13:12 schestowitz-TR; the change was over 2k in value

13:25 schestowitz-TR; ump for deaths

13:25 schestowitz-TR; but anyway, they also politicise climate change

13:25 schestowitz-TR; so that's 'normal'

14:39 schestowitz-TR; parler sold to another idiot

14:39 schestowitz-TR; I think the bubble implodes fast

14:39 schestowitz-TR; and those become pet projects

14:39 schestowitz-TR; influence experiments

14:39 schestowitz-TR; rather than media

14:40 techrights-sec; I just saw that. One can hope that it implodes but the sale will unfortunately

14:40 techrights-sec; infuse more idiots with money to keep going.

15:22 techrights-sec; Kayne will pump more money and resources into it to try to recover his

15:22 techrights-sec; costs.

15:28 schestowitz-TR; he didn't grow up rich

15:28 schestowitz-TR; people like him can go bankrupt fast

15:28 schestowitz-TR; aside from this, the other week I read he truly deteriorated to abuse and racism

15:29 schestowitz-TR; not that it was the first time

15:29 schestowitz-TR; the racism and the abuse against ex and partner

15:29 schestowitz-TR; in the us I guess bad vehaviour had its crowd and is fahionable

15:29 schestowitz-TR; musk is similar

15:29 schestowitz-TR; gates

15:29 schestowitz-TR; KSA

15:29 schestowitz-TR; all sorts of sociopaths looking for a circle to be liked in

15:29 schestowitz-TR; while they do trulyt even things and need to refect (if they are capable of introspecation at all)

15:29 schestowitz-TR; many diaspora and mostodon cliques are just circle-jerks

15:29 schestowitz-TR; some would not even interoperate with othersa

15:29 schestowitz-TR; apropos, this relates to what happens in IRC

15:29 schestowitz-TR; invite-only would never work, for a number of reason just off the top of the head

15:29 schestowitz-TR; politics got offloaded to another channel, long overdue

15:29 schestowitz-TR; today was very noise around 8-10am when I left the home

15:29 schestowitz-TR; quiet since then

15:29 schestowitz-TR; (btw, speaking of people "pump[ing] more money and resources", freenode and andrew lee is a good example

15:29 schestowitz-TR; and a simila baby-like mindset

15:29 schestowitz-TR; calacanis had some

15:29 schestowitz-TR; or @jack (add)

15:29 schestowitz-TR; (ass)torba with gab, trump with truth social

15:29 schestowitz-TR; cult of personalities

15:34 techrights-sec; Probably similar in approach.

15:39 *psydruid (~psydruid@jevhxkzmtrbww.irc) has joined #boycottnovell

15:40 schestowitz-TR; oh, wow!

15:40 schestowitz-TR; great news

15:40 schestowitz-TR; "users" push back against EPO

15:40 schestowitz-TR; so the work done exposing the issues pays off, even if very much belatedly

15:45 techrights-sec; Excellent news there.

15:46 schestowitz-TR; I aid it out loud almost 10 times already rianne posts news from the living room next door

15:46 schestowitz-TR; *said

15:46 schestowitz-TR; progress with large ors and corporations can seem slow

15:46 schestowitz-TR; *orgs

15:52 techrights-sec; ack

15:52 techrights-sec; Congratulations on the forward movement!

15:55 schestowitz-TR; there seems to be a friedman scandal brewing

15:56 schestowitz-TR; I'm told,

15:56 schestowitz-TR; it seems like shouting at the wall

15:56 schestowitz-TR; because they always try to make it seem or feel it doesn't hurt them

15:56 schestowitz-TR; corporations and orgs are the same

15:56 schestowitz-TR; but the "fucking president" tamper tamntrum and learning almost all staff reads TR (which is why he lost his cool

15:56 schestowitz-TR; )

15:56 schestowitz-TR; helps morale

15:56 schestowitz-TR; TIL the thread against me was connected to an employer asking for explanation

15:56 schestowitz-TR; *threat (from m*g)


4 PM, October 17

16:00 schestowitz-TR; r

16:00 schestowitz-TR; e friedman

16:00 schestowitz-TR; there seems to be reputation laundering going on atm

16:00 schestowitz-TR; and I'm told stories I can't yet publish because stronger proof is needed

16:00 schestowitz-TR; writing damning words is easy

16:00 schestowitz-TR; proving them under pressure requires a lot of evidence a priori

16:00 schestowitz-TR; so I slow things down a bit and have ~4000 lines in notes

16:00 schestowitz-TR; that one lawyer sent me a letter reveals just how closely they monitor the series

16:00 schestowitz-TR; after I published court docs he pissed off

16:00 schestowitz-TR; never wrote again

16:11 techrights-sec; Good work.

16:11 techrights-sec; :)

16:11 schestowitz-TR; oh, wow

16:11 schestowitz-TR; out of curiousity I put in gulag.com the title of the acan news

16:11 schestowitz-TR; phoronix is 2 days late

16:11 schestowitz-TR; the title is in many place, inc. hacker[sic] noise

16:11 schestowitz-TR; but tuxmahcines is ranked second, after the original

16:11 schestowitz-TR; and that's the _new_ domain

16:12 schestowitz-TR; so it established good reputation

16:12 schestowitz-TR; within 2 months

16:12 schestowitz-TR; if that's true, we can expect monthly growth for the new (sub)site each month

16:12 schestowitz-TR; but I don't check that

16:12 schestowitz-TR; last checked about 2 weeks ago, it was up about 37% in a month

16:12 schestowitz-TR; the drupakl site still is busy, due to the archives

16:33 techrights-sec; ack

17:33 schestowitz-TR; i hope that many well-educated and principled russians come to the uk and are welcomed here

17:33 schestowitz-TR; but we have idiots like liz trump

17:33 schestowitz-TR; and look what they did to assange

17:33 schestowitz-TR; because we are the "poodle" or bush, carlyle group etc.

