08:57 -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-www.neowin.net | Humble Bundle retires all Mac and Linux games from the Humble Trove starting February 1st - Neowin
08:57 schestowitz; <p>The news comes one day after Humble announced changes to its Humble Choice subscription model which, while buried in the announcement, requires use of their new launcher. Its a minor blow to those who pre-ordered Steam Deck or will be running Steam OS 3.0 next month. Its a big year for gaming on Linux and an even bigger year for portable gaming as new users around the world are set to get their hands on the powerful
08:57 schestowitz; device. But for Humble Bundle, its seemingly not worth the effort.</p>
08:57 schestowitz; <p>For those who remember, Humble Bundle started out offering DRM free games for Linux way back in 2010. At that point in time they were indeed a humble outfit.</p></blockquote></li>

09:15 Techrights-sec; It's feasible to migrate a RPi4 to boot from USB stick with minimal down time.
09:15 Techrights-sec; However since I included both a hardware and operating system upgrade, there
09:15 Techrights-sec; are a lot of loose ends to tie up. That includes notifications and such.
09:15 schestowitz-TR2; ok
09:15 schestowitz-TR2; I worry a bit about debian
09:15 schestowitz-TR2; last night norbert (kde, latex packages etc.) said he would leave his stuff orphaned
09:16 schestowitz-TR2; a day earlier debian said it had gotten jkust two new DDs in 2 months

09:26 Techrights-sec; It's feasible to migrate a RPi4 to boot from USB stick with minimal down time.
09:26 Techrights-sec; However since I included both a hardware and operating system upgrade, there
09:26 Techrights-sec; are a lot of loose ends to tie up. That includes notifications and such.
09:26 Techrights-sec; I presume it is part of the sea change in the project that occured with the
09:26 Techrights-sec; TC takeover / intrigue which shoehorned 4th place choice, systemd, throughout
09:26 Techrights-sec; the distro. There have been many other scandals since then.
09:26 Techrights-sec; There are two conflicting situations affecting all potential developers there
09:26 Techrights-sec; and elsewhere. One is that volunteer project members want to focus on the
09:26 Techrights-sec; code and not CoCs and other barriers to focusing on the code. The other is, as
09:26 Techrights-sec; RMS points out, you can ignore the politics but the politics won't ignore you.
09:26 Techrights-sec; Those two facts cause problems where they collide.
09:26 Techrights-sec; Speaking of politics notice that the US' concern about critical infrastructure
09:26 Techrights-sec; is shifting all of the blame and attention on to FOSS. At the same time
09:26 Techrights-sec; only the big, proprietary vendors are invided to the planning sessions with the
09:26 Techrights-sec; government. They bring in clowns instead of the big names. They should at least
09:26 Techrights-sec; be consulting with Bruce Perens, Bruce Schneier, Dan Geer, Moxie Marlinspike,
09:26 Techrights-sec; etc.
09:26 Techrights-sec; Eugene Spafford, etc.
09:26 Techrights-sec; (notice that Spaf's quote about Windows is now missing from pretty much every
09:26 Techrights-sec; page that includes his old quotes...)
09:28 Techrights-sec; Daniel Bernstein, Paul Vixie,
09:28 schestowitz-TR2; Yes, I have noticed the same, mentioned in passing in last night';s video
09:39 schestowitz; http://techrights.org/2021/05/02/ransomware-task-force/
09:39 -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-techrights.org | Microsoft-Centric Ransomware Task Force | Techrights
09:39 Techrights-sec; even RMS and Linus Torvalds could add benefit if they had not been reframed
09:39 Techrights-sec; as controversial by the attackers now moving in and out of DC.
09:39 Techrights-sec; Wietse Venema is in the US too
09:39 Techrights-sec; Phill Zimmermann is still around too
09:39 Techrights-sec; the list of knowledgable, skilled, experienced people is long. No need for them
09:39 Techrights-sec; to include any frauds, charlatans, or poseurs. But that's what we get when
09:39 Techrights-sec; M$ reps got in on the campaign team. Many of those involved in LibreSSL and
09:39 Techrights-sec; OpenSSL are in the US as well.
09:39 Techrights-sec; M$ created the problems, and therefore is unable to solve them and it would be
09:39 Techrights-sec; inappropriate to even have them involved.
09:39 Techrights-sec; There's a famous quote which goes approximately like this, "we cannot solve our
09:39 Techrights-sec; problems with the same thinking we used to create them." As such M$
09:39 Techrights-sec; representatives have to be cleared from the room long, long before discussion
09:39 Techrights-sec; can start.
09:43 Techrights-sec; ack
09:43 Techrights-sec; Ransomware is just one symptom of microsoftianism. Even if Windows is retained
09:43 Techrights-sec; for a shorter period on the desktop, servers could run FreeBSD with OpenZFS.
09:43 Techrights-sec; The snapshotting feature would make data restoration much less inconvenient.
09:43 Techrights-sec; However, any real plan has to eliminate M$ from both the desktop and the
09:43 Techrights-sec; supporting infrastructure. That is a staffing problem not a technical one.
09:58 Techrights-sec; Even microsofters, such as Mitchel Lewis, observe that, but most don't dare
09:58 Techrights-sec; speak up. I presume fear of NDAs and non-disparagement clauses in various
09:58 Techrights-sec; contracts, especially terinations.
09:59 Techrights-sec; shopuld we do some article about this?
09:59 schestowitz-TR2; shopuld we do some article about this?
10:06 Techrights-sec; About the disappearance of the Spafford quote? It used to be cited everywhere
10:06 Techrights-sec; but most of those sites are gone and the rest seem to have redacted just that one
10:06 Techrights-sec; quote.

