| schestowitz-TR | At around 4:10 I said ipfs worked ok and went to slkep. Did I miss soemthing here? | Sep 21 09:45 |
|---|---|---|
| Techrights-sec | Not much. The script on your end needs some tweaking, I think since | Sep 21 09:48 |
| Techrights-sec | it disconnects as fast as it logs in. | Sep 21 09:48 |
| Techrights-sec | The RMS video is /still/ transcoding and will likely go another 2 or 3 hours | Sep 21 09:48 |
| Techrights-sec | at the projected rate. | Sep 21 09:48 |
| schestowitz-TR | thanks. It will be good to have it. | Sep 21 09:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | regarding scripts, I never thought much about them until publishing them in git, so most are dirty hacks. Last night I improved the script for updating gemini index for new articles and also automated a couple of things for videos. We're becoming more efficient, little by little... | Sep 21 09:50 |
| Techrights-sec | The news talks about vaccine availability in developing countries and | Sep 21 09:51 |
| Techrights-sec | goes on quite a bit about costs, but none to-date have mentioned the | Sep 21 09:51 |
| Techrights-sec | patent burden. Nor have they mentioned the public money origin of them. | Sep 21 09:51 |
| schestowitz-TR | I thought abotu doung another response to UPC misinfo, but then ... argh... it's likr broken radio. In "other links" there are more subjects we could cover | Sep 21 09:52 |
| Techrights-sec | With the scripts, it is best to write something quick and get it to work. | Sep 21 09:53 |
| Techrights-sec | Then rewrite it from scratch as a note to your future self so that | Sep 21 09:53 |
| Techrights-sec | it will be easy to read and figure out. | Sep 21 09:53 |
| schestowitz-TR | yes, what I like about git now is that it maintains all the history, so no code is gone, just shelved | Sep 21 09:53 |
| Techrights-sec | Code is read many more times than it is written so the ROI for clean, | Sep 21 09:54 |
| Techrights-sec | readable code is quite high. | Sep 21 09:54 |
| Techrights-sec | I can't test any of the IPFS scripts so I think I will leave them alone for now. | Sep 21 09:54 |
| schestowitz-TR | ipfs turns out to not scale well. also, iirc it's still alpha or similar. I want to invest in it assuming it matures further. I tried to reach the person who introduced it to us... not only is his email address not valid anymore... the domain is down too | Sep 21 09:55 |
| Techrights-sec | :( I hope he's ok still. | Sep 21 09:57 |
| Techrights-sec | Is he available via mastodon or diaspora? | Sep 21 09:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | absolutely not, and IRC is in flux after freenode collapsed. The freenode site was offline yesterday. | Sep 21 09:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | he is too smart to use social control media and IRC he only used with proxies and pseudonyms | Sep 21 09:58 |
| Techrights-sec | a | Sep 21 09:58 |
| Techrights-sec | When was the last contact? | Sep 21 09:58 |
| schestowitz-TR | almost half a year ago | Sep 21 09:58 |
| Techrights-sec | Ouch. | Sep 21 09:59 |
| Techrights-sec | The binaries have not been updated since Nov 2020. | Sep 21 10:11 |
| Techrights-sec | Patching is long overdue. | Sep 21 10:11 |
| Techrights-sec | Personally, while positively inclined towards IPFS, I have no enthusiasm for | Sep 21 10:11 |
| Techrights-sec | it in its current state. | Sep 21 10:11 |
| schestowitz-TR | it is extremely inefficient | Sep 21 10:11 |
| Techrights-sec | yes among other things it needs traffic shaping | Sep 21 10:21 |
| schestowitz-TR | a bitcoin of "content" | Sep 21 10:22 |
| Techrights-sec | maybe not that bad. bitcoin is only bad. IPFS still has some good aspects. | Sep 21 10:23 |
| schestowitz-TR | after breakfast I will record a thing or two, maybe gemini stuff again, I have 5 clients of it open atm | Sep 21 10:24 |
| schestowitz-TR | btw, mozilla managed to also screw up encryption on rianne's laptop. the incompetence makes me miss enigmail | Sep 21 10:25 |
| Techrights-sec | Gemini has been good so far. Just the bug with the large file handling is | Sep 21 10:26 |
| Techrights-sec | a major problem. | Sep 21 10:26 |
| Techrights-sec | Yes, at least enigmail functioned unlike what Mozilla is trying. But | Sep 21 10:31 |
| Techrights-sec | Mozilla has been very hostile to e-mail in general for many years. So | Sep 21 10:31 |
| Techrights-sec | it would not be beyond them to take the low road and be passively undermining | Sep 21 10:31 |
