04:21 schestowitz-TR; the servers were restarted/rebooted
04:21 schestowitz-TR; I was not aware of such a thing being planned
04:21 schestowitz-TR; gmnisrv did not automatically start on tm-new
04:21 schestowitz-TR; I had to restart it manually with
04:21 schestowitz-TR; rc-service gmnisrv restart
04:21 schestowitz-TR; do you know how to set that to auto-start?
04:22 schestowitz-TR; the firewall and logs tmux sessions are now gone, too

04:25 Techrights-sec; checking
04:37 Techrights-sec; the tmux sessions were started manually
04:37 Techrights-sec; an open-rc script can be made instead
04:37 Techrights-sec; rc-update add gmnisrv
04:37 Techrights-sec; shoud have done it; mosquitto seemsto have started
04:37 Techrights-sec; The basic firewall (NFT) is active upon reboot
04:37 schestowitz-TR; just chasing other things that now need fixing after the reboot
04:37 schestowitz-TR; brb
04:41 Techrights-sec; why was there a reboot? which package update required the reboot?
04:42 schestowitz-TR; I don't know, but it looks like hv was restarted around 4am here
04:42 schestowitz-TR; at least it gives us a chance to see what needs manual intevention
04:56 schestowitz-TR;
04:56 schestowitz-TR; mystery not solved
04:56 schestowitz-TR; at around 2:50 the bulletin was uploaded
04:56 schestowitz-TR; it went ok to txt
04:56 schestowitz-TR; but not to the persistent URL rather than /txt
04:56 schestowitz-TR; the logs do not show an issue
04:56 schestowitz-TR; but based on irc the file did not get passed
04:56 schestowitz-TR; I've just uploaded it manually
04:56 schestowitz-TR; it was a large file
04:56 schestowitz-TR; but this is the first time it happens
04:56 schestowitz-TR; not related to the reboot
04:56 schestowitz-TR; a long time before that
04:56 schestowitz-TR; ok, after almost an hour I think everything is back in order
04:56 schestowitz-TR; at least these reboots are very rare
04:56 schestowitz-TR; and we did not lose anything in logs etc.
05:03 Techrights-sec; ack
05:11 schestowitz-TR; ok, i think I see further evidence of the upload error
05:11 schestowitz-TR; i will do two manual sanity checks tomorrow morning
05:11 schestowitz-TR; maybe a small network glitch
05:11 schestowitz-TR; and the bulletin being 1.5mb in size makes it more likely to time out
05:11 schestowitz-TR; I'd rather spend an hour checking and checking
05:11 schestowitz-TR; then overlook some issue, as it might happen again
05:11 schestowitz-TR; today i will (again, as usual lately) need some topics to cover
05:11 schestowitz-TR; I find things to put in Daily Links, TM etc.
05:11 schestowitz-TR; but a lot is bland
05:11 schestowitz-TR; like release announcements
05:11 schestowitz-TR; no real analysis of things
07:08 schestowitz-TR; 07:00] <schestowitz> "I was pleasantly surprised when I found out that Dave came up with perfect response to the other blog post"
07:08 schestowitz-TR; [07:00] <schestowitz> the perl link is wrong
07:08 schestowitz-TR; [07:00] <schestowitz> it links to npr
07:08 schestowitz-TR; [07:00] <schestowitz> I cannot find it using Gulag Search
07:08 Techrights-sec; checking
07:08 Techrights-sec; fixed
07:08 schestowitz-TR; can you paste the url here?
07:08 schestowitz-TR; just the url? i need it for a cluster about raku
07:13 Techrights-sec; By the way, what caused the reboot? I missed the advanced notice?
07:14 schestowitz-TR; there was no notice
07:14 schestowitz-TR; good thing I woke up just before that happened and was able to respond
07:18 Techrights-sec; Then what might have been the cause?
07:18 schestowitz-TR; I'd rather not ask as it is rare and I don't want to bother kaniini
07:28 Techrights-sec; The hv logs have the same problem as the other Alpine logs, that the
07:28 Techrights-sec; authorization was piled into the main logs and then bury any relevant
07:28 Techrights-sec; information.
07:29 schestowitz-TR; after the reboot I noticed that ergoirc scrollback/history does not go further back then the reboot
07:29 schestowitz-TR; *than
07:34 schestowitz-TR; sooner or later a reboot will happen
07:34 schestowitz-TR; currently it runs the kernel it booted into
07:34 schestowitz-TR; if we encounter issues, we can reboot again
07:34 schestowitz-TR; so far no issues seen/felt
07:34 schestowitz-TR; brb too many things going on at once
07:34 schestowitz-TR; and I am on shift

