00:43 schestowitz-TR2; i did not investigate why
00:43 schestowitz-TR2; it just didn't respond
00:43 schestowitz-TR2; anyway, later this year we'll have a more reliable base system

06:56 Techrights-sec; checked the question of HTML entities locally and they seem to work ok
06:56 Techrights-sec; the addition script, updated script, and extraction script all seeem to let them
06:56 Techrights-sec; be
06:56 Techrights-sec; However, a different bug surfaced.
07:03 starstreak; schestowitz-TR2, what are you using now?
07:03 schestowitz-TR2; alpinex2
07:10 starstreak; going from alpine to alpine
07:10 starstreak; lol

07:39 schestowitz-TR2; riannes exams are next week and the week after

09:43 schestowitz-TR2; the tm git gemini:// pages were not updating
09:43 schestowitz-TR2; I made some changes
09:43 schestowitz-TR2; but one impasse it
09:43 schestowitz-TR2; gemini account cannot run git on /var/www
09:43 schestowitz-TR2; without some special dir exception being added
09:43 schestowitz-TR2; and maybe it's restricted for a good reason
09:43 schestowitz-TR2; if you go to the repo as user/whoami gemini
09:43 schestowitz-TR2; then git anything
09:43 schestowitz-TR2; you will see what I mean
09:43 schestowitz-TR2; it really just needs read-only access
09:43 schestowitz-TR2; it then generates a list of files
09:44 schestowitz-TR2; they are later read and liste
09:44 schestowitz-TR2; then it gets a list of commits

11:11 schestowitz-TR2; what would thus be the best approach for
11:11 schestowitz-TR2; 1) the list of files to be exported to ~gmini/gemini
11:11 schestowitz-TR2; and
11:11 schestowitz-TR2; 2) the git commit history to go to that account too?
11:11 schestowitz-TR2; put another way, which account which cron list-git-files? you put it in gemini's crontab
11:14 *DaemonFC (~daemonfc@9qsqdkvbw5grk.irc) has joined #boycottnovell
11:19 Techrights-sec; oh that was a mistake, it should not be in gemini's crontab
11:19 Techrights-sec; perhaps git's instead?
11:19 Techrights-sec; checkingg
11:22 schestowitz-TR2; 2 other mistakes I corrected were the file for changes being wrong ownership after the changeover
11:22 schestowitz-TR2; and the location of git-files being one level too deep
11:22 schestowitz-TR2; gemini account needs only read access to a list of changes from git (as file in its own homedir) and same
11:22 schestowitz-TR2; for the git-files (/n-separated list)
11:22 schestowitz-TR2; atm tuxmachines at gemini is not advertised anywhere except maybe the irc channel
11:22 schestowitz-TR2; hence the work on a more holistic front page
11:23 Techrights-sec; tuxmachines' account seems to be the right place for that script
11:23 Techrights-sec; thanks
11:24 schestowitz-TR2; if you move that crontab line to tuxmachines, the path for the script stays the same, althogh there should be a copy someone for git
11:24 schestowitz-TR2; it'll get extended over time
11:24 schestowitz-TR2; and output files (2 of them) ought to be readable to gemini account

