00:49 schestowitz-TR; restarting...

10 AM, April 11

10:08 schestowitz-TR; I lost everything you said after gm

10:10 schestowitz-TR; Did you say anything after gm?

10:10 schestowitz-TR; I did not read that, so it was cleared before I could see it

10:10 Techrights-sec; / home/boycottn/bin/get_dbs.sh ?

10:10 Techrights-sec; /home/boycottn/bin/fetch-tm-dump.sh ?

10:10 Techrights-sec; Just that there are some scripts which use myqldump

10:10 Techrights-sec; just about mysqldump and then the above paths

10:13 schestowitz-TR; ah, ok

10:13 schestowitz-TR; hand on...

10:13 schestowitz-TR; *hang on

10:22 schestowitz-TR; it looks like we last ran it last April

10:22 schestowitz-TR; I will give it a go now

10:22 schestowitz-TR; just checked the script one by line

10:22 schestowitz-TR; it ran OK, it moved too fast for me to catch any repairs

10:22 schestowitz-TR; but looking at the log it looks like about once a month

10:22 schestowitz-TR; there is a bit of a struggle with sort #######################################

10:22 schestowitz-TR; maybe that can explain why the DB deflates a bit Ytalk Error #

10:22 schestowitz-TR; and, in this case, does not register every visit

10:22 schestowitz-TR; either way, the core bits are intact

10:22 schestowitz-TR; I spent a lot of time yesterday

10:22 schestowitz-TR; checking tons of things in case this was a symptom of a real issue

10:22 schestowitz-TR; I will keep an eye now on hit counters to see if they're back to how they used to be.

10:22 Techrights-sec; ack

10:24 schestowitz-TR; ftr, as I was saying earlier, it all started when I saw unusually slow number of views

10:24 schestowitz-TR; apachelog made no sense, or rather apache top

10:24 schestowitz-TR; as everything looked normal

10:24 schestowitz-TR; I suspected it was likely some locked up table

10:24 schestowitz-TR; but waited to see the db dump at 5:13am for its side, so went to sleep

10:24 schestowitz-TR; checked to ensure manstodon and stuff all worked OK

10:24 schestowitz-TR; it would be a shame to lose so much data

10:46 Techrights-sec; what is the URL for the counts in question?

10:46 schestowitz-TR; the counts are still shown incorrectly

10:46 schestowitz-TR; I will try flushing out the cache in Drupal

10:46 schestowitz-TR; all pages newer than about 16 hours are affected

10:50 schestowitz-TR; tbh, lAST NIGHT i WENT (MENTALLY) through all sorts of explanation

10:50 schestowitz-TR; also technically checked some

10:50 schestowitz-TR; I could not prove that anyone was unable to access

10:50 schestowitz-TR; so in a sense 'fixing' this is sort of moot

10:50 schestowitz-TR; but the worry was, maybe a sympton

10:50 schestowitz-TR; maybe we can just forget about it, knowing the DB is in OK shape

10:50 schestowitz-TR; there are all sorts of benign explanations I can come up with

10:50 Techrights-sec; ack

10:50 Techrights-sec; did clearing the cache help?

10:50 schestowitz-TR; I dont' regret double checking

10:50 schestowitz-TR; I wopuld have regretted not doing so if later, down the line,

10:50 schestowitz-TR; something happened

10:50 schestowitz-TR; there are almost 170k nodes for 18 years

10:51 schestowitz-TR; I have not tried yet

10:52 schestowitz-TR; but it seems to be catching up now

10:52 schestowitz-TR; there is a time diff between request and drupal db table updating

10:52 schestowitz-TR; for example tuxmachines.org/node/163592

10:52 schestowitz-TR; with www.

10:56 Techrights-sec; thanks

10:59 schestowitz-TR; ok, in tmax now

10:59 schestowitz-TR; see what happened around 11am yesterday

10:59 Techrights-sec; ok

10:59 Techrights-sec; [ERROR] /usr/libexec/mysqld: Sort aborted


11 AM, April 11

11:00 schestowitz-TR; we got those before

11:00 schestowitz-TR; but then innodb had a shutdown

11:02 Techrights-sec; also a "Warning" message too

11:02 Techrights-sec; happens a lot there

11:05 schestowitz-TR; maybe that can happen about once a month but without me noticing

11:05 schestowitz-TR; and maybe I make a big deal out of something that

11:05 schestowitz-TR; is a longstanding weakness

11:05 schestowitz-TR; 11am is not even close to the time I did rsync iirc

11:05 schestowitz-TR; but rsync does not go near the DB anyway

11:05 schestowitz-TR; so I thought this could only be a coincidence

11:05 schestowitz-TR; either way, running db checks once a month would have

11:05 schestowitz-TR; been good practice, which you did suggest in the past

11:05 schestowitz-TR; and general housekeeping for other stuff

11:05 schestowitz-TR; because we rarely study what really happens silently at

11:05 schestowitz-TR; the back end

11:05 Techrights-sec; rsync only affects the filesystem load

11:05 Techrights-sec; and maybe a tiny amount of CPU

11:16 *psydroid2 (~psydroid@memzbmehf99re.irc) has joined #boycottnovell

11:24 Techrights-sec; $ ssh boycottn@tuxmachines.org

11:24 Techrights-sec; Unable to negotiate with 23.161.112.115 port 22: no matching host key type found. Their offer: ssh-rsa,ssh-dss

11:24 Techrights-sec; that's a less good error involving fully deprecated, insecure algorithms without

11:24 Techrights-sec; viable alternatives. An upgrade is long overdue since that change was planned

11:24 Techrights-sec; and announced a very long time ago. Can sshd be pulled in from backports?

