14:58 schestowitz-TR; I said,
14:58 schestowitz-TR; wait there are 3 links about a new Microsoft FUD
14:58 schestowitz-TR; The one about "dirty pipe" is old news
14:58 schestowitz-TR; I think you pasted something from makeuseof
14:58 schestowitz-TR; and then quoted two links from it
14:58 schestowitz-TR; which I saw briefly
14:58 schestowitz-TR; maybe then tried to pasted another
14:59 Techrights-sec; yes #######################################
14:59 Techrights-sec; CVE-2022-0847 an co *are* old
14:59 Techrights-sec; https://www.makeuseof.com/what-is-the-dirty-pipe-exploit-in-linux-and-fix-it/
14:59 Techrights-sec; """
14:59 Techrights-sec; The attack surface of Dirty Pipe stretches across all Linux kernel versions from 5.8 to 5.16.11. In layman's terms,
14:59 Techrights-sec; it means that all the distros, from Ubuntu to Arch and everything in between, are susceptible to being compromised
14:59 -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-www.makeuseof.com | What Is the Dirty Pipe Exploit in Linux and How Can You Fix It?
14:59 Techrights-sec; by Dirty Pipe.
14:59 Techrights-sec; Affected Linux kernel versions range from 5.8 to 5.10.101.
14:59 Techrights-sec; """
15:00 schestowitz-TR; There are two issues to cover (actually 3, I will mention ntfs neglect too)
15:00 schestowitz-TR; but the main one is from Goodin and Bleeping garbage
15:00 Techrights-sec; The problem sounds more like it is that many mobile and, especially, embedded
15:00 Techrights-sec; systems don't / can't easily get kaintained
15:00 Techrights-sec; despite being connected to the net.
15:01 schestowitz-TR; they should have used simpler OSes, with smaller attack surface, and keep them OFF the Net where possible
15:01 schestowitz-TR; but like browsers and sites throwing everything at you in bulk
15:01 schestowitz-TR; they overcomplicate things for saving's sake
15:01 schestowitz-TR; because small can be more expensive
15:01 schestowitz-TR; small requires extra effort
15:02 Techrights-sec; A problem is that everything nowadays has a network stack and the quick
15:02 Techrights-sec; way to do that is throw a kernel at it
15:02 Techrights-sec; ^Linux, specifically
15:02 Techrights-sec; Making it smaller requires effort and skill
15:06 schestowitz-TR; =====
15:06 schestowitz-TR; this is good for outsourcers
15:06 schestowitz-TR; outsource software
15:06 schestowitz-TR; outsource servers (hardware)
15:06 schestowitz-TR; outsource dns
15:06 schestowitz-TR; outsource "apps"
15:06 schestowitz-TR; open an account
15:06 schestowitz-TR; type in credit card
15:06 schestowitz-TR; memorise GUI
15:06 schestowitz-TR; some stand to benefit from this IT as "consumerist" model
15:06 schestowitz-TR; even "apps" are now "storee"
15:06 schestowitz-TR; in palmOS it was not like this
15:08 Techrights-sec; Except that everything has been outsourced even the outsourcing so there
15:08 Techrights-sec; is nothing there to build upon.
16:15 schestowitz-TR; bbiab
16:15 schestowitz-TR; draft
16:16 Techrights-sec; ack
16:16 Techrights-sec; same preview problem, probably related to HTTPS
16:16 Techrights-sec; yep logging out and back in again makes it accessible
16:16 Techrights-sec; The first paragraph ought to place the article in the series as well as mention
16:16 Techrights-sec; in at least one line what the main point of the article will be
16:16 Techrights-sec; How are Jung and SaM related to M$ and EPO?
16:16 Techrights-sec; Last paragraph ought to have a conclusion or reverse summary
16:23 schestowitz-TR; I am going to expand the summary
16:23 Techrights-sec; .
