01:20 schestowitz-pi2; running ddos protection now
02:47 schestowitz-pi2; i think I found a solution!
02:47 schestowitz-pi2; open firefox locally on another machine, bringing in the feeds megafile over ssh
02:47 schestowitz-pi2; then I have a 3-screen setup for handling feeds
02:47 schestowitz-pi2; and the graphics are all rendered locally

07:03 schestowitz-pi2; it is like a miracle
07:04 schestowitz-pi2; the fish starts to eat a little today
07:04 schestowitz-pi2; we moved her to the hospital exactly a week ago
07:04 schestowitz-pi2; and she did not eat or poo since then
07:04 schestowitz-pi2; now she swims better
07:04 schestowitz-pi2; and it looks like the little parasite we saw is off her body
07:04 schestowitz-pi2; the body is not thin
07:04 schestowitz-pi2; and she looks health
07:04 schestowitz-pi2; she no longer swims vertically or diagonally, just slowly and horizontally
07:04 schestowitz-pi2; if she regains her appetiate and starts pooing again, we can moved her from the epsom hospital to
07:04 schestowitz-pi2; meet the new "kids"
07:04 schestowitz-pi2; but i don't want to get my expectations too high just yet
07:04 schestowitz-pi2; on tuesday i was about to discard her as she looked dead already
07:04 schestowitz-pi2; and last water change she was collapsing to her side, then woke up among impact
07:04 schestowitz-pi2; she only bited the freshly0-entered food at the top now, but barely
07:04 schestowitz-pi2; like bolimic

07:06 techrights[sec]; The SFTP client can fetch individual files easily, as part of a script.
07:06 techrights[sec]; There is also a -b optino which can read a batch of SFTP commands

07:11 schestowitz-pi2; going to try the ssh thing now, or in a moment, as a laptop fell offline
07:11 schestowitz-pi2; rianne did not plug the unit in the socket
07:11 schestowitz-pi2; so it went to sleep
07:11 schestowitz-pi2; one of the upsides of being "pulse"-like-connected to irc
07:11 schestowitz-pi2; you know when connections are lost
07:11 schestowitz-pi2; based on what leaves irc
07:11 schestowitz-pi2; many homes in us losing power atm
07:11 schestowitz-pi2; some for days
07:11 schestowitz-pi2; rich portland home lost it for 6 dsyd
07:11 schestowitz-pi2; no linux kernel work for almost a a week
07:11 schestowitz-pi2; in cold places, inc. some us states, no power can lead to death
07:11 schestowitz-pi2; def. in most of canada
07:11 schestowitz-pi2; that can kill a lot more than a terror attack would
07:11 schestowitz-pi2; and is totally preventable without enough financial investmenta
07:11 schestowitz-pi2; and polical will
07:11 techrights[sec]; The power outages there seem due to malfeasance.

