00:29 -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-www.fosslife.org | Cutest Distro in the Linux Sea? Thats Right: Cutefish
00:29 schestowitz; "
00:29 schestowitz; Even as a beta release, CutefishOS brings an incredible elegance into the Linux desktop mix, says Jack Wallen.
00:29 schestowitz; The Debian-based distro, which came into being within the past couple years, uses Qt Quick and will likely remind users of macOS with its polished appearance.
00:30 schestowitz; "
00:56 MinceR; ew
01:34 psydruid; very polished
01:34 psydruid; very turd
01:34 psydruid; very polished turd
01:49 schestowitz; pasted, redacted a bit:
01:49 schestowitz; [02:07] <schestowitz> ping sorry to be a bother
01:49 schestowitz; [02:07] <schestowitz> the tuxmachjines DB entered a bad state
01:49 schestowitz; [02:07] <schestowitz> I have backups
01:49 schestowitz; [02:08] <schestowitz> but it might be an opportunity to move it to a new OS
01:49 schestowitz; [02:09] <schestowitz> a lot of it we can do on our own, I think, and we'll pay for your time
01:49 schestowitz; [14:23] <xxxxxxx> i don't have time to do it this week
01:49 schestowitz; [14:23] <xxxxxxx> but
01:49 schestowitz; [14:23] <xxxxxxx> maybe soon
01:49 schestowitz; [14:23] <xxxxxxx> idk
01:49 schestowitz; [15:03] <schestowitz> thanks, totally understadable
01:49 schestowitz; [15:04] <schestowitz> we've begun setting up a devuan machine to test the sites on, so maybe that can be a drop-in for the server, like when tessier got it imported. Meanwhile we solved the DB issue at TuxMachines, by taking an older backups and then manually adding the missing bits (about 80 drupal nodes plus commnets)
02:00 Techrights-sec; Is there an example page with code tags on TR?
02:00 Techrights-sec; Can you show a URL for one? I'll take a look.
02:00 schestowitz-TR; yes
02:00 schestowitz-TR; all the pages that have the codes in them
02:00 schestowitz-TR; file name, followed by contents
02:00 schestowitz-TR; I think that is what bnchs wanted
02:02 schestowitz-TR; did you takedown the nginx/proxy service or dit it break again moments ago?
02:02 schestowitz-TR; I'll restart the service
02:02 Techrights-sec; I have not touched it
02:03 Techrights-sec; It shouldn't crash though so I wonder what's in the logs about it.
02:03 schestowitz-TR; restarted
02:03 schestowitz-TR; have not checked logs
02:04 schestowitz; http://gemini.techrights.org/proxy?url=gemini://gemini.techrights.org/git/tr-git/
02:04 Techrights-sec; systemd should restart it: Restart=on-failure
02:04 Techrights-sec; so if it is not, journalctl -xe might show something.

02:20 Techrights-sec;
02:20 Techrights-sec; Thanks. Looking.
02:20 Techrights-sec; It's already there but not working correctly.
02:20 Techrights-sec; Found the error in the pattern and another one in the logic.
02:21 Techrights-sec; ok try Git
02:22 schestowitz-TR; I just have and have told bnchs
02:22 schestowitz-TR; I hope the proxy won't get locked up again, at least I caught is very quickly both time
02:22 schestowitz-TR; *times
02:22 schestowitz-TR; it ran ok for 1 month and 30 days
02:23 Techrights-sec; Did /var/log/nginx/error.log have any info ?
02:23 schestowitz-TR; I did not check
02:23 schestowitz-TR; I was very tired
02:23 schestowitz-TR; fixed the serviced
02:23 schestowitz-TR; crashed in bed
02:23 schestowitz-TR; not much sleep lately
02:23 schestowitz-TR; in fact I'll head back to bed in a moment
02:24 Techrights-sec; Oh. Sleep is important
02:24 Techrights-sec; The service will need restarting and the script will need copying to the
02:24 Techrights-sec; right place.
02:24 Techrights-sec; (in the reverse order)
02:25 schestowitz-TR; i will do it now quikckly
02:25 schestowitz-TR; IIRC, 2 things will need restarting
02:25 schestowitz-TR; ior reloading
02:31 schestowitz-TR; I am pulling from git on the pi

