|---|---|---|
| Techrights-sec | it is now in the group adm | Sep 24 00:27 |
| schestowitz-TR | thanks, i am working on the po stuff atm | Sep 24 00:27 |
| schestowitz-TR | *epo | Sep 24 00:27 |
| Techrights-sec | systemd's goal is non-technical: the decommodification of the distros | Sep 24 00:39 |
| Techrights-sec | a la The Halloween Documents but with IBM this time around rather than only M$ | Sep 24 00:39 |
| Techrights-sec | by the way, it might be a good idea to revisit the Halloween Documents next | Sep 24 00:39 |
| Techrights-sec | month. It being October plus what's going on with systemd combine to make | Sep 24 00:39 |
| Techrights-sec | a strong reason. | Sep 24 00:39 |
| Techrights-sec | I'm noticing that even though robots.txt has "Crawl-delay: 10" the "binbot" | Sep 24 00:39 |
| Techrights-sec | and a few others seem to be really bothering tm-new. I have not checked to | Sep 24 00:39 |
| Techrights-sec | see if they are constantly re-downloading the same pages again and again | Sep 24 00:39 |
| Techrights-sec | but at first glance the rate at which they are harvesting implies that. | Sep 24 00:39 |
| Techrights-sec | Should we turn on mod_ratelimit for the bot's addresses? | Sep 24 00:39 |
| Techrights-sec | Or use the option of tc with queuing for the bot's addresses? | Sep 24 00:39 |
| schestowitz-TR | bear with me while i finish the epo staff, avoiding multitasking.. | Sep 24 00:56 |
| schestowitz-TR | *stuff | Sep 24 00:56 |
| schestowitz-TR | ok, draft ready | Sep 24 00:56 |
| schestowitz-TR | catching up with ytalk | Sep 24 00:56 |
| schestowitz-TR | wanna spot-check? | Sep 24 00:56 |
| schestowitz-TR | systemd is not the only thing to cause such issues, but it's a large example of it | Sep 24 00:56 |
| schestowitz-TR | I can think of seveal more, inc. some from Canonical | Sep 24 00:56 |
| schestowitz-TR | now with LP at Microsoft and WSL marketing with new slant (systemd) we can point to the Hal Docs | Sep 24 00:56 |
| schestowitz-TR | and show what that means | Sep 24 00:56 |
| schestowitz-TR | probably a big task | Sep 24 00:56 |
| schestowitz-TR | regarding bots, I've not chjecked logs, except that time I mentioned numbers 1-2 weeks ago | Sep 24 00:56 |
| schestowitz-TR | just grepped for shtml and rss/xml | Sep 24 00:56 |
| Techrights-sec | checking | Sep 24 00:57 |
| Techrights-sec | The opening sentence in the summary is confusing. | Sep 24 00:57 |
| Techrights-sec | "The Central Staff Committee of the European Patent Office (EPO)" could be the | Sep 24 00:57 |
| Techrights-sec | start and then leave the "EPO" acronym in the rest. | Sep 24 00:57 |
| Techrights-sec | The second paragraph probably alludes to harassment, bullying, or other illegal | Sep 24 00:57 |
| Techrights-sec | behavior. It would be good to be more specific. "toxic male" is not | Sep 24 00:57 |
| Techrights-sec | a legally actionable fault AFAIK unless it involves an illegal behavior | Sep 24 00:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | right, i will clarfy | Sep 24 00:58 |
| schestowitz-TR | she used a different term, which i quote | Sep 24 00:58 |
| schestowitz-TR | staff remembers what she said | Sep 24 00:58 |
| schestowitz-TR | even many years later | Sep 24 00:58 |
| Techrights-sec | And a word or two about the significance of the two HTML parts would help: | Sep 24 00:58 |
| Techrights-sec | why should the public be interested? | Sep 24 00:58 |
| schestowitz-TR | handing over at work atm (1am) | Sep 24 01:00 |
| schestowitz-TR | i got 1.5 hours left till cutoff (bulletin) | Sep 24 01:00 |
| schestowitz-TR | will reword a bit | Sep 24 01:00 |
| schestowitz-TR | I assumer you saw no typos/layout issues | Sep 24 01:00 |
| schestowitz-TR | it was my first pass | Sep 24 01:00 |
| Techrights-sec | I was looking for the topic and theme | Sep 24 01:00 |
| schestowitz-TR | catching typos as welkl helps | Sep 24 01:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | it's the hioghest priority in blogs, then in irc bot, then informal irc chat | Sep 24 01:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | as people nitpick on such stuff | Sep 24 01:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | to change the subject | Sep 24 01:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | and resort to ad hom | Sep 24 01:01 |
| Techrights-sec | ack | Sep 24 01:05 |
| Techrights-sec | Speaking of bots again, here are some data that bingbot is running amok: | Sep 24 01:05 |
| Techrights-sec | % awk '/bingbot/ && $7~/^\/n\// {a[$7]++} END { for (u in a) {if(a[u]>0){print a[u], u;} } }' /var/log/apache2/tuxmachines.org.access.log | sort -rn | Sep 24 01:05 |
| Techrights-sec | (the >0 can be tuned to a higher threshold) | Sep 24 01:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | thanks, will leave this to you | Sep 24 01:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | am doing handover | Sep 24 01:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | will amend epo article after that | Sep 24 01:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | then do a meme | Sep 24 01:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | btw, did you watch the video on excesss deaths? | Sep 24 01:05 |
| Techrights-sec | In other ways, one can see that those are all GET requests and not HEAD or | Sep 24 01:06 |
