15:54 schestowitz-TR; put away, covered, bicycle and garden furnishing till march or thereabouts
15:54 schestowitz-TR; we did manage to find some foods, but finding discounts got very hard
15:54 schestowitz-TR; and not as good, either
15:54 schestowitz-TR; still doable
15:54 schestowitz-TR; also got in the post a letter about further big increases in energy prices
15:54 schestowitz-TR; despite modest decreses in usage we expect price to be double in a matter of 2 years
15:54 schestowitz-TR; if one has a car (petrol) and children, this is magnified bya lot
15:54 schestowitz-TR; and car ownership if connected to kids as they cannot walk long distances
15:54 schestowitz-TR; based on what I read and hear, we are lucky
15:54 schestowitz-TR; the vindication is there, some mistakes cannot be undone
16:04 schestowitz-TR; ---
16:04 schestowitz-TR; several points
16:04 schestowitz-TR; 1) fruit is hard to find at low prices since months ago
16:04 schestowitz-TR; not related to covid-19, maybe brexit lost us fruit pickers and imports
16:04 schestowitz-TR; 2) we did check prices of energy from other supplers earlier this year; turns out ours is already at the lower scale, maybe cheapest
16:04 schestowitz-TR; 2a) our friends who are a couple pay more than double
16:04 schestowitz-TR; 2b) i turn off some things now when afk (unlike before)
16:04 schestowitz-TR; 3) yesterday in irc i said that the more "sophisticated" (didn't say smart; the word became misleading) a car gets
16:04 schestowitz-TR; the more expensive or hard it is to repair
16:04 schestowitz-TR; some you can no longer tweak or fix yourself like a bicycle (like getting some parts off ebay, unscrewing etc)
16:04 schestowitz-TR; 4) apropos, i read (quickly) the link about finland importing liquified russian gas
16:04 schestowitz-TR; they are so desperate they literally subsidise an aggressive, insane neighbour
16:04 schestowitz-TR; bu t worry not, microcloth will warm up the homes
16:04 schestowitz-TR; by running some datacentres (pentagon spying apparatus) on solar ;-) in winter ;-) it runs on air!!
16:04 schestowitz-TR; 5) mechanics are dishonest also because few are independent
16:05 schestowitz-TR; they are pressured to meet "targets"
16:05 schestowitz-TR; and the agencies are connected to the makers, which cannot sell many "new products" so instead milk existing clientele
16:05 schestowitz-TR; like apple sending price on a steep spike because they cannot sell many anymore (so price unit changed, or "app" ... 'maintenance')
16:05 schestowitz-TR; of course they blame "supply chain" to buy time from impatient shareholders... like how FB's shares tanked
16:05 schestowitz-TR; impacts morale, too
16:05 schestowitz-TR; the price of energy is no laughing matter
16:05 schestowitz-TR; to some people they say it is "eye-watering"
16:05 schestowitz-TR; "I CAN'T PAY IT *looking for shouldee rto cry on*"
16:05 schestowitz-TR; so we practice reducing usage and reusing energy
16:05 schestowitz-TR; like cooking more things at once in a smaller oven
16:05 schestowitz-TR; making showers shorter (gas-based boiler)
16:05 schestowitz-TR; from what I saw, our energy suppler changed the rate for electricty from 17/unit about 2 years ago to 32 or 35
16:05 schestowitz-TR; i don't watch gas closely; gas is used a lot less here (only water heating)
16:05 schestowitz-TR; i think that's all for now
16:05 schestowitz-TR; I still put finance news in the main TR channel as it is an urgent matter
16:05 schestowitz-TR; I added number above to make referencing easier
16:05 Techrights-sec; ack
16:07 schestowitz-TR; now the news cycle talks about making cities more efficient
16:07 schestowitz-TR; to avert any discussion of cities being massive consumers of energy partly because they're a massive concentration
16:07 schestowitz-TR; of "human biomass"
16:07 schestowitz-TR; which needs heat and more... food.. fertiliser, transport...
