| schestowitz | > Roy, sorry about that, and sorry it took me so incredibly long; that was | Dec 20 07:37 |
| schestowitz | > unexpected, and I was under incredible pressure. | Dec 20 07:37 |
| schestowitz | As many people are these days. | Dec 20 07:37 |
| schestowitz | > We got a lot of work to do on perception by RMS et al on techrights and | Dec 20 07:37 |
| schestowitz | > writings by you all. Your writing about problems in the FSF and in GNU, | Dec 20 07:37 |
| schestowitz | > whether facts or speculation, are coming across as hostility towards him | Dec 20 07:37 |
| schestowitz | > by himself and some of his close supporters. | Dec 20 07:37 |
| schestowitz | Splitting groups apart is a strategy noted in internal documents (Microsoft), and my writings are different from fig's (I disagree with him on many things actually). His are articles listed under "guest". He threw a tantrum the other day because of something someone said in IRC about nutrition, then deleted his E-mail account. Nothing to do with me... | Dec 20 07:37 |
| schestowitz | There may be anger management issues... | Dec 20 07:37 |
| schestowitz | > I know he's received advice with reservations about techrights, after my | Dec 20 07:37 |
| schestowitz | > blog post series was published, but I think most of it is just from | Dec 20 07:37 |
| schestowitz | > people forwarding to him posts that, without context, may indeed come | Dec 20 07:37 |
| schestowitz | > across as hostile. | Dec 20 07:37 |
| schestowitz | Before the coup fig sent some rather inadequate messages to RMS. I disagreed with him on that. But that's all I can do; never met him, I don't even know his first time. | Dec 20 07:37 |
| schestowitz | > I've started some clearing up, having to point out even the existence of | Dec 20 07:37 |
| schestowitz | > multiple writers with different positions, but often my attempts to | Dec 20 07:37 |
| schestowitz | > clear things up come across as hypotheticals rather than factuals, | Dec 20 07:38 |
| schestowitz | > because I can't easily find posts where I got pieces of context. | Dec 20 07:38 |
| schestowitz | It's important not to mix my writings with those of a person whom I often do not agree with. | Dec 20 07:38 |
| schestowitz | > I suppose you guys might be better able to clarify your positions and | Dec 20 07:38 |
| schestowitz | > dispell the notions of hostility. Would you mind if I got you directly | Dec 20 07:38 |
| schestowitz | > in touch with him and one very close supporter who seem to share this | Dec 20 07:38 |
| schestowitz | > (IMHO incorrect) notion of hostility directed by you at him? | Dec 20 07:38 |
| schestowitz | Yes, please do. | Dec 20 07:38 |

| schestowitz | # no new episodes since three weeks ago | Dec 20 07:47 |
| Techrights-sec2 | The mintpress feed works, is there a high enough percentage of relevant items to | Dec 20 08:50 |
| Techrights-sec2 | add it to the automated feeds? | Dec 20 08:50 |
| Techrights-sec2 | It has covered the TPP jsut now, but not so much other tech-related topics. | Dec 20 08:50 |
| schestowitz | When we checked months ago their RSS feed was broken. If it's fixed now, it's worth adding for their coverage of politics because it's non-corporate and non-junk IME | Dec 20 08:51 |
| Techrights-sec2 | Ok. It's added. | Dec 20 08:55 |
| schestowitz | I'm trying to do 2 videos per day, never with preparation other than opening the right pages, and I think those will improve over time because of experience. Doing dialogue is easier, but monologue I can cope with if it's a subject I covered before | Dec 20 08:56 |
| Techrights-sec2 | Be sure to follow up the videos at least with quick written notes. | Dec 20 08:58 |
| Techrights-sec2 | The writing is important for, among other things, the search engines. | Dec 20 08:58 |
| Techrights-sec2 | However, while there are some who prefer video, there are also many | Dec 20 08:58 |
| Techrights-sec2 | who read only because it is so much faster. | Dec 20 08:58 |
| schestowitz | Yes, I recognise the importance of text. At the start i did text, then video, now I do the opposite. One will be ready in 10 minutes, re EPO | Dec 20 08:59 |
| schestowitz | kaniini says we can work on migration tomorrow. I made offsite file and DB backups overnight (just in case, I'm out of data anyway). | Dec 20 09:00 |
| schestowitz | *date | Dec 20 09:00 |
| schestowitz | pleroma.site and viera will be back after 3-week MIA soon | Dec 20 09:01 |
| Techrights-sec2 | I haven't done backups for a while. | Dec 20 09:02 |
| Techrights-sec2 | Is it worth putting the load on the bandwidth? I suppose it is. | Dec 20 09:02 |
| Techrights-sec2 | I can do a backup run today unless it is contraindicated. | Dec 20 09:02 |
| Techrights-sec2 | It seems like there were several catastrophic failures at pleroma | Dec 20 09:02 |
| schestowitz | kaniini told me pleroma implementation was really bad with ram. I don't want to manage such pre-1.0 software myself. | Dec 20 09:03 |

