01:51 schestowitz-TR; I am working on series detailing some very explosive leaks in this area
02:00 mjg59_; schestowitz-TR: I rank the growing movement to deny people the ability to accurately describe their gender as a greater threat to society than swpats
02:04 schestowitz-TR; so you adopt thew approach of parking for years, 24/7, in online forums and IRC channels, looking for ways to defame people in Saudi-run (they hate LGBQ) Twitter

02:26 schestowitz-TR; we need your help there, mjg59_
02:26 schestowitz-TR; notice how, for example
02:26 schestowitz-TR; people with NO qualifications in CS were put in charge
02:26 schestowitz-TR; so they focus on BS
02:26 schestowitz-TR; like granting as many patents as possible
02:26 schestowitz-TR; not doing what's good for the profession
02:26 schestowitz-TR; just law firms and and megacorporations
02:26 schestowitz-TR; like your previous employers
02:27 schestowitz-TR; you can use your voice there to help CS
02:27 schestowitz-TR; rather than try to 'hunt down' people who do the heavy lifting for you
02:28 mjg59_; Yes, this is all bad
02:28 schestowitz-TR; thanks for helping
02:28 schestowitz-TR; spread the word
02:28 mjg59_; As is failing to, for instance, recognise that trans men can get pregnant
02:28 schestowitz-TR; these are semantic differences
02:28 schestowitz-TR; I have trans friends
02:29 schestowitz-TR; but I also know how languages work
02:29 schestowitz-TR; like gendered languages
02:29 schestowitz-TR; I speak several
02:29 schestowitz-TR; anyway, we're a technical site
02:29 mjg59_; Do you deny that trans men can get pregnant?
02:29 schestowitz-TR; let's focus on tech
02:29 schestowitz-TR; mjg59_: I focus on real issues atm
02:29 schestowitz-TR; not all that sematics
02:29 schestowitz-TR; *semantics

02:30 mjg59_; You literally raised that topic
02:30 schestowitz-TR; it showed up in my feeds
02:30 mjg59_; And you commented on it. Here.
02:30 schestowitz-TR; anyway, you stalked us here all day
02:30 schestowitz-TR; looking for "dirt" opportunisties
02:30 schestowitz-TR; that's pathetic tbh
02:30 schestowitz-TR; and a sign of a feeble mind
02:30 schestowitz-TR; to spend so much time on this
02:31 schestowitz-TR; bbl
02:31 schestowitz-TR; got better things to do...
02:31 schestowitz-TR; before the bulletin cutoff at 2:35am
02:31 mjg59_; schestowitz-TR: An easy thing for you to say here would be "Oh, right, I hadn't considered that - I understand why they would use this terminology"
02:32 mjg59_; But instead you become defensive
02:32 schestowitz-TR; naa..
02:32 schestowitz-TR; anyway, back later
02:32 schestowitz-TR; really have deadline due to bulletin
02:32 schestowitz-TR; all this genderphobia is not our focus anyway
02:32 schestowitz-TR; even in this channel it's just a like a minror one liner
02:33 schestowitz-TR; you cherry pick and dirt-dig
02:33 schestowitz-TR; which is pathetic and petty
02:37 mjg59_; I think you failing to understand that trans men get pregnant is actually pretty important
02:37 schestowitz-TR; I can assure you I'm busier than most people, and hard-working, I don't stalk IRC channels all day long. Might be indicative of need for psychotherapy. You could get a lot more done elsewhere
02:37 schestowitz-TR; you are changing the subject
02:37 schestowitz-TR; and dwell on it
02:37 schestowitz-TR; \bbl
02:37 schestowitz-TR; enough of this
02:38 schestowitz-TR; more than 90% of women on the world do not side with you
02:39 mjg59_; Do not side with me on what topic?
02:40 mjg59_; It's a pretty obvious fact that trans men get pregnant
02:41 schestowitz-TR; damn, I missed bulletin deadline
02:41 schestowitz-TR; because of youi
02:41 schestowitz-TR; I'lkl just ignore you from now on
02:42 schestowitz-TR; the post didn't make it to today's bulletin
02:44 mjg59_; You could have just ignored me until you'd done the bulletin, there's no requirement that IRC be synchronous
02:44 mjg59_; Instead it just comes across as you not wanting to explain what you meant

