| schestowitz-TR | gulag search has begun indexing and presenting pertinent pages in new.tm | Aug 06 08:02 |
|---|---|---|
| schestowitz-TR | I'm just checking as you said they would not be indexing new sites, or barely | Aug 06 08:02 |
| schestowitz-TR | I think it follows links from IRC logs | Aug 06 08:02 |
| schestowitz-TR | rianne has gotten comfortable with the submission process | Aug 06 08:02 |
| schestowitz-TR | yesterday she got stuck and DB was locked again when she gave up | Aug 06 08:02 |
| schestowitz-TR | turns out it was ampersand | Aug 06 08:02 |
| schestowitz-TR | sometimes they are inside URLs and sometimes no spaces between them | Aug 06 08:02 |
| schestowitz-TR | I told her to find them and change/remove them | Aug 06 08:02 |
| schestowitz-TR | gm, cheers fore the links | Aug 06 08:31 |
| Techrights-sec | np | Aug 06 08:32 |
| Techrights-sec | tidy produces some warnings, but they are maybe not the easiest to spot | Aug 06 08:32 |
| Techrights-sec | the locking in sqlite3 is quite simplified but it is important | Aug 06 08:32 |
| schestowitz-TR | I've found a new way o show in context android vs windows | Aug 06 08:32 |
| schestowitz-TR | today I'll look closely into the pi and how to make it work better esp. ipfs | Aug 06 08:32 |
| schestowitz-TR | wow, today just 3 new items in counterpunch rss feeds | Aug 06 08:37 |
| schestowitz-TR | there used to be like 50 or more | Aug 06 08:37 |
| schestowitz-TR | btw, when tuxmachines has rss feed (I saw you started coding it yesterday) we can submit that to some sites | Aug 06 08:37 |
| schestowitz-TR | and give it visibility | Aug 06 08:37 |
| schestowitz-TR | last night I did a 2-min video about linuxtoday | Aug 06 08:37 |
| schestowitz-TR | it has since then published 2 more webspam | Aug 06 08:37 |
| Techrights-sec | ack | Aug 06 08:45 |
| Techrights-sec | yes, but we should probably be blocking the spiders until the site is in | Aug 06 08:45 |
| Techrights-sec | production, it is not wise to drive traffic to a site still in late alpha | Aug 06 08:45 |
| Techrights-sec | stage | Aug 06 08:45 |
| Techrights-sec | btw EXT ACLs needed adjusting again. EXT sure is difficult in a shared context | Aug 06 08:45 |
| Techrights-sec | afaik nowhere else has used MQTT for Git notifications | Aug 06 08:45 |
| schestowitz-TR | it is very plausable as many things we do in TR and TM we do for the first time esp. in the context of gemini and to some extent ipfs | Aug 06 08:46 |
| schestowitz-TR | because they're young and small | Aug 06 08:46 |
| schestowitz-TR | on www, doing things first or being first is harder because it's hard to keep track of everything that goes on there | Aug 06 08:46 |
| schestowitz-TR | even in irc we 'innovated' a number of things | Aug 06 08:46 |
| schestowitz-TR | but not something truly major | Aug 06 08:46 |
| schestowitz-TR | you can add something on top of an existing protocol or combined protocol | Aug 06 08:46 |
| schestowitz-TR | like using gemini to give an up-toi-date index of hashes for ipfs | Aug 06 08:46 |
| schestowitz-TR | when you push to git the system bell and visible popup in knotify will tell me | Aug 06 08:46 |
| schestowitz-TR | then I run the script to see, with colour, all the latest changes in the two repos | Aug 06 08:46 |
| schestowitz-TR | *plausible | Aug 06 08:46 |
| Techrights-sec | yes | Aug 06 08:48 |
| Techrights-sec | one could make a public MQTT broker, one where the clients don't have to | Aug 06 08:48 |
| Techrights-sec | identify themselves, and use it to push a subset of RSS :/ | Aug 06 08:48 |
| Techrights-sec | nice | Aug 06 08:48 |
| schestowitz-TR | what you said about public mqtt broker occurred to me ysterday | Aug 06 08:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | rss with less bandiwith | Aug 06 08:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | push versus pull | Aug 06 08:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | like push notifications, but for site updates with another protcol | Aug 06 08:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | I forgot the name of the protocol of push notification, there are at least a couple | Aug 06 08:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | vis-a-vis gitlab is canning many projects to "save" 11 million a year | Aug 06 08:52 |
| schestowitz-TR | all that social control media loss leader BS | Aug 06 08:52 |
| schestowitz-TR | they were used to give people push notifications to their fake friends | Aug 06 08:52 |
| schestowitz-TR | over phoens etc. | Aug 06 08:52 |
| schestowitz-TR | at cost of abndwidth | Aug 06 08:52 |
| schestowitz-TR | but those people are now locked in to that vendor-specific push notif "disservice | Aug 06 08:52 |
| schestowitz-TR | so they cannot quit | Aug 06 08:52 |
| schestowitz-TR | or, if they do, their 'friends' ' "phones" will no longer notify them | Aug 06 08:52 |
| schestowitz-TR | so people must learn to | Aug 06 08:52 |