| Techrights-sec2 | Spare backup drive here seems quite dead. | Dec 20 09:30 |
| Techrights-sec2 | Won't be able to get to the shop before tomorrow or Tuesday to get a replacement. | Dec 20 09:30 |
| Techrights-sec2 | No previous signs of failure. However now it just won[t mount. | Dec 20 09:30 |
| schestowitz | I have had similar experiences. Always good to keep several externals, alternate between them, mirror the same data across at least 2 | Dec 20 09:30 |
| schestowitz | A friend of mine lost my drive at his home during the move, but I am guessing he just lost track of which box it was in. It's for emergencies like house fires, last updated about 4 years ago (magnetic). | Dec 20 09:33 |
| Techrights-sec2 | Yes, this time I will get two. | Dec 20 09:34 |
| Techrights-sec2 | Yes magnetic HDD is important. | Dec 20 09:34 |
| schestowitz | Two days ago or maybe 4 I searched for more old digital things, after the webcam hunt that took over an hour. I found some old physical drives of mine, all magnetic. Unlikely I'll use them. At one point I even stored a full backup on a partition of sister's PC. I lost my data from the 90s but tbh not much of value to it... | Dec 20 09:35 |
| Techrights-sec2 | I have little from the 1990s. Mostly less than 400MB, the files were much | Dec 20 09:47 |
| Techrights-sec2 | smaller then | Dec 20 09:47 |
| Techrights-sec2 | Not too much from the 1980s either. | Dec 20 09:47 |
| Techrights-sec2 | I think the oldest files are from 1986 | Dec 20 09:47 |
| schestowitz | I did not even have my own computer in 1986 | Dec 20 09:47 |
| Techrights-sec2 | I did. It was one of the earlier Macintoshes, but I found it too locked down. | Dec 20 09:49 |
| Techrights-sec2 | That was in spite of having a lot of the developer tools available. | Dec 20 09:49 |
| Techrights-sec2 | I was very disappointed that it was not as open as the II+ | Dec 20 09:49 |

| Techrights-sec2 | I'm going to do more maintenance on this setup tomorrow. | Dec 20 11:05 |
| Techrights-sec2 | Since it will mean physical modifications it might be an hour or two of | Dec 20 11:05 |
| Techrights-sec2 | disconnection. | Dec 20 11:05 |
| schestowitz | thanks for the headsup | Dec 20 11:05 |
| schestowitz | I never managed to get soldering equipment (covid). Is there any other way to attach the hat that needs soldering? IIRC, there's only one such hat (HAT). | Dec 20 11:15 |
| *trifles has quit (Remote host closed the connection) | Dec 20 11:19 | |
| Techrights-sec2 | SOldering is the only way for that model. | Dec 20 11:21 |
| Techrights-sec2 | If you know someone with the tools, it would be easy -- if they could be | Dec 20 11:21 |
| Techrights-sec2 | convinced to do it. However, on top of all that there is lockdown. | Dec 20 11:21 |
| Techrights-sec2 | I'll probably take this system down around xxxxxxx | Dec 20 11:21 |
| schestowitz | No hurry, but... am I right to assume that one HAT can be attached without soldering? And I can leave the second one aside for later? I also want to make use of the housing as it's a 'naked' board for now. | Dec 20 11:22 |
| Techrights-sec2 | I hope to have it back up and runnning by xxxxxxxxx UTC | Dec 20 11:23 |
| Techrights-sec2 | (both tomorrow) | Dec 20 11:23 |
| Techrights-sec2 | Yes. The one can be attached and the empty pins left open. | Dec 20 11:32 |
| Techrights-sec2 | The LEDs can go on the far side and space left for the buttons towwards | Dec 20 11:32 |
| Techrights-sec2 | the middle of the card. | Dec 20 11:32 |
| schestowitz | xmas project. hope I won't fry the board in the process. Getting the enclosure fit correctly is probably something I can find info about online. I guess you already have some scripts to operate the LEDs for various things. | Dec 20 11:34 |
| Techrights-sec2 | Just make sure all the power cords are detached before working or making any | Dec 20 12:41 |
| Techrights-sec2 | adjustmebts, | Dec 20 12:41 |
| Techrights-sec2 | Yes, there is one already uploaded, I think. | Dec 20 12:41 |
| Techrights-sec2 | If not, I can upload it again. | Dec 20 12:41 |
| Techrights-sec2 | You're better with algorithms than I am so the script will probably seem | Dec 20 12:41 |
