01:20 Techrights-sec; There are over a hundred distros based directly on Debian:

01:20 Techrights-sec; https://distrowatch.com/search.php?basedon=Debian

↺ https://distrowatch.com/search.php?basedon=Debian

01:21 Techrights-sec; Then if you count the distros based on those, there are hundreds more.

01:21 -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-DistroWatch.com: Put the fun back into computing. Use Linux, BSD.

01:26 schestowitz-TR; I put that in TM because it's important to give visibility to critics too

01:26 schestowitz-TR; we're not a cult like ICBM or Microsoft

01:28 Techrights-sec; Debian's central position in the ecology (so to speak) makes it a very valuable

01:28 Techrights-sec; target; As it gets taken over, more unscrupulous individuals get involved

01:28 Techrights-sec; and fewer technically skilled; It becomes about exploitation, technical at

01:28 Techrights-sec; first ...

01:28 Techrights-sec; IMHO that is one of the reasons IBM targeted it for systemd. The derivatives

01:28 Techrights-sec; then fell like dominos. Some skullduggery went on with the vote, if you reall,

01:28 Techrights-sec; as systemd wasn't even in the TC's top three choices yet 1) it was chosen by

01:28 Techrights-sec; one person and 2) everyone both in and out of the technical committee,

01:28 Techrights-sec; with few exceptions, drove it home, 3) those few exceptions objecting to

01:28 Techrights-sec; the flawed process or the flawed product were hounded out of the project and

01:28 Techrights-sec; the community.

01:37 schestowitz-TR; need sleep, voting tomorrow around 9am

01:42 schestowitz-TR; bb in a few hours

01:42 schestowitz-TR; doing a full (first) backup of 'bubi', the new PC with OSB on it

01:42 schestowitz-TR; the critical data and files is safe through redundancy

01:42 schestowitz-TR; I trust magnetic more than SD and SSD

01:42 schestowitz-TR; speeds don't matter if the life is short

01:42 schestowitz-TR; it is very time-consuming having to move all the data from one machine to another

01:43 Techrights-sec; ack

01:43 Techrights-sec; yes magnetic is better in many regards, just monitor the output from

01:43 Techrights-sec; smartmonctl occasionally

01:43 Techrights-sec; slow especially if the network is not 1Gb/s or faster.

08:39 schestowitz-TR; Wow! Campinos with his tamtrum has scored a massive own goal

08:39 schestowitz-TR; It not only hurts him and the Office but also UPC

08:39 schestowitz-TR; The EFF has said nothing for a week

08:39 schestowitz-TR; but not they give assurances and try to keep it "internal"

08:39 schestowitz-TR; (yes, of course there will be leaks, there's no "internal" for EPO anymore)

08:39 schestowitz-TR; great stuff!

08:39 schestowitz-TR; I said EFF, I meant EPO

08:39 schestowitz-TR; this freudian slip says something about EFF

08:39 schestowitz-TR; EFF has blasted reporters like Assange, in a sense, after Barlow (Assange friend) was gone

08:39 schestowitz-TR; although not directly

08:39 schestowitz-TR; then there was thr RMS stance and boosting of Microsoft + proxies

08:39 schestowitz-TR; EFF is another Mozilla

08:40 Techrights-sec; Finally!

08:40 Techrights-sec; Remember that in politics on of the tactics is to get the opponent to lose his

08:40 Techrights-sec; cool.

08:40 Techrights-sec; The EFF has been a cascade of disappointments since Barlow's passing.

08:40 Techrights-sec; Ah. Makes more sense now, but still the EFF has been a cascade of disappointments since Barlow's passing.

08:45 Techrights-sec; Skimming corporate money while swaning around doing the opposite of their

08:45 Techrights-sec; charter?

08:45 Techrights-sec; ^swanning

08:50 schestowitz-TR; It's a short-term, short-sighted "business" model

08:50 schestowitz-TR; you get money from the defection from A to B

08:50 schestowitz-TR; A stops paying

08:50 schestowitz-TR; B pays for thedefection to influence A

08:50 schestowitz-TR; A goes away

08:50 schestowitz-TR; B stops paying because A cannot be infleunced anymore

08:51 schestowitz-TR; the real way to go about is, keep A happy

08:51 schestowitz-TR; That was was you org was for all along

08:51 schestowitz-TR; (ex. OSI)

08:58 Techrights-sec; That's the superficial business model. What the sponsors are really paying for

08:58 Techrights-sec; is for the institution to alienate its userbase, betray its raison d'tre,

08:58 Techrights-sec; and burn bridges with its former community. Once the situation is irrevocable

08:58 Techrights-sec; they will have gotten their money's worth and can withdraw support and

08:58 Techrights-sec; let the institution die. The stenographers will then dutiifully report

08:58 Techrights-sec; that there is not public support for the institution and therefore it has

08:58 Techrights-sec; declined, fully deflecting from the subversion.

