| Techrights-sec | I hope Gemini sorts out the large file transmission problem | May 18 07:41 |
| schestowitz-TR | there is also a company called PGP or GPG IIRC | May 18 07:42 |
| schestowitz-TR | but those typically just ride the brand of the programs | May 18 07:42 |
| schestowitz-TR | and have no real connection to them | May 18 07:43 |
| Techrights-sec | LOL | May 18 07:43 |

| schestowitz-TR | I quoted some new comments in IRC after midnight (today) | May 18 08:20 |
| schestowitz-TR | ina sense I am happy | May 18 08:20 |
| schestowitz-TR | because maybe we can make a compelling case for hosting from homes | May 18 08:20 |
| schestowitz-TR | gemini fits the bil | May 18 08:20 |
| schestowitz-TR | but some politicians would then pass "Bills" | May 18 08:20 |
| schestowitz-TR | something about "shooter" and "hate" | May 18 08:20 |
| Techrights-sec | yes it ultimately comes down to the ability to self-host and the tools behind | May 18 08:34 |
| Techrights-sec | diaspora are just too heavy and too complex to bother with. People could | May 18 08:34 |
| Techrights-sec | technically run their own instance but there aren't really any situations where | May 18 08:34 |
| Techrights-sec | it is worth the effort. There needs to be massive simplification rather | May 18 08:34 |
| Techrights-sec | that what has actually happened. | May 18 08:34 |
| schestowitz-TR | techrights homedir has a residue of me running (experimenting with) our own instance of diaspora | May 18 08:34 |
| schestowitz-TR | that was a very long time ago (old version, too) | May 18 08:34 |
| schestowitz-TR | the complexity of it and the system reqs (not just deps but also disk space, ram etc.) make | May 18 08:34 |
| schestowitz-TR | it sadism to even bother with | May 18 08:34 |
| schestowitz-TR | esp. for very small instances | May 18 08:34 |
| schestowitz-TR | is aral balkan still at it? | May 18 08:34 |
| schestowitz-TR | does he bother? | May 18 08:34 |
| schestowitz-TR | DT and DeVault pulled the plug | May 18 08:34 |
| schestowitz-TR | not only on themselves but people who relied on their instance | May 18 08:34 |
| Techrights-sec | WordPress is another example of complexity expanding until it reaches the | May 18 08:35 |
| Techrights-sec | limit the market will tolerate | May 18 08:35 |
| Techrights-sec | not sure; yes: https://mastodon.ar.al/@aral | May 18 08:35 |
| Techrights-sec | though for him one of the returns is making a point, plus he | May 18 08:35 |
| Techrights-sec | does javascript for a living so it is a somewhat smaller burden and | May 18 08:35 |
| Techrights-sec | most likely less unpleasant; few actually like javascript but maybe | May 18 08:35 |
| -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-ar.al🌻 (@aral@mastodon.ar.al) - Aral’s Mastodon | May 18 08:35 | |
| Techrights-sec | he is one; that aside, he mostly has good points to note about reducing | May 18 08:35 |
| Techrights-sec | complexity | May 18 08:35 |
| schestowitz-TR | a) need to make point about gemini HAVING a REAL userbase | May 18 08:39 |
| schestowitz-TR | b) make it less daunting to dabble in (but not GUI complexity either) | May 18 08:39 |
| schestowitz-TR | c) make it look big, hence Planet | May 18 08:39 |
| schestowitz-TR | d) promote by linking to it | May 18 08:39 |
| schestowitz-TR | of course we have self-interest in that too, as early adopters | May 18 08:39 |

| -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-Pirate Site Blocking is Making its Way Into Free Trade Agreements * TorrentFreak | May 18 10:54 | |
| schestowitz-TR | <techrights-news> TorrentFreak cannot be accessed or rendered without Gulag. They need to rethink how they make/made their Web site... | May 18 10:56 |
