05:52 schestowitz-TR2; back around 8am gmt

05:52 schestowitz-TR2; sent out some mails

05:52 schestowitz-TR2; wrote some decent (I think) blog posts, aside from the above in my personal site

05:52 schestowitz-TR2; tuxmachinness: added two pages just now

05:52 schestowitz-TR2; now I can sleep happier


7 AM, August 20

07:27 Techrights-sec; ack

07:29 schestowitz-TR2; i would like to know your opinion on the email

07:29 schestowitz-TR2; and guess/hypothesis in the blog post

07:29 schestowitz-TR2; I won't check email for another day or so

07:29 schestowitz-TR2; my gut feeling sayc copyright troll

07:32 schestowitz-TR2; ---

07:32 schestowitz-TR2; same as my guess

07:32 schestowitz-TR2; curiously the target is the post about norway

07:32 schestowitz-TR2; and the 10-year violation of human rights

07:36 schestowitz-TR2; ----

07:36 schestowitz-TR2; see the first letter

07:36 schestowitz-TR2; it contains a url

07:36 schestowitz-TR2; but does nothing to identify an image

07:36 schestowitz-TR2; maybe by intention

07:36 schestowitz-TR2; cannot be an oversight so broad

07:36 schestowitz-TR2; so this is a legally-incaded D&C

07:36 schestowitz-TR2; *invalid

07:36 schestowitz-TR2; C&D

07:36 schestowitz-TR2; be sure to note the dates

07:36 schestowitz-TR2; maybe not sent to you in chromnological order

07:39 schestowitz-TR2; read my latest blog post for somc context too

07:39 schestowitz-TR2; remember the nations and role of copyright office in that country

07:39 schestowitz-TR2; that country is culpable of corruption

07:40 schestowitz-TR2; implicaitng a "public servant" (Josef)

07:40 schestowitz-TR2; we don't know if his predecessor Jesper Kongstad (KICKED OUT by the government) is

07:40 schestowitz-TR2; a model of what happens to him behind the scenes

07:40 schestowitz-TR2; we know about the expletives and international lawyers targeting the EPO behind the scnes

07:40 schestowitz-TR2; and Josef throwing "data protection" parades all the time

07:45 Techrights-sec; ack

07:45 schestowitz-TR2; to rehash (I took some nodes, aside... I will be writing more about this)

07:45 schestowitz-TR2; he SEEMS to be targeting the text of the letter from norway's labour experts

07:45 schestowitz-TR2; who cautioned it would be illegal... in 2013

07:46 schestowitz-TR2; in 2012 the judges finally confirmed it was indeed illegal

07:46 schestowitz-TR2; (meme: fair use, if small resolution)

07:46 schestowitz-TR2; there's no legal validity, but I want to know if copyright troll

07:46 schestowitz-TR2; or maybe a conspiracy to troll me

07:46 schestowitz-TR2; they have my full home address, I don't put that in public

07:46 schestowitz-TR2; EPO mafia does have my full home address

07:46 schestowitz-TR2; *in 2021 the judges

07:46 schestowitz-TR2; not 2012 (Typo)

07:46 schestowitz-TR2; also, I'm not in Germany

07:46 schestowitz-TR2; a lawyers might first tellm,e "wtf??"

07:46 schestowitz-TR2; this site is in no way subjected to german law

07:46 schestowitz-TR2; or even eu law

07:47 Techrights-sec; ack

07:49 *DaemonFC has quit (Quit: Leaving)

07:52 schestowitz-TR2; we know epo is desperate to silence us

07:52 schestowitz-TR2; but does not know how

07:52 schestowitz-TR2; we know this

07:53 schestowitz-TR2; from the inside

07:53 schestowitz-TR2; but cannot prove a connection here

07:53 schestowitz-TR2; so must dig deeper

07:53 schestowitz-TR2; maybe "ddiscovery" if they don't hide tracks

07:53 schestowitz-TR2; we're like the only/last site that covers epo corruption

07:53 schestowitz-TR2; so it is strategic to neuter us like they did ip kat

07:53 schestowitz-TR2; maybe they had some leverage/blackmail on jeremy philips

07:53 schestowitz-TR2; who "retired"

07:53 schestowitz-TR2; still actove, just not in the site he founded

07:53 schestowitz-TR2; it wouldn't be "above them" to grease him up with a bribe, subject to some conditions

