00:04 schestowitz-TR; that't the thing
00:04 schestowitz-TR; the GPU seems to do only some codes
00:04 schestowitz-TR; but ignore others
00:04 schestowitz-TR; like webm
00:04 schestowitz-TR; no acceleration
00:04 schestowitz-TR; and phoronix86 promotes them

07:03 Techrights-sec; happy Easter
07:03 Techrights-sec; IRC post seems stuck : http://techrights.org/2022/04/17/irc-log-160422/
07:03 Techrights-sec; It can be edited but not previewed
07:03 Techrights-sec; gemini-proxy.pl is not runnng at the moment

07:05 schestowitz-TR; gm
07:05 schestowitz-TR; it was rather improbable that the proxy would survive the whole night
07:05 schestowitz-TR; it needs a restart about once in 1-2 hours
07:05 schestowitz-TR; thr irc post looked OK from my end
07:05 schestowitz-TR; not sure what happened
07:05 schestowitz-TR; I still check TM stuff for integrity every now and then
07:07 Techrights-sec; gm
07:07 Techrights-sec; yes, I've been looking at that here fora few hours but systemd is a
07:07 Techrights-sec; steaming pile of semi-documented crap
07:07 Techrights-sec; try /tmp/gemini-proxy.service
07:07 Techrights-sec; that's just a kludge
07:08 Techrights-sec; it seems impossbleto get systemd to preserve any logging information from
07:08 Techrights-sec; the program(s) it fails to start
07:08 Techrights-sec; yes that's ok
07:08 Techrights-sec; ack
07:08 schestowitz-TR; oh, btw, last night I spent over an hour trying to get obs to produce webm
07:08 schestowitz-TR; oh, wait, I already told you this
07:08 schestowitz-TR; anyway, I will change prewview.sh to automatically handle the streamline process
07:08 schestowitz-TR; when obs makes mp4 files instead
07:08 schestowitz-TR; I'm not sure yet what process to use
07:08 schestowitz-TR; for quikckest resutls
07:12 schestowitz-TR; the new service file is in place
07:12 schestowitz-TR; reloaded, restartred
07:12 schestowitz-TR; running ok so far
07:15 *Despatche has quit (Quit: Read error: Connection reset by deer)
07:18 Techrights-sec; it should restart better with the new setting but that is just a work-around
07:20 schestowitz-TR; the other cron jobs have been running with success
07:20 schestowitz-TR; since yesterday, which means timeouts became more rare
07:20 Techrights-sec; I figure anyone experessing other than rage for systemd is a victim of
07:20 Techrights-sec; stockholm syndrome
07:20 Techrights-sec; great
08:20 schestowitz-TR; will be out and about doing home repairs and food shopping, but the goal of today
08:20 schestowitz-TR; is to generally "clean" the patent items
08:20 schestowitz-TR; first pass will be with flameshot, then a video for what's left
08:20 schestowitz-TR; I still don't have my strategy sorted out, but that's a process
08:20 schestowitz-TR; it depends on news cycles, poriority issues, etc.
08:20 schestowitz-TR; this weekend I want to finalise the recording process on the new
08:20 schestowitz-TR; machine. I got the voice sorted out, it sounds very good now,
08:20 schestowitz-TR; but the pipeline for processing and uploading is still only
08:20 schestowitz-TR; compatible with the "old" machine
08:20 schestowitz-TR; thus far, geminy-proxy has been robust and needed no intervention (following the change)

10:49 schestowitz-TR; you can hear the improvement in sound quality now
10:50 Techrights-sec; will be able to check the sound later today
10:50 Techrights-sec; the sound qualit of stream-design.webm has been through too many lossy
10:50 Techrights-sec; conversions to retain enough qulaity to be listenable comfortably
10:50 Techrights-sec; ^twitter-is-faked.webm
10:50 Techrights-sec; stream-design.webm was actually ok, at least at the start. I have yet to
10:50 Techrights-sec; listen to the whole thing
10:50 Techrights-sec; ok
10:50 Techrights-sec; can OBS save in a lossless format?
10:50 schestowitz-TR; yes, those were really awful
10:50 schestowitz-TR; but that was last night befre I tinkered a lot and got close to making webm work
10:50 schestowitz-TR; the one about masks should be a lot better
10:50 schestowitz-TR; going through upc lies atm, which makes me grupy
10:50 schestowitz-TR; but zoobab isn't doing this anymore, or barely
10:51 Techrights-sec; can OBS save in a lossless format?
