02:21 schestowitz-TR; gm
02:26 Techrights-sec2; ok the script now seems to work with PNG, GIF, and JPEG. There were
02:26 Techrights-sec2; not only dependencies but (to me) stealthy build dependencies. The latter
02:26 Techrights-sec2; have been removed again.
02:26 Techrights-sec2; though the incron part is still needing work
02:26 Techrights-sec2; gm
02:26 Techrights-sec2; I'm not sure how they can be goaded into getting back on track without pissing
02:26 Techrights-sec2; them off. It's not really clear how they can rationalize the direction they've

02:28 schestowitz-TR; Im doing a draft now about why we move off bloated web
02:28 schestowitz-TR; I feel as if, on net/web issue, we do have a bit of away
02:28 schestowitz-TR; not just freesw and swpats
02:28 schestowitz-TR; while eff does none of the work it used to do in that area
02:28 schestowitz-TR; an hour ago I went to doctorow's blog
02:28 schestowitz-TR; it's... how should I put it politely?
02:28 schestowitz-TR; does not appeal to me
02:28 schestowitz-TR; he also has not ritten much lately in eff.org
02:28 schestowitz-TR; maybe they use him like a mascot

02:28 Techrights-sec2;
02:28 Techrights-sec2; could be

02:39 schestowitz-TR; wow, many typos, i found about 12
02:39 schestowitz-TR; ok, I corrected and abbr'ed as per your spotting, too
02:39 schestowitz-TR; we need to convince people that putting ALL eggs in the WWW basket isn't the best approach

09:40 Techrights-sec2; yes thats a way to put a single key into the agent, another is to set up

09:55 schestowitz-TR; but studied almost the 30 servers that exist
09:55 schestowitz-TR; unless the distros have them (afaik, vger is in openbsd)
09:55 schestowitz-TR; you must compile and even their their quality is an unknown)

09:55 Techrights-sec2;
09:55 Techrights-sec2; vger requires a bit of special knowledge about certificates
09:59 Techrights-sec2; the quality of vger is probably reasonable but it's not as simple to run
09:59 Techrights-sec2; as agate
10:00 schestowitz-TR; to compile agate you enter a world of rust, and having tried to compile their stuff before, I don't want to try again because it's a lot
10:00 schestowitz-TR; of messing about with massive packages. hundreds of megabytes
10:01 Techrights-sec2; too much of a mess to do on what may become a production machine
10:01 Techrights-sec2; can you remove the unneede packages ?
10:03 schestowitz-TR; no, no... not this machine
10:03 schestowitz-TR; that was over a year ago on some disposable arm machine

10:06 schestowitz-TR; <techrights-news> "Election deniers" is a new term for people who don't like PROPRIETARY voting machines with Windows back doors, according to Microsoft- and Bill-Gates funded NPR https://text.npr.org/1113707783 | Source: NPR
10:06 -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-text.npr.org | Election deniers are running to control voting. Here's how they've fared so far
10:07 schestowitz-TR; we need to be careful of how idiots can exdploited to make these straw man arguments
10:07 Techrights-sec2; the "election deniers" has been a very successful strawman attack
10:07 Techrights-sec2; yep
10:07 Techrights-sec2; and its a smear through association
10:12 Techrights-sec2; it certainly deflects against the long overdue discussion about M$ and Windows
10:14 schestowitz-TR; also diebold and .... I forgot the name of the new company...
10:14 schestowitz-TR; dominion?
10:14 schestowitz-TR; they are file frivolous lawsuits to scare anyone who dares question their "products"
10:20 Techrights-sec2; David Stutz tried to initiate that conversation long ago, TR has links
10:20 Techrights-sec2; to his work
10:20 Techrights-sec2; diebold and the other change names and ownership to hide
10:20 Techrights-sec2; they want people to think of them as definitive of computing rather than
10:20 Techrights-sec2; fourth rate wannabees; the politicians help them promote that in exchange
10:20 Techrights-sec2; for bugdoors and backdoors
10:20 Techrights-sec2; and campaign donations
10:20 Techrights-sec2; There was also the government official (whose name escapes me) who warned of
10:20 Techrights-sec2; the threat to national security caused by both M$ shoddy products and the
10:20 Techrights-sec2; monoculture built up around them.
10:21 schestowitz-TR; straussman?
10:23 Techrights-sec2; Yes, that's him. Between the two, they bring up very important points but they
10:23 Techrights-sec2; did it at the end of the era before the effects of M$ (and Bill) having entered
10:23 Techrights-sec2; polticis were felt. Bill stepped down from M$ when it became clear that the
10:23 Techrights-sec2; company ran at a loss. After that, it seems they have lived on due to a
10:23 Techrights-sec2; combination of government bailouts and Enron-style accounting
10:28 schestowitz-TR; reminds me to hurry up with rss feeds today and publish Part 4
10:28 schestowitz-TR; anyway, from experience, muich of what you are told is false of half-truth
10:28 schestowitz-TR; esp. when messaging is a near-monopolyt
10:28 schestowitz-TR; re profits, security etc. ... even hits.. se clickfraud spamnil, twitter, FB...
10:28 schestowitz-TR; they try to hide the fact of their demise and resort to desperate measured