| Techrights-sec | if-modified-since requests | Sep 24 01:06 |
| Techrights-sec | No, I usually can't get to the videos lately. | Sep 24 01:06 |
| Techrights-sec | I do check the accompanying text though. | Sep 24 01:06 |
| schestowitz-TR | tl;dr: across europe exxcess deaths soar this past summer | Sep 24 01:08 |
| schestowitz-TR | and nobody is explaining why | Sep 24 01:08 |
| Techrights-sec | Ok, I'll think about tc or mod_ratelimit and which is less difficult in the | Sep 24 01:08 |
| Techrights-sec | long run. | Sep 24 01:08 |
| Techrights-sec | Yes. There are many. It gets covered over. | Sep 24 01:08 |

| schestowitz-TR | referee for rianne's application | Sep 24 01:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | he is the one who sent me this video | Sep 24 01:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | riane turns out to have watched his videos before | Sep 24 01:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | he's really causing a panic here in the regime | Sep 24 01:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | and the billBC had to do "rebuttals" | Sep 24 01:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | because he shows what the gov. is tryingf to dent | Sep 24 01:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | as I myself showed | Sep 24 01:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | rianne mentioned somem guy to me showing the same as me | Sep 24 01:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | but I did not know who he was | Sep 24 01:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | had not seen it till today | Sep 24 01:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | when mike mentioned him and sent me the link | Sep 24 01:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | the data does not lie _much_ | Sep 24 01:25 |
| *Noisytoot (~noisytoot@tkbibjhmbkvb8.irc) has joined #boycottnovell | Sep 24 01:26 | |
| Techrights-sec | Probably | Sep 24 01:28 |
| Techrights-sec | Statistics do not lie, only mislead. :/ | Sep 24 01:28 |
| Techrights-sec | A "recent" problem is that it is time-effective for clowns to mash the data | Sep 24 01:28 |
| Techrights-sec | through model after model, regardless of relevance, until they get the output | Sep 24 01:28 |
| Techrights-sec | they wanted rather than picking the relevant model and reading what it tells | Sep 24 01:28 |
| Techrights-sec | them about the data. | Sep 24 01:28 |
| schestowitz-TR | i pointed out many counterproints to mike | Sep 24 01:28 |
| schestowitz-TR | inc. how the excees is calculated | Sep 24 01:28 |
| schestowitz-TR | past 5 yearssd | Sep 24 01:28 |
| schestowitz-TR | so in 2022 we compare 2 covid years to 2 non-covid | Sep 24 01:28 |
| schestowitz-TR | and then average those | Sep 24 01:28 |
| schestowitz-TR | so you need the raw, absolute numbers | Sep 24 01:28 |
| schestowitz-TR | and I downloaded, then uploaded the reports for every year since about 15 years ago | Sep 24 01:28 |
| schestowitz-TR | to my site | Sep 24 01:28 |
| schestowitz-TR | and showed the relevant graphis | Sep 24 01:28 |
| schestowitz-TR | if there is push-back asna sense the public was misled | Sep 24 01:28 |
| schestowitz-TR | I will have all the data//.info at hand | Sep 24 01:28 |
| Techrights-sec | A rolling base point will make the curve look smaller as we progress into the | Sep 24 01:29 |
| Techrights-sec | third year of this pandemic. | Sep 24 01:29 |
| Techrights-sec | Pushback is not really possible because so many are pacified via social control | Sep 24 01:29 |
| Techrights-sec | media and that filters what they are 1) allowed to write, and 2) what they | Sep 24 01:29 |
| Techrights-sec | are allowed to read. | Sep 24 01:29 |
| Techrights-sec | I think using tc will allow the most flexibility, but it will take some time | Sep 24 01:29 |
| Techrights-sec | to plan it out properly. | Sep 24 01:29 |
| schestowitz-TR | I noticed thatt gulagtube sot of flagged his videos | Sep 24 01:31 |
| schestowitz-TR | adding links below it | Sep 24 01:31 |
| schestowitz-TR | to the "official" message | Sep 24 01:31 |
| schestowitz-TR | I guess they found no valid reason to outright ban him | Sep 24 01:31 |
| schestowitz-TR | like oither videos I saw of doctors who dissent | Sep 24 01:31 |
| schestowitz-TR | he clearly pisses off the powers that be | Sep 24 01:31 |
| schestowitz-TR | pbased on what rianne saw of him in billbc and gulagtube | Sep 24 01:31 |
| schestowitz-TR | of course he did not mentioon the v word even once in his video | Sep 24 01:31 |
| schestowitz-TR | prior to being able to watch his video | Sep 24 01:34 |
| schestowitz-TR | I was presented with TWO long ads | Sep 24 01:34 |
| schestowitz-TR | the first one I was not ablke to even skip | Sep 24 01:34 |
| schestowitz-TR | so I hit mute and looked away | Sep 24 01:34 |
| schestowitz-TR | then come the second one | Sep 24 01:34 |
| schestowitz-TR | I was only forced to watch firsdt 5 seconds | Sep 24 01:34 |
| schestowitz-TR | then had to manually intervene | Sep 24 01:34 |
| schestowitz-TR | lots of work just to watch some video, with some "flagging" below it | Sep 24 01:34 |
| schestowitz-TR | youtube is social control | Sep 24 01:34 |
| schestowitz-TR | and it started by flagging russian and chinese channels | Sep 24 01:34 |