07:27 techrights[sec]; The political will would be needed to rein in the various corporations involved
07:27 techrights[sec]; in not maintaining the lines proplerly.
07:33 schestowitz-pi2; rianne has two lots, but they are in cities where there are even more fundamental isues
07:33 schestowitz-pi2; for instance, some water is sourced from pumping (underground wells)
07:33 schestowitz-pi2; not clean enoug for drinking, low water pressure (need to buy motor for good current), and sometimes
07:33 schestowitz-pi2; lots of air instead of water
07:33 schestowitz-pi2; due to insufficient capacity
07:33 schestowitz-pi2; this has ruined some nearby "high-profile" projects/developments
07:33 schestowitz-pi2; you can make a nice house
07:33 schestowitz-pi2; but you cannot just "buy" access to good water infra
07:33 schestowitz-pi2; set aside electricity
07:33 schestowitz-pi2; that's another issue, which impacts connectivity
07:33 schestowitz-pi2; making a country work well starts with good infra
07:33 schestowitz-pi2; the manchester infra is relatively robust
07:33 schestowitz-pi2; we're considered a strategic city for northern england
07:33 schestowitz-pi2; so i expect this to stay that way for decades
07:33 schestowitz-pi2; btw, manchester did (at the end) bring that trophy home
07:33 schestowitz-pi2; even i watched the goals, which is against my post-qatar 'policy'
07:33 schestowitz-pi2; but such games are very rare (final) and it was 3-min long
07:33 schestowitz-pi2; youtube is becoming a thing to avoid not out of principles but out of pure pragmatism
07:44 techrights[sec]; Youtube is impractical to watch any more.
07:44 techrights[sec]; I notice that more sites have ceased writeups and articles and are starting
07:44 techrights[sec]; to merely link to AP or Reuters or other wireservice.
07:48 schestowitz-pi2; kent's (uni) is CNN
07:48 schestowitz-pi2; and some few oithers
07:48 schestowitz-pi2; umich went on weekend-long pause
07:48 schestowitz-pi2; and stated that upfrontg
07:48 schestowitz-pi2; emory is on and off
07:48 schestowitz-pi2; like active one day, inactive the next
07:48 schestowitz-pi2; i have one friend from emory, but he's british-irish
07:49 schestowitz-pi2; as for michael west, he's drowning in aap
07:49 schestowitz-pi2; he dliuted his own site
07:49 schestowitz-pi2; and now he popsts things that contradict his (and his colleagues') general message
07:49 schestowitz-pi2; just to maintain traffic
07:49 schestowitz-pi2; in effect doing no real service
07:49 schestowitz-pi2; just offering some web space and hosting to AP
07:49 schestowitz-pi2; there was another example I had in mind but forgot about
07:49 schestowitz-pi2; muktware (now known as 'tfir') is lots of copy-pasted press releases
07:49 schestowitz-pi2; mindly etited by monika
07:49 schestowitz-pi2; former colleague of spamnil
07:49 schestowitz-pi2; when he was paid to actually write things, not relay trash for bad and/or very obscure companies
08:24 schestowitz-pi2; cure companies
08:24 schestowitz-pi2; in your links under overpop is a common smear debunked, i put in editorial comments before
08:24 schestowitz-pi2; a note to say media conflates the term "infertility" with something else, to shame people to make consumers
08:26 techrights[sec]; checking
08:26 techrights[sec]; Yes, there is propaganda pushing for further overpopulation.
08:26 techrights[sec]; However, the "propganda" catageory is generally about propaganda rather than
08:26 techrights[sec]; specific examples of it.
08:26 techrights[sec]; Or of it getting debunked.

08:29 schestowitz-pi2; if it was a health issue, it would be treated as such
08:29 schestowitz-pi2; i know someone who had 9 babies and 9 dead babies
08:29 schestowitz-pi2; hardly an accomplishment
08:29 schestowitz-pi2; 18 with 50% "success rate" since
08:29 schestowitz-pi2; mid teens
08:29 schestowitz-pi2; she still said "CONDON" [sic] in her 80s
08:29 schestowitz-pi2; can't even say it right
08:29 schestowitz-pi2; illiterate
08:41 schestowitz-pi2; in the old days, many kids helped artound the farm
08:41 schestowitz-pi2; now it is child labour
08:41 schestowitz-pi2; and you cannot discpline a kid
08:41 schestowitz-pi2; that's a crime
08:41 schestowitz-pi2; in the old days, more kids meant more warriors for the village, or more girls to make
08:41 schestowitz-pi2; future warriors
08:41 schestowitz-pi2; but human population was like 8 million, not 8 billions, and weapons were carried by limbs
08:41 schestowitz-pi2; "cannon fodder"
08:41 schestowitz-pi2; kids can still help the parents, like i used to do laundry and such (housework)
08:41 schestowitz-pi2; the prooblem is when kids are sold outside the family as labourers
08:41 schestowitz-pi2; or worse, as sex objects
08:41 schestowitz-pi2; (happens, not covered much in the media for various reasons)
08:44 schestowitz-pi2; biab, gym
08:44 schestowitz-pi2; fish swimming a bit more, bites the flakes a little

