| schestowitz-TR | sole upside is, I can restore it better than before | May 19 08:02 |

| schestowitz-TR | minor point: christine hall wrote something yesterday | May 19 09:34 |
| schestowitz-TR | yes, it's significant | May 19 09:34 |
| schestowitz-TR | as the blog was mostly dead lately | May 19 09:34 |
| Techrights-sec | I stopped reading her site a while back | May 19 09:34 |
| schestowitz-TR | but many of the articles have neen lf and ibm boosting | May 19 09:34 |
| schestowitz-TR | it's not "organic" | May 19 09:34 |
| schestowitz-TR | it's paid-for agenda | May 19 09:34 |
| schestowitz-TR | there mau be a dead of change on the Web | May 19 09:35 |
| schestowitz-TR | not what we see right now | May 19 09:35 |
| schestowitz-TR | but something more profound | May 19 09:35 |
| schestowitz-TR | as webspam is becoming very widespread | May 19 09:35 |
| schestowitz-TR | there's no news! | May 19 09:35 |
| schestowitz-TR | certainly not in patents | May 19 09:35 |
| schestowitz-TR | and "linux" became the same | May 19 09:35 |
| schestowitz-TR | social control media at crossroads | May 19 09:35 |
| Techrights-sec | social control media is part of that problem since so many take shortcuts | May 19 09:37 |
| Techrights-sec | and instead of doing even a minimal amount of investigation, just checking | May 19 09:37 |
| Techrights-sec | to see what twitter wants them to see | May 19 09:37 |
| schestowitz-TR | comment moderationm became "uneconomic" because people remark in censored, filters social control | May 19 09:37 |
| schestowitz-TR | media and not in comment facilities of blogs | May 19 09:37 |
| schestowitz-TR | that's like disqus ousourcing but bigger | May 19 09:37 |
| schestowitz-TR | and lowers the incentive for news sites to carry on at all | May 19 09:37 |
| Techrights-sec | by steering readers over to social control medai they actively reduce the | May 19 09:37 |
| Techrights-sec | likelihood that they will return to the site and over time there is enough | May 19 09:37 |
| Techrights-sec | attrition for it be a significant drop in numbers :( | May 19 09:37 |
| schestowitz-TR | yes, exactly | May 19 09:38 |
| schestowitz-TR | many young people never heard of rss | May 19 09:38 |
| schestowitz-TR | and they are becoming fluent in algospeak | May 19 09:38 |
| schestowitz-TR | and memorising emojis | May 19 09:38 |
| Techrights-sec | which just means that first their speech, then their behavior, then their | May 19 09:46 |
| Techrights-sec | thoughts become warped to Twitter's (and the others') agenda. | May 19 09:46 |
| Techrights-sec | Perhaps more importantly, they are not learning or growing mentally, emotionally | May 19 09:46 |
| Techrights-sec | Instead they are addicted to an interface which provides only highly ephemeral | May 19 09:46 |
| Techrights-sec | stimulation in exchange for "emitting behaviors" like a handheld skinner box. | May 19 09:46 |
| schestowitz-TR | digg was a form of agamification | May 19 09:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | I could never understand why one-line comment of "like" or "digg" | May 19 09:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | was any more worthy than propert communication | May 19 09:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | like irc | May 19 09:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | where you can interact in real time | May 19 09:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | social control media is having massive delays in communicstion | May 19 09:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | and the topics are thus all over the place | May 19 09:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | so the debate cannot develop | May 19 09:50 |
| Techrights-sec | they can't memorize the emojis since they change meaning over the weeks that | May 19 09:51 |
| Techrights-sec | pass. | May 19 09:51 |
| Techrights-sec | Like I said, it's highly ephemeral. | May 19 09:51 |
| Techrights-sec | Digg censored very heavily. | May 19 09:51 |
| Techrights-sec | Any time you bring up Digg, I will recall that it blocked any and all mention | May 19 09:51 |
| Techrights-sec | of the OpenDocument Format and related material on Open Standards. | May 19 09:51 |
| Techrights-sec | TR published article/s about ODF in Digg | May 19 09:55 |
| Techrights-sec | but it was a very long time ago | May 19 09:55 |
| schestowitz-TR | TR published article/s about ODF in Digg | May 19 09:55 |
| schestowitz-TR | but it was a very long time ago | May 19 09:55 |
| Techrights-sec | Yes, I recall that TR tried but they were quickly sidelined there, as was | May 19 09:55 |
| Techrights-sec | anything related to ODF. | May 19 09:55 |
| schestowitz-TR | back in those days our company run an EVENT for ODF | May 19 09:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | now we have some fools who do web-based | May 19 09:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | like it's OK | May 19 09:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | I was thinking of your standards work yesterday | May 19 09:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | but I cannot remember the substance or context | May 19 09:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | it could not even been so important, else I'd have brought it up | May 19 09:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | but document formats are barely even a topic anymore | May 19 09:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | for that matter (continuing my thoughts) | May 19 10:00 |
| schestowitz-TR | now we have "apps", not "web" | May 19 10:00 |
| schestowitz-TR | and "web" is "webapps" | May 19 10:00 |
| schestowitz-TR | even things like twitter devolved in this way | May 19 10:00 |
| schestowitz-TR | similarly, rss is not a thing | May 19 10:00 |
| schestowitz-TR | ownership is not a thing | May 19 10:00 |
| schestowitz-TR | "streaming" | May 19 10:00 |
| schestowitz-TR | DRM | May 19 10:00 |
| schestowitz-TR | there's a storm brewing | May 19 10:00 |
| schestowitz-TR | I want to see what happens when some "tech titans" collapse | May 19 10:00 |
| schestowitz-TR | and the aftermath | May 19 10:00 |
| schestowitz-TR | sometiems it feels like we just need to be patient and persistg until some storms passes | May 19 10:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | many won't make it to the other side | May 19 10:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | and this is fine | May 19 10:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | but the important thing is to maintain operations and come to the other side | May 19 10:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | software freedom is under attack for decades already | May 19 10:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | but 39 years later it's still here | May 19 10:04 |
| Techrights-sec | yes but unfortunately proprietary software still has a noticeable presence | May 19 10:11 |
| Techrights-sec | and above all in schools, that is *extremely* harmful | May 19 10:11 |
| schestowitz-TR | schools get targeted deliberately | May 19 10:12 |

