Aug 28 08:23

schestowitz-TR2

the tm git gemini:// pages were not updating

schestowitz-TR2

I made some changes

schestowitz-TR2

but one impasse it

schestowitz-TR2

gemini account cannot run git on /var/www

schestowitz-TR2

without some special dir exception being added

schestowitz-TR2

and maybe it's restricted for a good reason

schestowitz-TR2

if you go to the repo as user/whoami gemini

schestowitz-TR2

then git anything

schestowitz-TR2

you will see what I mean

schestowitz-TR2

it really just needs read-only access

schestowitz-TR2

it then generates a list of files

https://nitter.eu/financialtaxnow/status/156378403996580249

schestowitz-TR2

they are later read and liste

Aug 28 09:44

schestowitz-TR2

then it gets a list of commits

schestowitz-TR2

what would thus be the best approach for

schestowitz-TR2

1) the list of files to be exported to ~gmini/gemini

schestowitz-TR2

and

schestowitz-TR2

2) the git commit history to go to that account too?

schestowitz-TR2

put another way, which account which cron list-git-files? you put it in gemini's crontab

*DaemonFC (~daemonfc@9qsqdkvbw5grk.irc) has joined #boycottnovell

Aug 28 11:14

Techrights-sec

oh that was a mistake, it should not be in gemini's crontab

Aug 28 11:19

Techrights-sec

perhaps git's instead?

Aug 28 11:19

Techrights-sec

checkingg

Aug 28 11:19

schestowitz-TR2

2 other mistakes I corrected were the file for changes being wrong ownership after the changeover

schestowitz-TR2

and the location of git-files being one level too deep

schestowitz-TR2

gemini account needs only read access to a list of changes from git (as file in its own homedir) and same

schestowitz-TR2

for the git-files (/n-separated list)

schestowitz-TR2

atm tuxmachines at gemini is not advertised anywhere except maybe the irc channel

schestowitz-TR2

hence the work on a more holistic front page

Techrights-sec

tuxmachines' account seems to be the right place for that script

Aug 28 11:23

Techrights-sec

thanks

Aug 28 11:23

schestowitz-TR2

if you move that crontab line to tuxmachines, the path for the script stays the same, althogh there should be a copy someone for git

Aug 28 11:24

schestowitz-TR2

it'll get extended over time

Aug 28 11:24

schestowitz-TR2

and output files (2 of them) ought to be readable to gemini account

schestowitz-TR2

I see that the command was run and crontab was shortened for "gemini"

schestowitz-TR2

I tried to see whose crontab the other command was moved to

schestowitz-TR2

git's crontab is empty

schestowitz-TR2

and tuxmachines does the erss thing only

Techrights-sec

It is in tuxmachines

Aug 28 12:32

Techrights-sec

Or I thought it was in tuxmachines. I'll add it there now.

Aug 28 12:33

schestowitz-TR2

thanks, yes, I checked the crontabs of all users

schestowitz-TR2

I also wonder how we should back up this entire machine, inc. stuff outside /home (site, crontabs, scripts)

schestowitz-TR2

but then again this is RAIDed (I assume) and there's that other layer of redundany, I think it is structured like a SAN

schestowitz-TR2

The way I see it, we are rebuilding for the coming decade

schestowitz-TR2

and this VM is already a gemini server, like techrights is already an IPFS server

Techrights-sec

Yes, it is good to plan ahead a bit.

schestowitz-TR2

many others will be coming "from behind"

schestowitz-TR2

having to learn and configure things

schestowitz-TR2

as the web is already stagnant

schestowitz-TR2

plenty of data points to show this, not the subject of debate atm

schestowitz-TR2

we talked about irc in irc today (circular) and I recommended mxlinux and devuan-based peppermind

schestowitz-TR2

afaik, peppertmint is super-friendly, they just swapped out the base system

schestowitz-TR2

it's a bit like linux mint

schestowitz-TR2

aporopos

schestowitz-TR2

a) tim wilson (goblin/openbytes) was a huge proponent of peppermint, which I never tried myself

schestowitz-TR2

b) i think github and gitlab can kill git by associating it with bloated and centralised web uis

schestowitz-TR2

as browsers get less secure, more bloated, and the back end a paint o maintain

schestowitz-TR2

the biggest android alternative is now seeking approval from devs and user to move from gitLAB to

schestowitz-TR2

gitea, iirc

schestowitz-TR2

heroku or whatever has thrown the table this past week

schestowitz-TR2

you may have seen this in ruben's blog and another in your opml

schestowitz-TR2

they are pulling a gitlab.

