07:12 schestowitz-TR; today I start the links in the middle

07:12 schestowitz-TR; glad to see CN saying "social control media" in a headline ;-

07:12 schestowitz-TR; ;-)

07:13 schestowitz-TR; *SN

07:15 schestowitz-TR; reading the comments now, they seem decent

07:31 Techrights-sec; excellent

07:31 Techrights-sec; openwashing caught on too

07:32 schestowitz-TR; openwashing caught on too

07:32 Techrights-sec; yes though the act of openwashing does not get called out enough

07:33 schestowitz-TR; I joked in IRC about Microsoft using 1995 abandonware for openwashing in PROPRIETARY shithub

07:33 schestowitz-TR; as the media is dead noboddy in "the media" called them out on it

07:38 Techrights-sec; M$ dumps abandoned code for *tiny* *irrelevant* programs and calls it supporting

07:38 Techrights-sec; Open Source or as the microsofters write it, open-source

07:40 schestowitz-TR; thenthe MSFT-sponsored "media" claps claps cmaps

07:40 schestowitz-TR; looks lik Wall Street is having some reality checks

07:40 schestowitz-TR; Lyft and Uber included

07:40 schestowitz-TR; Many people with high-risk investment are going to lose a lot of money

07:47 Techrights-sec; Uber and Lyft are scams but only on the surface, the main purpose looks to

07:47 Techrights-sec; be to knock whatremains of the bottom out of the labor market. There are now

07:47 Techrights-sec; tons of shit jobs with shit pay and part of the reason for the increase in

07:47 Techrights-sec; both is because of Uber, Lyft, and the other gig-oriented phone apps.

07:47 Techrights-sec; So anyone putting money into gig-oriented companies like Uber and Lyft are not

07:47 Techrights-sec; investing but gambling and the house always wins and the house, in that case,

07:47 Techrights-sec; uses some of its take to further attack the very concept of employment

07:48 schestowitz-TR; ebay barely brings any sales anymore

07:48 schestowitz-TR; I think it might work for very few "large sellers" who know how to "game" the system

07:48 schestowitz-TR; maybe similar to gulagtube after some changes

07:49 Techrights-sec; There are services in town here, which I won't patronize, where not only

07:49 Techrights-sec; are the workers given zero-hour contracts but also have to hire both the

07:49 Techrights-sec; space they use for work and the tools and equipment needed for said work. :(

07:51 schestowitz-TR; rianne and I spoke about car businesses that merely rent their cars

07:51 schestowitz-TR; that was yesterday afternoon

07:51 schestowitz-TR; I told her this industry sickens me and even our gym started merely renting its

07:51 schestowitz-TR; equipmetn

07:51 schestowitz-TR; "as a service"

07:51 schestowitz-TR; plus the maintenance, that's the service...

07:51 schestowitz-TR; IIRC, based on the video I saw after the Ukraine war had erupted

07:51 schestowitz-TR; most arirlines do not even own their planees

07:51 schestowitz-TR; they rent them

07:52 Techrights-sec; youtube does seem to be either on the way out or else in line for some very

07:52 Techrights-sec; major changes, beyond the ad spamming which has been recently inflicted on it

07:52 Techrights-sec; yep that's the kind of problm mentioned above

07:52 Techrights-sec; 2014 or 2022?

07:52 Techrights-sec; THe air travel industry needs a complete makeover including scrapping of most

07:52 Techrights-sec; of the existing fleet

07:57 schestowitz-TR; heh, some classic

07:57 schestowitz-TR; you could say it is virtual ownership

07:57 schestowitz-TR; now it is "as a service"

07:57 schestowitz-TR; "pay as you go"

07:57 schestowitz-TR; many now 'buy' their 'smart' 'phone' as a "plan" or "installman"

07:57 schestowitz-TR; spreading the fees

07:57 schestowitz-TR; so a lot of companies that "sell" things are basically links banks