09:53 schestowitz-pi2; i plan to do coverage of CAs
09:53 schestowitz-pi2; seeing that many people 'borrow' the ideas
09:53 schestowitz-pi2; and another to suggest alternatives to github
09:53 schestowitz-pi2; maybe another part in the 2021- series
09:53 schestowitz-pi2; just need more 'beef' for these
09:53 schestowitz-pi2; the fish started swimming more vigorously at times
09:53 schestowitz-pi2; a good sign
10:40 schestowitz-pi2; good news: 2 days ago i wrote that gemini growth was slowing down
10:40 schestowitz-pi2; but in the 2 days since then geminispace became busier again
10:40 schestowitz-pi2; not sure why
10:40 schestowitz-pi2; it sometimes happens
10:40 schestowitz-pi2; it sometimes happens when the media promotes it somewhere
10:40 schestowitz-pi2; like spiegel
10:43 schestowitz-pi2; gemini://gemini.bortzmeyer.org/software/lupa/stats.gmi about 10 new capsules since that video
11:03 schestowitz-pi2; re scotus, eff did cover the issue in prior years
11:04 schestowitz-pi2; now it's like fsf, hardly saying or even doing much
11:04 schestowitz-pi2; i might add, that's kind of like mozilla too (SF, overlap)
11:05 schestowitz-pi2; theory: it pays better to not say anything, i.e. not piss off anyone "important"
11:05 schestowitz-pi2; then, donations will come from those who prefer for you to be inactive
11:05 schestowitz-pi2; and for firefox to bleed to death
11:06 schestowitz-pi2; on one machine i cannot install any theme or extension in firefox
11:06 schestowitz-pi2; seems like a very basic bug
11:06 schestowitz-pi2; eff did cover section 260 before
11:18 *DaemonFC has quit (Quit: Leaving)
12:24 techrights[sec]; EFF did cover Section 230 before but there is very important activity going
12:24 techrights[sec]; on now that ought to be tracked.
12:24 schestowitz-pi2; EFF stopped covering it
12:24 schestowitz-pi2; so it's probably not so important ^_^
12:26 techrights[sec]; :/
12:26 schestowitz-pi2; same for EPO and swpats
12:26 schestowitz-pi2; last year they issued a bizarre face-saving statement
12:26 schestowitz-pi2; to the effect of, we cannot cover everything
12:26 schestowitz-pi2; me: you hardly cover ANYTHING anymore
12:26 schestowitz-pi2; they are not understaffed except willfully
12:26 schestowitz-pi2; btw, their finances turned sour years ago
12:26 schestowitz-pi2; go see the Charity Navigator
12:26 schestowitz-pi2; I think I took screenshots of that
12:47 techrights[sec]; They lost their donation base when they stopped with following their charter
12:47 techrights[sec]; They cover basically nothing for the money they have had
12:47 schestowitz-pi2; "lie back, do nothing"
12:47 schestowitz-pi2; -corporate interests
12:52 schestowitz-pi2; out of curiousity, knowing that posting style changed somewhat in TM
12:52 schestowitz-pi2; with in-line stuff or in-blockquote stuff, i checked the gemtext versions of pages
12:52 schestowitz-pi2; they all seem OK
12:52 schestowitz-pi2; coping with the additional stuff
12:52 schestowitz-pi2; thought about doing a video about carpet, footrest, mice, cameras and peripherals
12:52 schestowitz-pi2; how to manage these in this office
12:52 schestowitz-pi2; which used to be the dining room
12:52 schestowitz-pi2; other than that, it's only semi articles
12:52 schestowitz-pi2; incomplete ideas
12:52 schestowitz-pi2; it does not help that in foss-o-sphere there is little original reporting
12:52 schestowitz-pi2; it's more like an echo chamber
12:53 schestowitz-pi2; phoronix is unappealing
12:53 schestowitz-pi2; i stopped even clicking
12:53 techrights[sec]; I haven't checked Phoronix on purpose fora while. The headlines show up in \some searches somehow, perhaps m$
12:53 techrights[sec]; SEO, but the headlines have indicated trash
12:53 techrights[sec]; content only.
12:57 schestowitz-pi2; lkmlgit +50 ----+++++ something.c
12:57 schestowitz-pi2; ----->>>