08:11 schestowitz-TR; one more hour, then I am free for 2 days
08:11 schestowitz-TR; I am prioritising TM links at the moment, then Daily Links
08:11 schestowitz-TR; speed matters
08:11 schestowitz-TR; epo admin council meeting coming soon
08:11 schestowitz-TR; for maximal impact the series needs to be timed correctly
08:11 schestowitz-TR; i have tons of github material
08:11 schestowitz-TR; it does not feel like enough sites speak about the issues with github
08:11 schestowitz-TR; some kernel hackers contact me
08:12 schestowitz-TR; they know github is an attack on git
08:12 schestowitz-TR; some people complain about LF too
08:12 schestowitz-TR; but not openly
08:12 schestowitz-TR; you have just uploaded other-links for 21-09 by accident
08:20 Techrights-sec; ok
08:22 schestowitz-TR; I am going to revise my workflow to improve efficiency
08:22 schestowitz-TR; I need to identify what routine tasks I do that can either be dropped or automated
08:36 Techrights-sec; The "CoC" prevents them from publicly criticizing M$ and by extension M$ GitHub
08:36 schestowitz-TR; that's "hate"
08:36 schestowitz-TR; and hate leads to violence
08:38 Techrights-sec; "words" are "violence" || words "are" violence
08:38 Techrights-sec; according that mob
08:38 Techrights-sec; wars are big business, which is why acusations of "hate" are *very* selectively
08:38 Techrights-sec; applied
08:39 schestowitz-TR; wars are business
08:39 schestowitz-TR; better not interfere

08:39 schestowitz-TR; tso: iraq war bush yada yada rape stastics

08:39 Techrights-sec; Note that JKRowling was punching hard in politics right before she got
08:39 Techrights-sec; brigaded by the misogynists
08:41 schestowitz-TR; from what I have reading, writing about that other topic was the fruits of provocation
08:41 schestowitz-TR; basically steering the target into the trap
08:41 schestowitz-TR; like interjecting that stuff into IRC channels
08:41 schestowitz-TR; self-fulfilling prophecy
08:41 schestowitz-TR; as someone will say something

08:41 Techrights-sec; https://www.csmonitor.com/World/Europe/2009/0213/p05s01-woeu.html

08:41 -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-Dutch still wincing at Bush-era 'Invasion of The Hague Act' - CSMonitor.com
08:43 schestowitz-TR; somehow all the chiefs in linux kernel (original people) are extremely "rude"
08:43 schestowitz-TR; and the same goes for everyone ever involved in wikileaks
08:43 schestowitz-TR; or...
08:43 schestowitz-TR; maybe the narrative shift is at fault
08:43 schestowitz-TR; CEOs of companies that attack Linux have said and done far worse

