09:39 Techrights-sec; The ProxyJump option is very useful
09:40 schestowitz-TR; no, we use -J at work to replay keys
09:40 schestowitz-TR; for this one I could just do 2 hops manually

09:41 schestowitz-TR; ssh -At can also be usedful
09:41 schestowitz-TR; for the agent to pass on the key
09:41 schestowitz-TR; but I'm not sure if it's the same or beign deprecated or...
09:41 schestowitz-TR; I stoped watching buf reports of openssh over RSS feeds ;-)
09:41 schestowitz-TR; *bug
09:42 Techrights-sec; -A has more or less been deprecated by -J though, there are big risks with -A
09:42 Techrights-sec; when passing through untrusted machines. That's not the case here but in
09:42 Techrights-sec; general -J is the way to go. If you do have to ever do agent forwarding through
09:42 Techrights-sec; an somewhat untrusted machine, then it is possible to fire up a one-off agent
09:43 Techrights-sec; just for that one key so that all your other keys don't get sucked along into
09:43 Techrights-sec; the questionable system.

14:03 schestowitz-TR; Micrsooft is an ongoing diaspora
14:03 schestowitz-TR; the company used to hire loads of people

14:03 schestowitz-TR; until now
14:03 schestowitz-TR; catching up
14:03 schestowitz-TR; one point wqe agree on is speculation in trhe economy (so-called)
14:03 schestowitz-TR; the gist of it is,
14:03 schestowitz-TR; there's brainwash for people to "invest in the market"
14:03 schestowitz-TR; when he was young it was unthinkable
14:03 schestowitz-TR; now everyone ties savings to the infantile delusion some companies are worth trillions
14:03 schestowitz-TR; and they use this fake valuation pattern
14:03 schestowitz-TR; to use the SAVERS' money
14:04 schestowitz-TR; (in effect gambling budget)
14:04 schestowitz-TR; to buy other companies
14:04 schestowitz-TR; and pretend to be worth more
14:04 schestowitz-TR; corporate imperialism of sorts
14:04 schestowitz-TR; madofff sceme
14:04 schestowitz-TR; microsoft: we are worth trillions, invest in us, we'll pay you back more
14:04 schestowitz-TR; then the company ios just some ticker/symbol
14:04 schestowitz-TR; for people to speculate with/on
14:04 schestowitz-TR; and they go on a rampage
14:04 schestowitz-TR; like buying github and game studios
14:05 Techrights-sec; ack
14:05 Techrights-sec; M$ hires loads of student researchers, effectively for marketing from the
14:05 Techrights-sec; ground up to poison the computing environments at major univerisities
14:05 Techrights-sec; World-wide, the world's major universities had *far more* functionality
14:05 Techrights-sec; than is available now. Nothing has replaced the combination of
14:05 Techrights-sec; LDAP, Kerberos, AFS, and e-mail. Most universities no longer even have e-mail
14:05 Techrights-sec; having 1) only a "webmail" interface to 2) either Google or M$
14:05 Techrights-sec; Mojang was one of M$ more destructive purchases. Minecraft was a vehicle for
14:05 Techrights-sec; introducing a whole generation to GNU/Linux and IMO the purchase was made
14:05 Techrights-sec; to put an end to that.
