schestowitz-TR2gmAug 22 07:00
schestowitz-TR2productive nightAug 22 07:00
schestowitz-TR2but my alarm failed to work 2 nights in a rowAug 22 07:01
schestowitz-TR2no big deal, sleep is healthyAug 22 07:01
schestowitz-TR2I was thinking, if we convert camelcase in "readon" into "title", then adding something similar in gemini should be easy and doneAug 22 07:01
schestowitz-TR2in the same loopAug 22 07:01
schestowitz-TR2so though I'm tempted to do this at my end, would take like 2 mins, it would not cover rianne's linksAug 22 07:01
schestowitz-TR2last night I checked the image uploader againAug 22 07:01
Techrights-secgmAug 22 07:01
Techrights-secyes.  still thinking about workflow, howeverAug 22 07:01
Techrights-secthere are about 1000 hosts missing from the list atmAug 22 07:01
Techrights-sectm covers a different constellation of sites than trAug 22 07:01
schestowitz-TR2during that same pass maybe links in <li<a></a></li> can also have site name added in some way, maybe like in TRAug 22 07:03
schestowitz-TR2<em>Site name</em>: <A ...Aug 22 07:03
schestowitz-TR2it would be effoert-free once set upAug 22 07:03
schestowitz-TR2Even a year ago I was thinking, we miss the opportunity to identify source names like in TR daily linksAug 22 07:03
schestowitz-TR2even with the very same linksAug 22 07:03
Techrights-secin the feed-like list?Aug 22 07:10
Techrights-secI'm also thinking that the lists for TR and TM should be maintained separatelyAug 22 07:10
Techrights-secsince it would be difficult to try to keep the one file synchronizedAug 22 07:10
Techrights-secokAug 22 07:10
schestowitz-TR2pretty much every single TM link will also be posted in TRAug 22 07:11
schestowitz-TR2but not the other way aroundAug 22 07:11
schestowitz-TR2so TM is in effect a subsetAug 22 07:11
schestowitz-TR2thinking about this, the camelcase list is available over the web/gemini, not just git/sshAug 22 07:23
schestowitz-TR2so overnight you could have TM updated the latest version of it remaotelyAug 22 07:23
schestowitz-TR2I set my side to always fetch and update to the latest before Daily Links batrch gets processedAug 22 07:23
Techrights-secackAug 22 07:23
schestowitz-TR2fro the time being tm.org/git:1965 is very very simple and not publicAug 22 07:24
schestowitz-TR2but at least there's something basic to work withAug 22 07:24
schestowitz-TR2it has like 5 times fewer files than TRAug 22 07:24
schestowitz-TR2so I flattered the dirsAug 22 07:24

schestowitz-TR2if it makes you feel any better (it does make me), people have become extremely cynical about MSMAug 22 09:11
schestowitz-TR2a poll in the US showed how severe this has becomeAug 22 09:11
schestowitz-TR2and it's not a "wing" thingAug 22 09:11
schestowitz-TR2it's a class thingAug 22 09:11
schestowitz-TR2people recognise who owns large publishera and misuses that ownhershipAug 22 09:11
Techrights-secCynicism is not enough, it only drives people into social control media where they then become victim to better organized disinformation campaignsAug 22 09:12
schestowitz-TR2after years of "herding" (correct term) the "masses" (like cattle) into social control media I think there's an awakening about its perils tooAug 22 09:13
Techrights-secyes, among some small subset of older adults, but not among younger adults or  Aug 22 09:13
Techrights-secyouthAug 22 09:13
schestowitz-TR2so this is an area which needs working onAug 22 09:14
schestowitz-TR2we have a lot of new "young blood" in techrights IRCAug 22 09:14
schestowitz-TR2people aged under 18, who use IRC   Aug 22 09:14
schestowitz-TR2they also use the network for secure private commsAug 22 09:15
Techrights-secexcellentAug 22 09:15
Techrights-secIRC is not secure in any way, shape, or formAug 22 09:15
schestowitz-TR2ours uses ssl, but they don't use e2eeAug 22 09:16
schestowitz-TR2having said that, they rely on us not snooping on themAug 22 09:16
schestowitz-TR2their isp cannot decipher things afaikAug 22 09:16
Techrights-secthat's not sufficient :(Aug 22 09:16
Techrights-secthough it might helpAug 22 09:16
schestowitz-TR2of course also no web-basedAug 22 09:16
schestowitz-TR2you don't know what the server and/or the js doAug 22 09:16
Techrights-secall bets are off if it goes through a web browser, the laundry list of       Aug 22 09:18
Techrights-seccompromised certificates which can be used to MitM the connection is quiteAug 22 09:18
Techrights-seclong and the, as you remind, there is javascriptAug 22 09:18
schestowitz-TR2some haxor complained that the ssl is done with LE for IRCAug 22 09:20
schestowitz-TR2I get his pointAug 22 09:20
schestowitz-TR2aka "techuser"Aug 22 09:20
schestowitz-TR2he brought many people his age group to ircAug 22 09:20
schestowitz-TR2---Aug 22 09:34
schestowitz-TR2thanks for improving url.sh, I've copied that to the working dir and testedAug 22 09:34
schestowitz-TR2specifying dimensions is hardAug 22 09:34
schestowitz-TR2when you just do it the quick and dirtyAug 22 09:34
schestowitz-TR2not automatedAug 22 09:34
schestowitz-TR2wayAug 22 09:34
schestowitz-TR2it does help get the page layout correct the first time around, before knowing anything about image in situAug 22 09:34

