schestowitz-TR2gmAug 31 08:03
schestowitz-TR2is there work on the server?Aug 31 08:03
schestowitz-TR2it says things like connection was lostAug 31 08:03
schestowitz-TR2and then somr recent files (pages) are missingAug 31 08:03
schestowitz-TR2just a minute agomaybe MQTT is timing out? not sure..Aug 31 08:03
Techrights-secgmAug 31 08:11
Techrights-secnot at the moment / not for a whileAug 31 08:11
Techrights-seccheckingAug 31 08:11
Techrights-secAt least one cert needs updating for MQTT, I must have fat-fingered the dateAug 31 08:11
Techrights-secCorrect.  Aug 31 08:11
Techrights-secCehckingAug 31 08:11
Techrights-sec:(Aug 31 08:11
Techrights-secMQTT is only used for notification and shouldn't block anything AFAIKAug 31 08:11
schestowitz-TR2I think the mqtt agent has just alrted me about connection issues for git, tooAug 31 08:11
schestowitz-TR2the funny thing is that this impacts page generation, too :DAug 31 08:11
schestowitz-TR2I've just scrolled up again, seems at first one page was missing and then another page was missing, but the other was OKAug 31 08:24
schestowitz-TR2the pages are fine in gemini thoughAug 31 08:24
schestowitz-TR2checking more, seems maybe the temp files/dirs were at faultAug 31 08:27
schestowitz-TR2but that all started to happen after the MQTT issueAug 31 08:27
chunkyi wanna suck off a guyAug 31 08:29
schestowitz-TR2trolling here, too?Aug 31 08:33
Techrights-secHow long should the client certs be good for?  The last batch were setAug 31 08:38
Techrights-secto expire yesterday, which was fine for a test period but the next batch Aug 31 08:38
Techrights-secof client certificates should be for longer.Aug 31 08:38
schestowitz-TR2maybe 3 years? don't know...Aug 31 08:38
Techrights-secOkAug 31 08:39
Techrights-secI'm just concerned that if they are open-ended they can get loose.  Aug 31 08:39
Techrights-secHowever, if they expire frequently, it is a big pain.Aug 31 08:39
Techrights-secYet, if they expire infrequently, it might be harder to deal with, maybeAug 31 08:39
Techrights-seceven forgetting the situation / notes completely by then.Aug 31 08:39
schestowitz__[TR]atm the only missing page, which updating does not re-create, is http://news.tuxmachines.org/n/2022-08-31T06:58/Games_Victoria_3_Steam_Deck_Necrosmith_and_Morwe.shtmlAug 31 08:43
-TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell- ( status 404 @ http://news.tuxmachines.org/n/2022-08-31T06:58/Games_Victoria_3_Steam_Deck_Necrosmith_and_Morwe.shtml )Aug 31 08:43
schestowitz-TR2you can see from the URL what goes wrong or went wrongAug 31 08:44
schestowitz-TR2the date partAug 31 08:44
schestowitz-TR2oh, I see, the correct page too links to a bad today's howto URLAug 31 08:46
schestowitz-TR2so my guess is, new pages are created which create wrong navigation linksAug 31 08:46
Techrights-secchecking the links first nowAug 31 08:52
Techrights-secThe generator should have produced a better error when I ran the test :/Aug 31 08:52