11:43 schestowitz-TR; soy 1 lit. 55p

11:43 schestowitz-TR; cheaper than i remembered

11:43 schestowitz-TR; got loads of these

11:43 schestowitz-TR; for months

11:43 schestowitz-TR; cooking oil limited to 3 bottles now

11:43 schestowitz-TR; need to ask staff

12:41 schestowitz-TR; you did not click the billbc link

12:41 schestowitz-TR; I did, saw jkust the summary

12:41 schestowitz-TR; I put my comments in IRC -social

12:41 schestowitz-TR; BBC will die in a prison

12:41 schestowitz-TR; it's like Mozilla and EFF

12:41 schestowitz-TR; they will fall on their sowrd

12:41 schestowitz-TR; savile didn't kill them

12:41 schestowitz-TR; this might

12:41 schestowitz-TR; maybe it'll even become cautionary tale

12:41 Techrights-sec; which is sad becaue decades ago it was a rather good service

12:41 Techrights-sec; at least three decades ago ...

12:41 Techrights-sec; not two or less ...

12:43 schestowitz-TR; I listened as a kid

12:43 schestowitz-TR; it was OK

12:43 schestowitz-TR; nowhere near this cesspool

12:43 schestowitz-TR; gossip, COVID misinformation, whitewashing perverts

12:43 schestowitz-TR; this is the "exist strategy" = sel out

12:43 Techrights-sec; Around 2 decades ago BBC World was utter crap already

12:44 schestowitz-TR; I thought doing some response or meme, or...

12:44 schestowitz-TR; but anything of this kind would give attention to something

12:44 schestowitz-TR; I will just put it deeper in the ashtray

12:46 Techrights-sec; some short response for Gemini

12:46 Techrights-sec; it' already chock full of microsofters, so the writing has been on the wall

12:46 Techrights-sec; and given the trajectory it is on, the demise is unavoidable without culling

12:46 Techrights-sec; management -- i.e. inevitable and just a question of when not if

12:48 schestowitz-TR; they have not been keeping up with the times. I think you saw digi-vegan's comment

12:48 schestowitz-TR; he used to work there

12:48 schestowitz-TR; if they mentioned the savile thing (before it was widely known), they'd risk

12:48 schestowitz-TR; getting sacked

12:48 schestowitz-TR; maybe I should refer to the whole BBC as

12:48 Techrights-sec; yes

12:48 Techrights-sec; gates, savile

12:48 schestowitz-TR; The Bill & Savile Broadcasting Corp.

12:48 schestowitz-TR; people would get the references, I think

12:49 schestowitz-TR; the key point is, remind people what bbc did for savile

12:49 schestowitz-TR; and that it takes bribes from gates

12:49 schestowitz-TR; and has learned no lessons sense

12:49 schestowitz-TR; *since

12:52 Techrights-sec; yes it seems very much so

13:02 Techrights-sec; ack

13:02 Techrights-sec;

13:04 schestowitz-TR; my thinking here is,

13:04 schestowitz-TR; get upset less

13:04 schestowitz-TR; do more

13:04 schestowitz-TR; make them pay for it

13:04 schestowitz-TR; I can make them pay for it a little at the time, over the next 5 years

13:04 schestowitz-TR; it adds up

13:04 schestowitz-TR; leah already gets very upset in IRC (at BBC)

13:04 schestowitz-TR; maybe the anger will come out at gates

13:04 schestowitz-TR; not RMS

13:04 Techrights-sec; ack

13:04 Techrights-sec; good approach

13:04 Techrights-sec; keep working away at it

13:04 Techrights-sec; leah does very good work and at very important tasks, from what I read

13:07 schestowitz-TR; I regard a lot of the anti, then pro, than anti-RMS period (all of tyhem AFTER 2014, mind you!)

13:07 schestowitz-TR; to be attention-seeking, based on her own words, too

13:07 schestowitz-TR; basically using the high-profile name to publicise oneself

13:07 schestowitz-TR; the media has this tactic and people who exploit the media too

13:07 schestowitz-TR; even slapping someone at the oscars can make an old "star"

13:07 schestowitz-TR; that nobody has given a shit about for over 10 years suddently

13:07 schestowitz-TR; the most spoken about person, for at least a week

13:07 schestowitz-TR; without having broken any law

13:11 Techrights-sec; ack

13:11 Techrights-sec; the slap was assault but my cynical idea is that it was mostly a publicity stunt

13:11 Techrights-sec; there have been no actual repercussions

13:11 Techrights-sec; not that charges would have been anything more than an inconvenience to someone

13:11 Techrights-sec; as wealthy as he appears to be

13:11 Techrights-sec; anyway, I think that there is growing acknowledgement that RMS was thrown under

13:11 Techrights-sec; the bus, but not publicly nor is there awareness about why -- both the coup

13:11 Techrights-sec; to take over FOSS and the protection of Bill

13:11 schestowitz-TR; it was not just harmful to Rock but to the image of black people

13:12 schestowitz-TR; the White Supremacists benefited a lot

13:12 schestowitz-TR; like "see, they don't belong in this class..."

