03:02 Techrights-sec; The ~stack post misses the point that it is a full, general-purpose computer.
03:02 Techrights-sec; not a microcontroller. However, the complaints about the exploitation by
03:02 Techrights-sec; scalpers still stand.
04:25 schestowitz-TR; Yes, I did not fancy the headline
04:25 schestowitz-TR; However, I do find some rather interesting new nuggets in Gemini
04:25 schestowitz-TR; there are many neirdos there
04:25 schestowitz-TR; but also some technical people
04:25 schestowitz-TR; and the technical stuff is not jujsta bout gemini, gopher etc.
04:25 schestowitz-TR; some of it is about software or "Internet" freedom
04:25 schestowitz-TR; the sorts of things we do tgend to dabble in every now and then
04:25 schestowitz-TR; I've tried to take advantage of the extra time to reorganise here
04:26 schestowitz-TR; I have some enhancements in mind for the "planet"
04:26 schestowitz-TR; I also added some domains to the camelcase file which, together with the toc, make up
04:26 schestowitz-TR; very good and now more frequent Dasily Links
04:26 schestowitz-TR; no other site comes close to providing such a news service
04:26 schestowitz-TR; meanwhile, fossforce stopped publishing new things
04:26 schestowitz-TR; Christine has just published another Microsoft puff piece via LF in some third party site
04:26 schestowitz-TR; That's where the money is....
05:16 schestowitz-TR; today's gz files, for second day in a row, all OK
05:16 schestowitz-TR; I'll be afk in a moment

13:23 schestowitz-TR; I overslept

13:23 schestowitz-TR; sorry, and thanks, I'll test the file now
13:36 Techrights-sec; ack
13:36 schestowitz-TR; many of the remaining Errors follow, from thw absence of something
13:39 Techrights-sec; I don't get any errors here so aomething might be missing there
13:40 schestowitz-TR; I will try to mess with it....
13:47 schestowitz-TR; the "add" and "replace" commands are failing, same error, I'll dig into that
13:47 schestowitz-TR; maybe tc got upgraded
13:47 schestowitz-TR; I use version:
13:47 schestowitz-TR; tc -V
13:47 schestowitz-TR; iproiute2-5.9.0 libbpf 0.2.0
13:47 schestowitz-TR; kernel loaded 5.10.63-V71+
13:52 Techrights-sec; # tc -V
13:52 Techrights-sec; tc utility, iproute2-5.9.0, libbpf 0.3.0
13:52 Techrights-sec; # uname -sr
13:52 Techrights-sec; Linux 5.15.32-v8+
13:52 Techrights-sec; # lsb_release -rd
13:52 Techrights-sec; Description: Debian GNU/Linux 11 (bullseye)
13:52 Techrights-sec; Release: 11
13:52 Techrights-sec; (raspberry pi os)
13:53 schestowitz-TR; I wonder how you got a kernel so new and why my kernel became so broken after a reboot
13:53 schestowitz-TR; with error on reboot and then no wifi
13:53 schestowitz-TR; if there a package that gets me on a more suitable kernel?
13:55 schestowitz-TR; at the moment cost of the available system updates are CUPS packages
13:55 schestowitz-TR; and then there's the emergency (JS) firefox esr fix
13:56 Techrights-sec; not sure
13:56 Techrights-sec; # apt-cache policy raspberrypi-kernel | head -n 3
13:56 Techrights-sec; raspberrypi-kernel:
13:56 Techrights-sec; Installed: 1:1.20220331-1
13:56 Techrights-sec; Candidate: 1:1.20220331-1
14:02 schestowitz-TR; # apt-cache policy raspberrypi-kernel | head -n 3
14:02 schestowitz-TR; gives me the same output
14:02 schestowitz-TR; # uname -sr
14:02 schestowitz-TR; gives me 5.10.something
14:02 schestowitz-TR; I think all these issue might boil down to the kernel
14:02 schestowitz-TR; I didn't check how the raspi kernel selector worked
14:02 schestowitz-TR; for fear I'd boot into something that locks me out by virtue of not even boostrapping
14:08 schestowitz-TR; is it possible that when it boots is attempts to load the latest kernel, then fails, then loads some rather old one instead
14:08 schestowitz-TR; as a fallback?
14:08 schestowitz-TR; it's booting too fast for me to read everything
14:08 Techrights-sec; did you change /boot/config.txt
14:09 schestowitz-TR; i did not change it, I saw it and did not notice options of relevance there, but I will check again now
14:25 schestowitz-TR; I am reading a bunch of forum threads about people with kernel issues after updates
14:25 schestowitz-TR; and various things not working after that
14:25 schestowitz-TR; my hunch is that tc and wlan0 and a bunch of smaller things are
14:25 schestowitz-TR; impacted by the kernel changes
14:25 schestowitz-TR; I used dpkg to check versions of things
14:25 schestowitz-TR; and the CLI raspi config tool (ncurses)
14:25 schestowitz-TR; I don't want to risk breaking the system completely
14:25 schestowitz-TR; maybe I should just turn ipfs on and off until the next kernel update is available
14:25 schestowitz-TR; and then hope it'' fix things
14:25 schestowitz-TR; I don't want to install anything experimental
14:25 schestowitz-TR; as I said, the usb (which I plugged into the black port, so it was slow)
14:25 schestowitz-TR; still has wifi working and I assume tc as well
14:25 schestowitz-TR; but it's about a month out of data and after system update, which is neeed
14:25 schestowitz-TR; for security reasons, it would likely inherit those very same problems
14:51 *psydroid2 (~psydroid@memzbmehf99re.irc) has joined #boycottnovell
14:52 schestowitz-TR; Rwading on this further, namewly how to revert back tom previously-used kernel, what I find are mostly
14:52 schestowitz-TR; hacks and third-party shit that puts at risk the booting sequence and integrity of the system
14:52 schestowitz-TR; given the nature of this system (file system, server etc.) I don't wish to take this risk
14:52 schestowitz-TR; maybe treat the nwew script you make as "coming soon" and assume the system is temporarily
14:52 schestowitz-TR; incapacitated until next time kernel becomes available? In the mean time I will not back whole system, just
14:52 schestowitz-TR; /home, as it doesn't have the binaries anyway

