| schestowitz-TR | I've just assessed space usage on the pi | Jun 19 00:17 |
|---|---|---|
| schestowitz-TR | it seems in terms of space f(disk) footprint ipfs also becomes quite bloated | Jun 19 00:18 |
| schestowitz-TR | over 5GB now | Jun 19 00:18 |
| schestowitz-TR | for about 800MB of actual data shared | Jun 19 00:18 |
| schestowitz-TR | in addition to being CPU and bandwidth pig | Jun 19 00:18 |
| schestowitz-TR | Maybe a future implementation can tackle that | Jun 19 00:18 |

| Techrights-sec2 | I'm not keen on IPFS, just Gemini | Jun 19 05:48 |
| Techrights-sec2 | I've not listened to Titus for a year or so | Jun 19 05:48 |
| Techrights-sec2 | he said relevant things so seldom that it has not bee worth even checking | Jun 19 05:48 |
| Techrights-sec2 | on the titles of his videos IMHO | Jun 19 05:48 |
| schestowitz-TR | titus makes it seem like ipfs is all for "crypto" crankery | Jun 19 05:48 |
| schestowitz-TR | he said he would avoid saying blockchain and web3 | Jun 19 05:48 |
| schestowitz-TR | but then he goes on to promote other "bro" stuff | Jun 19 05:48 |
| schestowitz-TR | draft | Jun 19 05:51 |
| schestowitz-TR | summary leftr blank | Jun 19 05:51 |
| schestowitz-TR | as I probably need to highlight some more points | Jun 19 05:51 |
| Techrights-sec2 | ack | Jun 19 05:51 |
| Techrights-sec2 | by the way, where are the Comes v Microsoft exhibits on TR? | Jun 19 05:51 |
| Techrights-sec2 | I looked for aout 10 minutes and could not dig any complete list up | Jun 19 05:51 |
| schestowitz | https://antitrust.slated.org/www.iowaconsumercase.org/index.html | Jun 19 05:52 |
| -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-antitrust.slated.org | Comes v. Microsoft | Jun 19 05:52 | |
| schestowitz-TR | do you look for an index of all the files? | Jun 19 05:53 |
| Techrights-sec2 | I was looking for one | Jun 19 05:54 |
| Techrights-sec2 | yes I found the slated.org site but I though that there was an archive | Jun 19 05:54 |
| Techrights-sec2 | at TR too or did I misunderstand / misremember? | Jun 19 05:54 |
| schestowitz-TR | we kept selected and important ones | Jun 19 05:55 |
| schestowitz-TR | might be a good idea to keep a complete mirror on one of your drives | Jun 19 05:55 |
| schestowitz-TR | in case all those other mirrors go offline | Jun 19 05:55 |
| schestowitz-TR | which will inevitably happen one day | Jun 19 05:55 |
| Techrights-sec2 | ok it might be important to say right out on the relevantpages that only | Jun 19 05:56 |
| Techrights-sec2 | a few important ones have been archived | Jun 19 05:56 |
| Techrights-sec2 | a TR mirror might be good, though i'm not sure it is easy to get it all | Jun 19 05:58 |
| Techrights-sec2 | from Groklaw any more | Jun 19 05:58 |
| Techrights-sec2 | most of their pages are broken so even though the PDFs (and many transcriptions) | Jun 19 05:58 |
| Techrights-sec2 | are available there still discovering them would be a challenge | Jun 19 05:58 |
| schestowitz-TR | or we could create a mirror, space is not a contraint anymore and bandwidth for backup is a bit better | Jun 19 06:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | I reckon the total is roughly a couple of gigs | Jun 19 06:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | and we can host it under some directory | Jun 19 06:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | then make an index for them first in gemini and then html | Jun 19 06:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | how to scrape all these pages (I could contatc keith for ssh copy, but doubt he would replied; we've not talked in other a decade) | Jun 19 06:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | would be up to you | Jun 19 06:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | I'm sure there is a way | Jun 19 06:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | *over a decade | Jun 19 06:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | if "Grouch" from Groklaw could wget the whole site in 2006 or thereabouts, it should not be hard to scrape from slated in 2022 | Jun 19 06:01 |
| Techrights-sec2 | if he is still available, that would be great | Jun 19 06:01 |
| Techrights-sec2 | http://groklaw.net/staticpages/index.php?page=ComesExhDate | Jun 19 06:01 |
| Techrights-sec2 | that might have them | Jun 19 06:01 |
| -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-groklaw.net | Groklaw - Comes v. Microsoft Exhibits by Date | Jun 19 06:01 | |