| Techrights-sec | what's left until more people leave it. | Sep 21 10:31 |
| schestowitz-TR | no irc, no email, what will be left? zoom and whatsapp? "apps" and "clown"? | Sep 21 10:32 |
| schestowitz-TR | maybe mozilla's firefox blog can do a blog post about charlie the shoemaker, who found firefox and uses POCKET to keep links of his favourite FACEBOOK posts... with some "tweets" thrown into the blog post | Sep 21 10:33 |
| Techrights-sec | Electron "apps" | Sep 21 10:34 |
| Techrights-sec | The after effects of the mistake of teaching javascript in the schools is | Sep 21 10:34 |
| Techrights-sec | making their presence felt. | Sep 21 10:34 |
| Techrights-sec | we've already seen those damaged by M$ interaction designing software interfaces | Sep 21 10:42 |
| Techrights-sec | and in recent years we've seen those damaged by social control media's | Sep 21 10:42 |
| Techrights-sec | "engagement" paradigm designing software interfaces. Soon those that have lost | Sep 21 10:42 |
| Techrights-sec | almost the entirity of their formative hours to social control media | Sep 21 10:42 |
| Techrights-sec | will enter the work force. They won't know enough to catch up nor do those | Sep 21 10:42 |
| Techrights-sec | that are slightly older. So they'll advance chronologically to their age | Sep 21 10:42 |
| Techrights-sec | of responsibility empty handed in the skill and experience deparment except | Sep 21 10:42 |
| Techrights-sec | for a bucket of bad ideas and worse habits. | Sep 21 10:42 |
| Techrights-sec | How many under 25 use the Internet let alone have even vague idea of what | Sep 21 10:42 |
| Techrights-sec | it is? | Sep 21 10:42 |
| schestowitz-TR | says that better than I ever could ^^ | Sep 21 10:43 |
| schestowitz-TR | even git is apparently beyond comprehension now, even though we all used cvs and svn in CS, so people are pushed to Web UIs that are going to render code obsolete and offer no real skill, just GUI memorisation | Sep 21 10:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | now, sysadmin= AWS GUI "certi", and LF pushes this crap as "upskilling" for "clown" | Sep 21 10:44 |
| Techrights-sec | It's been on my mind today, since I am starting to not be able to avoid | Sep 21 10:45 |
| Techrights-sec | running into the effects. | Sep 21 10:45 |
| Techrights-sec | AWS and the others are basically proprietary and certainly non-standard. | Sep 21 10:45 |
| Techrights-sec | transcoding complete: | Sep 21 10:46 |
| Techrights-sec | real 317m45.967s | Sep 21 10:46 |
| Techrights-sec | user 918m28.874s | Sep 21 10:46 |
| Techrights-sec | sys 3m16.311s | Sep 21 10:46 |
| Techrights-sec | now to double check the result | Sep 21 10:46 |
| schestowitz-TR | there's no way to compare the videos, but if you upload you can get hashes on both sides | Sep 21 10:47 |
| schestowitz-TR | I partly automated this for my uploads, which happen concurrently with transcoding to save time | Sep 21 10:47 |
| Techrights-sec | The beginning missed a few seconds but its too much CPU time to redo. | Sep 21 10:48 |
| Techrights-sec | It's all there otherwise: see -excerpt-1.webm | Sep 21 10:51 |
| Techrights-sec | (uploading now) | Sep 21 10:51 |
| Techrights-sec | The transcoding took about 5 h 20 m for that long a clip. | Sep 21 10:51 |
| schestowitz-TR | yes, that makes sense for 2 or 4 desktop/laptop ores | Sep 21 10:52 |
| schestowitz-TR | *cores | Sep 21 10:52 |
| Techrights-sec | 12 cores but I did not check to see how many were utilized. | Sep 21 10:53 |
| schestowitz-TR | better to nice it if you also do work on the same machine and if the images in the video are high res because I think it does GPU stuff a lot | Sep 21 10:53 |
| Techrights-sec | It did not interfere with anything noticeably but did run the fan the whole | Sep 21 10:57 |
| Techrights-sec | time. | Sep 21 10:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | yes, same here, it offloads a lot to VPU or whatever it's called | Sep 21 10:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | spamnil did some videos for microsoft yesterday. iirc, he spent like $15,000 on some apple crap he needs to reboot every day, just to encode his videos | Sep 21 10:58 |
| Techrights-sec | :( | Sep 21 11:00 |
| Techrights-sec | I haven't run into any of his work in ages but suppose he is still out there | Sep 21 11:00 |
| Techrights-sec | and still a sellout. | Sep 21 11:00 |
