|---|---|---|
| schestowitz-TR | managed to do them all in less than 30 mins this time | Jul 01 02:11 |
| schestowitz-TR | those could in theory be automated, but the time taken to automate it | Jul 01 02:11 |
| schestowitz-TR | would be more than manual 12 times a year | Jul 01 02:11 |
| schestowitz-TR | debian 11 on the pi updated | Jul 01 02:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | still no new kernel for me to try to boot into (am on 5.10.x, not 5.15+) | Jul 01 02:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | tbh, thinking about it, given ipfs performing poorly | Jul 01 02:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | i might just let it run an hour a day | Jul 01 02:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | as for wifi, won't go back to it either | Jul 01 02:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | the imperative is to protect that machine | Jul 01 02:17 |

| Techrights-sec2 | :( | Jul 01 07:53 |
| Techrights-sec2 | As mentioned previously, he has gone around the bend. | Jul 01 07:53 |
| schestowitz-TR | it's like when politicians sell "seat at the dinner table next to me" | Jul 01 07:55 |
| schestowitz-TR | (lobbying, influencing, socialising) for like 75,000 a pop | Jul 01 07:55 |
| Techrights-sec2 | yes, that too | Jul 01 07:57 |
| Techrights-sec2 | but with him there is no 'value added' to consider | Jul 01 07:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | was just thinking in relation to the two links above (mr. covid and us stats) | Jul 01 08:00 |
| schestowitz-TR | if one told me, but roy.... it's because we no longer wear masks | Jul 01 08:00 |
| schestowitz-TR | I'd say "I KNOW!! That's the issue! And that's why so many end up in hospital this summer" | Jul 01 08:00 |
| schestowitz-TR | not sure you clicked it | Jul 01 08:00 |
| schestowitz-TR | but the hospitals are getting filled with covid patients again | Jul 01 08:00 |
| schestowitz-TR | if I was hospitalised for something else, that too would affect me | Jul 01 08:00 |
| schestowitz-TR | and I suppose it's not just a uk issue, rianne's relatives who are nurses | Jul 01 08:00 |
| schestowitz-TR | noticed an uptick as well | Jul 01 08:00 |
| Techrights-sec2 | I've not seen the details but know that the infection levels are higher than | Jul 01 08:00 |
| Techrights-sec2 | ever | Jul 01 08:00 |
| schestowitz-TR | a uk issue, rianne's relatives who are nurses | Jul 01 08:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | noticed an uptick as well | Jul 01 08:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | 1) in summer | Jul 01 08:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | 2) as WELL AS hospitalisation | Jul 01 08:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | so there's no basis to the argument that. it's OK now, let it just spread | Jul 01 08:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | dfc's mom just got that | Jul 01 08:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | ---- | Jul 01 08:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | many banks have "IT" issues that go beyond Microsoft | Jul 01 08:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | knowing pertinent tedetails would hep | Jul 01 08:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | *help | Jul 01 08:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | apropos, clown computing for a municipality from a FOREIGN provider never made sense | Jul 01 08:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | I wrote about it before without naming the city | Jul 01 08:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | this would not fly a decade or two decades ago | Jul 01 08:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | like I said the other week/month, the issue we deal with here is more than a brand | Jul 01 08:07 |
| schestowitz-TR | and "computer" schools seem to be part of the problem | Jul 01 08:07 |
| schestowitz-TR | making bad practices "acceptable" because of sponsors and "the market" | Jul 01 08:07 |
| schestowitz-TR | to the ordinary citizen this becomes visible or manifests itself as | Jul 01 08:07 |
| schestowitz-TR | "the system is down" or "Russia is having a go (cyberattack) at us" | Jul 01 08:07 |
| schestowitz-TR | it's also a cost (overhead) | Jul 01 08:07 |
| schestowitz-TR | I think we must responds to the FUD, without giving too much visibility tot he | Jul 01 08:07 |
| schestowitz-TR | FUD itself | Jul 01 08:07 |
| schestowitz-TR | and the goal is to equip other people with artguments | Jul 01 08:08 |
| schestowitz-TR | so that they do the "legwork" with us | Jul 01 08:08 |
| Techrights-sec2 | yes there seem to be a growing number of schools that fraudulently present | Jul 01 08:08 |
| Techrights-sec2 | themselves as "computer" schools when all they do is train microsoft resellers | Jul 01 08:08 |
| Techrights-sec2 | as far as desktop software, they don't even teach how to use the applications | Jul 01 08:08 |
