03:45 schestowitz-TR2; I am going to post a link or list of links to invidious instances
03:45 -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-invidious.snopyta.org | Ramble About Software Patents and Their Harms - Part 3 - Invidious
03:45 schestowitz-TR2; we ought to encourage their use
04:02 Techrights-sec; I have not looked at Invidious before. Odysee needs an account to be useful
04:02 Techrights-sec; and the javascript burden there is egregious. The account is needed because
04:02 Techrights-sec; the signal to noise ratio is so poor that you have to spend a /very/ long time
04:02 Techrights-sec; blocking accounts. There is really good material in Odysee but it is otherwise
04:02 Techrights-sec; completely drowned out in utter garbage and even disinformation and
04:02 Techrights-sec; propaganda style disinformation.
04:03 schestowitz-TR2; I am going to post a link or list of links to invidious instances
04:03 schestowitz-TR2; we ought to encourage their use
04:03 schestowitz-TR2; btw, earlier today I was going to type something herere
04:03 schestowitz-TR2; but decided not to
04:03 schestowitz-TR2; it was not important, I don't remember what it was anymore
04:03 schestowitz-TR2; but I did not want to oiverwhelm you upon wake-up
04:03 schestowitz-TR2; as you can see, I'm posting more than usual this weekend
04:03 schestowitz-TR2; as a result of not wasting time on "social" crap
04:09 Techrights-sec; Yeah there's not much of a buffer, about 24 lines or so.
04:09 Techrights-sec; :(
04:09 Techrights-sec; Their web skills are awful and that is compounded by their abuse of javascript
04:09 Techrights-sec; for even the smallest thing.
04:09 schestowitz-TR2; i am going to try odysee at random
04:09 schestowitz-TR2; see how laughable it gets
04:09 schestowitz-TR2; i see youtube style clickbait-oiptimised front page
04:09 schestowitz-TR2; sex, putin, cults like musk, cover photos designed to get clicks
04:09 schestowitz-TR2; btw i did saome testing of ipfs
04:09 schestowitz-TR2; it still works, but for large files like bulletins we get capped a bit by network capacity
04:09 schestowitz-TR2; I did nnot click anything in odysee
04:09 schestowitz-TR2; it's like twitter with mutimedia as medium
04:09 schestowitz-TR2; annd has no items of mental iinput
04:09 schestowitz-TR2; heck, they promote some thing where a women sells jarred farts
04:09 schestowitz-TR2; did not click
04:09 schestowitz-TR2; this is stuff they promte
04:13 Techrights-sec; Like I wrote, they have a lot of garbage. If Invidious is much better, then
04:13 Techrights-sec; maybe it is worth investigating.
04:13 Techrights-sec; Oh. Then it;s filtered garbage anyway.
04:13 Techrights-sec; ack
04:13 schestowitz-TR2; the way I understand it, invidious is just a relay for gulagtube and can also prox the
04:13 schestowitz-TR2; traffic
04:13 schestowitz-TR2; but... for some instances you ghave them curate promotes videos
04:13 schestowitz-TR2; based on some theme
04:13 schestowitz-TR2; e.g. anime for japanese
04:13 schestowitz-TR2; soime nl instance, finnish instance, tech ones
04:13 schestowitz-TR2; so you can cut through the crap like "recommended
04:13 schestowitz-TR2; and it nevere ever plays any ads
04:13 schestowitz-TR2; when we do workouts we use yewtu.be
04:13 schestowitz-TR2; so the general idea is, let's try to get more people to use it
04:13 schestowitz-TR2; when gulag gets angry it'll try to block it
04:13 schestowitz-TR2; but it'll be hard to block the "bad" or "unwanted" ones
04:13 schestowitz-TR2; without cutting off alksso what gulag sees as "lkegit"

04:51 schestowitz-TR2; if what I wanted help from you earlier
04:51 schestowitz-TR2; was with zoe videos
04:51 schestowitz-TR2; I found something and did it myself at the end
04:52 schestowitz-TR2; but maybe it was another task-like thing I had in my head
04:52 schestowitz-TR2; it doesn't matter
04:52 schestowitz-TR2; as the saying goes
04:52 schestowitz-TR2; if it was really important, I'd have written it down
04:52 schestowitz-TR2; you shall see there is a moral here

05:04 Techrights-sec; RMS and eventually Linus must pass on the reins and assume an advisory role
05:04 Techrights-sec; if only to ensure a smooth transition and a continuation of the values they
05:04 Techrights-sec; founded their respective projects on. Both waited a bit too long and got
05:04 Techrights-sec; sidelined instead. Both can recover (AFAIK) but would have to expend effort.
05:04 Techrights-sec; RMS can advise now, I hope the FSF and GNU are on good footing.
05:04 Techrights-sec; Linux though is in a harder spot with so many microsofters now in high places
05:04 Techrights-sec; A purge is needed there.

