07:04 schestowitz-TR; you know things are bad when masks are BACK
07:04 schestowitz-TR; btw, today's links start at "Leftovers"
07:04 schestowitz-TR; I wanted to ask to be sure
07:04 schestowitz-TR; not that I have a reason to think anything was omitted
07:04 schestowitz-TR; news was very slow, so I focused on UPC
07:04 schestowitz-TR; phoronux did lots of shitposting: 3 microsoft "stories", today a "story" about 10-work TWEET!

07:14 techrights-sec; hmm. that's not the right result, yet it's what happens when I re-run the
07:14 techrights-sec; merge script. will have to look.
07:14 techrights-sec; Ok. It turns out it is correct, or at least nothing above that remains. :/
07:14 techrights-sec; Yes news was slow
08:02 schestowitz-TR; slow news can be good to
08:02 schestowitz-TR; it has given me a lot of time to do chores here
08:02 schestowitz-TR; some is visible in git, but most is to do with backup regimes
08:02 schestowitz-TR; I've just done a lot of maintenance on the ipfs instance running here
08:02 schestowitz-TR; we have a morning backup all of all our important working files
08:03 schestowitz-TR; i need to check whether power supply for it (and the router) is visible in case of outages
08:03 schestowitz-TR; btw, rianne and I assume either
08:03 schestowitz-TR; a) the company "left us alone" re smart phones
08:03 schestowitz-TR; b) it was delayed a lot
08:03 schestowitz-TR; c) nobody will have them after our fightback
08:03 schestowitz-TR; I just hope it's not (b)
08:04 techrights-sec; I hope it was C
08:21 techrights-sec; (b) is better than (a) and option (c) is the best
08:22 *DaemonFC has quit (Quit: Leaving)
08:24 schestowitz-TR; rant: this morning I noticed ipfs had spawned lots of processes
08:24 schestowitz-TR; 600 processes ran on the pi in total
08:24 schestowitz-TR; managed to recover without ruining today's backup or rebooting etc.
08:24 schestowitz-TR; ipfs can be a bit of a kludge at times
08:24 schestowitz-TR; but on the server it runs OK now
08:24 schestowitz-TR; not sure how you fixed the cron on the server the last time
08:24 schestowitz-TR; you changed something somewhere in the system level
08:24 schestowitz-TR; the pi is more of a backup of that
08:25 techrights-sec; No idea, I do not recall.
08:25 techrights-sec; However, I wonder if IPFS has any advantage over plain old BitTorrent?
08:25 techrights-sec; Maybe it would be just better to seed the material over BitTorrent instead?
08:25 techrights-sec; That'd be more reliable.
08:29 schestowitz-TR; they don't work the same way
08:29 schestowitz-TR; dht is the same, but addressing and storage are different
08:29 schestowitz-TR; ipfs is, "i have these hashes", "pass it on"
08:29 schestowitz-TR; and the swarm keeps track of what is where
08:29 schestowitz-TR; i don't regret investing hundreds of hour of work in ipfs because it is still growing
08:29 schestowitz-TR; like gemini does
08:29 schestowitz-TR; hmmm... reminds me to add recent gemini links to TM
08:29 schestowitz-TR; brb
08:42 *schestowitz-TR all for vaccines, still looking for something good, shopping for something demonstrably effective and safe
08:48 schestowitz-TR; Gulag translate gives me a word salad that is barely reasable
08:48 schestowitz-TR; and lacks context
08:48 schestowitz-TR; *redable
08:52 schestowitz-TR; My eyes can comprehend a buncn of English words
08:52 schestowitz-TR; but the message isn't in them
08:52 schestowitz-TR; it's like that reading "for the sake of reading" where the mind is somewhere else compltely
08:52 schestowitz-TR; and so it's just a little better than not reading at all (some people actually read books this wa
08:52 schestowitz-TR; way for a false sense of "progress")
08:52 schestowitz-TR; the clarify in my own writing isn't great, I admit this
08:52 schestowitz-TR; doctorow is a good writer, glyn moody to name ones who cover tech
08:52 schestowitz-TR; but imho translations can be a waste of time unless the material is very very rare
08:52 schestowitz-TR; and there is room for misunderstandings
08:52 schestowitz-TR; we mentioned this in relation to the epo many times
08:52 schestowitz-TR; /me recalls that "users" of EPO are angry right now, they realise the EPO goes "to shit"
08:57 schestowitz-TR; ---
08:57 schestowitz-TR; epo vision: HEY HI HEY HI, Google translate, "products", more "business", "high "productivity", intern, SEAL,
08:57 schestowitz-TR; HEY HI, HEY HI,. automation, Microsoft, clown, quality of service, sales, lobbying, UPC NEXT YEAR, PROMISE!
