07:37 Techrights-sec2; I've added the prerequisite CPAN modules to Alpine, some via the package
07:37 Techrights-sec2; manager (when possible) the remainder via the CPAN module
07:37 Techrights-sec2; I've created some placeholder accounts; hopefully the group memberships are
07:37 Techrights-sec2; correct
07:37 Techrights-sec2; Please try some of the work flow to be sure; I am sure there are still rough
07:37 Techrights-sec2; edges with the file system permissions.
07:37 Techrights-sec2; I've adjusted Apache's vhost configuration extensively.
07:37 Techrights-sec2; I'm wondering how we can split out the scripts and such from the main Git branch
07:37 Techrights-sec2; I notice that the TLS certificate is not using the right host name nor a wildcard
07:37 Techrights-sec2; I added coreutils so that the 'date' utility will behave as expected in the
07:37 Techrights-sec2; shell scripts
07:37 Techrights-sec2; The only downside to Alpine so far, and its a big one, is the lack of manual pages
07:37 Techrights-sec2; We should turn off password authentication for sshd as soon as convenient
07:37 Techrights-sec2; The CSS still needs a lot of polish
07:37 schestowitz-TR; 0/
07:37 schestowitz-TR; gm
07:37 schestowitz-TR; wonderful news about CPAN and package managers being able to retrieve all the required deps
07:37 schestowitz-TR; I've grown to like SPAN after
07:37 schestowitz-TR; SPAN
07:37 schestowitz-TR; >CPAN
07:37 schestowitz-TR; after first finding out about it 2 decades ago, it was a little intimidating at first
07:37 schestowitz-TR; the syntax, the permissions, the way to invoke the software and specify modules based
07:37 schestowitz-TR; on their context, how to locate/name them
07:37 schestowitz-TR; trying account access now, tests..
07:53 schestowitz-TR; after attempts to use the new account to access via ssh I realised, seeing /home, that it is not
07:53 schestowitz-TR; a UNIX account on the system and therefore refers to something else
07:53 schestowitz-TR; oh, I see
07:53 schestowitz-TR; web-end
07:53 schestowitz-TR; ok, I have attempted to add node via tuxmachines and roy
07:53 schestowitz-TR; it tries to use /bin/nano
07:53 schestowitz-TR; rather than
07:53 schestowitz-TR; /usr/bin/nano
07:53 schestowitz-TR; which is where 'which' tells me the binary is
07:53 schestowitz-TR; I can change this push to git and then pull to server but not yet sure about the workflow
07:53 schestowitz-TR; also, to get to 'roy' (keys and passwords did not work) I su roy from hv->tm-new
08:14 schestowitz-TR; ok, git.tuxmachines.org and beta.tuxmachines.org registered now
08:15 schestowitz-TR; I've pulled from TM git just now
08:15 schestowitz-TR; do you want me to mail marius with password for the beta to give feedback?
08:15 Techrights-sec2; ack
08:15 Techrights-sec2; checking
08:15 Techrights-sec2; yes please his feedback is important since this is for him also
08:21 schestowitz-TR; one quick question
08:21 schestowitz-TR; your username is aaaa
08:21 schestowitz-TR; if that's iuntentional, then we can allow read-only access to git.tuxmachines.org for people to
08:21 schestowitz-TR; checkout the CMS and maybe replicate it, give back etc.
08:21 schestowitz-TR; unless there is something sensitive in the commit log
08:21 schestowitz-TR; at a later stage, assuming we have gemini.tuxmachines.org
08:21 schestowitz-TR; we can reuse the code from TR to present TM Git over gemini
08:21 schestowitz-TR; it would be one afternoon's work
08:21 schestowitz-TR; I've just exited cpanel, but before doing so I added subdomain gemini.tuxmachines.org
08:21 schestowitz-TR; not that this is a priority
08:21 schestowitz-TR; it would need its own separate dir with files (another format)
08:21 schestowitz-TR; and something like agate on port 1965
08:21 schestowitz-TR; but at least the server now had 4 aliases
08:21 schestowitz-TR; gemini, beta, news, and git
08:22 Techrights-sec2; I'm not sure about how to set up read-only access, Git is complicated that way
08:22 Techrights-sec2; thanks
08:22 Techrights-sec2; something for later
08:22 Techrights-sec2; still fighting with Git on news.tuxmachines.org :(
08:22 Techrights-sec2; when it works, it is rather good (i.e. useful) but it is hard to use
08:22 Techrights-sec2; and even harder to configure
08:25 schestowitz-TR; I'\ve just written the output as root history to my homedir
08:25 schestowitz-TR; assuming that might come in handy later when we do the same with TR
08:25 schestowitz-TR; maybe TR will have the same workflow and CMS
08:25 schestowitz-TR; alongside the existinf stuff
08:25 schestowitz-TR; workflow consolidation would simplify things

