back to Techrights (Main Index)


beginning of new day, September 24

00:27 Techrights-sec; fixed the permissions on /var/log/apache2/

00:27 Techrights-sec; it is now in the group adm

00:27 schestowitz-TR; thanks, i am working on the po stuff atm

00:27 schestowitz-TR; *epo

00:39 Techrights-sec; systemd's goal is non-technical: the decommodification of the distros

00:39 Techrights-sec; a la The Halloween Documents but with IBM this time around rather than only M$

00:39 Techrights-sec; by the way, it might be a good idea to revisit the Halloween Documents next

00:39 Techrights-sec; month. It being October plus what's going on with systemd combine to make

00:39 Techrights-sec; a strong reason.

00:39 Techrights-sec; I'm noticing that even though robots.txt has "Crawl-delay: 10" the "binbot"

00:39 Techrights-sec; and a few others seem to be really bothering tm-new. I have not checked to

00:39 Techrights-sec; see if they are constantly re-downloading the same pages again and again

00:39 Techrights-sec; but at first glance the rate at which they are harvesting implies that.

00:39 Techrights-sec; Should we turn on mod_ratelimit for the bot's addresses?

00:39 Techrights-sec; Or use the option of tc with queuing for the bot's addresses?

00:56 schestowitz-TR; bear with me while i finish the epo staff, avoiding multitasking..

00:56 schestowitz-TR; *stuff

00:56 schestowitz-TR; ok, draft ready

00:56 schestowitz-TR; catching up with ytalk

00:56 schestowitz-TR; wanna spot-check?

00:56 schestowitz-TR; systemd is not the only thing to cause such issues, but it's a large example of it

00:56 schestowitz-TR; I can think of seveal more, inc. some from Canonical

00:56 schestowitz-TR; now with LP at Microsoft and WSL marketing with new slant (systemd) we can point to the Hal Docs

00:56 schestowitz-TR; and show what that means

00:56 schestowitz-TR; probably a big task

00:56 schestowitz-TR; regarding bots, I've not chjecked logs, except that time I mentioned numbers 1-2 weeks ago

00:56 schestowitz-TR; just grepped for shtml and rss/xml

00:57 Techrights-sec; checking

00:57 Techrights-sec; The opening sentence in the summary is confusing.

00:57 Techrights-sec; "The Central Staff Committee of the European Patent Office (EPO)" could be the

00:57 Techrights-sec; start and then leave the "EPO" acronym in the rest.

00:57 Techrights-sec; The second paragraph probably alludes to harassment, bullying, or other illegal

00:57 Techrights-sec; behavior. It would be good to be more specific. "toxic male" is not

00:57 Techrights-sec; a legally actionable fault AFAIK unless it involves an illegal behavior

00:58 schestowitz-TR; right, i will clarfy

00:58 schestowitz-TR; she used a different term, which i quote

00:58 schestowitz-TR; staff remembers what she said

00:58 schestowitz-TR; even many years later

00:58 Techrights-sec; And a word or two about the significance of the two HTML parts would help:

00:58 Techrights-sec; why should the public be interested?


1 AM, September 24

01:00 schestowitz-TR; handing over at work atm (1am)

01:00 schestowitz-TR; i got 1.5 hours left till cutoff (bulletin)

01:00 schestowitz-TR; will reword a bit

01:00 schestowitz-TR; I assumer you saw no typos/layout issues

01:00 schestowitz-TR; it was my first pass

01:00 Techrights-sec; I was looking for the topic and theme

01:01 schestowitz-TR; catching typos as welkl helps

01:01 schestowitz-TR; it's the hioghest priority in blogs, then in irc bot, then informal irc chat

01:01 schestowitz-TR; as people nitpick on such stuff

01:01 schestowitz-TR; to change the subject

01:01 schestowitz-TR; and resort to ad hom

01:05 Techrights-sec; ack

01:05 Techrights-sec; Speaking of bots again, here are some data that bingbot is running amok:

01:05 Techrights-sec; % awk '/bingbot/ && $7~/^\/n\// {a[$7]++} END { for (u in a) {if(a[u]>0){print a[u], u;} } }' /var/log/apache2/tuxmachines.org.access.log | sort -rn

01:05 Techrights-sec; (the >0 can be tuned to a higher threshold)

01:05 schestowitz-TR; thanks, will leave this to you

01:05 schestowitz-TR; am doing handover

01:05 schestowitz-TR; will amend epo article after that

01:05 schestowitz-TR; then do a meme

01:05 schestowitz-TR; btw, did you watch the video on excesss deaths?

01:06 Techrights-sec; In other ways, one can see that those are all GET requests and not HEAD or

01:06 Techrights-sec; if-modified-since requests

01:06 Techrights-sec; No, I usually can't get to the videos lately.

01:06 Techrights-sec; I do check the accompanying text though.

01:08 schestowitz-TR; tl;dr: across europe exxcess deaths soar this past summer

01:08 schestowitz-TR; and nobody is explaining why

01:08 Techrights-sec; Ok, I'll think about tc or mod_ratelimit and which is less difficult in the

01:08 Techrights-sec; long run.

01:08 Techrights-sec; Yes. There are many. It gets covered over.

01:20 schestowitz-TR; my mom got 4 jabs, got infected 3 times AFTER the third

01:20 schestowitz-TR; the infections were obv.

01:20 schestowitz-TR; you sort of know when you feel ill

01:20 schestowitz-TR; the body won't tell you if it defeats the virus upon entry

01:20 schestowitz-TR; I told her it has long-term damage

01:20 schestowitz-TR; but she isn't listening

01:20 schestowitz-TR; too drunk of gov. assurances

01:20 schestowitz-TR; sshe thinks it's just another flu

01:22 Techrights-sec; Yes it apparently causes long term damage each time.

