schestowitz>Aug 13 06:53
schestowitz> it will produce zip files (zip is better than tar.gz considering where the zips are going, i encourage you to trust me on this-- i wish i had used .zip for the wiki archiver-- i will use tar.gz only if you insist, but i urge you not to) of each uploads folder, and i already know what size the uploads will be-- due to code ive run and sent you already.Aug 13 06:53

schestowitz>Aug 13 06:53
schestowitz> what you DONT need to do is create separate ITEMS (metadata) for each zip file.Aug 13 06:53
schestowitz>Aug 13 06:53
schestowitz> you can either do one for each year (10-15 items) or you can even do one item (techrights uploads) for every zip file.Aug 13 06:53
schestowitz>Aug 13 06:53
schestowitz> items can be updated with new files, so you really only need to create one item on the archive-- as you did for the wiki-- which you can add files to anytime you want without affecting existing downloads.Aug 13 06:53

schestowitztoo much quibbling– a backdoor is definitely a risk! (risk, threat, tomayto, tomahto)Aug 13 07:02
schestowitza backdoor is ALSO a risk! its even beneficial (imo) to say that backdoors are risks, because the idiots in office say they can do backdoors that ARENT a risk. so theyre NOT a risk? oh, they actually are? ok, alright by me then… i think non-savvy people are going to be more confused/misled by the quibbling than the word “risk” and the savvy people knew what was meant anyway.Aug 13 07:02

schestowitzThat's the tricky thing. When I update system packages, inc. kernel, I don't reboot. I will is there's a highly critical flaw in it, not some multi-user priv escalation. It used to be kubuntu, but not I just run plain openbox on it. HP from a decade+ ago.Aug 13 07:05

schestowitzCheck the activity and regularity of UpdatesAug 13 07:07

schestowitzcompare this to aircraft-- you can avoid using planes, but people are still going to fly in them. im glad some people care about trying to make them safer (even when companies like boeing make decisions that compromise safety. perhaps we should avoid boeing, to the degree that it is possible or reasonable to.)Aug 13 07:09
schestowitzsometimes a boycott is called for, other times demands for improvement are called for. you can love humanity and still point out its faults. americans can love their country and still demand it holds to the constitution (indeed, every congressperson takes an oath of office to do exactly that! whether they honour that oath or not.) this is considered an american idea (by americans,) but thankfully it exists in other places as well. i loveAug 13 07:09

schestowitzRAM is cheap, we shouldn't need to use swap. Nowadays when we even bother to assign swap space it's just to slow the machine down long enough we can figure out what is using so much RAM before OOMkiller jumps in. This is why the Icinga alerts consider *any* swap usage a bad thing.Aug 13 07:22

schestowitzRegarding Article #21, I wasn't 'having a go' at the setup; I just typically think of swap as a lot cheaper than RAM, having never had a machine with more than 2GB of RAM. I work a lot through swap, too.Aug 13 07:22