07:53 schestowitz-TR2; but that's pure speculation

07:53 schestowitz-TR2; thanks for the input, I think I'll ask cxory, glkyn, and mmasnick for their opinion

07:53 schestowitz-TR2; I don't trust eff anymore, they would not help me

07:53 schestowitz-TR2; they also wrote a defensive post 2 days ago

07:53 schestowitz-TR2; on why they DO NOT cover some scandals

07:53 schestowitz-TR2; I've long complained they ignored EPO

07:53 schestowitz-TR2; while writing like 50 posts (!!), mostly by cory, on EU corpyirght

07:53 schestowitz-TR2; strange that patents would interest them so much, except in Europe

07:53 schestowitz-TR2; also: they wrote about patents 2 days ago

07:53 schestowitz-TR2; the "bill" in the US, Tillis

↺ https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2022/08/new-patent-bill-would-open-floodgates-return-terrible-software-and-genetic-patents

07:58 Techrights-sec; The EFF post misunderstands the nature of the patent threats, they are against

07:58 Techrights-sec; /users/ of software and not developers

07:58 -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-www.eff.org | New Bill Would Bring Back Terrible Software and Genetic Patents | Electronic Frontier Foundation

07:59 schestowitz-TR2; half of the days the EFF writes NOTHING

07:59 schestowitz-TR2; even in the blog

07:59 schestowitz-TR2; on average, inc. weekends, maybe one per day

07:59 schestowitz-TR2; in "bursts" (like 2-3 in a single day)

07:59 schestowitz-TR2; consider how many people they employ, you wonder what they do all day in SF

07:59 schestowitz-TR2; it's not like EFF has many ongoing cases or shares PDFs in its site

07:59 schestowitz-TR2; it did lots of that under barlow, in the wake of snoweden leaks, shiva versus mmasnick and whatnot

07:59 schestowitz-TR2; now I guess they write "tweets" and count "likes" or members or sponsors like Mark Cuban


8 AM, August 20

08:00 schestowitz-TR2; Cuban = the REAL clients, the "big bucks"

08:00 schestowitz-TR2; he's their "big buck daddy"

08:00 schestowitz-TR2; that's newCoke EFF does not understand swpats is not an enigma

08:00 schestowitz-TR2; daniel nazer (good) left them for mozilla

08:00 schestowitz-TR2; I used to chat a bit with him, he too was targeted by copyright "trolls"

08:00 schestowitz-TR2; to silence his writings on patents, iirc

08:00 schestowitz-TR2; and there was vera ranieri, joe mullin among others

08:00 schestowitz-TR2; eff brought them aboard to fight trolls and swpats

08:00 schestowitz-TR2; I don't know (or think) they are still there

08:00 schestowitz-TR2; but I read eff's site via kate without seeing author names

08:37 schestowitz-TR2; you need not say the s of f words in the videos to get shaken down by gulag anymore

08:37 schestowitz-TR2; sounds like a "fun" .... 'free' hosting platform

08:54 schestowitz-TR2; ---

08:54 schestowitz-TR2; got a new quick way to make lots of tea with lemon

08:54 schestowitz-TR2; with cooking gloves and some equipment

08:54 schestowitz-TR2; also started turning on some screen when afk to conserve energy and lower bills a bit

08:54 schestowitz-TR2; I think the sooner or learns to live in small budget, the better

08:54 schestowitz-TR2; at the very least getting accustomed to it

08:54 schestowitz-TR2; tea is luxury enough and rianne is not discussing the bday gift... we might just donote to the elepant and call that thew gift

08:54 schestowitz-TR2; I need possible topics to cover, got time, not enough topics

09:09 schestowitz-TR2; arindam (posting in tuxmachines , his own stories, for about 3 yearsd now) wanted an account also

09:09 schestowitz-TR2; I can sort of vouch for him, but knowing file system access he gets

09:09 schestowitz-TR2; I'd be in no hurry yet to make an account for him

09:09 schestowitz-TR2; "cloning" one for him would still mean code changes

09:09 schestowitz-TR2; like the switch statement for unix name and display name

09:09 schestowitz-TR2; but I don't want to deny him access, it would be unfair

09:09 schestowitz-TR2; he's no fan of Microsoft, he is in it for the cause

09:09 schestowitz-TR2; referring to the 7:01am text

09:10 schestowitz-TR2; past experience suggests being conservative with accounts is good

