08:31 schestowitz-TR; apropos, you sent a very timely link about china
08:31 schestowitz-TR; and how they police hashtags and such to identify and mute protest-related messages

12:43 schestowitz-TR; the first is uk and xenophobia/sex leader ("market leader")
12:43 schestowitz-TR; the second is pro-GOP rag in US of A
12:43 schestowitz-TR; not very simular audience, but will check the wording now...
12:48 schestowitz-TR; the photography seems distinct
12:49 schestowitz-TR; dailyFail claims this to be "special investigation for [itself]"
12:49 schestowitz-TR; washington times cites aspanish-basded "human rights org"
12:49 schestowitz-TR; so they cannot both be trut?
12:49 schestowitz-TR; if you click on the dailymail author, onlu 2 articcles show up
12:49 schestowitz-TR; so it's john smith-like
12:49 schestowitz-TR; so you reckon spies might be feeding them these red-baiting pieces?
12:53 schestowitz-TR; some years ago I pointed out that murdoch rags kept attacking china
12:53 schestowitz-TR; after reupert had a nasty breakup with then-wife wendy deng (iirc, the name)
12:53 schestowitz-TR; but anyway, china is not trustworthy, we already know how they censor unis here
12:53 schestowitz-TR; and elsewhere
12:53 schestowitz-TR; it's like saudi money, but not derived from fossil fuel
12:53 techrights-sec; Yes, their "institutes" and the accompanying funding appear mostly vechicles
12:53 techrights-sec; for academic censorship and manipulation.
12:57 schestowitz-TR; analogy
12:57 schestowitz-TR; 1) microsoft loves open source
12:57 schestowitz-TR; 2) microsoft offers money
12:57 schestowitz-TR; 3) microsoft loves linus
12:57 schestowitz-TR; 4) mo money
12:57 schestowitz-TR; 5) microsoft enters board for (2) and (4)
12:57 schestowitz-TR; 6) microsoft threatens to withdraw money unless demands met
12:57 schestowitz-TR; here, the tuition fees (about 20k/year) are 'slush funds' fodder
12:57 schestowitz-TR; disclosure: I dated an mba student from china here
12:57 schestowitz-TR; we were intimate and I even settld her accounts from her after she left to beijing
12:57 schestowitz-TR; (no messy break-up basically)
12:57 techrights-sec; 5) is the worst, most damaging move they have been helped into by quislings

13:25 schestowitz-TR; going back to the original point (china), before liberation korea was japenese empire (since 1910 iirc), so this
13:25 schestowitz-TR; was a way for japan to have a go at china by land
13:25 schestowitz-TR; imagine if you will a "west hawaii" with many chinese military bases in it and then some more in mexico

14:12 schestowitz-TR; at risk of being called racist
14:12 schestowitz-TR; people who live in an average african nation do not live very long
14:12 schestowitz-TR; not many maintenance drugs available
14:12 schestowitz-TR; and it's a fact that COVID-19 is an "old people" killer
14:12 schestowitz-TR; anyway, I did try to find some covid material
14:12 schestowitz-TR; but there's not much quality journalism
14:13 schestowitz-TR; in today's links file I saw just one links that merely mentioned it in passingf
14:13 schestowitz-TR; at most 2
14:13 schestowitz-TR; after 36 months it is "out of fashion" and does not attract many clicks
14:13 schestowitz-TR; hence, "not important"
14:13 schestowitz-TR; so what if in my age group there are now 10% more deaths?
14:13 schestowitz-TR; doesn't matter why, go warch some football match
14:13 schestowitz-TR; btw, last night I checked who john cambell is
14:13 schestowitz-TR; he's a nurse teacher with a phd in making medical info more widely accessible
14:13 schestowitz-TR; hence his very many videos with his lectures, since 15 years ago
14:13 schestowitz-TR; he is based in carlyle now, not too far from us
14:13 schestowitz-TR; i noticed he gets 'trolled' a bit, not just by MSM
14:13 schestowitz-TR; efforts to discredit his qualifications
14:13 techrights-sec; yes ad hominem is used 1) because it works, 2) there are no arguments of substance
14:13 techrights-sec; That connects to the ongoing smears againts JA
14:22 schestowitz-TR; for gulag, campbell is dead man walking
14:22 schestowitz-TR; they already decided he had violated "community guidelines"
14:22 schestowitz-TR; they just look for a second "trigger" for another strike
14:22 schestowitz-TR; he is well aware
14:22 schestowitz-TR; they can take down over 1000 videos in one fell swoop
14:22 schestowitz-TR; some have millions of views and cover covid19
14:22 schestowitz-TR; more like the way I've covered that for years
14:22 schestowitz-TR; and that 'defames' billbc and other outlets that don't disclose conflict of interest
14:22 schestowitz-TR; billPR needs to do more pieces tying that to "conpiracy theories"
14:22 schestowitz-TR; billBC already escalated to "debunking" the youtube man
14:22 schestowitz-TR; like this is "news"... having to respond to retired teacher with still-accessible
14:22 schestowitz-TR; youtube channel
14:22 schestowitz-TR; this has 'CPC' all over it (the tactics that us)
14:22 schestowitz-TR; *is
14:22 schestowitz-TR; but in china they would have gone to his home by now and 'help' him find therapists in some local clinic
14:22 schestowitz-TR; mark my words: his channel will be removed, it's just a question of when
14:22 schestowitz-TR; he has to apologise upfront for anything that might somehow be spun as racist
14:22 schestowitz-TR; and use terms like "dark-skinned" or "lactating persons"
14:22 schestowitz-TR; walking a tightrope

