07:39 schestowitz-TR2; were any changs made aftere 10pm last night? I added two nodes and refreshed manually too. the rss feed remains unchanged, I don't see any error. Not sure where/
07:39 schestowitz-TR2; what to check.
07:43 schestowitz-TR2; OK, it's not limited to RSS
07:43 schestowitz-TR2; the front page, both gemini and HTTPS, are not refreshing to show the new items except in the top navigation bars
08:30 schestowitz-TR2; it is now 4 nodes, I think
08:30 schestowitz-TR2; the front page does not show them
08:30 schestowitz-TR2; gemini shows nothing
08:30 schestowitz-TR2; feeds in gemini and https are same as last night
08:30 schestowitz-TR2; the navigation links do in fact show them
08:30 Techrights-sec; not after the ones above
08:30 Techrights-sec; which two nodes, specifically? I can check
08:30 Techrights-sec; the last 4
08:30 Techrights-sec; ?
08:30 Techrights-sec; checking
08:30 Techrights-sec; ok it's good that at least the navigation links show them; I can see them in
08:30 Techrights-sec; the db, too.
08:31 Techrights-sec; looking at the feed generator now
08:31 Techrights-sec; ok the feed generator is turning up an empty set
08:31 Techrights-sec; checking
08:32 schestowitz-TR2; maybe the long char fix? I don't think we added anything new after that change
08:32 Techrights-sec; yes I was just seeing that, it was not supposed to capture the filehandle too
08:32 Techrights-sec; yep, winding that down a little
08:34 schestowitz-TR2; no worries, being static page generator, it fails 'gracefully'
08:34 schestowitz-TR2; meanwhile I've made tarballs of ALL the accounts plus /var/www and am now copyiong those tarballc across to my PC
08:34 schestowitz-TR2; sometimes just having a second frozen copy of things comes to the rescure if you accidentally bungle some file
08:35 Techrights-sec; yes, failing gracefully is a good design feature
08:35 Techrights-sec; please try refreshing the feeds or the other stuff
08:37 schestowitz-TR2; gemini listings back
08:37 schestowitz-TR2; gemini atom ok
08:37 schestowitz-TR2; front page (https) ok
08:37 schestowitz-TR2; boom. 4 new items in tuxurl-new.sh
08:37 schestowitz-TR2; > Ok that was easy. Try now.
08:37 schestowitz-TR2; > hopefully it was not "too" easy
08:37 schestowitz-TR2; :>
08:38 Techrights-sec; excellent, thanks for spotting that
08:38 Techrights-sec; the data was there, and getting retrieved, it just was not getting through
08:38 Techrights-sec; to the destination files
08:38 Techrights-sec; :>
08:40 schestowitz-TR2; btw, news is not slow today
08:40 schestowitz-TR2; it's DEAD today
08:40 schestowitz-TR2; it's like "WTF? Is this thing refreshing?"
08:40 schestowitz-TR2; finished: copied tarballs of ALL the accounts and /var/www
08:40 schestowitz-TR2; to ssd
08:40 schestowitz-TR2; also did the wordpress backup and drupal backup (TM) last night
08:40 schestowitz-TR2; and htaccess (for old)
08:41 Techrights-sec; :/
08:41 Techrights-sec; There's a lot going on, it's just that the media has decided collectively not
08:41 Techrights-sec; to cover any of it, especially the items (which I guess would be all of them)
08:41 Techrights-sec; which touch on politics and national policy.
08:41 Techrights-sec; just /var/www/tuxmachines.org is relevant to TM
08:45 schestowitz-TR2; thanks, yes, I cast the net a little wider just in case
08:45 schestowitz-TR2; I really should make a file with all the steps for future backups
08:45 schestowitz-TR2; done
08:45 schestowitz-TR2; next step would be a shell script, I want to run the steps manually one more time
08:45 Techrights-sec; A shell script would be appropriate for that.
08:45 schestowitz-TR2; or something recrusive can exhaust disk space
08:46 schestowitz-TR2; like backing up roy to roy
08:46 schestowitz-TR2; from what I saw, it would omit the archive itself
08:46 schestowitz-TR2; but I want to be 100% sure again
08:52 schestowitz-TR2; just to note:
08:52 schestowitz-TR2; with geek4geeks I used to filter on "interview"
08:52 schestowitz-TR2; far too much shit and webspam there
08:52 schestowitz-TR2; then I decided that site deserves no traffic at all, it's rogue like spamnil
08:52 schestowitz-TR2; regarding michael west, most of the stuff there is not (A)AP reposts
08:52 schestowitz-TR2; so I filter and delete all on "AAP"
08:52 schestowitz-TR2; soon the site as a whole will be no better than just getting MSM directly
08:52 schestowitz-TR2; with all the usuala BS about how the economy is recovering
08:52 schestowitz-TR2; the Germany incel in the IRC channel is now ranting about soaring food prices
08:52 schestowitz-TR2; and I cannot blame him

