schestowitz__> You are welcome Roy, I return you the thanks for all the good job you do, not just about the epo, also linux, big corp, etc...May 02 04:58
schestowitz__Those things are all connected. Well, all things are remotely connected somehow, but these things are more connected than most. Based on recent series about the Bundestag etc. even EPO insiders grasp the broader ramifications of their important work.May 02 04:58
schestowitz__> May I ask you a question : when connecting this protonmail account I receive the message "too many recent login attempts". I suspect someone is trying to brute force attack the account? What do you think?May 02 04:58
schestowitz__I never used protonmail myself, but based on my understanding protonmail isn't pure e2ee but some sort of hybrid, wherein the encryption involves some MitM. See http://techrights.org/2020/11/27/encrypt-with-e2ee-in-depth-article/May 02 04:58
schestowitz__> Have a nice day !May 02 04:58

schestowitz__Brute-forcing the account would necessitate knowing about its existence and we did advertise it openly in past articles.May 02 04:59
schestowitz__> How did the Mumble session go?  I presume the 3-way audio test worked.May 02 05:17
schestowitz__It did yes. The recording quality is very good, it did raw WAV.May 02 05:17
schestowitz__> I couldn't stick around and would have been a fifth wheel anyway.May 02 05:17
schestowitz__I assumed you had other things to do regardless, so that's OK. We spoke for 1.5 hours and wrote down some topics etc.May 02 05:17
schestowitz__> I'm fairly new to Mumble and working on getting the hang of arrangingMay 02 05:17
schestowitz__> the channels.  The initial set up of the server was not much more thanMay 02 05:17
schestowitz__> 'apt-get install' so much of the setup is still exploration for me.May 02 05:17
schestowitz__> I've expanded the capabilities of the TR channel so that break out roomsMay 02 05:17
schestowitz__> (aka temporary subchannels) are allowed.May 02 05:17
schestowitz__Thanks.May 02 05:17
schestowitz__>  Right-click on the channel toMay 02 05:17
schestowitz__> Add one as needed.  I've added two semi-permanent subchannels.  I'llMay 02 05:17
schestowitz__> have to do a few experiments to see how the audio goes in the hierarchy.May 02 05:17
schestowitz__>  Should there be an access token for TR or either of the subchannels?May 02 05:17
schestowitz__I don't know yet if you wish to have that address advertised for potential future guests, maybe even RMS.May 02 05:17
schestowitz__As you may have noticed, RMS is not doing interviews with anybody. Some tried to approach him, but it never yields anything.May 02 05:17
schestowitz__I could use your opinion on the following (or no opinion if you want to "pass"):May 02 05:17
schestowitz__SiliconBard: ^^May 02 05:19
schestowitz__nothing sensitive aboveMay 02 05:19
schestowitz__SiliconBard: I'm thinking, one good way of going about this (further to my email) is,May 02 05:19
schestowitz__we chat in preparationMay 02 05:19
schestowitz__write down notes in IRCMay 02 05:19
schestowitz__record, then pass through ffmpeg or similar to add into/outroMay 02 05:20
schestowitz__the rest is very easy to manage and almost free of manual 'labour'May 02 05:20
schestowitz__doing preparatory work in text is better simply because we can later stare at the textMay 02 05:20
schestowitz__audio is harder to do that withMay 02 05:20

schestowitz__> Yo,May 02 08:35
schestowitz__>May 02 08:35
schestowitz__> I’m writing about how this ransomware task force is just another example of Microsoft partaking in entryism and am citing you for the term. Got time to give me like 100-200 words on Microsoft and entryism for this article?May 02 08:35
schestowitz__If I understand this correctly, you have an article in the pipeline and want me to write a short section (1-3 paragraphs) about entryism?May 02 08:35
schestowitz__SiliconBard: this is from LewisMay 02 08:35

schestowitz__I can rehost it, but that seems pro-Microsoft and promotional.May 02 08:37
schestowitz__Last month you said that had removed it, but when I checked it was still online.May 02 08:37
schestowitz__Are we sure this is removed?May 02 08:37
schestowitz__> Forgot to attach rough draft, feedback/insight always welcome.May 02 08:40
schestowitz__OK, now the first message makes more sense.May 02 08:40
