billymg: since the #select was formerly done in the themes and I gather now in the 'footnotes' processor, perhaps that would need to be reverted too in one's theme? |

http://ossasepia.com/2020/06/01/ossasepia-logs-for-Jun-2020/#1027177 - ah, this rings a bell and I'll need to have a look because iirc I have one level nested replies (though not sure it has anything to do with the theme as such, hm) |

2020-06-17 03:54:19 (#ossasepia) billymg: diana_coman: ^ the above probably a better answer to your earlier question |
| 15:11 |
jfw |
whaack, possibly you have some restrictive 'umask' causing the permissions trouble in the first place, but yes cp -p can be helpful |
| 15:15 |
jfw |
Working through the process for a demonstration, deploying TRB in a fresh environment - even knowing where to look for all the pieces - is definitely a pain; and my own wallet too though less so |
| 15:18 |
diana_coman |
lol, a more familiar pain with own wallet? |
| 15:18 |
jfw |
V alone or at least the one I'm using so far doesn't get you over the hill of 'resolve this project name / key / whatever to a set of files ready to press' |
| 15:19 |
jfw |
diana_coman: perhaps, but own wallet has fewer pieces needing to be rounded up so far |
| 15:20 |
diana_coman |
that sounds like a script being sorely needed |
| 15:21 |
diana_coman |
and a write up afterwards. |
| 15:23 |
jfw |
that's probably the practical approach, yeah; but needing a special unique script for this one thing grates. I need a bitcoin-bootstrapper, why? haven't I already bootstrapped a unix and V? |
| 15:25 |
diana_coman |
well, that route it's already "why do I need to bootstrap V, haven't I already bootstrapped a unix?" heh |
| 15:27 |
diana_coman |
the "why" in the end is simple really - because there's no better alternative available and no, can't wait "however long it takes" until that better alternative is "ready" etc |
| 15:31 |
jfw |
"that's how we ended up in this software mess in the first place" sticks in my head but I can't disagree |
| 15:32 |
jfw |
comes right back to balancing present vs future costs. |
| 15:34 |
diana_coman |
no, it's not that how we ended up in this software mess in the first place, heh |
| 15:35 |
diana_coman |
choosing what is as opposed to what one might want is certainly not "how one ends up in mess" |
| 15:36 |
diana_coman |
note though that choosing what has to be chosen *now* doesn't mean that it has to remain like that forever or anything of the sort |
| 15:37 |
diana_coman |
you can argue perhaps that making a script now lowers the pain and thus makes the problem less visible/easier to ignore - in which case fine, don't make the script and keep the pain until the root trouble gets solved, sure |
| 15:38 |
diana_coman |
only I don't think it's your clients who are supposed to either solve it or wait until it's solved. |
| 15:48 |
jfw |
I think I get it - or at least I've got as far as I'm going to from chewing on this example. |
| 15:52 |
jfw |
this one script won't be creating bigger problems, in itself; my thinking was that by using something you become more dependent on it + the system it's a part of. perhaps that's more a result of using it blindly or allowing that to happen than of the mere use though ("don't blame the drug") |
| 15:56 |
diana_coman |
jfw, that is exactly what I mean above by makes the problem less visible to some extent; but this visible always depends inevitable on who and how is looking, heh. |

I'm just slower to figure out what I'm arguing then! |
| 16:07 |
diana_coman |
well, came to rant and ended up arguing - it might take a while to switch! |
