08:22 schestowitz-TR; back
08:22 schestowitz-TR; was TM gemini restated or something?
08:22 schestowitz-TR; 10 mins ago it stopped responding
08:22 schestowitz-TR; false alarm
08:22 schestowitz-TR; my bad
08:22 schestowitz-TR; what timed out was the cron job that helps me track local weather
08:22 schestowitz-TR; sorry for the false alarm
08:23 techrightssec2; Not that I know of.
08:23 techrightssec2; Checking.
08:23 techrightssec2; The daemon has been running for over a day:
08:23 techrightssec2; ps -o user,pid,etime,args | grep 2821 | grep gemini
08:23 techrightssec2; gemini 2821 1d06 /usr/bin/gmnisrv -C /etc/gmnisrv.ini
08:26 techrightssec2; No problem
08:29 schestowitz-TR; i think my replies therein were polite enough and hard to take out of context
08:29 schestowitz-TR; btw, mumble is awesome, we use it heavily
08:29 schestowitz-TR; many client downloads too
08:29 schestowitz-TR; objective: instead of x companies (prism, russia, china) having datacentres for it
08:29 schestowitz-TR; people start hosting p2p and e2ee comms from their homes
08:29 schestowitz-TR; isps might respond by not giving world-facing ip addresses to homes
08:31 *Techrights-sec is now known as ts2
08:31 techrightssec2; Yes, like what happened with Usenet not so long ago.
08:32 schestowitz-TR; something to watch out for
08:32 schestowitz-TR; if I set up murmur again, I will record a video or something to show how it is done
08:32 schestowitz-TR; so more people self-host mumble and foster solidarity for the practice
08:33 techrightssec2; Probably no need to set it up again but it would be important to back up
08:33 techrightssec2; the certificates used by the daemon.
08:33 techrightssec2; It's darn easy to self-host Mumble and when combined with even a dynamic DNS
08:33 techrightssec2; entry and port forwarding from the router, anyone can do it.
08:33 schestowitz-TR; for now
08:36 schestowitz-TR; with usenet you assumed all major isps would offer access
08:36 schestowitz-TR; when they did not, people stopped coming
08:36 schestowitz-TR; and groups perished
08:36 schestowitz-TR; never mind google's rogue role
08:36 schestowitz-TR; with mumble, apple and gulag might say mumble promotes bad language
08:36 schestowitz-TR; or does not comply with cocism like censorship
08:36 schestowitz-TR; and thus the "apps" for mumble must be removed
08:36 schestowitz-TR; like they did "rioit" before it was renamed "element"
08:36 schestowitz-TR; just to waste their time
08:36 schestowitz-TR; as if the name was the problem
08:36 schestowitz-TR; while they promote in the front page "apps" of companies that commit actaual war crimes
08:37 techrightssec2; Yes, for now. TPM and Restricted Boot and related problems are part of the
08:37 techrightssec2; lockdown move to eliminate general-purpose computing and replace it with
08:37 techrightssec2; corporately controlled appliances a la "smart" phones
08:37 techrightssec2; Yep
08:37 techrightssec2; Time-wasting is a core function and goal of such "apps"
08:39 schestowitz-TR; 1) i meant asking for the apps to be merely renamed -= timeasting
08:39 schestowitz-TR; 2) in india, lots of whats app censorship - they ALREADY cemsor messaging apps, not just social control media
08:39 schestowitz-TR; 3) iirc, both gulag and rotten apple censored parler
08:39 schestowitz-TR; but not fb and twitter
08:39 schestowitz-TR; so you can envision what they can say about mumla or similar mumble things
08:39 schestowitz-TR; even just to make it more "niche"
08:39 schestowitz-TR; skype = wiretapping and following links in 'private' messages
08:43 techrightssec2; It is important to remember that one of the very first things m$ did when
08:44 techrightssec2; acquiring skype was to centralize it.
08:45 schestowitz-TR; AND added to NSA PRISM!
08:45 schestowitz-TR; it's cheaper NOT to centralise it
08:45 schestowitz-TR; so I guess the business model is,
08:45 schestowitz-TR; suck up to DoD
08:45 schestowitz-TR; "we'll thank you later" :)
08:45 schestowitz-TR; skype used to be european
08:56 techrightssec2; M$ Outlook also follows links in messages, if the messages don't get lost
08:56 techrightssec2; first.
08:56 techrightssec2; Yes, and during that time it was not just distributed but also usable and with
08:56 techrightssec2; passable sound quality, unlike now post-purchase.
08:56 techrightssec2; By the way, SIP also seems to have reduced sound quality these days or at
08:56 techrightssec2; least it seems that way in the remaining SIP clients.
08:56 techrightssec2; It may be that they choose garbage codecs, but some have suggested that the
08:56 techrightssec2; ISPs (which are often phone companies or otherwise connected to phone companies)
08:56 techrightssec2; choose to drop a lot of the UDP packets.
08:56 techrightssec2; s/drop/drop or delay/
08:59 schestowitz-TR; -
08:59 schestowitz-TR; yes, ipfs is a bit like that
08:59 schestowitz-TR; it seems safe to keep running
08:59 schestowitz-TR; we don't fetch or repost anything, so we cannot possible host anything illegal
08:59 schestowitz-TR; unless it is our own
08:59 schestowitz-TR; *possibly host