| schestowitz-TR | it is not an urgent task, but if you're up for it I guess we could even scrape groklaw's descriptions of the PDFs | Jun 19 06:02 |
| schestowitz-TR | and make a better complete index of everything | Jun 19 06:02 |
| schestowitz-TR | where it's easy to pin down stuff | Jun 19 06:02 |
| Techrights-sec2 | ok | Jun 19 06:09 |
| Techrights-sec2 | s/teh/the/ | Jun 19 06:09 |
| Techrights-sec2 | M$ pretending to be a victim is a separate topic from M$ pretending to be a | Jun 19 06:09 |
| Techrights-sec2 | security authority; the pretending to be a security authority is the greater | Jun 19 06:09 |
| Techrights-sec2 | harm and should be featured / addressed first; but in either case the should be | Jun 19 06:09 |
| Techrights-sec2 | in separate paragraps so they can be addressed separately | Jun 19 06:09 |
| Techrights-sec2 | same for the bad engineering, that should be higher up and more prominent | Jun 19 06:09 |
| Techrights-sec2 | IMO | Jun 19 06:09 |
| schestowitz-TR | thanks, digesting and trying to make a powerful summary baed on this | Jun 19 06:10 |

| Techrights-sec2 | ack | Jun 19 06:32 |
| schestowitz-TR | thanks for the help | Jun 19 06:33 |
| schestowitz-TR | I need to come up with more topics to cover | Jun 19 06:33 |
| schestowitz-TR | now that gulag noise wastes no time | Jun 19 06:33 |
| schestowitz-TR | it's also where a lot of this FUD comes from | Jun 19 06:33 |
| schestowitz-TR | without it, that's a lot less visible | Jun 19 06:33 |
| schestowitz-TR | we are discussing this atm: | Jun 19 06:33 |
| schestowitz-TR | -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights- www.bleepingcomputer.com | This browser extension lets you remove specific sites from search results | Jun 19 06:34 |
| schestowitz-TR | <schestowitz_TR> maybe the wrong approach | Jun 19 06:34 |
| schestowitz-TR | to mask away the real issue | Jun 19 06:34 |
| schestowitz-TR | sites like bleepingcompute appearing in "search" | Jun 19 06:34 |
| schestowitz-TR | the site is connected to Microsoft | Jun 19 06:34 |
| schestowitz-TR | and spreads a lot of misinformation | Jun 19 06:34 |
| schestowitz-TR | Gulag Noise indexes it | Jun 19 06:34 |
| schestowitz-TR | as "news'; | Jun 19 06:34 |
| schestowitz-TR | which in turn helps Microsoft propagands spread | Jun 19 06:34 |
| schestowitz-TR | so one approach is to shun the search engines that promote i | Jun 19 06:34 |
| schestowitz-TR | not to mask away those results :-) | Jun 19 06:34 |
| schestowitz-TR | <AdmFubar> now you rid the search results of the propaganda sites | Jun 19 06:34 |
| schestowitz-TR | <-- Skywave has quit (connection closed) | Jun 19 06:34 |
| schestowitz-TR | --> Skywave (~SkywaveC3@qiahibkh2iwka.irc) has joined #techrights | Jun 19 06:34 |
| schestowitz-TR | <AdmFubar> A form of catnip for Chinese bears would cause pandamoanium ;) | Jun 19 06:34 |
| Techrights-sec2 | np | Jun 19 06:36 |
| Techrights-sec2 | google does poorly as a search engine any more | Jun 19 06:36 |
| Techrights-sec2 | yes garbage sites are ranked high in the search results | Jun 19 06:36 |
| Techrights-sec2 | and at the same time many other sites appear to not even have been indexed | Jun 19 06:36 |
| schestowitz-TR | honest question to you: | Jun 19 06:38 |
| schestowitz-TR | is there a way around all those so-called search engines and centralised 'international' encyclopedia | Jun 19 06:38 |
| schestowitz-TR | where dissenting views are "trolls" and "fake news"? | Jun 19 06:38 |
| schestowitz-TR | and, if so, can we promote these and should we? | Jun 19 06:38 |
| schestowitz-TR | the web became a lot worse than mainstream broadcast | Jun 19 06:38 |
| schestowitz-TR | in that it divides people, spreads lies, both for cranks and for oligarchs | Jun 19 06:39 |
| schestowitz-TR | broadcast TV at least tried to keep sociwety together; same for radio | Jun 19 06:39 |
| Techrights-sec2 | the search engines have become bottlenecks for the WWW | Jun 19 06:39 |
| Techrights-sec2 | the only alternative would be to build a new search engine and that | Jun 19 06:39 |
| Techrights-sec2 | requires massive, costly infrastructure. It'd basically mean running one's | Jun 19 06:39 |
| Techrights-sec2 | own data center just to get started, and you can be sure that M$ and Google | Jun 19 06:39 |
| Techrights-sec2 | will do all in their power to prevent a new search engine from gaining market | Jun 19 06:39 |