08:29 schestowitz-TR; OK, nano works now
08:29 schestowitz-TR; adding test
08:29 schestowitz-TR; now it tries to find /usr/bin/tidy
08:29 schestowitz-TR; thanks
08:29 schestowitz-TR; record added :-)
08:29 Techrights-sec2; ok, the scripts are now available on news...
08:29 Techrights-sec2; adding
08:29 Techrights-sec2; added
08:29 Techrights-sec2; I forgot about the binary dependencies :/
08:29 Techrights-sec2; excellent
08:29 Techrights-sec2; ok test the tm-extract... script
08:32 schestowitz-TR; the -b option is no longer valid
08:32 schestowitz-TR; I tried without it, as the paths are the same
08:32 Techrights-sec2; tm-extract-posts-sql.pl -f -v -d $(date -d yesterday "+%Y%m%d") -s
08:32 Techrights-sec2; steps 2 - 5 in the workflow can be rolled into a single script
08:38 schestowitz-TR; OK, the node shows up OK, I think the genration of front page, rss etc. is still a separate thing
08:38 schestowitz-TR; but it looks like some time soon rianne and I will add new nodes to both sites at the same time
08:38 schestowitz-TR; to dry-testmaybe at a later stage let people have a sneak peak, maybe by month's end?
08:44 Techrights-sec2; those are separate scripts for now
08:44 Techrights-sec2; thanks
08:44 Techrights-sec2; there is an obnoxious variant of vi on alpine, I have to figure out what's the
08:44 Techrights-sec2; deal with that and if it can be countered
08:44 Techrights-sec2; the sqlite3 database is the authority for TM, from it new layouts and pages
08:44 Techrights-sec2; can be generated, it is also there to force an absolute, rigid structure on
08:44 Techrights-sec2; the data contained within
08:47 schestowitz-TR; btw, tuxmachines is not "orginal" "content" but techrgihts is
08:47 schestowitz-TR; but thinking about it, putting pertinent static pages in git would not be a good idea
08:47 schestowitz-TR; as that would not keep sqlite in sync and basically manifest two versions with possibly
08:47 schestowitz-TR; conflicting edits
08:47 schestowitz-TR; the techrights DB grows a lot faster because of Daily Links for the most part
08:47 schestowitz-TR; I've just checked db dumps, they are OK
08:47 schestowitz-TR; dmesg shows very few xfs-related messages
08:47 schestowitz-TR; but sometimes some gz files can still 'fail'
08:47 schestowitz-TR; when I say "few" I mean, I observed maybe 1 or 2 warnings per day
08:47 schestowitz-TR; having that said, after xfs_repair it seems like the issue isn't critical
08:47 schestowitz-TR; from the lenses of kaniini, I don't want to bother too much
08:47 schestowitz-TR; seeing that everything generally works, inc. the lion's share of backups,
08:47 schestowitz-TR; as we transitioned to a more "modern" and robust workflow, system
08:48 Techrights-sec2; ok but file system problems are very worrysome even if they are "just" warnings
08:52 schestowitz-TR; I agree. I will add
08:52 schestowitz-TR; a) this was recently looked at, fixed
08:52 schestowitz-TR; b) kaniini said from the admin's (hv) end it looks not a big deal, not to say "benign"
08:52 schestowitz-TR; c) I want to issue a payment soon, don't want to "waste" more time for now
08:52 schestowitz-TR; not sure if you noticed, but debian.community will likely be confiscated soon
08:52 schestowitz-TR; we have one epo series ongoing (more to come), 2 onging Microsoft series
08:53 schestowitz-TR; the one about media manipulation was in LXer yesterday
08:53 schestowitz-TR; and I try to keep productive too
08:53 schestowitz-TR; yesterday, albeit many posts were memes, there were 21 posts
08:53 schestowitz-TR; this weekend I have my plate full
08:53 schestowitz-TR; I will record shortly, re georg weber and swpats
08:53 schestowitz-TR; will say "ota" when I start to avoid system bell distracting
08:53 schestowitz-TR; thanks for all the word, tonight I will show marius the site
08:53 schestowitz-TR; and rianne may add some test posts after work (she finished 5:30pm, then I take over till 1am
08:53 schestowitz-TR; the OS migration task is finally, years late, "in progress"
08:53 schestowitz-TR; tuxmachines can be a model for techrights later, many of the same commands to be run there
08:53 schestowitz-TR; as the OS is identical
08:53 schestowitz-TR; we can make suibsites, e.g. wiki.techrights.org, with legacy URLs still working

