-TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-@schestowitz@joindiaspora.com: TIL (and wasted nearly an hour learning) that chaining or piping grep into sed with tail -f and vice versa isn't a good idea. I still don't know why though... Jul 25 05:00
Techrights-secI often pipe tail -f into grep, awk, or perlJul 25 05:00
Techrights-secWhere did you get stuck?Jul 25 05:00
schestowitz-TRdid you then pipe that into sed too?Jul 25 05:01
Techrights-secnot often, so I can't recall buffering problems or not with sedJul 25 05:04

schestowitz-TRbecause I am working, will not mpost publicly with more of the usual/edge casesJul 25 05:27
Techrights-secackJul 25 05:28
schestowitz-TRbtw, freenode now imposes rather arbitrary limits on # of connections from given IP, so some machines of mine cannot connect to it. No idea whose idea this was -- I did not have such issues beforeJul 25 05:32
Techrights-secstrange limit, what's the point?Jul 25 05:34
schestowitz-TRrhetorical questions was the point :-D :-DJul 25 05:34
schestowitz-TRbtw, for the first time in ages ipfs seems to have crashed or something, so I had to restart the process when I woke up. The pi lights up brightly and blinks endlessly if ipfs is not running, but I've not seen such visual alarm in months.Jul 25 05:36
Techrights-secI am not tracking IPFS at all :/Jul 25 05:37
schestowitz-TRwe can write the tail program from within a pane in ytalk?Jul 25 05:38
schestowitz-TRor rather, a pane in tmux alongsie ytalkJul 25 05:39
Techrights-secnot ytalk itself but within tmuxJul 25 05:41
Techrights-secyes, but the vertical lines are maxed out so it could be a horizontal pane or Jul 25 05:41
Techrights-secanother windowJul 25 05:41
Techrights-sechowever, which machine are the logs found on?Jul 25 05:41
Techrights-secIt would be best to run tail | sed thereJul 25 05:41
schestowitz-TRI can use a socket for the outputJul 25 05:43

Techrights-sec183x50 is about the widest I can conveniently have a termnal in that contextJul 25 06:36
Techrights-secso that's more than enough for a second 80 column paneJul 25 06:36
Techrights-secsupposedly SSH can forward sockets but I have not triedJul 25 06:36

Techrights-secthere are already so many panes in atop:0Jul 25 07:07
schestowitz-TRvery high latency with 4 ssh hops, but it's not interactive anywayJul 25 07:08
schestowitz-TROK, try tmux at TR now, it's experimental with security caveats  (my desktop)Jul 25 07:11
Techrights-secI see it, but logging in to any other machine from TR is 'unsanitary' so to speakJul 25 07:16
Techrights-secIdeally the connections from your desktop should only be outgoing and thoseJul 25 07:17
Techrights-secto TR only incoming.Jul 25 07:17
schestowitz-TRThink of this as temporary sandboxJul 25 07:19
schestowitz-TRI was thinking more along the lines of limiting the number of channelsJul 25 07:19
schestowitz-TRThen I can periodically upload for some tools to gobble up and display, a bit like the scrollback but broader and from another sourceJul 25 07:20
schestowitz-TRgemini:// is one trasnsport possibility, but the server  (agate) does not run on my desktopJul 25 07:21
Techrights-secWell, sockets over SSH might be an option?Jul 25 07:24
schestowitz-TRI was thinking about extending this feature outwards as those channels are public anywayJul 25 07:25
*tr-amarsh04_ (~amarsh04@v9v3ma4w4dizc.irc) has joined #boycottnovellJul 25 07:26
schestowitz-TRnow it shows all the channels without their contentsJul 25 07:28
Techrights-secThe aged version of tmux on TR is crippling.  Newer versions allowJul 25 07:30
Techrights-secpiping directly into a pane over stdin.  So your desktop could Jul 25 07:30
Techrights-secSSH to TR and feed the pane and not have these circular logins.Jul 25 07:30
schestowitz-TRthe aim right now is to show you what I see at my end while I work out how to expose this over gemini or otherJul 25 07:31
schestowitz-TRoh! now I know...Jul 25 07:32

schestowitz-TR?Jul 25 07:50
schestowitz-TRif you create an empty pane in tmux on TR using '' as a command:Jul 25 07:50
schestowitz-TRtmux split-window ''Jul 25 07:50
schestowitz-TRthen you can pass stdin to it from outside:Jul 25 07:50

schestowitz-TRThis is now in tmux and also http/sJul 25 07:58
schestowitz-TRThe next min-challange is, how to omit the bits on the right except when they appear one single line at a timeJul 25 07:59
schestowitz-TRso basically, if line starts with a space and the next one also starts with a space, omit both. I think awk can do that...Jul 25 08:00
schestowitz-TRalternatively, we can just let joins and quits be shown, but that's mostly a waste of space I think (as that's most of what we're omitting)Jul 25 08:05

schestowitz-TRtail is already being confused on the server side by the rsync, but on the desktop side I have another process running which does not get confused, so many I can trim the file each time I rsync is e.g. tail -n50 ... rsyncJul 25 08:45
Techrights-sec*maybeJul 25 08:45
schestowitz-TRI think, upon closer scrutiny, a better approach would be to trim down the file a few times a day or at midnightJul 25 08:49
Techrights-secwhat if any part of it needs to be kept, as far as copies go?Jul 25 08:50
Techrights-secIf it's just for display, the SSH formula (or a variant with sudo)Jul 25 08:50
Techrights-secought to be enoughJul 25 08:50
schestowitz-TRtackling the limitation inherent in IRC (like ircloud does, among others), it gives people scrollback for other channels tooJul 25 08:51

schestowitz__[TR]I will start posting links shortly. shift over in 5 mins.Jul 25 08:54
Techrights-secThe empty panes feature of tmux is very useful for tracking logs.Jul 25 08:58

schestowitz-TRwith all those logistical things done the past 2 months, inc. IRC, hopefully soon we can resume 10 articles/day. The biggest technical debt remaining is the sites' software, but that's a perpetual thing.Jul 25 09:17
Techrights-secI still see the site's OS as being high up on the technical debt list.Jul 25 09:22
Techrights-secThere's not a reason to chase versions.  However, a lot has moved on in Jul 25 09:22
Techrights-secthe many years since CentOS was relevant.  Jul 25 09:22
schestowitz-TRthis is further complicated when you consider php versions, mysql/mariadb, and various bits and pieces at the web application level. I keep CMS stuff patched and restrict direct access to some things.Jul 25 09:24