11:24 schestowitz-TR; one option is turn off ssh and go through the hypervisor, which is alpine

11:24 schestowitz-TR; but that would interfere with DB backups

11:27 Techrights-sec; That's more of a work-around than a real solution.

11:27 Techrights-sec; The backups need SSH

11:44 schestowitz-TR; easter coming up

11:44 schestowitz-TR; I will try to find a good moment to ask kaniini (working

11:44 schestowitz-TR; full time) for a new OS on which to build TM

11:44 schestowitz-TR; re TM,

11:44 schestowitz-TR; I lost a ton of time but have no regrets

11:44 schestowitz-TR; because so much time was poured into that database

11:44 schestowitz-TR; and I'd rather spend a day posting nothing

11:44 schestowitz-TR; just to be sure data is presevred OK

11:44 schestowitz-TR; from what I can gather, this is just optics (looks

11:44 schestowitz-TR; like low view count) but nothing worth messing about with

11:44 schestowitz-TR; and it seems related to innodb, as that started around then

11:44 schestowitz-TR; not the first time it happens based on mysql logs

11:44 Techrights-sec; Yes, prevention is important. At the risk of nagging, what is the timeline

11:44 Techrights-sec; for the OS upgrade?

11:46 schestowitz-TR; this week or weekend I will ask kaniini

11:46 schestowitz-TR; spinning off a new OS should not be too hard, then we can copy across 'www'

11:46 schestowitz-TR; and adding missing packages etc.

11:46 schestowitz-TR; the thing that might be a pain is expectation of old DB version

11:46 schestowitz-TR; but it's a test machine, so no downtime

11:46 Techrights-sec; Thanks!

11:46 Techrights-sec; Thursday - Monday are holidays in various places.

11:47 Techrights-sec; yes, I was just discussing this with rianne

11:47 Techrights-sec; btw, tuxmachines implies tux/linux, so no bsd for OS

11:47 schestowitz-TR; yes, I was just discussing this with rianne

11:47 schestowitz-TR; btw, tuxmachines implies tux/linux, so no bsd for OS

11:47 Techrights-sec; :P

11:48 Techrights-sec; not even GNU/kFreeBSD ?

11:49 schestowitz-TR; from what I remember it is no longer maintained

11:49 schestowitz-TR; figosdev says that devuan quality declined

11:49 schestowitz-TR; debian has a hurd version now

11:50 Techrights-sec; Too bad, it was an interesting experiment which probably helped the GNU pacakges

11:50 Techrights-sec; become more robust. OpenBSD benefits from supporting different hardware

11:50 Techrights-sec; architectures, so I figure the effects would be somewhat similar.

11:50 Techrights-sec; Hurd is getting closer but I don't think anyone is waiting for it or expecting

11:50 Techrights-sec; it any time soon.

11:53 schestowitz-TR; btw, re Daily Links

11:53 schestowitz-TR; at the moment you have commened out the "line" for IRC posting

11:54 schestowitz-TR; Last week I made some changes to speed up posting to IRC

11:54 schestowitz-TR; but

11:54 schestowitz-TR; I guess that's because you do not run interleave before uploading

11:54 schestowitz-TR; as that would add the tags

11:54 schestowitz-TR; and I realised a simple solution is,

11:54 schestowitz-TR; you comment out the tag part at your end

11:54 schestowitz-TR; and I comment out the "line" part

11:54 schestowitz-TR; oh,ok! I can sort it out fully at my end

11:54 schestowitz-TR; by passing it throught interleave when I retreieve it

11:54 schestowitz-TR; then again before posting/finalising

11:54 schestowitz-TR; leave iut at my end, I'll work on that now

11:54 Techrights-sec; yes

11:54 Techrights-sec; right, it would have to be run on your end or else be made much more complex

11:54 Techrights-sec; It'd probably help to be able to move most of the processing up to the TR server

11:54 Techrights-sec; yes

11:54 Techrights-sec; though two runs of interleave should be unnecessary


noon, April 11

12:00 schestowitz-TR; there was a severe storm here last week

12:00 schestowitz-TR; we had lots of work to do outside

12:00 schestowitz-TR; I am posting your links in TMK now

12:00 schestowitz-TR; will then work on the Daily Links flow and test that

12:00 schestowitz-TR; I will have to do TONS of patent catchup over Easter

12:00 schestowitz-TR; hopefully migration for TM also

12:01 Techrights-sec; I hope for migration. If there is any way to help or prepare, let me know.

12:05 schestowitz-TR; thanks, you can now see your links at top of TM

12:05 schestowitz-TR; the stats are vanity anyway

12:05 schestowitz-TR; I cannot see evidence of any real harm to data

12:05 schestowitz-TR; so I shall leave it alone

12:05 schestowitz-TR; there is a mismatch between apacghe and drupal counts

12:05 schestowitz-TR; also, of course none of this counts views via front page, RSS feed etc.

12:05 schestowitz-TR; so it's a case of assuring myself the DB was in a good state

12:05 schestowitz-TR; first with the backup

12:05 schestowitz-TR; then scanning it

12:05 schestowitz-TR; OS migration can ameliorate many things

12:05 schestowitz-TR; but it would also be a pain in transitiob

12:05 Techrights-sec; ack

12:05 Techrights-sec; yes

12:57 *psydroid2 has quit (connection closed)


1 PM, April 11

13:00 *psydroid2 (~psydroid@memzbmehf99re.irc) has joined #boycottnovell

13:29 schestowitz-TR; i am learning some perl along the way

13:29 schestowitz-TR; but I got stuck

13:29 schestowitz-TR; I am trying to push the "irc line" before <li>

13:29 schestowitz-TR; I tried loads of things

13:29 schestowitz-TR; if I add that version of the file to git, can you hack on it?

