| schestowitz-TR | I am doing a post or at least draft of going part time (or less) | May 24 10:43 |
| schestowitz-TR | choosing my worfs carefully, assuming I might post it before a decion is made | May 24 10:43 |
| schestowitz-TR | but writing about them is like badmouthing amish on live tv | May 24 10:43 |
| Techrights-sec | ack | May 24 11:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | the company is so incapable of attracting talent now | May 24 11:08 |
| schestowitz-TR | I told them so | May 24 11:08 |
| schestowitz-TR | not just salary | May 24 11:08 |
| schestowitz-TR | but also the tooling | May 24 11:08 |
| schestowitz-TR | so we outsource to associates, who cost a lot per hour as they are casual | May 24 11:08 |
| schestowitz-TR | and it's draining the budget | May 24 11:08 |
| schestowitz-TR | but such ais the nature of brain drain | May 24 11:08 |
| schestowitz-TR | as the smart people leave the core of the operatings turns into a sumpster fire | May 24 11:08 |
| schestowitz-TR | and this dupster fire repels potential joiners | May 24 11:08 |
| schestowitz-TR | both as clients (unless you like to them) and worker (they see what's inside, even if you lie to them) | May 24 11:08 |
| Techrights-sec | I think the tooling even more than the salaries drive away talent from even considering working there | May 24 11:08 |
| Techrights-sec | as menionted, and as shown in studies, when you outsource enough, there is no | May 24 11:08 |
| Techrights-sec | reason for talent to stay interested, so people leave, as people leave, the | May 24 11:08 |
| Techrights-sec | skilled people have no peers and over time all of them move on | May 24 11:08 |
| schestowitz-TR | tldr death spiral | May 24 11:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | and then they ask technical people to make up for staff vacuums | May 24 11:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | for tasks that do not suit their skillset | May 24 11:14 |
| Techrights-sec | of sorts, yes | May 24 11:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | just chatted about this in the kitchen | May 24 11:24 |
| schestowitz-TR | the metaphor is a sinking ship and you choosing to stay on deck before it won't be submerged fully for a while | May 24 11:24 |
| schestowitz-TR | rianne wants to check other jobs | May 24 11:24 |
| schestowitz-TR | but I told her to be meticilous so as to maintain her technical skills | May 24 11:24 |
| Techrights-sec | ack | May 24 11:24 |
| schestowitz-TR | I have a legit question | May 24 11:29 |
| schestowitz-TR | from a mareketability [sic] perspective | May 24 11:29 |
| schestowitz-TR | what is the true difference between resigning and going down with the ship so to speak | May 24 11:29 |
| schestowitz-TR | I heard things about that, but I don't know if they're untrue | May 24 11:29 |
| Techrights-sec | Again, I would check with the labor union representative for your union and | May 24 11:36 |
| Techrights-sec | maybe with your union's lawyer(s). In many countries if you leave on your own | May 24 11:36 |
| Techrights-sec | the company owes you nothing but if they turn you out the door there are | May 24 11:36 |
| Techrights-sec | obligations from both them and the government for a short period of time, | May 24 11:36 |
| Techrights-sec | usually. So that is also one of the reasons so many companies try to make | May 24 11:36 |
| Techrights-sec | life hell for remainin employees so that they go out th edoor on their own | May 24 11:36 |
| Techrights-sec | the trend for decades has been that of increasing contempt | May 24 11:37 |
| schestowitz-TR | I've long felt it was a myth based on the notion of pride rather than one's demonstration of willingness to stay | May 24 11:37 |
| schestowitz-TR | and help even when time gets rough (plus, job hopping is off-putting to some who recruit) | May 24 11:37 |
| schestowitz-TR | the condept of loyalty to one's employer etc. | May 24 11:37 |
| schestowitz-TR | as you note, the method of causing edundancies without compensation is preached by HR firms | May 24 11:37 |
| schestowitz-TR | our company now hires one | May 24 11:37 |
| schestowitz-TR | and you can see the wording they use | May 24 11:37 |
| schestowitz-TR | it's designed to make it seem OK | May 24 11:37 |
| Techrights-sec | HR is a hostile group working against the employees. Don't speak to them ever, | May 24 11:48 |
| Techrights-sec | if possible and certainly not a word more than necessary if you have to speak | May 24 11:48 |
| Techrights-sec | with them. | May 24 11:48 |