14:34 schestowitz-TR; [due to one-minute network outage, repetition below]
14:36 schestowitz-TR; self-hosting would be hard for him due to scale
14:36 schestowitz-TR; never mind dead links
14:36 schestowitz-TR; and followers who follow a url or platform
14:36 schestowitz-TR; without redirection/forwarding
14:36 schestowitz-TR; but remember, gulag is NOT free hosting
14:36 schestowitz-TR; they earn almost nothing from 20-min videos of 'boring' lecttures
14:36 schestowitz-TR; if's the curation that vcurries favours with regimes
14:36 schestowitz-TR; if not not, then tomorrow, or a decade later
14:36 schestowitz-TR; those who can delete history can decide what history is
14:36 schestowitz-TR; but first they need the centralisation
14:36 schestowitz-TR; of eyeballs/attention
14:36 schestowitz-TR; then they start flagging, intimidating, removing
14:36 schestowitz-TR; RT and hosts for RT ("empire files", chris hedges) invested a lot in youtube presence
14:36 schestowitz-TR; all flushed with the flick of a switch
14:36 schestowitz-TR; the next project maven contract might be fatter
14:36 schestowitz-TR; lunduke wrote about the TBs needed to host videos
14:36 schestowitz-TR; and also, more platforms is not self-hosting
14:36 schestowitz-TR; it's just more eggs in a basket
14:36 schestowitz-TR; this this scale it would work if everyone used peertube to get to his videos
14:36 schestowitz-TR; enough people online to go down and upstream
14:36 schestowitz-TR; but people are made or convinced to use "apps" and not even a web site

14:37 techrights-sec; correct, yet it is a step towards self-hosting
14:43 schestowitz-TR; at this stage, banning his channel (i.e. deleting everything) is all about optics
14:43 schestowitz-TR; or PR 'damage control'
14:43 schestowitz-TR; to avoid some of those twitter backlashstorms that typically are the only
14:43 schestowitz-TR; way to overturn a youtube "strike"
14:43 schestowitz-TR; but I'd tell him
14:43 schestowitz-TR; from my experience, "you're very likely on borrowed time now"
14:43 schestowitz-TR; they can of course (yes, seen this!) find something in some very old video
14:43 schestowitz-TR; which they claim offends someone
14:43 schestowitz-TR; even if not uniformly applied across a platform
14:43 schestowitz-TR; like how to use some p2p softare
14:43 schestowitz-TR; or some information on a security flaw
14:43 schestowitz-TR; then issue a strike against years-old videos
14:43 schestowitz-TR; and asking him to accept that it was bad _at the time_
14:43 schestowitz-TR; this is what snowden too spoke about when alluding to years upon years of mass surveillance
14:43 schestowitz-TR; and meticulous details about who you phoned, where you walked, and what they insist that means

14:43 schestowitz-TR; linking him to people who merely went to the same event
14:43 schestowitz-TR; this is a marriage of so-called 'SWJs' (outrage culture/culture) and military/spy agencies
14:43 schestowitz-TR; they use false pretenses or pretexts for entirely unrelated purposes
14:43 schestowitz-TR; such as election meddling
14:44 techrights-sec; it is also important to use the other platforms to get attention to the idea
14:44 techrights-sec; of *anything* other than Youtube, othewise it becomes all there is
14:44 techrights-sec; You could make an ennumerated list of all the options and explain why self-
14:44 techrights-sec; hosting is still the best option of them all
14:44 techrights-sec; ^ topic ?
14:44 techrights-sec; ack
14:49 schestowitz-TR; unfortunately, slef-hosting is very expensive for videos
14:49 schestowitz-TR; and scales upwards very poortly
14:49 schestowitz-TR; for several reasons
14:49 schestowitz-TR; so one aspect of interest is, keep specs low
14:49 schestowitz-TR; like small pages, static
14:49 schestowitz-TR; like gemini at home
14:49 schestowitz-TR; there are many other facets, like... if you made it big on platform x, can you drag that to platform y?
14:49 schestowitz-TR; a) what % would follow
14:49 schestowitz-TR; b) what absolute number follows and what provisioning is now needed for self-hosting
14:49 schestowitz-TR; a channel with a million views per day (~70mb) would be 70,000 GB per day
14:49 schestowitz-TR; and if you try to profit from it, then they call you greedy
14:49 schestowitz-TR; even if just to pay some host, which they can censor anyway
14:49 schestowitz-TR; the internet is still centralised upstream
14:49 schestowitz-TR; there are no "community"-owned underwater cables
14:49 schestowitz-TR; wireless meshes were our best chance, but those will never work intl'ly unless we can fire satellites into orbit
14:49 schestowitz-TR; with community rockets
14:49 schestowitz-TR; or get "community" submarines with GPS tracking to warn boats when they drop anchors

