10:36 schestowitz-TR; OLD: "Very strange, indeed. IF Microsoft is behind these strange activities, it would demonstrate that they are clearly worried

10:36 Techrights-sec; Interesting, but M$ behavior is still ongoing. Also, ZDNet has fallen since

10:36 Techrights-sec; 2011

10:37 schestowitz-TR; a lot earlier, but editors changed a lot

10:37 schestowitz-TR; also, the au and uk sites perished

10:37 schestowitz-TR; among others

10:47 Techrights-sec; l

10:47 Techrights-sec; It was covered in another article too

10:47 Techrights-sec; adding

10:47 Techrights-sec; strange, I thought it got added the other day since I recall reading it

10:47 -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-iTWire - Don't want to be abused online? Simple, stay away from social media

10:47 schestowitz-TR; it is an important subject

10:47 schestowitz-TR; anything we can pick up on it can come handy

10:47 schestowitz-TR; come in handy

10:47 Techrights-sec; yes

10:48 Techrights-sec; yet at the same time most mainstream media site are actively pushing for

10:48 Techrights-sec; use of social control media and doing what they can to normalize its use

10:48 Techrights-sec; in place of actual sources

10:48 Techrights-sec; Same for all too many politicians and ex-politicians

10:51 schestowitz-TR; [03:24] <techrights-news> Revisionism to distract from famous criminal Bill Gates? https://www.i-programmer.info/history/people/305-gary-kildall.html

↺ https://www.i-programmer.info/history/people/305-gary-kildall.html

10:51 -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-www.i-programmer.info | Gary Kildall - CP/M, Digital Research and GEM

10:54 Techrights-sec; There's been lots of revisionism regarding Kildall. His book went unpublished,

10:54 Techrights-sec; in particular several chapters which spilled the dirt on Bill.

10:54 Techrights-sec; It's nasty that Bill ever gets mentioned in Kildall's biographies.

10:55 *DaemonFC (~daemonfc@prp59ds7kav8s.irc) has joined #boycottnovell

10:55 schestowitz-TR; Gary did not know a lot of rich people like Bill's mom

10:56 Techrights-sec; The link has a line of unadulterated bullshit: "Bill Gates was an enthusiast, a garage entrepreneur, a stylish programmer"

10:56 Techrights-sec; Bill was a dumpsterdiver, which is where he got most of his source code.

10:57 schestowitz-TR; y u so jealous !!


11 AM, April 10

11:02 Techrights-sec; yep, they turn to ad hominem every time

11:02 Techrights-sec; like 20 years ago when open standards were about to take over fully, M$

11:02 Techrights-sec; minions started the whisper campaign that it was all just "schadenfreud" and

11:02 Techrights-sec; ignored the benefits which open standars had already provide to-date.

11:42 schestowitz-TR; tux machines has a soft spot or underbelly for emojis

11:42 schestowitz-TR; this means that for nws picks that are going to go into "linux" related stuff

11:42 schestowitz-TR; it helps to delete the symbols

11:42 schestowitz-TR; it does not kill the site's DB

11:42 schestowitz-TR; drupal just cuts everything after such symbols

11:42 schestowitz-TR; hence I've had to run extra checks at my side

11:42 schestowitz-TR; just saying


noon, April 10

12:02 schestowitz-TR; ^^ number (1)

12:02 schestowitz-TR; (2) I am now going to experiment with the news file on patents, 250+ of them

12:02 schestowitz-TR; (3) iirc, firefox still has a CLI option for screenshots of a given page

12:02 schestowitz-TR; I used to know all the CLI options, but rianne and I use librewold and most of

12:02 schestowitz-TR; the time it is falkon for me

12:02 schestowitz-TR; 4) for the time being daily links contain <!-- url >> so they don't validate

12:02 schestowitz-TR; buit I checked gemini and gemtext is OK with it for now

12:02 schestowitz-TR; going to figure out an approach for grouping "IP' news and how to quickly do rebuttals

12:02 schestowitz-TR; with screenshots, not links

12:02 Techrights-sec; ack

12:02 Techrights-sec; the files validate here

12:06 schestowitz-TR; yes, maybe different spec checked against

12:06 schestowitz-TR; for now I can alter my version of the file to not add the <!-- ...