| schestowitz-TR | later it kjust BANNED those channels | Sep 24 01:34 |
| schestowitz-TR | 'cox war' | Sep 24 01:34 |
| schestowitz-TR | *xcoz | Sep 24 01:34 |
| schestowitz-TR | now it does the same to british doctors | Sep 24 01:34 |
| schestowitz-TR | "coz" safety" | Sep 24 01:34 |
| schestowitz-TR | what he says is not unreasonable | Sep 24 01:34 |
| schestowitz-TR | but it upsets some firms | Sep 24 01:34 |
| schestowitz-TR | while bill gates PAYS YouTube | Sep 24 01:34 |
| schestowitz-TR | for many ads | Sep 24 01:34 |
| Techrights-sec | They could make up an excuse but anyone who is off-message gets flagged or | Sep 24 01:35 |
| Techrights-sec | banned. | Sep 24 01:35 |
| Techrights-sec | YouTube is about unusable anyway. I checked for the first time in months and | Sep 24 01:35 |
| Techrights-sec | there are 10x ads most of which are unskippable and then the comments are | Sep 24 01:35 |
| Techrights-sec | in some random, non-chronological sequence. Complete waste of time and I amd | Sep 24 01:35 |
| Techrights-sec | disappointed in any vloggers still feeding that platform. | Sep 24 01:35 |
| Techrights-sec | There is also the 'endless' scrolling or whatever it is called, which makes | Sep 24 01:35 |
| Techrights-sec | the unskippable videos worse because you cannot listen while skimming comments | Sep 24 01:35 |
| Techrights-sec | any more. | Sep 24 01:35 |

| schestowitz-TR | what i like about all this is, | Sep 24 01:41 |
| schestowitz-TR | 1) it's not going away or aging. we'll keep getting data, one way of another | Sep 24 01:41 |
| schestowitz-TR | 2) it shows web suppression/censorship in action | Sep 24 01:41 |
| schestowitz-TR | (gulag did not make it pleasant to acess this video) | Sep 24 01:41 |
| schestowitz-TR | 3) i said to rianne tonight, owing to working from home we likely dodged a bullet | Sep 24 01:41 |
| schestowitz-TR | either the virus or another aspects | Sep 24 01:41 |
| schestowitz-TR | my health has been fine throughout and we built some savings | Sep 24 01:41 |
| schestowitz-TR | also lowered bills | Sep 24 01:41 |
| schestowitz-TR | by next summer she might pursue the passport (next step) | Sep 24 01:41 |
| schestowitz-TR | though it's not clear how much she would use it | Sep 24 01:41 |
| schestowitz-TR | i last flew to germany (2018) | Sep 24 01:41 |
| Techrights-sec | #2 is very important but due to ongoing campaigns, including strawman whackdoodle crazies and kooks, it is hard to do | Sep 24 01:41 |
| Techrights-sec | Best to have the passport on hand anyway | Sep 24 01:41 |
| schestowitz-TR | after naturalisation | Sep 24 01:42 |
| schestowitz-TR | in 2010 flights were still ok compared to now | Sep 24 01:46 |
| schestowitz-TR | where they demand your phone | Sep 24 01:46 |
| schestowitz-TR | and I'm told now they want you to test, quarantine etc. | Sep 24 01:46 |
| schestowitz-TR | and then follow some strict rules on board | Sep 24 01:46 |
| schestowitz-TR | if you catch this one virus, you cannot fly back | Sep 24 01:46 |
| schestowitz-TR | and no refund for the missed flight | Sep 24 01:46 |
| schestowitz-TR | so why the fork would I even think of flying? | Sep 24 01:46 |
| schestowitz-TR | prices also went up by a LOT | Sep 24 01:46 |
| schestowitz-TR | i sometimes have unpleasant dreams where I cannot distance myself from people | Sep 24 01:46 |
| schestowitz-TR | and 3 years down the drain | Sep 24 01:46 |
| Techrights-sec | It's far worse than that, if I read correctly. There are worse conditions | Sep 24 01:51 |
| Techrights-sec | than ever before both onboard and in the airport. That goes double for | Sep 24 01:51 |
| Techrights-sec | the mistreatment of customers. | Sep 24 01:51 |
| schestowitz-TR | kjids have a warped sense of reality | Sep 24 01:58 |
| schestowitz-TR | and very selective memories | Sep 24 01:58 |
| schestowitz-TR | but from what I remember in the 80s (domestic) and early 90s (portgula, spain) | Sep 24 01:58 |
| schestowitz-TR | the flights weere pleasant and airports were just like bus stations with passports and shops (duty free) | Sep 24 01:58 |
| schestowitz-TR | the seats on the plane were good | Sep 24 01:58 |
| schestowitz-TR | meals were integral part of the journey | Sep 24 01:58 |
| schestowitz-TR | prices were still high (they should be; it discourages BS 'travel') | Sep 24 01:58 |
| schestowitz-TR | and service was like customer service | Sep 24 01:58 |
| schestowitz-TR | not kids' gloves | Sep 24 01:58 |
| schestowitz-TR | in the pedo sense, everyone a suspect | Sep 24 01:58 |
| schestowitz-TR | tat was after lockerbee and other attacks had shown risk | Sep 24 01:58 |
| schestowitz-TR | but reaction to them was not panic and oppression | Sep 24 01:58 |
| schestowitz-TR | 9/11 was one of several escalations | Sep 24 01:58 |
| schestowitz-TR | even "good" airports like copehagen suck | Sep 24 01:58 |
| schestowitz-TR | I never enjoyed airports | Sep 24 01:58 |
| schestowitz-TR | and they are as time-inefficient as the planes themselves | Sep 24 01:58 |
| schestowitz-TR | you often spend x2 times as much in and traveling to/from airports | Sep 24 01:58 |
| schestowitz-TR | than you spend onboard | Sep 24 01:58 |
| schestowitz-TR | what a shitty roi | Sep 24 01:58 |
| schestowitz-TR | i say i';d rather sit on a sofa at home | Sep 24 01:58 |