15:00 *Noisytoot (~noisytoot@tkbibjhmbkvb8.irc) has joined #boycottnovell
15:07 schestowitz-TR; thought:
15:07 schestowitz-TR; how to censor my site, schestowitz.com
15:07 schestowitz-TR; there is trhe host
15:07 schestowitz-TR; there is dns
15:07 schestowitz-TR; the dns system would not target sites for "community guidelines"
15:07 schestowitz-TR; also I pay for the domain
15:07 schestowitz-TR; as for webhost, I pay them
15:07 schestowitz-TR; unlike youtube users
15:07 schestowitz-TR; so as long as it's not illegal, fine with them
15:07 schestowitz-TR; now compare to youtube 'free' hosting or lbry
15:07 schestowitz-TR; lbry afaik does not give you your own domain really
15:07 schestowitz-TR; so your links can break
15:07 schestowitz-TR; but I don't know the protocol well
15:07 schestowitz-TR; I just know many links to their video on a domain they do not own or control
15:07 schestowitz-TR; fosspatents and 9to5linux use blogspot and wordpress.com
15:07 schestowitz-TR; but at least they use their own domain
15:07 schestowitz-TR; not .wordpress.com or .blogspot.com
15:07 techrights-sec; ack
15:07 techrights-sec; If it were a static site, it could be easily mirrored, or with some work
15:07 techrights-sec; a static mirror could be made anyway
15:09 schestowitz-TR; I spoke to florian about this ages ago
15:09 schestowitz-TR; I think wordpress.com and gulag become DNS managers but not registrars
15:09 schestowitz-TR; so you could take control over the domain from them
15:09 schestowitz-TR; I think it's safe to predict osysee won't be online in 20 yeaars
15:09 schestowitz-TR; or 10... or 5
15:09 schestowitz-TR; or not with the videos on there
15:09 schestowitz-TR; many sites die when they need to move
15:09 schestowitz-TR; and "start over"
15:09 schestowitz-TR; and then the motivation is dead
15:09 schestowitz-TR; like taking a 5-level demotion
15:12 techrights-sec; Correct, odysee won't be around in 10 or 20 years, but that does not diminish
15:12 techrights-sec; its value *right now* as one of many ways to avoid YouTube
15:16 schestowitz-TR; the other day lunduke uploaded a dready new video to youtube
15:16 schestowitz-TR; it got a meager 700 views
15:16 schestowitz-TR; a lot less than before
15:16 schestowitz-TR; but at least 95% of that was real, not 95% fake
15:16 schestowitz-TR; I was surprised to see how few people watch LF videos
15:16 schestowitz-TR; despite the "claim" of 150k+ "subscribers"
15:16 schestowitz-TR; rianne knows today's youtube well and can see different ratio
15:16 schestowitz-TR; so maybe a real legit topic would be LF faking its reach
15:16 schestowitz-TR; as per the brochures
15:16 schestowitz-TR; to overcharge people
15:16 schestowitz-TR; like overhyping diploma mills
15:16 schestowitz-TR; in techrepublican
15:16 schestowitz-TR; you linked to one exampel today
15:16 schestowitz-TR; there were about 4 news examples the past 2 years
15:16 schestowitz-TR; somehing "linux" in title, but diploma webspam
15:16 schestowitz-TR; (marketing)
15:17 techrights-sec; Few that follow him keep any ties to youtube
15:20 schestowitz-TR; partly his own fault
15:20 schestowitz-TR; the irony
15:20 schestowitz-TR; doing to yoyutube forums
15:20 schestowitz-TR; telling people to quit youtube
15:20 schestowitz-TR; and then coming back to youtube
15:20 schestowitz-TR; awful
15:20 schestowitz-TR; same in twitter
15:20 schestowitz-TR; need your help:
15:20 schestowitz-TR; for twitter I used to have a tool to computer ratio of real vs fake "followers"
15:20 schestowitz-TR; I used to do this to @Epoorg
15:20 schestowitz-TR; I want to do the same to LF
15:20 schestowitz-TR; they are fakes and charlatans like crypto sheels microsoft
15:20 schestowitz-TR; so I am sure a lot are fake
15:20 schestowitz-TR; the ratio of subecribers/vies indicates many, many are fake
15:20 schestowitz-TR; bought and paid for
15:20 schestowitz-TR; so they can overcharge for "advocacy" and "influencers"
15:20 schestowitz-TR; via bacon, spamnil etc.
15:20 schestowitz-TR; they also appear to have paid someone to groom their wikipedia aricles/s
15:20 schestowitz-TR; so that they're just marketing bvrochures in "article" clothing
15:20 techrights-sec; ok
15:20 techrights-sec; s/crypto/cryptocurrency/
15:26 schestowitz-TR; looking for tools with youtube account check, like the ones for twitter
15:26 schestowitz-TR; brb

