| schestowitz | Regarding COVID-19, responses will improve over time, e.g. pills and stuff. My mom got it twice already, so just "getting it" doesn't mean jack. It harms the body each time. Minimising the number of infections until we can combat this thing like we do the flu... probably worthwhile if one can work from home. | May 17 14:59 |

| schestowitz | I'm very sceptical when I see the term web3, but I will look past the "labels" and pay attention to the substance. | May 17 15:01 |
| Techrights-sec | ok I suppose it will be ok to resume checking The Register again for a while_ | May 17 15:01 |
| Techrights-sec | ? | May 17 15:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | probably not worth is unless you pass by it in searches, which is what happens to me as they do | May 17 15:02 |
| schestowitz-TR | very dirty SEO thhat plasters their site's articles all over unrelated searches ("related" links | May 17 15:02 |
| schestowitz-TR | are scanned by Gulag as "body") | May 17 15:02 |
| Techrights-sec | ok I stumble across it sometimes but have previously ignored it when that | May 17 15:04 |
| Techrights-sec | happens; I'll give it a second look for now | May 17 15:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | 3 days ago I wanted to say that they cover microsoft malware a LOT | May 17 15:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | and quite a few unflattering things about Microsoft | May 17 15:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | the Microsoft fluff still happens, but not as often this year | May 17 15:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | also, for Microsoft malware you need to read between the lines to demonstrate that | May 17 15:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | this is in fact windows | May 17 15:05 |
| Techrights-sec | Sam is still allowed to do that but most sites and authors treat malware | May 17 15:06 |
| Techrights-sec | as an act of God rather than the natural fallout from M$ bad design | May 17 15:06 |
| schestowitz-TR | we need to blast them for blaming the victims and attackers | May 17 15:07 |
| schestowitz-TR | while the hole makers and those transmitting the malware (NPM/GitHub/Microsoft) | May 17 15:07 |
| schestowitz-TR | are seen as merely victims | May 17 15:07 |
| Techrights-sec | yes that has been a long term practice by microsofters: blame the victim | May 17 15:08 |
| Techrights-sec | it has become so widespread and generaly accepted to do so, such that | May 17 15:08 |
| Techrights-sec | even mozilla has started to behave that way | May 17 15:09 |
| schestowitz-TR | The Web cancels fast | May 17 15:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | Forgots fast | May 17 15:50 |

| schestowitz-TR | inc. any syllabus | May 17 15:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | so I made local copies of many things over the years | May 17 15:50 |

| schestowitz-TR | I don't even know the URL of the norsoc site anymore | May 17 15:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | so it would be hard to check the Wayback Machine | May 17 15:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | maybe very old backups have it in the bookmarks somewhere | May 17 15:50 |
| Techrights-sec | ack | May 17 15:51 |
| Techrights-sec | It's hard to make copies of everyting "just in case" That's what libraries and | May 17 15:51 |
| Techrights-sec | archives used to do but don't any more | May 17 15:51 |
| Techrights-sec | One library in Canada was supposed to keep a copy of a reference specification | May 17 15:51 |
| Techrights-sec | of the final draft of a specific standard and got money to do so. Then | May 17 15:51 |
| Techrights-sec | a few years later deleted the etirety of the last remaining copy i nthe world | May 17 15:51 |
| Techrights-sec | from their web site to save a few kilobytes becase it "was not accessed so often: | May 17 15:51 |
| Techrights-sec | " | May 17 15:52 |
| Techrights-sec | It cost them extra work to delete it, it cost them nothing to keep it unmolested | May 17 15:52 |
| Techrights-sec | and furthermore they had already accepted the money to keep the copy on record | May 17 15:52 |
| Techrights-sec | for more than just a few months | May 17 15:52 |
| schestowitz-TR | not everyone thinks like you | May 17 15:52 |