| Techrights-sec2 | share | Jun 19 06:39 |
| schestowitz-TR | china dns russia tried, to name two large nations (baidu, yandex), but they are being outspent by a country 31,000 billion in debt. | Jun 19 06:40 |
| Techrights-sec2 | yes good points about radio and television, they also made a point about | Jun 19 06:41 |
| Techrights-sec2 | sticking to facts, at least pre-Newsmax, pre-FauxNews days. Now | Jun 19 06:41 |
| Techrights-sec2 | too much is about opinions (sides). | Jun 19 06:41 |
| Techrights-sec2 | yandex is gone baidu never was | Jun 19 06:41 |
| Techrights-sec2 | ddg was a fraund or sham | Jun 19 06:41 |
| Techrights-sec2 | startpage is underpowered | Jun 19 06:41 |
| schestowitz-TR | startpage is NOT a search engine | Jun 19 06:43 |
| schestowitz-TR | it's an imposter | Jun 19 06:43 |
| schestowitz-TR | the same company, system1, also scooped up the old search brands, inc. ones I liked and used like webcrawler | Jun 19 06:43 |
| schestowitz-TR | tell me when you see ddg and startpage bots in our logs ;-) ;-) | Jun 19 06:43 |
| schestowitz-TR | they inherit the bias, the censorship, from us military contractors that push proprietary software and survewillance | Jun 19 06:43 |
| schestowitz-TR | for mopstly imperiaal geopolitical goals, thinly disguised as "science" | Jun 19 06:43 |
| Techrights-sec2 | it is that too but even as an imposter it is underpowered | Jun 19 06:45 |
| Techrights-sec2 | ack | Jun 19 06:45 |
| schestowitz-TR | (of note: rising energy prices threaten the viability of many cpu-intensive companies/operations, never mind supply chain shortages for | Jun 19 06:45 |
| schestowitz-TR | equipment, raising demand and prices of such equipment) | Jun 19 06:45 |
| Techrights-sec2 | yes | Jun 19 06:45 |
| Techrights-sec2 | which is one of the secondary reasons they've been moving datacenters into | Jun 19 06:45 |
| Techrights-sec2 | the nordic countries near either hydroelectric stations or nuclear plants or | Jun 19 06:45 |
| Techrights-sec2 | both | Jun 19 06:45 |
| schestowitz-TR | my pov: ('radical') | Jun 19 06:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | f* search engines | Jun 19 06:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | they are inefficient and biased | Jun 19 06:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | it's like the "crypto" bros | Jun 19 06:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | but with a suit and a tie | Jun 19 06:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | and cartoons that greet you, or bing "wallpaper of the day" | Jun 19 06:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | we need stuff like dmoz | Jun 19 06:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | rss | Jun 19 06:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | maybe even planets derived from rss | Jun 19 06:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | still a lot better than random and biased searches | Jun 19 06:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | an index of daily things | Jun 19 06:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | where you can scan for patterns | Jun 19 06:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | atm we accmulate thousands of gemini links, about 80 each day | Jun 19 06:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | later we can run programs on these | Jun 19 06:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | and maybe use some algo to organise these by topics | Jun 19 06:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | cat /othercapsules/* | cut [get title field] | grep [something witty] | Jun 19 06:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | those would take just seconds to run | Jun 19 06:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | and can make genre pages | Jun 19 06:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | without human intervention of data-mining | Jun 19 06:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | that's just to give one example | Jun 19 06:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | not the DMOZ approach | Jun 19 06:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | DMOZ itself was curated by humans, which meant bias of a different kind | Jun 19 06:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | many wanted desperattely to be in DMOZ and PageRank was partly calculated based on DMOZ status, IIRC | Jun 19 06:50 |