| -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-DHS ‘Disinformation’ Board Put on ‘Pause’ After Backlash – scheerpost.com | May 19 10:15 | |
| Techrights-sec | yes and it is related to the disinformation campaign in that they use a | May 19 10:17 |
| Techrights-sec | similar principle. When people adopt a position on a topic, they very rarely | May 19 10:17 |
| Techrights-sec | let facts subsquently interfere with that position. So the proprietary shops | May 19 10:17 |
| Techrights-sec | aim to get children exposed to their products before anything else. | May 19 10:17 |
| Techrights-sec | Also M$ damages society by being so illogical, complicated, and convolted, so | May 19 10:17 |
| Techrights-sec | that any kid that claims to be interested in computers will be driven away | May 19 10:18 |
| Techrights-sec | unless they are compliant. Those that make the cut will be useless for real computing on the basis on their inability to work | May 19 10:18 |
| Techrights-sec | logically. Thus you end up | May 19 10:18 |
| Techrights-sec | with a pool of clowns, exclusively, in regards to what the industry has become. | May 19 10:18 |
| Techrights-sec | Same for research since those who would have surpassing skills are culled | May 19 10:18 |
| Techrights-sec | early on. | May 19 10:18 |
| schestowitz-TR | I think this is the subject of Mark's next book | May 19 10:18 |
| Techrights-sec | When is that book due? | May 19 10:19 |
| schestowitz-TR | he is probably too busy marking up exams and other nonsese at the 'school' | May 19 10:19 |