| schestowitz-TR | a) self host (it's not free) | Aug 06 08:52 |
| schestowitz-TR | (see gitlab) | Aug 06 08:52 |
| schestowitz-TR | b) do theior own notifications, e.g. blog doamin with rss, do not outsoutce. gulag youtube no longer notified ssubscribers, it's not as addictive as | Aug 06 08:52 |
| schestowitz-TR | aujtoplay at end and "suggestions" | Aug 06 08:52 |
| schestowitz-TR | and infinite scrolls | Aug 06 08:52 |
| Techrights-sec | yes, http is an inefficient wrapper | Aug 06 08:53 |
| Techrights-sec | but it would require an MQTT client as a browser pluging and I'm not sure | Aug 06 08:53 |
| Techrights-sec | what the upper limit on connections would be at the broker level. | Aug 06 08:53 |
| Techrights-sec | There is a test broker which sees heavy traffic: | Aug 06 08:53 |
| Techrights-sec | https://test.mosquitto.org/ | Aug 06 08:53 |
| -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-test.mosquitto.org | Aug 06 08:53 | |
| schestowitz-TR | re mosquitto, I don't know the protocol | Aug 06 08:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | but I can imagine it habitually pings the clients to make sure it's still alive and the IP address is still current | Aug 06 08:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | so that when there's a message on $topic, it'll send a notification to all the right sessions, if they're not expired | Aug 06 08:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | so there must be some "pulses" going on even when there is no update to send | Aug 06 08:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | there are other factors that evade me atm, but those protocols suck because they give ytou stuff TODO | Aug 06 08:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | evcen when you're not prepared, not when you actually ask for any | Aug 06 08:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | that's why I check my email; at most once a day | Aug 06 08:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | rss: "boss, I'm free now. give me work please." | Aug 06 08:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | notifications/email always-on: "danny, sorry for interrupting you, I have another thing for you to do" | Aug 06 08:57 |
| Techrights-sec | mosquitto is one set of programs, MQTT is the protoco. It's rather simple. | Aug 06 08:58 |
| Techrights-sec | if I understand correctly it mainly uses TCP itself to maintain the connection | Aug 06 08:58 |
| Techrights-sec | yes push vs pull | Aug 06 08:58 |
| Techrights-sec | one of the reasons the Web took off was because it was pull | Aug 06 08:58 |
| schestowitz-TR | brb, handover at work | Aug 06 09:00 |
| schestowitz-TR | email can be "pull" also | Aug 06 09:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | it used to be in the dial-up era | Aug 06 09:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | guess which is more addictive, more stressful, and which harms productivity | Aug 06 09:01 |
| Techrights-sec | yes but too many idiots mistake webmail for e-mail and due to the inconvenience | Aug 06 09:02 |
| Techrights-sec | of web mail, combined with them leaving it on 24/7, mistake e-mail for being | Aug 06 09:02 |
| Techrights-sec | difficult. They are confusing terrible client software with the protocol itself | Aug 06 09:02 |
| Techrights-sec | and GAFAM aims to make that confusion worse in an apparent attempt to gain | Aug 06 09:02 |
| Techrights-sec | control over the relevant protocols and turn them into a proprietary service | Aug 06 09:02 |
| Techrights-sec | which they alone control and monitor | Aug 06 09:02 |
| Techrights-sec | ack | Aug 06 09:02 |
| schestowitz-TR | done | Aug 06 09:12 |
| schestowitz-TR | free again | Aug 06 09:12 |
| schestowitz-TR | what I'd like to know is | Aug 06 09:12 |
| schestowitz-TR | and I've said it out loud for 3-4 years already | Aug 06 09:12 |
| schestowitz-TR | where are people "online" going? | Aug 06 09:12 |
| schestowitz-TR | no doubt the www is perishing | Aug 06 09:12 |
| schestowitz-TR | I think because of 'webapps' and 'apps' | Aug 06 09:12 |
| schestowitz-TR | but I'm out of touch | Aug 06 09:12 |
| schestowitz-TR | because I did not embrace fashionable consumerism | Aug 06 09:12 |
| schestowitz-TR | so I don't know what tiktok and "apps" are like in 2022 | Aug 06 09:12 |
| schestowitz-TR | it's like asking rms about systemd | Aug 06 09:12 |
| schestowitz-TR | (he said he never installed gnu/linux himself) | Aug 06 09:12 |
| schestowitz-TR | or asking the amish about tractors | Aug 06 09:13 |
| Techrights-sec | ack | Aug 06 09:18 |
| schestowitz-TR | rms has been very focused on giving talks | Aug 06 09:18 |
| schestowitz-TR | and studying threats | Aug 06 09:18 |
| schestowitz-TR | which is fair enough | Aug 06 09:18 |
| schestowitz-TR | he lets the others help him with technical things, inc. operationg (they're like his "shabbos goys") | Aug 06 09:18 |
