[11:57] Techrights-sec2 Latvia [11:59] Techrights-sec2 Uploaded. That last step really needs to be automated. ● Sep 08 [12:00] schestowitz-TR2 Over time we move to more static and reduce reliance on wordpress. since midnight today 37.5k requests in gemini:// [12:01] Techrights-sec2 THat's excellent that Gemini is growing. It's not a bad number even for [12:01] Techrights-sec2 a web site. [12:02] schestowitz-TR2 I try hard toi give exposure to the gemini mailing lists. zoobab is already on it. [12:02] schestowitz-TR2 *to [12:09] Techrights-sec2 As mentioned earlier, the big break through can only come after there are [12:09] Techrights-sec2 several clients in the repositories of the mainstream distros. [12:09] Techrights-sec2 That's up to volunteer packagers for each distro. [12:10] schestowitz-TR2 I think the bigger missing ingrerient is media exposure, as even the repo thing is chicken-and-egg if media drives awareness and 'demand' [12:16] Techrights-sec2 Media hasn't covered tech in many years now. Short of paying some of the [12:16] Techrights-sec2 stenographers, I'm at a loss at how to get articles in the mainstream press. [12:17] schestowitz-TR2 based on the latest 'other links', you can see itwire is among the culprits. But it always was.... so hardly a change. [12:52] Techrights-sec2 Listening to the video. Took a look a the intro garaphics, those are nice. The background of the home [12:52] Techrights-sec2 office could use some tidying though. [12:52] schestowitz-TR2 maybe I should take the machine downstairs to record? Also further away from phones... [12:53] *psydroid3 has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) [12:54] *psydroid3 (~psydroid@cqggrmwgu7gji.irc) has joined #boycottnovell [12:55] schestowitz-TR2 Somewhere with a plain background, even hanging a sheet or folding panel might [12:55] schestowitz-TR2 help. Also the more details that are in the backgroudn, the worse the [12:55] schestowitz-TR2 compression and the more common the compression artefacts (if any). ● Sep 08 [13:00] Techrights-sec2 Somewhere with a plain background, even hanging a sheet or folding panel might [13:00] Techrights-sec2 help. Also the more details that are in the backgroudn, the worse the [13:00] Techrights-sec2 compression and the more common the compression artefacts (if any). [13:00] Techrights-sec2 It used to be a bigger deal technologically durind dialup / ISDN days. [13:00] Techrights-sec2 However it matters a lot psychologically to ensure focus on the subject. [13:00] schestowitz-TR2 How 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? [13:15] Techrights-sec2 That might work, though the details on screens might be distracting and [13:15] Techrights-sec2 difficult for the compression algorithms. Perhaps if they are blanked? [13:16] schestowitz-TR2 I am going to think and then test something for the next video (about IRC) ● Sep 08 [14:01] Techrights-sec2 ack [14:01] Techrights-sec2 The closing graphics are nice too, the gemini URL could be added there [14:01] schestowitz-TR2 I make those in a site called canva,m next time I will add gemini URL [14:17] *qa2 (~sid145515@frp6gv52kp9fi.irc) has joined #boycottnovell [14:50] schestowitz-TR2 do we need a front end at all for our git env? All the ones I can find are bloatware. ● Sep 08 [15:06] Techrights-sec2 I'd say not but we should definitely wait until after the migration to [15:06] Techrights-sec2 the new OS before finalizing the public Git access. [15:06] schestowitz-TR2 yes, those were my feelings too [15:12] Techrights-sec2 The Git archive gets tarred and backed up periodically but it could be [15:12] Techrights-sec2 done more regularly. [15:13] schestowitz-TR2 I backed up IRC again yesterday [15:15] schestowitz-TR2 full file system backups are what takes lots of time and space. irc and git are just a few MBs. TM+TR DBs ~2GB comprpesedd [15:27] Techrights-sec2 ack [15:27] Techrights-sec2 full-filesystem are not so important as the various data in the various [15:27] Techrights-sec2 subprojects. [15:29] schestowitz-TR2 every now and then I rsynch across /uploads for latest years (images, PDFs etc) for TR and TM file system rarely ever changes at all [15:30] schestowitz-TR2 regarding gemini, I rsync the whole thing to my laptop every now and then and the laptop is covered by external backups too ● Sep 08 [16:05] Techrights-sec2 Ok. It's good to have a full backup of the Gemini hierarchy. [16:05] Techrights-sec2 There are some quirks with Git which make it a little awkward to use [16:05] Techrights-sec2 normal methods. [16:05] Techrights-sec2 ... over SSH that is. [16:06] schestowitz-TR2 uploading the video with experimetal cam [16:09] schestowitz-TR2 see draft [16:14] schestowitz-TR2 one part refers to pocock having to move all hosting to iceland [16:24] Techrights-sec2 ok. Is there a way to get a solid background, such as a project screen [16:24] Techrights-sec2 or something? [16:24] Techrights-sec2 The self-hosting issue is important. [16:24] schestowitz-TR2 I am going to look into that [16:24] schestowitz-TR2 my draft is totally polluted with typos, I caught about a dozen [16:51] *qa2 has quit (Quit: ) ● Sep 08 [18:06] *DaemonFC (~DaemonFC@a87hn62g8pk5k.irc) has joined #boycottnovell ● Sep 08 [19:39] *DaemonFC has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) ● Sep 08 [20:28] *DaemonFC (~DaemonFC@a87hn62g8pk5k.irc) has joined #boycottnovell ● Sep 08 [21:27] *rianne_ has quit (Quit: Konversation terminated!)
