schestowitzThere's no other way unless I upload that stuff to another machine, maybe a guest account on yours. Or if you configure to wget/curls that bit from some URL I upload it to. I still that might still take just as long.Nov 21 02:51

schestowitzI think one of the weakness of the FOSS movement is the lack of non-tech people. As long as FOSS can be tied to being “just a computer nerd thing”, a lot of people will dismiss it because they aren’t tech people. To them, it’s not a matter of being able to review the source code, it’s which tech people do they trust to review it for them; and they end up trusting the tech companies who have products everywhere.Nov 21 17:38

schestowitzShort story, that's just not how IPFS works. It's inherently not a hypertext, click-pressing thing. There are some HTTP gateways, but they're sort of centralised, which beats the point. I refined the script and sample output has been added to http://techrights.org/2020/11/21/irc-log-201120/Nov 21 22:30
schestowitzI hope it renders OK for the next batch, automatically. Need to double check those 8 links (yes, 8) to the text versions (4 times two, image and text anchor for each).Nov 21 22:30
schestowitzI'm trying to think how to further improve those things. We can lower server load is people pick static pages, cruft-free. It's not like we push ads or something... or sell data.Nov 21 22:30

schestowitzWell, I think that we can conclude that my powers of prediction are very strong indeed. On 2 November 2020, I stated that:Nov 21 22:54
schestowitz“we can already predict with 100% confidence what the responses will be, namely “Everything is in order. Nothing to see here”. We can also be certain that the responses will amount to nothing more than hand-waving, smoke and mirrors and half truths”.Nov 21 22:54
schestowitzWell, the answers provided by the German government match this prediction PRECISELY. My personal favourite is the answer provided in connection with questions regarding the absence of a cost-benefit analysis for the UPC and the possible impact upon SMEs. This is because the government’s “excuse” for not conducting any analysis is that they were happy to rely upon two prior “studies” that were conducted … in 2009!Nov 21 22:54
schestowitzThe trouble with this is that, back in 2009, the legislation relating to unitary patents was COMPLETELY different. This is because the flavour of the day back then was the ECPC. That proposed system was struck down by the CJEU as being incompatible with EU law. Thus, unsurprisingly, the provisions of the UPC Agreement look rather different. There is also the matter that neither of the 2009 studies includes anything close to a Nov 21 22:54
schestowitzcomprehensive cost-benefit analysis.Nov 21 22:54
schestowitzThus, the German government’s “excuse” for not conducting a full cost-benefit analysis is effectively that other people did some “back of a fag packet” calculations more than a decade ago in connection with a proposed legal system that was really quite different to what we have now.Nov 21 22:54
schestowitzWell, in the face of such compelling reasoning, I am sure that no one will doubt any of the government’s other assertions, such as:Nov 21 22:54
schestowitz“The compatibility of the UPCA with the Basic Law, in particular the fundamental rights, as well as with Union law was comprehensively examined”; andNov 21 22:54
schestowitz“The federal government does not see any further constitutional deficits”.Nov 21 22:54
schestowitzI mean, there is no way on earth that these statements could be viewed as being deliberately misleading, right?Nov 21 22:54