schestowitz-TR2now, to improve the site, let's add proprietary fontAug 22 09:36
schestowitz-TR22MB of glyphsAug 22 09:36
schestowitz-TR2for all the unicide and emojisAug 22 09:36
schestowitz-TR2to improve those 200KB pages :-)Aug 22 09:36

schestowitz-TR2<something  googlefonts...something>Aug 22 09:37
schestowitz-TR2even the EU government sites do this BSAug 22 09:37
schestowitz-TR2and regulators warned them to at least host these fonts locally Aug 22 09:38
schestowitz-TR2I don't see why browsers should be in the font businessAug 22 09:38
schestowitz-TR2for GIMP, OK... you work in raster spaceAug 22 09:38

Techrights-secBrowsers should /not/ be in the typeface business.  That is a very old sore     Aug 22 09:51
Techrights-secpointAug 22 09:51
Techrights-secThe web is for content not layoutAug 22 09:51
Techrights-secconstrained layout is anathema to accessibility and, to a certain extent, Aug 22 09:51
Techrights-secusabilityAug 22 09:51
Techrights-secThe more the end user loses control over the presentation and rendering,Aug 22 09:51
Techrights-secthe worse the accessibility and usability.Aug 22 09:51
schestowitz-TR2nowadays browsers are also pdf viewersAug 22 09:54
schestowitz-TR2I never understoof why firefox wished to maintain a whole pdf engine inside their binariesAug 22 09:54
schestowitz-TR2security aspects asideAug 22 09:54
schestowitz-TR2there are also additional libs you need at runtimeAug 22 09:54
schestowitz-TR2then there's the whole video playback mode (like outside the browser)Aug 22 09:54
schestowitz-TR2thatg's like mplayerAug 22 09:54
schestowitz-TR2I was about to type earlier (but did not) that in education they need to introduce some penalties for students who extend and extend software to Aug 22 09:54
schestowitz-TR2the point where the extensions cannot justidy the costAug 22 09:54
schestowitz-TR2a lot of projkects die this wayAug 22 09:54
schestowitz-TR2Flash use to run ok on a few megabytes or ram and most cpuAug 22 09:54
schestowitz-TR2in the early shockwave days too  Aug 22 09:54

schestowitz-TR2modest single-code cpu and *few MBss OF RAM.Aug 22 09:55

schestowitz-TR2wget drupal/org ... downloads ... x.x.zip | unzip ... | cd x.x. | ls -la | wc -lAug 22 10:00
schestowitz-TR2how many is that by now, not even counting any extensions?Aug 22 10:00
schestowitz-TR2without them, not much functionality is even availableAug 22 10:00
schestowitz-TR2and verison x+1.x will break compatibilityAug 22 10:00
schestowitz-TR2sometimes the schema too becomes obsoleteAug 22 10:00
schestowitz-TR2within a few yearsAug 22 10:00
schestowitz-TR2you cannot run sites for 20 years llike thisAug 22 10:00
schestowitz-TR2susan moaned that each "upgrade" in drupal was like starting all over againAug 22 10:00
schestowitz-TR2because old things were no longer compatibleAug 22 10:00
schestowitz-TR2also, there's no upgrade route, esp. not if you leap 2 versions at a timeAug 22 10:00
schestowitz-TR2like 6->8Aug 22 10:00
schestowitz-TR29 is already out, I thinkAug 22 10:00
schestowitz-TR2wordpress is at 6.0.x now (like Linux this autumnAug 22 10:01
schestowitz-TR2in my sites I never even touched 4.xAug 22 10:01