| schestowitz-TR | working against the "resources" | May 24 11:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | anyway, another domension here is naturalisation | May 24 11:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | active employment for 9 years and letter from employer can hlp a lot | May 24 11:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | come this summer | May 24 11:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | so joj-hopping would have a hidden cost | May 24 11:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | nationality will likely matter a lot worse when SHTF, which is pretty much a present, not a future | May 24 11:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | based on what my sister says, the US is already a former soviet union | May 24 11:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | it's a place to leave, not immigrate to | May 24 11:50 |

| schestowitz-TR | it can start this summer, preparation and all | May 24 12:11 |
| schestowitz-TR | I think factors like these include durations | May 24 12:11 |

| Techrights-sec | ok | May 24 17:56 |
| Techrights-sec | ack | May 24 17:56 |
| Techrights-sec | might want to be clear in Moodle v Azue, which is the surveillanceware | May 24 17:59 |
| Techrights-sec | the part about the NDA needs expansion for context | May 24 17:59 |
| schestowitz-TR | everything ON Azure becomes surveillanceware | May 24 17:59 |
| schestowitz-TR | even if the php does not intend for it to be | May 24 17:59 |
| schestowitz-TR | aws for that matter | May 24 17:59 |
| schestowitz-TR | but for that we're guilty too | May 24 17:59 |
| schestowitz-TR | we outsourced even the vpn to aws | May 24 17:59 |
| Techrights-sec | yes, that's true but could be expounded upon in a coupl of words for those | May 24 18:00 |
| Techrights-sec | less familiar with Moodle. Moodle is great but many outside education have | May 24 18:00 |
| Techrights-sec | not worked with it or else maybe even used it without knowing that tghey | May 24 18:00 |
| Techrights-sec | were using it | May 24 18:00 |
| schestowitz-TR | we should rename mickeymouseIT.com (US) | May 24 18:00 |
| Techrights-sec | putting a VPN on AWS renders the VPN pointless, furthermore, the VPN itself | May 24 18:04 |
| Techrights-sec | is a failed paradigm and M$ oriented. A return to "Zero Trust" is what's needed | May 24 18:04 |
| Techrights-sec | not crunch-on-the-outside / soft-on-the-inside weak network architecture | May 24 18:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | the vpn is mostly being used to lock out former stuff, and vice versa | May 24 18:06 |
| schestowitz-TR | but then again, proper use of openldap (as before), maybe with puppet in the mix, would | May 24 18:06 |
| schestowitz-TR | enable the same bu better | May 24 18:06 |
| schestowitz-TR | accounts are already scattered all over the place and outsourced to companies | May 24 18:06 |
| schestowitz-TR | with NSA on their lap | May 24 18:06 |
| schestowitz-TR | This reminds me of Mark's book on teaching cybersecurity | May 24 18:06 |
| schestowitz-TR | I'm not a pro/expert, but come on... | May 24 18:06 |

| Techrights-sec | Changing group membership in OpenLDAP should have reduced access and then | May 24 18:28 |
| Techrights-sec | the suspending or removing of the account from Kerberos ought to have done | May 24 18:28 |
| Techrights-sec | the rest | May 24 18:28 |
| Techrights-sec | neither basic nor advanced stuff is taught (or used) any more. Just reselling | May 24 18:28 |
| Techrights-sec | M$ crap or immitating the defective crap out of Redmond if not using it directly | May 24 18:28 |
| schestowitz-TR | it is tricker when dealing with clients' systems that have their own generic login credentials | May 24 18:30 |
| schestowitz-TR | and sometimes no firewalls | May 24 18:30 |
| schestowitz-TR | the better ones would add accounts on a per-user basis | May 24 18:30 |
| schestowitz-TR | we got caught out a few times | May 24 18:30 |
| schestowitz-TR | failing to remove accounts of people who had left | May 24 18:30 |
| schestowitz-TR | and iirc, vpn was not required for access either | May 24 18:30 |
| schestowitz-TR | but we go around falunting "iso" | May 24 18:30 |
| schestowitz-TR | all that was... tick some boxes | May 24 18:30 |
| schestowitz-TR | they don't even check anything | May 24 18:30 |
| schestowitz-TR | iso itself is a joke | May 24 18:30 |
| schestowitz-TR | rianne knows it since she was younf | May 24 18:30 |
| schestowitz-TR | because she saw the processes of granting iso stamp | May 24 18:30 |
| Techrights-sec | ISO certification and just about any "IT" certification is mostly a joke | May 24 18:31 |
| schestowitz-TR | "we have no skilled staff, we can loan some upon demand, but L@@k, we have this piece of paper" | May 24 18:52 |
| schestowitz-TR | I did not ask too many questions, but I assume we pursued this only because of the NHS (post hoc) and we hired | May 24 18:55 |
| schestowitz-TR | engineers enternally to do the engineering because you cannot pay engineers so little to work overnight on programming | May 24 18:55 |
