08:36 Techrights-sec; listened to the glynmoody recording, he's got a good voice for reading
08:36 Techrights-sec; and good style too
09:29 schestowitz-TR; turns out the guy who quit netflix had been wooed by intel and went there
09:36 Techrights-sec; hmm
09:36 Techrights-sec; intel is not a step upwards in nearly any context
09:36 Techrights-sec; I guess the good part, even it is small, is that Intel is interested in Linux
09:50 Techrights-sec; It doesn matter what he will be working on though.
09:53 schestowitz-TR; this is the guy whose desk I told you I found shockingly bad
09:53 schestowitz-TR; considering how many years he worked on kernel staff and the expected salary level
09:53 schestowitz-TR; he can earn the setup in two days' work
09:53 schestowitz-TR; and is facing another colleague from his cubicle
09:53 schestowitz-TR; this is not new to me, I saw other workers subjected to similar conditions
09:53 schestowitz-TR; inc. sublings
09:53 schestowitz-TR; they' woulr ather work from home, cannot, thenr esort to "sour grapes"
09:53 schestowitz-TR; if homes were build like office spaces, hard-working people would be sharing bedrooms with their neighbours
09:54 Techrights-sec; yes
09:54 Techrights-sec; many programmers are exploited
09:54 Techrights-sec; Office spaces tend to be built for a combination of control and breaking of
09:54 Techrights-sec; will. That anyone can get any work done ever is just not even a side thought
09:54 Techrights-sec; for the managers who ignore study after study about productivity and
09:54 Techrights-sec; work environments

09:58 schestowitz-TR; I adopted a method that years later I saw mentioned twice in thelayoffs.com/ibm (not working url)
09:58 schestowitz-TR; I take my pay hikes when I deserve them by adjusting how much I work (net)
09:58 schestowitz-TR; in an open [sic] office that would be harder to do, probably partly by design
09:58 schestowitz-TR; nowadays, to me, part of work is, moe the eyeball and maybe the head (which makes it hard to measure
09:58 schestowitz-TR; how much I actually work), hence the large setup
09:58 schestowitz-TR; so 8 hours of work might be 30 mins of actual work
09:58 schestowitz-TR; either way, the plan is to leave as soon as something better materialises
09:59 Techrights-sec; Cubicle farms are mostly impossible to work in due to the inability to
09:59 Techrights-sec; concentrate
09:59 Techrights-sec; A small amount of mixing is good, but *only* when the participants choose to
09:59 Techrights-sec; mix. Having cubicles causes interruptions which break the ability to
09:59 Techrights-sec; carry out advanced thoughts and simplify designs.
10:02 schestowitz-TR; that might explain why free software is relatively robust
10:02 schestowitz-TR; and Microsoft's is shitwar
10:02 schestowitz-TR; years ago someone who programs at Microsoft was telling me how much he hated it when colleagues
10:02 schestowitz-TR; interfere and interrupt, so it's impossible to get any coding done
10:03 schestowitz-TR; this isn't counteer--intuitive. Testing and debugging require zero disruption
10:03 schestowitz-TR; in our company, Paul, who left due to SarinGas, was being disrupted by phonecalls
10:03 schestowitz-TR; whilse trying to write scripts and so projects
10:03 schestowitz-TR; the NOC team was able to take that off his head/hands
10:16 Techrights-sec; planning requires focus and a lack of interruption too
10:16 Techrights-sec; "a week of coding can save an hour of planning"
10:17 schestowitz-TR; i always try to automate what I can
10:17 schestowitz-TR; to the point where, while recording the video you can see the bulletin/irc report coming up on top of my browser
10:17 schestowitz-TR; gotta go join rianne with exercise now
10:17 schestowitz-TR; the living room is the gym since 2020
10:18 Techrights-sec; well-designed work flows can become routine and repetitive, and thus are
10:18 Techrights-sec; usually candidates for automation
10:58 *Despatche has quit (Quit: Read error: Connection reset by deer)
11:05 Techrights-sec; ack
11:05 schestowitz-TR; do you use any git change notifier?
