| Techrightssec | ack | Nov 14 04:40 |
| schestowitz-TR | can the like other-links for 11-14 be disregarded for the time being? | Nov 14 04:41 |
| Techrightssec | Yes, the file is being edited as an experiment in the work flow. | Nov 14 04:43 |
| Techrightssec | I think it will be better to do editing off of tr-new and then upload | Nov 14 04:44 |
| Techrightssec | as before. So tomorrow's will behave as more normal. But hopefully | Nov 14 04:44 |
| Techrightssec | the automated links and such can be done on tr-new | Nov 14 04:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | I think I will need to change my notifer for when the files are readt | Nov 14 05:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | *ready | Nov 14 05:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | atm it looks for latest other-links | Nov 14 05:15 |

| Techrightssec | In an interview, Mikko Hyppönen indicated that he thinks that the solution to | Nov 14 05:33 |
| Techrightssec | ending the blaming the victim which m$ does is to remove the ability for | Nov 14 05:33 |
| Techrightssec | the victim to modify his or her system and that only vendors should be in | Nov 14 05:33 |
| Techrightssec | full control of the systems. | Nov 14 05:33 |
| schestowitz-TR | ok, got the latest. should other links be ignored until later today? | Nov 14 05:41 |
| schestowitz-TR | or did you refer to the one with ~ at the end? | Nov 14 05:41 |
| Techrightssec | other links is good too | Nov 14 05:59 |
| Techrightssec | the ~ files should be ignored | Nov 14 05:59 |

| schestowitz-TR | good for the next letter-ripping video, I guess | Nov 14 13:48 |
| schestowitz-TR | just a question of when | Nov 14 13:48 |

| Techrightssec | appliance computing. The lack of discussion about 32-bit time and whining | Nov 14 13:56 |
| Techrightssec | at the same time about locking out end users show that the priority is not | Nov 14 13:56 |
| Techrightssec | security and merely a ddistraction from their attacks on general-purpose | Nov 14 13:56 |

| schestowitz-TR | yes, that might be a good topic | Nov 14 14:00 |
| schestowitz-TR | one thing I don't fully understand is, | Nov 14 14:00 |
| schestowitz-TR | how does unix time system impact security? | Nov 14 14:00 |
| schestowitz-TR | btw, spamnil still doing clickfraud, but with 11 videos in 21 days it's clear he's going nowhere and | Nov 14 14:00 |
| schestowitz-TR | he knows it | Nov 14 14:00 |
| schestowitz-TR | still need to understand how 32-bit systemd are a secyurity rather than invalidity/end of life issue | Nov 14 14:00 |
| Techrightssec | The systems generally cannot be updated in the firmware, the whole unit must | Nov 14 14:03 |
| Techrightssec | be replaced. The problem is that devices being deployed even today are | Nov 14 14:03 |
| Techrightssec | still running 32-bit time. | Nov 14 14:03 |
| schestowitz-TR | with today's appalling quality of engineering, I doubt many will outlast 16 yrs | Nov 14 14:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | apropos, many "smart" systems depend on a clock to operate | Nov 14 14:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | where no clocks should be needed at all!! | Nov 14 14:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | imagine microwaves refusing to hear up because they got cracked | Nov 14 14:16 |
| schestowitz-TR | smoker detectors not buzzing because they have not yet been "configured" | Nov 14 14:16 |
| schestowitz-TR | or some washing machine failing due to having wrong time (not runtime but clock) | Nov 14 14:16 |