09:10 schestowitz-TR2; as some people just ant an account to spam the site with crap

09:10 schestowitz-TR2; even if they don't do so initially

09:10 schestowitz-TR2; regarding topics, you have highlighted 3

09:10 schestowitz-TR2; I will cover that this weekend, thanks

09:10 schestowitz-TR2; regarding image uploads, atm I do wget in one terminal and then "borrow" the filename for nano (or kate)

09:10 schestowitz-TR2; there is a trick sometimes needed, however, esp. when the file extension is followed by

09:10 schestowitz-TR2; ?some_crap

09:10 schestowitz-TR2; which has sadly become common

09:10 schestowitz-TR2; surveillance on image use

09:10 schestowitz-TR2; this confuses bash and wget

09:10 schestowitz-TR2; and thus complicated explaining to rianne how to do this consistently

09:10 schestowitz-TR2; a long time ago I taught her to always identify and remove the tracking codes from urls, e.g ?utm_someshit

09:10 Techrights-sec; that can be done by the upload script, it can be looked into but has not yet

09:10 Techrights-sec; reached alpha stage. It is merely proof-of-concept atm

09:13 schestowitz-TR2; image upload over the web = can of worms

09:13 schestowitz-TR2; visitors can "upload" objects

09:13 schestowitz-TR2; and sometimes execute some (e.g. php)

09:13 schestowitz-TR2; image upload over cli

09:13 schestowitz-TR2; secured by ssh

09:13 schestowitz-TR2; but then users have very broad range of capabilities

09:13 schestowitz-TR2; like delerte and access files, even of other people

09:14 schestowitz-TR2; hence I'm putting arindam on hold for now

09:14 schestowitz-TR2; he sent me his ssh keys

10:14 Techrights-sec; yes the image upload would need a lot more planning and quite bit spent on

10:14 Techrights-sec; validating and verifying the uploads

10:57 Techrights-sec; checking some sshd options

10:59 schestowitz-TR2; thanks, I've not been glaslighting anyone

10:59 schestowitz-TR2; I just want to slow down the process a bit

10:59 schestowitz-TR2; because what we have running at the moment runs well

10:59 schestowitz-TR2; and images or fourth author are not a priority

10:59 schestowitz-TR2; Only yesterday I turned off remotet drupal backup

10:59 schestowitz-TR2; and put mysql under monitoring for any panics or warnings

10:59 schestowitz-TR2; the next step after that is better understanding how that site is still used

11:13 schestowitz__[TR]; spamnil is going too far with the clickfraud

11:13 schestowitz__[TR]; now it's like 95% spam "clicks"

11:13 schestowitz__[TR]; submitted report:

11:13 schestowitz__[TR]; "

11:13 schestowitz__[TR]; Check your logs. For a number of months Swapnil has been buying fake "views"; about 90-95% of his videos' "views" are fake, paid-for, basically clickfraud.

11:13 schestowitz__[TR]; He relies on you not noticing this so he can sell a scam to guests, based on massively distorted (faked) number of views.

11:13 schestowitz__[TR]; This has to end...

11:15 schestowitz-TR2; editing is good, too

11:15 schestowitz-TR2; they need to edit what they posted if it's wrong

11:15 schestowitz-TR2; very unlikely vandalism of other people's posts will be attempted

11:15 schestowitz-TR2; no incentive to

11:16 Techrights-sec; able update existing posts or just add new ones?

11:16 Techrights-sec; ok

11:26 schestowitz-TR2; rianne and I love that new intro you've put at the top of the front page

11:27 Techrights-sec; np, tesing some stuff now

11:27 Techrights-sec; excellent. it is important to set the tone, however briefly

11:27 schestowitz-TR2; to help market diploma mills

11:27 schestowitz-TR2; after she had already called out LF years ago (money talks)

11:27 schestowitz-TR2; marius never ever covers anything LF

11:27 schestowitz-TR2; he has a smell for shit... like corporate bullshit

11:27 schestowitz-TR2; same for red hat, he rarely covers their "corporate" Linux

11:27 Techrights-sec; great, I hope few are fooled by the LF, but then probably few even think about

11:27 Techrights-sec; the LF

11:27 Techrights-sec; and therein lies a big problem

11:29 schestowitz-TR2; did you see the two quick posts I did on sheela last night?

