What he does not and cannot say in GulagTube is that they now need to look into the same thing wrt vaccination

schestowitz-TR

rather than infection

schestowitz-TR

just rebooted

Nov 07 09:27

schestowitz-TR

system acting a little strange

Nov 07 09:27

Nov 07 09:27

Techrightssec

reboots are necessary when the kernel or certain libraries are updated,

Nov 07 09:28

Techrightssec

also it's a good way to clear out long running processes

Nov 07 09:28

Techrightssec

otherwise with some libraries, you can get inconsistent behaviour

Nov 07 09:30

schestowitz-TR

in my case, it seems like kde issue, kwallet and kate not working optimally atm

Nov 07 09:33

schestowitz-TR

doing system update as well just in case

Nov 07 09:33

schestowitz-TR

but the net effort is lost time, nothing else

Nov 07 09:33

schestowitz-TR

think I foun d the cuprit

schestowitz-TR

tldr; messed around with kwallet, which left kate hanging, waiting to make remote connections to open files

schestowitz-TR

I will TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY to tidy things up

schestowitz-TR

Monday mornings are quiet anyway

schestowitz-TR

the issue is something with kwallet

Nov 07 09:41

schestowitz-TR

not remembering passwords and just hanging

Nov 07 09:41

schestowitz-TR

I had a similar issue some days ago

Nov 07 09:41

schestowitz-TR

argh!!!!!

schestowitz-TR

I know where it is

schestowitz-TR

I already warned myself

schestowitz-TR

last year

schestowitz-TR

it's kwaller hindind behind a bunch of windows

schestowitz-TR

with a prompt

Nov 07 09:48

schestowitz-TR

took me half an hour to find it

Nov 07 09:48

schestowitz-TR

mystery solved!

Nov 07 09:48

Techrightssec

that could well be the result of mismatched libraries (update minus reboot)

Nov 07 09:51

schestowitz-TR

a reboot would have 'helped' in the sense it would give me another chance to see an hanging prompt

Nov 07 09:56

schestowitz-TR

this is not a new problem

Nov 07 09:56

schestowitz-TR

rianne had that too

Nov 07 09:57

schestowitz-TR

it's UI kludge

back in action

Nov 07 10:44

schestowitz-TR

without any of these niggles, I reckon a reboot and session/tasks restore should take 20 mins

Nov 07 10:44

schestowitz-TR

abotu the same as end of month tasks

nhs became truly awful

schestowitz-TR

just needed to escalate to a manager (not for me)

schestowitz-TR

after they play "pingpong" with patient

schestowitz-TR

physical, phone, "on line" (Web site, awful)

schestowitz-TR

I joked that next thing they'll do it call a webchat "GP visit"

schestowitz-TR

then outsource to lowpaid country

schestowitz-TR

then replace with "HEY HI"

schestowitz-TR

and still call it "national insurance" (HEY HI)

schestowitz-TR

They already try to do workflow charts as JS and call that "service"

schestowitz-TR

I remember in high school someone wrote in ML (not machine learning, the language

schestowitz-TR

like SML) some program to help with classificatiopn

schestowitz-TR

so this neo-liberal fantasy is like 25+ years old

schestowitz-TR

like the idea of "self-serving"

schestowitz-TR

and "cashless payments" universally

schestowitz-TR

no comment needed, just venting a little

Techrightssec

insurance != care

Nov 07 11:37

schestowitz-TR

for a lot of people the ambition to settle and have a quiet life is disrupted by

schestowitz-TR

ssoaring inflation and various other factors, inc. various changes at the health level,

schestowitz-TR

inc. relatives, and then there are factors that are neither financial or health related

schestowitz-TR

shhort story: life in 2020 onwards is very much difference from 1980s

schestowitz-TR

not to mention what "home ownership" meant 40 years ago

schestowitz-TR

I am happy and healthy, can't complain

schestowitz-TR

but make observation on many around me, who are a lot less fortunate

schestowitz-TR

and I don't see this turning around any time soon, the media here makes very grim predictions

schestowitz-TR

which can't possible be healthy albeit maybe sobering to the populace

schestowitz-TR

*possibly

schestowitz-TR

if my laptop has a third complete system freeze in 10 days or less, I will do a proper investigation

schestowitz-TR

I already moved my important files off it earlier this year

schestowitz-TR

but it's a good processor and I want to keep it for several more years

schestowitz-TR

the only net effect here is loss of time

schestowitz-TR

the loss of "notes" was very minimal

schestowitz-TR

thanks to the way file server and backups are done

schestowitz-TR

I didn't back up the sites last night, did not have time

schestowitz-TR

but it's on my list still

schestowitz-TR

once the dust settles I'll be able to do a lot more

schestowitz-TR

breyer has just written to me

schestowitz-TR

have not opened yet

schestowitz-TR

reluctant to start another long article

schestowitz-TR

got some more upc material as well

schestowitz-TR

I will limit toi breyer for now

schestowitz-TR

unless that avenue closes

good news: spoke to clinic manager, got an appointment in 3-hour notice this way

schestowitz-TR

so the escalation worked

schestowitz-TR

posting Daily Links now

Techrightssec

ack

Techrightssec

excellent

schestowitz-TR

you already know this: reading about FB and Twitter lately is music to my ears

Nov 07 12:49

schestowitz-TR

and I think it vindicates me for saying it would happen "in the next 5 years

Nov 07 12:49

schestowitz-TR

I could probably say "1 year" or "2 years" but played it safe

Nov 07 12:49

psydruid

crises and pandemics accelerate things that would have happened anyway, but would have taken longer otherwise

schestowitz-TR

yeah, the busiuness model was not t rhere

schestowitz-TR

the capital klept coming

schestowitz-TR

but that river dried up