10:31 Techrights-sec2; M$ has been rewriting history, we are at the point that the world is being told
10:31 Techrights-sec2; half-truths about ICT and the history of the Internet. Soon it will be 25%
10:31 Techrights-sec2; and a while after that 12.5% and so on. I'm not sure what the half-life is
10:31 Techrights-sec2; but it works on a scale of a decade or so. Kids are fed complete fiction about
10:31 Techrights-sec2; ICT these days, and especially about M$ and Bill. Recall the Dilbert strips
10:31 Techrights-sec2; linked to recently and how public perception has been warped.
10:31 schestowitz-TR; i think it's c cross-disciplinary issue
10:31 schestowitz-TR; and not a new issue either
10:31 schestowitz-TR; in politics, in particcular..
10:31 schestowitz-TR; microsoft is politics
10:31 schestowitz-TR; a failing law student
10:31 schestowitz-TR; who broke the law
10:31 schestowitz-TR; and "had a nose for money"
10:31 schestowitz-TR; (quote)
10:32 Techrights-sec2; Yep M$ has been politics for about 20 years
10:32 Techrights-sec2; if one does not accept that it has subsequently moved from politics to being
10:32 Techrights-sec2; more of a cult based on politics and power.
10:35 schestowitz-TR; some people are better to countering it
10:35 schestowitz-TR; I worry abotu the approach taken by Daniel P in recent 1-2 years
10:35 schestowitz-TR; but then again the tone and style waere never perfecy, depending on what domaini
10:35 schestowitz-TR; it was posted in
10:35 schestowitz-TR; debian.community was always the worst
10:35 schestowitz-TR; now he links to a domain that does not work, suicide.dev
10:35 schestowitz-TR; suicide.fyi works, but the articles are not there
10:35 schestowitz-TR; so he makes technical errors
10:35 schestowitz-TR; the nasty comments in law paint him as "qanon" and mentally ill
10:35 schestowitz-TR; it has gotten so bad that they paint a leftist who fought for aboroginal people
10:35 schestowitz-TR; by technical means as some sort of republican nut
10:35 schestowitz-TR; like spamnil trying to repeatedly call me trump
10:35 schestowitz-TR; like that made any sense at all...
10:37 Techrights-sec2; yes he has been the target of brigading, and still is
10:37 Techrights-sec2; since he is (mostly) on the right track they will do anything they can
10:37 Techrights-sec2; to lie about him and attack him personally in order to distract from the topics
10:37 Techrights-sec2; he brings up and the events he exposes.
10:39 schestowitz-TR; <techrights-news> "election denialism"?