10:39 techrightssec2; Yes, Techdirt has asked the right questions there.
10:39 schestowitz-TR; admfubar put that in the irc channel yesterday, before that came into kate editor
10:43 techrightssec2; Piggybacking "riders" into must-pass legislation is toxic and anti-American
10:43 techrightssec2; Notice that it's not just that most of the coverage is afflicted by severe
10:43 techrightssec2; conflicts of interest, but that almost the only sites covering it at all are
10:43 techrightssec2; overseas: India, UK, Australia, etc
10:43 techrightssec2; The US-based business don't want the matter examined in any way, shape, or form.

12:06 schestowitz-TR; rather consistent across weeks
12:06 schestowitz-TR; and 2019 was NOT a good year
12:06 schestowitz-TR; compared to 2015-18
12:06 schestowitz-TR; the numbers would be even worse if compared to pre covid averages
12:06 schestowitz-TR; john is singing and rhyming gulag guidelines to avoid channel bans
12:06 schestowitz-TR; but he semi-joking about how "this platform" requires him to say this and that
12:06 schestowitz-TR; I guess it might be similar with topics like crypto [sic], Linux, Ukraine..
12:06 schestowitz-TR; google is sort of bossing from the shadows

12:08 techrightssec2; ack

12:08 techrightssec2; yes, I suspect that one also has to sing the praises of m$ or at least windoze
12:08 techrightssec2; in order to keep a youtube channel unbanned
12:08 techrightssec2; or at least keep it monetized
12:08 techrightssec2; yes of course
12:08 techrightssec2; they *really* hate Kodi, too
12:08 schestowitz-TR; they can ban you for anything to justify the outcome pre-chosen
12:08 schestowitz-TR; like, you covered this software several years ago

12:42 techrightssec2; Self-censorship is what they aim for. It saves them work. Orwell referred to
12:42 techrightssec2; it as "newspeak" but the kids these days, not having read anything, coined
12:42 techrightssec2; the term "algospeak" but which amounts to the exact same thing.
13:23 techrightssec2; Many of the "big tech" firms have been going through multiple rounds of layoffs
13:23 techrightssec2; all year. Maybe an aggregation could be written up.

15:15 schestowitz-TR; sam varghese sort of vanished again after a couple of months doing many articles
15:44 techrightssec2; Manchin is out of line and making inappropriate maneuvers to obstruct the
15:44 techrightssec2; party (and nation) he ostensibly belongs to.
15:44 schestowitz-TR; working against the common good and for the rich super-minority is how some people make money
15:45 techrightssec2; Sam was about the last good writer they had there at ITWire
15:45 techrightssec2; Manchin owes his personal and political wealth entirely to the fossil fuel
15:45 techrightssec2; industry; There are enough conflicts of interest to keep him out of office
15:45 techrightssec2; in a less corrupt administration.