01:24 *Noisytoot has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s)

01:25 schestowitz-TR; was it you weho sent me the link from weforum or another forum re longterm mental health damage?

01:25 schestowitz-TR; i forgot the domain

01:25 schestowitz-TR; men toioned it in irc twice

01:25 schestowitz-TR; after you had sent it

01:25 schestowitz-TR; spoke to mate over phone 15+ mins hours ago

01:25 schestowitz-TR; he is coming over here tomorrow

01:25 schestowitz-TR; referee for rianne's application

01:25 schestowitz-TR; he is the one who sent me this video

01:25 schestowitz-TR; riane turns out to have watched his videos before

01:25 schestowitz-TR; he's really causing a panic here in the regime

01:25 schestowitz-TR; and the billBC had to do "rebuttals"

01:25 schestowitz-TR; because he shows what the gov. is tryingf to dent

01:25 schestowitz-TR; as I myself showed

01:25 schestowitz-TR; rianne mentioned somem guy to me showing the same as me

01:25 schestowitz-TR; but I did not know who he was

01:25 schestowitz-TR; had not seen it till today

01:25 schestowitz-TR; when mike mentioned him and sent me the link

01:25 schestowitz-TR; the data does not lie _much_

01:26 *Noisytoot (~noisytoot@tkbibjhmbkvb8.irc) has joined #boycottnovell

01:28 Techrights-sec; Probably

01:28 Techrights-sec; Statistics do not lie, only mislead. :/

01:28 Techrights-sec; A "recent" problem is that it is time-effective for clowns to mash the data

01:28 Techrights-sec; through model after model, regardless of relevance, until they get the output

01:28 Techrights-sec; they wanted rather than picking the relevant model and reading what it tells

01:28 Techrights-sec; them about the data.

01:28 schestowitz-TR; i pointed out many counterproints to mike

01:28 schestowitz-TR; inc. how the excees is calculated

01:28 schestowitz-TR; past 5 yearssd

01:28 schestowitz-TR; so in 2022 we compare 2 covid years to 2 non-covid

01:28 schestowitz-TR; and then average those

01:28 schestowitz-TR; so you need the raw, absolute numbers

01:28 schestowitz-TR; and I downloaded, then uploaded the reports for every year since about 15 years ago

01:28 schestowitz-TR; to my site

01:28 schestowitz-TR; and showed the relevant graphis

01:28 schestowitz-TR; if there is push-back asna sense the public was misled

01:28 schestowitz-TR; I will have all the data//.info at hand

01:29 Techrights-sec; A rolling base point will make the curve look smaller as we progress into the

01:29 Techrights-sec; third year of this pandemic.

01:29 Techrights-sec; Pushback is not really possible because so many are pacified via social control

01:29 Techrights-sec; media and that filters what they are 1) allowed to write, and 2) what they

01:29 Techrights-sec; are allowed to read.

01:29 Techrights-sec; I think using tc will allow the most flexibility, but it will take some time

01:29 Techrights-sec; to plan it out properly.

01:31 schestowitz-TR; I noticed thatt gulagtube sot of flagged his videos

01:31 schestowitz-TR; adding links below it

01:31 schestowitz-TR; to the "official" message

01:31 schestowitz-TR; I guess they found no valid reason to outright ban him

01:31 schestowitz-TR; like oither videos I saw of doctors who dissent

01:31 schestowitz-TR; he clearly pisses off the powers that be

01:31 schestowitz-TR; pbased on what rianne saw of him in billbc and gulagtube

01:31 schestowitz-TR; of course he did not mentioon the v word even once in his video

01:34 schestowitz-TR; prior to being able to watch his video

01:34 schestowitz-TR; I was presented with TWO long ads

01:34 schestowitz-TR; the first one I was not ablke to even skip

01:34 schestowitz-TR; so I hit mute and looked away

01:34 schestowitz-TR; then come the second one

01:34 schestowitz-TR; I was only forced to watch firsdt 5 seconds

01:34 schestowitz-TR; then had to manually intervene

01:34 schestowitz-TR; lots of work just to watch some video, with some "flagging" below it

01:34 schestowitz-TR; youtube is social control

01:34 schestowitz-TR; and it started by flagging russian and chinese channels

01:34 schestowitz-TR; later it kjust BANNED those channels

01:34 schestowitz-TR; 'cox war'

01:34 schestowitz-TR; *xcoz

01:34 schestowitz-TR; now it does the same to british doctors

01:34 schestowitz-TR; "coz" safety"

01:34 schestowitz-TR; what he says is not unreasonable

01:34 schestowitz-TR; but it upsets some firms

01:34 schestowitz-TR; while bill gates PAYS YouTube

01:34 schestowitz-TR; for many ads

01:35 Techrights-sec; They could make up an excuse but anyone who is off-message gets flagged or

01:35 Techrights-sec; banned.

01:35 Techrights-sec; YouTube is about unusable anyway. I checked for the first time in months and

01:35 Techrights-sec; there are 10x ads most of which are unskippable and then the comments are

01:35 Techrights-sec; in some random, non-chronological sequence. Complete waste of time and I amd

01:35 Techrights-sec; disappointed in any vloggers still feeding that platform.

01:35 Techrights-sec; There is also the 'endless' scrolling or whatever it is called, which makes

01:35 Techrights-sec; the unskippable videos worse because you cannot listen while skimming comments

01:35 Techrights-sec; any more.

01:35 Techrights-sec; % awk '/bingbot/ && $7~/^\/n\// {a[$1]++} END { for (u in a) {print u; } }' /var/log/apache2/tuxmachines.org.access.log | sort -rn -k1,1rn -k2,2rn -k3,3rn -

01:35 Techrights-sec; k4,4rn -t .