| schestowitz-TR | then be on a plane or in airport (or communing) | Sep 24 01:58 |
| schestowitz-TR | so there has to be very compelling reason to travel | Sep 24 01:58 |
| schestowitz-TR | like funeral | Sep 24 01:58 |
| schestowitz-TR | even to funerals I rarely fly | Sep 24 01:58 |
| schestowitz-TR | seems like a luxiry | Sep 24 01:58 |
| schestowitz-TR | luxury | Sep 24 01:59 |
| schestowitz-TR | in the days of cross-atlantic boat travel you could not travel fast enough to attend funerals | Sep 24 01:59 |
| schestowitz-TR | you used telegram or similar | Sep 24 01:59 |

| Techrights-sec | They have more contact hours per day with CCP's TikTok than they do with | Sep 24 02:00 |
| Techrights-sec | friends or family combined. Thus although they may speak English just fine | Sep 24 02:00 |
| Techrights-sec | they are not culturally British. That distorts their worldview further. | Sep 24 02:00 |
| Techrights-sec | Yes, in the 1980s and the 1990s, passengers were treated as valued customers | Sep 24 02:00 |
| Techrights-sec | instead of as paroled criminals. The prices are high, but not high enough | Sep 24 02:00 |
| Techrights-sec | to impair the real polluters: business travel. | Sep 24 02:00 |

| schestowitz-TR | not sure how well they do now | Sep 24 02:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | but the time getting TO the boat was long too | Sep 24 02:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | we took the coach, then had to cross a tunnel by taxi | Sep 24 02:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | smae in northern ireland | Sep 24 02:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | at least the time on the boat itself was almost ok | Sep 24 02:05 |
| Techrights-sec | ack | Sep 24 02:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | but still long waiting times | Sep 24 02:05 |

| Techrights-sec | Hmm. I had just forgotten a good topic based on recent news, aside from | Sep 24 09:28 |
| Techrights-sec | a revisit of the Halloween Document in the context of current events. | Sep 24 09:28 |
| schestowitz-TR | happens to me a lot | Sep 24 09:29 |
| schestowitz-TR | i need to write down more | Sep 24 09:29 |
| schestowitz-TR | you sometimes wrongly assume you'd remember later | Sep 24 09:29 |
| schestowitz-TR | and then "it's not so important anyway" | Sep 24 09:29 |
| schestowitz-TR | but time becomes available | Sep 24 09:29 |
| Techrights-sec | News deserts? | Sep 24 09:30 |
| Techrights-sec | PeppermintOS Devuan variant? | Sep 24 09:30 |
| schestowitz-TR | yeah, but what about it? | Sep 24 09:30 |
| Techrights-sec | General decommodification of protocols, i.e. mail protocols, and standards, | Sep 24 09:31 |
| Techrights-sec | i.e. HTTP | Sep 24 09:31 |
| Techrights-sec | HTTP/3 looks like it can't be run by normal programmers because it moves so | Sep 24 09:31 |
| Techrights-sec | much of what used to be covered by TCP up higher into the stack. As a side | Sep 24 09:31 |
| Techrights-sec | effect it blocks TCP-based proxies such as VPNs and specifically the Tor network | Sep 24 09:31 |
| schestowitz-TR | i don't know SPDY well enough except the basics | Sep 24 09:33 |
| schestowitz-TR | and I am guessing many others, except stenberg who must grasp it, cannot know either | Sep 24 09:33 |
| schestowitz-TR | we studied networking in a course 20+ years ago, inc. ipv6 | Sep 24 09:33 |
| schestowitz-TR | all this time later ipv4 is STILL predominant | Sep 24 09:33 |
| schestowitz-TR | and the promise of QC has not quite materialised | Sep 24 09:33 |
| Techrights-sec | It's not SPDY | Sep 24 09:34 |
| Techrights-sec | Exactly. The pool of people capable of managing it shrinks to what one | Sep 24 09:34 |
| Techrights-sec | can count on one hand. In the old days, with HTTP over TCP, writing a web | Sep 24 09:34 |
| Techrights-sec | server was basically considered the "Hello, World" of network service programming. | Sep 24 09:34 |
| Techrights-sec | IPv6 had lofty goals but was killed by over-engineering and complexity. | Sep 24 09:34 |
| Techrights-sec | Even Henning Brauer and his colleagues had headaches from it. | Sep 24 09:34 |
| schestowitz-TR | yes, that's the correct term | Sep 24 09:37 |
| schestowitz-TR | we see it outside the network stack too | Sep 24 09:37 |

| schestowitz-TR | and they tell us that plain-text email is the "hard" part | Sep 24 09:37 |

| schestowitz-TR | for 90%+ of the conditions | Sep 24 09:37 |
| Techrights-sec | By "helping" like helping restricted boot avoid scrutiny of the courts. | Sep 24 09:38 |
| Techrights-sec | I've been getting an increasing amount of javascript-laden web documents | Sep 24 09:38 |
| Techrights-sec | posing as e-mail, without an accompanying plaintext summary. So far those | Sep 24 09:38 |
| Techrights-sec | can be deleted without concern but I wonder for how much longer as Alphabet | Sep 24 09:38 |
| Techrights-sec | and M$ grab the last of e-mail. | Sep 24 09:38 |
| Techrights-sec | The work on restricted boot 1) helped M$ avoid the courts over such ongoing | Sep 24 09:39 |
| Techrights-sec | anti-competitive abuse of its OEM monopoly, 2) helped M$ gain control over | Sep 24 09:39 |
| Techrights-sec | the distros through Canonical using M$ key and not a general GNU/Linux keu | Sep 24 09:39 |
| Techrights-sec | or even a Ubuntu / Canonical key. | Sep 24 09:39 |

