07:07 Techrightssec; FWIW SN is down
07:09 schestowitz-TR; cause known?
07:09 schestowitz-TR; btw, did you follow the link I posted to my blog last night?
07:09 Techrightssec; no
07:09 Techrightssec; no, why?
07:10 Techrightssec; just checked , many heart attacks
07:16 schestowitz-TR; not just in the uk
07:16 schestowitz-TR; some countries speak about it formally
07:16 schestowitz-TR; the countries, not some random MP whom people try to paint as antivax
07:16 schestowitz-TR; I told rianen last night that the psychology of it is complicated
07:16 schestowitz-TR; as many of those other MPs took the boosters too
07:16 schestowitz-TR; they would rather shoe away the messenger
07:16 schestowitz-TR; than consider the possibility laid forth
07:16 schestowitz-TR; he correctly points out that the boosters were only tested on animals
07:16 schestowitz-TR; they leapfrogged the traditional protocols, to put it mildly, an understatement
07:16 schestowitz-TR; and people were righly suspicious of the speed
07:50 Techrightssec; ack
07:51 schestowitz-TR; these protocols exist as a response to past blunders
07:58 Techrightssec; it looks like a lesson about to be relearned the hard wauy
08:00 schestowitz; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thalidomide_scandal
08:00 -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-en.wikipedia.org | Thalidomide scandal - Wikipedia
08:02 Techrightssec; yes that was one of several
08:02 Techrightssec; this one is much larger in scope :(
08:06 schestowitz-TR; my friend might die soon
08:06 schestowitz-TR; he beat me in Mr. Fitness competition a couple of times
08:06 schestowitz-TR; now his heart is considered defective and there is no cure
08:06 schestowitz-TR; but they attribute this to his intensive rowing
08:06 schestowitz-TR; he is one of two friends whose knees swelled after the first/second jab
08:06 schestowitz-TR; and whose doctors (it was that severe) said it had become very common
08:06 schestowitz-TR; both attribute this to the jab, one of prof. in medical field, the other has 3 masters degrees and
08:06 schestowitz-TR; is an athlete
08:06 schestowitz-TR; gaslighting in the media makes sense when you consider who pays that media (e.g. gaurdian, billbc)
08:07 Techrightssec; that's a tragedy
08:07 Techrightssec; yes the media is paid indirectly through the purchase of the doses, if
08:07 Techrightssec; you think about it a bit. it's 20 - 30 EUR per dose or something like
08:07 Techrightssec; that and if the company is only thinking 1) itself and 2) a few weeks at a time
08:07 Techrightssec; into the future, then it "makes sense" to push out something unhealth or even
08:07 Techrightssec; damaging and then use social control media to stigmatize all non-praise
08:07 Techrightssec; using similar tactics as m$ uses
08:10 schestowitz-TR; I forgot the name of that 'singer'
08:10 schestowitz-TR; who was suspended by twitter
08:10 schestowitz-TR; for just mentioning what happened to her cousin in trinidad (IIRC)
08:10 schestowitz-TR; because she had many followe
08:10 schestowitz-TR; nicki minaj?
08:10 schestowitz-TR; *followers
08:10 schestowitz-TR; I think it's perfectly obvious that not only GSK paid twitter for ads (seen many of them in 2020)
08:10 schestowitz-TR; Bill and Lolita gates Foundation infested my timeline a lot
08:10 schestowitz-TR; so the money came
08:10 schestowitz-TR; and censorship followed
08:10 schestowitz-TR; I didn't say anything not subtantiated or well sourced
08:10 schestowitz-TR; but that does not matter
08:10 schestowitz-TR; I was "disruptive" to the relationship with some clients (advertisers) of Twitter
08:13 schestowitz-TR; --
08:13 schestowitz-TR; social control media is something that gets IN BETWEEN people
08:13 schestowitz-TR; in that videoi I shared last night the MP (Sir something) explains than every "mainstream
08:13 schestowitz-TR; media" bias does not help because people talk to one another and the gov. cannot control that
08:13 schestowitz-TR; anf thus confidence in the gov, media and medical profession will wane
08:15 Techrightssec; yep. one possible side effect of a full implosion of twitter would be
08:15 Techrightssec; that such tight censorship becomes once again difficult to achieve.
