03:52 techrights[sec]; The script should take about 3 to 6 minutes for a good-sized list of feeds.
03:52 techrights[sec]; How many feeds and how long does it take when you try it?

07:32 techrights[sec]; tm-old unavail
07:32 techrights[sec]; restarted httpd and mysqld
07:32 techrights[sec]; it was out for a while three times: 05:16, 05:49,
07:32 schestowitz-pi2; i did too
07:32 schestowitz-pi2; maybe at the same time ;-)
07:32 schestowitz-pi2; either way, it's back
07:32 schestowitz-pi2; yes, i lost my ssh session on it some time earlier
07:32 schestowitz-pi2; but did not retsarthttpd until 3 mins a
07:36 techrights[sec]; what's the time line for decommissioning tm-old?
07:50 techrights[sec]; mysqld is under heavy load
07:51 schestowitz-pi2; drupal is not too good at caching when you add custom bits to it
07:51 schestowitz-pi2; computational debt
07:51 schestowitz-pi2; you end up using up like x10 more electricity per page request
07:51 schestowitz-pi2; inc. spiders
07:59 techrights[sec]; ok
08:07 techrights[sec]; .
08:08 techrights[sec]; what's the time line for decommissioning tm-old?
08:08 techrights[sec]; ok
08:08 techrights[sec]; gallery has been moved
08:09 schestowitz-pi2; i am still thinking about it
08:09 schestowitz-pi2; almost everything is "node" but not everything
08:09 schestowitz-pi2; this can make scraping easier, but not everything is a node
08:09 schestowitz-pi2; drupal uses aliases for some
08:09 schestowitz-pi2; maybe there is a table in the db for the aliases
08:09 schestowitz-pi2; like in wordpress
08:09 schestowitz-pi2; wp_slug or similar
08:09 schestowitz-pi2; obv. over time the older pages get fewer and fewer views
08:09 schestowitz-pi2; as people don't search for mandriva 2008 in 2023
08:09 schestowitz-pi2; thanks for statifying galleru
08:09 schestowitz-pi2; it's a big job, but it does justice to distro devs who lose the capacity
08:09 schestowitz-pi2; to keep going, like samlinux
08:12 schestowitz-pi2; todo: figure out what torvalds' cryptic rant was invoked by
08:12 schestowitz-pi2; surely some bad merge or several
08:12 schestowitz-pi2; maybe from same company/person
08:12 schestowitz-pi2; what the fork does linux even need pluton for????
08:12 schestowitz-pi2; who is this for????
08:12 schestowitz-pi2; can torvalds say GTFO?
08:12 schestowitz-pi2; probably not
08:12 schestowitz-pi2; check his list of bosses
08:12 schestowitz-pi2; the henchman is still at it
08:12 schestowitz-pi2; dancing around the subject
08:12 schestowitz-pi2; and nitpicking on the use of terminology by the n00b at it'sFOSS
08:16 techrights[sec]; interesting. Since he's appears not to be boss any more the big question is
08:16 techrights[sec]; who is pressing him for that.
08:16 schestowitz-pi2; go tom phornonix.com
08:16 schestowitz-pi2; search mirosoft
08:16 schestowitz-pi2; read form comments
08:17 schestowitz-pi2; some hints there *forum
08:17 techrights[sec]; Phoronix has become a waste of time, as far as the headlines are concerned.
08:17 techrights[sec]; The headlines often show up in certain searches but show that he remains
08:17 techrights[sec]; sold out.
08:17 techrights[sec]; GKH was eager to shoehorn m$ code into the kernel and wasn't he one of those
08:17 techrights[sec]; pushing for ksystemd or some such shit? As far as I know he's brought in
08:17 techrights[sec]; at least a few microsofters so that the dirty work gets spread around and is
08:17 techrights[sec]; harder to track.
08:20 schestowitz-pi2; maybe the code comesfrom microsoft
08:20 schestowitz-pi2; via mole
08:20 schestowitz-pi2; anf to msft from amd, nsa... god knows...
08:20 schestowitz-pi2; thyey have endless resources
08:20 schestowitz-pi2; greg kh worked for microvell
08:20 schestowitz-pi2; it helped his career
08:20 schestowitz-pi2; he found no lts partner other than msft levin
08:20 schestowitz-pi2; lots pf money and social engineering
08:20 techrights[sec]; Only Levin?
08:23 schestowitz-pi2; poa
08:23 schestowitz-pi2; via gkh
08:23 schestowitz-pi2; work hard, get asked to do more work
08:23 schestowitz-pi2; suck up to the boss, get less work, get promoted
08:23 schestowitz-pi2; par-timing as irc stalker
08:23 schestowitz-pi2; don't worry, the code will "come from above"
08:23 schestowitz-pi2; while you network with eff moles and do kinky things
08:25 techrights[sec]; especially social engineering
08:25 techrights[sec]; Speaking of social engineering there are a great many "articles"
08:25 techrights[sec]; expounding on "wonderful things" being done via Tiktok, This smells like
08:25 techrights[sec]; the Facebook boosting that went on some years ago when it having trouble
08:25 techrights[sec]; getting established
08:25 schestowitz-pi2; yes, i took note of some in irc
08:25 schestowitz-pi2; positive tiktok stories
08:25 schestowitz-pi2; that smack of "plugs"
08:37 schestowitz-pi2; turns out i lost ssh sessions to two more boxes
08:37 schestowitz-pi2; so likely not related to the httpd thing
08:37 schestowitz-pi2; the irc scrollback in gemini was hours b
08:37 schestowitz-pi2; hours behind
08:38 techrights[sec]; It really does.
08:40 schestowitz-pi2; re "
08:40 schestowitz-pi2; It really does.
08:40 schestowitz-pi2; "
08:40 schestowitz-pi2; with tiktok, it's not a secret at all that they started lobbying
08:40 schestowitz-pi2; it is reported openly
