| schestowitz-TR | ota | May 12 05:05 |
|---|---|---|
| schestowitz-TR | a) due to a little irc glitch the logs will have double lines (better than missing ones) | May 12 05:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | b) I had to manually rereun some jobs, I hope the ipfs output is correct (I think so) | May 12 05:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | c) on TR some gz files are made separate from source dump, which means homedir is left with | May 12 05:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | very large files, like 8gb for each dump of wordpress. today's gz files are OK. | May 12 05:05 |
| Techrights-sec | se Git | May 12 05:54 |
| Techrights-sec | ^see | May 12 05:54 |
| schestowitz-TR | thanks, got it | May 12 05:55 |
| schestowitz-TR | the issue is already resolved | May 12 05:55 |
| schestowitz-TR | we had it before when migrating from one server to another | May 12 05:55 |
| schestowitz-TR | and both logged to the same file | May 12 05:55 |
| schestowitz-TR | having such a tool is very handy | May 12 05:55 |
| schestowitz-TR | around 2am my connection only to TR got dropped for a few minutes | May 12 05:55 |
| schestowitz-TR | I had to do lots of manual work as a result | May 12 05:55 |
| Techrights-sec | I saw no disruption in the monitory program, aside from the usual aroudn 03:40 | May 12 05:56 |

| -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-schestowitz.com » Blog Archive » Time for Freedom of Information (FOI) Request to Divulge Data on COVID-19 | May 12 05:57 | |
| schestowitz-TR | I am thinking of contacting an MP soon | May 12 05:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | to keep this portal updated | May 12 05:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | it should not be expensive to do | May 12 05:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | and it is essential for scrutiny | May 12 05:57 |
| Techrights-sec | what was the cause of the break in connectivity? | May 12 05:58 |
| schestowitz-TR | I checked my router, no issue here | May 12 05:59 |
| schestowitz-TR | it seems like some other people also dropped the connection around that time | May 12 05:59 |
| schestowitz-TR | maybe some routing issue across the Atlantic | May 12 05:59 |
| schestowitz-TR | but this was a reminder of the high cost of such outages ESPECIALLY around 2-4AM when there are racing | May 12 05:59 |
| schestowitz-TR | conditions and several jobs running at certain times | May 12 05:59 |
| schestowitz-TR | *race conditions | May 12 05:59 |
| Techrights-sec | acck | May 12 06:00 |
| Techrights-sec | yes | May 12 06:00 |
| schestowitz-TR | be patient as later today I might know if I can do TR full-time | May 12 06:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | rianne already has a job contingency | May 12 06:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | not confirmed or anything, but we can cope OK | May 12 06:04 |
| Techrights-sec | ack | May 12 06:05 |
| Techrights-sec | is it ok to deduplicate the four logs from yesterday? | May 12 06:05 |
| Techrights-sec | ok | May 12 06:05 |
| Techrights-sec | ok | May 12 06:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | the chain of workflow meant that there are already text versions and gmi versions, | May 12 06:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | with them in ipfs and a hash | May 12 06:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | but for html we canoverrise what's on the main server, I suppose | May 12 06:05 |
| Techrights-sec | ok deduplication of yesterday's four HTML IRC logs is done | May 12 06:10 |
| Techrights-sec | no the dependencies are not there until the OS upgrade takes place | May 12 06:10 |
| Techrights-sec | had to download, process, upload. kept copies ofthe originals | May 12 06:10 |
| schestowitz-TR | just had to pay the annual fee (not much) for scifitness -- a site over a decade old | May 12 06:11 |
| schestowitz-TR | originally made as a contigency for my job | May 12 06:11 |
| schestowitz-TR | :-) | May 12 06:11 |
| schestowitz-TR | oh, good | May 12 06:11 |
