06:12 schestowitz; <p>More than a decade ago, the U.S. Department of Defense determined that computer sabotage could be considered an act of war, but it did not say which cyberattacks, specifically, would meet this threshold. To date, no clear consensus has emerged about what constitutes cyberwar or how it should be defined. Thats how the pharmaceutical company Merck ended up in a legal battle with its property insurers over more than $1

06:41 Techrights-sec2; ok will double check

06:41 Techrights-sec2; oops.

06:41 Techrights-sec2; looking

06:41 Techrights-sec2; pushed to git

06:41 Techrights-sec2; re-uploaded

06:42 schestowitz-TR; thanks, was this the only cchange in the file|?

06:42 schestowitz-TR; because I have just emptied it at my side, without posting

06:42 schestowitz-TR; to social control media

06:42 schestowitz-TR; 6:30am and I am done with political links, can foducs

06:42 schestowitz-TR; on other things

06:42 Techrights-sec2; yes, that should be the only change unless there were sites which updated

06:42 Techrights-sec2; between now and then

06:59 Techrights-sec2; time for a second workout then?

06:59 schestowitz-TR; at 9am after work


7 AM, March 2

07:00 schestowitz-TR; I lowered my guard when it comes to that

07:14 schestowitz-TR; rianne's 1+ day was ruined by a payroll mistake

07:14 schestowitz-TR; they corrected it lateer, but the damagee had already been done

07:14 schestowitz-TR; thius week I will change some of my scripts to stop using hastags

07:15 schestowitz-TR; they do ahave a meaning in the context of irc, but those refers

07:15 schestowitz-TR; toi channels that do not actually exist on our network

07:15 schestowitz-TR; all in all I think I am ready to leave behind that "Era"

07:15 schestowitz-TR; of social contorl media

07:15 schestowitz-TR; as I do not suspect it to magiclaly, all of a sudden,

07:15 schestowitz-TR; make some comeback

07:15 schestowitz-TR; it is not how such waves work

07:15 schestowitz-TR; wonce it wanes it'll just go down and down

07:27 schestowitz-TR; I haver just posted daily links for the morning and owing to the fact

07:27 schestowitz-TR; that I am now posting these things differently the time between collection and

07:27 schestowitz-TR; publishing is a lot smaller, which means that on many grounds we are better off

07:27 schestowitz-TR; for neglecting or generally abandining social controo media

07:27 schestowitz-TR; one thing that I noticed is, all the ntags lack space because they

07:27 schestowitz-TR; were originally made foe hasshtags, but

07:27 schestowitz-TR; within the context of a Web siote they can be with space, like a

07:27 schestowitz-TR; first name surname rather than surname or firstnamesurname

07:27 schestowitz-TR; that woiulds probably look better as well

07:27 schestowitz-TR; I might change some things at my end also, in order tyo add such

07:27 schestowitz-TR; tags to the links I collect at my end manually

07:27 schestowitz-TR; but first I want to see what happens after friday

07:27 schestowitz-TR; the most likely thing is, they will let me expert my data

07:27 schestowitz-TR; and I might import it somewhere, then not actuallyt bother much with it

07:27 schestowitz-TR; ecept perhaps when I publish

07:27 schestowitz-TR; something that I myself wrote

07:27 schestowitz-TR; which might mean 12 "tweets" per day

07:27 Techrights-sec2; Should they be re-done with spaces?

07:27 Techrights-sec2; Ok, but it is a lot of entries to edit

07:27 Techrights-sec2; The spaces can be removed in an automated manner later if needed again.

07:29 schestowitz-TR; good point, maybe instead oif changing that file a rule can be set to analyse camel case and if camelcase is

07:29 schestowitz-TR; detected, then it addsa a space for that particular mode

07:29 schestowitz-TR; I am guessing that automating the camelcase expansion for tags, even at risk of some false positives

07:29 schestowitz-TR; would not do much harm

07:30 Techrights-sec2; It's about 3100 entries at the moment.

07:30 Techrights-sec2; That is error prone but removing them can be automated rather safely as far

07:30 Techrights-sec2; as I know.

