05:05 schestowitz-TR; ota
05:05 schestowitz-TR; a) due to a little irc glitch the logs will have double lines (better than missing ones)
05:05 schestowitz-TR; b) I had to manually rereun some jobs, I hope the ipfs output is correct (I think so)
05:05 schestowitz-TR; c) on TR some gz files are made separate from source dump, which means homedir is left with
05:05 schestowitz-TR; very large files, like 8gb for each dump of wordpress. today's gz files are OK.
05:54 Techrights-sec; se Git
05:54 Techrights-sec; ^see
05:55 schestowitz-TR; thanks, got it
05:55 schestowitz-TR; the issue is already resolved
05:55 schestowitz-TR; we had it before when migrating from one server to another
05:55 schestowitz-TR; and both logged to the same file
05:55 schestowitz-TR; having such a tool is very handy
05:55 schestowitz-TR; around 2am my connection only to TR got dropped for a few minutes
05:55 schestowitz-TR; I had to do lots of manual work as a result
05:56 Techrights-sec; I saw no disruption in the monitory program, aside from the usual aroudn 03:40

05:57 -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-schestowitz.com Blog Archive Time for Freedom of Information (FOI) Request to Divulge Data on COVID-19
05:57 schestowitz-TR; I am thinking of contacting an MP soon
05:57 schestowitz-TR; to keep this portal updated
05:57 schestowitz-TR; it should not be expensive to do
05:57 schestowitz-TR; and it is essential for scrutiny
05:58 Techrights-sec; what was the cause of the break in connectivity?
05:59 schestowitz-TR; I checked my router, no issue here
05:59 schestowitz-TR; it seems like some other people also dropped the connection around that time
05:59 schestowitz-TR; maybe some routing issue across the Atlantic
05:59 schestowitz-TR; but this was a reminder of the high cost of such outages ESPECIALLY around 2-4AM when there are racing
05:59 schestowitz-TR; conditions and several jobs running at certain times
05:59 schestowitz-TR; *race conditions
06:00 Techrights-sec; acck
06:00 Techrights-sec; yes
06:04 schestowitz-TR; be patient as later today I might know if I can do TR full-time
06:04 schestowitz-TR; rianne already has a job contingency
06:04 schestowitz-TR; not confirmed or anything, but we can cope OK
06:05 Techrights-sec; ack
06:05 Techrights-sec; is it ok to deduplicate the four logs from yesterday?
06:05 Techrights-sec; ok
06:05 Techrights-sec; ok
06:05 schestowitz-TR; the chain of workflow meant that there are already text versions and gmi versions,
06:05 schestowitz-TR; with them in ipfs and a hash
06:05 schestowitz-TR; but for html we canoverrise what's on the main server, I suppose
06:10 Techrights-sec; ok deduplication of yesterday's four HTML IRC logs is done
06:10 Techrights-sec; no the dependencies are not there until the OS upgrade takes place
06:10 Techrights-sec; had to download, process, upload. kept copies ofthe originals
06:11 schestowitz-TR; just had to pay the annual fee (not much) for scifitness -- a site over a decade old
06:11 schestowitz-TR; originally made as a contigency for my job
06:11 schestowitz-TR; :-)
06:11 schestowitz-TR; oh, good
06:11 schestowitz-TR; did yoyu run it on the server side?
06:11 schestowitz-TR; yes, site updates would be like a "job" if I leave the current one
06:11 schestowitz-TR; TR is a much bigger job than TM
06:14 schestowitz-TR; the duplication started around the time I updated and then rebooted kde neon, for the first time in a month
06:14 schestowitz-TR; their update process reminds me of Windows
06:14 schestowitz-TR; I saw something had gone wrong when the output report file showed 1.7 MB html file for TR
06:14 schestowitz-TR; and I knew it was too big to be sane
06:14 schestowitz-TR; I did not detect it until this morning because my monitoring script already use uniq
06:14 schestowitz-TR; did you watch my short video about neon?
06:14 Techrights-sec; I should look at Neon some time
06:14 Techrights-sec; no I've seen few, text works best for me so I see the summaries in Gemini for
06:14 Techrights-sec; the most part
06:16 schestowitz-TR; to be fair toBT, so far this year the connection has been very stable
06:16 schestowitz-TR; as long as they don's ilently patch and reboot I'm OK
06:16 schestowitz-TR; sometimes I check the status before going to bed, to see if they sent a patch, as they reboot about 8 hours later
06:16 schestowitz-TR; then, DNS is the main issue as gemini.techrights.org points to the wrong address
06:16 schestowitz-TR; (aside from other issues)
06:27 *DaemonFC has quit (Quit: Leaving)
06:27 Techrights-sec; Some ISPs don't have the competency to run even a DNS server and lack the
06:27 Techrights-sec; paltry technical knowlege to know why it is important to have it close
06:27 Techrights-sec; to the end user
06:29 schestowitz-TR; me connects to gemini.techrights.org (my rsspi upstairs
06:29 schestowitz-TR; me looks up DNS
06:29 schestowitz-TR; me sends a packet across the Atlantic
06:29 schestowitz-TR; Gulag reponds with an IP address
06:29 schestowitz-TR; oh, wait, that's home
06:29 schestowitz-TR; me connects to MY OWN HOME
06:29 schestowitz-TR; Thanks, Gulag!
06:30 Techrights-sec; the DNS listed on the RPi is your home BT router which probably serves as
06:30 Techrights-sec; a cache too
06:30 Techrights-sec; at least as far as the outgoing connections go
06:31 schestowitz-TR; yes, I was exaggerating a bit
06:31 schestowitz-TR; just checked resolv.conf
06:31 schestowitz-TR; 192.168.x by default
06:31 schestowitz-TR; and some ipv6 address otherwise
06:32 schestowitz-TR; I assume it's put there by the ISP when connecting
06:32 schestowitz-TR; let's see where that us...
06:32 schestowitz-TR; *is
06:36 schestowitz; IP AddressCountryRegionCity