13:29 schestowitz-TR; i think it's a one-liner 'fix

13:29 schestowitz-TR; '

13:29 Techrights-sec; sure which file which line number?

13:30 schestowitz; git log --follow -p -- links-interleave-social-control-media.pl

13:30 schestowitz; I looked for hints in the old way social control media line was done

13:30 schestowitz; with it preceding the <li>

13:30 schestowitz; to no avail

13:32 Techrights-sec; sure, which script and which line number

13:33 schestowitz-TR; I've just added my little derivative

13:33 schestowitz-TR; it's already strung onto the file which fetches and then pre-processes daily links

13:34 schestowitz-TR; I tried loads of things to make the line go ahead of/before the <li>

13:36 Techrights-sec; cat -n ...

13:36 Techrights-sec; ack

13:36 schestowitz-TR; add-lines-for-irc.pl

13:36 schestowitz-TR; if you run it against any daily links batch

13:36 schestowitz-TR; you will see the oder

13:36 schestowitz-TR; *order

13:37 Techrights-sec; it's not in Git though.

13:37 Techrights-sec; where can it be found?

13:38 schestowitz-TR; there was a conflict i

13:38 schestowitz-TR; but I think it's there now under Links

13:38 schestowitz-TR; add*

13:41 schestowitz-TR; solved: the finalise [sic] stage

13:41 schestowitz-TR; just pushed timeline.sh

13:41 schestowitz-TR; the addition of lines is in the order order, so I tried in vain to fix that

13:41 Techrights-sec; The way the old tags were done for social control media start at line 102

13:41 Techrights-sec; in that script

13:43 schestowitz-TR; I looked at change history to find how it was done before ( NEWS part before <li>)

13:43 schestowitz-TR; but I suck at this aspect of perl

13:43 schestowitz-TR; or at perl in general

13:48 Techrights-sec; It's mainly XPath work though. That is why it is so important that the

13:48 Techrights-sec; files always validate.

13:48 Techrights-sec; $sc = HTML::Element->new('~literal',

13:48 Techrights-sec; 'text'=>"");

13:48 Techrights-sec; $anchor->preinsert($sc);

13:48 Techrights-sec; what was intended there? If the literal "" is empty the two lines can be removed

13:48 Techrights-sec; (line 111)

13:49 schestowitz-TR; yes, that was just me empyting the tag bit

13:49 schestowitz-TR; it remained in the other file, I didn't mean for this to even go to git,

13:49 schestowitz-TR; I just wanted a little derivative for irc line but no tag added

2 PM, April 11

14:00 schestowitz-TR; still the order wherein it's sandwiched

14:00 schestowitz-TR; Indenting was only an issue when I used diaspora

14:00 schestowitz-TR; because there, tabs and spaces were interpreted specially

14:00 schestowitz-TR; yes, what I struggled with was the order

14:00 Techrights-sec; do you want the comment before the LI element?

14:00 Techrights-sec; <!-- ... -->

14:00 Techrights-sec; <li>

14:00 Techrights-sec; <h5><a href ...

14:00 Techrights-sec; It's not linear but a tree.

14:00 Techrights-sec; Just a sec

14:02 schestowitz-TR; yes, I figured that out after wrongly assuming altering the order in the file would yield what I needed

14:02 schestowitz-TR; from where I look, inc. mastodon and diaspora, those network rot away along with FB, "Truth Social" [sic] [sic]

14:02 schestowitz-TR; and Twitter

14:02 schestowitz-TR; I will njever ever explored those again

14:02 Techrights-sec; ok try the one in Git?

14:06 schestowitz-TR; trying now

14:06 schestowitz-TR; btw, last night I did a video on how we'd respond to FUD

14:06 schestowitz-TR; better than before

14:06 schestowitz-TR; oh, puuuurfect!

14:06 schestowitz-TR; inc. indentation, which helps (but was not compatible with diaspora

14:06 schestowitz-TR; )

14:07 schestowitz-TR; I might migrate my account to another instance, but would not use it

14:07 schestowitz-TR; just to preserve the main pod presence

14:07 schestowitz-TR; it's replicated across

14:07 schestowitz-TR; but needs a "master"

14:07 schestowitz-TR; btw, I am making small changes to the file

14:07 schestowitz-TR; to avoid conmflict, I'm saying so, still testing the changes at my end before pushing

14:07 Techrights-sec; excellent

14:07 Techrights-sec; diaspora compatibility is no longer needed afaik

14:07 Techrights-sec; ack

14:07 Techrights-sec; ok

14:11 schestowitz-TR; done, and pushed

14:11 schestowitz-TR; BTW, the reason I was adding the extra newline was

14:11 schestowitz-TR; post-ff.sh assumes up to 5 lines belolw cursor

14:11 schestowitz-TR; so for short items it might grab a line from the next item

14:11 schestowitz-TR; I made it work in a ay that takes advantage of additional screen

14:11 schestowitz-TR; unlike before

14:11 schestowitz-TR; thanks for the help!!

14:11 schestowitz-TR; tuxmachinses works fine, rianne has just cleared her rss feeds

14:11 Techrights-sec; ok

14:11 Techrights-sec; looks workable

14:11 Techrights-sec; np

14:11 Techrights-sec; ack

14:20 schestowitz-TR; I've just cleared drupak cashe

14:20 Techrights-sec; ack

14:21 schestowitz-TR; tuxmachines admin access (just in case)

14:25 Techrights-sec; no https connection?