12:09 Techrights-sec; 1) depends
12:09 Techrights-sec; It'd be rather good, in some ways, for TM to maintain a presence.
12:09 Techrights-sec; 2) no idea which pod,
12:09 Techrights-sec; I've not followed Diaspora for a long time and no longer have a good overview.
12:09 Techrights-sec; Can mastodon.technology be the 'home base' of TM?
12:09 schestowitz-TR2; I am checking the list
12:09 schestowitz-TR2; will sask you before I do anything
12:09 schestowitz-TR2; to recap, that instance then exports to tumblr, twitter, and from twitter
12:09 schestowitz-TR2; it gets picked up by mastodon.technology
12:09 schestowitz-TR2; asside from irc
12:09 schestowitz-TR2; manstodom does not contain the full histopry of posts

12:48 schestowitz; LOL!
12:48 schestowitz; So they let you export
12:49 schestowitz; but no import support
12:49 schestowitz; so what is the point?
12:49 schestowitz; I need to wait, I guess
12:50 schestowitz; this pod has a total of 99087 posts
12:50 schestowitz; that's about as many as "Linux" (TM) has

12:51 Techrights-sec; So are there any limits on import?
12:53 schestowitz-TR2; I asked last month (the code dev team) about import contraints
12:53 schestowitz-TR2; they said they would sort it out

12:56 Techrights-sec; That's one of the reasons for asking. I'm not sure of the back end but if it is
12:56 Techrights-sec; not efficient in storing the posts, the import might cause a noticeable load
12:56 Techrights-sec; and take time.
12:56 schestowitz-TR2; or, yet worse, damage the site (pod)
12:59 schestowitz-TR2; the export of linux, exc. media, is 38mb of gz'ed file
12:59 schestowitz-TR2; i can imagine schestowitz wouyld be about 300MB at most
12:59 schestowitz-TR2; I wonder, given that many are in the same situation
12:59 schestowitz-TR2; should I now do a video about this?
13:00 Techrights-sec; Not sure, do you have some short-listed English language pods with uptodate
13:00 Techrights-sec; software and reliable admins? It would have to be clear that there are other
13:00 Techrights-sec; good pods out there, too.
13:00 Techrights-sec; not just the ones on the shortlist.
13:02 schestowitz-TR2; just explainng the situation for what it is can help
13:02 schestowitz-TR2; as I saw some baffled users
13:02 schestowitz-TR2; asking what to do with the data they have exported
13:02 schestowitz-TR2; I have some things to say about the direction of the project too
13:02 schestowitz-TR2; like the shutdowns
13:02 schestowitz-TR2; but it won't be so flattering to the hard-working devs
13:02 schestowitz-TR2; for that reason alone I prefere to keep silent for now
13:14 schestowitz-TR2; mastodon toook out much of the wind from diaspor'a sails, I think
13:14 schestowitz-TR2; the official site for The Federation, which is looking for a new maintainer, sya
13:14 schestowitz-TR2; that acroos ALL platforms there are 6000 million posts
13:14 schestowitz-TR2; pleroma now has over 1000 nodes
13:14 schestowitz-TR2; diaspora 171
13:14 schestowitz-TR2; total posts 7.3 million
13:14 schestowitz-TR2; almost 10% of them are mine
13:14 schestowitz-TR2; linux and glynmoody also have lots
13:15 Techrights-sec; Yes, best not to point out that some are in a hard spot.
13:15 Techrights-sec; So maybe best to skip a video on the topic for now. I'm sure there will be some
13:15 Techrights-sec; obvious things to say pubicly once a pod has been selected and an agreement
13:15 Techrights-sec; reached.
13:23 psydroid2; I think there could/should be a tuxmachines Diaspora instance if you really want to maintain a presence on Diaspora
13:23 psydroid2; but I don't think it's worth it in terms of resources and maintenance
13:26 psydroid2; maybe Diaspora isn't even the best implementation of such a social network anymore
13:27 psydroid2; I think what is important is the data and the options to connect to people, but the exact codebase doesn't need to be preserved
13:27 psydroid2; especially if it it's far from optimal
13:27 psydroid2; (I'm not familiar with the codebase)
13:45 schestowitz-TR2; i have
13:45 schestowitz-TR2; 1) left a message in diapora to devs (positive) assuring another user (Gary
13:45 schestowitz-TR2; 2) come to realise import will take a long time
13:46 schestowitz-TR2; 3) started connectinmg the new account to external services
13:46 schestowitz-TR2; seems tumblr already broke compat back in november
13:46 schestowitz-TR2; i did not evben notce
13:46 schestowitz-TR2; 500 internal server error
13:46 schestowitz-TR2; such is the nature of working on projects that rely on THIRD-PARTy 'clown;
13:46 schestowitz-TR2; APIs
13:46 schestowitz-TR2; which are of course a moving target
13:46 schestowitz-TR2; you do not get to use "the older versions" of things
13:46 schestowitz-TR2; it's like site ToS
13:46 schestowitz-TR2; you must agree
13:46 schestowitz-TR2; lol wordpress.com compatibility is still broken
13:46 schestowitz-TR2; I think unless you connected it as a servic some time prior to 20917 it could work
13:46 schestowitz-TR2; but not after that
13:46 schestowitz-TR2; fb compat was removed altogether
13:46 schestowitz-TR2; so I now assume I won't be able to connectd @schestowitz account
13:46 schestowitz-TR2; to wordpress.com either
13:46 schestowitz-TR2; only "twitter"
13:46 schestowitz-TR2; this lessens the appeal

