08:56 schestowitz-TR; just going through the sheeran links

08:56 schestowitz-TR; this reaffirms what I heard a long time ago

08:56 schestowitz-TR; about why music sucks so badly therse days

08:56 schestowitz-TR; legal reason, economic reasons, two connected aspects

08:56 Techrights-sec; it's one of the reasons byt there are many others each one alone would be

08:56 Techrights-sec; enough to make it suck badly.

08:59 schestowitz-TR; This is exactly the sort of thing techdirt used to cover at least half a dozen times a day before

08:59 schestowitz-TR; writing political stuff with obscene words in headlines and "don't tread on facebook et al"

08:59 schestowitz-TR; crap while charles koch pays the site

08:59 Techrights-sec; selling out is a business model, not a good one but a common one


9 AM, April 7

09:00 schestowitz-TR; there's a microsoft quote about that in re "analysts"

09:00 schestowitz-TR; like redmonk

09:01 Techrights-sec; though in some cases there may be coersion involved

09:01 Techrights-sec; https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=plata%20o%20plomo

↺ https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=plata%20o%20plomo

09:01 Techrights-sec; yes, "that's their business model"

09:01 Techrights-sec; Maybe Mike wasn't that bad on his own but the new people have sold out and

09:01 -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-www.urbandictionary.com | Urban Dictionary: plata o plomo

09:01 Techrights-sec; helped drag him along?

09:04 schestowitz-TR; urbandict is so full of trackers

09:04 schestowitz-TR; but i learned something new

09:04 schestowitz-TR; mmasnick was now dragged down

09:04 schestowitz-TR; he spread himself thin

09:05 schestowitz-TR; and brought on board people to whom the focus

09:05 schestowitz-TR; is stuff like boradbans

09:05 schestowitz-TR; police

09:05 schestowitz-TR; moody is OK, the rest not so much...

09:05 schestowitz-TR; *broadband

09:07 *asusbox has quit (Quit: Konversation terminated!)

09:07 *asusbox (~rianne@pumv3cb2rfinu.irc) has joined #boycottnovell

09:08 Techrights-sec; Perhaps related to M$ tradition of bribery

09:08 Techrights-sec; ack

09:08 Techrights-sec; I stopped reading the sit efor the most part when the signal to noise ratio

09:08 Techrights-sec; dipped. Moody is usually good, Masnick is often good though except when

09:08 Techrights-sec; he diverges fro mspecific tech topics and goes off barking.

09:08 schestowitz-TR; yes, you beat me to it

09:08 schestowitz-TR; I was about to day,

09:08 schestowitz-TR; if you donm't read it, it's no longer likely you miss much of value

09:08 schestowitz-TR; not just because of s/n ratio

09:08 schestowitz-TR; they also do not have much exclusive stuff

09:08 schestowitz-TR; they expand upon some police stories

09:08 schestowitz-TR; in the past they'd expese legal threats, PDDs, and brawl with aggressive law

09:08 schestowitz-TR; firms

09:16 Techrights-sec;

09:16 Techrights-sec; I wonder if there is any possiblity that they could even return to that,

09:16 Techrights-sec; if they could muster the interest internally.

09:17 schestowitz-TR; it's a lot harder than just getting some news link, then writing a bunch of garbage around that. It's also riskier.

09:22 Techrights-sec; yes, in several ways and the time from start to finish can be measured in

09:22 Techrights-sec; months sometimes

09:55 schestowitz-TR; spamnil now filrting with single-digit territories

09:55 schestowitz-TR; some new videos 10 views in 10 days

09:55 schestowitz-TR; and you know some of these views are spamnil and guest

09:55 schestowitz-TR; this is now sustainable

09:55 schestowitz-TR; unless something in the head isn't working

09:55 schestowitz-TR; or he manged to con "guests" into wasting their time

09:56 schestowitz-TR; meanwhile linux.com looks like, oh gosh, take a look

09:56 schestowitz-TR; a lot og gulagtube subs became mirage or fake

09:56 schestowitz-TR; you see channels where views are like 1000 fewer the number of subs

09:57 Techrights-sec; I don't think that the LF intended it to be sustainable, they did fire all

09:57 Techrights-sec; the real editorial writers and related staff quite on purpose.


10 AM, April 7

10:01 schestowitz-TR; inc. eric brown

10:01 schestowitz-TR; he gave up this week

10:01 schestowitz-TR; at least he was paid to do pieces in linux.com before

10:01 schestowitz-TR; and he did a good job at it

12:20 schestowitz-TR; media or blogs have at least begun mentioning this

12:20 schestowitz-TR; which is good news

12:20 schestowitz-TR; the bloggers we shamed into it


1 PM, April 7

13:50 schestowitz-TR; DaemonFC: "experiences with rms prioritising his own interests over the free software community in ways that harmed them"

15:57 schestowitz-TR; Q

15:57 schestowitz-TR; draft

15:57 schestowitz-TR; the hypervisor seems to be down as of minutes ago

15:57 schestowitz-TR; looking into it...