14:26 schestowitz-TR; this is one reason to move to another OS

14:26 schestowitz-TR; there are countless other issues

14:26 schestowitz-TR; which, based on what I see at work, is a common issue

14:26 schestowitz-TR; but typically hush-hush

14:26 schestowitz-TR; like ancient stuff from 2014 still going

14:26 Techrights-sec; ack

14:27 schestowitz-TR; keeping up wih things is expensive in the short term

14:27 schestowitz-TR; a lot of businesses kick the can down the road

14:27 schestowitz-TR; and threaten people not to talk about it

14:27 schestowitz-TR; even when they have very sensitive data

14:27 schestowitz-TR; and ESP. when so

14:36 Techrights-sec; tested login but passwd was not correct

14:37 Techrights-sec; yes, username xxxxxxxxx, but I have something missing or transposed in the passwd

14:38 schestowitz-TR; if you explore the admin panel of drupal in tuxmachines

14:38 schestowitz-TR; you will find it's neat and friendly

14:38 schestowitz-TR; not easy to break

14:38 schestowitz-TR; no JS afaik

14:38 schestowitz-TR; (not yet)

14:38 schestowitz-TR; you can even see recent activity in some page

14:38 schestowitz-TR; I am trying to understand if the "access" DB table was at fault

14:38 schestowitz-TR; yes, I checked 5 tiems over

14:38 schestowitz-TR; and tested on the new machines just now

14:38 schestowitz-TR; username

14:43 schestowitz-TR; to avoid false impression of low view counts

14:43 schestowitz-TR; I've meanwhile made those numbers visible only to admins

14:43 schestowitz-TR; I checked the password many times, I will enter it by hand now just to be sure

14:48 schestowitz-TR; when I enter it manually I fail

14:48 schestowitz-TR; not when I copy

14:48 schestowitz-TR; so maybe soe phantom char somewhere

14:48 schestowitz-TR; I am going to to paste it in tmux terminal

14:54 schestowitz-TR; I pasted with carriage return by accident

14:54 schestowitz-TR; not for that one needs root bash_history

14:54 schestowitz-TR; so no worries, no needf to history -c

14:54 schestowitz-TR; oh wait

14:54 schestowitz-TR; the 3 trailing lll are wrong

14:54 schestowitz-TR; I was testinmg to see if it was really an l

14:55 Techrights-sec; ack

14:55 Techrights-sec; possible

14:55 Techrights-sec; ack

14:57 schestowitz-TR; hopefully that will work not, with it being copied

14:57 schestowitz-TR; I'm going to work my way through quiterss now

14:57 schestowitz-TR; the "microsoft loves linux" charade slowed down a bit

14:57 schestowitz-TR; so it's meaning less "strife" and more positive stuf


3 PM, April 11

15:04 schestowitz-TR; it fails when I copy it from what you paste

15:04 schestowitz-TR; but works when I copy-paste from my notes

15:05 Techrights-sec; xxxx

15:05 Techrights-sec; "xxxx" is wrong

15:05 Techrights-sec; ?can you past your notes here again, do not transcribe, just paste

15:05 Techrights-sec; there must be a difference somewhere

15:06 schestowitz-TR; can you see it in tmux?

15:07 Techrights-sec; looking

15:07 Techrights-sec; 4 and 5 were transposed

15:07 Techrights-sec; yep, works,

15:08 schestowitz-TR; I think I know why

15:08 schestowitz-TR; my bad

15:08 schestowitz-TR; I changed that

15:08 schestowitz-TR; to keep out you know who

15:08 schestowitz-TR; not because of argument

15:08 schestowitz-TR; it's just a matter of secrity

15:08 schestowitz-TR; after 8 years

15:08 schestowitz-TR; so I have in my notes two passwords

15:08 schestowitz-TR; they look almost the same

15:13 Techrights-sec; in 2 years, TM will be 29

15:13 Techrights-sec; ^20

15:13 Techrights-sec; logging out so as not to break anything by accident

15:13 Techrights-sec; login worked

15:16 schestowitz-TR; I've just looked at early IRC logs.

15:16 schestowitz-TR; I started in 2008

15:16 schestowitz-TR; many early users were from usenet

15:16 Techrights-sec; interesting. Usenet was great but could not survive a concerted onslaught by

15:16 Techrights-sec; corporate shills, spammers, and astroturfers

15:21 schestowitz-TR; I am going to change TM password now

15:21 schestowitz-TR; knowing that oiver the years

15:21 schestowitz-TR; many http connections were made to that account

15:21 schestowitz-TR; try

15:23 Techrights-sec; ack

15:23 Techrights-sec; trying

15:23 Techrights-sec; it worked

15:23 schestowitz-TR; total irc logs for irc in my xchat directory: 2.6 gb

15:23 schestowitz-TR; going back to 2008

15:34 Techrights-sec; is there a standard format for the iRC logs or does each chat client have its own?

15:34 Techrights-sec; ok

15:35 schestowitz-TR; good question

15:35 schestowitz-TR; kaniiniw ould know best

15:35 schestowitz-TR; as he made the prpottocol in part

15:35 schestowitz-TR; bbut I think there is no uniform format

15:35 schestowitz-TR; which in turn begets issues

15:35 schestowitz-TR; and this is why I ustill use the 3 forks of xchat

15:41 Techrights-sec; maybe the can be normalized to work with just the latest one?

