05:37 Techrightssec; many other institutions become m$ resellers via the budget which was formerly
05:37 Techrightssec; and independent IT department that used to support the staff rather than
05:37 Techrightssec; fight and subjugate them
05:40 schestowitz-TR; speaking of certifications, I find that those pursuing them usually try to compensate for a lack of relevant degree
05:40 schestowitz-TR; memorisation instead of proper undersatanding
05:40 schestowitz-TR; "will follow manuals for food"
05:40 schestowitz-TR; I think I can combine a discussin of clown computing (not so much to say that's new) with a video about mumble
05:41 schestowitz-TR; also, with clown computing, none of what was said is new, I think
05:41 schestowitz-TR; there is a strong counter-clown 'movement'
05:41 schestowitz-TR; but the way it argues may vary a bit
06:28 schestowitz-TR; status update
06:28 schestowitz-TR; a) prioriting site updates
06:28 schestowitz-TR; b) adjusting to new routines
06:28 schestowitz-TR; c) sleeping a bit more
06:28 schestowitz-TR; d) have some video ideas, e.g. mumble, but need more days/weeks to have better grasp/experience
06:28 schestowitz-TR; esp. the clients people use to access it (mumla on android isn't good at noise/echo cancelation)
06:28 schestowitz-TR; it would be a worthy "cause": getting more people to run mumble-server on their PCs/home servers
06:28 schestowitz-TR; to decentralise the communications and move aay from "clown"

08:01 schestowitz-TR; 7:40gmt: for the first time in months I had to restart mysql on tuxmachines-old
08:01 schestowitz-TR; some queries managed to cause it to use up cpu
08:01 schestowitz-TR; it's OK now
08:01 schestowitz-TR; very rare
08:02 schestowitz-TR; I have consequently improved monitoring and response on cavan
08:02 schestowitz-TR; update 7:55gmt: seeing that this keeps happening, I've run the ddos protection script again
08:02 schestowitz-TR; for the first time since we moved to the new site
08:02 schestowitz-TR; you'd be surprised how much traffic the "old" site still gets, mostly owing to its size

10:53 schestowitz-TR; 9 people so far in mumble
10:53 schestowitz-TR; rianne found a way around the echo/feedback
10:53 schestowitz-TR; over mumla (relative)
10:53 schestowitz-TR; I only saw some video and screenshots of mumla
10:53 schestowitz-TR; it seems not so difficult
10:53 schestowitz-TR; even technophobes managed to get it goind on their own
10:53 schestowitz-TR; maybe with some help from us

13:35 schestowitz-TR; been almost a week since spamnil last uploaded a video
13:35 schestowitz-TR; rianne says "stubborn"
13:35 schestowitz-TR; the clickfraud was a last go at it
13:36 Techrightssec; ack
13:36 Techrightssec; I won't give him the dignity of even one click
13:36 Techrightssec; Let him keep buying clicks.
13:36 Techrightssec; However, the real problem is that the LF almost certainly knows what he is yet
13:36 Techrightssec; continues to employ him while having fired the real writers and editors.
13:38 schestowitz-TR; they don't have the stomch to throw him in the bakkt
13:38 schestowitz-TR; apropos, ftx was a top sponsor of biden
13:38 schestowitz-TR; and many more revelations now emerge along those lines
13:38 schestowitz-TR; and all those who facilitated the scam
13:38 schestowitz-TR; inc. the role of nat friedman
13:38 schestowitz-TR; I frogot some of the other connections, but WEF endorsed this shit!
13:57 Techrightssec; ack
13:57 Techrightssec; FTX went under just after the US mid-term election
14:01 schestowitz-TR; I'd gladly do a video+article about it if I knew more
14:01 schestowitz-TR; all this crypto BS is intentionally cryptics
14:02 schestowitz-TR; they disguise the BS using buzzwords and "bro" lingo
14:02 schestowitz-TR; net effect: RealMoney got in, no money comes out, apparently lots of RealMoney was passed to another shell
14:02 schestowitz-TR; nobody will be held accountable, and maybe later on Andrew Lee the "crypto" prince will hire one as a CTO
14:14 *matteobin (~matteobin@tecziqbycf9k2.irc) has joined #boycottnovell
14:23 Techrightssec; Yes, FTX will be investigated because real money got in and vanished.