08:50 Techrights-sec2; thanks
08:50 Techrights-sec2; the update of the feeds and such needs to be automated. Cron is not the
08:50 Techrights-sec2; way to go for that. I wonder if wrapper scripts are the way to go
08:50 Techrights-sec2; or if incron should be used to watch the whole /n hiearchy or something else.
08:53 schestowitz-TR; gm
08:53 schestowitz-TR; yes, I was gonna say,
08:53 schestowitz-TR; it seems like adding update steps as a manual thing would increase overhead
08:53 schestowitz-TR; maybe not for a small site with few updates but one with 50+ updates per day
08:53 schestowitz-TR; where speed matters a lot
08:53 schestowitz-TR; I've sent Marius some details, will check my email tonight
08:53 schestowitz-TR; btw, he can do pgp, as it's protonmail
08:53 schestowitz-TR; not that I trust protonmail much after what they did to the climate activist
08:54 Techrights-sec2; gm
08:54 Techrights-sec2; ack
08:54 Techrights-sec2; Perhaps wrapper scripts are the way to go.
08:56 Techrights-sec2; However, I will test incron too
08:56 Techrights-sec2; By the way, the posts don't have the date in the body, I suppose they should.
08:56 Techrights-sec2; The date is in the URL and the metadata but not in the body text
08:56 schestowitz-TR; I've noticed that
08:56 schestowitz-TR; the URL says the date
08:56 schestowitz-TR; the page does not
08:57 Techrights-sec2; It might help a bit with Gemini to have the date also in the body text
08:57 Techrights-sec2; Shoul it be yyyy-mm-dd (ISO) or just mm/dd or mmm dd ? I think maybe the
08:57 Techrights-sec2; last one is the least ambiguous
08:58 schestowitz-TR; year matters as well as it gives context, age of news
08:58 schestowitz-TR; some sites say x "years ago"
08:58 schestowitz-TR; for those who find the articlss and need to be reminded these may be well out of date
08:58 Techrights-sec2; ok that make sense