| schestowitz-TR | did yoyu run it on the server side? | May 12 06:11 |
| schestowitz-TR | yes, site updates would be like a "job" if I leave the current one | May 12 06:11 |
| schestowitz-TR | TR is a much bigger job than TM | May 12 06:11 |
| schestowitz-TR | the duplication started around the time I updated and then rebooted kde neon, for the first time in a month | May 12 06:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | their update process reminds me of Windows | May 12 06:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | I saw something had gone wrong when the output report file showed 1.7 MB html file for TR | May 12 06:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | and I knew it was too big to be sane | May 12 06:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | I did not detect it until this morning because my monitoring script already use uniq | May 12 06:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | did you watch my short video about neon? | May 12 06:14 |
| Techrights-sec | I should look at Neon some time | May 12 06:14 |
| Techrights-sec | no I've seen few, text works best for me so I see the summaries in Gemini for | May 12 06:14 |
| Techrights-sec | the most part | May 12 06:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | to be fair toBT, so far this year the connection has been very stable | May 12 06:16 |
| schestowitz-TR | as long as they don's ilently patch and reboot I'm OK | May 12 06:16 |
| schestowitz-TR | sometimes I check the status before going to bed, to see if they sent a patch, as they reboot about 8 hours later | May 12 06:16 |
| schestowitz-TR | then, DNS is the main issue as gemini.techrights.org points to the wrong address | May 12 06:16 |
| schestowitz-TR | (aside from other issues) | May 12 06:16 |
| *DaemonFC has quit (Quit: Leaving) | May 12 06:27 | |
| Techrights-sec | Some ISPs don't have the competency to run even a DNS server and lack the | May 12 06:27 |
| Techrights-sec | paltry technical knowlege to know why it is important to have it close | May 12 06:27 |
| Techrights-sec | to the end user | May 12 06:27 |
| schestowitz-TR | me connects to gemini.techrights.org (my rsspi upstairs | May 12 06:29 |
| schestowitz-TR | me looks up DNS | May 12 06:29 |
| schestowitz-TR | me sends a packet across the Atlantic | May 12 06:29 |
| schestowitz-TR | Gulag reponds with an IP address | May 12 06:29 |
| schestowitz-TR | oh, wait, that's home | May 12 06:29 |
| schestowitz-TR | me connects to MY OWN HOME | May 12 06:29 |
| schestowitz-TR | Thanks, Gulag! | May 12 06:29 |
| Techrights-sec | the DNS listed on the RPi is your home BT router which probably serves as | May 12 06:30 |
| Techrights-sec | a cache too | May 12 06:30 |
| Techrights-sec | at least as far as the outgoing connections go | May 12 06:30 |
| schestowitz-TR | yes, I was exaggerating a bit | May 12 06:31 |
| schestowitz-TR | just checked resolv.conf | May 12 06:31 |
| schestowitz-TR | 192.168.x by default | May 12 06:31 |
| schestowitz-TR | and some ipv6 address otherwise | May 12 06:31 |
| schestowitz-TR | I assume it's put there by the ISP when connecting | May 12 06:32 |
| schestowitz-TR | let's see where that us... | May 12 06:32 |
| schestowitz-TR | *is | May 12 06:32 |

| schestowitz-TR | gulg | May 12 06:41 |
| schestowitz-TR | ssh port open on that | May 12 06:41 |

| schestowitz-TR | Assuming I did this correctly, at least I should be happy not to have an ISP that relays DNS lookups | May 12 06:43 |
| schestowitz-TR | across an ocean to foreign spying companies | May 12 06:43 |
| schestowitz-TR | it seems like it links to the router, which then does its own thing for DNS | May 12 06:43 |
| schestowitz-TR | maybe hidden away | May 12 06:43 |
| Techrights-sec | is it your BT router? It is one hop from your RPi | May 12 06:44 |
| Techrights-sec | SSH is usedthere | May 12 06:44 |
| Techrights-sec | yes if you look in the router's web admin interface it may tell where it is | May 12 06:44 |
| Techrights-sec | forwarding DNS requests to | May 12 06:44 |