02:47 schestowitz-TR; I did not cp the old one for backup
02:47 Techrights-sec; please revert to the old one and I'll look later in more detail
02:47 Techrights-sec; I'll need to set up a test system here or something and that will take some
02:47 Techrights-sec; significant amount of time.
02:47 Techrights-sec; and I was too slow to think of that and missed it by seconds.
02:47 Techrights-sec; Ill dig it out of Git

08:12 schestowitz-TR; will deploy file in a moment
08:15 schestowitz-TR; crap, I didn't make a backup of the working file before swapping them arond
08:15 schestowitz-TR; this one too has an error
08:15 schestowitz-TR; and though I could get a working version pulled from git
08:15 schestowitz-TR; I guess I could wait till you get back

08:33 schestowitz-TR; it has only been 'down' 30 mins
08:33 schestowitz-TR; not sure how long tuxmachines httpd had issues for
08:33 schestowitz-TR; but apachtop avg waas 0.5, so I assume only several minutes
08:33 schestowitz-TR; this morning's tuxmachines LOCAL backup dump is 422mb compressed
08:33 schestowitz-TR; so as I expected the caches are piling up
08:33 Techrights-sec; was there a specific error message?
08:33 Techrights-sec; that's about how long I was out
08:33 Techrights-sec; should the caches be excluded from the backups_
08:33 Techrights-sec; ?
08:34 schestowitz-TR; no, that's not a problem

08:39 Techrights-sec; ok, anything in nginx's error log?
08:39 Techrights-sec; I think i see the line with the error
08:40 schestowitz-TR; i have not looked at logs
08:40 schestowitz-TR; I had a tough night
08:40 schestowitz-TR; as I was assigned some puppet deployments
08:40 schestowitz-TR; for a client I hate a lot
08:41 Techrights-sec; sounds like a rough night then
08:42 Techrights-sec; try /tmp/gemini-proxy.pl
08:42 schestowitz-TR; trying
08:42 schestowitz-TR; now it is green!
08:44 Techrights-sec; ok, but does it work ;)
08:46 schestowitz-TR; 502
08:46 schestowitz-TR; wait
08:46 schestowitz-TR; it seemed slow
08:46 schestowitz-TR; then it sort of works
08:46 schestowitz-TR; the page with '''
08:46 schestowitz-TR; slanted quotes
08:46 schestowitz-TR; shows up strange
08:46 schestowitz-TR; ~/git/tr-git/
08:46 Techrights-sec; ok 1) i've removed the changes, /tmp/ has the old one now; 2) I''l have to
08:46 Techrights-sec; set up a local web server with a local instance of the proxy here before I
08:46 Techrights-sec; waste more of your effot
08:48 schestowitz-TR; I've not reverted back
08:48 schestowitz-TR; to the previous versio
08:48 schestowitz-TR; as now you can see what it looks like
08:48 schestowitz-TR; in pages with slanted '''
09:00 schestowitz-TR; I've just copied the file
09:00 schestowitz-TR; reloaded
09:00 schestowitz-TR; and restarted
09:00 schestowitz-TR; see ~/git/tr-git/
09:00 schestowitz-TR; i'm not sure, but I think it used to look different
09:11 schestowitz-TR; based on the montanstic email, tuxmachines became unavailable when the backup started
09:11 schestowitz-TR; and was down until I restarted httpd
09:11 schestowitz-TR; I will monitor it tomorrow at that time in case it's a recurring issue
09:12 Techrights-sec; checking. it may be a while
09:12 Techrights-sec; I have a local intance of the proxy to work on now
09:12 Techrights-sec; I'll add TM to the local monitor here, but it will take some major revision
09:12 Techrights-sec; to do that, not hard though, just fiddly adjustments;
09:17 schestowitz-TR; maybe it is not related to the backups
09:17 schestowitz-TR; downtime was detected at a rather different time
09:21 Techrights-sec; ack
09:21 Techrights-sec; gemini://gemini.techrights.org/git/tr-git/ has lots of unnecessary ``` marks
09:21 Techrights-sec; ack
09:21 schestowitz-TR; i will be keeping a close eye on it throughout the day
09:21 schestowitz-TR; 3 hours downtime due to us not monitoring it isn't "los of revenue"
09:21 schestowitz-TR; but can erode rankings, lower exposure to "Linux" etc.
09:21 schestowitz-TR; going to work out now, the 'boss' says I need exercise
10:00 Techrights-sec; Ok, I think it works now, at least it does locally. Try /tmp/ again
10:05 schestowitz-TR;
10:05 schestowitz-TR; ok
10:05 schestowitz-TR; seems to work!
10:05 schestowitz-TR; I don't want to add any special styling to it because it's code
10:05 schestowitz-TR; ok, seems to work very well
10:06 schestowitz-TR; I will try to prioritise EPO later today
10:06 schestowitz-TR; though gemini is still growing and i have lots to say