01:41 schestowitz-TR; what i like about all this is,

01:41 schestowitz-TR; 1) it's not going away or aging. we'll keep getting data, one way of another

01:41 schestowitz-TR; 2) it shows web suppression/censorship in action

01:41 schestowitz-TR; (gulag did not make it pleasant to acess this video)

01:41 schestowitz-TR; 3) i said to rianne tonight, owing to working from home we likely dodged a bullet

01:41 schestowitz-TR; either the virus or another aspects

01:41 schestowitz-TR; my health has been fine throughout and we built some savings

01:41 schestowitz-TR; also lowered bills

01:41 schestowitz-TR; by next summer she might pursue the passport (next step)

01:41 schestowitz-TR; though it's not clear how much she would use it

01:41 schestowitz-TR; i last flew to germany (2018)

01:41 Techrights-sec; #2 is very important but due to ongoing campaigns, including strawman whackdoodle crazies and kooks, it is hard to do

01:41 Techrights-sec; Best to have the passport on hand anyway

01:42 schestowitz-TR; after naturalisation

01:46 schestowitz-TR; in 2010 flights were still ok compared to now

01:46 schestowitz-TR; where they demand your phone

01:46 schestowitz-TR; and I'm told now they want you to test, quarantine etc.

01:46 schestowitz-TR; and then follow some strict rules on board

01:46 schestowitz-TR; if you catch this one virus, you cannot fly back

01:46 schestowitz-TR; and no refund for the missed flight

01:46 schestowitz-TR; so why the fork would I even think of flying?

01:46 schestowitz-TR; prices also went up by a LOT

01:46 schestowitz-TR; i sometimes have unpleasant dreams where I cannot distance myself from people

01:46 schestowitz-TR; and 3 years down the drain

01:51 Techrights-sec; It's far worse than that, if I read correctly. There are worse conditions

01:51 Techrights-sec; than ever before both onboard and in the airport. That goes double for

01:51 Techrights-sec; the mistreatment of customers.

01:58 schestowitz-TR; kjids have a warped sense of reality

01:58 schestowitz-TR; and very selective memories

01:58 schestowitz-TR; but from what I remember in the 80s (domestic) and early 90s (portgula, spain)

01:58 schestowitz-TR; the flights weere pleasant and airports were just like bus stations with passports and shops (duty free)

01:58 schestowitz-TR; the seats on the plane were good

01:58 schestowitz-TR; meals were integral part of the journey

01:58 schestowitz-TR; prices were still high (they should be; it discourages BS 'travel')

01:58 schestowitz-TR; and service was like customer service

01:58 schestowitz-TR; not kids' gloves

01:58 schestowitz-TR; in the pedo sense, everyone a suspect

01:58 schestowitz-TR; tat was after lockerbee and other attacks had shown risk

01:58 schestowitz-TR; but reaction to them was not panic and oppression

01:58 schestowitz-TR; 9/11 was one of several escalations

01:58 schestowitz-TR; even "good" airports like copehagen suck

01:58 schestowitz-TR; I never enjoyed airports

01:58 schestowitz-TR; and they are as time-inefficient as the planes themselves

01:58 schestowitz-TR; you often spend x2 times as much in and traveling to/from airports

01:58 schestowitz-TR; than you spend onboard

01:58 schestowitz-TR; what a shitty roi

01:58 schestowitz-TR; i say i';d rather sit on a sofa at home

01:58 schestowitz-TR; then be on a plane or in airport (or communing)

01:58 schestowitz-TR; so there has to be very compelling reason to travel

01:58 schestowitz-TR; like funeral

01:58 schestowitz-TR; even to funerals I rarely fly

01:58 schestowitz-TR; seems like a luxiry

01:59 schestowitz-TR; luxury

01:59 schestowitz-TR; in the days of cross-atlantic boat travel you could not travel fast enough to attend funerals

01:59 schestowitz-TR; you used telegram or similar


2 AM, September 24

02:00 Techrights-sec; The bot attacks from:

02:00 Techrights-sec; They have more contact hours per day with CCP's TikTok than they do with

02:00 Techrights-sec; friends or family combined. Thus although they may speak English just fine

02:00 Techrights-sec; they are not culturally British. That distorts their worldview further.

02:00 Techrights-sec; Yes, in the 1980s and the 1990s, passengers were treated as valued customers

02:00 Techrights-sec; instead of as paroled criminals. The prices are high, but not high enough

02:00 Techrights-sec; to impair the real polluters: business travel.

02:01 schestowitz-TR; the guardian failed to note it takes bribes from the 1 (not 1%) that pollutes the most ^_^

02:02 Techrights-sec; true, they omit mentioning such conflicts of interest -- always

02:05 schestowitz-TR; the boat we took to ireland was swedish

02:05 schestowitz-TR; stina line

02:05 schestowitz-TR; *stena

02:05 schestowitz-TR; not sure how well they do now

02:05 schestowitz-TR; but the time getting TO the boat was long too

02:05 schestowitz-TR; we took the coach, then had to cross a tunnel by taxi

02:05 schestowitz-TR; smae in northern ireland

02:05 schestowitz-TR; at least the time on the boat itself was almost ok

02:05 Techrights-sec; ack

02:05 schestowitz-TR; but still long waiting times

02:05 schestowitz-TR; woul;d not do that again soon

02:05 schestowitz-TR; we just need a good catapult with trampolines

02:05 schestowitz-TR; "incoming!"

02:05 schestowitz-TR; or beam me up scotty (teleport)

02:19 schestowitz-TR; humans were never good at covering long distances

02:19 schestowitz-TR; no wheels

02:19 schestowitz-TR; and no wings

02:19 schestowitz-TR; even a lack of hydrodynamics

02:19 schestowitz-TR; we're a tree-dwelling animal that lost its ability to even clib on tress

02:19 schestowitz-TR; climb

02:28 Techrights-sec; Walking is very energy efficient, even when carrying a load.