15:46 schestowitz; [02:30] <schestowitz> I don't think highly of him ^_^
15:46 schestowitz; [02:30] <schestowitz> it helps understand some people
15:46 schestowitz; [02:30] <Source> But the theory about everything getting automated and then slowly getting killed off[02:30] <schestowitz> and what appeals to them
15:46 schestowitz; [02:30] <Source> So that the elite can become cyborgs and live forever off of the rest of earths resources and travel space
15:46 schestowitz; [02:30] <schestowitz> alex jones = start with a grain of truth
15:46 schestowitz; [02:30] <schestowitz> than provoke a little
15:46 schestowitz; [02:30] <Source> Which is also the plot to a 70s anime galaxy express 999[02:30] <schestowitz> than add fictional agenda stuff
15:46 schestowitz; [02:30] <schestowitz> and sell shit to cranks
15:46 schestowitz; [02:31] <Source> Yeah exactly grain of truth that turns into a shit storm
15:46 schestowitz; [02:31] <schestowitz> yeah
15:46 schestowitz; [02:31] <Source> Just like Chem trails lol they put sand in the cloud and make rain [02:32] <Source> I saw this back in like 2009 so don't judge me too much[02:32] <schestowitz> it helps discredit people by entrapping them
15:46 schestowitz; [02:32] <Source> It was free and I laughed the whole time
15:46 schestowitz; [02:32] <schestowitz> its a common disinformation tactic
15:46 schestowitz; [02:32] <schestowitz> we wrote a lot about this for ages
15:46 schestowitz; [02:33] <schestowitz> like all this "5g causes covid" and "changes your dna" BS
15:46 schestowitz; [02:33] <Source> Yeah that's what Alex did to me
15:46 schestowitz; [02:33] <schestowitz> distracts from legit criticisms
15:46 schestowitz; [02:33] <Source> With all the BS about she showed up to my parents house
15:46 schestowitz; [02:33] <schestowitz> l;like patents
15:46 schestowitz; [02:33] <Source> Because you stole my keys
15:46 schestowitz; [02:34] <schestowitz> the ALLEGEDLY $200,000,000 man...
15:46 schestowitz; [02:34] <schestowitz> enjoying his little cell
15:46 schestowitz; [02:34] <schestowitz> toxic person
15:46 schestowitz; [02:34] <Source> I guess[02:34] <schestowitz> "fun to be around with, but..."
15:46 schestowitz; [02:34] <Source> He's probably in population
15:46 schestowitz; [02:35] <Source> He honestly wasn't even that fun to be around[02:35] <Source> But I am super fun so it's hard to live up to that
15:46 schestowitz; [02:35] <Source> You know it's like the whole Taylor Swift thing[02:36] <Source> It makes men angry when women are funny