| schestowitz | " To use a dynamic domain name system (DNS) service, you'll first need to register with a service provider. The service provider will send you the information that you'll need to set up your Hub (including your service username, password and host name). " | May 12 06:46 |
| schestowitz-TR | OK, 81.139.57.100 | May 12 06:47 |
| schestowitz-TR | and 81.139.57.100 | May 12 06:47 |
| schestowitz-TR | so unless I change this at the client end, it will default to the router, which uses that | May 12 06:47 |
| schestowitz-TR | oops | May 12 06:47 |
| schestowitz-TR | the second is 56, not 57 | May 12 06:47 |
| schestowitz-TR | the web interfact does not let me change that | May 12 06:47 |
| Techrights-sec | ack | May 12 06:47 |
| schestowitz-TR | the external drive on the pi started working really hard | May 12 07:10 |
| schestowitz-TR | I unmount'ed it | May 12 07:10 |
| schestowitz-TR | and we put the drive back in thr drawer | May 12 07:10 |
| schestowitz-TR | will swap over to another external anyway | May 12 07:10 |
| schestowitz-TR | good practice regardless | May 12 07:10 |
| schestowitz-TR | a bit extra physical effort | May 12 07:10 |
| schestowitz-TR | gemini served 5k pages in the first 7 hours of the day and other crucial things run off it | May 12 07:10 |
| schestowitz-TR | inc. rianne's working notes and mine | May 12 07:10 |
| schestowitz-TR | if we leave the job, rianne's noc pi with 2 VPNs can be repurpsosed for something else | May 12 07:10 |
| schestowitz-TR | note to internal, cannot verify yet: seems like spamnil now pays for spambots or clickbots | May 12 07:13 |
| schestowitz-TR | to boost the "views" of older vdideos | May 12 07:13 |
| schestowitz-TR | no other explanation given the pattern I observed last night | May 12 07:13 |
| schestowitz-TR | but it is hard to prove except by patterns | May 12 07:13 |
| Techrights-sec | could be | May 12 07:13 |
| schestowitz-TR | I know suh "services" exist for typical social control media | May 12 07:13 |
| schestowitz-TR | so gulagtube is likely covered tio | May 12 07:13 |
| schestowitz-TR | swapnil cannot market himself if the "guests" see the videos are viewed by almost nobody | May 12 07:13 |
| Techrights-sec | it would be somethig that would match his style | May 12 07:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | his web site, tfir.io, I still observe and sometimes mention in IRC | May 12 07:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | they have started hiding # of hits | May 12 07:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | because it was embarassing | May 12 07:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | I remember the counts in Muktware, more than 10 times higher | May 12 07:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | that site now boosts the worst of the worst | May 12 07:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | with the token "ontopic" thing | May 12 07:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | so you know it's all sponored junk | May 12 07:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | me cehecks | May 12 07:16 |
| schestowitz-TR | a) linux dot com | May 12 07:16 |
| schestowitz-TR | 2) tfir | May 12 07:16 |
| schestowitz-TR | c) gulagtube for patterns | May 12 07:16 |
| schestowitz-TR | 2 means b | May 12 07:23 |
| schestowitz-TR | seems you need JS to see the "eye" thing | May 12 07:23 |
| schestowitz-TR | wow, 24 views. Well done, googlebot | May 12 07:23 |
| schestowitz-TR | a) linuc.vom became a tribute to the dead CTO | May 12 07:24 |
| schestowitz-TR | I don't want to poke fun | May 12 07:24 |
| schestowitz-TR | he looks just a little over my age | May 12 07:24 |
| schestowitz-TR | they run a "memorial fund" for his kids' education | May 12 07:24 |
| schestowitz-TR | he seems to have 2 young kids | May 12 07:24 |
| schestowitz-TR | wikipedia says LF has 150 employees now | May 12 07:24 |
| schestowitz-TR | they run like a company | May 12 07:24 |
| schestowitz-TR | SJVN menions the death | May 12 07:24 |
| schestowitz-TR | but no details on where or how he died | May 12 07:24 |