13:12 schestowitz-TR; the coup and the distraction are not over

13:12 schestowitz-TR; they are still work in progress 3 years on

13:13 Techrights-sec; :(

13:13 Techrights-sec; There were some fediverse posts about HN takeovers too

13:13 Techrights-sec; but social control media in any form is just hearsay

13:13 schestowitz-TR; HN is already taken over by bad actor s(y combinator)

13:14 schestowitz-TR; and is rather useless

13:14 schestowitz-TR; I don't know why anyone would wish get news through that site

13:16 Techrights-sec; I don't. However, I did see one of the former principals' posts complaining

13:16 Techrights-sec; about it but even he did not see what kind of takeover it was and was still

13:16 Techrights-sec; taking it personally

13:16 Techrights-sec; He was naively, like I often do myself, considering things to be technical

13:16 Techrights-sec; rather than the ICt being a menas of power and political control

13:18 schestowitz-TR; we still talk about HN, right?

13:18 schestowitz-TR; (me puts some roast on; bought 7 packs today, different varities/blends)

13:18 schestowitz-TR; to be clearm, HN does bring a lot of traffic

13:18 schestowitz-TR; potenbtially a million hits in a day

13:18 schestowitz-TR; a lot more than any other site, inc. slashdot, where # of comments can mislead somewhat

13:22 Techrights-sec; yes

13:22 Techrights-sec; I don't read HN since it is a garbage site with enforced anti-FOSS bias and

13:22 Techrights-sec; filters

13:22 Techrights-sec; Oh, it is widely read by others, to be sure, but that does not mean it is

13:22 Techrights-sec; a clean site nor unproblematic

13:27 schestowitz-TR; I'll say something foolish on the surface

13:27 schestowitz-TR; there is unwanted or impure traffic

13:27 schestowitz-TR; traffic for the sake of traffic is a bad measure

13:27 schestowitz-TR; there is wanted attention

13:28 schestowitz-TR; and unwanted (Smityh, Reiser... not the same thing, I know)

13:28 schestowitz-TR; Twitter did bring some unwanted attention

13:28 schestowitz-TR; I wrote about it 2 years ago in relation to cancel culture

13:28 schestowitz-TR; they can gang up on people (lawn too for that matter) to stigmatise them

13:28 schestowitz-TR; with labels and all

13:28 schestowitz-TR; I don't want to name examples, but we both know of some

13:28 schestowitz-TR; once you get labeled, behind your back or without your oinvolvement (being ON the platform can worsen things)

13:28 schestowitz-TR; it's hard to shake it off

13:28 schestowitz-TR; if you are not in the platform, it's in absentia

13:28 schestowitz-TR; if you're on there, you can be tagged and then expected to reply

13:28 schestowitz-TR; and a lack of reply too is a reply

13:28 schestowitz-TR; the original UPC complainanty kept his distance

13:28 schestowitz-TR; no public speaking, just his personal site, PDF form publications,

13:28 schestowitz-TR; and submissions to courts

13:28 schestowitz-TR; but occasionally speaking behind the scenes to journalists

13:28 schestowitz-TR; when confronting rogue people in LARGE NUMBER with CURATED platform you cannot win

13:28 schestowitz-TR; it's designed from the onset like that

13:28 schestowitz-TR; so you are doomed to "lose"

13:28 Techrights-sec; yes brigading as it is called is part of the cultre there and in social control

13:28 Techrights-sec; media in general

13:28 Techrights-sec; https://youtu.be/zrzMhU_4m-g

↺ https://youtu.be/zrzMhU_4m-g

13:28 Techrights-sec; curation is a euphemism for maniupulation most of the time

↺ https://inv.riverside.rocks/watch?v=zrzMhU_4m-g

13:28 -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell--> inv.riverside.rocks | She's a witch! - Invidious

13:28 Techrights-sec; avilable and it gives a false impression of sentiments being other than they

13:28 Techrights-sec; are

13:30 schestowitz-TR; there is also digital 'doping'

13:30 schestowitz-TR; where you do things to drive up numbers

13:30 schestowitz-TR; in the short term

13:30 schestowitz-TR; at high personal expense

13:30 schestowitz-TR; like publishing untrue things

13:34 Techrights-sec; yes

13:35 schestowitz-TR; right now billbc is doping

13:35 schestowitz-TR; right now leah is doiping, for the third time around

13:35 schestowitz-TR; lunduke is a serial doper

13:35 schestowitz-TR; like saying he'd quit twitter so many times

13:35 schestowitz-TR; (he's probably still there)

13:37 schestowitz-TR; last night I told rianne as I was scrolling down phoronix

13:37 schestowitz-TR; that number of comments had declined a lot

13:37 schestowitz-TR; it's the only way for me to estimate traffic

13:37 schestowitz-TR; months ago he started to included a picture in every post

13:37 schestowitz-TR; as if to price up the site and retain the readers

13:38 schestowitz-TR; just by means as superficials as these

13:38 schestowitz-TR; linutoday also experimented with images a few times

13:38 schestowitz-TR; today (see IRC logs) someone asked me to make a copy of the image

