8 AM, September 1

08:03 schestowitz-TR2; been running apachetop on tuxmachines-old this past ~8 hours

08:03 schestowitz-TR2; still about 3.5-7 hits/sec

08:03 schestowitz-TR2; I am dealing on an indiovidual basis with traffic "types"

08:03 schestowitz-TR2; not to eliminate access to older posts

08:03 schestowitz-TR2; but channeling people in a more suitable direction

08:03 Techrights-sec; ack

08:03 schestowitz-TR2; while we polish the new site

08:12 schestowitz-TR2; TM used to do many original articles

08:13 schestowitz-TR2; for me and rianne, a few blog posts only

08:13 schestowitz-TR2; the site needs to be information pipe (of FUD filter)

08:13 schestowitz-TR2; to be channeled across many prtocols etc.

08:13 schestowitz-TR2; some people subscribed only to select topics

08:13 schestowitz-TR2; and still got a lot owing to posting volume

08:13 schestowitz-TR2; btw, ankush dad from itsfoss wrote for some other site yesterday

08:13 schestowitz-TR2; first time I see that

08:13 schestowitz-TR2; susan did the same at one point

08:13 schestowitz-TR2; because.... income

08:13 schestowitz-TR2; the problem is, they lose editorial control

08:13 schestowitz-TR2; they become a tenant in someone else's platform

08:13 schestowitz-TR2; not even linux-centric sites

08:13 schestowitz-TR2; jsvn shilled LFDM (Diploma Mill) yesterdat

08:16 schestowitz-TR2; sometimes in their "new" (rented) platform they produce FUD and clickbait

08:16 schestowitz-TR2; ankush dash (coipying from the screen): virtualbox: is it safe oir a security risk?

08:16 schestowitz-TR2; that's a loaded headline with question mark

08:16 schestowitz-TR2; it's foss did not use that tone

08:16 schestowitz-TR2; this is what happens when they write for outsiders

08:16 schestowitz-TR2; sjvn too

08:16 schestowitz-TR2; I don't have to respect that

08:19 Techrights-sec; yes though there is the income problem regardless

08:19 Techrights-sec; we should do some final testing of the secondary accounts access today

08:19 Techrights-sec; on TM

08:24 Techrights-sec; can you add it to /etc/ssh/authorized_keys/arindam in the style of the test keys?

08:24 schestowitz-TR2; yes, I thought about this yesterday

08:24 schestowitz-TR2; for now it's about adding arindam's key

08:25 Techrights-sec; still more work is needed,

08:25 Techrights-sec; checking ...

08:26 schestowitz-TR2; yesterday one other contrib to TM came to TM's IRC channel

08:26 schestowitz-TR2; there were about a dozen active accounts, but only a few were making important contribs

08:31 Techrights-sec; $ ssh -t -i some.key arindam@tm add

08:31 Techrights-sec; $ ssh -t -i some.key arindam@tm update

08:31 Techrights-sec; Other accounts can be added if needed.

08:33 schestowitz-TR2; we'll need to do better vetting than with tuxmachines-old as a couple of times I gave access/account to people whose sold contribution was uttrly shit

08:33 schestowitz-TR2; webspam-like promotion of some employer

08:33 schestowitz-TR2; *sole

08:33 schestowitz-TR2; then I started asking, what would you use the account for?

08:37 Techrights-sec; ok

08:37 Techrights-sec; better to focus on quality

08:38 schestowitz-TR2; I justified unpublishing those or relegating (away from front page) by calling them spam

08:38 schestowitz-TR2; esp. if there was no connection to Linux

08:55 Techrights-sec; ack

08:55 Techrights-sec; There ought to be not just a connection to Linux but some non-spam like

08:55 Techrights-sec; characteristics.

08:57 schestowitz-TR2; I've just cleaned gemini and rss stuff

08:57 schestowitz-TR2; some interesting find there

08:57 schestowitz-TR2; "quiet quitting"discussed a lot -- thatr's what I did this year

08:57 schestowitz-TR2; I'm going to add the keys now and send him material to teach him how to test (or post)

08:58 Techrights-sec; yes the companies have taken control of the narrative, there is some pushback

08:58 Techrights-sec; though, about asserting rights.