14:05 Techrights-sec; s/functionality/functionality back in the 1990s/
14:06 schestowitz-TR; our company used to eb like that
14:06 schestowitz-TR; be clown this, clown that
14:06 schestowitz-TR; I open my mouth a lot more these days
14:06 schestowitz-TR; because I want to get out
14:06 schestowitz-TR; by the end of the year
14:07 Techrights-sec; ack
14:07 Techrights-sec; though really it would be best in the big picture for the company to shape up
14:07 Techrights-sec; and ditch the clown computing and some of the clowns which pushed for it
14:10 schestowitz-TR; "the threesome"
14:10 schestowitz-TR; remember
14:10 schestowitz-TR; theLiar does not understand computing
14:10 schestowitz-TR; so it has become a vertical issue
14:10 schestowitz-TR; where the wrong people are listened to
14:10 schestowitz-TR; usually in the (fake) name of "savings"
14:11 schestowitz-TR; the AWS bill climbed to about $1000 a month
14:11 schestowitz-TR; for just a few instances
14:11 schestowitz-TR; we used to have a whole rack with machines on it
14:11 schestowitz-TR; every xmas instead of giving the staff a little bonus they give amazon voucher
14:11 schestowitz-TR; of course I never used mine
14:11 schestowitz-TR; but they basically think this is ethical
14:11 schestowitz-TR; maybe there is some kickback-like deal associated with that
14:11 schestowitz-TR; I don't follow how these "gift" cards work and why simply giving cash is not a thing
14:12 Techrights-sec; yes and the bullshitters generally are not measured by accomplishment of any
14:12 Techrights-sec; tasks and thus spend the day lobbying and schmoozing
14:12 Techrights-sec; For that money you really could buy and operate a full rack of reasonable
14:12 Techrights-sec; hardware.
14:12 Techrights-sec; :(
14:12 Techrights-sec; barf
14:12 Techrights-sec; AFAIK I have never purchase from Amazon
14:12 Techrights-sec; I plan to keep it that way
14:15 schestowitz-TR; "barf" indeed
14:15 schestowitz-TR; it's like they make it complusory for you to choose bad v endors
14:15 schestowitz-TR; and basically tell you HOW or WHERE to spend "your" moneyh
14:15 schestowitz-TR; imagine salaries giving in this form
14:15 schestowitz-TR; about 8 or 9 years ago they "rewarded" me for good work by sending me a "gift"
14:15 schestowitz-TR; card for "ASDA"
14:15 schestowitz-TR; it was already Waltons-owned, I call it Walmart UK
14:15 schestowitz-TR; it can be used to purchase food
14:15 schestowitz-TR; but the logistics of sending that card from london area wwere tiring to mer
14:15 schestowitz-TR; very time-consuming
14:15 schestowitz-TR; they could instead just top up my bank account
14:15 schestowitz-TR; but this idiocy of sending bits of plastic as "voucher" and paying for stampings, doing manual work etc.
14:15 schestowitz-TR; just show you the defective thinking/mindset
14:16 Techrights-sec; yes a cash bonus would have less stigma
14:16 Techrights-sec; it's attaching strings to the money
14:16 Techrights-sec; "eat a bug and say you don't like it" for us
14:23 schestowitz-TR; on the issue of econoym based on gambling with savers' money (never mind putting people in debt, i.e. creating "demand" based on borrowings from a dire future)
14:23 schestowitz-TR; some years ago I was bothered on the phone by this speculator the bank tried to hook us up with
14:23 schestowitz-TR; to "invest" our money
14:24 schestowitz-TR; we got him off our back at the end
14:24 schestowitz-TR; my dad says they keep bothering him
14:24 schestowitz-TR; becauase he does not "invest' the money
14:24 schestowitz-TR; we agree our whole economy is now based on people throwing everything into the hat
14:24 schestowitz-TR; so they can double- or -treble-gamble
14:24 schestowitz-TR; like, we have X money
14:24 schestowitz-TR; let's lend out x10 the money we "have"
14:24 schestowitz-TR; "have" = some people gave us trheir money to "invest"
14:24 schestowitz-TR; and that sums up why this is a shit economy that already exploded badly in 2008 and now we blame "war" and "covid"
14:24 schestowitz-TR; as if it was a matter of bad timing or misfortune
14:24 schestowitz-TR; btw, I will send you parts 9-10 shortly (epo) for backup
14:24 schestowitz-TR; it's VERY much connected to it
14:24 schestowitz-TR; if you've followed the series
14:24 schestowitz-TR; bubble makers as "financia experts"
14:24 schestowitz-TR; fucking stupid piece of shit idiots
