schestowitz-TRgithub etc. that he joined Microsoft like Miguel and Nat is  just "icing on the kaka"Jul 07 05:08
schestowitz-TRor rather, maybe that helps expose him for what he really is or was all alongJul 07 05:08
schestowitz-TRphoronix long ago became one of those sites -- like patent lying sites -- where comments are better than the articleJul 07 05:10

schestowitz-TRmade some memesJul 07 10:22
schestowitz-TRdo you want to start prototyping the tuxmachines cms before we even get the machine?Jul 07 10:22
schestowitz-TRcan start at my end, then push to gitJul 07 10:22
Techrights-secbackJul 07 10:22
Techrights-secis there a machine to work on or should I set up a temporary on here?Jul 07 10:22
schestowitz-TRcan you set one up, please? apache needed, I can set news.tuxmachines.org to point to that IP address, no matter port numberJul 07 10:23
Techrights-secthe address changes periodically; it'll be on an odd port since the IPv4 Jul 07 10:24
Techrights-secaddress is already in use on ports 80 and 443; Jul 07 10:24
schestowitz-TRthat's OK, I can add ":" for port, just need ssh access to code overJul 07 10:26
schestowitz-TRI will start coding crude prototype in bash hereJul 07 10:26
Techrights-secyes HTTP can be tunneled over SSH using SOCKS5Jul 07 10:26
schestowitz-TRgot the main loop workingJul 07 10:36
schestowitz-TRnice and simpleJul 07 10:36
schestowitz-TRI assume you know how to leverage perl to make rss feedsJul 07 10:36
Techrights-secyes that's straightforwardJul 07 10:36
schestowitz-TRI'm thinking, Jul 07 10:38

schestowitz-TRI think without being in sudoers I cannot feasibly configure apache to serveJul 07 11:17
schestowitz-TRI tried a few thingsJul 07 11:17
schestowitz-TRit'll need to be configured to use some strange port number for http/sJul 07 11:19

schestowitz-TRwhat port number?Jul 07 11:27
schestowitz-TRsee  news.tuxmachine.org Jul 07 11:27
schestowitz-TRcan work as alias for your port 80 siteJul 07 11:27
schestowitz-TRbut I want to read what's in homedir/tuxmachines atmJul 07 11:27
schestowitz-TRthis way we can both see itJul 07 11:27
schestowitz-TRlooking under sites_enabledJul 07 11:36
schestowitz-TRmust I set it in firefox or can I just localhost:4445 after the tunnel is up and running?Jul 07 11:36
schestowitz-TRok, adding Jul 07 11:36
Techrights-secthe firefox profile must point to a SOCKS proxyJul 07 11:37
schestowitz-TRok, so firefox has for socks v 5 localhost port 4445Jul 07 11:41
schestowitz-TRI get nothing for the local IP after thatJul 07 11:41