02:30 schestowitz-TR; per mile, underwater movement is efficient

02:30 schestowitz-TR; birds are light

02:30 schestowitz-TR; soi gliding is also efficent

09:04 Techrights-sec; It's online at the moment.

09:04 Techrights-sec; But nothing of note lately.

09:04 Techrights-sec; Just some politics and a bit of fluff

09:04 schestowitz-TR; rianne cooking a lasagne now

09:04 schestowitz-TR; smells nice

09:28 schestowitz-TR; it's ready

09:28 schestowitz-TR; we managed to use ALL the sheets (pasta) and almost all the cheese

09:28 schestowitz-TR; made space in the freezer for almost 15 packs of humous we found discounted

09:28 schestowitz-TR; i don't have enough topics to cover, i'll do daily links shortl

09:28 Techrights-sec; :)

09:28 Techrights-sec; Hmm. I had just forgotten a good topic based on recent news, aside from

09:28 Techrights-sec; a revisit of the Halloween Document in the context of current events.

09:29 schestowitz-TR; happens to me a lot

09:29 schestowitz-TR; i need to write down more

09:29 schestowitz-TR; you sometimes wrongly assume you'd remember later

09:29 schestowitz-TR; and then "it's not so important anyway"

09:29 schestowitz-TR; but time becomes available

09:30 Techrights-sec; News deserts?

09:30 Techrights-sec; PeppermintOS Devuan variant?

09:30 schestowitz-TR; yeah, but what about it?

09:31 Techrights-sec; General decommodification of protocols, i.e. mail protocols, and standards,

09:31 Techrights-sec; i.e. HTTP

09:31 Techrights-sec; HTTP/3 looks like it can't be run by normal programmers because it moves so

09:31 Techrights-sec; much of what used to be covered by TCP up higher into the stack. As a side

09:31 Techrights-sec; effect it blocks TCP-based proxies such as VPNs and specifically the Tor network

09:33 schestowitz-TR; i don't know SPDY well enough except the basics

09:33 schestowitz-TR; and I am guessing many others, except stenberg who must grasp it, cannot know either

09:33 schestowitz-TR; we studied networking in a course 20+ years ago, inc. ipv6

09:33 schestowitz-TR; all this time later ipv4 is STILL predominant

09:33 schestowitz-TR; and the promise of QC has not quite materialised

09:34 Techrights-sec; It's not SPDY

09:34 Techrights-sec; Exactly. The pool of people capable of managing it shrinks to what one

09:34 Techrights-sec; can count on one hand. In the old days, with HTTP over TCP, writing a web

09:34 Techrights-sec; server was basically considered the "Hello, World" of network service programming.

09:34 Techrights-sec; IPv6 had lofty goals but was killed by over-engineering and complexity.

09:34 Techrights-sec; Even Henning Brauer and his colleagues had headaches from it.

09:37 schestowitz-TR; yes, that's the correct term

09:37 schestowitz-TR; we see it outside the network stack too

09:37 schestowitz-TR; P/Ls

09:37 schestowitz-TR; UNIXes

09:37 schestowitz-TR; CSS

09:37 schestowitz-TR; you kill things by adding too much complexity

09:37 schestowitz-TR; soon: linus

09:37 schestowitz-TR; *linus

09:37 schestowitz-TR; *linux

09:37 schestowitz-TR; now you need more skills

09:37 schestowitz-TR; not fewer

09:37 schestowitz-TR; and they tell us that plain-text email is the "hard" part

09:37 schestowitz-TR; con colivas wrote about it

09:37 schestowitz-TR; and he was not visible this year

09:37 schestowitz-TR; with human disease, which he studies as a physicians, the stuff reomains more or less the same

09:37 schestowitz-TR; for 90%+ of the conditions

09:38 Techrights-sec; By "helping" like helping restricted boot avoid scrutiny of the courts.

09:38 Techrights-sec; I've been getting an increasing amount of javascript-laden web documents

09:38 Techrights-sec; posing as e-mail, without an accompanying plaintext summary. So far those

09:38 Techrights-sec; can be deleted without concern but I wonder for how much longer as Alphabet

09:38 Techrights-sec; and M$ grab the last of e-mail.

09:39 Techrights-sec; The work on restricted boot 1) helped M$ avoid the courts over such ongoing

09:39 Techrights-sec; anti-competitive abuse of its OEM monopoly, 2) helped M$ gain control over

09:39 Techrights-sec; the distros through Canonical using M$ key and not a general GNU/Linux keu

09:39 Techrights-sec; or even a Ubuntu / Canonical key.

10:11 schestowitz-TR; i think this lasgagne is 10-20 servings

10:11 schestowitz-TR; lentils instead of meat

10:11 Techrights-sec; ack

10:22 schestowitz-TR; i am thinking how to fix the workflos and speed up publication

10:22 schestowitz-TR; one approach is

10:22 schestowitz-TR; make a share space for topics to cover in video

10:22 schestowitz-TR; i find videos very helpful as initial outlet that then motivates to writes textual summary

10:22 schestowitz-TR; but videos are better done in bulk

10:22 schestowitz-TR; not one view with many topics in it

10:22 schestowitz-TR; but pertinent bits, even short

10:22 schestowitz-TR; yuou made about 3 topic suggestions

10:22 schestowitz-TR; with links

10:22 schestowitz-TR; in 2021 I managed to do about 3 videos a day

10:22 schestowitz-TR; something then got in the way and I lost time, i think due to adding more rss feeds

10:26 Techrights-sec; One file per topic, to avoid locking problems? Or set up some shared editor?