14:24 schestowitz-TR; people whose skills is lyin g and lying and luying
14:24 schestowitz-TR; and manipulate at other people's expense
14:24 schestowitz-TR; like examines who sold their sold to that shitty german org
14:24 schestowitz-TR; thinking they're just be doing "ecoademia" but for much better pay
14:24 schestowitz-TR; (not limited to EPO BTW, hence the importance, it happens in other orgs, but we don't have their data)
14:26 Techrights-sec; "invest" has morphed into being an euphemism for high risk gambling
14:26 Techrights-sec; yes and no manufacturing to speak of
14:26 Techrights-sec; ack
14:26 Techrights-sec; if things go well, it is obviously because of wise choices and good ideas,
14:26 Techrights-sec; if things go poorly, it is obviiously because of external factors
14:26 Techrights-sec; those experts aren't any better than that hamster was
14:26 Techrights-sec; in fact the hamster had a better track record for being right than they do
14:26 schestowitz-TR; > "invest" has morphed into being an euphemism for high risk gambling
14:26 schestowitz-TR; \my dad lost ALL his money in 2008
14:26 schestowitz-TR; even had to get help from a cousin to be 'rescued'
14:26 schestowitz-TR; he won't let that happen again
14:29 Techrights-sec; :(
14:29 Techrights-sec; ack
14:29 schestowitz-TR; money generqally loses value over time
14:29 schestowitz-TR; and they use that to promote gambling now
14:29 schestowitz-TR; but, ime, the best panacea is learning to reduce expenses to a bare minimum
14:29 schestowitz-TR; and geta ccustomed to it
14:29 schestowitz-TR; I will shave shortly, it'll be dry shave while reading a book
14:29 schestowitz-TR; every pound saved is several minutes earned for free time -- i.e. liberty to engage in an activity one chooses
14:29 schestowitz-TR; not "busy making money"
14:29 schestowitz-TR; BTW, did you see the video I made about css changed that I had applied?
14:29 schestowitz-TR; the video was not aboiut the css, that was junk tinkering a bit to 'beatify' it
14:29 schestowitz-TR; with no images added
14:30 Techrights-sec; no, I check the texts when possible but check very few of anybody's videos
14:30 Techrights-sec; per week
14:30 Techrights-sec; Some CSS skill is needed to get past the barrier with the columns for the
14:30 Techrights-sec; mobile devices. I am taking another look at that soon.
14:40 schestowitz-TR; we don't even know how many access the site with "mobile"
14:40 schestowitz-TR; i imagine not THAT many people
14:40 schestowitz-TR; as desktop gnu/linux enthusiats "get work done"(TM)
14:40 schestowitz-TR; and don't sip $7 latte at gatesbucks
14:40 schestowitz-TR; (i'm no js or css guru, but I know without js it is possible to serve different css files to device types, like "mobile", "print" etc)
14:40 schestowitz-TR; (the practice, hoeever, is based on poor initial design or flawed thinking)
14:40 schestowitz-TR; (like having twoi faceplates for the same phone for "different occasions")
14:42 Techrights-sec; it's more the principle of the matter. the layout should be more flexible
14:42 Techrights-sec; that it is in regards to wrapping columns or whatever the process is called
14:42 Techrights-sec; CSS is fine, for the most part, but a far cry from back when Bos and the others
14:42 Techrights-sec; were working on it. It's becoming overly complicated. JS however has always
14:42 Techrights-sec; been poxy
14:42 Techrights-sec; The only "mobile" aspect is to have it look / function nicely with a narrow
14:42 Techrights-sec; window in portrait mode rather than the usual wide window in landscape mode
14:44 schestowitz-TR; structurally I made no changes at all
14:44 schestowitz-TR; but I think ;enrolling' some files in git is well overdue now
14:44 schestowitz-TR; esp. if we start making changes on some of the same files
14:44 schestowitz-TR; I made a full local backup of that dir last night
14:44 schestowitz-TR; both rianne and I are connected to it atm
14:44 schestowitz-TR; I am poting daily links, then have some epo stuff to publish
14:44 schestowitz-TR; I am always pleased to cover epo issues because
14:44 schestowitz-TR; 1) it's the same as in many other places
14:44 schestowitz-TR; 2) it's clear enough and has evidence
14:44 schestowitz-TR; 3) it's connected to other orgs, so we expose them too (several bird,s, one stone)
14:47 Techrights-sec; ... so that both work
14:47 Techrights-sec; I'll add Git next week then.
