00:17 schestowitz-TR; I've just assessed space usage on the pi
00:18 schestowitz-TR; it seems in terms of space f(disk) footprint ipfs also becomes quite bloated
00:18 schestowitz-TR; over 5GB now
00:18 schestowitz-TR; for about 800MB of actual data shared
00:18 schestowitz-TR; in addition to being CPU and bandwidth pig
00:18 schestowitz-TR; Maybe a future implementation can tackle that

05:48 Techrights-sec2; I'm not keen on IPFS, just Gemini
05:48 Techrights-sec2; I've not listened to Titus for a year or so
05:48 Techrights-sec2; he said relevant things so seldom that it has not bee worth even checking
05:48 Techrights-sec2; on the titles of his videos IMHO
05:48 schestowitz-TR; titus makes it seem like ipfs is all for "crypto" crankery
05:48 schestowitz-TR; he said he would avoid saying blockchain and web3
05:48 schestowitz-TR; but then he goes on to promote other "bro" stuff
05:51 schestowitz-TR; draft
05:51 schestowitz-TR; summary leftr blank
05:51 schestowitz-TR; as I probably need to highlight some more points
05:51 Techrights-sec2; ack
05:51 Techrights-sec2; by the way, where are the Comes v Microsoft exhibits on TR?
05:51 Techrights-sec2; I looked for aout 10 minutes and could not dig any complete list up
05:52 schestowitz; https://antitrust.slated.org/www.iowaconsumercase.org/index.html
05:52 -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-antitrust.slated.org | Comes v. Microsoft
05:53 schestowitz-TR; do you look for an index of all the files?
05:54 Techrights-sec2; I was looking for one
05:54 Techrights-sec2; yes I found the slated.org site but I though that there was an archive
05:54 Techrights-sec2; at TR too or did I misunderstand / misremember?
05:55 schestowitz-TR; we kept selected and important ones
05:55 schestowitz-TR; might be a good idea to keep a complete mirror on one of your drives
05:55 schestowitz-TR; in case all those other mirrors go offline
05:55 schestowitz-TR; which will inevitably happen one day
05:56 Techrights-sec2; ok it might be important to say right out on the relevantpages that only
05:56 Techrights-sec2; a few important ones have been archived
05:58 Techrights-sec2; a TR mirror might be good, though i'm not sure it is easy to get it all
05:58 Techrights-sec2; from Groklaw any more
05:58 Techrights-sec2; most of their pages are broken so even though the PDFs (and many transcriptions)
05:58 Techrights-sec2; are available there still discovering them would be a challenge
06:01 schestowitz-TR; or we could create a mirror, space is not a contraint anymore and bandwidth for backup is a bit better
06:01 schestowitz-TR; I reckon the total is roughly a couple of gigs
06:01 schestowitz-TR; and we can host it under some directory
06:01 schestowitz-TR; then make an index for them first in gemini and then html
06:01 schestowitz-TR; how to scrape all these pages (I could contatc keith for ssh copy, but doubt he would replied; we've not talked in other a decade)
06:01 schestowitz-TR; would be up to you
06:01 schestowitz-TR; I'm sure there is a way
06:01 schestowitz-TR; *over a decade
06:01 schestowitz-TR; if "Grouch" from Groklaw could wget the whole site in 2006 or thereabouts, it should not be hard to scrape from slated in 2022
06:01 Techrights-sec2; if he is still available, that would be great
06:01 Techrights-sec2; http://groklaw.net/staticpages/index.php?page=ComesExhDate
06:01 Techrights-sec2; that might have them
06:01 -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-groklaw.net | Groklaw - Comes v. Microsoft Exhibits by Date
06:02 schestowitz-TR; it is not an urgent task, but if you're up for it I guess we could even scrape groklaw's descriptions of the PDFs
06:02 schestowitz-TR; and make a better complete index of everything
06:02 schestowitz-TR; where it's easy to pin down stuff
