| schestowitz-TR | I am about to read this text | Apr 01 10:00 |
| schestowitz-TR | before I do | Apr 01 10:00 |
| schestowitz-TR | I wanted to say | Apr 01 10:00 |
| schestowitz-TR | I removed cars, TVs and to some extent phones from my life | Apr 01 10:00 |
| schestowitz-TR | the mind can focus better | Apr 01 10:00 |
| schestowitz-TR | and also I spoke about electric windows in cars | Apr 01 10:00 |
| schestowitz-TR | You would not expect electronic replacements for many | Apr 01 10:00 |
| schestowitz-TR | mechanical things that are otherwise easy to repair by | Apr 01 10:00 |
| schestowitz-TR | hand inc. bikes | Apr 01 10:00 |
| schestowitz-TR | reading now... | Apr 01 10:00 |
| schestowitz-TR | OK, so this is more about ISPs than cars | Apr 01 10:03 |
| schestowitz-TR | I do need an ISP and they all suck, almost literally\ | Apr 01 10:03 |
| schestowitz-TR | so it ends up being a "least evil" choice | Apr 01 10:03 |
| schestowitz-TR | the energy providers here are the same | Apr 01 10:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | price hikes while profits soar | Apr 01 10:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | so I sarted using the electric shaver again | Apr 01 10:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | it's from my grnandpa who dies 25 years ago | Apr 01 10:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | *died | Apr 01 10:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | those don't last that long anymore | Apr 01 10:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | I mean the shavers, not the grandpas | Apr 01 10:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | though with covid-19, both statements would be true | Apr 01 10:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | you can see this week's rants of mine in schestowitz.com | Apr 01 10:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | covid is infecting more than 1% of the pop every single week | Apr 01 10:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | vis a vis cars, | Apr 01 10:06 |
| schestowitz-TR | last night when doing the nend of month tasks (takes about 30 mins) | Apr 01 10:06 |
| schestowitz-TR | I watched the talk rms gave in germany in 2019 | Apr 01 10:06 |
| schestowitz-TR | he did mention some aspects of modern cars | Apr 01 10:06 |
| schestowitz-TR | that I had not thought off | Apr 01 10:06 |
| schestowitz-TR | *of | Apr 01 10:06 |
| schestowitz-TR | made a joke about KSA/MbS along the way | Apr 01 10:06 |
| schestowitz-TR | and how they would use cars | Apr 01 10:06 |
| schestowitz-TR | iirc,. uber is largely KSA_funded | Apr 01 10:06 |
| schestowitz-TR | the shaver that I use still uses the same blades grandpa weas using in the 90s | Apr 01 10:09 |
| schestowitz-TR | they are not the best, but they are good enough | Apr 01 10:10 |
| schestowitz-TR | maybe the companies cheapaned the material since then | Apr 01 10:10 |
| schestowitz-TR | the lightbulb model | Apr 01 10:10 |
| Techrights-sec | Yes, I guessed at the beginning that if 35% become infected and 1% of those die | Apr 01 10:12 |
| Techrights-sec | then that is a /lot/ of people. I may have been overly optimistic in both | Apr 01 10:12 |
| Techrights-sec | numbers | Apr 01 10:12 |
| Techrights-sec | Not a surprise that Uber has such financial backing given how badly it damages | Apr 01 10:12 |
| Techrights-sec | society in general and the labor market in particular. | Apr 01 10:12 |
| Techrights-sec | The blades wear out regardless of how well they could make them but they | Apr 01 10:12 |
| Techrights-sec | don't emphasize quality there since the blades now cost a sizable portion | Apr 01 10:12 |
| Techrights-sec | of the cost of a whole new shaver | Apr 01 10:12 |
