**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sat Feb 09 02:59:57 2019 Feb 09 10:31:48 Apparently jwz.org is an HTTPS Web site that I cannot load in MicroB nor Opera on my Maemo 5 installation due to outdated TLS client software. So now I have seen the failure mode. Apparently the HTTPS Web sites I created for a customer of my company using apache2 + a wildcard certificate from Let’s Encrypt using acme.sh are compatible with my Maemo 5 installation, though. Feb 09 10:35:02 The Let's Encrypt part should just be a matter of having the right certificates. No reliance on particular versions of protocols. Feb 09 10:36:30 Anyway, jwz.org works for me on Opera, because of my MITM program. Feb 09 10:37:25 https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html?d=jwz.org shows OpenSSL 0.9.8y under "Not simulated programs (Protocol mismatch)" Feb 09 10:42:19 ACK. Feb 09 12:14:02 hmm it is starting to seem that Pidgin is to be blamed for my "lost cellular connection" Feb 09 12:14:57 but don't ask me how it is possible. Feb 09 12:17:12 I was doing fine for many hours. Did some irc and some light use, but when I started messaging in facebook. Device lost network and that happened three times during one conversation. Now I will disable facebook from pidgin and see what happens. Feb 09 12:33:15 :P Feb 09 12:39:12 oh well. Shut down pidgin as a whole now. Feb 09 12:41:25 i use facebook with pidgin sometimes, and have not observed any connection issues (besides slightly faster battery drain) Feb 09 12:45:29 I'll keep it shut for a day now and see if I lose connection or not. Feb 09 12:46:28 but this can all be a coincidence and my modem is just dying slowly Feb 09 12:47:28 or just your sim Feb 09 12:47:35 but let the reason be any it is still a tadd annoying. Feb 09 12:51:07 well, next week I'll ask or new sim and change provider if they refuse to give me one. Feb 09 12:51:12 for* Feb 09 18:31:09 Fennec in my Maemo 5 installation cannot load jwz.org either but I did not check if Fennec can load anything else because that required more patience than I had because my N900 user experience is still too bad (too slow, too unresponsive, GUI keeps stopping responding, too frustrating to use). Feb 09 19:57:02 Vajb: Have you tried using ethanol or isopropyl alcohol to clean the contacts of your SIM? Sometimes I have to do that with the contacts on my laundry smart card. Feb 09 20:03:36 I wiped it clean with electronics oil which claimed to make better contact. Feb 09 20:04:20 but now I know it is not pidgin's fault Feb 09 21:31:47 also can be gsm antenna contacts, if not, most probably gsm chip fault couse of bga Feb 09 22:57:37 Mm .. lots of read errors on that SD card now. Feb 09 22:58:06 * Maxdamantus is doing a ddrescue over the network. Feb 09 22:59:09 * Maxdamantus needs to figure out how to get the SD reader on his Thinkpad x240 to work sometime so he doesn't have to use his Aspire One, which has a faulty screen connection. Feb 10 00:03:00 how much I need to open the device if I clean antenna contacts? Feb 10 00:11:23 many of you might have missed: [9 Feb 2019 22:48:54] [wallops] Users of mIRC are urged to update their client to the latest version (v7.55) as versions previous are affected by a Remote Code Execution vulnerability.