schestowitz-TR2

no more 'free' accounts

schestowitz-TR2

and they even delete "inactive" ones

schestowitz-TR2

sourcehut.. same

schestowitz-TR2

they are good at gaining 'free' users

schestowitz-TR2

and then realise it's not so free to do sys admin for it

schestowitz-TR2

schestowitz-TR2

and Microsoft losing money on github

schestowitz-TR2

trying to somehow turn that proffitable without driving everyone away

schestowitz-TR2

i heard from an inside source they tried to push vscode and azure via github

schestowitz-TR2

with 'freebies' (at msft's expense ) like cpu cycles (githug actions)

schestowitz-TR2

daniel stenberf that s***out has just bragged about moving more of curl to that proprietary outsource build process

schestowitz-TR2

github actions

schestowitz-TR2

and they hope to upsell

schestowitz-TR2

it didn't work outa

schestowitz-TR2

and they fired some people

schestowitz-TR2

and now they put some azure guy in charge

schestowitz-TR2

I failed (spent hours) to find any pie charts are gitlab and giuthub share

schestowitz-TR2

nothing can be found

schestowitz-TR2

but I reckon they not only lose money (gitlab does for sure!) but also relative share

schestowitz-TR2

like skype, linkedin, and mixer (shut down compltely)

Techrights-sec

Peppermint OS should be looked into more seriously and probably boosted,

Techrights-sec

it has a branch with a Devuan base.

Techrights-sec

Yes, GitHub especially gets conflated with Git and everyone now knows that

Techrights-sec

M$ GitHub sucks (like all M$ products and services) and has gotten a lot

Techrights-sec

worse recently (like all M$ products and services). Unfortunately fewer and

Techrights-sec

fewer know or make the distinction between GitHub and Git and M$ conrrolled

at least anyone that pays attention will notice either or both events

Techrights-sec

gaming has been one of the ways that M$ marginalized Apple in addition to

blocking desktop GNU/Linux. If it weren't for an addiction to top titles,

Techrights-sec

which are M$-only, many would have drifted away starting 20 years ago

Techrights-sec

Many companies have no purpose (and no result) other than an IPO spike like

Techrights-sec

Bakkt demonstrated. It's a handout for those that got in prior to the IPO and

Techrights-sec

were in a position where they were able to sell in hours. Those chumps in

Techrights-sec

the company that had stocks which they were forced to retain got taken to

Techrights-sec

the cleaners.

schestowitz-TR2

if you can research bakkt further (I did my bit, but there's lots more down that bucket), maybe there is more we can show

schestowitz-TR2

based on his date stories, she's the one controlling him

schestowitz-TR2

he had no control over her

Techrights-sec

No idea about such companies

Techrights-sec

It's not special in any way, not even in its catastrophic failure. That

Techrights-sec

is part of a common, established pattern.

schestowitz-TR2

maybe she will soon resurface elsewhere

I am doing so right now

schestowitz-TR2

bakkt will be a "side story"

schestowitz-TR2

throwing my notes as I go along

schestowitz-TR2

see draft

Maybe some background about

Techrights-sec

the original purpose of OSDL / LF is in order. Also, what is its current

Techrights-sec

charter. Don't let anyone assume anything based on the name.

schestowitz-TR2

that would demand a lot more time for in-depath article

schestowitz-TR2

today I want to work on cleaning rss and finish frontpage.php/mobile/php

schestowitz-TR2

but I' thinking, put the info out there first, raw...