| Techrights-sec2 | the problem is not just daily discovery but location and retrieval of documents | Jun 19 06:51 |
| Techrights-sec2 | which are many years old | Jun 19 06:51 |
| Techrights-sec2 | Yahoo was too, until it was targeted by M$ and destroyed by a minion | Jun 19 06:51 |
| schestowitz-TR | finding older documents is already possible, BUT | Jun 19 06:53 |
| schestowitz-TR | few use the correct tools | Jun 19 06:53 |
| schestowitz-TR | such as PubMed | Jun 19 06:53 |
| schestowitz-TR | the kids are taught "just gulag it" or "gulag is your friend" | Jun 19 06:53 |
| schestowitz-TR | so they choose to go through a middleman and filter | Jun 19 06:53 |
| schestowitz-TR | which is not good | Jun 19 06:53 |
| schestowitz-TR | sites do have search facilities, ours included | Jun 19 06:53 |
| schestowitz-TR | tuxmachines and wordpress searches are quite decent | Jun 19 06:53 |
| schestowitz-TR | mediawiki search is not so decent, but maybe that improved | Jun 19 06:53 |
| Techrights-sec2 | I disagree, it is all but impossible to find older documents especially if they | Jun 19 06:53 |
| Techrights-sec2 | are more than a few years old | Jun 19 06:53 |
| Techrights-sec2 | Google does not have the older documents or else refuses to show them, | Jun 19 06:53 |
| Techrights-sec2 | even when one is going after a known item | Jun 19 06:53 |
| Techrights-sec2 | Being trained to go through the filter is only about getting them to accept | Jun 19 06:53 |
| Techrights-sec2 | the culling that Google does and inure them to further censorship in additional | Jun 19 06:53 |
| Techrights-sec2 | forms | Jun 19 06:54 |
| schestowitz-TR | I don't diagree, I think we say most the same things in different ways | Jun 19 06:55 |
| schestowitz-TR | another observation is, the incentive to make good cms-level search is reduced by the fact that | Jun 19 06:55 |
| schestowitz-TR | few people bother with them | Jun 19 06:56 |
| schestowitz-TR | on android, starting point is often so-called 'search' or "OK Gulag" (record my surroundings and listen to my mind, hear me out, yo!) | Jun 19 06:56 |
| schestowitz-TR | so PubMed and similar sites are beholden to the beast in pe4ople's pockets | Jun 19 06:56 |
| Techrights-sec2 | yes the CMS-level searches are poorly implemented and use plain strings | Jun 19 06:56 |
| Techrights-sec2 | rather than stemming or other linguistic tricks; thus they tend to steer | Jun 19 06:56 |
| Techrights-sec2 | sites to Google instead but Google will not index their whole site :/ | Jun 19 06:56 |
| schestowitz | http://schestowitz.com/iuron/ | Jun 19 06:57 |
| -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-schestowitz.com | Iuron - Semantic Knowledge Engine | Jun 19 06:57 | |
| schestowitz | 2005, it was a hot topic back then | Jun 19 06:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | we've moved not into semantics but brute force with map-reduce | Jun 19 06:59 |
| schestowitz-TR | also, we might want to point out environmental footprints | Jun 19 06:59 |
| schestowitz-TR | to get people off these platforms | Jun 19 06:59 |
| schestowitz-TR | that worked against "crypto" bros | Jun 19 06:59 |
| schestowitz-TR | Amazon keeps its DC locations secret | Jun 19 06:59 |
| schestowitz-TR | so we don't know the full extent of the pollution | Jun 19 06:59 |
| schestowitz-TR | or the inventories indoors | Jun 19 06:59 |
| schestowitz-TR | gemini reduces the waste at server and client side | Jun 19 06:59 |
| Techrights-sec2 | there was also YaCy | Jun 19 07:00 |
| Techrights-sec2 | client-side javascript is an environmental disaster | Jun 19 07:00 |
| Techrights-sec2 | yes gemini is good in that respect and in other areas too | Jun 19 07:00 |
| schestowitz-TR | yacy = chicken and egg problem | Jun 19 07:02 |
| schestowitz-TR | also, js makes crawling the web hard if not impossible | Jun 19 07:02 |
| schestowitz-TR | maybe harder than crawling flash | Jun 19 07:02 |
| schestowitz-TR | with activescript and js you cannot even LINK to some pertinent bits | Jun 19 07:02 |
| schestowitz-TR | thw whole concept of interlinked pages breaks down | Jun 19 07:02 |
| schestowitz-TR | with "for each x there's a file" | Jun 19 07:02 |
| schestowitz-TR | or "each thing you read is an address or "id" | Jun 19 07:02 |
| Techrights-sec2 | that is one of the intended side effects of js, imho | Jun 19 07:04 |
| Techrights-sec2 | yep | Jun 19 07:04 |
| Techrights-sec2 | s/breaks down/is prevented/ | Jun 19 07:04 |