| schestowitz-TR | to get some update on toinights Liverpool FC game | May 17 16:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | I nowadays go to the official sites of the team | May 17 16:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | they usually have fine ways to display what's going on | May 17 16:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | but most people do not value official sources | May 17 16:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | and the teams two emphasise the outsourcing | May 17 16:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | like the official manchester city fc site would show a TWEET | May 17 16:57 |

| schestowitz-TR | as if they MUST do this via Twitter | May 17 16:57 |

| Techrights-sec | and high maintenance; too many people build things out until the verge of | May 17 17:09 |
| Techrights-sec | collapse and then hover at the brink; Gemini is a refreshing change from | May 17 17:09 |
| Techrights-sec | that; | May 17 17:09 |
| schestowitz-TR | gemini does not hae to be "ugly" either | May 17 17:12 |
| schestowitz-TR | client side, DE side etc. you can enhance the appearance | May 17 17:12 |
| schestowitz-TR | and make it suit your own prefs | May 17 17:12 |
| schestowitz-TR | but the upside is, plain text files, low b/w (hence cost) | May 17 17:12 |
| schestowitz-TR | though I think "tying" together the space would help | May 17 17:12 |
| schestowitz-TR | hence I try to gradually make a sort of "directory" | May 17 17:12 |
| schestowitz-TR | doing a search engine is hard and expensive | May 17 17:12 |
| schestowitz-TR | directories are cheap | May 17 17:12 |
| schestowitz-TR | like dmoz before people said "just gulag it!" | May 17 17:12 |
| schestowitz-TR | these ~30 lemons we bought may help us lose weight, they're good appetite suppressors | May 17 17:24 |
| schestowitz-TR | either | May 17 17:24 |
| schestowitz-TR | with tea of just water. We plan another journey tomorrow if the weather is as OK as forecasted | May 17 17:24 |
| schestowitz-TR | I'm "low" on topiscs to cover at the moment, but not short on time, this morning I finished a series of 4 shifts | May 17 17:24 |
| Techrights-sec | ack | May 17 17:26 |
| schestowitz-TR | I did trawl invidious for interesting videos | May 17 17:26 |
| schestowitz-TR | but it's very time-consuming with low roi | May 17 17:27 |
| Techrights-sec | videos are mostly a waste of time unless there is a specific post referencing | May 17 17:45 |
| Techrights-sec | it and giving a good indication why it /might/ be worth watching. even | May 17 17:45 |
| Techrights-sec | then you won't know until having spent some time on it. | May 17 17:45 |
| schestowitz-TR | let me check spamnil | May 17 17:46 |
| schestowitz-TR | spamnil seems to have run out of "bot credits" | May 17 17:46 |
| schestowitz-TR | maybe he should ask Sheela and James for some more tokens | May 17 17:46 |
| schestowitz-TR | latest video 2 days ago,. 11 views | May 17 17:46 |
| schestowitz-TR | what a star filmmaker | May 17 17:47 |
| Techrights-sec | RIPE84 has most of its presentations online | May 17 17:47 |
| Techrights-sec | :/ | May 17 17:47 |
| Techrights-sec | If they just shut everything down, there would have been an uproar and negative | May 17 17:47 |
| Techrights-sec | press. If they let spamnil ruin it for a while, people will be relieved that | May 17 17:47 |
| Techrights-sec | it (he) is gone, when they finally do get around to pulling the plug | May 17 17:47 |
| schestowitz-TR | "fake it till you make it mode" | May 17 17:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | fake= bot farms | May 17 17:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | like "air support" (plane or artillery) | May 17 17:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | there isa delay between the request and the time it's "actioned" | May 17 17:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | and it works in "clusters" | May 17 17:49 |

| schestowitz-TR | tdf/libo also outsourced to gulag | May 17 17:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | but it has this plugin that absically demands you click to unfold the embed | May 17 17:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | like a privacy condom of sorts | May 17 17:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | I did not check where they host their site/s | May 17 17:50 |

| *DaemonFC (~daemonfc@2bk8utmbqk6aq.irc) has joined #boycottnovell | May 17 17:51 | |