10:26 Techrights-sec; IIRC you prefer to avoid Emacs even though it supports collaborative editing.

10:27 schestowitz-TR; ytalk is like collaborative editing already

10:27 schestowitz-TR; just need a way to mark topic to cover, even in 2 minutesd

10:27 schestowitz-TR; like 3-minute rebuttal to the latest security FUD

10:27 schestowitz-TR; i didn't cover any of the recent ones at all

10:30 schestowitz-TR; re bombay, i remember this from my childhood

10:30 schestowitz-TR; funny how garret insisted strongly on "dr"

10:30 schestowitz-TR; usually a sign of insecurity when one insists on it

10:30 schestowitz-TR; and "drpizza" gives toom for jokes

10:31 Techrights-sec; RSS / Atom feeds are very time-consuming to process, even though they are orders

10:31 Techrights-sec; of magnitude faster to work with than raw HTTP/HTTPS. First there is the matter

10:31 Techrights-sec; of topics covered within any given feed, that's fine, it's their feed. But it

10:31 Techrights-sec; does take time to triage posts. Then once a post is triaged, it must be skimmed

10:31 Techrights-sec; and the structure of each author and sometimes each post of each author

10:31 Techrights-sec; has a different flow or structure making it impossible to have a shortcut

10:31 Techrights-sec; method to skimming each.

10:32 Techrights-sec; but with a very short cache

10:33 Techrights-sec; Another topic would be investigating or at least raising the question of

10:33 Techrights-sec; the non-technical control over the technical aspects (or lack thereof) for the

10:33 Techrights-sec; Rust project via the CoC and other hobbles.

10:34 schestowitz-TR; you mentioned mjg, was that related?

10:40 schestowitz-TR; those topics are better off:

10:40 schestowitz-TR; a) not touches firectly or

10:40 schestowitz-TR; b) mentioned in passing inside a video

10:40 schestowitz-TR; i think i have: protocol/mail/spdy

10:40 schestowitz-TR; coc

10:40 schestowitz-TR; youtueb censorship (i hope you saw the video by now; it's not long; second half is about google censoring him)

10:40 schestowitz-TR; like i said, i don't keep a list but should

10:40 schestowitz-TR; as it's fast to reecord and process '\in bulk'

10:40 schestowitz-TR; and estblishign a solid pipeline would be a good investment

10:40 schestowitz-TR; TR was barely active this past week; i barely "got around to it", i think due to irc occupying hours of attention

10:40 Techrights-sec; not spdy the problem is now the proposed http/3

10:42 schestowitz-TR; webp pisss me off too

10:42 schestowitz-TR; and they want to add yet more of these formats to the www

10:42 schestowitz-TR; they prolifirate

10:42 schestowitz-TR; oldeer client balk/choke

10:42 schestowitz-TR; *clients

10:42 schestowitz-TR; some cannot be updated, e.g. "smart" TVs

10:54 Techrights-sec; Not keeping a list seems like a problem though.

10:54 Techrights-sec; IRC as DoS

11:09 *DaemonFC (~daemonfc@58nejqa2kp9h2.irc) has joined #boycottnovell

11:23 Techrights-sec; I'm wondering if there is even a raison d'tre for dedicated televisions any

11:23 Techrights-sec; more. Increasingly people get their programming over TCP/IP so Kodi + a

11:23 Techrights-sec; nicer but less expensive display would be less work, less cost, and more secure

11:23 Techrights-sec; and more capable / flexible.

11:23 Techrights-sec; What is the software patent encumberance for webp? https://github.com/ImageMagick/webp/blob/main/PATENTS

↺ https://github.com/ImageMagick/webp/blob/main/PATENTS

11:23 -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-webp/PATENTS at main ImageMagick/webp GitHub

11:24 schestowitz-TR; shit. just been oln the phone 20 mins

11:24 schestowitz-TR; after i had received a distressed meil

11:24 schestowitz-TR; froma prof frine

11:24 schestowitz-TR; he got scammed by crypto cranks

11:24 schestowitz-TR; lost $50k

11:24 schestowitz-TR; brb, catcing up

11:24 schestowitz-TR; i see many people scammed, they are av en afriaif/shy to speak about them

11:24 schestowitz-TR; feeling stupid

11:24 schestowitz-TR; and the scam is still online

11:24 schestowitz-TR; now sure about webp patents

11:24 schestowitz-TR; but maybe gulag has some but licensed others'

11:24 schestowitz-TR; to make it "safe"

11:24 schestowitz-TR; gulag is NOT helping with swpats

11:24 schestowitz-TR; it helps uspto 'organise' the monopolies

11:25 schestowitz-TR; same in EPO

11:25 schestowitz-TR; *not sure

11:26 Techrights-sec; :(

11:26 Techrights-sec; cryptocurrency scammers?

11:26 Techrights-sec; That's a lot of money to lose

11:26 Techrights-sec; ack

11:26 Techrights-sec; cryptocurrency is basically a scam to begin with. The experiment ended in 2009

11:26 Techrights-sec; when " Satoshi Nakamoto " dumped the experiment in the trash and shysters

11:26 Techrights-sec; picked through the trash for his code, reminiscent of Bill digging through

11:26 Techrights-sec; the trash for BASIC code. The shysters then have run with what they found

11:26 Techrights-sec; in Nakamoto's trash.

