nice

schestowitz-TR

going to test in a moment, on shift till 9am

schestowitz-TR

I've just tried it and it said target is not writeable

Jul 08 06:48

schestowitz-TR

I did not check reason, IU am guessing directory permission based on which user created the dated dir and whether it's "w"

Jul 08 06:48

schestowitz-TR

if the <h2> has self-referential <a>, then from the front page the node too is accessible

Jul 08 06:48

*DaemonFC has quit (Quit: Leaving)

Jul 08 06:58

schestowitz-TR

to limit CPU usage we can later set the main front page loop to only scan for latest modified files in the (say) last

to add nodes, I suppose ssh access might be OK, adding them over the terminal

Jul 08 07:19

umask problem in; fixing

Jul 08 07:55

the group was not getting set rw, used ACLs to set a default for those

Jul 08 07:55

Techrights-sec

directories

Jul 08 07:55

schestowitz-TR

now it works OK

schestowitz-TR

of note: at the moment any apostrophe in title would not be accepted because of slug conversion (i know it's still

schestowitz-TR

early)

schestowitz-TR

but very well done overall, it would speed up adding pages

schestowitz-TR

also makes it easier to find older pages (not some random node number, also organised by data via dir structure)

schestowitz-TR

I'll post Daily Links shortly

schestowitz-TR

(today around 5pm we have company meeting, then rianne and I plan to drink and go bargain-hunting, lots of spare

schestowitz-TR

space in the fridge)

Techrights-sec

ok I'll check

schestowitz-TR

nb: with campinos in helm, from OUR 'selfish' POV, we might have better things to publish

Jul 08 08:11

in other news, marius has a twitter desc that says husband and "dog dad"

schestowitz-TR

which I find adorable, he's also vegetarian

schestowitz-TR

he he gets shell access, I guess it would be account-based

schestowitz-TR

he's trustworthy

schestowitz-TR

rianne and I both liked him

schestowitz-TR

I said more in IRC

schestowitz-TR

I also argued with mjg today

schestowitz-TR

he lost and went silent

schestowitz-TR

the pi's network firmware blob has an update, which I am applying

schestowitz-TR

but I think a new kernel might be needed to tackle the wifi thing

schestowitz-TR

having said that, I've no longer got intent to

schestowitz-TR

a) go back to wifi

schestowitz-TR

b) leave ipfs on all day long

schestowitz-TR

doing full /home backup at the moment

schestowitz-TR

not the whole system (clone) because I regard it not in a healthy state due to the kernel

Techrights-sec

ack. IPFS probably needs updating

Jul 08 11:20

Techrights-sec

but there seem to be fundamental shortcomings in the protocol itself

/usr/local/bin/tm-scraper.sh

Techrights-sec

^ very expermental, perhaps details/summary would be better for the non-TM

Techrights-sec

feeds instead ?

schestowitz-TR

for all sites I always try to provide full content rss

schestowitz-TR

so people do not need to even enter the site

schestowitz-TR

it's better for the readers

schestowitz-TR

BTW, like I said earlie, I think you changed the scraper code and that impacted Daily links (duplicated paragraphs)

Techrights-sec

I'll have to dig into that.

Jul 08 13:51

schestowitz-TR

thanks, microsoft is attacking, lunduke just wrote about this

Jul 08 13:51

schestowitz-TR

so writing in techrights and making available old articles is imho important right now

with notification you at least press something (or it just beeps)

trying not to get burned out, not good time for that

schestowitz-TR

I made a list of 10 tasks, new TM is in it

Techrights-sec

when you are back can you give an example ofthe problem you described with

Techrights-sec

duplicated links in the paragraphs?

schestowitz-TR

open date-merged.html for this morning scroll down and you will see this issue 50-70 times over

Techrights-sec

ok checking

Techrights-sec

I see it

Techrights-sec

It's coming from the automated harvesting

Techrights-sec

checking

schestowitz-TR

for today's file it's a "solved" issue as I "cleaned my feeds"

schestowitz-TR

but would be nice to avoid on saturday which has like 120+ automated ones, mostly because of counterpunch

Techrights-sec

yes

"spring booster" as euphemism for plecebo. Research has shown that fourth jab has no real advantage. They just keep selling and selling. https://coronavirus.data.gov.uk/details/whats-new/record/a20edb1c-a7ce-4b62-aaf8-fa64ffb22f10

good news; rianne continues as is

schestowitz-TR

this may mean I'll be fully free :)

schestowitz-TR

hers is important

schestowitz-TR

for naturalisaiton etc.