14:23 Techrightssec; About the only thing known so far is the list of investment companies which
14:23 Techrightssec; were taken for fools. The guy running FTX will go to jail because, to
14:23 Techrightssec; paraphrase George Carlin, it's a big club and he ain't in it. It's akin
14:23 Techrightssec; to that Usenet guy who went to jail over stock market hype and the general
14:23 Techrightssec; investment market picked up and specialized in his exact tactics while he was
14:23 Techrightssec; in jail and, unlike him, they neither went to jail nor were forced to hand over
14:23 Techrightssec; their proceeds.
14:23 Techrightssec; The crime in both cases appears to be of depriving the wrong crowd of money,
14:23 Techrightssec; unlike what happened in 2008 or with Enron.
14:24 Techrightssec; There aren't many facts known but the list of major chumps is published already.
14:24 schestowitz-TR; my friend lost almost everything to them
14:24 schestowitz-TR; on the financial side, not counting job, health, and partner
14:24 schestowitz-TR; oh, and his home
14:24 Techrightssec; That's too bad. It's sad to hear.
14:29 schestowitz-TR; for about a year he refrained from replying to me
14:29 schestowitz-TR; mostly for shame (saving face)I had already warned him repeatedlty after sharlatans -- chinese, italian and saudi --
14:29 schestowitz-TR; took him for fool and ran away with his money (or did not pay)
14:29 schestowitz-TR; *charlatans
14:29 schestowitz-TR; at one point he asked me if I wanted to "invest" and after some research I showed him it was total BS
14:29 schestowitz-TR; he should know that, hs'e a prof.
14:29 schestowitz-TR; he also blew his inheritence money on a shirry "sports" car that deleeted in value rapidly and was short-term boast/status symbol
14:29 schestowitz-TR; *depleted/depreciated
14:32 Techrightssec; ack
14:32 Techrightssec; :(
14:32 Techrightssec; Cars usually lose at least half their "value" during the act of driving it
14:32 Techrightssec; off the sales lot.

18:18 schestowitz-TR; norway is ranked highly for press freedom
18:18 schestowitz-TR; but that might change
18:18 schestowitz-TR; draft, short
18:21 Techrightssec; Apropos the draft, make sure that the GemText will make sense.
18:22 schestowitz-TR; iirc, the captions are appended to alt
18:23 Techrightssec; The body text needs to stand on its own too though.
18:55 schestowitz-TR; draft
19:07 *starstreak has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s)
19:11 schestowitz-TR; lol, spamnil 1.5 month video... 9 views
19:11 schestowitz-TR; new record
19:12 Techrightssec; And two of those were from you and Rianne?
19:12 schestowitz-TR; don't forget spamnil and the gurst
19:12 schestowitz-TR; *guest
19:16 schestowitz-TR; rianne jujst watched the video I uploded of zemlin
19:16 schestowitz-TR; does it work ok for you
19:16 schestowitz-TR; ?
19:16 schestowitz-TR; I encode it better now, a much better process
19:17 Techrightssec; ack
19:17 Techrightssec; Checking
19:17 Techrightssec; Works in VLC just fine
19:17 Techrightssec; at least it does here
19:17 Techrightssec; There was a transcript for that presentation IIRC
19:18 schestowitz-TR; the presentation, wich I 'browsed' by 'tasting' one minute at a time (or play at x2 the speed)
19:18 schestowitz-TR; had no substance to it, it's more like SBOM and GitHub boosting
19:18 schestowitz-TR; so even a transcript would be of no use
19:18 schestowitz-TR; --------------------------------------------------
19:21 *starstreak (~starstreak@muarsy2vret2q.irc) has joined #boycottnovell
19:24 Techrightssec; The whole presentation would be a waste of time to do and a waste of space to
19:24 Techrightssec; post, but the anecdotal jibe against FOSS was transcribed either from that
19:24 Techrightssec; presentation or one including the same anecdote
19:24 Techrightssec; Either way, the content should be noted for the Gemini viewers
19:24 Techrightssec; I must protest that. The links are useful as supplements put too numerous
19:24 Techrightssec; and unclearly annotated for there to be a reasonable expectation that they
19:24 Techrightssec; are clicked upon. I would higlh recommend a small amount of redundancy
19:24 schestowitz-TR; I linked to a prior rebuttal to a similar "presentation" (Microsoft PR)
19:24 Techrightssec; surrounding the links so that one can have an idea of the destination by
19:24 schestowitz-TR; maybe we should use footnotes for all the referencing, complete with titles?