06:09 Techrights-sec2; ok
06:09 Techrights-sec2; s/teh/the/
06:09 Techrights-sec2; M$ pretending to be a victim is a separate topic from M$ pretending to be a
06:09 Techrights-sec2; security authority; the pretending to be a security authority is the greater
06:09 Techrights-sec2; harm and should be featured / addressed first; but in either case the should be
06:09 Techrights-sec2; in separate paragraps so they can be addressed separately
06:09 Techrights-sec2; same for the bad engineering, that should be higher up and more prominent
06:09 Techrights-sec2; IMO

06:32 Techrights-sec2; ack
06:33 schestowitz-TR; thanks for the help
06:33 schestowitz-TR; I need to come up with more topics to cover
06:33 schestowitz-TR; now that gulag noise wastes no time
06:33 schestowitz-TR; it's also where a lot of this FUD comes from
06:33 schestowitz-TR; without it, that's a lot less visible
06:33 schestowitz-TR; we are discussing this atm:
06:34 schestowitz-TR; -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights- www.bleepingcomputer.com | This browser extension lets you remove specific sites from search results
06:34 schestowitz-TR; <schestowitz_TR> maybe the wrong approach
06:34 schestowitz-TR; to mask away the real issue
06:34 schestowitz-TR; sites like bleepingcompute appearing in "search"
06:34 schestowitz-TR; the site is connected to Microsoft
06:34 schestowitz-TR; and spreads a lot of misinformation
06:34 schestowitz-TR; Gulag Noise indexes it
06:34 schestowitz-TR; as "news';
06:34 schestowitz-TR; which in turn helps Microsoft propagands spread
06:34 schestowitz-TR; so one approach is to shun the search engines that promote i
06:34 schestowitz-TR; not to mask away those results :-)
06:34 schestowitz-TR; <AdmFubar> now you rid the search results of the propaganda sites
06:34 schestowitz-TR; <-- Skywave has quit (connection closed)
06:34 schestowitz-TR; --> Skywave (~SkywaveC3@qiahibkh2iwka.irc) has joined #techrights
06:34 schestowitz-TR; <AdmFubar> A form of catnip for Chinese bears would cause pandamoanium ;)
06:36 Techrights-sec2; np
06:36 Techrights-sec2; google does poorly as a search engine any more
06:36 Techrights-sec2; yes garbage sites are ranked high in the search results
06:36 Techrights-sec2; and at the same time many other sites appear to not even have been indexed
06:38 schestowitz-TR; honest question to you:
06:38 schestowitz-TR; is there a way around all those so-called search engines and centralised 'international' encyclopedia
06:38 schestowitz-TR; where dissenting views are "trolls" and "fake news"?
06:38 schestowitz-TR; and, if so, can we promote these and should we?
06:38 schestowitz-TR; the web became a lot worse than mainstream broadcast
06:39 schestowitz-TR; in that it divides people, spreads lies, both for cranks and for oligarchs
06:39 schestowitz-TR; broadcast TV at least tried to keep sociwety together; same for radio
06:39 Techrights-sec2; the search engines have become bottlenecks for the WWW
06:39 Techrights-sec2; the only alternative would be to build a new search engine and that
06:39 Techrights-sec2; requires massive, costly infrastructure. It'd basically mean running one's
06:39 Techrights-sec2; own data center just to get started, and you can be sure that M$ and Google
06:39 Techrights-sec2; will do all in their power to prevent a new search engine from gaining market
06:39 Techrights-sec2; share
06:40 schestowitz-TR; china dns russia tried, to name two large nations (baidu, yandex), but they are being outspent by a country 31,000 billion in debt.
06:41 Techrights-sec2; yes good points about radio and television, they also made a point about
06:41 Techrights-sec2; sticking to facts, at least pre-Newsmax, pre-FauxNews days. Now
06:41 Techrights-sec2; too much is about opinions (sides).
