schestowitz-TR2

yes, I have my good words and past sympathies, based on his past worek

schestowitz-TR2

I do not expect him to even contact me

schestowitz-TR2

he will hope nobody notices

Techrights-sec

That's a lame (lack of) response on his part.

schestowitz-TR2

if I sent him email to press him, it would seem like 'harassment'

schestowitz-TR2

so I think no need to go further than I have

I thought they had several declines earlier and where propped up by shilling

Techrights-sec

in mainstream media, playing up FOMO

schestowitz-TR

or, as was reported before, looking to compensate or make up

schestowitz-TR

by expanding in plces like arfrca with internet drones

or pushing through zero-rating in south and southeast asia

Techrights-sec

Yes, zero-rating

Techrights-sec

Yes, zero-rating

I still need to fix http://techrights.org/git/ some days ago I noticed that this gateway/www proxy, while it generally works when you visit it, does not work, either as iframe or for our capsule. Not sure why... same for http://techrights.org/gemini "The server sent an empty response" = added to list of exclusions at their end?

schestowitz-TR

i did wonder if this was a bug, first noticed about a week

schestowitz-TR

ago, I hope it would go away...

schestowitz-TR

or deliberate culling of our domain

Techrights-sec

probably a bug

Feb 03 15:12

schestowitz-TR

so i could

Feb 03 15:12

schestowitz-TR

1) wait longer

schestowitz-TR

2) report to him

3) replace with vulpes.one or similar

Hi Kevin, thanks for providing an excellent gateway/www proxy, which we use in some places such as http://techrights.org/git/ http://techrights.org/gemini about a week ago I noticed that the gateway stopped working with/for our capsule. Other capsules work OK. Was this a deliberate change? Or maybe a bug? Regards,

hi,

Feb 03 16:31

schestowitz-TR

do you think it is worth making an archive gmi page for past stas to shorten the

Feb 03 16:31

schestowitz-TR

stats page?

schestowitz-TR

or not yet?

schestowitz-TR

I reckon I can do this in 1-20 mins

schestowitz-TR

it would mostly make the stats page shorter and tidier, maybe, assuming this

schestowitz-TR

will grow to undreds of lines

Techrights-sec

ack

Techrights-sec

sure if it saves work or time or space

Techrights-sec

ok better to have it truncate and the old stats off to the side

Techrights-sec

on their own set of pages

schestowitz-TR

ok, maybe page for each month?

Feb 03 16:33

Techrights-sec

sounds ok

schestowitz-TR

did you open with vim 8.1 show-new-visitors-count.sh?

schestowitz-TR

the system alerts me it is open already somewhere and I don't use vim

Techrights-sec

Techrights-sec

the lockfile can be removed since I have no vi or vim sessions open atm

Feb 03 16:41

schestowitz

ok, I also did some digging

Feb 03 16:49

schestowitz

from what I can gather, some time weeks ago you tidied up things like indentation in that file in the pi and did not push to git, so I've just done that

Feb 03 16:50

schestowitz

run git show to see and tell me if that makes sense

the 'tail's of the page is now offloaded to a separate page

but that page will needlessly be generated again after 10 minutes

also, years are hard-coded

my guess is, systemd got baffled by the unit vanishing