| schestowitz-TR | tasks. As NOC, I refuse to do such work; that is another tariff | May 24 18:55 |
| schestowitz-TR | anyway, that piece of paper is not of much use, it only proves one thing: that we spent monies on some piece of paper | May 24 18:55 |

| schestowitz-TR | lol at dilbert cartoon | May 24 18:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | also lol at having to access and to access tls exception for about a dozen different domains just to see a stupid jpeg | May 24 18:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | *and to accept | May 24 18:57 |

| Techrights-sec | ack | May 24 18:59 |
| Techrights-sec | worse, it should be PNG or GIF due to the color palette | May 24 18:59 |
| Techrights-sec | they'd save a little storage and a *lot* of bandwidth that way | May 24 18:59 |
| -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-Certification Comic Strips - Page 2 | Dilbert by Scott Adams | May 24 18:59 | |
| schestowitz-TR | I did not check the format, but seems a lot of the overhead of user-side like having to run a ton of script and make like 100 c | May 24 19:00 |
| schestowitz-TR | onnections | May 24 19:00 |
| schestowitz-TR | and for them, there's lots of cruft that goes with the image | May 24 19:00 |
| schestowitz-TR | plus technical debt it all addsa | May 24 19:00 |
| schestowitz-TR | *adds | May 24 19:00 |
| Techrights-sec | that too | May 24 19:02 |
| Techrights-sec | I stand corrected, they are GIF, that is good and appropriate for the content | May 24 19:02 |
| schestowitz-TR | media: mp3 is dead (software patents' expiry) | May 24 19:03 |
| schestowitz-TR | media: gif is dead (because some person died) | May 24 19:03 |
| Techrights-sec | many companies only use the formats *because* they were patent encumbered, | May 24 19:03 |
| Techrights-sec | probably as part ofthe Zero Sum Game religion | May 24 19:03 |
| schestowitz-TR | there is tat percewption spread by Steve Blows and the likes of him | May 24 19:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | that only what you pay for is legally safe | May 24 19:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | so using ogg means uncertainty and that there will be some "patent pool" | May 24 19:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | Phipps still talks about these issues, but today's OSI is clueless and incompetent | May 24 19:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | Piana is OK and it's good he and another person joined the board | May 24 19:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | but a principal in that board is full-time microsofter | May 24 19:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | who cancels them out | May 24 19:06 |
| schestowitz-TR | along with OSI bribes from MSFT AND GitHub | May 24 19:06 |
| Techrights-sec | from here it looks only like they can't get their minds aroudn the idea | May 24 19:07 |
| Techrights-sec | of an open standard | May 24 19:07 |
| schestowitz-TR | sorry for suddent change of subject | May 24 19:12 |
| schestowitz-TR | it gets sunny now, contrary to the weather | May 24 19:12 |
| schestowitz-TR | maybe not warm enough | May 24 19:12 |
| schestowitz-TR | but I now realise that my current seyup is problematic in the sense that if I take out the door just one laptop I miss a lot of | May 24 19:12 |
| schestowitz-TR | components such as irc, ytalk, my main browser with browsing history (for references) and then the monitoring parts | May 24 19:12 |
| schestowitz-TR | even if I just wantto tyype an article in the sun, for references I need to put "LLL" (means link) instead of retreiveing them | May 24 19:12 |
| schestowitz-TR | later in summaer this can become an issue | May 24 19:12 |
| schestowitz-TR | (the door to the back yard is 1.5 meters from me | May 24 19:12 |
| schestowitz-TR | ) | May 24 19:12 |
| schestowitz-TR | *two doors | May 24 19:12 |

| schestowitz-TR | [19:16] <ciphrCat> that DDG-related tweet I mentioned earlier now has an article for it → https://www.reviewgeek.com/118915/duckduckgo-isnt-as-private-as-you-thought/ | May 24 19:18 |
| schestowitz-TR | [19:16] [Notice] -TechrightsBot-tr to #techrights- www.reviewgeek.com | DuckDuckGo Isn’t as Private as You Thought – Review Geek | May 24 19:18 |
| schestowitz-TR | maybe you know this already, but the posts we did on DDG were likely read hundreds of thousands of timea already | May 24 19:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | they are among the more popular ones | May 24 19:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | even years down the line | May 24 19:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | (mostly because so few losers out there bother writing about this) | May 24 19:22 |
| Techrights-sec | ack | May 24 19:23 |
| Techrights-sec | I had not checked. That's excellent news | May 24 19:23 |