08:45 schestowitz-TR; buddy of bill gates
08:45 schestowitz-TR; just like jeff epstein
08:45 schestowitz-TR; not a word from the brigades
08:45 schestowitz-TR; ryan the poor man from IL is far more relevant to the bigger picture than billg is
08:45 Techrights-sec; ack
08:47 schestowitz-TR; the irc log from yesterday was long, full of typos, even trolling
08:47 schestowitz-TR; but in between there was some relevant material as well
08:47 schestowitz-TR; I wonder if the bulletin being 1.5 mb touched some threshold, which is why one file did not get uploaded
08:47 schestowitz-TR; this is 100% not related to the downtime
08:47 schestowitz-TR; but my nroutine checks caught the problem
08:47 schestowitz-TR; so now I lack confidence in the process until some further sanity checks
08:47 schestowitz-TR; with today's IRC logs I'll double check files' presense also
08:48 Techrights-sec; ack
09:13 schestowitz-TR; free from work now
09:13 schestowitz-TR; so less pressure/stress
09:13 schestowitz-TR; in case someone fiddles with with short tempers
09:21 Techrights-sec; ack
09:22 schestowitz-TR; priority #1: relay and organise news, and fast
09:22 schestowitz-TR; priority z (last): respond to people who try to interfere with #1
09:22 schestowitz-TR; (one needs to properly understand the issues to do it sensibly, not like a bot/drone/LF shill)
09:25 Techrights-sec; ack
09:25 schestowitz-TR; the occasional editorial comments and editorial picks (omissions of falsehoods) can help a lot
09:25 schestowitz-TR; even if now drawning many replies
09:25 schestowitz-TR; itsfoss is run by one or two clueless people with a nose for money
09:25 schestowitz-TR; rianne keeps complaining about them more than I do
09:25 Techrights-sec; clueless on purpose or by accident
09:25 Techrights-sec; ?
09:28 schestowitz-TR; some people, when faced with prospect of a quick buck, can deceive themselves
09:28 schestowitz-TR; and that cannot be easily distinguished from dishonesty
09:28 schestowitz-TR; for a few weeks christine did a trivia experiment at fossforce
09:28 schestowitz-TR; seems to have stopped
09:28 schestowitz-TR; not sure what to do with that domain
09:28 schestowitz-TR; for a few years it was 'on loan' to bbyfield
09:28 schestowitz-TR; of course he mostly attacked the FS movement
09:28 schestowitz-TR; concern-trolling it
09:28 schestowitz-TR; now that site is donning endorsements for LF
09:29 schestowitz-TR; for diploma mills
09:29 schestowitz-TR; just years after christine blasted LF
09:29 schestowitz-TR; LF has only gotten more sinister since then
09:29 schestowitz-TR; spamnil, sjvn and chums know where the $ is
09:29 schestowitz-TR; you can even get paid for videos that get just 10 views
09:29 schestowitz-TR; then spend the money buying clickfraud
09:30 Techrights-sec; ack
09:30 Techrights-sec; so. clueless on purpose, it would seem
09:33 schestowitz-TR; saying this out in the open makes oneself more enemies than necessary
09:33 schestowitz-TR; but for informal irc discussion I think it's OK
09:33 schestowitz-TR; christine was hurt by some things figosdev wrote
09:34 schestowitz-TR; (in the site)
09:34 schestowitz-TR; re clueless on purpose
09:34 schestowitz-TR; that's a comedy-centric term
09:34 schestowitz-TR; it is contradictoty within its own contaxt
09:34 schestowitz-TR; because if you do it on purpose you are not clueless
09:34 schestowitz-TR; itsfoss is mostly 2 people
09:34 schestowitz-TR; I know them, they asked me for TM account
09:34 schestowitz-TR; they don't live in a rich country
09:34 schestowitz-TR; and they have some guest writers
09:34 schestowitz-TR; I don't want to hurt them
09:34 schestowitz-TR; btw, mjg, who reads this (in irc)
09:34 schestowitz-TR; is a clever person
09:34 schestowitz-TR; well educated
09:34 schestowitz-TR; he too knows that he's full of BS sometimes
09:34 schestowitz-TR; but he is buoyed by $
09:34 schestowitz-TR; maybe one day he'll relent
09:34 Techrights-sec; well-educated at least but short on judgement
09:34 Techrights-sec; or recant
09:34 Techrights-sec; or repent
09:34 Techrights-sec; but first when the money runs out he'll relent
09:36 schestowitz-TR; when people become insecure due to lack of sometthing
09:36 schestowitz-TR; they fall back on or compensate with $
09:36 schestowitz-TR; "look how much I made"
09:36 schestowitz-TR; I can guess what was lacking
09:36 schestowitz-TR; but guessing is not good when you're assessed on accuracy
09:36 schestowitz-TR; so I keep speculation to myself
09:36 schestowitz-TR; it's the same with Graveley
09:36 schestowitz-TR; a weirdo, a freak, a mental case
09:36 schestowitz-TR; even de icaza acknowledged as such
09:36 Techrights-sec; ack
09:39 schestowitz-TR; microsoft is prince andrew
09:39 schestowitz-TR; I am the guy who shouters from the crowd
09:39 schestowitz-TR; mjg is the cop
09:39 schestowitz-TR; doing the dirty work for andrew
09:39 schestowitz-TR; by arresting the person who calls him out
09:39 schestowitz-TR; (I assume you saw the videos by now)
09:46 Techrights-sec; nope but I have read about cops roughing up anyone in the crowd there who
09:46 Techrights-sec; has spoken up about "no kings" or similar
09:46 Techrights-sec; Too bad much of the press and most of the politicians are fed by MBS' own
09:46 Techrights-sec; Twitter Inc which modifies the discourse by boosting or suppressing specific
09:46 Techrights-sec; tags or catchphrases.