09:51 schestowitz-TR; 45 mins long
09:51 schestowitz-TR; so this can take a while to process
09:51 schestowitz-TR; it's about swpats
09:51 schestowitz-TR; and debunking all those lies from the EPO uusing their offical PDFs
09:51 schestowitz-TR; even if only a few INSIDERS at the EPO listen, that's good
09:51 Techrights-sec2; ack
09:51 Techrights-sec2; good
09:51 Techrights-sec2; every bit helps
09:53 schestowitz-TR; apachetop says 2MB/sec since reboot
09:53 schestowitz-TR; (motly video traffic)
09:53 schestowitz-TR; no editing needed, but I will start writing the text
09:53 schestowitz-TR; rianne already cleaned her feeds for tuxmachines before work at 9am

10:13 schestowitz-TR; draft
10:17 Techrights-sec2; checking
10:17 Techrights-sec2; CII needs to be expanded in the summary
10:17 Techrights-sec2; (I know what they are but it is not a common acronym)
10:17 Techrights-sec2; The closing paragraph could end with a call to stop issuing fraudulent patents
10:17 Techrights-sec2; or something
10:22 schestowitz-TR; correcting
10:22 schestowitz-TR; i cover some such in the video
10:22 schestowitz-TR; adding more text, jhang on
10:22 schestowitz-TR; examiners sort of ask for help
10:22 schestowitz-TR; they want the job, but don't want to break the law
10:22 schestowitz-TR; see last paragraph just added, I will do further work on it later, got daily links files
10:33 Techrights-sec2; checking

10:36 schestowitz-TR; right,w ell spotted. eta for video 1 hour, maybe more like 40 mins if I push rsync repeatedly to improve overlap
10:36 schestowitz-TR; between upload and file processing
10:36 schestowitz-TR; but this video has no urgency, unlike some
10:36 schestowitz-TR; I'm going to do my round of weekend phonecalls soon
10:36 schestowitz-TR; still no word from my unvle in FL
10:36 schestowitz-TR; which makes me more worried, as I asked for updates
10:36 schestowitz-TR; they didn't tell me if it's coviv
10:36 schestowitz-TR; if it is, he's in the "right" age (90s)

11:54 schestowitz-TR; for the second weekend in a row no weekend edition from counterpunch
11:54 schestowitz-TR; maybe they make up for it during the week
11:54 schestowitz-TR; but on sunday they make some paywalled stuff and no ~50 items near end of week
11:54 schestowitz-TR; so bottom line is, I wonder what state they are in financially
11:54 schestowitz-TR; or health
11:54 schestowitz-TR; iirc, founder died
11:54 schestowitz-TR; many sites later syndicate C, and vice versa
11:54 schestowitz-TR; an important "counter punch" to power and MSM
11:54 schestowitz-TR; different, but FACTUAL

12:21 schestowitz-TR; now RT is blacklisted, deplotformed etc.
12:21 schestowitz-TR; so they have nobody to turn to
12:21 schestowitz-TR; some drone WBer like Ling and others were reading TR

12:21 schestowitz-TR; like when theyd decide to throw certain companies and/or oligarchs under the "bus"

12:52 Techrights-sec2; but also epidemiological reasons. There is also the matter of civil rights
12:52 Techrights-sec2; and the TSA has spread abusive, demeaning practices throughout the world and
12:52 Techrights-sec2; normalized such treatment
12:52 schestowitz-TR; tsa has normalised this also for land travel, e.g. buses and trains
12:52 schestowitz-TR; this would be unthionkable in the 1990s
12:52 schestowitz-TR; hysteria over potential train attack
12:52 schestowitz-TR; that would never kill 200,000 Brits anyhow
12:54 Techrights-sec2; specific politicians have had an active hand in those 200k deaths
12:54 schestowitz-TR; "party like it's y2k"

13:10 schestowitz-TR; (of course later she caught the virus)
13:10 schestowitz-TR; polticians who wear is NOW will get trolled
13:10 schestowitz-TR; because it has been politicised
13:10 schestowitz-TR; and if they speak of organised hate crimes they get called "phobic"
13:10 schestowitz-TR; like thr "irrational fear" of Microsoft
13:10 schestowitz-TR; but that's another topic
13:10 schestowitz-TR; I'm gonna make some epo memes now
13:10 schestowitz-TR; tonight I will speak to marius
13:11 Techrights-sec2; everything in the US is politicized , IMO due to the pervasiveness of
13:11 Techrights-sec2; Facebook and other divisive social control media.
13:11 Techrights-sec2; The EU is not a bastion of rationality though, Facebook, Tiktok and other