10:51 Techrights-sec; ack
10:51 Techrights-sec; however, the observation that twitter might be forging stats ro inflate its
10:51 Techrights-sec; share price might be important
10:51 Techrights-sec; AOL came up as an example in an article recently. For a while AOL counted
10:51 Techrights-sec; every 3.5" floppy which had been sent out as a subscriber
10:53 schestowitz-TR; I did not know this, but I can give more examples of faking numbers
10:53 schestowitz-TR; or changing thew defs of things to mislead
10:54 schestowitz-TR; seems like a "buisness" "school" thing... something the lecturers would
10:54 schestowitz-TR; justify somehow
10:54 schestowitz-TR; by boss andrew is a liar
10:54 schestowitz-TR; with rianne I call him "the liar"
10:54 schestowitz-TR; still not as bad as "sarin gas" (samreen)
10:56 *DaemonFC (~daemonfc@6cmiu44urwrr2.irc) has joined #boycottnovell
10:59 Techrights-sec; that's a rough situation; he needs to be replaced; once a manager goes to
10:59 Techrights-sec; M$ there is only one thing one can do with them;
11:00 schestowitz-TR; don't worry, "we're just milking them..."
11:00 schestowitz-TR; at this point there's no real loyalty or sense of belonging
11:00 schestowitz-TR; a lot of things are almost in auo-pilot
11:00 schestowitz-TR; *auto
11:00 schestowitz-TR; so we mind our business and pick the salary
11:02 schestowitz-TR; 11 screens, 3 phone sets, some laptops on battery, shift rotation in-home etc. make it very very
11:02 schestowitz-TR; easy
11:02 schestowitz-TR; and we're not taking anything too harshly
11:03 schestowitz-TR; we just don't give a shit at this stage
11:03 schestowitz-TR; esp. me :-)
11:03 Techrights-sec; wow
11:03 Techrights-sec; still it'd be better to have a manager that was at least somewhat honest
11:03 schestowitz-TR; when they lie to your face you can confront them
11:03 schestowitz-TR; but not "too much"
11:03 schestowitz-TR; as then it can become very toxic
11:04 Techrights-sec; https://www.lyricsfreak.com/b/bob+marley/smoke+2+joints_20644266.html
11:04 Techrights-sec; as they lie more and more they get more detached from reality and push
11:04 Techrights-sec; bak threatens a whole sandcastle of lies
11:04 -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-Bob Marley - Smoke 2 Joints lyrics | LyricsFreak
11:06 schestowitz-TR; andrew even relays the "clown" lies
11:06 schestowitz-TR; when confronted with facts I need to repeatedly say things like
11:06 schestowitz-TR; "I can send you a link"
11:06 schestowitz-TR; but then again we're taliking aboiut ambitious loses
11:06 schestowitz-TR; who think paying for FT (funded by EPO, Bill Gates etc.)
11:06 schestowitz-TR; gives them sdome dge of magic knowledge
11:06 schestowitz-TR; and us "plebs" know nothing like "FT of London"
11:07 schestowitz-TR; guess who eventually buckles under a mortgage
11:07 Techrights-sec; It's beizarre that them using the Ft to actually become misinformed
11:07 Techrights-sec; makes them feel clever. LARPing with real money as the game counter
11:07 Techrights-sec; https://www.lyricsfreak.com/b/bob+marley/smoke+2+joints_20644266.html
11:09 schestowitz-TR; 1) we are not shareholders
11:09 schestowitz-TR; (unlike some)
11:09 schestowitz-TR; 2) we don't work hard
11:09 schestowitz-TR; 3) we hardly give a shit
11:09 schestowitz-TR; the debt is not my problem, I'm just hired to give some services
11:09 schestowitz-TR; a lot of them are "passive"
11:09 schestowitz-TR; I don't get involved in decisions
11:09 schestowitz-TR; as that just means more work and giving a f*
11:11 Techrights-sec; still a plan B might be useful to keep at hand, it gives better leverage
11:11 Techrights-sec; in negotiations as well
11:14 schestowitz-TR; yes, I know, but that requires home working and for 2 people, not one
11:14 schestowitz-TR; one of whom is less technical but sufficiently hard working and willing to
11:14 schestowitz-TR; learn (with CS degree, too, but not enough hands-on)
11:14 schestowitz-TR; if you heard of something, let me know
11:14 schestowitz-TR; IME, jobs are mostly found through connections, not ads
11:14 schestowitz-TR; Some ads are a cover for a rigged procurement process where
11:14 schestowitz-TR; you still must maintain the illusion of competitive positions
11:14 schestowitz-TR; a la EPO
11:15 Techrights-sec; I concur. Almost all jobs are found through connections and probably as good
11:15 Techrights-sec; as all jobs worth having are found that way.