| schestowitz-TR | woke up this morning, one laptop shut down | May 19 10:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | I was suspicious of it when I went to bed, double-checked | May 19 10:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | it's one of two where the socket is super sensitive | May 19 10:26 |
| schestowitz-TR | and I can sometimes catch it when not afk | May 19 10:26 |
| schestowitz-TR | after convincing myself "maybe for the better" (mental trick) | May 19 10:26 |
| schestowitz-TR | because I reshuffled tasks around (xfce unlike kde does not restore sessiopns afisk) | May 19 10:26 |
| schestowitz-TR | the other laptop also shut down, at 9am | May 19 10:26 |
| schestowitz-TR | I complained about this one in IRC last night | May 19 10:26 |
| schestowitz-TR | they both have a loose connection near the power inlet | May 19 10:26 |
| schestowitz-TR | and it's like voodoo magic getting it right | May 19 10:26 |
| schestowitz-TR | so now I need to spend my whole morning shuffl things again | May 19 10:26 |
| schestowitz-TR | to feel like I gain on productivity | May 19 10:26 |
| schestowitz-TR | thankfully the news seemed slow | May 19 10:26 |
| schestowitz-TR | based ona rapid alta visdta before rianne has a pass at it | May 19 10:26 |
| schestowitz-TR | the setup here is underutilised a | May 19 10:26 |
| schestowitz-TR | and Istill don't know what happens ij the company and thus if I can phase out some things | May 19 10:26 |
| schestowitz-TR | the lack of certainty is a nuisance | May 19 10:26 |
| schestowitz-TR | fore the company, the lack of a future is a years-long issue | May 19 10:26 |
| schestowitz-TR | as a non-shareholders I did not care as long as I could "milk" | May 19 10:26 |
| schestowitz-TR | sub-rant" | May 19 10:29 |
| schestowitz-TR | depending on distro and version, some machines have synergy | May 19 10:29 |
| schestowitz-TR | some only have barrier | May 19 10:29 |
| schestowitz-TR | so the main laptop connects to two laptops over synergy | May 19 10:29 |
| schestowitz-TR | and two over barrier | May 19 10:29 |
| schestowitz-TR | even just shoehorning the darn thing into some distros was hard work | May 19 10:29 |
| schestowitz-TR | the issue is, the motion of the mouse is counterintuitive | May 19 10:30 |
| schestowitz-TR | as you cannot properly assign corners | May 19 10:30 |
| schestowitz-TR | you have to memorse that going to the far left means going all the way to the right | May 19 10:30 |
| schestowitz-TR | because the layout is set separately for barrier and synergy | May 19 10:30 |
| schestowitz-TR | over different port numbers | May 19 10:30 |
| schestowitz-TR | and the two bits of software, which are based on similar codebase, do not mix well | May 19 10:30 |
| schestowitz-TR | the lack of intuitive mouse motion costs time | May 19 10:30 |
| schestowitz-TR | I had it perfect int he old office | May 19 10:30 |
| schestowitz-TR | but then I could no longer trust the ssd so addeed a new laptop and another screen | May 19 10:30 |
| schestowitz-TR | needed bigger desk | May 19 10:30 |
| schestowitz-TR | very sub-optimal atm | May 19 10:30 |
| schestowitz-TR | I should take advatage of news slowness and tackle this | May 19 10:30 |
| Techrights-sec | ack | May 19 10:33 |
| Techrights-sec | sometimes it is necessary to invest in improving the local infrastructure | May 19 10:37 |
| schestowitz-TR | a never ending optimisation problem when the hardware keeps changing | May 19 10:38 |

| schestowitz-TR | it also increases mouse journey and collisions | May 19 11:30 |

| schestowitz-TR | *left | May 19 11:30 |
| schestowitz-TR | I partly blame synergy | May 19 11:30 |
| schestowitz-TR | for trying to go proprietary | May 19 11:30 |
| schestowitz-TR | and partly the distros | May 19 11:30 |
| schestowitz-TR | as there is still a version of synergy that's free | May 19 11:30 |
| schestowitz-TR | but the new distros only include barrier | May 19 11:30 |

| schestowitz-TR | knowing their ages at the time... | May 19 11:40 |

| schestowitz-TR | But we do not have a full copy, IA should have one | May 19 11:40 |
| schestowitz-TR | one day Microsoft will cease to exist | May 19 11:40 |
| schestowitz-TR | but people will recall it wrongly | May 19 11:40 |
| schestowitz-TR | One day I will wake up to the news that Bill Gates is dead | May 19 11:40 |
| schestowitz-TR | and there will be work needed to set the record straight | May 19 11:40 |
| schestowitz-TR | the hagiographies are paid for.. for decades in advance | May 19 11:40 |
| Techrights-sec | unfortunately that twitter account is not quite the best to be associated with | May 19 11:40 |
| Techrights-sec | Yes, the last copy. | May 19 11:40 |
| Techrights-sec | It will be hard becaue the revisionists will still work hard at it because | May 19 11:40 |
| Techrights-sec | so many near him have dirty hands too. | May 19 11:40 |
| Techrights-sec | If they bury Bill, they'll need to establish a pissoir at the headstone to | May 19 11:43 |
| Techrights-sec | handle the line of people who arrive to piss on the grave in an environmentally | May 19 11:43 |
| Techrights-sec | sound manner. If they put a little water wheel on it, they might even | May 19 11:43 |