10:14 schestowitz-TR; moaning about pandemic profiteers
10:14 schestowitz-TR; while bagging bribes from gates
10:14 schestowitz-TR; it stopped covering the tax evasion
10:14 schestowitz-TR; and all thius utterly shitty media never covers patent issues
10:14 schestowitz-TR; like WTO bought all the media, or interests like that satellite
10:14 schestowitz-TR; and although I've not gotten sick personally
10:14 schestowitz-TR; I see the damage all around me
10:14 schestowitz-TR; /rant over
10:14 Techrights-sec; I concur
10:15 schestowitz-TR; there are still 10k idiots who PAY tyo watch CNN
10:15 schestowitz-TR; with DRM and all
10:15 schestowitz-TR; not just through cable conglemerates
10:16 Techrights-sec; If you look at recent editions of Linux Mint, it requires Restricted Boot
10:16 Techrights-sec; to be active if it is to install the proprietary codecs. As far as I know
10:16 Techrights-sec; that means they are pushing some kind of DRM with anti-end user lock down
10:16 Techrights-sec; and lock in
10:21 schestowitz-TR; one potential way to tackle this
10:21 schestowitz-TR; is proliferation of
10:21 schestowitz-TR; circumvention mechanisms
10:21 schestowitz-TR; and workarounds
10:21 schestowitz-TR; or complete alternatives
10:21 schestowitz-TR; fwiw, I don't regard lbry as such
10:21 schestowitz-TR; not a viable and trusted one
10:21 schestowitz-TR; to promote all the known instances of invidious
10:21 schestowitz-TR; for videos that strictly exist in gulagtube
10:21 schestowitz-TR; excepot the clownflarted ones
10:21 schestowitz-TR; I think that can help
10:21 schestowitz-TR; to boost their numbers
10:21 schestowitz-TR; and make it hard for gulag's lawyers to chasing just one instance
10:21 schestowitz-TR; like invidio.us
10:21 schestowitz-TR; because the technical attack is a collusion
10:21 schestowitz-TR; and an attack on culture itself
10:21 schestowitz-TR; and peopls' ability to controls the means of production and distribuion
10:23 Techrights-sec; DMCA and EUCD pre-emptively block that. DMCA makes publication of advice
10:23 Techrights-sec; regarding cirumvention, even as simple as base64 or ROT-13, into a major
10:23 Techrights-sec; felony with a 5-year jail sentence
10:23 Techrights-sec; yes it is most definitely an attack on culture.
10:23 Techrights-sec; For a while, when the PP was active, they used to talk about (re-)freeing
10:23 Techrights-sec; culture. They are still active in Germany but have shutdown or been
10:23 Techrights-sec; neutralized in other countries. The US cannot have small parties because
10:24 Techrights-sec; of the first past the post voting which ensures two parties and furthermore
10:24 Techrights-sec; the funding process ensures that core policies of the two parties overlap.
10:24 schestowitz-TR; Russia has one Putin. US has two putins on rota/rotation.
10:25 schestowitz-TR; Now, since nov 2020, questioning the integrity of voting itself is "fascism"
10:25 schestowitz-TR; inc. proprietary electronic voting machines
10:26 schestowitz-TR; you can even get sued for LIBEL
10:28 schestowitz-TR; "don't insult islam"

11:14 schestowitz-TR; <mjg59_> Techrights-sec: Yo uh could you actually justify your claims here
11:14 schestowitz-TR; trolls are best ignored
11:15 schestowitz-TR; I learned this in UNETENT around 2005
11:15 schestowitz-TR; when they provoked me
11:15 schestowitz-TR; then I reacted
11:15 schestowitz-TR; and for years the reaction was taken out of context
11:15 schestowitz-TR; tuxmachines is doing ok and the proxy runs OK too
11:15 schestowitz-TR; I will monitor them during the day
11:15 schestowitz-TR; as things changed a little