10:39 -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-truthout.org | Right-Wing Groups Are Turning Election Denialism Into an Organized Force
10:40 Techrights-sec2; if lying is the only tool they have, or the most effective one, that's the one
10:40 Techrights-sec2; they'll use since this, for them, is an acceptable means to their end
10:42 schestowitz-TR; a pattern I noticed is, they intentionally libel the person
10:42 schestowitz-TR; but since the person is outspoken and opinionated, then they claim to be the victims
10:42 schestowitz-TR; of defamation themselves
10:42 schestowitz-TR; to leverage a sense of partiry
10:42 schestowitz-TR; so nobody is suing, but bridges have greater capacity to spread lies... far
10:42 schestowitz-TR; more online accounts
10:42 schestowitz-TR; and isolation tactics are used... tying to weed out "sympathisers" by threats
10:42 schestowitz-TR; or further bridading
10:42 schestowitz-TR; see rms and oliva for example
10:43 schestowitz-TR; sometimes lies and jokes are used as means of "revenge" against prior lies against onself
10:43 schestowitz-TR; but detached from any context, people cannot see this
10:43 schestowitz-TR; in social control media, this is further megnified
10:43 schestowitz-TR; people who provoke cops and onyl; start filming when the cop/s react
10:45 Techrights-sec2; social control media decreases the public's already short attention span, now
10:45 Techrights-sec2; even soundbites are too long to follow
10:45 schestowitz-TR; [10:12] <techrights-news> On the Web, owing to INTENTIONALLY addictive sites and behaviour, if you begin to suspect your "consumption" of info is not "rational", it probably is not. Time to reassess and change.
10:51 schestowitz-TR; let's leave gemini aside for now
10:51 schestowitz-TR; it has a 1-year cert and placeholder for now, that's better than before at least
10:51 schestowitz-TR; we don't even produce any gmi files, but since I had git woes I thought I'd have a stab of pulling

11:10 schestowitz-TR; microsoft all CRIME? ;-)
11:10 Techrights-sec2; yep those are the false narratives being pushed
11:13 schestowitz-TR; we need to teach people how to properly rebut that
11:13 schestowitz-TR; until the media stops it
11:13 schestowitz-TR; out of shame at least...
11:14 schestowitz-TR; and until the relative share of these "Microsoft" (NSA-funded) companies decreases enough
11:14 schestowitz-TR; they never start from below
11:14 schestowitz-TR; even MS Office was bought from the top
11:14 schestowitz-TR; codeplex failed, soapbox failed...
11:14 Techrights-sec2; yes, it is facilitated by having a proper reference database so one can
11:14 Techrights-sec2; pull up URLs and annotations quickly and easily any time they dust off olld
11:14 Techrights-sec2; debunked material; being able to do that quickly and easily leave more thought
11:14 Techrights-sec2; for then going to the counter attac and addressing what they are distracting
11:14 Techrights-sec2; from
11:14 Techrights-sec2; with M$ there is almost always an element of distraction
11:16 schestowitz-TR; maybe I'll do a video re netcraft today
11:16 schestowitz-TR; and mrntion uefi in passing
11:16 schestowitz-TR; i still have some ntoes
11:23 schestowitz-TR; OK, gonna do daily links now, let's see if the header is updated after the push
11:23 schestowitz-TR; I assume there's an extra step to pull into the htdocs dir