| schestowitz-TR | but when it comes to some of those "phone" things I too must admit, I'm in the dark | Aug 06 09:18 |
| schestowitz-TR | also, I never saw a spy meter | Aug 06 09:18 |
| schestowitz-TR | but the main concern is, 1) they are NOT needed 2) they will get worse over time (more sensors) | Aug 06 09:19 |
| schestowitz-TR | with routers you could argue there is a necessity | Aug 06 09:19 |
| schestowitz-TR | spy meters are an extension to the router which exists for a single purpose that's not requiring yet another piece of ewaste | Aug 06 09:19 |
| Techrights-sec | ack | Aug 06 09:22 |
| Techrights-sec | probably | Aug 06 09:22 |
| Techrights-sec | one contributing factor is the load that idle wall warts put on the grid | Aug 06 09:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | this morning in geminispace (latest, planet) | Aug 06 09:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | I read not one but two posts on energy problems | Aug 06 09:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | more connection and electric issues | Aug 06 09:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | combined with what rianne told me about the tram and outages in shops | Aug 06 09:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | I'm starting to wonder if there's an energy crisis the media says too little about | Aug 06 09:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | and it not limited just to price | Aug 06 09:23 |
| schestowitz-TR | I can find you the two gemini:// links | Aug 06 09:23 |
| schestowitz-TR | I put them in the irc channel actualluy | Aug 06 09:23 |
| schestowitz-TR | I hope out Network/Internet uptime will still be good and no UPS will be needed | Aug 06 09:23 |
| schestowitz-TR | UPS = more manufacturing (waste), much like A/C to 'combat' heating | Aug 06 09:24 |
| schestowitz-TR | then it draws up some power | Aug 06 09:24 |
| schestowitz-TR | they tell us spy meters will help save energy | Aug 06 09:24 |
| schestowitz-TR | as if they're made out of thin air and run on "thetans" | Aug 06 09:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | (same for EVs) | Aug 06 09:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | our current router (installed january 2021 IIRC, after our complaints; the engineer told us to demand a new one) has very good uptime | Aug 06 09:28 |
| schestowitz-TR | and no network hangups, or very rare ones | Aug 06 09:28 |
| schestowitz-TR | I don't take this for granted; it wasn't like this before | Aug 06 09:28 |
| schestowitz-TR | the upstream provider (ISP) has also been OK since then | Aug 06 09:28 |
| schestowitz-TR | when I had networ problem it was electic outage or my own mistakes (or oven triggering a fuse) | Aug 06 09:28 |
| schestowitz-TR | "you don't appreciate things... until you lose them..." | Aug 06 09:28 |
| schestowitz-TR | "Since I've started hosting shit.cx from home, my internet and electricity has been more unreliable than ever." gemini://shit.cx/tech/meta/2022-08-05-so-much-downtime-/ | Aug 06 09:28 |
| Techrights-sec | ack | Aug 06 09:32 |
| schestowitz-TR | I exported my own router settings (less than 150 lines) to a file | Aug 06 09:37 |
| schestowitz-TR | it lets you save the most hedious sort of file you even saw | Aug 06 09:37 |
| schestowitz-TR | it's like a soup of binary and ascii | Aug 06 09:37 |
| schestowitz-TR | but you can see bits and bobs that you put in | Aug 06 09:37 |
| schestowitz-TR | they don't use ini or json or xml | Aug 06 09:37 |
| schestowitz-TR | it's ridiculous | Aug 06 09:37 |
| schestowitz-TR | I saved these last summer when they "tried" to= put us on fibre (first home in this area) | Aug 06 09:37 |
| schestowitz-TR | and I wanted to be able to import the same stuff into the "new" router | Aug 06 09:37 |
| schestowitz-TR | which looks exactly the same, except minor differencee | Aug 06 09:37 |
| schestowitz-TR | and BT gave me conflicting messages about compatibility | Aug 06 09:37 |
| schestowitz-TR | either way, they seemed unready to support this new service | Aug 06 09:37 |
| schestowitz-TR | and I reckoned as an "experiment" I would get worse services | Aug 06 09:38 |
| schestowitz-TR | lack of expirtise and effect on only one user, not whole block of homes | Aug 06 09:38 |
| schestowitz-TR | they compensated us almost 100 pounds for all the trouble | Aug 06 09:38 |
| schestowitz-TR | we still have the fibre equipment, not connected to the socket, inside the home | Aug 06 09:38 |
| schestowitz-TR | it'll come in handy as this sort of service matures sufficiently | Aug 06 09:38 |
| Techrights-sec | JSON? | Aug 06 09:38 |
| schestowitz-TR | not json | Aug 06 09:43 |