12:40 Techrights-sec; is there a /usable/ API for wordpress? Or must one spend two weeks learning and
12:40 Techrights-sec; debugging it?
12:40 schestowitz-TR; If there is one, it probably sucks
12:50 Techrights-sec; Maybe the site could be moved to Hugo or something for all new pages. For all
12:50 Techrights-sec; old URLs a redirect to static, archived copies could be used. Both Apache2 and
12:50 Techrights-sec; Nginx can do that redirection easily. wget could be used to scrape and make the
12:50 Techrights-sec; static archive.
12:51 schestowitz-TR; there would be many practical limitations
12:51 *psydroid4 (~psydroid@cqggrmwgu7gji.irc) has joined #boycottnovell
13:19 Techrights-sec; What do you see as the main practical limitations? It would greatly reduce the
13:19 Techrights-sec; amount of system resources required by the site. I figure maintenance would
13:19 Techrights-sec; be much easier too.
13:19 schestowitz-TR; things like site search and linking between posts would be a lot harder
13:21 Techrights-sec; the links would remain the same but nothing dynamic between new and old.

14:16 Techrights-sec; and
14:16 Techrights-sec; aplay /usr/share/quiterss/sound/notification.wav
14:16 Techrights-sec; I think I have restored the audio.
14:16 Techrights-sec; No, just a heads up that I was having to logout/login again. It is necessary
14:17 Techrights-sec; to do that to adjust group memberships so that the audio and other alerts can
14:17 Techrights-sec; be used again.
14:17 schestowitz-TR; ok, I ask because I heard lots of sounds while I was talking and thought maybe I had lost many things you typed
14:17 schestowitz-TR; I was just recording
14:17 schestowitz-TR; did you say something before resetting this chat session?
14:17 Techrights-sec; Sorry, just adjusting the activity alerts here.
14:19 Techrights-sec; I have them through a script
14:19 Techrights-sec; now so it far easier and less disruptive to adjust it. Now only the script
14:19 Techrights-sec; has to be adjusted for changes whereas before I had hardcoded stuff into tmux.
14:19 Techrights-sec; Also, I have an idea for a better chat method but it might take a week or two
14:19 Techrights-sec; to hammer out the details. It'd use tmux but not ytalk.
14:45 schestowitz-TR; OK, video processing
14:45 schestowitz-TR; now I finished the text
14:45 schestowitz-TR; maybe next time when I record I'll send a sign I'm "on air"
14:45 schestowitz-TR; as the session restarting and all (special sounds) distracted me a great deal ;-
14:46 Techrights-sec; ;(
14:46 Techrights-sec; sound good
14:46 schestowitz-TR; maybe "ota"
14:49 Techrights-sec; I use hooks in tmux to monitor activity launch an alert script, so to silence
14:49 Techrights-sec; the script, i make this window active. Making any other window active or
14:49 Techrights-sec; detaching the session makes tmux trigger the script upon any fresh activity
14:49 Techrights-sec; in this window.
