09:00 Techrights-sec; excllent that JD might have a way forward
09:00 schestowitz-TR; only because many of us pushed for it
09:03 Techrights-sec; still it is good news nonetheless
09:04 schestowitz-TR; reacording the video last night was a goodoutlet
09:04 schestowitz-TR; at the same time it helped me know what was going on in the "IP" world
09:04 schestowitz-TR; the upload will finish in a few minutes
09:04 schestowitz-TR; it took 12 hours all in all
09:04 schestowitz-TR; the text will be more important than the video, which like I said was
09:04 schestowitz-TR; a bit of an outlet
09:04 schestowitz-TR; the draft is in place IF you went to have a peek
09:07 Techrights-sec; ack
09:09 schestowitz-TR; imho
09:09 schestowitz-TR; based on my dad
09:09 schestowitz-TR; the lies are not new
09:09 schestowitz-TR; the corrupt media is not news
09:09 schestowitz-TR; it's a form of bsusiness to them
09:09 schestowitz-TR; corrupt alike
09:09 schestowitz-TR; now it is a lot more visible
09:09 schestowitz-TR; having said that, in areas like patents it became really bad
09:09 schestowitz-TR; even if you do not count gulag's contribution to it
09:09 schestowitz-TR; in the video I mention how gnu/linux fud evolved too
09:09 schestowitz-TR; and how blasting people for liars helps discourage them from doing it again
09:09 schestowitz-TR; they need to change their lies
09:11 Techrights-sec; yes, calling them out discourages them but more is needed for the ones that
09:11 Techrights-sec; have no ethics, calling those out does not do enough
09:11 schestowitz-TR; spamnil took the foot off the padeal
09:11 schestowitz-TR; I wanted to tell you yesterday
09:11 schestowitz-TR; but did not want to sound petty
09:11 schestowitz-TR; eventually i mentioned it in irc
09:11 schestowitz-TR; a lot of people vanish freom the scene out of shame
09:11 Techrights-sec; ^pedal
09:11 Techrights-sec; Linux.com and OpenSource.com are intentionally wasting away.
09:11 Techrights-sec; THey push out almost no content, and what content they do push is utter crap
09:11 Techrights-sec; so both factors drive peope away.
09:17 schestowitz-TR; atm, imo, we need to get MORE people involved in responding to the BS
09:17 schestowitz-TR; because if eough people cause their shame
09:17 schestowitz-TR; they either cdhange
09:17 schestowitz-TR; or suit
09:17 schestowitz-TR; both are good outcome
09:17 schestowitz-TR; in the long wer can do ok because we cover things nobody else covers
09:17 schestowitz-TR; and which need to be covered
09:17 schestowitz-TR; 8 years ago i told rms that trolling against him had subsided somewhat
09:17 schestowitz-TR; the technical and legal arguments were strong
09:17 schestowitz-TR; things like don't use github (2015)
09:17 schestowitz-TR; so they move to create some straw man
09:17 schestowitz-TR; spinning a pro-ethics person as objectionable,
09:18 Techrights-sec; yes more people pushing back helps, a difficultly there is that there are no
09:18 Techrights-sec; open forums for discussion. /. was crushed reddet was fucked from day 1, etc.
09:18 Techrights-sec; Yes, shills and astroturfers have been used against RMS and others.
09:33 Techrights-sec; use of strawmen and other forms of distraction is very, very common
09:35 schestowitz-TR; i used to hypothesise how i too can be targeted by this
09:35 schestowitz-TR; yearsd ago i told rianne theyy can make something up about women;s issues
09:35 schestowitz-TR; which did happen years later
09:35 schestowitz-TR; i can think of 3 hypothetical lines of attack
09:35 Techrights-sec; :(
09:35 Techrights-sec; They'll complain about what ever they can get to stick, real or imagined

19:07 Techrights-sec; I added some timeouts and shorted the old ones in gemini-cron-updater.sh and
19:07 Techrights-sec; that seems to have dealt with the lockfile problem finally. It looks like
19:07 Techrights-sec; some of the parts of the script were taking *way* too long to interact with
19:07 Techrights-sec; TR over HTTP.
19:07 schestowitz-TR; a lot of that boils down to traffic shaping, which prioritises gemini afaik