| -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-» mental disorder is up +13% globally +41% up in Germany in the last 10 years – the github rant -> good technology – makes efficient – but does not (automatically) make good culture or good people | dwaves.de | Nov 14 14:17 | |
| schestowitz-TR | german, we used to chat, weak english, but the ideas are spot on | Nov 14 14:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | published moments ago | Nov 14 14:17 |
| Techrightssec | Or dishwashers, or laundry machines, or refirgerators, or ... cars | Nov 14 14:18 |
| schestowitz-TR | cars are becoming exponentially more expensive to "repair" (you cannot mess with a scre driver in silicon) | Nov 14 14:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | and of course to purchase too | Nov 14 14:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | as for kettles, for now we just use the hob with a large pot instead because it's reliable | Nov 14 14:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | this past weekend we saw some kettles at the shop and I joked about how long they last for | Nov 14 14:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | the 'unbranded' (or "poorly" branded) ones barely stand a chace of aurviving a year | Nov 14 14:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | the rest maybe enough to get past the warranty day | Nov 14 14:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | I don't want a pile of half a dozen "good loocking but not working) kettle every decade | Nov 14 14:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | *kettles | Nov 14 14:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | electric showers can be similarly awful | Nov 14 14:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | plasticware | Nov 14 14:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | and not easy to replace, you'd need an electrician (almost as expensive as the plasticware) to safely | Nov 14 14:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | dismount and install "the next one" | Nov 14 14:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | so over the past 1-2 decades I find myself protesting a lot about tech that actually left the customer | Nov 14 14:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | worse off, aside from the gimmicks | Nov 14 14:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | sometimes I listen to football on FM radio (1990s) because going to a Web site takes longer | Nov 14 14:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | JS mess | Nov 14 14:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | and is more noise than signal | Nov 14 14:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | in fact, I used to have a command line program for scores, but that keeps breaking upstream and takes | Nov 14 14:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | ages to work around (for a few more months before next breakage) | Nov 14 14:26 |
| schestowitz-TR | "Drive thru" mentality = the biggest problem with my food is that I need to get my fat arse off the seat | Nov 14 14:26 |
| schestowitz-TR | "Smart things" = if only I could connect this thing to the Net, life would improve | Nov 14 14:26 |
| Techrightssec | The computers built into the car's local network appear mostly a means to | Nov 14 14:26 |
| Techrightssec | increase costs and lock out independent repair shops and force buyers into | Nov 14 14:26 |
| Techrightssec | maintenance subscriptions at the dealer. | Nov 14 14:26 |
| Techrightssec | I think we have a studdy on the waste of space that javascript causes... | Nov 14 14:26 |
| schestowitz-TR | andry dubbed this digital veganism | Nov 14 14:28 |
| schestowitz-TR | I think the association with morality (animals) misses the mark a bit | Nov 14 14:28 |
| schestowitz-TR | vegans get ridiculed for all sorts of things | Nov 14 14:28 |
| schestowitz-TR | but avoiding shitware is about practical benefits, too | Nov 14 14:28 |
| schestowitz-TR | at the pet shop yesterday we saw pig ears for sale (in the dog section) | Nov 14 14:28 |
| schestowitz-TR | that upset rianne, but dogs eat meat | Nov 14 14:28 |
| schestowitz-TR | --- | Nov 14 14:33 |
| schestowitz-TR | free software is about ethics of hoarding, sharing, and control over people (facilitated by the former two) | Nov 14 14:33 |
| schestowitz-TR | but the issue we speak of here are also about pragmatism and economics | Nov 14 14:33 |
| schestowitz-TR | I think for TR to analyse and put forth helpful vocabulary would be a contribution | Nov 14 14:33 |
| schestowitz-TR | andy's "digital vegan" is a metaphor | Nov 14 14:33 |
| schestowitz-TR | gemini tackles many issues at once, inc. energy consumption (lots more facets) | Nov 14 14:33 |
| schestowitz-TR | i hope that having more free time will let me 1) think and 2) write properly on these issues | Nov 14 14:33 |
| schestowitz-TR | do you still maintain that youtube-dl-based script for cutting and featching videos from gulagtube? | Nov 14 14:33 |
| schestowitz-TR | i know the swiss army knife was attacked with help from friedman/microsoft | Nov 14 14:33 |
| schestowitz-TR | but for the new TR it would help if I could make shortcuts and retrieve/process/clip vidoes | Nov 14 14:33 |
| schestowitz-TR | directly on the server | Nov 14 14:33 |
| Techrightssec | no that script has not been maintained or worth the effort due to | Nov 14 14:41 |
| Techrightssec | various problems with youtube | Nov 14 14:41 |
| Techrightssec | best to try other tools to download and then once the file is stored locally | Nov 14 14:41 |
| Techrightssec | hit it with ffmpeg | Nov 14 14:41 |
| Techrightssec | invidious might be better in that regard | Nov 14 14:41 |
| schestowitz-TR | atm I use some instances of invidious, retreieve the mp4 (it's the only option for audio+vide) | Nov 14 14:41 |
| schestowitz-TR | than ffmpeg with time range | Nov 14 14:41 |
| schestowitz-TR | then upload via wordpress or kio (for large files) | Nov 14 14:41 |
| schestowitz-TR | the new tr can handle many short posts like tm does | Nov 14 14:41 |
| schestowitz-TR | then, being able to raise issues rapidly, with static pages and maybe video clips | Nov 14 14:41 |
| schestowitz-TR | would imho be not just invaluable in the pace sense | Nov 14 14:41 |
| schestowitz-TR | but also more "fun" | Nov 14 14:41 |
| schestowitz-TR | with wordpress I spent some time messing about with knobs such as categories | Nov 14 14:41 |
| schestowitz-TR | I'm glad rianne and I no longer need to enter/select/multiselect categories | Nov 14 14:41 |
| schestowitz-TR | it speeds things up | Nov 14 14:41 |
| schestowitz-TR | but having some archibg and search for that site might be useful, as a future feature so to speak | Nov 14 14:41 |
| schestowitz-TR | I made a full backup of /var/www/t* last night and copied the tar.gz to "bubi" | Nov 14 14:42 |
| schestowitz-TR | to wit: what hurts microsoft et al the most if not new exposes or rapid posts | Nov 14 14:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | but a site that stays online decade after decade | Nov 14 14:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | so even "old" scandsls never go undocumented and cannot be denied in the absence of evidnece | Nov 14 14:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | tuxmachines reviews go a llllooooonnnggg way back | Nov 14 14:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | they show that even in 2005/6 the "desktop" was good enough compared to XP | Nov 14 14:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | youtube will collapse after FB and Twitter | Nov 14 14:44 |