19:24 Techrightssec; the text surrounding the link. We can study the click-through rate next year
19:24 Techrightssec; but I would guess that it is not a good idea to have people leave the post
19:24 Techrightssec; mid-sentence since there is a good change that they don't come back to
19:24 Techrightssec; finish reading it, whether they wander off or just forget
19:24 Techrightssec; That might be a good idea, if it can be done in a way that works nicely
19:24 Techrightssec; in the Gemini viewers.
19:27 schestowitz-TR; the way the conversion works, it would have just numbers, not <sup>number</sup>
19:27 schestowitz-TR; unless I use unicide for superscript
19:27 schestowitz-TR; and then below in footbnotes gemini would just show the text and later => link
19:30 Techrightssec; Numbers alone would be very inadequate and best avoided.
19:30 Techrightssec; Remember, one primary goal is to have the visitor finish reading the post
19:30 Techrightssec; and not click away until done. Or at least that's how I see it. If they
19:30 Techrightssec; don't get the information through reading, they may stop reading. Or if they
19:30 Techrightssec; start clicking in desperate hope of finding the information elsewhere, there
19:30 Techrightssec; are a multitude of reasons why they might not end up returning to finish reading
19:30 Techrightssec; Time is just one of many.
19:30 schestowitz-TR; not sure how people use gemini, but I typically open links in background tabs and carry on reading
19:37 Techrightssec; There seem to be no Gemini logs, but one aim I see is to support and encourage
19:37 Techrightssec; Gemini usage. That is predicated on having content.
19:37 Techrightssec; I would think that similar principles apply to the WWW version too.
19:37 Techrightssec; On a different subject, this dissertation is a gold mine of potential topics
19:37 Techrightssec; for posts: https://research.tue.nl/en/publications/communication-in-a-world-of-pervasive-surveillance-sources-and-me
19:37 Techrightssec; Even just searching the PDF for keywords instead of reading it through and
19:37 -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-research.tue.nl | Communication in a world of pervasive surveillance: Sources and methods: Counter-strategies against pervasive surveillance architecture Eindhoven University of Technology research portal
19:37 Techrightssec; making notes would work.
19:39 schestowitz-TR; thanks, I will look
19:39 schestowitz-TR; I used to have more time and momentum to write long articles
19:39 schestowitz-TR; I need more inspiration
19:39 schestowitz-TR; the new is... "bland"
19:44 Techrightssec; https://research.tue.nl/files/197416841/20220325_Appelbaum_hf.pdf
19:46 Techrightssec; Short articles are good too, but it is not useful if they are too terse.
19:46 Techrightssec; "The Intercept"'s practice of hanging sources out to dry is noted in the
19:46 Techrightssec; dissertation.
19:49 schestowitz-TR; the main channel discussed software freedom
19:49 schestowitz-TR; then someone changed the subject to "rape" and wikileaks
19:49 schestowitz-TR; bringing the channel back on topic essential
19:49 schestowitz-TR; back in a bit, cleaning rss feeds again
19:49 schestowitz-TR; no good topics for videos just yet
19:49 schestowitz-TR; (or none we did not cover already, even recently)
19:50 Techrightssec; Typical. Any disussion of the f-word in any forum will be targeted thusly.
19:50 Techrightssec; For topics, see the above PDF and pick a random subsection.
19:50 Techrightssec; Most have been covered before or at least touched on but there are new angles
19:50 Techrightssec; and in some cases new information there.
