| schestowitz-TR2 | just found another hidden impact of the 3am disconnection (not related to the system crash in any way) | Sep 11 04:02 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | the cron job for the gemini capsule never completed, leaving a lock file in taxt | Sep 11 04:02 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | so the capsule did not update for 24 hours | Sep 11 04:02 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | I noticed the issue moments ago | Sep 11 04:02 |

| Techrights-sec | Which script left the lock file? | Sep 11 05:04 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | I am not sure | Sep 11 05:05 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | I actually tried to understand which thing updates the whole capsule every (3 hours?)... as it has not updated the ffront page | Sep 11 05:05 |
| Techrights-sec | checking | Sep 11 05:05 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | but it did generate gemini versions of pages from yesterday | Sep 11 05:05 |
| Techrights-sec | slow connection | Sep 11 05:09 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | I could stop ipfs and remove tc throttling | Sep 11 05:10 |
| Techrights-sec | /home/gemini/bin/gemini-cron-updater.sh has a trap to remove lock files | Sep 11 05:12 |
| Techrights-sec | so if it was that script, more details are needed. If it was not that | Sep 11 05:12 |
| Techrights-sec | script, then we'd need to know which script. | Sep 11 05:12 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | the disconnection here was around 3am local time, iirc | Sep 11 05:13 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | iirc, the heavy pages are updated around 3,6,9... | Sep 11 05:13 |
| Techrights-sec | Was it poweroff or network? | Sep 11 05:13 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | network | Sep 11 05:16 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | and brief | Sep 11 05:16 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | very weird | Sep 11 05:16 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | as connections were not dropped fully, afaik | Sep 11 05:16 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | something was temporarily wrong wih the network and it recovered | Sep 11 05:16 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | or maybe that is not related at all | Sep 11 05:16 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | all I know is, I need to remove a lock file | Sep 11 05:16 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | some pages were last updated 2am 2 days ago | Sep 11 05:16 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | no, 1 day ago, 7 hours | Sep 11 05:16 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | *27 hours | Sep 11 05:16 |
| Techrights-sec | ok that would leave a lock file somehow, but the trap /should/ in all cases | Sep 11 05:17 |
| Techrights-sec | remove it on the way out. | Sep 11 05:17 |
| Techrights-sec | What was the name of the lock file? | Sep 11 05:17 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | gemino--cron-updater.sh | Sep 11 05:17 |
| Techrights-sec | Hmm. That one has the trap calling removal of the temporary files and the | Sep 11 05:19 |
| Techrights-sec | lock file. THere's another old one from aug 4 for show-new-visitors-count.sh | Sep 11 05:19 |
| Techrights-sec | maybe that is blocking things | Sep 11 05:19 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | that was around the time we recovered from the dead microsd and moved to usb | Sep 11 05:19 |
| Techrights-sec | I wonder under which circumstances gemini-cron-updater.sh can leave a stray | Sep 11 05:24 |
| Techrights-sec | lock file? | Sep 11 05:24 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | maybe I deleted it while it was still running | Sep 11 05:25 |
| Techrights-sec | Could be. Some parts are dreadfully slow. | Sep 11 05:25 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | that's pi on USB | Sep 11 05:25 |
| Techrights-sec | It calls several other network-dependent scripts and those can be quite slow. | Sep 11 05:27 |
| Techrights-sec | We did add a timeout of 600 seconds to one of them, just because that part | Sep 11 05:27 |
| Techrights-sec | was too slow and could hang for all practical purposes. | Sep 11 05:27 |

| schestowitz-TR2 | i got back 2 hours ago | Sep 11 10:19 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | thought the cron job at 6am would update the front page and some sub-pages | Sep 11 10:19 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | new posts do in fact become gemini pages | Sep 11 10:19 |
| Techrights-sec | checking | Sep 11 10:19 |
| Techrights-sec | ack | Sep 11 10:19 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | so some stuff does work | Sep 11 10:19 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | also, the pages for irc logs do update | Sep 11 10:19 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | the ones I see not updating are the front page and 'feeds' | Sep 11 10:19 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | when I say feed I mean daily lumps of posts from the day | Sep 11 10:19 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | I think it's most likely due to the network issue, based on the timestamp | Sep 11 10:19 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | it knocked the flow off balance | Sep 11 10:19 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | maybe even some temporary pages | Sep 11 10:19 |

