It is your opinion, I do not want to argue. For me it is as outdated as the

Ask your ISP. Many ISPs provide a small amount of web hosting to
customers. You'll usually be given an FTP account where you can upload
the source files of the web page, and the URL for the web page might end
up being something like www.YOUR-CUSTOMER-ID.YOUR-ISP.com, but it's a
great way to get started.

Thank you Andy.  While they aren't using a great deal of my upload 
bandwidth, there sure are a lot of them. 

The recent thread involving the mac G5's intrigues me though, so its war 
story time:

We bought a pair of them in a quite graphically capable editing kit for 
commercial production, paid $25G's for the pair with the editing suite 
software. Lasted less than 6 months, apples cheap bushing fans failed 
and the air flow is so tightly controlled by blow molded inserts in 
those that one fan failure starts a fatal fire needing a fire 
extinguisher. And no warranty from apple in that event. An expen$ive 
lesson for a middle market (#165 at the time) tv station. Based on our 
experience, I didn't think there were any G5s surviving in TYOOL 2021. 

Our linux guy then built a total of 8, centos based machines with quality 
parts, equiping 4 editing bays with them as the station is now sourceing 
8 channels of television with two digital transmitters today. All served 
from 3 more centos servers he built, each capable of recording 4 
satellite channels at a time, while playing back 4 other channels from a 
huge raid array you can replace a failed drive in and it will be rebuilt 
while live on the air.

The owner died, his daughter sold it for 26 to grey about 3 years ago. 
The new broom declared they were a windows house, get rid of the linux. 
Funny thing though, the linux servers were never accused of a bsod. We 
let the make goods line of the P&L statement talk. You can't argue with 
success, so Linux is still there, working 24/7/365.25. The linux guy? 
Now works from home for the fbi at 3x what grey would pay.  Their loss 
IMO.  Now you know why windows is an endangered species at this old 
retired tv engineers home 20.

Take care and stay well everybody.

Not just 'can't', but usually 'shouldn't'. A modern web server is one of
the most complex pieces of code in current use. New vulnerabilities in
all of them are found almost daily, and not by the good guys. You need a
fair knowledge of web server security to risk hosting it on your own
server. Even companies like Microsoft have had websites hacked. Static
pages are generally pretty safe, but I wouldn't even host them myself.
> 
> Any feedback is appriciated.

Much depends on what you want the site to achieve. If you have a few
static pages, any web host will do. If you need (or foresee a need for)
an SQL database, then you need to look at what the various web hosts
will offer for what price. You can go all the way up to a (virtual)
hosted server, though your post suggests you need something small and
simple.

Do you need email addresses linked to the website? Pretty much all web
hosting packages offer a few addresses and a certain amount of space.

Do you need server-side scripting, such as PHP? Most hosting packages
offer that.

Do you need some kind of web authoring package? Some hosts throw a
simple one in free, some charge extra. Do you need Wordpress? An
e-commerce site? There are lots of bells and whistles that are
available, but a basic display website with hand-written HTML doesn't
really need any of them.

Probably any of the large web hosts will do what you need for the best
price. Note that the headline prices displayed are likely to be for six
months or a year, with a higher price after that. A couple of big names
are GoDaddy and TSOhost and there are many websites offering '10
best...' reviews, though they get out of date quickly.

freeshell.de is free with registration. They run debian.
You get a full shell environment, which probably means more
flexibility than gitlab. You can use PHP, python or perl
with a mysql database if you like. And the admin answers
emails.

Any feedback is appriciated.

If its a static website and you are skilled enough to consider something 
like gitlab, have a look at netlify ( https://www.netlify.com/ ).  
Netlify can publish your page from your git-repository and run the build 
of the site in their pipeline and finally publish it statically.


There are of course others as netlify, but thats the one i have most 
experience with.


Good luck!

Last night, I checked accessing that URL, its parent directory, and the
parent of that (which is the root of the domain), and I got errors from
all of them. I didn't make specific note of what errors they were, but
they may have been 404s.

I checked again just now, and I still get errors from that URL and its
parent directory, but they're not 404; they're 403 Forbidden.

Accessing the domain root, on the other hand, gets me a working page.
That page includes a variety of links, including at least one reading in
part "Perl Journal"; attempting to follow that link gets me 403
Forbidden again, but attempting to follow one of the other links at
random got me a working page.

Looks like there's some ongoing quirks with that site, at least to do
with permissions, which may or may not get sorted out on the far end
without further intervention.