| schestowitz-TR | I could send you the file, but somewhere in it there are likely passwords | Aug 06 09:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | without power, you typically can have no connections | Aug 06 09:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | without connections you could still have power | Aug 06 09:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | the other day (tue.) when the power was off I went us to be productive | Aug 06 09:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | rianne said that she'd rather have no power than no running water | Aug 06 09:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | but in winter you cannot bathe without some level of water heating | Aug 06 09:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | call me sceptics or paranoid, but jusding by trends I read about, cost won't be the sole issue | Aug 06 09:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | when it comes to CLEAN water being available or a steadfy flow of power | Aug 06 09:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | In african there is this thing called GPL that showed up in my feeds | Aug 06 09:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | they have lots of outages and sometimes even planned blackouts | Aug 06 09:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | like, you need to prepare for times of the day without power | Aug 06 09:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | and charge applicance accordingly | Aug 06 09:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | this, to me, is a whole new concept/monster | Aug 06 09:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | power "share" or rationing | Aug 06 09:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | I'd hate to live in a world with water rationing | Aug 06 09:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | at the moment they just have things like "hose bans" | Aug 06 09:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | you sent me a link about spain trying to limit or police A/C thermostats | Aug 06 09:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | maybe first in public places where enforcers can go | Aug 06 09:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | maybe later in proprietary firmware.. | Aug 06 09:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | spy meters come to mind here | Aug 06 09:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | why you might NOT want to have one | Aug 06 09:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | give me the bits (network) | Aug 06 09:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | give me water | Aug 06 09:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | give me voltage | Aug 06 09:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | how it's used is my own gaddamn business | Aug 06 09:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | --- | Aug 06 09:53 |
| schestowitz-TR | rianne said that in mindanao they used to have power rationing or outtage hours (planned) | Aug 06 09:53 |
| schestowitz-TR | and in manila is there's elnino they do awater ratiuoning too | Aug 06 09:53 |
| Techrights-sec | water distribution is becoming more unsteady and uneven | Aug 06 09:54 |
| Techrights-sec | in places which still have water it is coming more often in large doses | Aug 06 09:54 |
| Techrights-sec | rather than spread out over time | Aug 06 09:54 |
| Techrights-sec | many place have had power rationing but in many situations it is due to | Aug 06 09:54 |
| Techrights-sec | privatization because it is not profitable to deploy more capacity until | Aug 06 09:54 |
| Techrights-sec | there is more demand. Brownouts, however, destroy equipment, even heavy | Aug 06 09:54 |
| Techrights-sec | stuff like refrigerators | Aug 06 09:54 |
| Techrights-sec | again the various wastages cause problems with load; | Aug 06 09:54 |
| Techrights-sec | at the scale that "smartphones" are deployed worldwide, and given that | Aug 06 09:54 |
| Techrights-sec | they need to be recharged muliptle times per day, they are collectively | Aug 06 09:54 |
| Techrights-sec | probably one of the world's largest drains on the grid | Aug 06 09:54 |
| Techrights-sec | ... if considered as a single line item | Aug 06 09:54 |
| schestowitz-TR | btw, did you see the post about android in africa? | Aug 06 09:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | wow, 18% windows... no wonder the media is too busy harping about "chrome OS" vs "Windows" | Aug 06 09:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | living in a more GAFAM universe where everyone can blow $1000 on a laptop instead of | Aug 06 09:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | a budget $100 "smart" phone from "belt and braces" land | Aug 06 09:57 |
| Techrights-sec | "tracking devices which also happen to make calls" | Aug 06 09:58 |
| schestowitz-TR | rianne now telling me rocking firdge stories | Aug 06 10:03 |
| schestowitz-TR | due to unsteady power levels in some places | Aug 06 10:03 |
| schestowitz-TR | you know, last week I tried to recall who came up with that sentence | Aug 06 10:03 |