08:40 schestowitz-pi2; they also rebranded a bit in the US
08:40 schestowitz-pi2; like huawei did
08:40 schestowitz-pi2; they make similar-sounding subsidaries
08:40 schestowitz-pi2; one of them has a grip on LF as well
08:40 schestowitz-pi2; LF is a brothel of corporations and suits
08:40 schestowitz-pi2; zemlin is no genius, some person who attends the brother's reception desk
08:40 schestowitz-pi2; while the actual gnu/linux communities get f*ed hard
08:40 schestowitz-pi2; by LF "clients"
08:43 schestowitz-pi2; work hard, slaves, there's a coc
08:43 schestowitz-pi2; don't complain, the clients don't like that
08:43 schestowitz-pi2; i wanted to be a chef or rock climber, instead i was propelled into bossing torvalds
08:43 schestowitz-pi2; i also havea an empty account in github (microsoft)
08:43 schestowitz-pi2; i can't code, but I have brown wife [racist?]
08:43 schestowitz-pi2; either way, LF is VERY quiet this year
08:43 schestowitz-pi2; i reckon they have some PR "bunnies" telling them they have an image crisis
08:43 schestowitz-pi2; and the more they talk, the greater the backlash
08:43 schestowitz-pi2; like NSA in mid 2013
08:44 techrights[sec]; I have no ideas about how LF can be salvaged if even Zemlin is against FOSS
08:44 techrights[sec]; As mentioned before, it started a while back and became obvious when community
08:44 techrights[sec]; representation was eliminated from the board.
08:45 schestowitz-pi2; iirc, same year satya "microsoft loves linux" joined (paid) LF
08:45 schestowitz-pi2; but later in the year
08:45 schestowitz-pi2; months apart almost for sure
08:45 schestowitz-pi2; coinciding with WSL and other anti-Linux shit
08:45 schestowitz-pi2; and WSL trolls invading irc
08:45 schestowitz-pi2; to shill their wares
08:45 schestowitz-pi2; 2016 iirc
08:45 schestowitz-pi2; "loves linux" is 2015 iirc
08:51 techrights[sec]; Shills have been pusing WSL more than before lately but the style has changed
08:51 techrights[sec]; so maybe a different firm is pushing it?
08:51 techrights[sec]; ^marketing firm
08:52 schestowitz-pi2; wait till they converge
08:52 schestowitz-pi2; and then sell us WSL NOW WITH CHATGPT!!!!!!!!! OMG! WOWOWOWOWOW!
09:03 techrights[sec]; Their LLM is inaccurate, at best, and will be used to foist marketing onto
09:03 techrights[sec]; more people if they are still on M$ Windows
09:06 schestowitz-pi2; i worry about how this trash corrodes the media
09:06 schestowitz-pi2; to the point where SMFT layoffs aren't covered
09:06 schestowitz-pi2; they come up with fake news slants
09:06 schestowitz-pi2; like pretending that some "exams" mean that HEY HI will replace $occupation
09:06 schestowitz-pi2; exams are spin
09:06 schestowitz-pi2; exams are not practicew
09:06 schestowitz-pi2; but you already know that
09:06 schestowitz-pi2; they came up with many pieces for weeks in advance
09:06 schestowitz-pi2; while the suits drew up lists of people to be laid off
09:06 schestowitz-pi2; e.g. 300 in github
09:06 schestowitz-pi2; next time there are layoffs they will reuse the 2020 spin
09:06 schestowitz-pi2; that people are merely being replaced by HEY HI
09:06 schestowitz-pi2; they slap "HEY HI" onto anything
09:06 schestowitz-pi2; metaverse dying off shows where this hype is heading
09:06 schestowitz-pi2; billions in losses
09:30 techrights[sec]; Billions in losses -- agaain -- and then another federal bailout --
09:31 schestowitz-pi2; 10,000 articles about "HEY HI arms race"
09:31 schestowitz-pi2; 1,000 articles about how Pentagon needs HEY HI
09:31 schestowitz-pi2; 100bn defence contracts from Sleepy to Satya
09:31 schestowitz-pi2; for HEY HI WOW factor
09:43 schestowitz-pi2; seriously though, maybe I am blinded w/o quiterss
09:43 schestowitz-pi2; but the usual onslaught of anti-linux crap on www is hardly there
09:43 schestowitz-pi2; and that's a big plus
09:43 schestowitz-pi2; and also LF is almost invisible
09:43 schestowitz-pi2; it happened for a month or 2 last year
09:43 schestowitz-pi2; did not stick
09:43 schestowitz-pi2; knowing they have money, connection and resources
09:43 schestowitz-pi2; i know they can always pull a fast one if they see communities like wikileaks
09:43 schestowitz-pi2; gaining traction. or fsf for that matter...
09:43 schestowitz-pi2; slush funds for them
09:43 schestowitz-pi2; send one coockoo head
09:43 schestowitz-pi2; or a dozen
09:48 techrights[sec]; The EFF has been made harmless.
09:49 schestowitz-pi2; EFF is like our fish in the hospital
09:49 schestowitz-pi2; she made it over 3 days already (!)
09:49 schestowitz-pi2; alive, swimming
09:49 schestowitz-pi2; but not so likely to recover
09:49 schestowitz-pi2; one can hope and pray
09:49 schestowitz-pi2; many orgs that "out there" do something
09:49 schestowitz-pi2; but are toothless
09:49 schestowitz-pi2; give the cover of scrutiny
09:49 schestowitz-pi2; like EPO setting up "Ombuds Service"
09:49 schestowitz-pi2; that EPO manmagement controls
09:49 schestowitz-pi2; all about optics
09:49 techrights[sec]; Not even the illusion of scrutiny.
09:49 techrights[sec]; Just a little noise on occasionk, and not even about relevannt topics any more
09:49 techrights[sec]; or if they do touch on relevant topics it is done from an angle which ensures
09:49 techrights[sec]; that any action is negated or ineffective.