17:58 Techrights-sec; unless iptables is removed
17:59 schestowitz-TR; thanks! Much appreciated. I guess eome future distros/releases will have iptables deprecated entirely
17:59 schestowitz-TR; so it is good to be future-proof

18:25 Techrights-sec; that's not so much from howtoforge itself but more how the site is being gamed
18:25 Techrights-sec; it's very vulnerable to gaming like that
18:26 schestowitz-TR; The "Linux" section of Slashdot is part-time Windows marketing section that helps Microsoft attack and smear "Linux"
19:04 Techrights-sec; not part-time, most of the time; and most of the rest of the time it is a
19:04 Techrights-sec; FUD generator; I've only ever accidentally clicked on a /. link since aroudn
19:04 Techrights-sec; 2013 or 2014
19:04 Techrights-sec; I'm not even sure which company owns the site any more
19:05 schestowitz-TR; see draft re slashdot
19:07 schestowitz-TR; the current owners of the site, Logan, used to be in Techrights IRC saying things would improve
19:07 schestowitz-TR; and trying to convince us to change the wiki
19:07 schestowitz-TR; as time went on he broke his promise
19:07 schestowitz-TR; there's no money in promoting freedo
19:21 Techrights-sec; the is, it's just that the opponents are far more focused on tearing down
19:21 Techrights-sec; freedom and well organized against it. Those promoting freedom are not
19:22 schestowitz-TR; mnnot many people even grasp p the underlying concpts
19:22 schestowitz-TR; so there is explaining to be done
19:22 schestowitz-TR; so that there will be more of us
19:22 schestowitz-TR; not just demanding STEAM on "Linux"
19:25 schestowitz-TR; many people vagely relate to the concepts and the importance
19:25 schestowitz-TR; e.g. period-tracking "apps"
19:25 schestowitz-TR; so we can change thevocabulary uses
19:25 schestowitz-TR; EFF won't do it for us
19:25 schestowitz-TR; it will misframe the problem
19:25 schestowitz-TR; EFF target audience and donors are billionaires
19:25 schestowitz-TR; corporations
19:25 schestowitz-TR; and cofee sippers from "Gay/Bay Area"
19:25 schestowitz-TR; they don't want to turn off JS
19:25 schestowitz-TR; or stop dropping it by the megabytes into Web pages
19:25 schestowitz-TR; they also use Macs
19:25 schestowitz-TR; like the people who run the EFF
19:26 Techrights-sec; Sad demise for the EFF.
19:26 Techrights-sec; JS is just a vehicle for locking out FOSS and tying sites to use of specific
19:26 Techrights-sec; browsers once again.
19:28 schestowitz-TR; I still remember EFF wasting a month trash-talking pgp because of web pages disguised as "email"
19:28 schestowitz-TR; and then promoting shitty "apps" instead
19:28 schestowitz-TR; I totally lost respect for EFF at that point, a couuple of years before they decided that freedom
19:28 schestowitz-TR; fighters were in fact their enemies

19:37 schestowitz-TR; I can have a go at it myself
19:37 schestowitz-TR; if you do not
19:37 schestowitz-TR; maybe they have their own SamreenGas inside the EFF
19:37 schestowitz-TR; it's not like they have many techs left, it's a political wing and a badge/name for rental
19:37 schestowitz-TR; running one's email server is not easy when the techs leave, so sooner or later they will outsource
19:37 schestowitz-TR; and say "the clown", even if that directly contradicts the EFF's position on privacy