09:46 -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-yewtu.be | Man Calls Prince Andrew 'Sick Old Man' During Royal Procession - Invidious
09:49 schestowitz-TR; you can be sure cops anmd spies will dig up any dirt gchq can find on him
09:49 schestowitz-TR; to shiuft the narrative
09:49 schestowitz-TR; and maybe justify the treatment he received
09:49 schestowitz-TR; distracting from the treatment "Andrew" gave women
09:49 schestowitz-TR; inc. exes
09:49 schestowitz-TR; like the man who films the mureder of eric garner
09:49 schestowitz-TR; and was later arrested
09:49 schestowitz-TR; then died
09:49 schestowitz-TR; like the daughter of eric garner
09:49 schestowitz-TR; "well, he's dead"
09:49 Techrights-sec; ack
09:49 Techrights-sec; The cops suppress criticism because it could lead to criticism of Bill
09:49 Techrights-sec; yep
09:50 schestowitz-TR; crticism is "hate
09:50 schestowitz-TR; if you go to a football game and hold up a sign against Newcastle United being owned by a terror family
09:50 schestowitz-TR; they will detain you, not the saudis
09:50 schestowitz-TR; and this is how the terms of in the laws (not just "hate") are misused
09:51 schestowitz-TR; [19:37] <techrights-news> Today a young Brit will face a royal CoC (Code of Conduct). "Andrew" the 'prince' can screw girls, but you only face charges for shouting at "Andrew" the 'prince' for screwing girls...
09:51 schestowitz-TR; [19:39] <techrights-news> In a similar vein, in FOSS/tech the CoC is protecting vulnerable minorities such as Google and Microsoft... from people who 'HECKLE' them over their war crimes, corruption etc.
09:56 schestowitz-TR; erica garner died from bad health
09:56 schestowitz-TR; ntohign to indicate otherwise
09:56 schestowitz-TR; obese, too
09:56 schestowitz-TR; but...
09:57 schestowitz-TR; she had become a MASSIVE liaibility to cops and the left left
09:57 schestowitz-TR; she responded to leaks about Clinton
09:57 schestowitz-TR; and had MASSIVE following online
09:57 schestowitz-TR; condemned cops and the system regaulardly
09:57 schestowitz-TR; so her death was not only tragic (she was young)
09:57 schestowitz-TR; also an epic loss
09:57 schestowitz-TR; she would blast HRC for her racism
09:57 schestowitz-TR; based on leaks
09:57 schestowitz-TR; democracynow had her on many times, iirc
09:57 schestowitz-TR; she was young
09:57 schestowitz-TR; amy goodman and others are old
09:57 schestowitz-TR; like chomsky, the state can just wait patiently for them to die naturally
09:57 schestowitz-TR; assange was "too young"
09:57 schestowitz-TR; his father is still very active and in high spirits
09:57 schestowitz-TR; assange is also widely recognise
09:57 schestowitz-TR; like some harry potter author
09:57 schestowitz-TR; so there are hounds taking down their images
09:57 schestowitz-TR; even tearing down recognition symbolc
09:57 schestowitz-TR; like murals, medals, statues, faculties, articles
09:57 schestowitz-TR; wikipedia is one form of sabotage
09:57 schestowitz-TR; I've mostly stopped linking to wikipedia if I can avoid it
09:58 mjg59_; tbf assange is a rapist
09:58 mjg59_; So criticism there is pretty justifiable
10:00 Techrights-sec; Wikipedia is mostly just corporate marketeering and paid squatters
10:00 schestowitz-TR; I saw people wasting a lot of time trying to correct it
10:00 schestowitz-TR; it's pointless
10:01 schestowitz-TR; or trying to correct corrupt publishers
10:01 schestowitz-TR; it's like trying to draw blood from a rock
10:01 schestowitz-TR; it might yield something at the end
10:01 schestowitz-TR; but low return on effort
10:01 schestowitz-TR; same with trying to persuade "the media" to cover EPO crimes
10:11 schestowitz-TR; this is a type Z priority
10:11 schestowitz-TR; distracts from priority #1
10:11 schestowitz-TR; maybe that's its goal
10:11 schestowitz-TR; wearing off mentally
10:13 schestowitz-TR; I could use some timely topics to cover
10:13 schestowitz-TR; i thought of aq few yesterday
10:13 schestowitz-TR; but changed my mind
10:13 schestowitz-TR; like sfc
10:13 schestowitz-TR; it's not too clear what goes on behind the scenes
10:13 schestowitz-TR; based on the message from zoe kooyman, they are fighting over stewardship
10:13 schestowitz-TR; iow, sfc wants to outgrow FSF and take over its revenue sources
10:13 schestowitz-TR; i.e. similar to what fsfe SANS Georg Greve is trying to do
10:15 Techrights-sec; The topic of libel?
10:15 Techrights-sec; Check the recent video from Nick regarding the abuse of control over browser