12:06 schestowitz-TR; and at your end no tags added

12:06 schestowitz-TR; the only downside is, managing two versions over git can get confusing

12:06 schestowitz-TR; having said that, maybe this is a chance to change the name of the file

12:06 schestowitz-TR; which is something you wanted to do over a month ago

12:06 schestowitz-TR; or, as another option, branch that file out to another external function

12:06 schestowitz-TR; sometimes I use the fuctions for remote checksums and two paces of upload

12:06 schestowitz-TR; to quickly run uploads

12:06 schestowitz-TR; or to squeeze is another rsync when the first pass is over and nefore the fiinal one starts

12:06 schestowitz-TR; for large videos this can shave off an hour

12:38 Techrights-sec; ack

12:38 Techrights-sec; One of the things that the LF has done to the world is to make license violations the norm and accepted. Probably most embedded

12:38 Techrights-sec; systems are GPL-licensed.

12:38 Techrights-sec; ALmost none of them actually comply with the license requirements.

12:39 schestowitz-TR; just look who SPONSORS LF

12:39 schestowitz-TR; and see the IRS files

12:39 schestowitz-TR; they make it clear, black and "allow"

12:39 schestowitz-TR; if you pay, you get a seat

12:39 schestowitz-TR; check the latest board changes

12:39 schestowitz-TR; some "embedded" companies bought a seat

12:39 schestowitz-TR; even patent trolls

12:46 schestowitz-TR; about 4 years ago bruce perens wrote publicly that LF had become a gpl infringers' club

12:46 schestowitz-TR; or something to that effect

12:46 schestowitz-TR; techrights probably has a mailing list link several times (around that year)

12:46 schestowitz-TR; but that was probably before we properly took on LF as an issue

12:46 schestowitz-TR; and before FOSSForce spread its butt cheeks

12:46 Techrights-sec; Yes that would describe it, a GPL infringers' club

12:46 Techrights-sec; https://odysee.com/@rossmanngroup:a/let's-talk-about-source-code,-right-to:7

↺ https://odysee.com/@rossmanngroup:a/let's-talk-about-source-code,-right-to:7

12:46 -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-odysee.com | Let's talk about source code, Right to Repair, and massive deflection by John Deere.

12:47 schestowitz-TR; with the word "Linux" in it

12:47 schestowitz-TR; managing the outsoucing of code to Microsoft (GitHub)

12:48 Techrights-sec; the LF is about representing the interests of its corporate members within

12:48 Techrights-sec; the project and pushing their agendas.

12:48 Techrights-sec; and turning a blind eye to their damage and violations

12:49 schestowitz-TR; it is a lot worse for two reasons

12:49 schestowitz-TR; 1) they also buy control over Torvalds -- something that Steve Jobs was unable to buy

12:49 schestowitz-TR; 2) they are using the trademark of Torvalds, "Linux", to buy legitimacy

12:49 schestowitz-TR; for totally unrelated things, some of which actively undermine Linux

12:50 schestowitz-TR; Linus IS AWARE, but his balls are in someone else's palm, so he's either in

12:50 schestowitz-TR; denial about it or worries what spreaking out would entail (again)

12:50 Techrights-sec; More like a vise than a palm.

12:52 schestowitz-TR; it cannot hurt to send him an email, I assume you have his address,and send him

12:52 schestowitz-TR; a

12:52 schestowitz-TR; short reminder of what's happening

12:52 schestowitz-TR; even if he does not reply, if short and to the point he will read it

12:52 schestowitz-TR; and it'll come back to his miind every now and then

12:52 schestowitz-TR; I don't think LF pre-filters his mail, at least not yet

12:52 Techrights-sec; I'pm not sure. I've never been introduced and have never contributed any code

12:52 Techrights-sec; to his project.