12:21 schestowitz-TR2; I see that the command was run and crontab was shortened for "gemini"
12:21 schestowitz-TR2; I tried to see whose crontab the other command was moved to
12:21 schestowitz-TR2; git's crontab is empty
12:21 schestowitz-TR2; and tuxmachines does the erss thing only
12:32 Techrights-sec; It is in tuxmachines
12:33 Techrights-sec; Or I thought it was in tuxmachines. I'll add it there now.
12:35 schestowitz-TR2; thanks, yes, I checked the crontabs of all users
12:35 schestowitz-TR2; I also wonder how we should back up this entire machine, inc. stuff outside /home (site, crontabs, scripts)
12:35 schestowitz-TR2; but then again this is RAIDed (I assume) and there's that other layer of redundany, I think it is structured like a SAN
12:35 schestowitz-TR2; The way I see it, we are rebuilding for the coming decade
12:35 schestowitz-TR2; and this VM is already a gemini server, like techrights is already an IPFS server
12:35 Techrights-sec; Yes, it is good to plan ahead a bit.
12:37 schestowitz-TR2; many others will be coming "from behind"
12:37 schestowitz-TR2; having to learn and configure things
12:37 schestowitz-TR2; as the web is already stagnant
12:37 schestowitz-TR2; plenty of data points to show this, not the subject of debate atm
12:37 schestowitz-TR2; we talked about irc in irc today (circular) and I recommended mxlinux and devuan-based peppermind
12:37 schestowitz-TR2; afaik, peppertmint is super-friendly, they just swapped out the base system
12:37 schestowitz-TR2; it's a bit like linux mint
12:45 schestowitz-TR2; aporopos
12:45 schestowitz-TR2; a) tim wilson (goblin/openbytes) was a huge proponent of peppermint, which I never tried myself
12:45 schestowitz-TR2; b) i think github and gitlab can kill git by associating it with bloated and centralised web uis
12:45 schestowitz-TR2; as browsers get less secure, more bloated, and the back end a paint o maintain
12:45 schestowitz-TR2; the biggest android alternative is now seeking approval from devs and user to move from gitLAB to
12:45 schestowitz-TR2; gitea, iirc
12:45 schestowitz-TR2; heroku or whatever has thrown the table this past week
12:45 schestowitz-TR2; you may have seen this in ruben's blog and another in your opml
12:45 schestowitz-TR2; they are pulling a gitlab.
12:45 schestowitz-TR2; no more 'free' accounts
12:45 schestowitz-TR2; and they even delete "inactive" ones
12:45 schestowitz-TR2; sourcehut.. same
12:45 schestowitz-TR2; they are good at gaining 'free' users
12:45 schestowitz-TR2; and then realise it's not so free to do sys admin for it
12:45 schestowitz-TR2; also see: 315,000 obsolete joindisapora accounta
12:45 schestowitz-TR2; and Microsoft losing money on github
12:45 schestowitz-TR2; trying to somehow turn that proffitable without driving everyone away
12:45 schestowitz-TR2; i heard from an inside source they tried to push vscode and azure via github
12:45 schestowitz-TR2; with 'freebies' (at msft's expense ) like cpu cycles (githug actions)
12:45 schestowitz-TR2; daniel stenberf that s***out has just bragged about moving more of curl to that proprietary outsource build process
12:45 schestowitz-TR2; github actions
12:45 schestowitz-TR2; and they hope to upsell
12:45 schestowitz-TR2; it didn't work outa
12:45 schestowitz-TR2; and they fired some people
12:45 schestowitz-TR2; and now they put some azure guy in charge
12:45 schestowitz-TR2; I failed (spent hours) to find any pie charts are gitlab and giuthub share
12:45 schestowitz-TR2; nothing can be found
12:45 schestowitz-TR2; but I reckon they not only lose money (gitlab does for sure!) but also relative share
12:45 schestowitz-TR2; like skype, linkedin, and mixer (shut down compltely)
12:45 Techrights-sec; Peppermint OS should be looked into more seriously and probably boosted,
12:45 Techrights-sec; it has a branch with a Devuan base.
12:45 Techrights-sec; Yes, GitHub especially gets conflated with Git and everyone now knows that
12:45 Techrights-sec; M$ GitHub sucks (like all M$ products and services) and has gotten a lot
12:45 Techrights-sec; worse recently (like all M$ products and services). Unfortunately fewer and
12:45 Techrights-sec; fewer know or make the distinction between GitHub and Git and M$ conrrolled
12:45 Techrights-sec; media work to make that confusion worse.