13:46 Techrights-sec; Walled gardens actively avoid and prevent interoperability,
13:46 Techrights-sec; ack
13:47 schestowitz-TR2; psydroid2: it would be hard
13:47 schestowitz-TR2; for starters
13:47 schestowitz-TR2; diaspora has export
13:47 schestowitz-TR2; which isn't even reliable
13:47 schestowitz-TR2; and no import
13:47 schestowitz-TR2; so the data cannot travel with you... yet
13:47 schestowitz-TR2; and the underlying complexity is horrendous, I've messed around with the code since a decade back
13:53 psydroid2; I've exported the little data I had in my account, but even the data file in JSON looks complex
13:53 schestowitz-TR2; ok, so I have connected this new account to birdsite and so from that it'll cross over to mastodon as before
13:53 psydroid2; I don't know why all of that is in there
13:53 schestowitz-TR2; no code changes are needed
13:53 schestowitz-TR2; just some configs in kde
13:53 schestowitz-TR2; to keep the window bolted to the right place
13:53 schestowitz-TR2; what was lost: all followers in diaspora
13:53 schestowitz-TR2; though they claim they might be able to port them over in the futurr
13:53 schestowitz-TR2; and access to tumblr was already lost last year
13:53 schestowitz-TR2; tumbler seems to be a toally dead zone
13:53 schestowitz-TR2; iirc, wordpress/automattic took over it
13:54 Techrights-sec; maintenace would be a headache and lots of javascript
13:54 schestowitz-TR2; psydroid2: some british photographer, gary, said the same
13:54 schestowitz-TR2; when he attempted to open his file yesterday
14:06 schestowitz-TR2; ok, so the new instance has some of the very same bugs as the old one
14:06 schestowitz-TR2; otho, tuxmachines in manstodon and in twitter are workking again

14:06 schestowitz-TR2; as does the zero-folloeers account in diaspora
14:06 schestowitz-TR2; tumblr and wordpress killed off compat with diaspora
14:06 schestowitz-TR2; just like facebook had done ages earlier

