06:42 schestowitz-TR; draft
06:42 Techrights-sec; the full name of Vidal should be used even if "Microsoft" is added as a nickhname
06:42 Techrights-sec; s/IP/IP {sic}
06:43 Techrights-sec; OOXML is not actually used by MSO so that's tiny but important detail to work
06:43 Techrights-sec; around and or note
06:43 Techrights-sec; the screenshot says DOCX, and that is a suite of formats and only peripherally
06:43 Techrights-sec; related to OOXML which no one actually uses, not even M$ itself
06:43 Techrights-sec; implying that OOXML is in use or that DOCX is a single format is misleading at
06:43 Techrights-sec; best
07:09 schestowitz-TR; thank you, very useful corrections
07:09 schestowitz-TR; later today the latest mortality report should be published
07:09 schestowitz-TR; I use those to make a point

07:44 Techrights-sec; :/
07:44 Techrights-sec; he had been doing so well for so long before selling out, now he sees what comes
07:44 Techrights-sec; of selling out; maybe he had a boost of income for a few weeks or even months,
07:44 Techrights-sec; but the cost came at driving away the audience he had; now that he has no
07:44 Techrights-sec; audience, the sponsors won't want him either;
07:46 schestowitz-TR; I want to frame this a little differently if you don't mind
07:46 schestowitz-TR; Phoronix was a hub
07:46 schestowitz-TR; many sites linked to it
07:46 schestowitz-TR; LT, TM (his biggest source of trtaffic, based on Alexa, which is now dead)...
07:46 schestowitz-TR; so for traffic he depended on more than just the people who follow via RSS etc.
07:46 schestowitz-TR; if he pisses off the primary sources of readers, new readers, and Twitter (Musk)
07:47 schestowitz-TR; won't salvage that (mostly fake numbers), you will be harmed
07:47 Techrights-sec; yes
07:47 Techrights-sec; s/you/he/
07:47 schestowitz-TR; yes, I noticed that error
07:47 schestowitz-TR; but did not bother correcting it
07:50 schestowitz-TR; even some of today's benchmarks feel "sponsored"
07:50 schestowitz-TR; not just amd and ms azure
07:50 schestowitz-TR; he just got a high-end laptop from tuxedo computing
07:50 schestowitz-TR; why would I link to a gift article?
07:50 Techrights-sec; ack
07:50 schestowitz-TR; i would be encouraging unethical behaviour

08:10 schestowitz-TR; rianne d doing covid test atm
08:10 schestowitz-TR; not because of feeling unwell
08:10 schestowitz-TR; just that we were exposed to a crowd the other day in the parade
08:10 schestowitz-TR; it could be the last time for decades or ever
08:10 schestowitz-TR; such is the nature of the English Football League/s
08:10 schestowitz-TR; some people do not stand in the parade
08:10 schestowitz-TR; they chase the basus, so there is a massive tidal wave of people coming as the buses apporoach
08:10 Techrights-sec; ack
08:16 schestowitz-TR; apropos, minirant, soft rant:
08:16 schestowitz-TR; 1) techdirt became mostly politicscopos, I liked it when it was more like torrentfreak topic-wise (and
08:16 schestowitz-TR; sometimes I agreee wiuth the seemingly libertarian "hand-off" slant)
08:16 schestowitz-TR; *hands
08:16 schestowitz-TR; 2) hackaday change its editor some months ago; they used toi hvave more Linux/open hardware/SBC content
08:16 schestowitz-TR; now it's reminding me of boingboing
08:16 Techrights-sec; yes when he sticks to tech he is spot on. On other topics he is 50%/50% whether
08:16 Techrights-sec; he is dealing facts or spouting disinformation
08:17 *u-amarsh04 has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s)
08:17 schestowitz-TR; the language used, even in headlines ometimes, aims to get hits
08:17 schestowitz-TR; bad language
08:18 schestowitz-TR; scoring an own goal
08:18 Techrights-sec; it's in the automated feeds, but I should make more of an effort to actually
08:18 Techrights-sec; look at it and select his useful posts for manual processing first
08:18 *u-amarsh04 has quit (Ping timeout: 120 seconds)
08:22 schestowitz-TR; we cannot be so picky anyway
08:22 schestowitz-TR; the site still covers mostly tech
08:22 Techrights-sec; ack
08:22 schestowitz-TR; and is a good source most of the time
08:22 schestowitz-TR; but the techdirt that was getting about 200 comments per post 10-15 yearsd ago is no more
08:23 schestowitz-TR; ref/s in mind: The Web We Had[*].
08:29 schestowitz-TR; <techrights-news> Small rant: a lot of today's dictionaries are Web-connected even though storage got a lot smaller and cheaper. My Palm PDA still has a full dictionary, but a lot of today's dictionaries for computing devices are spyware. They make no attempt to keep the data locally. For weather forecast that's understandable, but dictionaries???