| schestowitz-TR | I think you sdsent this to me | May 17 17:53 |
| schestowitz-TR | without an "x" | May 17 17:53 |
| schestowitz-TR | so I responded by adding some words to accompany that | May 17 17:53 |
| schestowitz-TR | I think one positive and constructive approach is, | May 17 17:53 |
| schestowitz-TR | remind people what lf is | May 17 17:53 |
| schestowitz-TR | agan and again | May 17 17:53 |
| schestowitz-TR | until people realise who or what is telling them those things | May 17 17:53 |
| schestowitz-TR | and become cynical | May 17 17:53 |
| schestowitz-TR | "yo spamnil, your video from 2 months ago has 12 views... the one next to it 700... and it's about something | May 17 17:56 |
| schestowitz-TR | as dry as a tumble-drier) | May 17 17:56 |
| schestowitz-TR | you could writ e atool with gulag api (bound to break at a whim) that takes channel ID | May 17 17:56 |
| schestowitz-TR | and then does some heuristics to tell you if it's a spam/bot shit | May 17 17:56 |
| schestowitz-TR | like spamnil's | May 17 17:56 |
| schestowitz-TR | gulag probably has such a thing already | May 17 17:56 |
| schestowitz-TR | but turns ablind eye | May 17 17:56 |
| schestowitz-TR | this "content creator" is paid by a "third party" | May 17 17:56 |
| schestowitz-TR | just checked twitter analytics | May 17 17:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | it's impressive | May 17 17:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | the momentr musk complaint about "bots" | May 17 17:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | my daily impressions are halved | May 17 17:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | every day :-) | May 17 17:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | the web is fake | May 17 17:58 |
| Techrights-sec | I hope the investors figure out that Twitter is so fake | May 17 18:05 |
| Techrights-sec | Anything lately about 'bugdoors' ? | May 17 18:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | yes, | May 17 18:07 |
| schestowitz-TR | 1) Schneier boosting and endorsing NSA claims | May 17 18:07 |
| schestowitz-TR | 2) TechDirt wrote about encryption yesterday, naming Snowden | May 17 18:07 |
| schestowitz-TR | 3) some more BS from Schneier | May 17 18:07 |
| schestowitz-TR | Schneier might soon become a meme like Microbell | May 17 18:07 |
| schestowitz-TR | I wrote severalk things about CISA last night | May 17 18:07 |
| schestowitz-TR | (bonus: daniel p thinks that debian started harping about firmware blobs | May 17 18:09 |
| schestowitz-TR | to distract from a new thread, which he was engaged in, regarding spy agencies | May 17 18:09 |
| schestowitz-TR | controlling a few devs in the Debian project without ever disclosing it | May 17 18:09 |
| schestowitz-TR | the vetting process in Debian has no way to stepo this | May 17 18:09 |
| schestowitz-TR | like goiv. clearances | May 17 18:09 |
| schestowitz-TR | and kaniini told me says ago they now adopt a better practice | May 17 18:09 |
| schestowitz-TR | in alpine for this reason) | May 17 18:09 |
| Techrights-sec | controlling debian percolates down to /hundreds/ of derivative distros both | May 17 18:10 |
| Techrights-sec | directly and indirectly | May 17 18:10 |
| Techrights-sec | can Alpine continue to stand tall? Debian was doing rather well for many | May 17 18:10 |
| Techrights-sec | years but was weakened when Mark Shuttleworth hired away too many key people | May 17 18:10 |
| Techrights-sec | for his project; then who knows WTF really happened with systemd, not only | May 17 18:10 |
| Techrights-sec | did one guy make the call, nearly *everyone* else toed the line and kicked | May 17 18:10 |
| Techrights-sec | out not just dissenters but skeptics and even neutral parties. | May 17 18:10 |
| schestowitz-TR | maybe you can find some incriminating material on LP and team | May 17 18:11 |
| schestowitz-TR | post-hoc | May 17 18:11 |
| schestowitz-TR | it is a very time-consuming process | May 17 18:11 |
| schestowitz-TR | the video predates much of the controversy | May 17 18:11 |
| schestowitz-TR | back in the PA+avahi days | May 17 18:12 |
| Techrights-sec | Seeing Poettering in that 2011 panel, I;m almost surprised that the others | May 17 18:13 |
| Techrights-sec | on the stage didn't just throw a tarp over him and start kicking and punching | May 17 18:13 |
| Techrights-sec | To find anything incriminating on the Debian TC would require someone involved | May 17 18:13 |
| Techrights-sec | coming clean in one way or another. They'd be readily identifiable and | May 17 18:13 |
| Techrights-sec | retribution would be certain, based on the way the public and even other devs | May 17 18:13 |
| Techrights-sec | were treated post-decision. | May 17 18:13 |