11:38 schestowitz-TR; but let's not mind it

11:38 schestowitz-TR; I used to do a lot of C
11:39 schestowitz-TR; I can cope with some other langs but need a refresher
11:39 schestowitz-TR; the direction "modern" langs have taken
11:39 schestowitz-TR; is apis and massive frameworks
11:39 schestowitz-TR; that has cons and pros
11:39 schestowitz-TR; like making "apps" fast
11:39 schestowitz-TR; reminds me of MATLAB
11:39 Techrights-sec; ack
11:39 Techrights-sec; python is annoying, you cannot copy a list by using the = operator
11:39 Techrights-sec; but must do a special function on the list
11:39 Techrights-sec; don't feed the troll
11:39 Techrights-sec; the language does not feel well design or fully thought out
11:39 Techrights-sec; it's still worlds better than PHP though
11:40 schestowitz-TR; you know, I was thinking the other night (did not sleep easily)
11:40 schestowitz-TR; it's quit a miracle that given the pace of fake innovation
11:40 schestowitz-TR; tuxmachines still uses a DB so old
11:40 schestowitz-TR; without some DBMS and DBA
11:40 Techrights-sec; GNU Octave?

11:43 schestowitz-TR; once you do it you are adding a lot of extra baggage
11:43 schestowitz-TR; for very little practical benefit
11:43 schestowitz-TR; just tech vanity
11:43 schestowitz-TR; and then you might end up buyiong support contract

11:43 schestowitz-TR; was using ansible
11:43 schestowitz-TR; a colleague spent a lot of time learning it
11:43 schestowitz-TR; around the time red hat took over
11:43 schestowitz-TR; he's now feuding with my colleague who puts puppet everywhere
11:43 schestowitz-TR; and moans that he can no longer exercise the "skillz" he gained"
11:43 schestowitz-TR; he also 'studied' (memorised) a lot of AWS

11:46 schestowitz-TR; imagine us "upgrading" to centos latest a couple of years back
11:46 schestowitz-TR; many business did that
11:46 schestowitz-TR; and invested a lot based on the word of red hat
11:46 schestowitz-TR; re long-term support, inc. backported kernels
11:46 schestowitz-TR; they must have that for COMPLIANCE
11:46 schestowitz-TR; and then it was like, "lol, real sorry, changed out minds, "STREAMS""
11:47 schestowitz-TR; corrolary: sometimes being "dumb" and "behind" and "dinobaby"
11:47 schestowitz-TR; can be a bit of a compliment
11:47 schestowitz-TR; this morning FDC was going on and on about his "luxury" car
11:47 schestowitz-TR; don't laugh, he had very tough upbringing
11:47 schestowitz-TR; and how repairing modern cars would cost a fortune
11:47 schestowitz-TR; and they would not last long anyway

11:50 schestowitz-TR; like in singapore
11:50 schestowitz-TR; for banksters
11:50 schestowitz-TR; and fake "luxury"
11:50 schestowitz-TR; like a shoebox with a bed and "smart" phone in it

11:51 Techrights-sec; not just laboring but treading water so to speak so that the nose is never more
11:51 Techrights-sec; than just barely above the surface
11:54 schestowitz-TR; re an earlier point (that I had made about the hurt to our neighbours)
11:54 schestowitz-TR; we talked about a bunch of things and how covid19 patents are not even
11:54 schestowitz-TR; mentioned anywhere in the media
11:54 schestowitz-TR; a lot of businesses here are shutting down
11:54 schestowitz-TR; rianne keeps reporting to me more and more that vanish
11:54 schestowitz-TR; and those desperate to send leaflets asking you to buy food
11:54 schestowitz-TR; though it's too risky to go out to dine out
11:54 schestowitz-TR; covid19 was used here to pass some anti-congregation laws
11:54 schestowitz-TR; so activism will be digital
11:54 schestowitz-TR; social control media is not controlled by us
11:54 schestowitz-TR; but they will pass new laws to target t hose they cannot herd and gaslight
11:55 Techrights-sec; last I checkee the downtown here was getting quite empty o the ground floor
11:55 Techrights-sec; social control media prevents digital activism that is one reason it is pushed
11:55 Techrights-sec; so heavily by the media and those that control the media
11:55 Techrights-sec; I suppose soon self hosting will be illegal it is getting defacto illegal
11:55 Techrights-sec; especially e-mail.
11:59 schestowitz-TR; i had an illuminating comment in IRC the other day
11:59 schestowitz-TR; by fisgosdev/matey
11:59 schestowitz-TR; he was surprised we use the "real" wordpress
11:59 schestowitz-TR; afaik, techdirt marius nestor and many others parcelled off their sites
11:59 schestowitz-TR; to wordpress.com
11:59 schestowitz-TR; there is a convenient option there to buy or add your domain
11:59 schestowitz-TR; then they more or less hide
11:59 schestowitz-TR; wordpress.com is not a web host with wordpress
11:59 schestowitz-TR; it's based on wordpress MU
11:59 schestowitz-TR; it is a multi-tenanted instyanc
11:59 schestowitz-TR; so you do not even get your own hosted wordpress
11:59 schestowitz-TR; you get an account on some frankeninstall
11:59 schestowitz-TR; so to fidosdev it was a shock we do drupal the old fashioned way
11:59 schestowitz-TR; like, you know, actually putting the files there
11:59 schestowitz-TR; and now just opening an account and giving credit card number
11:59 schestowitz-TR; this led me to thinkning of the skills that would be lost
11:59 schestowitz-TR; and that maybe expolains why my stupid employer
11:59 schestowitz-TR; is deep-throating "clown" everything
12:01 Techrights-sec; yep
12:04 schestowitz-TR; I could go on and on, i literally VANISHED the techrights irc channel from sight

