| Techrights-sec | Yes, thanks | Sep 13 08:31 |
| Techrights-sec | It /should/ be ok, but a second set of eyes is essential. | Sep 13 08:31 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | I wanted to ask, | Sep 13 08:32 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | [08:29] <techrights-news> Notice how SJVN and OIN refuse or fail to speak about software patents as the issue, they blame "trolls". IBM, Microsoft, LF etc. are not against software patents; watch who they collect bribes from! | Sep 13 08:32 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | is this something to cover in article/video? | Sep 13 08:33 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | SJVN is swpats shill | Sep 13 08:33 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | I thought I'd just ignore him | Sep 13 08:33 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | he and zdnet pushing the oin line | Sep 13 08:33 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | they are in another universe | Sep 13 08:33 |
| Techrights-sec | I think so, since they are consciously choosing to promote software patents | Sep 13 08:33 |
| Techrights-sec | through selective omission. That implies misdirection if not downright | Sep 13 08:33 |
| Techrights-sec | dishonesty. | Sep 13 08:33 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | let's wait a day and see if there are follow-ups | Sep 13 08:34 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | or a better angle from which to tackle this | Sep 13 08:34 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | they cancel people who actually talk about the real issue | Sep 13 08:34 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | and real solutions to the issues | Sep 13 08:34 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | they want to pretend ICBM will be our ally | Sep 13 08:34 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | because... money | Sep 13 08:34 |
| *DaemonFC has quit (Quit: ChatZilla 0.13 [SeaMonkey 2.53.13/20220708150114]) | Sep 13 08:35 | |
| Techrights-sec | Yes, which further emphasizes their active, conscious participation in | Sep 13 08:35 |
| Techrights-sec | the promotion of software patents against the general backdrop of software | Sep 13 08:35 |
| Techrights-sec | freedom. (It goes without saying that software patents are not a matter | Sep 13 08:35 |
| Techrights-sec | for software developers or programmers, but an active harm against actual | Sep 13 08:35 |
| Techrights-sec | end-users.) | Sep 13 08:35 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | draft | Sep 13 08:41 |
| Techrights-sec | ack | Sep 13 08:44 |
| Techrights-sec | More details on what is wrong with the handling of the certificates is needed. | Sep 13 08:44 |
| Techrights-sec | The one link with the transcript provides that information but a few words or a | Sep 13 08:44 |
| Techrights-sec | couple of lines of summary would help greatly. | Sep 13 08:44 |
| Techrights-sec | Hint: CAs | Sep 13 08:44 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | sometimes I make errors | Sep 13 08:49 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | if judged not to be too huge, I don't try to undo | Sep 13 08:49 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | because last time I tried it caused chaos on my home network | Sep 13 08:49 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | due to the log giles being gigabyes in size | Sep 13 08:49 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | *files | Sep 13 08:49 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | dasya ago, to sanitise away binary crap from the unplanned shutdown, I had to stop several services first | Sep 13 08:49 |
| Techrights-sec | ack | Sep 13 08:54 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | btw, I spent a lot of time recipe hunting | Sep 13 09:01 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | I realise I really suck at cooking | Sep 13 09:01 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | but then again we live in a generation like that | Sep 13 09:01 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | imagine getting "that was tasty" instead of "you got a like" | Sep 13 09:01 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | I remember when mothers cooked | Sep 13 09:01 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | now the mothers are like kids | Sep 13 09:01 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | with their "smart" phones and selfies | Sep 13 09:01 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | I found no obvious errors in the capsule | Sep 13 09:01 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | --- | Sep 13 09:03 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | I think the media now teaches both men and womewn that cooking is a sign of weakeness | Sep 13 09:03 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | and they should instead be consumeers of processed foods with preservatives | Sep 13 09:03 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | somer of which can contribute to trumour cell | Sep 13 09:03 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | *tumour | Sep 13 09:03 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | we spoke about it yesterday in relation to an aunt | Sep 13 09:03 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | -- | Sep 13 09:08 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | I've just made copy of the irc lines re sjvn | Sep 13 09:08 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | sometimes instead of scripting I just think about the issues for a while | Sep 13 09:08 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | like in the kitchen | Sep 13 09:08 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | and then the arguments come out a little better | Sep 13 09:08 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | after thinking them over | Sep 13 09:08 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | maybe more links will become available | Sep 13 09:08 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | I have not kept track of patent news in a while and not much is missed | Sep 13 09:08 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | as journalism there too is stagnant or non-existent | Sep 13 09:08 |
| Techrights-sec | Checking links | Sep 13 09:09 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | road-ahead sign: irc a bit noisy this week, I've decided to look away a little more | Sep 13 09:13 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | until it resettles | Sep 13 09:13 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | it's often like this when matey becomes active and people respond | Sep 13 09:13 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | I am improving the layout here and writing some tiny tools | Sep 13 09:13 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | when the new setup is in place we can produce more suitably for the 2023 era | Sep 13 09:13 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | regarding trend ocean, I 'll monitor his "content" for a week maybe | Sep 13 09:13 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | perhaps we can then decide what to do | Sep 13 09:13 |