08:15 Techrightssec; yes, way to many a-hole /want/ to believe that social control media is
08:15 Techrightssec; a raw communications medium and parrot statements to that effect,
08:15 Techrightssec; when it is a strong filter in reality. sadly it seems that a lot of top
08:15 Techrightssec; politicians are the worst affected by their delusion.
08:15 Techrightssec; confidence also wanes because there are fewer competent people as a long term
08:15 Techrightssec; fall out effect from the bologne agreement. :( :(
08:15 Techrightssec; business has basic been a game of LARP for decades and now that is spilling
08:15 Techrightssec; over into the rest of society
08:15 Techrightssec; facts can be overruled by loud opinions
08:18 schestowitz-TR; btw, as noted in irc moments ago, a source told me friedman was involved in ftx
08:18 schestowitz-TR; professionally, not ass client
08:18 schestowitz-TR; but this isn't notable at this time
08:18 schestowitz-TR; a lot of stupidity, vanity, and fools who listen to musk "tweets"
08:18 schestowitz-TR; bought into those "trading" platforms
08:18 schestowitz-TR; many lost nearly everything, those who ended up on top include Sheela Microsoft (Bakkt)
08:24 schestowitz-TR; [on bit of a tangent]
08:24 schestowitz-TR; that is why i ended up rather cynical and I keep telling people that BY DAULT
08:24 schestowitz-TR; *DEFAULT
08:24 schestowitz-TR; I do not trust people and do not believe what they tell me
08:24 schestowitz-TR; I need to establish some rust over time
08:24 schestowitz-TR; Kirk Wiebe said 90% of Americans were polled as saying that cheating and 'embellishing' is OK
08:24 schestowitz-TR; to get ahead
08:24 schestowitz-TR; a bit of that 'fake it till you make it' psyche
08:24 schestowitz-TR; the same is true here, with job titles, salaries, homes (owned by banks, backed by money that DOES NOT EXIST
08:24 schestowitz-TR; even in the banks!!)
08:24 schestowitz-TR; the sooner you realise what's going on, the easier it gets to brush off "social constructs"
08:24 schestowitz-TR; (or corporater consptrusts such as "intelectual property")
08:24 schestowitz-TR; set aside stupid gimmicks like clown, smart, iot etc.
08:24 Techrightssec; Yes, that is such a tragic cultural shift. The US has been NewYorkified
08:24 Techrightssec; Yep, fraud all the way down.
08:24 Techrightssec; ack
08:27 schestowitz-TR; is that really a new york thing or going by canards or steretypes?
08:27 schestowitz-TR; I am curious as I saw the same among Italians and East Asians
08:27 schestowitz-TR; maybe we're just better familiarised with anglo-saxon-franco variants of that
08:27 schestowitz-TR; we have a friend from malaysia who built his whole social life on lies
08:27 schestowitz-TR; a male nurse who since his early 20s said he was a heart surgeon
08:27 schestowitz-TR; and walks away if you ask the "right" questions
08:27 schestowitz-TR; he lies about many other things, which built upon this fakeness
08:38 Techrightssec; hard to say, it is definitely the stereotype going back to the 1800s
08:38 Techrightssec; however, it seems to be cultivated and praised in movies the last few decades
08:38 Techrightssec; as well as tv shows. so with that kind of encouragement, it spreads to the
08:38 Techrightssec; rest of society. "I'm not really a waiter|busboy|taxidriver,
08:38 Techrightssec; I'm really an actor|singer|dancer|politician|etc"
08:38 Techrightssec; Maybe there's also some overlap with the propaganda that gets much of the
08:38 Techrightssec; public to vote as if they themselves were in the 1% most wealthy and that
08:38 Techrightssec; have an obligation to screw over the rest for further personal gain.