12:05 schestowitz-TR; rioianne is meanwhile posting links, I will jump in after here (we try not to do it concurrently for fear of "dupes")

12:05 schestowitz-TR; after closing our office in july 2020

15:59 schestowitz-TR; f'ing s-, more of the blogs i subed to for linux news turn to 100% spam
15:59 schestowitz-TR; and I don't know whether to delete them, in case they turn back around
15:59 schestowitz-TR; the issue I have is,
15:59 schestowitz-TR; even if they suddenly post some unix/linus "content"
15:59 schestowitz-TR; linking to them would sending in circulation for the spam
15:59 schestowitz-TR; and if it's like 50%+ spam (even 90%), then what am I doing?
16:02 Techrights-sec; For feeds like that, I shunt them into a separate bookmark folder and ignore
16:02 Techrights-sec; them for a /very/ long time and then check on them at some point much later
16:02 Techrights-sec; not very many, in fact none so far, have recovered and been worth moving back
16:02 Techrights-sec; to the main set of feeds / bookmarks
16:02 Techrights-sec; If it's mostly spam then even if they have occasional bait, don't take risk
16:03 schestowitz-TR; I have just disabled updates
16:03 schestowitz-TR; not that I give much of a f about gulag and "search"
16:03 schestowitz-TR; but they can also penalise if linked to
16:03 schestowitz-TR; as a sort of deranking by association
16:07 schestowitz-TR; am i crazy or is the news very very very slow?
16:07 schestowitz-TR; I know the weekend coming up is long
16:07 schestowitz-TR; but in past years the news did not slow until thurs
16:07 schestowitz-TR; I cannot find topics to actually cover

16:16 Techrights-sec; ?
16:16 schestowitz-TR; I have other explanations
16:16 schestowitz-TR; thinking
16:16 schestowitz-TR; while posting linskt o rianne's posts in TM
16:16 schestowitz-TR; let's start with this
16:16 schestowitz-TR; we are part of the issue now
16:16 schestowitz-TR; as we do not post much
16:16 schestowitz-TR; then we ask, why?
16:17 schestowitz-TR; it's a chain effect
16:17 schestowitz-TR; someone needs to 'seed' stories
16:17 schestowitz-TR; wikileaks is dead, but not offically
16:17 schestowitz-TR; also, lack of viable media lowers the incentive to break news
16:17 schestowitz-TR; as if would hardly get noticed
16:17 schestowitz-TR; the media wrotew a lot abotu epo in 2015
16:17 schestowitz-TR; also cited us
16:17 Techrights-sec; ack
16:17 Techrights-sec; well infrasdtructure (word press etc) are getting exponentially complex
16:17 Techrights-sec; oh. primary versus secondary and lesser sources
16:17 Techrights-sec; yes
16:17 Techrights-sec; but there have been several rounds of consolidations, layoffs, and shutdowns
16:17 Techrights-sec; since 205
16:17 Techrights-sec; 2015
16:19 schestowitz-TR; consolidatiob begets coordination such as media blackout
16:19 schestowitz-TR; this morning, from daily links, I got a simialr explanation about inflation
16:19 schestowitz-TR; the food giants control and can price-fix key products
16:19 schestowitz-TR; once you have no alternative to their sodas or whatever
16:19 schestowitz-TR; so it's a well orchestrated move while regimes sit on their palms