| Techrights-sec | Notice the tabloids ridicule Andrew but avoid mentioning why | Sep 13 09:13 |
| Techrights-sec | ack | Sep 13 09:13 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | tabloids are always full of it | Sep 13 09:16 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | I just ignore them | Sep 13 09:16 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | sometimes I look at the covers for a laugh when rianne pays for food and I wait around | Sep 13 09:16 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | all in all, the culture here is still good; the target audience of tabloids is typically | Sep 13 09:16 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | the 'lower' class, to put it politely | Sep 13 09:16 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | being in the underclass somewhere like iceland might be no better than being among the elites in macao or lagos or some other "rich island" | Sep 13 09:22 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | the uk caused suffering inwards and outwards and used booze inwards (opium outwards) to soften ... looking for another words here ... the masses | Sep 13 09:22 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | class here is still a thing, but only if you actively socialise. | Sep 13 09:22 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | lull, captivate, hyponotiuse, paralyse... still forgot the word I had in mind... | Sep 13 09:22 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | going for coffee, the word might come back if i don't stare at a monitor | Sep 13 09:23 |
| Techrights-sec | pacify? | Sep 13 09:30 |
| Techrights-sec | The global smartphone market looks like the new Opium Wars | Sep 13 09:30 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | yes! | Sep 13 09:35 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | or neutralise, hypnotise, zombify | Sep 13 09:35 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | the last is apt a term for "smart" phone | Sep 13 09:35 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | I didn't know about opium wars until 10 years ago | Sep 13 09:35 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | many orgs that used to fight for civil rights become corporate pacifiers | Sep 13 09:35 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | like oin | Sep 13 09:35 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | worse, | Sep 13 09:35 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | a) opium did not report back on the subject | Sep 13 09:35 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | b) opium needs cultivating, farming, transporting | Sep 13 09:35 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | c) the age for opium is typically higher | Sep 13 09:35 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | ... | Sep 13 09:35 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | people no longer garden for food nor can they cook anything | Sep 13 09:35 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | making them a lot more dependent on the "supply chain" | Sep 13 09:35 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | as noteed earlier | Sep 13 09:35 |
| Techrights-sec | opiumwars++ | Sep 13 09:36 |
| Techrights-sec | It does share the characteristics of pacification and neutralization, however. | Sep 13 09:36 |
| Techrights-sec | Yes, it hits them before their teens. See some of the health articles about | Sep 13 09:36 |
| Techrights-sec | the severe, permanent damage that does, not to mention what it does to the | Sep 13 09:36 |
| Techrights-sec | removing the ability to eventually be ready for participation in society. | Sep 13 09:36 |
| Techrights-sec | In some areas, I have heard, that the new houses and apartments, and renovated | Sep 13 09:36 |
| Techrights-sec | ones, are basically made without kitchens. | Sep 13 09:36 |
| *starstreak has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) | Sep 13 09:38 | |
| schestowitz-TR2 | yes, people now pay rent the same as before but for low-quality aparthotel or small hotel room | Sep 13 09:38 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | not studio per se | Sep 13 09:38 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | but just a fridge | Sep 13 09:38 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | no kitchen | Sep 13 09:38 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | it has a "dining area" (read: table) | Sep 13 09:38 |
| Techrights-sec | The weird ones are the sites where the kitchens and kitchenettes are removed | Sep 13 09:43 |
| Techrights-sec | during "renovation" | Sep 13 09:43 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | I'm sure they make up for it with referctories;-) | Sep 13 09:46 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | cooking takes a loit of time | Sep 13 09:46 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | but it's the different between dying young or old | Sep 13 09:46 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | and spending 200-300 ppm or just 50-50 | Sep 13 09:46 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | *150 | Sep 13 09:46 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | working harder kills, too | Sep 13 09:46 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | more financial demands => shorter life | Sep 13 09:46 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | "PLEASE INSERT COINS" | Sep 13 09:46 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | regarding the link you sent about self-hosting email | Sep 13 09:54 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | there is a middle ground | Sep 13 09:54 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | a shared account with webhost outside the home | Sep 13 09:54 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | that lets you manage everything from within your domain | Sep 13 09:54 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | on a shared IP adress | Sep 13 09:54 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | they handle the address reputation | Sep 13 09:54 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | and even inform you if there is a scatterback | Sep 13 09:54 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | email is not encrypted | Sep 13 09:54 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | very few people will be able to send AND receive encrypted mail from you | Sep 13 09:54 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | so the argument about privacy hardly holds | Sep 13 09:54 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | at work, a colleague bragged email was on encrypted file system | Sep 13 09:54 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | I reminded him we outsourced to AWS | Sep 13 09:54 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | and never encrypt email even though 12 years ago I did try to suggest it | Sep 13 09:54 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | he bought a $1,000 steel door | Sep 13 09:54 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | but left the window wide open | Sep 13 09:54 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | === | Sep 13 10:00 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | there is a solution to all this: avoid email, whenever possible. or be passive about them. I think I now average 2 outgoing emails per day | Sep 13 10:00 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | the temptation is further reduce (or the incentive) when you only open it twice a day and only go through unknown sources or origins once a week or less | Sep 13 10:00 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | voice chat is a tricky one but avoiding personal topics makes sense, as not everything said out aloud is recorded (knowingly or unknowingly) or typed down | Sep 13 10:00 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | the coundaries are blurred by those listening devices, which are now advertsed using gimmicks like "can recognise voice/accent/language" | Sep 13 10:00 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | which means scanning of the audio content, turning it into text, as a 'feature'... ti "improve your experience" | Sep 13 10:00 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | to the media this should all be "common ssnse", but it seldom warns people. regarding phonecalls, one should assume that what's feasible is done at all | Sep 13 10:12 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | times, but then talks over the phone would get dry and platonic, even business calls. they want people to become "open books" | Sep 13 10:13 |
| Techrights-sec | Amazon, Google, and Apple have a multitude of "smart", always-on microphones | Sep 13 10:16 |
| Techrights-sec | reporting back to HQ 24/7 from many people's homes and most people's pockets. | Sep 13 10:16 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | don't forget "meta" ;-) | Sep 13 10:17 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | microsoft tried also, but it's a distant 6th or 10th... | Sep 13 10:17 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | linkedin is failing (more layoffs) | Sep 13 10:18 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | what were they thinking? | Sep 13 10:18 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | I wanted to say something else about eavesdropping but forgot. it was not so important anyway. | Sep 13 10:18 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | the "smart" car hype rapidly gets descriobed as a fad in the media | Sep 13 10:18 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | inc. EVs | Sep 13 10:18 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | esp. now with energy shortages | Sep 13 10:18 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | if you can teach even a dozen people something related to tech | Sep 13 10:20 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | and those (each) teach another dozen the same, then the impact is there | Sep 13 10:20 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | I wish FSF wrote more articles | Sep 13 10:20 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | their advocacy has been muted and "meetings" in IRC have very limited reach | Sep 13 10:20 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | they also lost a lot of audience, which did not migrate frdom ffeenode to cancelnode | Sep 13 10:20 |
| Techrights-sec | Their move to "cancel node" was unwise, especially since there was a prime | Sep 13 10:31 |
| Techrights-sec | opportunity to showcase the benefits of self-hosting. | Sep 13 10:31 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | not to sound pushy or anything, | Sep 13 10:35 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | is the image uploader considered ready for production given its successful use for a whole, sans animated gifs? | Sep 13 10:35 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | in zfs quotes are needed or removal or trailing "?crap" | Sep 13 10:35 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | and then again, we thought about integrating it into add | Sep 13 10:35 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | and having just changed that process for search, maybe better to first let that new change settle for a few days before introducing another change | Sep 13 10:35 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | rianne is posting pages atm | Sep 13 10:35 |
| Techrights-sec | It is just about ready, as long as animated GIFs are avoided. | Sep 13 10:40 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | I will add an aliad for rianne and marius later | Sep 13 10:41 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | marius later, rianne now | Sep 13 10:41 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | to see if she copes ok | Sep 13 10:41 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | I call it 'upload' | Sep 13 10:41 |

| schestowitz-TR2 | like most kids I accidentally found pr0n | Sep 13 12:11 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | several times | Sep 13 12:11 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | and it was always a negative experience | Sep 13 12:11 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | I don't think NPR should find a way to weasel its way out of it | Sep 13 12:11 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | they just don't give a shit about kids | Sep 13 12:11 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | [11:58] <techrights-news> Normal people: folks who say toddlers should be told about sex are sick perverts. NPR: Bill Gates pays us. We should give a platform to those "sick perverts". | Sep 13 12:11 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | Microsoft Peters saaid to parents he would "teach" their kids | Sep 13 12:12 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | aged about 9 | Sep 13 12:12 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | and he did | Sep 13 12:12 |
| Techrights-sec | :( :( | Sep 13 12:34 |
| Techrights-sec | no wonder the Gates are involved | Sep 13 12:34 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | in the court of public opinion they have lost already or are actively losing | Sep 13 12:35 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | testing the water to see if a comeback does more harm than "good" | Sep 13 12:35 |