10:17 schestowitz-TR; I liked to Nick's video twice
10:17 schestowitz-TR; from two sources
10:17 schestowitz-TR; you know which 2
10:17 schestowitz-TR; I am not too sympathetic to nick himself as his videos are littered with ads
10:17 schestowitz-TR; and he even does fake reviews and gift-shilling
10:17 schestowitz-TR; which is why youtube took action against him (again, selectively; gulag doesn't like real linux)
10:17 schestowitz-TR; *linked to
10:17 schestowitz-TR; there are already written articles on this topic
10:17 schestowitz-TR; I did not watch nick's video
10:17 schestowitz-TR; so it would not cover something truly new
10:17 schestowitz-TR; gulag needs to be eradicated
10:17 schestowitz-TR; but less urgently than Microsoft
10:17 schestowitz-TR; but it's not a serial task
10:17 schestowitz-TR; you can do both at the same time if more people join in and make a wave of negative publiciyy

10:19 Techrights-sec; Yes, the shilling is a barrier but he provides timestamps to hop over easily
10:19 Techrights-sec; enough
10:19 Techrights-sec; M$ has been able to agitate politicians and, to a lessr extent, the public
10:19 Techrights-sec; against Google / Alphabet. The attention is well-earned but due to very
10:19 Techrights-sec; restricted resources, that takes the political and legal heat entirely off of
10:19 Techrights-sec; m$ in regards to scrutiny over anti-competitive practices and monopoly abuse.
10:22 schestowitz-TR; you said nick isolates the ad parts
10:22 schestowitz-TR; not sure if this is noticed, but when i use invidious in TM I add the ?t=[marker] to help people skip past the cruft if possible
10:22 schestowitz-TR; i think it also makes the videos a little more accessible
10:22 schestowitz-TR; if I need to make the videos more narrow by default, that can easily be done
10:22 schestowitz-TR; I don't think I can specify width in %
10:22 schestowitz-TR; not for those kids of elements
10:22 schestowitz-TR; i think it's iframe
10:22 schestowitz-TR; with a canvas for <video>
10:22 schestowitz-TR; i think the hard part is adjusting height, based on aspect ratio
10:22 schestowitz-TR; there must be a way
10:22 schestowitz-TR; but I am not sure
10:29 schestowitz-TR; looking into it
10:29 schestowitz-TR; may take time, as I need to find video and then test in many settings/browsers
10:29 schestowitz-TR; another issue is, iframe width might be specified for whole page/browser of just one div
10:29 schestowitz-TR; and different clients may handle it differentlyt
10:29 schestowitz-TR; additional issue: if the browser is rescaled, can the video too be rescaled on the fly?
10:29 schestowitz-TR; don't know how different formats do this
10:29 schestowitz-TR; noody knows if proprioetary format with intentional complexcity for more swpats
10:29 schestowitz-TR; but experience suggests that with videos, they specify fixed pixel scale
10:29 schestowitz-TR; and then just stick with it
10:29 schestowitz-TR; nothing 'fluid'
10:32 schestowitz-TR; to avoid making a mess in vivo at TM I will do some tests in schestowitz.com/Weblgo in vitro
10:32 schestowitz-TR; bbiab
10:41 schestowitz-TR; OK, seems like the issue is, iframe cannot have height specified in %
10:41 schestowitz-TR; at least not in librewolf (gecko)
10:41 schestowitz-TR; that's why it's sensible to specify absolute size for video dimensions
10:41 Techrights-sec; Is there a way to avoid iframes ?
10:42 schestowitz-TR; no, not with indivious
10:42 Techrights-sec; :(
