| schestowitz | I have uploaded | Nov 20 21:14 |

| schestowitz | http://techrights.org/images/irc/text.png | Nov 20 21:14 |
| schestowitz | public domain, see directory contents for original file | Nov 20 21:14 |
| schestowitz | I believe each of us has a different program to generate IRC logs index. | Nov 20 21:14 |
| schestowitz | At your end, the modifications should be trivial: | Nov 20 21:14 |
| schestowitz | Replace the existing image with | Nov 20 21:14 |
| schestowitz | http://techrights.org/images/irc/html.png (full path is better because otherwise it won't show up when using RSS or aggregated from external sites.. including tuxmachines) | Nov 20 21:14 |
| schestowitz | Then | Nov 20 21:14 |
| schestowitz | Make the same HTML bits get generated again, this time for linking to the 4 text versions (will be uploaded for the first time today after midnight) | Nov 20 21:14 |
| schestowitz | Then make sure the files they link to are the same except ".txt" instead of "html" | Nov 20 21:14 |
| schestowitz | for image/icon, | Nov 20 21:14 |
| schestowitz | Use http://techrights.org/images/irc/text.png | Nov 20 21:14 |
| schestowitz | I think that the rest will be enough. | Nov 20 21:14 |
| schestowitz | I've just checked the IPFS bit for the posts is also OK. At the moment it shows 8 entries, we can worry about how to better present them later. | Nov 20 21:14 |
| schestowitz | IRC has been busier lately, with 65-75 people online in #techrights throughout the day and night. This weekend I'll try to do lots and lots of posts, though I work every evening. | Nov 20 21:14 |
| schestowitz | > That's a nice work-around, but I would like to find out what is at the | Nov 20 21:19 |
| schestowitz | > cause of the problem. How did you generate the string "⒯⒰⒳ ⒨⒜⒞⒣⒤⒩⒠⒮" | Nov 20 21:19 |
| schestowitz | > and can it be throwing a bad or incomplete character in the middle? | Nov 20 21:19 |
| schestowitz | Those are typically maths symbols. | Nov 20 21:19 |
| schestowitz | I could just as well replace them, as sometimes I do. But considering the possibility odd chars can come from other people, tweets, etc. we might be safer to just eliminate all the fancy chars. | Nov 20 21:19 |
| schestowitz | Is ascii OK? Maybe we should choose another chairset in iconv | Nov 20 21:19 |
| schestowitz | from manpage: | Nov 20 21:19 |
| schestowitz | -t to-encoding, --to-code=to-encoding | Nov 20 21:19 |
| schestowitz | Use to-encoding for output characters. | Nov 20 21:19 |
| schestowitz | If the string //IGNORE is appended to to-encoding, characters that cannot be converted are discarded and an error is printed after conversion. | Nov 20 21:19 |
| schestowitz | If the string //TRANSLIT is appended to to-encoding, characters being converted are transliterated when needed and possible. This means that when a character | Nov 20 21:19 |
| schestowitz | cannot be represented in the target character set, it can be approximated through one or several similar looking characters. Characters that are outside of the | Nov 20 21:19 |
| schestowitz | target character set and cannot be transliterated are replaced with a question mark (?) in the output. | Nov 20 21:19 |
| schestowitz | EXAMPLE | Nov 20 21:19 |
| schestowitz | Convert text from the ISO 8859-15 character encoding to UTF-8: | Nov 20 21:19 |
| schestowitz | $ iconv -f ISO-8859-15 -t UTF-8 < input.txt > output.txt | Nov 20 21:19 |
| schestowitz | It does not say which ones I supported and I suppose it depends on the system. | Nov 20 21:19 |
| schestowitz | Oct 31 - Nov 19 are converted and uploaded only to IPFS... as ASCII... I saw no issues with any of these (I checked at random. | Nov 20 21:19 |