16:07 schestowitz-TR; the only solution sounds like incitement to genocide rather than birth control
16:14 schestowitz-TR; maybe if we use terms like "biomass" (like ants) for dramatic effect
16:15 schestowitz-TR; people will start paying more attention
16:15 schestowitz-TR; I wonder what % of mammels is humans who cannot even warm themselves where they reside or easily overheat in summar
16:15 schestowitz-TR; *summer
16:15 schestowitz-TR; the queen is now dead (we will need to cash in our 2000 or so in coins!)
16:15 schestowitz-TR; so delusions of grandeur go away
16:15 schestowitz-TR; the suffering is coming home, too
16:15 schestowitz-TR; coming home to roost
16:15 schestowitz-TR; starting with domestic "peasants" and plebs
16:15 schestowitz-TR; they will not tolerate the parasites at the top
16:15 schestowitz-TR; they will pass more laws
16:15 schestowitz-TR; to us, the digital laws are relevant
16:20 Techrights-sec; ack
16:20 Techrights-sec; much of the privatized car ownership will have to be eliminated from the cities
16:20 Techrights-sec; and even for visitors to the cities if things are to balance in time
16:20 schestowitz-TR; decimated too
16:20 schestowitz-TR; or more public transport
16:20 schestowitz-TR; for families it means being better balanced on budget and more robust to changes in prices
16:20 schestowitz-TR; i think by year's end not many publishers will stay
16:20 schestowitz-TR; eff is becoming a "big business" lobby like LF
16:20 schestowitz-TR; they don't do what they were meant to do
16:20 schestowitz-TR; to survive they get absorbed by the enemy
16:20 schestowitz-TR; like canonical with GAFAM
16:20 schestowitz-TR; and then they say "success"
16:20 schestowitz-TR; while disgusted people walk away
16:20 schestowitz-TR; like happened to novell
16:20 Techrights-sec; I wonder if or how long the FreeBSD foundation or even the OpenBSD Foundation
16:20 Techrights-sec; can hold out before following the sell-out model that the EFF and LF have
16:20 Techrights-sec; chosen to follow.
16:23 schestowitz-TR; LF is already imploding a bit
16:23 schestowitz-TR; part of that is a lack of events, due to covid-19
16:23 schestowitz-TR; 40 million a year iirc
16:23 schestowitz-TR; and they have no grassroots support anymore
16:23 schestowitz-TR; so they will suck up harder and hardeer to github etc.
16:26 Techrights-sec; One of the things that the FreeBSD Foundation has worked hard at is to ensure
16:26 Techrights-sec; that there are many small donors, too, not just big ones. They may not be
16:26 Techrights-sec; the source of the most money but they seem to be enough, for now, to prevent
16:26 Techrights-sec; some of the less scrupulous donord from walking all over the project and looting
16:26 Techrights-sec; it.
16:26 Techrights-sec; There were two relevant (old) articles linked to today or yesterday regarding
16:26 Techrights-sec; the danger of M$ GitHub to projects and to the community in general.
16:40 Techrights-sec; I'd rather the LF expel the microsofters, microsoft apologists, and
16:40 Techrights-sec; GPL-abusers in a reform. I recall about 10 years ago, Linus gave that
16:40 Techrights-sec; famous Q&A session where he swore at Nvidia and then commented about the GPL
16:40 Techrights-sec; choice being his best decision ever. Giving the finger to Nvidia on camera
16:40 Techrights-sec; got a lot of attention, but his bosses at LF, and their bosses, probably
16:40 Techrights-sec; decided that they would have to do him in over the GPL support at that point.
16:40 Techrights-sec; Bruce Perens pointed out that the LF had become more or less a GPL infringers'
16:40 Techrights-sec; club.