| Techrights-sec | The second line should say (root:root) rather than (root:root: | Sep 11 10:48 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | yes, we lost those changes to sudoers -- i think that's the only thing we lost following the system crash | Sep 11 10:49 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | so I can add those two files | Sep 11 10:49 |

| schestowitz-TR2 | the "LINUX" section of Slashdot is like this | Sep 11 13:31 |

| schestowitz-TR2 | e.g. Microsoft Dice | Sep 11 13:40 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | and now Logan | Sep 11 13:40 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | who came to IRC | Sep 11 13:40 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | told us it would improve | Sep 11 13:40 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | I didn't see improvements | Sep 11 13:40 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | because he wanted us to change our wiki after he had bought it | Sep 11 13:40 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | LinuxJournal is now owned by him | Sep 11 13:40 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | Don't think they posted anything new in over a month | Sep 11 13:40 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | at least it's still online afaik | Sep 11 13:40 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | PIA did not keep it online | Sep 11 13:40 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | I asked Rick F | Sep 11 13:40 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | and he told me he had already left PIA | Sep 11 13:40 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | I was flattered that Logan and Lee came to our IRC channel due to concern over our views about their stuff | Sep 11 13:40 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | because they saw a potential for diplomacy | Sep 11 13:40 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | I think both meant well | Sep 11 13:40 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | Logan loved FOSS things, inc. SourceForce | Sep 11 13:40 |

| schestowitz-TR2 | rianne's clone is completed | Sep 11 15:24 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | she now runs the system from it, i.e. from microsd | Sep 11 15:24 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | next weekend we'll clone in reverse | Sep 11 15:24 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | so that usb is the backup | Sep 11 15:24 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | for the ipfs machine I'd rather than on USB | Sep 11 15:24 |
| Techrights-sec | ack | Sep 11 15:24 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | too much i/o | Sep 11 15:24 |

| schestowitz-TR2 | famous last words | Sep 11 15:57 |
| Techrights-sec | well that took a long while to reboot | Sep 11 16:11 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | rianne's pi used to take about 5 mins to start | Sep 11 16:12 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | now it's a lot faster | Sep 11 16:12 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | by virtue of not booting from USB | Sep 11 16:12 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | Debian 11/raspiOS | Sep 11 16:12 |
| Techrights-sec | I think a lot depends on what was updated | Sep 11 16:13 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | yuo give, you take | Sep 11 16:15 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | you win, you lose | Sep 11 16:15 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | today we had some of both | Sep 11 16:15 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | I'm waiting for the second clone to complete | Sep 11 16:15 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | than will back up tm-new and tr-new to some extent | Sep 11 16:15 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | the TR capsule's front page and feeds are still out of date, | Sep 11 16:15 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | but the latest stories do get added | Sep 11 16:15 |
| Techrights-sec | ack | Sep 11 16:17 |
| Techrights-sec | Strange, the updater script runs (and seems to be working at the moment) | Sep 11 16:17 |
| Techrights-sec | However, there seem to be some connectivity issues from/to that machine | Sep 11 16:17 |
| Techrights-sec | so perhaps it is tripping up the clumsy and inefficient scraping bot | Sep 11 16:17 |
| Techrights-sec | Also serious I/O problems: | Sep 11 16:25 |
| Techrights-sec | $ time ls -lh /tmp/lockfile-* | Sep 11 16:25 |
| Techrights-sec | -rw-r--r-- 1 gemini gemini 0 Sep 11 16:06 /tmp/lockfile-gemini-cron-updater.sh | Sep 11 16:25 |
| Techrights-sec | real 0m5.082s | Sep 11 16:25 |
| Techrights-sec | What does 'iotop' report? | Sep 11 16:25 |
| Techrights-sec | 'htop' shows ipfs daemon hogging a lot of CPU | Sep 11 16:25 |
| Techrights-sec | That should be niced into oblivion. | Sep 11 16:25 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | I think it is already niced, but the underlying peril is USB | Sep 11 16:26 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | even with ipfs turned off it won't be a fast system | Sep 11 16:26 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | remember it is also cloning the whole OS at the moment | Sep 11 16:26 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | which adds to the strain | Sep 11 16:26 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | and even causes habitual gemini timeouts | Sep 11 16:26 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | backup will finish in 1-2 hours | Sep 11 16:26 |
| Techrights-sec | ack | Sep 11 16:29 |
| Techrights-sec | However it seems most unusually slow even for a RPi | Sep 11 16:29 |
| Techrights-sec | Even a RPi 0 system is faster than that | Sep 11 16:29 |
| Techrights-sec | I have one running from USB at the moment and it is quite snappy | Sep 11 16:29 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | that's what always happened when rianne's 400 or my 4 ran on USB | Sep 11 16:29 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | even on the blue port | Sep 11 16:29 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | even different makes of usb sticks | Sep 11 16:29 |

