did you work on process-latest-post.sh?

Nov 26 12:48

schestowitz-TR

git says there is a conflict and it's hard to overcome

yes

it is now configured for me to just preess CTRL ALT P after making a new post and it'll do all the chores associ

Techrights-sec2

See the section within that "How to identify merge conflicts "

Nov 26 13:05

schestowitz-TR

yes, I did this earlier, hence I asked what changes were made to the file. if nothing major, we can override one

Nov 26 13:08

schestowitz-TR

version

Nov 26 13:08

Techrights-sec2

A clumsy way is to move your changed files to anothe directory and force

Techrights-sec2

a reload and then edit the new files provided by git to re-enter your changes.

Techrights-sec2

Or the last few commits can be rolled back from Git. But a merge is the

Techrights-sec2

"official" way.

Techrights-sec2

Git is designed for concurrent editing, but takes getting used to.

Techrights-sec2

I still have a long ways to go before some of that is comfortable.

schestowitz-TR

my "official" files are in homedir root, so feel free to impose changes on the tree, I'll then merge in the original and override the tree

Nov 26 13:10

schestowitz-TR

short story is

Nov 26 13:10

schestowitz-TR

I press ctrl+alt+p

schestowitz-TR

1) validation shows up for xhtml

schestowitz-TR

2) latest post shows up for final check

schestowitz-TR

3) I get the socialcontrolmedia bits in the clipboardx2

schestowitz-TR

4) it updates gemini remotely

Techrights-sec2

Which machine and directory are your changes?

Nov 26 13:20

schestowitz-TR

I change at /home/roy and put copies at ~/Git/Des* when it's worth putting in change trackers

Nov 26 13:20

Techrights-sec2

Which machine?

Nov 26 13:23

schestowitz-TR

my own laptop

Nov 26 13:23

Techrights-sec2

Techrights-sec2

Can you put you copies somewhere I can read them and then I'll merge in the

Techrights-sec2

changes and you can then just pull or fetch from git?

schestowitz-TR

sure sent by email, 3 files, one redacted for the epos(no key)

schestowitz-TR

I've relayed your long email without diclosing name, as show in a copy of it

schestowitz-TR

it's a shame that email encryption isn't a standard yet

Techrights-sec2

Techrights-sec2

ok please check tr-remote-gemi from Git

Techrights-sec2

conflict, move the curren files you have then

Techrights-sec2

git checkout .

Techrights-sec2

If moving and checkout don't work, try

Techrights-sec2

git reset

schestowitz-TR

I've made copies of the conflicting changes

schestowitz-TR

but nothing I try can get the repo back iun a good rhythm

schestowitz-TR

I tried reset and other things

Techrights-sec2

git reset --hard

Techrights-sec2

schestowitz-TR

hard reset did not work

Nov 26 14:01

Techrights-sec2

re-clone?

Nov 26 14:01

schestowitz-TR

did you change just this one file or more, aside from the spam and camelcase stguff?

Techrights-sec2

It was just the one file, back then. I have probably changed the other two

Techrights-sec2

aside from the spam list and camelCase

Techrights-sec2

When things go that badly, I usuall just rename the Git directory and

Techrights-sec2

then re-clone. It happens less often as I get more familiar with Git.

schestowitz-TR

I think I fixed it

schestowitz-TR

can you check your latest changes are in tact?

schestowitz-TR

I kept a changelog for the one file we both edited (I think the conflict boils down just to this one, I will not

schestowitz-TR

merge things manually to incomporate it all

schestowitz-TR

yes, I readded them

can you "pull" OK on your side now as well

Techrights-sec2

next time

schestowitz-TR

in the mantime we have two conflicting merges ;-)

Techrights-sec2

url.sh and tr-remote-gemini-cron-updater are untouched since last merge, for

Techrights-sec2

my part. process-latest-post.sh has been updated to include the tidying

Techrights-sec2

and line splitting

Techrights-sec2

mv process-latest-post.sh process-latest-post.sh.old

Techrights-sec2

git checkout .

schestowitz-TR

I've just checked and there are minor bugs in your version of it

schestowitz-TR

mind if we keep two files of it to preserve both versions?

schestowitz-TR

did you manage to not lose the ahcnages to spam sites and camelcase?

schestowitz-TR

good

Techrights-sec2

Techrights-sec2

Can the minor bugs be fixed ?

Techrights-sec2

Those are unchanged here AFAIK

Techrights-sec2

Long complicated lines with many parts can be replaced with shorter,

Techrights-sec2

clear lines in many instances.

Techrights-sec2

Such as --head with curl standing in for all that effort in the subsequent

Techrights-sec2

Nov 26 14:41

schestowitz-TR

he does not like OIN either, they got a lot worse

Nov 26 14:41

Techrights-sec2

Worse or just headed further in their chosen direction?

Nov 26 14:42

schestowitz-TR

zdnet likes OIn and LOT, while taking IBM, Microsoft and LF money (LF is also IBM and MSFT front group)

Nov 26 14:42

Techrights-sec2

OIN has no intention of mitigating software patents, it is there to delay

Techrights-sec2

action against them and to soften people into accepting them.

Techrights-sec2

An as /everyone/ can see and know, they have absolutely no defense against

Techrights-sec2

non-practicing entities aka patent trolls.

Techrights-sec2

Their refusal to acknowledge that weakness shows their real position.

Techrights-sec2

It's at best make-work.

Techrights-sec2

and empty-PR to join OIN.

schestowitz-TR

can we replace he private key on gemini (ssh)? While recovering I forgot to redact it; alternatively, do you remember how to purge a change?

Nov 26 14:49

Techrights-sec2

yes

Techrights-sec2

just generate a new one and drop it in the authorized_key file, leaving the

Techrights-sec2

command="" and other prefixes in place

Techrights-sec2

We really should start a second repository for items that are sensitive.

Techrights-sec2

A second branch would be ok but not in the long run. A separate repository

Techrights-sec2

would not be able to mix with the first one even by accident.

Techrights-sec2

Better to replace the key.

Nov 26 14:53

schestowitz-TR

yes, got the file open now, what command in debian to run to make a pair?

Nov 26 14:53

Techrights-sec2

ssh-keygen -t ___ -f ___ -C ___

Nov 26 14:54

Techrights-sec2

if -t is rsa then you need -b too

Nov 26 14:54

Techrights-sec2

ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -f tr-cron-updater -C "script for cron"

Techrights-sec2

then cat the resulting .pub file and place that in the target authorized_keys

Techrights-sec2

command="/home/gemini/bin/gemini-cron-updater.sh 1>/dev/null 2>&1",no-port-forwarding,no-X11-forwarding,no-agent

Techrights-sec2

-forwarding,no-pty ssh-ed25519 need to stay

Techrights-sec2

at the beginning of the line or else leave the command="" part and replace

Techrights-sec2

the no-* with restrict

Techrights-sec2

$ ssh-keygen -lf ~/.ssh/authorized_keys

Nov 26 15:01

Techrights-sec2

/home/gemini/.ssh/authorized_keys is not a public key file.
