| schestowitz-TR | many people here suffer from it | Dec 11 04:15 |

| schestowitz-TR | we have heating in the whole home, but have not turned that on since 2019 | Dec 11 04:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | the berlin thermometer says 10 degrees indoors, sometimes 9 | Dec 11 04:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | the clobbering on TR has stopped | Dec 11 04:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | judging by gemini stats, many people still read old articles, which is very encouraging news! | Dec 11 04:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | yesterday I made offsite backups of TM and TR DBs, plus wiki | Dec 11 04:16 |
| schestowitz-TR | but for the file system I have no recent backups, so I'm at the mercy of the RAID | Dec 11 04:16 |

| techrightssec2 | Be sure to insulate the water pipes adequately! | Dec 11 08:21 |
| techrightssec2 | In today's batch of links, there is a Japanese host name in the Instructionals | Dec 11 08:21 |
| techrightssec2 | section. Can you double-check that the label is correct? It will be a good | Dec 11 08:21 |
| techrightssec2 | additional test of UTF-8 | Dec 11 08:21 |
| techrightssec2 | Yes, it's a good sign that even older articles in Gemini are being read. That | Dec 11 08:22 |
| techrightssec2 | could indicate that there are discussions going on elsewhere | Dec 11 08:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | i don't typically check those things | Dec 11 08:24 |
| schestowitz-TR | but I tried to figure out that clobbering activity from the past 1-2 days | Dec 11 08:24 |
| schestowitz-TR | it has stopped on its own | Dec 11 08:24 |
| schestowitz-TR | if I understand correct, you want me to git pull camelcase, get links, add the howto from an | Dec 11 08:24 |
| schestowitz-TR | 'oddball' dns entry, then check that it picks the right label with perl for resultant Batch | Dec 11 08:24 |
| schestowitz-TR | *correctly | Dec 11 08:25 |
| techrightssec2 | Yes, please, the hostname is already there, it just needs to be checked on your | Dec 11 08:26 |
| techrightssec2 | end that the UTF-8 is ok. It is the third instructional in the set. | Dec 11 08:26 |
| techrightssec2 | It should have a title and host name composed of the same four Japanese | Dec 11 08:26 |
| techrightssec2 | characters but with a .com tacked on for the host name. | Dec 11 08:26 |
| schestowitz-TR | unicode in TLD = good for phishers | Dec 11 08:26 |
| schestowitz-TR | no label was picked for that domain | Dec 11 08:33 |
| techrightssec2 | In some ways, yes, due to similar looking glyphs due to poor typefaces | Dec 11 08:34 |
| techrightssec2 | There should be a label there in the latest pull | Dec 11 08:34 |
| schestowitz-TR | yes, but it did not get picked up | Dec 11 08:35 |

| techrightssec2 | Ok, links-interleave-social-control-media.pl needs work. | Dec 11 09:06 |
| schestowitz-TR | the perl mod uses what's in git | Dec 11 09:06 |
| schestowitz-TR | it pulls and copies before running anything else | Dec 11 09:06 |
| techrightssec2 | Yes it needs work. Checking atm | Dec 11 09:07 |

| techrightssec2 | It'll take some research first | Dec 11 10:21 |
| schestowitz-TR | it'll be interesting when youtube deletes many accounts like twitter | Dec 11 11:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | does | Dec 11 11:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | they're never promisiung hosting for eternity | Dec 11 11:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | and some accounts don't bring money | Dec 11 11:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | it'll be amusing to see the reaction when this happens | Dec 11 11:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | having to host lots of old and dubious accounts | Dec 11 11:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | just a question of when... | Dec 11 11:04 |
| techrightssec2 | Apropos YouTube: | Dec 11 11:17 |
| techrightssec2 | https://youtu.be/TbMpHGs3q7k | Dec 11 11:17 |
| techrightssec2 | https://odysee.com/@eBuzz_Central:7/microsoft-still-hates-linux-open-source:9 | Dec 11 11:17 |