08:38 Techrightssec; attribution of that one is hard but the observation stands
08:38 Techrightssec; just watch some of the interviews with "average" people there, they are
08:38 Techrightssec; glad that they themselves cannot afford health care, not even dental, if
08:38 Techrightssec; that means that someone else who "doesn't deserve it" is also denied :/

08:45 Techrightssec; That's also why people build myths around the rich and ignore several generations of inheritance. Perhaps only Larry Ellison went from

08:51 schestowitz-TR; yes, I agree (on phone atm)
09:18 schestowitz-TR; done
09:18 schestowitz-TR; yes, the cynicism is justified
09:18 schestowitz-TR; 1) people claiming to be something they are not
09:18 schestowitz-TR; 2) success stories not even being profitable (necessarily)
09:18 schestowitz-TR; 3) the gov. or nations run like cliques, with "formalities" like job criteria
09:18 schestowitz-TR; when in reality it often boils down to nepotism, e.g. EPO and places I've worked
09:18 schestowitz-TR; (3) is a threat to the diploma bubble, as people are led to think displomas rather
09:18 schestowitz-TR; than "nmetworking" will assure them "success"
09:19 Techrightssec; ack
09:19 Techrightssec; euphemism for sucking up rather than true networking
09:21 schestowitz-TR; see ENA (Battistelli and Macron)
09:22 schestowitz-TR; also see the letter sent from Christine Lagarde (battistelli friend)
09:22 schestowitz-TR; when she was some lawyer
09:22 schestowitz-TR; promising blind loyalty
09:22 schestowitz-TR; this way she rose to power in franch politica, imf, now ecb
09:22 schestowitz-TR; techrights covered this years ago in relation to thierry breton
09:22 schestowitz-TR; then they need to "play the role" as imposters
09:22 schestowitz-TR; to make it look like they are worthy of the role
09:22 schestowitz-TR; and wear the right costumes with the right "designer" names
09:22 schestowitz-TR; and pay people to 'improve' 'their' wikipedia articles
09:22 schestowitz-TR; and issue press reports on their supposed qualifications
09:39 *DaemonFC has quit (Quit: Leaving)
09:40 schestowitz-TR; tonight it'll be 96 hours since last pc crash
09:40 schestowitz-TR; not seen any storage related line in syslog since 2 days ago
09:40 schestowitz-TR; we leave the house in 3 hours
09:40 schestowitz-TR; 14 degress today
09:40 schestowitz-TR; feels like spring (evenings)
09:40 schestowitz-TR; tomorrow 17 degrees
09:40 schestowitz-TR; it's bizarre because it's mild, no wind, no humidity
09:41 schestowitz-TR; feels like "wrong" season
09:41 schestowitz-TR; billbc even wrote about this yesterday (rainne read, I did not)
09:41 schestowitz-TR; there are even some leaves on trees and bushes that should be naked by now
09:41 schestowitz-TR; not sure if you saw it, but this morn I republished a new video of rms on anony payments
09:41 schestowitz-TR; he explains how that relates to freedom, e.g. abortion in the us
09:41 Techrightssec; I saw the post on RMS but not the video itself.
09:41 Techrightssec; Interestingly I was just looking at GNU Taler again the other day.
09:44 schestowitz-TR; for things we cannot pay for with cash as there is no hand-to-hand contact
09:44 schestowitz-TR; usually due to distance
09:44 schestowitz-TR; the first question to ask is, do they need to know who I am?
09:44 schestowitz-TR; e.g. plane passenger, football spectator
09:44 schestowitz-TR; or, what is there to lose?