12:52 schestowitz-TR2; sony and nintendo (japan) sell actual products
12:52 schestowitz-TR2; and they also make them

13:16 Techrights-sec; m$ pisses off and/or stabs in the back everyone eventually
13:16 Techrights-sec; at least anyone that pays attention will notice either or both events
13:16 Techrights-sec; gaming has been one of the ways that M$ marginalized Apple in addition to
13:16 Techrights-sec; blocking desktop GNU/Linux. If it weren't for an addiction to top titles,
13:16 Techrights-sec; which are M$-only, many would have drifted away starting 20 years ago
13:16 Techrights-sec; increasing over time. The inability to play games has been used repeatedly
13:16 Techrights-sec; as an excuse /especially/ in the business community, which should be ironic
13:16 Techrights-sec; as hell.
13:37 schestowitz-TR2; thanks for making tm-extract-* more verbose, I've just gone through it line by line

13:43 schestowitz-TR2; btw, random thought:
13:43 schestowitz-TR2; when jimbo and microsoft sheela started dating GNU/Linux had already been very mainstream
13:43 schestowitz-TR2; so you cannot assume she has changed her mind since
13:43 schestowitz-TR2; she will reinforce bad policies in "pillow talk"
13:43 schestowitz-TR2; by all means I think this is relevant to Linux
13:43 schestowitz-TR2; having said that, given the state of LF, if Jimbo was ousted,
13:43 schestowitz-TR2; I doubt the successor would (or can) be better

14:27 schestowitz-TR2; hides her twitter account, husband deleted ALL his tweets last year

14:27 schestowitz-TR2; from intl hero to "release management" _on probation_
14:27 schestowitz-TR2; whose salary is lower than a did-nothing bakkt-of-s*m
14:27 Techrights-sec; yes its a religion of sort
14:27 Techrights-sec; IPO are mostly when the company's principals decide to bail and cash out
14:27 Techrights-sec; ack
14:30 Techrights-sec; Many companies have no purpose (and no result) other than an IPO spike like
14:30 Techrights-sec; Bakkt demonstrated. It's a handout for those that got in prior to the IPO and
14:30 Techrights-sec; were in a position where they were able to sell in hours. Those chumps in
14:30 Techrights-sec; the company that had stocks which they were forced to retain got taken to
14:30 Techrights-sec; the cleaners.
14:32 schestowitz-TR2; if you can research bakkt further (I did my bit, but there's lots more down that bucket), maybe there is more we can show
14:32 schestowitz-TR2; based on his date stories, she's the one controlling him
14:32 schestowitz-TR2; he had no control over her
14:32 Techrights-sec; No idea about such companies
14:32 Techrights-sec; It's not special in any way, not even in its catastrophic failure. That
14:32 Techrights-sec; is part of a common, established pattern.
14:34 schestowitz-TR2; maybe she will soon resurface elsewhere
14:34 schestowitz-TR2; given that revenue fell and losses (already start of the year) deepened
14:34 schestowitz-TR2; and she changes jobs a lot
14:34 schestowitz-TR2; they got sued btw, look that up
14:35 Techrights-sec; From a comment: "So this one also typical pump and dump down from 50 without bad news this is not a correction but 15-16 might me good opportunity to buy we shal

14:44 schestowitz-TR2; I did mention the imminent lawsuit before
14:44 schestowitz-TR2; but the links you found give more info
14:46 schestowitz[TR]; NEW: https://projects.propublica.org/nonprofits/organizations/460503801
14:46 -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-projects.propublica.org | The Linux Foundation - Nonprofit Explorer - ProPublica
14:46 schestowitz[TR]; 2020
14:46 schestowitz[TR]; not in IRS site
14:47 schestowitz[TR]; Linux Foundation revenue fall 20 million!
14:47 schestowitz[TR]; "The IRS has provided extracted financial data for this filing, but has not yet released the source documents.
14:47 schestowitz[TR]; "
14:47 Techrights-sec; $ 00.62 USD
14:47 Techrights-sec; https://www.marketwatch.com/investing/stock/bkkt.wt/company-profile
14:47 -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-BKKT.WT | Bakkt Holdings Inc. Wt Profile | MarketWatch
14:50 schestowitz-TR2; revenue (bakkt): 39 million
14:50 schestowitz-TR2; net income: -183 million
14:50 schestowitz-TR2; LOL!!
14:50 Techrights-sec; https://www.sec.gov/cgi-bin/browse-edgar?action=getcompany&CIK=0001820302&owner=include&count=40&hidefilings=0