08:57 schestowitz-TR; I am the "fucking president"
08:57 schestowitz-TR; imagine this is EUrope's forfront scientific classificattion org
08:57 schestowitz-TR; where they are MEANT to have the best researchers in their respective fields
08:57 schestowitz-TR; if you see the video of Campinos from yesterday
08:57 schestowitz-TR; it's like watching a kid on his Microsoff Surface
08:57 schestowitz-TR; he keeps hitting the desk
08:57 schestowitz-TR; maybe moving the hands so much is a medditerrean thing
08:57 schestowitz-TR; but either way he is totally unaware of how much noise this is making
08:57 schestowitz-TR; so even in his kmother's tongue he talks like a f*ing rbotos
08:57 schestowitz-TR; saying lies and nonsense
08:57 schestowitz-TR; even zemlin is more qualified than he is
08:57 schestowitz-TR; and that says a loit
08:57 schestowitz-TR; *forefront
08:59 schestowitz-TR; sorry for the rant or the vanting, it just feels like those who progress to positions of powers are least
08:59 schestowitz-TR; qualified and I don't sense this was "always like this"
08:59 schestowitz-TR; as a kid I remember John Major and some really decent politicians
08:59 schestowitz-TR; even if you did not agree with their polocieis
08:59 schestowitz-TR; and now you have Trump wanting Marjorie Taylor to run USDOJ
08:59 schestowitz-TR; f***ing qanon pressing charges on intl scale, imagine that...
08:59 schestowitz-TR; while the US voter drools and blames "immigrants"

09:07 schestowitz-TR; we also did not have prime minister uploading dancing videos of them "partying"
09:07 schestowitz-TR; or peers doing that in social control media
09:07 schestowitz-TR; but that's a separate issue
09:07 schestowitz-TR; they had privacy in their private lives
09:07 schestowitz-TR; they danced and parties
09:07 schestowitz-TR; but not for "facebooks" and "tiktoks"
09:10 techrights-sec; ack
09:10 techrights-sec; As far as the tsunami of illegal migrants there in the US, there seems to have
09:10 techrights-sec; been and still be some coordination somehow since the waves (e.g. Haiti) came
09:10 techrights-sec; from a diverse and widespread multitude of origin countries but arrived more
09:10 techrights-sec; or less at the same time to the same point on the border. That very strongly
09:10 techrights-sec; suggests they are being coordinated somehow. Given the situation, one could
09:10 techrights-sec; call that weaponization. At the bottom of it all is a problem no politicians
09:10 techrights-sec; are allowed to address: massive overpopulation
09:12 schestowitz-TR; when people run out of space or basic resources they expand to places where there is space and spare
09:12 schestowitz-TR; resources
09:12 schestowitz-TR; but yesterday I watched lots of stats (uk, ireland, us) including birthday
09:12 schestowitz-TR; 2020 was low, then picked up
09:12 schestowitz-TR; and it takes 9 months (latency)
09:12 schestowitz-TR; so time will tell if people "got the message"
09:12 schestowitz-TR; economically at least
09:12 schestowitz-TR; kids cannot be aborted
09:12 schestowitz-TR; embryos can (for now)
09:14 schestowitz-TR; parenting seems to have become a fashionable "hobby" due to peer pressure, family pressure, and religion
09:14 schestowitz-TR; but sooner or later when people realise about 3 billion women already do this "hobby" they might
09:14 schestowitz-TR; choose something a bit more unique
09:14 schestowitz-TR; like sewing, gardening, running a charity, working in a charity shop, herding cats/dogs
09:16 techrights-sec; Not just space but resources are more imporant. Carrying capacity is exceeded
09:16 techrights-sec; wildly even in countries with a "low" population density if one measurs only
09:16 techrights-sec; people per square kilometer. If one measures by the ability to clothe, house,
09:16 techrights-sec; feed, and educate, then few are even remotely sustainable.