11:05 schestowitz-TR; sometimes I forgot to get camerCase BEFORE posting Daily links
11:09 schestowitz-TR; TIL even fewer colleagues than I had imagined actually use GNU/Linux
11:09 schestowitz-TR; One of them uses "virtualbox"
11:09 schestowitz-TR; and another idiot was cheering for some WSL thing
11:09 schestowitz-TR; It feels bad knowing that the plan is to leave
11:09 schestowitz-TR; just a question of when
11:09 Techrights-sec; no I have to remember to check each time
11:09 Techrights-sec; I do have it set to notify about trailing whitespace and reject a commit
11:09 Techrights-sec; if they are present
11:09 Techrights-sec; :9
11:09 Techrights-sec; :(
11:10 Techrights-sec; That means that you should be looking somewhat actively now so that you have
11:10 Techrights-sec; more flexibility about when to pull up stakes
11:13 Techrights-sec; If you put away *a lot* in retirement funds, you can in princple cash out early
11:13 Techrights-sec; but that takes time and money first
11:15 schestowitz-TR; I have long thought of pension with employer contribution as a sort of vendor lockin
11:15 schestowitz-TR; for the staff
11:15 schestowitz-TR; I already have my pension scattered in two companies
11:15 schestowitz-TR; withdrawing would not be simple, and there are 'penalties'
11:15 schestowitz-TR; right now I think of a way tgo check git tail as part of the process by which I check daily links for new files eve
11:15 schestowitz-TR; ry 5 mins
11:32 schestowitz; ~/Git$ ssh git@git-tr list
11:32 schestowitz; tr-git
11:33 schestowitz-TR; trying to think how to show latest chnage/time
11:37 Techrights-sec; ack
11:37 Techrights-sec; git log -1 --format=%cd
11:37 Techrights-sec; best to just 'git pull' before anthing
11:37 Techrights-sec; ^anything
11:38 schestowitz-TR; benefits would be:
11:38 schestowitz-TR; 1) not missing the latest [tags] for new daily links domain
11:38 schestowitz-TR; 2) seeing within less than 5 mins any new changes upstream
11:38 schestowitz-TR; I already git pull to avert conflicts, if possible
11:38 schestowitz-TR; but I have on one screen a "new thing available" terminal
11:43 schestowitz-TR; for some reason I cannot run standard git commands over ssh
11:43 schestowitz-TR; ssh git@git-tr brings me to a prompt
11:43 schestowitz-TR; thaat prompt is... different
11:44 schestowitz-TR; do I need to load tr-git or something?
11:45 Techrights-sec; there is also the method of merging or whatever it is called, that con be
11:45 Techrights-sec; set in the Git client's configuration file
11:45 Techrights-sec; git log -1 --format="%at" | xargs -I{} date -d @{} +"%F %H:%M:%S %z"
11:45 Techrights-sec; that one probably goes into Git interactive mode
11:45 Techrights-sec; checking
11:45 Techrights-sec; yep that's what it does
11:45 Techrights-sec; no it is Git in interactive mode it accepts Git commands it is not a normal
11:45 Techrights-sec; shell
11:46 schestowitz-TR; Ioccasionalyl feel remorse that you pushed in new tags but I posted Daily Links already, before factoring in the
11:46 schestowitz-TR; latest changes
11:46 schestowitz-TR; and I want to avoid this situation in the future
11:46 schestowitz-TR; the cronning would nag me to pull and run my camelcase sync script
11:46 Techrights-sec; that is a configuration setting in the client, I run into that too
11:48 schestowitz-TR; I wonder how many years git has left in it before it's the next
11:48 schestowitz-TR; svn and next svn etc.
11:48 schestowitz-TR; the attacks from github (they have their OWN commamdn, gh, and I don't trust gitlab either)
11:48 schestowitz-TR; will weaken git as an open "protocol"
11:48 schestowitz-TR; *I meanty next cvs and next svn
11:49 Techrights-sec; https://git-scm.com/docs/merge-config
11:49 Techrights-sec; M$ media has been trying to make GitHub synonymous with Git especially
11:49 Techrights-sec; since the former is proprietary *AND* controlled by M$ and the latter is
11:49 Techrights-sec; FOSS and available to anyone
11:49 -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-git-scm.com | Git - merge-config Documentation
11:49 Techrights-sec; cvs -> svn -> git -> ???
11:49 Techrights-sec; git has a lot of good things but the work flow is awkward
11:51 schestowitz-TR; git was always overhyped in my view (maybe "Linux" too)
11:51 schestowitz-TR; the way it handles conflcts leave much to be desired
11:51 schestowitz-TR; to the point where I see many rather complex howtos on resolutions
11:51 schestowitz-TR; and I think there must be a better way
11:51 schestowitz-TR; the very controversation we have right now highlights one "wishlist" item
11:51 schestowitz-TR; like being able to know, without repeatedly running git pull, that
11:51 schestowitz-TR; 1) there is a change in the tail and 2) someone currently works on the
11:51 schestowitz-TR; same file
11:52 Techrights-sec; https://code-maven.com/enforce-fast-forward-as-merge-strategy
11:52 Techrights-sec; that's the whole purpose of Git and there is the merge strategy to address
11:52 Techrights-sec; that. There is also a merge style which can be used when conflicts have
11:52 Techrights-sec; to be resolve through manual editing.
