schestowitz-TR | not exactly on-topic, I know, but over the years I've heard that a society happy and contented enough | Jun 08 11:17 |
schestowitz-TR | would be be so passive and still look to improve | Jun 08 11:17 |
schestowitz-TR | if you worsen things, they tackle the worst aspects first | Jun 08 11:17 |
schestowitz-TR | so things like "royal" family are not the top priority | Jun 08 11:17 |
Techrights-sec | perhaps, that's a common theme in some science fictio genres | Jun 08 11:18 |
schestowitz-TR | a motif is, what are they looking to distract from? | Jun 08 11:19 |
schestowitz-TR | using selective outrage? | Jun 08 11:19 |
schestowitz-TR | then you focus not on what they tell you but on what you insist is more importanyt | Jun 08 11:19 |
schestowitz-TR | not Apple vs Microsoft | Jun 08 11:19 |
schestowitz-TR | but Freedom versus DRM, back doors etc. | Jun 08 11:19 |
Techrights-sec | not just distract from with small distractions but creation of | Jun 08 11:20 |
Techrights-sec | large intractable crises to prevent addressing class and power | Jun 08 11:20 |
schestowitz-TR | those can be connected | Jun 08 11:20 |
schestowitz-TR | so you connect them | Jun 08 11:21 |
schestowitz-TR | and attribute the crises to those with incentive to create them | Jun 08 11:21 |
Techrights-sec | yes and the crises are increasingly international in nature | Jun 08 11:22 |
schestowitz-TR | the media lost interest in "war on terror" | Jun 08 11:25 |
schestowitz-TR | from what I can gather, the bloodbaths continue | Jun 08 11:25 |
schestowitz-TR | when russia invaded georgia,iirc not long after gw had invaded iraq, the outrage was minimal | Jun 08 11:25 |
schestowitz-TR | prior to war on terror there was "cold war" | Jun 08 11:25 |

schestowitz-TR | but one can manage | Jun 08 11:31 |
schestowitz-TR | btw, got some compliments on our journalism this morning | Jun 08 11:31 |
schestowitz-TR | soon 34,000 blog posts | Jun 08 11:32 |
schestowitz-TR | tuxmachines 18 this friday | Jun 08 11:32 |
schestowitz-TR | tomorrow a meeting that likely decided, tentatively, what happens next | Jun 08 11:32 |
schestowitz-TR | working 2 nights in a row, than 5 days off, would be a massive improvement | Jun 08 11:32 |
schestowitz-TR | we've managed to skirt most price increases using "life hacks" | Jun 08 11:32 |
schestowitz-TR | riannr might start growing mushrooms soon, or try to... apparently leftover coffee is good for that so she has been collecting | Jun 08 11:32 |
schestowitz-TR | it | Jun 08 11:32 |
Techrights-sec | various grains are better, there are kits to work from but also an enormous | Jun 08 11:33 |
Techrights-sec | wealth of informtion about how to culture and grow various species. If you have | Jun 08 11:33 |
Techrights-sec | space, you can probably do it. I recall reading about it at the time when | Jun 08 11:33 |
Techrights-sec | people figured out how to farm shiitake | Jun 08 11:33 |
schestowitz-TR | as prices increase, incentive to at least try that will grow | Jun 08 11:33 |
Techrights-sec | It might be an interesting hobby | Jun 08 11:39 |
Techrights-sec | The trick is being OCD about keeping all parts of the process sterile | Jun 08 11:39 |
schestowitz-TR | rianne learns this from youtube channels these days | Jun 08 11:40 |
schestowitz-TR | (while youtube lasts...) | Jun 08 11:40 |
Techrights-sec | :/ not necessarily an authoritative source, it would depend very highly on | Jun 08 11:40 |
Techrights-sec | who is actually posting and what their background is | Jun 08 11:40 |
schestowitz-TR | change of topic: | Jun 08 11:46 |
schestowitz-TR | I still check almost every day if raspios (d11) has updares for linux-image or raspberrypi-kernel | Jun 08 11:46 |
schestowitz-TR | because I choose to assume something went wrong with the last one, which should be 5.15.x | Jun 08 11:46 |
schestowitz-TR | and so it falls back onto 5.10.x | Jun 08 11:46 |
schestowitz-TR | which is not fully compatible with some of the other "latest" packages | Jun 08 11:46 |
schestowitz-TR | that's an untested theory | Jun 08 11:46 |
schestowitz-TR | but I did see kernel-related warnings when last booting with a "head" attached | Jun 08 11:46 |
schestowitz-TR | and moreover the USB clone works OK | Jun 08 11:46 |
schestowitz-TR | I've made backups, but to other machines and drive, not the full clonbe | Jun 08 11:46 |
schestowitz-TR | because I don't consider anything outside /home to be in a fine state ATM | Jun 08 11:46 |
schestowitz-TR | in the future I will be even more hesitant to run full system updates | Jun 08 11:46 |
Techrights-sec | ack | Jun 08 11:46 |
Techrights-sec | it's very rare that the ydo | Jun 08 11:46 |
schestowitz-TR | I do not have a spare machine to test updates on | Jun 08 11:53 |
schestowitz-TR | and at the moment rianne's pi is a dedicated work machine or vpn workhorse | Jun 08 11:53 |
schestowitz-TR | don't want to tinker with it | Jun 08 11:53 |
schestowitz-TR | it makes life easier | Jun 08 11:53 |
schestowitz-TR | bear in mind the lack of consolidation means that during third we have THREE phones | Jun 08 11:53 |
schestowitz-TR | landline, ip phone, gulag... | Jun 08 11:53 |
schestowitz-TR | that's "progress" for you | Jun 08 11:53 |