13:19 schestowitz-TR; it's a bit of a loop
13:19 schestowitz-TR; but I can't quite articulate it just yet
13:19 schestowitz-TR; the key point is
13:19 schestowitz-TR; convince young people that reading news sites is "uncool"
13:19 schestowitz-TR; or "dead"
13:19 schestowitz-TR; and that "your friends" (zuck, algo, musk) know better

13:20 Techrights-sec2; :(
13:22 Techrights-sec2; social control media is -- at best -- hearsay
13:22 Techrights-sec2; it can be kind of used as a pointer to find real source but then one has to
13:22 Techrights-sec2; ask at the same time, which messages were suppressed and why was the message
13:22 Techrights-sec2; received chosen for advancement

13:30 Techrights-sec2; not just the addiction but the vehicle for it and the fallout from it.
13:30 Techrights-sec2; there was a report the other week confirming that many of the politicians
13:30 Techrights-sec2; I had supsected of being influenced by the kremlin, through money, actually
13:30 Techrights-sec2; were; I can't find the links again though. I think they were included
13:30 Techrights-sec2; in one of the batches
13:34 schestowitz-TR; from my own experiene, twitter can be "adddictive" becayse
13:34 schestowitz-TR; a) fomo
13:34 schestowitz-TR; b) notification
13:34 schestowitz-TR; c) a sense of impact, rewarded, like gamification
13:34 schestowitz-TR; angry birds, with like 330,000 points just to pass some level in 20 second
13:34 schestowitz-TR; the new video you sent re smartphone mentions the mental impact of notifications in one's pocket
13:34 schestowitz-TR; or stress, or overload outside your pace and tccontrol
13:34 schestowitz-TR; they push messages to you
13:34 schestowitz-TR; rather than you pulling when free/available

13:36 schestowitz-TR; it's hard to treat addicts

13:39 schestowitz-TR; ==
13:39 schestowitz-TR; it should be able table manners ands social cue, tact
13:39 schestowitz-TR; don't pick up something off the table when someone talks to you

13:39 schestowitz-TR; *mumble
13:39 schestowitz-TR; soner or later decent people won't sit down to interact with you

13:39 schestowitz-TR; pumping shit to your brain
13:40 Techrights-sec2; oh my
13:40 Techrights-sec2; yes, as far as I can tell all the rules about dealing with addicts apply
13:40 Techrights-sec2; but it's not just a basic addiction, the devices contain multple programs
13:40 Techrights-sec2; each acting effectively as Skinner boxes to control and program the victim
13:40 Techrights-sec2; Maybe a slap-and-stomp campaign can be cultivated globally?
13:40 Techrights-sec2; slap the phone down and stomp on it, if it is brought out at the table
13:40 Techrights-sec2; kids already are subjected to many more times the number of contact hours
13:40 Techrights-sec2; to corporate maniuplation than with their own "friends" and relatives
13:40 Techrights-sec2; yes, pumping shit and preventing learning and socialization
13:41 schestowitz-TR; I don't plan to ever have kids, so whatever they teach them re copyright, corporations etc.
13:41 schestowitz-TR; likely can be kept at bay
13:41 schestowitz-TR; the state does not educate kids here
13:41 schestowitz-TR; it "prepares" them
13:41 Techrights-sec2; afaik there is copyright maximalist lying which is the foundation of the
13:41 Techrights-sec2; curriculum and no facts are brought up, ever, in that regard
13:43 schestowitz-TR; years ago, in euipo, and again since then as epo head, campinos bragged about pushing this
13:43 schestowitz-TR; "IP" propaganda into schools
13:43 schestowitz-TR; moaning that the kids aren't bveing "taught" this shit
13:43 schestowitz-TR; BTW, he's a lawyer for a bank
13:43 schestowitz-TR; rebranded as "IP" guru
13:43 schestowitz-TR; he's a liar and crim
13:43 schestowitz-TR; I covered somke of his lying videos
13:43 schestowitz-TR; and mentioned his lying CV this morning in the video
13:43 schestowitz-TR; he's a pser
13:43 schestowitz-TR; *(poser
13:43 schestowitz-TR; and they try to target the next generations
13:44 schestowitz-TR; kids
13:44 schestowitz-TR; to start over with more leverage over public perceptions
13:44 Techrights-sec2; it's so bad that probably most people think that FOSS is illegal
13:44 Techrights-sec2; yes I read about him ;)
13:44 Techrights-sec2; I was going to modify one script but had to fix some other scripts first
13:44 Techrights-sec2; as a prerequisite to that and now I can't recall even which script it was
13:44 Techrights-sec2; let alone the planned task. Oh well
13:45 Techrights-sec2; At least the prerequisites are taken care of now.
13:46 Techrights-sec2; no it was before we resumed chatting, it was hours ago and I had completely
13:46 Techrights-sec2; forgotten about it;
13:46 Techrights-sec2; I'll have to have coffee or somethning else to see if the idea wanders back in
13:46 Techrights-sec2; as it had wandered out
13:47 schestowitz-TR; sorry, I'm distracted you
13:47 schestowitz-TR; *I'vee
13:47 schestowitz-TR; later.... :-)
13:47 schestowitz-TR; happens twiece to me today, 2pm here
13:47 schestowitz-TR; but I told rianne, what ZI do remembere is that neither was of importance
13:47 schestowitz-TR; and thinking about it would not be worth the time

