00:21 schestowitz-TR; i wrote that post when i waas super-tired
00:21 schestowitz-TR; just before bedtime
00:21 schestowitz-TR; because i wnated to put it out there asap
00:21 schestowitz-TR; knowing how much damage that does
00:42 techrigthssec; quality is preferable to quantity, the text itself is missing a description\
00:42 techrigthssec; of what has happened
00:42 techrigthssec; using up a good title like that without accompanying information misses a good
00:42 techrigthssec; opportunity
00:43 schestowitz-TR; ack
00:46 techrigthssec; The other day you mentioned some modifications to tm-new as far as summaries go.
00:46 techrigthssec; Can you describe the changes needed? It was something about monthly summmaries.

00:48 schestowitz-TR; yes. pseudocode:
00:48 schestowitz-TR; 1. retrieve from db where month=$month
00:49 schestowitz-TR; 2. select title, url, description
00:49 schestowitz-TR; 3. <dd>/<dt>
00:49 schestowitz-TR; 4. likely sorted by time
00:49 schestowitz-TR; this way all the description I type in by hand will be picked up by search engines and moreover it'll
00:49 schestowitz-TR; be easily to navigate past months' work
00:49 techrigthssec; Got it.
00:50 schestowitz-TR; i am aiming to finish rss, do daily links by 2am
00:50 schestowitz-TR; then write about iso wrt nhs data
00:50 schestowitz-TR; before 2:40 (bulletin)
01:03 techrigthssec; ack
01:12 techrigthssec; It used to be that the search engines were aware of and used the description
01:12 techrigthssec; metadata.
01:23 techrigthssec; I guess not any more.
02:00 schestowitz-TR; draft
02:00 techrigthssec; Checking
02:00 techrigthssec; "ISO" needs to be expanded to "ISO 9000 Certification" or whatever at least
02:00 techrigthssec; once, preferably at the start -- if that's what you are refering to.
02:00 techrigthssec; Otherwise, it's not clear how ISO the organization relates to Sirius
02:00 schestowitz-TR; added at the top
02:01 techrigthssec; I'd say use "ISO 9000 Certification" throughout the post even in the DIlbert
02:01 techrigthssec; caption. It's very confusing otherwise IMO
02:09 techrigthssec; """
02:09 techrigthssec; Gloating about "ISO" as in ISO 9000 certification...

02:09 techrigthssec; etc
02:09 techrigthssec; There are 2 problems to track; one is the scam of the ISO 9000 certification;
02:09 techrigthssec; The other is the destruction of ISO as an organization by M$
02:27 techrigthssec; s/mass muster/pass muster/
02:27 techrigthssec; s/ISO allows personal/ISO 9000 certification allows/
02:27 techrigthssec; etc
02:27 techrigthssec; to differentiate between the specific certification and the organization
02:27 techrigthssec; granting the certificate
04:51 schestowitz-TR; grieving today
04:51 schestowitz-TR; trying to find MIA flights
04:51 schestowitz-TR; falkon does not work with any airline site I am trying
04:51 schestowitz-TR; absurd
04:51 schestowitz-TR; i cannot even see prices
04:51 schestowitz-TR; gosh, librewolf does not work either
04:51 schestowitz-TR; seems like they blcok every non-Google browser
04:51 schestowitz-TR; firefox works
04:51 schestowitz-TR; no way I am paying 2500 pounds for a return flight to Miami
04:51 schestowitz-TR; total ripoff!
04:51 schestowitz-TR; they don't even care if someone died!! they exploit that.
04:51 schestowitz-TR; [me very angry!]
05:36 psydruid; British Airways has return flights from Heathrow to Miami from 750
05:36 schestowitz-TR; not a day's notice
05:37 psydruid; I put today's date in my search
05:38 psydruid; they have another flight in the afternoon