| schestowitz-TR | shortly after I had moved offic we decided not to go "inbox zero" on patents | May 17 18:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | so it freed up time | May 17 18:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | and except EPO exclusives we can dig into Free software matter | May 17 18:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | a lot of the remainder about github lacks spunk becuase of the departure | May 17 18:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | e.g. stephenie schatz friedman | May 17 18:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | so we need to iddentity priority issues | May 17 18:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | then work towards outcomes | May 17 18:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | the LF focus (and torvalds) isa respons to their "seucirty" PR | May 17 18:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | grnades | May 17 18:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | that make it into MSM | May 17 18:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | with "open source" champions like Microsoft | May 17 18:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | ping | May 17 18:19 |
| schestowitz-TR | phoronix is a sinking ship (scrollback warning): | May 17 18:19 |
| Techrights-sec | pong | May 17 18:21 |
| Techrights-sec | yes that's really too bad since he did such great work consistently for | May 17 18:21 |
| Techrights-sec | many years | May 17 18:21 |
| Techrights-sec | ack | May 17 18:21 |
| Techrights-sec | ack | May 17 18:22 |
| Techrights-sec | The Turing Pi and a great many other pi-derived projects are quite interesting | May 17 18:22 |
| Techrights-sec | but are all contingent on RPF surviving a while longe despite being infiltrated | May 17 18:22 |
| Techrights-sec | at both the board and the engineer level by microsofters | May 17 18:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | china as mangopi | May 17 18:23 |
| schestowitz-TR | sooner or later the chinese will beat the welsh at their own game | May 17 18:23 |
| schestowitz-TR | they also control the supply chain and rare earth | May 17 18:23 |
| schestowitz-TR | I love mango | May 17 18:24 |
| schestowitz-TR | you will know RPF loses the plot when it starts abusing TM law to try to shut down similarly-named | May 17 18:24 |
| schestowitz-TR | rivals | May 17 18:24 |
| schestowitz-TR | inc. banana and jetson/nano | May 17 18:24 |
| schestowitz-TR | beagelboard we don'\t hear much about | May 17 18:24 |
| schestowitz-TR | or gumstix | May 17 18:24 |
| Techrights-sec | The RPi is not about cost, it is about education. As long as they stick to | May 17 18:27 |
| Techrights-sec | that, they can maintain their lead. But if they go off on a tangent or turn | May 17 18:27 |
| Techrights-sec | to moneygrubbing then of course they will get surpassed quickly. | May 17 18:27 |
| schestowitz-TR | maybe the item is thus shared among the stuff or their friends | May 17 18:31 |
| schestowitz-TR | *staff | May 17 18:31 |
| schestowitz-TR | that would encourage making the service worse | May 17 18:31 |
| schestowitz-TR | we already lost a parcl ages ago | May 17 18:31 |
| schestowitz-TR | when I say shared I mean stolen | May 17 18:31 |
| schestowitz-TR | I know how they treat lost/unclaimed items at the gym | May 17 18:31 |
| schestowitz-TR | unofficially "auctioned" but more likely claimed by an insider or a friend | May 17 18:31 |
| schestowitz-TR | in a rigged process | May 17 18:31 |
| schestowitz-TR | some are high-value items | May 17 18:31 |
| schestowitz-TR | like fancy watches | May 17 18:31 |
| Techrights-sec | could be. France is like that. | May 17 18:32 |
| schestowitz-TR | anyway, let me know if you find a good topic | May 17 18:34 |
| schestowitz-TR | I'm starving for a new set of topic | May 17 18:34 |
| schestowitz-TR | github stuff is there and will be unshelved when the time is strateggic | May 17 18:34 |
| schestowitz-TR | like the next github debacle | May 17 18:34 |
| Techrights-sec | ok | May 17 18:36 |
| schestowitz-TR | rianne back, no discounts found today except milk :/ | May 17 18:38 |
| schestowitz-TR | I am guessing competition has increased | May 17 18:38 |
| Techrights-sec | ok | May 17 18:38 |
| Techrights-sec | probably | May 17 18:38 |
| schestowitz-TR | she said athat at one shop (she checks about 7 small ones) the front page of a "news" | May 17 18:39 |
| schestowitz-TR | paper said | May 17 18:39 |
| schestowitz-TR | "if you are poor, find a job that pays better" (paraphrasing) | May 17 18:39 |
| schestowitz-TR | I said, that's why ytou should ignore the oligarchs' press | May 17 18:39 |