schestowitz-TR2a mantra I always loved: "NEWER IS NOT ALWAYS BETTER"Aug 22 10:04
schestowitz-TR2it's newerAug 22 10:04
schestowitz-TR2better? subjectiveAug 22 10:04
schestowitz-TR2my sister struggled a lot after being pushed to move from Debian 10 to 11Aug 22 10:04
schestowitz-TR2I told her to keep resistingAug 22 10:04
schestowitz-TR2she managed for about 6 monthsAug 22 10:04
schestowitz-TR2the "upgrade" meant a lot of things she was accustomed to no longer workjedAug 22 10:04
schestowitz-TR2not necessarily Debian's faulytAug 22 10:04
schestowitz-TR2but "third parties"Aug 22 10:04
schestowitz-TR2they keep using "security" to compel endless upgradeAug 22 10:04
schestowitz-TR2instead they should study how to improve security and harden/lock down stuffAug 22 10:04
schestowitz-TR2cURL's (GitHub) Daniel has just mentioned the many CVEsAug 22 10:04
schestowitz-TR2a blog post from this morningAug 22 10:04

schestowitz-TR2you may seen i today's irc logsAug 22 10:16
schestowitz-TR2*inAug 22 10:16
schestowitz-TR2the ads became "news"Aug 22 10:16
schestowitz-TR2and "news" became censoredAug 22 10:16
schestowitz-TR2i asked eff why no coverage on epoAug 22 10:16
schestowitz-TR2now that we have leaks about their swpats strategtAug 22 10:16
Techrights-secnot yetAug 22 10:16
Techrights-secyes that has been a growing trendAug 22 10:16
schestowitz-TR2I will chase again laterAug 22 10:16

schestowitz-TR2like LFAug 22 10:27
schestowitz-TR2not barking up the "wrong" treesAug 22 10:27
schestowitz-TR2instead reaching out for low-hanging fruit on the branchAug 22 10:27
schestowitz-TR2like women's rightsAug 22 10:27
schestowitz-TR2women are impacted by tech issuesAug 22 10:27
schestowitz-TR2but tech issues are not gendered or race-related Aug 22 10:27
schestowitz-TR2tech in general harms society if misusedAug 22 10:27
schestowitz-TR2painting their activism as protecting the vulnerable MINORITIES and WOMEN means they add another layer of divisionAug 22 10:27
schestowitz-TR2where none was neededAug 22 10:27
schestowitz-TR2you now see dumb techdirt doing trump this trump thatAug 22 10:27
schestowitz-TR2as if certain tech issues are a trump thingAug 22 10:27

Techrights-secfacts or data.  For them, the issues exist only as political footballs andAug 22 10:28
Techrights-secnot as problems to solve or goals to acheive.Aug 22 10:28
schestowitz-TR2the british championed these strategiesAug 22 10:29
schestowitz-TR2but likely did not pioneered themAug 22 10:29

schestowitz-TR2it's not an overpop[ulation issueAug 22 10:56
schestowitz-TR2blame the pipesAug 22 10:56

schestowitz-TR2the gardens don't need watering MOREAug 22 10:56
schestowitz-TR2it's the pipesAug 22 10:56
schestowitz-TR2also, maybe instead of making pipes for bombs we should install newers pipes undergroundAug 22 10:56
schestowitz-TR2but this blame-shifting annoys me a great dealAug 22 10:56
schestowitz-TR2why ALL OF A SUDDENT they worry about pipe leaks?Aug 22 10:56

schestowitz-TR2what a bizarre measureAug 22 10:58
schestowitz-TR2why 15 minutes Aug 22 10:58
schestowitz-TR2expand to 24 hoursAug 22 10:58
schestowitz-TR2and then the number does not seem as bigAug 22 10:58

schestowitz-TR2Spent a long time search in vain for any data on gitlab and github losing/gaining market share as chart. You'd think with all that "fake" "media" out there someone would have researched this already, but there seem to be no comparative measurements at all. They all fake it. PR and secret data to secure the PR.Aug 22 18:21
schestowitz-TR2 There is hardly tech media anymore. PR and marketing operations that call themselves "media companies" aren't media companies but advertisers, sellouts. They literally lie, even intentionally, for companies and orgs.Aug 22 18:21