| schestowitz-TR | the lingering concern is that they will start with unauthorised streams | May 18 10:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | and then broaden the brush | May 18 10:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | or say that anything not centralised COULD violate copyrights | May 18 10:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | even if it does not | May 18 10:58 |
| schestowitz-TR | so we need to stand with the "pirates" | May 18 10:58 |
| schestowitz-TR | then they will use terrorists | May 18 10:58 |
| schestowitz-TR | and pedos | May 18 10:58 |
| schestowitz-TR | for cover | May 18 10:58 |
| schestowitz-TR | The BillBC, which covers up for Jeffrey Epstein's underage sex ring (like it did Jimmy Savile), has the audacity to associate privacy with "pedos". Who's paying you, BBC? Oh yeah.... Bill. | May 18 10:59 |
| Techrights-sec | that appears to be their goal, based on things going back to before "DVD Jon" | May 18 11:02 |
| Techrights-sec | note that vouching for your own certificates is more or less blocked by | May 18 11:02 |

| schestowitz-TR | but schestowitz.com moved to https | May 18 11:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | only because for some strange, strange reason | May 18 11:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | all the wordpress blogs there (about 5-6 of them) suddenly redirecated everything internally to https | May 18 11:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | which is very strange | May 18 11:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | rather than find the cause and undo | May 18 11:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | I just gave up and added https | May 18 11:05 |

| schestowitz-TR | this helps dicourage them | May 18 11:06 |

| schestowitz-TR | fwiw, the vaccine analogy is of use on the thin surfacve | May 18 11:08 |
| schestowitz-TR | they keep saying "get vaccinated" (https) | May 18 11:08 |
| schestowitz-TR | and if you don't, they keep putting up the pressure | May 18 11:08 |
| schestowitz-TR | while mocking you | May 18 11:08 |
| schestowitz-TR | then blocking entry | May 18 11:08 |

| schestowitz-TR | one remedial approach, I think, | May 18 11:11 |
| schestowitz-TR | is to keep putting the flashlight on LF | May 18 11:11 |
| schestowitz-TR | like last night when I showed its "security" and "open source" doc | May 18 11:11 |

| schestowitz-TR | I was about to comment here in ytalk, but you already saw that regardless | May 18 15:24 |
| schestowitz-TR | when FB is down twitter is also down | May 18 15:24 |
| schestowitz-TR | because th shareholders make deductions | May 18 15:24 |
| schestowitz-TR | I get a TON of deja vu re Microsoft, Yahoo! and Icahn | May 18 15:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | if you consider the chain of events from KSA, Musk, and Twitter | May 18 15:25 |
| Techrights-sec | it was a bit of good news, or at least some indication of one thing heading t | May 18 15:25 |

| schestowitz-TR | complete with media player, solitaire etc. | May 18 20:24 |
| psydroid2 | at some point you could only manage it from vista | May 18 20:24 |
| psydroid2 | which is ridiculous | May 18 20:24 |
| schestowitz-TR | because you want to play games and listen to music on a production servet ;-) | May 18 20:24 |
| Techrights-sec | ack | May 18 20:24 |
| schestowitz-TR | lots of LF spam today | May 18 20:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | Linux Foundation is spamming legitimate sites to promote a diploma mill. This is not helping Linux! http://www.tuxmachines.org/node/164995#comment-33720 | May 18 20:25 |
| -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-www.tuxmachines.org | Linux Foundation Misdirection and Spam | Tux Machines | May 18 20:25 | |
| schestowitz-TR | BTW, on the call last week the CEO mentioned LPI and LF diploma | May 18 20:26 |
| schestowitz-TR | I didn't laugh out loud, only inside | May 18 20:26 |