12:57 schestowitz-pi2; Google Noise - 'Linux': something something Linux 6.3 - Phoronix
12:57 schestowitz-pi2; sorry, won't click
12:57 schestowitz-pi2; MIGHT click on lkml/git if it was more easily accessible and now just a mesh of numbers
12:57 schestowitz-pi2; something with email domains in the URL
12:57 schestowitz-pi2; for a number of months, in 2022 for the most part, I used phoronix as a vessel to see the original
12:57 schestowitz-pi2; messages in MLs about what was changed and who by
12:57 schestowitz-pi2; skipped the middeleman
12:57 schestowitz-pi2; but many links were gitlab, which didn't render at all in quiterss (JS always turned off)
12:57 schestowitz-pi2; or, worse yet, microsoft crap (github)
12:57 schestowitz-pi2; so many links were not usable either
13:01 techrights[sec]; The most recent batch of links weighed in at around 170 links. That's
13:01 techrights[sec]; a lot, way too many for a single page IMHO
13:07 schestowitz-pi2; yes, there is always this difficulty and dilemma
13:07 schestowitz-pi2; due to link clustering esp. for tuxmachines
13:07 schestowitz-pi2; the cutoff determines where the clustering stops
13:07 schestowitz-pi2; i needed some more howos and stuch
13:07 schestowitz-pi2; to avoid stuff like generic "today's leftovers"
13:07 schestowitz-pi2; better if everything left over can be retrofitted into a group
13:07 schestowitz-pi2; still refining this process over time
13:07 schestowitz-pi2; it's a never-ending optimisation
13:07 schestowitz-pi2; as the goalposts too are moving
13:07 schestowitz-pi2; if you can think if better workflows, that will def. help
13:07 schestowitz-pi2; i know where the weaknesses are
13:07 schestowitz-pi2; this is one of them
13:07 schestowitz-pi2; atm i try to come up with "worthy" topic
13:07 schestowitz-pi2; not to shitpost for quota's sake
13:07 schestowitz-pi2; i stopped doing memes for now
13:07 schestowitz-pi2; they are not a priority
13:07 schestowitz-pi2; poems i stopped years ago
13:07 schestowitz-pi2; there is suff going on behind the sceenes
13:07 schestowitz-pi2; github, epo, upc, wipo/iana
13:07 schestowitz-pi2; and irc, even if disruption abated somewhat, is still a source of distraction
13:07 schestowitz-pi2; i seriously think of removing phoronix out of my sight completely, but that would not leave much
13:07 schestowitz-pi2; for kernel space
13:07 schestowitz-pi2; i could do a video to show firefox failing to get extensions on kdeneon, but that's a bug, not intentional
13:31 techrights[sec]; Is Thierry Breton leading another attack against Net Neutr
13:32 schestowitz-pi2; i aw that koch-funded reason foundation (reason.com) does
13:32 schestowitz-pi2; *saw
13:32 schestowitz-pi2; did not notice EC/EU
13:34 techrights[sec]; It is elsewhere too
13:34 techrights[sec]; Times of India has it
13:34 techrights[sec]; There are some good papers in India and they tend to cover EU and US better
13:34 techrights[sec]; than the US papers and about as good as the EU ones.
13:35 techrights[sec]; Though some of that comes from the wire feed services which the US-based
13:35 techrights[sec]; sites tend to ignore.
13:36 schestowitz-pi2; they have a conflict of interest
13:36 schestowitz-pi2; as "established" media
13:39 schestowitz-pi2; if you see
13:39 schestowitz-pi2; draft
13:39 schestowitz-pi2; can you suggest the next section/s?
13:40 techrights[sec]; The spin is to label double-dipping/double-billing as "fair share" and
13:40 techrights[sec]; that gets parroted a lot now.
13:40 techrights[sec]; checking
13:40 techrights[sec]; Nice
13:40 techrights[sec]; Let's Encrypt was a good step but only one step in a direction. Unfortunately
13:40 techrights[sec]; Mozilla and Google have headed that off by preventing self-signed certificates.

13:43 techrights[sec]; literature.
13:51 schestowitz-pi2; ok, drafting

13:51 schestowitz-pi2; anything else?
