09:42 schestowitz-TR; quick note to self:
09:42 schestowitz-TR; one upside of working on documents over the nwtwork is,
09:42 schestowitz-TR; you effectively keep two copies
09:42 schestowitz-TR; as in the case of kate,
09:42 schestowitz-TR; if the remote copy/server has issues, I can save locally
09:42 schestowitz-TR; and if there is damage locally
09:42 schestowitz-TR; the copy is remote anyway
09:42 schestowitz-TR; so in effect I already have a two-side redundancy for important documents and working
09:42 schestowitz-TR; files, which is what I did this morning
09:42 schestowitz-TR; the main pain will be thunbderbird

11:04 schestowitz-TR; working my way through 5 epo docs
11:04 schestowitz-TR; how important do you think it is to throw news picks into the social irc channel?
11:04 schestowitz-TR; I still do it on occasions, but daily links matter a lot more
11:04 schestowitz-TR; so I've shaved off a lot of time that way

11:23 Techrights-sec; ack
11:23 Techrights-sec; It depends on the topic of the links themselves. Maybe some should go there
11:23 Techrights-sec; on occasion.
11:23 Techrights-sec; It is important to keep -social active so as to be able to keep the main
11:23 Techrights-sec; channel on topic
11:23 schestowitz-TR; the main channel has been a lotr more active lately
11:23 schestowitz-TR; so oftentimes I don't keep an eye on it, except layer in passing
11:23 schestowitz-TR; *later
11:34 Techrights-sec; Maybe just check on it occassionally when you hppen to post a link there?
11:35 schestowitz-TR; I try to focus mainly on analysing and writing
11:35 schestowitz-TR; EPO is number 1 numbeer 2 and numbe3 priority at the moment
11:35 schestowitz-TR; I also managed to use a time windsows in the small hours to migrate all
11:35 schestowitz-TR; essential files to a disk that I trust
11:35 schestowitz-TR; which makes me feel very happy and confident
11:37 Techrights-sec; excellent
11:37 Techrights-sec; I hope none were silently corrupted while on the old drive
11:37 schestowitz-TR; I've just checked netslit.de
11:37 schestowitz-TR; it says average people (#) on the irc network is 66
11:37 schestowitz-TR; peakingn at 77

11:37 schestowitz-TR; peakingn at 77
11:37 Techrights-sec; For TR?
11:39 schestowitz-TR; yes, the whole network
11:39 schestowitz-TR; regarding data loss, for about a month already, maybe even 2 months
11:39 schestowitz-TR; since we installed debian 11 for gemini
11:39 schestowitz-TR; I've seen those errors and successful correction
11:39 schestowitz-TR; I assume it reattempts the wroites and uses some other slots
11:39 schestowitz-TR; I've not seen evidence of data corruption
11:39 schestowitz-TR; such as application crashes( binary) or corrupt files being opened
11:42 schestowitz-TR; tbh, i've quite enjoyed seeing the bonfire or whatever that is video hosting services
11:42 schestowitz-TR; odysee might have a few years left in it
11:42 schestowitz-TR; it's cheaper to operate
11:42 schestowitz-TR; fsf moved from hosting its own with mediagoblin
11:42 schestowitz-TR; they now use peertube
11:54 Techrights-sec; obviously self-hosting is best but if they outsource, it should only be to a
11:54 Techrights-sec; service that 1) is consistent with software freedom and 2) actually saves both
11:54 Techrights-sec; effort and money
11:55 schestowitz-TR; the pseudo 'free' hosting might be OK... for disposable stuff. But many people are made to convince themselves that losing their work, data etc. is not a big dead anyway, as they were not in control of the decision on this matter
12:19 *Despatche (~desp@u3xy9z2ifjzci.irc) has joined #boycottnovell
12:21 Techrights-sec; I'm not sure there are really any legitimate use-cases for the pseudofree
12:21 Techrights-sec; services, especially if the goal is to be promoting freedom. I was thinking
12:21 Techrights-sec; more about outsourced services which cost money, but gain that would depend
12:21 Techrights-sec; on them actually saving both time, effort, and money in contrast to self-hosting
12:21 Techrights-sec; In practice, I expecti such a situation would be hard to impossible to find.
12:22 schestowitz-TR; maybe we can articulate these things to make an article, not sure...
12:22 schestowitz-TR; can you take a look at the OSI draft to say if it's in good taste?

12:37 Techrights-sec; looking
12:37 Techrights-sec; more context is needed about the change of priorities / agendas that the new
12:37 Techrights-sec; board members will usher in
12:37 Techrights-sec; A small amount of overlap between articles doesn't hurt.
12:37 schestowitz-TR; ok
12:37 schestowitz-TR; I will add links

13:30 Techrights-sec; Links are best when wrapped in a sentence or two, so that there is meaning enough for people to see the context and know
13:30 Techrights-sec; what they will get when / if they click
13:30 Techrights-sec; on a link. THere are too many links on any given page for people to click them
13:30 Techrights-sec; randomly, especially on a CMS.
13:32 schestowitz-TR; draft
13:32 schestowitz-TR; The brevity of posts this week is mostly duie to lack of time
13:32 schestowitz-TR; lots of epo material
13:32 schestowitz-TR; I may get back to the OSI thing later on, with a lot more text
13:32 schestowitz-TR; notice that none of the media ever covers these
13:32 schestowitz-TR; things anymore
13:32 schestowitz-TR; 15 years ago you would expect many news sites
13:32 schestowitz-TR; to say something

13:32 schestowitz-TR; 15 years ago you would expect many news sites
13:32 schestowitz-TR; to say something
13:38 Techrights-sec; yes, it is newsworthy but the sites don't cover much of anything newsworthy
13:38 Techrights-sec; any more just what they are sponsored to cover. :/
13:38 schestowitz-TR; physical newspaper and magazines barely survived. Revenue streams like classifieds gone, there's not this bubble of "targeted advertising"
13:39 schestowitz-TR; and since the bubble burst some years ago
13:39 schestowitz-TR; (sites unable to convert visitors into sufficient money)
13:39 schestowitz-TR; the activity of journalism mostly stopped
13:39 schestowitz-TR; so the gap gets filled with PR agencies and social control media
13:40 schestowitz-TR; which are not necessarily two different things
14:55 Techrights-sec; physical newspapers are more or less gone, at this point.
14:55 Techrights-sec; Most small, independent ones have been bought out and either shut down or
14:55 Techrights-sec; gutted and devoid of actual local news and instead used as a medium for
14:55 Techrights-sec; promulgating carious corporate or political agendas within specific geographic
14:55 Techrights-sec; areas.