| schestowitz-TR | if msm started writing about rick allen jones and about ddg, they would outrank us | May 24 19:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | same for epo | May 24 19:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | yet worse, there's a real risk they would promote straw men | May 24 19:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | to discredit all sceptics of ddg | May 24 19:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | side story, last night I spent almost 30 mins deleting comment spam in schestowitz.com | May 24 19:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | at first I thought it was that yorkshare "medicalk" shit I filed a complaint about last year | May 24 19:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | trying to derank those pages | May 24 19:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | by shoving endless link spam | May 24 19:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | but later I convinced myself this was very improbable | May 24 19:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | based on other patterns I saw | May 24 19:25 |
| Techrights-sec | ack | May 24 19:26 |
| schestowitz-TR | there are upsides and downsides | May 24 19:27 |
| schestowitz-TR | to see the downsides, recall what happened last feb. when you discovered what raspi had done since jan 25th iirc | May 24 19:27 |
| schestowitz-TR | and how the media was all over this | May 24 19:27 |
| schestowitz-TR | nobody even mentioned your discovery | May 24 19:27 |
| schestowitz-TR | ecept the official raspi os site (before the rename) | May 24 19:27 |
| Techrights-sec | yes | May 24 19:27 |
| schestowitz-TR | the media and "influencers" of gulagb00b slanted the discovery in a pro-Microsoft slanted way | May 24 19:29 |
| schestowitz-TR | a bunch of talking points that gave "acceptability" to what Microsoft had been doing to raspi since 2015 when it tried to | May 24 19:29 |
| schestowitz-TR | shoehorn vista onto these boards | May 24 19:29 |
| schestowitz-TR | risking their bloating, up-speccing to suit the wrong system | May 24 19:29 |
| Techrights-sec | ack | May 24 19:30 |
| Techrights-sec | spinmeisters | May 24 19:30 |
| Techrights-sec | they've changed attack methods against RPF and are now on the board | May 24 19:30 |
| Techrights-sec | that is not the end move however and they are causing deadly trouble there | May 24 19:30 |
| Techrights-sec | but it will take a while (and be too late byt then) to see publicly what they | May 24 19:30 |
| Techrights-sec | are up to. | May 24 19:30 |
| schestowitz-TR | you told me they had paid through large magazine ads | May 24 19:32 |
| schestowitz-TR | I tried to open, I think I gave up, but I trust that it's there | May 24 19:32 |
| schestowitz-TR | recen tly I saw a new 'article' about putting Vista 11 on a pi | May 24 19:32 |
| schestowitz-TR | but, to b e fair, I think we caused enough 'damange' that for 14 mon ths now they've | May 24 19:32 |
| schestowitz-TR | not run any microsoft 'ads' in the official raspi blog, which is in "merged" | May 24 19:32 |
| schestowitz-TR | so I hope there is an internal mental note/memo about publicly shilling | May 24 19:32 |
| schestowitz-TR | what their key customer base and enthusiasts hate deeply | May 24 19:32 |
| schestowitz-TR | last time, based on the publication pattern, they were likely subjected to some secret contracts | May 24 19:35 |
| schestowitz-TR | or binding agreement of doing scripted blog posts | May 24 19:35 |
| schestowitz-TR | "times two" (x2) | May 24 19:35 |
| schestowitz-TR | and then some other promotions | May 24 19:35 |
| schestowitz-TR | and adding the repo | May 24 19:35 |
| schestowitz-TR | once this deal was "completed" they sought no similar "partnership" | May 24 19:35 |
| schestowitz-TR | between 2015 and 2021 there were 6 years | May 24 19:35 |
| schestowitz-TR | so let's hope the bailout money of "Sleepy Joe" and "Cheeto" runs out | May 24 19:35 |
| schestowitz-TR | before Microsoft has "defence" budget funneled into it and then into Welsh companies | May 24 19:35 |
| Techrights-sec | they run a lot of defacto ads for M$ in various articles and blogs | May 24 19:35 |
| schestowitz-TR | I do not see these anymore, or barely/rarely | May 24 19:36 |
| Techrights-sec | ack | May 24 19:38 |
| Techrights-sec | I see them a lot more and more | May 24 19:39 |
| schestowitz-TR | I mostly judge by what I see | May 24 19:40 |
| schestowitz-TR | a) blog content (not sidebars) | May 24 19:40 |
| schestowitz-TR | b) search results related to this | May 24 19:40 |
| schestowitz-TR | 3) some aggregators like lxer | May 24 19:40 |
| schestowitz-TR | last time I saw microsoft promotion was them was about 14 months ago | May 24 19:40 |
| schestowitz-TR | asheley | May 24 19:40 |
| schestowitz-TR | I responded in video | May 24 19:40 |
