09:19 Techrights-sec; it's more likely that the script here does not fail properly if the files
09:19 Techrights-sec; are not yet available when the script is run too soion
09:19 Techrights-sec; ^soon
09:20 schestowitz-TR; at around 3am my time the files become ready, or maybe by 4am for sure
09:20 schestowitz-TR; i can change the schedules, there is a chain of events, starting 2:30am
09:21 Techrights-sec; That is probably it then.

09:25 schestowitz-TR; btw, kiwi irc ha been having issues since sunday
09:25 schestowitz-TR; it seems to be not limited to any site or domain in particular
09:25 schestowitz-TR; we could add a self-hosted web proxy for irc
09:25 schestowitz-TR; there are several options if you fancy a little "sys OP" [sic] challenge
09:25 schestowitz-TR; thew quakenet one is less JS-intensive\
09:25 schestowitz-TR; one longstanding issue with kiwi is not the js per se
09:25 schestowitz-TR; but clownflare being in front of the site
09:25 schestowitz-TR; which means TR reveals visitors to clownflare
09:28 Techrights-sec; The MitM by Cloudflare should be mentioned specifically on that page then.
09:30 schestowitz-TR; you would be shocked if you saw how much of uk publiuc sector was outsourced to thisa mitm

10:08 schestowitz-TR; and linus is adopting pile of shit recomended by microsoft azure cto
10:08 schestowitz-TR; because "security".... f*ing sjvn plays into it too
10:08 schestowitz-TR; citing microsoft as authority on security
10:08 schestowitz-TR; to me: warning signs are "fair"
10:08 schestowitz-TR; the word is used a lot by microsoft lobbyists