16:40 schestowitz-TR; LF does damage
16:41 schestowitz-TR; so we need to reciprocate the damage
16:43 Techrights-sec; They are helping Google / Alphabet and M$ to render the kernel moot.
16:43 Techrights-sec; The latter through restricted boot and OEM monopolies, the former through
16:43 Techrights-sec; their monopoly on smartphones and similar devices which, once the courts clear,
16:43 Techrights-sec; will move quickly to Fuchsia.
16:43 schestowitz-TR; seconds ago, while multitasking, I added an update abour Framework Chromebook
16:43 schestowitz-TR; some people who tried that said it sucked
16:44 schestowitz-TR; not sure they really tried it hands-on
16:44 schestowitz-TR; and they were in a podcast connected to Microsofters
16:44 schestowitz-TR; so maybe just the usual badmouthing
16:44 schestowitz-TR; like wsl boosting
16:44 schestowitz-TR; this week you can really see who's serious about 'linux'
16:44 schestowitz-TR; and who is a pretender or totally clueless (wsl trash)
16:44 Techrights-sec; Framework has gotten otherwise good reviews
16:44 Techrights-sec; so unless there is something specific to ChromeOS I am suspicious of such
16:44 Techrights-sec; outlier reviews.
16:44 Techrights-sec; Canonical is no longer serious.
16:46 schestowitz-TR; framework and several toehrs are subsidised by someones
16:46 schestowitz-TR; to seed faker reviews
16:46 schestowitz-TR; I could name others, but not important for irc (informal)
16:47 schestowitz-TR; it's very easy to tell when a review is real
16:47 schestowitz-TR; phoronix quit being serious
16:47 schestowitz-TR; i was thinking today when cycling that all those that are funded by VC and ebt
16:47 schestowitz-TR; they will be forced to sell out
16:47 schestowitz-TR; even against their will
16:47 schestowitz-TR; ads, corporate cash, anytrhing!
16:47 schestowitz-TR; they are not REALLY in chargwe in any sense
16:47 schestowitz-TR; like om malik (gigaom)
16:47 schestowitz-TR; maybe they dislike their own decisions
16:47 schestowitz-TR; maybe linus still doesn't trust rust
16:47 Techrights-sec; Yes, the loss of Phoronix was sad.
16:47 Techrights-sec; VC tends to insist on sw patents, iirc
16:47 Techrights-sec; and almost prefer liquidation / bankruptcy to a successful launch
16:47 Techrights-sec; Maybe it's less work or less paperwork or a faster, but smaller, return on
16:47 Techrights-sec; the investment.
16:48 schestowitz-TR; maybe the goal is all along a shutdown
16:48 schestowitz-TR; need to chase the financial chain
16:58 Techrights-sec; Yeah pump-and-dump is an accepted tactic by some. IPO-and-crash is a variant.
17:01 schestowitz-TR; got KGs of soft mozarella cheese today almost quarter price
17:01 schestowitz-TR; any saving can be used to sustain the sites
17:01 schestowitz-TR; but it takes more effort to find these
17:01 schestowitz-TR; we checked small fridges last weekend
17:01 schestowitz-TR; but they are expensive to buy, even "on the cheap"
17:01 schestowitz-TR; and then you pay to operate them
17:01 schestowitz-TR; the rpcies of eggs here is INSANE
17:02 Techrights-sec; Small fridges are very inefficient, energywise. There is an optimal size,
17:02 Techrights-sec; for home use, but that optimal size is substantially larger than 'small'
17:05 schestowitz-TR; ok, we need sauce for some of these
17:05 schestowitz-TR; maybe monday we can get missing ingredients
17:05 schestowitz-TR; we have lots of lasagne sheets in the freezer
17:05 schestowitz-TR; but need more stuff
17:05 schestowitz-TR; I'm going to record in a bit
17:05 schestowitz-TR; news has slowed down for the friday
17:05 schestowitz-TR; i need to produce more articles/day but am struggling
17:05 schestowitz-TR; to make enough time for it
17:05 schestowitz-TR; not too sure why
17:11 schestowitz-TR; i doin't want to sayu lost or wasted time in irc
17:11 schestowitz-TR; but i think it was a big part of that lately
17:11 schestowitz-TR; many still envy a thriving irc channel
17:11 schestowitz-TR; and more so a good irc NETWORK
17:11 schestowitz-TR; it also gives a human cloud to the site
17:11 schestowitz-TR; otherwise iot's a site writing to itself
17:11 schestowitz-TR; and lack of feedback can reduce morale
17:11 Techrights-sec; yes, the IRC *network* part is the most significant aspect. I am saddened
17:11 Techrights-sec; that the EFF and FSF don't have their own or share their own
17:13 schestowitz-TR; i was wrong
17:13 schestowitz-TR; the chef says we do have the neede ingredient
17:13 schestowitz-TR; except the cheese type is not ideal
17:13 schestowitz-TR; it's the one in a bag with water/brine
17:13 schestowitz-TR; we'll see..