07:31 schestowitz-TR; looking at today's daily links, I will need to change something at my side too in order to add these tags from my side, improving consistency and predictability of linking

07:31 schestowitz-TR; so you have a rough idea of what the source is

07:31 schestowitz-TR; maybe I can reuse your 3000+ items list

07:59 Techrights-sec2; I'm adding spaces, it will take quite a while.

08:37 schestowitz-TR; did you say something after I had pasted the link?

08:37 Techrights-sec2; no, I closed the wrong window

08:41 schestowitz-TR; gulag news is getting worse

08:41 schestowitz-TR; the amount of shite I see with the words "global" and/or "market" in it has increased

08:41 schestowitz-TR; long titles with keyword stuffing

08:41 schestowitz-TR; how on earth does gulag consider to be worth of "news"?

08:42 schestowitz-TR; they neglected this crap to death

08:42 schestowitz-TR; or maybe they rely on web interface ti rank things and shide the craop

08:42 schestowitz-TR; the rss feeds associate with gulag noise are getting less useful over time

08:42 schestowitz-TR; and they have not had excerpts or proper clustering foir ages

08:49 Techrights-sec2; no idea of the cause but they do serve up 99% crap and have for a few years

08:52 schestowitz-TR; one way or another we need to 'drain the swamp' of spam

08:52 schestowitz-TR; that the www has become a

08:52 schestowitz-TR; and is still becoming

08:52 schestowitz-TR; some of it is not classic webspam

08:52 schestowitz-TR; but shit like valve sending bribes to so-called vloggers

08:52 schestowitz-TR; so you cannot find any honest reviews

08:52 schestowitz-TR; and it's all paid-for marketing sdpam

08:52 schestowitz-TR; or spamnil working like zemlin contractor

08:52 schestowitz-TR; pushing the most laughable companies you have ever (NOT) heard of

08:52 schestowitz-TR; atlkeast that seems to be slowing down and almost stopping

08:52 schestowitz-TR; he is still at it

08:52 schestowitz-TR; and the linux gakmes, the linux experiment etc.

08:52 schestowitz-TR; mostly do marketing videois

08:52 schestowitz-TR; I suppose they decided to just 'cash in' on their "subscribers"3~

08:53 Techrights-sec2; It's hard because (re-)decentralized, off-the-shell, self-hosted WWW is not

08:53 Techrights-sec2; addictive and competes against social control media which is not only addictive

08:53 Techrights-sec2; but higly addictive and heavily marketed by Mainstream media.

08:53 Techrights-sec2; Many sites have sold out in the last two years.

08:54 schestowitz-TR; not for much, either

08:54 schestowitz-TR; fossforce was trying to resume for a bit, lost momentum again

08:54 schestowitz-TR; the "content" there became more like ads

08:54 schestowitz-TR; it's like there's not really a will to cover anything

08:54 schestowitz-TR; that does not ranslate into money

08:54 schestowitz-TR; phoronix is still being phoronix

08:54 schestowitz-TR; I stopped linking to it altogether

08:54 schestowitz-TR; but I think it's a bit of a unqieue case

08:59 *u-amarsh04 has quit (Quit: Konversation terminated!)


9 AM, March 2

09:00 Techrights-sec2; I've not followed Phoronix at all since deciding that the sellout was a

09:00 Techrights-sec2; peranent situation

09:02 schestowitz-TR; he is still receiving gifts, steam deck included, and as noted yesterday in IRC

09:02 schestowitz-TR; yesterday he at least disclosed that a link of his was an "affliate"

09:02 schestowitz-TR; link so if you buy something he gets a share

09:02 schestowitz-TR; so maybe there is at least thism awareness that people

09:02 schestowitz-TR; are watching these ethical aspects

09:02 schestowitz-TR; also, perhaps more importantyly, no microsoft spam there for quite a while now

09:02 schestowitz-TR; maybe he has decided on something

09:02 schestowitz-TR; or maybe just a coincidence

09:04 Techrights-sec2; I hope it is the result of a conscious decision to avoid M$ spam

09:04 Techrights-sec2; (and M$ bribes)

