4 AM, August 24

04:07 schestowitz-TR2; this is now published

04:07 schestowitz-TR2; will add to the lf wiki

04:07 schestowitz-TR2; it's short, but I nthink of it as pieces of evidednce

04:07 schestowitz-TR2; to let people better understand and decide for themselves who's in charge

04:10 Techrights-sec; thanks

04:10 Techrights-sec; bakkt looks like it could be just a generic pump-and-dump for the VC backers

04:10 Techrights-sec; there's a spike at the IPO and then it trails off into nothing, because like

04:10 Techrights-sec; the 100,000s of similar companies doing the same thing before it, there is

04:10 Techrights-sec; nothing to offer. Classic undergrad business school project, just with

04:10 Techrights-sec; big backers with deep pockets.

04:10 schestowitz-TR2; this passt weekend I concluded it coulkd be a pyramid scheme

04:10 schestowitz-TR2; from suits with harvard MBA

04:11 schestowitz-TR2; like a man who never wrote code and claims to speak for Linux

04:11 schestowitz-TR2; not showing any creds or portfolio

04:11 schestowitz-TR2; he's the "susan boyle" of linux

04:11 Techrights-sec; big backers with deep pockets.

04:11 Techrights-sec; that would be another name for that

04:11 Techrights-sec; the goal is not to make a viable company it is for the VC investors to

04:11 Techrights-sec; keep the illusion alive through to the IPO so that they can "exit"

04:11 Techrights-sec; I don't get the reference, but I do understand he has nothing to do with

04:11 Techrights-sec; helping or even using Linux

04:14 schestowitz-TR2; ok, the reference is british pop

04:14 schestowitz-TR2; regarding zemlin, he is being sued

04:14 schestowitz-TR2; he might not even be aware of it

04:14 schestowitz-TR2; there areother manifestations of that, e.g. at moz

04:14 schestowitz-TR2; being *used

04:14 schestowitz-TR2; not sued

04:15 schestowitz-TR2; the media, the financial backers, the "powerful interests" propped him up

04:15 schestowitz-TR2; like susan boyle (you can look that up)

04:15 schestowitz-TR2; of course it was short-lived

04:15 schestowitz-TR2; but once in power he's easier to control

04:15 schestowitz-TR2; and torvalds gets treated poorly

04:15 schestowitz-TR2; for the finnaicloa,comfort of access to GAFAM+I^2 abnk account

04:15 schestowitz-TR2; the money is very much conditional

04:15 schestowitz-TR2; same for FSF BTW

04:15 schestowitz-TR2; we saw how ibm/red hat blackmailed fsf

04:15 schestowitz-TR2; the mnoney was no donation

04:15 schestowitz-TR2; it was a stake

04:15 schestowitz-TR2; like microsoft buying 5% stake in FB

04:17 Techrights-sec; zemlin's grammar and syntax are inexusably bad for a native speaker and

04:17 Techrights-sec; his poor ability to speak ought to have excluded him from cosideration for

04:17 Techrights-sec; the job at LF

04:17 Techrights-sec; I'm sure he is at least peripherally aware but like most MBA types figures he

04:17 Techrights-sec; can somehow gain the upperhand later if he only puts up with enough abuse now

04:18 schestowitz-TR2; linus' dad is a politician

04:18 schestowitz-TR2; he surely has an opinion on all this

04:18 schestowitz-TR2; and I'd trust his in charge of linux more than his son

04:18 schestowitz-TR2; even if nils still uses windows (he probably uses some android or something), you may be able to checkby downloading videos from his youtube channel

04:18 schestowitz-TR2; and study metadata if gulag does not remove that

04:18 schestowitz-TR2; his dad also knows how the soviets operated

04:18 schestowitz-TR2; zemlin and his slides are a broken reocord

04:18 schestowitz-TR2; if you see enough of them you will see reuse of words with mild redefinement

04:18 schestowitz-TR2; like rms but narrower in scope

04:21 Techrights-sec; they generally don't talk about that (the politicians) because they (and the

04:21 Techrights-sec; microsofters) don't want any public discussion AT ALL of operating systems

04:21 Techrights-sec; they want things nice and soft for the kremlin to continue to have full access

04:21 Techrights-sec; all day every day

04:22 schestowitz-TR2; zemlin does not speak off the record

04:22 schestowitz-TR2; rarely

04:22 schestowitz-TR2; or off script

04:22 schestowitz-TR2; he memorises his stuff

04:22 schestowitz-TR2; see my last video

04:22 schestowitz-TR2; where the slideshow breaks down

04:22 schestowitz-TR2; and he goes on mumbling about WTF????