11:16 schestowitz-TR; jared Kushner: blacks must want to succeed
11:16 schestowitz-TR; he never went to a job interview
11:16 schestowitz-TR; certainly not while black
11:16 schestowitz-TR; the MSM does perpetuate many lies
11:16 schestowitz-TR; inc. median salaries
11:16 schestowitz-TR; it's part of the "let's pretend the economy has recovered" lie
11:16 schestowitz-TR; and "the system is working!!!" You just need to work HARDER!
11:16 Techrights-sec; Again, LARPing
11:16 Techrights-sec; It has become the predominant method of running both business and government
11:16 Techrights-sec; and even, recently, higher education as well
11:17 schestowitz-TR; Student loans is a multi-trillionn-dollar product sold by banksters
11:22 schestowitz-TR; chomsky says such debt is shackling young people who would otherwise
11:22 schestowitz-TR; rebel without receiving threatening calls for debt collectors
11:22 schestowitz-TR; but wait, key point
11:22 schestowitz-TR; the US paremts
11:22 schestowitz-TR; they too arre affected
11:22 schestowitz-TR; becauyse they need to work 40+ hours a week for as decade to save up enough
11:22 schestowitz-TR; for the child(ren) to go to college
11:22 schestowitz-TR; so they cannot retire early or become 'slackers'
11:23 Techrights-sec; yes and the laws around them, combined with usurious interest rates
11:23 Techrights-sec; lock people into a lifetime of bad debt at an early age. https://educationdata.org/average-student-loan-interest-rate
11:23 Techrights-sec; 3.7%and up; though some years ago it was pushing closer to 10% APR
11:23 Techrights-sec; yes it is cleary used as means to keep people on a short leash, in all
11:23 Techrights-sec; likelihood on purpose
11:23 -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-educationdata.org | Average Student Loan Interest Rate [2022]: New & Existing Loans
11:23 Techrights-sec; "Among all existing borrowers, 5.8% is the average student loan interest rate."
11:23 Techrights-sec; 50+ hours, plus 16+ hours commuting in the car plus n more hours
11:23 Techrights-sec; shuttling the kids around in the car
11:23 Techrights-sec; most cannot realistically earn enough extra to save up for their kids education, costs are too high for that and salaries too low
11:24 schestowitz-TR; the interest rates for "student" loans are not as bad here, afaik
11:24 schestowitz-TR; and tuition fees were not crazy when I went
11:24 schestowitz-TR; in fact, there was a EPC grant for my postgrad
11:25 schestowitz-TR; then for postdoc, too
11:25 schestowitz-TR; 6% sounds like worse than a mortgage, by far...
11:26 Techrights-sec; https://www.usnews.com/education/best-colleges/paying-for-college/articles/paying-for-college-infographic
11:26 Techrights-sec; "the average cost to students after receiving need-based grants that year was around $23,572. "
11:26 Techrights-sec; """
11:26 Techrights-sec; The average cost for out-of-state students at public colleges comes to $22,698 for the same year.
11:26 Techrights-sec; """
11:26 Techrights-sec; 5 * 22.7 = 113.5 k USD
11:26 Techrights-sec; for an undergraduate degree
11:27 schestowitz-TR; that's with a grant and not redbrick
11:27 schestowitz-TR; iirc, it's at least 4 times more for a "good" college
11:28 schestowitz-TR; (i.e. hype, connecttopn. "ticket")
11:28 schestowitz-TR; so it can be $500,000 for the degree, and that's like a figure from 2005
11:28 Techrights-sec; yes, with a grant, and does not include food or housing if I understand
11:28 Techrights-sec; correctly
11:28 *TechrightsBN has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s)
11:28 schestowitz-TR; here, food and housing can be more expensive than tuition when I last checked
11:29 schestowitz-TR; so eventually you can get some engligh degree and work as "content moderator"
11:29 schestowitz-TR; for "zuck da fuck"
11:30 schestowitz-TR; either way, young people are demotivated
11:30 *TechrightsBN (~b0t@ju4kayhrhsm6a.irc) has joined #boycottnovell
11:30 TechrightsBN; Hello World! I'm TechrightsBN running phIRCe v0.77
11:31 schestowitz-TR; (of course those jobs, even if based domestically (for the demography moderated),
11:31 schestowitz-TR; will eventualkly be replaced with overseas workers or "HEY HI")
11:31 DaemonFC; I think I'll have the Chevy dealer look over the squealing noise on the Buick.
