    Could Unix Happen Today? Brian Kernighan Looks Back and Forward
    [08:58] -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell- ( status 404 @ https://thenewstack.io/could-unix-happen-today-brian-kernighan-looks-back-and-forward/">Could ) [08:58] schestowitz
    [08:58] schestowitz

    Or, as Kernighan told one interviewer in 2018, It was a wonderful place because there was an enormous number of really good people doing really interesting things and nobody telling you what to do As he looked back over at 50 years of Unix, Kernighan recalled Bell Labs as particularly congenial for this kind of thing. But he also remembered it as something he doesnt see as much of today. The [08:58] schestowitz environment itself was incredible, cooperative, collegial, and just a lot of fun.

    [08:58] schestowitz

    And this leads Kernighan to one of his last slides, asking: Could a Unix happen again?

With media data? Without media data? [23:20] schestowitz According to Morbius assessment data could be from few hundred gb to more than 4tb. There have been [23:20] schestowitz concerns about how to deal with users data privacy in this situation. [23:20] schestowitz Specifically can you hand over all user data to another entity or person? To me it is [23:20] schestowitz about weighing the interest in continuing joindiaspora up against users data privacy concerns. Joindiaspora users [23:20] schestowitz have had time to close their account. Therefore if user data is dealt with responsible then it can be [23:20] schestowitz handed over to another entity or person. I have the following suggestion. Get all user data downloaded on [23:20] schestowitz a hdd or usb memory stick. Put it in a sealed envelope. Then we have to find an entity or person to ship [23:20] schestowitz the user data to. I suggest the free software foundation. Let me hear your suggestions? If [23:20] schestowitz somehow it gets decided who will continue joindiaspora, then they will get the sealed envelope. Can [23:20] schestowitz we crowd fund such an action? Starting up joindiaspora again, user data privacy can be dealt with [23:20] schestowitz by deleting a user account if a given user has not logged in six month after joindiaspora restarted. This matter [23:20] schestowitz of joindiaspora stopping has occurred several times. For such an event instructions for the host [23:20] schestowitz should be present in advance and funded. Joindiaspora hoster should have storage ready for a user [23:20] schestowitz data backup. A sealed envelope. Postage funds. And know who to ship the package to. [23:21] schestowitz If joindiaspora continues by a new host, then the hosters conditions should be more [23:21] schestowitz regulated. How many hours working on joindiaspora each month? And host should [23:21] schestowitz not work more hours than agreed on. Also if that has implications on [23:21] schestowitz joindiaspora. Hosts kompensation?

[23:21] schestowitz That said, committing to a communication schedule would be appreciated. My own principle concern has been a lack of comms, advertised contacts not functioning, and in cases, shutting down of channels. Thats a recipe for concern and frictions. [23:21] schestowitz How about a once-a-week update on status, and specifically addressing problems encountered such as data exports failing for specific users. [23:21] schestowitz In the specific case of JoindiasporaCom email contacts, if there are accounts which dont work, they should be removed from public posts and content.

But I dont have answers to the questions you want answers to. At this time, the only thing I can answer are: were working on it, and you dont have to worry about the March 1st deadline. [23:22] schestowitz I am not going to provide you with speculations on what we think might happen. As soon as we know what will happen and when it will happen, we will make sure to let you know.

Recognise that if you cannot, you should make plans that exclude doing this, or involve alternate methods. (An automated profile walker that can web-scrape this content would be useful, I havent looked into this.) [23:22] schestowitz Ive been in the process of ensuring that old posts are both federated (to other Diaspora pods), and archived (at both the Internet Archive and Archive.Today). A fair bit of my content and the resulting discussions has been substantive, and Id like for that to live on. [23:22] schestowitz Ive also been working on tools for managing the Diaspora* data export JSON archives using jq, and posting updates to my stream on this. [23:22] schestowitz And theres a discussion for data export / import issues and tricks. as Ive posted above. [23:22] schestowitz See the #jq, #json, and #ArchiveIndex tags. [23:22] schestowitz For earlier and general migrating from social network instances planning and discussion, see #Plexodus [23:22] schestowitz Fla [23:23] schestowitz Fla - about an hour ago [23:23] schestowitz @Doc Edward Morbius (defunct account) actually we just released diaspora v0.7.16.0 which contains some improvements to the archive export, so better wait for joindiaspora to be updated before exporting the data. [23:23] schestowitz Doc Edward Morbius [23:23] schestowitz Doc Edward Morbius - 31 minutes ago [23:23] schestowitz @Fla Glad to hear that. [23:23] schestowitz Does this change data structures at all (e.g., fields exported), or mostly work around issues that people have had in generating exports at all? Checking the release announcement: [23:23] schestowitz Release Announcement: diaspora* version 0.7.16.0 released with security fixes! [23:23] schestowitz Fix CVE-2022-23633. #8336 [23:23] schestowitz Various improvements and fixes to the archive export and preparations for the upcoming account migration. #8265, #8310, #8263, #8288, #8309 and #8314 [23:23] schestowitz Show sharing status in hovercards. #8317 [23:23] schestowitz https://blog.diasporafoundation.org/71-diaspora-version-0-7-16-0-released-with-security-fixes [23:23] -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-blog.diasporafoundation.org | diaspora* version 0.7.16.0 released with security fixes! - The diaspora* Project [23:23] schestowitz Im seeing numerous mentions to account migration support. Being able to directly migrate to a new Pod without going through the Export / Import process would be great. [23:23] schestowitz If data changes are included, Im getting pretty good at writing and testing jq scripts (Ive come to understand it much better over the past few weeks), so reasonably minor changes shouldnt affect much. [23:23] schestowitz I would like to see blocked users included in the export, as theyre not presently AFAICT. [23:23] schestowitz I also noted that reshares dont seem to be mentioned. [23:23] schestowitz That said, most people here are probably concerned with import capabilities.