09:44 schestowitz-TR; if I pay the webhost witH, and my domain is easy to link to the - gasp - host
09:44 schestowitz-TR; then paying with CC might be OK
09:44 schestowitz-TR; so we need to draw lines in the sand
09:44 schestowitz-TR; and limit how much is known about us and who to
09:44 schestowitz-TR; email is not secure, esp. when reponding to gmail accounts
09:44 schestowitz-TR; those accounts aren't just plain text but actively scanned for contents both ways
09:44 schestowitz-TR; for commercial reasons and more
09:46 Techrightssec; When flying, one has to pay $85 to get even a modicum of the dignity that
09:46 Techrightssec; was afforded travellers prior to Little Bush. It's hard for people to believe
09:46 Techrightssec; now, even if they are old enough to have experienced it, but flyers were once
09:46 Techrightssec; treated as valued customers rather than as captive opponents and criminals
09:46 Techrightssec; Not just scanned, it seems that URLs are followed as well.
09:49 schestowitz-TR; shorly after microsoft stashed skype in NSA PRISM the H (heise) noted that in "private" chats in skype URLs
09:49 schestowitz-TR; were not only followed but more was done (I forgot the details; is site still offline? was it
09:49 schestowitz-TR; brought back permanently after the protests?)
09:49 schestowitz-TR; the editor of The H pretty much vanished
09:49 schestowitz-TR; I followed his personal blog for a while, but it was never quite functional
09:49 schestowitz-TR; "morgan" was in the surname iirc
09:49 schestowitz-TR; fabsh also vanished
09:49 schestowitz-TR; tried to do podcasting for a while after linuxnews, linux outlaws and The H gig
09:49 schestowitz-TR; they re-allocated him to cover some windows crapo
09:49 schestowitz-TR; for heise
09:49 schestowitz-TR; which he was not happy with
09:49 schestowitz-TR; now he's history like matt hartley, whose comebacks keep failing
09:50 Techrightssec; There are several problems with that activity, especially if the link happens
09:50 Techrightssec; to be a one-off activation link :(

09:52 schestowitz-TR; 'wrong' link
09:52 schestowitz-TR; iirc, they 'broke' the story about microsoft following urls and more
09:52 schestowitz-TR; in skype
09:52 schestowitz-TR; so the site is still online at least
09:52 schestowitz-TR; unlike angrypenguin (bought and buried), linuxelectron and hundress of others
09:52 schestowitz-TR; nobody can recall even existed
09:52 schestowitz-TR; back when the www was a lot bigger
09:52 schestowitz-TR; and hence better s/n ratio

09:52 schestowitz-TR; *not

09:53 Techrightssec; The EFF was still alive back then
09:58 schestowitz-TR; OSI seems to exist now to pay one salary and cover up Microsoft's crimes against the GPL
09:58 schestowitz-TR; EFF still does some OK work sometimes, as the coup seems incomplete but still ongoing
09:58 schestowitz-TR; you know the canary won't come out of the coal mine anymore when you are told the founder or founders
09:58 schestowitz-TR; had died/left/got ousted
09:58 schestowitz-TR; I updaqted the OSI post this moprning
09:58 schestowitz-TR; they still drone on and on about "HEY HI"
09:58 schestowitz-TR; sponsored by Microsoft to be a parrot
09:58 schestowitz-TR; I never shared details in any articles about what Phipps had said
09:58 schestowitz-TR; I still think he is the only person who can still save the OSI, save the 2 cofounder
09:58 schestowitz-TR; *save or sans the cofounders
09:59 schestowitz-TR; but esr is down for the count
09:59 schestowitz-TR; perens left twitter and his blog is not active, either
10:02 schestowitz-TR; I have this rather politically-incorrect theory about the levels of [something] going down
10:02 schestowitz-TR; as people age, so we cannot expect thewm to blog as much as they used to
10:02 schestowitz-TR; mmasnick was able to do 10 articles every day until around 2010
10:02 schestowitz-TR; I too wrote a lot back then
10:02 schestowitz-TR; Phoronix is mostly posting "tweets" or "PR" (push request, not just public relations) are quick
10:02 schestowitz-TR; 'articles'
10:02 schestowitz-TR; it was to be loads and loads of benchmarks
10:02 schestowitz-TR; today, even the benchmarks are more like "marketing for gift"
10:06 schestowitz-TR; (This worries me at times; what if TR was OK financially but the mind was not keeping up or
