07:43 Techrights-sec; restarting httod on tr
07:43 Techrights-sec; it is under very heavy load atm
07:43 Techrights-sec; seems back to normal loat now
07:43 Techrights-sec; ^load
07:45 schestowitz-TR; thanks, been sleeping a little extra this past weekend
07:45 schestowitz-TR; maybe I should not even label it "by accident" anymore
07:45 Techrights-sec; np
07:45 Techrights-sec; though I did not catch the alert for about 30 min
07:48 Techrights-sec; anyway, the load picked up around 05:20
07:48 Techrights-sec; give or take a few minutes
07:49 schestowitz-TR; usually the load surges on TM, for TM reasons, cannot recall that happening on TR for years
07:49 Techrights-sec; ack
09:00 Techrights-sec; checking
09:00 Techrights-sec; url?
09:04 schestowitz-TR; in last night's bulletin there was a bug, which I did not try to understand.
09:04 schestowitz-TR; it could the body of some post about UPC instead of the URL
09:04 schestowitz-TR; and then expanded a link from that article
09:04 schestowitz-TR; this is the first time I see such a bug
09:04 schestowitz-TR; likely some string in there, which it scans for based on some assumption
09:04 schestowitz-TR; so it's likely very rare
09:07 schestowitz-TR; if you open the latest bulltin you will see the last in the post links, which later gets expanded and contains kluwer
09:07 schestowitz-TR; I wrote the code for it in 2020
09:07 schestowitz-TR; I reckon the pattern is scans for is sensitive to something rong
09:07 schestowitz-TR; and either way, I never sw this before
09:07 schestowitz-TR; so this is likely very rare
09:08 Techrights-sec; http://techrights.org/txt-archives/techrights-2022-05-15.txt ??
09:11 schestowitz-TR; yes, let me see the script........
09:11 schestowitz-TR; it scans the rss feed file (~/feed)
09:11 schestowitz-TR; for lines that say techrights, comments, today's date
09:11 schestowitz-TR; /me checks manually
09:17 schestowitz-TR; oh, I see now
09:17 schestowitz-TR; it matches KLUWER URL#comments
09:17 schestowitz-TR; I linked to the comments there
09:17 schestowitz-TR; and same line said Techrights
09:17 schestowitz-TR; and had the date
09:17 schestowitz-TR; so it was caught in the net too
09:17 schestowitz-TR; it's so rare that I wonder if worthy of writing a fix for
09:17 schestowitz-TR; and then risk introducing new bugs
09:17 schestowitz-TR; I won't 'fix' it
09:17 schestowitz-TR; but at least I now know WHY it happened
09:20 schestowitz-TR; i cannot express enough gratitude for the "Links" tools you've made, they've enabled me to do about 3 batches per day
09:20 schestowitz-TR; years ago it was at most 1 per day
09:20 schestowitz-TR; in our company we still wait for 1-on-1 meetings to determine ways forward
09:20 schestowitz-TR; I will likely go part time
09:20 schestowitz-TR; which I think isn't just required but also desirable
09:20 schestowitz-TR; I did consider it in the past, but it was easy money, so did not actively pursue this
09:20 schestowitz-TR; in fact, one of us working (alone) would cover the spendings
09:20 schestowitz-TR; even part time
09:20 schestowitz-TR; and with more sleep I won't look at 52 like a brother of Nilks Torvalds at 80
09:21 schestowitz-TR; *Nils
09:21 Techrights-sec; np
09:21 Techrights-sec; excellent
09:22 schestowitz-TR; last night I got more poiners and tips re Nat Friedman
09:22 schestowitz-TR; but I don't know enough about Stripe
09:22 schestowitz-TR; so it's a long haul
09:22 schestowitz-TR; I really ought to press on with that series, but lost motivation after Alex, Nat, and Miguel left
09:23 schestowitz-TR; it's quite likely I'll just duimp redacted things into IRC where it's too gossipy
09:23 schestowitz-TR; and not of sufficienty substance
09:24 Techrights-sec; ack
09:25 schestowitz-TR; doing workout in a moment
09:25 schestowitz-TR; then I need to shave (dry shave to lower gas bills)