15:42 schestowitz-TR; I struggle to even keep up with the story of forks, bracnhes and shootofss of the projects

15:42 schestowitz-TR; they have UI and feature variation

15:48 Techrights-sec; yes

15:57 schestowitz-TR; [15:56] <techrights-news> But Bitcoin was never about anonymity anyway https://www.wired.com/story/tracers-in-the-dark-welcome-to-video-crypto-anonymity-myth/ so now Conde Nast (Wall Street) associated this with assault on children? Even though it's not about privacy at all?

15:57 schestowitz-TR; Schneier links to tons of Conde Nast lately

15:57 schestowitz-TR; even outright lies

15:58 schestowitz-TR; Big Banks and Apple and the UK gov. uses the same strategy

15:58 schestowitz-TR; I don't have to be a bitcoin fan to call BS

15:59 schestowitz-TR; as if pedos don't pay with cash or even card or even standing order

15:59 schestowitz-TR; that's like Microsoft pretending security is a "open source" issue


4 PM, April 11

16:00 Techrights-sec; I was just looking at his blog and also was disappointed. Hes still at the EFF

16:00 Techrights-sec; and should have had a more positive influence than he has had.

16:00 Techrights-sec; he seems to just shill for the most part in recent years

16:00 Techrights-sec; the governement via lobbyists and proxies, has started playing along with M$ and

16:00 Techrights-sec; come down on the Java library's users but have left M$ deployments uncriticized

16:00 schestowitz-TR; he also links a lot to FDBI, USDOJ etc.

16:00 schestowitz-TR; even the whole RUSHA thing

16:00 schestowitz-TR; If I wanted that, I know wqhere ti look

16:00 Techrights-sec; ack

16:04 schestowitz-TR; well such if life

16:04 schestowitz-TR; you try to do the right thing

16:04 schestowitz-TR; it does not pay well

16:04 schestowitz-TR; not as much as being a bastard anyway

16:04 schestowitz-TR; I guess this is universally and perpetually valid/applicable

16:04 schestowitz-TR; meanwhile, Michel wrote some posts about this

16:04 schestowitz-TR; like the Microsoft-centric "ransomware" task force

16:04 schestowitz-TR; and how it was composed

16:04 Techrights-sec; probably

16:04 Techrights-sec; it should be composed of teams of people with drives for /data/ backup and USB

16:04 Techrights-sec; sticks containing Linux Mint installation images.

16:12 schestowitz-TR; LMDE (latest) is quite nice

16:12 schestowitz-TR; going to make a teapot

16:12 schestowitz-TR; catching up with rss today

16:12 schestowitz-TR; we got lolts done

16:12 schestowitz-TR; even if mostly code and lots of testingh

16:12 Techrights-sec; yes

16:12 Techrights-sec; I'm not sure how many 1000 RSS feeds are in QuiteRSS here.

16:12 schestowitz-TR; which was well oversue and weill pay dividends

16:17 schestowitz-TR; as time goes by, to get x new items

16:17 schestowitz-TR; you need yx2 or yx3 feeds

16:17 schestowitz-TR; not sure how to count planets

16:17 schestowitz-TR; as I keep saying, planets are dangerous

16:17 schestowitz-TR; they are censorship mechanisms

16:17 schestowitz-TR; like social control media

16:17 schestowitz-TR; best to also avoid mitm like feedburner

16:17 schestowitz-TR; for reasons

16:17 schestowitz-TR; that became apparent thisd year

16:17 schestowitz-TR; people assume they follow you because "you are in the planewt"

16:17 schestowitz-TR; but that's like thinking the same because "follow you in twitteer"

16:17 schestowitz-TR; twitter is worse because it doesn't even pretend to be neutral anymore

16:17 schestowitz-TR; it's curated

16:17 schestowitz-TR; same for gulagtube

16:17 schestowitz-TR; which changed its reminder emails like a decade ago

16:17 schestowitz-TR; so it gets deto decide ahat you 'need' to watch

16:17 schestowitz-TR; not what you asked for

16:18 Techrights-sec; yes it has been like that

16:18 Techrights-sec; I don't track any planets for that reason, they are a total waste of time

16:18 Techrights-sec; BBBBBBBBB

16:18 Techrights-sec; politicians mistakenly seem to think that they can use social control media

16:18 Techrights-sec; when it is the other way around and they actually end up losing

16:20 schestowitz-TR; bat and switch

16:20 schestowitz-TR; you are not gulag

16:21 schestowitz-TR; you are not the admin of the plenet

16:21 schestowitz-TR; heck, the planet can be taken down

16:21 schestowitz-TR; for someone else's reasons

16:21 schestowitz-TR; plenet is like a web-based rss reader you merely subscriibe to]

16:21 schestowitz-TR; and so it sort of defeats the purpose or raison detre of the protpcols

16:21 schestowitz-TR; it's likle saying, I'll subscribe only to CNN

16:21 schestowitz-TR; where the "Planet CNN" is just the list of CNN members of stuff

16:21 schestowitz-TR; while CCNN still employs them

16:21 schestowitz-TR; that's what planets ghenerally are

16:21 schestowitz-TR; sans the salary

16:21 Techrights-sec; yes, the planets end up usually being a misuse of the protocol, at least

16:21 Techrights-sec; going against the original purpose of having a distributed, decentralized

16:21 Techrights-sec; service.

16:24 schestowitz-TR; you know, the most bizarre thing is,.

16:24 schestowitz-TR; nobody else that I know of even speaks about it

16:24 schestowitz-TR; same for video hosting

16:24 schestowitz-TR; they say move from platform A to B

16:24 schestowitz-TR; or gmail to...

16:24 schestowitz-TR; but they seem to be missing the point

16:24 schestowitz-TR; don't get me started on mastodon lol!