| Techrights-sec2 | efficiently, | Jul 01 08:08 |
| schestowitz-TR | so... the DIPLOMAS MILLS (certifications) became THE schools | Jul 01 08:09 |
| schestowitz-TR | *DIPLOMA | Jul 01 08:09 |
| schestowitz-TR | I think those always existed, but maybe it beocmes the "norm" now | Jul 01 08:09 |
| Techrights-sec2 | schools became diploma mills thanks in large part to the Bologna Agreement | Jul 01 08:12 |
| schestowitz-TR | what does that generally mean to us? | Jul 01 08:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | that more colleagues will be promoted or introduced into companies in spite of a lack of merit? | Jul 01 08:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | that others ("competitors") will be wrose off? | Jul 01 08:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | that the economy, collectivelyt, will be curtailed at our expense or to our detrimnent? | Jul 01 08:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | hiosotyr shows that countries that don't stand out perish | Jul 01 08:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | and meanwhile some countries do adopt things like matrix znd flourish with real tech | Jul 01 08:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | but the one I partly have in mind here is norway | Jul 01 08:14 |
| Techrights-sec2 | the difference being that nowadays the countries are so interconnected that | Jul 01 08:18 |
| Techrights-sec2 | the forced incompetence can drag them all down; too few are able to see M$ | Jul 01 08:18 |
| Techrights-sec2 | products for the albatross that they are and even fewer able to even make | Jul 01 08:18 |
| Techrights-sec2 | an effort to cast off the yoke | Jul 01 08:18 |
| Techrights-sec2 | how is Norway going to stand out? | Jul 01 08:26 |
| Techrights-sec2 | They're up to their ears in M$ products | Jul 01 08:26 |
| Techrights-sec2 | ever since the fallout from that first mass shooting | Jul 01 08:26 |
| Techrights-sec2 | One guess is that the backdoors were used as a selling point to derail | Jul 01 08:26 |
| Techrights-sec2 | the move to FOSS which had advanced quite far by that time | Jul 01 08:26 |
| schestowitz-TR | it seems many in norway moved to apple and gnu/linux on the client side | Jul 01 08:28 |
| schestowitz-TR | universally, a lot of the back end is gnu/libre/linux and bsd | Jul 01 08:28 |
| schestowitz-TR | but sadly "clown" | Jul 01 08:28 |
| schestowitz-TR | consolidation around few DCs owned by leazeballs | Jul 01 08:28 |
| schestowitz-TR | as early as tomorrow afternoon I expect we'll have more data from "web-connected clients" | Jul 01 08:38 |
| schestowitz-TR | in turkey, russia etc. | Jul 01 08:38 |
| schestowitz-TR | we need to show Windows is going down | Jul 01 08:38 |
| schestowitz-TR | as the media is complicity in spreading lies for Microsoft about it | Jul 01 08:38 |
| schestowitz-TR | to keep foolish shareholders sinking money into The Scam | Jul 01 08:38 |
| Techrights-sec2 | yes the "clown" aspect allows for detailed surveillance and this thus | Jul 01 08:39 |
| Techrights-sec2 | "permissible" | Jul 01 08:39 |
| Techrights-sec2 | If the mainstream press were to point out that nearly 100% of malware, | Jul 01 08:39 |
| Techrights-sec2 | especially active infections, were due to M$ and not affecting GNU/Linux or BSD | Jul 01 08:39 |
| Techrights-sec2 | then that could bring on a tipping point quite quickly. There seem to have been | Jul 01 08:39 |
| Techrights-sec2 | a lot of successful, major DDoS attacks recently. Those are only possible due | Jul 01 08:39 |
| Techrights-sec2 | to the vast armies of compromised, networked Windows machines used in the | Jul 01 08:39 |
| Techrights-sec2 | huge botnets. | Jul 01 08:39 |
| Techrights-sec2 | The media spreading lies on behalf of M$ has been a growing difficulty for | Jul 01 08:39 |
| Techrights-sec2 | at least two decades now. Back at the beginning it was just the fringe | Jul 01 08:39 |
| Techrights-sec2 | doing that, maybe an individual author here or there but now it is the | Jul 01 08:39 |
| Techrights-sec2 | entirety of the trade press with no exception, aside from maybe Sam | Jul 01 08:39 |
| schestowitz-TR | sam wrorte two piece of garbage yesterday | Jul 01 08:39 |
| schestowitz-TR | I was about to tell you, but figured you had seen already | Jul 01 08:39 |
| schestowitz-TR | nothingof value | Jul 01 08:39 |
| Techrights-sec2 | no I had not seen, I skim over garbage, I should try to track the names | Jul 01 08:40 |
| Techrights-sec2 | but I don't have the sports team mentality where I can track the players | Jul 01 08:40 |
| Techrights-sec2 | and their scores easily | Jul 01 08:40 |
| Techrights-sec2 | I'm sure he must be under great pressure to join the corruption there at work | Jul 01 08:40 |
| schestowitz-TR | itwire very rarly has something of value to TR | Jul 01 08:40 |
| schestowitz-TR | very rarely | Jul 01 08:40 |
| schestowitz-TR | more often it's pure junk like spamnil | Jul 01 08:40 |

