[09:04] Techrights-sec facebook is threatening to withdraw from Europe. The EU has a golden

[09:04] Techrights-sec opportunity to hold them to that promise and be rid of them.

[09:04] Techrights-sec Schrems II allows the EU a face-saving way to kick facebook to the curb. It

[09:04] Techrights-sec provides no value except mass manipulaton of opinion and the EU politicians

[09:04] Techrights-sec are not the ones in control, so from their perspective this is a very good

[09:04] Techrights-sec opportunity.

[09:18] Techrights-sec Towards the end it shows politicians dogmatically bleating M$ talking points.

[11:08] schestowitz-TR draft,,g emini

[11:08] schestowitz-TR i added tls 1.2 info

[11:08] schestowitz-TR when it comes to writing "news" or analyses regarding gemini

[11:08] schestowitz-TR I think we sort of lead the way

[11:08] schestowitz-TR and over time, the long run, mightg reap the rewards for it

[11:08] schestowitz-TR also, it is a rather unique issue

[11:08] schestowitz-TR and one that not many people can, at present, explain clearly enough

[11:09] Techrights-sec ack

[11:09] Techrights-sec there was some good discussion on the now defunct mailing list about tls 1.2

[11:09] Techrights-sec versus 1.3

[11:17] schestowitz-TR i will find that thread and link to it

[11:17] schestowitz-TR the list archives I have over gemini:// are far from complete

[11:17] schestowitz-TR not even 10% of the whole

[11:42] schestowitz-TR just a headsup, not ocomplianing: for thee second time in a week

[11:42] schestowitz-TR a lock file of gemini updater was not cleared

[11:42] schestowitz-TR so I have just deleted it manually

[11:42] schestowitz-TR I'm not sure if that's due to me calling it a second time while it already runs r

[11:42] schestowitz-TR emoately

[11:42] schestowitz-TR but either way my notifications make it clear when it fails or falls flat

[11:42] schestowitz-TR on its face

[11:53] Techrights-sec :(

[11:53] Techrights-sec looking. I've found several orphaned processes and killed them

[11:53] Techrights-sec I've also added an explicit removal of the lockfile at the end of

[11:53] Techrights-sec the script to be activated after a successful run.

[11:54] schestowitz-TR excellent, thank you.

[11:54] schestowitz-TR re rpi400, should be on its way and arrive this week

[11:55] schestowitz-TR i'll boot from usb, remove the accounts that are not needed, shut off things like

[11:55] schestowitz-TR irc bot

[11:55] schestowitz-TR as it would be like same machine running twice

[11:55] schestowitz-TR I'll buy two more usb sticks

[11:55] schestowitz-TR and then make clones on these

[11:55] schestowitz-TR rsync is OK for changes

[11:55] schestowitz-TR but rebuilding the whole system takes a lot of time

[11:55] schestowitz-TR don't want to go through it again until debian 11 is EoL

[11:56] Techrights-sec agreed

[11:56] Techrights-sec I'd try:

[11:56] Techrights-sec 1) burn image to usb stick

[11:56] Techrights-sec 2) boot resize and update it

[11:56] Techrights-sec 3) rsync over the existing stick

[11:56] Techrights-sec 4) file it away offline

[11:58] schestowitz-TR it took about 6 hours to make the last clone, i believe based on observing the pr

[11:59] schestowitz-TR ocess in the fs that it copies it file by file to the partitions that

[11:59] schestowitz-TR it creates

[11:59] schestowitz-TR gemini alone is like 50k directories, plus files...

[11:59] Techrights-sec That's too slow, it should take about 2 or 3 minutes tops.

[11:59] Techrights-sec Try from the RPi itself on one of the USB3 ports.

[19:18] schestowitz-TR *news

[19:18] Techrights-sec ?

[19:18] Techrights-sec strike is overdue there, but the management needs complete turnover and is not

[19:18] Techrights-sec competent even to hire its own replacements, nor honest enough

[19:18] Techrights-sec It is very important that they bring up the lack of EPC compliance.

[22:26] schestowitz-TR "Flaa", who maintains a large French pod of diaspora

[22:26] schestowitz-TR is willing to help with some technical aspects

[22:26] schestowitz-TR but would not host joindiaspora

[22:26] schestowitz-TR I got that by email

[22:26] schestowitz-TR I suppose that leaves us with the question

[22:26] schestowitz-TR should we be the ones running the thing?

[22:26] schestowitz-TR moderation is not too hard with 5000 active users

[22:26] schestowitz-TR and piles of old accounts

[22:26] schestowitz-TR iirc, operating costs are about 800 a year

[22:26] schestowitz-TR and users are willing to help

[22:26] schestowitz-TR then, the sysadmin side of things is a matter of time

[22:26] schestowitz-TR I don't know the complexity of it