14:47 Techrights-sec; Thanks, testing like that helps
14:47 Techrights-sec; excellent; I know I keep repeating myself but the EPO coverage is *very*
14:47 Techrights-sec; important
14:47 Techrights-sec; ack
14:47 schestowitz-TR; i'll keep quiet here to avoid geting ditracted while doing daily links
14:47 schestowitz-TR; i find it suppppper distracting to work after I speak on the phone with someone
14:47 schestowitz-TR; so must alloicate time and take a nap or break afterwards
14:47 schestowitz-TR; (IME)
14:52 schestowitz-TR; oh, one thing I noticed yesterday is,
14:52 schestowitz-TR; implicit paragraphs by linebreaks of empty lines
14:52 schestowitz-TR; drupal and wordpress convert new paragraphs into <p></p> without having to enter these for each para
14:52 schestowitz-TR; in the current cms there is no such insertion
14:52 schestowitz-TR; so all the paras appaear as one block
14:52 schestowitz-TR; not sure if there is a simple fix for it, as when you enter daily links
14:53 schestowitz-TR; maybe even htmltidy has some functionality to that effect
14:53 schestowitz-TR; it has become so common just not in markdown but so many cms software
14:53 schestowitz-TR; that m,any people no longer even think they ned to explicitly mark the paras
15:00 Techrights-sec; a substitution could check for double linebreaks and convert them to paragraphs
15:00 Techrights-sec; tidy doesn't have that functionality but it can be added into the perl script
15:00 Techrights-sec; afaik
15:05 schestowitz-TR; btw, as per your links, lunduke has abadoned the onlyfans model after halving the price and now "unlocks" videos he
15:05 schestowitz-TR; had recorded and published for ALL half a decade ago
15:05 schestowitz-TR; nothing wrong witrh it per se, did he learn to self-host his videois at long last?
15:05 schestowitz-TR; he deleted ALL the odysee videos (some we linked to, now broken) and almost all youtube videos
15:05 Techrights-sec; whatever, I'm just glad he's covering important topics at least occasionally
15:06 schestowitz-TR; i put his sjvn-callout-thingie in front page of tuxmachines
15:06 schestowitz-TR; today I did not add new nodes to the test site so far
15:06 schestowitz-TR; will wait until further changes are made
15:06 schestowitz-TR; rianne finished work in 3 hours, can post to new and old in tandem
15:06 schestowitz-TR; *finishes
15:07 Techrights-sec; figuring out the regex for the above
15:08 schestowitz-TR; I did perl one-line to convert two newlines into none
15:08 schestowitz-TR; do you want me to find it?
15:08 Techrights-sec; it's three lines ;)
15:08 Techrights-sec; It's all set, testing atm
15:08 Techrights-sec; biab
15:12 Techrights-sec; looks like it works
15:12 Techrights-sec; I just added today's leftovees
15:12 schestowitz-TR; looks like it works
15:12 schestowitz-TR; I just added today's leftovees
15:15 schestowitz-TR; oddly enough, in firefox, despite the </p><p>
15:15 schestowitz-TR; it still shows the lines and paragraphs combined as one blocked
15:15 schestowitz-TR; maybe a css properlty
15:38 Techrights-sec; continuing now
15:38 Techrights-sec; ok finding a way to insert the pattern into the work flow
15:38 Techrights-sec; the addition script will insert </p> <p> where multiple blank lines are found
15:38 Techrights-sec; if the text is *not* part of an element already
15:38 schestowitz-TR; does that show up ok in chromium-derived browsers?