11:52 -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-code-maven.com | Enforce fast forward as merge strategy in Git
11:55 schestowitz-TR; it still feels like not enough has been 'abstracted away'
11:55 schestowitz-TR; inherently because of pull/push paradigm
11:55 schestowitz-TR; not locking files
11:55 schestowitz-TR; like, (I'm sure this is possible), I am going to start editing this file
11:55 schestowitz-TR; inform server
11:55 schestowitz-TR; other users notificed of potential conflict
11:55 schestowitz-TR; for file systems and file servers there are weak mechanisms too
11:55 schestowitz-TR; but companies still lose a lot of productivity over lost work due
11:55 schestowitz-TR; to conflicting edits etc.
11:55 schestowitz-TR; to use the analogy, collab editing by sending MS Office attachments
11:55 schestowitz-TR; good wiki software tends to lock pages with timeout for editor
11:59 Techrights-sec; that's a very, very different paradigm. Git allows parallel editing
11:59 Techrights-sec; and then integrates the changes as they are pushed to the servr
11:59 Techrights-sec; maybe a pre-commit hook is available or if not could be written in shell
12:06 schestowitz; "PTY allocation request failed on channel 0"
12:06 schestowitz-TR; this always shows up before the prompt,which acts a bit like sql
12:15 Techrights-sec; usage of git shell example, from TR:
12:15 Techrights-sec; ssh git@tr-git "git-upload-pack '/home/git/tr-git/'"

15:24 schestowitz-TR; just met an ol friend (~20 years) for a long chat, he said absolutely do not leave the job
15:24 schestowitz-TR; he considers it very good relative to what else si available
15:24 schestowitz-TR; he knows the job, I've done it 11+ years
15:24 schestowitz-TR; he left his job in 2006 and stayed for 10 years with remorse about leaving it
15:24 schestowitz-TR; so in his view the green grass next door isn't so green
15:24 schestowitz-TR; and since we both work and can move anywhere to do the same job
15:24 schestowitz-TR; we should hold on to it
15:24 schestowitz-TR; that was the main subject, another one was how people looked to disrupt techrights
15:24 schestowitz-TR; he knew the site since its early days
15:24 schestowitz-TR; he stopped using twitter
15:24 schestowitz-TR; we saw a famous football today, he's also practising at the track
15:24 schestowitz-TR; in the world championship in poland my friend won the 200m (for his age group)
15:24 schestowitz-TR; that's the summary, we also watched some videos on free sofwtare/tech issues
15:24 schestowitz-TR; I told him about the belarus situation as that resembled another thing he had heard of
15:24 schestowitz-TR; I am working on part 10 now
15:26 Techrights-sec; ack
15:26 Techrights-sec; yes hold on but have an option to leave, I still consider it a very bad sign
15:26 Techrights-sec; that they've been lying so often and so blatantly and that so few are
15:26 Techrights-sec; ethical or talented with ICT
15:27 schestowitz-TR; the joke here (at home) goes,
15:27 schestowitz-TR; firthey they tried to cut off with pensions
15:27 schestowitz-TR; that backfired and it's OK now
15:27 schestowitz-TR; but now they try to make cost-saving moved with clown computing
15:27 schestowitz-TR; a
15:27 schestowitz-TR; short-sighted and over the long run very expensive mistake
15:27 schestowitz-TR; we are not shareholders
15:27 schestowitz-TR; and afaik, losing a job against one's will means compensation too
15:31 Techrights-sec; ok the compensation part is important be sue that they can't press you into
15:31 Techrights-sec; an nondisparagement contract; often it seems that employers try to extort
15:31 Techrights-sec; newly fired people into signing
15:40 schestowitz-TR; just before leaving (I met at the track, it's at the stadium just across the road)
15:40 schestowitz-TR; I was tying to find an approch for seeing git status every 5 mins
15:40 schestowitz-TR; there is no simple solution for dropping the ssh link after checking
15:40 schestowitz-TR; I tried 3 approaches
15:40 schestowitz-TR; one left a trail of stake connections, which I had predicated
15:40 schestowitz-TR; I looked around git-upload-pack
15:40 schestowitz-TR; lots of online docs
15:40 schestowitz-TR; some not working as documented
15:40 schestowitz-TR; then I left is aside
15:40 schestowitz-TR; let me see if I can push the current version to git, I think there's a file similar to it
15:40 schestowitz-TR; already on there
15:41 schestowitz-TR; pushed new file
15:41 schestowitz-TR; I thought I had already added it, so checked there's nothing sensitive in there
15:50 schestowitz-TR; I kicked myself for about 10 mins trying to recall ananalogy
15:50 schestowitz-TR; my friend said something about portland city centre and businesses avoiding it
15:50 schestowitz-TR; after I told him that my sister had moved there and regrets it