07:57 schestowitz-TR; giving small loans

07:57 schestowitz-TR; ICBM included. for mainframes

07:57 schestowitz-TR; their clients are like bank clients

07:57 schestowitz-TR; paying monthly fees

07:57 schestowitz-TR; not sure what you meant by 2014 or 2022


8 AM, May 6

08:04 Techrights-sec; the attack on Ukraine

08:04 Techrights-sec; the propaganda part ofthe war started considerably earlier but the

08:04 Techrights-sec; military moved in during 2014 and the EU sat on its hands

08:05 schestowitz-TR; For 4 years there was also a seating US Lukanshnko

08:25 schestowitz-TR; I've just noticed that in today's links, with "automated" part added, something in the format

08:25 schestowitz-TR; change a little

08:25 schestowitz-TR; and some sed 'regex' would not catch what it did before

08:25 schestowitz-TR; can the change be undone?

08:26 Techrights-sec; a <hr /> was added. It can be removed

08:28 schestowitz-TR; maybe tidy then changes the structure of things

08:28 schestowitz-TR; a little bit

08:28 schestowitz-TR; I've compared two files

08:28 schestowitz-TR; there are not empty <p></p<

08:28 schestowitz-TR; inside empty blockquote

08:28 schestowitz-TR; I actually handle these with perl

08:29 Techrights-sec; sed should never be used for HTML or any other XML / SGML derivative anyway

08:29 Techrights-sec; Ah. That is an attempt to clean up the automated links so that all items

08:29 Techrights-sec; have a similar structure regardless of whether they are empty or not.

08:29 Techrights-sec; It is part of tracking down missing descriptions

08:29 Techrights-sec; xmlstarlet is more appropriate than sed in this context

08:30 schestowitz-TR; OK, so it is that thing which led to the 'issue'

08:31 Techrights-sec; yes I think so

08:31 Techrights-sec; line breaks will also ruin sed scripts

08:31 Techrights-sec; xmlstarlet (for shell scripts) or else python or perl , etc

08:31 schestowitz-TR; it was just a dirty hack in perl to automated what I had done manually

08:33 Techrights-sec; perl but with XPath or another proper XML parser? Otherwise the brittlness

08:33 Techrights-sec; will be a pernennial problem.

08:38 Techrights-sec; Which script?

08:38 schestowitz-TR; timeline.sh

08:38 schestowitz-TR; lots of stale stuff in there too

08:38 schestowitz-TR; it's just a bunch of conversions plus other stuff on top

08:38 schestowitz-TR; preprocessng the files

08:42 Techrights-sec; That's got lots of sed

08:43 schestowitz-TR; it is a big pile of tchnical debt

08:43 schestowitz-TR; but not likely to ever be used by anyone but me

08:50 Techrights-sec; you can add a second line to process <blockquote><p> then

08:50 Techrights-sec; or else invest in xmlstarlet

08:53 schestowitz-TR; yeah, I just wondered what had changed

08:53 schestowitz-TR; a lot of the things there should really be commented out as they are

08:53 schestowitz-TR; for social control media and just add i/o overhead

08:53 schestowitz-TR; it's designed luke a thick layer of duct tape

08:53 schestowitz-TR; not even designed

08:58 Techrights-sec; "a week of coding will save an hour of planning"

08:58 Techrights-sec; try git, might need some tuning on your end

11 AM, May 6

11:46 schestowitz-TR; I've push some changes

11:46 schestowitz-TR; The latter change, I think, can save me about 30 secs per day and reduce chances of human

11:46 schestowitz-TR; error

11:46 schestowitz-TR; 30 secsx30 days = ~ 15 mins times 12 months = 3 hours

11:46 schestowitz-TR; I wish I had done this earlier

11:46 schestowitz-TR; I told rianne, the main question is, will this process lastg years?

11:46 schestowitz-TR; if I had known it would, I could save a ton of time

11:47 schestowitz-TR; next thurs have gulag "Meet", I will record it

11:47 Techrights-sec; it pays to periodically refactor and to aim one step ahead

11:47 Techrights-sec; checking git ...

