Techrights-secthat should clear the file evey third day if I understand correctlyJul 28 07:36
schestowitzyes, the downside is that for a little while people who watch the irc file or tail it will get an empty file, so not every night. This file won't exceed 1MB in size.Jul 28 07:37
Techrights-seclogrotate can watch the size and then clear it when it reaches the limitJul 28 07:38
schestowitzthis is running on the desktopJul 28 07:38
schestowitzit does not even have logrotate installedJul 28 07:39

schestowitzCher Monsieur Hagel,Jul 28 09:08
schestowitzIt is difficult not to link what has been happening since 2010 and 2018 at the EPO by making abstraction of who was sitting on the 10th floor.Jul 28 09:08
schestowitzI agree with you that the essential issue rightly raised in my comment, is the potential shift to EPO 2.0 in the absence of a Diplomatic Conference. The mechanism to amend the EPC is in Art 172. That the AC cannot take decisions contrary to the EPC is in Art 164(1). No exceptions are foreseen.Jul 28 09:08
schestowitzThis issue is not blurred by personal allegations (cronyism, conflicts of interest, incompetence and the like). Napoleon 4th brought with him a group of people of which some of them are still active at the destruction of the EPO.Jul 28 09:08
schestowitzThe latest tenant of the 10th floor has done even worse. He brought chores of people from Alicante, to start with VP1 and VP5. Nowadays if you do not come from the Iberian Peninsula or if you did not have any contacts with the EUIPO, you do not stand a chance to be admitted to the EPO at director or PD level.Jul 28 09:08
schestowitzWhen taking as VP5 the former head of the AC and as PD 5.2 shows that “in-breading” has taken proportions which are not any longer tolerable.Jul 28 09:08
schestowitzAll those people are indebted to the past and present head of the EPO for their position within the management of the EPO. Do you honestly think that their attitude will be any different of all the people displayed in the famous series “Yes Mr PM”, here “Yes Mr President”? In French: des bénis oui, oui!Jul 28 09:08
schestowitzMentioning those facts are not there to obfuscate the debate, but to show that the tenants of the 10th floor have managed to gather around them only people which will find any idea uttered by the heads of the EPO as being the 7th world marvel.Jul 28 09:08
schestowitzHow do you think it would possible, not only to pursue EPO 2.0, but also making sit all examiners in open spaces rooms, should their dare want to come on the premises of the EPO to exercise their duties?Jul 28 09:08
schestowitzThis is the result when of people having no clue of what is the work done at the EPO, allow themselves to decide how it has to be carried out. This is the real scandal.Jul 28 09:08
schestowitzThat the AC is accomplice to this destructive behaviour is also a scandal.Jul 28 09:08
schestowitzI am pleased that epi has decided to react in G 1/21. I would have liked to have seen a reaction when Napoleon 4th introduced R 12a-d and exiled the BA to Haar. Ironically the BA should come back to Munich, but like for examiners all members of the BA will not have a dedicated working space and even less a dedicated office.Jul 28 09:08
schestowitzSeeing how the BA has been acting up to now in G 1/21, the only logical conclusion is that the EBA is nothing more than a puppet on the strings of EPO’s management.Jul 28 09:08
schestowitzSeeing that Art 4a EPC 2000 has not been applied once does not lend me to be optimistic.Jul 28 09:08
schestowitzI have nothing against amending the EPC, but it should be done the proper way with the proper instruments and not by way of secondary legislation like in G 3/19.Jul 28 09:08

schestowitzI have a question regarding networking (checked your resume today for the first time since I was sent a copy):Jul 28 10:28
schestowitztoday I packaged up the latest router to send back to BTJul 28 10:28
schestowitzit says, in paper -- like it said in emails (x3 -- that unused routers will be "recycled"Jul 28 10:29
schestowitzI assume the one still packed and unused won't be broken apart; it's brand newJul 28 10:29
schestowitzbut if I also send out ones, recycle won't mean reuse of repurposeJul 28 10:29
schestowitzIf I sent out OLD ones... they'll basically bin them... and I'd rather find a way to salvage them.... they're perfectly fine but locked down computer... we have about 4 unused onesJul 28 10:30
Techrights-secThe old ones will be binned for sure.  The new ones, probably, even thoughJul 28 10:34
Techrights-secthey are in the original containers.  They sometimes ask for them backJul 28 10:34
Techrights-secanyway, but usually just to be dicks and not because the hardware willJul 28 10:34
Techrights-secget repuposed.  Best to find a project which can get them to a schoolJul 28 10:34
Techrights-secor other worthy entity.Jul 28 10:34
schestowitzThanks, well, they charge if I don't return the latest one. The rest I will keep for now. Will research hacking options...Jul 28 10:34
Techrights-secExcellent.  OpenWRT is the first project to look at in that regard.Jul 28 10:35
