02:44 Techrights-sec; systemctl status cron
02:44 Techrights-sec; lots of /home/gemini/bin/gemini-latest-videos.sh
02:46 Techrights-sec; perhaps
02:46 Techrights-sec; systemctl restart cron
02:46 Techrights-sec; is needed?
02:47 schestowitz-TR; done
02:48 Techrights-sec; hmm still loads of /home/gemini/bin/gemini-latest-videos.sh there,
02:48 Techrights-sec; I wonder how to clean them out
02:48 Techrights-sec; pkill -x CRON
02:48 Techrights-sec; ?
02:48 Techrights-sec; then systemd unit ought to resume
02:51 schestowitz-TR; i tail -f syslog
02:51 schestowitz-TR; seems likely you arer seeing past runs for cron
02:51 schestowitz-TR; i see mostly gemini activity
02:51 Techrights-sec; it looks like they have not finished and are hanging around
02:53 schestowitz; killall gemini-latest-videos.sh has eliminated many, but ffprobe remains
02:54 Techrights-sec; stuff from days ago:
02:54 Techrights-sec; ps -p $(systemctl status cron | grep CRON | grep -o -P '\d+' | tr '\n' ',' | sed
02:54 Techrights-sec; 's/,$//') -o pid,user,start,args
02:54 Techrights-sec; probably timeouts are needed in all the scripts
02:54 Techrights-sec; ack
02:55 schestowitz-TR; sleep now, very tired
02:55 schestowitz-TR; ukraine thing ansd work at home and outdoors left me nom time for vvideos
02:55 schestowitz-TR; and essays
02:55 schestowitz-TR; but will make up tomorrow

08:54 Techrights-sec; how many days has it been gone, it's been quite a while now
08:55 schestowitz-TR; I have not been counting
08:55 schestowitz-TR; but it can contribute to FUD about the project
08:55 schestowitz-TR; whose paricipants hardly have a plce to spoeak

08:55 schestowitz-TR; whose paricipants hardly have a plce to spoeak
08:56 Techrights-sec; Agreed.
08:57 schestowitz-TR; but is is so decentralised on many levels
08:57 schestowitz-TR; with the Web, removing some sites or schema
08:57 schestowitz-TR; would break some pages
08:57 schestowitz-TR; due to the nature of one site
08:57 schestowitz-TR; depending on many others
09:10 Techrights-sec; The important part is adherence to the standard

10:08 Techrights-sec; yes, he and Moscow Mitch and many others of their ilk are/were on the payroll
10:08 Techrights-sec; some of that is coming to light, albeit too slowly and too late
10:08 Techrights-sec; RT and Sputnik are no longer viable, they are propaganda with a carrier signal
10:08 Techrights-sec; of news. It's not worth trying to cherry pick because that just lends credibilit
10:08 Techrights-sec; y to their drivel

11:07 schestowitz-TR; I hope she does not have serious damage from it.
11:07 schestowitz-TR; Checking draft.
11:07 schestowitz-TR; The "phones" are even more dangerous than Windows, for many reasons, including
11:07 schestowitz-TR; lack of security but also through how the towers track the signals. Probably
11:07 schestowitz-TR; many troops on both sides have smuggled such tracking devices into the field.
11:07 schestowitz-TR; Then there is the mysterious baseband processor which only the bad actors and
11:07 schestowitz-TR; a few manufacturers have access to.
11:15 Techrights-sec; Even though both types of "smart" phone have subsumed a lot of FOSS technology
11:15 Techrights-sec; they are effectively closed, proprietary systems, especially Apple's.