16:23 schestowitz-TR; Kieren helped a lot in drawing attention to EPO and UPC scandsals
16:23 schestowitz-TR; not only in the UK as English is widely understood
16:23 schestowitz-TR; he also wasn't soft on Microsoft
16:23 schestowitz-TR; there's a guy I met here for coffee as he covered EPO issues
16:23 schestowitz-TR; that was around the time EPO was going very hardball on the media
16:24 Techrights-sec; that was the BBC article which got spiked?
16:24 schestowitz-TR; different guy. WHo also wrote for Bill's guardian.
16:24 schestowitz-TR; and RMS's mentor
16:25 Techrights-sec; So THe Register pulled the plug on Kieren
16:26 schestowitz-TR; the register hired sjvn
16:26 schestowitz-TR; but he only appears there once in a few weeks
16:27 schestowitz-TR; last article this morning
16:27 schestowitz-TR; pro-"Linux"
16:27 schestowitz-TR; they also hired Liam
16:27 schestowitz-TR; who covers FOSS for them
16:27 schestowitz-TR; that's a net positive actually
16:27 schestowitz-TR; Anderson's cocky "FOSS" coverage was Microsoft shilling
16:27 schestowitz-TR; maybe he got busy doing other things like Microsoft Peter
16:27 schestowitz-TR; pizza and stuff (just kidding, not nice)
16:27 Techrights-sec; I doubt SJVN will ahve the opportunity to redeem himself. Same for The Register
16:27 Techrights-sec; They will not return to the pre-2002 sharp edge they once had
16:29 schestowitz-TR; those were very different time for
16:29 schestowitz-TR; 1) the web
16:29 schestowitz-TR; 2) the economy
16:29 schestowitz-TR; 3) access to media (social control media was not a think, yet)
16:29 schestowitz-TR; 4) many publishers were supported financially by
16:29 schestowitz-TR; a) printed publication
16:29 schestowitz-TR; b) future promises, about the promise of the web, hence investors
16:29 Techrights-sec; back then one couldn't even skim more than a tiny fraction of headdlines
16:29 Techrights-sec; in 2 hours
16:30 schestowitz-TR; yes, i sort of fondly remember those time
16:30 schestowitz-TR; sot of
16:30 schestowitz-TR; as sometimes I felt a litrle drowneed
16:30 schestowitz-TR; info overload
16:30 schestowitz-TR; not you can manage to see all the "important" thing
16:30 schestowitz-TR; and then you see more people linking to the same thing
16:30 schestowitz-TR; and you realise, "it's a small world (wide web)"
16:33 schestowitz-TR; but here isa key things
16:33 schestowitz-TR; it benfits shills like Microsoft
16:33 schestowitz-TR; and reckless orgs like epoo
16:33 schestowitz-TR; because it is cheaper for them to manage the image
16:33 schestowitz-TR; wikipedia+few publishers that still piss at the wind
16:33 schestowitz-TR; and maybe some employees who stroll and troll social control media
16:33 schestowitz-TR; maybe buy some ads in twitter
16:33 schestowitz-TR; get them to censor for you
16:33 schestowitz-TR; "sponsored trends" are thing in Twitter
16:33 schestowitz-TR; Microsoft buys some of them
16:33 schestowitz-TR; the indfian official was right
16:33 schestowitz-TR; some terending is literally ads
16:33 Techrights-sec; yes the small scale means that they need to buy fewer sites to purchase
16:33 Techrights-sec; significant percentages of influence