06:41 Techrights-sec2; yandex is gone baidu never was
06:41 Techrights-sec2; ddg was a fraund or sham
06:41 Techrights-sec2; startpage is underpowered
06:43 schestowitz-TR; startpage is NOT a search engine
06:43 schestowitz-TR; it's an imposter
06:43 schestowitz-TR; the same company, system1, also scooped up the old search brands, inc. ones I liked and used like webcrawler
06:43 schestowitz-TR; tell me when you see ddg and startpage bots in our logs ;-) ;-)
06:43 schestowitz-TR; they inherit the bias, the censorship, from us military contractors that push proprietary software and survewillance
06:43 schestowitz-TR; for mopstly imperiaal geopolitical goals, thinly disguised as "science"
06:45 Techrights-sec2; it is that too but even as an imposter it is underpowered
06:45 Techrights-sec2; ack
06:45 schestowitz-TR; (of note: rising energy prices threaten the viability of many cpu-intensive companies/operations, never mind supply chain shortages for
06:45 schestowitz-TR; equipment, raising demand and prices of such equipment)
06:45 Techrights-sec2; yes
06:45 Techrights-sec2; which is one of the secondary reasons they've been moving datacenters into
06:45 Techrights-sec2; the nordic countries near either hydroelectric stations or nuclear plants or
06:45 Techrights-sec2; both
06:50 schestowitz-TR; my pov: ('radical')
06:50 schestowitz-TR; f* search engines
06:50 schestowitz-TR; they are inefficient and biased
06:50 schestowitz-TR; it's like the "crypto" bros
06:50 schestowitz-TR; but with a suit and a tie
06:50 schestowitz-TR; and cartoons that greet you, or bing "wallpaper of the day"
06:50 schestowitz-TR; we need stuff like dmoz
06:50 schestowitz-TR; rss
06:50 schestowitz-TR; maybe even planets derived from rss
06:50 schestowitz-TR; still a lot better than random and biased searches
06:50 schestowitz-TR; an index of daily things
06:50 schestowitz-TR; where you can scan for patterns
06:50 schestowitz-TR; atm we accmulate thousands of gemini links, about 80 each day
06:50 schestowitz-TR; later we can run programs on these
06:50 schestowitz-TR; and maybe use some algo to organise these by topics
06:50 schestowitz-TR; cat /othercapsules/* | cut [get title field] | grep [something witty]
06:50 schestowitz-TR; those would take just seconds to run
06:50 schestowitz-TR; and can make genre pages
06:50 schestowitz-TR; without human intervention of data-mining
06:50 schestowitz-TR; that's just to give one example
06:50 schestowitz-TR; not the DMOZ approach
06:50 schestowitz-TR; DMOZ itself was curated by humans, which meant bias of a different kind
06:50 schestowitz-TR; many wanted desperattely to be in DMOZ and PageRank was partly calculated based on DMOZ status, IIRC
06:51 Techrights-sec2; the problem is not just daily discovery but location and retrieval of documents
06:51 Techrights-sec2; which are many years old
06:51 Techrights-sec2; Yahoo was too, until it was targeted by M$ and destroyed by a minion
06:53 schestowitz-TR; finding older documents is already possible, BUT
06:53 schestowitz-TR; few use the correct tools
06:53 schestowitz-TR; such as PubMed
06:53 schestowitz-TR; the kids are taught "just gulag it" or "gulag is your friend"
06:53 schestowitz-TR; so they choose to go through a middleman and filter
06:53 schestowitz-TR; which is not good
06:53 schestowitz-TR; sites do have search facilities, ours included
06:53 schestowitz-TR; tuxmachines and wordpress searches are quite decent
06:53 schestowitz-TR; mediawiki search is not so decent, but maybe that improved
06:53 Techrights-sec2; I disagree, it is all but impossible to find older documents especially if they
06:53 Techrights-sec2; are more than a few years old
06:53 Techrights-sec2; Google does not have the older documents or else refuses to show them,
06:53 Techrights-sec2; even when one is going after a known item
06:53 Techrights-sec2; Being trained to go through the filter is only about getting them to accept
06:53 Techrights-sec2; the culling that Google does and inure them to further censorship in additional
06:54 Techrights-sec2; forms
06:55 schestowitz-TR; I don't diagree, I think we say most the same things in different ways
06:55 schestowitz-TR; another observation is, the incentive to make good cms-level search is reduced by the fact that
06:56 schestowitz-TR; few people bother with them
06:56 schestowitz-TR; on android, starting point is often so-called 'search' or "OK Gulag" (record my surroundings and listen to my mind, hear me out, yo!)