14:21 schestowitz-TR; maybe to fit the editorial mindset of nytimes and boston u

14:33 schestowitz-TR; as long as there is another navigational path, such as "calendar" style index,

15:28 schestowitz-TR; there is no doubt in my mind
15:28 schestowitz-TR; a) financial institutions benefit from this
15:28 schestowitz-TR; b) pension companies depend on such culling
15:28 schestowitz-TR; c) behind the scnes they lobby a bit to "open up"
15:28 schestowitz-TR; this is what happens in rotting econommies
15:28 schestowitz-TR; German during hyper inflation gassed people
15:28 schestowitz-TR; Today we do it with class, and leave hospital bills to relatives too
15:28 schestowitz-TR; Germany did not send "gas bills" to relatives

15:28 schestowitz-TR; unlike spanish flu, this virus very specifically kills people who are no longer working
15:28 schestowitz-TR; i.e. they don't bring much "capital" into the economy
15:28 schestowitz-TR; I
15:28 schestowitz-TR; I am NOT suggesting this was designed or intentional
15:28 schestowitz-TR; rather, it was embraced by many opportunists
15:28 schestowitz-TR; each with her or his own agenbda
15:28 schestowitz-TR; like companies being bailed out

15:30 Techrights-sec2; that pandemic has been going on long enough that I would expect the gamblers to

15:38 schestowitz-TR; side story, my sister got married in 2005 or 06
15:38 schestowitz-TR; must be the latter
15:38 schestowitz-TR; as I already wrote in BN
15:38 schestowitz-TR; at the wedding, I spent like 2 hours chatting with my dad's cousin
15:38 schestowitz-TR; he felt like he didn't make use of his life
15:38 schestowitz-TR; and wasted it away sitting on inherited money
15:38 schestowitz-TR; he still hasn't found himself
15:38 schestowitz-TR; but he was fascinated by what I was doing online
15:38 schestowitz-TR; his kids are both do-nothing losers
15:38 schestowitz-TR; apparently common in such families with little incentive to study, work...
15:38 schestowitz-TR; unlike his family, we all need to work, all the time... he was never in that position
15:38 schestowitz-TR; as his dad was very very lucky
15:38 Techrights-sec2; ack
15:38 Techrights-sec2; :(
15:38 Techrights-sec2; yes that kind of money tends to do that to people
15:44 schestowitz-TR; some people realise at 20 that the money can technically go with them to the grave
15:44 schestowitz-TR; technically
15:44 schestowitz-TR; with "them"
15:44 schestowitz-TR; some realise it at 40
15:44 schestowitz-TR; but by then have dependpents
15:44 schestowitz-TR; some realise this at 80
15:44 schestowitz-TR; then they waste away money on gold and golf shit
15:44 schestowitz-TR; rianne bought land 2 months ago
15:44 schestowitz-TR; to help bail out the sister
15:44 schestowitz-TR; (not really out of choice)
15:47 schestowitz-TR; some rich people justify self-harm by saying shallow stuff like "need to enjoy life"
15:47 schestowitz-TR; equating narcotics with happiness
15:47 schestowitz-TR; they're in for quite a ride, esp. when the dependability stops being a choice
15:47 schestowitz-TR; nicotine, booze, pretty much all social control media ;-)
15:49 schestowitz-TR; (uncle in hospital now is how I matured faster as a teen, mentally)
15:49 schestowitz-TR; he was in his early 70 and considered me like his fourth son (he still does)
15:52 schestowitz-TR; 20+ years ago I said I'd travel there is something happen
15:52 schestowitz-TR; now with covid and post 9/11... very improbable
15:53 schestowitz-TR; even just the latter (travel got very unpleasant)
15:53 schestowitz-TR; when I was a kid flights were FUN! I looked forwar to the FLIGHTS
15:53 schestowitz-TR; nice food, sofa-like cushions
15:53 schestowitz-TR; passengers with manners
15:53 schestowitz-TR; when they turn off the light, quiet
15:53 schestowitz-TR; like in the cinema
15:55 schestowitz-TR; planes, my mom told me, reserve some seats for ewmergenices like funerals
15:55 schestowitz-TR; like when she flew to one
15:55 schestowitz-TR; I am probably forgetting whose... maybe her dad's
15:55 schestowitz-TR; coming back from holiday
15:56 schestowitz-TR; (yes, it was her dad's... and her dad told her not to go on holiday that time...
15:56 schestowitz-TR; so she felt guilt after that)
16:02 schestowitz-TR; ===
16:02 schestowitz-TR; they put my mom on an overbooked flight
16:02 schestowitz-TR; and caused stress for both of us
16:02 schestowitz-TR; iirc, that was either jet2 or easyjet
16:02 schestowitz-TR; I wrote about it in my blog around 2014
16:02 schestowitz-TR; vis-a-vis, why NOT to fly anymore
16:02 schestowitz-TR; with practice like these, airlines should go under
16:02 schestowitz-TR; michael west does s aseries of articles about quantas right now
16:02 schestowitz-TR; like hos bailout money got sent to a chinese contractors
16:02 schestowitz-TR; so aussies basically subsidise some foreign fiurm that takes Aussie jobs
16:02 schestowitz-TR; offshore
16:02 schestowitz-TR; in my last flight, berlin, they put us on temporary 'airport' anc charge airport fees as if we were getting served
16:02 schestowitz-TR; and there were a lot of annoying delays and not even enough setas in whgich to wait for the plane... for hours
16:02 schestowitz-TR; many passengers literally just sat on the dirty floor