11:26 Techrights-sec; Google cannot be trusted much and is increasing the harm of sw patents over time

11:29 schestowitz-TR; graveley the "$200,000,000 man" (he tells girls

11:29 schestowitz-TR; who lives with dad and barely has $200,000 in the bank

11:29 schestowitz-TR; more on that next year... there's court stuff related to this

11:29 schestowitz-TR; they want him to prove he lost the job

11:29 schestowitz-TR; "plastic" society

11:29 schestowitz-TR; lies as the norm

11:29 schestowitz-TR; with kirk wiebe said

11:30 schestowitz-TR; *what

11:30 schestowitz-TR; has 200 milliopn, takes MORTGAGE for a home

11:30 schestowitz-TR; lives with dad and girlfriend, hopping between the two

11:30 schestowitz-TR; serial plgiarist and drug dealer

11:30 schestowitz-TR; microsoft: fancy beinga MANAGER?

11:30 Techrights-sec; ack

11:30 Techrights-sec; Another topic is that the pervasive presence of M$ products inside various

11:30 Techrights-sec; national borders has put whole countries into severe crises regarding

11:30 Techrights-sec; cybersecurity. For most, the situatin is intractable. The presence of M$

11:30 Techrights-sec; products is a problem in and of itself but in the big picture only a symptom

11:30 Techrights-sec; of staffing problems and general managerial incompetence + malice.

11:30 *starstreak has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s)

11:34 schestowitz-TR; the problem is bigger than microsoft

11:34 schestowitz-TR; but microsoft is a big part of it

11:34 Techrights-sec;

11:34 Techrights-sec; And lack of actual educational opportunities in applied computer science

11:34 Techrights-sec; *at a national level*. Yes, in that context, m$ is only a tool. But that

11:34 Techrights-sec; does not absolve their complicity in dragging down whole countries and

11:34 Techrights-sec; even whole economies.

11:34 Techrights-sec; Windoze kills.

11:35 schestowitz-TR; my head is too foggy satm to do 3 videos, i will focus fiorst in cleaning the feeds

11:35 schestowitz-TR; then see if it clears up a bit

11:35 schestowitz-TR; I lso exzpect a guest later

11:35 schestowitz-TR; (he too fell for borderline scams... all that "gold " shit...in places he cannot see like spain)

11:35 schestowitz-TR; it predates the shitcoins

11:35 schestowitz-TR; men don't like to acknowledge mistake

11:35 schestowitz-TR; it damages the image and 'masculinity'

11:35 schestowitz-TR; so it can drag them deep into isolation and denial

11:36 Techrights-sec; Excercise usually helps more than sitting in front of a screen.

11:36 Techrights-sec; Even just 20 minutes at rate.

11:36 Techrights-sec; :(

11:37 schestowitz-TR; good idea, one productive way to take a break

11:37 schestowitz-TR; not down, just mind not focused enough

11:37 schestowitz-TR; posting links is drone-like at times

11:37 schestowitz-TR; so lets the mind settle

11:37 schestowitz-TR; esp. when working 18 hours a day

11:38 Techrights-sec; It gives time to think and prioritize, too

11:38 Techrights-sec; Yet it is still "sitting in front of a screen"

11:38 Techrights-sec; If one needs a break from sitting in front of a screen then one must

11:38 Techrights-sec; do something else than continuing to sit in front of a screen for the break

11:38 Techrights-sec; to actually count

12:43 schestowitz-TR; a bit like a museaum on the way while doing the walk/jog

12:43 schestowitz-TR; will do that again in the future

12:43 schestowitz-TR; saw many tourists

12:43 Techrights-sec; :)

12:43 Techrights-sec; Instructions or directions?

12:43 schestowitz-TR; some asked me for instructions

12:43 schestowitz-TR; directions rather

12:44 schestowitz-TR; anyway, it helped reset the mind

12:44 schestowitz-TR; except when rianne started talkin about the friend again

12:57 schestowitz-TR; you know, i figured it's similar to covid-19

12:57 schestowitz-TR; nobody wants to talk about facts anymore

12:57 schestowitz-TR; that would be "endangering"

12:57 schestowitz-TR; even if your complaint is that we don't do enough to protect people

12:57 schestowitz-TR; people aren't meant to talk but let "officials" do the talking for them

12:57 schestowitz-TR; in the uk (some other countries too; france for sure) we cannot talk about the issue

12:57 schestowitz-TR; because of "investment"

12:57 schestowitz-TR; the stadium I just went to is sportwashing exercise of uae

12:57 schestowitz-TR; trying to open up prospects as airline/travel powerhouse

12:57 schestowitz-TR; in case the oil empire sinks, which is inevitable sooner or later

12:57 schestowitz-TR; we reap some benefit off the investment, but at what long-term cost?

12:57 schestowitz-TR; it's similar to companies that take vc money

12:58 schestowitz-TR; or founders

12:58 schestowitz-TR; they lose the ability to lead and to judge

12:58 schestowitz-TR; russia uses national energy resources for political leverga

12:58 schestowitz-TR; in the same way gulf states do

12:58 schestowitz-TR; putin did this in belarus, not does this in eu and beyond

12:58 schestowitz-TR; cheap energy? there are conditions


1 PM, September 24

13:01 Techrights-sec; Yes and Germany was warned for decades and, strangely, the US backed off on

13:01 Techrights-sec; sanctions, allowing Nordstream2 to go ahead in spite of pretty much everyone

13:01 Techrights-sec; seeing where it would lead to. I wonder how much overlap there is between

13:01 Techrights-sec; the group of German politicians that pushed for the Nordstream2 and those

13:01 Techrights-sec; that ensure that only M$ products are deployed in federal activities.

13:06 schestowitz-TR; schroder?

13:07 Techrights-sec; It was over the last 5 or so years.

13:07 schestowitz-TR; yes, but gazprom board scandsals is not outdated

13:08 Techrights-sec; The warnings were for decades before that too, but as things started coming to

13:09 Techrights-sec; a head in recent years, the warnings had to increase in both frequency and

13:09 Techrights-sec; loudness. Germany ignored all the "risks"

13:11 Techrights-sec; Thinking about the long term attack against e-mail as a commodity service,

13:11 Techrights-sec; most, nearly all, software development is coordinated using e-mail. Eliminating

13:11 Techrights-sec; that will create chokepoints and crash efficients to a promille of what it is

13:11 Techrights-sec; now.