| schestowitz-TR | not sure if it was ioerror, or me (maybe he repeated me), or rms, or maybe we all borrowed that from someone else | Aug 06 10:03 |
| schestowitz-TR | rms said "stalin's dream" | Aug 06 10:03 |
| schestowitz-TR | "also happen to make calls" is jake | Aug 06 10:03 |
| schestowitz-TR | but maybe inspired by something he had read from me | Aug 06 10:03 |
| schestowitz-TR | it's not important anyway | Aug 06 10:03 |
| schestowitz-TR | I can at least say I popularised some terms, not big like "brexit" | Aug 06 10:03 |
| schestowitz-TR | but still... changing how people communicate issues and the vocabulary helps tackle issues | Aug 06 10:03 |
| schestowitz-TR | openwashing became more widespread | Aug 06 10:03 |
| schestowitz-TR | fauxopen never caught on sflc said "giveUpGithub" | Aug 06 10:03 |
| Techrights-sec | "tracking devices which also happen to make calls" | Aug 06 10:03 |
| Techrights-sec | I think it was jake | Aug 06 10:03 |
| Techrights-sec | at least he was the first early on | Aug 06 10:03 |
| Techrights-sec | ack | Aug 06 10:03 |
| schestowitz-TR | I wondered the same and I assumed it was coined by him, based on nothing but me seeing him adopting and using the term a lot | Aug 06 10:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | masnick did a number of important things/contributions in the vocabulary sense, but like godwin with "godwin's law" | Aug 06 10:10 |
| schestowitz-TR | masnick did "streisand effect" | Aug 06 10:10 |
| schestowitz-TR | which is still in use to this dy | Aug 06 10:10 |
| schestowitz-TR | of course techdirt lost much of the influence it had in the golden era of the web after msie was elbowed aside | Aug 06 10:10 |
| Techrights-sec | ack | Aug 06 10:10 |
| Techrights-sec | I should read techdirt more often. When he sticks to purely technical matters | Aug 06 10:10 |
| Techrights-sec | he and tech policy, he is quite good. But on other topics he exhibits some | Aug 06 10:10 |
| Techrights-sec | signs of severe social control media poisoning | Aug 06 10:10 |
| schestowitz-TR | he or his colleagues are sceptical of regulations and too defensive of 1) gafam 2) social control media | Aug 06 10:16 |
| schestowitz-TR | calling everything a "panic" even where legitimate concerns do exist | Aug 06 10:16 |
| schestowitz-TR | I don't read techdirt outside of kate text editor, so I honestly don't know who writes what | Aug 06 10:16 |
| schestowitz-TR | I don't even know if moody sitll writes there | Aug 06 10:16 |
| schestowitz-TR | observation: techdirt used to get over 200 comments per post, for good posts at least | Aug 06 10:16 |
| schestowitz-TR | nowadays it's often less than a dozen... last I checkede | Aug 06 10:16 |
| schestowitz-TR | but techdirt does not do irc and never did irc | Aug 06 10:16 |
| schestowitz-TR | so for mike and co to receive feedback from readers they rely too much on sh*t like twitter | Aug 06 10:16 |
| schestowitz-TR | and are unable to let go | Aug 06 10:16 |
| schestowitz-TR | feedback is importat | Aug 06 10:16 |
| schestowitz-TR | I don't know the words to explain the phenomenon | Aug 06 10:16 |
| schestowitz-TR | but writing to a wall or getting no sensory feedback is hard | Aug 06 10:16 |
| schestowitz-TR | even if you know someone reads it | Aug 06 10:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | like publishing a book, not knowing anything except how many copies were printed (not sold) | Aug 06 10:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | and what the readrs thing | Aug 06 10:17 |

| schestowitz-TR | self-hosting is better for self-taught, skilling etc. imho | Aug 06 10:43 |
| schestowitz-TR | too many people skip many stages by just "opening an account" | Aug 06 10:43 |
| schestowitz-TR | e.g. vps | Aug 06 10:43 |
| schestowitz-TR | and come to assume a lot about netblocks, hardware etc. | Aug 06 10:43 |
| schestowitz-TR | so they can never properly provision and do things | Aug 06 10:43 |
| schestowitz-TR | mind you, I was never sys admin | Aug 06 10:43 |
| schestowitz-TR | I'm a programmer | Aug 06 10:43 |
| schestowitz-TR | not very pracitising since my phd days | Aug 06 10:43 |
| schestowitz-TR | as I do more writing | Aug 06 10:43 |