| schestowitz-TR | based on the words, maybe tragic circumstances | May 12 07:24 |
| schestowitz-TR | and unexpected | May 12 07:24 |
| schestowitz-TR | his twitter account is still up | May 12 07:24 |
| schestowitz-TR | 566 followers | May 12 07:24 |
| schestowitz-TR | last tweet in January | May 12 07:24 |
| schestowitz-TR | so maybe health problems | May 12 07:24 |
| schestowitz-TR | they lost two managers in a year or two | May 12 07:24 |
| Techrights-sec | ack | May 12 07:24 |
| Techrights-sec | like a company? into the ground and then ask for a bailout? :/ | May 12 07:24 |
| schestowitz-TR | by lost I mean they died | May 12 07:29 |
| schestowitz-TR | very high-profile managers | May 12 07:29 |
| schestowitz-TR | not some random staff | May 12 07:29 |
| schestowitz-TR | I should not really say this, but linus does not seem healthy to me | May 12 07:29 |
| schestowitz-TR | I did not see medical records | May 12 07:29 |
| schestowitz-TR | I don't know him in person | May 12 07:29 |
| schestowitz-TR | I'm not a physician | May 12 07:29 |
| schestowitz-TR | but at 52 you are not supposed to have a body like that | May 12 07:29 |
| schestowitz-TR | I assume he had a treadmill as part of medical consulation (GP or wife, judo lady) | May 12 07:29 |
| schestowitz-TR | maybe he stopped using it | May 12 07:30 |
| schestowitz-TR | the linux.com tribute page for Shubhra Kar has only 164 views | May 12 07:30 |
| schestowitz-TR | compared to the usual 30-60 views | May 12 07:30 |
| Techrights-sec | no he has not looked to be in good shape since the attack which forced him out | May 12 07:30 |
| Techrights-sec | they probably still nibble at him to keep his stress levels high | May 12 07:30 |
| schestowitz-TR | which aren't impacted by cahe, the figure go up when I hit f5 | May 12 07:30 |
| schestowitz-TR | this is a shocking collapse of a once-good site | May 12 07:30 |
| schestowitz-TR | for a while spamnil used that like a tissue to get s few more hits for his failking videos | May 12 07:30 |
| schestowitz-TR | spamnil's channel has some popular videos, but they are not his | May 12 07:30 |
| schestowitz-TR | it's just some clips from stuff like debconf | May 12 07:30 |
| schestowitz-TR | he's like roel :-) | May 12 07:30 |
| schestowitz-TR | this is why rianne wanted to resign weeks ago | May 12 07:31 |
| schestowitz-TR | jon became more stressful | May 12 07:31 |
| schestowitz-TR | and lately her diet too became worse | May 12 07:31 |
| schestowitz-TR | (mine was OK, I quit giving a shit years ago, I'm "jut milklng") | May 12 07:31 |
| schestowitz-TR | let's see if wayback machine does the spamnil gulag channel | May 12 07:32 |
| Techrights-sec | dont feed it | May 12 07:32 |
| schestowitz-TR | screenshots only | May 12 07:33 |
| schestowitz-TR | they have one snapshot only this year, april | May 12 07:33 |
| schestowitz-TR | I have a method in mind, but I think these snapshots are insufficient | May 12 07:33 |
| Techrights-sec | ack | May 12 07:38 |
| Techrights-sec | :) | May 12 07:38 |
| schestowitz-TR | hahaha, I think I nailed it | May 12 07:39 |
| schestowitz-TR | let me get myself covered | May 12 07:39 |
| schestowitz-TR | with more bits of evidence | May 12 07:39 |
| schestowitz-TR | BUSTED! | May 12 07:39 |
| schestowitz-TR | this is not about a failure | May 12 07:39 |
| schestowitz-TR | but an ethical breach | May 12 07:39 |
| *u-amarsh04 has quit (Quit: Konversation terminated!) | May 12 07:40 | |
| Techrights-sec | yes, strategically much more important, though NVDIA's move, if sincere, is | May 12 07:44 |
| Techrights-sec | also valuable to advance Software Freedom | May 12 07:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | these sorts of posts are very time-consuming, but a lot more vaulable then YetAnorher(R) | May 12 07:58 |
| schestowitz-TR | NVIDIA yada yada open source blah blah | May 12 07:58 |
| schestowitz-TR | yes, I have just said this to rianne, very important | May 12 07:58 |
| schestowitz-TR | ntoice however I was referring to the COVERAGE of the new | May 12 07:58 |