16:07 schestowitz-TR; trip-=strip - many punchline possible along those lines
16:08 Techrights-sec2; it's about establishing demeaning, dehumanizing behavior and normalizing
16:08 Techrights-sec2; that kind of treatment throughout society
16:10 schestowitz-TR; Ring has many punchlines associated with it now
16:10 schestowitz-TR; with "spy meters" they keep trying new pressure atctics
16:10 schestowitz-TR; now they phone us to scare us
16:10 schestowitz-TR; maybe one day the water companies (treatment companies) will save that "to save water"

16:18 schestowitz-TR; icbm pays fedora volunteers with panda NFTs (the community is too dead to get any, pocock had many "badges"
16:18 schestowitz-TR; and they still took lawyers to crush his voice)
16:18 schestowitz-TR; gulag poays in search rankings
16:18 schestowitz-TR; microsoft pays for you to open the gates to the trojan horse where you work/ed
16:18 schestowitz-TR; apropos, david stenberg
16:18 schestowitz-TR; *daniel
16:18 schestowitz-TR; i think you saw my post from last night
16:18 schestowitz-TR; I could not help myself any longer
16:18 schestowitz-TR; he's boapsting about the 'charity' Microsoft(TM)
16:18 schestowitz-TR; his blog is full of this shit
16:18 schestowitz-TR; sweden lost many citizens who left as they felt like the country had become us proxy
16:18 schestowitz-TR; I started hearing this around 2004/5
16:18 Techrights-sec2; ack
16:18 Techrights-sec2; stenberg is selling out for so very little
16:18 Techrights-sec2; I saw his blog post and, yes, your post
16:18 Techrights-sec2; Sweden is where Bill Gates personally invente The Internet don't you know?
16:33 schestowitz-TR; at least Microsoft sent the message to Daniel via a "She/her" booster
16:33 schestowitz-TR; because nothing says "progressive" like a bunch of criminals and thugs
16:33 schestowitz-TR; i did mention daniel's history of not getting us visa
16:33 schestowitz-TR; for some really bizarre reasons
16:33 schestowitz-TR; I don't even wish to speculate if encryption was in some way connected to it
16:33 schestowitz-TR; given stories I heard of people who develop their own ciphers
16:33 schestowitz-TR; and the menacing treatment they receive for it
16:33 schestowitz-TR; "the invisible threat"
16:33 schestowitz-TR; or "fear of the invisiblke" rathere
16:33 schestowitz-TR; like a couple of manunian who withdraw money once a year and pay for everything with cash
16:33 schestowitz-TR; *mancuinians
16:33 schestowitz-TR; and wear masks in summer 2022
16:33 schestowitz-TR; the mostly deadly covid19 by far so far...
16:33 schestowitz-TR; most deadly SUMMER
16:33 schestowitz-TR; I posted the numberc comparatively
16:35 Techrights-sec2; yes I recall that
16:35 Techrights-sec2; no idea
16:35 Techrights-sec2; he never wrote a retrospective analysis
16:37 schestowitz-TR; maybe I should do another post about it
16:37 schestowitz-TR; because the numbers got very ugly this month
16:37 schestowitz-TR; (covid19)
16:37 schestowitz-TR; re stenberg, he wrote a long and highly cited post detailing the chronology of his passport ordeal maybe 3 years aog
16:37 schestowitz-TR; when he finally, very belatedlky, got one
16:37 schestowitz-TR; no idea why he even bothered tbh
16:37 schestowitz-TR; the time wasting on such flights can be used to DeleteGithub or GiveUpGitHub sans stupid hashtags
16:37 schestowitz-TR; also the time he wastes tweeting and bragging about ShitHub "stars"
16:37 schestowitz-TR; I didn't take screenshots of those rave posts
16:37 schestowitz-TR; using Microsoft metrics for showoff
16:37 Techrights-sec2; yes but I never saw an explanation for the delay or why he bothered