08:58 schestowitz-TR2; like "great resignation" -- the media likes to lie

08:58 schestowitz-TR2; btw, in epo they still do industrial action

08:58 schestowitz-TR2; work stoppage/slowdown

08:58 schestowitz-TR2; empoyers try to shame people who don't pick calls or read email outside work

08:58 schestowitz-TR2; japan had to pass LAWS about that

08:59 Techrights-sec; Thanks. If he spots any bugs or has any ideas to simplify the workflowk

08:59 Techrights-sec; please let me know.


9 AM, September 1

09:13 Techrights-sec; they are stealing time and being blatant about it, on top of that

09:13 Techrights-sec; employees lose at least 2 hours per day in the commute

09:13 Techrights-sec; many are in denial about that time and dont count much of the commute, such

09:13 Techrights-sec; as getting from parking to work or getting from home to the highway

09:14 schestowitz-TR2; yup

09:14 schestowitz-TR2; btw, rianne got TENTATIVE "pass" result (it's either pass or no pass)

09:14 schestowitz-TR2; I am checking mail atm, which I hate doing

09:14 schestowitz-TR2; postal service on strike atm, so formal printer results maybe 8 days from now, not 4-5, they said to her

09:15 Techrights-sec; tentative congratulations, when will the final result for that be?

09:26 schestowitz-TR2; ------

09:26 schestowitz-TR2; i forgot where exactly to add it, hence thought it would be quicker to send to you (it's public anyway)

09:26 schestowitz-TR2; will send him guidance for tests

09:30 Techrights-sec; ok

09:30 Techrights-sec; it's been added now, if it wasn't borked in transmission or pasting here

09:39 schestowitz-TR2; I just need TB to store my old messages OK

09:39 schestowitz-TR2; I don't use it (or email) much anymore

09:39 schestowitz-TR2; partly Mozilla to blame for that

09:39 schestowitz-TR2; I used to have it open all the time for rss feeds

09:39 schestowitz-TR2; rianne too move to quiterss

09:39 schestowitz-TR2; *moved

09:39 schestowitz-TR2; btw, I saw what SANS posted about IRC

09:39 schestowitz-TR2; associating it with cycbercrime

09:39 schestowitz-TR2; while attacking SSH at the same time

09:39 Techrights-sec; Yes, IRC is virtually a crime on its own if you listen to the M$ crowd

09:39 schestowitz-TR2; as if bad password are an inherent problem in SSH itself

09:39 schestowitz-TR2; or, worse, in "Linux"

09:39 schestowitz-TR2; IRC is still around

09:39 schestowitz-TR2; SANS complains that it refussesa to die

09:40 schestowitz-TR2; ]'.edu

09:40 schestowitz-TR2; f' em

09:40 schestowitz-TR2; I hope they too die, along with NIST

09:40 schestowitz-TR2; the post cited some student or somesuch, but the poster was high-level SANS person

09:43 Techrights-sec; Same for IMAPS and SSH

09:43 Techrights-sec; IMAPS and SSH allow for commodity services and that's the threat for M$

09:43 Techrights-sec; and thus the agitation by it minions

09:45 schestowitz-TR2; trying to say something witty along the lines of,

09:45 schestowitz-TR2; when the powers that be feel threated by some activity or tool or person

09:45 schestowitz-TR2; they wilkl find a way to make it "illega"

09:45 schestowitz-TR2; and hence, nothing new under the sun

09:45 schestowitz-TR2; lots of m"articles" latelyt blaming "Linux" for bad passwords and/or open ports

09:45 schestowitz-TR2; with default p/w

09:45 schestowitz-TR2; in TM and TR I post just links, no blockquotes, with quick rebuttal

09:45 schestowitz-TR2; hoping other people will borrow the response and spread it on

09:45 schestowitz-TR2; till that FUD becomes less potent

09:45 schestowitz-TR2; and they try to come up with new bullshit

09:45 Techrights-sec; yep

11:25 schestowitz-TR2; draft

11:25 schestowitz-TR2; what you asked for

11:26 Techrights-sec; The default for certificate signing was 1 month, the default can be overridden

11:26 Techrights-sec; so it's now set for just over three years.

