[10:38] Techrights-sec NHS has been a target since 2012 or earlier [10:38] Techrights-sec best to comparmentalize IMO [10:38] Techrights-sec As mentioned it would be a good idea to physically remove the old drive ASAP [10:38] Techrights-sec How did the call with the boss go yestereday? You mentioned handing his ass to [10:38] Techrights-sec him but are there actual improvements in his behavior or will he stew? [10:40] schestowitz-TR the last step might be isolation of the drive [10:40] schestowitz-TR re work, the only two things I kept off the table are [10:40] schestowitz-TR HR as it is personal [10:40] schestowitz-TR talking about ethical issues with some clients [10:41] Techrights-sec as far as ethics go, is it ethical to spread M$ vulnerabilities into critical [10:41] Techrights-sec infrastructure and society in general given the curren realities of the [10:41] Techrights-sec "hybrid" war in Europe and the direction it has been heading faster and faster? [10:43] schestowitz-TR thankfully none of this involved Microsoft [10:43] schestowitz-TR but mostly outsource of internal operations [10:43] schestowitz-TR and I know who to blame for this [10:43] schestowitz-TR when I work so little per shift, and wiosh to keep it that way, [10:43] schestowitz-TR it limits my rople in decisions [10:43] schestowitz-TR but... [10:43] schestowitz-TR I really don't give a shift, as I am not a shareholder [10:43] schestowitz-TR if they want to burn themsselves, bny all means have at it [10:43] schestowitz-TR I won't even feel guilty as I am not culpable [10:44] schestowitz-TR in fatc, I'd have weritten record [10:44] schestowitz-TR of me caustioning them about all this [10:45] Techrights-sec But there was the NDA... [10:45] Techrights-sec M$ boosters always have and always will burn their own business to the ground [10:45] Techrights-sec rather than give an inch to proper technologies. [10:45] Techrights-sec Written documentation in that area is important. I hope that came up in your [10:45] Techrights-sec discussions yesterday. [10:47] schestowitz-TR NOT WRITTEN, BUT i RECORDED THE CONVO, FROM MY END ANYWAY [10:47] schestowitz-TR pardon caps [10:47] schestowitz-TR I choose phone as it's harder to BS on the spot [10:47] schestowitz-TR and it caught him off guard [10:47] schestowitz-TR but I put many of the same things in writting anfd thunderbird now makes full [10:47] schestowitz-TR IMPA copies offline [10:47] schestowitz-TR just in case there was erven an attempt to lock me ouy [10:47] schestowitz-TR *out [10:48] Techrights-sec yes, the real-time interaction makes certain kinds of bullshit harder [10:48] Techrights-sec to foist off on people [10:48] Techrights-sec ack ● Mar 18 [11:04] schestowitz-TR serious question: [11:04] schestowitz-TR do you want read/write access (or rwead only) to my working articles ftext files [11:04] schestowitz-TR and daily links file? [11:04] Techrights-sec not really, the current work flow is comfortable [11:04] Techrights-sec though there is always room for improvement [11:08] schestowitz-TR heh, my all-db file, the one that sotres 2 year's worth of daily links [11:08] schestowitz-TR (mostly for me to check for duplicates) [11:08] schestowitz-TR is nearly 200MB of plain text in size [11:08] schestowitz-TR I could never find a better apporoach [11:08] schestowitz-TR in the old days I'd do internal site search, but that was a lot slower [11:08] schestowitz-TR thgan scanning a large text file [11:08] schestowitz-TR can you think of a better way? [11:10] Techrights-sec sqlite3 might be better [11:10] Techrights-sec once the links are in HTML and validated by HTML Tidy, the URLs can be extracted and run over an SQLite3 database. [11:11] schestowitz-TR here's the snag [11:11] schestowitz-TR url is not enough [11:11] schestowitz-TR as sometimes urls and titles do change [11:11] schestowitz-TR so I need a bit from post excerpt too [11:11] schestowitz-TR to be sure I do not link to something I did befor [11:12] schestowitz-TR the downside is kate takingup over 1gb of ram, assuming I want an archive [11:12] schestowitz-TR wghich goes this far back [11:14] Techrights-sec URL is the closes one can get, unless the same record can have multiple URLs [11:14] Techrights-sec The current work flow here is to check only the last two calendar months. [11:14] Techrights-sec It's less efficient than it could be. Again, sqlite3 is rather convenient [11:16] schestowitz-TR wait, I am being so thikck [11:16] schestowitz-TR I could just write an interface to scan the file without having it open in the text edtiro [11:16] schestowitz-TR this would free up