I feel pretty much the way Roy does about security certificates, but perhaps I worry more about their use as a tool in the hands of governments to end free speech than I worry about their use in furthering the plans of monopolies. I see monopolies themselves as tools of government. Here in the US, our government seems to love them. Controlling one giant

09:18 schestowitz; <p>The Linux ecosystem in many ways found much of its momentum via hardware, rather than software. So it makes sense that there have been some fascinating efforts to reinvent the Linux ecosystem around hardware. The Raspberry Pi has of course built lasting excitement around computer hardware in contexts that fit neatly into the internet of things. But as desktop Linux distros have at times felt like wheel-spinning exercises (
09:18 schestowitz; just ask Linus Tech Tips, and shout-out to Jason Evangelho), it feels like Linux hardware targeted at consumers is likely to push it over the edge at some point. Ive already covered two of those efforts in the relatively recent pastthe PineBook Pro and the PinePhone, both made by Pine64but the JingPad represents something different: an attempt to make a piece of hardware that supports Linux from the ground up that a non-Linux user
09:18 schestowitz; might actually want to use. Todays Tedium takes an up-close look at the JingPad A1, an experimental new tablet worth looking into. Ernie @ Tedium</p></blockquote></li>

10:34 Techrights-sec; I would guess that the noise is at least partially in response to the posts.
10:34 Techrights-sec; It comes across as chaff.

11:31 schestowitz-TR; done
11:31 schestowitz-TR; audio is good because I can say things in it without getting easily quoted out of context
11:31 schestowitz-TR; the effort associated with transcribing ans verificatiion
11:31 schestowitz-TR; things like saying that Linus is bossed by 3 women from Microsoft, who get their whole salary from Microsoft

18:01 schestowitz-TR; I momentarily experiment with the pi running w//o network restrictions, as recrently it's almost
18:01 schestowitz-TR; impossible to fetch ipfs objects and I want to see the impact of turning the limits
18:01 schestowitz-TR; off
18:01 schestowitz-TR; I will put on tc-7 afterwar
18:04 Techrights-sec; tc class add dev $if parent 1:1 classid 1:40 htb rate 600kbit ceil 1mbit prio 4
18:04 Techrights-sec; tc class add dev $if parent 1:1 classid 1:50 htb rate 500kbit prio 5
18:04 Techrights-sec; Those steer the outgoing speed of IPFS
18:05 schestowitz-TR; there are two types of traffic: content and hash meta; I am guessing it's hard to know where our content is, as the hashes don't travel fully or widely enough
18:07 Techrights-sec; does the IPFS traffic have QoS settings? Those could be identified and
18:07 Techrights-sec; utilized.
18:07 schestowitz-TR; yes, I already lowered the swarm size, but it's still very big
18:08 Techrights-sec; SSH traffic has QoS to differentiate bulk from interactive. Maybe
18:08 Techrights-sec; IPFS has similar flags at the TCP level.

19:31 Techrights-sec; back in a few hours
19:31 schestowitz-TR; I lost track of which version of tc script I was running before experimenting
19:31 schestowitz-TR; version 7, as in, still seems to allow a lot of upward traffic

19:50 Techrights-sec; back
19:50 Techrights-sec; the latest tc-shaper.sh in Git is probably the best bit see the class settings
19:50 Techrights-sec; above for ideas about modification
19:50 Techrights-sec; tc is poorly documented or else I am not finding what is needed to know about
19:50 Techrights-sec; QoS
19:50 schestowitz-TR; I'll grab the one from git
19:52 schestowitz-TR; it's the same as v7
19:52 schestowitz-TR; I wonder if I ran that version before further changes were made to it
19:54 schestowitz-TR; now I try it again. it's definitely not what I was running before, it maxes up the upload capacity.
19:58 schestowitz-TR; at the time I did not make a copy of the file but just ran it from your homedir directly. it handicapped upload speeds, also for ssh... and that's why gemini became slow for large pages
19:59 Techrights-sec; I'll put the one from Git there. Just a minute...
19:59 schestowitz-TR; I think it is the same as version 7, but when I ran it I suppose it was before further changes were made to that file
20:02 Techrights-sec; I

20:02 Techrights-sec; minor tweaks in ~/bin/tc-shaper.sh
20:02 Techrights-sec; I'm trying to keep the latest version in Git only
20:07 schestowitz-TR; it seems much better now
20:07 schestowitz-TR; my findings can at least provide later tips on ipfs, irc, gemini etc.
20:07 schestowitz-TR; home hosting has itsm limits
20:11 schestowitz-TR; it's still maxing up upload capacity at times
20:11 schestowitz-TR; I wish I had made a local copy of the file when I loaded it about 10 days ago
20:12 schestowitz-TR; then again, prior settings (dec 1-10) has very slow ssh speed, gemini slowness for large page, and maybe further issues serving ipfs contents
20:15 Techrights-sec; What kind of traffic control is available on the router itself? There should
20:15 Techrights-sec; be some useful rate limiting there if it is Linux-based.
20:15 Techrights-sec; SSH connections have been slow but once connected, it's fine from this end.
20:15 Techrights-sec; The slow connections might be file system related. IPFS puts a lot of strain
20:15 Techrights-sec; on the microSD card and that is not fast at all.
20:15 schestowitz-TR; I don't think the router has throttling controls
20:16 schestowitz-TR; in retrospect, the settings I had before felt great, but quite likely had a negative effect on large ipfs objects and large gemini pages
20:19 Techrights-sec; It effectively blocked the longer Gemini pages, notably the IRC logs.
20:19 schestowitz-TR; are they OK now from your end?
20:21 Techrights-sec; SSH is quite responsive now, even connecting.
20:21 Techrights-sec; Gemini is fine, I think the slowness there is still the file system.