09:18 schestowitz-TR; later they do "D & I" web pages, like the EPO's "diversity" fluff from the other day

10:30 schestowitz-TR; razors and other things that are difficult to find at discounted rates are getting more expensive
10:30 schestowitz-TR; not at typical rates
10:30 schestowitz-TR; so I changed my shaving routine a lot
10:30 schestowitz-TR; we checked the nearby gym, maybe next year if cases rop below 1 in 1000 we can go there cautiously
10:30 schestowitz-TR; not been in a gym "proper" since May 2021
10:30 schestowitz-TR; seems the travel industry is collapsing "again" in spite of the bailouts
10:30 schestowitz-TR; michael west wrote about those things last week and booking.com has many layoffs now
10:30 schestowitz-TR; when we came back to gym summer 2020 about 500 cases/day in uk
10:30 schestowitz-TR; left may 2021 when it rose to thousands
10:30 schestowitz-TR; now it's like one person in 20 or one in 30
10:30 schestowitz-TR; two orders of magnitude higher, maybe three
12:25 schestowitz-TR; observation: jwallen published about half a dozen articles, mostly howtos, yesterday
12:25 schestowitz-TR; after several days of nothing
12:25 schestowitz-TR; so you get a sense of what dates the editors work and the workflow
12:25 schestowitz-TR; for howtos this might be ok because they are timeless at long as applicable to a recent distro/similar
12:25 schestowitz-TR; albeit sometimes the howtos is "how to install [just released version]"
12:25 schestowitz-TR; for emergent news this latency is a real killer
14:30 techrights-sec; ack
14:30 techrights-sec; The editors probably work one or, at the most, two days a week.
14:32 schestowitz-TR; I think two
14:32 schestowitz-TR; they just archive all content and maintain 'skeleton crew' on a budget
14:32 schestowitz-TR; jwallen works for zdnet (techrepublic is becoming a spamfarm this year, you noticed that too,
14:32 schestowitz-TR; you sent me a link; same owner, different domain)
14:32 schestowitz-TR; zdnet will be next to become spamfarm, it already does this habitually, but that is
14:32 schestowitz-TR; a bit more subtle
14:32 schestowitz-TR; they also pay linuxtoday.com to send traffic to the webspam
14:32 schestowitz-TR; probably for gulag search ranks
14:32 schestowitz-TR; this... is today's www
14:34 schestowitz-TR; be sure to read what I said about phoronix in irc
14:34 schestowitz-TR; it's getting ridiculous
14:34 schestowitz-TR; tl;dr 10-word tweets become 'articles' and little patches (like a few lines in charge) become articles
14:34 schestowitz-TR; longger than the code
14:34 schestowitz-TR; those beers he brags about in photos will be needed soon
14:34 schestowitz-TR; i can't blame him much tbh, news is very slow
14:34 schestowitz-TR; i'm still (at this moment) hunting for topics, mostly in vain
14:43 techrights-sec; checking
14:43 techrights-sec; checking
14:44 schestowitz-TR; atm instead of chewcking covid-19 figures I mostly catch up with x86 and mst layoffs
14:44 schestowitz-TR; seems pretty deep
14:44 schestowitz-TR; which is good
14:44 schestowitz-TR; their whole stack needs to perish

14:49 schestowitz-TR; ah, yes, I don't know enough about this tbh
14:49 schestowitz-TR; larabel is just doing brochure and marketing copypasta
14:49 schestowitz-TR; which has become typical of him
14:49 schestowitz-TR; never challenging what AMD, Intel, and GAFAM are claiming
14:49 schestowitz-TR; it's not as bad as spamnil, but does not have much value