14:09 schestowitz-TR; draft
14:09 Techrights-sec; in the video Nn-SGblUhi4 they each slammed LP multiple times and didn't get
14:09 Techrights-sec; much recognition from the audience and LP himself pretended not to notice
14:09 Techrights-sec; or was too obtuse to notice
14:11 Techrights-sec; the draft could use a few words summarizing the press release
14:15 schestowitz-TR; ok, >I will add something
14:15 schestowitz-TR; text revised a bit
14:15 Techrights-sec; thanks
14:15 Techrights-sec; btw the Nn-SGblUhi4 was from 2011, more than a decade ago
14:15 Techrights-sec; ok checking
14:16 Techrights-sec; Is the a two or three word gist of the talking points or would that be
14:16 Techrights-sec; given them too much advertising?
14:17 schestowitz-TR; the pr is content-free
14:17 schestowitz-TR; made by empty-headed pr drones
14:17 schestowitz-TR; word salad
14:17 Techrights-sec; the description can say that right out perhaps
14:18 schestowitz-TR; the video has many words in it, but the pr is not the main point though
14:18 schestowitz-TR; it's just the most recent 'thing'
14:19 schestowitz-TR; it is partly the response to last week's BS about "security"
14:19 schestowitz-TR; SBOM etc.
14:19 schestowitz-TR; reminding people to ignore these shills
14:19 schestowitz-TR; without showing the FUD
14:19 Techrights-sec; ack
14:19 schestowitz-TR; even kaniini, on the payroll, made fun of these things (in IRC)
14:19 Techrights-sec; ack
14:20 schestowitz-TR; I think LF is losing the plot
14:20 schestowitz-TR; people know it's there not to do anything for "us" but for "them"
14:20 schestowitz-TR; I don't know what to do about shithub
14:21 schestowitz-TR; but the video mentions how LF is github outsourcer
14:22 schestowitz-TR; impoirtant point:
14:22 schestowitz-TR; REMIND PEOPLE LINUX ~= LF
14:22 schestowitz-TR; and that we should cut them off the joint
14:22 schestowitz-TR; that alone would help a lot
14:22 schestowitz-TR; they keep using the logo, mascot, LT..
14:22 schestowitz-TR; while writing press releses for Mirosoft
14:26 Techrights-sec; ack
14:26 schestowitz-TR; it feeels like chasing miguel and nat is pointless
14:26 schestowitz-TR; like wrtiting about novell in 2022
14:26 schestowitz-TR; we don';t know yet if they represent a threat
14:26 schestowitz-TR; and, if so, how much
14:26 schestowitz-TR; but I have more material
14:26 schestowitz-TR; EPO more urgent atm, imho
14:29 schestowitz-TR; i don't know how scandalous lunduke is and why
14:29 schestowitz-TR; I know he got flak over the elementary os thing (something trans, not sure what he said about her)
14:29 schestowitz-TR; and then the whole covid-19 rantsy-pantsy
14:29 schestowitz-TR; but aside from that, he eliminated himself from the public eye
14:29 schestowitz-TR; and if I associate with his rants about LF, that might actually weaken out argument
14:29 schestowitz-TR; playing the "semite" card against suse a decade after he left seems like a low blow
14:29 schestowitz-TR; a
14:29 schestowitz-TR; looking hard for eye-catching material
14:29 schestowitz-TR; can one report to irs something like lf?
14:29 schestowitz-TR; if so, it might be worth pursuing

15:18 Techrights-sec; tax info these days
15:18 schestowitz-TR; draft
15:18 schestowitz-TR; can you ask an accountant if that may mean the status is revoked/reconsidered?
15:21 schestowitz-TR; A US citizens dhould phone them up
15:21 schestowitz-TR; "hi, my name is john, I'm calling about thing org you exempt from tax and claims too
15:21 schestowitz-TR; represent something which it is in fact attacking for profit
15:21 schestowitz-TR; your web site does not provde me with the transparency I need to justify

15:21 schestowitz-TR; is anything wrong? can you add it this week?
15:21 schestowitz-TR; "
15:23 schestowitz-TR; you started typing something
15:23 schestowitz-TR; maybe there is a back and forth process of appeal
15:23 schestowitz-TR; so lf keeps tight-lipped
15:23 schestowitz-TR; and maybe evbenm some irs staff was tipped off re TR
15:23 schestowitz-TR; and is thus investigating
15:30 Techrights-sec; yes, perhaps they are arguing about the loss of the 503(c)(6) status
15:30 Techrights-sec; https://projects.propublica.org/nonprofits/organizations/460503801
15:30 Techrights-sec; However propublica has the form from the year ending Dec 2019

15:30 -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-projects.propublica.org | The Linux Foundation - Nonprofit Explorer - ProPublica
15:30 Techrights-sec; Even at that rate, the 2020 report should have been filed already
15:31 schestowitz-TR; that report is not accessible
15:31 schestowitz-TR; and has not been since then
15:31 schestowitz-TR; unlike all the other orgs

15:39 schestowitz-TR; see latest post
15:39 schestowitz-TR; that is the authoritativew one
15:40 Techrights-sec; yes that's all there is so far, at least from official, public sources
15:42 schestowitz-TR; i did not mention it in my post ("aparanoia" smear) but last Dec when I wrote about this the LF
15:42 schestowitz-TR; suddely unleashed a massive amount of fluff
15:42 schestowitz-TR; and then they ran out for weeks
15:42 schestowitz-TR; it felt like maybe they attempted to make a lot of noice
15:42 schestowitz-TR; the same days I also showed that Zemlin had deleted all his tweets (I think about 4k of them)
15:44 Techrights-sec; yes something is up, but this far removed from things it is hard to say what

15:49 schestowitz-TR; ow. No tax... the wife is paid by Microsoft http://techrights.org/2022/05/14/microsoft-breadwinner/
15:49 schestowitz-TR; if you know an accountant, more so a non-profits savvy one, it's worth asking

15:49 schestowitz-TR; and maybe go deeper

19:56 schestowitz-TR; cause not known
19:56 Techrights-sec; yes I was slow in restarting httpd, for a few seconds after it was first
19:56 Techrights-sec; restarted there was a tremendous load on the system
20:03 Techrights-sec; but the gist is that restarting httpd brought the service back
20:06 schestowitz-TR; the espeak addition can increment or decrement the loudness of the alert
20:06 schestowitz-TR; depending on how many alerts in a row there are