06:56 schestowitz-TR; so PubMed and similar sites are beholden to the beast in pe4ople's pockets
06:56 Techrights-sec2; yes the CMS-level searches are poorly implemented and use plain strings
06:56 Techrights-sec2; rather than stemming or other linguistic tricks; thus they tend to steer
06:56 Techrights-sec2; sites to Google instead but Google will not index their whole site :/
06:57 schestowitz; http://schestowitz.com/iuron/
06:57 -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-schestowitz.com | Iuron - Semantic Knowledge Engine
06:57 schestowitz; 2005, it was a hot topic back then
06:59 schestowitz-TR; we've moved not into semantics but brute force with map-reduce
06:59 schestowitz-TR; also, we might want to point out environmental footprints
06:59 schestowitz-TR; to get people off these platforms
06:59 schestowitz-TR; that worked against "crypto" bros
06:59 schestowitz-TR; Amazon keeps its DC locations secret
06:59 schestowitz-TR; so we don't know the full extent of the pollution
06:59 schestowitz-TR; or the inventories indoors
06:59 schestowitz-TR; gemini reduces the waste at server and client side
07:00 Techrights-sec2; there was also YaCy
07:00 Techrights-sec2; client-side javascript is an environmental disaster
07:00 Techrights-sec2; yes gemini is good in that respect and in other areas too
07:02 schestowitz-TR; yacy = chicken and egg problem
07:02 schestowitz-TR; also, js makes crawling the web hard if not impossible
07:02 schestowitz-TR; maybe harder than crawling flash
07:02 schestowitz-TR; with activescript and js you cannot even LINK to some pertinent bits
07:02 schestowitz-TR; thw whole concept of interlinked pages breaks down
07:02 schestowitz-TR; with "for each x there's a file"
07:02 schestowitz-TR; or "each thing you read is an address or "id"
07:04 Techrights-sec2; that is one of the intended side effects of js, imho
07:04 Techrights-sec2; yep
07:04 Techrights-sec2; s/breaks down/is prevented/
07:04 Techrights-sec2; similar for the addictive infinite scrolling pages those are f-ing useless
07:04 Techrights-sec2; for anything other than wasting time in an interactive session
07:04 schestowitz-TR; we should explain to people, "look..."
07:04 schestowitz-TR; the web USED to be for web page
07:04 schestowitz-TR; the web is NOT for web pages
07:04 schestowitz-TR; not anymore
07:04 schestowitz-TR; so we need a platform for web pages
07:04 schestowitz-TR; the web will go crazy in that other nasty trajectory
07:04 schestowitz-TR; good luck with that
07:04 schestowitz-TR; zero-days and millions of lines of craft and wasted b/w and spying and...
07:05 Techrights-sec2; it'd be like trying to epxlain colors to a blind person
07:05 Techrights-sec2; yep
07:06 schestowitz-TR; notice how in irc we can do a lot of creative stuff, inc. linking to line
07:06 schestowitz-TR; Twitter USED to be like that
07:06 schestowitz-TR; Now it's like Slack
07:06 schestowitz-TR; bloated, shitty, focuses on "engagement"
07:07 schestowitz-TR; slack "features": now we have BROWN hand thumbs up emoji and you can press "like"
07:08 Techrights-sec2; slack is about tracking worker communication for management.
07:08 Techrights-sec2; you'd have to check into what kind of special UI it has for managers to
07:08 Techrights-sec2; track even the "private" messages between employees.
07:08 Techrights-sec2; By the way, when Slack is named, I still think of http://www.slackware.com/
07:08 Techrights-sec2; and not the proprietary spyware piggybacking on the name/trademark/servicemark
07:08 -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-The Slackware Linux Project
07:10 schestowitz-TR; never ever run anything slack of access anything slack from a personal machine
07:10 schestowitz-TR; the same is true for other things
07:10 schestowitz-TR; when handlinging toxic material use a suitable bin
07:10 Techrights-sec2; I would not be surprised to learn that it indexes and makes available

08:23 schestowitz-TR; sounds softer
08:23 schestowitz-TR; less "shock value"
08:23 schestowitz-TR; is the point about Microsoft now covered in the image below the summary?
