Dear all,
Over the last days, weblate is too slow to be used. It was always a bit
struck by latencies, but over the last days, it is just not usable. I
have no idea what the problem is, oversubscription was my instant
thought. On https://weblate.org/de/ our project is listed as one of the
most active ones. Prior to asking, do we have funds to get some extra
hosting privileges? Or could we possibly find someone from somewhere to
sponsor this? I read something like 25 $/Euro per month on
https://weblate.org/de/hosting/ .

It is apparently GPL'd, but version is not stated and is also
available as a git clone,
I assume up-date-able by a git pull.
This box has a 6 core i5 with 32Gigs of dram and could probably run
it, but my
upload pipe is rather tiny as its a 10 megabit cable ADSL. Around a
megabyte/sec down,
250 to 300 Kilobytes up.
As such, it would be w/o support other than what might be available
from git
pulls on a regular basis. And I'm not using but about 6% of my monthly
bandwidth allocation of 750G's.
I also don't know how many languages are supported by the git clone,
The language data may have a different license that costs real
money. That should not be a surprise. It should be investigated by
someone
with more upload bandwidth than I have available if you want it done
fast.
LinuxCNC has been good to me, and I'd be glad to contribute something
back. if the
languages costs aren't too onerous.
Up to you folks. If interested, I'll git clone it and see what I get.
Thank you, Gene. I also have machines online that could run this. But my
time is too precious these days (which is also why waiting for Weblate
hurts so much) and yours is, too. Concerning giving back, I think you
are giving already, but if you'd fancy to improve the documentation on
the English front (language, extra content, discussing what redundant
bits should be cut, reorganisation, use cases, tables, figures, their
captions, ...) then the project would be helped a lot.
Best,
Steffen
And that may be my weakest point Steffen. There may be a place or 3
where I consider
the docs a bit opaque, but that is as much as I feel qualified to say,
mainly because my formal
indoctrination in the schools of this once great country ceased after
the 8th grade. I quit
because they were seriously holding me back. I turned 17 working at the
A. A. Schneiderhan
company in Des Moines. Iowa, who was then the Zenith wholesaler for
Iowa, and the northern half of
Missouri, fixing the Zenith tv's the dealers couldn't. So my formal
education in the language
is not as thorough as some. Technically I'm pretty good, but it took me
a couple years to get a
pin added to the gui on a per axis basis, to be used to update the
touch-off axis to be the
last axis moved. All because I put a couple 100 ppi dials on the apron
of my lathe so I could
drive it with them considerably more accurately than the hand cranks
that left during the CNC'ing
of a then 75 yo Sheldon.
I guess I was blessed with a mother that was the only girl in the 1929
class on aviation technology
at the Des Moines Tech high school. If she didn't know the answer to a
little boys questions, she
did know where the library was, so I was reading high school physics
books at the same time I
was reading McGuffey's readers in school. One of the questions I asked
her, at age 6, was "what
is gravity?" 80 years later we still aren't sure. Iowa had their own
version of the S/B IQ test and
I got a 147 on that in the 7nth grade. Then in the middle of the Korean
war, I had my draft
number moved up to get that out of the way since if drafted, you were
stuck for 2 years, but if
you volunteered, it was for 4 years. Taking the AFQT at the induction
center, I scored a 98.
Next best in the 130+ boys that day was 36. That got me classified 4f
because they knew I
wasn't about to charge out in front a a rattling machine gun, and some
Sargent would shoot
me for dis-obeying orders. I was a liability IOW.
So I went back to work in electronics and started looking for a woman.
One found me in '58.
I found us in '60, in Rapid City, building Titan sites for Norair, and
when that was done, the FCC
was in town testing folks for their licenses as we'd fell in love with
the hills and decided to stay,
so I passed the 1st phone and went to work eventually at KOTA which got
me into broadcast
engineering which in 72 found me in Nebraska when I spotted in the local
fish wrap that the
local 2 year college was giving the Certified Electronics Technician
test. $20 bill for that, which
I gave them the finished test in 45 minutes of the 4 hours they
allocated for it. So I am one of them.
A somewhat elite group, less than 200 in the whole country.
Fast forward a few more decades, I spent the last 18+ years as the
Chief and often only
Engineer at WDTV here in West Virginia. But in 2002 the hours that took
were getting to
me so I retired.
That was 20 years ago. My luck with the girls hasn't been so good, my
first had a stroke and died
in '68, I picked up a local glass hopper in '70, but she had her own
agenda and left in 85, I
found an old maid school teacher in '89, and she passed from COPD in 2020.
My health isn't that good, long time type 2 diabetic, a pacemaker keeps
me going along
with a replacement valve in my heart.
I'll be 88 in October, the place is paid off, has been for 23 years so
I'm rattling
around around by myself these days.
You need someone with a better knowledge of the language than I have.
Take care & stay well, Steffen
Cheers, Gene Heskett.