11:29 schestowitz-TR2; she may have played some role in the assassination of Linux.com

11:31 Techrights-sec; checking

11:33 schestowitz-TR2; we may be dealing with a dynasty of very ambitious frauds and imposters

11:33 schestowitz-TR2; no tech background, btu endless embition

11:33 schestowitz-TR2; reminds me of bully DB

11:33 schestowitz-TR2; I don't have strong enough evidence (yet) of her meddling in LF

11:33 schestowitz-TR2; it's what they call "pillow talk"

11:33 Techrights-sec; neither seem to mention her role in the demise of linux.com

11:33 Techrights-sec; spamnil's full name was missing from the one

11:36 schestowitz-TR2; spamnil is a link

11:36 schestowitz-TR2; people need more than the name but full context

11:36 schestowitz-TR2; "fake it will you make it"/"try to look big" as the mantra

11:36 schestowitz-TR2; at whose expenses?

11:36 schestowitz-TR2; the bakkt bullshit must have cost people at the bottom of this pysramid scheme a LOT of money

11:36 schestowitz-TR2; and us gnu/linux volunteers put in billions worth of "work"

noon, August 20

12:01 schestowitz-TR2; I've tried 2 keys

12:01 schestowitz-TR2; even reloaded sshd

12:01 Techrights-sec; maybe it should default to "new" then rather than require passing that option

12:01 Techrights-sec; manually?

12:03 schestowitz-TR2; I get permission denied no matter what

12:03 schestowitz-TR2; after adding public kets (2 even)

12:03 schestowitz-TR2; 2 keys to the file

12:03 schestowitz-TR2; oh, wait

12:03 schestowitz-TR2; arinDAMN!

12:04 Techrights-sec; no second "n"

12:07 Techrights-sec; checking

12:09 schestowitz-TR2; ok, progress

12:09 schestowitz-TR2; now lines 20 and 23 of tm-ssh-wrappr.pl throw an error

12:09 schestowitz-TR2; off-topic/ignore: yesterday I ran into a very weird issue. konsole in rianne's second machine would not accept utf-8 proper

12:09 schestowitz-TR2; over barrier

12:09 schestowitz-TR2; or even from kate to konsole

12:09 schestowitz-TR2; I tried many things, though I was getting cloe to solving it

12:09 schestowitz-TR2; and thw oddest thing is, I think it used to work fine

12:09 schestowitz-TR2; I gave up after about 20 mins, she can popst OK from her primary PC anyway

12:09 schestowitz-TR2; but having the terminal on another screen can save space/time

12:09 schestowitz-TR2; it just converted advanced symboils into question marks

12:10 Techrights-sec; are you appending the string "new" to the end of the line?

12:13 schestowitz-TR2; now it works

12:13 schestowitz-TR2; I removed "new" while 'debugging' access

12:13 schestowitz-TR2; i wonder what other cms used such an approach to adding newe stories (I'm sure some have, but maybe not public projects)

12:14 Techrights-sec; if you replace "new" with "update" followed by a URL it should allow editing too

13:33 Techrights-sec; (probably tomorrow)

13:33 Techrights-sec; actually, will adjust them for the new layout

13:33 schestowitz-TR2; intrusion detection?

13:39 schestowitz-TR2; fortifying thius server is good

13:39 schestowitz-TR2; assuming it'll go on for years to come and manage lots of new news

13:39 schestowitz-TR2; there will be less out there

13:39 schestowitz-TR2; but we can hunt down what does exist

13:39 schestowitz-TR2; also, gemini makes us more future-proof

13:39 schestowitz-TR2; mqtt too

13:39 schestowitz-TR2; did you see the new zdnet? wtf!!!!

13:39 schestowitz-TR2; i did a post about this

13:40 Techrights-sec; actually, will adjust them for the new layout

13:40 Techrights-sec; yes, they're not part of openrc zoo yet

13:40 Techrights-sec; but they are running manually for now; it is about time to automate

13:40 Techrights-sec; their startu so that they can survive a reboot without intervention

13:40 Techrights-sec; they seem to be doing their job in quieting the logs

13:41 Techrights-sec; They work with NFtables

13:41 Techrights-sec; one can hope

13:41 Techrights-sec; mqtt has a lot of options to explore later too

13:41 Techrights-sec; no I do not follow ZDNet unless there is a reason too

13:41 Techrights-sec; checking

13:41 Techrights-sec; wow, what an ugly layout

13:41 Techrights-sec; at least it is a simpler interface though

13:41 Techrights-sec; checking

13:41 Techrights-sec; gemini.techrights.org/2022/08/19/really-ugly-zdnet/

13:41 Techrights-sec; which other sites have they shut down recently?