15:38 schestowitz-TR; in firefox it ignores this
15:42 Techrights-sec;
15:42 Techrights-sec; no I know nothing about Alpine atm

15:45 schestowitz-TR; https://pkgs.alpinelinux.org/package/edge/main/x86/perl
15:55 schestowitz-TR; i assume cpan can have them, no apt-get
15:55 schestowitz-TR; not sure what command on the hv (alpine) can show available modules

15:56 Techrights-sec; the alpine link there is just to perl itself, not the modules
15:57 schestowitz-TR; we've not chosen an OS yet
15:57 schestowitz-TR; also, fs repair is due first
15:58 Techrights-sec; some might be there, not sure about all,
15:58 Techrights-sec; https://pkgs.alpinelinux.org/packages?name=perl-dbi&branch=edge&arch=x86_64

16:28 schestowitz; the source looks ok with <p> but it's rendered as one block

18:56 schestowitz-TR; I see you are improving "Other Sites" too
18:56 schestowitz-TR; it looks better now, the size was too large before, for syndicated stuff
18:56 schestowitz-TR; marius is now aware of upcoming change
18:57 Techrights-sec; excellent
18:57 Techrights-sec; trying too, it still has a way to go
18:57 Techrights-sec; LWN feed is mostly unavailable
18:57 Techrights-sec; The column still needs to move itself when the window narrows enough
18:57 Techrights-sec; I hope Marius can test at some point, I don't want to bother him yet at the
18:57 Techrights-sec; same time it is important to get feedback as early as possible. Maybe after
18:57 Techrights-sec; the update script is added?
18:57 Techrights-sec; That's great news.
18:57 schestowitz-TR; kaniini plans to work on the FS tonight, details in main channels (scrollback ~40 mins ago)
18:58 Techrights-sec; Checking...
18:58 Techrights-sec; amfora has no search function afaik
18:58 schestowitz-TR; END, PAGEUP, PAGEUP...
18:59 Techrights-sec; yes that's the method I use too but pressing / and then a string or ? and then
18:59 Techrights-sec; a string is faster
18:59 Techrights-sec; but doesn't work in amfora
19:00 schestowitz-TR; these days I only use amfora for monitoring
19:04 schestowitz-TR; fwiw, we now have 3 series running in parallel, not time-critical
19:04 schestowitz-TR; 2 are about microsoft
19:04 schestowitz-TR; 1 epo
19:04 schestowitz-TR; all of theem present new information
19:04 schestowitz-TR; I'm copying parts 9-10 now
19:04 schestowitz-TR; done
19:04 schestowitz-TR; *(odf)
19:04 Techrights-sec; good
19:04 Techrights-sec; EPO is most important but microsoft never stops being a problem
19:05 schestowitz-TR; had techrights now been around, or groklaw for that matter, the bullshitters
19:05 schestowitz-TR; would face little resistance and maybe more people would have accepted
19:05 schestowitz-TR; "ok", maybe "Microsoft isn't that bad anymore.."

19:25 Techrights-sec; too many people are still pushing that talking point, 'maybe "Microsoft isn't that bad anymore..' even though they should know better. Judging by current
19:25 Techrights-sec; and ongoing behavior they have not changed at all since the old days
19:27 schestowitz-TR; there must be some formal name for this phenomenon, which gets exploited by the guilty
19:27 schestowitz-TR; including billG
19:27 schestowitz-TR; "been a while since a bomb fell here, maybe I should look at the field ahead from my trench"
19:27 schestowitz-TR; "BOOM!"
19:27 schestowitz-TR; "oops, shit, wrong call, keep hiding"
19:31 Techrights-sec; revisionism?