| techrightssec2 | He does recover by addressing m$ GitHub | Dec 11 11:19 |
| schestowitz-TR | it's nto often you find videos like these | Dec 11 11:21 |
| schestowitz-TR | maybe gulag will "take care of that" | Dec 11 11:21 |
| schestowitz-TR | IBM, SUSE, and Caninical don't even target vista 8 users who will soon need to change ON on their PC | Dec 11 11:21 |
| techrightssec2 | It's quite good but for the above problem. Also he /has to/ parrot the | Dec 11 11:23 |
| techrightssec2 | "Windows, too" line and go on about how it is "ok to use Windows" or else | Dec 11 11:23 |
| techrightssec2 | he would lose his channel. That has to be kept in mind. | Dec 11 11:23 |
| techrightssec2 | Too bad he mistook the astroturfer for a legitimate visitor's comment. | Dec 11 11:23 |
| schestowitz-TR | like john has to parrot some BS from gulag | Dec 11 12:33 |
| schestowitz-TR | even if his videos are factual | Dec 11 12:33 |
| schestowitz-TR | more than WHO | Dec 11 12:33 |
| schestowitz-TR | anyway, gulag did ban windows, at least partially, about a decade back | Dec 11 12:33 |
| schestowitz-TR | it was demeed an unacceptable risk after a breach or several | Dec 11 12:33 |
| techrightssec2 | Longer ago than that but they never completed the ban and instead started | Dec 11 12:35 |
| techrightssec2 | hiring in micosofter until the workplace had become so contaminated with its | Dec 11 12:35 |
| techrightssec2 | toxicity that the problems made international news. Sadly not a single | Dec 11 12:35 |
| techrightssec2 | article ever connected the dots. Microsofters might leave the payroll but | Dec 11 12:35 |
| techrightssec2 | they never really leave the company and bring its very toxic culture with then | Dec 11 12:35 |
| techrightssec2 | ^them | Dec 11 12:35 |
| techrightssec2 | into any new workplaces they might enter. | Dec 11 12:35 |
| mjg59_ | Google never prevented the use of Windows internaly | Dec 11 12:37 |
| techrightssec2 | mistakng astroturfers for legitimate commenters ... | Dec 11 12:37 |
| techrightssec2 | ^ topic ? | Dec 11 12:37 |
| schestowitz-TR | thanks, I'm not sure I have much to say about that tbh | Dec 11 12:45 |
| schestowitz-TR | just cleaned the feeds | Dec 11 12:45 |
| schestowitz-TR | worked a bit on drafts today and did other chores | Dec 11 12:45 |
| schestowitz-TR | been very productive | Dec 11 12:45 |
| schestowitz-TR | preparatory work | Dec 11 12:46 |
| techrightssec2 | ack | Dec 11 12:46 |
| schestowitz-TR | concern trolling is often mentioned in passing in videois that respond to FUD | Dec 11 12:47 |
| schestowitz-TR | and in articles too | Dec 11 12:47 |
| schestowitz-TR | it's important to call them out | Dec 11 12:47 |
| schestowitz-TR | no need to even respond to concern trolls | Dec 11 12:47 |
| schestowitz-TR | btw, zemlin has joined the ranks of concern trolls | Dec 11 12:47 |
| techrightssec2 | yep | Dec 11 12:47 |
| techrightssec2 | However, many /still/ do not know what it is nor that it is used so exetensively | Dec 11 12:47 |
| schestowitz-TR | concern-trolling was used a lot against wikileaks | Dec 11 12:48 |
| schestowitz-TR | time-wasting at the very least | Dec 11 12:48 |
| schestowitz-TR | and lowering morale | Dec 11 12:48 |
| schestowitz-TR | it sank upon me today that epo PR has no "spunk" anymore | Dec 11 13:03 |
| schestowitz-TR | the staff jokes about all the femmewashing | Dec 11 13:03 |
| schestowitz-TR | pointing out with facts that it's just trolling disguised as "feminism" | Dec 11 13:03 |
| schestowitz-TR | so when it comes to the swpats battle in europe we do super-well | Dec 11 13:03 |
| schestowitz-TR | the upc scandals trickle into some major media | Dec 11 13:03 |
| schestowitz-TR | and it's delayed again | Dec 11 13:03 |
| schestowitz-TR | and again | Dec 11 13:03 |
| schestowitz-TR | and again | Dec 11 13:03 |
| schestowitz-TR | so it shows activism does work | Dec 11 13:03 |
| schestowitz-TR | btw, rms is styill giving talk | Dec 11 13:03 |
| schestowitz-TR | and still shrap in the head | Dec 11 13:03 |
| schestowitz-TR | based on what I saw of him this month | Dec 11 13:03 |