12:52 schestowitz-TR; that does not matter

12:54 schestowitz-TR; Sam Varghese never wrote any code, but Debian devs and Linus do reply to him

12:54 schestowitz-TR; even as recently as this past week

12:57 schestowitz-TR; I iamagine, based on what he told Sam, that deep inside Linus agrees with Techrighhts

12:57 schestowitz-TR; on a lot of things

12:57 schestowitz-TR; not all things

12:57 schestowitz-TR; but some

12:57 schestowitz-TR; but he can never say that

12:57 schestowitz-TR; I'm OK with it

12:57 schestowitz-TR; Dealing with issues like corporate troll

12:57 schestowitz-TR; does not buy you corporate friends

12:57 schestowitz-TR; FSF has some people who mfoolishly think that

12:57 schestowitz-TR; being more "professional" (e.g. visiting Microsoft)

12:57 schestowitz-TR; would open door to them

12:57 schestowitz-TR; and make them more acceptable

12:57 schestowitz-TR; it's a mirage

12:57 schestowitz-TR; 2 weeks after RMS went to Microsoft he got 'canceled'

12:57 Techrights-sec; ack

12:57 Techrights-sec; "professional" means ass-kissing, sucking up, and backstabbing. LT acknowledged

12:57 Techrights-sec; that much.

12:57 Techrights-sec; It was a very stupid, foolish move for RMS to give M$ so much PR leverage over

12:57 Techrights-sec; him and thus GNU.

12:58 schestowitz-TR; months later SJVN wrote, and even told me directly, that "even RMS" was OK with Microsoft


1 PM, April 10

13:00 Techrights-sec; The set him up and then took the opportunity his visit afforded. So the

13:00 Techrights-sec; last that many people saw or heard of him was at M$ and that allows M$ to

13:00 Techrights-sec; further control the narrative about "acceptance" of their vile software and

13:00 Techrights-sec; worse behavior and lack of ethics.

13:00 Techrights-sec; Yes, SJVN fell for the lies but since RMS was cancelled, he could not correct

13:00 Techrights-sec; the lies even with SJVN. Then on the other hand SJVN did sell out around then.

13:00 Techrights-sec; I forget which quarter he turned but it went quickly.

13:00 schestowitz-TR; I asked RMS to explain his visit

13:00 schestowitz-TR; which he later diod

13:00 schestowitz-TR; he said Microsoft had written to him

13:00 schestowitz-TR; and expressed interest

13:00 schestowitz-TR; he didn't say who wrote it

13:01 schestowitz-TR; many someone Microsoft had poached to "influence"

13:01 schestowitz-TR; *maybe

13:13 Techrights-sec; EIther way he go used badly.

13:13 Techrights-sec; to the detriment of FOSS in general.

13:13 schestowitz-TR; back with teapot I could use your advice if you wish to quickly annotate what's on the screen, what to use? gimp is too slow and not suitable for the tsk

13:14 Techrights-sec; I'm not sure, I would have said Gimp. Krita will be slower as far as I know Ksnip maybe? Inkscape would be clunkier than Gimp. What about LibreOffice Draw?

13:15 schestowitz-TR; I never tried Krita

13:15 schestowitz-TR; but I am familiar with the others

13:15 schestowitz-TR; GIMP can be OK, but it's not suited for this task

13:16 schestowitz-TR; the UI is not for rapid jotting on the screen

13:16 schestowitz-TR; that's what I liked video form for

13:18 Techrights-sec; Knsip?

13:18 Techrights-sec; ^Ksnip?

13:18 Techrights-sec; You've got KDE already IIRC

13:18 Techrights-sec; ack

13:19 schestowitz-TR; spactacle and ksnip do not allolw ad hoc, in-pace edits, go to external editor

13:19 schestowitz-TR; like I said firefox canm take urll and print to file

13:19 schestowitz-TR; iirc as png as well

13:19 schestowitz-TR; but then I might want to draw on it+ add some text

13:19 schestowitz-TR; thousands of times over

13:21 schestowitz-TR; i want to research this BEFORE potentially spending hours per week

13:21 schestowitz-TR; only to have remorse later

13:21 schestowitz-TR; the workflow for this should be

13:21 schestowitz-TR; press some combo

13:21 schestowitz-TR; e.g. with xbindkeys

13:21 schestowitz-TR; then draw some stuff on the screen press save and choose filename

