02:11 schestowitz-TR; I've taken time of the end-of-month tasts
02:11 schestowitz-TR; managed to do them all in less than 30 mins this time
02:11 schestowitz-TR; those could in theory be automated, but the time taken to automate it
02:11 schestowitz-TR; would be more than manual 12 times a year
02:17 schestowitz-TR; debian 11 on the pi updated
02:17 schestowitz-TR; still no new kernel for me to try to boot into (am on 5.10.x, not 5.15+)
02:17 schestowitz-TR; tbh, thinking about it, given ipfs performing poorly
02:17 schestowitz-TR; i might just let it run an hour a day
02:17 schestowitz-TR; as for wifi, won't go back to it either
02:17 schestowitz-TR; the imperative is to protect that machine

07:53 Techrights-sec2; :(
07:53 Techrights-sec2; As mentioned previously, he has gone around the bend.
07:55 schestowitz-TR; it's like when politicians sell "seat at the dinner table next to me"
07:55 schestowitz-TR; (lobbying, influencing, socialising) for like 75,000 a pop
07:57 Techrights-sec2; yes, that too
07:57 Techrights-sec2; but with him there is no 'value added' to consider
08:00 schestowitz-TR; was just thinking in relation to the two links above (mr. covid and us stats)
08:00 schestowitz-TR; if one told me, but roy.... it's because we no longer wear masks
08:00 schestowitz-TR; I'd say "I KNOW!! That's the issue! And that's why so many end up in hospital this summer"
08:00 schestowitz-TR; not sure you clicked it
08:00 schestowitz-TR; but the hospitals are getting filled with covid patients again
08:00 schestowitz-TR; if I was hospitalised for something else, that too would affect me
08:00 schestowitz-TR; and I suppose it's not just a uk issue, rianne's relatives who are nurses
08:00 schestowitz-TR; noticed an uptick as well
08:00 Techrights-sec2; I've not seen the details but know that the infection levels are higher than
08:00 Techrights-sec2; ever
08:01 schestowitz-TR; a uk issue, rianne's relatives who are nurses
08:01 schestowitz-TR; noticed an uptick as well
08:01 schestowitz-TR; 1) in summer
08:01 schestowitz-TR; 2) as WELL AS hospitalisation
08:01 schestowitz-TR; so there's no basis to the argument that. it's OK now, let it just spread
08:01 schestowitz-TR; dfc's mom just got that
08:04 schestowitz-TR; ----
08:04 schestowitz-TR; many banks have "IT" issues that go beyond Microsoft
08:04 schestowitz-TR; knowing pertinent tedetails would hep
08:04 schestowitz-TR; *help
08:04 schestowitz-TR; apropos, clown computing for a municipality from a FOREIGN provider never made sense
08:05 schestowitz-TR; I wrote about it before without naming the city
08:05 schestowitz-TR; this would not fly a decade or two decades ago
08:07 schestowitz-TR; like I said the other week/month, the issue we deal with here is more than a brand
08:07 schestowitz-TR; and "computer" schools seem to be part of the problem
08:07 schestowitz-TR; making bad practices "acceptable" because of sponsors and "the market"
08:07 schestowitz-TR; to the ordinary citizen this becomes visible or manifests itself as
08:07 schestowitz-TR; "the system is down" or "Russia is having a go (cyberattack) at us"
08:07 schestowitz-TR; it's also a cost (overhead)
08:07 schestowitz-TR; I think we must responds to the FUD, without giving too much visibility tot he
08:07 schestowitz-TR; FUD itself
08:08 schestowitz-TR; and the goal is to equip other people with artguments
08:08 schestowitz-TR; so that they do the "legwork" with us
08:08 Techrights-sec2; yes there seem to be a growing number of schools that fraudulently present
08:08 Techrights-sec2; themselves as "computer" schools when all they do is train microsoft resellers
08:08 Techrights-sec2; as far as desktop software, they don't even teach how to use the applications
08:08 Techrights-sec2; efficiently,
08:09 schestowitz-TR; so... the DIPLOMAS MILLS (certifications) became THE schools
08:09 schestowitz-TR; *DIPLOMA
08:09 schestowitz-TR; I think those always existed, but maybe it beocmes the "norm" now
08:12 Techrights-sec2; schools became diploma mills thanks in large part to the Bologna Agreement
08:14 schestowitz-TR; what does that generally mean to us?
08:14 schestowitz-TR; that more colleagues will be promoted or introduced into companies in spite of a lack of merit?
08:14 schestowitz-TR; that others ("competitors") will be wrose off?
08:14 schestowitz-TR; that the economy, collectivelyt, will be curtailed at our expense or to our detrimnent?
08:14 schestowitz-TR; hiosotyr shows that countries that don't stand out perish
08:14 schestowitz-TR; and meanwhile some countries do adopt things like matrix znd flourish with real tech
08:14 schestowitz-TR; but the one I partly have in mind here is norway
08:18 Techrights-sec2; the difference being that nowadays the countries are so interconnected that
08:18 Techrights-sec2; the forced incompetence can drag them all down; too few are able to see M$
08:18 Techrights-sec2; products for the albatross that they are and even fewer able to even make
08:18 Techrights-sec2; an effort to cast off the yoke
08:26 Techrights-sec2; how is Norway going to stand out?
08:26 Techrights-sec2; They're up to their ears in M$ products
08:26 Techrights-sec2; ever since the fallout from that first mass shooting
08:26 Techrights-sec2; One guess is that the backdoors were used as a selling point to derail
08:26 Techrights-sec2; the move to FOSS which had advanced quite far by that time
08:28 schestowitz-TR; it seems many in norway moved to apple and gnu/linux on the client side
08:28 schestowitz-TR; universally, a lot of the back end is gnu/libre/linux and bsd
08:28 schestowitz-TR; but sadly "clown"
08:28 schestowitz-TR; consolidation around few DCs owned by leazeballs
08:38 schestowitz-TR; as early as tomorrow afternoon I expect we'll have more data from "web-connected clients"
08:38 schestowitz-TR; in turkey, russia etc.
08:38 schestowitz-TR; we need to show Windows is going down
08:38 schestowitz-TR; as the media is complicity in spreading lies for Microsoft about it
08:38 schestowitz-TR; to keep foolish shareholders sinking money into The Scam
08:39 Techrights-sec2; yes the "clown" aspect allows for detailed surveillance and this thus
08:39 Techrights-sec2; "permissible"
08:39 Techrights-sec2; If the mainstream press were to point out that nearly 100% of malware,
08:39 Techrights-sec2; especially active infections, were due to M$ and not affecting GNU/Linux or BSD
08:39 Techrights-sec2; then that could bring on a tipping point quite quickly. There seem to have been
08:39 Techrights-sec2; a lot of successful, major DDoS attacks recently. Those are only possible due
08:39 Techrights-sec2; to the vast armies of compromised, networked Windows machines used in the
08:39 Techrights-sec2; huge botnets.
08:39 Techrights-sec2; The media spreading lies on behalf of M$ has been a growing difficulty for
08:39 Techrights-sec2; at least two decades now. Back at the beginning it was just the fringe
08:39 Techrights-sec2; doing that, maybe an individual author here or there but now it is the
08:39 Techrights-sec2; entirety of the trade press with no exception, aside from maybe Sam
08:39 schestowitz-TR; sam wrorte two piece of garbage yesterday
08:39 schestowitz-TR; I was about to tell you, but figured you had seen already
08:39 schestowitz-TR; nothingof value
08:40 Techrights-sec2; no I had not seen, I skim over garbage, I should try to track the names
08:40 Techrights-sec2; but I don't have the sports team mentality where I can track the players
08:40 Techrights-sec2; and their scores easily
08:40 Techrights-sec2; I'm sure he must be under great pressure to join the corruption there at work
08:40 schestowitz-TR; itwire very rarly has something of value to TR
08:40 schestowitz-TR; very rarely
08:40 schestowitz-TR; more often it's pure junk like spamnil
08:40 schestowitz-TR; like "sponsored narratives" (zdnet)