Techrights-secOk the date error is fixed.   Aug 31 09:33
Techrights-secThanks for spotting it and sorry it slipped through the tests here.Aug 31 09:33
Techrights-secLooking at OpenSSL in a bitAug 31 09:33
schestowitz-TR2back nowAug 31 09:35
schestowitz-TR2thanks for correcting the bug!Aug 31 09:35
schestowitz-TR2i spent about 3 hours last night trying to improve frontpage mockup (and mobile)Aug 31 09:35
schestowitz-TR2the one running on tuxmachines-oldAug 31 09:35
schestowitz-TR2rianne's exam is this afternoonAug 31 09:38
schestowitz-TR2meanwhile I took note of things to do today, it seems like very slow news, rianne is suprised by this and we checked if there's some US holidayAug 31 09:38
schestowitz-TR2*surprosedAug 31 09:38
schestowitz-TR2tuxmachines still yields about 50 pages/day, the granularity changes a bitAug 31 09:38
Techrights-secAgain, I hope she does very well on the exam. Aug 31 09:45
Techrights-secI agree the news has slowed down again quite a bit.  For quite a few years now,Aug 31 09:45
Techrights-secit never bounes back from holidays of any kind.  Now with the end of summer inAug 31 09:45
Techrights-secthe northern hemisphere, it has gone down even further.  Perhaps the budgets forAug 31 09:45
Techrights-secthe autumn have been cut again.Aug 31 09:45
schestowitz-TR2I wrote 4 or 5 posts about LF yesterdayAug 31 09:46
schestowitz-TR2I hope you saw themAug 31 09:47
schestowitz-TR2one mentions the fate of linux.comAug 31 09:47
schestowitz-TR2based on IRS files from the year all people got fired except maybe spamnilAug 31 09:47
schestowitz-TR2and sheela "left"Aug 31 09:47
schestowitz-TR2as I expectedAug 31 09:47
schestowitz-TR2I only found out because I checked to see if jimbo still claims to speak "Japanese"Aug 31 09:47
schestowitz-TR2he is walking on glass, maybe he will also delete all his linkedin posts nextAug 31 09:47
Techrights-secYes, I saw.  Perhaps there is only a shell left.Aug 31 09:47
schestowitz-TR2meanwhile the guy they hired to run linux.com has been mia for a monthAug 31 09:49
schestowitz-TR2and i expect 2021 had further decreases in revenueAug 31 09:49
schestowitz-TR2to the point where such salaries are untenableAug 31 09:49
schestowitz-TR2they pay many sites like itsfoss and fofssofrce to shill the diploma millsAug 31 09:49
schestowitz-TR2zdenet alsoAug 31 09:49
schestowitz-TR2itsfoss even post this shit to tmAug 31 09:49
schestowitz-TR2i unpublished it immediatelyAug 31 09:49
schestowitz-TR2we have a "no spam/scam" policyAug 31 09:49
Techrights-secackAug 31 09:59
schestowitz-TR2in the past 4 items in TM RSS feed you can see the funny chars where slanted quotes were (in HTML)Aug 31 10:07
schestowitz-TR2maybe a filter for charset is needed for shlomi fish's module in order for it to cope with incompatibilities in data passageAug 31 10:07
schestowitz-TR2aside from that, in git the part that says atm needs changing to rss to better inform the client/browser that it is RSS/RDFAug 31 10:07
schestowitz-TR2that links to "purl" -- I assume he maintains some other specs/schema that may change over timeAug 31 10:07
schestowitz-TR2I remember that when the netscape site got "renovated" it broke a lot of things to many peopleAug 31 10:07

