schestowitz-TRthe pi backups are working ok at 5:30Aug 09 07:17
schestowitz-TRI think ipfs works OK too, for output to site and to your IRC postsAug 09 07:17
schestowitz-TRI'm going to try to clone the whole system to USB nowAug 09 07:17

Techrights-secI looked at kde-plasma-desktop and its dependencies in Gephi but the Aug 09 07:17
Techrights-secdata modification needs a little more work to make it look nice.  EvenAug 09 07:17
Techrights-secwithout making it look nice, once can see that it is very complex andAug 09 07:17

schestowitz-TRare you good at assessing brands for removable storage?Aug 09 07:20
schestowitz-TR(I'm not)Aug 09 07:20
schestowitz-TRfor instamnce, is KIOXIA considered OK?Aug 09 07:20
schestowitz-TRthe one I bought is very generic and I only intend to use it as a safety net for future D-RAug 09 07:20
schestowitz-TRthis one says 2 years wrranty on the cardbord part of the packAug 09 07:21
schestowitz-TRnot sure how to even interpret that, it cost 9 poundsAug 09 07:21

Techrights-secMost say 5 year warranty, at least the ones I've bought Aug 09 07:23
Techrights-secIt's probably a warranty for being able to plug it in, not data lossAug 09 07:23
schestowitz-TRACK, thanks!Aug 09 07:23
schestowitz-TRI want to share some background info on something, which approaches resolution nowAug 09 07:23
schestowitzIssuing rude and threatening messages isn't helpful while I do disaster recovery (D-R) and many other things at the same time.Aug 09 07:24
schestowitzIt only worsen things. Best to switch off as timing isn't urgent, then prioritise accordingly. This is not urgent. We can all calm down. I didn't say anything rude. I just focused on what mattered most.Aug 09 07:24
schestowitzI will be super-busy this month and next month there's a sort deadline for the above-mentioned naturalisation. I'm not interested in bickering; it's not compatible with my mood. Calm down, be patient, and we will figure things out.Aug 09 07:24
schestowitzBy the way, phoning and messaging xxxx like this is what xxxx did to xxxxx, causing her to get all uncomfortable as an adolescent no less. Don't stoop down to this level please.Aug 09 07:24
schestowitzWe need to use a more secure communication channels. This one, Hotmail, is monitoring by Microsoft (they got caught snooping for purely business reasons in violation of basic rights) and most other "apps" are also not confidential. That's why they're only even used by me for banal talk like football, not much personal stuff.Aug 09 07:24
schestowitzTo be clear, leaving my job would be about focusing on my own projects, not sitting idly doing nothing or drinking any alcohol (no time for that). There seems to be an unfortunate misunderstanding about that.Aug 09 07:24
schestowitzAnyway, we'll talk soon. Relax, it'll be fine.Aug 09 07:24
schestowitz-TR----Aug 09 07:24
schestowitz-TRwe seem to have ruffled some feathers with our plan, which person c told b and maybe a aboutAug 09 07:24
schestowitz-TR----Aug 09 07:33
schestowitz-TRone thing I found was, people are unable to grasp people's choices that are not like them, so they start attacking and stuffAug 09 07:33
schestowitz-TRthis reminds me of a person (unnamed) who said RMS was attacked tro viciously because people were unable to come to grips with how he lived his life in freedom withoutAug 09 07:33
schestowitz-TRhaving to get all stressed about mortgages and without using GAFAM etc... or getting bossed by pricksAug 09 07:33
schestowitz-TRBTW, in IRC some days ago I posted a link to a video of him in Frnace this summer. He hair is all grey/white, but his skin seems OK and his French seemsAug 09 07:33
Techrights-secackAug 09 07:33
schestowitz-TRgood though I cannot understand what he says. In recent years I saw books saying "French" at his back, so he keeps on topAug 09 07:34
schestowitz-TRI did not do anything with this video as Francophonies are a very narrow audience for usAug 09 07:34
schestowitz-TR(not compring MYSELF to RMS, just saying this situation reminded me of that comment)Aug 09 07:34
schestowitz-TRhaving said all this,s eeing how seldom FSF publishes somrthing of sunstance (not just announcing date and time for Libera.Cancel "event") and how littleAug 09 07:34
schestowitz-TRRMS talks (and how soft his stance is), I realise that both were defranged, and I think the 'sock doctrine' left tem paralysed, afriad that soemthinfg theyAug 09 07:34
schestowitz-TRsay or do might lead to a THIRD attack (Sept 2019, March-April 2021...)Aug 09 07:34
schestowitz-TRthey should have responded more firmly the first time aroundAug 09 07:34
schestowitz-TRif RMS had not "stepped down" in 2019, there would be no second or thirdAug 09 07:34
schestowitz-TRhe'd still be preseident, not giving a flying f*Aug 09 07:34
schestowitz-TRbtw, he did want to become president again (reliable source), but after the second attack decided to leave things at thatAug 09 07:34
schestowitz-TRdraftAug 09 07:37
schestowitz-TRi mention in the video one day we might add documentdrop (we tried on centos; also tried a germany equiv)Aug 09 07:37
schestowitz-TRnot a priority for nowAug 09 07:37
Techrights-seccheckingAug 09 07:38
Techrights-secif it is relevant, it would be important to mention that the quantity-over-Aug 09 07:38
Techrights-sec-quality is harmful and defeats the purpose of a patent office which, Aug 09 07:38
Techrights-secas from IRC, is about weeding out bad patents at the application levelAug 09 07:38
Techrights-secpassing that on to the courts merely to skim money burdens the courtsAug 09 07:38
Techrights-secunnecessarily and obviates the need for a patent office even.Aug 09 07:38
schestowitz-TRadded para with your witty observationAug 09 07:42
Techrights-secthanksAug 09 07:51
schestowitz-TRtoday's IRC post left out the IPFS stuff. Did the script not manage to retrieve it?Aug 09 08:10
schestowitz-TRJust checking to ensure it worked correctlyAug 09 08:10
schestowitz-TRwith ipfs working OK again I'll likely enhance TR on top of it ;-)Aug 09 08:47
schestowitz-TRWTF! Switzerland and Finland now doing rolling blackouts? Now due to weather? Insane. World's (among) richest and "happiest"... brownouts due to weather and powerAug 09 08:47
schestowitz-TRrationing. This is considered normal now? What next, water rationing? Overpopulation does play a role in this. Of course the rich companies, e.g. AWS/Amazon, Aug 09 08:47
schestowitz-TRwill be exempted, so there will be more monopolies too (marketing point: "we're exempt from rationing")Aug 09 08:47

