[05:59] schestowitz-TR I checked my router, no issue here [05:59] schestowitz-TR it seems like some other people also dropped the connection around that time [05:59] schestowitz-TR maybe some routing issue across the Atlantic [05:59] schestowitz-TR but this was a reminder of the high cost of such outages ESPECIALLY around 2-4AM when there are racing [05:59] schestowitz-TR conditions and several jobs running at certain times [05:59] schestowitz-TR *race conditions ● May 12 [06:00] Techrights-sec acck [06:00] Techrights-sec yes [06:04] schestowitz-TR be patient as later today I might know if I can do TR full-time [06:04] schestowitz-TR rianne already has a job contingency [06:04] schestowitz-TR not confirmed or anything, but we can cope OK [06:05] Techrights-sec ack [06:05] Techrights-sec is it ok to deduplicate the four logs from yesterday? [06:05] Techrights-sec ok [06:05] Techrights-sec ok [06:05] schestowitz-TR the chain of workflow meant that there are already text versions and gmi versions, [06:05] schestowitz-TR with them in ipfs and a hash [06:05] schestowitz-TR but for html we canoverrise what's on the main server, I suppose [06:10] Techrights-sec ok deduplication of yesterday's four HTML IRC logs is done [06:10] Techrights-sec no the dependencies are not there until the OS upgrade takes place [06:10] Techrights-sec had to download, process, upload. kept copies ofthe originals [06:11] schestowitz-TR just had to pay the annual fee (not much) for scifitness -- a site over a decade old [06:11] schestowitz-TR originally made as a contigency for my job [06:11] schestowitz-TR :-) [06:11] schestowitz-TR oh, good [06:11] schestowitz-TR did yoyu run it on the server side? [06:11] schestowitz-TR yes, site updates would be like a "job" if I leave the current one [06:11] schestowitz-TR TR is a much bigger job than TM [06:14] schestowitz-TR the duplication started around the time I updated and then rebooted kde neon, for the first time in a month [06:14] schestowitz-TR their update process reminds me of Windows [06:14] schestowitz-TR I saw something had gone wrong when the output report file showed 1.7 MB html file for TR [06:14] schestowitz-TR and I knew it was too big to be sane [06:14] schestowitz-TR I did not detect it until this morning because my monitoring script already use uniq [06:14] schestowitz-TR did you watch my short video about neon? [06:14] Techrights-sec I should look at Neon some time [06:14] Techrights-sec no I've seen few, text works best for me so I see the summaries in Gemini for [06:14] Techrights-sec the most part [06:16] schestowitz-TR to be fair toBT, so far this year the connection has been very stable [06:16] schestowitz-TR as long as they don's ilently patch and reboot I'm OK [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 [06:16] schestowitz-TR then, DNS is the main issue as gemini.techrights.org points to the wrong address [06:16] schestowitz-TR (aside from other issues) [06:27] *DaemonFC has quit (Quit: Leaving) [06:27] Techrights-sec Some ISPs don't have the competency to run even a DNS server and lack the [06:27] Techrights-sec paltry technical knowlege to know why it is important to have it close [06:27] Techrights-sec to the end user [06:29] schestowitz-TR me connects to gemini.techrights.org (my rsspi upstairs [06:29] schestowitz-TR me looks up DNS [06:29] schestowitz-TR me sends a packet across the Atlantic [06:29] schestowitz-TR Gulag reponds with an IP address [06:29] schestowitz-TR oh, wait, that's home [06:29] schestowitz-TR me connects to MY OWN HOME [06:29] schestowitz-TR Thanks, Gulag!

    [10:06] schestowitz

    This release is a significant step toward improving the experience of using NVIDIA GPUs in Linux, for tighter integration with the OS, and for developers to debug, integrate, and contribute back. For Linux distribution providers, the open-source modules increase ease of use. They also improve the out-of-the-box user experience to sign and distribute the NVIDIA GPU driver. Canonical and SUSE are able to [10:06] schestowitz immediately package the open kernel modules with Ubuntu and SUSE Linux Enterprise Distributions.