11:35 schestowitz-TR; <techrights-news> Jack Wallen promoting Microsoft TypeScript. Did his bosses compromise him too?
11:35 Techrights-sec2; yes the pull has to happen manually though now with the update script in the
11:35 Techrights-sec2; /home/git/tuxmacines.org/ hierarchy that might be automatable, assuming there
11:35 Techrights-sec2; are no changes made in the ServerRoot
11:36 schestowitz-TR; I'm aboi21ut to post howtos and wanted to see if I got the hypertext right
11:49 Techrights-sec2; checking
11:49 Techrights-sec2; URL?
11:50 schestowitz-TR; any of the latest 4 additions
11:50 schestowitz-TR; I am not sure if the top part is included upon request rather than "off-line"
11:51 Techrights-sec2; which top part?
11:51 schestowitz-TR; the one that includes alpha notice
12:09 Techrights-sec2; yes, live or production
12:09 Techrights-sec2; checking
12:14 Techrights-sec2; it's possible to roll back the commit locally then
12:14 Techrights-sec2; but I have not corrected it yet
12:15 schestowitz-TR; was the typo you spooted "livre"? I should ghave typed "live"
12:15 schestowitz-TR; I don't want to push the typo correction
12:15 schestowitz-TR; in case you did correct it already, as you said you had spoted it
12:17 schestowitz-TR; I've pushed typo fix
12:17 schestowitz-TR; like I said, I just don't know yet how to pull from prod and don't want to try for fear of breaking something
12:17 schestowitz-TR; know how flaky git can be
12:17 schestowitz-TR; esp. on the server size (several users, one box)
12:17 Techrights-sec2; ok
12:17 Techrights-sec2; checking
12:17 Techrights-sec2; yes git seems a bit flakey
12:21 schestowitz-TR; thanks, I can see you've propagated the changes
12:21 schestowitz-TR; I'll keep my promise to myself to mention UEFI every day
12:21 schestowitz-TR; don't let the subject "age"
12:21 schestowitz-TR; then Part 4 of the Microsoft series
12:21 schestowitz-TR; Marius and I are having a good time joking at Fagioli's expense
12:21 schestowitz-TR; he wants us to blacklist him again
12:21 schestowitz-TR; he rips off his work
12:25 Techrights-sec2; ack
12:25 Techrights-sec2; looking at how to automate the updates
12:36 schestowitz-TR; a) will do two long microsoft posts now
12:36 schestowitz-TR; b) do you think it's too early to make a nice, lean tuxmachines.org front page akin to techrights.org front page
12:36 schestowitz-TR; that gives people an option to turn to the alpha?
12:36 schestowitz-TR; if they subscribe to the "wrong" site, we can later correct that with redirects
12:36 Techrights-sec2; too early IMO
12:36 schestowitz-TR; right
12:36 Techrights-sec2; too early IMO, still a lot of bugs to work out
12:38 schestowitz-TR; back in a bit, will focus on typing
12:38 schestowitz-TR; (marius btw is even less tolerant than me of microsoft apologists, he judt doesn't do articles about that)

14:54 britney; I got it working and made a gemini site on my laptop
14:55 britney; then i was trying to find a gemini host and no dice
15:04 Techrights-sec2; ack

15:05 Techrights-sec2; ack
15:06 britney; I got it to work locally by adding my hostname to the hosts file and used that to connect
15:06 britney; everything works now
15:07 britney; i want to put my gemini site online though and i don't have a server
15:07 britney; so i want to find a gemini hosting provider that is free

18:50 schestowitz-TR; it won't be a major step, just a routine thing, then copy across the new nodes as static

18:59 Techrights-sec2; static is a much lower load on the system
19:08 schestowitz-TR; off-topic rant/mind-drift
19:08 schestowitz-TR; last night I checked lxer it it seemed like a fossil
19:08 schestowitz-TR; original articles there were like once a year or less
19:08 schestowitz-TR; crew is like one person and many pages are a decade out of data
19:08 schestowitz-TR; no comment in over a month
19:08 schestowitz-TR; and they had editorial perils (that's what the comments were about)
19:08 schestowitz-TR; LinuxToday killed all past comments
19:08 schestowitz-TR; and it highly bloated, slow
19:08 schestowitz-TR; because the CMS came "from above"
19:08 schestowitz-TR; one sisze fits all from the parent company

19:18 Techrights-sec2; :/
19:19 schestowitz-TR; I view him with suspicion
19:19 schestowitz-TR; there's a phenomenon where you do some pandering to attract the target crowd

19:19 schestowitz-TR; apropos, alan shimel from 'security' buolevard is n promtoped a lot by LF these days
19:19 schestowitz-TR; that tells you a lot

19:20 schestowitz-TR; he asks for money, he has long done this as a JOB
19:21 Techrights-sec2; either way he was starting to come clean on the M$ stuff
