| schestowitz-TR | the person whom you thought was trolling | Mar 20 02:38 |
|---|---|---|
| schestowitz-TR | and I too suspectecdd of it | Mar 20 02:38 |
| schestowitz-TR | was in fact ender | Mar 20 02:38 |
| schestowitz-TR | who had become she around 5 years go | Mar 20 02:38 |
| schestowitz-TR | ender (brandon) is not a troll | Mar 20 02:38 |
| schestowitz-TR | how about this: | Mar 20 03:09 |
| schestowitz-TR | -migrate 'working directory, stuff that changes more often, to the pi | Mar 20 03:09 |
| schestowitz-TR | then access all things over LAN | Mar 20 03:09 |
| schestowitz-TR | the rest gets offloaded to 3 external drives and basically left to | Mar 20 03:09 |
| schestowitz-TR | be archived on these | Mar 20 03:09 |
| schestowitz-TR | a lot of the files on /home/roy are things which very rarely change | Mar 20 03:09 |
| schestowitz-TR | in the past I already archives some | Mar 20 03:09 |
| schestowitz-TR | <I generally find that beefy /home/roy was always a bad idea | Mar 20 03:09 |
| schestowitz-TR | as that means making backup of the same unchanged stuff | Mar 20 03:09 |
| schestowitz-TR | over and over again | Mar 20 03:09 |
| schestowitz-TR | taking longe rand tasking more space | Mar 20 03:09 |
| schestowitz-TR | I really need to start classifying things | Mar 20 03:10 |
| schestowitz-TR | and properly study what actually changes on my disk in an | Mar 20 03:10 |
| schestowitz-TR | everyday fashion | Mar 20 03:10 |
| schestowitz-TR | lots of lateral thingking here, easier in retrospect/hindsight | Mar 20 03:10 |

| Techrights-sec | rsync can use hardlinks to save space and the algorithm itself reduces | Mar 20 07:52 |
| Techrights-sec | time and bandwidth/diskaccess by copying only the changes, not whole files~. | Mar 20 07:52 |
| Techrights-sec | see /tmp//tmp/foo-build-dirs.sh and /tmp/home-backup-luks.sh here | Mar 20 07:52 |
| schestowitz-TR | thanks, I have made some spare/buffer time to carry on organising the files and move away what barely changes, to secure older data | Mar 20 07:53 |
| schestowitz-TR | as for rsync, sometimes it's not best if you want complete older stacks in case you want to go back to some older state of older files that existed before | Mar 20 07:54 |
| Techrights-sec | That's what the --link-dest option does. I forgot to add that if not date is | Mar 20 07:58 |
| Techrights-sec | (day) is given then the current day number is used, but if 00 is given then the | Mar 20 07:58 |
| Techrights-sec | baseline for that month is used instead. So one way to use it is to run 00 at | Mar 20 07:58 |
| Techrights-sec | the begining of the month and then everything for the rest of the month is | Mar 20 07:58 |
| Techrights-sec | automatically an incremental backup. Using that directory structure with the | Mar 20 07:58 |
| Techrights-sec | script will provide a year's worth of incremental backups with minimal | Mar 20 07:58 |
| Techrights-sec | wasted space. | Mar 20 07:58 |
| Techrights-sec | however, it's not set (yet) so that 00 for each month does --link-dest to the | Mar 20 08:02 |
| Techrights-sec | previous month's 00 Should it? | Mar 20 08:02 |
| schestowitz-TR | I have not looked at these files yet | Mar 20 08:03 |
| schestowitz-TR | at the moment my goal is to shrink ,my home directory, mostly by shaelving away | Mar 20 08:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | a lot of things on a drive I can trust better | Mar 20 08:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | i still don't know what to do with thunderbird | Mar 20 08:04 |
| Techrights-sec | mozilla still doesn't eaither :/ | Mar 20 08:04 |
| Techrights-sec | ^either | Mar 20 08:04 |
| Techrights-sec | they'v been trying to kill it passively for a very long tie | Mar 20 08:07 |
| Techrights-sec | time | Mar 20 08:07 |
| schestowitz-TR | I built up lots ofg data in it | Mar 20 08:08 |
| schestowitz-TR | so any email migration would be a massive task | Mar 20 08:08 |
| schestowitz-TR | having said that, they have killed so many exxtentions that I have | Mar 20 08:08 |
| schestowitz-TR | used in thunderbird over the years | Mar 20 08:08 |
| schestowitz-TR | for their 'vanilla' consolidation | Mar 20 08:08 |
| schestowitz-TR | so in effect it's mostly the data that I look tom protect | Mar 20 08:08 |
| Techrights-sec | there are two mailbox formats some programs use one others use the other | Mar 20 08:11 |
| Techrights-sec | happy equinox, by the way | Mar 20 08:54 |
| schestowitz-TR | I totally forgot about it | Mar 20 08:54 |
| schestowitz-TR | the plan today is, | Mar 20 08:54 |
| schestowitz-TR | record about patents | Mar 20 08:54 |
| schestowitz-TR | before that | Mar 20 08:54 |
| schestowitz-TR | a letter related to the strike of Tuesday | Mar 20 08:54 |