Surely there must be some site generator with RSS support

I don't know, if so one would like to know what tool they use
to do that?


IkiWiki can consume HTML. Although a default configuration of IkiWiki
would expect the input items to be HTML snippets - so, not full
documents containing HTML,HEAD,BODY tags, but subsets of the BODY

Going directly to https://interglacial.com/tpj/26/ gives 403.

Going directly to https://interglacial.com/ works.

>From there, clicking https://interglacial.com/tpj/ gives 403.

So, it's *probably* not a referer check.  It could be a permissions
screw-up on the actual directory.  It could also be something else --
only the web server admin can know for sure.

Try this search to find installed packages from non-Debian sources:

aptitude search '?narrow(?installed,!?origin(Debian))'


(it will also match packages that aren't available from the repositories 
anymore, a.k.a. obsolete, if you have any)

No idea. AIUI the sysadmin has complete control over that file.
I would:

  $ ls -l /etc/apt/sources.list*
  -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1023 Apr  3  2020 /etc/apt/sources.list
  -rw-r--r-- 1 root root0 Apr  3  2020 /etc/apt/sources.list~

  /etc/apt/sources.list.d:
  total 0
  $ 

to see when it was last modified¹. Then I would:

  $ less /var/log/apt/history.log*

and see if the packages being installed around that time give you any
clue as to why it might have been changed (by the sysadmin). The clues
might be indirect, like, say, installing a package that lacked enough
functionality to do a particular task, which caused you to take some
action of other.

;-P

Actually I have the feeling the price *is* part of the
feature, along the lines "I can afford that. Can you?".
Call it perhaps a Stockholm Feature [1] or something.

Of course, a vendor can Stockholm you on dimensions
other than price...

nvidia-340xx package fails to compile

[Hans]

Hi folks, 

those who like just hassle hours and hours with nvidia-340xx-kernel builds, 
please note, that the version 340.108-3 does NOT build on kernel-version 
5.10.0-6-amd64. No chance!

Also the official NVidia-*.run does NOT build!

However, I downloaded manually all (still not official in the testing repo 
database) nvidia-packages from the repo with the version 

340.108-10-*bpo*

and Volila, they build like a charme and working without any problems.

Maybe they should be released as fast as possible?

Hope this helps.

Best regards and thanks for the great work!

Hans

Looking at the dates it seems the culprit may have been linphone, which
didn't show up in aptitude search '?narrow(?installed,!?origin(Debian))'

Linphone fell over with a segmentation fault, so I will remove it
anyway.

This might help, too:

dpkg -S /etc/sources.d/audio-recorder.list # or whatever that file is
called

If the file has been installed from a package the name of the package
should be listed.

Where did those come from? I thought nvidia was abandoning support for
these, which is why I switched to debian, I want to stay with the 4
kernel as long as possible.

Form filling, etc.

[Dennis Wicks]

Greetings,

My bank and credit company use javascript or something 
similar to build the login screen so my password manager 
can't find the user-id and password fields to fill them in. 
The fields don't show up in the downloaded source code or in 
the  source code so that is no help.


Can anybody point me to some software, tutorials, etc. that 
will discover the fields displayed on the screen and enable 
me to fill them in?


Many, many TIA!!

dpkg-query: no path found matching pattern
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/audio-recorder-ubuntu-ppa-impish.list

How to reference xxxdvd1.iso in sources.list

[Richard Owlett]

I've seen a reference to using the ISO file of DVDnn in a sources.list .
I remember that it gets identified as being ISO9660 and labeled as 
trusted, But I can't find a detailed example. All I find are references 
to unpacking the iso to a directory which is then loop mounted. That's 
not what I'm looking for.

Pointers please.
TIA

If I got you right, you want the 'cdrom' schema. See sources.list(5)
man page.

This wiki [1] suggests using apt-cdrom to do the magic for you

On a new install, the ISO is added automatically to sources.list, but commented 
out. Like this:

Great, but stops on  and ,


Elsewhere in the thread you seem to have moved on from XSLT to more
promising options, but I'll make a few comments here anyways.

I suspect that those specific tags are not a primary cause of
difficulty.

I could be mistaken, of course. But I am unable to replicate this
without more information about the input document.

I wonder whether the input document is XML. (No unclosed tags, etc.)


these are HTML5 tags:

  http://html5doctor.com/the-figure-figcaption-elements/

so either we must change the XSLT rules to make use of for
example the caption at least, _or_ we must either make
a rule or tell the tool to ignore them, if such an option
exists...