11:51 schestowitz-TR; LOL, Ubuntu LoCo Council has begun deleting the spam or restored from backup

11:52 schestowitz-TR; or both

11:52 schestowitz-TR; today while shaving I watched some kde neon interviews with jriddell

11:52 schestowitz-TR; who was aacked by Shutjtleworth

11:52 schestowitz-TR; beccause I use his distro

11:52 schestowitz-TR; Ubuntu is "opportunist" feeding off Debian

11:52 schestowitz-TR; Daniel P sent me an email

11:52 schestowitz-TR; he will be speaking in a UN event this summer


noon, May 6

12:04 Techrights-sec; ack

12:04 Techrights-sec; very good, do you know in advance the topic he will present to the UN?

12:05 schestowitz-TR; I would have to open thunderbird (massive strain on swap) to check

12:17 Techrights-sec; ack

12:38 schestowitz-TR; today I have some spare time in the sense that I can sense no urgency

12:38 schestowitz-TR; so I will try to tidy up some scripts

12:38 schestowitz-TR; I've also just checked to ensure that the 'expired' SSD, based on mtime,

12:38 schestowitz-TR; does not have something I fear losing

12:38 schestowitz-TR; in case it completely breaks down

12:38 schestowitz-TR; I did the same with 'ted' in 2020

12:38 schestowitz-TR; this one can be dedeemed by a new drive, but I want to get my money's worth off of it

12:38 Techrights-sec; ack

12:38 schestowitz-TR; it does a lot of i/o in video processing

12:38 schestowitz-TR; so maybe it's a good idea to separate that machine from sensitive data

12:39 schestowitz-TR; gemini or Planet Gemini has a new section in it

12:39 schestowitz-TR; I want to improve a few things here and there

12:39 schestowitz-TR; I use that a lot

12:39 schestowitz-TR; searching workpress for "gemini://" I get 522 past posts

↺ gemini://"

12:39 schestowitz-TR; some of them have over a dozen links

12:39 schestowitz-TR; I'd have to run an sql query on wrdps.posts (not revisions) to know the total

12:40 Techrights-sec; what still needed is general support with a proper gemini client packaged

12:40 Techrights-sec; for debian

12:41 schestowitz-TR; Michel packaged one for Fedora (Lagrange), days ago he packaged something for Ubuntu and said

12:41 schestowitz-TR; he would do Debian next

12:41 schestowitz-TR; Give it time, give them user

12:41 schestowitz-TR; the users themselves would sooner or later either package that themselves or ask

12:41 schestowitz-TR; someone to

12:41 schestowitz-TR; Fedora is in a tough place

12:46 Techrights-sec; fedora is mostly IBM staff and the rest only those willing to toe the IBM

12:46 Techrights-sec; line

12:46 Techrights-sec; if I understand the Fedora situation. I don't follow it much

12:48 schestowitz-TR; Yes, me saying this rep;eatedly has not helped the project, but it is true and I'd like

12:48 schestowitz-TR; to see those same volunteers putting the same effort into Arch, Gentoo, Neon etc.

12:48 schestowitz-TR; Fedora is ahead of the surve in some regard, but I think it's mostly a toy

12:48 schestowitz-TR; for IBM to get bug reports before pushing stuff to their crown jewels


1 PM, May 6

13:04 Techrights-sec; yes it looks like a development testbed for RHEL and any deviation from

13:04 Techrights-sec; that goal is squelched

13:08 schestowitz-TR; this longstanding perception has meant Fedora has not many forks or derivs

13:08 schestowitz-TR; but I think there are technical reasons for that too

13:08 schestowitz-TR; GNU/Linux is doing OK, I feel a lot more "at home" now with bleeding edge

13:08 schestowitz-TR; KDE

13:08 schestowitz-TR; but kde neon is not what I would use for a mission-critical system so to speak

13:08 schestowitz-TR; vonick is still my main machine, but the data on it I regard as transient

13:08 schestowitz-TR; even the text files I edit on there are edited over ssh

13:08 schestowitz-TR; I love this approach a great deal as it means that unless two machines are

13:08 schestowitz-TR; down at the same time your work is quite safe

13:08 schestowitz-TR; it's the master/slave approach, but we cannot say this anymore

