Techrights-sec2Uploaded.  That last step really needs to be automated.  Sep 08 11:59
schestowitz-TR2Over time we move to more static and reduce reliance on wordpress. since midnight today 37.5k requests in gemini://Sep 08 12:00
Techrights-sec2THat's excellent that Gemini is growing.  It's not a bad number even forSep 08 12:01

schestowitz-TR2I try hard toi give exposure to the gemini mailing lists. zoobab is already on it.Sep 08 12:02

Techrights-sec2As mentioned earlier, the big break through can only come after there areSep 08 12:09
Techrights-sec2several clients in the repositories of the mainstream distros.Sep 08 12:09
Techrights-sec2That's up to volunteer packagers for each distro.Sep 08 12:09
schestowitz-TR2I think the bigger missing ingrerient is media exposure, as even the repo thing is chicken-and-egg if media drives awareness and 'demand'Sep 08 12:10
Techrights-sec2Media hasn't covered tech in many years now.  Short of paying some of theSep 08 12:16
Techrights-sec2stenographers, I'm at a loss at how to get articles in the mainstream press.Sep 08 12:16
schestowitz-TR2based on the latest 'other links', you can see itwire is among the culprits. But it always was.... so hardly a change.Sep 08 12:17
Techrights-sec2Listening to the video.  Took a look a the intro garaphics, those are nice.  The background of the homeSep 08 12:52
Techrights-sec2office could use some tidying though.Sep 08 12:52
schestowitz-TR2maybe I should take the machine downstairs to record? Also further away from phones...Sep 08 12:52

Techrights-sec2It used to be a bigger deal technologically durind dialup / ISDN days.  Sep 08 13:00
Techrights-sec2However it matters a lot psychologically to ensure focus on the subject.Sep 08 13:00
schestowitz-TR2How about, camera *external) diagonal from the back, showing my 7 displays (today I finally managed to put all 7 in front of me, at long last) and my face from the size?Sep 08 13:00
Techrights-sec2That might work, though the details on screens might be distracting andSep 08 13:15
Techrights-sec2difficult for the compression algorithms.  Perhaps if they are blanked?Sep 08 13:15
schestowitz-TR2I am going to think and then test something for the next video (about IRC)Sep 08 13:16
Techrights-sec2ack     Sep 08 14:01
Techrights-sec2The closing graphics are nice too, the gemini URL could be added thereSep 08 14:01
schestowitz-TR2I make those in a site called canva,m next time I will add gemini URLSep 08 14:01

schestowitz-TR2do we need a front end at all for our git env? All the ones I can find are bloatware.Sep 08 14:50
Techrights-sec2I'd say not but we should definitely wait until after the migration to Sep 08 15:06
Techrights-sec2the new OS before finalizing the public Git access.Sep 08 15:06
schestowitz-TR2yes, those were my feelings tooSep 08 15:06
Techrights-sec2The Git archive gets tarred and backed up periodically but it could be Sep 08 15:12
Techrights-sec2done more regularly.Sep 08 15:12
schestowitz-TR2I backed up IRC again yesterdaySep 08 15:13
schestowitz-TR2full file system backups are what takes lots of time and space. irc and git are just a few MBs. TM+TR DBs ~2GB comprpeseddSep 08 15:15
Techrights-sec2ackSep 08 15:27
Techrights-sec2full-filesystem are not so important as the various data in the various Sep 08 15:27
Techrights-sec2subprojects.  Sep 08 15:27
schestowitz-TR2every now and then I rsynch across /uploads for latest years (images, PDFs etc) for TR and TM file system rarely ever changes at allSep 08 15:29
schestowitz-TR2regarding gemini, I rsync the whole thing to my laptop every now and then and the laptop is covered by external backups tooSep 08 15:30
Techrights-sec2Ok.  It's good to have a full backup of the Gemini hierarchy.Sep 08 16:05
Techrights-sec2There are some quirks with Git which make it a little awkward to useSep 08 16:05
Techrights-sec2normal methods. Sep 08 16:05

schestowitz-TR2one part refers to pocock having to move all hosting to icelandSep 08 16:14
Techrights-sec2ok.  Is there a way to get a solid background, such as a project screenSep 08 16:24
Techrights-sec2or something?  Sep 08 16:24
Techrights-sec2The self-hosting issue is important. Sep 08 16:24
schestowitz-TR2I am going to look into thatSep 08 16:24

schestowitz"Tough article. It seems like this complicted discourse, sadly familiarly, boils at least down to "what causes the shame". Lots of the exclusionist and sinning views on sex in the first place. :/ (Nothing new in topic being "touchy" when safety is perceived at risk all the time.)'Sep 08 23:26
