05:28 schestowitz-TR; going to add my next post to draft
05:28 schestowitz-TR; you might want to see it earlie, video is longh and still processing
05:28 schestowitz-TR; added to drafts, still untitled, so it's an "open book"
05:29 techrigthssec; There's a lot to be said for the ability to concentrate the points down to
05:29 techrigthssec; an 8 to 10 minute video...
05:29 techrigthssec; Checkingf
05:29 techrigthssec; s/say about/say about the shortcomings with/ ?
05:30 schestowitz-TR; thanks, corrected

08:05 schestowitz-TR; email fwd'ed
08:05 schestowitz-TR; good news
08:05 schestowitz-TR; i have some unread rms msg too
08:05 schestowitz-TR; day started ok so far
08:08 schestowitz-TR; it would be nice to see any sort of public shaming of epo
08:08 schestowitz-TR; even better: eff catching up with epo and upc
08:08 schestowitz-TR; and then issuing condemnation
08:08 schestowitz-TR; of not just the censorship
08:08 schestowitz-TR; but also the policy
08:08 schestowitz-TR; and the upc lobby
08:08 schestowitz-TR; i can dream, can't i?
08:08 schestowitz-TR; they need to ask craig and mark and eric schmidy first
08:08 schestowitz-TR; *dt

08:55 schestowitz-TR; microsoft bribes
08:55 schestowitz-TR; "incentivises"
08:55 schestowitz-TR; it costs them
08:55 schestowitz-TR; not to downplay the problem
08:55 schestowitz-TR; but azure is overprovisioned
08:55 schestowitz-TR; that they run useless junk on it
08:55 schestowitz-TR; hey hi
08:55 schestowitz-TR; and then pay the media to hype them as as hey hi company
08:55 schestowitz-TR; lots of hey hi trash lately
08:55 schestowitz-TR; even schneir yesterdaty and some more today
08:55 schestowitz-TR; rebranding
08:55 schestowitz-TR; and unused server capacity
08:55 schestowitz-TR; if you build it, they will come <- not microsoft

09:11 psydruid; I'm thinking that Intel and also AMD launch their server products mainly for Azure these days
09:12 psydruid; Amazon is moving whatever it can to in-house processors
09:12 schestowitz-TR; yes, arm-based as well
09:12 schestowitz-TR; to save money
09:12 schestowitz-TR; and control everything
09:12 schestowitz-TR; but I'd not trust amazon chips, either
09:13 schestowitz-TR; it's not you controlling the server
09:13 schestowitz-TR; but amazon controlling the entire stack
09:13 schestowitz-TR; through licensing
09:13 psydruid; I wouldn't trust the clown
09:13 schestowitz-TR; and trade secrets
09:13 schestowitz-TR; techrigthssec:
09:13 schestowitz-TR; yes, he explained afterwards
09:13 schestowitz-TR; i think it's the first time I hear that in relation to s/w bugs
09:13 schestowitz-TR; good to have todo lists
09:13 schestowitz-TR; helps lessen impatience, defer some tasks or give x days before action
09:13 schestowitz-TR; eff did reply after 36 hours
09:13 schestowitz-TR; a name i never saw before (the sender)
09:15 techrigthssec; A week of coding can save an hour of planning
09:15 techrigthssec; 36 hours is not an unreasonable delay but the reply does seem to be a placeholder and not an actual response to t
09:15 techrigthssec; he question
09:15 schestowitz-TR; there is a ticket/reference number
09:15 schestowitz-TR; in the subject line
09:15 schestowitz-TR; but they did that before
09:16 schestowitz-TR; and nothing really happened later
09:16 schestowitz-TR; maybe they just asked if things turned out ok
09:16 schestowitz-TR; so they can close the ticket
09:16 schestowitz-TR; and claim "eff helped"
09:16 schestowitz-TR; without actually doing anything
09:16 schestowitz-TR; just parking there near you
09:17 techrigthssec; Probably, but again contacting them is not so much about having expectations
09:17 techrigthssec; of help or competence from them but merely documenting their reaction or lack of
09:17 techrigthssec; one.

