11:22 Techrightssec; Automated links etc now in place

11:23 schestowitz-TR; thanks, just in time as I ran out of things to add (the rss feeds refresh slowly on friday mornings)

11:23 Techrightssec; Still a small bug with the umask though

11:25 schestowitz-TR; there is a new study in a top journal about how VitD disgnificant help avoid or fight back roronavirus

11:25 schestowitz-TR; more so in winter

11:25 schestowitz-TR; so I started taking supplements for it

11:25 schestowitz-TR; vitC is in the oranges and orange juice

11:25 schestowitz-TR; it seems like I know very few people who did not get infecdted

11:28 Techrightssec; biab

11:36 mjg59_; schestowitz-TR: Which journal?

11:37 schestowitz; https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-022-24053-4

↺ https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-022-24053-4

11:37 -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-www.nature.com | Association between vitamin D supplementation and COVID-19 infection and mortality | Scientific Reports

11:37 schestowitz; you're welcome

11:47 mjg59_; Huh it's not great that the abstract has grammatical errors

11:48 mjg59_; Oh, it's a VA study. There's a bunch of confounding factors there.

11:49 mjg59_; (Not saying it's wrong, just that VA studies are not necessarily representative of the population as a whole, for obvious reasons)

11:51 mjg59_; There's zero harm in taking vitamin D supplements in any case

11:54 schestowitz-TR; :-)

11:56 mjg59_; The limitations section does discuss a bunch of potential confounding factors, but a single study basically can't disentangle that

11:57 mjg59_; It's a meaningful result and I'll probably pay more attention to my vitamin D levels, but it wouldn't surprise me if the effectiveness they suggest isn't replicated in other studies

11:57 mjg59_; But it could be!


noon, November 18

12:02 schestowitz-TR; Techrightssec:

12:02 schestowitz-TR; good to see tiktok recognised by FBI as a threat

12:02 schestowitz-TR; but..

12:02 schestowitz-TR; take that a step further, Mr. Agent

12:02 schestowitz-TR; and speak of similar harm by publicly traded Wall Street "giants"

12:02 schestowitz-TR; so-called 'tech'

12:02 schestowitz-TR; inc. Microsoft, FB, and Twitter

12:03 schestowitz-TR; mjg59_: not a good time to be vitD-defficient

12:03 schestowitz-TR; not just due to winter (sunlight) but also this virus that swirling among millions per week in the UK

12:03 schestowitz-TR; was 8% some months ago

12:03 schestowitz-TR; 2% end of Oct., based on ONS

12:43 Techrightssec; see "spinach tiktok" versus "opium tiktok"

12:43 Techrightssec; and, yes, the same applies to m$ and such but minus the "spinach" part.

12:44 schestowitz-TR; vitD-deficient is never good

12:44 schestowitz-TR; regardless

12:44 schestowitz-TR; vitD-deficient (iirc) develop various skin problems too


3 PM, November 18

15:40 schestowitz-TR; reading through the thesis atm

15:40 schestowitz-TR; TR did influence some of the author's opinion

15:40 schestowitz-TR; esp. privacy and assassination circa 2013

15:40 Techrightssec; yes, it looks that way

15:40 Techrightssec; s/thesis/dissertation/

15:41 schestowitz-TR; yeah, it did seem that way

15:41 schestowitz-TR; I like where it is going

15:41 schestowitz-TR; and the 'thesis' (not in the literal sense)

15:41 schestowitz-TR; long ago I explained the correlation between spying, assassination and censorship

15:41 schestowitz-TR; then people in (what's left of) media stopped talking esp. about assassination

15:41 schestowitz-TR; as if the assassination programs just stopped

15:43 Techrightssec; The worst (maybe) part is that torture has been normalized by the media

15:43 Techrightssec; s/media/what's left of the media/


4 PM, November 18

16:28 schestowitz-TR; Cars very dangerous https://www.thenation.com/article/culture/the-average-driver-will-be-in-a-car-accident-once-every-eighteen-years/ | Source: The Nation

↺ https://www.nhtsa.gov/press-releases/early-estimate-2021-traffic-fatalities

16:38 Techrightssec; and that's just the fatalities and just for one country and just for one year ...

16:38 -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-www.nhtsa.gov | NHTSAs 2021 Estimate of Traffic Deaths Shows 16-Year High

16:40 schestowitz-TR; maybe next week I will seek number of fatal car accidents in the UK

16:40 schestowitz-TR; then compare to ONS data

16:40 schestowitz-TR; and compare to cardiac events

16:40 schestowitz-TR; I reckon we have 4-5k deaths by cars per year

16:54 Techrightssec; ack

16:55 schestowitz-TR; going to go out for groceries in a mo

16:55 schestowitz-TR; i will have time for articles/videos tonight, but lacking topics atm

16:55 schestowitz-TR; also need to clean rss feeds first

16:55 Techrightssec; ack

16:55 Techrightssec; as mentioned, pick a few random items out of the dissertation. there are

16:55 Techrightssec; many good topics there.

16:55 schestowitz-TR; I am still digesting it

7 PM, November 18

19:29 Techrightssec; Does Vista10 or Vista11 mangle the case in URLs or other strings?

19:31 schestowitz-TR; afaik, it boils down to the browser, not the OS

19:31 schestowitz-TR; how system handler for http/s passes things to the browser of choice, I think Daniel frok Norway/Opera

19:31 schestowitz-TR; had his edge deflector or whatever intercepted by Microsoft for preventing edge from 'stealking' the URL

19:32 schestowitz-TR; either way, vista10 is malware and it changes itselkf over time

19:32 schestowitz-TR; vista11 is just 10 but |+1" for hype's sake

19:41 schestowitz-TR; part joke: drinking and driving is VERY dangerous! You can get FIRED! (unless you work for EPO and EUIPO)

19:41 schestowitz-TR; also: Finnish officials who get caught in a crime can later work for EUIPO with Campinos

19:41 schestowitz-TR; (his son crashed the car while drunk)