| schestowitz-TR | the camera was on | May 18 20:26 |
| psydroid2 | I still get nightmwares from the prometheus thing | May 18 20:27 |
| psydroid2 | not because I used it, but because this guy in Dublin (Brian Brazil) would give the same presentation wherever he went | May 18 20:28 |
| schestowitz-TR | sounds like today's "academia" | May 18 20:28 |
| schestowitz-TR | one of the worse part is lecturing | May 18 20:28 |
| schestowitz-TR | the worst is marking up exams | May 18 20:28 |
| schestowitz-TR | the thing the scholars want to do is research and papers | May 18 20:28 |
| schestowitz-TR | and reading | May 18 20:29 |
| schestowitz-TR | work is not fun | May 18 20:30 |
| schestowitz-TR | jobs are no fun | May 18 20:30 |
| schestowitz-TR | some are less unfun [sic] | May 18 20:30 |
| schestowitz-TR | and: | May 18 20:30 |
| schestowitz-TR | over time the jobs become less fun | May 18 20:30 |
| schestowitz-TR | as a function of how much exploitation they can get away with | May 18 20:30 |
| schestowitz-TR | before you resign | May 18 20:30 |
| schestowitz-TR | "hand in a notice" | May 18 20:30 |
| psydroid2 | and do what then? | May 18 20:30 |
| schestowitz-TR | in tough economic conditions and with kids and mortgages more people can be exploited | May 18 20:31 |
| schestowitz-TR | they cannot afford to lose their job | May 18 20:31 |
| psydroid2 | all IT jobs suck nowadays | May 18 20:31 |
| schestowitz-TR | yeah | May 18 20:31 |
| schestowitz-TR | clown smart hey hi | May 18 20:31 |
| schestowitz-TR | and clown diplomas | May 18 20:31 |
| schestowitz-TR | "memorise this gui" | May 18 20:31 |
| schestowitz-TR | do online exam with microhone and camera on | May 18 20:31 |
| schestowitz-TR | don't forget, you use Windows, RIGHT? RIGHT? | May 18 20:31 |
| schestowitz-TR | rianne is checking jobs this week | May 18 20:32 |
| schestowitz-TR | because we plan to resign soon | May 18 20:32 |
| schestowitz-TR | or lower the hours | May 18 20:32 |
| schestowitz-TR | my employer is becoming shittier each year | May 18 20:32 |
| psydroid2 | if you are asked to sell out, you should at least be paid well | May 18 20:32 |
| schestowitz-TR | it's not even that | May 18 20:33 |
| schestowitz-TR | I might publish more details soon | May 18 20:33 |
| schestowitz-TR | but I already said a lot in this channel | May 18 20:33 |
| schestowitz-TR | without people's named and brand names | May 18 20:34 |
| schestowitz-TR | I do have "techsss skillz.. | May 18 20:34 |
| schestowitz-TR | But uploading shit to "clown" is not using my skills | May 18 20:34 |
| schestowitz-TR | it's an insult to the company's name | May 18 20:34 |
| schestowitz-TR | we used to have high-calibre stuff | May 18 20:34 |
| schestowitz-TR | *and staff | May 18 20:34 |
| psydroid2 | maybe the skilled staff have all left | May 18 20:34 |
| schestowitz-TR | not we have staff with degree in CLASSICS! | May 18 20:34 |
| schestowitz-TR | yeah, they have | May 18 20:34 |
| schestowitz-TR | we are a zombie brand | May 18 20:35 |
| schestowitz-TR | like vmware :-) | May 18 20:35 |
| schestowitz-TR | like netflix | May 18 20:35 |
| psydroid2 | :) | May 18 20:35 |
| schestowitz-TR | except those companies still pay well | May 18 20:35 |
| schestowitz-TR | as you say, the jobs out there are not too nice | May 18 20:35 |
| schestowitz-TR | and the requirements are laughable | May 18 20:35 |
| schestowitz-TR | enough to put you off | May 18 20:36 |
| schestowitz-TR | I can do a multi-year hiatus to focus on techrights | May 18 20:36 |
| schestowitz-TR | but would rather have some employment continuation | May 18 20:36 |
| schestowitz-TR | so I might go part time | May 18 20:36 |
| schestowitz-TR | seems even companies that call themselves "open source" are not | May 18 20:36 |
| schestowitz-TR | (anymore) | May 18 20:36 |