| schestowitz-TR | and then organising files, mostly shelving files I rarely access or alter | Mar 20 08:54 |
| schestowitz-TR | lately quite a few old timers came back to irc | Mar 20 09:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | which I find interesting | Mar 20 09:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | lack of social control media activity from me had no effect on | Mar 20 09:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | anything | Mar 20 09:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | I will think of ways to interact and to share documents better | Mar 20 09:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | colleboration and all | Mar 20 09:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | I have more spare time, I can add more links quicker | Mar 20 09:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | owing to tossing social control media inm the bin | Mar 20 09:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | a lot of the work I do with the file is tidying things I should have | Mar 20 09:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | tidied like a decade ago | Mar 20 09:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | but was too busy catching upo and putting out | Mar 20 09:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | fires | Mar 20 09:01 |
| schestowitz | irc: caught up (been very busy lately, harder to police, but not a single restriction there, not even mutes) | Mar 20 09:04 |
| schestowitz | gem: planet runs OK, it helps me add some links to gemini. I see 2,255 capsules now. It's still growing. | Mar 20 09:04 |
| schestowitz | suepo: last night I saw tons of told notes with leaks from stuff. After >5 years maybe some of them can become articles | Mar 20 09:04 |
| schestowitz | record: around midnight I'll start recording, but I need to think how to now make these repetitive, e.g. bashing gulag news | Mar 20 09:04 |
| schestowitz | maybe the approach of analysing the dataset can be refined | Mar 20 09:04 |
| schestowitz | seeing there's not much "Real News" there anyhow.... | Mar 20 09:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | I means staff, not stuff. I don't interact with suepo, I can speak directly to staff | Mar 20 09:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | *meanty | Mar 20 09:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | *meant | Mar 20 09:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | change of plans. I will record as soon as I fionished the poost, just done daily links | Mar 20 09:30 |
| schestowitz-TR | cvey slow news day today in general | Mar 20 09:30 |
| schestowitz-TR | 3pm there;'s important football match | Mar 20 09:30 |
| schestowitz-TR | and I want to organise files etc. while it is transcoding | Mar 20 09:30 |
| Techrights-sec | I wish there were some metrics to show the numbers but the news gets slower every week with occasional major decreases t | Mar 20 09:31 |
| Techrights-sec | hat never recover. | Mar 20 09:31 |
| schestowitz-TR | so you can make up by,e g. adding gemini | Mar 20 09:32 |
| schestowitz-TR | or by casting the net wider | Mar 20 09:32 |
| schestowitz-TR | or adding, changing scope/topics | Mar 20 09:32 |
| schestowitz-TR | there are things we cannot control | Mar 20 09:32 |
| schestowitz-TR | like what OTHERS publish | Mar 20 09:32 |
| schestowitz-TR | OOPS, CAPS | Mar 20 09:32 |
| schestowitz-TR | similarly, gulag noise is shite partly because it's GIGO | Mar 20 09:32 |
| schestowitz-TR | garbage in, garbage out | Mar 20 09:32 |
| Techrights-sec | I spend more time dredging RSS / Atom feeds It is *very* time consuming with | Mar 20 09:32 |
| Techrights-sec | low yield. | Mar 20 09:32 |

| schestowitz-TR | draft | Mar 20 18:33 |
| schestowitz-TR | earlier on I rewrote ota with something else by mistake | Mar 20 18:33 |
| schestowitz-TR | today I do lots of organisation of the file system | Mar 20 18:33 |
| schestowitz-TR | later I will look into the said scripts and see how to improve backups | Mar 20 18:33 |
| schestowitz-TR | this is long overdue | Mar 20 18:33 |
| Techrights-sec | 1;3A | Mar 20 18:33 |
| Techrights-sec | ack | Mar 20 18:33 |
| schestowitz-TR | I will carry on using this machine | Mar 20 18:34 |
| schestowitz-TR | but the important data won't be on it | Mar 20 18:34 |
| Techrights-sec | no data should be on it. best to at least unmount the offending drive if not | Mar 20 18:34 |
| Techrights-sec | actually taking it out physically. | Mar 20 18:34 |
| schestowitz-TR | eventually | Mar 20 18:38 |
| schestowitz-TR | as a side note, rianne and I have just spoken a lot about the kettle | Mar 20 18:56 |
| schestowitz-TR | it broken down after about 12 months | Mar 20 18:56 |
| schestowitz-TR | the one porior to that lasted 6 or 7 years | Mar 20 18:56 |