16:24 schestowitz-TR; I lost 3 accounts

16:24 schestowitz-TR; tuxmachines lost 1, has one left

16:24 schestowitz-TR; since it started in 2017

16:24 schestowitz-TR; so 80% are dead in 5 years

16:34 Techrights-sec; Digg sucked, they censors ODF material from the start

16:34 schestowitz-TR; take my word for it

16:34 schestowitz-TR; I startted with Digg

16:34 schestowitz-TR; while also on usenet

16:35 schestowitz-TR; on the prawl

16:35 schestowitz-TR; this whole phenomenon

16:35 schestowitz-TR; Reddit included(coexisted with Digg)

16:35 schestowitz-TR; is mostly propped up by a false, faked perception iof traffic

16:35 schestowitz-TR; they optimise for this delusion

16:35 schestowitz-TR; likle wall street with its valuation bubbles

16:35 schestowitz-TR; many instances die because their admis (like drew devault 2 years ago, then

16:35 schestowitz-TR; distro.toot) see that it's a waste of their time

16:36 Techrights-sec; Reddit is a scam perpetrated by Conde Nast

16:36 Techrights-sec; It is for marketing and mass manipulation of opinion regarding ICT

16:36 Techrights-sec; When /. took a big downturn as aftermath of sale to scum, Reddit lied their

16:36 Techrights-sec; way forth to a user base. Now they just delete and shadowban their way towards

16:37 Techrights-sec; the M$ agenda. Nothing good can be said about Reddit

16:37 schestowitz-TR; we had a long irc discussion aboout redditr this past weekend

16:37 Techrights-sec; what was the conclusion there?

16:38 schestowitz-TR; there were several, but it's 'turfed basically

16:38 schestowitz-TR; and those who call out thwe BS get vanished

16:38 schestowitz-TR; and gaslit

16:38 Techrights-sec; yep

16:42 schestowitz-TR; DT has a love/hate relationship with lesser alts

16:42 schestowitz-TR; same as lunduke

16:42 schestowitz-TR; "hey I'm moving to gemini, this is great"

16:42 schestowitz-TR; "hey let's do mastodon, self-hosted"

16:42 schestowitz-TR; "hey, let's leave youtube"

16:42 schestowitz-TR; but they later come back where they came

16:42 schestowitz-TR; and each time with less impact than before

16:42 schestowitz-TR; and the principles are severely compromised

16:42 schestowitz-TR; reinforcing this idea that you cannot truly quit

16:42 schestowitz-TR; lunduke ended up being canceled mainly in twitter afaik

16:42 schestowitz-TR; he should have stayed away the first time around

16:42 schestowitz-TR; it's some dumb think he said after getting infected

16:42 Techrights-sec; I only listen to about half of his videos

16:42 Techrights-sec; Lunduke has vanished from the net.

16:42 Techrights-sec; Dt is not 100% reliable

16:42 Techrights-sec; yes he kept trying to come back to twitter, I suspect addiction

16:42 Techrights-sec; I wonder how many IQ points the virus took out of him.

16:46 schestowitz-TR; ^_^

16:46 schestowitz-TR; Lunduke said he needed to come back to Twitter after his Jan 1 2020 resolutioln

16:46 schestowitz-TR; for COVID UPDATE!!!

16:46 schestowitz-TR; Yes, nothing except Twitter disseminates information about COVID!!

16:46 schestowitz-TR; ^_^

16:46 schestowitz-TR; "I neweed twitter back!!@ FOR MY SAFEWTY!!"

16:46 schestowitz-TR; (and my family's)

16:46 schestowitz-TR; you and I talked back thenm how dumb the (non)logic of that was

16:46 schestowitz-TR; her's like my boss lying to clients all the time

16:46 schestowitz-TR; tro save face

16:46 schestowitz-TR; I want to jump in and tell him

16:46 schestowitz-TR; "come on, just be honest to them"

16:46 schestowitz-TR; but... they're not THOSE kidnds of peopople

16:46 schestowitz-TR; management seems to be 90% bullishit

16:46 schestowitz-TR; 10% substance

16:46 schestowitz-TR; anmd this is what you can be promoted for

16:46 schestowitz-TR; because the people deciding youir promotion are 99% bullshit

16:47 schestowitz-TR; 1% subnstance

16:47 schestowitz-TR; so you can join them, and work your way close to 100%

16:47 Techrights-sec; and filtered algorithmically, the rest are gullible fools manipulated by

16:47 Techrights-sec; aforementioned algorithmic sorting

16:48 schestowitz-TR; I think we should adopt words like "herded"

16:48 schestowitz-TR; ratjher than manipulated

16:48 schestowitz-TR; because that helps convey how people like Musk and Gates perceive

16:48 schestowitz-TR; such platforms

16:48 schestowitz-TR; herding consumers and peasants

16:48 schestowitz-TR; sharecropping

16:49 Techrights-sec; farming, herding, etc

16:49 Techrights-sec; yes, sharecropping. though those trying to build services and products using

16:49 Techrights-sec; M$ "technologies" are closer to sharecroppers.