| schestowitz-TR | call me eccentric | Apr 01 10:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | but there is sentimental value associated with stuff I got from | Apr 01 10:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | grandparents | Apr 01 10:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | so there is also a reluctance to 'modernise' those things | Apr 01 10:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | not being a museum, but rather preserving what I can | Apr 01 10:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | also seeing how utterly shitty the "modern" equivalents tene dto be | Apr 01 10:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | esp. in the sense they do not last long | Apr 01 10:14 |

| Techrights-sec | "durable" goods aren't any more. They're designed for key, irreplaceable parts | Apr 01 10:22 |
| Techrights-sec | to faile within a year of the warranty ending. A lot of work is apparently | Apr 01 10:22 |
| Techrights-sec | put into that. There is some potential EU legislation about repair that | Apr 01 10:22 |
| Techrights-sec | might cause that to change but odds are that the companies will either lobby | Apr 01 10:22 |
| Techrights-sec | their way out of the legislation or else just ignore it | Apr 01 10:22 |
| Techrights-sec | There was some investigative reports on that kind of thing going back to the | Apr 01 10:22 |
| Techrights-sec | early days of incandescent lightbulbs and nylons. The lifespan of the bulbs | Apr 01 10:22 |
| Techrights-sec | was intentionally reduced through industry-wide consipiracy. Similar with the | Apr 01 10:22 |
| Techrights-sec | nylons which could be made high quality as far as appearance and texture but | Apr 01 10:22 |
| Techrights-sec | robust and resistant to "running". The other industries have slowing started | Apr 01 10:22 |
| Techrights-sec | to follow that kind of scam. In recent years it has been getting out of | Apr 01 10:22 |
| Techrights-sec | conttrol. Louis Rossmann has been finding and publicizing more companies and | Apr 01 10:22 |
| Techrights-sec | products that screw customers that way. | Apr 01 10:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | we now boil water only on the hob with a cover on, as you suggedted | Apr 01 10:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | the hob might not last very long | Apr 01 10:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | but at least it is already there, used for other things too | Apr 01 10:23 |
| schestowitz-TR | quiterss can be a RAM hog | Apr 01 10:26 |
| schestowitz-TR | if you have a lot of feed | Apr 01 10:26 |
| schestowitz-TR | I monitor cpu usage all the time | Apr 01 10:26 |
| schestowitz-TR | over ssh to my main laptop | Apr 01 10:26 |
| schestowitz-TR | quiterss does not do much if idle | Apr 01 10:26 |
| schestowitz-TR | I wonder if I will get a home visot from Borisnaro | Apr 01 10:26 |
| schestowitz-TR | for using a Russian RSS reader | Apr 01 10:26 |
| Techrights-sec | That too | Apr 01 10:26 |
| Techrights-sec | Perhaps | Apr 01 10:26 |
| Techrights-sec | I should write one | Apr 01 10:26 |
| Techrights-sec | in Python3 | Apr 01 10:26 |
| schestowitz-TR | [H]omer, who helped set up our IRC, did that | Apr 01 10:26 |
| schestowitz-TR | about 15 years ago | Apr 01 10:26 |
| schestowitz-TR | python 2 I think | Apr 01 10:26 |
| schestowitz-TR | slated.org guy | Apr 01 10:27 |
| Techrights-sec | there are a lot of improved things available nowadays | Apr 01 10:30 |
| Techrights-sec | for python scripting | Apr 01 10:30 |
| schestowitz-TR | I've lost any affection I had for python | Apr 01 10:30 |
| schestowitz-TR | (i never had much) | Apr 01 10:30 |
| schestowitz-TR | for technical reasons and guido reasons | Apr 01 10:31 |
| Techrights-sec | never had any for it myself, but python is an unfortunate necessity in many | Apr 01 10:35 |