schestowitz-TR | I LOLed at the part about them shipping product with chips missing, promising to add them later | Jun 08 12:04 |
schestowitz-TR | I mean, WTF??? How would that actually work? They send someone to your home to "upgrade" with a screwdriver? | Jun 08 12:04 |
schestowitz-TR | I joked about this with rianne | Jun 08 12:04 |
schestowitz-TR | I actually find the whole think amusing rather than sadening | Jun 08 12:04 |

schestowitz-TR | schneier linked to it | Jun 08 13:41 |
schestowitz-TR | which does not imply it is good | Jun 08 13:41 |
schestowitz-TR | he linked to a lot of conde nast rubbish these days | Jun 08 13:41 |
Techrights-sec | ok but I have no backround in deradicalization and can only suggest to stand | Jun 08 13:41 |
Techrights-sec | firm against such bullshit; a problem is that such behavior is often used | Jun 08 13:41 |
Techrights-sec | as an excuse to shoehorn CoCs and cenorship | Jun 08 13:41 |

schestowitz-TR | wait | Jun 08 13:44 |
schestowitz-TR | did bruce "process" these documents? | Jun 08 13:44 |

*DaemonFC has quit (Quit: Leaving) | Jun 08 13:46 | |

schestowitz-TR | and notice how few WBers come out now with material | Jun 08 13:47 |
schestowitz-TR | the other day I think one of the drone strikes WBers was in IRC | Jun 08 13:47 |
schestowitz-TR | but I am not sure | Jun 08 13:47 |
schestowitz-TR | they confided in me | Jun 08 13:47 |
schestowitz-TR | but there is nothing to write about the subject anymore | Jun 08 13:47 |
schestowitz-TR | because the media stopped particpating | Jun 08 13:47 |
schestowitz-TR | as if the drones just stopped existing or turned into kites | Jun 08 13:47 |
Techrights-sec | ack | Jun 08 13:51 |
schestowitz-TR | it is particularly upsetting to me | Jun 08 13:51 |

schestowitz-TR | in 2015 I decided to stop, I probably still have that piece of paper | Jun 08 13:51 |
schestowitz-TR | I discussed with rianne about how to shift focus | Jun 08 13:51 |
schestowitz-TR | the drone strikes thing reached an impasse | Jun 08 13:51 |
schestowitz-TR | as had happened to debates about sw patents | Jun 08 13:51 |
schestowitz-TR | apropos, crystalmath said in irc we don't write much about freesw | Jun 08 13:51 |
schestowitz-TR | and I showed him fsf had also stopped | Jun 08 13:51 |
schestowitz-TR | and he agrees | Jun 08 13:52 |
schestowitz-TR | freesw as a topic is being cast aside | Jun 08 13:52 |
schestowitz-TR | now it's "hey hi" and "web3" and "somethingverse" and all soerts of totally | Jun 08 13:52 |
schestowitz-TR | ludicrous stuff | Jun 08 13:52 |
Techrights-sec | yes I recall | Jun 08 13:52 |
Techrights-sec | if anyone is supposed to talk up Software Freedom it should be the FSF | Jun 08 13:52 |
Techrights-sec | I've also noticed their neglect of responsiblity there | Jun 08 13:52 |
schestowitz-TR | when LF could move in for the kill against Windows (desktop/laptop) it instead sold out | Jun 08 13:53 |
schestowitz-TR | same thing happened to Novell | Jun 08 13:53 |
schestowitz-TR | one week before the Microsoft deal they got a major OEM to BUNDLE PC with SLED 10 | Jun 08 13:53 |
schestowitz-TR | I linked to that in irc a few days ago | Jun 08 13:53 |