04:22 schestowitz-TR2; outside his comfort zone

04:22 schestowitz-TR2; he lies about speaking nippon

04:22 schestowitz-TR2; I reckon he was a one-year exchange srtudents many moons ago

04:22 schestowitz-TR2; he also seems to be lying about his family (the cray part for sure!)

04:22 schestowitz-TR2; he and spamnil are alike, imposters who use prior positions to give illusion of creds and experience

04:22 schestowitz-TR2; with no way to trace back to anything meaningul or any technical work. TECHNICAL.

04:22 schestowitz-TR2; I have a boss like this, whom rianne and I dubbed "TheLiar"

04:24 Techrights-sec; nothing shows up except this:

04:24 Techrights-sec; http://falkvinge.net/2013/11/17/nsa-asked-linus-torvalds-to-install-backdoors-into-gnulinux/

↺ http://falkvinge.net/2013/11/17/nsa-asked-linus-torvalds-to-install-backdoors-into-gnulinux/

04:24 Techrights-sec; I was just wondering the other day what happened to Rick, at least his site

04:24 Techrights-sec; is still up

04:24 -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-falkvinge.net | NSA Asked Linus Torvalds To Install Backdoors Into GNU/Linux Falkvinge on Liberty

04:24 schestowitz-TR2; rick told me he had suffered a mental breakdown

04:24 schestowitz-TR2; and had an assistent to help him respond to mail

04:24 schestowitz-TR2; *tant

04:29 Techrights-sec; Rick's main page works but there are few new articles, and both the new and the

04:29 Techrights-sec; old are blocked by javascript and thus inaccessible

04:29 Techrights-sec; A lot of companies use the same tactics, lie and move on to the next job before

04:29 Techrights-sec; the old one collapses and the 'customers' figure out that they've been had.

04:29 Techrights-sec; By that time the new contract is signed and the old one can be dealt with,

04:29 Techrights-sec; usually by keeping all or most of the money/

04:29 Techrights-sec; Yes, he was under a lot of pressure and attacks. I would guess because of

04:29 Techrights-sec; his positive stances on net neutrality, copyright reform, and freedom of

04:29 Techrights-sec; speech / press.

04:29 Techrights-sec; Many powerful interests align to fight any one of those by itself. Rick

04:29 Techrights-sec; was even more dangerous to them by founding a successful party. The party

04:29 Techrights-sec; has since been completely neutralized and, except for a few countries,

04:29 Techrights-sec; exists in name only and does not back any of the founding values.

04:29 Techrights-sec; Engstrm

04:30 schestowitz-TR2; rick and ilk are connected to wikileaks in several ways, so an attack on one weakens the others

04:30 schestowitz-TR2; they peaked 12 years ago

04:35 Techrights-sec; Engstrm and the other MEP capitalized on the coalition-forming nature

04:35 Techrights-sec; of pre-social media EU politics made possible by proportional representation

04:35 Techrights-sec; to align with other parties and make progess

04:35 Techrights-sec; JA was an aquaintance at least of several

04:35 Techrights-sec; ack

04:36 schestowitz-TR2; the lesser militant assange accuser, who was traumatised by hos swedish "police" (with fbi communicado)

04:36 schestowitz-TR2; treated her confession on pre-sex std tests, has since then become a he/him

04:36 schestowitz-TR2; instead of being known for PP work she become synonymous with US empire taking down the press

04:36 schestowitz-TR2; with help of swedish tabloids that pay out bribes

04:36 schestowitz-TR2; i toio would struggle to live with myself, seeing my name associated mostly with that

04:36 schestowitz-TR2; "unplanned" morning "round"

04:36 schestowitz-TR2; the other accuser was a lot nastier and vindicative

04:36 schestowitz-TR2; shamir accusedd her of being connected to cia oiperations in cuba, too