schestowitz-TR0777 was a temporarily hackAug 09 13:14
schestowitz-TRhence I told you about itAug 09 13:14
schestowitz-TRas I want to do permissions properly on the new machineAug 09 13:15
schestowitz-TRbut just needed something temporary to write the filesAug 09 13:15
schestowitz-TRi removed make and gcc from that machine after using themAug 09 13:15

schestowitz-TRthat's one of the reasons  want a complete cloneAug 09 13:22
schestowitz-TRto replicate and maintain the same relation between accounts and their permissionsAug 09 13:22
schestowitz-TRset aside system binaries and suchAug 09 13:22
schestowitz-TR/home is not enoughAug 09 13:22
schestowitz-TRthere's lots more inc. crontabAug 09 13:22
schestowitz-TRon the new system we'll have some more accounts to contain certain programs like irc botsAug 09 13:22
schestowitz-TRso that nothing runs as rootAug 09 13:22
schestowitz-TRsome of thewse programs need to write to public_htmlAug 09 13:22
schestowitz-TRso getting the relationship right will be crucialAug 09 13:22
schestowitz-TRto avoid clutter laterAug 09 13:22
schestowitz-TRand I'm usualyl too lazxy (sorry) and implement quikck dirty hacksAug 09 13:22
schestowitz-TRI'm the same in the kiutchenAug 09 13:22
Techrights-secthe 0777 permissions are incompatible with SSH / Rsync / SFTP access.  That's  Aug 09 13:25
Techrights-sechow they were noticedAug 09 13:25

schestowitz-TRhow can ipfs be leveraged to our advantageAug 09 13:46
schestowitz-TRfor gemini I doubt we need itAug 09 13:46
schestowitz-TRI still host it from home OKAug 09 13:46
schestowitz-TRwe could intheory host it from two places at onceAug 09 13:46
schestowitz-TRbut no perceivable advantage atmAug 09 13:46

schestowitz-TRI don't think the server side needs to interact with irc, but it does need to send up-to-date list of hashes to the pi for geminiAug 09 14:52