10:36 schestowitz-TR; I see that clickfraud spamnil has taken the fraud up another notch. Linux Foundation subsides fraud.
10:37 schestowitz-TR; now he buts clicks within 1-2 days of publication
10:37 schestowitz-TR; to cover up what a sham that channel is
10:37 schestowitz-TR; gulag might be tolerating it because it's not a "big" channel
10:37 schestowitz-TR; or, like twitter or FB, it makes them look "big"
10:38 schestowitz-TR; Linux Foundation defrauds people. It damages the "Linux" brand. http://techrights.org/2022/06/08/lf-defrauding-clients/
10:38 -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-techrights.org | New Lows: Linux Foundation Defrauding Clients | Techrights
10:39 Techrights-sec2; yep, I still say it is part of a planned campaign to run the brand into the
10:39 Techrights-sec2; ground
10:39 Techrights-sec2; they could have easily afforded to keep the actual journalists around and
10:39 Techrights-sec2; let them continue writing
10:44 schestowitz-TR; nearly done now with links file
10:44 schestowitz-TR; i think we can do the part about security and microsoft media moles
10:44 schestowitz-TR; you found 2 windows tco stories
10:44 schestowitz-TR; i need to think of a suitable clustering pipeline or style for new tuxmachines
10:44 schestowitz-TR; if you can think of a more effective one from a reader's POV
10:44 schestowitz-TR; like, it would be nioce is updated posts would have the update on TOP, then bubble up or get "bumped" to top of rss feed
10:44 schestowitz-TR; as this is one approach to dealing with same story, many sources, coming at different times and adding up
10:44 schestowitz-TR; mainstream "news" sites have a very poor handling or emerging, changing stories
10:44 schestowitz-TR; and then they turn to twitter etc.
10:44 schestowitz-TR; which is worse
10:44 schestowitz-TR; it means their site becomes fragmented across platforms
10:44 schestowitz-TR; just like the comments
10:44 schestowitz-TR; imaging if you boarded a train and they sent you journey updates via Saudi Twitter
10:44 schestowitz-TR; just imagine...
10:44 Techrights-sec2; having it on top would entail tracking the hours too
10:44 Techrights-sec2; it can be done, but would require quite a bit of reworking various pieces and
10:44 Techrights-sec2; parts
10:44 Techrights-sec2; the scotland train incident was because the company decide not to notify its
10:44 Techrights-sec2; passengers and instead tried to pretend that a "tweet" was as good as an
10:44 Techrights-sec2; official announcement
10:46 schestowitz-TR; that also vainly assumes people carry around tracking devices with "notifications" turned on, an "app", and "follow" the private company
10:46 schestowitz-TR; when the analogue alternatives are SO much better
10:46 schestowitz-TR; here, with nhs, the old skool methods are usually still available
10:46 schestowitz-TR; like phonecall, not "text"
10:46 schestowitz-TR; visits, no web sites
10:46 schestowitz-TR; but I hope it'll stay that way
10:49 Techrights-sec2; there is pressure to eliminate reliable methods and several directions of
10:49 Techrights-sec2; presure to steer people into social contol media
10:52 schestowitz-TR; so we need to embolden and grow a counter movememn
10:52 schestowitz-TR; so large that the shitty firms cannot afford to ignore the needs of peopl
10:52 schestowitz-TR; and receive lengthy complaints like a bunch I submitted last year
10:52 schestowitz-TR; it's costing them a lot of money
10:52 schestowitz-TR; to me it costs only time
10:52 schestowitz-TR; I'm not salaries to do it
10:52 schestowitz-TR; but you can estimate they spent hours or dozens of hours of managers' time
10:52 schestowitz-TR; on each such incident
10:52 schestowitz-TR; manchester town hall, that yorkshire medical thing, BT...
10:52 schestowitz-TR; so they learn not to f* with people for piuurely economic reasons
10:52 schestowitz-TR; it is the only language these "suits" understand... money
10:55 *britney has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s)
10:57 Techrights-sec2; ack
10:57 Techrights-sec2; but now that a critical mass of people are addicted to social control
10:57 Techrights-sec2; media it is far easier for the corporations to manipulate their opinions
10:57 Techrights-sec2; especially because most mistake it for having anything to do with communication
10:57 schestowitz-TR; let's not overestimate
10:57 schestowitz-TR; a) how many people use it
10:57 schestowitz-TR; b) how many people are addictaed to it
10:57 schestowitz-TR; in the globe, maybe it's 20% for (a)
10:57 schestowitz-TR; and 5% of (b)
10:57 schestowitz-TR; but they are vocal
10:57 schestowitz-TR; and some are politicians
10:57 schestowitz-TR; the average farmer doesn't give a shit
10:57 schestowitz-TR; so we need to lean on those 80% to keep some things as they ar,e e.g. paper voting
10:57 schestowitz-TR; and purchases in person, with cash etc.
10:57 schestowitz-TR; it's a yuppie western thing to pay "contactless" with a "phone"
10:57 schestowitz-TR; few people do this
10:57 Techrights-sec2; vocal and prominently placed in positions of authority, all too often