04:36 schestowitz-TR2; maybe the PP girl was just coopted to "bolster" the smear for the next 12+ years

04:36 schestowitz-TR2; ioerror has this "quantity over quality" thing

04:36 schestowitz-TR2; it's making it more laborious to debunk

04:36 Techrights-sec; ack

04:42 schestowitz-TR2; rianen's bday today, I did some drawing

04:42 schestowitz-TR2; i will take a break later, had far too much food yesterday

04:42 schestowitz-TR2; still in need for topics to cover

04:42 schestowitz-TR2; not random shit like "distro x version y released"

04:42 schestowitz-TR2; the news is dry like a sahara desert

04:42 schestowitz-TR2; and if I struggle so badly to find topic while scanning then news all day long

04:42 schestowitz-TR2; I hardly wonder why fossforce became so weird

04:42 schestowitz-TR2; see its latest 3 posts

04:42 Techrights-sec; ack

04:47 schestowitz-TR2; I covered those 3 already :(

04:48 schestowitz-TR2; in videos

04:48 schestowitz-TR2; theory:

04:48 schestowitz-TR2; the industry is in "slowdown"

04:48 schestowitz-TR2; too busy figuring how how to "balance the books"

04:48 schestowitz-TR2; hence, "the world" slowed down

04:48 schestowitz-TR2; the news sites thus lack a purpose

04:48 schestowitz-TR2; they're not being read much anyway

04:48 schestowitz-TR2; EnagagementCorp takes all the "screen time"

04:48 schestowitz-TR2; and so a lot of reporting will be about corporate and societal breakdown

04:48 schestowitz-TR2; if you read the irc logs of the past 4 hours yot will see stuff that really does not belong in the channel

04:48 schestowitz-TR2; but is important nevertheless

04:48 schestowitz-TR2; still rattling to the mind

04:48 schestowitz-TR2; and it seems like a universal thing these days

04:48 schestowitz-TR2; peoople struggle very badly

04:48 schestowitz-TR2; and the state, even if well-meaning, cannot provide the necessary care

04:48 schestowitz-TR2; some misguided nations try to offload that to corporations

04:48 schestowitz-TR2; as if business almioghty can miraculously solve all problem

04:48 schestowitz-TR2; *ms

04:48 schestowitz-TR2; we know that not to be the case, and now with greenwashing and "D&I" we're meant to think pillars of mass scontrol control

04:48 schestowitz-TR2; will somehoe salvage it all and resotre stability

04:48 schestowitz-TR2; which is offensive to common sense

04:53 Techrights-sec; checking, though IRC is not on topic ever

04:53 schestowitz-TR2; re the LE CA scheme, they revoked 3 million certs

04:53 schestowitz-TR2; they specified they were produced wrongly

04:53 schestowitz-TR2; but did not delve into details

04:53 schestowitz-TR2; LE web site = shithub, microsoft

04:53 schestowitz-TR2; LE software/projkecrs = same

04:53 schestowitz-TR2; last night in Daily Links I included a link to latest POS from LF

04:53 schestowitz-TR2; github of course

04:53 schestowitz-TR2; zemlin <3 bill's micro soft

04:53 schestowitz-TR2; sheela <3 harvard degree

04:53 schestowitz-TR2; linux(R) <3 Microsoft

04:53 schestowitz-TR2; Open Source loves Microsoft

04:53 schestowitz-TR2; watch the whole zemlin talk

04:53 schestowitz-TR2; he goes on and on and on and on and on about how we should be humbl;e

04:53 schestowitz-TR2; then check his TED talk

04:53 schestowitz-TR2; or how he brags about the wif'e MBA severasl times

04:53 schestowitz-TR2; what a total caffoon

04:53 schestowitz-TR2; *b

04:53 schestowitz-TR2; he borrows credibility from a lie about his GRANDPA (not dad)

04:53 schestowitz-TR2; which I was unable to verify as true

04:54 schestowitz-TR2; saying he was cofounder of cray

04:54 schestowitz-TR2; it's a lie

04:54 schestowitz-TR2; heck, maybe grandpa was also a liar like him

04:54 schestowitz-TR2; and told him he was a cofounder

04:54 Techrights-sec; could be

04:56 schestowitz-TR2; BBBBBBBBBAAAAAAAAA

04:56 schestowitz-TR2; sorry, mouse

04:56 schestowitz-TR2; I think

04:56 schestowitz-TR2; I have a silly question

04:56 schestowitz-TR2; if there a "pure" political equiovalent

04:56 schestowitz-TR2; of installing intentionalyl incompetent and unqualified people

04:56 schestowitz-TR2; like in EPO or LF?