11:31 schestowitz-TR; oh
11:31 DaemonFC; The Buick dealer has much higher labor prices.
11:31 schestowitz-TR; that'll cost...
11:32 DaemonFC; Yeah, I felt like I was getting the bum's rush yesterday.
11:32 DaemonFC; They said it stopped doing it, so I drive off and it starts doing it again and then they said come back Monday.
11:33 schestowitz-TR; all this trouble... for a "luxury" car
11:33 DaemonFC; But while I was there I was noting their service specials, and it was like super expensive. Like $499 an axle for a brake job, which the Chevy dealer wants $259 for, which is jsut an example.
11:33 schestowitz-TR; taxis are cheaper
11:33 DaemonFC; How is $499 for a brake job a special when Chevy dealers use the same parts?
11:33 schestowitz-TR; taxis to a distant airport is cheaper
11:33 schestowitz-TR; I did that in cyprus due to lack of time
11:34 schestowitz-TR; "premium" = "macheads" and MARISOLS
11:35 DaemonFC; The only one star reviews for the Chevy place are idiots like....
11:35 DaemonFC; "It doesn't take an hour for an oil change."
11:36 DaemonFC; It takes 30-45 minutes for one to be done correctly. Unless you want Jiffy Lube to get you in and out in under 15 minutes and leave 1/8th of the old oil in the engine.
11:36 DaemonFC; It takes a while for the last half a quart or so to drain out, and any honest shop leaves it there until it turns into a slow drip.
11:42 schestowitz-TR; yeah, welcome to car mechanics and stuch
11:42 schestowitz-TR; *such
11:42 schestowitz-TR; not renowned for their honesty
11:43 schestowitz-TR; double-dipping on costs of cars
11:43 schestowitz-TR; and people willing to spend a fortune to justify paying so much for a car
11:49 DaemonFC; It's actually Jiffy Lube that's ripping people off.
11:49 DaemonFC; They spend eight minutes on your oil change and don't do the entire job.
11:49 DaemonFC; Then people go there because it's fast and reward them for this.
11:51 DaemonFC; But the higher prices for brakes and oil changes at the Buick dealer tells me that their other work is probably more expensive too.
11:51 DaemonFC; They go after people at the Buick dealer because Buicks are nicer cars than Chevys.
11:53 Techrights-sec; ^ack
11:55 DaemonFC; schestowitz-TR, It's really dishonest too, because you take a Buick and drive it to Chevy.
11:55 DaemonFC; They have all of the same parts at Chevy.
11:55 DaemonFC; Or can get them.
11:55 DaemonFC; And they charge less per labor hour because most people take Chevys there.
11:55 DaemonFC; And the Lacrosse is basically a fancy Impala.
11:56 schestowitz-TR; yeah
11:56 schestowitz-TR; anyway, you got a high-maintenance item
11:58 schestowitz-TR; "luxury" cars demand "luxury" so-called 'mechanics'
11:58 schestowitz-TR; you bought the lifestyle
11:58 schestowitz-TR; not you need to live with it
11:59 DaemonFC; It's not really that much different than the Impala.
12:00 DaemonFC; I think all cars use a S-Belt driven system of pulleys now.
12:02 DaemonFC; There's only so many ways to tackle stuff like this, so all manufacturers make similar decisions.

13:45 *DaemonFC has quit (Quit: Leaving)
13:53 Techrights-sec; ack
13:53 Techrights-sec; I'm still wondering about how to get the UPC onto the radar of the national

13:54 schestowitz-TR; of the what? :-)
13:54 schestowitz-TR; 2005 called. Those are being scuttled
13:54 schestowitz-TR; during the video I pointed out that not even one single publisher mentioned the UPC

14:10 Techrights-sec; interesting
14:13 Techrights-sec; what about autocompletion with the other terms before "techrights" ?
14:13 schestowitz-TR; 2022/04/techrights-search.png
14:13 schestowitz-TR; the autocomplete does not do wildcards
14:18 Techrights-sec; no but it might show other words ,
14:18 Techrights-sec; just checked "epo", "epc', and "software patent" and it gave nohign relevant
14:18 Techrights-sec; but leading with "techrights" shows the results you showed in the image
14:18 Techrights-sec; plus one line after "breton" : "campinos drunk"
14:20 schestowitz-TR; those sorts of things are typically a waste of time to check, unless maybe yoiu run some store and hire spammers
14:20 schestowitz-TR; ("SEO"). Gulag also censors suggestions on certain words in certain countries
14:20 schestowitz-TR; it cannot, for example, show what its "hey hi" suggests for Islam
