03:55 schestowitz-TR2; going to get some tea, let me know if there's something that needs doing

03:56 schestowitz-TR2; I have suprisingly ample free time today

03:56 schestowitz-TR2; I think the US too had soime holiday

03:56 schestowitz-TR2; rianne gave to 3 elap[hant charities last night, as she said she would upon passing

03:58 Techrights-sec; Well to revisit the EPC question,

03:58 Techrights-sec; European Patent Convention (1973)

03:58 Techrights-sec; versus the EPC

03:58 Techrights-sec; European Patent Court (illegla, unconstitutional fraud)

03:58 Techrights-sec; The Wikipedia article on the EPC is garbage and is filled with a lot of

03:58 Techrights-sec; EPO garbage and points to their site a lot. Wikipedia is all about squatting

03:59 Techrights-sec; or parking on a page, plus edit wars, so I am not sure how to address the

03:59 Techrights-sec; question of EPC vs EPC

03:59 schestowitz-TR2; if you check the LF article in wikipedia

03:59 schestowitz-TR2; see the notices at the to

03:59 schestowitz-TR2; *top

03:59 schestowitz-TR2; same issue for FSFE

03:59 schestowitz-TR2; those pages are marketing brochures

03:59 schestowitz-TR2; wikipedia is inherently flawed

03:59 schestowitz-TR2; the PR people just borrow the brand "wikipedia" as an authoritative name


4 AM, September 2

04:00 Techrights-sec; Yes, wikipedia very design is flawed and vulnerable to marketing teams.

04:00 Techrights-sec; See the two paragraphs starting with "However, the EPC provides further indications on what is patentable."

04:00 -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-en.wikipedia.org | European Patent Convention - Wikipedia

04:00 -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-en.wikipedia.org | Software patents under the European Patent Convention - Wikipedia

04:00 schestowitz-TR2; "check wikipedia about us" = check what text we're maintaining on wikipedia

04:00 schestowitz-TR2; even their battistelli article is an utter joke

04:05 Techrights-sec; A poor joke at that, yet some how it is necessary to counter it.

04:05 Techrights-sec; I stopped trying to make an effort with Wikipedia after they started sucking up

04:05 Techrights-sec; to m$ over the ODF and standards pages fell under their control. I was rather

04:05 Techrights-sec; sceptical of Wikipedia's premise before that, having seen from the day it was

04:05 Techrights-sec; announced that various squatters and teams took over specific topics and

04:05 Techrights-sec; presented their warped and, often, wrong spin in place of either the established

04:05 Techrights-sec; real-life situation XOR presenting a well-rounded debate / summary of the debate

04:05 Techrights-sec; tldr; the whole thing is a corporate marketing brochure posing as a useful

04:05 Techrights-sec; resource

04:05 schestowitz-TR2; I found out a very long time ago that editing wikipedia is a waste of time unless you fix z typo

04:05 schestowitz-TR2; nobody will roll back a type fix

04:05 schestowitz-TR2; anything else will vanish by the "real owner/s" of a said page

04:05 schestowitz-TR2; it's "look but don't touch"

04:05 schestowitz-TR2; or it's like moving an item at home

04:05 schestowitz-TR2; rianne will sooner or later put it back where it was

04:09 Techrights-sec; yep

04:09 Techrights-sec; no it would be a waste of time to try to edit wikipedia, that's for sure

04:10 schestowitz-TR2; it's a common thing

04:10 schestowitz-TR2; you can move it

04:10 schestowitz-TR2; but it'll be back to the "right" place

04:10 schestowitz-TR2; anywaym wikipedia is not mine

04:10 schestowitz-TR2; like fedora is not mine

04:10 schestowitz-TR2; it's ISCBM's

04:10 schestowitz-TR2; they control the council

04:10 schestowitz-TR2; so it's never my duty to "fix" wikipedia

04:10 schestowitz-TR2; it's illusion of crowdsourcing

04:10 schestowitz-TR2; let it perish

04:10 schestowitz-TR2; the sad thing, corporate and polical articles sink some rather good bios and science articles there