09:07 schestowitz-TR2; I think he might be missing a point; he wrote another post (about tech media) in tandem)
09:07 schestowitz-TR2; media was not always THIS bad
09:07 schestowitz-TR2; I remember as a younger person some truly good journalism
09:07 schestowitz-TR2; and speaking truth to power
09:07 schestowitz-TR2; not always, but a lot more ofpten
09:07 schestowitz-TR2; when it comes to EPO, back in 2015 the media played along with us a lot more
09:07 schestowitz-TR2; now it talks down on us
09:07 schestowitz-TR2; like we're interfering with "the system"
09:08 Techrights-sec; ack
09:08 Techrights-sec; Yes, there was quite a bit. Including some major investigative work,
09:08 Techrights-sec; perhaps most famously "The Pentagon Papers" as well as "Watergate"
09:13 schestowitz-TR2; even the media collabs with snowden and wikileaks -- not to long ago
09:13 schestowitz-TR2; pro publica not bags bribes from billg
09:13 schestowitz-TR2; so do billbc and 'guardian'
09:13 schestowitz-TR2; WashPo (pentagon paper) is owned by bezos
09:13 schestowitz-TR2; and nytimes lost risen
09:13 schestowitz-TR2; but he ran to another trap, the one of omidyar
09:13 schestowitz-TR2; where is he now? gone.
09:13 schestowitz-TR2; I had another examle in mind but forgot...
09:13 schestowitz-TR2; there are plenty anyway
09:13 schestowitz-TR2; risen and others (charlie something) covered secret US programs
09:13 schestowitz-TR2; like CIA stuff
09:13 schestowitz-TR2; APA, Stuxnet, Sterling...
09:13 schestowitz-TR2; now it's something [pro-trump] and [anti-trump] and "tweet wars" over the tribalism
09:13 schestowitz-TR2; or sho dances at a private party
09:13 schestowitz-TR2; I still kick myself for forgetting the other example I had in mind
09:13 schestowitz-TR2; like, when they spend a lot time unearthing stuff that's really bad
09:13 schestowitz-TR2; and big
09:13 schestowitz-TR2; and had impact for a very long time
09:13 schestowitz-TR2; if snowden came out to journalists today, e.g. gaurdian
09:13 schestowitz-TR2; they would spurn him, saying he's just trying to 'bash' biden
09:13 schestowitz-TR2; like they paint a twitter wber as some musk enabler
09:13 schestowitz-TR2; kiriakou warned about what the trump raid means to people who are not trump
09:13 schestowitz-TR2; nobody paid attention except scheer
09:13 schestowitz-TR2; and since rt is effectively dead, nobody will give him a voice at all
09:20 Techrights-sec; not too long ago and certainly not for very long either
09:20 Techrights-sec; topci ideas for later: Bill Binney, John Kiriakou, Thomas Drake, Daniel Ellsberg
09:20 Techrights-sec; Each brought up important issues, and the attacks on each case are relevant
09:20 Techrights-sec; to the attacks on ES and JA
09:20 Techrights-sec; Yes. There are also newer ones like Reality Winner, Kirk Weibe, and others.
09:20 Techrights-sec; Lifting up their cases occasionally can be covered from different angles each
09:21 Techrights-sec; times since there are so many facets to each one.
09:21 schestowitz-TR2; binney was no longer media darling the moment he said something to tge effect (or sounding like) of supporting trump
09:21 schestowitz-TR2; and he more or less vanished
09:21 schestowitz-TR2; if he died, we would not know
09:21 schestowitz-TR2; kirk beibe followed me in tiwtter
09:21 schestowitz-TR2; *weibe
09:21 schestowitz-TR2; nobody ever mentions him; he never existed!

10:23 schestowitz;
10:23 schestowitz; The phone used in this project and most others like it have numeric keypads set up in the same way as keyboards, with a matrix reducing the number of I/O pins needed on a connected microcontroller. Multiply the number or rows in the matrix by the number of columns to get the maximum number of keys. This particular keypad had a combined row/column total of 11, which means it could support up to 30 unique
10:23 schestowitz; keys. But only 12 of those are connected, so the tutorial includes instructions on how to identify the key that each row/column combo triggers. Once you know that information, you can connect the row and column wires to the I/O pins of an Arduino.

10:25 schestowitz;
10:25 schestowitz; There has long been a desire to get rid of Cygwin as a build dependency on LibreOffice. In addition to building dependencies it is also used to create the Windows MSI installer. Due to reasons I don't remember any more I chose to look into replacing just that bit with some modern tooling. This is the tragedy that followed.
10:25 schestowitz; The first step to replacing something old is to determine what and how the old system works. Given that it is an installer one would expect it to use WiX, NSIS or maybe even some less know installer tool. But of course you already guessed that's not going to be the case. After sufficient amounts of digging you can discover that the installer is invoked by this (1600+ line) Perl script. It imports 50+
10:25 schestowitz; other internal Perl modules. This is not going to be a fun day.