| schestowitz-TR | i am thinking how to fix the workflos and speed up publication | Sep 24 10:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | one approach is | Sep 24 10:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | make a share space for topics to cover in video | Sep 24 10:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | i find videos very helpful as initial outlet that then motivates to writes textual summary | Sep 24 10:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | but videos are better done in bulk | Sep 24 10:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | not one view with many topics in it | Sep 24 10:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | but pertinent bits, even short | Sep 24 10:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | yuou made about 3 topic suggestions | Sep 24 10:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | with links | Sep 24 10:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | in 2021 I managed to do about 3 videos a day | Sep 24 10:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | something then got in the way and I lost time, i think due to adding more rss feeds | Sep 24 10:22 |
| Techrights-sec | One file per topic, to avoid locking problems? Or set up some shared editor? | Sep 24 10:26 |
| Techrights-sec | IIRC you prefer to avoid Emacs even though it supports collaborative editing. | Sep 24 10:26 |
| schestowitz-TR | ytalk is like collaborative editing already | Sep 24 10:27 |
| schestowitz-TR | just need a way to mark topic to cover, even in 2 minutesd | Sep 24 10:27 |
| schestowitz-TR | like 3-minute rebuttal to the latest security FUD | Sep 24 10:27 |
| schestowitz-TR | i didn't cover any of the recent ones at all | Sep 24 10:27 |

| Techrights-sec | RSS / Atom feeds are very time-consuming to process, even though they are orders | Sep 24 10:31 |
| Techrights-sec | of magnitude faster to work with than raw HTTP/HTTPS. First there is the matter | Sep 24 10:31 |
| Techrights-sec | of topics covered within any given feed, that's fine, it's their feed. But it | Sep 24 10:31 |
| Techrights-sec | does take time to triage posts. Then once a post is triaged, it must be skimmed | Sep 24 10:31 |
| Techrights-sec | and the structure of each author and sometimes each post of each author | Sep 24 10:31 |
| Techrights-sec | has a different flow or structure making it impossible to have a shortcut | Sep 24 10:31 |
| Techrights-sec | method to skimming each. | Sep 24 10:31 |
| Techrights-sec | but with a very short cache | Sep 24 10:32 |

| schestowitz-TR | it's similar to companies that take vc money | Sep 24 12:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | or founders | Sep 24 12:58 |
| schestowitz-TR | they lose the ability to lead and to judge | Sep 24 12:58 |
| schestowitz-TR | russia uses national energy resources for political leverga | Sep 24 12:58 |
| schestowitz-TR | in the same way gulf states do | Sep 24 12:58 |
| schestowitz-TR | putin did this in belarus, not does this in eu and beyond | Sep 24 12:58 |
| schestowitz-TR | cheap energy? there are conditions | Sep 24 12:58 |
| Techrights-sec | Yes and Germany was warned for decades and, strangely, the US backed off on | Sep 24 13:01 |
| Techrights-sec | sanctions, allowing Nordstream2 to go ahead in spite of pretty much everyone | Sep 24 13:01 |
| Techrights-sec | seeing where it would lead to. I wonder how much overlap there is between | Sep 24 13:01 |
| Techrights-sec | the group of German politicians that pushed for the Nordstream2 and those | Sep 24 13:01 |
| Techrights-sec | that ensure that only M$ products are deployed in federal activities. | Sep 24 13:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | schroder? | Sep 24 13:06 |
| Techrights-sec | It was over the last 5 or so years. | Sep 24 13:07 |
| schestowitz-TR | yes, but gazprom board scandsals is not outdated | Sep 24 13:07 |
| Techrights-sec | The warnings were for decades before that too, but as things started coming to | Sep 24 13:08 |
| Techrights-sec | a head in recent years, the warnings had to increase in both frequency and | Sep 24 13:09 |
| Techrights-sec | loudness. Germany ignored all the "risks" | Sep 24 13:09 |
| Techrights-sec | Thinking about the long term attack against e-mail as a commodity service, | Sep 24 13:11 |
| Techrights-sec | most, nearly all, software development is coordinated using e-mail. Eliminating | Sep 24 13:11 |
| Techrights-sec | that will create chokepoints and crash efficients to a promille of what it is | Sep 24 13:11 |
| Techrights-sec | now. | Sep 24 13:11 |
| *DaemonFC has quit (Quit: Leaving) | Sep 24 13:12 | |
| Techrights-sec | Yes, proprietarty silos exist but they cannot spontaneously interact with other | Sep 24 13:13 |
| Techrights-sec | silos, the are not (technically) reliable nor secure/private, and have | Sep 24 13:13 |
| Techrights-sec | *very* inefficient proprietary interfaces restricted to very specific platforms. | Sep 24 13:13 |