08:55 Techrights-sec2; mostly but I still check it about every other day because Sam still sometimes
08:55 Techrights-sec2; writes there and occasionally has good articles
08:56 schestowitz-TR; asssuming we both use the same joomla-generated rss feed (the site is a mess), you've not missed much
08:56 schestowitz-TR; the feed I have of his... had not yielded anything good in weeks if not months
08:56 schestowitz-TR; he does some "Smart" phone articles
08:59 Techrights-sec2; I check the actual web page but although it's low yield it is not yet low
08:59 Techrights-sec2; enough yield to drop. Though if it continues its decline there will be no
08:59 Techrights-sec2; reason to check it soon
08:59 Techrights-sec2; Broadbandbreakfast was anothe which has collapsed quickly recently
08:59 schestowitz-TR; such sites, if accessed "raw", are likely to pollute the mind of paid-for garbage and reduce the signal by adding noise to one's head
08:59 schestowitz-TR; a lot like gulag noise FRONT PAGE and anywhere in social control media that they ALREADY curate (even NOTIFICATIOBS are now
08:59 schestowitz-TR; stuffed with ICYMI BS)
08:59 schestowitz-TR; so just checking the notifiations, I received promoted junk from Twitter
08:59 schestowitz-TR; which is not acceptable
08:59 schestowitz-TR; I image ads too, but librewolf kills these