06:56 schestowitz-TR; spoke to some cousins, I think I will send an essay for them to read
07:00 schestowitz-TR; hem to read
07:00 schestowitz-TR; don't mean to sound alarming, but I think deaths are "accelerating" a bit, both based on stats and direct
07:00 schestowitz-TR; experience (relatives). Some people lose a year. Some loses 10 years. Some even 50 years. That's tragic.
07:00 schestowitz-TR; nobody wants to end up an epitaph or obituary like swarz, he died so younf
07:00 schestowitz-TR; the time wasted in conde nasty [sic] can be recovered some other way
07:00 schestowitz-TR; but 60 odd years were thrown away
07:00 techrigthssec; Increased deaths are quite likely given the decreased caution.
07:08 schestowitz-TR; i heard ambulances or police a few times overnight
07:08 schestowitz-TR; from the stats that I saw (maybe not discussed as much as the work-blaming ambulance driver dtrikes)
07:08 schestowitz-TR; there are many distress calls from homes
07:08 schestowitz-TR; as people die in their homes
07:08 schestowitz-TR; not waking up or collapsing
07:08 schestowitz-TR; and disscussions about this get to be ridiculed as "anti-vaxx"
07:08 schestowitz-TR; *worker-blaming
07:16 techrigthssec; The blame shifting distracts from the reality of who has been intentionally
07:16 techrigthssec; underfunding and understaffing the NHS
07:16 techrigthssec; and why.
07:20 schestowitz-TR; I ranted about "the media" in IRC/TR-bot earlier tonight, but that's not a new problem
07:20 schestowitz-TR; the media is becoming an oppressive voice, and wikipedia is a close second
07:20 schestowitz-TR; obscructing critics of very bad orgs/people
07:20 schestowitz-TR; one can hope gemini and other "alt" things will undo this damage/trends somehow
07:20 schestowitz-TR; because it makes no sense that media read by 90% of people is working against their interestsw
07:20 schestowitz-TR; when their capacity to disseminate their own narrative is 10 times bigger, in theory...
07:20 schestowitz-TR; social contgrol media helped created conglemerates at the expense of millions of personal voices/blogs
07:20 schestowitz-TR; youtube is part of that
07:20 schestowitz-TR; culling many people
07:20 schestowitz-TR; they seduced many people out of their own platforms with "likes" and fake "friends" (fake status)
07:20 schestowitz-TR; and now many realised that if they on their deathbed
07:20 schestowitz-TR; the last thing they'd say is, "gee!! I wish I had more twitter 'followers'..."
07:21 techrigthssec; Wikipedia has been a propaganda engine for years after it became a playground
07:21 techrigthssec; for marketeers.
07:23 schestowitz-TR; I try NOT to link to wikipedia these days
07:23 schestowitz-TR; but then again the www as a whole is trash
07:23 schestowitz-TR; jumped the shark
07:23 schestowitz-TR; many web sites don't eevn show up without overlay saying "WE VALUE YOUR PRIVACY"
07:23 schestowitz-TR; or airlines that insist you use spyware with SYSTEM-level access
07:23 techrigthssec; It's usually avoidable.
07:23 techrigthssec; There was a good blog post recently about the advantages of "owning" your own
07:23 techrigthssec; domain name.
07:23 techrigthssec; Most sites are no longer web sites, but instead javascript "apps" served over
07:23 techrigthssec; http
08:19 schestowitz-TR; Azure LAYOFFS. "Simple: Cloud cost is way high. Customers are moving back to premise to improve cost." https://www.thelayoff.com/t/1kQvvViD#replies

08:20 schestowitz-TR; they need staff that knows how to do this, not memoprise fucking proprietary GUIs
08:20 schestowitz-TR; maybe the media can come up with words like "onprem" or "clown-native" or...
08:20 schestowitz-TR; to make the old sound new