15:50 schestowitz-TR; so I said it's like Luka and HTP in Minsk -- the very thing I was editing when he phoned me to meet
15:50 schestowitz-TR; a lot of places in the world right now repel talent for various reasons
15:50 schestowitz-TR; I'm not sure where the workers go
15:50 schestowitz-TR; maybe some go to canada
15:50 Techrights-sec; ok
15:50 Techrights-sec; well it gives away that git shell is used but that's probably not important
15:50 Techrights-sec; information
15:52 schestowitz-TR; re git, I tried chaining ssh sessions and cause them to terminate on their own
15:52 schestowitz-TR; I also tried piping and filtering the output, but for that to happen it needs to come back to the seminal env
15:52 schestowitz-TR; regarding command line option, the syntax there is sooooo precarious
15:52 schestowitz-TR; even just adding one whitespace anywhere would cause it not to work
15:52 schestowitz-TR; so any CLI options for git-upload-pack would break it completely
15:57 Techrights-sec; that account is for scripting not interactive work
15:57 Techrights-sec; :)
15:57 Techrights-sec; git runs over SSH
15:58 schestowitz-TR; OK, I will change my approach completely and use git instead of ssh
15:58 schestowitz-TR; I will comment out the existing approach
15:58 schestowitz-TR; I mean I will use the git interface
15:59 schestowitz-TR; git log -1 --format="%at" | xargs -I{} date -d @{} +"%F %H:%M: %z"

16:21 schestowitz-TR; draft in wordpress
16:21 schestowitz-TR; I'm also testing a revision in the shell file
16:21 schestowitz-TR; will likely work, will then push to git
16:21 schestowitz-TR; TIL git interactive stuff, we at least explored new things
16:21 schestowitz-TR; meeting my friend, rianne also is now convinced not to rush out
16:21 schestowitz-TR; but to explore other options, which is always a bargaining card at
16:21 schestowitz-TR; the very least
16:21 schestowitz-TR; I can only do tuxmachines and techrights if both of us work from home with
16:21 schestowitz-TR; ample free time -- something that IU lacked for a number of stagnant years
16:21 schestowitz-TR; after I had completed the phd and needed to get a "real" job
16:21 schestowitz-TR; your command works splendidly well
16:21 schestowitz-TR; I pushed the change
16:21 schestowitz-TR; and the time shown updates on my "grand monitoring" display
16:21 schestowitz-TR; this way I can "sense" when there is a new update
16:21 schestowitz-TR; without having to go to desktop 9 (development) run a 'pull'
16:21 schestowitz-TR; this will be worth the investment within months (time-wise)
16:22 Techrights-sec; ack
16:22 Techrights-sec; thanks
16:25 schestowitz-TR; I will try to set myself a goal of 10 posts per day again, and 2-3 videos
16:25 schestowitz-TR; I realised today the new laptop I can very easily detach from things to record from anywhere indoor and outdoor, ev
16:26 schestowitz-TR; en without an internet connection
16:26 schestowitz-TR; using obs (that machine does not run any critical services yet, it just holds the important data)
16:52 Techrights-sec; ack
16:54 schestowitz-TR; I am going to learn (over the coming week) how I sped my time and how it can be improved
16:54 schestowitz-TR; I recently decided to deal with email from unknown sources more infrequently
16:54 schestowitz-TR; it leads to mental clutter even if it's obvious spam
17:17 Techrights-sec; time management is a useful skill
17:17 Techrights-sec; however it depends a lot on the work flow and the depends on the tasks
17:20 schestowitz-TR; various factors impact my a) setup b) taska dn thus c) workflow
17:20 schestowitz-TR; sometimes I shuffle things around for no reason other than technical woees
17:20 schestowitz-TR; like hdmi refusing come on with one pc, while working Ok with another
17:20 schestowitz-TR; I also shufflesd around for water and liquid safely
17:20 schestowitz-TR; like spills on laptops
17:20 schestowitz-TR; it's always a work in progress
17:20 schestowitz-TR; in terms of topics covered, github series is temporarily on the ice (or ICE, GitHub fav)
17:20 schestowitz-TR; Gemini is just there, working in the backgroudn
17:20 schestowitz-TR; Set and forget so to speak
17:20 schestowitz-TR; some jobs (work) are routine and "boring", but here there's a range of stuff
17:20 schestowitz-TR; I want to tinker less and write more
17:20 schestowitz-TR; I'm not so involved in IRC lately
17:27 Techrights-sec; makes sense, the writing is the most valuable and most effective,
17:27 Techrights-sec; everything else is just a means to enable that
17:28 schestowitz-TR; twitter was quite effective around 2016-17, I think it may have peaked in some sense around that time
17:28 schestowitz-TR; but it capitalised on a lot of disruption, which it actively contributed to
17:28 schestowitz-TR; on many levels
