| schestowitz | Due to yesterday's computer crash (while I was asleep and it was doing a backup) I had to fuse in missing bits from another computer also connected to IRC. I hope I didn't get something wrong in this manual process. | Jan 07 03:39 |

| schestowitz | [03:48] <schestowitz> > Happy New Year! | Jan 07 04:51 |
| schestowitz | [03:48] <schestowitz> You too, thank you. | Jan 07 04:51 |
| schestowitz | [03:48] <schestowitz> Several Techrights associates are aware of the Seattle PD thing as well. I circulated parts of the timeline privately. So you are backed up, so to speak. | Jan 07 04:51 |
| schestowitz | [03:48] <schestowitz> Suffice to say, if they ever stonewall, repeatedly, they can be publicly accused of aiding abusers. If they're aware of this, they will release something... the question is, how much? Any redaction can leave more questions than answer. This much too they should know. | Jan 07 04:52 |
| schestowitz | > I’m committed to getting what I've requested so far from Seattle PD and you’ll be kept in the loop. | Jan 07 05:29 |
| schestowitz | Thank you. They must be aware of consequences of releasing or not releasing. | Jan 07 05:29 |
| schestowitz | > Of course I’m going to attempt to remain as anonymous as possible. If you could help me to protect my identity I would very much appreciate it. | Jan 07 05:29 |
| schestowitz | The police might know, but nobody else. Also, with encrypted communications we can be seen as talking, but they cannot see what >about<. | Jan 07 05:29 |
| schestowitz | > On another topic: I am super curious to know if you could recommend good OSINT resources. Especially in looking for people who don’t want to be found like Rick Allen Jones. | Jan 07 05:29 |
| schestowitz | The Rick you found is a Microsoft employee, quite senior in fact, and likely not related to the person who stood trial. | Jan 07 05:29 |
| schestowitz | >I use some API’s for searching email addresses and their associated social media accounts. I’ve yet to find how to search for associated accounts from a Twitter username. I’m sure there are huge data banks and I’ve only scratched the surface on them. Are there any you can recommend? | Jan 07 05:29 |
| schestowitz | The name "Rick Allen Jones" is far too common (also substrings of it) to be worth bothering with. I usually only attempt to find or link accounts of people with sufficiently unique names. In the past I confused even one Microsoft employee with another... exact same names. It's risky as you can then accuse one person of somebody else's bad deeds. | Jan 07 05:29 |
| schestowitz | >> I can guess how that came about. But maybe you can say more... it looks | Jan 07 06:27 |
| schestowitz | >> like a spare file has been deleted since... by you. | Jan 07 06:27 |

| schestowitz | > It looks like the dump on the 6th did not complete, perhaps due to the | Jan 07 06:27 |

| schestowitz | Due to past incidents of a similar nature I added directions to delete backups also 2 days and 3 days (and 4 days!) old... | Jan 07 06:27 |
| schestowitz | d=$(date +"%F") | Jan 07 06:27 |
| schestowitz | rm -f /home/boycottn/tmdatabase-$(date -d "$d 1 day ago" +"%F").dump.gz | Jan 07 06:27 |
| schestowitz | rm -f /home/boycottn/tmdatabase-$(date -d "$d 2 day ago" +"%F").dump.gz | Jan 07 06:27 |
| schestowitz | rm -f /home/boycottn/tmdatabase-$(date -d "$d 3 day ago" +"%F").dump.gz | Jan 07 06:27 |
| schestowitz | rm -f /home/boycottn/tmdatabase-$(date -d "$d 4 day ago" +"%F").dump.gz | Jan 07 06:27 |
| schestowitz | We should do the same for non-gzipped files just in case. Shall you or shall I do this? You said you'd change cron owner/user as well, so I don't want to touch that, risking edit conflicts. | Jan 07 06:27 |
| schestowitz | BTW, belated reply as I check the integrity of backup drives at the moment... they're 11TB in total. Oliva and I discussed these recently and he made technical suggestions. I have a lot of past research/university work and data on those. | Jan 07 06:27 |
| schestowitz | >> I had three devastating incidents yesterday; none entirely my fault so I | Jan 07 06:27 |
| schestowitz | >> try hard not to kick myself over these. I told the wife at least 5 times | Jan 07 06:28 |
| schestowitz | >> about it, insisting I'd wake up early today to 'make up' for these. | Jan 07 06:28 |

| schestowitz | In this case, >none< of the 3 was preventable. Rianne told me not to run the backup while asleep tonight... to "let it rest" :-) | Jan 07 06:28 |

| schestowitz | As one can tell, he bases some of his research on redacted stuff in our IRC logs. He even cites particular lines of it in social media. | Jan 07 06:28 |
| schestowitz | Yesterday I checked the unicode chars (not emojis) and realised particular browsers renders these like colourful cartoon! Calendar and clock included... | Jan 07 06:28 |
| schestowitz | The 3-hour gap in IRC logging, which I manually filled (I have 3-4 redundancy sources... TR server, Mark in Canada, other people in IRC and our 4 laptops always connected to IRC!), was a bit of a 'test run' -- the first since September when we did daily releases -- to assure we have contingencies working well. Next time will be a lot faster (we use xchat-style logging BTW, other formats just don't work well with this python program). | Jan 07 06:28 |
| schestowitz | I also passed you my script for tuxmachines IRC logs, which at the moment we do annually as most activity in that channel is just the bot, viera. That might change (the activity type and publication frequency). | Jan 07 06:28 |
| schestowitz | "The news" is starting to pick up again. I need another two or three nights to complete and check integrity of my old backups. Took a day off work. I then need to send one old drive to a friend (offsite backup). He moved houses last year. Lost my old backup drive in the process.. maybe even chucked it away he told me on Friday! But it's a backup of a backup, so... | Jan 07 06:28 |

| schestowitz | Alright, shall we now add deletion of old uncompressed backups? | Jan 07 06:31 |
| schestowitz | rm -f /home/boycottn/tmdatabase-$(date -d "$d 1 day ago" +"%F").dump | Jan 07 06:31 |
| schestowitz | rm -f /home/boycottn/tmdatabase-$(date -d "$d 2 day ago" +"%F").dump | Jan 07 06:31 |
| schestowitz | rm -f /home/boycottn/tmdatabase-$(date -d "$d 3 day ago" +"%F").dump | Jan 07 06:31 |
| schestowitz | rm -f /home/boycottn/tmdatabase-$(date -d "$d 4 day ago" +"%F").dump | Jan 07 06:31 |
| schestowitz | Is this the form they take? Do you see any potential issues or scenarios of a 'bug'? | Jan 07 06:31 |
| schestowitz | All the above says it, delete all recent backups that aren't compressed, before | Jan 07 06:31 |
| schestowitz | rm -f /home/boycottn/tmdatabase-$(date -d "$d 1 day ago" +"%F").dump.gz | Jan 07 06:31 |
| schestowitz | rm -f /home/boycottn/tmdatabase-$(date -d "$d 2 day ago" +"%F").dump.gz | Jan 07 06:31 |

| schestowitz | rm -f /home/boycottn/tmdatabase-$(date -d "$d 4 day ago" +"%F").dump.gz | Jan 07 06:32 |
| schestowitz | I guess we could also make the dump conditional upon disk space being available. That would make techrights more robust as well (if implemented there too). I never before implemented such a check, but I guess there are examples online. By deleting the above we merely assume there will be sufficient space for a new dump. | Jan 07 06:32 |
