00:08 schestowitz; LWN is, as expected, full of the corporate shills.

00:08 schestowitz; At least Jon did decide to run with it, possibly upsetting his "masters" at LF.

07:47 Techrights-sec; assagne's defense has not highlighed any freedom of the press issues

07:47 Techrights-sec; also, crimes and evidence of crimes are inelligble for classification

07:47 Techrights-sec; furthermore the judge has an apparent conflict of interest and should have

07:47 Techrights-sec; been recused.

07:47 Techrights-sec; router maintenance

07:47 Techrights-sec; done

07:47 Techrights-sec; doesn't Bill have close ties to Abramovich?

07:48 schestowitz-TR; the Russian Chelsea football club owner of the satanic ritual lady?

10:19 schestowitz-TR; Selling pizzas or something

18:17 schestowitz-TR; "So I have a lot of sympathy for the concept of decentralized finance. The simplest way to summarize my politics is "an

18:17 schestowitz-TR; archist" and people coming together to find ways to organize and exchange resources outside of a government issued curre

18:17 schestowitz-TR; ncy, as supported by the private financial sector's special status for capitalist states, has a lot of appeal to me." ge

18:17 schestowitz-TR; mini://inconsistentuniverse.space/gemlog/2022-02-25-defi.gmi

18:17 schestowitz-TR; that struke a nerve in me

18:17 schestowitz-TR; as I went through a similar trajectory

18:17 schestowitz-TR; meanwhile, gulkagtube treies to cash in

18:17 schestowitz-TR; in a number of ways

18:17 schestowitz-TR; yesterday in IRC I showed clownflare was STILL losing money

18:17 schestowitz-TR; viimeo is killing tee goose

18:17 schestowitz-TR; and maybe other video platforms are next to follow

18:17 schestowitz-TR; it's good we self-host ours

18:18 Techrights-sec; ack

18:18 Techrights-sec; clownflare is about surveillance and censorship, that is worth a lot to various

18:18 Techrights-sec; interests, enough that it won't ever have to make money.

18:18 Techrights-sec; Like Uber, which is to knock the bottom out of th eelabor market and crush

18:18 Techrights-sec; low end unions, it masquerades as something other than what it really is.

18:18 Techrights-sec; Yes, it is very good that self-hosting is still permitted. However, self-

18:18 Techrights-sec; signed certificates are on the way out unless things turn around. If they

18:18 Techrights-sec; don't turn around and if they continue the current path then even self-hosting

18:18 Techrights-sec; will be in danger.

18:19 psydroid2; it beats me why people should be glad that self-hosting is even permitted, as it should be the standard

18:19 psydroid2; is the government only there to protect the interests of companies?

18:19 schestowitz-TR; I have just posted the second batch of Daily Links

18:19 schestowitz-TR; a dozen links there are gemini

18:19 schestowitz-TR; an all-time high

18:19 schestowitz-TR; even if it means less expsoruree

18:19 schestowitz-TR; priuncipl;es counta

18:19 schestowitz-TR; and a "gemini-fiorst" policy would set a good example

18:19 schestowitz-TR; that does not mean no http/s

18:19 schestowitz-TR; but that means we are at pleast playing our part

18:20 Techrights-sec; ack

18:25 Techrights-sec; psydroid2: it /should/ be standard but like vouching for certificates yourself, it is

18:25 Techrights-sec; increasingly looked at ascance by many interests. One set of interests still

18:25 Techrights-sec; wants the WWW to be like what cable TV once was.

18:25 Techrights-sec; However one reason out of several why self-hosting is not the standard is that

18:25 Techrights-sec; there are so damn few people that know anything about how to use computers.

18:25 Techrights-sec; And that number is decreasing every year as people retire and or die. Then

18:25 Techrights-sec; there is the M$ influence on development which ends as every project becomes

18:25 Techrights-sec; so hard to use and complicate beyond comprehension that it eventually implodes.

18:26 Techrights-sec; Look at HTTP versions, especially HTTP/3 as proposed

18:26 Techrights-sec; The only way out is to scrap it and go straight to HTTP4 with improvements

18:26 Techrights-sec; based on HTTP1.1

18:26 Techrights-sec; Improvements not changes for changes sake or complications for job security

18:26 Techrights-sec; sake.

18:46 psydroid2; we could use even lower-power hardware and adjusted software to be able to run servers off solar or battery power

18:47 psydroid2; I think that's more important than offering more and more performance