11:53 techrigthssec; The script can start from an arbitrary date but defaults to one month ago.
11:53 schestowitz-TR; that looks great
11:53 schestowitz-TR; i will ask other half as well
11:53 schestowitz-TR; struggling emotionally atm because I am writing about my friend
11:53 schestowitz-TR; and many things come back to me
11:58 schestowitz-TR; rianne just took a look
11:58 schestowitz-TR; feedback is positive
11:58 schestowitz-TR; she thinks monthly archives would help mher a lot
11:58 schestowitz-TR; locating older pages she is updating
11:58 schestowitz-TR; i assume it's as easy to putput such pages to gemini/gemtext, as the format is similar
11:58 schestowitz-TR; and that makes indexing easier for crawlers
12:03 schestowitz-TR; i have just checked
12:03 schestowitz-TR; fair point
12:03 schestowitz-TR; i think that with gemini the main way to navigate to old pages is go back, back, back, back...
12:03 schestowitz-TR; linear navigation only
12:03 schestowitz-TR; the summaries only ever showed up in the front page
12:04 techrigthssec; No need for gemtext since it is for the search engine indexes and the gemtext
12:04 techrigthssec; have the summaries anyway
12:22 techrigthssec; Any suggestion for file name?
12:41 schestowitz-TR; does it need a file name with extension, or can a directory with index be created?
12:41 schestowitz-TR; maybe ~/year/month/ ?
13:41 techrigthssec; Either way is good
13:41 techrigthssec; It's a rolling date period based on the latest N days, so it's a single file
13:41 techrigthssec; since it contains only redundant information
13:46 schestowitz-TR; sorry, was away
13:46 schestowitz-TR; finished writing a rushed tribute to Harv
13:46 schestowitz-TR; and got message from ONS
13:46 schestowitz-TR; posted an update on that as well
13:46 schestowitz-TR; I guess if the archive is done irregularly, like once a day, or once a month, then the large file can
13:46 schestowitz-TR; be split and filed semi-manually? I guess it would become a strain on the server if the site ages a lot
13:46 schestowitz-TR; and also lots of manual work
13:47 techrigthssec; np
13:47 techrigthssec; It's fully redundant and would not add anything other than the attempt at
13:47 techrigthssec; feeding the search engines. The material already exists in the established
13:47 techrigthssec; pages so it would just be adding complexity for what looks like zero gain.
13:47 techrigthssec; The single file will probably be an advantage but leaving old copies around
13:47 techrigthssec; will not help as far as I understand the current problem with the search engines
13:49 schestowitz-TR; it can help to be able to check a page with weeks-old pages sometimes
13:49 schestowitz-TR; for those who try to avoid dupes
13:49 techrigthssec; It's parked here: news.tuxmachines.org/summary.shtml and updated by cron
13:54 schestowitz-TR; rianne says "thnk you"
13:54 schestowitz-TR; she will use it, it is useful in checking for risk of dupes
13:54 schestowitz-TR; the summaries help catch some extra keywords, e.g. "mx linus"
13:54 schestowitz-TR; *linus
13:54 schestowitz-TR; >linux
13:54 schestowitz-TR; thanks! for me too it is practically useful.
13:54 schestowitz-TR; I want to think TM will live another 20 years, but doubt www will survive this long
13:54 schestowitz-TR; 20 years is a long time in tech
14:41 techrigthssec; New protocols can arise during that time
14:41 techrigthssec; The crucial period is can the WWW survive past the attempt to inflict HTTP/3 on
14:41 techrigthssec; it
14:43 schestowitz-TR; what i experienced today in airline sites was neauseating
14:43 schestowitz-TR; and it only gets worse over time
14:43 schestowitz-TR; I remember the days of everything as "windows software
14:43 schestowitz-TR; "
14:43 schestowitz-TR; WINE had not been around yet
14:43 schestowitz-TR; tax software, quicken, etc.
14:43 schestowitz-TR; we're getting there, escept the browser is the OS
14:43 schestowitz-TR; heck, there is an OS now called after the browsee
14:43 schestowitz-TR; not firefoxos
14:47 techrigthssec; The problem with the browser has two parts. One is that businesses are using
14:47 techrigthssec; the browser as a half-assed VM. The second is that they completely eschew
14:47 techrigthssec; open standards and core functionality.
14:48 schestowitz-TR; notes to self: write in a timeless way: ideas, concepts, not brands. storage in simple, generic form.
14:48 schestowitz-TR; programs: keep them simple, no big frameworks like rust or adobe trash. make many backups, ensure format
14:48 schestowitz-TR; shifting is widely available upon need, even decades later (images, videos, latex...)
14:48 schestowitz-TR; yes
14:59 schestowitz-TR; we need to always been several steps ahead, technologically and beyond
14:59 schestowitz-TR; as in, a step ahead in things covered and the underlying tech
14:59 schestowitz-TR; ahead != newer
14:59 schestowitz-TR; the "latest" ofte gets left behind
14:59 schestowitz-TR; like clown
14:59 schestowitz-TR; the wave of layoffs quietly killed off not only jobs but also APIs and so-called (not) "ecosystems"
14:59 schestowitz-TR; many will get "burned" and some, as a result, "burned out"
14:59 schestowitz-TR; google's war on gpl (linux) has failed again and they throw in the towel
14:59 schestowitz-TR; if they lose money, it is doomed to fail for financial reasons
14:59 schestowitz-TR; many videos in 'free' hosting sites will vanish as the economy sinks
14:59 schestowitz-TR; nobody wants to be left holding the bills
14:59 schestowitz-TR; and people don't want to watch 5 ads in a 5-minute video
14:59 schestowitz-TR; (bonus: in an economic downturn people buy only essensial, advertising moot)
15:07 schestowitz-TR; today you sent a url from hillel (seen it in rss too, and others had said the same re bloated s/w - those
15:07 schestowitz-TR; things typically go away and perish sooner. drm and hd over the net = uneconomic
15:14 schestowitz-TR; cory read a lot of books while on holiday
15:14 schestowitz-TR; we only saw some of the reviews he wrote about these
15:14 schestowitz-TR; some seems like eff-recommended gender stuff
15:14 schestowitz-TR; but I think watching corporate media like CBS has its risks
15:14 schestowitz-TR; too much risk of intyentional bias projecting from up above in the corporate chain of command
15:36 techrigthssec; Right. However, it is the only service to date which has picked up on ByteDance
15:36 techrigthssec; ack
15:37 schestowitz-TR; 60 Minutes did some awful things before
15:37 schestowitz-TR; but I cannot give you examples because I forgot
15:37 schestowitz-TR; that was yars ago, back when NSA was still talked about
15:37 schestowitz-TR; and wikileaks was publishing loads of juicy leaks
15:37 schestowitz-TR; btw, if you reead the latest (this afternoon) ons stuff, it seems like we might be close tom agreement
15:37 schestowitz-TR; that nothing wrong was done and thus the data is ok
15:37 schestowitz-TR; keeping their feet to the fire is crucial because recently it was confirmed that had relayed intentional
15:37 schestowitz-TR; propaganda by cooking up some numbers
15:37 schestowitz-TR; they need to understand they are watched closely