| schestowitz-TR | but being "dev op" (bs term) means you have more control over the stack | Aug 06 10:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | some "ops", like oiaohm, cannot do any programming | Aug 06 10:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | some "users", like daemonfc, can't do dev or ops | Aug 06 10:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | but still "get" a lot of tech | Aug 06 10:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | toay's uni grads probably get the worst of all worlds | Aug 06 10:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | a) accounts, not self-hosting | Aug 06 10:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | (e.g. gmail, aws) | Aug 06 10:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | b) fake programming ("frameworks"), not even "swing" in java but stuff like vue.js and electron | Aug 06 10:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | c) windows, "apps" etc. | Aug 06 10:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | so basically they end up paceled off to GAFAM-ish "IMPOSED-FROM-ABOVE" agenda | Aug 06 10:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | and therefore aren't employable by companies that actually get stuff done | Aug 06 10:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | unpopular theory: | Aug 06 10:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | computers are being made worse | Aug 06 10:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | and programming tools too | Aug 06 10:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | among other stuff | Aug 06 10:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | to take back power from the "people" | Aug 06 10:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | and weaken resistance or unionisation, leaking without consequences | Aug 06 10:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | as it's assumed that people were given "too powerful" or general-purpose computiong | Aug 06 10:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | and now it's time to disemplower them by presenting them with inferior but "UX" (cargo cult) toys | Aug 06 10:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | like AWS accounts instead of an environment one can control (in 2010 already AAWS kicked out wikileaks; iirc, aws was not even profitable back then) | Aug 06 10:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | chats are being centralised and people's clients are not making secure connections | Aug 06 10:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | because "kids somethjing,,,," or "terror attacks" | Aug 06 10:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | whether it is all planned and deliberate would be difficult to prove (who? wef? nato? where is the "conspiracy") | Aug 06 10:49 |

| Techrights-sec | I would suspect that to be the case, too | Aug 06 10:50 |
| Techrights-sec | the proprietary "cloud" stuff falls under that umbrella too | Aug 06 10:50 |
| Techrights-sec | it takes away the commodity nature of the systems | Aug 06 10:50 |
| Techrights-sec | note that accidentally at first all the anti-spam measures have done nothing | Aug 06 10:50 |

| schestowitz-TR | I was thinking late last night | Aug 06 10:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | or our repo of articles about epo | Aug 06 10:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | in the context ofm whether the capsule still updatesd the wiki mirror ok | Aug 06 10:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | if the epo goes under, it'll have impact on a number of orgs connected to it | Aug 06 10:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | if not the profession in general | Aug 06 10:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | I was also concerned about two or three irc users | Aug 06 10:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | one connects "us" to nuttery | Aug 06 10:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | two can connect us to "far right" | Aug 06 10:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | if people aren't careful in grasping what irc is | Aug 06 10:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | and our very liberal policy on speech | Aug 06 10:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | I think the best approach is to rebut the BS, even insult the BS | Aug 06 10:58 |
| schestowitz-TR | and make it clear the opinion is fringe even among us and we don't leave that unchallenged | Aug 06 10:58 |
| schestowitz-TR | kaniini temporarily banned phanes a month ago | Aug 06 10:58 |
| schestowitz-TR | after I had been told of a plan to hard-code into the server an INABILITY to ban | Aug 06 10:58 |
| schestowitz-TR | see? epople are good at doing things.... as long as it suits them | Aug 06 10:58 |
| schestowitz-TR | when it doesn't then there are "exceptions" | Aug 06 10:58 |
| Techrights-sec | yes | Aug 06 11:00 |
| Techrights-sec | the nuttery is a means of disparagement through involuntary association | Aug 06 11:00 |
| schestowitz-TR | the person was fedora ambassador for a while | Aug 06 11:00 |
| schestowitz-TR | and even before changing name the person had already been into that crazy theory | Aug 06 11:00 |
| schestowitz-TR | so many the identity change is connected to narcotics use | Aug 06 11:00 |
| schestowitz-TR | or, as per admission, autism | Aug 06 11:00 |
| schestowitz-TR | we cannot ban people for that, we need to learn how to better deal with it | Aug 06 11:00 |
| schestowitz-TR | we've lasted as a site and as online community (irc is one of several means) for 1.5 decades | Aug 06 11:06 |