13:22 schestowitz-TR; I wonder if something like that exists for gnu/linux

13:22 schestowitz-TR; i never stumbled upon such a thing

13:22 schestowitz-TR; but I can't be the first person to want that

13:22 Techrights-sec; hmm --recording crashed firefox

13:22 Techrights-sec; Gimp has scripting

13:22 Techrights-sec; two kinds of scripting

13:24 schestowitz-TR; good engineers added good things to mozilla firefox

13:24 schestowitz-TR; inc. CLI stuff

13:24 schestowitz-TR; now chromium has better CLI tools

13:24 schestowitz-TR; I checked

13:24 schestowitz-TR; and the settings were watered down in firefox in more recent versions

13:24 schestowitz-TR; because they hate core useers

13:24 schestowitz-TR; 30+ (million) OK

13:24 schestowitz-TR; LOCs

13:24 schestowitz-TR; let's just remove those 10 lines of code "For security"

13:24 schestowitz-TR; or for "dumb" users who never use the CLI anywa

13:24 Techrights-sec; flameshot?

13:24 schestowitz-TR; I remember it, never used it, let me check...

13:30 schestowitz-TR; apropos (ot)

13:30 schestowitz-TR; there was a good talk in libreplanet

13:30 schestowitz-TR; about doing arts and stuff from the cli

13:30 schestowitz-TR; also with python

13:30 schestowitz-TR; did you see it?

13:30 schestowitz-TR; trying flameshot now

13:30 schestowitz-TR; yes!!! This is exactly what I needed!

13:30 schestowitz-TR; you run it as

13:30 schestowitz-TR; flameshot gui

13:30 schestowitz-TR; then it lets you select a region

13:30 schestowitz-TR; drawing cirecles and stuff and adding text

13:30 schestowitz-TR; then press ave

13:30 schestowitz-TR; s

13:30 schestowitz-TR; simple ave dialogue appears

13:30 schestowitz-TR; perfect

13:30 schestowitz-TR; I will; deposit the text I put in for alt="" in the text file

13:31 Techrights-sec; There's also an -anotate and -gravity option in ImageMagick, that's highly

13:31 Techrights-sec; scriptable

13:31 Techrights-sec; -draw too

13:31 Techrights-sec; excellent

13:31 schestowitz-TR; adding this to xbindkeys

13:48 Techrights-sec; router maintenance etc 30 min

14:27 schestowitz-TR; hi

14:27 schestowitz-TR; can you take a quick look att he draft and say if this apporoach makes sense

14:27 schestowitz-TR; and if not what to improve?

14:30 Techrights-sec; hi

14:30 Techrights-sec; router maintenance complete (AFAIK)

14:30 Techrights-sec; ok

14:30 Techrights-sec; s/propaganda/propaganda and disinformation/

14:33 Techrights-sec; I'm not seeing the ALT text though

14:35 Techrights-sec; ok the proof of the pudding is in the gemtext

14:36 schestowitz-TR; checking a conversion to gemtext

14:36 schestowitz-TR; to increase chances of it updating OK

14:36 schestowitz-TR; I shift between two modes of traffic-shaping

14:36 schestowitz-TR; one is more lenient

14:36 schestowitz-TR; and with it on, completition is almost assured

14:36 schestowitz-TR; it tends to increase latency when I surf the web though

14:37 schestowitz-TR; had tc not needed root

14:38 schestowitz-TR; it would have been both possible and wise to enable the lenient mode as

14:38 schestowitz-TR; part of the refresh script

14:38 schestowitz-TR; and then revert back at the end

14:40 Techrights-sec; the tc script can be portioned off into /usr/local/sbin/ and then

14:40 Techrights-sec; a line added to /etc/sudoers so that it can then be called from the refresh

14:40 Techrights-sec; script without needed a password. Just don't let it accept options or else

14:40 Techrights-sec; hard code the options into the sudoers file

14:44 schestowitz-TR; update complete

14:44 schestowitz-TR; looks fine as text in kristall

14:44 schestowitz-TR; the hard part will be grouping related topics

14:44 schestowitz-TR; it is at least fast to do esp. when I get all the workflow right

14:44 schestowitz-TR; like adding texts to klipper while I type it, then spewing it out into

14:44 schestowitz-TR; a text file afterwards

14:44 schestowitz-TR; added the traffic shaping scripts to sbin

14:44 schestowitz-TR; going to change sudoers now, with the validating editor

14:44 schestowitz-TR; unlike the last time

14:45 Techrights-sec; Looks ok in amfora but I wonder about the missing contentin the ALT text.