| schestowitz-TR | he does some "Smart" phone articles | Jul 01 08:56 |
| Techrights-sec2 | I check the actual web page but although it's low yield it is not yet low | Jul 01 08:59 |

| Techrights-sec2 | reason to check it soon | Jul 01 08:59 |
| Techrights-sec2 | Broadbandbreakfast was anothe which has collapsed quickly recently | Jul 01 08:59 |
| schestowitz-TR | such sites, if accessed "raw", are likely to pollute the mind of paid-for garbage and reduce the signal by adding noise to one's head | Jul 01 08:59 |

| schestowitz-TR | look up "Microsoft proxy" | Jul 01 11:14 |

| schestowitz-TR | excellent, thanks! | Jul 01 13:51 |
| schestowitz-TR | almost done encoding now | Jul 01 13:51 |
| schestowitz-TR | I've just added another short draft about EPO | Jul 01 13:51 |
| Techrights-sec2 | np | Jul 01 13:51 |
| Techrights-sec2 | The acronym PPH needs expanding | Jul 01 13:58 |
| Techrights-sec2 | the closing sentence needs further support | Jul 01 13:58 |
| Techrights-sec2 | or somehow tie the closing sentence to the preceding paragraphs | Jul 01 13:58 |
| schestowitz-TR | I am going to redo those bits | Jul 01 13:58 |
| schestowitz-TR | I wrote them in a rush and it'll take a long time for that video to be ready anyway | Jul 01 13:58 |
| schestowitz-TR | I had toi wait 20 minutes to 'cool' down before recording | Jul 01 13:58 |
| schestowitz-TR | it's someething I learned during ooxml scandals | Jul 01 13:58 |
| schestowitz-TR | better to type when the anger isn't there | Jul 01 13:58 |
| schestowitz-TR | a lot of people are INFURIATED | Jul 01 13:58 |
| schestowitz-TR | EU said it would investigate OOXML crimes | Jul 01 13:58 |
| schestowitz-TR | it never did | Jul 01 13:58 |
| schestowitz-TR | useless gits | Jul 01 13:58 |
| Techrights-sec2 | ok but maybe EPO acts like a monoarchy, I don't thing that beyond that it is | Jul 01 13:59 |
| Techrights-sec2 | an actual monarchy | Jul 01 13:59 |
| Techrights-sec2 | regarding the OOXML scandals, IIRC the entire Norwegian standards board resigned | Jul 01 13:59 |
| Techrights-sec2 | in protest and *nothing* was done except to restock the boad with yes men. | Jul 01 13:59 |
| schestowitz-TR | yes, I was about to mention norwat | Jul 01 14:00 |
| schestowitz-TR | y | Jul 01 14:00 |
| schestowitz-TR | we wrote many posts about what had happened there | Jul 01 14:00 |
| Techrights-sec2 | in the draft there is a factual error: EPO is not a monarchy, though it might | Jul 01 14:20 |
| Techrights-sec2 | act like one | Jul 01 14:20 |

| schestowitz-TR | managers: we have issues, so we need more papers, not better staff or tech | Jul 01 16:36 |
| schestowitz-TR | usually they do not even check that what you tell them if in fatc true | Jul 01 16:38 |
| schestowitz-TR | they just charge you money in exchange for those piece of papers | Jul 01 16:38 |

| schestowitz-TR | sorry for the bad news :| | Jul 01 16:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | otoh, with all these people, who once did fine work, shooting themselves in the foot, | Jul 01 16:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | maybe there's more room for rebuttal | Jul 01 16:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | the very latest daily links had the Bryant link just for the editorial comment next to that | Jul 01 16:50 |
| Techrights-sec2 | one would thing but the trade is shrinking drastically; many disappear or sell | Jul 01 16:50 |
| Techrights-sec2 | out and there are /no/ new positions opening up anywhere to speak of | Jul 01 16:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | "Slashdot" bought Linux Journal | Jul 01 16:51 |
| schestowitz-TR | the upside is that the site remains online | Jul 01 16:51 |
| schestowitz-TR | the issue is, they only publish an article about twice a month | Jul 01 16:51 |
| schestowitz-TR | and it's usually a howtos | Jul 01 16:51 |
| schestowitz-TR | it's basically in hibernation mode | Jul 01 16:51 |
| Techrights-sec2 | slashdot was compromised several times over long before that | Jul 01 16:52 |
