Sun 13:23:40 │ 〖kalel〗 │ Looking at historical debian dpl elections, it was *never* a popular position to run for, it predates any known controversy, as far as I know. Unpaid position, lots of eyes on you.
Sun 13:23:52 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] look at late 90s

Sun 13:28:06 │ 〖kalel〗 │ I'm going by information on https://www.debian.org/vote/ where it shows there have been numerous cases where only a single candidate ran, and almost all cases are very few candidates to choose from.

Sun 13:29:14 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] that's choice
Sun 13:29:18 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] like 4 political partiesa
Sun 13:29:33 │ 〖kalel〗 │ I suppose you're right.
Sun 13:29:45 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] many would nnot run
Sun 13:29:50 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] because they knew they would not win
Sun 13:29:53 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] only look small
Sun 13:29:55 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] and humiliated

Sun 13:32:30 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] not bully
Sun 13:32:49 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] as I said
Sun 13:32:54 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] debian attracted some sick people
Sun 13:32:59 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] literally sick in the head
Sun 13:33:05 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] sociopaths too

Sun 13:35:25 │ 〖kalel〗 │ I'm not happy to hear all of that, because I actually use debian.
Sun 13:35:35 │ 〖kalel〗 │ It works for my usecases.
Sun 13:35:37 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] my wife and i too
Sun 13:35:42 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] debian needs to kick out the sick people
Sun 13:35:46 │ 〖kalel〗 │ And I don't know what I'd replace debian with if debian disappeared.
Sun 13:35:47 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] not thje victims of the sick people
Sun 13:36:33 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] debian in the 90s attracted scholars
Sun 13:36:39 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] computer sicnetists
Sun 13:36:42 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] like ian
Sun 13:36:50 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] more so after rms sort of endorsed it
Sun 13:37:02 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] a decades later it was taken over by gafam and similar interests
Sun 13:37:11 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] who sshoehorned non-scientists
Sun 13:37:16 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] and spoiled the broth
Sun 13:37:34 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] then you had "mosquito people" pretending to be gurus
Sun 13:37:39 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] in computer stuff
Sun 13:37:42 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] and making decisions
Sun 13:37:46 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] promotion back doors
Sun 13:37:49 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] not good at all
Sun 13:37:53 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] it is not a debian issue
Sun 13:37:57 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] some other distros have the same
Sun 13:38:01 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] more so when they becomne mainstream
Sun 13:38:10 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] and gafam/spy agencies have an interest in that
Sun 13:38:22 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] not that bazzte of chay become big they will be similarly targeted
Sun 13:38:26 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] *bazzite
Sun 13:38:32 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] i understand it'ss run bya amicvrosoft person
Sun 13:38:35 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] which is... worrying
Sun 13:38:39 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] same as some other distros
Sun 13:38:43 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] one of them left microsoft since
Sun 13:38:49 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] so debenfit of the doubt applies
Sun 13:39:37 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] we used alpine on the server years ago
Sun 13:39:40 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] prior to that centos
Sun 13:39:51 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] similar issues, comunity-wise
Sun 13:39:59 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] *mmunity
Sun 13:40:46 │ 〖kalel〗 │ all projects start as technical projects but eventually end up being led by people more interested in politics and community

Sun 13:41:15 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] not all projects
Sun 13:41:22 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] but MinceR et al can attest to that
Sun 13:41:26 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] efforts to politicise
Sun 13:41:30 │ 〖kalel〗 │ All projects that reach a certain age.
Sun 13:41:38 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] by emotional bl;ackmail, thrats etc.
Sun 13:41:49 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] projects can resist
Sun 13:41:52 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] it costs a lot
Sun 13:41:56 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] and not just in money
Sun 13:41:58 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] also energy
Sun 13:41:58 │ 〖kalel〗 │ The people who enjoy politics and community stuff end up being good at that, better than the technical people, so they eventually take over.
Sun 13:42:04 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] linux fell 2 decades ago
Sun 13:42:10 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] it''s not a joke kernel
Sun 13:42:12 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] with inertia
Sun 13:42:29 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] yes, that is called social engineeringh
Sun 13:42:31 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] they get ahhead
Sun 13:42:34 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] by cheating and misleading
Sun 13:42:34 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] but
Sun 13:42:42 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] if the prroject is run by dorks without social skills
Sun 13:42:48 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] then it's easier to do the takeover
Sun 13:42:56 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] because they make big mistakes
Sun 13:43:01 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] ccconcessions they call them..
Sun 13:43:12 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] recent example: nix/nixos
Sun 13:43:57 │ 〖kalel〗 │ I don't follow nix/nixos, because I need more flexibility than they permit (by design).
Sun 13:44:30 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] not the point
Sun 13:44:34 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] the pattern
Sun 13:44:39 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] the themes
Sun 13:44:45 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] not the substance of the project
Sun 13:44:48 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] they had influence
Sun 13:44:49 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] and impact
Sun 13:44:57 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] so tthey "had" to be taken over
Sun 13:45:01 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] by social engineeringh
Sun 13:47:03 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] we write long series about this
Sun 13:47:08 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] it's very crucial
Sun 13:47:12 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] as it explains to people the patterns
Sun 13:47:17 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] and what to watch out for
Sun 13:47:24 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] so they can deefend and comprehend
Sun 13:47:32 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] we see similar modus operandi
Sun 13:47:37 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] andd almost nobody explains it