| schestowitz-TR | Red Hat is one | May 18 20:36 |
| psydroid2 | I'm thinking I should finally get a (remote) job this summer and keep working with hardware design and embedded software | May 18 20:37 |
| schestowitz-TR | Oliva (LXO) left fast | May 18 20:37 |
| schestowitz-TR | ours is doing all sorts of clown shit | May 18 20:37 |
| schestowitz-TR | the media is a lying sack of s***t | May 18 20:37 |
| schestowitz-TR | they say things like | May 18 20:37 |
| schestowitz-TR | "great resignation" | May 18 20:37 |
| schestowitz-TR | high salaries | May 18 20:37 |
| psydroid2 | I think Red Hat saw an opportunity a long time ago, but kept boiling the frog and eventually turned into what it is now under IBM | May 18 20:37 |
| schestowitz-TR | many openings | May 18 20:37 |
| schestowitz-TR | home working | May 18 20:37 |
| schestowitz-TR | people get all cushy | May 18 20:37 |
| schestowitz-TR | this is a fictional write-up style | May 18 20:38 |
| schestowitz-TR | they're told what to write | May 18 20:38 |
| schestowitz-TR | to encourage young people to still study CS | May 18 20:38 |
| schestowitz-TR | and to blame the victims | May 18 20:38 |
| schestowitz-TR | ewvebn universities have becomg training facilitiees | May 18 20:38 |
| psydroid2 | does the IT industry need so many people in the future? | May 18 20:38 |
| schestowitz-TR | they don't teach | May 18 20:38 |
| psydroid2 | maybe to drive salaries down | May 18 20:38 |
| schestowitz-TR | psydroid2: depends where | May 18 20:38 |
| schestowitz-TR | they never say it out loud | May 18 20:38 |
| schestowitz-TR | IBM fires its vetarans | May 18 20:39 |
| schestowitz-TR | then moans about talent shortage | May 18 20:39 |
| schestowitz-TR | calling the vicitms "dinobabies" | May 18 20:39 |
| schestowitz-TR | they want to hire on the cheap | May 18 20:39 |
| schestowitz-TR | one client of ours hired in Yerevan | May 18 20:39 |
| schestowitz-TR | for a Web site resign | May 18 20:39 |
| schestowitz-TR | redesign | May 18 20:39 |
| schestowitz-TR | I can imagine how much they pay | May 18 20:39 |
| schestowitz-TR | and NOC was outsourced to southeat Asia | May 18 20:39 |
| schestowitz-TR | so the issue is not a lack of talent | May 18 20:40 |
| schestowitz-TR | but a lack of capital | May 18 20:40 |
| schestowitz-TR | or greed, wanting to increase net profits | May 18 20:40 |
| schestowitz-TR | no wonder so many young and sometimes old people look at get-rich-fast schemes | May 18 20:41 |
| psydroid2 | it's becoming harder to differentiate your skills in this market | May 18 20:41 |
| schestowitz-TR | it's the only chance they have | May 18 20:41 |
| psydroid2 | yes | May 18 20:41 |
| schestowitz-TR | and prices of homes rise faster than they can save up | May 18 20:41 |
| schestowitz-TR | so it's like a runaway train | May 18 20:41 |
| schestowitz-TR | that's why they buy fakecoin | May 18 20:41 |
| schestowitz-TR | btw, sheelva zemlin works in a fakecoin company | May 18 20:41 |
| schestowitz-TR | microsoft's fakecoin | May 18 20:41 |
| schestowitz-TR | maybe I'll write about it one dayu | May 18 20:41 |
| schestowitz-TR | [20:41] <psydroid2> it's becoming harder to differentiate your skills in this market | May 18 20:42 |
| schestowitz-TR | hey, I can set up our own server | May 18 20:42 |
| schestowitz-TR | save us $10,000 a year | May 18 20:42 |
| schestowitz-TR | boss: no, no, the clown is the thing | May 18 20:42 |
| schestowitz-TR | "we cannot be hobbyists" | May 18 20:42 |
| schestowitz-TR | to them, tech-skilled people are hobbyists | May 18 20:42 |
| schestowitz-TR | oursourcing = professional | May 18 20:42 |
| schestowitz-TR | never mind legality aspects | May 18 20:42 |
| schestowitz-TR | which I keep raising | May 18 20:43 |
| schestowitz-TR | to deaf ears | May 18 20:43 |
| schestowitz-TR | they just panic when they hear it | May 18 20:43 |