| schestowitz-TR | so we must have done _some_ things right | Aug 06 11:06 |
| schestowitz-TR | having said that, there's always room for improvement | Aug 06 11:06 |
| schestowitz-TR | technical aspects of the improvements are important | Aug 06 11:06 |
| schestowitz-TR | I have some ideas for TR capsule | Aug 06 11:06 |
| schestowitz-TR | but work keeps "wasting" time | Aug 06 11:06 |
| schestowitz-TR | and they don't let me go easily (still no updates from them) | Aug 06 11:06 |
| schestowitz-TR | at least we get paid in the meantime, so I cannot complain | Aug 06 11:06 |
| schestowitz-TR | I want to set up automated backup on the pi (external disk, 3tb, is already plugged in and even though it is mounted only user "pi" can 'see' it) | Aug 06 11:06 |
| schestowitz-TR | the backup job is already a script, but it's not cronned | Aug 06 11:06 |
| schestowitz-TR | next week I'll get more spare usb sticks to burn clones onto | Aug 06 11:06 |
| schestowitz-TR | I like how the pi makes "hot spares"... plug and play | Aug 06 11:07 |
| schestowitz-TR | the worst outage was when debian 10 died and we had to rebuild again on debian 11 in around jan 2022 | Aug 06 11:07 |
| schestowitz-TR | even though I have an up-to-date backup of /home | Aug 06 11:07 |
| schestowitz-TR | just done a full sanity check ont eh pi forbulletin and irc archives | Aug 06 11:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | tldr: there were two gaps | Aug 06 11:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | one for the clone to preseent (march to august | Aug 06 11:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | another for latest backup to present (july to august) | Aug 06 11:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | I can see there are no gaps left | Aug 06 11:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | also for blog posts I think it completed he gaps | Aug 06 11:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | and the wiki | Aug 06 11:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | I'm going to check how long a full backup to magnetic disk takes from usb (on sd card system it was rather fast, maybe under 1 hour) | Aug 06 11:15 |
| Techrights-sec | yes, it's a nice feature being able to just move storage media pretty much | Aug 06 11:15 |
| Techrights-sec | interchangeably | Aug 06 11:15 |
| Techrights-sec | ack | Aug 06 11:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | rianne's rsp400 also means we have a spare physical machines, either way | Aug 06 11:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | she can use mine and plug in external keyboard | Aug 06 11:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | now it's hard to get spares for s reasonable price w | Aug 06 11:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | when she bought one just before the war (shortages worsened) it cost about 70 pounds | Aug 06 11:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | iirc, it launched for retail price of about 50 | Aug 06 11:17 |
| Techrights-sec | The main downside to the RPi is that it is now very hard to get them | Aug 06 11:19 |
| Techrights-sec | but you have more options there in the UK for now as to where to buy them | Aug 06 11:19 |
| schestowitz-TR | you can probably find them off ebay, but it would take days to ship, hence no >hot_ spare | Aug 06 11:19 |
| Techrights-sec | the RPi units are so rare in part because of scalpers, such as what you find | Aug 06 11:21 |
| Techrights-sec | on E-Bay :( | Aug 06 11:21 |
| schestowitz-TR | I'd say hold on to what you have, put it to use though | Aug 06 11:27 |
| schestowitz-TR | all our working machines are powered on and help augment workflows | Aug 06 11:27 |
| schestowitz-TR | but that purpose is never immediately obvious | Aug 06 11:27 |
| schestowitz-TR | needs lateral thinking | Aug 06 11:27 |
| schestowitz-TR | I'm going to test duration of full backup now | Aug 06 11:27 |
| schestowitz-TR | ok, it shows time of start | Aug 06 11:27 |
| schestowitz-TR | then tries each device (drive) based on device unique id when mounted | Aug 06 11:27 |
| schestowitz-TR | I'll assess the rate of growth to get estimate of duration | Aug 06 11:27 |
| schestowitz-TR | oh, writing to external disk is still fast I see... 300 mb done in about a minute so far | Aug 06 11:27 |
| Techrights-sec | I presume that is without LUKS encryption | Aug 06 11:28 |
| Techrights-sec | LUKS will slow it down substantially and can make Rsync impossible | Aug 06 11:28 |
| *DaemonFC (~daemonfc@u99j58s6q7if4.irc) has joined #boycottnovell | Aug 06 11:28 | |
| schestowitz-TR | LUKS has a back door: torture | Aug 06 11:36 |
| schestowitz-TR | psychological in the UK (unless they parcel you off to some CIA "black site") | Aug 06 11:37 |
| schestowitz-TR | I still have my fist and mouth to stave off intruders | Aug 06 11:37 |