13:04 Techrights-sec2; list (DL) in the file latest-news.html
13:04 schestowitz-TR; rianne would not like to write summaries and afaik linuxtoday and lxer just quote a portion from the article as the outline
13:04 schestowitz-TR; so for a site that linsk to other sites that field is an enigma
13:06 Techrights-sec2; ack
13:06 Techrights-sec2; it
13:06 Techrights-sec2; it's not so much an enigma but instead value added, a reason to follow TM
13:06 schestowitz-TR; I wonder if the alga that inputs freeform text, tidied, from nano, can then derive something to be adopted for desc if desc is left blank
13:07 Techrights-sec2; rather than just use the linked site's feed.
13:07 Techrights-sec2; It could, if there were some level of predictability about what ends up in
13:07 Techrights-sec2; the body
13:10 *Despatche (~desp@u3xy9z2ifjzci.irc) has joined #boycottnovell
13:11 Techrights-sec2; The description can be short, a one-liner. It does add a lot of usefulness
13:11 Techrights-sec2; to the feed and the ability to work with the records to produce pages.
13:11 schestowitz-TR; if I understand, this shows up in
13:11 schestowitz-TR; a) latest news
13:11 schestowitz-TR; b) rss feeds
13:11 schestowitz-TR; c) not in the page?
13:13 Techrights-sec2; a) latest-news (inserted into each page above the footer)
13:13 Techrights-sec2; b) the Atom feed
13:13 Techrights-sec2; c) the search engine results (iirc) for each post, if they get indexed
13:14 schestowitz-TR; i see
13:14 schestowitz-TR; 50 one liners a day is still a lot of lines to proofread ;-) and harder for rianne
13:14 schestowitz-TR; many pages are clusters of links correlated to one another for that day
13:16 Techrights-sec2; Yes, I understand. The site can be done without them, I am for now presenting
13:16 Techrights-sec2; the case for how they can be valuable. Then the description for a link
13:16 Techrights-sec2; cluster would say more or less that. There's no reason not to re-use
13:16 Techrights-sec2; such descriptions over and over
13:16 schestowitz-TR; here is an idea
13:16 schestowitz-TR; for TR, I can add editorial comments to a lot more picks
13:16 schestowitz-TR; and those would be some of the same comments that go as descriptions in TM
13:16 schestowitz-TR; ok, that would work
13:16 schestowitz-TR; rianne can lead it blank sometimes
13:19 Techrights-sec2; Yes
13:19 Techrights-sec2; It's something to consider and only "needs" to be a line. Having that little
13:19 Techrights-sec2; bit of more information helps people know what's at the link shown and
13:19 Techrights-sec2; entices them to click, with more awareness than just random clicking
13:23 Techrights-sec2; Here is an example, see the second entry in the dl
13:23 Techrights-sec2; https://news.tuxmachines.org/n/2022/07/23/Today_in_Techrights.shtml
13:23 -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell- ( status 401 @ https://news.tuxmachines.org/n/2022/07/23/Today_in_Techrights.shtml )
13:38 schestowitz-TR; yes, you sold it to me
13:38 schestowitz-TR; as a way to hit two bird with one stone
13:38 schestowitz-TR; opportunity foreditorial comments and also adding something "new" in TM\
13:38 Techrights-sec2; ok
13:38 schestowitz-TR; I am guessing rianne can leave "-" if she has nothing special to say or use some placeholder text
13:38 schestowitz-TR; I am going to add half a dozen nodes shortly
13:38 schestowitz-TR; to exercise such a workflow
13:38 schestowitz-TR; give me 10 mins, tea is on the hob
13:39 schestowitz-TR; in the day in techrights page I see some unicode was mishandled a little, at least as shown as html
13:39 schestowitz-TR; I've added 3 nodes and am adding some more with descriptions now
13:39 schestowitz-TR; tried to refresh the pages, probably ran the wrong commands (outdated)
13:41 Techrights-sec2; which URL?
13:42 schestowitz-TR; https://news.tuxmachines.org/n/2022/07/23/Today_in_Techrights.shtml
13:47 Techrights-sec2; checking
13:47 Techrights-sec2; It seems to be that way in the original body in the database.
13:47 schestowitz-TR; so the issue might be at terminal/alpine/console/data entry/clipboard
13:47 schestowitz-TR; I will try to pay close attention
13:47 schestowitz-TR; you can now refresh or add all the new thingsa in the DB
13:47 schestowitz-TR; I've lost track of what command upates which page/.s
13:52 schestowitz-TR; finished adding nodes for now
13:52 schestowitz-TR; inc. proper desc
13:52 schestowitz-TR; I prctices the workflow
13:52 schestowitz-TR; terminal in same page as TM add node
13:52 schestowitz-TR; and passing around the description between 3 windows to recycle the extra effort
13:52 schestowitz-TR; it worked well
13:52 Techrights-sec2; could be, I'm looking into some questions about it
13:52 Techrights-sec2; it seems to get /into/ the database ok, so the problem must be in the other
13:52 Techrights-sec2; script(s)
13:52 Techrights-sec2; excellent
13:55 Techrights-sec2; examining the editing script, it may be an option with tidy
14:11 schestowitz-TR; as a side note, original tuxmmacines cannot and could never handle eoji
14:11 schestowitz-TR; high-0numbered unicode makes it sort of panic and stop processing at the char
14:11 schestowitz-TR; not sure if it'sa DB-level limitation
14:11 schestowitz-TR; given the age of that DB
14:11 schestowitz-TR; which in some sense became dead end since xrevan said innodb migration routes were far from trivial
14:11 Techrights-sec2; ack
14:11 Techrights-sec2; ok something does not like any kind of HTML entities in the text, checking further
14:58 schestowitz-TR; editing/updaitng howtos to add new ones
14:58 schestowitz-TR; checking the options
14:58 schestowitz-TR; managed to update
14:58 schestowitz-TR; not sure how to export to html now
14:58 Techrights-sec2; (found yet another difficult utf8 bug, probably with sqlite3)
14:58 Techrights-sec2; export to HTML :
14:58 Techrights-sec2; tm-extract-posts-sql.pl -f -v -d $(date -d '-2 days' +'%F') -s
14:58 Techrights-sec2; the -v is optional and the -f is only needed if updating existing files
15:03 Techrights-sec2; I should wrap it all in a script
15:09 schestowitz-TR; thanks, now it shows up correctly
15:09 schestowitz-TR; what the old site cannot do is, bump updated posts in front page or rss
15:09 schestowitz-TR; this way, insted of ~3 "today's [sic] howtos" per day it can be just one for the day
15:09 schestowitz-TR; with updates that add more links periodically