09:07 schestowitz-TR; rianne has repeatedly told mne not to mention this issue too often as it can come across as an "obsession"

09:07 schestowitz-TR; but any reduction iun such posts from phoronix would overall be a good thing

09:07 schestowitz-TR; having said that, I am tempted to mention it again in the future, one way or another

09:07 schestowitz-TR; I still use phoronix to find some links to other sites

09:07 schestowitz-TR; like some release announcements

09:07 schestowitz-TR; as for cnx, the past 4-5 days were good

09:07 schestowitz-TR; no spam and no offtopic junk

09:07 schestowitz-TR; but 4-5 days isn't much

09:07 schestowitz-TR; the www as a whole is getting worse

09:07 schestowitz-TR; which is why I am easger to link more to gemini and hope it'll continue

09:07 schestowitz-TR; to grow

09:07 schestowitz-TR; it does not have many tech news sites in there

09:07 schestowitz-TR; but I think that can change in the future

09:07 schestowitz-TR; esp. as techs occupy that space a lot

09:07 schestowitz-TR; real tech, not so-called self-styled "tech journalists"

09:08 Techrights-sec2; However, even wit hthe WWW it is important to promote original content and

09:08 Techrights-sec2; link to it when possible (when it is authentic and not advertising posing

09:08 Techrights-sec2; as content)

11 AM, March 2

11:01 Techrights-sec; yes, the CamelCase.pm module has to be in place and the script needs to point

11:01 Techrights-sec; to it.

11:01 Techrights-sec; use lib "$ENV{HOME}/lib/";

11:01 Techrights-sec; is the line which tells the script where to look for the library. You can

11:01 Techrights-sec; make a symlink directory from there to where you actually have it ot just

11:01 Techrights-sec; make a regular directory ~/lib/ and keep a copy of CamelCase.pm there.

11:17 schestowitz-TR2; I tried many nthings before but what 'got' me was the need for a subdir "/Link"

11:17 schestowitz-TR2; because the code refers to it as such

11:17 schestowitz-TR2; it works now :-)

11:17 schestowitz-TR2; it loooks like it replicates the tag, a second time, as it basicallyt runs once at your end, then mine

11:17 schestowitz-TR2; so maybe I can run it at my end alone?

11:17 schestowitz-TR2; ok, it is in my pipeline now

11:17 schestowitz-TR2; some get "0" because there is nothing defined for them

11:17 schestowitz-TR2; so I will help by pushing back to git

11:17 schestowitz-TR2; or alternatively it can be configured to leave it blank or omit tag for unknown domain?

11:17 Techrights-sec; :)

11:17 Techrights-sec; ok

11:35 Techrights-sec; There's not an HTML structure for the 'tags' so it'd be hard to double check

11:35 Techrights-sec; that way.

11:36 schestowitz-TR2; maybe another option is, it can check if a tag already esists. If one does, it does not add an additional one

11:36 schestowitz-TR2; and if there is a tag with 0 in it, it gets removed

11:36 schestowitz-TR2; this way there's no tag piling

11:36 schestowitz-TR2; I've tested it at my end, it works well with the dialog menu and all

11:36 schestowitz-TR2; and it runs the latest file from Git, with no static copy of it, except the CamelCase file (PM)

11:36 schestowitz-TR2; ok, I will add a pass to remove [0] occurences

11:36 schestowitz-TR2; and I support we need to run interleave only once

11:56 schestowitz-TR2; is this normal? does not seem fatal? debug?

11:56 schestowitz-TR2; I think I can guess what may have caused it, there is an issue at one bit of the html, let

12:00 schestowitz; <blockquote>

12:00 schestowitz; <p>The former operators of SetTV, a pirate IPTV service that was ordered to pay $90 million in damages to DISH Networks, are reportedly back in business with several new services, in violation of a permanent injunction. Some of DISH's evidence comes from telephone recordings obtained from a country sheriff's office where one was incarcerated.</p></blockquote></li>

12:00 schestowitz; <blockquote>

12:00 schestowitz; <p>Most Pirate Bay proxies only exist to mirror the original torrent sites but extreme situations can trigger unprecedented actions. The Russian-operated Pirate-bays.net, which has millions of monthly users, is taking a clear stand against the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The site has ditched its advertisements in favor of a "Stop Putin" banner, which solicits donations to the Ukrainian army.</p></blockquote></li>

12:01 Techrights-sec; Can you post a sample file somewhere and I can use that for debugging?

