7 AM, November 29

07:44 schestowitz-TR; the upc is always next year

07:44 schestowitz-TR; windows is always 99% of the market

07:44 schestowitz-TR; democrats will lose midterms by a landslide

07:44 schestowitz-TR; that's what they want us to think

07:44 schestowitz-TR; and they pay to make the lies "normal"

07:57 Techrightssec; Through repetition they at least inure the population to the lies.


8 AM, November 29

08:15 schestowitz-TR; I am SO frsutrated with skyjake's "Cosmos"

08:15 schestowitz-TR; months ago I found a workarund

08:15 schestowitz-TR; as he was blocking some requests to Cosmos

08:15 schestowitz-TR; based on some sort of agent sniffer, I think

08:15 schestowitz-TR; hard to tell, not sure what back end he uses

08:15 schestowitz-TR; after hours of struggles I found a way to run it with sh, not bash

08:15 schestowitz-TR; and still had to run it manually, periodically

08:15 schestowitz-TR; to extract links from Cosmos

08:15 schestowitz-TR; as of days ago, this method no longer works

08:15 schestowitz-TR; I cannot get around this, either

08:15 schestowitz-TR; another hour wasted

08:15 schestowitz-TR; I'll give up and manually check the page

08:15 schestowitz-TR; still very annoying

08:15 schestowitz-TR; I'll check if amfora can run as a command-line thing to process a page, dump it, exit


9 AM, November 29

09:56 schestowitz-TR; i worked in 3 better solutions at the end

09:56 schestowitz-TR; some I will push to git after a bit of etsting

09:56 schestowitz-TR; amfora will be more instrumental

09:56 schestowitz-TR; with four (4( sessions running on cavan

09:56 schestowitz-TR; rianne's pi uses emacs for gemini, to get weather etc.

11 AM, November 29

11:13 schestowitz-TR; i was gonna mention wsl

11:13 schestowitz-TR; I'd rather not even respond to the googlebombing

11:13 schestowitz-TR; just more mentions

11:29 Techrightssec; Probably the way to address it would be to promote the advantages of

11:29 Techrightssec; native intallations aka "bare metal" over a slow and crashy proprietary VM

11:30 schestowitz-TR; we sort of covered this in advance

11:30 schestowitz-TR; after only 3 sites had relayed this microsoft spam

11:30 schestowitz-TR; fake 'news'

11:36 Techrightssec; ack


noon, November 29

12:06 schestowitz-TR; Overpopulation https://telex.hu/english/2022/11/28/12-per-cent-fewer-children-born-in-october-than-last-year | Source: Telex (Hungary)

12:06 -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-telex.hu | Telex: Hungarian population is on the decrease: 12 per cent fewer children born in October than last year

12:13 schestowitz-TR; I've configured gemini to show me new things int eh geminispace a lot more quicly and moreover

12:13 schestowitz-TR; to have it displayed in amfora when they arrive

12:13 schestowitz-TR; as a side dish, I've added an auto-updating (every 2 hours) weather forecast for the day, in addition

12:13 schestowitz-TR; to the one I have using curl

12:13 schestowitz-TR; they use different upstream providers for forecasts, so i can compare

12:13 schestowitz-TR; gemini: swiss army knife

16:14 schestowitz-TR; just asked him again

16:43 schestowitz-TR; just learned about how to add and remove extra "channels" in mumble

16:43 schestowitz-TR; along the way I think I found out what was hammering on i/o

16:43 schestowitz-TR; likely not quiterss but rather murmurd and esp. pulseaudio and mumble

16:43 schestowitz-TR; lots and lots of apu, even when everyone ie deaf+mute mode


5 PM, November 29

17:01 Techrightssec; Some ofthe channels can have an "access token" too to limit membership

17:01 Techrightssec; if that is needed in some cases

17:01 Techrightssec; iotop might provide some insight as to what's hogging the system's resources

17:01 schestowitz-TR; 13,236 Deaths in One Week in the UK (Far Higher Than Pre-COVID-19) https://schestowitz.com/Weblog/archives/2022/11/29/excess-deaths-uk/

17:07 schestowitz-TR; this system is so bizarre

17:07 schestowitz-TR; I can no longer run SMART even though it is installed

17:07 schestowitz-TR; I installed iotop but cannot run it

17:07 schestowitz-TR; installed htop just now

17:07 schestowitz-TR; that one runs ok

17:16 Techrightssec; what about 'iotop

17:16 Techrightssec; 'iotop' proper?

17:16 Techrightssec; maybe 'nethogs' too

17:16 schestowitz-TR; thanks, I think I better understand the cause of the issue

17:16 schestowitz-TR; took a few weeks ^_^

7 PM, November 29

19:11 schestowitz-TR; I'm finalising more Daily Links

19:11 schestowitz-TR; I do them better when there's not much else to do, like no major topic to cover

19:11 schestowitz-TR; would rather write nothing that cruft

19:11 schestowitz-TR; *than

19:12 Techrightssec; There are a lot of potentially good topics in each batch

19:13 schestowitz-TR; yes, but

19:13 schestowitz-TR; a) not all I know well

19:13 schestowitz-TR; b) not all relate to TR/audiemce

19:13 schestowitz-TR; or a+b

19:13 schestowitz-TR; i wish I knew what happened to niter.it aka nitter.eu

19:13 schestowitz-TR; i think there's an interesting story somewhere there..

19:14 Techrightssec; """

19:14 Techrightssec; 451 Unavailable For Legal Reasons

19:14 Techrightssec; Nitter is currently unavailable due to illegal content

19:14 Techrightssec; """

19:16 schestowitz-TR; lots of room for speculation because of the way twitter and nitter operate

19:16 schestowitz-TR; legal dept.

19:16 schestowitz-TR; dependencies

19:16 schestowitz-TR; proxying

19:16 schestowitz-TR; slapp

19:16 schestowitz-TR; eu law vs us law

19:16 schestowitz-TR; or maybe twitter itself has taken note due to lots of traffic in nitter

19:16 schestowitz-TR; and musk wants that turned off

19:16 schestowitz-TR; like gulag might do to inviidous if it grows some more

19:16 schestowitz-TR; iirc, it already threatened the MAIN/original instance

19:18 Techrightssec; same for nitter.eu

19:18 Techrightssec; probably slapp

19:18 Techrightssec; up front, twitter was an unvaiable business model, but may have had decent

19:18 Techrightssec; income from lesser known or hidden activities

19:18 schestowitz-TR; going to recharge now with short sleep

19:18 schestowitz-TR; that tends to help

19:18 schestowitz-TR; I've slept once per day latelybiab

19:19 schestowitz-TR; biab

19:19 Techrightssec; excellent, excercise is good too

19:34 mjg59_; Did nitter do any content moderation, or would it republish literally everything on twitter?
