| schestowitz-TR | maybe I should not even label it "by accident" anymore | May 16 07:45 |
| Techrights-sec | np | May 16 07:45 |
| Techrights-sec | though I did not catch the alert for about 30 min | May 16 07:45 |
| Techrights-sec | anyway, the load picked up around 05:20 | May 16 07:48 |
| Techrights-sec | give or take a few minutes | May 16 07:48 |
| schestowitz-TR | usually the load surges on TM, for TM reasons, cannot recall that happening on TR for years | May 16 07:49 |

| schestowitz-TR | in last night's bulletin there was a bug, which I did not try to understand. | May 16 09:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | it could the body of some post about UPC instead of the URL | May 16 09:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | and then expanded a link from that article | May 16 09:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | this is the first time I see such a bug | May 16 09:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | likely some string in there, which it scans for based on some assumption | May 16 09:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | so it's likely very rare | May 16 09:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | if you open the latest bulltin you will see the last in the post links, which later gets expanded and contains kluwer | May 16 09:07 |
| schestowitz-TR | I wrote the code for it in 2020 | May 16 09:07 |
| schestowitz-TR | I reckon the pattern is scans for is sensitive to something rong | May 16 09:07 |
| schestowitz-TR | and either way, I never sw this before | May 16 09:07 |
| schestowitz-TR | so this is likely very rare | May 16 09:07 |
| Techrights-sec | http://techrights.org/txt-archives/techrights-2022-05-15.txt ?? | May 16 09:08 |
| schestowitz-TR | yes, let me see the script........ | May 16 09:11 |
| schestowitz-TR | it scans the rss feed file (~/feed) | May 16 09:11 |
| schestowitz-TR | for lines that say techrights, comments, today's date | May 16 09:11 |
| schestowitz-TR | /me checks manually | May 16 09:11 |
| schestowitz-TR | oh, I see now | May 16 09:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | it matches KLUWER URL#comments | May 16 09:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | I linked to the comments there | May 16 09:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | and same line said Techrights | May 16 09:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | and had the date | May 16 09:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | so it was caught in the net too | May 16 09:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | it's so rare that I wonder if worthy of writing a fix for | May 16 09:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | and then risk introducing new bugs | May 16 09:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | I won't 'fix' it | May 16 09:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | but at least I now know WHY it happened | May 16 09:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | i cannot express enough gratitude for the "Links" tools you've made, they've enabled me to do about 3 batches per day | May 16 09:20 |
| schestowitz-TR | years ago it was at most 1 per day | May 16 09:20 |
| schestowitz-TR | in our company we still wait for 1-on-1 meetings to determine ways forward | May 16 09:20 |
| schestowitz-TR | I will likely go part time | May 16 09:20 |
| schestowitz-TR | which I think isn't just required but also desirable | May 16 09:20 |
| schestowitz-TR | I did consider it in the past, but it was easy money, so did not actively pursue this | May 16 09:20 |
| schestowitz-TR | in fact, one of us working (alone) would cover the spendings | May 16 09:20 |
| schestowitz-TR | even part time | May 16 09:20 |
| schestowitz-TR | and with more sleep I won't look at 52 like a brother of Nilks Torvalds at 80 | May 16 09:20 |

| schestowitz-TR | last night I got more poiners and tips re Nat Friedman | May 16 09:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | but I don't know enough about Stripe | May 16 09:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | so it's a long haul | May 16 09:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | I really ought to press on with that series, but lost motivation after Alex, Nat, and Miguel left | May 16 09:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | it's quite likely I'll just duimp redacted things into IRC where it's too gossipy | May 16 09:23 |

| schestowitz-TR | draft | May 16 14:09 |
| Techrights-sec | in the video Nn-SGblUhi4 they each slammed LP multiple times and didn't get | May 16 14:09 |
| Techrights-sec | much recognition from the audience and LP himself pretended not to notice | May 16 14:09 |
| Techrights-sec | or was too obtuse to notice | May 16 14:09 |
| Techrights-sec | the draft could use a few words summarizing the press release | May 16 14:11 |
| schestowitz-TR | ok, >I will add something | May 16 14:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | text revised a bit | May 16 14:15 |
| Techrights-sec | thanks | May 16 14:15 |
| Techrights-sec | btw the Nn-SGblUhi4 was from 2011, more than a decade ago | May 16 14:15 |
| Techrights-sec | ok checking | May 16 14:15 |
| Techrights-sec | Is the a two or three word gist of the talking points or would that be | May 16 14:16 |
| Techrights-sec | given them too much advertising? | May 16 14:16 |
| schestowitz-TR | the pr is content-free | May 16 14:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | made by empty-headed pr drones | May 16 14:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | word salad | May 16 14:17 |
| Techrights-sec | the description can say that right out perhaps | May 16 14:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | the video has many words in it, but the pr is not the main point though | May 16 14:18 |
| schestowitz-TR | it's just the most recent 'thing' | May 16 14:18 |
| schestowitz-TR | it is partly the response to last week's BS about "security" | May 16 14:19 |
| schestowitz-TR | SBOM etc. | May 16 14:19 |
| schestowitz-TR | reminding people to ignore these shills | May 16 14:19 |

| Techrights-sec | ack | May 16 14:19 |
| schestowitz-TR | I think LF is losing the plot | May 16 14:20 |
| schestowitz-TR | people know it's there not to do anything for "us" but for "them" | May 16 14:20 |
| schestowitz-TR | I don't know what to do about shithub | May 16 14:20 |
| schestowitz-TR | but the video mentions how LF is github outsourcer | May 16 14:21 |
| schestowitz-TR | impoirtant point: | May 16 14:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | REMIND PEOPLE LINUX ~= LF | May 16 14:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | and that we should cut them off the joint | May 16 14:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | that alone would help a lot | May 16 14:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | they keep using the logo, mascot, LT.. | May 16 14:22 |

| schestowitz-TR | but I have more material | May 16 14:26 |
| schestowitz-TR | EPO more urgent atm, imho | May 16 14:26 |
| schestowitz-TR | i don't know how scandalous lunduke is and why | May 16 14:29 |
| schestowitz-TR | I know he got flak over the elementary os thing (something trans, not sure what he said about her) | May 16 14:29 |
| schestowitz-TR | and then the whole covid-19 rantsy-pantsy | May 16 14:29 |
| schestowitz-TR | but aside from that, he eliminated himself from the public eye | May 16 14:29 |
| schestowitz-TR | and if I associate with his rants about LF, that might actually weaken out argument | May 16 14:29 |
| schestowitz-TR | playing the "semite" card against suse a decade after he left seems like a low blow | May 16 14:29 |

| schestowitz-TR | looking hard for eye-catching material | May 16 14:29 |
