[11:47]	schestowitz-TR	very good news about tim bray!
● Nov 27
[16:48]	Techrightssec	checking his blog now ...
[16:49]	schestowitz-TR	if enough people leave and explain why, others will follow
[16:49]	Techrightssec	you mean leaving twitter? yes that is great.  it is even better that he has
[16:49]	Techrightssec	blogged prominently about it
[16:55]	Techrightssec	it has already passed a tipping point in regards to staffing
[16:55]	Techrightssec	the rest will probably take care of itself
[16:59]	schestowitz-TR	it is a chicken and user thing: staff<->users
[16:59]	schestowitz-TR	if suers leave in droves, incentive to correct staffing is lower
[16:59]	schestowitz-TR	if staff leaves in drives, serve worksens on several levels
[16:59]	schestowitz-TR	and users loe interest
[16:59]	schestowitz-TR	even before thr takeover twitter had become more of a desrt eahc month
[16:59]	schestowitz-TR	today we installed another recipe application on the pi
[16:59]	schestowitz-TR	gournet and gnome-recipe
[16:59]	schestowitz-TR	the latter is connected to the first, sort of like successor
● Nov 27
[17:03]	Techrightssec	which program works best for those?
[17:03]	schestowitz-TR	gnome-recipe
● Nov 27
[19:11]	schestowitz-TR	backups done:
[19:11]	schestowitz-TR	tenton (rianne)
[19:11]	schestowitz-TR	tuxmachines www dir
[19:11]	schestowitz-TR	techrights wordpress db 
[19:11]	schestowitz-TR	(offsite backups of these, too)
[19:11]	Techrightssec	ack
[19:11]	schestowitz-TR	just in case
[19:11]	schestowitz-TR	the targz of tm grew about 40mb in the past half month
[19:11]	schestowitz-TR	uptime of that site has been excellent, today I had to run ddos mitigation for old-tm
[19:11]	schestowitz-TR	the usual reason
[19:11]	schestowitz-TR	that site still does almost 3 hits/sec
[19:11]	schestowitz-TR	despite having nothing new in months 
[19:12]	schestowitz-TR	as many people still point to the rss feed on that domain/ip
[19:12]	schestowitz-TR	uptime issues for that site can impact readers of news.tm
[19:12]	schestowitz-TR	still, better than being a fool of feedburner, relying on it as a relay until Gulag decides "there's
[19:12]	schestowitz-TR	no money in it" hence shutdown
[19:12]	schestowitz-TR	can't wait for amazon to turn off alexa
[19:12]	schestowitz-TR	and millions of devices of all kinds will be rendered bricks
[19:12]	schestowitz-TR	then we'll see who's "smart" and who was whose "assistant"
[19:13]	Techrightssec	they'll use that as an excuse to sell all the recordings and other data
[19:13]	Techrightssec	they've surrepetiously collected 
[19:16]	schestowitz-TR	or
[19:16]	schestowitz-TR	1) textualised (i.e meta)data of those recordings
[19:16]	schestowitz-TR	2) annotated based on voice (ID), time-tagged
[19:16]	schestowitz-TR	3) bonus: detect voide of house/office guests
[19:16]	schestowitz-TR	hey, it's not like companies or products never shut down and then sold their "assets" or "IP" or "data"
[19:16]	schestowitz-TR	'anonymized' [sic] data
[19:16]	schestowitz-TR	totally harmless, nobody can seam that together|!
[19:16]	schestowitz-TR	Parallel Construction <3 Aleca Leads
[19:16]	schestowitz-TR	"how did you get this data?"
[19:16]	schestowitz-TR	"nothing, we just knew where and what to sniff"
[19:16]	schestowitz-TR	like that CIA-connected (via Spain) firm that put bugs in the London embassy 
[19:16]	Techrightssec	that too
[19:16]	Techrightssec	parallel construction is a wide spread practice despite or because of its 
[19:16]	Techrightssec	illegality
[19:18]	schestowitz-TR	workplaces do that too (commercial)
[19:18]	schestowitz-TR	not just governments ("public" sector, inc. military/froce)
[19:18]	schestowitz-TR	*force
[19:18]	schestowitz-TR	alexa and ring have already given cops lots to latch onto
[19:18]	schestowitz-TR	like, if they don't like eric garner being filmed by some dude (he too is dead now, he had been arested as well)
[19:18]	schestowitz-TR	eric's daughter had a heart failure at age ~30 iirc
[19:19]	Techrightssec	yep
[19:22]	schestowitz-TR	she was well overweight, like her dad
[19:22]	schestowitz-TR	but erica had become a thorn on HRC's side
[19:22]	schestowitz-TR	causing lots of black americans not to vote blue
[19:22]	schestowitz-TR	just because she died
[19:22]	schestowitz-TR	the usa has a long history of getting rid of black martyrs
[19:22]	schestowitz-TR	endless list, mlk and malcolm x are among the better known "suspects"
[19:22]	schestowitz-TR	there are many more
[19:22]	schestowitz-TR	and you can never prove anything
[19:23]	schestowitz-TR	  /s/just because/just before/
[19:23]	Techrightssec	true 
[19:27]	schestowitz-TR	they should know it's trouble when they became
[19:27]	schestowitz-TR	1) influential and
[19:27]	schestowitz-TR	2) not in a way that perpetuates "White Power"
[19:27]	schestowitz-TR	Will Smith is not a good example
[19:27]	schestowitz-TR	Macy grey got in trouble for merely insisting on women's identity
[19:27]	schestowitz-TR	Houston dead, so is her daughter (only daughter IIRC)
[19:27]	schestowitz-TR	but that was due to drugs
[19:27]	schestowitz-TR	and related aspects
[19:27]	schestowitz-TR	michael jackson also drugs, iirc the GP's fault in part
[19:27]	Techrightssec	hrc's minions threw the primary, and ended up being the biggest factor in the
[19:27]	Techrightssec	2016 loss
[19:27]	schestowitz-TR	chapelle was considered acceptable until he turned against his "masters"
[19:28]	Techrightssec	ack
[19:31]	schestowitz-TR	showbiz is, in general very deadly
[19:31]	schestowitz-TR	those who experience anticlimatic episode tend to end up hooked on some very hard drugs
[19:31]	schestowitz-TR	and the chance of early death seem very high in that occupation
[19:31]	schestowitz-TR	i recently found out after his fall from grace spike jones basically 'killed' himself with endless chain smoking
[19:31]	schestowitz-TR	his late wife died only days before I found out about that
[19:55]	schestowitz-TR	updating gem capsules to fetch from the new url
[19:55]	schestowitz-TR	the hostname was embedded in .ssh config
[19:55]	schestowitz-TR	done, tested
[19:55]	schestowitz-TR	only needed changing in one place, how very elegant
[19:55]	schestowitz-TR	i will probably need to clone the pi again some time soon
[19:55]	schestowitz-TR	there is now spare hardware, too