schestowitz-TR2

then, over time, refer back to it with commentary

schestowitz-TR2

but irs is acting as though it was instructed to not publish

schestowitz-TR2

I don't know much about irs

schestowitz-TR2

I am just totally guessing

schestowitz-TR2

I will prioritise this over the tuxmachines work I was planning

schestowitz-TR2

working againn tonight at 1am

but I think this LF thing is 1) interesting 2) something nobody ese will cover

revenue loss harms the idea that people should confide in this current strategy

schestowitz-TR2

they replace events with diploma mills these past 2 years

schestowitz-TR2

and bribe publishers to promote the scams

Aug 28 15:21

schestowitz-TR2

now they promote thse with World Bank (WB)

Aug 28 15:21

schestowitz-TR2

thanks, tidying up irc notes and links as if they were a draft makes writing vastly easier

schestowitz-TR2

but I think I'll start with LF

schestowitz-TR2

to set the tone and make it on-topic

schestowitz-TR2

there's stuff in the form I want to cover separately

schestowitz-TR2

as there won't be any more forms for many months to come

schestowitz-TR2

this also validated what I said about them turning to diploma mills

some time next week we might be ready to publish the epo series that will cause EPO to shit bricks again

schestowitz-TR2

at least this past month we showed the gnu/linux market gain a lot

schestowitz-TR2

while EPO was 'calm' (holiday)

schestowitz-TR2

no epo announcement in the site for a month already

schestowitz-TR2

upc complaint might be a month or two away

Techrights-sec

There needs to be a complete turn over of top management there along with

Techrights-sec

many a bit further down.

Aug 28 15:37

schestowitz-TR2

FOSSForce refers to him as a crank

Aug 28 15:37

schestowitz-TR2

this past week all his output was more or less worthless, irrelevant (rss feed)

Aug 28 15:37

Techrights-sec

he has been heading that direction for a few years, but he occasionally

Techrights-sec

writes / says things which are spot on. However, those times are getting

Techrights-sec

fewer and further between, so it is no surprise that people are able to

Techrights-sec

discredit him that way.

schestowitz-TR2

1) badmouth your critic

schestowitz-TR2

2) critics gets angry, talks trash back

schestowitz-TR2

3) use (2) to defame critics

schestowitz-TR2

4) critic ignored

schestowitz-TR2

at least they didn't call him rapist/rape apologist

schestowitz-TR2

i've done activism long enough to know methods of copiung with trolling and stress/anger

schestowitz-TR2

rms also got better at it after that freakout in brazil

schestowitz-TR2

i remember g greve (original fsfe) getting very upset about people sharing videos of that online

schestowitz-TR2

greve did support rms

schestowitz-TR2

i've not heard anything of kolab for years

schestowitz-TR2

greve was paraded by fsfe months ago

schestowitz-TR2

and aaron seigo vanished completly after moving to switzerland for kolab

schestowitz-TR2

and groklaw's pj also vanished after saying she would use kolab

Techrights-sec

Techrights-sec

pj vanished after some possible trouble against the site after one of the

mail companies or ISPs unrelated to groklaw got blasted by the US government

Techrights-sec

that was in her departure statement

then clean rss

schestowitz-TR2

then tm php is I have time left

schestowitz-TR2

yes, php is on the old system

schestowitz-TR2

it acts as a bridge, a one-way bridge using rss as a shim

It'd be great to avoid bringing PHP over into the new system. Some

I can caution you I might write about lf in a bit of a rush to to desire to meet self-0imposed deadline re site migration

schestowitz-TR2

I'll just check for typos carefully enough to close that leeway

schestowitz-TR2

will revisit in the future after that

schestowitz-TR2

typo checking isn't hard if I do exercise while reading

schestowitz-TR2

writing it carefully and making a proper outline is very time-consuming

schestowitz-TR2

and TR is not a thesis

I'm not the best writer, but I can compensate for it by writing fast and producing a lot, I think