09:54 schestowitz-pi2; and they hardly blog anymore I might add
09:54 schestowitz-pi2; i didn't check the cast, not the transcript
09:54 schestowitz-pi2; probably the cast uses some centralised proprietary thing
09:54 schestowitz-pi2; they used to host their url shorteners (not good, but better than some)
09:54 schestowitz-pi2; now on the technical side they are toothless and dependent
09:54 schestowitz-pi2; with peter e dead I reckon they tout doctorow as token activist
09:54 schestowitz-pi2; while others are activists in causes not relevant to the eff
09:54 schestowitz-pi2; and btw they waste money where they are based
09:54 schestowitz-pi2; unless 20 dollar lattes are an absolute necessity
09:54 schestowitz-pi2; some members pay for those coffees
09:54 schestowitz-pi2; they get little RoI
09:54 schestowitz-pi2; LF spends 6 million a year on its office
09:54 schestowitz-pi2; for 100 staff

14:37 techrights[sec]; The HTTP links (feed and site) are there so that the site name acts like the

14:37 techrights[sec]; the button is used all the time but the outgoing links to the site and the feed
14:37 techrights[sec]; are very rarely used. Hovering over them shows what they do.

15:59 schestowitz-pi2; Ausssie AP
15:59 schestowitz-pi2; not too useful