| schestowitz-TR | you can never buy kicthen appliances anymore to last decades | Mar 20 18:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | for now I use the simple coffee machine instead | Mar 20 18:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | because I have zero confidence in antoiher kettle | Mar 20 18:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | no longer the make | Mar 20 18:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | this one was not a bad brand | Mar 20 18:57 |
| Techrights-sec | Mar 20 18:58 | |
| Techrights-sec | word on the street is that they are engineered to fail around the warranty | Mar 20 18:58 |
| Techrights-sec | expiration. Several sales people I know have commented that personally. | Mar 20 18:58 |
| Techrights-sec | I had one kettle which lasted more than ten years. It was top quality and | Mar 20 18:58 |
| Techrights-sec | excellent form, function, and durability. Eventually it rusted through at | Mar 20 18:58 |
| Techrights-sec | a seam and that was that. | Mar 20 18:58 |
| schestowitz-TR | yes, this one was rusting after justa year | Mar 20 18:59 |
| schestowitz-TR | and was still on and off | Mar 20 18:59 |
| schestowitz-TR | working and not working this past week or 5 days | Mar 20 18:59 |
| schestowitz-TR | so we know the issue wasn't at the coil level | Mar 20 18:59 |
| schestowitz-TR | maybe some other mechanism | Mar 20 18:59 |
| schestowitz-TR | maybe even thermostat | Mar 20 18:59 |
| schestowitz-TR | either way, as a form of protest rianne is just boiling water on the hob now | Mar 20 18:59 |
| Techrights-sec | I figure that one lasted for a more than satisfactory period of time with | Mar 20 19:00 |
| Techrights-sec | rather heavy use. | Mar 20 19:00 |
| Techrights-sec | That works. A bunsen burner works too. | Mar 20 19:01 |
| Techrights-sec | A lid on the pot speeds things up greatly. | Mar 20 19:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | thanks for the tip | Mar 20 19:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | this more or less reaffirm the decision that we implicitly made | Mar 20 19:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | a side perk of the drive issue, which I reckon goes months back because of the recovery | Mar 20 19:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | message I was seeing, is that it forces me to untangle a maze or a web of scattered files | Mar 20 19:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | the "desktop with 300 files" syndrome | Mar 20 19:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | adding up over timea | Mar 20 19:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | and slowing down any attempt to actually find what you are looking for | Mar 20 19:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | rianne has this issue as well | Mar 20 19:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | I found lots of EPO stuff along the way, unpublished material | Mar 20 19:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | that can one day be safely published | Mar 20 19:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | I still have lots about github | Mar 20 19:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | I reckon we got rid of 3 managers already | Mar 20 19:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | that we know of PUBLICLY | Mar 20 19:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | sometimes I can react to some event in the news by pulling something out | Mar 20 19:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | of | Mar 20 19:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | the stash | Mar 20 19:04 |
| Techrights-sec | The old way of making coffee works that way too. Boil water, throw in | Mar 20 19:05 |
| Techrights-sec | the 'right' amount of coarsely ground coffe, and when it sinks it is done. | Mar 20 19:05 |
| Techrights-sec | recoll helps | Mar 20 19:05 |
| Techrights-sec | it can parse a lot of file types | Mar 20 19:05 |
| Techrights-sec | a citation manager would help a lot but the only FOSS one I know of is Zotero | Mar 20 19:05 |
| Techrights-sec | and the standalone version has an unusable UI | Mar 20 19:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | I have been using "db" as aliad for search-db and so far it has worked decently | Mar 20 19:06 |
| schestowitz-TR | lowering my RAM usage by about 1GB | Mar 20 19:06 |
| schestowitz-TR | I let it add up over time when I finally got a machine with over 2GB of RAM | Mar 20 19:07 |
| schestowitz-TR | in total | Mar 20 19:07 |
| Techrights-sec | Yes, the RPi4 has 4GB | Mar 20 19:07 |
| Techrights-sec | Most web browsers use > 2GB with no pages loaded, just a single empty tab | Mar 20 19:07 |