13:08 schestowitz-TR; the main reason I bought bubi was, thunderbird is big and I don't trust a rotting

13:08 schestowitz-TR; drive with my mail boxes

13:08 schestowitz-TR; vlc on kde neon causes issues, including (I suspect) severe memory leaks

13:33 Techrights-sec; ack

13:56 Techrights-sec; I tried ordering the book "Digital Vegan" via a bookshop in the capitol

13:56 Techrights-sec; but they were not able to get ahold of it. The remaining local bookshop

13:56 Techrights-sec; doesn't take special orders any more so I am not sure of a domestec

13:56 Techrights-sec; source for the book. Ordering from the UK has some prohibitve costs

13:56 Techrights-sec; and bureaucracy attached.


2 PM, May 6

14:02 schestowitz-TR; you can see the Gemini Planet now

14:02 schestowitz-TR; I am still working on the script

14:02 schestowitz-TR; I will try to de-duplicate qith uniq or similar

14:02 schestowitz-TR; I have decided to attempt clustering, not de-duplication

14:02 schestowitz-TR; I think I need imperative programming or OOP for this, with bash scripting it can be hard

14:02 schestowitz-TR; the problem is like this:

14:02 Techrights-sec; ack

14:02 Techrights-sec; looking

14:02 schestowitz-TR; file1 file2 file3

14:02 schestowitz-TR; each has

14:02 schestowitz-TR; # Date

14:02 schestowitz-TR; under each date a list:

14:02 schestowitz-TR; => x

14:02 schestowitz-TR; => y

14:02 schestowitz-TR; =>

14:03 schestowitz-TR; we want a new file, file x, that combined for each date all the items below it

14:03 schestowitz-TR; (a sort of planet of planets)

14:03 schestowitz-TR; one option is, create a file for reach data

14:03 schestowitz-TR; and then spill onto it

14:03 schestowitz-TR; then uniq -u

14:03 schestowitz-TR; then display x latest days

14:03 schestowitz-TR; I think I might do it like that

14:04 Techrights-sec; ok

14:04 Techrights-sec; I was just thinking but don't quite understand the goal so I won't intefere

14:08 schestowitz-TR; I think I can handle it, unless "looking" is no longer applicable?

14:08 schestowitz-TR; one upside is, we are left with a dated archive of a lot of geminispace

14:08 schestowitz-TR; one file per date

14:08 schestowitz-TR; that file can, later on,

14:08 schestowitz-TR; *FILES

14:08 schestowitz-TR; be presented in one page that is an index

14:08 schestowitz-TR; so planet gemini becames like

14:08 Techrights-sec; maybe 'offsite' in the path name?

14:08 schestowitz-TR; Gemini Archive

14:08 schestowitz-TR; come to think of it... let's start with an archive

14:08 schestowitz-TR; then, presenting days {present} to {x days ago}

14:08 schestowitz-TR; is super-simple

14:08 schestowitz-TR; and we get 2 in 1

14:08 schestowitz-TR; what directory to use to not confuse people (assuming wrongly it's techrights archive)?

14:08 schestowitz-TR; gemini:techrights.org/Geminispace-Archive ?

14:08 schestowitz-TR; like Wayback machine except without local copies but just links?

14:08 schestowitz-TR; ok, offsite

14:11 Techrights-sec; or 'outerspace' ?

14:12 schestowitz-TR; some of these are Techrights (we are in some planets) and some are gopher

14:13 Techrights-sec; or 'planets' ?

14:15 schestowitz-TR; to keep it simple it'll only update the file and grow the file for the current day or past 3 days

14:15 schestowitz-TR; then leave alone older ones

14:15 schestowitz-TR; maybe /planet/archive/ ?

14:15 Techrights-sec; or 'othercapsules' ?

14:15 schestowitz-TR; yes, I will do that

14:23 *psydroid2 (~psydroid@memzbmehf99re.irc) has joined #boycottnovell

14:49 Techrights-sec; sed can kind of do that so can AWK

14:49 Techrights-sec; sed -n -e '/spat/,/e[pat/p'

14:49 Techrights-sec; sed -n -e '/spat/,/epat/p'

14:49 Techrights-sec; awk '/spat/,/epat/'

14:49 Techrights-sec; a blank line is /^$/

14:50 schestowitz-TR; can you think of trick to step grep -A NUM until some pattern in a line is found, e.g. a blank line?