16:50 schestowitz-TR; they go into debt faster, in a bigger way, and are less likely to get out of it

16:50 schestowitz-TR; because of long-ter m liabilities or TCO

16:50 schestowitz-TR; and the pace of losses increases more rapidly

16:50 schestowitz-TR; that's why many such businesses fail

16:50 schestowitz-TR; if they grow, the costs scale badly

16:50 schestowitz-TR; like patent royalties

16:52 Techrights-sec; yep -- sharecropping

16:52 Techrights-sec; yes, though the food prices are going to increase greatly several times during

16:52 Techrights-sec; the next year as the various crises make their effects known

16:52 Techrights-sec; ack

16:54 schestowitz-TR; rianne went out to hunt for bargain fods

16:54 schestowitz-TR; we reckon the best way to prepare is to lessen the expenses

16:54 schestowitz-TR; esp. now that food prices go up

16:54 schestowitz-TR; the energy bill we got today was almost 100 for the month

16:54 schestowitz-TR; gas+elc, 2 people, 50 each

16:54 schestowitz-TR; it was about 60 6 years ago

16:54 schestowitz-TR; but we also showered in the gym

16:54 schestowitz-TR; so that's still a steep increases

16:54 schestowitz-TR; for families wqith kids and heating it can be 250 a month

16:55 schestowitz-TR; you do of course realise many energy companies and food growers were subsidised by taxpayers up

16:55 schestowitz-TR; until now to keep the peasants from revolting

16:55 schestowitz-TR; it was a hidden tax

16:55 schestowitz-TR; weheat, oil etc.

16:55 schestowitz-TR; with growping fianancial liabilities they can no longer hide th e tru cost of living

16:55 Techrights-sec; ack

16:56 schestowitz-TR; "our system is so great... we keep borrowing money from taxpayers to buy cheap food and energy for them

16:56 schestowitz-TR; and to purify water we need energy toio"

16:56 schestowitz-TR; "we let them fly cheaply this way so everyone gets their nlifestyle weekend flight to spain"

16:57 *DaemonFC (~daemonfc@857feqnpqcr82.irc) has joined #boycottnovell

16:57 Techrights-sec; yes, they cannot hide the true costs of living and recent astronomical increases

16:57 Techrights-sec; but they do have social control media to shift blame to designated targets

16:57 Techrights-sec; note the current French elections in that regards

16:57 Techrights-sec; flights ought to be vastly reduced, since there is virtually no other lifestyle

16:57 Techrights-sec; change which one can make, even with great effort, to compensate for and offset

16:57 Techrights-sec; the environmental damage that even a single flight causes

16:59 schestowitz-TR; I've not left the country since berlin (my birthday, 018) adn have not left the city since 2020 (Sheffield)

16:59 schestowitz-TR; to rianne it's starting to get a little difficult after 2 years

16:59 schestowitz-TR; in 2 mins we get the latest corona numbers

16:59 schestowitz-TR; I heard on the radio this morning (yes, decided to torture myself with FM)

16:59 schestowitz-TR; that there si a sharp increase

16:59 schestowitz-TR; so even the national broadcasters quiut pretending


5 PM, April 11

17:01 schestowitz-TR; I envy people who manage to avoid flying

17:01 schestowitz-TR; trhere is often pressure from family members iof not shitty friends

17:01 schestowitz-TR; who still think "phone ownership" or "drtiving" or "flying FAR away"

17:01 schestowitz-TR; is a measure of social status, success etc.

17:01 schestowitz-TR; now every janitor has some "smart" phone

17:01 schestowitz-TR; not that janitors have a "lesser" job

17:03 Techrights-sec; it's a rather important job and about 10^6 times more useful than MBAs and most

17:03 Techrights-sec; managers, futhermore unlike those other two it is honest work

17:03 Techrights-sec; unfortunately it no longer pays a living wage despite its necessity in a

17:03 Techrights-sec; well-functioning society

17:03 schestowitz-TR; elop got a BONUS!

17:03 Techrights-sec; his bonus was contingent upon destroying the company and its product line

17:05 schestowitz-TR; to hell with "products"

17:05 schestowitz-TR; that SOB destroyed the lives of many families of engineers

17:05 schestowitz-TR; who had done productive things

17:05 Techrights-sec; the lives of a great many employees were overturned as a result of his

17:05 schestowitz-TR; not just on phoneres

17:05 schestowitz-TR; but plent of telecom innovation for decades

17:05 schestowitz-TR; befoire elop even went to college

17:08 schestowitz-TR; some went to jolla and made sailfishOPS

17:08 schestowitz-TR; but Microsoft basically bought the powwefful brand

17:08 schestowitz-TR; so people are not likely to go to stores asking for "jollo"ade anotherddddddddff

17:09 schestowitz-TR; sorru my upstream went dire

17:09 schestowitz-TR; maybe it's the pi changing tc settings :-)

17:09 Techrights-sec; one of the apparent intended side effects of gutting the company was to

17:09 Techrights-sec; turn those skilled, experienced staff out onto the street

17:09 Techrights-sec; what remains is farcically hierarchicaly and ossified, not to mention there

17:09 Techrights-sec; are *very* few remanin pockets of skilled staff

17:10 schestowitz-TR; yahoo and novell used to make products

17:10 schestowitz-TR; yahoo still had my geocities site

17:10 schestowitz-TR; when microsoft and icahn started attacking

17:12 Techrights-sec; Icahn and M$ went after Yahoo to damage, among other things, FreeBSD

17:14 schestowitz-TR; (checking latest covid data, to write report and then share it ith riuanne)

17:14 schestowitz-TR; (billBC is not informing, it's propaganda for "the economy" (riuch peopole))

17:14 schestowitz-TR; netflix still uses freebsd

17:14 schestowitz-TR; and afaik the ceo or a co-=founder had come from microsoft

17:14 Techrights-sec; that is because it is a company of microsofters and they 1) have to have

17:14 Techrights-sec; a working infrastructute, 2) would go to the most extreme lengths to avoid

17:14 Techrights-sec; GNU/Linux. They'd use NetBSD if they had to, or even Haiku, just as long

17:15 Techrights-sec; as they can avoid GNU

17:15 schestowitz-TR; hotmail did the same even before being hijacked by microsoft

17:15 schestowitz-TR; where is hiootmail today?>

17:19 Techrights-sec; hotmail started on freebsd but M$ tried several times to port it to NT

17:19 Techrights-sec; I think the 4th or 5th attempt kind of worked but by that time they had learned

17:19 Techrights-sec; to be quiet about the migration. Though they never learn, such as what happened

17:19 Techrights-sec; to Sampo Pankki in Finland way back in the 00's They shot their mouths off

17:19 Techrights-sec; and then the migration failed fast and hard and the outages lasted months

17:19 schestowitz-TR; holy shit!