15:26 schestowitz-TR; The Linux Foundation, "160K Subscribers"
15:26 schestowitz-TR; vide week old, 59 views
15:26 schestowitz-TR; another at 33
15:26 schestowitz-TR; so how many subscribers would be needed to get 1000 views on these? 50 million?
15:26 schestowitz-TR; rather, 5 million?
15:26 schestowitz-TR; 22 views
15:26 schestowitz-TR; 17 views (several)
15:26 schestowitz-TR; lol 10 views
15:26 schestowitz-TR; woth the effort uploading??
15:26 schestowitz-TR; 7 views!
15:26 schestowitz-TR; 160k subscribers, 7 views

15:39 schestowitz-TR; The old tools that did use to ehck and audit
15:39 schestowitz-TR; don't work or don't exist
15:39 schestowitz-TR; which is a shame really
15:39 schestowitz-TR; I could run those on spamnil too and show a video of LF view counts
15:39 schestowitz-TR; including half a million fake twitter accounts, maybe 90% of them
15:39 schestowitz-TR; it's similar to FBInstagram
15:39 schestowitz-TR; they fake what they are and how ell they do
15:39 schestowitz-TR; which causes insecurity and anxiety among non-cheaters
15:39 techrights-sec; ack
15:39 techrights-sec; Which tools were they?
15:39 techrights-sec; I won't click on spamnil's channel and accidentally give him an extera view
15:39 techrights-sec; :/
15:39 techrights-sec; My random guess is that a slight majority of twitter accounts are inactive,
15:39 techrights-sec; fake, or spam.
15:41 schestowitz-TR; maybe twitter and gulag broke or blocked (API, IPs) to hide their fakeness
15:41 schestowitz-TR; their whole market value depeends on this fakeness
15:41 schestowitz-TR; and the idea you can profit from those "platforms"

15:43 schestowitz-TR; just showed rianne
15:43 schestowitz-TR; she calls it fake
15:43 schestowitz-TR; she knows many channels and the expected subs/view ratio
15:59 schestowitz-TR; fallback: show the numbes
15:59 schestowitz-TR; let the video watcher reach own conclusoon
15:59 schestowitz-TR; the earlier discussion on self-hosting can be mention ed in passing
15:59 schestowitz-TR; we cover some of those aspects before
15:59 schestowitz-TR; wow, lunduke channel:
15:59 techrights-sec; ack
15:59 techrights-sec; Lunduke droppe youtube and told everyone of his fans never to look for his
15:59 techrights-sec; videos there ever again. Whoever or whatever is viewing them is a question.
15:59 schestowitz-TR; 4 days ago, 424 views
15:59 techrights-sec; Certainly not many will be his regular followers.
15:59 schestowitz-TR; 1 months ago 820
15:59 schestowitz-TR; 2 months ago 666
15:59 schestowitz-TR; # of subs=63.1K
15:59 schestowitz-TR; one check that "works"
15:59 schestowitz-TR; says 20% fake for jzemlin
15:59 schestowitz-TR; but times out on linuxfoundation
15:59 schestowitz-TR; I cannot find one for youtube
15:59 schestowitz-TR; maybe due to lack of capacity or lack of business model
15:59 schestowitz-TR; f* this, the wwww is shit
15:59 schestowitz-TR; and you can see there are fakes, but no valid way to properly show this
15:59 schestowitz-TR; the platforms work to hide the fakeness
15:59 schestowitz-TR; i might do a video showing this emprically alone
16:02 schestowitz-TR; I found 3 for twitter
16:02 schestowitz-TR; 0 for youtube
16:02 schestowitz-TR; 1 of the 3 worked, but only for 5,000 first followers
16:02 schestowitz-TR; for LF it doesn't tell you anything about the later 155k
16:02 schestowitz-TR; so pretty much pointless