14:50 schestowitz-TR; I'm close to doing all this with a one-liner of bash

14:50 schestowitz-TR; need to "delimit" the output before the prior date starts

14:50 schestowitz-TR; I think I know a trick

14:50 schestowitz-TR; do the same for prior day, then subtract the output

14:50 schestowitz-TR; thanks, getting very close now


3 PM, May 6

15:18 Techrights-sec; ack

15:19 schestowitz-TR; done

15:19 schestowitz-TR; testing now

15:19 schestowitz-TR; it is generating and regenrating today's and yesterday's

15:19 schestowitz-TR; as some items can "arrive" a day late

15:19 schestowitz-TR; I will make an index page for the archive

15:32 Techrights-sec; ack

15:34 Techrights-sec; Chris Trottier pointed out on mastodon that

15:34 Techrights-sec; 1. Microsoft paid SCO $14 million in Unix Licenses

15:34 Techrights-sec; 2. SCO debtors had to pay IBM $14,250,000

15:39 schestowitz-TR; Who is this guy and what are the connections other than the similarity in sums so many years apart?

15:39 schestowitz-TR; could be someone saw similar numbers and connected the numbers, like people connecting triange, saucers,

15:39 schestowitz-TR; and other random symbols

15:39 schestowitz-TR; or some creases on the trousers of Lady Obama

15:40 Techrights-sec; no clue

15:40 Techrights-sec; there's no corresponding blog post or article

15:40 Techrights-sec; could be

15:40 Techrights-sec; but the creases have a shape

15:42 schestowitz-TR; yes, but then that becomes an Obama strawman about First Lady literally donning a penis

15:42 schestowitz-TR; and distracts from all sorts of real Obama issues

15:42 schestowitz-TR; in the case of SCO, the payments from Microsoft are not news

15:42 schestowitz-TR; Bruce Pernes wrote about it in Linux.com

16:21 schestowitz-TR; boardmembers - whose?

16:21 schestowitz-TR; that's why I don't like such orgs

16:21 schestowitz-TR; later they also banned him

16:21 schestowitz-TR; pay money, become boardmember/s, oust the org from the guy inside out

16:21 schestowitz-TR; like in eff

16:21 schestowitz-TR; except in eff one died on his own

16:21 schestowitz-TR; and his friend didn't enjoy protection anymore

16:21 schestowitz-TR; at the end the money calls the shots

16:21 schestowitz-TR; btw, rianne left bargain-hunting 10 mins ago

16:21 schestowitz-TR; before she left she told me almost 20k workers in groceries will now be redundant

16:21 schestowitz-TR; as mccools, where we find the most discounted goods, is going bust :(

16:21 schestowitz-TR; that can impact our food bill

16:21 Techrights-sec; pay to play

16:21 Techrights-sec; they set up the organization for such a take over, either naively or

16:21 Techrights-sec; intentionally

16:21 Techrights-sec; "redundant" == fired for increased short term profit, long term loss

16:23 schestowitz-TR; no, the whole company goes into "administration"

16:23 schestowitz-TR; britishism for going under

16:23 schestowitz-TR; there is no rescue plan

16:23 schestowitz-TR; we can expect all the stores to shut down

16:23 schestowitz-TR; with some of our friends who sell us food

16:23 schestowitz-TR; this is a big blow, the other stores are further away and don't stock same discount levels

16:23 schestowitz-TR; in mccolls we got used to finding milk or bread for just 10p given the right times

16:23 schestowitz-TR; paying full price for food when prices soar is a bad thing

16:24 Techrights-sec; well that sucks then

16:24 Techrights-sec; the gradual creation of food deserts in the city

16:25 schestowitz-TR; this changes many calculations

16:25 schestowitz-TR; inc. quitting the company

16:25 schestowitz-TR; if we no longer go to the gym and if we cannot find good discounts in many stores in town, we can

16:25 schestowitz-TR; move further away from the city

16:26 schestowitz-TR; at the moment home prices are a bubble

16:26 schestowitz-TR; bad time to buy one

16:35 schestowitz-TR; quick thoughts

16:35 schestowitz-TR; I have 3 tests left to do here

16:35 schestowitz-TR; re fb, cnetralised comms was always easier, now it's innovation to move back to it?