Sun 13:55:17 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] kalel: while i fully respect everyone's privacy and appreciate what you say, it can help if we know more background
Sun 13:55:28 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] e.g. your concerns about debian, aside from being its user
Sun 13:55:57 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] the tille thing i no smokign gun
Sun 13:56:01 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] *iis
Sun 13:56:12 │ 〖kalel〗 │ My main concern is about the project being taken over by someone who will bring it such bad publicity that sponsors will distance themselves from debian and debian will no longer be able to sustain its operations and will cease to exist.
Sun 13:56:40 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] debian has already had this problem
Sun 13:56:41 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] for years
Sun 13:56:45 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] not enough volunteers
Sun 13:56:47 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] not under cartel
Sun 13:56:54 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] or tille, tither
Sun 13:56:56 │ 〖kalel〗 │ Not bad enough yet, in my opinion.
Sun 13:56:58 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] *either
Sun 13:57:08 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] also predates lamb and harman
Sun 13:57:10 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] it gets worse
Sun 13:57:18 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] and GAFAM funds and controls their servers
Sun 13:57:39 │ 〖kalel〗 │ Thankfully DPL is always for one year, but they can do a lot of damage in one year if they choose to do so.

Sun 13:57:59 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] morale was already bad when ian went to sun
Sun 13:58:03 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] to chase money
Sun 13:58:07 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] and make openindiana etc
Sun 13:59:40 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] later he went to docker
Sun 13:59:44 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] prior to that LF IIRC
Sun 13:59:45 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] as CTO
Sun 13:59:47 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] IIRC
Sun 13:59:52 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] so he was chasing money
Sun 13:59:55 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] and boosting bloat
Sun 13:59:58 │ 〖kalel〗 │ Maybe my actual concern is that I don't see an alternative to debian. Anything based on debian is worse than debian, and everything not based on debian is some gimmick or too corporate to suit my usecases without cashing out big $$$
Sun 14:00:01 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] and security disasters like containers
Sun 14:00:13 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] so debian was seeing its own daddy turning his back on them
Sun 14:00:56 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] there areee several branches

Sun 14:04:29 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] ubuntu seems bigger than debian
Sun 14:04:30 │ 〖kalel〗 │ I need a distro that is used by enough people so that there is sufficient documentation out there and sufficient expertise, both free and paid, and that doesn't make me jump through hoops to get the installation running, and is based on glibc.

Sun 14:04:40 │ 〖kalel〗 │ ubuntu pushes snaps and I'm not comfortable with snaps
Sun 14:04:44 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] ubuntu is now managed by a very young british spy with little commercial experience
Sun 14:04:49 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] and he makes awful decisions
Sun 14:04:59 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] based on very limited experience in the brtitish army
Sun 14:05:02 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] where he did spying
Sun 14:05:25 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] so a london-based distro
Sun 14:05:27 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] like aus-0based one
Sun 14:05:30 │ 〖kalel〗 │ meh, I was forced to go to the military for 2 years, and I did tech stuff too (spying), it doesn't mean much.
Sun 14:05:31 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] (IBM Red Hat)
Sun 14:05:38 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] is sort of connecccted to imperialism