10:42 schestowitz-TR; no matter which invidious instance is used
10:53 schestowitz-TR; testing some css changes to iframe
10:53 schestowitz-TR; see what I wrote last night after checking the stats on diaspora and fedivrse
10:53 schestowitz-TR; I did not check peertube and others
10:53 schestowitz-TR; it's going down anyway
10:53 schestowitz-TR; if you mimic shit you go down with the S.H.I.T. boat
10:53 schestowitz-TR; TM is still very light and fast
10:53 schestowitz-TR; I've not make css changes yet
10:53 schestowitz-TR; I test locally
10:53 Techrights-sec; The Freedom-oriented services emulate the anti-user maneuvers of the others.
10:53 Techrights-sec; Notice that usability is out and even Free software is becoming oriented
10:53 Techrights-sec; towards 'engagement' also known as inefficiency and time-wasting.
10:53 Techrights-sec; checking
10:53 Techrights-sec; which title from last night?
10:54 schestowitz-TR; it was in irc, circa 9pm
10:54 schestowitz-TR; I thought about doing an article
10:54 schestowitz-TR; and said it would be like "bashing" FOSS alternatives
10:54 schestowitz-TR; so didn't take screenshots
10:56 Techrights-sec; gemini.techrights.org/2022/09/19/sfc-salaries/ ?
10:58 schestowitz-TR; this reminds me today's task is to identify what condumes time
10:58 schestowitz-TR; and cut that off or automate
10:58 schestowitz-TR; so I can write more and longer posts
10:58 schestowitz-TR; btw, as I page through TM I see it's like turning the page of a book
10:58 schestowitz-TR; very fast
10:58 schestowitz-TR; even on low bw connection
10:58 schestowitz-TR; as there is very little to load both at the front and back end
10:58 schestowitz-TR; it's a nifty design that's akin to newspaper
10:58 schestowitz-TR; no infitine scroll with JS
10:58 schestowitz-TR; I was lookng for videos
10:59 Techrights-sec; Nice. The speed is another benefit.
10:59 Techrights-sec; Another disadvantage from our perspective, but advantage from the other camp,
10:59 Techrights-sec; for infinite scroll is the inability bookmark or even re-find material.
10:59 Techrights-sec; There are a lot of interests with money which wish for the ability to cite
10:59 Techrights-sec; material to be eliminate, from what I observe.
11:01 schestowitz-TR; I'[ve long argued, in public maybe a dozen times, that social control media has the shelf life of a pieced apple
11:01 schestowitz-TR; within an hour it's already "old"
11:01 schestowitz-TR; within a day it's as good as "Deleted"
11:01 schestowitz-TR; nobody will ever find or read or share it
11:01 schestowitz-TR; even when you know what you are searching for it's something you're under-utilised to do
11:01 schestowitz-TR; or ill-equipped rather
11:04 Techrights-sec; I concur with that assessment
11:04 Techrights-sec; Another topic could be related to the infliction of Rust on the Kernel.
11:04 Techrights-sec; There are logistical problems with having two languages. There is also
11:04 Techrights-sec; the out-of-project control the CoC-suckers have over the technical side.
11:04 Techrights-sec; There is the problem of M$ GitHub on top of all that. Some of the project
11:04 Techrights-sec; pages have not been updated this year.
11:06 schestowitz-TR; ah, yes, that's a good topic
11:06 schestowitz-TR; I will think over it with coffee, breaks etc.
11:06 schestowitz-TR; like things that can be said
11:06 schestowitz-TR; and then record
11:06 schestowitz-TR; sjvn shilled with LF