13:12 *DaemonFC has quit (Quit: Leaving)

13:13 Techrights-sec; Yes, proprietarty silos exist but they cannot spontaneously interact with other

13:13 Techrights-sec; silos, the are not (technically) reliable nor secure/private, and have

13:13 Techrights-sec; *very* inefficient proprietary interfaces restricted to very specific platforms.

13:14 schestowitz-TR; in messaging, protocols exist or existed too

13:14 schestowitz-TR; now there are many that are islands and proprietary

13:14 schestowitz-TR; i still use the landline a lot

13:15 schestowitz-TR; so-caled 'IT' proficiency makes sure workarounds exist and are used

13:15 schestowitz-TR; but maybe not with "the enterprise"

13:15 schestowitz-TR; so what's needed it better education

13:15 schestowitz-TR; hacker culture

13:15 schestowitz-TR; and stuff such as IRC

13:15 schestowitz-TR; IRC != libera

13:15 schestowitz-TR; libera has its own objectives, almost same staff as OFTC

13:15 schestowitz-TR; or whatever the acronym was

13:15 Techrights-sec; 'IT' has become a euphemism for an embedded M$ Sales team

13:15 Techrights-sec; FSF should not touch Libera with a barge pole

13:16 schestowitz-TR; too late now, i cationed rms about it and quoted his reply

13:16 schestowitz-TR; same re billg in sept. 2019

13:16 Techrights-sec; Not too late, but certainly much less convenient than doing it right the first

13:16 Techrights-sec; time.

13:17 schestowitz-TR; fsf and gnu are now renting off the "intel agencies" of companies that seek to steal from the commons the way i see it, or just steal the commons

13:17 schestowitz-TR; they did a token congrats to zoe when she was annnounced

13:17 schestowitz-TR; a network-wide message was sent

13:17 schestowitz-TR; but nothing pro-rms

13:19 Techrights-sec; ack

13:21 schestowitz-TR; i've not messaged him in month as meaningful exchanges with him are less probable

13:21 schestowitz-TR; he is babysat by someone/s

13:21 schestowitz-TR; it's obscene that gnu/linux continues to grow

13:21 schestowitz-TR; this coming tue turning 39

13:21 schestowitz-TR; but the people who made it happen are stored inside a cupboard

13:22 Techrights-sec; Yes, FSF could prepare a proper Freedom campaign during the coming year,

13:22 Techrights-sec; with contingency plans for taking on Vista12 should the opportunity arise.

13:24 schestowitz-TR; like the absoloute bat*** insane campaign of asking microsoft for windows source code

13:24 schestowitz-TR; ans shipping them a HDD for it?

13:24 schestowitz-TR; iirc, that was mattl idea

13:24 schestowitz-TR; mostly legitimises windows

13:24 schestowitz-TR; and makes it look like we are longing for openWINDOWS

13:24 schestowitz-TR; that's not revolutionary

13:24 schestowitz-TR; but it got a lot of attention from Microsoft 'news' (noise) sites

13:24 schestowitz-TR; maybe because it sucked

13:24 schestowitz-TR; they could instead say something for WINE and even reactOS (the latter is not a good idea either)

13:25 Techrights-sec; Yes that any move to legitimize M$ or Windows is harmful to society not just

13:25 Techrights-sec; software. ReactOS is interesting but less serious than TempleOS

13:25 Techrights-sec; Either way, ReactOS does not do away with the technical shortcomings of

13:25 Techrights-sec; bad design and bad implementation

16:26 Techrights-sec; Dang that is going to be seven years ago already.

16:26 Techrights-sec; Who knows what actually happene to him after that. He was ranting online

16:26 Techrights-sec; that he was preparing a description of what had happened. Then he was dead.

17:01 schestowitz-TR; in my own style, which is safe and factual

17:01 schestowitz-TR; if the data becomes less available, less readily accessible, or less complete/reliable (they

17:01 schestowitz-TR; did they several times already; changing defs and announcing "missing" past data)

17:01 schestowitz-TR; then I will turn to alternative sources of data and use those

17:01 schestowitz-TR; I always say,

17:01 schestowitz-TR; it's hard to hide body/bodies or lies about the number of people who died

17:01 schestowitz-TR; because death is a very significant event in one's "life"time

17:01 schestowitz-TR; I also make local copies of many PDFs in my site

17:01 schestowitz-TR; one day the original links will be broken

17:01 schestowitz-TR; esp. if there is greater financial incentive to break them

17:01 schestowitz-TR; and censoring british doctors who cite official data by deleting their youtube accounts won't be enough

17:02 *starstreak (~starstreak@muarsy2vret2q.irc) has joined #boycottnovell

17:02 Techrights-sec; Changing the definitions and baselines are the most problematic and deceptive

17:02 Techrights-sec; because it (intentionally) prevents tracking the situation over time.