| schestowitz-TR | like a whistleblower attempting to air concerns internally | May 18 20:43 |
| schestowitz-TR | oh, wait, you gotta hear this | May 18 20:43 |
| schestowitz-TR | this week they sent out presentation slides | May 18 20:43 |
| schestowitz-TR | they make this massive org chart | May 18 20:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | with like 30 leafs in it | May 18 20:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | roles or teams | May 18 20:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | we're a company of only about 10 people now | May 18 20:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | they're faking it | May 18 20:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | and the site is out of date, half the people listed there no longer work with us | May 18 20:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | most left, not sacked | May 18 20:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | BTW | May 18 20:45 |
| schestowitz-TR | if you want to work for Linux Foundation | May 18 20:45 |
| schestowitz-TR | and you use Linux | May 18 20:45 |
| schestowitz-TR | beware | May 18 20:45 |
| schestowitz-TR | you might need to use something else :-) | May 18 20:45 |
| psydroid2 | :) | May 18 20:45 |
| schestowitz-TR | it would be nice if someone took some photos inside their office | May 18 20:45 |
| psydroid2 | it's one big farce | May 18 20:46 |
| schestowitz-TR | but that person would get caugh and bollocked | May 18 20:46 |
| psydroid2 | I had macos installed in qemu for a year or so to see how it was different from gnu/linux | May 18 20:46 |
| psydroid2 | not only was it slower and buggier, it was just harder to get code compiled for | May 18 20:46 |
| psydroid2 | it's better than vista from a developer point of view, but not reliable enough for my needs | May 18 20:47 |
| schestowitz-TR | what was the software for? | May 18 20:48 |
| psydroid2 | but most of those people like the ones who work at the Linux Foundation like shiny things | May 18 20:48 |
| schestowitz-TR | like target platform? | May 18 20:48 |
| schestowitz-TR | server? | May 18 20:48 |
| schestowitz-TR | web? | May 18 20:48 |
| schestowitz-TR | tech? game? | May 18 20:48 |
| schestowitz-TR | psydroid2: they like "shiny" things because they get no real work done | May 18 20:48 |
| schestowitz-TR | they just make powerpoint slides | May 18 20:48 |
| schestowitz-TR | and phonecalls | May 18 20:48 |
| psydroid2 | no, my raytracing project from university | May 18 20:48 |
| schestowitz-TR | and writing press releases | May 18 20:48 |
| schestowitz-TR | and doing "CoC" processes | May 18 20:49 |
| psydroid2 | it used something called std::filesystem that is buggy on macos | May 18 20:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | psydroid2: did you do your own tracing? | May 18 20:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | I did some opengl and povray 20+ years ago | May 18 20:49 |
| psydroid2 | I wrote large parts of the code, yes | May 18 20:49 |
| psydroid2 | but it was a group project | May 18 20:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | right now their strategt | May 18 20:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | apple,microsoft etc. | May 18 20:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | is to detabilise us | May 18 20:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | like stevge jobs trying to recruit torvalds | May 18 20:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | with the conditipon | May 18 20:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | you MUST STOP developing Linux | May 18 20:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | now the LF does similar shit | May 18 20:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | because now they fight | May 18 20:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | then we win | May 18 20:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | they kill many orgs in the process | May 18 20:50 |
