07:21 schestowitz-TR2; this morning around 5:30 the apache process had hung up

07:21 schestowitz-TR2; much of the nnight I kept waking up to check it

07:21 schestowitz-TR2; the while loop checkk did not take action

07:21 schestowitz-TR2; I used the latest version of it

07:36 Techrights-sec; I saw in the logs that it had been out three times.

07:37 schestowitz-TR2; yes, I went to sleep around 2am and earlier than this there were a couple of incidents

07:38 Techrights-sec; I should set up a Gemini capsule. What is the ETA for the return of the

07:38 Techrights-sec; mailing list?

07:38 schestowitz-TR2; mein fuhrer, steinar... I don't think it's coming back

07:40 schestowitz-TR2; fwiw, wordpress too used to have 4 or more mailing lists

07:40 schestowitz-TR2; the main one was "wp-hackers"

07:40 schestowitz-TR2; those no longer seem to be used

07:40 schestowitz-TR2; as the project grew

07:40 schestowitz-TR2; and now is so mainstrain that almost half the wqeb uses it

07:40 schestowitz-TR2; and "hackers" is nopt "professional"

07:40 Techrights-sec; Too bad, because it is needed very badly.

07:40 Techrights-sec; :(

07:40 Techrights-sec; fools

07:41 schestowitz-TR2; bbiab , morning workout

08:22 Techrights-sec; restarting again, it has locked again

08:23 schestowitz-TR2; wow, 3 times in about half an hour

08:27 Techrights-sec; yes, it would be useful to know what to investigate, it might be more useful

08:27 Techrights-sec; to have a more uptodate version of Apache

08:27 Techrights-sec; It would also be helpful to be able to add SSHGuard or Fail2Ban

08:27 schestowitz-TR2; that used to be installed and enabled on the varnish front end

08:29 schestowitz-TR2; btw, the flowers rianne arrange for my birthday are not all dead yet

08:29 schestowitz-TR2; the coronation ones still ghave 'juice' in them, i put them near me for videos

08:30 Techrights-sec; :)

08:30 Techrights-sec; There are also tricks like moving the bouquette into the refrigerator during

08:30 Techrights-sec; the night or when asleep.

08:31 schestowitz-TR2; they seem to perish faster when it is sunny

08:31 schestowitz-TR2; I put them near the window pane

08:31 schestowitz-TR2; today I will record something about IBM's treatmentt of Red Hat

08:36 Techrights-sec; light and heat finish them off quickly

08:36 Techrights-sec; IBM has basically discarded red hat, I'm not sure what the point of the

08:36 Techrights-sec; acquisition even was given how things have been (mis-)handled

08:39 schestowitz; Wrong assumptions had been made about Red Hat and then they paid too much mostly for a brand, not recognising how GPL works. A source once told us that attacks on Torvalds and 'suspension' (very shortly after announcement of takeover) were meant to lower the price of buying Red Hat. That was a year before quote mining a decade-old RMS on the most problematic issues.

09:33 schestowitz-TR2; he got corona

09:33 schestowitz-TR2; struggled to beathe for a bit, twice

09:33 schestowitz-TR2; had receivedd moderna iirc, only one dose

09:33 schestowitz-TR2; brother also caught it

09:33 schestowitz-TR2; had muscle pains

09:37 schestowitz-TR2; yes, relatives seem to get it through the kid

09:37 schestowitz-TR2; they are the infection vector you cannopt leave outside the home "for quarantine"

09:37 schestowitz-TR2; based on the accounts >I heard from my 'NDA clones,', same for rianne's sister

09:37 schestowitz-TR2; we would not be asymptomatic, nor be at great risk

09:37 schestowitz-TR2; so I am quite sure we're among the lucky ones, still

10 AM, February 2

10:04 schestowitz-TR2; the pathogen aspect was the one I originally went for

10:04 schestowitz-TR2; knowing that many natire Americans died from new diseases

10:04 schestowitz-TR2; I once read an estimate that said 90%

10:04 schestowitz-TR2; then again, I wonder if our self-isolation would also weaken us

10:04 schestowitz-TR2; to things like common flu

10:04 schestowitz-TR2; the plan is to park a little longer before it

10:04 schestowitz-TR2; becomes clearer what medical remedies are developed

10:04 schestowitz-TR2; and what exactly is going on

10:04 schestowitz-TR2; coronavirus portal has just been massaged (again) into gov messaging

10:04 schestowitz-TR2; i.e. like BillBC

10:04 schestowitz-TR2; which I am very unhappy about

10:04 schestowitz-TR2; I will need to find alternative data sources, such as excess mortality reports

10:06 schestowitz-TR2; food, medicine, power, water

10:06 schestowitz-TR2; sleep and other things follow

10:06 schestowitz-TR2; at the moment we can hibernate longer

10:06 schestowitz-TR2; the economy and atmosphere out there is shit anyway

10:06 schestowitz-TR2; tried it

10:06 schestowitz-TR2; didn't like it

11:20 Techrights-sec; ack

11:20 Techrights-sec; he's still stalking?

11:20 schestowitz-TR2; for all I care, the trolls can fight other trolls. I'd rather focus on actual issues.