13:43 schestowitz-TR2; zdnet au, zdnet uk (just ghosts, like Microsoft's Ars Technica UK... founded by Microsoft, the editor admitted to me)

13:43 schestowitz-TR2; and various other sistser sites whose name I can no longer recall

13:43 schestowitz-TR2; techrepublic becomes MS churnalism and diploma mill

13:43 schestowitz-TR2; they try toi "cash in" before they die, imho

13:44 Techrights-sec; hmm.

13:44 Techrights-sec; I stopped reading ZDNet UK long ago; It was only worth reading for the

13:44 Techrights-sec; occasional Glyn Moody post

13:44 Techrights-sec; I concur

13:45 schestowitz-TR2; you cannot see the screenshot, but you can see annotations when I put them in as text

13:45 schestowitz-TR2; I think the summary states what needs to be stated about the screenshot

13:45 schestowitz-TR2; like I said, there's a www-calypse

13:45 schestowitz-TR2; the media hardly talks about it

13:45 schestowitz-TR2; some thing twitter will 'save them'

13:45 schestowitz-TR2; twitter is floundering too

13:45 schestowitz-TR2; FB=walled garden

13:49 Techrights-sec; CCP's tiktok already has a grip on tne minds of gen Z

13:49 Techrights-sec; culturally they have become foreign to the geographic region where they

13:49 Techrights-sec; are resident

13:49 schestowitz-TR2; in the climate since 2016 there's no way zuckerbag (like sandbag, but she is leaving) can convince china to let him in

13:49 schestowitz-TR2; worse yet, china's tiktok replaces him

13:49 schestowitz-TR2; no matter is he memorises some crap in mandarin to pretend he gives a shit

13:49 schestowitz-TR2; so fb has no plan for a rebound

13:49 schestowitz-TR2; now it loses billions a year on vapourware (metaverse)

13:49 schestowitz-TR2; having already bought whatsapp and FBInstagram, trying to stay relevant like Oracle tried (many layoffs in Oracle ATM)

13:49 schestowitz-TR2; Ellison rubbed Trump's thights for control over tiktok

13:49 schestowitz-TR2; Oracle has nothing to do with social control media, it's just graft

13:52 schestowitz-TR2; maybe next time she should ask for an autograph or take a selfie with him

13:52 schestowitz-TR2; that's add to "popularity" the spamnil way

13:52 schestowitz-TR2; taking photos with people to compensate for a lack of qualification

13:52 schestowitz-TR2; like epo presidents

13:52 Techrights-sec;

13:52 Techrights-sec; yep

13:52 Techrights-sec; selfie :(

13:52 Techrights-sec; mosquitto logs are useless; I wonder if they should be turned off?

13:52 Techrights-sec; and just let mosquitto run without it's crap logging

13:53 schestowitz-TR2; In know little about mqtt except pieter from ffii pioneered a lot there

13:54 schestowitz-TR2; was unhappy about red hat following

13:54 schestowitz-TR2; and then getting software patents on his things

13:54 schestowitz-TR2; we wrote about this

13:54 schestowitz-TR2; he worked on his project until his death

13:55 Techrights-sec;

13:55 Techrights-sec; /var/log/mosquitto/mosquitto.log

13:55 Techrights-sec; It's a very good system, it's just that the logging is setup so as to have

13:55 Techrights-sec; the information spred out over several separate lines in such away as to

13:55 Techrights-sec; prevent them from being connected and thus prevented from being useful or

13:55 Techrights-sec; relevant for much of anything; almost only a waste of space

13:55 Techrights-sec; Hintjens worked on a different protocol, ZeroMQ

13:55 Techrights-sec; that does something quite different even though MQ is in the name

13:58 schestowitz-TR2; shows you how little I know about these

13:58 schestowitz-TR2; I assumed mq was a means to en end

13:58 schestowitz-TR2; and then many implementations with different names of branches

13:59 Techrights-sec; probably ZeroMQ is the better of the two, but it is unfamiliar and lacks

13:59 Techrights-sec; the marketing hype

14:42 schestowitz-TR2; i wanna ask, as it is your site too

14:42 schestowitz-TR2; would putting videos embedded via invidious considered acceptable in TM?