| psydroid2 | they are essentially fighting all of free software | May 18 20:50 |
| psydroid2 | by EEE'ing it | May 18 20:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | to make things more shitty than 10 years ago | May 18 20:50 |
| psydroid2 | this does look like the "final solution" from you know where | May 18 20:51 |
| schestowitz-TR | well, final solution is a poor analogy | May 18 20:51 |
| schestowitz-TR | the final soluiton was about executing the internment camps' inhibitants | May 18 20:51 |
| schestowitz-TR | to save food etc. | May 18 20:51 |
| schestowitz-TR | or just because of hate | May 18 20:51 |
| schestowitz-TR | in the case of Microsoft EEE | May 18 20:51 |
| schestowitz-TR | a better analogy would be '"infiltrate and burn down everything" | May 18 20:52 |
| psydroid2 | it's not just Microsoft this time | May 18 20:52 |
| schestowitz-TR | mjg is in #techrights not because he finds it interesting | May 18 20:52 |
| psydroid2 | it's Microsoft and all of their friends | May 18 20:52 |
| schestowitz-TR | it's a class thing | May 18 20:52 |
| schestowitz-TR | brands help identify the moles | May 18 20:52 |
| schestowitz-TR | past employment, kinship, friends | May 18 20:53 |

| schestowitz-TR | sorry, my laptop there ran out of power | May 18 21:02 |
| schestowitz-TR | it's showing a sign of its age | May 18 21:03 |
| schestowitz-TR | some mechanical faults | May 18 21:03 |
| schestowitz-TR | anyway, the last few standing to fight the so-called 'coup' | May 18 21:03 |
| schestowitz-TR | (I don't fancy using such a word) | May 18 21:03 |
| schestowitz-TR | can harness the power of the remaining hacker culture/community | May 18 21:03 |
| schestowitz-TR | but we need to add more young people to it | May 18 21:03 |
| schestowitz-TR | to keep up the resistance | May 18 21:03 |
| schestowitz-TR | oh, it crashed again | May 18 21:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | not sure a battery issue | May 18 21:04 |
| *asusbox has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) | May 18 21:06 | |
| *rianne_ has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) | May 18 21:06 | |
| schestowitz-TR | maybe ssd damage... | May 18 21:09 |
| psydroid2 | this one also has some erratic behaviour with the screen going blank, so I have to reboot it sometimes | May 18 21:11 |
| psydroid2 | but I'm running bookworm/sid here, so I expect some breakage | May 18 21:11 |
| schestowitz-TR | ok, now I am quite sure it's the power supply | May 18 21:11 |
| schestowitz-TR | it's very sensitive at the socket | May 18 21:11 |
| psydroid2 | it's just much faster than bullseye for some reason | May 18 21:11 |
| schestowitz-TR | I need to babysit two laptops to make sure they're on socket and not battery | May 18 21:12 |
| schestowitz-TR | at least I can assure myself it's not dead, just attention-demanding | May 18 21:12 |
| schestowitz-TR | if I quit my job, I'll change my arrangement around here | May 18 21:13 |
| schestowitz-TR | OK, I think I got this figured out now, but the age of the laptop (2016) means it's not worth purchasing an alternate charger | May 18 21:16 |
| schestowitz-TR | the battery life isn't great either | May 18 21:16 |
| schestowitz-TR | on minimal brightness it can last no more than 3 hours idle | May 18 21:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | I thought that my monitor was having issues, with lumens up and down | May 18 21:21 |
| schestowitz-TR | turns out it's power management when the socket is in and out | May 18 21:21 |
| schestowitz-TR | so it's a symptom of me going to battery... and a warning | May 18 21:21 |