17:05 schestowitz-TR; told mike, it is AMAZING how, looking at old veideos of that same doctor yesterday/last nightm it turtned out we showed and said the SAQME thing

17:05 schestowitz-TR; though I never watched him before

17:05 schestowitz-TR; because we both ended up chasing death related data

17:05 schestowitz-TR; and en ded up with ONS

17:05 schestowitz-TR; and then reached the exact same conclusions

17:05 schestowitz-TR; and made remarks on omisssions and averages

17:05 schestowitz-TR; except

17:05 schestowitz-TR; I cannot be easily censotred

17:05 Techrights-sec; That adds substantial support to the conclusion then. :/

17:05 schestowitz-TR; whereas he is threatened with loss of ALL his videos ever

17:05 schestowitz-TR; videos that years ago helped save lives in poor countries

17:05 schestowitz-TR; reminds me of winston in 1984

17:05 schestowitz-TR; they steer him towards "rightspeak"

17:05 schestowitz-TR; by intimidation

17:05 schestowitz-TR; 2+2=5

17:08 schestowitz-TR; let's jsut say that my 3 best friends all report very serious angst and (I think) have regarets

17:08 schestowitz-TR; all of them, except one i think, must work with other people and thus to them it is barely a choice

17:08 schestowitz-TR; rianne and i both work from home and it pays off now

17:08 schestowitz-TR; btw, he says i should keep my job

17:08 schestowitz-TR; both he and rianne saw reports today re expectation of 24% or 25% inflation by April

17:08 schestowitz-TR; hence, value of savings will erode considerably

17:08 schestowitz-TR; so I said, ok, I won't rush to leave

17:08 schestowitz-TR; he also knows how severance is canculate for my job

17:08 schestowitz-TR; *calculated

17:08 schestowitz-TR; he isa director (technical company, 3 masters degrees)

17:08 Techrights-sec; Not a surprise. There is also "shrinkflation" at the same time which is hiding

17:08 Techrights-sec; that the situation is even slightly worse than the official numbers.

17:08 Techrights-sec; Excellent that he could advise.

17:10 schestowitz-TR; inflation is not uniform and depends on people's spending habits

17:10 schestowitz-TR; my friend just lost 150k

17:10 schestowitz-TR; to a scam

17:10 schestowitz-TR; and want to try to recover some

17:10 schestowitz-TR; all his money

17:10 schestowitz-TR; his home liquidated

17:10 Techrights-sec; 150k ???

17:10 Techrights-sec; :(

17:12 schestowitz-TR; crypto bros

17:12 schestowitz-TR; got to his via microsoft linkedin

17:12 schestowitz-TR; i am still learning more, lots of communication today

17:12 schestowitz-TR; hence TR will be lower priority

17:12 schestowitz-TR; you'd think a 59 yo lecturers would know better

17:12 schestowitz-TR; turns out not

17:12 schestowitz-TR; people want get-rich-fast schemes

17:13 Techrights-sec; crypto XOR cryptocurrency?

17:13 Techrights-sec; Crypto has been ok but cryprocurrency has been a scam since the beginning

17:13 Techrights-sec; Back in 2009 ...

17:15 schestowitz-TR; in 2022 "linux" also means cryptocranks

17:15 schestowitz-TR; hyperledger etc.

17:15 schestowitz-TR; "fintech"

17:15 schestowitz-TR; banksters

17:15 schestowitz-TR; the brand is without lustre anymore

17:15 schestowitz-TR; sorry to think I spent my whole adult life promoiting this brand

17:15 schestowitz-TR; now I focus on other terms

17:15 schestowitz-TR; I also promotes the term "open source" for a long time

17:15 schestowitz-TR; but sucvh is the nature of subversive tactics

17:15 schestowitz-TR; hijacking wordsds

17:15 schestowitz-TR; so you need to keep on moving

17:15 schestowitz-TR; like switching from SUSE to somehting else

17:15 schestowitz-TR; from SUSE lover and booster to leading a boycott

17:15 Techrights-sec; ack

17:16 schestowitz-TR; gay used to mean happy

17:16 schestowitz-TR; linux used to imply freedom

17:16 schestowitz-TR; freedom means libertarian now I think

17:16 schestowitz-TR; so we need more clarity

17:16 schestowitz-TR; tech authonomy

17:16 schestowitz-TR; etc etc

17:17 schestowitz-TR; we need to move with the times

17:17 schestowitz-TR; the media changes the words

17:17 schestowitz-TR; btw, my fridnd knew far too little about gates

17:17 schestowitz-TR; I brought him up to date

17:17 schestowitz-TR; he was in irc many times over the ywars, but not real name

17:22 Techrights-sec; ack

17:22 Techrights-sec;

17:22 Techrights-sec; digital sovereignty ?

17:22 Techrights-sec; It hurts cyber readiness that Gates' minions are in and out of DC more than

17:22 Techrights-sec; Redmond even.

17:22 Techrights-sec; Windows kills

17:22 schestowitz-TR; i know someone who lost everything because of a microsoft linked scam - famous new words

17:22 schestowitz-TR; *linkedin

17:22 schestowitz-TR; rianne just saw the email

17:22 schestowitz-TR; on the screen

17:22 schestowitz-TR; post mortem

17:48 schestowitz-TR; ----

17:48 schestowitz-TR; it's a crazy day here

17:48 schestowitz-TR; but much being done at "personal life" level

17:48 schestowitz-TR; not online

17:49 schestowitz-TR; so bear with us, rianne will catch up with rss shorly

17:49 schestowitz-TR; I will do videos before midnight

17:49 schestowitz-TR; i still cannot digest the extent of the crypto scam

17:49 schestowitz-TR; and ramifications

17:49 schestowitz-TR; set aside the damage I'm told the jab did

17:49 schestowitz-TR; but only off-the-recrod

17:49 schestowitz-TR; because you get punished severely career-wise for talking about it

17:49 schestowitz-TR; rianne says we learned a lot today

17:49 schestowitz-TR; from her two referees

17:49 schestowitz-TR; btw, the lasagna turned out to be very successful, about 7 servings already

17:49 schestowitz-TR; along with chocolate cake

As of now, I do not have any notice on the channel itself, but just an email so I thought I would get this message out. If I disappear from the YT kingdom, I will be covertly releasing videos here..." https://yewtu.be/watch?v=WRhTZmGuFN0