16:37 Techrights-sec2; maybe if we send him some t-shirts and the occasional envelope of petty cash
16:37 Techrights-sec2; he'll change his tune (again)
16:39 schestowitz-TR; he even boasted about some stupid Microsoft NFT
16:39 schestowitz-TR; something about the space mission
16:39 schestowitz-TR; everyone got a "arctic vault" NFT
16:39 schestowitz-TR; he wrote some blog or several blog posts to brag about this crap
16:39 schestowitz-TR; legitimising the prison
16:39 schestowitz-TR; with its worthless NFTs
16:39 schestowitz-TR; anyway, I'll do a summer to summer comparison now.. covid19
16:39 schestowitz-TR; I startt work i 1 hours
16:49 schestowitz-TR; this should be interesting
16:49 schestowitz-TR; it always echoes what happens in other nations
16:49 schestowitz-TR; as the policies on this mater tend to get 'harmonised'
16:49 schestowitz-TR; cansscading down for rogue states
16:49 schestowitz-TR; regulatory capture
16:49 schestowitz-TR; then inherited outwards
16:49 schestowitz-TR; <techrights-news> UK 200,000 COVID-19 Deaths Was One Month Ago, Based on New Figures https://schestowitz.com/Weblog/archives/2022/07/23/uk-200000-covid-19-deaths/
16:49 -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-schestowitz.com Blog Archive UK 200,000 COVID-19 Deaths Was One Month Ago, Based on New Figures
16:50 Techrights-sec2; ack
16:50 Techrights-sec2; 'harmonization' is used to ratchet down draconian and misdesigned laws
16:50 Techrights-sec2; one of the worst examples is copyright
16:50 Techrights-sec2; it;s the thin edge of the wedge in cases like that, the rogue states have
16:50 Techrights-sec2; little overt influence but changes for the worse there can still be leveraged
16:50 Techrights-sec2; elsewhere. However it is more common in recent decades for ostensibly
16:50 Techrights-sec2; democratic governments to allow corporations to engage in secret negotiations
16:50 Techrights-sec2; ^secret, binding
16:50 Techrights-sec2; on their behalf and then rubberstamp the results
16:51 schestowitz-TR; UPC
16:53 Techrights-sec2; UPC reminds me of EPC; When you write EPC, be sure to annotate whether
16:53 Techrights-sec2; you are referring to The European Patent Convention or something else.
16:53 Techrights-sec2; It is not always obvious from the context, and those less familiar with
16:53 Techrights-sec2; the topics will probably not guess right
16:53 schestowitz-TR; UPC
16:53 schestowitz-TR; \
16:54 schestowitz-TR; the choice of names is intentioanlly bad
16:54 schestowitz-TR; EU
16:54 schestowitz-TR; Community
16:54 schestowitz-TR; Unity
16:54 schestowitz-TR; \
16:54 schestowitz-TR; unified
16:54 schestowitz-TR; unitary
16:54 schestowitz-TR; and something that sounds like EPC
16:54 schestowitz-TR; but is in fact a complete violation of the EPC
16:54 schestowitz-TR; these are lawyers
16:54 schestowitz-TR; they know best how to lie and
16:54 schestowitz-TR; how to get away with the lie
16:54 schestowitz-TR; and make it seem plausible they didn't mean to mislead
16:54 Techrights-sec2; Yes of course, M$ does a lot of the same
16:54 Techrights-sec2; "plausible deniability" strikes again
16:56 schestowitz-TR; Miguel did this to MAUI
16:56 schestowitz-TR; mexican devs who actually LOVE GNU/Linux
16:56 schestowitz-TR; and make a distro
16:56 schestowitz-TR; nitrux
16:56 schestowitz-TR; I still await some court/case-connected material collected as evidence
16:56 schestowitz-TR; it can explain what happened to nat and miguel
16:56 schestowitz-TR; patience is a virtue here to avoid publishing unverified material or speculations
16:57 Techrights-sec2; excellent