17:13 schestowitz-TR; we have too many sheets in the freezer, good opportunity to make space there
17:17 schestowitz-TR; --
17:17 schestowitz-TR; she says ok
17:17 schestowitz-TR; it'll be vegetarian
17:17 schestowitz-TR; we have enough for 2 or more
17:17 schestowitz-TR; i start work in 15 mins
17:17 schestowitz-TR; will still post tm news
17:17 schestowitz-TR; gulag noise (voice, not news) failed to function yesterday
17:17 schestowitz-TR; the asterisk phone is a lot more reliable
17:17 schestowitz-TR; so i wrote in public it's a "broen product"
17:17 schestowitz-TR; *broken
17:17 schestowitz-TR; not my problem, i'm not s shareholder
17:17 schestowitz-TR; they can die in the clown
17:17 schestowitz-TR; "we died, but we did it in style with all the trendy shit'
17:19 Techrights-sec; Louis Rossmann had a recent brief video praising GrapheneOS which he now has
17:19 Techrights-sec; on his phone. He gives an informative review of it.

17:51 schestowitz; "
17:51 schestowitz; Once you've written your first container-based application and have it running in Docker or Podman, you're ready to move to the next level, says Don Schenck. That means multiple applications microservices running within a managed environment, such as Kubernetes.
17:51 schestowitz; In this article, Schenck briefly explains Kubernetes basics, including names, ports, YAML files, secrets, and more.

18:11 -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-Solidigm P41 Plus NVMe SSD Review - Phoronix
18:11 schestowitz; about $300 in gifts
18:11 schestowitz; less than a day's work
18:14 Techrights-sec; ack
18:14 Techrights-sec; :(
18:14 schestowitz-TR; just to be very clear:
18:14 schestowitz-TR; he is NOT returning these
18:14 schestowitz-TR; he keeps them for "just in case"
18:14 schestowitz-TR; future "benchmarks"
18:14 schestowitz-TR; then ebay or whatever
18:16 schestowitz-TR; ---
18:16 schestowitz-TR; i remember when he used to actually buy what he reviwed
18:16 schestowitz-TR; in irc I posted other reecent examples
18:16 schestowitz-TR; sp-called newsa na revie sites
18:16 schestowitz-TR; that even admit upfront they review a product sent to them by the company
18:16 schestowitz-TR; and the review was "sponsored"
18:16 schestowitz-TR; www = disinfo
18:16 schestowitz-TR; another kind of it
18:19 schestowitz-TR; ---
18:19 schestowitz-TR; so you look at marketing basically
18:19 schestowitz-TR; good value for money for these companies
18:19 schestowitz-TR; phoronix is collecitn lots of laptops sent to him
18:19 schestowitz-TR; from all the supposedly "linux" OEMs
18:19 schestowitz-TR; for "benchmarks"
18:19 schestowitz-TR; but AMD was the step too far
18:19 schestowitz-TR; those CPUs are incredible expensive
18:19 schestowitz-TR; he can "liquidate one per 6 months and living off it for 6 months where he is
18:19 schestowitz-TR; IL or Mich. iirc
18:19 schestowitz-TR; *incredibly
18:19 schestowitz-TR; "EPYC"
18:19 schestowitz-TR; and "threadripper"
18:19 schestowitz-TR; even ampere sent him one
18:19 schestowitz-TR; they cost like a car
18:19 Techrights-sec; spiraling into debt to vendors
18:19 Techrights-sec; yes but its not a beneficial relationship for him. They have started him on
18:19 Techrights-sec; a death spiral and are extracting value on his way down. He, in return, gets
18:19 Techrights-sec; little to nothing in exchange for burning his followership.