17:12 Techrights-sec; the browser were a VM
17:12 schestowitz-TR; am adjusting noisetorch
17:12 schestowitz-TR; so that IU can play the RMS talk on one machine
17:12 schestowitz-TR; and record my reaction to it
17:12 schestowitz-TR; on the other
17:12 schestowitz-TR; as it stands, mixing two people or audio sources does not work
17:12 schestowitz-TR; well with noisetorch as it tries to cancel one
17:12 schestowitz-TR; but if it's turned off then you can hear background hum
17:12 schestowitz-TR; the two is 2pm boston time, so I assume 7pm here, 2 hours
17:12 Techrights-sec; interesting
17:12 Techrights-sec; That's in an hour?
17:12 Techrights-sec; or two?
17:12 Techrights-sec; ack
17:16 schestowitz-TR; i thought of this in the kitchen, I think
17:16 schestowitz-TR; and I want to clarify
17:16 schestowitz-TR; there are things RMS won't be "allowed" to say
17:16 schestowitz-TR; we discussed this today in IRC
17:16 schestowitz-TR; so I can try to complete some gaps
17:16 schestowitz-TR; as a side note
17:16 schestowitz-TR; it may take a while for them to upload the talk
17:16 schestowitz-TR; and if I talk back, then it is fair use
17:16 schestowitz-TR; nothing disrespectful
17:16 schestowitz-TR; I am trying to get the logistics right
17:16 schestowitz-TR; it's a sony headphone set from the new laptop lying on the other laptop while I talk in front of it
17:16 schestowitz-TR; if I want to fit in the image of him talking (I think it's spurious, just another man with webcam)
17:16 schestowitz-TR; lips movings, mine do too
17:16 schestowitz-TR; maybe I can shift to the screen after a while and show stuff in the browser while talking
17:16 schestowitz-TR; if the core talk is 1 hour and then q a follows, upload won't take long
17:16 schestowitz-TR; maybe 2 hours
17:16 Techrights-sec; ack
17:16 Techrights-sec; sometimes the questions are actually appropriate and thoughtful
17:18 schestowitz-TR; yes, but they would prolong the recording and the prepared talk is what he properly invested effort
17:18 schestowitz-TR; in. So better to respond to the final product, like assessing a paper rather than
17:18 schestowitz-TR; some unfinished product
17:18 schestowitz-TR; with prepared talk he cannot argue he was caught "off guard"
17:18 Techrights-sec; ack
17:21 Techrights-sec; yes
17:22 schestowitz-TR; I did not look into the noisetorch algo
17:22 schestowitz-TR; but it is very very unsuitable for multiple voices
17:22 schestowitz-TR; all I wanted to do is a threshold being set for removal of 'whitenoise'
17:22 schestowitz-TR; instead it tries to find one sound/voice source, then isolated it
17:22 schestowitz-TR; it would be OK if people did not spead 'on top' of each other or at the
17:22 schestowitz-TR; same time
17:24 Techrights-sec; :(
17:24 Techrights-sec; what about one voice per channel?
17:24 Techrights-sec; are there different channels for RMS and the others or are theu all jumbled
17:24 Techrights-sec; up into one and the same track?
17:24 schestowitz-TR; logistical nightmare because unless yolu use JACK or similar you end up having to load two file
17:24 schestowitz-TR; in a video/audio editor, then mixing them
17:55 Techrights-sec; the streaming should start soon but there is only a placeholder on the
17:55 Techrights-sec; web page...
17:55 schestowitz-TR; yes, I have sharted the link in irc
17:55 schestowitz-TR; the webm
17:55 schestowitz-TR; and noted that it's not up yet
17:55 schestowitz-TR; also see my draft\
17:55 schestowitz-TR; iv'e adjusted the volume a bit to balance the two voices
17:55 schestowitz-TR; assuming they choose "nmormal" volume level
18:04 Techrights-sec; does not seem to work in FF
18:04 Techrights-sec; "The FSF is a charity with a worldwide mission to advance software freedom"
18:05 schestowitz-TR; I have added ogg audio link
18:05 schestowitz-TR; which is working already
18:05 schestowitz-TR; and I play it int he background as it will tell me when the footage starts
18:05 schestowitz-TR; FF works ok for me, but no video yet as it 404s
18:06 Techrights-sec; The Low-Resolution link plays in FF

18:32 schestowitz-TR; [18:17] <schestowitz-TR> if this channel is active

18:32 schestowitz-TR; [18:18] <schestowitz-TR> then we'll have a video or RMS talking
18:32 Techrights-sec; ack
18:32 Techrights-sec; with the delay, I probably won't be able to watch the whole thing live,
18:32 Techrights-sec; perhaps I should just wait to see if they publish it later
18:32 schestowitz-TR; [18:18] <schestowitz-TR> and you responding to him in IRC
18:32 schestowitz-TR; I will start recording soon
18:32 schestowitz-TR; I will focus on the IRC channel
18:32 schestowitz-TR; But may use the browser too
18:32 schestowitz-TR; increased font sizes
18:32 schestowitz-TR; totally experimental
18:32 schestowitz-TR; had to set output to 150% volume on the headphone
18:33 schestowitz-TR; historically, his online talks started later than scheduled