| schestowitz-TR | rianne already knows what to do if cops come over (witness for protection, deterrence) | Aug 06 11:37 |
| schestowitz-TR | not that they have ANY legtimate reason to visit | Aug 06 11:37 |
| schestowitz-TR | LUKS is good when you travel physically with a device (e.g. laptop) and it contains sensitive info | Aug 06 11:37 |
| schestowitz-TR | you cannot just access over the network instead | Aug 06 11:37 |
| schestowitz-TR | like travel abaord, then ssh to home | Aug 06 11:37 |
| schestowitz-TR | in which case border control gets just a "blank" | Aug 06 11:37 |
| schestowitz-TR | and ssh does all the security | Aug 06 11:37 |
| schestowitz-TR | rsync does a lot of checksums | Aug 06 11:37 |
| schestowitz-TR | iirc | Aug 06 11:37 |
| schestowitz-TR | you sent me pages, but I only did a very shallow read | Aug 06 11:37 |
| schestowitz-TR | it relies on the files being mostly the same (identical checksum at target and dest) | Aug 06 11:37 |
| schestowitz-TR | otherwise it would be no more efficient than a copy | Aug 06 11:37 |
| schestowitz-TR | even slower is ALL the files are changed entirely | Aug 06 11:37 |
| schestowitz-TR | not "half files" | Aug 06 11:37 |
| schestowitz-TR | or "quarter files" | Aug 06 11:37 |
| schestowitz-TR | slower because it has the overhead of needless comparison | Aug 06 11:37 |
| schestowitz-TR | that results in negatices | Aug 06 11:37 |
| schestowitz-TR | *negatives | Aug 06 11:37 |
| schestowitz-TR | for LUKs, you need to decrypt everything, entirely, then get checksum | Aug 06 11:37 |
| schestowitz-TR | I don't know if LUKS has per-individual-file access to objects | Aug 06 11:37 |
| schestowitz-TR | if it does, maybe you can compare checksums of encrypted objects without dcceprting them fist | Aug 06 11:37 |
| schestowitz-TR | assuming source and dest both use the same encryption key | Aug 06 11:37 |
| schestowitz-TR | and the hashsums do not depend on the allocation of files on encrypted disk | Aug 06 11:37 |
| schestowitz-TR | LUKS creates another risk factor: you getting locked out of your own system | Aug 06 11:37 |
| schestowitz-TR | or damage to disk rendering the whole thing dead | Aug 06 11:37 |
| schestowitz-TR | rather than partial damage | Aug 06 11:37 |
| schestowitz-TR | PC-based encryption or access protection relies on the physical disk not being retreievable by physical access | Aug 06 11:37 |
| schestowitz-TR | LUKS is for when you assume raid is possible and "they" can't get to your machine when it's powered on | Aug 06 11:37 |
| schestowitz-TR | same for openpgp when password token is still stored in RAM | Aug 06 11:37 |

| schestowitz-TR | we also use the pi as a file server for our open working files | Aug 06 11:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | if the pi goes up in flames, kio slave (oooo!! dont' say dat1!!) will still keep all the open files in kate | Aug 06 11:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | sadly, when the pi died days ago unopened files edited after july 29th lost their latest changes | Aug 06 11:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | that's basically (afaik) two files, todo_archive (stuff I ALREADY gotr done) | Aug 06 11:57 |

| Techrights-sec | the commit message might be more useful than the code itself in ytalk | Aug 06 21:07 |
| Techrights-sec | there feels like there is a bit of redunancy there, I think it is consistent | Aug 06 21:07 |
| Techrights-sec | enough that it can be split off into a function | Aug 06 21:07 |
| Techrights-sec | ok the hooks never get checked out / cloned along with the rest of the | Aug 06 21:07 |
| Techrights-sec | repository, that's one check that always has to be redone | Aug 06 21:07 |
| Techrights-sec | It'll be checked automatically | Aug 06 21:07 |
| Techrights-sec | One can set up a lot of hooks but they can easily get lost, destroyed, or | Aug 06 21:07 |
| Techrights-sec | overwritten | Aug 06 21:07 |
| Techrights-sec | The pre-commit hook now checks for various whitespace problems including | Aug 06 21:07 |
| Techrights-sec | trailing whitespace and will block the commit until they are fixed, but | Aug 06 21:07 |
| Techrights-sec | as mentioned hooks can get lost, destroyed, or overwritten all too easily | Aug 06 21:07 |
| Techrights-sec | Hmm. Git won't allow .git/hooks/pre-commit to be added to the repository | Aug 06 21:07 |
| Techrights-sec | So this problem is fixed for now but could likely happen again in the future. | Aug 06 21:07 |

| schestowitz-TR | I will refine it some more over time, it seems like something that's worth investing in | Aug 06 21:12 |
| schestowitz-TR | btw, this morning I checked all the gz files (backups) | Aug 06 21:12 |
| schestowitz-TR | all are fine, that problem was qemu when i/o was very high | Aug 06 21:12 |
| schestowitz-TR | kaniini upgraded qemu | Aug 06 21:12 |
| schestowitz-TR | so I could cross out (intend) this TODO off my list | Aug 06 21:12 |