18:22 schestowitz-TR; the cycle, ime, goes like this
18:22 schestowitz-TR; site gains reputation
18:22 schestowitz-TR; gains following
18:22 schestowitz-TR; faces financial dilemma
18:22 schestowitz-TR; ("i want to do this full time")
18:22 schestowitz-TR; readers chiop in (or supporters, a la fsf)
18:22 schestowitz-TR; then it's not enough
18:22 schestowitz-TR; never enough
18:22 schestowitz-TR; so you signal you need "big bucks"
18:22 schestowitz-TR; you get some
18:22 schestowitz-TR; and then small sponsored feel unnecessary
18:22 schestowitz-TR; and stop funding
18:22 schestowitz-TR; then the site/org is depeendent on the "big money"
18:22 schestowitz-TR; LF used to get money off of people's credit card spendings
18:22 schestowitz-TR; when you reach this last phase you are at the mercy of the wrong entiries
18:22 schestowitz-TR; like christine hall
18:22 schestowitz-TR; asking for MONEY for fossforce like 8 years ago
18:22 schestowitz-TR; raised over $1000
18:22 schestowitz-TR; when kenstarks wrote therer
18:22 schestowitz-TR; now sporting LF spam all over the site
18:23 schestowitz-TR; they planted a flag there
18:23 schestowitz-TR; psydroid2: giftronix
18:26 schestowitz-TR; just checked; half od today'd phoronix articles have no comments
18:26 schestowitz-TR; reminds me of ipwatchdog
18:26 schestowitz-TR; later they start hiding the count
18:26 schestowitz-TR; spamnil started hiding viewcounts too
18:26 schestowitz-TR; just checked
18:26 schestowitz-TR; yes, it's still hidden
18:26 schestowitz-TR; it wasn't like this before
18:26 schestowitz-TR; in youtube he cannot hide # of vieww
18:26 schestowitz-TR; so needs to pay for clickfraud
18:26 schestowitz-TR; checking youtube..
18:26 schestowitz-TR; no videos in 3 days already
18:26 schestowitz-TR; there are videos there for over 1 week with 13 views
18:26 schestowitz-TR; better hurry up with those bots, swap
18:27 Techrights-sec; Again, I say it looks like a goal of the LF is to create animosity against
18:27 Techrights-sec; the brand and degrade the trademark.
18:29 schestowitz-TR; i don't see the framing like this
18:29 schestowitz-TR; rather than ctively attack it
18:29 schestowitz-TR; they milk it
18:29 schestowitz-TR; "monetise it"
18:29 schestowitz-TR; for short-term money-grabbing self-promotiunal purposes
18:29 schestowitz-TR; and the members take a share of the deflation
18:29 schestowitz-TR; as they deflame 30 years of gratis advocacy's value
18:29 schestowitz-TR; apple is still a very powerful brand
18:29 schestowitz-TR; but apple spent many billions lying to people
18:29 schestowitz-TR; so they revere it
18:29 schestowitz-TR; seen it in paid placement in movies etc.