| schestowitz-TR | we need to hawk any news about upcomign msft layoffs | Dec 11 13:03 |
| schestowitz-TR | I am pretty certain they make the lists right now | Dec 11 13:03 |
| schestowitz-TR | ahead of xmas | Dec 11 13:03 |
| schestowitz-TR | but won't announce it just before holidays | Dec 11 13:03 |
| techrightssec2 | ack | Dec 11 13:10 |
| schestowitz-TR | important thing is: | Dec 11 13:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | 1) don't be trolled | Dec 11 13:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | 2) remember the goal (rms) | Dec 11 13:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | 3) platform and finances need to be secured | Dec 11 13:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | 4) no infighting (common way to destroy orgs, communities... studying differences, then weaponising them) | Dec 11 13:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | a decade of hard work secured (3) for at least a decade ahead | Dec 11 13:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | (4) seems to have been attempted, but did not succeed | Dec 11 13:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | it will be attempted again (reminds me of john at eff) | Dec 11 13:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | the living one | Dec 11 13:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | toad.com seems to be offline from here | Dec 11 13:14 |
| techrightssec2 | ack | Dec 11 13:24 |
| schestowitz-TR | Microsoft Windows TCO https://www.helpnetsecurity.com/2022/12/06/rackspace-ransomware/ | Dec 11 13:26 |
| -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-www.helpnetsecurity.com | Rackspace Hosted Exchange outage was caused by ransomware - Help Net Security | Dec 11 13:26 | |
| schestowitz-TR | rackspace was already struggling | Dec 11 13:27 |
| schestowitz-TR | now this | Dec 11 13:27 |
| psydruid | Maybe they can peacefully go out of business now | Dec 11 13:37 |
| schestowitz-TR | do you know them well? | Dec 11 13:45 |
| techrightssec2 | ack | Dec 11 13:55 |
| psydruid | A few friends of mine worked there | Dec 11 13:55 |
| schestowitz-TR | they got rid of many | Dec 11 13:55 |
| schestowitz-TR | lost many clients | Dec 11 13:55 |
| psydruid | Last time I talked to someone at Google Cloud Summit that I was invited to they were unsurprisingly shilling cloud environments and signalling that they were winding down their hosting efforts | Dec 11 13:57 |
| psydruid | If that is the case, why do you need them as a middleman anymore? | Dec 11 13:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | it's worse | Dec 11 14:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | we had clients that used rackspace | Dec 11 14:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | rackspace owns the servers | Dec 11 14:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | and has its own support team | Dec 11 14:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | so we were there to manage the servers | Dec 11 14:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | but, failing that, would escalate to rackspace | Dec 11 14:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | of course our role was somewhat obsolete | Dec 11 14:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | as the client can go directly to racksp[ace | Dec 11 14:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | clown computing = webhosts, sans the "web" sometimes | Dec 11 14:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | share hosting -> tenanted accounts | Dec 11 14:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | same thing, semantic difference | Dec 11 14:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | or technical abstraction level | Dec 11 14:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | like GUI for "clown" | Dec 11 14:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | instead of cpanel or cli classic | Dec 11 14:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | now I can talk about all this | Dec 11 14:06 |
| schestowitz-TR | because I resigned this month | Dec 11 14:06 |
