Projects: unixadminbot, Log::Slogger, File::Valet

Posted 08-22-2019 at 11:53 PM by ttk (Unpopular Positions: One Geek's Take)

So .. in this post (post #323 in case that link is flawed) I referenced my unixadminbot project for illustration, and someone else in the thread expressed interest in using it.

The problem is that the original unixadminbot is the intellectual property of The Internet Archive, and is embarrassingly horrible code anyway. I've been meaning to do a "cleanroom re-implementation" of it anyway, so I could clean up the code, generalize it a bit, and open source it for the world...

Projects: Slackhammer, ZACL, testing Perl on Slackware-current

Posted 07-26-2018 at 08:01 PM by ttk (Unpopular Positions: One Geek's Take)

I try to stay focused on a small number of projects at a time, so that they get finished sooner, but I seem doomed to spread myself thin.

Slackhammer

Sometimes it's because someone gives me a nudge and gets me all excited. Earlier this week, Idlemoor pointed me at https://release-monitoring.org which tracks packages' upstream sources, which is one of the core functions of my Slackhammer project http://ciar.org/ttk/codecloset/slackhammer/

##slackware-help community support update

Posted 04-07-2018 at 06:09 PM by ttk (Unpopular Positions: One Geek's Take)

There is a ravenbot in ##slackware-help now providing one-line summaries of Slackware64-current ChangeLog entries as they appear:

Code:
2018-04-07 15:01:49 * ravenbot ChangeLog updated: 10 packages: btrfs-progs-v4.16, sysstat, kdev-python, exiv2, glib, glib2, pango, slang, dhcpcd and 1 more
It also notes kernel versions when there's a kernel upgrade, counts CVEs when an update patches security vulnerabilities, and gets appropriately excited when it detects a new Slackware...

systemd haters resource page

Posted 09-20-2017 at 11:05 PM by ttk (Unpopular Positions: One Geek's Take)

I've been putting links to relevant systemd resources into this page for my own reference, but enough folks have appreciated it that I thought y'all might like it too:

http://ciar.org/ttk/public/systemd.html

It's very ugly and primitive at the moment. I might turn it into a "real" web page later, or might not.