a lot of ram [11:16] Techrights-sec yep [11:16] Techrights-sec grep would work for a flat file [11:16] Techrights-sec or awk [11:16] Techrights-sec or perl [11:34] schestowitz-TR lol, all-db is 4.1 million lines [11:34] schestowitz-TR I will automate some more things, will push to gitg shortly [11:34] schestowitz-TR thanks for tidying things upo [11:34] schestowitz-TR earliert today I tested the planet stufff and it still works as before [11:34] schestowitz-TR I am going to start doing git directly via the pi [11:34] schestowitz-TR I have just tested simple grep [11:34] schestowitz-TR I will add custom stuff like -a and -b to show some context [11:35] schestowitz grep -a1 -b1 --color=always nreview.org/collection/hainhofer-stammb /home/roy/Desktop/Text_Workspace/all-db.txt [11:35] Techrights-sec https://man.openbsd.org/style [11:35] Techrights-sec np [11:35] Techrights-sec readability is important for maintenace [11:35] -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-man.openbsd.org | style(9) - OpenBSD manual pages [11:37] Techrights-sec ack [11:37] Techrights-sec maybe the -A and -B need to be uppercase? [11:38] schestowitz-TR works ok in my version of grep on debian 10 [11:38] schestowitz-TR I've just freed up a lot of RAM [11:38] schestowitz-TR well overdue, owing to all this refactoring and tidying [11:40] Techrights-sec -a == process binary file as text [11:40] Techrights-sec -A == show the next line [11:40] Techrights-sec -b == byte offset [11:40] Techrights-sec -B == show the previous line(s) [11:41] schestowitz-TR ok, I think I see what's going on here [11:42] schestowitz-TR if there is no space before the number, than uppsercase implied i think [11:42] schestowitz-TR same output as when uppsrcase is used [11:42] Techrights-sec very strange [11:42] Techrights-sec those settings are the same across all greps that I know of [11:42] schestowitz-TR same in mine, as per the manpages that I saw [11:43] schestowitz-TR but I think it tries to correct an error [11:43] schestowitz-TR assuming I meant something else [11:50] Techrights-sec maybe a bug [11:54] schestowitz-TR kate ram usage down from 700-14000 to just 60mb [11:54] schestowitz-TR my notes are now written to the pi [11:54] schestowitz-TR for backups sake it would be nice to have an editor that can pew out svaes to two different deviuces at once [11:54] schestowitz-TR like a multiplexer [11:54] schestowitz-TR I am sure such a thing exist [11:54] schestowitz-TR *exists [11:54] schestowitz-TR other than running some slave process/daemon to periodically replicate [11:54] Techrights-sec inotify incron? [11:56] schestowitz-TR I've just used gulag to see if there is any such thing in kate, but it seems not [11:56] schestowitz-TR maygbe it keeps some local cashe, I think ti does something locally if you write over *ftp* or ssh [11:57] Techrights-sec incron can watch the specific file and then run a script when the file gets [11:57] Techrights-sec changed, the script can attempt to copy the file to a second location [11:57] schestowitz-TR yes, I thought about inotify, but the pi does not have an external storage device attached and opening an ssh pipe each time I press save seems like an overkill [11:58] schestowitz-TR those are important working files, I still don't know what to do about thunderbird because it's like 30GB in size [11:59] *Despatche has quit (Quit: Read error: Connection reset by deer) ● Mar 18 [12:02] Techrights-sec thunderbird is a hog [12:13] Techrights-sec not yet [12:13] Techrights-sec ack [12:13] schestowitz-TR i am going to cron the planet thing [12:13] schestowitz-TR I don't suppose we have crontab in version control [12:14] schestowitz-TR I've made a copy of the file under ~/bin with "gemini" prefix and have it update every 3 hours [12:14] schestowitz-TR the more important bits are the imported bits [12:14] schestowitz-TR my important working files are not in /home/pi [12:15] schestowitz-TR *now in [12:15] schestowitz-TR I am trying to classify which parts of my systems are still "moving poarts" [12:15] schestowitz-TR and which ones are just sittigng there never changing [12:15] schestowitz-TR which means that backing them up over and over aqgain can be wasteful [12:15] schestowitz-TR I can back them up ujust ones to 3 external disks and that is it [12:27] Techrights-sec ack [12:27] Techrights-sec that's very many [12:56] schestowitz-TR git push [12:56] schestowitz-TR added a thig i ALIAS AS JUST "B" IN BASH [12:56] schestowitz-TR THAT WILL MLET let me look things up fast ● Mar 18 [13:32] *Techrights-sec has quit (Quit: http://quassel-irc.org - Chat comfortably.