13:38 schestowitz-TR; in TM

13:38 schestowitz-TR; instead of HotLinking

13:38 schestowitz-TR; not sure if it made it before the midnight cutoff

13:38 schestowitz-TR; with TM it's fast because we don't copy files

13:38 schestowitz-TR; after a few days few will still access these pages anyway

13:38 Techrights-sec; pictures waste bandwidth and add nothing unless the contain supplementary

13:38 Techrights-sec; information and even then they need to be described directly or indirectly

13:38 Techrights-sec; in the text, not just ALT attributes

13:39 schestowitz-TR; I will record re epo when I'm done doing the daily links

13:40 schestowitz-TR; i think that team upc anmd others are going to get in a lot of trouble

13:40 schestowitz-TR; but they do so mostly at the expense of the eu

13:40 schestowitz-TR; so they take down with them something bigger

13:40 schestowitz-TR; which is unfair

13:40 schestowitz-TR; abortion is like 30% of all US news now

13:42 Techrights-sec; Hotlining is *always* a bad idea

13:42 Techrights-sec; ^hotlinking

13:42 Techrights-sec; yes, thanks to the committee that brought in reagan

13:42 Techrights-sec; they distract from other health care issues to prevent any meaningful discussion

13:42 Techrights-sec; of the big picture

13:42 Techrights-sec; the reagan committee also paid kidnappers to hold hostages longer than necessary

13:42 Techrights-sec; committee is not quite the right word

13:42 Techrights-sec; not scotus but reagan

13:42 schestowitz-TR; covid and ukraine wars are over

14:15 schestowitz-TR; some trans person knocks on door

14:15 schestowitz-TR; "csn I speak to roy?"

14:15 schestowitz-TR; I'm here in the dining room

14:15 schestowitz-TR; obviously it's someone visiting about the election

14:15 schestowitz-TR; "I already voted"

14:15 schestowitz-TR; rianne: he wants to know how you voted

14:15 schestowitz-TR; me: I keep it personal

14:15 schestowitz-TR; (I didn't know it was trans until he left and rianne told me)

14:15 schestowitz-TR; so for weeks we get tons of junk mail

14:15 schestowitz-TR; for campaigns

14:15 schestowitz-TR; and now they come knocking like dehovah witnesses

14:15 schestowitz-TR; maybe even worse than last year

14:15 schestowitz-TR; I didn't see the face of anything, but as soon as the knocking started I guessed it

14:15 schestowitz-TR; was election-related nag

14:15 schestowitz-TR; I think asking me how I voted is too nosy

14:15 schestowitz-TR; even if it was "exit poll"

14:15 schestowitz-TR; plus: we still have a virus passing through millions, I want to minimise exposure to people

14:15 schestowitz-TR; for the time being

14:16 Techrights-sec; definitely

14:16 Techrights-sec; and who knows where they are really from

14:19 schestowitz-TR; rianne and I talk about it at the moment

14:19 schestowitz-TR; she mentions how some are paid by parties to survey people

14:19 schestowitz-TR; I joke "it could be a spy even... LOL"

14:19 schestowitz-TR; ransom person passing by asking to speak to me and, failign that, asking how I vote"

14:19 schestowitz-TR; '

14:19 schestowitz-TR; with my first name on paper

14:19 schestowitz-TR; I don't know election rules, but in recent years even the junk mail was very undesirable

14:19 schestowitz-TR; never mind dooor visits

14:19 schestowitz-TR; those can wake a person up

14:19 schestowitz-TR; or be a false alarm

14:20 Techrights-sec; one can work days and hardly ever get an interruption at the door, but working

14:20 Techrights-sec; nights it can often seem like there is a queue in the hallway waiting to

14:20 Techrights-sec; bother the doorbell or knock

14:23 schestowitz-TR; rianne works weekeend basically, I do nights

14:24 schestowitz-TR; next week we'll do the "meeting" (Meet)

14:24 schestowitz-TR; Gulag I assume

14:24 schestowitz-TR; See what they have to offer and decide

14:24 schestowitz-TR; We already discuss other things we can do, since last week in fact

14:24 schestowitz-TR; TM and TR are run very efficiently, I could spare some time to earn the basics

14:48 schestowitz-TR; next thurs. on Gulag meet (yes, proprietary; I might even point that out on the call!)

14:48 schestowitz-TR; we'll see what's on offer and decide whether to take or or leave it... or outright leave

14:48 Techrights-sec; I hope the meeting goes well. BigBlueButton would be another option, it

14:48 Techrights-sec; is better than googemeet and zoom. Maybe it is easy to host on a RPI these

14:48 Techrights-sec; days.