10:55 schestowitz-TR; very productive day today
10:55 schestowitz-TR; irc has been...... interesting
10:55 schestowitz-TR; needed some prodding back into tech domain
10:55 schestowitz-TR; we now have about 20 topics to cover
10:55 schestowitz-TR; but they can be diced further
10:55 schestowitz-TR; and we don't yet the best order to present them in
10:55 schestowitz-TR; we put up the chinese calendar yesterday
10:55 schestowitz-TR; our lawyer gave that as a gift
10:55 schestowitz-TR; they still wear masks, as everybody should
10:55 schestowitz-TR; and also sit across a long table
10:55 techrigthssec; np
10:56 schestowitz-TR; elizabeth from microsoft in SN is a good sign
10:56 schestowitz-TR; it means SN pains them
10:56 schestowitz-TR; to the point where they need to 'turf it
10:57 schestowitz-TR; i am still trying to sniff out more info on the msft layoffs
10:57 schestowitz-TR; the media is more dead than elvis
11:00 schestowitz-TR; grepping http logs for "layoff", wc -l, 21.5k
11:00 schestowitz-TR; something is already happening
11:03 techrigthssec; ack
11:03 techrigthssec; Yep.
11:16 schestowitz-TR; apropos 20k, wiki for sirius just passed 20k
11:16 schestowitz-TR; and we haver so much left to show
11:16 schestowitz-TR; i know under the surface or glacier in msft there is a very big story
11:16 schestowitz-TR; the layoffs
11:16 schestowitz-TR; i will contact some people this week
11:16 schestowitz-TR; lewis is also planning to write some stuff
11:16 schestowitz-TR; regarding gates, no progress there yet
11:16 schestowitz-TR; very private individuals
11:26 techrigthssec;
11:26 techrigthssec; ack
11:26 schestowitz-TR; psydruid: any clues in .NL forums?
11:27 schestowitz-TR; are the surfers fuming?
11:27 schestowitz-TR; or turfers?
11:27 schestowitz-TR; aggressive but coy
11:31 schestowitz-TR; --
11:31 schestowitz-TR; news just in, divorces up 40+ % last year in uk (or england, or...)
11:31 schestowitz-TR; we reckon it's that phenomenon where the woman stays as long as slob husband brings in income
11:31 schestowitz-TR; and doesn't mess up the home
11:31 schestowitz-TR; saw in firsthand in the past
11:31 schestowitz-TR; because what rianne saw in "the news" said women initiated most divorces
11:31 schestowitz-TR; my theory was (did not read it), maybe 2021 with restrictions was not convenient but in
11:31 schestowitz-TR; 2022 they "finished the job"
11:31 schestowitz-TR; the split in familities is good for the estate industry
11:31 schestowitz-TR; more homes to rent
11:31 schestowitz-TR; and lower house ownership
11:31 schestowitz-TR; this, in turns, leads to further health crises and to kids brought up in tougher conditions
11:32 schestowitz-TR; not sure where rianne found the article, but would be useful to compare to eu countries
11:32 *psydruid (~psydruid@jevhxkzmtrbww.irc) has left #boycottnovell
11:40 techrigthssec; ack
11:40 schestowitz-TR; it also makes less productive societies
11:41 schestowitz-TR; two homes to clean
11:41 schestowitz-TR; less cooking or fewer servings per "session"
11:41 schestowitz-TR; fewer people available to teach/help kids
11:41 schestowitz-TR; or one to stay with them while the other runs errands
11:41 schestowitz-TR; so this is worrisome, except some can make more sales this way
11:43 schestowitz-TR; fewer tenants-> loer incentive to make good dishes -> health deteriorates
11:43 schestowitz-TR; and that opens a whole new jar of worms
11:43 schestowitz-TR; inc. labour crisis (many reportedly cannot work now due to health issues)
11:43 schestowitz-TR; not limited to long covid
11:43 schestowitz-TR; the figures are alarming; they want and need to work but cannot

12:08 psydruid; schestowitz-TR: NL is very Microsoft-minded, you get burned at the stame forma criticising Gates
12:08 psydruid; Oops
12:09 psydruid; at the stake for*
12:09 schestowitz-TR; yes, .nl seems very americanised
12:09 schestowitz-TR; based on statcounter
12:09 schestowitz-TR; unlike france
12:09 schestowitz-TR; french people don't trust anglos
12:09 schestowitz-TR; they are more anglophobic
12:09 schestowitz-TR; so france has better adoption of domestic stacks
12:09 schestowitz-TR; with inria and such
12:09 schestowitz-TR; the dutch even adopted american accents
12:10 schestowitz-TR; and love american tv shows
12:10 psydruid; the main reason why I'm not is because I'm a second-generation immigrant with a different (Asian Indian) ethnicity
12:10 schestowitz-TR; so maybe they have a soft spot for micro-soft
12:10 schestowitz-TR; the dutch are not so racist
12:10 schestowitz-TR; thankfully
12:10 schestowitz-TR; from my experience
12:10 psydruid; not in your face at least
12:10 schestowitz-TR; that's good too
12:10 schestowitz-TR; in some countries it is uncloseted
12:11 psydruid; I don't know where exactly I read it
12:11 psydruid; but in the US everything seems to be about race first
12:12 psydruid; if you are of a certain ethnicity you are expected to behave a certain way
12:12 psydruid; ah, it was Erik Engheim's blog on Medium
12:12 schestowitz-TR; my accent is not mancunian enough for some people
12:12 schestowitz-TR; but they don't pick on people for accents here
12:12 schestowitz-TR; because manchester is very diverse