14:49 schestowitz-TR; I could just read the slides or read press release
14:49 schestowitz-TR; without expert opinion on what they hide
14:49 schestowitz-TR; it is about as worthless as those thousands parrots who m
14:49 schestowitz-TR; merely repeat Microsoft saying layoffs affected less than 1000
14:49 schestowitz-TR; *obviously a lie! but how does not get a tally? staw poll? needa whistleblower
14:49 schestowitz-TR; from accounting
14:49 schestowitz-TR; and if anonymous, then they'll shoot the messenger or call it "fake"
14:49 schestowitz-TR; ot attack the publisher
14:49 schestowitz-TR; we used to have more leaks, even direct
14:49 schestowitz-TR; now it's like drawing blood out of a rock
14:51 schestowitz-TR; if you trawl the www (I did too),
14:51 schestowitz-TR; you will find that source is some random "twitter" account
14:51 schestowitz-TR; or someone telling a publisher (BI, I think), I "got fired"
14:51 schestowitz-TR; so they ask Microsoft, Microsoft throws some number at them
14:51 schestowitz-TR; and they they quote that as holy grail truth
14:51 techrights-sec; Yet again "twitter" is nothing more that hearsay
14:53 schestowitz-TR; sometimes there is true material in it, but the signal/noise ratio is poor
14:53 schestowitz-TR; it's like putting microphones in a large crowd
14:53 schestowitz-TR; hoping that somone you'll come up with a story*somehow
14:56 schestowitz-TR; I looked again at phoronix
14:56 schestowitz-TR; he quotes a wall of text and shows slides
14:56 schestowitz-TR; it's very promotional
14:56 schestowitz-TR; and it doesn't seem like he knows what he writes about
14:56 schestowitz-TR; he is guessing like I would
14:56 schestowitz-TR; but I don't claim to know, nor do I cover it
14:56 schestowitz-TR; OCP is Microsoft
14:56 schestowitz-TR; seems like another "extend" in the "open core" (close system) ploy
14:56 schestowitz-TR; or "secure core"
14:56 schestowitz-TR; "risc-v" coopted for good openwashing measure
14:56 schestowitz-TR; you could ask mjg about it, but he'd mostly go on and on with technobabble
14:56 schestowitz-TR; and then say that critics of "secure core" are "transphobes"
14:58 psydruid; Bill says you're redundant now
14:59 schestowitz-TR; they fries "secutity" stuff
14:59 schestowitz-TR; amid "freeze"
14:59 schestowitz-TR; because security was all along facade there
14:59 schestowitz-TR; they need more janitors
14:59 schestowitz-TR; to clean up the mess
14:59 schestowitz-TR; and maybe sign some support contracts
14:59 schestowitz-TR; to help with "cyber"
14:59 schestowitz-TR; after many Microsoft machines became zombies
15:00 schestowitz-TR; locked up by ransomware
15:00 psydruid; that's what I meant the other day
15:01 psydruid; there are many Wintel apologists here in the Netherlands, who are in denial about what's happening even as things are changing in the US
15:02 psydruid; even going as far as saying the Microsoft environment is more powerful and GNU/Linux is only useful for simple things
15:03 psydruid; and that's people who used to do Unix and GNU/Linux sysadmin
15:04 psydruid; they will only move on reluctantly when the foundation they built their career on moved out from under them
15:07 schestowitz-TR; at their own peril
15:07 schestowitz-TR; obviously
15:08 schestowitz-TR; many gnu/linux users are former windows users
15:08 schestowitz-TR; many work in MAGMA/GAFAM now
15:08 schestowitz-TR; but not Microsoft