| Techrights-sec | cases | Apr 01 10:35 |
| schestowitz-TR | i turn off quiterss a lot. afaik, it's still the best option around for several reasons. | Apr 01 10:36 |
| schestowitz-TR | I am glad feedburner is dead | Apr 01 10:36 |
| schestowitz-TR | not so glad some sites outsource to DF | Apr 01 10:36 |
| schestowitz-TR | CF | Apr 01 10:36 |
| schestowitz-TR | which then sends JS instead of RSS | Apr 01 10:36 |
| schestowitz-TR | but if those sites are that dumb | Apr 01 10:37 |
| schestowitz-TR | then let them suffer | Apr 01 10:37 |
| Techrights-sec | Javascript also kills the laptop battery; in 99% of the cases where I've seen | Apr 01 10:40 |
| Techrights-sec | javascript it has been unecessary and counterproductive | Apr 01 10:40 |
| schestowitz-TR | I always have it turned off in quiterss | Apr 01 10:40 |
| schestowitz-TR | if possible, I also view the raw summary, not the html | Apr 01 10:41 |
| Techrights-sec | QuiteRSS consumes *LOTS* of CPU even without javascript | Apr 01 10:55 |
| Techrights-sec | Most "web" pages burn CPU through gratuitous javascript. I wonder how many | Apr 01 10:55 |
| Techrights-sec | of the world's power plants are running full time just to serve javascript | Apr 01 10:55 |
| Techrights-sec | instead of regular HTML + CSS | Apr 01 10:55 |
| schestowitz-TR | i have just observed quiterss | Apr 01 10:56 |
| schestowitz-TR | when idle it takes not even 1% of cpu cycles here | Apr 01 10:56 |
| schestowitz-TR | maybe check config | Apr 01 10:56 |
| schestowitz-TR | or benchmark by observation | Apr 01 10:56 |
| Techrights-sec | powertop shows it also | Apr 01 10:57 |
| Techrights-sec | anyway back in a few hours | Apr 01 10:57 |

| schestowitz-TR | gulag keeps breaking things | Apr 01 15:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | with help from shithub (microsoft) | Apr 01 15:14 |
| Techrights-sec | the gist of the Johnson presentation at LibrePlanet is that the web browsers | Apr 01 17:01 |
| Techrights-sec | are basically functioning as VMs, though he describes the problem very differently | Apr 01 17:01 |
| Techrights-sec | he does nail it by describing javascript sites as slow, bloated, and insecure | Apr 01 17:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | yes, metaphorically a VM | Apr 01 17:02 |
| schestowitz-TR | even the technical term is metaphor | Apr 01 17:02 |
| schestowitz-TR | same for containers | Apr 01 17:02 |
| schestowitz-TR | there are types of these | Apr 01 17:02 |
| schestowitz-TR | microsoft still pretends windows has thgeseB | Apr 01 17:02 |
| Techrights-sec | it is a VM which runs unsigned unauthenticated programs from random origins | Apr 01 17:02 |
| schestowitz-TR | did you see the RMS talk? I think we can link to the whole thing | Apr 01 17:02 |
| schestowitz-TR | he didn't act too badly | Apr 01 17:03 |
| schestowitz-TR | only a small burp halfware | Apr 01 17:03 |
| schestowitz-TR | I mentioned the one minute with light jokes | Apr 01 17:03 |
| *DaemonFC (~daemonfc@dgnqxf56ud7ge.irc) has joined #boycottnovell | Apr 01 17:15 | |
| Techrights-sec | yes, I suppose the jokes are humorous but having them in video form | Apr 01 17:26 |
| Techrights-sec | is quite a lot of effort and bandwidth, so if they are used there should | Apr 01 17:26 |
| Techrights-sec | be a summary warning that there are two lighthearted jokes in the video | Apr 01 17:26 |
| Techrights-sec | the second joke was much better than the first one | Apr 01 17:26 |
| schestowitz-TR | oh, yeah, it needs a complete download first | Apr 01 17:26 |
| schestowitz-TR | never mind, at least you alone enjoyed the pointer | Apr 01 17:26 |
| schestowitz-TR | I have about 12-18 more talks from libreplanet I want to share | Apr 01 17:27 |
| schestowitz-TR | some are not appropriate | Apr 01 17:27 |
