[00:24] schestowitz-TR "With the release of version 4 of Mastodon [1] there has been a problem of links to profile pages or conversation threads "going dark" within shell based browsers, such as Lynx [2]. In version 3.x you would get a text rendering of each page, but now you only get a terse "To use the Mastodon web application, please enable JavaScript" message." gemini://libreserver.org/blog/emerging-from-darkness.gmi

[03:35] techrightssec2 Thinking about it, it would not be good to keep refering to ${formerEmployer} as

[03:35] techrightssec2 "open-source" or "open source" at all but instead as a formerly open source

[03:35] techrightssec2 company.

[03:35] techrightssec2 Otherwise the rants risk painting actual Open Source or mayb even Free and Open

[03:35] techrightssec2 Source software in a bad light by creating confusion or a bad association.

[03:36] schestowitz-TR the problem is, there are many companies called "Sirius"

[03:36] schestowitz-TR including XM

● Jan 03

[04:29] techrightssec2 Right, however the main point is to avoid tying the phrase to a company that

[04:29] techrightssec2 is quite bad and heading down the drain even though it was once rather good

[04:29] techrightssec2 to work at, pre-NDA

[04:30] schestowitz-TR curiously enough one file did not get copied to ipfs last night

[04:30] schestowitz-TR I detected this because I monittor closely with sanity checks

[04:30] schestowitz-TR the logs suggest it was passed

[04:30] schestowitz-TR but I could not see it there

[04:30] schestowitz-TR sent it manually

[04:30] schestowitz-TR rerunning now

[04:30] schestowitz-TR it's the latest bulletin file

[04:30] schestowitz-TR it did copy it correctly to the local ipfs node (pi)

[04:30] schestowitz-TR strange that verbose rsync would show it as passing ok

[04:30] schestowitz-TR comes to show you cannot blindly rely on that

[04:30] schestowitz-TR side upside: I realised irc scrollback in gemini was not running

[04:30] schestowitz-TR it lost the link yesterday

[04:30] schestowitz-TR oh, wait, logging worked OK, I think

[04:30] schestowitz-TR it shows it passing ok to the pi

[04:30] schestowitz-TR nothing shown for the server

[04:30] schestowitz-TR so everything does get caught at the end

[04:30] schestowitz-TR I'm happier now :-)

[04:30] schestowitz-TR what do you suggest I refer to the company as? There are also some unknowns, as there

[04:30] schestowitz-TR might be more romance there

[07:53] schestowitz-TR starting the year on strong note, will cover gnu/linux shgare and IAM FUD. OTA! (AIM)

● Jan 03

[08:19] techrightssec2 I'm not sure of what to refer to the company as

[08:20] schestowitz-TR recording 2 videos

[08:20] schestowitz-TR one will use the web stats for a "positive note" wrt AIM FUD

[08:20] schestowitz-TR OTA

[08:20] techrightssec2 ack

[08:20] techrightssec2 excellent\

[08:37] schestowitz-TR my failed run at ipfs seems to have thrown your scripts off course

[08:37] schestowitz-TR the irc post for today is a repat of yesterday's

[08:37] schestowitz-TR can you re-run the script?

[08:37] schestowitz-TR the post slug ought to stay the same:

[08:37] schestowitz-TR irc-log-010132-2

[08:37] schestowitz-TR to avoid breaking any links

[08:37] schestowitz-TR but the title and body need to be changed and it's hard from my end

[08:37] schestowitz-TR the hash for the daily bulletin is now there

[08:37] schestowitz-TR my manual fix corrected it

[08:40] techrightssec2 It'll have to be a manual update. Checking ...

● Jan 03

[09:12] schestowitz-TR thanks, this whole thing emanated from the bulletin not being passed to the ipfs server

[09:12] schestowitz-TR for reasons not known to me, maybe a network glitch

[09:12] schestowitz-TR sorry, I was recording

[09:12] techrightssec2 ok it has been re-run, perhaps a link from the old to the new is needed?

[09:13] schestowitz-TR while recording I saw the corrections :-) this distracted me a bit :-)

[09:13] schestowitz-TR checking...

[09:19] schestowitz-TR the correction style is excellent as no links get broken

[09:19] schestowitz-TR checking the link...

[09:35] techrightssec2 The input text is left as-is for the most part. Some editing can be done inside

[09:35] techrightssec2 the nano editor's session.

[09:48] schestowitz-TR dr farnell's message is interesting

[09:48] schestowitz-TR seems like an epidemic is unhappy tech workers

[09:48] schestowitz-TR just like nurses

[09:48] schestowitz-TR rianne was just mentioning nerses and gps

[09:48] schestowitz-TR i told her not only a gp finds himself overworked and underpaid these days

[09:48] schestowitz-TR so it's good to know it's a widespread phenomenon

[09:48] schestowitz-TR btw, epo wiki about to reach 3 ml views

[09:48] schestowitz-TR drafting the article about AIM atm

● Jan 03

[10:17] schestowitz-TR draft

[10:17] schestowitz-TR btw, not many people turn on xmas light this year

[10:17] schestowitz-TR or hours very limited

[10:17] schestowitz-TR same for fireworkd

[10:17] schestowitz-TR so a lot of the mood is "lost"

[10:22] techrightssec2 more details on market share stats might be useful, especially that GNU.Linux

[10:22] techrightssec2 is growing in market share in India

[10:22] techrightssec2 Fireworks reduction is good all around, they are a safety and environmental

[10:22] techrightssec2 hazard, not to mention a problem for dogs. Most lights, though consume very\

[10:22] techrightssec2 little so while the energy adds up at scale it'd be even better for people

[10:22] techrightssec2 to unplug or (or turn off via a switch) their chargers or other wall warts.

[10:22] techrightssec2 Those are not a small drain on the grid when taken as a total population,

[10:22] techrightssec2 Back too the draft, in addition to showing the rate of increase and not just\

[10:22] techrightssec2 the current market share, it would help to provide a line or two summarizing

[10:22] techrightssec2 the IRC conversation so that readers know what the link goes to .,

[10:22] schestowitz-TR working on it, cheers

[16:07] techrightssec2 Those seem good

[16:07] -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-Launch Configurable Keyboard - System76

[16:11] techrightssec2 Good keyboards reduce stress while increasing accuracy.

[16:13] schestowitz-TR just to drop some details:

[16:13] schestowitz-TR my keyboard cost about 20 pounds (IIRC)

[16:13] schestowitz-TR it has rainbox-like backlit, not so brightly lid

[16:13] schestowitz-TR it's not programmable, it's just fixed shades

[16:13] schestowitz-TR in gnu/linux i turn that on with a command

[16:13] schestowitz-TR in windows I think there's some special key for it

[16:13] schestowitz-TR it is mechanical and cheaply made

[16:13] schestowitz-TR but still works

[16:13] schestowitz-TR no brand on it

[16:13] schestowitz-TR bought in chinese store in the market

[16:13] schestowitz-TR 'gaming' keyboard

[16:27] schestowitz-TR Lots of recipes posted in Gemini so far this year, e.g. gemini://nnix.com/food/desserts_snacks/chocolate_shortbread.gmi not newsworthy but fantastic to see Gemini growing beyond its TECHNICAL roots. There's something there for everyone, also many languages.