11:06 schestowitz-TR; and then they cogratulate LT for his concession
11:06 schestowitz-TR; stockholm syndrome imho
11:06 schestowitz-TR; rust itself is having SEVERAL crises
11:06 schestowitz-TR; I mentioned some in IRC
11:07 schestowitz-TR; last night I noted that Servo (Bakersoft) being outsourced to LF was its death knell
11:07 schestowitz-TR; no blog post sicne 2 years ago
11:07 schestowitz-TR; LF became a dead project's shelf
11:07 schestowitz-TR; ("oh, but we also "support" Linux")
11:07 schestowitz-TR; "would you like your dead-end project to borrow the lively brand?"
11:07 schestowitz-TR; ethereum founder: my shitcoin will be "linux" by 2040
11:08 Techrights-sec;
11:08 Techrights-sec; Like other things, there are interests that have wanted to kill off the
11:08 Techrights-sec; umbrella organization which has sheltered and paid the top Kernel people.
11:08 Techrights-sec; Weakening the brand and running the image aground are tactics to make people
11:08 Techrights-sec; tire of the trademark and not defend the project. Linus is losing the
11:08 Techrights-sec; window of opportunity to take his trademark and walk. He already looks older
11:08 Techrights-sec; than his dad.
11:10 schestowitz-TR; wait, you realise they already signalled to him they can caharcater-aassasinate him
11:10 schestowitz-TR; in and with "the media"
11:10 schestowitz-TR; people don't forget such stuff, it slows down time
11:10 schestowitz-TR; linus: i adopt rust because I got all rusty from the trolls
11:10 schestowitz-TR; and maybe if I adopt this pile of shit that ITS OWN PEOPLE FLEE FROM (!)
11:10 schestowitz-TR; which has security issues (again this week) it'll make linux 'secure' and calm down
11:10 schestowitz-TR; the corporate trolls
11:10 schestowitz-TR; Rust was funded and shills by Gulag
11:10 schestowitz-TR; via front groups disguised as "security" soemthing
11:10 schestowitz-TR; I forgot their name
11:10 schestowitz-TR; and you can see who pays the salary of the relevant kernel people
11:11 schestowitz-TR; google.com
11:11 schestowitz-TR; @
11:11 schestowitz-TR; this is the company that worked hard to replace linux, in vain
11:11 schestowitz-TR; due to gpl
11:11 schestowitz-TR; among other factors
11:12 Techrights-sec; That might have been what they held over his head to inflict Rust on the Kernel.
11:12 Techrights-sec; Even just the logistical nightmare of having a second language increases
11:12 Techrights-sec; the complexity of managing the project and of the code base itself.
11:12 Techrights-sec; Complexity is the opposite of security.
11:12 schestowitz-TR; rust will get orphaned
11:12 schestowitz-TR; like servo and gecko in the future
11:12 schestowitz-TR; servo already seems dead
11:12 schestowitz-TR; then what?
11:12 schestowitz-TR; linus made git because of a similar scenario of "orphaning"
11:12 schestowitz-TR; you need to become a maintainer for that upon which you became reliable
11:12 schestowitz-TR; *reliant
11:16 Techrights-sec; ack
11:17 schestowitz-TR; thanks, this discussion will help me when (or if) recordign later
11:17 schestowitz-TR; i saw not a single article (!!) sceptical let alone critical of this
11:17 schestowitz-TR; this is when journalism becomes PR/cheerleading for sponsors
11:17 schestowitz-TR; I remember IDG employed some very tewchnical journos
11:17 schestowitz-TR; I spoke to some of them
11:17 schestowitz-TR; they were analytical
11:17 schestowitz-TR; not like simon bisson and other microsoft drones