19:31 Techrights-sec; well there is a complete and utter bullshit rhetorical method:
19:31 Techrights-sec; https://blogs.helsinki.fi/pirttila/files/2008/08/The-Hamburger-method-of-constructive-criticism.pdf
19:31 Techrights-sec; that people feel compelled to teach regardless of its inutility, and as a side
19:31 Techrights-sec; effect people try to use it, and as a side effect of that people lie or mislead
19:31 Techrights-sec; in order to try to dredge up a compliment even when none is available
19:32 schestowitz-TR; in political discourse it is a foprm of opportunism
19:32 schestowitz-TR; a week or so ago in IRC I joked about thw word "reasonable"
19:32 schestowitz-TR; and gave SJVN as an example
19:32 schestowitz-TR; before he wrote BS about Copilot (zdnet) and then MSFT (El Reg)
19:32 schestowitz-TR; See?
19:32 schestowitz-TR; RMS is "OK" with MSFT
19:32 schestowitz-TR; says SJVN
19:32 schestowitz-TR; SJVN is nice
19:32 schestowitz-TR; we are all "toxic"
19:32 schestowitz-TR; "hateful"
19:32 schestowitz-TR; and some peoplke try to advance this way
19:32 schestowitz-TR; SFC did this to FSF
19:32 schestowitz-TR; several times over
19:32 schestowitz-TR; Oliva LXO challenged them directly on it

19:55 Techrights-sec; using SFTP fro tr dump backups atm
19:56 schestowitz-TR; good, thanks, hopefully we won't need to recover anything. I think this would stop the dump errors among others.
19:56 schestowitz-TR; and then we can have the fresh new OS and start deplying things
20:22 schestowitz-TR; thinking aloud
20:22 schestowitz-TR; we create new node
20:22 schestowitz-TR; inotify ir similar updates html and gemtext and rss
20:22 schestowitz-TR; my bot here needs tweaking to make the irc post with gemini url too
20:22 schestowitz-TR; agate picks up the new gmi immediately
20:22 schestowitz-TR; it runs on the domain name over default port, 1965
20:22 schestowitz-TR; from the server
20:22 schestowitz-TR; could run on timers or triggers invoked manually
20:22 schestowitz-TR; like afeter adding a node
20:22 schestowitz-TR; if updates are done not directly to file but via interfaces, the right processes can be invoked too
20:22 schestowitz-TR; https likely with self-signed cert, maybe not advertised by default
20:22 schestowitz-TR; so as to avoid nasty warnings, albeit it's supported
20:23 Techrights-sec; backed up, but not the public_html hierarchy, those would require rsync
20:23 Techrights-sec; yes inotify would be good but is not available in this current architecture
20:23 Techrights-sec; the scripts could trigger other scripts, yes
20:23 Techrights-sec; it'd be a waste to have anything in cron though
20:24 britney; schestowitz-TR, I wanted to ask you something. I know matey's opinion but I was wondering if you feel the same way. Can we trust FSF and GNU?
20:25 schestowitz-TR; not in some sense
20:25 schestowitz-TR; because they are brand
20:25 schestowitz-TR; I trust rms
20:25 schestowitz-TR; because it's a person, not a label
20:25 britney; Matey threw around the label MS-GNU
20:26 schestowitz-TR; that's an exaggeration
20:26 schestowitz-TR; because of github
20:26 britney; fair enough
20:26 schestowitz-TR; Techrights-sec:
20:26 schestowitz-TR; yes, the cron thing was for testing
20:26 schestowitz-TR; I notice that while the updaste scripts run the front page can be emptiess for a second or two
20:27 schestowitz-TR; so interim file might be better
20:27 schestowitz-TR; process-this-thhing.sh -> temp && cp temp live
20:27 schestowitz-TR; maybe with sanity check like file size to ensure it doesn't fail to live
20:43 schestowitz-TR; just noticed that about a day ago all new posts were "posted by"
20:43 schestowitz-TR; without a name after that
20:43 schestowitz-TR; not sure if suggestive of a new bug, thought I'd mention it

20:54 schestowitz-TR; > Many companies scam their own staff by tricking them into "investing" their salaries (savings) in the company, artificially inflating a fake valuation that's bound to collapse, along with financial rewards supposedly having been given to staff.