14:37 schestowitz-TR2; I have just pushed some changed to git
14:37 schestowitz-TR2; 3 services restroed, abeit one out of 1 is without followers
14:37 schestowitz-TR2; so locally orphaned
14:37 schestowitz-TR2; tumblr alrweady died silently last year
14:48 Techrights-sec; looking
14:48 Techrights-sec; ack
14:50 schestowitz-TR2; the internet will be around for the coming decade
14:50 schestowitz-TR2; in spite of putler
14:50 schestowitz-TR2; but I doubt any of the social control media things
14:50 schestowitz-TR2; will still be a think
14:50 schestowitz-TR2; about 5 years ago I was trying to get a picture of what was happening
14:50 schestowitz-TR2; as it seemed htts as a whole was waning
14:50 schestowitz-TR2; because of "apps" and such
14:50 schestowitz-TR2; browsers in 2020: "apps" i.e. JS
14:50 schestowitz-TR2; not www/html , just trnasport layrr for junk
14:51 Techrights-sec; One thing which could make the social control media drag on and on is the
14:51 Techrights-sec; utility that major interest find in its ability to manipulate popular opinion.
14:51 Techrights-sec; It can be kept (and probably is kept) afloat artifically like M$ has been, but
14:51 Techrights-sec; with money and influence only not the cult-like aspects which M$ rides on too.
14:56 schestowitz-TR2; gemini now at 2204 capsules
14:56 schestowitz-TR2; are you still working on code for techrights gemini xml?
14:56 schestowitz-TR2; I think it was last updated (the xml file) about 4 days ago
14:56 schestowitz-TR2; if you have not yet startd aggregator for existing gemini feeds, maybe I can have a go?
15:24 Techrights-sec; I've put the aggregator on pause because of some trouble reading feeds.
15:24 Techrights-sec; The method used is not quite right and results in, for some obscure reason,
15:24 Techrights-sec; data which is not accepted as XML. By all means have a try at it.
15:24 Techrights-sec; Strange that TR's own feed has not updated.
15:29 schestowitz-TR2; what code makes techrights xml file??
15:29 schestowitz-TR2; I can see it is updated now
15:29 schestowitz-TR2; I think it has not yet been pushed to git
15:29 schestowitz-TR2; there are double slashes in url, so probably an easy thing to amend
15:29 Techrights-sec; gemini-make-feed.pl it's in cron via a wrapper script but the cron part fails
15:34 schestowitz-TR2; I have just saved the xml to a file, then opoended it okk
15:34 schestowitz-TR2; in librewolf
15:34 schestowitz-TR2; so I assume this is alreeady working mostly ok
15:34 schestowitz-TR2; should we link to it from the front page under "Feeds"?
15:34 schestowitz-TR2; in amfora, telescope, lagrange and kristall the double slash after year does not cause problems opening the
15:34 schestowitz-TR2; pages, but I think it might split requests for the pages into two
15:35 Techrights-sec; gemini-make-feed-wrapper.sh
15:35 Techrights-sec; adding to Git
15:35 Techrights-sec; pushed
15:37 schestowitz-TR2; looking at the wrapped
15:37 schestowitz-TR2; the perl part is harder for me to digest ;-)
15:37 schestowitz-TR2; because PL isn't a thing I am fluent in at all
15:37 Techrights-sec; not until the cron job is working properly also the double slash can be fixed
15:37 Techrights-sec; Hopefully the perl is clear (enough) to muddle through.
15:39 schestowitz-TR2; you have worked on programs in an area that few explored before, so there are
15:39 schestowitz-TR2; good prospects of others adopting it when they look for ways to build and
15:39 schestowitz-TR2; maintain their capsules
15:39 schestowitz-TR2; some is generalisable
15:39 schestowitz-TR2; but maybe not enoiugh to have a fancy name and "marketing"

15:47 schestowitz; "Still doesn't make this "racism" at worst it is regulatory risk aversion from IBM - your error is expecting that corporations will operate under a moral framework (be it racist or otherwise) corporations are not moral entities - they exist to make a profit and nothing else."

15:52 schestowitz-TR2; sorry if I bother a bit, not intended
15:52 schestowitz-TR2; but it seems exciting that there's this gradual 'diaspora' away
15:52 schestowitz-TR2; from html and maybe away froim JS too
15:52 schestowitz-TR2; even if it starts mostly with geeks
15:52 schestowitz-TR2; gulagtube, being social control media to,
15:52 schestowitz-TR2; and tighting the screws in ways that annoy the users,
15:52 schestowitz-TR2; might also give way
15:52 schestowitz-TR2; eventuaklly I hope people will put down the 'phone'
15:52 schestowitz-TR2; and "apps" will be abandoned along
15:52 schestowitz-TR2; tith their notificatgions "addiction" (not the best term)
15:52 schestowitz-TR2; the fsf missed the baot several times
15:52 schestowitz-TR2; but rms will bring up gemini
15:52 schestowitz-TR2; there are more issues now than just software freedom and
15:52 schestowitz-TR2; software patents
15:53 schestowitz-TR2; some of these were articulated by "diogital vegan"
15:53 Techrights-sec; double slash fix pushed

16:05 schestowitz-TR2; this is equally applicable to twitter, FB, etc.
16:05 schestowitz-TR2; still watching it
16:05 schestowitz-TR2; he goes off the deep end a lot
16:05 schestowitz-TR2; and not good to associate with
16:05 schestowitz-TR2; but having said that, his commentary on sociul control media
16:05 schestowitz-TR2; has long been correcte
16:05 schestowitz-TR2; and he is self-hosting in his own site
16:05 schestowitz-TR2; even the videos