14:52 schestowitz-TR2; OK, I can now tie together tow stories
14:52 schestowitz-TR2; about revenue of LF and bakkt
14:52 schestowitz-TR2; *two
14:55 Techrights-sec; ack
14:57 schestowitz-TR2; this is a gold mine
14:57 schestowitz-TR2; for more than one post
14:57 schestowitz-TR2; thanks for the links, I'll woprk my way through them all
14:58 Techrights-sec; np
14:58 Techrights-sec; at the end of the day there is unlikely to be anything special about bakkt,
14:58 Techrights-sec; it might be a garden variety pumpanddump undergrad business school project
15:02 schestowitz-TR2; on the upside, linus now gets $1ml bonus
15:02 schestowitz-TR2; hence more than zemlin
15:02 schestowitz-TR2; but I am drafting out the bads, too
15:02 schestowitz-TR2; \
15:02 schestowitz-TR2; if you open the propublica link (I'll try to get the original pdf and self--host it), maybe you too can find observable nuggets
15:02 schestowitz-TR2; I am doing so right now
15:03 schestowitz-TR2; bakkt will be a "side story"
15:03 schestowitz-TR2; throwing my notes as I go along
15:03 schestowitz-TR2; see draft
15:03 schestowitz-TR2; we don't have etherpad
15:07 Techrights-sec; checking
15:07 schestowitz-TR2; they do not have official pdf yet at irs
15:07 schestowitz-TR2; strange...
15:08 Techrights-sec; If showing salaries, please be sure to compare the salaries of the deadweight
15:08 Techrights-sec; to those that actually bring home the bacon.
15:10 Techrights-sec; Maybe some background about
15:10 Techrights-sec; the original purpose of OSDL / LF is in order. Also, what is its current
15:10 Techrights-sec; charter. Don't let anyone assume anything based on the name.
15:10 schestowitz-TR2; that would demand a lot more time for in-depath article
15:10 schestowitz-TR2; today I want to work on cleaning rss and finish frontpage.php/mobile/php
15:10 schestowitz-TR2; but I' thinking, put the info out there first, raw...
15:10 schestowitz-TR2; then, over time, refer back to it with commentary
15:10 schestowitz-TR2; like I do github copilot
15:16 Techrights-sec; https://projects.propublica.org/nonprofits/organizations/460503801
15:16 Techrights-sec; no info from 2021 yet
15:16 -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-projects.propublica.org | The Linux Foundation - Nonprofit Explorer - ProPublica
15:20 schestowitz-TR2; in year x you file report for year x-1
15:20 schestowitz-TR2; but irs is acting as though it was instructed to not publish
15:20 schestowitz-TR2; I don't know much about irs
15:20 schestowitz-TR2; I am just totally guessing
15:20 schestowitz-TR2; I will prioritise this over the tuxmachines work I was planning
15:20 schestowitz-TR2; working againn tonight at 1am
15:20 schestowitz-TR2; but I think this LF thing is 1) interesting 2) something nobody ese will cover
15:20 Techrights-sec; https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1820302/000120919122024821/xslF345X03/doc4.xml
15:20 -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell- ( status 403 @ https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1820302/000120919122024821/xslF345X03/doc4.xml )
15:20 schestowitz-TR2; revenue loss harms the idea that people should confide in this current strategy
15:20 schestowitz-TR2; they replace events with diploma mills these past 2 years
15:21 schestowitz-TR2; and bribe publishers to promote the scams
15:21 schestowitz-TR2; now they promote thse with World Bank (WB)
15:28 schestowitz-TR2; thanks, tidying up irc notes and links as if they were a draft makes writing vastly easier
15:28 schestowitz-TR2; but I think I'll start with LF
15:28 schestowitz-TR2; to set the tone and make it on-topic
15:28 schestowitz-TR2; there's stuff in the form I want to cover separately
15:28 schestowitz-TR2; as there won't be any more forms for many months to come
15:28 schestowitz-TR2; this also validated what I said about them turning to diploma mills
15:29 Techrights-sec; np
15:34 schestowitz-TR2; some time next week we might be ready to publish the epo series that will cause EPO to shit bricks again
15:34 schestowitz-TR2; at least this past month we showed the gnu/linux market gain a lot
15:34 schestowitz-TR2; while EPO was 'calm' (holiday)
15:34 schestowitz-TR2; no epo announcement in the site for a month already
15:34 schestowitz-TR2; upc complaint might be a month or two away
15:36 Techrights-sec; :)
15:36 Techrights-sec; There needs to be a complete turn over of top management there along with
15:36 Techrights-sec; many a bit further down.
15:36 Techrights-sec; The total lack of oversight and accountability is the underlying problem at the
15:36 Techrights-sec; EPO
15:37 schestowitz-TR2; Team Corp. has not onlyt discredited but also derailed Lunduke