04:57 schestowitz-TR2; so that they are easier for lobbies to control/threaten?

04:57 schestowitz-TR2; this cannot be a unique thing, but I know some who appoint as heads of justice

04:57 schestowitz-TR2; people who are clearly not fit for the job

04:57 schestowitz-TR2; and then prosecution by courts goes downhill

04:57 schestowitz-TR2; or ideaology trumps law, constitutions etc.

04:57 Techrights-sec; I would guess so

04:59 Techrights-sec; One trend from "reality" tv is to train unskilled and unqualified to gang up on

04:59 Techrights-sec; and tear down those who are much more skilled and or qualified

05:01 schestowitz-TR2; the producers have their own objectievs

05:01 schestowitz-TR2; they do a lot of marketing, usually with "sexy" people, to compel people to watch the show

12:01 schestowitz-TR2; so the shaming of women for dancing is not new

12:01 schestowitz-TR2; they should really just be robots who follow script and obey man, the media insists...

12:01 schestowitz-TR2; look up "aoc dancing"

12:01 schestowitz-TR2; and how aoc responded to the "controversy"

13:00 schestowitz-TR2; irc channel been like 99-mental support the past 12 hours

13:00 schestowitz-TR2; but it'll get back to better topic soon

13:00 schestowitz-TR2; the bot motivates this and don't have an hiatus

13:00 Techrights-sec; :(

13:01 schestowitz-TR2; like saying techrights-news is 'spam'

13:01 schestowitz-TR2; and then talking about shit, literally

13:04 *DaemonFC has quit (Quit: Leaving)

13:13 *psydroid2 (~psydroid@memzbmehf99re.irc) has joined #boycottnovell

13:19 schestowitz-TR2; I stopped it at that

13:19 schestowitz-TR2; now it's better

13:19 schestowitz-TR2; but the worse thing you can do is turen away people who open up and are in tears

13:19 schestowitz-TR2; so not an easy situation

13:19 schestowitz-TR2; like I said, we are united by interest in tech issues

13:19 schestowitz-TR2; but people come from different backgrounds, beliefs, issues...

13:19 schestowitz-TR2; I will research irc shortly

13:19 schestowitz-TR2; and see if there is enough for a video

13:19 schestowitz-TR2; the twitetr wb-er is good news

13:19 schestowitz-TR2; a lot of young people don't trust those companies to manage their comms

13:25 Techrights-sec; ack

13:29 schestowitz-TR2; we both know what can happen if irc regains traction after "leenode"

13:29 schestowitz-TR2; they can associate it with far right/terror/CP/coup

13:29 schestowitz-TR2; so basically the same old shit

13:29 schestowitz-TR2; they can tolerate irc as long as it i a niche

13:29 schestowitz-TR2; but tear it down when things don't go their way (see Parler)

13:29 schestowitz-TR2; at that point, you tell people not to trust MSM

13:29 schestowitz-TR2; and then they lose some influence

13:29 schestowitz-TR2; and buy their way like larry ellison

13:29 schestowitz-TR2; FB boiught many companies already

13:29 schestowitz-TR2; for the same reason microsoft bought shithub

13:29 schestowitz-TR2; it is about control

13:29 schestowitz-TR2; not "Open Source"

13:29 schestowitz-TR2; I don't know the best method to tackle this

13:29 schestowitz-TR2; we don't have capital like theirs

13:29 schestowitz-TR2; but we have higher numbers

13:29 schestowitz-TR2; Daniel P. is being constantly lied about

13:29 schestowitz-TR2; and people who join in are akin to "ritual defamation"

13:29 schestowitz-TR2; bbiab

13:29 schestowitz-TR2; want to do another round of daily links,cannot multitask due to complexity of the task

14:47 schestowitz-TR2; rare, but noteworthy

14:47 schestowitz-TR2; during a routine check saw the gemini proxy was not working

14:47 schestowitz-TR2; had to restart nginx and it's fine

14:47 schestowitz-TR2; does not happen often

17:27 Techrights-sec; ok, I wonder if there was anything loggable ?

