11:47 schestowitz-TR; very good news about tim bray!
16:48 Techrightssec; checking his blog now ...
16:49 schestowitz-TR; if enough people leave and explain why, others will follow
16:49 Techrightssec; you mean leaving twitter? yes that is great. it is even better that he has
16:49 Techrightssec; blogged prominently about it
16:55 Techrightssec; it has already passed a tipping point in regards to staffing
16:55 Techrightssec; the rest will probably take care of itself
16:59 schestowitz-TR; it is a chicken and user thing: staff<->users
16:59 schestowitz-TR; if suers leave in droves, incentive to correct staffing is lower
16:59 schestowitz-TR; if staff leaves in drives, serve worksens on several levels
16:59 schestowitz-TR; and users loe interest
16:59 schestowitz-TR; even before thr takeover twitter had become more of a desrt eahc month
16:59 schestowitz-TR; today we installed another recipe application on the pi
16:59 schestowitz-TR; gournet and gnome-recipe
16:59 schestowitz-TR; the latter is connected to the first, sort of like successor
17:03 Techrightssec; which program works best for those?
17:03 schestowitz-TR; gnome-recipe
19:11 schestowitz-TR; backups done:
19:11 schestowitz-TR; tenton (rianne)
19:11 schestowitz-TR; tuxmachines www dir
19:11 schestowitz-TR; techrights wordpress db
19:11 schestowitz-TR; (offsite backups of these, too)
19:11 Techrightssec; ack
19:11 schestowitz-TR; just in case
19:11 schestowitz-TR; the targz of tm grew about 40mb in the past half month
19:11 schestowitz-TR; uptime of that site has been excellent, today I had to run ddos mitigation for old-tm
19:11 schestowitz-TR; the usual reason
19:11 schestowitz-TR; that site still does almost 3 hits/sec
19:11 schestowitz-TR; despite having nothing new in months
19:12 schestowitz-TR; as many people still point to the rss feed on that domain/ip
19:12 schestowitz-TR; uptime issues for that site can impact readers of news.tm
19:12 schestowitz-TR; still, better than being a fool of feedburner, relying on it as a relay until Gulag decides "there's
19:12 schestowitz-TR; no money in it" hence shutdown
19:12 schestowitz-TR; can't wait for amazon to turn off alexa
19:12 schestowitz-TR; and millions of devices of all kinds will be rendered bricks
19:12 schestowitz-TR; then we'll see who's "smart" and who was whose "assistant"
19:13 Techrightssec; they'll use that as an excuse to sell all the recordings and other data
19:13 Techrightssec; they've surrepetiously collected
19:16 schestowitz-TR; or
19:16 schestowitz-TR; 1) textualised (i.e meta)data of those recordings
19:16 schestowitz-TR; 2) annotated based on voice (ID), time-tagged
19:16 schestowitz-TR; 3) bonus: detect voide of house/office guests
19:16 schestowitz-TR; hey, it's not like companies or products never shut down and then sold their "assets" or "IP" or "data"
19:16 schestowitz-TR; 'anonymized' [sic] data
19:16 schestowitz-TR; totally harmless, nobody can seam that together|!
19:16 schestowitz-TR; Parallel Construction <3 Aleca Leads
19:16 schestowitz-TR; "how did you get this data?"
19:16 schestowitz-TR; "nothing, we just knew where and what to sniff"
19:16 schestowitz-TR; like that CIA-connected (via Spain) firm that put bugs in the London embassy
19:16 Techrightssec; that too
19:16 Techrightssec; parallel construction is a wide spread practice despite or because of its
19:16 Techrightssec; illegality
19:18 schestowitz-TR; workplaces do that too (commercial)
19:18 schestowitz-TR; not just governments ("public" sector, inc. military/froce)
19:18 schestowitz-TR; *force
19:18 schestowitz-TR; alexa and ring have already given cops lots to latch onto
19:18 schestowitz-TR; like, if they don't like eric garner being filmed by some dude (he too is dead now, he had been arested as well)
19:18 schestowitz-TR; eric's daughter had a heart failure at age ~30 iirc
19:19 Techrightssec; yep
19:22 schestowitz-TR; she was well overweight, like her dad
19:22 schestowitz-TR; but erica had become a thorn on HRC's side
19:22 schestowitz-TR; causing lots of black americans not to vote blue
19:22 schestowitz-TR; just because she died
19:22 schestowitz-TR; the usa has a long history of getting rid of black martyrs
19:22 schestowitz-TR; endless list, mlk and malcolm x are among the better known "suspects"
19:22 schestowitz-TR; there are many more
19:22 schestowitz-TR; and you can never prove anything
19:23 schestowitz-TR; /s/just because/just before/
19:23 Techrightssec; true
19:27 schestowitz-TR; they should know it's trouble when they became
19:27 schestowitz-TR; 1) influential and
19:27 schestowitz-TR; 2) not in a way that perpetuates "White Power"
19:27 schestowitz-TR; Will Smith is not a good example
19:27 schestowitz-TR; Macy grey got in trouble for merely insisting on women's identity
19:27 schestowitz-TR; Houston dead, so is her daughter (only daughter IIRC)
19:27 schestowitz-TR; but that was due to drugs
19:27 schestowitz-TR; and related aspects
19:27 schestowitz-TR; michael jackson also drugs, iirc the GP's fault in part
19:27 Techrightssec; hrc's minions threw the primary, and ended up being the biggest factor in the
19:27 Techrightssec; 2016 loss
19:27 schestowitz-TR; chapelle was considered acceptable until he turned against his "masters"
19:28 Techrightssec; ack
19:31 schestowitz-TR; showbiz is, in general very deadly
19:31 schestowitz-TR; those who experience anticlimatic episode tend to end up hooked on some very hard drugs
19:31 schestowitz-TR; and the chance of early death seem very high in that occupation
19:31 schestowitz-TR; i recently found out after his fall from grace spike jones basically 'killed' himself with endless chain smoking
19:31 schestowitz-TR; his late wife died only days before I found out about that
19:55 schestowitz-TR; updating gem capsules to fetch from the new url
19:55 schestowitz-TR; the hostname was embedded in .ssh config
19:55 schestowitz-TR; done, tested
19:55 schestowitz-TR; only needed changing in one place, how very elegant
19:55 schestowitz-TR; i will probably need to clone the pi again some time soon
19:55 schestowitz-TR; there is now spare hardware, too