17:33 schestowitz-TR; *of

17:34 techrights-sec; There's not quite a news blackout on Assange, but close. I think the goal

17:34 techrights-sec; is to get the public's eye to move on and, if he happens to die in the mean

17:34 techrights-sec; time, that's ok with them, then once it is quiet enough deport him

17:34 techrights-sec; ---

17:34 techrights-sec; It would boost the UK

17:34 techrights-sec; There's not quite a news blackout on Assange, but close. I think the goal

17:34 techrights-sec; is to get the public's eye to move on and, if he happens to die in the mean

17:34 techrights-sec; time, that's ok with them, then once it is quiet enough deport him

17:36 schestowitz-TR; he cannot produce anything from prison

17:36 schestowitz-TR; not even a notepad, let alone access to news or his site

17:36 schestowitz-TR; just keeping him there is about as effective as him being clinically dead

17:36 schestowitz-TR; except he's a living cautionary take

17:36 schestowitz-TR; *tale

17:36 schestowitz-TR; I last thought of it this morning

17:36 schestowitz-TR; they can demonstrate what happens when you "cross the line" and expose war crimes

17:36 schestowitz-TR; that's "espionage" and it kills you even without due process

17:39 techrights-sec; Or Ian Murdock, Gary Kildall, etc

17:40 schestowitz-TR; meanwhile the Gates PR people have managed to classify any narrative about Kildall a "conspiracy theory"

17:40 schestowitz-TR; a few years ago when many had been trying to figure out the past

17:42 techrights-sec; Kildall's book has been heavily redacted and some chapters remain unpublished.

17:42 techrights-sec; ... key chapters

17:42 techrights-sec; Bill's PR team and hired reputation launderers try to reframe any opposition

17:42 techrights-sec; as cranks and the facts as "conspiracy theories". Well a conspiracy is when

17:42 techrights-sec; two or more get together to conspire, which is what Bill has lived by ...

17:47 techrights-sec; Bill's PR team and hired repuration launderers seem to use a lot of strawmen

17:47 techrights-sec; to achieve their goals.

17:47 techrights-sec; Few can figure out the past any more due to lost publications, erased web sites,

17:47 techrights-sec; and lots and lots of chaff.

17:47 techrights-sec; The string "AARD" turns up nothing relevant or authoritative.

17:47 techrights-sec; in the search engines.

17:47 schestowitz-TR; in searx if I enter aard microsoft

17:47 schestowitz-TR; wikipedia is top mresults

17:47 schestowitz-TR; techrights in page 1 too

17:47 schestowitz-TR; aard is a short acronym and means more in languages tgar have the double aa

17:47 schestowitz-TR; it's also an old story

17:47 schestowitz-TR; things get deranked with age

17:48 techrights-sec; Wikipedia is the playground of marketeers and politicians not facts.

17:48 techrights-sec; Anything left in a Wikipedia entry is going to consist of nearly pure spin.

17:48 techrights-sec; Yes, Google in particular kills older entries.

17:50 schestowitz-TR; that's why we should encourage people to use internal site searches

17:50 schestowitz-TR; many don't

17:50 schestowitz-TR; the google search bars are everywhere

17:50 schestowitz-TR; even voice-nenabled

17:50 schestowitz-TR; btw, how is search for TM coming along? we've not done commits latel

17:50 schestowitz-TR; the site is stable as is, but...

17:52 techrights-sec; ack

17:52 techrights-sec; The prototype search seemed not so viable. Though I have seen quite a few

17:52 techrights-sec; mentions of FTS5

17:54 techrights-sec; at other projects.

17:56 schestowitz-TR; apropos, i looked up that ccc thing in a search engine and know what hgappendd there

17:56 schestowitz-TR; I remember in twitter he used to entertain this idea he was saving egypt and even put arabic words in his profile

17:56 schestowitz-TR; no tact!

17:59 schestowitz-TR; in the encryption community we've long had this burden and a need to distance ourselves from terrorists

17:59 schestowitz-TR; as it was being stigmatised as such

17:59 schestowitz-TR; that's like pinochet showing up in a CIA "publis outreach"

17:59 schestowitz-TR; *public

18:14 techrights-sec; For the search, it might be feasible to figure it out for TR and then

18:14 techrights-sec; retro fit it back into TM ... possibly.

18:14 techrights-sec; For TR, it will be important to do the date differently. There was not

18:14 techrights-sec; time to fix it in TM. The date internal date representation should

18:14 techrights-sec; be an integer comprized of the UNIX epoch. That'll bring in the 2038 problem

18:14 techrights-sec; I expect, but will allow for a lot more flexibility regarding how to process

18:14 techrights-sec; and manipulate the date. Postgresql has a date structure but SQLite3 has

18:14 techrights-sec; only an integer, but it does not have to be a 32-bit integer all the time

19:04 schestowitz-TR; we thought about going to a spacious gym, but it's not worth the risk

19:04 schestowitz-TR; people with kids and office job have no chance or properly isolating