14:42 schestowitz-TR2; just added an article about statis site generators

14:42 schestowitz-TR2; I will try to add a new video, see how that goes in browsers...

14:42 Techrights-sec; not sure, if you think it would add to the site enough to offset the lack

14:42 Techrights-sec; of oversight and control

14:49 schestowitz-TR2; this is only an experiment, so be forewarned

14:49 schestowitz-TR2; I will test in quirerss without js, ff, librewolf, and falkon

14:49 schestowitz-TR2; wowk, works without js i quiterss

14:49 schestowitz-TR2; but autoplays

14:49 schestowitz-TR2; which might be ok, you have to expand the page first

14:49 schestowitz-TR2; can ou take a quick look?

14:51 Techrights-sec; ok

14:54 schestowitz-TR2; in the librewolf browser I need to click to play it

14:54 schestowitz-TR2; I can add ?t=[SEC] tgo skip shite in some videos

15:09 Techrights-sec; ok

15:09 Techrights-sec; ack

15:15 Techrights-sec; It's good to be able to skip right to the key section of the videos.

15:15 Techrights-sec; Too many videos have long intros, or long periods of downright irrelevant

15:15 Techrights-sec; material first.

15:15 schestowitz-TR2; I will record about 3 videos later

15:15 schestowitz-TR2; you reminded me to give a quick overview at the very start

15:15 schestowitz-TR2; and maybe a breakdown of what's coming

15:15 schestowitz-TR2; though they are not scripted

15:16 Techrights-sec; ack

15:16 Techrights-sec; explaining like that helps IMO

15:33 schestowitz-TR2; I think I see a minor bug

15:33 schestowitz-TR2; in gemini, all the latest pages say 18-08 at the top

15:33 schestowitz-TR2; I first noticed this because I was double-checking rss feeds' consistency

15:34 Techrights-sec; ok

15:34 Techrights-sec; checking

15:34 Techrights-sec; yep, well-spotted

15:34 Techrights-sec; looking into the cause

15:34 Techrights-sec; perhaps that date can be taken out completely as the byline makes it redundant

15:35 schestowitz-TR2; totally up to you

15:35 schestowitz-TR2; it would take me a long time to read perl and understand how that date is derived

15:36 Techrights-sec; ?

15:36 Techrights-sec; thanks. simpler is better.

15:36 Techrights-sec; it was a genuine bug, looks like it was left over from a much earlier iteration

15:36 Techrights-sec; of the gemtext function

15:36 Techrights-sec; The creation date is already in the URL /and/ the byline, so a date of

15:36 Techrights-sec; modification would be useful, but that too is in the byline;

15:36 Techrights-sec; tldr; removing it

15:39 schestowitz-TR2; ok, so stale prototype residue

15:39 schestowitz-TR2; Gulg isd already indexing hundreds of pages in that site3~

15:39 schestowitz-TR2; finding old pages would be harder except by following a trail of pages one by one linearly

15:39 schestowitz-TR2; this was also an issue in old tuxmachines

15:39 schestowitz-TR2; even archive pages need a LOT of pagination

15:39 schestowitz-TR2; in wordpress, we have archives per days, too

15:39 schestowitz-TR2; in gemini, TR has monthly listings

15:39 schestowitz-TR2; biab nap

15:40 Techrights-sec; news.tuxmachines.org/n/2022/08/20/Sparky_Linux_Is_Debian_With_Non_GNOME_Desktops.gmi seems empty

15:40 Techrights-sec; ak

15:40 Techrights-sec; ack

15:43 schestowitz-TR2; your browser blocks the iframe

15:43 schestowitz-TR2; or you use http inside an https page

15:43 schestowitz-TR2; they call it escalation/downgrade attack

15:43 schestowitz-TR2; it's a first time for me posting a video in the new site

15:43 schestowitz-TR2; it worked OK in all broiwsers, even quiterss w/ js turned off

15:43 schestowitz-TR2; and auto-played

15:43 schestowitz-TR2; which I thought was neat

15:43 schestowitz-TR2; it's also easy and fast to do this

15:43 schestowitz-TR2; for GOOD videos

15:43 Techrights-sec; ok

15:43 Techrights-sec; was that the test post?