Techrights-sec

did she also get a raise for the good work?

Techrights-sec

yes the naturalization paperwork is high priority I would think

schestowitz-TR

her salary covers alll our expenses

schestowitz-TR

sans luxuries like long-distance flights

schestowitz-TR

so we're OK

schestowitz-TR

I'll have a lot of time

I wanted this outcome as second choice

we'll have driunks and go buy food

schestowitz-TR

good news is, I'll still be connected to the company through her

schestowitz-TR

and can help her (if needed)

schestowitz-TR

so I'm sort of there but not there

schestowitz-TR

unless I insist

schestowitz-TR

which I don't want to

schestowitz-TR

her posiotion is vastly more important than mine

Jul 08 16:39

<techrights-news> NHS said there would be weekly update every week (Friday). They lied. https://coronavirus.data.gov.uk/ no update. They're hiding how terrible it is, covering up for the Borisnaro regime.

hiding the damage; like in the case of bojotheclown they ignore the damage

Jul 08 19:08

schestowitz-TR

anyay, as per scrollback, I already mentioned the issue

schestowitz-TR

maybe it's weekly every weds, the explanation they gave was vague, not clear

schestowitz-TR

so rianne and I found a lot of stuff

schestowitz-TR

the most important thing is that they gae her complete assurances

schestowitz-TR

it's her who would otherwise struggle to find such employment and has spare time

Ideas about layout / process / workflow, especially for navigating between posts?

Jul 08 19:26

schestowitz-TR

I think the title needs a self-referenctial <a href="path/node"></a>

Jul 08 19:29

schestowitz-TR

this way the front page works better

not me, other people

schestowitz-TR

I focus on links now

schestowitz-TR

I cannot publicly say much about work yet

schestowitz-TR

for legal reasons

schestowitz-TR

and for ongoing processes, so the draft is on hold

schestowitz-TR

like colleagues

yes he helped lock Linux out of the laptops and now Lenovo is taking advantage

Techrights-sec

of that capability and it's (nearly) all his fault

schestowitz-TR

it's slow news friday, as usual, I'll double check everything to ensure I don't miss anything valuable

schestowitz-TR

I thoughtg I saw something and missed it, but I think justa gut feeling or some phoronix url

schestowitz-TR

someout put in irc (pluton/lenovo), I cannot link to this anyway

schestowitz-TR

won't click either, microbell writes about microsoft in a way I can neither stand nor understand ($)

schestowitz-TR

I've intentionally relegated the LP stuff to comments in tuxmachines

schestowitz-TR

shock effect just annoys people IME

schestowitz-TR

so you want to give them less "annoying" stuff and shelves the rest suitably, not in people's face

schestowitz-TR

over and over again like /. and some of SN

schestowitz-TR

we found lots of pastry for 10p today

schestowitz-TR

that's like 9 cents

schestowitz-TR

even good brands of loaves

schestowitz-TR

fed a little to the friend (geese)

schestowitz-TR

little (one piece) among a dozen of them

schestowitz-TR

Here, the FSA (former client of ours) would take complaints about that

schestowitz-TR

expired food here might still be good, but not legal to sell

schestowitz-TR

the trick is using the fridge and freezer widsely, based on space/weight, speed of rot, speed of condumption, and total worth

schestowitz-TR

rianne is also good at special things, like how to best fit x items into a box

schestowitz-TR

women are better than men at this, I once saw in a documentary

schestowitz-TR

it's something in the mental facultieis, maybe like nest-building

schestowitz-TR

an analytical thing that takes patience like sewing

schestowitz-TR

men lack that skill or will

schestowitz-TR

another trick is cooking a massive lot to kill off the germs

schestowitz-TR

rianne cooks like a 5kg stew right now, it can then last 5 days

schestowitz-TR

now that good prices went up such "skills" and "tricks" bring in more dividends

schestowitz-TR

same for efficient computing a la SMBS when price of energy goes UP

schestowitz-TR

this weekend I'll write down our expenses to calculate our finances in case I retire at 40