16:57 Techrights-sec2; how long before the court material is available?
16:59 schestowitz-TR; it is avail;able already, but more work is needed
16:59 schestowitz-TR; we do 3 major series atm
16:59 schestowitz-TR; I plan to continue the media opne and epo one tonight
16:59 schestowitz-TR; and failing tonight, tomorrow
16:59 schestowitz-TR; I'm behind on rss feeds and also wait to tyest the new TM site when rianne's shift is finished
16:59 Techrights-sec2; ack
17:01 schestowitz-TR; the github one can run/last until 2023
17:01 schestowitz-TR; at this turtle pace
17:01 schestowitz-TR; publish, test water, get email from the lawyer, carry on
17:01 schestowitz-TR; see what bugs them
17:01 schestowitz-TR; 3 people are very eager to hide the case and get on with it
17:01 schestowitz-TR; as they are too young to be unemployed
17:01 schestowitz-TR; they don't buy discounted foods and some live in super-expensive estates
17:01 Techrights-sec2; ack
17:01 Techrights-sec2; I would guess that their behavior is not unusual for microsofters and
17:01 Techrights-sec2; that enough investigation could kick over the ant nest.
17:05 schestowitz-TR; mr. hololens should have been arested
17:05 schestowitz-TR; mr. gates should have been arrested
17:05 schestowitz-TR; they should not "step down" or asked to leave
17:05 schestowitz-TR; miguel pretend he's some yuppie pensioner
17:05 schestowitz-TR; who do you think he does all day?
17:05 schestowitz-TR; (intel's last CEO should have also been arrestyed, but when did we last see CEO arrest in US of amnesty?)
17:05 schestowitz-TR; at Microsoft, like most places (epo also, plus eupipo, eu, eipo), everything is connected
17:05 schestowitz-TR; the miguel and nat thing is connected to azure too
17:05 schestowitz-TR; they went one suffocation "too far"
17:05 schestowitz-TR; not a "well, he's dead"
17:06 Techrights-sec2; yep
17:06 Techrights-sec2; ack
17:07 schestowitz-TR; clue is also in the header of the shithub series
17:07 schestowitz-TR; "why don't you just kill yourself"
17:07 schestowitz-TR; real sms
17:07 schestowitz-TR; well, messenger, not sms
17:07 schestowitz-TR; who does sms these days?
17:12 Techrights-sec2; afaik the SCO case is still ongoing
17:12 Techrights-sec2; and still sponsored by M$
17:12 Techrights-sec2; MIT as good as killed him
17:12 Techrights-sec2; MIT could have ended the case, heck they could have prevented it from starting
17:12 Techrights-sec2; but they were already in Bill's/Epstein's money by then weren't they?
17:13 schestowitz-TR; debian (spi) spent a fortune tryint to "kill" a site (in reality, just "relocating" all the very ame stories)
17:13 schestowitz-TR; when there are rich sponsors like in sco case trying to eliminate voices and you report every step ytou can prevent that from working
17:13 schestowitz-TR; aaron swartz killed himelf as it would be too expensive to thwart all the charges and his parents would have to sell their home
17:13 schestowitz-TR; iirc, based on what larry lessig had said
17:13 schestowitz-TR; lawyers avail themselves to the rich by making the prpocess more expensive
17:13 schestowitz-TR; and thus favourable to the rich
17:13 schestowitz-TR; faik daniel p did all the work on his won and it was a LOT of work
17:13 schestowitz-TR; like 500-page PDF
17:13 schestowitz-TR; bill has held all the "blue chips" since the late 90s or early 2000s
17:14 Techrights-sec2; probably
17:15 schestowitz-TR; mit wrote a self-arse-covering report both for itself/bill and for itself/jstor
17:15 schestowitz-TR; "report"
17:15 schestowitz-TR; another INDUSTRY

17:28 schestowitz-TR; now go to the pub
17:28 schestowitz-TR; you can't save our grandparents