| schestowitz-TR | in messaging, protocols exist or existed too | Sep 24 13:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | now there are many that are islands and proprietary | Sep 24 13:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | i still use the landline a lot | Sep 24 13:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | so-caled 'IT' proficiency makes sure workarounds exist and are used | Sep 24 13:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | but maybe not with "the enterprise" | Sep 24 13:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | so what's needed it better education | Sep 24 13:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | hacker culture | Sep 24 13:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | and stuff such as IRC | Sep 24 13:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | IRC != libera | Sep 24 13:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | libera has its own objectives, almost same staff as OFTC | Sep 24 13:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | or whatever the acronym was | Sep 24 13:15 |
| Techrights-sec | 'IT' has become a euphemism for an embedded M$ Sales team | Sep 24 13:15 |
| Techrights-sec | FSF should not touch Libera with a barge pole | Sep 24 13:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | too late now, i cationed rms about it and quoted his reply | Sep 24 13:16 |
| schestowitz-TR | same re billg in sept. 2019 | Sep 24 13:16 |
| Techrights-sec | Not too late, but certainly much less convenient than doing it right the first | Sep 24 13:16 |
| Techrights-sec | time. | Sep 24 13:16 |
| schestowitz-TR | fsf and gnu are now renting off the "intel agencies" of companies that seek to steal from the commons the way i see it, or just steal the commons | Sep 24 13:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | they did a token congrats to zoe when she was annnounced | Sep 24 13:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | a network-wide message was sent | Sep 24 13:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | but nothing pro-rms | Sep 24 13:17 |
| Techrights-sec | ack | Sep 24 13:19 |
| schestowitz-TR | i've not messaged him in month as meaningful exchanges with him are less probable | Sep 24 13:21 |
| schestowitz-TR | he is babysat by someone/s | Sep 24 13:21 |
| schestowitz-TR | it's obscene that gnu/linux continues to grow | Sep 24 13:21 |
| schestowitz-TR | this coming tue turning 39 | Sep 24 13:21 |
| schestowitz-TR | but the people who made it happen are stored inside a cupboard | Sep 24 13:21 |
| Techrights-sec | Yes, FSF could prepare a proper Freedom campaign during the coming year, | Sep 24 13:22 |
| Techrights-sec | with contingency plans for taking on Vista12 should the opportunity arise. | Sep 24 13:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | like the absoloute bat*** insane campaign of asking microsoft for windows source code | Sep 24 13:24 |
| schestowitz-TR | ans shipping them a HDD for it? | Sep 24 13:24 |
| schestowitz-TR | iirc, that was mattl idea | Sep 24 13:24 |
| schestowitz-TR | mostly legitimises windows | Sep 24 13:24 |
| schestowitz-TR | and makes it look like we are longing for openWINDOWS | Sep 24 13:24 |
| schestowitz-TR | that's not revolutionary | Sep 24 13:24 |
| schestowitz-TR | but it got a lot of attention from Microsoft 'news' (noise) sites | Sep 24 13:24 |
| schestowitz-TR | maybe because it sucked | Sep 24 13:24 |
| schestowitz-TR | they could instead say something for WINE and even reactOS (the latter is not a good idea either) | Sep 24 13:24 |
| Techrights-sec | Yes that any move to legitimize M$ or Windows is harmful to society not just | Sep 24 13:25 |
| Techrights-sec | software. ReactOS is interesting but less serious than TempleOS | Sep 24 13:25 |
| Techrights-sec | Either way, ReactOS does not do away with the technical shortcomings of | Sep 24 13:25 |

| schestowitz-TR | well, he's dead | Sep 24 13:42 |
| schestowitz-TR | like gary | Sep 24 13:43 |
| schestowitz-TR | died in a bar brawl or something | Sep 24 13:43 |
| schestowitz-TR | perfectly routine | Sep 24 13:43 |
| Techrights-sec | http://www.codersnotes.com/notes/a-constructive-look-at-templeos/ | Sep 24 16:26 |
| Techrights-sec | Kildall aparently tried to see a doctor but was sent home | Sep 24 16:26 |
| Techrights-sec | Ian Murdock did actually see a doctor but was beaten a second time at home. | Sep 24 16:26 |
| Techrights-sec | Dang that is going to be seven years ago already. | Sep 24 16:26 |
| Techrights-sec | Who knows what actually happene to him after that. He was ranting online | Sep 24 16:26 |
| Techrights-sec | that he was preparing a description of what had happened. Then he was dead. | Sep 24 16:26 |
| Techrights-sec | His family has been quiet about all that. | Sep 24 16:26 |
| schestowitz-TR | had a friend over for 3 hours, he is also rianne's referee | Sep 24 16:27 |
| schestowitz-TR | so fell behind schedule for the day | Sep 24 16:27 |
| schestowitz-TR | will still do videos later | Sep 24 16:27 |

| schestowitz-TR | seems likee a very familiar tactic | Sep 24 16:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | I've know him over 20 years | Sep 24 16:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | *known | Sep 24 16:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | he plans to break the world record this winter | Sep 24 16:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | across the road from us at the stadium | Sep 24 16:45 |
| schestowitz-TR | (over 50s) | Sep 24 16:45 |