16:23 Techrights-sec; ack
16:24 schestowitz-TR; ota in a few mins, rianne should do a round for tuxmachines before me to avoid collusion/dupes
16:24 schestowitz-TR; I will record 2 videos
16:24 schestowitz-TR; *collision
16:27 Techrights-sec; thanks
16:28 schestowitz-TR; gonna leave out the "OVER-THE-AIR" updates thing
16:28 schestowitz-TR; and embedded devices
16:28 schestowitz-TR; and small OS aspect
16:28 schestowitz-TR; that 's used to discredit Linux for being bloated
16:28 schestowitz-TR; but the key point is
16:28 schestowitz-TR; Windows is a lot worse and a lot less safe
16:28 schestowitz-TR; so I will focus on that
16:28 schestowitz-TR; I won't link to the articles, I can instead show them on the screen in part
16:28 schestowitz-TR; and make fun
16:28 schestowitz-TR; OTA
16:30 schestowitz-TR; ok
16:30 schestowitz-TR; no need to feed them traffic
16:30 schestowitz-TR; yes but not only is windows worse, harder to use and maintain, and a lot
16:30 Techrights-sec; ok
16:30 Techrights-sec; no need to feed them traffic
16:30 Techrights-sec; yes but not only is windows worse, harder to use and maintain, and a lot
16:30 Techrights-sec; (really a lot) less safe, all those shortcomings are taken for granted
16:30 schestowitz-TR; (really a lot) less safe, all those shortcomings are taken for granted
16:30 Techrights-sec; and people have become inured to them and will need to be shaken out of the
16:30 Techrights-sec; complacancy or apathy
16:30 schestowitz-TR; and people have become inured to them and will need to be shaken out of the
16:30 schestowitz-TR; complacancy or apathy
16:30 Techrights-sec; yes, all system are not perfect, no that deviation from the ideal is not on
16:30 schestowitz-TR; yes, all system are not perfect, no that deviation from the ideal is not on
16:30 Techrights-sec; the same scale with windows
16:30 schestowitz-TR; the same scale with windows

18:21 schestowitz-TR; will have drafts ready soon
18:21 schestowitz-TR; got holiday apporoved 10-11/52022
18:21 schestowitz-TR; 5/2022
18:21 schestowitz-TR; i have 26 days for the year, I get to choose when
18:21 schestowitz-TR; instead of fixed at quiet times like xmas
18:21 schestowitz-TR; I did not use any in March and April, in effect saving them for later
18:22 schestowitz-TR; drafts on the way, will quot you a little
18:23 Techrights-sec; 2 days?
18:23 Techrights-sec; nice
18:23 schestowitz-TR; I say to people that they can read more in IRC to avoid repetition
18:23 schestowitz-TR; and in #techrights main channel I've not participated much lately
18:23 schestowitz-TR; it's doing ok on its own, relatively speaking
18:23 Techrights-sec; the quotes are not of high quality though
18:25 Techrights-sec; good that IRC is being taken care of on that channel
18:26 schestowitz-TR; as you said, irc can be a "lot of work"
18:26 schestowitz-TR; also, it is real time so attention and focus are impacted
18:45 schestowitz; given what you sent me this morning, I had to check to see it's not conde nast
18:45 schestowitz; or some other nasty thing
18:45 schestowitz; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variety_(magazine)
18:45 -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-en.wikipedia.org | Variety (magazine) - Wikipedia
18:45 schestowitz; turns out Variety is VERYOLD
18:46 schestowitz-TR; draft (getting coffee)
18:59 Techrights-sec; it sometimes covers some relevant topics
18:59 Techrights-sec; https://www.homegrounds.co/how-long-should-i-boil-coffee-for/
18:59 -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-www.homegrounds.co | How Long Should I Boil Coffee For?
19:01 schestowitz-TR; so far I saw nothing I disliked about it
19:01 schestowitz-TR; then again, similar weekly and daily "household" brands got scooped up by Condy Nasty and turned nasty
19:01 schestowitz-TR; Vanity Fair is one of them, IRC
19:01 schestowitz-TR; always reminds me of Variety
19:02 Techrights-sec; we'll see how well they continue to do, it's been rather good so far
19:02 Techrights-sec; They;ve been in the daily links since 2017
19:04 Techrights-sec; Vanity Fair is a whole different audience / genre
19:04 Techrights-sec; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vanity_Fair_(magazines)
19:04 Techrights-sec; That's Conde Nast
19:04 -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-en.wikipedia.org | Vanity Fair (magazines) - Wikipedia
19:05 Techrights-sec; I always feel I have to wash my hands or something after referring to Wikipedia
19:05 Techrights-sec; :(
19:06 schestowitz-TR; haha, you beat me to it
19:06 schestowitz-TR; I was literally about to open the same in wikipedia
19:06 schestowitz-TR; and did
19:06 schestowitz-TR; only to realise you already opened tyhe same page
19:06 schestowitz-TR; The Internet or Web lack high-quality sites andf those that are good or were good get bought, infiltrated, perturbe
19:06 schestowitz-TR; d
19:06 schestowitz-TR; because there is financial incentive to do this
19:06 schestowitz-TR; in paper form it's trickier to do this
19:06 schestowitz-TR; SEO, anon edits, threats, DDOS...
19:07 Techrights-sec; I don't trust it but it often contains links to sources that /are/ rather
19:07 Techrights-sec; authoritative
19:08 schestowitz-TR; or it REMOVED such links
19:08 schestowitz-TR; see OSI/Simmons
19:08 schestowitz-TR; because it's "toxic" to sugest some orgs like EPO or OSI don't defend their mission
19:09 schestowitz-TR; people who infiltrate orgs for eprsonal or corporate gain would do the same to sites that write about such org
19:09 schestowitz-TR; wikipedia, media...
19:34 Techrights-sec; often the good links get removed from wikipedia, like in the ODF fight M$ put up
19:35 schestowitz-TR; "sponsored" edits are the best edits (Jolliffe)
19:35 schestowitz-TR; The shadow "wikipedia economy"
19:35 schestowitz-TR; thank you, Microsoft
19:35 schestowitz-TR; finally there is a "business model"
