08:55 schestowitz-TR; the demise of social control media is a very historically significant event,
08:55 schestowitz-TR; not just in the context of tech

08:58 Techrightssec; The big test of the fediverse will be if various companies add their own
08:58 Techrightssec; instances. DW, NYT, WP, etc could have instances for their reporters to use.
08:58 Techrightssec; rather than trying to pile (inappropriately) into an existing instance.
08:58 Techrightssec; Real reporting costs money, which they are no longer willing to spend/
08:58 Techrightssec; It's all bread and circuses these days and "tooting" is cheapest.
08:58 schestowitz-TR; they should do reporting
08:58 schestowitz-TR; not "tooting"
08:58 schestowitz-TR; they are assuming the problem is "twitter" or "musk"
09:00 schestowitz-TR; reporting costs time, not money
09:00 schestowitz-TR; but time can cost money
09:00 schestowitz-TR; it saddens me to see many sites in my feeds posting shameless webspam
09:00 schestowitz-TR; wastes time and causes regret about linking to them
09:04 Techrightssec; ack
09:04 Techrightssec; web spam is becoming all too common
09:06 schestowitz-TR; "bext vpn"

09:27 schestowitz-TR; a mins ago I caught up with clown bubble starting to implode too
09:27 schestowitz-TR; as i mentioned before, some pay PER MONTH what would cost them to buy one server with sufficient
09:27 schestowitz-TR; capacity to lost maybe a decade
09:27 schestowitz-TR; *last
10:26 Techrightssec; The Register article also points to the possibility of that now that people
10:26 Techrightssec; have had quite a few large invoices and notice that they are neither saving
10:26 Techrightssec; time, effort, nor money with "clown" services
10:27 schestowitz-TR; I see that first-hand
10:27 schestowitz-TR; not my own account
10:27 schestowitz-TR; imagine paying like $1000 a month for a few VMs that have 0.00 CPU usage 99.9% of the time
10:27 schestowitz-TR; and call this "modern"
10:28 schestowitz-TR; btw, I was thinking of spilling the pi to take advantage of the 400. the "4" is very busy, the 400 is idle
10:28 schestowitz-TR; the splitting would not be hard.
10:29 schestowitz-TR; ipfs runs as a background daemon and gets ruin manually\
10:29 schestowitz-TR; *rin
10:29 schestowitz-TR; *wun
10:29 schestowitz-TR; *run
10:29 schestowitz-TR; I should watch the screen while typign really
10:30 Techrightssec; The hard part will be to get the managers to admit failure, those that have
10:30 Techrightssec; not moved on yet. Many have gotten bonuses for a "successful" cloud migration
10:30 Techrightssec; and moved out of reach to other companies based on that "success".
10:30 Techrightssec; That'd work. The pi is not so busy CPU-wise it's just that IPFS is hogging
10:30 Techrightssec; all the disk IO and there is not (yet) a way to turn it off using sudo or
10:30 Techrightssec; whatever for the duration of the Gemini scripts' work.
10:30 Techrightssec; Right, but it /hogs/ the disk and nothing else can write properly while IPFS
10:30 Techrightssec; is running.
10:31 schestowitz-TR; given that ipfs is already serving fully from the server, maybe I should keep ipfs OFF here much of the time
10:31 schestowitz-TR; turning it off now..
10:31 Techrightssec; Thanks.
11:55 schestowitz-TR; ONS Released Complete Mortality Data Moments Ago. It Shows Total Deaths Are 16.23% Above Pre-COVID-19 Levels (for the Week). https://schestowitz.com/Weblog/archives/2022/11/08/2022-total-deaths/

11:59 Techrightssec; ack
12:03 schestowitz-TR; from the map presented in EP, by the angry MEP, worst increases are not England and Wales
12:03 schestowitz-TR; but German, Greece (I think he is Greek, based on the accent, maybe Cypriot), Finland
12:03 schestowitz-TR; Like 20%-30% higher
12:03 schestowitz-TR; I've still not opened 3 emails about upc, one from Breyer
12:03 schestowitz-TR; I save that for... when I'm done with links
12:03 schestowitz-TR; in order to reduce 'mental clutter'
12:03 schestowitz-TR; IRC is VERY busy today

12:03 schestowitz-TR; but at least on topic
12:03 mjg59_; At least you admit I'm on topic
12:07 schestowitz-TR; the MEP's name is pronnounced 'Tehras', i thionk first name christian or something germanic/anglican
12:07 schestowitz-TR; but I don't know his background
12:07 schestowitz-TR; many other MEPs don't want to bring up the issue
12:07 schestowitz-TR; for fear of getting 'canceled'
12:07 schestowitz-TR; though a British MP brought it up this past month
12:07 schestowitz-TR; and this MP is not a lawyer
12:07 schestowitz-TR; he's a scientists
12:07 schestowitz-TR; he complained that parents who lost kids are being painted "antivax"
12:07 schestowitz-TR; and that many deaths are not correctly registered
12:07 schestowitz-TR; I reckon ONS will face pressure to stop publishing data "so often"
12:07 schestowitz-TR; like secret agencies delay classification changes untilt he outrage is curtailed

14:15 schestowitz-TR; mumble works very well
14:15 schestowitz-TR; we had some guests
14:15 schestowitz-TR; testiing images, etc.
14:15 schestowitz-TR; commentr per user, authentication for nicks, adjusting volume per person
14:15 schestowitz-TR; adjusting echo cancelation
14:15 schestowitz-TR; it has all the key features
14:15 schestowitz-TR; so it's on almost all the time
14:15 schestowitz-TR; i wish we had done that earlier
14:30 Techrightssec; excellent
14:30 Techrightssec; mumble is a great tool
14:31 schestowitz-TR; for now we did not add more categories as the UI is 'difficult' already for some
14:31 schestowitz-TR; who are simply not accustomed to it
14:32 starstreak; the mumble UI is trash imo
14:33 starstreak; it uses qt
14:33 starstreak; it also ignores my dark mode theme
14:38 schestowitz-TR; i set mubble to ddark theme
14:38 schestowitz-TR; if has an option for it

15:06 Techrightssec; and the "fediverse"
15:07 schestowitz-TR; yes, I intentionally named alternative to the fediverse
15:07 schestowitz-TR; self-hosting is the way to go