11:10 schestowitz-TR; wait, "will"?
11:10 schestowitz-TR; remember they already shilled a proxy of Microsoft, DDG, for unknown nreasons
11:10 schestowitz-TR; I can guess "dark money"
11:10 schestowitz-TR; Microsoft->DDG->EFF->EFF gives awards to Microsofters, says Big Tech, omits Microsoft as an issue
11:11 Techrights-sec2; he looks like the only one actually working towards the EFF's goals at the
11:11 Techrights-sec2; moment
11:11 Techrights-sec2; There it is, money buys silence. Probably M$ will throw in some pocket change
11:11 Techrights-sec2; soon. Memory lapse
11:11 Techrights-sec2; True
11:11 Techrights-sec2; However, I expect that soon m$ will feel bold enough to do it directly
11:11 Techrights-sec2; and not through a proxy or two
11:14 schestowitz-TR; you will know eff has gone gaga when NEW projects are on github
11:14 schestowitz-TR; I did not check certbot git repo, if any, but that would predate even the github ambush (2014)
11:14 schestowitz-TR; look up "Microsoft proxy"
11:14 schestowitz-TR; Microsoft: oh, wait, THAT kind of proxy!!
11:14 schestowitz-TR; We need BSD or "Linux" for that
11:14 schestowitz-TR; Windows cannot cope
11:14 schestowitz-TR; usually when we say "proxy" we mean something else *wing wink*
11:16 Techrights-sec2; that would suck a lot
11:16 Techrights-sec2; The CertBot page is overly complicated
11:16 Techrights-sec2; :(

11:20 schestowitz-TR; a) matey is resentful against fsf as a former paying member; I won't stop him even if he attacks the wrong people
11:20 schestowitz-TR; b) the github takeover, the way I put it (don't "do what I do", but it helps coping), is last chance to SEEM relevant
11:21 schestowitz-TR; EFF also make Privacy Badger and other software
11:22 schestowitz-TR; I don't notice them doing much coding anymore (recent years)
11:25 schestowitz-TR; do you think it is worth doing a video about latest netcraft (Microsoft almost invisible already)

12:24 schestowitz-TR; see "Linux Sucks"
12:24 schestowitz-TR; he also tried to "befriend" me, but I ignored him
12:25 Techrights-sec2; yes he appears that way, I was disappointed that he stopped doing the
12:25 Techrights-sec2; few excellent FOSS topics that he started with; must have gotten some threats
12:25 Techrights-sec2; over it or something
12:26 schestowitz-TR; he recently tried to portray a froemr employer of his, that paid him salaries for years, as nazis, based
12:26 schestowitz-TR; mostly on nationality (Nuremberg)
12:26 schestowitz-TR; all the employees there were not even alive in WW2
12:26 Techrights-sec2; ack

13:51 schestowitz-TR; excellent, thanks!
13:51 schestowitz-TR; almost done encoding now

13:51 Techrights-sec2; np
13:58 Techrights-sec2; The acronym PPH needs expanding
13:58 Techrights-sec2; the closing sentence needs further support
13:58 Techrights-sec2; or somehow tie the closing sentence to the preceding paragraphs

13:58 schestowitz-TR; I wrote them in a rush and it'll take a long time for that video to be ready anyway
13:58 schestowitz-TR; I had toi wait 20 minutes to 'cool' down before recording
13:58 schestowitz-TR; it's someething I learned during ooxml scandals

13:58 schestowitz-TR; it never did
13:58 schestowitz-TR; useless gits
13:59 Techrights-sec2; ok but maybe EPO acts like a monoarchy, I don't thing that beyond that it is
13:59 Techrights-sec2; an actual monarchy
13:59 Techrights-sec2; regarding the OOXML scandals, IIRC the entire Norwegian standards board resigned
13:59 Techrights-sec2; in protest and *nothing* was done except to restock the boad with yes men.