16:35 schestowitz-TR; news/media very slow today, rianne barely found anything

16:35 schestowitz-TR; re tests, i added a new page called latest

16:35 schestowitz-TR; it's a combined page for all capsules for today and yesterday

16:35 schestowitz-TR; as expected, as a whole it takes longer than initially expected, mostly because I add more things that I

16:35 schestowitz-TR; had intended at first

16:35 schestowitz-TR; gemini will soon be about 10% of our Daily Links

16:35 Techrights-sec; every day is a slow news day in recent years

16:36 Techrights-sec; amfora and elpa-elpher are both in Debian now!!

16:37 Techrights-sec; Devuan 5 (daedalus)

16:37 schestowitz-TR; good news.

16:37 schestowitz-TR; debian 10, 11, or both? I can do a video where I show 'live' how to add it

16:37 schestowitz-TR; and to say it's aded to debian, hence sparkylinux etc.

16:37 schestowitz-TR; let me apt search on 10 and 11

16:38 Techrights-sec; elpa-elpher is in Raspberry Pi OS so far

16:38 Techrights-sec; ack

16:44 schestowitz-TR; I have just chedked. bullseye has elpher and 10 (buster) had none

16:44 schestowitz-TR; so maybe it's a devuan thing

16:44 schestowitz-TR; or maybe some other explanation

16:52 Techrights-sec; ack

16:52 Techrights-sec; it's based on Bookworm (debian 12)

16:52 schestowitz-TR; deadalus based on deadian, as MinceR might say

16:55 Techrights-sec; yes it is a cleaned up version of debian but the question is whether

16:55 Techrights-sec; systemd can metastacize faster than dvuan can excise it

16:55 Techrights-sec; maybe if more debian derivatives join in ...

18:06 schestowitz-TR; draft

18:21 Techrights-sec; ack

18:21 Techrights-sec; the link to distrowatch is, as mentioned above, wrong

18:21 schestowitz-TR; what to use instead?

18:22 Techrights-sec; the one from devuan above

18:22 schestowitz-TR; the link is there in the post as well

18:24 Techrights-sec; yes but the distrowatch one should be removed since it is wrong

18:25 schestowitz-TR; I will put wikipedia there instead

18:25 Techrights-sec; great

18:28 Techrights-sec; the "based on" link ought to go to wikipedia;

18:28 Techrights-sec; the "impact many" ought to be the https://www.devuan.org/os/devuan-distros

20:32 SomeH4x0r; is IRC social control media?

20:33 SomeH4x0r; I have nothing to do irl

20:33 SomeH4x0r; idk if I'm autistic or something, but I think my life is fucked up

20:33 schestowitz-TR; being in ukraine at the moment is hard

20:33 SomeH4x0r; it is not about Ukraine

20:33 schestowitz-TR; IRC predates by 15 years what media dubbed "social"

20:33 SomeH4x0r; the war is not relevant for this

20:34 schestowitz-TR; you said your parents are abusive towards you

20:34 schestowitz-TR; but that's a personal thing

20:35 SomeH4x0r; there is no proper way to raise a child, I think

20:35 SomeH4x0r; I "live" online. No irl friends, reality being annoyance.

20:36 SomeH4x0r; I used to escape the reality in MMO games, though then I realized they are evil, and quit them

20:38 schestowitz-TR; they are addictive

20:38 schestowitz-TR; and they are controlled by a corporation

20:38 schestowitz-TR; governments are too

20:38 schestowitz-TR; but not one corporation

20:39 SomeH4x0r; yes, so I quit

20:41 schestowitz-TR; good, it's not easy

20:41 schestowitz-TR; all of these things designed to addict are better avoided to begin with