15:37 schestowitz-TR2; FOSSForce refers to him as a crank
15:37 schestowitz-TR2; this past week all his output was more or less worthless, irrelevant (rss feed)
15:38 Techrights-sec; he has been heading that direction for a few years, but he occasionally
15:38 Techrights-sec; writes / says things which are spot on. However, those times are getting
15:38 Techrights-sec; fewer and further between, so it is no surprise that people are able to
15:38 Techrights-sec; discredit him that way.
15:39 schestowitz-TR2; 1) badmouth your critic
15:39 schestowitz-TR2; 2) critics gets angry, talks trash back
15:39 schestowitz-TR2; 3) use (2) to defame critics
15:39 schestowitz-TR2; 4) critic ignored
15:39 schestowitz-TR2; at least they didn't call him rapist/rape apologist
15:55 Techrights-sec; ack
15:55 Techrights-sec; or send him off for unnecessary medical treatments
15:55 schestowitz-TR2; fot self-humiliation.
15:57 Techrights-sec; ack
15:57 schestowitz-TR2; rms was referred to anger management
15:57 schestowitz-TR2; what kid of society send people "on the spectrum" to that??
16:01 Techrights-sec; those who would parade him for humiliation to take over (and destroy) the
16:01 Techrights-sec; movement he started and used to run
16:03 schestowitz-TR2; i've done activism long enough to know methods of copiung with trolling and stress/anger
16:03 schestowitz-TR2; rms also got better at it after that freakout in brazil
16:03 schestowitz-TR2; i remember g greve (original fsfe) getting very upset about people sharing videos of that online
16:03 schestowitz-TR2; greve did support rms
16:03 schestowitz-TR2; i've not heard anything of kolab for years
16:03 schestowitz-TR2; greve was paraded by fsfe months ago
16:03 schestowitz-TR2; and aaron seigo vanished completly after moving to switzerland for kolab
16:03 schestowitz-TR2; and groklaw's pj also vanished after saying she would use kolab
16:05 Techrights-sec; ack
16:05 Techrights-sec; pj vanished after some possible trouble against the site after one of the
16:05 Techrights-sec; mail companies or ISPs unrelated to groklaw got blasted by the US government
16:05 Techrights-sec; and required to turn over minutiae on patrons
16:05 Techrights-sec; that was in her departure statement
16:05 Techrights-sec; then she just kind of retired, even though the SCO case seems to be drag on and
16:05 Techrights-sec; on
16:06 schestowitz-TR2; I'll post daily lionks
16:06 schestowitz-TR2; then lf+sheela microsoft
16:07 schestowitz-TR2; then clean rss
16:07 schestowitz-TR2; then tm php is I have time left
16:07 schestowitz-TR2; yes, php is on the old system
16:07 schestowitz-TR2; it acts as a bridge, a one-way bridge using rss as a shim
16:07 schestowitz-TR2; atom rather
16:07 Techrights-sec; ack
16:07 Techrights-sec; It'd be great to avoid bringing PHP over into the new system. Some
16:07 Techrights-sec; functionality can be replaced by HTML5 and maybe some by SSI.
16:07 Techrights-sec; ack
16:09 schestowitz-TR2; propublica probably has the pdf but doesn't want to give the cow
16:09 schestowitz-TR2; it wants to sell the milk
16:09 schestowitz-TR2; xml file for which I have no schema
16:09 schestowitz-TR2; just some shitty github project of theirs (MSFT)
16:09 schestowitz-TR2; or weird html
16:09 schestowitz-TR2; sooner or later a PDF will become available, somewhere...
16:09 schestowitz-TR2; maybe I should email torvalds@lf and ask for a copy ;-)
16:09 schestowitz-TR2; @lf
16:09 schestowitz-TR2; they read him mai!!
16:09 schestowitz-TR2; they/them/microsofyt
16:12 Techrights-sec; ack
16:14 schestowitz-TR2; anon gmail account would not hold water
16:14 schestowitz-TR2; zemlin uses gmail
16:14 schestowitz-TR2; or used
16:14 schestowitz-TR2; and if he advertised such an account, there would be suspicion
16:14 schestowitz-TR2; so he cannot plan an exit
16:14 schestowitz-TR2; or coordinate a mass exodus from lf
16:14 schestowitz-TR2; no communication independence
16:14 schestowitz-TR2; hence, they got him by the b0lls
16:14 schestowitz-TR2; with osdl they planned a 'coup', a way to leave cohen all on his own shining ballmer's shoes
16:15 Techrights-sec; doesn't LF have their own mail service?
16:15 schestowitz-TR2; and run away to the man who glorified "the bill"
16:16 schestowitz-TR2; I think they used Outlook or Zimbra at one point
16:16 schestowitz-TR2; they probably outsource the domain to some clown something
16:16 schestowitz-TR2; like their did their own web site
16:16 schestowitz-TR2; as noted in irc yestewrday
16:16 schestowitz-TR2; they are the splc of tech
16:20 schestowitz-TR2; Debian defects to Microsoft https://news.itsfoss.com/debian-duckduckgo-default-chromium/ disgusting. http://techrights.org/wiki/DuckDuckGo