schestowitz-TRyou can see one shell scriptJul 07 12:01
schestowitz-TRself-explanatoryJul 07 12:01
Techrights-secnot the right place for scripts, but okJul 07 12:01
Techrights-secSSI is now turned onJul 07 12:03
Techrights-secminor problem on this platform: RPi does not have incron :(Jul 07 12:03
Techrights-secsoon it is essentialJul 07 12:03
Techrights-secthis machine will not go live thoughJul 07 12:03
Techrights-secI've added HTML tidyJul 07 12:03
schestowitz-TRthe general idea is, under nodes new files are either added or modified (updated)Jul 07 12:04
schestowitz-TRfind or another tool needs to sort them chronologicallyJul 07 12:04
schestowitz-TRthen, for nodes, cull out header and footerJul 07 12:04
schestowitz-TRincron not essential yetJul 07 12:04
schestowitz-TRas we can use a cron job and when putting it live update triggers can be changedJul 07 12:04
schestowitz-TRyes, this machine won't be liveJul 07 12:04
schestowitz-TRrianne told me about borisnaroJul 07 12:04
Techrights-secthe <meta> element is essential for processing by dateJul 07 12:05
schestowitz-TRthe filesystem, I thought, stored time last modifiedJul 07 12:06
schestowitz-TRbut that's not important atmJul 07 12:06
schestowitz-TRrss would be nice Jul 07 12:06
schestowitz-TRand way to strip out header and footer from nodes before or after concatenationJul 07 12:06
schestowitz-TRand computed cheaplyJul 07 12:06
Techrights-secthe file system date is not relevant in this case and can be wrongJul 07 12:08
Techrights-secsee nodes/1.htmlJul 07 12:08
Techrights-secRSS is easyJul 07 12:08
Techrights-secheader and footer can be served via SSIJul 07 12:08
schestowitz-TRI don't know SSI, so it's good that you do :-)Jul 07 12:11
schestowitz-TRI threw a footer in all 4 "nodes"Jul 07 12:11
schestowitz-TRand then you came back, so I did not go further than that and copied the file to the serverJul 07 12:11
schestowitz-TRin terms of layout, I can make is fancy-schmancy laterJul 07 12:11
schestowitz-TRthe "core" is the node bodyJul 07 12:11
schestowitz-TRin kde rianne and I can just have he directory open and add objects to itJul 07 12:11
schestowitz-TRbut for a better controlled workflow we can write a command line tool, likeJul 07 12:11
schestowitz-TRadd note, which asks for frields like title and then does the restJul 07 12:11
Techrights-secright look in the HTML sourceJul 07 12:16
Techrights-secfor 1.htmlJul 07 12:16
Techrights-secdo we want to use the +x hack or name the files .shtml or just apply SSI toJul 07 12:16
Techrights-secall the HTML files within the ./node hierarchy?Jul 07 12:16
Techrights-secmaybe that last option is bestJul 07 12:16
schestowitz-TRI don't see "header" and "footer" but top and bottom as those are the bits which go above and below the body, <title> needs to vary and it's in <head>Jul 07 12:17
schestowitz-TRyes, just checked the file Jul 07 12:17
schestowitz-TRyour suggestion is a good oneJul 07 12:17
schestowitz-TRin terms of file names, we can write the "slug" as the filenameJul 07 12:17
schestowitz-TRmaybe some tools can prepend or append date to the filename to avoid slug collisionsJul 07 12:17
Techrights-secyesJul 07 12:19
Techrights-seca script can ask for the date, the title, the slug, and then open an editorJul 07 12:19
Techrights-secfor the post, and then when the editor is closed (and the post passes validation) then write it all to a file named after the slug in a subdirectory under nodeJul 07 12:19
Techrights-secbased on year/month/dayJul 07 12:19
Techrights-secok I must think a bit and then try some scriptingJul 07 12:24
schestowitz-TRyes, that would be a plendid workflowJul 07 12:29
schestowitz-TRfaster than beforeJul 07 12:29
schestowitz-TRif two days later we open such a file over ssh Jul 07 12:29
schestowitz-TRand add "Update: xxxxxxx"Jul 07 12:29
schestowitz-TRthe timestamp will changeJul 07 12:29
schestowitz-TRso it'll be presented again at the front pageJul 07 12:29
schestowitz-TRwhich is the behaviour we wantJul 07 12:29
schestowitz-TRwe can make this very very efficientJul 07 12:29
schestowitz-TRto limit the load on kaniini's hardwareJul 07 12:29
schestowitz-TRlater I can envison myself doing certain types of articles in TR with the same softwareJul 07 12:29
schestowitz-TRand the IRC log pages can be automated to that effectJul 07 12:29
schestowitz-TRgraduallyJul 07 12:29
schestowitz-TRmaybe link pages tooJul 07 12:29
schestowitz-TRtime will tell, as DB usage should be restricted to nodes with [cref ] and other fancy thingsJul 07 12:29
schestowitz-TRif it's made "thin" enouch, pages can be served from local hostingJul 07 12:29
Techrights-secyes that is a goalJul 07 12:29
schestowitz-TRand then larger files from media.tuxmachines.org or similar (hosted in a DC)Jul 07 12:29
Techrights-secthe size of the files only affects the bandwidth not the CPU or anything elseJul 07 12:32
Techrights-secAFAIKJul 07 12:32
Techrights-secexcept disk IOJul 07 12:32
schestowitz-TRthe pages are not large most of the time, and I don't expect there to be any JS code inlineJul 07 12:33
schestowitz-TRcss can be put in external file, as is done nowJul 07 12:33
Techrights-secyes CSS can be an external file tooJul 07 12:34
schestowitz-TReven an iframe for irc, where nowadays we do chats instead of commentsJul 07 12:36
schestowitz-TRbut there are privacy implication as we do not self-hhost the irc "applet/s"Jul 07 12:37
schestowitz-TRpingJul 07 13:07
schestowitz-TRI've made a 'cheap' cron job to update every minJul 07 13:07
schestowitz-TRadd some 'real life' (latest) node examplesJul 07 13:07
schestowitz-TRlooks goodJul 07 13:07
schestowitz-TRsimple and clean so far, all staticJul 07 13:07
schestowitz-TRit would also make it easier to 'mass add' nodesJul 07 13:07

Techrights-seccron won't be used in the final version anyway, that's what inotify incron is Jul 07 13:07
Techrights-secforJul 07 13:07
schestowitz-TRcron is just there to spare me manually regenerating the thingJul 07 13:09
schestowitz-TRif we use this sort of workflow, then using off-the-shift html->gemtext convertors Jul 07 13:09
schestowitz-TRwould be simple tooJul 07 13:09
schestowitz-TR---Jul 07 13:38
schestowitz-TRyes, I noticed some minutes ago, thanks !Jul 07 13:39
schestowitz-TRmaking the heaings hyperlinks so that individual pages stand out on their own in the front pageJul 07 13:39
schestowitz-TRheading changed to h2 as the front page has h1 at the topJul 07 13:39
schestowitz-TRchanged files to shtmlJul 07 13:39
schestowitz-TRI remember coding pages like this 20 years agoJul 07 13:39
schestowitz-TRlike custom error pagesJul 07 13:39