14:45 Techrights-sec; There is material there in Gemtext and it kind of makes sense, but is it enough?

14:45 Techrights-sec; be ue to use visudo and to test befor closingthat window

14:54 *DaemonFC has quit (Quit: Leaving)

14:58 schestowitz-TR; i am looking at dusoers docs

14:58 schestowitz-TR; from what I can gather

14:58 schestowitz-TR; gemini ALL = EXEC: /one comand

14:58 Techrights-sec; %gemini ALL=(root:root) NOPASSWD: /usr/local/sbin/command1 ""

14:58 Techrights-sec; The documentation is confusing. Exec and NoExec refer to shell escapes.

14:59 schestowitz-TR; a second identical line for command2?

15:04 schestowitz; # User privilege specification

15:04 schestowitz; root ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL

15:04 schestowitz; # Allow members of group sudo to execute any command

15:04 schestowitz; %sudo ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL

15:04 schestowitz; %gemini ALL=(root:root) NOPASSWD: /usr/local/sbin/tc-shaper-v2021-Nov.sh ""

15:04 schestowitz; %gemini ALL=(root:root) NOPASSWD: /usr/local/sbin/tc-shaper-v2.sh ""

15:07 Techrights-sec; yes

15:07 Techrights-sec; that should do it, gemini will be able to run those two scripts as root

15:07 Techrights-sec; without a password but with no options

15:07 schestowitz-TR; ok, saving with visudo, will stay logged in regardless, as root

15:12 schestowitz-TR; tested OK

15:12 schestowitz-TR; as gemini

15:12 schestowitz-TR; can you add those to the update scripts and git?

15:12 schestowitz-TR; that ought to assure completition

15:13 schestowitz-TR; and no lock files lying about except power loss, rather than timeouts

15:13 schestowitz-TR; the one you want running during updates is Nov.sh

15:13 schestowitz-TR; yes, this is the correct order

15:13 schestowitz-TR; it only temporarily slows down our connection

15:13 schestowitz-TR; I think this is the first system level change we make since the latest cloning top external backup

15:14 Techrights-sec; yes, test first before closing the window or even closing the editor!

15:14 Techrights-sec; It would be a matter of putting this line in the script:

15:14 Techrights-sec; sudo /usr/local/sbin/tc-shaper-v2021-Nov.sh

15:14 Techrights-sec; and then later

15:14 Techrights-sec; sudo /usr/local/sbin/tc-shaper-v2.sh

15:14 Techrights-sec; or vice versa

15:28 schestowitz-TR; I am really LOVING the use of this new program

15:28 schestowitz-TR; it takes no longer to respond to FUD

15:28 schestowitz-TR; than it did in video

15:28 schestowitz-TR; I just need to think how to group related rebuttals

15:28 schestowitz-TR; also, with the screenshot, context can be seen but no traffic sent

15:28 schestowitz-TR; the headline is showing so people can ask gulag where that is

15:37 Techrights-sec; ack

15:39 schestowitz-TR; i've just done some testijng of daily links in gemini://

15:39 schestowitz-TR; to ensure it makes sense

15:39 schestowitz-TR; nice thing is when I link to the wiki or to older posts it points to the gemini:// equiv

15:39 schestowitz-TR; so on average about 5 links in daily links stay in geminisspace

15:39 schestowitz-TR; for the rest there are excerpts and "External" link

15:46 schestowitz-TR; lots of joking about this in irc atm

15:46 schestowitz-TR; you can see the scrollbnack in gemini

15:46 schestowitz-TR; not that it's important

17:36 schestowitz-TR; At the end, for alt, I decided adding the headline of shown articler would helpo too

17:36 schestowitz-TR; I wioll be experimenting with doing all this not just on Sundays