10:06 schestowitz-TR; not working? Hence diet, sleep, medical care. Schneier has a book coming next year, but he blogs
10:06 schestowitz-TR; only one liners; he was a lot more active in the past. Doctorow limits himself to an article a day; in
10:06 schestowitz-TR; sites like boingboing he was very prolific)
10:06 schestowitz-TR; RMS has something important to say less than once a month
10:06 schestowitz-TR; and Lunduke is speaking about Lunduke
10:06 schestowitz-TR; but hardly ever dealing with any important topic, nor does what's left of "tech media"
10:06 schestowitz-TR; that last one creates a crisis, as there are no "leads" to follow
10:06 schestowitz-TR; so not much for blogs or for web forums (of various kinds) to act on
10:09 Techrightssec; ack
10:09 Techrightssec; Moshe Barr wrote in BYTE shortly before it shut down a lot about his new
10:09 Techrightssec; baby, new motorcycle, and various other time-intensive things. Then some
10:09 Techrightssec; months later, he wrote that he was honestly puzzled why he could not code
10:09 Techrightssec; at the levels he used to. The brain changes over time, various events
10:09 Techrightssec; such as births, sicknesses, or other forms of severe hardship and stress
10:09 Techrightssec; affect it. Then there is just plain age.
10:09 schestowitz-TR; (RMS in that latest video obviously reads a script -- albeit probably one he co-wrote himself)

10:10 Techrightssec; while reading from the script, does he blink his eyes in any morse message
10:10 Techrightssec; such as "torture" or anything else? ;)
10:11 schestowitz-TR; /me thinks of that chinese journalist rolling her eyes to the camera
10:21 schestowitz-TR; readinjg previews in jstor
10:21 schestowitz-TR; rms started gnu at 30
10:21 schestowitz-TR; but had already developed a version of emacs
10:21 schestowitz-TR; so one of those papers debates all that stuff with cherry-picked examples
10:21 schestowitz-TR; not sure how old timbl was... checking
10:21 schestowitz-TR; about 35 when he made www
10:21 schestowitz-TR; about the same as when sagner and wales made wikipedia
10:21 schestowitz-TR; so a lot of tech innovation of "great impact" (not a reliable yardstick) is done by people in their 30s, not
10:21 schestowitz-TR; 20s. but either way, keeping at it for a long time and not stagnating is the harder part
10:21 schestowitz-TR; if the work has profound impact, it helps
10:21 schestowitz-TR; rob malda basically became a nobody after selling /.
10:21 schestowitz-TR; and his 'pasrtner in crime' just went to work in Gulag last I checked
10:26 Techrightssec; Malda wanted to try a different career while there was still time.
10:26 Techrightssec; That did not pan out. Nor did Slashdot survive the sale. He was not
10:26 Techrightssec; careful with his selection of buyers for that first sale. Once it was
10:26 Techrightssec; out of his hands it was in the hands of those that had an axe to grind over
10:26 Techrightssec; FOSS, Open Standards, and Open Formats. It only got worse with each sale.
10:26 Techrightssec; SN just lost 10 days worth of posts and comments in yesterday's crash.
10:26 Techrightssec; ncommander aims to hold the site up until 2024, it's tenth anniversary,
10:26 Techrightssec; and if it is not on its feet by then to probably go static-only archive
10:26 schestowitz-TR; incidents of this severity
10:26 schestowitz-TR; 1) cost time
10:26 schestowitz-TR; 2) lowee morale
10:26 schestowitz-TR; 3) put off readers and/or sponsors
10:26 schestowitz-TR; thankffully we never suffered any serious data loss
10:26 schestowitz-TR; ever
10:26 schestowitz-TR; not something that could not be recovered with some work
10:26 schestowitz-TR; er.g. from Gulag Cache
10:37 schestowitz-TR; a long time ago I already realised that much of what I had posted would vanish within years
10:37 schestowitz-TR; my own web site has had the same url structure and urls for 20+ years
10:37 schestowitz-TR; and nothing gets removed
10:37 schestowitz-TR; with ipfs things exist as long as something has a copy of them
10:37 schestowitz-TR; and the hashes identity the items
10:37 Techrightssec; Things only kind of exist in IPFS. IF they are not easily searchable and are
10:37 Techrightssec; hard to retrieve then they might as well not exist.