06:36 schestowitz; ISPOrganizationLatitudeLongitude
06:36 schestowitz; British Telecommunications PLCNot Available51.5085-0.1257
06:37 Techrights-sec; It's put there by DHCP most likely.
06:41 schestowitz-TR; gulg
06:41 schestowitz-TR; ssh port open on that
06:41 schestowitz-TR; and it's definitely not my address
06:41 Techrights-sec; role: BT Corporate Registry
06:41 Techrights-sec; address: British Telecommunications
06:41 Techrights-sec; address: 81 Newgate Street
06:41 Techrights-sec; address: London GB
06:41 Techrights-sec; for 2a00:23c4:c383:c901:e680:7c16:cbc6:b594
06:43 schestowitz-TR; Assuming I did this correctly, at least I should be happy not to have an ISP that relays DNS lookups
06:43 schestowitz-TR; across an ocean to foreign spying companies
06:43 schestowitz-TR; it seems like it links to the router, which then does its own thing for DNS
06:43 schestowitz-TR; maybe hidden away
06:44 Techrights-sec; is it your BT router? It is one hop from your RPi
06:44 Techrights-sec; SSH is usedthere
06:44 Techrights-sec; yes if you look in the router's web admin interface it may tell where it is
06:44 Techrights-sec; forwarding DNS requests to
06:46 schestowitz; " To use a dynamic domain name system (DNS) service, you'll first need to register with a service provider. The service provider will send you the information that you'll need to set up your Hub (including your service username, password and host name). "
06:47 schestowitz-TR; OK, 81.139.57.100
06:47 schestowitz-TR; and 81.139.57.100
06:47 schestowitz-TR; so unless I change this at the client end, it will default to the router, which uses that
06:47 schestowitz-TR; oops
06:47 schestowitz-TR; the second is 56, not 57
06:47 schestowitz-TR; the web interfact does not let me change that
06:47 Techrights-sec; ack
07:10 schestowitz-TR; the external drive on the pi started working really hard
07:10 schestowitz-TR; I unmount'ed it
07:10 schestowitz-TR; and we put the drive back in thr drawer
07:10 schestowitz-TR; will swap over to another external anyway
07:10 schestowitz-TR; good practice regardless
07:10 schestowitz-TR; a bit extra physical effort
07:10 schestowitz-TR; gemini served 5k pages in the first 7 hours of the day and other crucial things run off it
07:10 schestowitz-TR; inc. rianne's working notes and mine
07:10 schestowitz-TR; if we leave the job, rianne's noc pi with 2 VPNs can be repurpsosed for something else
07:13 schestowitz-TR; note to internal, cannot verify yet: seems like spamnil now pays for spambots or clickbots
07:13 schestowitz-TR; to boost the "views" of older vdideos
07:13 schestowitz-TR; no other explanation given the pattern I observed last night
07:13 schestowitz-TR; but it is hard to prove except by patterns
07:13 Techrights-sec; could be
07:13 schestowitz-TR; I know suh "services" exist for typical social control media
07:13 schestowitz-TR; so gulagtube is likely covered tio
07:13 schestowitz-TR; swapnil cannot market himself if the "guests" see the videos are viewed by almost nobody
07:14 Techrights-sec; it would be somethig that would match his style
07:15 schestowitz-TR; his web site, tfir.io, I still observe and sometimes mention in IRC
07:15 schestowitz-TR; they have started hiding # of hits
07:15 schestowitz-TR; because it was embarassing
07:15 schestowitz-TR; I remember the counts in Muktware, more than 10 times higher
07:15 schestowitz-TR; that site now boosts the worst of the worst
07:15 schestowitz-TR; with the token "ontopic" thing
07:15 schestowitz-TR; so you know it's all sponored junk
07:16 schestowitz-TR; me cehecks
07:16 schestowitz-TR; a) linux dot com
07:16 schestowitz-TR; 2) tfir
07:16 schestowitz-TR; c) gulagtube for patterns
07:23 schestowitz-TR; 2 means b
07:23 schestowitz-TR; seems you need JS to see the "eye" thing
07:23 schestowitz-TR; wow, 24 views. Well done, googlebot
07:24 schestowitz-TR; a) linuc.vom became a tribute to the dead CTO
07:24 schestowitz-TR; I don't want to poke fun
07:24 schestowitz-TR; he looks just a little over my age
07:24 schestowitz-TR; they run a "memorial fund" for his kids' education
07:24 schestowitz-TR; he seems to have 2 young kids
07:24 schestowitz-TR; wikipedia says LF has 150 employees now
07:24 schestowitz-TR; they run like a company
07:24 schestowitz-TR; SJVN menions the death
07:24 schestowitz-TR; but no details on where or how he died