16:44 schestowitz-TR2; tro tell me about google ads in techrights (BN) in 2006... I reckon he's linked to Microsoft
17:15 Techrights-sec; ack
17:15 Techrights-sec; probably
17:26 schestowitz-TR2; I can caution you I might write about lf in a bit of a rush to to desire to meet self-0imposed deadline re site migration
17:26 schestowitz-TR2; I'll just check for typos carefully enough to close that leeway
17:26 schestowitz-TR2; will revisit in the future after that
17:26 schestowitz-TR2; typo checking isn't hard if I do exercise while reading
17:26 schestowitz-TR2; writing it carefully and making a proper outline is very time-consuming
17:26 schestowitz-TR2; and TR is not a thesis
17:34 schestowitz-TR2; I'm not the best writer, but I can compensate for it by writing fast and producing a lot, I think
17:34 schestowitz-TR2; eta 20 mins
18:06 Techrights-sec; there seems to be no text there in the draft
18:06 Techrights-sec; ack
18:06 schestowitz-TR2; i took the text back to kate
18:22 schestowitz-TR2; going to take a break now
18:22 schestowitz-TR2; it needs proper work
18:22 schestowitz-TR2; but I will also leave some things aside eof future "parts"
18:22 schestowitz-TR2; nap time
18:22 schestowitz-TR2; and maybe we can get the full PDF "proper"