| schestowitz-TR | I did now check that Muskster's account | May 19 11:45 |
| schestowitz-TR | but in that site many who speak about Bill are bad to associate with | May 19 11:45 |
| schestowitz-TR | the other day's bill's guardian posted a provocative headline | May 19 11:45 |
| schestowitz-TR | I think the PR strategy is to associate all the critics with anttio-vaxxers | May 19 11:45 |

| schestowitz-TR | only the chat page in gemini was not updating | May 19 11:52 |
| schestowitz-TR | as it relies on the ddos protection loop (bad design, I know) | May 19 11:52 |
| schestowitz-TR | those should be two separate jobs, not hooked together like this | May 19 11:53 |
| schestowitz-TR | the walmart aftermath (amazon and target aftershocks, too) will be interesting | May 19 11:55 |
| schestowitz-TR | tesco yesterday did not have many people | May 19 11:55 |
| schestowitz-TR | and the discount section was "too" popular | May 19 11:55 |
| schestowitz-TR | asda car park (walmart uk) was also quite vacant | May 19 11:55 |
| schestowitz-TR | shopping stopped (standstill), sports still go on, but they're just a show for the masses | May 19 11:55 |

| schestowitz-TR | those who can afford porch time | May 19 12:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | 1) some are too stressed to do it | May 19 12:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | 2) some caught up in a job they hate 9-5 | May 19 12:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | I am still trying to lower our expenses a bit | May 19 12:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | then I can calculate a bunch of things | May 19 12:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | I really don't want to do this job full time | May 19 12:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | rianne does it part time and no longer likes it either | May 19 12:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | "This is Day 2 of "balcony sitting" - sitting out on my balcony all day, in the nice Spring weather, hammering away text on my | May 19 12:17 |

| schestowitz-TR | sometimes people realise life isn't just about "making money" | May 19 12:18 |
| schestowitz-TR | but usually they realise it when it's too late | May 19 12:18 |
| schestowitz-TR | and they run out of time/clock | May 19 12:18 |
| Techrights-sec | ack | May 19 12:20 |
| schestowitz-TR | I've just customised the xfce clock to show things more neatly with a calendar next to it | May 19 12:20 |
| schestowitz-TR | so I don't have to click on things to study weather, calendar etc. | May 19 12:20 |
| schestowitz-TR | cavan backup is OK now, I had to turn off firewall in kde neon | May 19 12:20 |
| schestowitz-TR | the scenario I am not prepared for is house fire | May 19 12:20 |
| schestowitz-TR | offsite backups have their own risk | May 19 12:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | leave with company, risk corporations and gov. | May 19 12:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | leave with a friend, worry how nosy the friend may be | May 19 12:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | I used to give a disk without the wires | May 19 12:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | and if it's ext and the friend uses Windows, snooping is extra hard | May 19 12:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | the problem is, during house move there was a loss | May 19 12:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | he does not know where it is now, but it was misplaced internally rather than stolen | May 19 12:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | so that in itself carries risk | May 19 12:22 |

| Techrights-sec | LUKS is probably adequate encryptioon for that | May 19 12:23 |
| schestowitz-TR | yes, but that is a very large capacity and an old drive | May 19 12:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | even if discovered now, it might not mount | May 19 12:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | like my other drive, which 2 weeks ago I turned into a brick to hold up my monitor | May 19 12:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | tbh, those 300gb drives are very small by today's standards | May 19 12:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | so they're contained (copied onto) the newer 3tb drives | May 19 12:25 |
| Techrights-sec | If yout have incremental backups for any period of time, you'll need at least | May 19 12:27 |
| Techrights-sec | 1TB or 2TB per collection / site. | May 19 12:27 |
| Techrights-sec | They're under 70 EUR for 2TB nowadays | May 19 12:27 |
| schestowitz-TR | all those posers in gulagtube wqith their home nas | May 19 12:27 |
| schestowitz-TR | and nas company-sponsored spam ("video") | May 19 12:27 |
| schestowitz-TR | they never mention offsite | May 19 12:27 |
| schestowitz-TR | 10 drives in a rack burn just as fast as one inside a laptop | May 19 12:27 |
| schestowitz-TR | (rianne cooking lasange at the moment, we got many paste sheets for 10p per pack; I think we save about | May 19 12:29 |
