| schestowitz | Several Techrights associates are aware of the Seattle PD thing as well. I circulated parts of the timeline privately. So you are backed up, so to speak. | Jan 07 03:48 |
| schestowitz | Suffice to say, if they ever stonewall, repeatedly, they can be publicly accused of aiding abusers. If they're aware of this, they will release something... the question is, how much? Any redaction can leave more questions than answer. This much too they should know. | Jan 07 03:48 |

| schestowitz | While attempting to recover rather than reboot the server (yesterday around the same time as now) I did at one point notice /home being larger than usual, but in the rush and stress of bringing the site back online (almost an hour's downtime, mostly while I was asleep) I forgot all about it. Didn't check /home closely ... should have. Probably planned to... but didn't... or forgot. | Jan 07 05:16 |
| schestowitz | Mental note: if incident/reboot happens around that time, check not only Gallery at the front end (in case DB needs repairing); also check state of dumps. True for Techrighs as well!! If WordPress dump doesn't get compressed, then it's a 5gb file stuck in the homedir, assuring problems the next day/night (5am ish). | Jan 07 05:16 |
| schestowitz | I can guess how that came about. But maybe you can say more... it looks like a spare file has been deleted since... by you. | Jan 07 05:16 |
| schestowitz | I had three devastating incidents yesterday; none entirely my fault so I try hard not to kick myself over these. I told the wife at least 5 times about it, insisting I'd wake up early today to 'make up' for these. Guilt of not feeling too productive and maybe data loss, not just time loss. | Jan 07 05:16 |
| schestowitz | Pleroma is still offline (moving the site to the EU). I can deal with that long downtime (nothing is perfect ;-) and have contingencies in place... since before viera even existed. The bot was made esp. for us by kaniini. | Jan 07 05:16 |
| schestowitz | So far today I'm productive and in good spirits. Tonight is my last shift at work (4 nights in a row... this one is the last). | Jan 07 05:16 |
| schestowitz | I took a day off work this coming Thursday.. I'll try to do many articles. The links gatherer helps not lose sight of politics. I can't post until 9am due to work. | Jan 07 05:16 |
| schestowitz | Was there a compression in progress at /home, causing the partition to fill up? | Jan 07 05:16 |
| schestowitz | Two more things: | Jan 07 05:16 |
| schestowitz | 1. there's something in the post for you. We ship through a store to give them job/income... better than dealing with stamps and all. We shipped right after feeding about 30 seagulls, geese and ducks 200 yards away. | Jan 07 05:16 |
| schestowitz | 2. On Devuan, see the article just published by figosdev... I can not post while at work using the Guest account. Do you want to participate in proofreading/editing more? | Jan 07 05:16 |

| schestowitz | Today, in Manchester Crown Court, legal proceedings concluded against a former student of the University, through which they were convicted of the rape of a large number of men, here in Manchester. | Jan 07 07:01 |
| schestowitz | The disclosure that Sinaga is a former student of The University of Manchester and that the scale of offending was so significant, has come as a great shock. I have no doubt that this news will be distressing for many of us. | Jan 07 07:01 |
| schestowitz | Our concerns and sympathies are with the victims of these dreadful crimes and with those who are affected directly or indirectly. We have established dedicated help for people who may have been affected (see below) and Greater Manchester Police are also providing a dedicated support line: 0800 056 0154 (If calling from overseas please use 0207158 0011) in addition to a Police Line: 0800 092 0410 (If you are calling from overseas please use | Jan 07 07:01 |
| schestowitz | 0207158 0124). | Jan 07 07:01 |
| schestowitz | The Police have been clear that this individual was operating alone and concealing his behaviour, some of which coincided with him being a student with us. However, I am saddened to confirm that some members of our university community have been directly affected. My thoughts are very much with them and with all who are supporting them through such difficult circumstances. | Jan 07 07:01 |
| schestowitz | Given the seriousness and scale of these offences and the impact that this news will undoubtedly have on many of us, we have been working hard to put in place all the support we can. I have asked Dr Simon Merrywest, Director for the Student Experience, to lead the University’s response on my behalf. He is reporting to me directly on a frequent basis. | Jan 07 07:01 |
| schestowitz | If you feel you have been affected in any way by these events, or know someone who has, the University has set up a dedicated confidential telephone line: +44(0) 3301289241. This complements our existing services. | Jan 07 07:01 |
| schestowitz | You can access support and information, and our trained team can provide a confidential route to discuss any concerns, no matter how small. | Jan 07 07:01 |
| schestowitz | A dedicated email address is also available to respond to any questions or concerns or to access support: s.merrywest@manchester.ac.uk. You can access the University’s Privacy Notice in relation to the confidential telephone line and email here. | Jan 07 07:01 |
| schestowitz | Further details of the above and our wider response can be found here: http://www.manchester.ac.uk/university-statement | Jan 07 07:01 |
| schestowitz | Whilst these events are shocking, please be assured that we are doing all we can as a community to support everyone who has been and will be deeply affected. | Jan 07 07:01 |
| schestowitz | Today’s news is profoundly distressing and its impact will take time to be fully felt and understood. However, during my thirty years with our University, I have seen our community come together in unity and with great resolve in difficult times. I remain confident that we will do so again, extending care and compassion to all those affected. | Jan 07 07:01 |