15:57 schestowitz-TR; it was a networking issue

15:57 schestowitz-TR; recovering now

15:57 schestowitz-TR; restorting services

15:57 schestowitz-TR; about 20 todo items

15:57 schestowitz-TR; will share with you when done

15:57 schestowitz-TR; in case I get hospitalised or something

15:57 schestowitz-TR; a bit stressful, I'll budget 20 mins to it

15:57 schestowitz-TR; also lost 50 mins of upload

15:58 schestowitz-TR; it was the network

15:58 Techrights-sec; I'll try logging in.

15:58 Techrights-sec; HV is available

15:58 Techrights-sec; hmm I could log into HV but now the SSH session is frozen

15:58 Techrights-sec; now unfrozen

15:58 Techrights-sec; intermittent

15:58 Techrights-sec; lxc-ls shows all five running

15:58 Techrights-sec; hv not responding to SSH any more

15:58 Techrights-sec; ack

15:58 Techrights-sec; what went on? hv stayed up

15:58 Techrights-sec; ok


4 PM, April 7

16:02 schestowitz-TR; upload restarted

16:02 schestowitz-TR; this can take a while

16:02 schestowitz-TR; you can see my two drafts

16:02 schestowitz-TR; sometimes I wonder what's worse, losing the servers conn or home conn

16:02 schestowitz-TR; both involve lots of recovery

16:03 Techrights-sec; it can take 20 minutes to get set up again with all the connections and such

16:03 Techrights-sec; networking is still wonky; not able to stay connected to TR at the moment

16:04 schestowitz-TR; yes, is why I delay some things

16:04 schestowitz-TR; I meticulously check irc logs for missinf things

16:25 schestowitz; [15:37] <schestowitz> the hypervisor became unreachable a few mins ago

16:25 schestowitz; [15:37] <schestowitz> not sure if you are aware, saw it already etc.

16:25 schestowitz; [15:37] <ssssssssssssssss> seems to be an issue with HE

16:25 schestowitz; [15:38] <ssssssssssssssss> i guess they reboot something

16:25 schestowitz; [15:38] <schestowitz> ah, good, so no reboot needed

16:25 schestowitz; [15:38] <schestowitz> i mean, machine still running, not connected

16:25 schestowitz; [15:38] <ssssssssssssssss> seems to be recovered

16:25 schestowitz; [15:39] <schestowitz> thanks! that was fast! :-D

16:25 schestowitz; [15:44] <ssssssssssssssss> i mean

16:25 schestowitz; [15:44] <ssssssssssssssss> i didn't do anything

16:25 schestowitz; [15:44] <ssssssssssssssss> except check another colo site of mine and observe that the california site was not in bgp tables and that my transport link was down

16:25 schestowitz; [15:44] <ssssssssssssssss> lol

16:25 schestowitz; [15:45] <schestowitz> yeah, it's still a bit up and down

18:01 Techrights-sec; ack

18:01 Techrights-sec; see /tmp/techrights-monitor-tr.py

18:01 Techrights-sec; on the RPi

18:01 Techrights-sec; btw there are lots of tempfiles left in /tmp/ so I will look for the cause

18:01 schestowitz-TR; thanks, I'm overloaded here atm

18:01 schestowitz-TR; like 5 things at once

18:09 schestowitz-TR; oh, I see now

18:09 schestowitz-TR; I imagine you coded this for your end

18:09 schestowitz-TR; this becomes visible to me when I am upstairs

18:09 schestowitz-TR; where the pi is,

18:09 schestowitz-TR; I did not bring it near me

18:09 schestowitz-TR; it's still flashing lights and all

18:09 schestowitz-TR; esp. around the time I'm afk

18:09 schestowitz-TR; so if ipfs is down it'll flash bright on and off

18:09 schestowitz-TR; but this too can help

18:09 schestowitz-TR; and maybe put in git

18:09 schestowitz-TR; today turned out to be a tad stressful due to work and due to the downtime

18:10 Techrights-sec; yes it's fopr this end but might be interesting to take pieces from

18:12 Techrights-sec; however, some recent changes introduced bugs so don't put it into Git

18:13 schestowitz-TR; i hope i will manage to 'extinguish' rss, email, and work stuff (task assigned to me) within hours

18:13 schestowitz-TR; ast least the two epo posta re belatedly out

18:13 schestowitz-TR; after 3 failed upload attempts