04:10 schestowitz-TR2; like social control media, maybe it'll be better off dead

04:10 schestowitz-TR2; or WE will be better off without it

04:13 schestowitz-TR2; ---

04:13 schestowitz-TR2; when people tell me "Wikipedia says... blah blah, maybe change this and that" I roll by eye a bit

04:13 schestowitz-TR2; just like contacting "journalists"

04:13 schestowitz-TR2; it's a waste of time as the publishers choose not only the topics

04:13 schestowitz-TR2; but also how to cover those topics

04:13 schestowitz-TR2; the sponsors call all the shots

04:13 schestowitz-TR2; so you're 'masturbating' with that fantasy of media still being accountable to readers of "the world"

04:13 schestowitz-TR2; they're agenda pushers, and unless you pay them they don't give a shit about you

04:13 schestowitz-TR2; remember hos microsoft FLEW 'journalists' to write about OOXML. Even people from poor countries.

04:17 schestowitz-TR2; ---

04:17 schestowitz-TR2; while sites that specialise in topics are typically very open to being proven wrong

04:17 schestowitz-TR2; it's not about persistence, like the 'gamification' (or ... gaming) of wikipedia

04:17 schestowitz-TR2; and so you end up not with meritocricy

04:17 schestowitz-TR2; but pateintocracy or people with the deepest pocket playing the longest

04:17 schestowitz-TR2; so basically the way things used to be... was likely better

04:17 schestowitz-TR2; and like social control media, the terrain got easier to game

04:17 schestowitz-TR2; like W-E gaming Microsoft pages

04:17 schestowitz-TR2; they just buy more "players"

04:17 schestowitz-TR2; like nation states making tens of thousands of twitter bots

04:17 schestowitz-TR2; they need not even post anything

04:17 schestowitz-TR2; just game the rating system for "trrend"s and "trending" and false percception of popularity

04:17 schestowitz-TR2; they can cause instability in enemy states this way

06:29 schestowitz-TR2; seems rianne passed with distinction

06:29 schestowitz-TR2; btw, re nat friendman

06:29 schestowitz-TR2; do we want to expose him before or after he shows up somewhere else?

06:29 schestowitz-TR2; it can be strategic, but...

06:29 schestowitz-TR2; we do have more materisl

06:29 schestowitz-TR2; iirc, his next venture might have been more of that crypto 'coin' scams

06:29 schestowitz-TR2; similar to madame zemlin

06:29 schestowitz-TR2; rianne does not speak in public

06:29 schestowitz-TR2; seeing what I'm subjected to from trolls

06:29 schestowitz-TR2; in spite of not being on the spectrum or anything

06:29 schestowitz-TR2; so she wants to keep a low profile

06:30 schestowitz-TR2; the spouses of miguel and nat are becoming a liability

06:30 schestowitz-TR2; same for jim zemlin

06:30 Techrights-sec; Congratulations to Rianne on the excellent results!

06:30 Techrights-sec; Hard to say, what are the advantages of publishing now? If the material is

06:30 Techrights-sec; publsihed closer to him performing new antics they might have effect. I would

06:30 Techrights-sec; guesstht if they are published now, there is time for them to blow over or

06:30 Techrights-sec; be normalised.

06:30 Techrights-sec; Does the LF have a charter or constitution anywhere? If so, what are the

06:30 Techrights-sec; priorities actually listed there?

06:32 schestowitz-TR2; hang on...

06:33 schestowitz-TR2; spent too much time chasing an older reference

06:34 schestowitz-TR2; I previosuly compared, based ont ehri official site, how things had changed

06:34 schestowitz-TR2; like community being removed

06:34 schestowitz-TR2; and the words changing

06:34 schestowitz-TR2; I did several such posts, buyt would take further work to find for little net benefit

06:34 schestowitz-TR2; though the purpose is, to you, just to affirm what you already knoiw

06:34 schestowitz-TR2; so I needn't convince you at all

06:35 Techrights-sec; Cryptocurrencies are a total waste of electricity and do further damage

06:35 Techrights-sec; by trying to coopt the nickname 'crypto'; The mainstream press encourages that.

