OksanaStellarium! https://www.abc.net.au/news/science/2020-04-02/april-sky-guide-super-pink-moon-and-cosmic-ladder-of-planets/12102992 Nice to see open-source software being featured so in a news article.00:57
brolin_empeyI fixed the APT sources.list file on the Ubuntu 10.04.x LTS computer, installed curl but apparently curl has the same failure mode as wget when trying to download a file from https://upload.wikimedia.org/ , probably because both wget and curl use the same antiquated version or build of OpenSSL that does not support a newer version of TLS or a newer cipher or whatever https://upload.wikimedia.org/ now requires that the client software from around 2011 does11:46
brolin_empeynot support.  This limitation still does not matter in practice, though, because I have the easy workaround I already described.11:46
brolin_empeyI wonder if the software included with Mac OS X 10.5.x , which is what my mid-2007 MacBook currently has, has this same limitation.11:53
AStormfolks, I need a browser for n810 with diablo CSSU which would open Google Drive15:30
bencohif anything, I'd rather try one of the linux gdrive clients15:32
bencoh(gdrive, rclone, ...)15:32
AStormnone of the following work: MicroB, Opera, Fennec, Midori15:32
Fabberozzimodaymn son, n810... thats oldschool15:32
AStormI was unable to locate Tear15:32
KotCzarnyhow about vnc?15:33
KotCzarnyif all you need is reading something mobile15:33
AStormnah, I'm trying to retrocompute this thing into usability15:34
TimoAStorm: chromium on easy debian?15:34
AStormvnc would sidestep the problem and require too much networking availability15:35
AStormTimo, maybe, who knows15:35
bencohAStorm: you could build rclone for arm and run it on n81015:35
AStormhow ancient is easy debian?15:35
KotCzarnymemory shortage15:35
KotCzarny128mb is little15:35
bencohit's written in go, and builds as a static binary15:35
AStormchromium will probably die, fennec almost dies even with zramfs15:35
bencoh(I usually hate that, but I have to admit that for old platforms it's a blessing)15:35
AStormnew version of midori would be nice15:35
KotCzarnybtw. do you need generic gdrive access or single one?15:36
AStormmostly once, but it shows the browsers are too outdated for modern internet15:37
AStormthey're about the same as what's available for... Windows 98 SE :P15:37
KotCzarnyhttps://web.archive.org/web/20180826162814/http://xmodulo.com/mount-google-drive-linux.html15:37
KotCzarnybrowser + some shell script to mount and display it as a local dir?15:37
TimoNot sure if FUSE is available for N810, but if so it might be worth the effort to see if you can get the google drive FUSE extension to work15:38
AStormcome on, I want that thing to browse the internet, not work around google ;)15:38
KotCzarnygoodle is a pig15:38
KotCzarnybig fat pig15:38
AStormthat it is15:38
KotCzarnytrying to chew that pig with small jaw is futile15:38
KotCzarny;)15:38
bencohAStorm: unfortunately with such a limited device, actual browsing might seem ... difficult15:39
AStormeh raspi can do it, so can n81015:39
KotCzarnyrun raspi with mem=128M15:39
KotCzarnythen please report the results15:39
KotCzarny:>15:39
AStormI did, raspberry pi v1, with midori it mostly works, though slow15:39
AStormwith zramfs and some swap it's even decent15:39
AStormI guess I'll have to build new midori then, somehow15:40
norayrwhat was the tool to create vkb files? https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=79899 these files are unavailable now.16:30
AStormdunno, but these are plain text16:36
AStormor maybe not, wrong file16:37
norayryep, doesnt exist.16:37
AStormJolla should still have the tools in source code16:37
AStormxkb files though are definitely plaintext16:38
AStormfound it, still exists: http://www.upir.cz/maemo/keyboards/16:39
AStormere you go16:40
AStormeven the sources are still there16:40
AStormfor vkb, you want vkb_compiler.{c,h}16:41