12:21 Techrights-sec; ack

14:05 schestowitz-TR2; just this morning i said the site had imporoved a bit

14:05 schestowitz-TR2; but then he proves us wrongl, pushing wsl and showing off gifts

14:54 schestowitz-TR2; rianne says the test kits we got have 7 in each kit

14:54 schestowitz-TR2; so total 14

14:54 schestowitz-TR2; don't know about expiry

14:54 schestowitz-TR2; the gas price are going through the rroof

14:54 schestowitz-TR2; imagine what this means tio a mfamily that

14:54 schestowitz-TR2; 1) uses heating (we don't, just hot water bottles)

14:54 schestowitz-TR2; 2) has 2-6 kids

14:54 schestowitz-TR2; I am going to hack a bit on code, maybe push some file soon

14:54 schestowitz-TR2; news is not too busy today

14:54 Techrights-sec; ack

14:54 Techrights-sec; it never is any more


3 PM, March 2

15:15 schestowitz-TR2; ok, pushed something to git

15:15 schestowitz-TR2; let it stay as is as it's simple for me to hack on

15:15 schestowitz-TR2; and it's not likely to be of use to anyone else

15:15 schestowitz-TR2; it can help me roll back in case of D-R

15:15 schestowitz-TR2; or me braking something

15:15 schestowitz-TR2; (also transpasrency, I suppose

15:16 Techrights-sec; ack

15:16 Techrights-sec; the culling of empty nodes can be done with links-cull-empty.pl instead

15:17 schestowitz-TR2; this is for a template where there are lines without any blockquotes either

15:17 schestowitz-TR2; and at least a ppast version of that curll-empty did not handle these

15:17 schestowitz-TR2; so I just added a quick hack

15:17 schestowitz-TR2; this whole thing takes less than 1 sec to run anyway

15:18 Techrights-sec; sed is a risky way to deal with XML

15:18 schestowitz-TR2; this particular portion of it has caused no issues in years

15:18 Techrights-sec; xmlstarlet would be another way instead of sed

15:35 schestowitz-TR2; maybe I will check if there are some other files I have lying around

15:35 schestowitz-TR2; links-latest.sh gives too manby details away

15:35 schestowitz-TR2; like paths and account names

15:35 schestowitz-TR2; I also have daily-links.sh

15:35 schestowitz-TR2; no secrets per se, but paths and accounts

15:35 schestowitz-TR2; the ytalk scripts also contain sensitive info

15:35 Techrights-sec; too late :/

15:35 Techrights-sec; ack

15:35 Techrights-sec; links-cull-empty.pl can be adjusted

15:35 schestowitz-TR2; my backup scripts have device IDs

15:35 schestowitz-TR2; UUIDs

15:35 schestowitz-TR2; fetch_and0-cut_video.sh is not in git

15:35 schestowitz-TR2; it uses youtube-dl

17:27 Techrights-sec; can you provide some examples of nodes which need to be deleted but are skipped

17:27 Techrights-sec; by the current script?

17:27 Techrights-sec; ack

17:27 Techrights-sec; do you have a sample of the nodes which the cull script should also remove?

17:28 schestowitz-TR2; back (was asleep)

17:28 schestowitz-TR2; it is exactly what it is in grep, but it's possible the current perl file already deals with that regardless

17:29 Techrights-sec; if it is followed by an empty blockquote, it is deleted/

17:29 Techrights-sec; if there is no blockquote after it then it is left alone

17:35 Techrights-sec; however if it is failing to delete nodes that are empty but have an empty

17:35 Techrights-sec; blockquote too, then that needs to be fixed.

17:37 schestowitz-TR2; When I think about it, for a number of years already I don't think this pattern ever gets invoked, caught, or condition

17:37 schestowitz-TR2; kicks in

17:37 schestowitz-TR2; because the tmmplate has no msuch lines anyway