18:29 schestowitz-TR; paid celebs in queues in apple sotres..
18:29 Techrights-sec; That too, the two types of attack are not mutually exclusive.
18:29 Techrights-sec; It is, in part, the organizational equivalent of character assassination so
18:29 Techrights-sec; that no one complains when the plug is pulled.
18:32 schestowitz-TR; wow, spamnil has done clickfruad for 5 months already
18:32 schestowitz-TR; if you go beyond that you see
18:32 schestowitz-TR; 6 months, 13 views lol
18:32 schestowitz-TR; that's like 1 view per 2 weeks
18:32 schestowitz-TR; fleecing firms via LF
18:32 schestowitz-TR; frauds
18:33 Techrights-sec; yep
18:33 schestowitz-TR; open sores
18:37 schestowitz-TR; in hindsight, re brand dilution
18:37 schestowitz-TR; in his video he has a wal with the word "linux" on it
18:37 schestowitz-TR; the show is about proprietary crap
18:37 schestowitz-TR; and the show is done on an apple mac
18:47 Techrights-sec; Yes, one of the goals is to milk the brand while destroying its value and
18:47 Techrights-sec; reputation. With the reputation gone, it cannot come back. With the value gone
18:47 Techrights-sec; no one will be able to afford to try.
18:47 Techrights-sec; Linus is in the unenviable situation where his imployer is actively working
18:47 Techrights-sec; against him and working to eradicate his past, present, and future work.
18:48 schestowitz-TR; works
18:48 schestowitz-TR; github
18:48 schestowitz-TR; remember what it does
18:48 schestowitz-TR; commodity under attack
18:49 Techrights-sec; s/work/works/
18:49 Techrights-sec; Yes, that's a general theme everywhere: decommoditization
18:49 Techrights-sec; see also your comments about e-mail protocols earlier
18:49 Techrights-sec; Other areas include productivity software file formats and even GNU/Linux distros, the latter via systemd

19:18 Techrights-sec; There was a blog post recently about FreeBSD and the maneuver to sink
19:18 Techrights-sec; POSIX rather than update it.
19:18 Techrights-sec; Eliminating POSIX was pushed as a good thing by that blogger.
19:18 Techrights-sec; POSIX is far more important than most people know, even among those few that
19:18 Techrights-sec; know of POSIX.
19:20 schestowitz-TR; when many systems can integrate we reduce wasteful coding
19:20 schestowitz-TR; when many systemd bits of shit infect stuff, and get changes every release (weeks apart)
19:20 schestowitz-TR; we have islands and things like ssh can barely work
19:20 schestowitz-TR; no consistent universl rules for file names
19:20 schestowitz-TR; systemd is not controlled by Microsoft
19:20 schestowitz-TR; (now
19:22 schestowitz-TR; <techrights-news> Microsoft-funded 'analyst': "If we normalize projects baiting developers with an open source license to gain traction and switching to a non-open source license to monopolize the returns on that traction, then the logical next step for investors will be skipping that first step entirely." https://redmonk.com/sogrady/2022/09/23/dead-end/

19:25 Techrights-sec; It's the parable of the broken window all over again:
19:25 Techrights-sec; http://bastiat.org/en/twisatwins.html#SECTION_G002
19:25 Techrights-sec; The world benefits when there are commodities and when the effort goes into
19:25 Techrights-sec; growth and improvement and efficiency. A tiny minority benefit, at the cost
19:25 Techrights-sec; of everyone else, when things are not commodities. Some 15 years ago
19:25 Techrights-sec; there was a lot of public and high-level discussion of commodity markets.
19:25 Techrights-sec; Even Nokia chairman Jorma Ollila spoke about the benefits of commodity markets.

22:24 schestowitz; I sent this to rianne. She says she knows him and watched many of his videos.
22:24 schestowitz; What he says is similar to what I've written hundreds of blog posts about, citing the official data, based it on verifiable facts.