14:09 schestowitz-TR; now working at all?
14:09 schestowitz-TR; *not
14:11 Techrights-sec; I haven't checked all the items but at least two seem not to work.
14:11 Techrights-sec; I moved the latest addition to the start of the file and it still does not
14:11 Techrights-sec; run AFAIK
14:11 Techrights-sec; gemini://gemini.techrights.org/chat/
14:11 Techrights-sec; ### Last updated 2022-2-26 at 13:45 UTC
14:12 Techrights-sec; Intermittent.
14:12 Techrights-sec; gemini-make-feed.pl seems not to run at all
14:12 schestowitz-TR; chat not updating was likely my fault
14:12 schestowitz-TR; watch was running in a window too small
14:12 schestowitz-TR; it goes a line long every day
14:33 Techrights-sec; Most of the others seem to run.
14:33 Techrights-sec; The wiki gets updated, for example.
15:26 Techrights-sec; more "tweets" in place of reliable news sources by mainstream media has
15:26 Techrights-sec; gotten much worse
15:27 schestowitz-TR; I've become more 'mean-spirited' towards social conterol media as a whole
15:27 schestowitz-TR; there is no assumption that people need to have a badsi understanding
15:27 schestowitz-TR; to comment on some subjects
15:27 schestowitz-TR; even stallman.org is full of guates'; guardian, soi I deleted that
15:27 schestowitz-TR; from my rss feeds
15:27 schestowitz-TR; I would rather read nothing at all about some topic than read bullshit about it
15:31 Techrights-sec; The misuse of tweets in place of news sources and in place of official
15:31 Techrights-sec; communicaton channels has worsened greatly. It is accepted as normal by
15:31 Techrights-sec; the "news" these days and not considered in light of its fundamental
15:31 Techrights-sec; drawbacks.
15:31 Techrights-sec; Unfortuantely the bullshit is all the news is starting to produce since they;ve
15:31 Techrights-sec; given on investigation. Also they are pushed into bullshit by (worst of all)
15:31 Techrights-sec; politicians and agencies which insist on makeing press statements via
15:31 Techrights-sec; social control media, perhaps even knowing full well that it is unreliable
15:31 Techrights-sec; afiltered and skewed.
15:31 Techrights-sec; Thus feeding the disinformation cycle.
15:33 schestowitz-TR; yes, exactly
15:33 schestowitz-TR; unlike you (I think(, I'm not all negatuive
15:33 schestowitz-TR; some decent news sources do exist
15:33 schestowitz-TR; they are not so well known
15:33 schestowitz-TR; and can be audited on the fly
15:33 schestowitz-TR; trhen rejected
15:33 schestowitz-TR; we do not need 1000 newsrooms
15:33 schestowitz-TR; the main issue then is,
15:33 schestowitz-TR; a lot of people around us are led to believe in BS
15:33 schestowitz-TR; even rianne
15:33 schestowitz-TR; who gets too much ""news" from gulagtube and billBC
15:33 schestowitz-TR; hence I was doing some fact checks lately
15:36 Techrights-sec; Ak
15:36 Techrights-sec; ack
15:36 Techrights-sec; my main complaint in the abobe is that the "news" articles from many services
15:36 Techrights-sec; have been leading in with "X tweeted that" or "X tweeted from their official
15:36 Techrights-sec; account that " and other sewage.
15:36 Techrights-sec; as everywhere else too
15:37 schestowitz-TR; I too write crap in social control media sometimes
15:37 schestowitz-TR; but I make it very clear, if typos do not give it aay,
15:37 schestowitz-TR; that theofficial messages are not in IRC
15:37 schestowitz-TR; or in some site that has hashtag
15:37 schestowitz-TR; the IRC channels have lately been devolving into russian/east euroe chat
15:37 schestowitz-TR; and that is not what techrights is actually about at all
15:37 schestowitz-TR; today I saw osnews adding a ukraine flag to their site's logo
15:37 schestowitz-TR; I doi not think their authors (still) have any connectiuon to that country
15:37 schestowitz-TR; those who i think were russian left ages ago
15:37 schestowitz-TR; some french diustro I nsaw yesterday (new release) added a message of
15:37 schestowitz-TR; solidarity toi the front page
15:38 Techrights-sec; "twactivism" is very empty, it has no effect
15:38 Techrights-sec; cutting of SWIFT would be a start but that's not "twactivism" or even activism
15:38 schestowitz-TR; every "like" receive is time wasting, not doing something that mibht
15:39 schestowitz-TR; actually have a real impact
15:40 schestowitz-TR; there was a US president (apparently) for 4 years who wrote lots of crap
15:40 schestowitz-TR; all hat crap vanished before he even finished his term
15:40 schestowitz-TR; but there was a lot of toxic residue in many peoplee's minds
15:48 Techrights-sec; ack
15:48 Techrights-sec; and social ccontol media, twitter in particular, fed off that anyway
15:49 schestowitz-TR; iirc, those were the only years Twitter ever temporarily made somem profit
15:50 Techrights-sec; annual or only quartely? I think only the latter happened.
15:50 schestowitz-TR; I did not check closely enough to see 4 consecutive quarters
15:51 schestowitz-TR; even in the weekend I still managed to scrape some actual Linux and BSD news off
15:51 schestowitz-TR; gulag noise
15:51 schestowitz-TR; as I am doing right now
15:51 schestowitz-TR; lately I've been adding some gemini links
15:51 schestowitz-TR; with the new software it'll be easier to find more of it
15:54 Techrights-sec; https://www.wsj.com/market-data/quotes/TWTR/financials/annual/income-statement
15:54 Techrights-sec; It's been quite hard to find reall, bonafide BSD or GNuLinux news for a long
15:54 Techrights-sec; time
15:54 Techrights-sec; https://www.nytimes.com/2022/02/10/technology/twitter-earnings-4q-2021.html
15:54 Techrights-sec; "Twitter also announced that its board had authorized a $4 billion buyback of its
15:54 Techrights-sec; stock."
15:54 Techrights-sec; Yes, you and Rianne have been doing a great job with TM. Fast and lots of

15:55 schestowitz-TR; on monday we'll see techdirt's make-or-break migration
15:55 schestowitz-TR; ime, when sites do this it is a last gasp
15:55 schestowitz-TR; tuxmachines will be OK as long as there is still a flow os info, even if
15:55 schestowitz-TR; it's just some developers' blog posts
15:55 schestowitz-TR; because gnu/linux users multiply (now many kde users on steam dreck)
15:55 schestowitz-TR; and they want to know what goes on
15:56 schestowitz-TR; Twitter exxists not for financial reasons
15:56 schestowitz-TR; similarlyly , Windows is part-time honeypot
15:56 schestowitz-TR; and anyone with a clue will NOT deploay a honeypot for critical infrA
16:00 Techrights-sec; Not a honeypot, since it is impossible to contain. More like a digital
16:00 Techrights-sec; Chernobyl

19:21 schestowitz-TR; the arse-covering by the employer was worth mentioning
19:21 schestowitz-TR; but I could only share the cover letter
19:21 schestowitz-TR; they did a 120-page report investigating themselves
19:21 schestowitz-TR; so funny
19:21 schestowitz-TR; but this is what I wanted
19:21 schestowitz-TR; like with NHS last year
19:21 schestowitz-TR; they put a lot of effort into it
19:21 schestowitz-TR; just to defend themselves from my accusations, which still stand btw

21:26 schestowitz-TR; it was a typing error, I meant 10
21:26 schestowitz-TR; but still, it forced them to spend a lot of time/effort arse-covering
21:26 schestowitz-TR; and if still debbunkable
21:26 schestowitz-TR; I won't bother