17:27 schestowitz-TR2; back from gym

17:27 schestowitz-TR2; did not work out

17:27 schestowitz-TR2; checked the place

17:27 schestowitz-TR2; i told rianne like 30 things, after 15 months not being there

17:27 schestowitz-TR2; but shoty story is, too expensive now to be worth the price

17:27 schestowitz-TR2; still not safe

17:27 schestowitz-TR2; won't be coming back, but negotiaing day out for anniversary next month

17:27 schestowitz-TR2; glyms are not attractive anymore

17:27 schestowitz-TR2; re nginx I did not check logs

17:27 schestowitz-TR2; btw, have you given thought to camelcase in readOn? I could easily do this at my end, but you want that done at server side

6 PM, August 24

18:08 schestowitz-TR2; now that things calmed down a bit workload-wise, more details on gym:

18:08 schestowitz-TR2; I tried on the machines... some sites... all comaptible with their old chrome on android

18:08 schestowitz-TR2; the place cleaned up a bit, replacing rotting stuff

18:08 schestowitz-TR2; but price was 44 pp p/month after discounts last time we renewed

18:08 schestowitz-TR2; now it's 55 and now sure it can go lower

18:08 schestowitz-TR2; that's 25% increase

18:08 schestowitz-TR2; maybe 15% if I argue well, but still too expensive and a risk of infection

18:08 Techrights-sec; yes I was working on some ideas about that earlier today

19:36 Techrights-sec; there is a bug somewhere, such that some records end up with a full XHTML

19:39 Techrights-sec; document in the database body table rather than just the body element

19:39 Techrights-sec; I'm not sure the cause

19:39 Techrights-sec; tidy does that but then the body element should be extracted

19:39 Techrights-sec; the update script seems to remove that so the problem might be with the

19:39 Techrights-sec; add script

19:39 Techrights-sec; oh well. something to keep an eye on

19:39 Techrights-sec; the readon title gets set using the contents of the href attribute now,

19:39 Techrights-sec; if the title is missing or empty

19:40 schestowitz-TR2; oh, excellent

19:40 schestowitz-TR2; is that ready to test now?

19:40 Techrights-sec; no it has been pushed to the production site already

19:40 Techrights-sec; so it's been tested locally here first

19:40 Techrights-sec; I hope there are no bugs added :/

19:41 schestowitz-TR2; the site is static and reproducible from the db

19:41 schestowitz-TR2; gulag already indexed half of it

19:41 schestowitz-TR2; I saw there are already DB dumps from prior days

19:42 Techrights-sec; yes :)

19:42 Techrights-sec; the db is the official version, the static pages are the public export

19:42 Techrights-sec; interesting; which of the old pages are getting promoted like that?

19:45 schestowitz-TR2; you know what they say, better chilli than covid (nobody says that)

19:45 schestowitz-TR2; I still wash everything after going out or bringing stuff in)

19:53 schestowitz-TR2; I've just addded a story by Jussi

19:53 schestowitz-TR2; the title attribute was accomodated with the ffull target url, not the site's name

19:53 schestowitz-TR2; you can see in the live site

19:53 schestowitz-TR2; maybe wrong variable inserted there

19:53 Techrights-sec; oh!

19:53 Techrights-sec; Checking

19:53 Techrights-sec; the module has to be added still

19:54 Techrights-sec; it will be easy enoug to regenerate the pages from the database once the

19:54 Techrights-sec; correct output is achieved

19:55 schestowitz-TR2; the past !50 entries

19:55 schestowitz-TR2; ~50

19:55 schestowitz-TR2; might be enough, so I can at least double-check the output

19:55 schestowitz-TR2; and not trust it "in he blind"

19:55 schestowitz-TR2; *the

19:55 Techrights-sec; the extraction script can take the --all optio

19:57 schestowitz-TR2; yes, it's just "safer" to do with sanity check or supervision at this point

19:57 schestowitz-TR2; knowing that past static pages show up OK and have not been regerated for a long time