08:23 schestowitz-TR; I even added the MSFT logo to make it clear what people are seeing
08:23 Techrights-sec2; I tend not to look at the images since they do not render in Gemini
08:24 schestowitz-TR; I noticed that in poems
08:24 schestowitz-TR; the conversion to gemini flattens the verses
08:24 schestowitz-TR; not sure if an easy fix exists for that
08:24 schestowitz-TR; it's the same in daily links when there are poem-style articles
08:34 Techrights-sec2; is there some structural markup around such text to indicate that it can
08:34 Techrights-sec2; be processed differently?
08:45 Techrights-sec2; ok, if an indicator can be added then the post can be processed appropriately

10:32 schestowitz; <p>The very first major text adventure game, Colossal Cave Adventure, is 46 years old this year. And, with the 3D re-make (by the legendary Ken and Roberta Williams, founders of Sierra) around the corner now seems like a great time to revisit the original classic.</p>
10:32 schestowitz; <p>Wether you are new to Colossal Cave Adventure (often simply called adventure or ADVENT), or have simply not played it in some time, below you will find everything you need to experience the game in the most ultimate way possible.</p>

13:16 schestowitz-TR; re grauniad
13:16 schestowitz-TR; been 4-5 years since all that
13:16 schestowitz-TR; but katherine vine, iirc, was the editor when they fought him like hell
13:16 schestowitz-TR; hte previous editor criticised the guardian for what it had done to assange
13:16 schestowitz-TR; not that he himself was a true friend
13:16 schestowitz-TR; I often assume, based on readings, that some intel agencies have spoecifl relationship with the press
13:16 schestowitz-TR; in the uk they even form alliances, like guardian boasting about d-notices
13:18 Techrights-sec2; d-notices ?
13:18 Techrights-sec2; I presume that is a form of formal censorship or propaganda

13:18 schestowitz-TR; censorship is a subset of propagadnda
13:18 schestowitz-TR; also connected to characters assassination and assassination
13:18 schestowitz-TR; you struggle to talk when circulation stops
13:18 Techrights-sec2; yes
13:18 Techrights-sec2; that too

16:25 -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-schestowitz.com Blog Archive There was an increase in the percentage of people testing positive for coronavirus (COVID-19) in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland
16:28 schestowitz-TR; typical contrarian: covid-19 is all fake, it's just seasonal flu
16:28 schestowitz-TR; better contrarian: the govenment only cares for big businesses by acting like this is just another flu
16:28 schestowitz-TR; a "flu" that (I'm told) causes ear pain and other weird things I never heard of before
16:28 schestowitz-TR; the flu sucks
16:28 schestowitz-TR; but the flu is here to stay
16:28 Techrights-sec2; ack
16:28 Techrights-sec2; it causes a lot of damage, much of which is not yet properly cataloged
16:30 schestowitz-TR; I am preparing for media stories about dead babies and why it's important to urgency give shots to all toddlers and newborns
16:30 schestowitz-TR; selling those shots in countries where daily salary is 2 USD is less profitable
16:43 schestowitz-TR; I want to implement a diff operator for gemini so I can present "New!"
16:43 schestowitz-TR; items across the space, like "past 3 hours"
16:43 schestowitz-TR; as long as the output is relatively consistent I think this should work most of the time
16:43 schestowitz-TR; eventually I can even pipe some of it to irc
16:43 schestowitz-TR; I can head or tail it to ensure it does not flood the channel
16:43 schestowitz-TR; starting now..
17:25 schestowitz; done: gemini://gemini.techrights.org/planet/othercapsules/new.gmi
17:25 Techrights-sec2; ack
17:45 schestowitz-TR; I've just pushed to git in case you want to 'git show'
17:45 schestowitz-TR; it's nothing witty, but it does open up some possibilities
17:45 schestowitz-TR; think of it as "planet gemini notifications, currently polling 180 mins apart
18:14 Techrights-sec2; checking
18:14 schestowitz-TR; I am making further changes atm
18:14 schestowitz-TR; headsup in case you too make edits
18:14 schestowitz-TR; I also changed cron t0 60 mins

22:37 schestowitz-TR; working just monday, then free till weekend
22:37 schestowitz-TR; by month's end I'll know my status better, but for sure we can cover all the bills
22:37 schestowitz-TR; savings lost value globally, due to inflation
22:37 schestowitz-TR; that's not something you can magically prevent