12:05 schestowitz-TR; the changes apply 'retroactively' to all prior-posted videos
12:05 schestowitz-TR; tested in falkon and librewolf, will test in quiterss now
12:09 Techrights-sec; The EFF's media platform choice (or lack thereof) is also a good topic.

12:52 Techrights-sec; I would go as far as to say that nearly 100% of the public cannot and does not

12:52 Techrights-sec; ^ another topic which needs frequent revisiting as the confusion allows
12:52 Techrights-sec; capture of markets and services and prevents commoditization
12:52 Techrights-sec; In the case where something was a commodity (e.g. e-mail) that confusion
12:52 Techrights-sec; allows M$, Google, etc to take it over and lock people and standard technologies
12:52 Techrights-sec; out.
12:52 Techrights-sec; For example:

12:53 schestowitz-TR; google reader and feedburner failed to gives a monopoly over attention and eyes
12:53 schestowitz-TR; the local art gallery uses a gmail account, not email
12:53 schestowitz-TR; I noticed it days ago
12:53 schestowitz-TR; they want a foreign nation to scam all the comms
13:01 schestowitz-TR; fb and gulag wages on "attack" or "war on URLS"
13:01 schestowitz-TR; so people scroll down throuigh a ton of nonsense and clickbait to find things
13:01 schestowitz-TR; instea
13:01 schestowitz-TR; if going directly to the stuff of interest
13:01 schestowitz-TR; rss was phased out of gulag/moz software
13:01 schestowitz-TR; even thoiugh it was a step forward
13:01 Techrights-sec; Yes, there is a move to hide the URLs, starting with the addresses / host names
13:01 schestowitz-TR; it moreover makes sense when the real clients are advertiosers and toyu want to help them FIND

18:04 Techrights-sec; When the dot at the start of the file name happens again can you please provide
18:04 Techrights-sec; the URL? That will make it easier to debug.
18:04 Techrights-sec; Checking
18:04 Techrights-sec; URL will be needed for that but I have a vague guess.
18:14 Techrights-sec; Thanks. Most of that scrolled past, can you do just the URL? I see where
18:14 Techrights-sec; the problem is but would need the URL for testing and it may take a bit
18:14 Techrights-sec; to fix if the file name is wonky.
18:14 Techrights-sec; if the URL is "https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29..." then
18:14 Techrights-sec; the problem is because of spaces in the file name. The work-around is to always enclose the URL in quotes, either single quotes or double quotes.
18:14 -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell- ( status 404 @ https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29 )
18:19 Techrights-sec; Otherwise, the "error" occurs in the shell before the script even starts as
18:19 Techrights-sec; the URL gets truncated then. The script could check for the presence of more
18:19 Techrights-sec; than a single argument and fail in the case there are two or more. That might
18:19 Techrights-sec; be an approach.
18:21 schestowitz-TR; it usually happens when there are quotes as well
18:21 schestowitz-TR; but I never looked very closely
18:21 schestowitz-TR; as at the end it did make a copy and reizsize it