10:40 schestowitz-TR; I will try to finish all the links and post Daily Links before we leave the house in 2 hours
10:43 schestowitz-TR; mice should have wires
10:43 schestowitz-TR; the wires (tails)
10:43 schestowitz-TR; is why they are called mice
10:43 schestowitz-TR; and they work
10:43 schestowitz-TR; I got a new one that I told you about
10:43 schestowitz-TR; AOC, for a change...
10:43 schestowitz-TR; so far, so good
10:43 schestowitz-TR; durable, "gaming", cost about 17 pounds
10:43 schestowitz-TR; 6 buttons
10:57 schestowitz-TR; more degrees of freedom -> more things that can and will fail
10:57 schestowitz-TR; in recent years the mice we bought and used heavily lasted about 3 years
11:01 schestowitz-TR; many things can ruin a mouse
11:01 schestowitz-TR; usually the first is one of:
11:01 schestowitz-TR; -scrolling sucks/reversed
11:01 schestowitz-TR; --bad button
11:01 schestowitz-TR; -laser dies off
11:01 schestowitz-TR; you can work around one but it becomes impractical as it builds up
11:01 schestowitz-TR; "gaming" ones do seem moredurable
11:01 schestowitz-TR; and you must change mouse every x years
11:01 schestowitz-TR; they don't build them to last, fall, etc.
11:01 schestowitz-TR; so without bluetooth they are cheaper
11:01 schestowitz-TR; (battery costs aside)
11:01 schestowitz-TR; if you buy a new one every x years, and it has no bluetooth, you don't end up buying like 3
11:01 schestowitz-TR; bluetooth devices every decade
11:01 schestowitz-TR; earliert today in irc eletric toothbrush and their "heads" were discussed
11:01 schestowitz-TR; I've just mae a very largew kttle of tea, using only the hob
11:01 schestowitz-TR; we've quit buying electric kettles, they don't last long

11:04 schestowitz-TR; no bluetooth -> zero interference ;-)
11:04 schestowitz-TR; "dude, you are interfering with my workflow"
11:04 schestowitz-TR; you could get 'revenge' with a laser pointer or several
11:10 schestowitz-TR; ---
11:10 schestowitz-TR; re aforementioned point about age and productivity
11:10 schestowitz-TR; in my personal assessment, it's not that I type slower or sleep more or cannot focus
11:10 schestowitz-TR; it's just that the complexity of multi-tasking increased
11:10 schestowitz-TR; lessening activity like wasteful social control media has helped
11:10 schestowitz-TR; but!!
11:10 schestowitz-TR; at the same time we have more routines that take up time, such as irc, bulletins, backups, and
11:10 schestowitz-TR; home chores
11:11 schestowitz-TR; before xmas I'll try to 'consolidate' some of these to make more times for writing
11:11 schestowitz-TR; the workflow is very sub-optimal
11:11 schestowitz-TR; esp. now that circumstances changed a lot
11:19 Techrightssec; Multi-tasking is inherently inefficient and should be avoided
11:20 schestowitz-TR; phone push notifications are like that
11:20 schestowitz-TR; 1) you don't control when they come
11:20 schestowitz-TR; 2) they follow you around (in pocket usually)
11:20 schestowitz-TR; 3) it's 24/7
11:20 schestowitz-TR; email is OK when left closed (no polling)
11:20 schestowitz-TR; rianne and I use mumble now all the time, but usually muted
11:29 schestowitz-TR; back around 6pm gmt

16:47 schestowitz-TR; yes, health is not high up on the list atm
16:47 schestowitz-TR; it feels like there is also more obesity
17:02 Techrightssec; Obesity and the secondary diseases it causes are rampant in the US