| Techrights-sec2 | similar for the addictive infinite scrolling pages those are f-ing useless | Jun 19 07:04 |
| Techrights-sec2 | for anything other than wasting time in an interactive session | Jun 19 07:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | we should explain to people, "look..." | Jun 19 07:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | the web USED to be for web page | Jun 19 07:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | the web is NOT for web pages | Jun 19 07:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | not anymore | Jun 19 07:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | so we need a platform for web pages | Jun 19 07:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | the web will go crazy in that other nasty trajectory | Jun 19 07:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | good luck with that | Jun 19 07:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | zero-days and millions of lines of craft and wasted b/w and spying and... | Jun 19 07:04 |
| Techrights-sec2 | it'd be like trying to epxlain colors to a blind person | Jun 19 07:05 |
| Techrights-sec2 | yep | Jun 19 07:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | notice how in irc we can do a lot of creative stuff, inc. linking to line | Jun 19 07:06 |
| schestowitz-TR | Twitter USED to be like that | Jun 19 07:06 |
| schestowitz-TR | Now it's like Slack | Jun 19 07:06 |
| schestowitz-TR | bloated, shitty, focuses on "engagement" | Jun 19 07:06 |
| schestowitz-TR | slack "features": now we have BROWN hand thumbs up emoji and you can press "like" | Jun 19 07:07 |
| Techrights-sec2 | slack is about tracking worker communication for management. | Jun 19 07:08 |
| Techrights-sec2 | you'd have to check into what kind of special UI it has for managers to | Jun 19 07:08 |
| Techrights-sec2 | track even the "private" messages between employees. | Jun 19 07:08 |
| Techrights-sec2 | By the way, when Slack is named, I still think of http://www.slackware.com/ | Jun 19 07:08 |
| Techrights-sec2 | and not the proprietary spyware piggybacking on the name/trademark/servicemark | Jun 19 07:08 |
| -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-The Slackware Linux Project | Jun 19 07:08 | |

| schestowitz-TR | when handlinging toxic material use a suitable bin | Jun 19 07:10 |

| Techrights-sec2 | the summary is really vague though, which lines? | Jun 19 08:20 |
| Techrights-sec2 | thanks | Jun 19 08:22 |
| Techrights-sec2 | The summary ought to have something about M$ money or membership | Jun 19 08:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | I was concerned about the tone | Jun 19 08:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | it's more about the visual | Jun 19 08:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | I changed the title | Jun 19 08:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | as you suggested | Jun 19 08:23 |
| schestowitz-TR | sounds softer | Jun 19 08:23 |
| schestowitz-TR | less "shock value" | Jun 19 08:23 |
| schestowitz-TR | is the point about Microsoft now covered in the image below the summary? | Jun 19 08:23 |
| schestowitz-TR | I even added the MSFT logo to make it clear what people are seeing | Jun 19 08:23 |
| Techrights-sec2 | I tend not to look at the images since they do not render in Gemini | Jun 19 08:23 |
| schestowitz-TR | I noticed that in poems | Jun 19 08:24 |
| schestowitz-TR | the conversion to gemini flattens the verses | Jun 19 08:24 |
| schestowitz-TR | not sure if an easy fix exists for that | Jun 19 08:24 |
| schestowitz-TR | it's the same in daily links when there are poem-style articles | Jun 19 08:24 |
| Techrights-sec2 | is there some structural markup around such text to indicate that it can | Jun 19 08:34 |
| Techrights-sec2 | be processed differently? | Jun 19 08:34 |
| Techrights-sec2 | ok, if an indicator can be added then the post can be processed appropriately | Jun 19 08:45 |
| Techrights-sec2 | but if it has only the same markup as everything else the it will accordingly | Jun 19 08:45 |
| Techrights-sec2 | be processed in the same way as everything else | Jun 19 08:45 |
| Techrights-sec2 | <pre class="poem"> | Jun 19 08:45 |
| Techrights-sec2 | or anything else different | Jun 19 08:45 |

| schestowitz-TR | better contrarian: the govenment only cares for big businesses by acting like this is just another flu | Jun 19 16:28 |
