05:55 schestowitz-TR; What he does not and cannot say in GulagTube is that they now need to look into the same thing wrt vaccination

05:55 schestowitz-TR; rather than infection

9 AM, November 7

09:27 schestowitz-TR; just rebooted

09:27 schestowitz-TR; system acting a little strange

09:27 Techrightssec; ack

09:28 Techrightssec; reboots are necessary when the kernel or certain libraries are updated,

09:28 Techrightssec; also it's a good way to clear out long running processes

09:30 Techrightssec; otherwise with some libraries, you can get inconsistent behaviour

09:33 schestowitz-TR; in my case, it seems like kde issue, kwallet and kate not working optimally atm

09:33 schestowitz-TR; doing system update as well just in case

09:33 schestowitz-TR; but the net effort is lost time, nothing else

09:35 schestowitz-TR; think I foun d the cuprit

09:35 schestowitz-TR; tldr; messed around with kwallet, which left kate hanging, waiting to make remote connections to open files

09:35 schestowitz-TR; I will TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY to tidy things up

09:35 schestowitz-TR; Monday mornings are quiet anyway

09:41 schestowitz-TR; the issue is something with kwallet

09:41 schestowitz-TR; not remembering passwords and just hanging

09:41 schestowitz-TR; I had a similar issue some days ago

09:47 schestowitz-TR; argh!!!!!

09:47 schestowitz-TR; I know where it is

09:47 schestowitz-TR; I already warned myself

09:47 schestowitz-TR; last year

09:47 schestowitz-TR; it's kwaller hindind behind a bunch of windows

09:48 schestowitz-TR; with a prompt

09:48 schestowitz-TR; took me half an hour to find it

09:48 schestowitz-TR; mystery solved!

09:51 Techrightssec; that could well be the result of mismatched libraries (update minus reboot)

09:56 schestowitz-TR; a reboot would have 'helped' in the sense it would give me another chance to see an hanging prompt

09:56 schestowitz-TR; this is not a new problem

09:57 schestowitz-TR; rianne had that too

09:57 schestowitz-TR; it's UI kludge

10:10 *psydruid (~psydruid@jevhxkzmtrbww.irc) has joined #boycottnovell

10:18 Techrightssec; ack

10:44 schestowitz-TR; back in action

10:44 schestowitz-TR; without any of these niggles, I reckon a reboot and session/tasks restore should take 20 mins

10:44 schestowitz-TR; abotu the same as end of month tasks

11 AM, November 7

11:32 schestowitz-TR; nhs became truly awful

11:32 schestowitz-TR; just needed to escalate to a manager (not for me)

11:32 schestowitz-TR; after they play "pingpong" with patient

11:32 schestowitz-TR; physical, phone, "on line" (Web site, awful)

11:32 schestowitz-TR; I joked that next thing they'll do it call a webchat "GP visit"

11:32 schestowitz-TR; then outsource to lowpaid country

11:32 schestowitz-TR; then replace with "HEY HI"

11:32 schestowitz-TR; and still call it "national insurance" (HEY HI)

11:32 schestowitz-TR; They already try to do workflow charts as JS and call that "service"

11:32 schestowitz-TR; I remember in high school someone wrote in ML (not machine learning, the language

11:32 schestowitz-TR; like SML) some program to help with classificatiopn

11:32 schestowitz-TR; so this neo-liberal fantasy is like 25+ years old

11:32 schestowitz-TR; like the idea of "self-serving"

11:32 schestowitz-TR; and "cashless payments" universally

11:32 schestowitz-TR; no comment needed, just venting a little

11:37 Techrightssec; insurance != care

11:40 schestowitz-TR; for a lot of people the ambition to settle and have a quiet life is disrupted by

11:40 schestowitz-TR; ssoaring inflation and various other factors, inc. various changes at the health level,

11:40 schestowitz-TR; inc. relatives, and then there are factors that are neither financial or health related

11:40 schestowitz-TR; shhort story: life in 2020 onwards is very much difference from 1980s

11:40 schestowitz-TR; not to mention what "home ownership" meant 40 years ago

11:40 schestowitz-TR; I am happy and healthy, can't complain

11:40 schestowitz-TR; but make observation on many around me, who are a lot less fortunate

11:40 schestowitz-TR; and I don't see this turning around any time soon, the media here makes very grim predictions

11:40 schestowitz-TR; which can't possible be healthy albeit maybe sobering to the populace

11:40 schestowitz-TR; *possibly

11:45 Techrightssec; ack

11:47 *psydruid (~psydruid@jevhxkzmtrbww.irc) has left #boycottnovell

11:49 schestowitz-TR; if my laptop has a third complete system freeze in 10 days or less, I will do a proper investigation

11:49 schestowitz-TR; I already moved my important files off it earlier this year

11:49 schestowitz-TR; but it's a good processor and I want to keep it for several more years

11:49 schestowitz-TR; the only net effect here is loss of time

11:49 schestowitz-TR; the loss of "notes" was very minimal

11:49 schestowitz-TR; thanks to the way file server and backups are done

11:49 schestowitz-TR; I didn't back up the sites last night, did not have time

11:49 schestowitz-TR; but it's on my list still

11:49 schestowitz-TR; once the dust settles I'll be able to do a lot more

noon, November 7

12:04 schestowitz-TR; breyer has just written to me

12:04 schestowitz-TR; have not opened yet

12:04 schestowitz-TR; reluctant to start another long article

12:04 schestowitz-TR; got some more upc material as well

12:04 schestowitz-TR; I will limit toi breyer for now

12:04 schestowitz-TR; unless that avenue closes

12:23 Techrightssec; ack

12:41 *Mio14 (~quassel@freenode-pqt.q7g.pbb8i6.IP) has joined #boycottnovell

12:48 schestowitz-TR; good news: spoke to clinic manager, got an appointment in 3-hour notice this way

12:48 schestowitz-TR; so the escalation worked

12:48 schestowitz-TR; posting Daily Links now

12:48 Techrightssec; ack

12:48 Techrightssec; excellent

12:49 schestowitz-TR; you already know this: reading about FB and Twitter lately is music to my ears

12:49 schestowitz-TR; and I think it vindicates me for saying it would happen "in the next 5 years

12:49 schestowitz-TR; I could probably say "1 year" or "2 years" but played it safe

12:51 psydruid; crises and pandemics accelerate things that would have happened anyway, but would have taken longer otherwise

12:58 Techrightssec; ack

12:58 schestowitz-TR; yeah, the busiuness model was not t rhere

12:58 schestowitz-TR; the capital klept coming

12:58 schestowitz-TR; but that river dried up

12:59 schestowitz-TR; sorry for typos