19:11 Techrights-sec; it seems TM was temporarily unavailable at ~ 9:10 and ~ 13:25
19:11 schestowitz-TR; there was a heavy load, I saw that, and it went away before intervention was needd
19:11 schestowitz-TR; maybe 2 mins
19:11 schestowitz-TR; if the monitoring software claims a downtime very long, I think it's wrong because I tried very hard to keep it updated
19:11 schestowitz-TR; also, in TR I posted 3 batches of Daily Links already
19:11 schestowitz-TR; if the news is slow, then I can compensate by SPEED
19:11 schestowitz-TR; posting the news, FASTER
19:11 Techrights-sec; ack
19:11 Techrights-sec; I don't log duration here perhaps I should figure a way.
19:12 schestowitz-TR; montastic measures duration
19:12 schestowitz-TR; it's the only remaining use for the bytesmedia account this year
19:12 schestowitz-TR; so much real estate spam, I assume they target it because it's a .co.uk tld
19:16 schestowitz-TR; --
19:16 schestowitz-TR; I'm temporarily turning ipfs on when I need low latency
19:16 schestowitz-TR; for now, my efforts to 'fix' the existing scripts were not successful
19:16 schestowitz-TR; mostly by configuring things on the system
19:16 schestowitz-TR; debian really should NOT break APIs, not for a STABLE release
19:16 schestowitz-TR; this is insane
19:17 schestowitz-TR; I also had to fix several other things, wlan aside
19:17 schestowitz-TR; imagine if this was a business prod server
19:17 schestowitz-TR; apt update
19:17 schestowitz-TR; and then nginx does not starte
19:17 schestowitz-TR; networking does not work
19:17 schestowitz-TR; and a bunch of other little things need tweaking
19:17 schestowitz-TR; sooner or later businesses would stop updating systems, for the sake of stability
19:17 Techrights-sec; ack
19:21 Techrights-sec; debian has taken a bit hit in regards to reliability since the systemd
19:21 Techrights-sec; fiasco was used to hound out so many of the good developers
19:24 schestowitz-TR; I think you cannot see the output or running a tc script
19:24 schestowitz-TR; I tried "legacy" modes of sorts and changed $if to eth0
19:24 schestowitz-TR; I get:
19:24 schestowitz; sudo ./tc-shaper-v2.sh

19:25 schestowitz; Error: Specified qdisc not found.
19:25 schestowitz; Error: Parent Qdisc doesn't exists.
19:25 schestowitz; We have an error talking to the kernel
19:28 schestowitz-TR; at first I assumed that it was due to wlan changing to eth
19:28 schestowitz-TR; but soon I realised it was not
19:28 schestowitz-TR; I searched some of these error messages, which seem common
19:28 schestowitz-TR; on rhel systems they have some workarounds
19:28 schestowitz-TR; but really, in the long run, a small rewrite would give this longevity
19:28 schestowitz-TR; it's hard to know how far we get through ipfs because of thr decentralised nature of i
19:28 schestowitz-TR; but it helps to put out there those objects with constrained network capacity
19:29 Techrights-sec; nope
19:29 Techrights-sec; $ ifconfig wlan0
19:29 Techrights-sec; wlan0: error fetching interface information: Device not found
19:29 Techrights-sec; is the country code set via raspi-config ?
19:29 Techrights-sec; the wireless interface has to be which country's rules to operate under
19:29 Techrights-sec; ack
19:32 schestowitz-TR; after the update and reboot (week later) I did notice that when booting it was throwing some kernel-relared errors
19:32 schestowitz-TR; the hardware is OK, based on the clone system, which gets to wifi OK
19:32 schestowitz-TR; so I blame system update and I think the kernel part in particulart
19:32 schestowitz-TR; there is no grub, so changing to another kernel isn't simple
19:32 schestowitz-TR; and using access to direct it to another kernel, which might not work
19:32 schestowitz-TR; would lock me out
19:32 schestowitz-TR; unable to even boot to undo the changes
19:32 schestowitz-TR; so it's riskier than just plugging in via eth0
19:32 schestowitz-TR; I already configures the router and some existing code to use this new device name and interface
19:32 schestowitz-TR; and so I don't worry too much
19:32 schestowitz-TR; in fact, I assume futyure updates with new kernels might "fix" the wlan
19:32 schestowitz-TR; not that I would revert back to it at that point
19:33 schestowitz-TR; but the tc issue has been a real pain because I turn ipfs on and off
19:33 schestowitz-TR; just not to be offline completly, esp. not when we add new objects to it (~3am)
19:53 schestowitz-TR; One thing I treuly love about the pi series is,
19:53 schestowitz-TR; you can cheaply have a whole bunch of redundant pieces of hw clones
19:53 schestowitz-TR; and then make a set of clones of the software or system
19:53 schestowitz-TR; and swapo those around
19:53 schestowitz-TR; I did notice that running from USB ist is vastly slower than sd
19:53 schestowitz-TR; and the menus can be hardly esponsive
19:54 Techrights-sec; have you tried 'rfkill' with its options?
19:54 Techrights-sec; try 'rfkill list'
19:54 Techrights-sec; yes that's a big advantage
19:54 Techrights-sec; the storage media and the devices themselves can be interchangeable
19:54 Techrights-sec; strange, was the USB plugged into one of the USB3 ports (blue) ?
20:16 Techrights-sec; WAN seems to have dropped
20:17 schestowitz-TR; That explains why the pi400 is so slo
20:17 schestowitz-TR; *slow
20:17 schestowitz-TR; I've just checks, the stick is inserted into a black -coloured port
20:17 schestowitz-TR; I did not know those colours had a meaning
20:52 schestowitz-TR; I tried rfkill
20:52 schestowitz-TR; I also checked the manpages
20:52 schestowitz-TR; but it gets me nowhere and it's labeled legacy, deprecated
20:52 schestowitz-TR; I reckon I can buy more devices like this one in the future, but
20:52 schestowitz-TR; this last experience with the sytem update was a bummer
20:52 schestowitz-TR; a lot worse than the outage itself (thankfully, no repetition of such
20:52 schestowitz-TR; an incident since then)