15:43 Techrights-sec; nice

15:43 Techrights-sec; ack

15:43 schestowitz-TR2; nap

15:44 schestowitz-TR2; before I go, will add a url for gemini to not have blank page

15:44 schestowitz-TR2; and for long-term access

15:44 Techrights-sec; thanks!

18:53 schestowitz-TR2; but creative curation means one can cope with what's there

18:53 schestowitz-TR2; now that you made gemini able to pick up inline plain url,

18:53 schestowitz-TR2; I think that if I see a decent video I'll embed again

18:53 Techrights-sec; excellent

18:53 Techrights-sec; I don't expect that the pace of the news will return in the foreseeable future

18:53 Techrights-sec; Ok, but a few lines of text describing why one would want to click on the video

18:53 Techrights-sec; would be important in both the HTTPS and Gemini sites.

18:53 Techrights-sec; yes, he's not been at his best lately

18:54 schestowitz-TR2; I put video summary in the meta part

18:54 schestowitz-TR2; but it would be wide to reproduce the same in the body I suppose

18:54 schestowitz-TR2; I'll think of a way

18:54 schestowitz-TR2; maybe url, then embed, than text

18:54 schestowitz-TR2; *then

18:55 Techrights-sec; the metadata is only in the the HTML. There might be a way to re-use it in

18:55 Techrights-sec; the GemText though.

18:55 schestowitz-TR2; for gemtext/gemini, the front page shows that as summary, but inside the page there's no trace of it left

18:57 schestowitz-TR2; broadie robertson in a nutshell

18:57 schestowitz-TR2; started with good technical video

18:57 schestowitz-TR2; ran out of things to show or show off

18:57 schestowitz-TR2; then started becoming a "news" person mostly parroting GAFAM, Reddit, and other corporate bullshit farms

18:57 schestowitz-TR2; based on what was not censored there

18:57 schestowitz-TR2; and he calls reddit "research"

18:57 schestowitz-TR2; haha

18:58 Techrights-sec; GemText is quite simple and quite flat

18:58 Techrights-sec; There is no document header only the body, that is the whole thing

18:58 Techrights-sec; Yes parroting is rather an unfortunate activity, especially since he has been

18:58 Techrights-sec; embracing their agendas or at least endorsing and defending them

18:58 Techrights-sec; reddit :(

18:59 schestowitz-TR2; remember what zdnet calls it: "SPONSORED NARRATIVE"

18:59 schestowitz-TR2; it's the product they sell

18:59 schestowitz-TR2; in reddit, they call me Ask Me Anything (that the moderators won't just put in the bucket... not so ANYTHING)

18:59 schestowitz-TR2; and various campaigns like they did IE9

18:59 schestowitz-TR2; It's basically a shill site, disguised as hacker... Swartz... counterculture, sticking it to the man

18:59 schestowitz-TR2; while doing AMA with crooks like billG

19:13 Techrights-sec; Swartz had nothing to do with reddit, though the latter capitalizedd on his

19:44 schestowitz-TR2; but I don't know the accounting angle of that

19:44 schestowitz-TR2; putin's mate owned chelsea FC until earlier this year

19:44 schestowitz-TR2; insane what sort of football club ownership we have in europe

19:44 schestowitz-TR2; PSG is also some horrible sheikh

19:46 Techrights-sec; ack

19:46 Techrights-sec; I can't believe that sale was allowed to go through

19:46 Techrights-sec; not much better that one either

19:46 Techrights-sec; :(

19:46 Techrights-sec; If people, on average, spent even 10% of the mental effort on following

19:46 Techrights-sec; ooliticians and their activities that they do on various sports (local and

19:46 Techrights-sec; foreign) then the corruption would probably shrink to a miniscule fraction

19:46 Techrights-sec; of what it is today and the outcomes much better for the citizens of the

19:46 Techrights-sec; various nations

19:46 schestowitz-TR2; techrights did a long series about kongstad, his politial masters, and their masters in KSA

19:46 schestowitz-TR2; so denmark too is controlled by that oil money

19:46 schestowitz-TR2; they pour some monies into local communities via shite like sport

19:46 schestowitz-TR2; and bribe politicians

19:46 schestowitz-TR2; it's good RoT

19:46 schestowitz-TR2; RoI

19:47 Techrights-sec; As least DK had the good sense to choose the acronym DONG for that activity