| schestowitz-TR | rianne and I get amused watching the view counts in his youtube channel, it's really embrassingly low | Sep 21 11:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | we're talking about something like 5 views per day on the first week for most videos, maybe average 10. for first week. | Sep 21 11:02 |
| Techrights-sec | I'm not sure why anyone would watch him at all. As a say-for-pay stenographer | Sep 21 11:04 |
| Techrights-sec | he has no credibility among most of the public. And those that pay him | Sep 21 11:04 |
| Techrights-sec | aren't going to listen to him, since they know what he has been paid to say. | Sep 21 11:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | exactly. the site onece known as muktware and themukt is not just a mildly edited press releases mill/farm | Sep 21 11:05 |

| *psydroid2 (~psydroid@eitv7zet4whwy.irc) has joined #boycottnovell | Sep 21 11:53 | |
| Techrights-sec | excellent | Sep 21 11:56 |
| schestowitz-TR | it is a one liner, copies is to the pi, which in turns gets copies into laptop, then to external disks | Sep 21 11:56 |
| schestowitz-TR | but main blidn spot of the backups is the sites, esp. the file system | Sep 21 11:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | sorry about many typos | Sep 21 11:57 |
| Techrights-sec | I back up the data from TR, but have not tested the restoration for a few | Sep 21 12:01 |
| Techrights-sec | years now. | Sep 21 12:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | sometimes I get copies of the latest TR-WP and TM DBs, just in case of disaster, but file system backups are few a year and exclude videos. With my connection it does not scale well. One GB takes hours. | Sep 21 12:02 |
| Techrights-sec | It takes a few minutes here. | Sep 21 12:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | I'm preocessing a new video now, I think we can also be first to post the RMS talk in a free format | Sep 21 12:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | the video shows only the gemi url in intro and doesn't involve web browsers. the goal is to show you can get stuff without www | Sep 21 12:07 |
| Techrights-sec | It'd be an improvement if more sites used free formats by default. | Sep 21 12:08 |
| Techrights-sec | It seems to be going the other direction even though it hurts the sites | Sep 21 12:08 |
| Techrights-sec | pushing the proprietary formats. I suspet that many top managers cannot | Sep 21 12:08 |
| Techrights-sec | get their minds around the idea of royalty-free formats and actually | Sep 21 12:08 |
| Techrights-sec | hate the idea of not paying. zero-sum-gamers | Sep 21 12:08 |
| schestowitz-TR | remember how those who built their stuff with adobe flash ended up... | Sep 21 12:08 |
| Techrights-sec | Yep. The same will / is playing out with the other proprietary formats. | Sep 21 12:16 |
| Techrights-sec | It's costly all the way around but that appears to be the goal of many, | Sep 21 12:16 |
| Techrights-sec | even if it self-harms. | Sep 21 12:16 |
| schestowitz-TR | this is also why many old news sites are online now | Sep 21 12:16 |
| schestowitz-TR | *offline | Sep 21 12:16 |
| Techrights-sec | Unfortunately I saw one site that converted /to/ Adobe Flash already | Sep 21 12:17 |
| Techrights-sec | after the EOL was announced. The victims had outsourced the development | Sep 21 12:17 |
| Techrights-sec | to M$ Accenture... | Sep 21 12:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | they bleed themselves to death and only the vampires enjoy that | Sep 21 12:18 |
| Techrights-sec | /media/TechRights01 932G 476G 52% | Sep 21 12:20 |
| Techrights-sec | Near as I can figure it is that they seem to expect that by intentionally losing | Sep 21 12:20 |
| Techrights-sec | now they will somehow through that be maneuvered into a position to win later. | Sep 21 12:20 |
| Techrights-sec | Magical thinking. | Sep 21 12:20 |
| schestowitz-TR | now with covid there are many unemployed, redundant suits. Let's hope it lasts a while longer and weeds them out as an occupation | Sep 21 12:21 |
| Techrights-sec | One can hope, but the suits tend to proliferate even as they bleed a company | Sep 21 12:23 |

| schestowitz-TR | thanks, that's published now and we're first to put that in free formats afaik | Sep 21 14:48 |
| Techrights-sec | Full-Talk-Richard-Stallman_Free-Software-and-the-GNU-General-Public-License.webm | Sep 21 14:54 |
| Techrights-sec | is not quite the full talk | Sep 21 14:54 |
| Techrights-sec | It's the main part but not the fussing at the beginning or the TED video | Sep 21 14:54 |