11:21 schestowitz-TR2; this is being considered, after the caution system

11:24 schestowitz-TR2; oofbeat ramble:

11:24 schestowitz-TR2; from my experience over the years it is quite common

11:24 schestowitz-TR2; the comment section or some other thing

11:24 schestowitz-TR2; will attrtact isiots in need of an audience

11:24 schestowitz-TR2; if you deal with them harshly

11:24 schestowitz-TR2; then you make more enemies

11:24 schestowitz-TR2; like "Old Man"

11:24 schestowitz-TR2; Also,, the best cure is to focus on the issues

11:24 schestowitz-TR2; I think Leo Laporte defended me on the air to that effect

11:24 schestowitz-TR2; as he too experienced this

11:24 schestowitz-TR2; as did Michael Arringtonton

11:24 schestowitz-TR2; They try to hold you accountable for the behavious of mpeople

11:24 schestowitz-TR2; whom you barely know

11:24 schestowitz-TR2; and whom you do not defend either

11:24 schestowitz-TR2; in the distant past it was thast "mark Fink" person

11:24 schestowitz-TR2; likely a pseudonym anyway

11:24 Techrights-sec; yes it's a tar pit that way

11:31 schestowitz-TR2; today I will focus less on epo and more on ibm

11:31 schestowitz-TR2; i still wonder sometimes who it was that complained to twitter

11:31 schestowitz-TR2; either trans activists with a thin skin or some IBM PR people

11:31 schestowitz-TR2; could be either or both

11:32 Techrights-sec; ack

11:32 Techrights-sec; or trolls using either to deflect away from themselve

11:32 Techrights-sec; s

11:33 schestowitz-TR2; on that occasion, twitter sided with me, but that depends on the assigned

11:33 schestowitz-TR2; moderator and could have a different outcome some other day

11:33 schestowitz-TR2; without even opening up to due process or letting me appeal

11:33 schestowitz-TR2; so this is risky

11:34 Techrights-sec; anything with twitter is risky

11:34 Techrights-sec; if enough shills click on the report button then twitter will feel compelled to

11:34 Techrights-sec; appease them, no matter how far out they are

11:35 schestowitz-TR2; there is some progress on joindiaspora

11:35 schestowitz-TR2; at the end we might be better off in the control sense

11:35 schestowitz-TR2; I might have to pay more for the platform being there

11:35 schestowitz-TR2; I always donated a little

11:35 schestowitz-TR2; but at least I might have more of a hand in the opoerations

11:35 schestowitz-TR2; 20% of all posts there ever are mine

11:36 Techrights-sec; definitely

11:37 schestowitz-TR2; I might even mention the topic at a later date; atm a lot is done by email

11:37 schestowitz-TR2; to reduce noise and there is a lot of precarious negotiation

11:37 schestowitz-TR2; I very much doubt it is simple to run such a pod or instance

11:37 schestowitz-TR2; but they already limit number of new signups

11:37 schestowitz-TR2; which means moderation is not too much os a hassle

11:37 schestowitz-TR2; in terms of backups, I think the disk space used is vast

14:16 schestowitz-TR2; ota

14:16 schestowitz-TR2; recording done, ~40 mins

14:16 schestowitz-TR2; I will be voting tomorrow morning

14:16 schestowitz-TR2; but that's very near to us

14:16 schestowitz-TR2; will try to avoid human contact

14:30 Techrights-sec; Can the voting be done by mail?

14:30 schestowitz-TR2; no.

14:32 schestowitz-TR2; the pandemic has sadly made me even less eager than before to meet with or

14:32 schestowitz-TR2; interact with people unless they are trusted friends.

14:32 schestowitz-TR2; In the context of business, this means I try to minimise feuds

14:32 schestowitz-TR2; as at the end a lot of time goes down the drain

14:32 schestowitz-TR2; but time is not a very scarce commodity

14:32 schestowitz-TR2; health is

14:32 schestowitz-TR2; and stress harms health

14:32 schestowitz-TR2; so certain thingd that MIGHT lead to confrontation

14:32 schestowitz-TR2; I try my best to avoid a priori

14:33 schestowitz-TR2; put another way, think of it like this:

14:33 schestowitz-TR2; timespan is not a fixed parameters

14:33 schestowitz-TR2; it depends on many factors

14:33 schestowitz-TR2; inclkuding diet, which is impacted by mood

14:33 schestowitz-TR2; the choice and amounts of food

14:33 schestowitz-TR2; same for sleep

14:33 schestowitz-TR2; so by trying to amek shortcuts to "save time"

14:33 schestowitz-TR2; you might in fact shortening your life

14:33 schestowitz-TR2; and I think that's not a bad guiding principle

14:33 schestowitz-TR2; focus less on saving time

14:33 schestowitz-TR2; and more on extending life

14:35 schestowitz-TR2; I have just deposited a first rough draft

14:35 schestowitz-TR2; in case you want to send suggestions

14:36 Techrights-sec; ok can check in a bit

14:48 Techrights-sec; " Yet another top-level executive, _____, leaves ..." is there a reason not

14:48 Techrights-sec; to mention the name in that sentence? It would seem to fit.

18:36 schestowitz; Dear colleagues,

18:36 schestowitz; We are happy to let you know that we re-start our weekly coffee meetings in 2022. Still in virtual fashion, however, the new committee members are looking forward to meet you face to face in a hopefully not too distant - future when the situation allows us to do so.

18:36 schestowitz; In these meetings we would like to inform you on the most burning issues and get your opinion on it. For the coming meeting these are:

18:36 schestowitz; The consequences of the educational reform for staff in TH

18:36 schestowitz; Salary adjustment procedure: results and what we can do about it

18:36 schestowitz; Status of teleworking guidelines

18:37 schestowitz; But above all, we want to listen to you. SUEPO is nothing but its members, and your point of view matters very much to us.