Techrights-secstill experimentingJul 07 13:58
schestowitz-TRrianne likes itJul 07 14:00
schestowitz-TRit can hopefully make the irc channel of tuxmachines grow a "real" communityJul 07 14:00
schestowitz-TRlike hack-a-dayJul 07 14:00
schestowitz-TRbut they don't use irc, there's some other systemJul 07 14:00

Techrights-secok is there an original of the image used to produce top3.jpeg somewhere?Jul 07 14:04
Techrights-secThe jpeg is full of artifacts and ought to be tidied, as well as Jul 07 14:04
Techrights-secredone for some slight layout changes Jul 07 14:04

schestowitz-TRif there was an original, it's long gone (it's from susan's times)Jul 07 14:05
Techrights-secit's a nice picture but the file is damaged with compression artifactsJul 07 14:08

Techrights-secI'll let it rest a bit and consider how the script should put it togetherJul 07 15:45
Techrights-secthe latest.html would be generated automatically by incronJul 07 15:45
Techrights-secthe text of this one does not make much sense on its own:Jul 07 15:45
Techrights-secgemini://gemini.techrights.org/2022/07/07/miguel-de-lp/Jul 07 15:45
Techrights-secwith TM, the old site uses /node/... so it must be renamed for the new siteJul 07 15:45
Techrights-secso that the patterns used in the Rewrite Engine are simpler Jul 07 15:45
schestowitz-TRbackJul 07 16:05
schestowitz-TRexcellent, I think that's the majority of the work done alreadyJul 07 16:05
schestowitz-TRrss feed and adding new nodes would be nextJul 07 16:05
schestowitz-TRI'll prod kaniiniJul 07 16:05
Techrights-secworking on the secondary rss feeds atmJul 07 16:05
Techrights-secrss-since-scraper.pl will be the base for thatJul 07 16:05
Techrights-sectoo soon for that, let's have more of a prototype firstJul 07 16:05
Techrights-secIt'll take a day or twoJul 07 16:07
schestowitz-TRright, I agree. Jul 07 16:07
schestowitz-TRI've modified the index to sort the nodes by age last modifiedJul 07 17:16
schestowitz-TRso if, e.g. I added "Upd[ate" to some node, it'll show up at the top againJul 07 17:16
schestowitz-TRprior to it the list was just all nodes from past 24 hoursJul 07 17:16
Techrights-secI've added the external feed option Jul 07 17:32
Techrights-sec1.shtmlJul 07 17:32
Techrights-secIt might need tweakingJul 07 17:32
schestowitz-TRaha! great ideaJul 07 17:37
schestowitz-TRalso reuse of our toolsetJul 07 17:37
*techrights_guest|83 has quit (Quit: Connection closed)Jul 07 17:37
Techrights-secIt links to the external feed, but I guess it could be modified to link toJul 07 17:43
Techrights-secthe main HTML site insteadJul 07 17:43
schestowitz-TRthe part that says "latest post", yesJul 07 17:45
schestowitz-TRonce we have rss feeds for new tuxmachinesJul 07 17:45
schestowitz-TRsite querying itself for its own rss feed to present latest posts in the right sidebar, plusJul 07 17:45
schestowitz-TRit would highlight the newly modified ones if the rss feed is derived from the slice in the front pageJul 07 17:45
schestowitz-TRwhich scans timestamps of files and sorts by themJul 07 17:45
Techrights-secyes, that's what it's for: the site's own RSS feedJul 07 17:57
Techrights-secI'll take a look at the scripts to create and update posts tomorrowJul 07 17:57
schestowitz-TRthis will give us a ton of flexibilityJul 07 17:59
schestowitz-TRdrupal was not just bloated but constantly changing so any 'hacking' on the code, even if modularised, would break laterJul 07 17:59
schestowitz-TRthere are several ways we can make TM betterJul 07 17:59
schestowitz-TRinc. building a community for discussions, likely the one in the TR IRC networkJul 07 17:59
*DaemonFC (~daemonfc@y7jsttnatjcu6.irc) has joined #boycottnovellJul 07 18:00
Techrights-secyou'll need much better (by orders of magnitude) curation of any IRC channe  Jul 07 18:00
Techrights-secused for TM; it'll work but it will cost time and effort and need several Jul 07 18:00
Techrights-secvolunteers to cover different time shifts; booting off-topic chatterJul 07 18:00
Techrights-secwill probably be essential in particular in the beginningJul 07 18:00
schestowitz-TRatm it is barely 'advertised', so it rarely gets anough momentum to get long discussions goingJul 07 18:04
schestowitz-TRat our end (desktop) we'd also need to tweak some scripts, but the modifications would be minorJul 07 18:04
schestowitz-TRI reckon the old site can cope OK another 7 days before we revert back to its older and more complete stateJul 07 18:04
schestowitz-TRthe "missing" nodes can be downloaded algorithmically, uploaded after reverting back, then linked to with apache redirectsJul 07 18:04
schestowitz-TRto avoid 404s, but those are all minor detailsJul 07 18:04
schestowitz-TRthe lion's share of readers is the rss crowdJul 07 18:04