06:35 Techrights-sec; (both)

06:35 Techrights-sec; yes but having a document makes it official and possibly a matter on which legal

06:35 Techrights-sec; action can be taken to correct their behavior

06:37 schestowitz-TR2; wait, do you mean there might be a truly legal basis for someone, even not LT himself (too blackmailed, see IRC logs for today and Thursday)

06:37 schestowitz-TR2; , doing something to restore the mission?

06:37 schestowitz-TR2; it did not work in eff, that's for sure

06:37 schestowitz-TR2; gillmore was driven out

06:37 schestowitz-TR2; based on words I saw, not even peacefully

06:37 schestowitz-TR2; they were fueding

06:37 schestowitz-TR2; and he wasn't the survior

06:37 schestowitz-TR2; *vivor

06:37 schestowitz-TR2; *feuding

06:37 Techrights-sec; If they are legally obligated to do certain things according to their charter

06:37 Techrights-sec; then yes

06:39 schestowitz-TR2; based on what I posted yesterday, the IRS keeps getting told different things about what LF actually is

06:39 schestowitz-TR2; imagine patents or other things being like this

06:39 schestowitz-TR2; many laws are

06:39 schestowitz-TR2; constittutions less so

06:39 schestowitz-TR2; but there are amndments and revolutions

13:55 schestowitz-TR2; I've noticed that special kinds of "spaces" (not visible, but some kind of special chars) cause the CMS to show an odd symbo9l

13:55 schestowitz-TR2; I am familiar with wordpress having trouble with certtin such chars

13:55 schestowitz-TR2; they can invalidate rss feeds at times

13:55 schestowitz-TR2; what a dumb charset design

13:55 schestowitz-TR2; kate shows them as blank with coloured borders around the blank

13:55 schestowitz-TR2; so they are at least a bit visible

14:05 Techrights-sec; I figure that site is probably using it in a legitmimate manner, but I suspect

14:05 Techrights-sec; other use it and other non-printing characters as markers.

14:19 schestowitz-TR2; I think I can handle the rest OK and I put my changes in rianne's shell scripts too, so the older issue

14:19 schestowitz-TR2; has rarely crept in lately

14:19 schestowitz-TR2; all in all, it's improving over time and we get faster

14:19 schestowitz-TR2; it's just the news getting slower

14:20 Techrights-sec; I'd like to make sure that the output is correct. The input and the db contents

14:20 Techrights-sec; are ok, but this is perhaps a symptom of something else.

14:20 Techrights-sec; The x200A hair spaces can be zapped and replaced with regular spaces, but

14:20 Techrights-sec; if this is symptom of a wider problem it would be best to figure out the

14:20 Techrights-sec; real problem and fix that (and then also zap the x200a hair spaces too)

14:38 Techrights-sec; to rearrange the structure on a database which is in active use while it is in

14:38 Techrights-sec; active use; That'll haunt us for a while.

14:38 Techrights-sec; Indexes might be possible to safely add, once the right values are figured out.

14:38 Techrights-sec; The cascading deletion probably not.

14:41 schestowitz-TR2; it actuslly looks not so much like a db issue

14:41 schestowitz-TR2; the pages or entries are updated immediately

14:41 schestowitz-TR2; it's when the gemini and web pages get regenrated that it takes a little longer

14:41 schestowitz-TR2; maybe because it does queries against many existing entries, but that is read-only

14:41 schestowitz-TR2; I think it creates the same pages over and over again when in fact, it typically just needs to rewrite about 3 entries because of prev and next

14:42 Techrights-sec; That will be slower than the HTML page generator because so much processing

14:42 Techrights-sec; has to be done under the hood to find and remove HTML structures in a particular

14:42 Techrights-sec; way, in a particular order per document;

14:42 Techrights-sec; Yes, that is likely. It needs to handle skips in sequences better and the

14:42 Techrights-sec; current approach has too much redundancy.

14:43 schestowitz-TR2; you asked, which errors do rianne and marius see

14:43 schestowitz-TR2; the main ones that look off/odd:

14:43 schestowitz-TR2; Wide character in print at /usr/local/bin/tm-generate-feed.pl line 130.