17:29 Techrights-sec2; either way there are some changes in Git now
17:30 schestowitz-TR; back from 2-hour nap, working till 1am now
17:30 schestowitz-TR; but will catch up with links
17:30 schestowitz-TR; I had dreams working on the beta site
17:30 schestowitz-TR; lots of very detailed dreams

18:45 schestowitz-TR; lun duke doing a onlyfans again
18:45 schestowitz-TR; wasting time write "meta" stuff
18:45 schestowitz-TR; and diluting the signal imho
18:45 schestowitz-TR; as if the blog is about selling subs
18:45 schestowitz-TR; riddle me this
18:45 schestowitz-TR; why did he abandon his OWN site
18:45 schestowitz-TR; for this third party that is obscure and likely proprietary?
18:53 Techrights-sec2; not sure, he's not been firing on all cylinders since before he got sick
18:54 schestowitz-TR; correlated to the mental crisis
18:54 schestowitz-TR; like fianncial etc.
18:54 schestowitz-TR; oir literally brain damagew (physical)?
18:54 Techrights-sec2; probably both
18:56 schestowitz-TR; in a kingdom full of covid-19 recoverees a person without it is in for a helluva time
18:56 schestowitz-TR; or, maybe more competitive, nopt sure
18:56 schestowitz-TR; I've long said it about people who waste their time with "smart" phones
18:56 schestowitz-TR; trying to get "work" done on 5-inch (or smaller) screens
18:56 schestowitz-TR; (saw even a prof friend wasting his time like this, his workstation at uni has 4 screens)
19:00 Techrights-sec2; ack
19:00 Techrights-sec2; one can spend 20 times the time and effort doing a clumsy job on a smartphone
19:00 Techrights-sec2; or else wait until a reasonable computer is available and get the job done
19:00 Techrights-sec2; in a tiny fraction of the time and effort; but then again "smart" phones are
19:00 Techrights-sec2; about engagment and not efficinency or ease of use
19:01 schestowitz-TR; literally 30 secs ago I read Ruben Schade writing about his dreeam where he loses the "phone"
19:01 schestowitz-TR; I had a pattern of dreams before when I enter water with the PDA still inside my pocket
19:01 schestowitz-TR; must have happened hundreds of times, must be a common theme for other people too
19:02 schestowitz-TR; other common dreams: you're back in schools doing exams, needing to attend classes, sometimes showing up barely dressed in thr wrong place, teeth falling out,
19:02 schestowitz-TR; those seem to be rather common themes

20:15 schestowitz-TR; he made it
20:15 schestowitz-TR; just needs some therapy for a while ahead
20:15 schestowitz-TR; so that puts an end to some really bad thoughts I've been having lately
20:15 schestowitz-TR; he wrote a long message directly this time, not via son
20:16 *wallacer has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s)

20:26 Techrights-sec2; excellent. I'm glad to hear he is doing ok,