schestowitz__[TR]it's in git, both of themAug 31 10:20
schestowitz-TR2*not a "real" urlAug 31 10:21
schestowitz-TR2TM would be best off focusing on the DATA, not www. gemini, mqtt, rss, atom, rss-generated pages (more so than the old site, which also did this to an extent)Aug 31 10:23
schestowitz-TR2so it is about the content rather than presentation, with some sorts of apis and hooksAug 31 10:23
Techrights-secackAug 31 10:30
Techrights-secok check the feed now, it should be ok even with & and stuff like smartquotesAug 31 10:46
Techrights-secThe data in the database is ok;  With the exception of the date format today,Aug 31 10:46
Techrights-secthe problem has been extracting it in light of the quirks of various modules.Aug 31 10:46
Techrights-secand standards.Aug 31 10:46
schestowitz-TR2fixed :) :)Aug 31 10:46
schestowitz-TR2rianne has just 'complained' again that there is "zero news" in her feedsAug 31 11:02
schestowitz-TR2I asked if literally zero (technical issues)Aug 31 11:02
schestowitz-TR2she said, noAug 31 11:02
schestowitz-TR2just totally nothing interestingAug 31 11:02
schestowitz-TR2so we'll need to dive deep and get creative todayAug 31 11:02
schestowitz-TR2this is the second day in a row she says thatAug 31 11:02
schestowitz-TR2and marius is not publishing much eitherAug 31 11:02
schestowitz-TR2phoronix is running AMD brochures and picking totally meaningless commits to comment onAug 31 11:02
schestowitz-TR2people still workAug 31 11:04
schestowitz-TR2developers still developAug 31 11:04
schestowitz-TR2news is happeningAug 31 11:04
schestowitz-TR2stuff happensAug 31 11:04
schestowitz-TR2the issue is, not many are left to report on itAug 31 11:04
schestowitz-TR2so this is an investment problemAug 31 11:04
schestowitz-TR2there could be 10,000 articles about EPO in "the mews" or "media" this past decadeAug 31 11:04
schestowitz-TR2this past year the number was like one dozenAug 31 11:04

Techrights-secI'm not sure how that one occured since the one a few minute earlier hadAug 31 12:02
Techrights-secbeen ok.  yesAug 31 12:02
Techrights-secOh! The date was entered manually?  Aug 31 12:02
Techrights-secI forgot that was there.  I suppose we should leave it but better date validation is needed there in the add script.  Aug 31 12:02
Techrights-secoh, I'll fix thatAug 31 12:05

schestowitz-TR2the one missing image is due to a filename with a space in it, causing problems for xargsAug 31 14:23

schestowitz-TR2ot: I foolishly forgot that ddos protection swaps htaccess filesAug 31 15:11
schestowitz-TR2so I zapped all the redictions this morning when I ran ddos protection (needed to)Aug 31 15:11
schestowitz-TR2but no big deal, I still have the script I made for these rules and I need to improve these redictions anywayAug 31 15:11
schestowitz-TR2then I need to deposit these changes aside, didn't forsee the file being ovewrittenAug 31 15:11
Techrights-secackAug 31 15:18
schestowitz-TR2ok, I've tested all the "missing" pages and they redirect OK to static Aug 31 15:24
schestowitz-TR2the "old" site still does about 3 hits/secAug 31 15:24
schestowitz-TR2it's a very old siteAug 31 15:24
schestowitz-TR2some of that traffic is botsAug 31 15:24
schestowitz-TR2reminds me we need more navigation to reach old pagesAug 31 15:24
schestowitz-TR2and now everything is there, with 2 months' nodes all going to the new site OKAug 31 15:24
schestowitz-TR2I've added a broader wilfcord for the RSS feed Aug 31 15:24
schestowitz-TR2*wildcardAug 31 15:24
schestowitz-TR2so anything that looks like feed request goes to the active feedAug 31 15:24
schestowitz-TR2now, regarding front page, or anything near top level, I want to do some more work before planting the php fileAug 31 15:24
schestowitz-TR2maybe tuxmachines.org/index to make it consistent with techrights?Aug 31 15:24
Techrights-secackAug 31 15:27
Techrights-secwith the actual PHP parts removed I hope ...Aug 31 15:27
Techrights-secThough biased, I prefer the simpler layout a lot and would like to avoidAug 31 15:27
Techrights-secgeocitiesing it up too much.  Maybe a page below the main page could have Aug 31 15:27
Techrights-secmore options and details.  Also, it is (IMO) important to try to keep itAug 31 15:27
Techrights-secso that visually it reminds of the old layout.  Aug 31 15:27

schestowitz-TR2I've just noticed that the new rss feed does not, unlike before, have author shownAug 31 15:29
schestowitz-TR2this is not really a problem, just a differenceAug 31 15:29
schestowitz-TR2the php file would go on the old server, being a sort of umbrellaAug 31 15:29
Techrights-secRSS 2, or at least the W3C validator, requires an e-mail address for authorAug 31 15:38
