| schestowitz | >> Well, I know for a fact that Dina read my article on hacker noon about Microsoft burying their losses within their intelligent cloud container. Not sure why she and zdnet waited a year to apply the same logic without crediting me, but I’m flattered by imitation. Maybe Microsoft missed a payment? 🤷🏻♂️🤣 | Feb 05 07:15 |

| schestowitz | Prior to me regarding Azure operating at a loss? Not that I’m aware of. And most definitely not in a manner that necessitated an SEC investigation as I have. 🤣💁🏻♂️ | Feb 05 07:15 |

| schestowitz | I can look around for laptops with SSD. I want to migrate off this laptop ASAP and use that as merely a spare box with no critical data on it. That would mean working with four laptops in parallel. Rianne has 2. But she put one downstairs for videos/music only. | Feb 05 08:49 |

| schestowitz | >> The more critical things I have are published material on the | Feb 05 08:50 |

| schestowitz | >> This reminds me... I don't think that for TR we have a backup (offisite) | Feb 05 08:50 |

| schestowitz | > I haven't run my backups for a while. I've started running one pass now. | Feb 05 08:50 |
| schestowitz | RAID is in place, but in case someone 'steals' the server or whatever it's good to have ALL the files outside the US as well. And DBs of course... as up to date as possible. | Feb 05 08:50 |
| schestowitz | kaniini is not particularly responsive/visible lately... | Feb 05 08:50 |

| schestowitz | > Consider Devuan instead of Debian. | Feb 05 08:50 |
| schestowitz | I've already burned the CD and have some binaries (firmware) on USB, so I think it'll be faster and simpler to just do it a second time around. | Feb 05 08:50 |
| schestowitz | quick points: | Feb 05 08:58 |
| schestowitz | 1. it'll be mostly me 'offline' now ;-) | Feb 05 08:58 |
| schestowitz | 2. I managed to merge together the missing IRC bits -- missing from the files due to downtime (RO FS issue) | Feb 05 08:58 |
| schestowitz | 3. I think I can finish posting all daily links, but I will sleep less tonight (5 hours is a stretch) | Feb 05 08:58 |
| schestowitz | 4. new articles in TR not a priority today | Feb 05 08:58 |
| schestowitz | 5. I'm off work this weekend, so can hopefully catch up fully | Feb 05 08:58 |
| schestowitz | 6. rianne will bring TM up to date shortly (new posts/nodes) | Feb 05 08:58 |
| schestowitz | 7. I finish work in afew minutes | Feb 05 08:58 |
