| schestowitz__ | > 1. Firstly, thanks for taking it over from Susan Linton. I read Tux | Feb 11 18:22 |
| schestowitz__ | > Machines daily, and it's by far and away the best meta site on Linux. | Feb 11 18:22 |
| schestowitz__ | I have said that about Susan's site (publicly too) for a number of years now. The rest are polluted by uninteresting entries, editorial mistakes IMHO. It helps if people recommend the site to other people. | Feb 11 18:22 |
| schestowitz__ | Feb 11 18:22 | |
| schestowitz__ | > 2. Have you looked at the 'Authors Information' box on a variety of | Feb 11 18:22 |
| schestowitz__ | > monitors with different screen resolutions? The layout looks OK on lower | Feb 11 18:22 |
| schestowitz__ | > resolutions, but is not so well laid out on higher resolutions (e.g. | Feb 11 18:22 |
| schestowitz__ | > 1920x1080). | Feb 11 18:22 |
| schestowitz__ | I recently made some changes that I did not test properly. I have just tested with the above resolution. What is the issue? A screenshot might help. | Feb 11 18:22 |
| schestowitz__ | > 3. You might want to update your biography, as it looks out-of-date to | Feb 11 18:22 |
| schestowitz__ | > me. For example: "I am a Ph.D. student at The Victoria University of | Feb 11 18:22 |
| schestowitz__ | > Manchester, expecting completion in 2006". | Feb 11 18:22 |
| schestowitz__ | Yes, for privacy reasons I stopped updating my resume around that time. I added a little update beneath that. | Feb 11 18:22 |
| schestowitz__ | > 4. No offence intended, but the blue background image | Feb 11 18:22 |
| schestowitz__ | > (http://www.tuxmachines.org/themes/F1F1F1E9E9E9CACACAFFFFFF_108.png) | Feb 11 18:22 |
| schestowitz__ | > looks rather old-fashioned to me (Victorian wallpaper springs to mind), | Feb 11 18:22 |
| schestowitz__ | > especially for a technology-oriented site. I wondered whether a very | Feb 11 18:22 |
| schestowitz__ | > faint plain pastel background or a more modern-looking background | Feb 11 18:22 |
| schestowitz__ | > pattern would be more appropriate? | Feb 11 18:22 |
| schestowitz__ | This wallpaper was temporary, for xmas. I haven't gotten around to changing it, but I will soon. Can you suggest a replacement image (send replacement)? | Feb 11 18:22 |

Secondly: SystemD is a total crap, and mr Poettering gave us tons of headaches by pushing his systemd into the world so wildly. Thirdly: Debian developers are going very bad way, and there's nothing I can do about it, which I deeply regret.

| schestowitz__ | But over time, the landscape looks like this in a given city: There are a bunch of small brick and mortar book and record stores in town. Then B&N pops in, they have a fairly wide selection of books at prices the small shops can't compete with. So the small shops disappear. in probably less than 20 years. A few survive, mainly porn shops, but they have their own struggle. Then B&N cuts their selection by selling half books off the | Feb 13 01:38 |
| schestowitz__ | latest NYT best-seller list, and half trashy romance novels. The classics are in there too, of course. | Feb 13 01:38 |
| schestowitz__ | Then Amazon pops up, again, providing materials and services cheaper than B&N can compete with. Amazon comes out with an ebook reader, B&N tries to compete with it's own ebook reader and doesn't do as well. | Feb 13 01:38 |
| schestowitz__ | The result, every town has one crappy brick and mortar music and book store that all carry hundreds of copies of Fifty Shades of Grey.