14:43 schestowitz-TR2; Error: Problem setting TLS options: File not found.

14:43 Techrights-sec; Oh. The TLS error from mosquitto there, Error: Problem setting TLS options: File not found.

14:43 Techrights-sec; Ok the second one can be addressed. Checking now

14:45 schestowitz-TR2; yes, but I want to emphasise that things are overall good

14:45 schestowitz-TR2; the site had no downtime at all and these niggling issues are typically minor details

14:53 Techrights-sec; That should be good now. Where should the list of MQTT clients be annotated?

14:53 Techrights-sec; You, I, TM, and Git all have ones. The certificates are good for just over

14:53 Techrights-sec; three years. If no other changes are needed between now and then, new ones will

14:53 Techrights-sec; have to be created and deployed then.

14:53 Techrights-sec; The wide character problem won't likely be solvable until upgrading to Rakulang

14:53 Techrights-sec; It might be stifled, but then so would other error messages. Though

14:53 Techrights-sec; there might be a way around just that one line.

14:56 schestowitz-TR2; thanks, excellent.

14:56 schestowitz-TR2; I need to observe, over time, when this issue occurs and what automated substitutions to make

14:56 schestowitz-TR2; it's just a matter of time

14:56 schestowitz-TR2; when you say "the list of MQTT clients" do you mean keeping abrest of all accounts that are hooked to the agent/server?

14:56 schestowitz-TR2; if these APIs are open to all, maybe we can list clients that can be installed

14:56 schestowitz-TR2; much like the gemini software page

14:56 schestowitz-TR2; oh, wait

14:56 schestowitz-TR2; I just saw "tux machines site update"

14:56 schestowitz-TR2; so I assume you configured the client to have a topic

15:05 Techrights-sec; Yes

15:05 Techrights-sec; that was a test of the new certificate for that client

15:23 Techrights-sec; topic in mqtt corresponds to channel in irc

15:23 Techrights-sec; when a client is subscribed to the topic it can receive messages sent to that

15:23 Techrights-sec; channel, mosquitto_sub shows only the payload of that message nothing else

15:46 schestowitz-TR2; gonna go out to send parcel, pick up something, see how much I can save on food (usually worth the time as if I was paid to work full time)

15:46 schestowitz-TR2; [more so with soaring "RRP"in food shops; we looked at some restaurant menus in town, they too skyrocketed]

15:46 schestowitz-TR2; back in about 2 hours

17:31 schestowitz-TR2; sent parcel, earned 10

17:31 schestowitz-TR2; spent 10 on food that would otherwise cost 50

17:31 schestowitz-TR2; total savings 40pounds, in 1-2 hours of walking exercise

17:31 schestowitz-TR2; i hopem this 'life hack' remains feasible for another decade, it can save a ton of money

17:31 schestowitz-TR2; price of milk went up by about 50% in just a number of months

17:31 schestowitz-TR2; didn't noticed until today as we don't buy milk and eggs ypically

17:31 schestowitz-TR2; their price might double soon

18:54 Techrights-sec; A lot of staple items are increasing in price drastically. Reports here

18:54 Techrights-sec; are that at the same time the farmers are getting the same or less than before.

18:54 Techrights-sec; So one can conclude that it is the shops eating the difference.


7 PM, September 2

19:05 schestowitz-TR2; speaking of farmers, I bet the price of pitchforks went up by a lot

19:05 schestowitz-TR2; so fewer can buy one

19:05 schestowitz-TR2; bargain hunting is one form of protest

19:05 schestowitz-TR2; I had to nag a lot just to get someone to actually serve me at the till

19:05 schestowitz-TR2; prices double, service eliminated

19:05 schestowitz-TR2; some "progress"...

19:07 schestowitz-TR2; ---

19:07 schestowitz-TR2; I have a battle left to win against vgery spicy chilli

19:07 schestowitz-TR2; I bought many packs

19:07 schestowitz-TR2; had to take a break halfway

19:07 schestowitz-TR2; will finish the battle later tonight

19:07 schestowitz-TR2; taking a break, rest, biab