| Techrights-sec | ack | Sep 24 16:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | turns out the jab ruined his kneww too | Sep 24 16:52 |
| schestowitz-TR | my two best friends here | Sep 24 16:52 |
| schestowitz-TR | both with knee issues because of astrozeneca and knee specialist blames it too | Sep 24 16:52 |
| schestowitz-TR | saying it was very commonplace | Sep 24 16:52 |
| schestowitz-TR | the media... silence | Sep 24 16:52 |
| Techrights-sec | ack | Sep 24 16:52 |
| Techrights-sec | Interesting and unfortunate. | Sep 24 16:52 |
| Techrights-sec | THe media is not quite silent, they amplify the strawman arguments and then | Sep 24 16:58 |
| Techrights-sec | use those to ridicule all dissent up to even merely questioning the approach | Sep 24 16:58 |
| Techrights-sec | chosen by the key pharmaceutical companies | Sep 24 16:58 |
| schestowitz-TR | I will varry on reporting what I see every eweek | Sep 24 17:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | in my own style, which is safe and factual | Sep 24 17:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | if the data becomes less available, less readily accessible, or less complete/reliable (they | Sep 24 17:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | did they several times already; changing defs and announcing "missing" past data) | Sep 24 17:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | then I will turn to alternative sources of data and use those | Sep 24 17:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | I always say, | Sep 24 17:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | it's hard to hide body/bodies or lies about the number of people who died | Sep 24 17:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | because death is a very significant event in one's "life"time | Sep 24 17:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | I also make local copies of many PDFs in my site | Sep 24 17:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | one day the original links will be broken | Sep 24 17:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | esp. if there is greater financial incentive to break them | Sep 24 17:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | and censoring british doctors who cite official data by deleting their youtube accounts won't be enough | Sep 24 17:01 |
| *starstreak (~starstreak@muarsy2vret2q.irc) has joined #boycottnovell | Sep 24 17:02 | |
| Techrights-sec | Changing the definitions and baselines are the most problematic and deceptive | Sep 24 17:02 |
| Techrights-sec | because it (intentionally) prevents tracking the situation over time. | Sep 24 17:02 |
| schestowitz-TR | told mike, it is AMAZING how, looking at old veideos of that same doctor yesterday/last nightm it turtned out we showed and said the SAQME thing | Sep 24 17:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | though I never watched him before | Sep 24 17:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | because we both ended up chasing death related data | Sep 24 17:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | and en ded up with ONS | Sep 24 17:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | and then reached the exact same conclusions | Sep 24 17:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | and made remarks on omisssions and averages | Sep 24 17:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | except | Sep 24 17:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | I cannot be easily censotred | Sep 24 17:05 |
| Techrights-sec | That adds substantial support to the conclusion then. :/ | Sep 24 17:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | whereas he is threatened with loss of ALL his videos ever | Sep 24 17:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | videos that years ago helped save lives in poor countries | Sep 24 17:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | reminds me of winston in 1984 | Sep 24 17:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | they steer him towards "rightspeak" | Sep 24 17:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | by intimidation | Sep 24 17:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | 2+2=5 | Sep 24 17:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | let's jsut say that my 3 best friends all report very serious angst and (I think) have regarets | Sep 24 17:08 |
| schestowitz-TR | all of them, except one i think, must work with other people and thus to them it is barely a choice | Sep 24 17:08 |
| schestowitz-TR | rianne and i both work from home and it pays off now | Sep 24 17:08 |
| schestowitz-TR | btw, he says i should keep my job | Sep 24 17:08 |
| schestowitz-TR | both he and rianne saw reports today re expectation of 24% or 25% inflation by April | Sep 24 17:08 |
| schestowitz-TR | hence, value of savings will erode considerably | Sep 24 17:08 |
| schestowitz-TR | so I said, ok, I won't rush to leave | Sep 24 17:08 |
| schestowitz-TR | he also knows how severance is canculate for my job | Sep 24 17:08 |
| schestowitz-TR | *calculated | Sep 24 17:08 |
| schestowitz-TR | he isa director (technical company, 3 masters degrees) | Sep 24 17:08 |
| Techrights-sec | Not a surprise. There is also "shrinkflation" at the same time which is hiding | Sep 24 17:08 |