14:54 schestowitz-TR; the probability of leaving is high because even a week ago we spoke about quitting

14:54 schestowitz-TR; before even knowing of any plans, that was just a coincidence

14:54 schestowitz-TR; because rianne was very unhappy about the embrace of Gulag Voice

14:54 schestowitz-TR; which mostly causes stress as it's not reliable liker Asterisk

14:54 schestowitz-TR; and we're not properly listened to, the decisions are not being made

14:54 schestowitz-TR; transparently

14:54 Techrights-sec; ack

14:59 schestowitz-TR; sorry for the ramble etc. I probably won't make the final decision on the spot. 3 people

14:59 schestowitz-TR; whom I spoke to all same more or less the same, but if I cannot keep this very easy job

14:59 schestowitz-TR; or keep this job very simple, it's time to move

14:59 schestowitz-TR; Outsourcing is part of the ongoing journey towards misery or the 'EFF effect'

14:59 schestowitz-TR; so rianne and I knew it would not last forever, even just days before it finally

14:59 schestowitz-TR; materialised, I believe for totally unrelated reasons

14:59 schestowitz-TR; one element here is also pride and principle; some of these clients I outright refuse to work for

14:59 schestowitz-TR; (like passing to a colleague) and it compromises my belief

14:59 schestowitz-TR; like RMS asking people to do things for him

14:59 Techrights-sec; yes


3 PM, May 5

15:00 schestowitz-TR; (of note: it's one of the reasons if not THE reason LXO quit ICBM... I think he didn't like them

15:00 schestowitz-TR; imposing clown things on Red Hat staff)

15:02 schestowitz-TR; /me mentally drafts a post like "Leaving My Job to Do Techrighs Full Time" and explaining

15:02 schestowitz-TR; the rationale and ramifications

15:09 Techrights-sec; again I would suggest setting up a tip jar of sorts at patreon or strip or both

15:09 Techrights-sec; ^stripe

15:09 schestowitz-TR; to be clear, I can point out that all the site's producitity was done for 10 years ith 36-hour-per-week job

15:09 schestowitz-TR; on the side

15:09 schestowitz-TR; but if I take money from readers there might be expectations and demand

15:09 schestowitz-TR; like iam dawe in GoL and Larabel at Phoronix

15:09 schestowitz-TR; that pressure if not healthy, rianne often jokes about Larabel having to write to please

15:09 schestowitz-TR; the sponsors

15:10 Techrights-sec; yes he does, but a tip jar is less pressure and none if one is up front

15:10 Techrights-sec; about goals (or am I too naive in that regard?)

15:12 schestowitz-TR; I can certainly give that a go, but no sooner than 7 days from now when I figure out the situation

15:12 schestowitz-TR; and 'translate' the "BS talk" (they're rarely honest with us, one need to read between the lines)

15:12 schestowitz-TR; I am guesing they wish to keep us with another set of tasks. I.e. much higher output. We've long

15:12 schestowitz-TR; been stagnant in NOC, which was good for us... but the outsourcing was mostly a desperate

15:12 schestowitz-TR; measure to cut costs

15:12 -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-docs.bigbluebutton.org | BigBlueButton : Install

15:12 Techrights-sec; BBB is Docker :( :( :(

15:13 schestowitz-TR; Docker means "too compplicated to install, we could not bother to make it easier"

15:13 schestowitz-TR; Ubuntu means "can't install Debian" (true if you have nasty firmware, IME)

15:14 Techrights-sec; ack

15:14 Techrights-sec; yep and full of cruft at that

15:14 Techrights-sec; it means they could not bother even a little

15:14 Techrights-sec; it's basically proprietary software; I had mistaken it for FOSS

15:19 schestowitz-TR; funny story and relevant

15:19 schestowitz-TR; last year or in 2020 the company asked us to study docker and kubernetes

15:19 schestowitz-TR; and sent us links, courses etc.

15:19 schestowitz-TR; rianne even installed the darn thing on her laptop, with 4gb of ram, to tinker

15:19 schestowitz-TR; I cautioned her against it

15:19 schestowitz-TR; later she would also add flatpak and snap

15:19 schestowitz-TR; which are persistent as services

15:20 schestowitz-TR; but never mind that

15:20 schestowitz-TR; the point is, we reckon the company false claimed to possible clients that we had

15:20 schestowitz-TR; the skills ane xperience

15:20 schestowitz-TR; and post-hoc asdked us to study that (they did the same with ansible and kafka)

15:20 schestowitz-TR; I did install kafka on my laptop at one point

15:20 schestowitz-TR; IIRC, kafma started in LinkedIn (before Microsoft) and is now apache

15:20 schestowitz-TR; anyhow, I do know a bit of docker

15:20 schestowitz-TR; it's not impressive, it just assumes infinite resources and while prmising to lower

15:20 schestowitz-TR; complexity it makes things less elegant

15:20 schestowitz-TR; throwing cruft and redundancy at things to compensate for bad design

15:20 schestowitz-TR; flatpak leads to many of the same things being on the same system

15:20 schestowitz-TR; even multiple version of the same thing

15:20 schestowitz-TR; debian was (originally) about shared libraries ands meapackages sorting out the made of deps

15:20 schestowitz-TR; appimages, docker, and sll the rest are a departure from ths appaorahc

15:20 schestowitz-TR; out of laziness

15:20 schestowitz-TR; like the "apps" "ecosystem"

15:20 schestowitz-TR; but nowadays it's noy CS lecturers dictating trends

15:20 schestowitz-TR; but "economists"a and marketing people, who ship as soon as something "runs"

15:20 schestowitz-TR; never mind if it has 64k ports open

15:20 schestowitz-TR; and if it barely works

15:20 schestowitz-TR; it's economics to them, not science

15:20 schestowitz-TR; the EPO syndrome :-

15:20 schestowitz-TR; "if it makes more moneyh,, DO IT!"