07:24 schestowitz-TR; based on the words, maybe tragic circumstances
07:24 schestowitz-TR; and unexpected
07:24 schestowitz-TR; his twitter account is still up
07:24 schestowitz-TR; 566 followers
07:24 schestowitz-TR; last tweet in January
07:24 schestowitz-TR; so maybe health problems
07:24 schestowitz-TR; they lost two managers in a year or two
07:24 Techrights-sec; ack
07:24 Techrights-sec; like a company? into the ground and then ask for a bailout? :/
07:24 Techrights-sec; ack
07:29 schestowitz-TR; by lost I mean they died
07:29 schestowitz-TR; very high-profile managers
07:29 schestowitz-TR; not some random staff
07:29 schestowitz-TR; I should not really say this, but linus does not seem healthy to me
07:29 schestowitz-TR; I did not see medical records
07:29 schestowitz-TR; I don't know him in person
07:29 schestowitz-TR; I'm not a physician
07:29 schestowitz-TR; but at 52 you are not supposed to have a body like that
07:29 schestowitz-TR; I assume he had a treadmill as part of medical consulation (GP or wife, judo lady)
07:30 schestowitz-TR; maybe he stopped using it
07:30 schestowitz-TR; the linux.com tribute page for Shubhra Kar has only 164 views
07:30 schestowitz-TR; compared to the usual 30-60 views
07:30 Techrights-sec; no he has not looked to be in good shape since the attack which forced him out
07:30 Techrights-sec; they probably still nibble at him to keep his stress levels high
07:30 schestowitz-TR; which aren't impacted by cahe, the figure go up when I hit f5
07:30 schestowitz-TR; this is a shocking collapse of a once-good site
07:30 schestowitz-TR; for a while spamnil used that like a tissue to get s few more hits for his failking videos
07:30 schestowitz-TR; spamnil's channel has some popular videos, but they are not his
07:30 schestowitz-TR; it's just some clips from stuff like debconf
07:30 schestowitz-TR; he's like roel :-)
07:31 schestowitz-TR; this is why rianne wanted to resign weeks ago
07:31 schestowitz-TR; jon became more stressful
07:31 schestowitz-TR; and lately her diet too became worse
07:31 schestowitz-TR; (mine was OK, I quit giving a shit years ago, I'm "jut milklng")
07:32 schestowitz-TR; let's see if wayback machine does the spamnil gulag channel
07:32 Techrights-sec; dont feed it
07:33 schestowitz-TR; screenshots only
07:33 schestowitz-TR; they have one snapshot only this year, april
07:33 schestowitz-TR; I have a method in mind, but I think these snapshots are insufficient
07:38 Techrights-sec; ack
07:38 Techrights-sec; :)
07:39 schestowitz-TR; hahaha, I think I nailed it
07:39 schestowitz-TR; let me get myself covered
07:39 schestowitz-TR; with more bits of evidence
07:39 schestowitz-TR; BUSTED!
07:39 schestowitz-TR; this is not about a failure
07:39 schestowitz-TR; but an ethical breach
07:40 *u-amarsh04 has quit (Quit: Konversation terminated!)
07:44 Techrights-sec; yes, strategically much more important, though NVDIA's move, if sincere, is
07:44 Techrights-sec; also valuable to advance Software Freedom
07:58 schestowitz-TR; these sorts of posts are very time-consuming, but a lot more vaulable then YetAnorher(R)
07:58 schestowitz-TR; NVIDIA yada yada open source blah blah
07:58 schestowitz-TR; yes, I have just said this to rianne, very important
07:58 schestowitz-TR; ntoice however I was referring to the COVERAGE of the new
07:58 schestowitz-TR; rather than the news
08:00 Techrights-sec; yes true
08:00 Techrights-sec; however, nvidia's announcement needs examiniation by some with kernel or driver
08:00 Techrights-sec; experience to say whether anything of substance has been freed
08:00 Techrights-sec; it's not openwashing but I'd be more comfortable seeing an assessment of
08:00 Techrights-sec; how much essential material is still locked
08:00 Techrights-sec; The "unedited press conference" mentions "open source" by name at about 12:00
08:00 Techrights-sec; unfortunately nvidia seemsto have fallen into github
08:00 schestowitz-TR; usually I'm of the opinion that, if you can just link to the original
08:00 schestowitz-TR; e.g. distro release
08:00 schestowitz-TR; do that
08:00 schestowitz-TR; no need for many mal-infmormed bits of blogspam
08:00 schestowitz-TR; just send people to the site
08:00 schestowitz-TR; and save or spare the hassle
08:00 schestowitz-TR; of trying to guess things

