaspora. | Feb 25 16:29 |

| Techrights-sec | RSS or Atom for the TR gemini feed? | Feb 25 16:52 |
| schestowitz-TR | ah, you make a combined feed instead of a page? I suppose that's a ghood approach | Feb 25 16:53 |
| schestowitz-TR | , as turning a combined feed into html or gemtext is not hard | Feb 25 16:53 |
| schestowitz-TR | or maybe you make an XML file for the site/capsue? | Feb 25 16:53 |

| Techrights-sec | Yes, a feed for the site. | Feb 25 19:21 |
| Techrights-sec | I've added a script, gemini-make-feed.pl | Feb 25 19:57 |
| Techrights-sec | It runs manually using the settings in cron but cron seems to not run it. | Feb 25 19:57 |
| Techrights-sec | I'm not sure what to debug there. | Feb 25 19:57 |
| Techrights-sec | Once it's working in cron it can be added to Git | Feb 25 19:57 |
| Techrights-sec | The script creates an RSS feed for the Gemini site. | Feb 25 19:57 |
| Techrights-sec | Next up, the feed aggregator | Feb 25 19:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | excllent! Thank you! | Feb 25 19:57 |