19:52 schestowitz-TR2; in football, it's "financial doping"

19:52 schestowitz-TR2; you choose some nasty oil-rich nations and exchange PR for some funds

19:52 schestowitz-TR2; they "buy" you "good players"

19:52 schestowitz-TR2; and their abuses become unsprekable

19:52 schestowitz-TR2; in a football stadium, I'd be investigated for holding up a political sign

19:52 schestowitz-TR2; but the murderers are fine

19:52 schestowitz-TR2; they "support the locals" or atheletes

19:52 schestowitz-TR2; now trump is reportedly doing the same with mbs in the golfing scene

19:52 schestowitz-TR2; they also waste a lot of water, not just forestr land, for that stupid activity is hitting a tiny ball rto signal class affiliation

19:52 schestowitz-TR2; here, there can be hosepipe ban

19:52 schestowitz-TR2; but the dubai/aue football club waters their places like there's no tomorrow, to make it all green

19:52 schestowitz-TR2; they do the same in the emirates

19:52 schestowitz-TR2; like golf courses in the middle of the deserts

19:52 schestowitz-TR2; saw it in the book I read while shaving

19:52 schestowitz-TR2; vanity of doing things in imprioper places

19:52 schestowitz-TR2; maybe they also want a whole bunch of polar bears there in dubai malls

19:53 Techrights-sec; yes they waste fossil water

19:53 Techrights-sec; at the current rate of global heating, with the ongoing climate disaster,

19:53 Techrights-sec; the middle east will be physically hotter than will allow human life

19:53 Techrights-sec; it's a no-win situation because without oil THEY HAVE NO ECONOMIC ACTIVITY at all NONE

19:54 schestowitz-TR2; they tried airlines, they boost thos investments through the sportwashing, but afetr covid-19 the travel bubble bmostly imploded

19:54 schestowitz-TR2; I can't see myself flying for quite some time to come

19:54 schestowitz-TR2; too many bad things about it

19:55 Techrights-sec; airlines, as they stand now with current technology, burn lots of petrochemicals

19:55 Techrights-sec; This might turn things around:

↺ https://aip.scitation.org/doi/10.1063/5.0005814

19:55 Techrights-sec; but I can't see the large companies allowing it to happen and certainly none

19:55 Techrights-sec; of the governments are in a position to require investment and development

19:55 -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-aip.scitation.org | Jet propulsion by microwave air plasma in the atmosphere: AIP Advances: Vol 10, No 5

19:55 Techrights-sec; due their component politicians being wholly owned by aforementioned companies

19:57 schestowitz-TR2; checking url

19:57 schestowitz-TR2; published 2+ years ago

19:57 schestowitz-TR2; did it make a splash?

19:57 schestowitz-TR2; I heard nothing of it until today

19:57 schestowitz-TR2; reminds of the "cold fusion" fanatics


8 PM, August 20

20:00 Techrights-sec; then at the time, but probably it and the researchers have been subsequently

20:00 Techrights-sec; shut down, if my cynicism is allowed to predict events

20:00 Techrights-sec; The thrustbeing produced in the lab is already comparable to the thrust made

20:00 Techrights-sec; by burning petrochemicals. It is now a matter of packaging and then after that

20:00 Techrights-sec; the impossible task of getting the airline industry (in its current incarnation)

20:00 Techrights-sec; to mothball its current fleet, even gradually

20:00 Techrights-sec; They'll keep buying old style jets even if the new engines become available

20:00 Techrights-sec; because of the existing fleet and the near worship of the sunk-cost fallacy

20:03 Techrights-sec; cold fusion is a pipe dream but hot fusion keeps getting its funding cut and

20:03 Techrights-sec; reduced; I can't remember all the intrigues and politics but one of the

20:03 Techrights-sec; principals in US fusion died decades ago, unexpectedly and the administration

20:03 Techrights-sec; did to the research what they did to the public schools.

20:03 Techrights-sec; (and keep doing to both)

20:17 Techrights-sec; SCRAM was sci-fi for a long time

20:17 Techrights-sec; maybe it still is but that's a different thing.

20:17 Techrights-sec; there is aslo a lot of experimentation with hydrogen but that has severe

20:17 Techrights-sec; storage difficulties still