15:20 Techrights-sec; yes

15:20 Techrights-sec; yes, that schools have become followers and not leaders basically means

15:20 Techrights-sec; that society has ended up chasing its own tail in every tightening circles

15:20 Techrights-sec; with no progress forward; a death spiral of extraction as the schools are mined

15:20 Techrights-sec; if it makes more money -- this quarter -- do it!"""

15:23 schestowitz-TR; far-fetched analogy

15:23 schestowitz-TR; but this is why COVID-19 is so widepsread and normalised

15:23 schestowitz-TR; wars all the time(now ukraine, still a total mayhem)

15:23 schestowitz-TR; and poor health [sic] care [sic] not just in the US

15:23 schestowitz-TR; but the media is all about abortion rights at the moment

15:23 schestowitz-TR; (it's a big problem, but they turned it into POLITICS!!!)

15:23 schestowitz-TR; it's not a political issue

15:23 schestowitz-TR; it's "cheaper" to let old people die and younger ones to be crippled

15:23 schestowitz-TR; than to accept lockdowns are better, NZ did that

15:23 schestowitz-TR; we're an island like NZ

15:24 Techrights-sec; yes red herrings work to draw people away from matters of substance

15:24 Techrights-sec; or more accurately away from the /real/ core issues

15:24 Techrights-sec; Everything is being politicized these days

15:33 schestowitz-TR; of note: seveal times when I was 38 or 29 I thought of

15:33 schestowitz-TR; or 29

15:33 schestowitz-TR; *or 39

15:33 schestowitz-TR; I thought I should consider taking a break from work at 40

15:33 schestowitz-TR; I've worked since around 14

15:33 schestowitz-TR; I have some latex memoes where I had the listing of jobs, dates

15:33 schestowitz-TR; I have many of these rough 'memoirs'

15:33 schestowitz-TR; as memories fade and in one old job a had lots of time at "the office"

15:33 schestowitz-TR; withoiut much to do

15:33 schestowitz-TR; so I was typing a lot in LyX and sometimes directly in raw latex

15:33 schestowitz-TR; later years also in palm pda with keyboard

15:33 schestowitz-TR; the idea of working from 14 until 67 does not appeal to me

15:33 schestowitz-TR; nobody can even gurantee one can live till that age, either

15:33 schestowitz-TR; the economy is ina bad state

15:33 schestowitz-TR; and to me that is not an argument for working more or harder

15:33 schestowitz-TR; rather than taking a pause, applicable since cira 2008

15:33 schestowitz-TR; |*crica

15:33 schestowitz-TR; *circa

15:33 schestowitz-TR; *life is too shortr to proofread unless it's for a large audicnece ;-)

15:38 Techrights-sec; ack

15:38 Techrights-sec; quiterss is useful but very slow and CPU intensive, it sometimes hangs too

15:38 schestowitz-TR; /me looks at quiterss, not much of substance there

15:38 schestowitz-TR; rianne finioshed her pass, she did not find much either

15:38 schestowitz-TR; with less mind pollution from work I could think more clearly of topics to cover

15:38 schestowitz-TR; and work out of the way means more time flexibility

15:38 schestowitz-TR; quite rss is still a lot better than thunderbird after mozilla killed off lots of extensions

15:38 schestowitz-TR; including thunderbrowse, which I had used for years

15:38 schestowitz-TR; thunderbird only got worse for me, but for email the alternatives are abandoned

15:38 schestowitz-TR; as if the concept of making a decent mail client is like building a BBS client

15:38 schestowitz-TR; or USENET client... even IRC clients are still being developed

15:38 schestowitz-TR; but the challenge associated with them is of less complexity then treating WEB PAGES

15:38 schestowitz-TR; as "messages"

15:38 schestowitz-TR; apropos, for techrights-sec I always usequassel, which, seeing the features it is,

15:38 schestowitz-TR; has leapt passed konversation

15:38 schestowitz-TR; but I am too accustomed to konversation

15:38 schestowitz-TR; *leapt past

15:38 schestowitz-TR; *quassel

15:38 schestowitz-TR; I tried it about 12 years ago when Omar in IRC suggested trying it

15:38 schestowitz-TR; it has improved since

15:39 schestowitz-TR; Omar was a Palestinian living in Lebanon

15:39 Techrights-sec; I wish that applications would focus on one thing and do that one thing well

15:39 Techrights-sec; I see no need for a browser or RSSin a mail client

15:39 Techrights-sec; both quassel and konversation are quite good but quite different

15:39 Techrights-sec; ack

15:39 *wallacer has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s)

15:40 *wallacer (~quassel@6bsu33ajs4zs4.irc) has joined #boycottnovell

15:44 schestowitz-TR; quassel has in ti the functionality I 'implemented' in bash, to track multiple channels in one place

15:44 schestowitz-TR; afaik, konversation still lacks that

15:44 schestowitz-TR; but my bash thing is more flexible, so it has been extended a bit, in ways I cannot do with bolted in GUI

15:44 schestowitz-TR; re html and mail, don't forget that some 'mail' clients no longer send text

15:44 schestowitz-TR; kaniini complained introducing people to some thing like REAL git (over email) was

15:44 schestowitz-TR; not possible because they thooughht email=web page

15:44 schestowitz-TR; and their "apps" insisted so

15:44 schestowitz-TR; so nowadays thunderbird can ave a ton of holes (EFF with "fmail" was AFTER barlow died...