Here is the Makefile [last] only one problem, the XSLT file or
xsltproc tool (?) doesn't seem to transform the HTML into RSS,
really, output is basically a text file with no markup whatsoever
except for the first line which is

 


TLDR: What you describe will happen when none of an XSLT stylesheet's
template rules match anything in the input.

XSLT is template-based, a little bit like sed or awk, but instead of
processing records (lines) in a text file it processes the nodes of an
XML tree.

When a node matches no template in your stylesheet, then *built-in*
template rules are applied:

  * The built-in template rule for the "document node" (at top of the
  tree), is to apply templates to that node's children.

  * The built-in template rule for any element is the same as for the
document node -- apply templates to the children of that element.

  * And, when we reach the leaves of the tree, the built-in template
  rule for text nodes is to copy the text to the result tree.

As a consequence, applying an XSLT stylesheet to a document that
matches none of the templates in the stylesheet results in output that
looks identical to the output you would get by applying a trivial
stylesheet containing no template rules at all!

It's a little like how the output of

 $ sed '' somefile

is indistinguishable from

 $ cat somefile


Maybe I do something wrong?


I lack fluency in make/Makefile, and I have not dug into the weeds of
that stylesheet at https://www.w3.org/2001/10/glance/doc/howto .

However, when you call xsltproc it looks to me like you not are
supplying any of the four parameters that the stylesheet html2rss.xsl
expects:

 
 
 
 
 

You might supply them like so

 $ xsltproc -o Overview.rss
--stringparam xmldata "$webpage" \
--stringparam xlsfile html2rss.xsl \
--stringparam Base "$(dirname "$webpage")" \
--stringparam Page "$(dirname "$webpage")" \
--stringparam Channel Overview.rss \
html2rss.xsl \
"$webpage"


name = tree-house

src = ${name}.html

srcpp = ${name}-pp.html

trans = html2rss.xsl

dst = ${name}.rss

opts = --html

all: ${dst}

${srcpp}: ${src}
sed -e 's/<\/*fig\(ure\|caption\)>//g' $< > $@

${dst}: ${srcpp}
xsltproc -o $@ ${opts} ${trans} $<

Can anybody point me to some software, tutorials, etc. that will

% Method A

The web browser qutebrowser has a command :inspector (or in more
recent versions :devtools) which launches an elaborate environment for
inspecting all kinds of things about the page in the current tab.

The tool once launched presents different tabs for inspecting
different things. One of them --Elements-- shows a pretty view of the
DOM tree that constitutes the current tab's document.

At least, I think that's what it is. It looks like the page source,
except that it also includes modifications made by scripts to the
page.

So it could be the sort of thing you are looking for.

Other web browsers like firefox and chromium probably have similar
tools (and qutebrowser's own is probably based on one of
these). Depending on the browser, it might be called something like
"Web Inspector" or "DOM inspector".


% Method B

In the past I occasionally used a web browser called uzbl[1] and socat
like so...

 $ uzbl http://somesite.com/something.html 2>/dev/null & uzbl_pid=$!
 $ echo js document.documentElement.outerHTML |
socat - unix-connect:/tmp/uzbl_socket_${uzbl_pid} > something_more.html

...after which something_more.html might contain items of interest
dynamically created by scripts (and so not present in something.html).

I prefered this method to "DOM Inspector" or whatever it's called,
because I got a text file with what I wanted right away without
needing to mess around learning how to use the gui interface.

But it is mostly just magic to me[2], so I do not know how to
accomplish the same with tools currently packaged in debian stable,
since the last debian release that included a uzbl package (AFAIK) was
stretch.

I do notice that like uzbl, qutebrowser has a socket in

 /run/$UID/qutebrowser/ipc-

but I have not yet figured out whether or how it can be used in a
similar way.

That's probably "sources.list.d", then, right?

If I'm not mistaken, that could mean that there had been installed a 
package which put the file there but didn't delete it after uninstall 
because it wasn't *purged* but just *uninstalled*. CMIIW, please.

That is correct, not "sources.d". I was sloppy when I copied that from 
your message… ;-)

A quick online search yielded this which might also help you to find out 
where the file came from:

https://launchpad.net/~audio-recorder/+archive/ubuntu/ppa

Yes, I was correcting myself. I thought it was sources.d until I tried
to search there and it didn't exist. :)

I haven't installed any audio recorder that I know of, but I did install
vlc recently, which I think may be able to record audio. But that is
part of debian:

 aptitude -v show vlc|grep -i archive