| schestowitz-TR | itwire's stan beer wrote an article some days ago where he said Microsoft now charges money to fix its own mess | May 17 18:40 |
| schestowitz-TR | I un--disabled the itwire feed in quiterrss but most days there are zero items | May 17 18:40 |
| schestowitz-TR | very weird | May 17 18:40 |
| schestowitz-TR | as they cannot even maintain a consistent host and have at one point outsourced to microsloth | May 17 18:42 |
| schestowitz-TR | you might wish to set expectations accordingly | May 17 18:42 |
| schestowitz-TR | maybeon their last foot | May 17 18:42 |
| Techrights-sec | I hope they shake out of it, they have some good articles there though | May 17 18:43 |
| Techrights-sec | maybe 75% - 80% of them are by Sam | May 17 18:43 |
| schestowitz-TR | you are referring to one person as "they" :-) | May 17 18:43 |
| Techrights-sec | he does almost all the heavy lifting there | May 17 18:44 |
| Techrights-sec | there are on occasion more than one author, but I cannot remember the names | May 17 18:44 |
| Techrights-sec | besides Sam | May 17 18:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | more than a decade ago, in the digg days, there was david williams (or williamson) | May 17 18:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | I don't think he writes there anymore | May 17 18:44 |
| Techrights-sec | the more worrying trend is that it seems there are many aricles by "staff" | May 17 18:45 |
| schestowitz-TR | itwire's microsoft booster dave winder (or similar) moved to forbes | May 17 18:45 |
| schestowitz-TR | and the editor is no longer stan beer afaik | May 17 18:45 |
| Techrights-sec | that's too bad, Forbes was dabbling in FOSS topics for a while | May 17 18:46 |
| Techrights-sec | I guess their bosses shut that down. | May 17 18:46 |
| schestowitz-TR | jason evangelho wrote about steam deck there EVERY DAY | May 17 18:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | then I did a post showing the pattern | May 17 18:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | then he vanished! :-) | May 17 18:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | like they saw him and sacked him on the spot | May 17 18:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | but deck is not an enemy | May 17 18:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | days ago, in rely to lunduke article re suse | May 17 18:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | jason evangelho said in twitter that lunmduke had questioned his credibility and authenticity | May 17 18:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | I also got mail claiming the same | May 17 18:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | forbes is not journalism | May 17 18:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | they have clientele | May 17 18:49 |

| Techrights-sec | yes they sell a message rather than do proper reporting or at least confine | May 17 18:51 |