15:44 schestowitz-TR; EFF keeps bashing PGP... a lot... to promote hipster SHITE)

15:44 schestowitz-TR; as Firefox grows and grows so does thunderbird

15:44 schestowitz-TR; a lot of tyhe trouble is a consequence of tossing gecko into a MAIL client

15:44 schestowitz-TR; and if you tuned off that "bit", then thunderbird would hardly need patches

15:44 schestowitz-TR; I've lost count of how many very fine extensions I once had in thunderbird

15:44 schestowitz-TR; they killed off almost all of them

15:44 schestowitz-TR; same in firefox

15:45 schestowitz-TR; cutting one's own legs and arms for "aerodynamics"

15:45 schestowitz-TR; (runners can run even faster if they surgically remove their ears... or breasts in women's case)

15:47 Techrights-sec; I know, I've started to see that. Also people who are limited to webmail clients are easy victims for phishing, sp

15:47 Techrights-sec; earphishing, and even clickless attacks

15:47 Techrights-sec; Perhaps therre is a conflict of interest among EFF staff that they are

15:47 Techrights-sec; trying to undermine privacy and integrity

15:47 Techrights-sec; yes firefox used to be simple and extensible

15:47 Techrights-sec; there were articles from several unrelated authors about the near impossible

15:47 Techrights-sec; situation GAFAM has created out of the web; it's not possible any more to

15:47 Techrights-sec; start developing a new web browser due to all the cruft and gratuitious

15:47 Techrights-sec; complexity;

15:47 Techrights-sec; I'd like to see a generic XML browser that has style sheets for HTML and other

15:48 Techrights-sec; markup languages

15:49 schestowitz-TR; netsurf is nice, but it would not work with "modern" sites or barely work with them

15:49 schestowitz-TR; afaict, it works nicely in fsf, gnu, tuxmachines, TR

15:49 schestowitz-TR; I did not check much beyond that, except schestowitz.com

15:49 schestowitz-TR; those were build for browsing in the IE6 era

15:49 schestowitz-TR; when the web became very, very stagnenant

15:49 schestowitz-TR; had become rather

15:49 schestowitz-TR; until Firefox came and grew

15:49 schestowitz-TR; www (protocols) and html* (formats, too) have since then became a lot more complex than even ooxml

15:49 schestowitz-TR; but nobody wants to say that

15:49 schestowitz-TR; and we are back to the era of "this works only with x yz browser"

15:49 schestowitz-TR; where it's likely all except firefox are the same codebase

15:50 Techrights-sec; yes we are clearly back in that era. strang that marketeetrs actively throw

15:50 Techrights-sec; away market share in order to pursue pernicious ideologies and not build things

15:50 Techrights-sec; or grow market shar

15:50 Techrights-sec; it's 1996 all over again

15:54 schestowitz-TR; very different in the technical sense due to scale

15:54 schestowitz-TR; bendali says firefrox and chrome are 30+ million LOCs

15:54 schestowitz-TR; he knows cause he builds off of them

15:54 schestowitz-TR; and I reckon he has a fell for which portions are essential

15:54 schestowitz-TR; with "workers" and other crap thrown into the browser (EME is binary blob) it's no longer

15:54 schestowitz-TR; just gecko, there are other moving parts inside the machine

15:54 schestowitz-TR; dealing with states and stuff like notifications (OS-level hooks)

15:54 schestowitz-TR; Even VirtualBox does not seem to have that much access

15:54 schestowitz-TR; this is to the OS what WINE, not a VM, is to an OS

15:54 schestowitz-TR; or maybe WSL

15:54 schestowitz-TR; WSL is failing, it's a niche toy and Microsoft seems to have limited the amount of money wasted

15:54 schestowitz-TR; on 1) developing it 2) marketing it

15:55 Techrights-sec; ... except now the browser are being used as virtual machines to run

15:55 Techrights-sec; programs of undetermined provenance and proprietary at that

15:55 Techrights-sec; ack


4 PM, May 5

16:00 schestowitz-TR; to whit, fgulag meet

16:00 schestowitz-TR; I didn't even know what it was

16:00 schestowitz-TR; rianne asked me to check

16:00 schestowitz-TR; I was guessing it's what gulag calls hangover [sic] now

16:00 schestowitz-TR; after canning "Hangouts"