Sun 14:42:20 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] IBM for decades now has suffered from THE EMPEROR HAS NO CLOTHES (Robbie Thomas in hoodies and sneakers does not count) and THE PETER PRINCIPLE: The Peter Principle is a management theory formulated by Dr. Laurence J. Peter in 1968, which states that employees in a hierarchical organization tend to be promoted based on their performance in their current role rather than their suitability for the next level. Consequently, individua
Sun 14:42:25 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] ls continue to be promoted until they reach a position for which they are incompetent, at which point they no longer demonstrate the required skills for further advancement. This leads to the "final placement" or "Peter's Plateau," where the employee remains stuck, often lowering team productivity and morale due to their inability to effectively perform their new duties.
Sun 14:42:32 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] The principle is a critique of conventional promotion practices that equate technical skill in one role with leadership capability in another—such as promoting a stellar technician to a managerial role requiring interpersonal skills they lack. While initially written as a satire, research has validated the principle, showing that companies often promote based on past success, leading to poor management performance after promotio

Sun 21:37:23 │ 〖Goblin〗 │ Just installed Tuxracer - its come a long way since I last tried it. Very impressed.
Sun 21:39:42 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Well, the good news is we allegedly got the pilot back, but they won't say his name or show any proof of that, and the bad news is we lost three more aircraft during the operation including an Army helicopter and two MC-130J planes each worth over $100 million.
Sun 21:39:44 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ The operation to get him back cost us over $500 million when he shouldn't have even been over there to get shot down in the first place.

Sun 23:25:45 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ MinceR: For some reason most oil filters cause a short "Low Oil Pressure" warning on my dashboard on startup sometimes.
Sun 23:25:53 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ It's only there for like 1-2 seconds then it goes away.
Sun 23:26:06 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I switched to the Mobil 1 M1-101A oil filter and haven't seen it since.
Sun 23:26:29 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I've tried tons of oil filters and most of them seem to have the same problem although some are worse than others.
Sun 23:26:52 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ GM's official oil filter is the PF47, and even that one does it occasionally.
Sun 23:34:27 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I'm wondering if one of the AC Delco Gold UPR47 filters would have the same issue.
Sun 23:34:36 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ GM got really skimpy on the PF47.
Sun 23:34:49 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ It's got cardboard endcaps and nylon inner corre.
Sun 23:35:15 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ If you're going to use a PF47 you might as well just save another $1 and use the Super Tech filter from Walmart. It's the same thing really.
Sun 23:35:40 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ when you have this issue, when do you replace the oil filter?
Sun 23:36:10 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ You know, they have to cut $1 out of the filter price because those dealers have no profit at all with a $120 oil change "coupon".
Sun 23:36:22 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ [18:35] <MinceR> when you have this issue, when do you replace the oil filter?
Sun 23:36:28 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ They do it even if they're brand new.
Sun 23:36:39 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I still change my oil out about every 3,000 miles.
Sun 23:36:46 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Sludge is some seriously bad news.
Sun 23:36:49 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ You don't want it.
Sun 23:36:52 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ you can't really replace the oil filter without also replacing the oil, right?
Sun 23:37:00 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ You can.
Sun 23:37:11 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ You'll need to top off the oil if you do but you could.
Sun 23:37:16 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Don't know why you would.
Sun 23:37:40 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ ic
Sun 23:37:49 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ You'll lose about .25-.5 quarts when you take the filter off, out of a 4.5 qt system.
Sun 23:38:32 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I bought a MANN + HUMMEL filter off Amazon and demanded a refund when I found out the stupid Germans designed it without an anti-drainback valve.
Sun 23:38:45 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I tossed it. I'm not putting something like that on the car.
Sun 23:38:52 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ It has enough problems without dry starts.
Sun 23:39:27 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Some cars don't need a check valve in the oil filter. They're built into the car itself at some point along the way.
Sun 23:39:30 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ But most do.
Sun 23:39:58 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ The point of the check valve is to keep the filter and the system past the filter full of oil so it doesn't drain back into the pan.
Sun 23:40:30 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Dry starts are seriously bad news for the engine.
Sun 23:40:40 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ The longer it runs without oil the worse off you are.
Sun 23:40:54 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Even a few extra seconds every time you start the car is not acceptable.
Sun 23:43:54 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ GM had a lot of engine failures in their pickup trucks over the past few years.
Sun 23:44:16 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ They designed the engines poorly, and the "solution" was to move from 0w20 oil to 5w40.
Sun 23:44:33 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ They specified oil that was causing the engine to just tear itself up.