11:26 schestowitz-TR2; getting new tarball

11:28 schestowitz-TR2; checked your pi, checked my pi, now I think you mean the server

11:29 schestowitz-TR2; found it

11:29 schestowitz-TR2; better to say which machine next time ;-)

11:29 schestowitz-TR2; we have like 7 shared machines ;-)

11:36 schestowitz-TR2; are you sure you didn't just gunzip the script, without the certs?

11:36 schestowitz-TR2; I get tls errors if I run the file on its own

11:36 schestowitz-TR2; did not check if certs are inline

11:36 schestowitz-TR2; no nver mind

11:36 schestowitz-TR2; ark gui being utter shit

11:45 schestowitz-TR2; also had to remind myself to change to tls 1.2 on this system

11:45 schestowitz-TR2; it's running ok now

11:45 schestowitz-TR2; waiting for Daily Links

11:45 schestowitz-TR2; see draft if you have time

11:45 schestowitz-TR2; we become a thorn to them

11:54 Techrights-sec; checking

11:54 Techrights-sec; they are there still (see ipfs.techrights.org)

11:54 schestowitz-TR2; I got mqqt working (tl;dr)

11:54 schestowitz-TR2; I'm adding more references to the LF draft

11:55 Techrights-sec; :)

11:55 Techrights-sec; mosquitto does not provide helpful or useful error messages


noon, September 1

12:41 schestowitz-TR2; published a meme too

12:41 schestowitz-TR2; recording

1 PM, September 1

13:35 schestowitz-TR2; done

13:35 schestowitz-TR2; I notice you also uploaded other-links for 2/9/2022

13:35 schestowitz-TR2; maybe that's OK, I will just opent the 1/9/2022 file

13:42 Techrights-sec; the 2/9/2022 should be removed there,

13:42 schestowitz-TR2; ok, anyway, I ignore that for now


2 PM, September 1

14:01 schestowitz-TR2; I think htmlk today does not like <video> tags

14:01 schestowitz-TR2; those got turned into just a fallback link, I think

14:01 schestowitz-TR2; no big deal

14:01 schestowitz-TR2; *html tiday

14:27 schestowitz-TR2; the article I copies with the code from TR was watered down to show <video> part as just a link

14:27 Techrights-sec; The article probably had not done the link correctly

14:41 schestowitz-TR2; mentioned inn the latest TR video/article

14:41 schestowitz-TR2; if the troll was ever to sue, I could pursue discovery

14:41 schestowitz-TR2; but work ofmouth on phone means one can never prove such a etheory

14:41 schestowitz-TR2; and afaikm speaking to them or taking action only enboldens them

14:41 schestowitz-TR2; so I should just ignore and move on

14:41 Techrights-sec; yep

14:41 *Mio14 (~quassel@freenode-ivh.hks.f90g06.IP) has joined #boycottnovell

14:42 schestowitz-TR2; our series about epo and montenegro will start soon

14:42 schestowitz-TR2; this should be fun

14:42 schestowitz-TR2; ana area where covering crimes in one institution exposes another

14:42 schestowitz-TR2; or a wholw nation, in english..

15:00 *psydroid2 (~psydroid@memzbmehf99re.irc) has joined #boycottnovell

15:17 Techrights-sec; Excellent. Though the meme is confusing: the EPC is good thing and should be

15:17 Techrights-sec; supported while at the same time the EPC is a bad thing and should be

15:17 Techrights-sec; finalized as dead (which it is).

15:17 Techrights-sec; European Patent Convention

15:17 Techrights-sec; European Patent Court ?

15:17 Techrights-sec; The EPC is advantageous to all computer /users/ not just the developers.

15:17 Techrights-sec; That includes companies and institutions which use software, and is

15:17 Techrights-sec; not limited to companies or institutions which may develop software.

15:17 Techrights-sec; Anyway, I would say strongly that the EPC is good while in contrast

15:17 Techrights-sec; the EPO and other should cease to promote the crap which is the EPC immediately

15:18 schestowitz-TR2; EPC is for EPO

15:18 schestowitz-TR2; and EPO is corrupt

15:18 schestowitz-TR2; so the EPC too can be dunk

15:18 schestowitz-TR2; *sunk

15:18 schestowitz-TR2; EPC is not for anyone, except maybe eu courts

15:18 schestowitz-TR2; i am not sure how it works

15:18 schestowitz-TR2; but i think courts here assess local patent law

15:18 schestowitz-TR2; after eP validation of pertistent patents