17:19 schestowitz-TR; over 500 deathss

17:19 schestowitz-TR; afer they added another 2700'missing' deaths last week

17:19 schestowitz-TR; 45% increase in one week

17:19 schestowitz-TR; this is worse thasn in 2020

17:19 schestowitz-TR; "go watch football, lads"

19:08 Techrights-sec; radiation from a neighbor's wifi or appliance. If the former, you can scan for

19:08 Techrights-sec; wireless networks and check if there is *anything* on a channel other than

19:08 Techrights-sec; 1, 6, or 11. If so, then that's probably the cause. If you are on the 5 GHz

19:08 Techrights-sec; band, which your should be, then the RF question is harder to solve.

19:08 Techrights-sec; I see

19:08 Techrights-sec; sudo iwlist wlan0 scan | less

19:08 Techrights-sec; sudo iwlist wlan0 scan | grep -Ei 'channel|address|signal|essid'

19:10 Techrights-sec; The raspberry pi can handle 5 GHz channels. Not sure about the older hardware

19:10 Techrights-sec; you might have though.

19:14 schestowitz-TR; I cannot believe I am back to this

19:14 schestowitz-TR; for over a year it was fine

19:14 schestowitz-TR; ipfs is def. not the culprit

19:14 schestowitz-TR; I will check another way

19:16 Techrights-sec; are there other wifi networks in range?

19:22 Techrights-sec; try changing your 2.4GHz channel from 11 to 6 or 1 and your 5GHz channel

19:22 Techrights-sec; from 36 to anything else

19:23 schestowitz-TR; wait, here is the stramnnge thing

19:23 schestowitz-TR; the pi can get megabytes going

19:23 schestowitz-TR; the other machines barely anything

19:23 schestowitz-TR; I want to try and see a few thins

19:24 *DaemonFC has quit (Quit: Leaving)

19:32 schestowitz-TR; I can lower the pi from about 4mb/min to 400k a miniute

19:32 schestowitz-TR; but the other machines are still slow

19:32 schestowitz-TR; I don't understand why it can get those rates at all

19:32 schestowitz-TR; even the pi making outbound connection seems rather slow

19:32 Techrights-sec; /tmp/scan.log

19:32 Techrights-sec; are the slow machines on 2.4GHz ?

19:32 Techrights-sec; strength has nothing to do with interference two strong signals on overlapping

19:32 Techrights-sec; channels will destroy eachother

19:33 schestowitz-TR; same outcome also on rianne's laptop

19:33 schestowitz-TR; 2400

19:33 schestowitz-TR; strong signal strength

19:35 Techrights-sec; try changing your 2.4GHz channel from 11 to 6 or 1 and your 5GHz channel

19:35 Techrights-sec; from 36 to anything else

19:37 schestowitz-TR; wish me luckj

19:38 schestowitz-TR; changed settings

19:38 schestowitz-TR; may need to reconnect

19:38 schestowitz-TR; don;'t reply in ther meantime

19:38 schestowitz-TR; as much may follow in terms of chores

19:38 Techrights-sec; also turn off "band steering" while in there, if it is on

19:49 schestowitz-TR; this is a latest test

19:49 schestowitz-TR; 2.4 ch6, 5 ch40

19:49 schestowitz-TR; \\]

19:49 schestowitz-TR; still high latency and not much bandwidth

19:49 Techrights-sec; seems a little more responsive though on the SSH connection to the RPi

19:49 Techrights-sec; but not much

19:49 Techrights-sec; ls

19:55 schestowitz-TR; so far I see no real improvements

19:55 schestowitz-TR; it all just started out of nowhere about 4 hours ago

19:55 schestowitz-TR; all the machines are still slow

19:55 schestowitz-TR; and with some I can see the channel changes

19:55 schestowitz-TR; so OI assume it helps rule out signal interference

19:56 Techrights-sec; from other channels, yes, but there are a great many other sources of RF

19:57 Techrights-sec; trouble

19:57 Techrights-sec; microwaves, etc

20:00 schestowitz-TR; gn

20:00 schestowitz-TR; I will get to the bottom of it, eventually and find some way to remain almost productive

20:46 schestowitz-TR; i found the issue

20:46 schestowitz-TR; it was

20:46 schestowitz-TR; my fault

20:46 schestowitz-TR; i opened very old irc log files

20:46 schestowitz-TR; then saved to one

20:46 schestowitz-TR; 14 years of it

20:46 schestowitz-TR; as a result

20:46 schestowitz-TR; the tail that does irc status

20:46 schestowitz-TR; basically tailed like 130mb into it

20:46 schestowitz-TR; it tries to upload this file every 5 minutes

20:46 schestowitz-TR; so you can guess what this resulted in

20:46 schestowitz-TR; should i change back the channels

20:46 schestowitz-TR; or is it OK to keep them as they are?

20:46 schestowitz-TR; any benefit to this pair of settings?