| schestowitz__ | some silly proprietary s/w company pretending to be open: | Feb 14 08:35 |
| schestowitz__ | " | Feb 14 08:35 |
| schestowitz__ | In short, what's needed is a DB merge of two different but mostly similar databases, with evolved schema (where the more evolved one has little data that we're interested in. | Feb 14 08:35 |
| schestowitz__ | I have done some research into it and found that we have a few options, but they are all time consuming: | Feb 14 08:35 |
| schestowitz__ | Option 0: Use a drag-and-drop (from DB to DB) tool that's graphical. | Feb 14 08:35 |
| schestowitz__ | Option 1: Without a GUI tool (many are proprietary for all I can see) we can type up statements to create the many missing tables or add fields, populating everything with sane data. There are almost 100 tables and some have dozens of fields. The differences in the schema, however, are highlighted and they are only a few dozen. | Feb 14 08:35 |
| schestowitz__ | Option 2: We have a template to work with in machine matrixdemo. Put this machine's DB in the target machine (a temporary new FB), then: | Feb 14 08:35 |
| schestowitz__ | insert into schema1.table1 dst select * from schema2.table1 WHERE NOT EXISTS (SELECT * FROM schema2.table1 nx WHERE nx.pk = dst.pk); | Feb 14 08:35 |
| schestowitz__ | Option 3 (risky): | Feb 14 08:35 |
| schestowitz__ | Export to dump with: | Feb 14 08:35 |
| schestowitz__ | pg_dump -f dumpfile.sql --column-inserts -a -n <schema> -U <username> <dbname> | Feb 14 08:35 |
| schestowitz__ | Set skip unique for all tables | Feb 14 08:35 |
| schestowitz__ | CREATE OR REPLACE RULE skip_unique AS ON INSERT TO <table> | Feb 14 08:35 |
| schestowitz__ | WHERE (EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM <table> WHERE users.id = new.id)) | Feb 14 08:35 |
| schestowitz__ | DO INSTEAD NOTHING | Feb 14 08:35 |
| schestowitz__ | Import with psql | Feb 14 08:35 |
| schestowitz__ | \i <dumpfile.sql> | Feb 14 08:35 |
| schestowitz__ | I haven't tried this yet. | Feb 14 08:35 |
| schestowitz__ | That last bit highlights an important issue. We cannot easily override tables which are full of data and sometimes have different fields. A mixture of (2) and (3) is probably needed unless we have access to (0). Option (1) just seems quite tricky and data can be damaged in the process. | Feb 14 08:35 |

| schestowitz__ | dealing with postgres mess | Feb 14 08:33 |
| schestowitz__ | some silly proprietary s/w company pretending to be open: | Feb 14 08:33 |
| schestowitz__ | " | Feb 14 08:33 |
| schestowitz__ | In short, what's needed is a DB merge of two different but mostly similar databases, with evolved schema (where the more evolved one has little data that we're interested in. | Feb 14 08:33 |
| schestowitz__ | I have done some research into it and found that we have a few options, but they are all time consuming: | Feb 14 08:33 |
| schestowitz__ | Option 0: Use a drag-and-drop (from DB to DB) tool that's graphical. | Feb 14 08:33 |
| schestowitz__ | Option 1: Without a GUI tool (many are proprietary for all I can see) we can type up statements to create the many missing tables or add fields, populating everything with sane data. There are almost 100 tables and some have dozens of fields. The differences in the schema, however, are highlighted and they are only a few dozen. | Feb 14 08:33 |
| schestowitz__ | Option 2: We have a template to work with in machine matrixdemo. Put this machine's DB in the target machine (a temporary new FB), then: | Feb 14 08:33 |
| schestowitz__ | insert into schema1.table1 dst select * from schema2.table1 WHERE NOT EXISTS (SELECT * FROM schema2.table1 nx WHERE nx.pk = dst.pk); | Feb 14 08:33 |
| schestowitz__ | Option 3 (risky): | Feb 14 08:33 |
| schestowitz__ | Export to dump with: | Feb 14 08:33 |
| schestowitz__ | pg_dump -f dumpfile.sql --column-inserts -a -n <schema> -U <username> <dbname> | Feb 14 08:33 |
| schestowitz__ | Set skip unique for all tables | Feb 14 08:33 |
| schestowitz__ | CREATE OR REPLACE RULE skip_unique AS ON INSERT TO <table> | Feb 14 08:33 |
| schestowitz__ | WHERE (EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM <table> WHERE users.id = new.id)) | Feb 14 08:33 |
| schestowitz__ | DO INSTEAD NOTHING | Feb 14 08:33 |
| schestowitz__ | Import with psql | Feb 14 08:33 |
| schestowitz__ | \i <dumpfile.sql> | Feb 14 08:33 |
| schestowitz__ | I haven't tried this yet. | Feb 14 08:33 |
| schestowitz__ | That last bit highlights an important issue. We cannot easily override tables which are full of data and sometimes have different fields. A mixture of (2) and (3) is probably needed unless we have access to (0). Option (1) just seems quite tricky and data can be damaged in the process. | Feb 14 08:33 |

| schestowitz__ | [13:56] <schestowitz__> I think there may be some network issue; the sites can barely be reached and not even the GWvia SSH | Feb 15 14:01 |
| schestowitz__ | [18:11] <tessier_> Yes, working on it... | Feb 15 20:17 |
| schestowitz__ | [18:11] <tessier_> Something weird is going on with the network. | Feb 15 20:17 |
| schestowitz__ | [20:17] <schestowitz__> thanks for the fix, I hope you like what we did with tuxmachines.org, including the large ad banners. One thing I worked on for hours without success was merging www and no www in domain prefix. I don't know if maybe DNS something causes issue with it not working even when everything suggests that it should. I spend hours on it and I'm no newbie :-) | Feb 15 20:17 |
| schestowitz__ | [20:35] <tessier_> Yes, tuxmachines.org looks great! | Feb 15 21:02 |