08:01 Techrights-sec; https://github.com/NVIDIA/open-gpu-kernel-modules

08:01 schestowitz-TR; [06:51] <techrights-news> Nvidia: we're open. We opened SOME bits (openwash) in PROPRIETARY platform... of MICROSOFT. But I guess I should not be complaining at this time; this is better than how it used to be...
08:02 schestowitz-TR; I said some other things last night
08:02 schestowitz-TR; anyway, I have things more urgent to moan about :-)
08:07 Techrights-sec; ack
08:21 schestowitz-TR; liam from gaming on linux has just issued an appeal for monet
08:21 schestowitz-TR; he uses patreon
08:21 schestowitz-TR; he told me just asking for money barely works
08:21 schestowitz-TR; you need to offer something extra
08:21 schestowitz-TR; maybe he can get microsoft/activison to send a CRATE of games
08:21 schestowitz-TR; and offload that onto ebay ;-
08:21 schestowitz-TR; ut games don't cost $10,000 like EPYC CPUs

09:49 schestowitz-TR; btw, while shaving i watched robertson's video about gimpo
09:49 schestowitz-TR; he perpatuates a lot of fud
09:49 schestowitz-TR; because, as usual, his source is conde nast (redddit)
09:49 schestowitz-TR; someone who to remind him "linux" subreddit is CENSORING the actual

09:49 schestowitz-TR; this is common knowledge
09:49 schestowitz-TR; he seems unaware
09:49 schestowitz-TR; he expressed surprised that so many anti-gimp comments were posted there
09:49 Techrights-sec; too bad

09:51 schestowitz-TR; it's bad for engagement wiotth advertisers like microsoft
09:51 schestowitz-TR; they do campaigns with microsoft
09:51 schestowitz-TR; like their promotions of ie9 and bill gates

09:51 schestowitz-TR; the ads are threads
09:55 schestowitz-TR; <techrights-news> Criminals always prefer criminals in positions of power. Social control media favours criminals. Look who the largest networks are owned by. Zuck, MusKSA. Ferdinand Marcos and Duterte ("junior") latest evidence of this...
09:57 schestowitz-TR; twitter = gatekeeper
09:57 schestowitz-TR; or another layer to obstruct media that is honest
09:57 schestowitz-TR; better be nice to tesla; don't want to risk losing my "audioence"... or constituents

09:58 Techrights-sec; yest, gate keeper, filter, king maker
09:58 Techrights-sec; the latter only if enough politicians give it control over their speech
09:58 Techrights-sec; yep
09:58 Techrights-sec; just like that
10:02 schestowitz-TR; because their web sites do not have "like" button
10:02 schestowitz-TR; so they cannot publicly signal their perceived "popularity"