16:00 schestowitz-TR; they also killed off Gulag Voice

16:01 schestowitz-TR; now it's "new experience"

16:01 schestowitz-TR; i.e. they removed some key features like "direct to landline"

16:01 schestowitz-TR; which is how rianne took calls off it

16:01 schestowitz-TR; each timew you log it there is a different version running

16:01 schestowitz-TR; it's a program of unknown integrity

16:01 schestowitz-TR; running off your machine

16:01 schestowitz-TR; but sent over to you by some unknown, NSA-connected entity

16:01 schestowitz-TR; in another continent

16:01 schestowitz-TR; all this just to implement simple chat

16:01 schestowitz-TR; I did this back in the 1990s with 14k baud modem

16:01 schestowitz-TR; just occurred to me, if NSA targets you, gulag will send a tailor-made version

16:01 schestowitz-TR; of gulag hangover/voice/meat [sic] to you

16:01 schestowitz-TR; with lots of juicy things

16:01 schestowitz-TR; now that browsers can access anything on your machine and the network

16:01 schestowitz-TR; you would not see cxhecksums of the program your browser is executing

16:01 schestowitz-TR; and gulag doe snot support any browser not controlled at least partly by gulag for its

16:01 schestowitz-TR; disservices

16:01 schestowitz-TR; so it is in control of "both sides of the transaction"

16:01 schestowitz-TR; the program it sends to you

16:01 schestowitz-TR; and the shandbox which executes it

16:01 Techrights-sec; yep

16:01 Techrights-sec; yep or any number of other things, including javascript in the browser aas

16:01 Techrights-sec; a steping stone to larger intrusions if nothing else

16:12 schestowitz-TR; if I make up free time, I can improve a lot of things in git (over gemini), irc, gemini, and of course the site

16:12 schestowitz-TR; which needs modernising only at the back end

16:13 schestowitz-TR; it's good that we don't rely on just one protocol and everything is consolidated (no social

16:13 schestowitz-TR; controm media inc. for video)

16:13 schestowitz-TR; whichj limits the amount of time-wasting and risk

16:13 schestowitz-TR; I will convey these ideas to rianne later

16:13 schestowitz-TR; I have a feeling the new offer they give us won't be good enough and we will leave in good terms

16:13 schestowitz-TR; as I said a week ago, I had no intention ofm seeking alternative employment

16:13 schestowitz-TR; another option might be, agree to do 1-2 days a week, just to keep financially neutral and a foot inside the

16:13 Techrights-sec; ok

16:22 Techrights-sec; ack

16:22 Techrights-sec; In the automated links or the manual links?

16:22 schestowitz-TR; in was just about to add:

16:22 schestowitz-TR; the abortion stuff isn't the cujrated bit

16:22 schestowitz-TR; but the sites we have "left" in the program are decent

16:22 schestowitz-TR; and do not over-politicise this issue

16:22 schestowitz-TR; they rightly present this as a women's (primarily) matter

16:22 schestowitz-TR; and how the corporate system with scotus fails them

16:22 schestowitz-TR; (typically when I add those they go near the top of categories not due to preferences

16:22 schestowitz-TR; but practical reasons of finding the category name)

16:22 schestowitz-TR; so "first" means "ltest added"

16:24 Techrights-sec; ok

16:24 Techrights-sec; ack

16:24 schestowitz-TR; I wanmted to point this out many times before

16:24 schestowitz-TR; it really ought to be the opposite, i.e. curated first, then the rest

16:24 schestowitz-TR; but in practice that means a lot of scrolling

16:24 schestowitz-TR; (my mouse has poor scrolling, but it gets by)

16:24 Techrights-sec; I can look into the order but I thought the automated links came after the

16:24 Techrights-sec; curated links

16:26 schestowitz-TR; yes, but when they're added it's reverse-chrom

16:26 schestowitz-TR; popping on top of the stack when searching for the category name, then dropping it on top

16:26 schestowitz-TR; after added the items on top of the "merged" file

16:26 schestowitz-TR; one possible "fix" is to first do automate, then curated added at the top

16:26 schestowitz-TR; another is, always scroll down to the bottom

16:26 schestowitz-TR; but that's like 100-200 times per day

16:27 Techrights-sec; Ok I'll look into fixing the sequencing, it may take a day or so

16:27 Techrights-sec; I just have to see which script is reversing the sequence, if that is what's

16:27 Techrights-sec; happening.

16:28 schestowitz-TR; that is more of my workflow issue, not the program

16:28 schestowitz-TR; namely, it is faster to search for the heading of the category, then place the cursor below <ul>

16:28 schestowitz-TR; than to find the bottom of the blocks of stories, then place the cussor there

16:33 Techrights-sec; at the top and the automated links trailing them

16:35 schestowitz-TR; the workflow is the issue, not the file

16:35 schestowitz-TR; I start at the top, adding them in order

16:35 schestowitz-TR; then, later, I assemble the unsorted lot, but adding those to top of their parent node, rather than bottom, as find

16:35 schestowitz-TR; ing the bottom typically means scrolling down a lot