| schestowitz-TR2 | 6 useer accounts gunzipped | Sep 11 17:21 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | biggest: | Sep 11 17:21 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | ipfs: 7.1gb | Sep 11 17:21 |

| Techrights-sec | ack | Sep 11 17:21 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | we have up to date local copies of the big ones | Sep 11 17:21 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | I will copy across the other 4 | Sep 11 17:21 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | total compression time about 4 minutes | Sep 11 17:22 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | I've not scripted it yet, will run it manually one more time before scripting that | Sep 11 17:22 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | done, now I can sleep better | Sep 11 17:28 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | I cannot offhand remember where the ipfs config files reside | Sep 11 17:28 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | but maybe that's for a later date | Sep 11 17:28 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | --- | Sep 11 17:31 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | btw, sometimes I realise: | Sep 11 17:31 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | back in the days the media was flooded with all sorts of nthings | Sep 11 17:31 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | inc. microsoft spam | Sep 11 17:31 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | with the demise of the media | Sep 11 17:31 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | even that microsoft spam is becoming more scarce | Sep 11 17:31 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | so anything we can do to propel the visibility of bsd and gnu/linux counts more in RELATIVE terms | Sep 11 17:31 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | the terrain has changed porofoundlky | Sep 11 17:31 |
| psydroid3 | microsoft shilling has also become scarce | Sep 11 17:46 |
| psydroid3 | no monetary incentive -> no more shilling | Sep 11 17:47 |
| psydroid3 | now it's more like damning with faint praise | Sep 11 17:47 |
| psydroid3 | "can't play all games with Wine/Proton, so you'd better install Windows" | Sep 11 17:48 |
| psydroid3 | still trying to insert the malware into the conversation like some child with an attention deficit | Sep 11 17:48 |
| Techrights-sec | Ok | Sep 11 18:08 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | yeah | Sep 11 18:08 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | sounds like a banal observation | Sep 11 18:09 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | from me | Sep 11 18:09 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | but I remember 10-15 years ago | Sep 11 18:09 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | <techrights-news> Slashdot's editor posting SHIT again. Missing or skipping all the important "Linux" news, but now that AT&T blames "Linux" for malware (without even specifying how it gets there) it is seen as important https://it.slashdot.org/story/22/09/11/0314234/powerful-new-linux-malware-shikitega-uses-unusual-multi-stage-stealth | Sep 11 18:16 |
| -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-it.slashdot.org | Powerful New Linux Malware Shikitega Uses Unusual Multi-Stage Stealth - Slashdot | Sep 11 18:16 | |
| Techrights-sec | I've lost track of what owns Slashdot these days and their marketing agreements | Sep 11 18:29 |
| Techrights-sec | with M$ | Sep 11 18:29 |
| Techrights-sec | htop finally started, I had gotten distracted, it shows that the IPFS daemon | Sep 11 18:29 |
| Techrights-sec | is not yet niced | Sep 11 18:29 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | ipfs is a daemon that spawns processes | Sep 11 18:31 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | I think something there was niced, but to no effect | Sep 11 18:31 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | anyway, let the backup finish first | Sep 11 18:31 |