10:26 schestowitz;
10:26 schestowitz; Economics teaches us that one persons income is another persons expenditure. But we dont think like that when we think of waste. Instead, our usual intuition for waste is it's something expended that we didnt have to, or something left behind after we did what we needed to.
10:26 schestowitz; In todays distributed systems and cloud-first environment, however, that perfectly fine concept is a little trickier. Many apparently obvious examples of it become a bit less obvious when you look at them more closely. Its also hard to decide what to do about that waste, even when youve decided what it is.
10:26 schestowitz; But fundamentally, there is one kind of waste which is ongoing, pernicious, and which nearly every organisation underestimates, and should be the real target of our efforts. Of which, more later.

Joan Smith documented how the great majority of the men who committed terrorist killings in Europe since 9/11, whether far-right or Islamist, display strongly misogynistic attitudes. Most also have a history of physically abusing women often in their own families before committing acts of violence against strangers. The Womanstats database, created by Val
11:06 schestowitz; Hudson and colleagues, has uncovered many statistically significant relationships between the physical security of women and the security of states: authoritarian patriarchal attitudes undermine good government in multiple ways.

12:35 Techrights-sec; yes, and that allows the issue to fly under the radar entirely
12:35 Techrights-sec; They are probably using M$ instead of e-nmail and either the incoming message
12:35 Techrights-sec; or the reply got lost.
12:36 schestowitz-TR2; when they ahve shared or overlapping interest with mark cuban
12:36 schestowitz-TR2; AND CUBAN PAYS THEM
12:36 schestowitz-TR2; then they cover some subkject
12:36 schestowitz-TR2; to me it looks like rich people's PAC
12:36 schestowitz-TR2; ie.. same as LF
12:37 Techrights-sec; basically
12:38 schestowitz-TR2; I'll try to tie iin the link issue to death of journalisl
12:38 schestowitz-TR2; the impact of the web
12:38 schestowitz-TR2; etc.
12:38 Techrights-sec; ack
12:38 schestowitz-TR2; OTA
13:32 schestowitz-TR2; Using the interest on savings alone, Linux Foundation could keep Linux.com going with journalists. One can conclude the goal was to crush and ruin the site.

15:02 schestowitz-TR2; been posting several things since
15:02 schestowitz-TR2; now cleaning what remains in rss (not much :/ )
15:02 schestowitz-TR2; even some youtube channels that I follow are winding down
15:02 schestowitz-TR2; the ones about "Linux"
15:02 schestowitz-TR2; DT did a video about a video
15:09 Techrights-sec; more details / reminders are needed about JZ's lack of qualifications, maybe
15:09 Techrights-sec; that can be fit in another post. Also, it ought to be pounded on again and
15:09 Techrights-sec; again, just the salary increase alone would have covered a /team/ of journalists
15:09 Techrights-sec; So he is just bleeding the project to death.
15:09 schestowitz-TR2; did you see my latest post with many links and two memes?
15:09 schestowitz-TR2; it more or less covers the thin surfave of it
15:09 schestowitz-TR2; with more in irc

15:50 schestowitz-TR2; stem update and reboot
15:50 schestowitz-TR2; not planned
15:50 schestowitz-TR2; but since I broke X with my own stupidity
15:50 schestowitz-TR2; I thought, hey, might as well do routine patching and reboot
15:50 schestowitz-TR2; I also try to 'refactor' all the things, inc tasks, as the workflows change over time
15:50 schestowitz-TR2; and old habits are are to abandon unless there' sa clean slate

16:00 schestowitz-TR2; I was thinking, as I shuffle around
16:01 schestowitz-TR2; if inotify does not work as expected, as if we don't want to permit upload by every user
16:01 schestowitz-TR2; how about this in the workflow
16:01 schestowitz-TR2; after choosing slug
16:01 schestowitz-TR2; it'll ask for a URL of an image
16:01 schestowitz-TR2; then wget that
16:01 schestowitz-TR2; and then process it, output the code to paste for it
16:01 schestowitz-TR2; assuming it was deposited OK in the appropriate directory
16:01 schestowitz-TR2; this way, no "upload" directory and inotify
16:01 schestowitz-TR2; just interactive

17:29 schestowitz-TR2; alternatively, maybe inotify will pick something up from a wget command or callback from em-extract/add-and-update
17:29 schestowitz-TR2; arindam is confined to the latter, so it cannot be done with wget directly

20:28 schestowitz-TR2; I thought maybe somethijng had gone wrong with ytalk, phew...
20:29 Techrights-sec; inotify seems not to work as it should, I thought it worked in the beginning
20:29 Techrights-sec; but it is not reliable or seems not to work at all now. So perhaps the approch
20:29 Techrights-sec; you suggest, of asking for a URL during the addition and then fetching and
20:29 Techrights-sec; processing the image, might be more appropriate.
20:29 Techrights-sec; Ok
20:30 schestowitz-TR2; this would help marius post in the old style
20:30 schestowitz-TR2; in fact, it can propose the template with the image in place
20:30 schestowitz-TR2; and then assure consistency among authors
20:30 schestowitz-TR2; i think there was something else I wanted to tell you, I shuffles lots of machines and tasks around today, very much for the better
20:30 schestowitz-TR2; and I wanted to say something about EFF losing key people
20:40 schestowitz-TR2; "In 1970, Ronald Reagan was running for reelection as governor of California.