| Techrights-sec | that the situation is even slightly worse than the official numbers. | Sep 24 17:08 |
| Techrights-sec | Excellent that he could advise. | Sep 24 17:08 |
| schestowitz-TR | inflation is not uniform and depends on people's spending habits | Sep 24 17:10 |
| schestowitz-TR | my friend just lost 150k | Sep 24 17:10 |
| schestowitz-TR | to a scam | Sep 24 17:10 |
| schestowitz-TR | and want to try to recover some | Sep 24 17:10 |
| schestowitz-TR | all his money | Sep 24 17:10 |
| schestowitz-TR | his home liquidated | Sep 24 17:10 |
| Techrights-sec | 150k ??? | Sep 24 17:10 |
| Techrights-sec | :( | Sep 24 17:10 |
| schestowitz-TR | crypto bros | Sep 24 17:12 |
| schestowitz-TR | got to his via microsoft linkedin | Sep 24 17:12 |
| schestowitz-TR | i am still learning more, lots of communication today | Sep 24 17:12 |
| schestowitz-TR | hence TR will be lower priority | Sep 24 17:12 |
| schestowitz-TR | you'd think a 59 yo lecturers would know better | Sep 24 17:12 |
| schestowitz-TR | turns out not | Sep 24 17:12 |
| schestowitz-TR | people want get-rich-fast schemes | Sep 24 17:12 |
| Techrights-sec | crypto XOR cryptocurrency? | Sep 24 17:13 |
| Techrights-sec | Crypto has been ok but cryprocurrency has been a scam since the beginning | Sep 24 17:13 |
| Techrights-sec | Back in 2009 ... | Sep 24 17:13 |
| schestowitz-TR | in 2022 "linux" also means cryptocranks | Sep 24 17:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | hyperledger etc. | Sep 24 17:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | "fintech" | Sep 24 17:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | banksters | Sep 24 17:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | the brand is without lustre anymore | Sep 24 17:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | sorry to think I spent my whole adult life promoiting this brand | Sep 24 17:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | now I focus on other terms | Sep 24 17:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | I also promotes the term "open source" for a long time | Sep 24 17:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | but sucvh is the nature of subversive tactics | Sep 24 17:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | hijacking wordsds | Sep 24 17:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | so you need to keep on moving | Sep 24 17:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | like switching from SUSE to somehting else | Sep 24 17:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | from SUSE lover and booster to leading a boycott | Sep 24 17:15 |
| Techrights-sec | ack | Sep 24 17:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | gay used to mean happy | Sep 24 17:16 |
| schestowitz-TR | linux used to imply freedom | Sep 24 17:16 |
| schestowitz-TR | freedom means libertarian now I think | Sep 24 17:16 |
| schestowitz-TR | so we need more clarity | Sep 24 17:16 |
| schestowitz-TR | tech authonomy | Sep 24 17:16 |
| schestowitz-TR | etc etc | Sep 24 17:16 |
| schestowitz-TR | we need to move with the times | Sep 24 17:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | the media changes the words | Sep 24 17:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | btw, my fridnd knew far too little about gates | Sep 24 17:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | I brought him up to date | Sep 24 17:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | he was in irc many times over the ywars, but not real name | Sep 24 17:17 |
| Techrights-sec | ack | Sep 24 17:22 |
| Techrights-sec | Sep 24 17:22 | |
| Techrights-sec | digital sovereignty ? | Sep 24 17:22 |
| Techrights-sec | It hurts cyber readiness that Gates' minions are in and out of DC more than | Sep 24 17:22 |
| Techrights-sec | Redmond even. | Sep 24 17:22 |
| Techrights-sec | Windows kills | Sep 24 17:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | i know someone who lost everything because of a microsoft linked scam - famous new words | Sep 24 17:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | Sep 24 17:22 | |
| schestowitz-TR | rianne just saw the email | Sep 24 17:22 |

| schestowitz-TR | but much being done at "personal life" level | Sep 24 17:48 |
| schestowitz-TR | not online | Sep 24 17:48 |
| schestowitz-TR | so bear with us, rianne will catch up with rss shorly | Sep 24 17:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | I will do videos before midnight | Sep 24 17:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | i still cannot digest the extent of the crypto scam | Sep 24 17:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | and ramifications | Sep 24 17:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | set aside the damage I'm told the jab did | Sep 24 17:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | but only off-the-recrod | Sep 24 17:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | because you get punished severely career-wise for talking about it | Sep 24 17:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | rianne says we learned a lot today | Sep 24 17:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | from her two referees | Sep 24 17:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | btw, the lasagna turned out to be very successful, about 7 servings already | Sep 24 17:49 |
