beginning of new day, December 21

00:03 techrightssec2; more tm gallery tests tomorrow

00:03 techrightssec2; there may be some routing problems between here and tm for now

00:03 techrightssec2; afk

00:03 techrightssec2; It just occurs to me now that the primitive IDS will need reworking because

00:03 techrightssec2; of the strings in the gallery URLs, too.

00:03 techrightssec2; afk

04:19 schestowitz-TR; i had to log in there for the first time in weeks ;-)

04:20 schestowitz-TR; I also accessed back end of tm-new while at it

04:20 schestowitz-TR; for reasons now known to me this december we get far more traffic than in prior months

04:20 schestowitz-TR; cool!

04:20 schestowitz-TR; /now/not/

8 AM, December 21

08:26 techrightssec2; Increasingly culture is locked up in proprietary platforms and formats, when

08:26 techrightssec2; it used to be freely available.

08:26 schestowitz-TR; works ok in falkon

08:27 techrightssec2; There were a lot of articles over a month ago about Saudi and Qatari control

08:27 techrightssec2; of Twitter through their ownership of the platform. Nothing has come of those

08:27 techrightssec2; articles despite some minor statements from a handful of politicians.

08:27 techrightssec2; ^ topic ? x2

08:29 schestowitz-TR; qatar too?

08:29 schestowitz-TR; someone in irc mentioned it

08:29 schestowitz-TR; anyway, maybe causing it to evalorate would be ther goal

08:29 schestowitz-TR; who knows...


9 AM, December 21

09:01 techrightssec2; Yes apparently Qatar, too, and there are likely other smaller similar investors

09:01 techrightssec2; which contribute to the controlling block. It's been severely overlooked in

09:01 techrightssec2; favor of giving free marketing to Musk as he distracts from what Twitter is

09:01 techrightssec2; what Twitter is for and who actually controls it.

09:09 schestowitz-TR; ksa has lkong been involved

09:09 schestowitz-TR; but many more hands were involved

09:09 schestowitz-TR; inc. some govs

09:09 schestowitz-TR; so it would be a leap to say qatar and ksa were the main controllers

09:09 schestowitz-TR; and that musk was a fall man

09:09 schestowitz-TR; biab exercise

09:24 techrightssec2; The increase traffic seems to be mostly people and not so much bots. Just

09:24 techrightssec2; skimming through the timing suggests that it is checked and many of the

09:24 techrightssec2; articles read.


10 AM, December 21

10:30 schestowitz-TR; just got a card ! ;-)

10:30 schestowitz-TR; it's very nice, I will read it twice more later

10:30 schestowitz-TR; maybe while the 'kettle' (pot) is on

10:30 schestowitz-TR; mirgarating the sites is easier with extra time at my disposal

10:30 schestowitz-TR; i also started blogging a lot more at mine

10:30 schestowitz-TR; more so after abandoning social control media

10:30 schestowitz-TR; it was maybe NOT a waste of time when it peaked around 2015

10:30 schestowitz-TR; now it's just rapidly collasing

10:30 schestowitz-TR; so cost benefit analysis says, quit it, the sooner, the better

10:31 techrightssec2; :)

10:31 schestowitz-TR; going through links atm

10:31 schestowitz-TR; made about 9 more memes, which can be seen as uploaded (for later)

11:12 schestowitz-TR; oh, it is GOOD news that PCMag ceases publication

11:12 schestowitz-TR; consider the ***** they were publishing all these years

11:12 schestowitz-TR; i need to think how we can best promote mumble

11:12 schestowitz-TR; it's a must-have for some businesses and homes

11:12 schestowitz-TR; but not much 'brand recognition'

11:12 schestowitz-TR; the current series may run til late january

11:12 schestowitz-TR; but I'm starting to settle and become more productive

15:16 schestowitz-TR; wait till they find out carrying these devices around can be harmful to the "carrier" even outside the battlefiel

15:17 schestowitz-TR; d

15:19 techrightssec2; There are so many things which can be done, and are done, to units with a fool

15:19 techrightssec2; carrying such a tracking beacon. It's not a whole lot different in regular

15:19 techrightssec2; society either, except for reduced probability of artilery strikes or air strikes.

15:20 schestowitz-TR; loose spyphone sink ships


4 PM, December 21

16:11 schestowitz-TR; those are sometimes weaponised for censorship or at least slapp and, failing that, baseless thretas

16:11 schestowitz-TR; self-censorship

16:11 schestowitz-TR; vis-a-vis, baseless threat... I've postponed release of the copyright troll material until maybe easter

16:11 schestowitz-TR; when they lose track of their plot

16:20 techrightssec2; Copyright is mostly about censorship or at least political control these days

16:20 techrightssec2; Note the constant abuse of the DMCA for the last 20 years

16:22 schestowitz-TR; copyright is a system for RESTRICTING distribution

16:22 schestowitz-TR; a framework of impediment, not sharing

16:22 schestowitz-TR; copyleft is a trick

16:22 schestowitz-TR; so what will be restricted?

16:22 schestowitz-TR; whatever states and lawyers mess with

16:22 schestowitz-TR; so money determines what info/data can pass

16:22 schestowitz-TR; to keep the 'peasants' down

16:22 schestowitz-TR; in spite of their vast (relative) numbers