14:00 schestowitz-TR; y
14:00 schestowitz-TR; we wrote many posts about what had happened there

16:33 schestowitz-TR; I did not click, but saw the title
16:36 schestowitz-TR; <techrights-news> As if paperwork will protect data https://thishosting.rocks/hipaa-compliance-faqs-in-2022/

16:36 schestowitz-TR; <techrights-news> "Watch out, CRACKERS!! I have this piece of paper from ISO... that means you're not allowed to pwn me!!"
16:36 schestowitz-TR; managers: we have issues, so we need more papers, not better staff or tech
16:38 schestowitz-TR; usually they do not even check that what you tell them if in fatc true
16:38 schestowitz-TR; they just charge you money in exchange for those piece of papers
16:38 schestowitz-TR; they pay to promote these only
16:38 schestowitz-TR; ask SJVN
16:38 schestowitz-TR; he's part of that treadmill promotion now
16:38 schestowitz-TR; LF sales rep
16:48 Techrights-sec2; several seem to have ended up like he did
16:50 schestowitz-TR; a lot
16:50 schestowitz-TR; sadly
16:50 schestowitz-TR; sorry for the bad news :|
16:50 schestowitz-TR; otoh, with all these people, who once did fine work, shooting themselves in the foot,
16:50 schestowitz-TR; maybe there's more room for rebuttal
16:50 schestowitz-TR; the very latest daily links had the Bryant link just for the editorial comment next to that
16:50 Techrights-sec2; one would thing but the trade is shrinking drastically; many disappear or sell
16:50 Techrights-sec2; out and there are /no/ new positions opening up anywhere to speak of
16:51 schestowitz-TR; "Slashdot" bought Linux Journal
16:51 schestowitz-TR; the upside is that the site remains online
16:51 schestowitz-TR; the issue is, they only publish an article about twice a month
16:51 schestowitz-TR; and it's usually a howtos
16:51 schestowitz-TR; it's basically in hibernation mode
16:52 Techrights-sec2; slashdot was compromised several times over long before that
16:52 Techrights-sec2; so them gaining control over LJ was not a good thing
16:52 *psydruid (~psydruid@jevhxkzmtrbww.irc) has joined #boycottnovell
16:52 schestowitz-TR; christine hall got a little upset at me for just pointing that out
16:52 schestowitz-TR; "alienated" for truth -- relates to "cencel culture"
16:53 Techrights-sec2; yep
16:53 Techrights-sec2; yes that too
16:55 schestowitz-TR; maybe SUSE will rehire Lunduke tro prove they are NTO nazis ;-)
16:55 schestowitz-TR; BTW, carla tuxchick worked there for a while, then she vanished
16:55 schestowitz-TR; she was editor of LinuxToday and wrote books, many articles, even in Linux.com
16:55 schestowitz-TR; she was the one who told me that LF fired all the staff and editor at linux.com
16:55 schestowitz-TR; the other kept quiet like spamnil, shining all the right shoes
16:55 schestowitz-TR; eric brown used to write theyre. he gave up entirely months ago.
16:55 Techrights-sec2; :/
16:55 Techrights-sec2; they work to destroy the trademark and, more importantly, the GPL
16:57 schestowitz-TR; they outsource EVERYTHING to a GPL-destroying machine called GitHub, run by the companies that LUUUURVES Linux
16:57 schestowitz-TR; according to the bouncing monkey
16:57 schestowitz-TR; "jim, gimma yo' thigh"
16:57 Techrights-sec2; yes
16:57 Techrights-sec2; that's one method

16:58 schestowitz-TR; "digital autonomy"
16:58 schestowitz-TR; we used that term too
16:58 schestowitz-TR; it's about shithub

17:45 -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-www.cisa.gov | CISA Adds One Known Exploited Vulnerability to Catalog | CISA
17:46 Techrights-sec2; yep. they cover for m$ on a regular basis
17:48 schestowitz-TR; I saw almost 10 headlines saying CIA warns about "Linux"
17:48 schestowitz-TR; 1) it was patched months ago
17:48 schestowitz-TR; 2) it's priv esc
17:48 schestowitz-TR; 3) they miss the bigger issues listed by CISA
17:48 schestowitz-TR; 4) they are Microsoft boosters doing this
17:49 schestowitz-TR; 5) systemd, not Linux

17:50 -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-www.tuxmachines.org | Security Leftovers | Tux Machines
17:51 Techrights-sec2; yes they create a false narrative
17:51 Techrights-sec2; some of the recent vulnerabilities have been systemd based
17:51 Techrights-sec2; the goal is that of false equivalence
