[08:44] Techrights-sec2 those are separate scripts for now [08:44] Techrights-sec2 thanks [08:44] Techrights-sec2 there is an obnoxious variant of vi on alpine, I have to figure out what's the [08:44] Techrights-sec2 deal with that and if it can be countered [08:44] Techrights-sec2 the sqlite3 database is the authority for TM, from it new layouts and pages [08:44] Techrights-sec2 can be generated, it is also there to force an absolute, rigid structure on [08:44] Techrights-sec2 the data contained within [08:47] schestowitz-TR btw, tuxmachines is not "orginal" "content" but techrgihts is [08:47] schestowitz-TR but thinking about it, putting pertinent static pages in git would not be a good idea [08:47] schestowitz-TR as that would not keep sqlite in sync and basically manifest two versions with possibly [08:47] schestowitz-TR conflicting edits [08:47] schestowitz-TR the techrights DB grows a lot faster because of Daily Links for the most part [08:47] schestowitz-TR I've just checked db dumps, they are OK [08:47] schestowitz-TR dmesg shows very few xfs-related messages [08:47] schestowitz-TR but sometimes some gz files can still 'fail' [08:47] schestowitz-TR when I say "few" I mean, I observed maybe 1 or 2 warnings per day [08:47] schestowitz-TR having that said, after xfs_repair it seems like the issue isn't critical [08:47] schestowitz-TR from the lenses of kaniini, I don't want to bother too much [08:47] schestowitz-TR seeing that everything generally works, inc. the lion's share of backups, [08:47] schestowitz-TR as we transitioned to a more "modern" and robust workflow, system [08:48] Techrights-sec2 ok but file system problems are very worrysome even if they are "just" warnings [08:52] schestowitz-TR I agree.