| schestowitz | the intro to code 2.0 http://www.codev2.cc/ is illustrative here, as things we consider free only remain as such due to continually striving for freedom. when people stop doing that, it falters. | Jan 07 07:53 |

| schestowitz | i think ive been very clear about the fact that of all the things that have happened, the lecture at microsoft is BY FAR the least interesting (to me.) | Jan 07 08:02 |
| schestowitz | ibm being a sponsor: interesting. | Jan 07 08:02 |
| schestowitz | anonymous nestegg large enough to carry the fsf financially through a crisis that happened to come just months later: VERY INTERESTING. the fact that this insurance policy was pointed out right before it was needed: UTTERLY FASCINATING. | Jan 07 08:02 |
| schestowitz | everything that has happened via gnome over the past 10 years: riveting! | Jan 07 08:02 |
| schestowitz | rms giving the same talk he gives everywhere else at a big corporation: overhyped. maybe microsoft had some big plan, but if they did, i suspect someone at gnome/osi who did the planning. thats more interesting than the talk itself. spinning this so its some fault of stallmans? i dont care about that, thats dumb. like i said, if stallman wants to go to the white house and give his lecture to the president-- who cares? is microsoft the dumbest | Jan 07 08:02 |
| schestowitz | place to give a talk? sure. but its much worse that the fsf is taking money from ibm-- and giving them everything they want, just by chance. | Jan 07 08:02 |

| schestowitz | I’m just saying that no one has the right to direct others what to talk about, even in regards to themselves or their organization. As long as the talk is not intentionally disruptive. | Jan 07 08:02 |

| schestowitz | thats true. if i really thought i could help stallman out by talking about it less, id consider it. | Jan 07 08:02 |
| schestowitz | but this thread is 1/3 of a year old, and the only people being notified are those who liked or participated. its nearly private. | Jan 07 08:02 |

| schestowitz | I said what he told me, not what we ought to do... | Jan 07 08:02 |
| schestowitz | Where IRC channels are logged | Jan 07 08:15 |
| schestowitz | A list for the record: | Jan 07 08:15 |
| schestowitz | 1) Techrights VM: | Jan 07 08:15 |
| schestowitz | [root@techrights ~]# ls tail-irc* | Jan 07 08:15 |
| schestowitz | tail-irc-concise.sh tail-irc-social-concise.sh tail-irc-techrights-concise.sh | Jan 07 08:16 |
| schestowitz | tail-irc.sh tail-irc-social.sh tail-irc-techrights.sh | Jan 07 08:16 |
| schestowitz | Some of the above may be out of date. | Jan 07 08:16 |
| schestowitz | Note: tuxmachines excluded. Not much discussion there yet. | Jan 07 08:16 |
| schestowitz | 2) Rianne's laptop (xchat) - switched off at times | Jan 07 08:16 |
| schestowitz | 3) mark (cube) of the IRC regulars. he exposes the logs through his Webs site. Useful when our home connection is down and techrights VM are both down at the same time... the format is that of xchat too. | Jan 07 08:16 |
| schestowitz | 4) my machines | Jan 07 08:16 |
| schestowitz | a) gnomeshell has xchat running | Jan 07 08:16 |
| schestowitz | b) kde4 has xchat and konversation running | Jan 07 08:16 |
| schestowitz | c) openbox has pidgin, xchat and konversation running | Jan 07 08:16 |
| schestowitz | I don't think we missed any IRC stuff... except stuff we intentionally redacted... since 2008 when it all began. | Jan 07 08:16 |
| schestowitz | If all the above fail, Mince R can mail in the diffs... which happened a few times before when I was on holiday... and could not reinstate a connection remotely. | Jan 07 08:16 |
| schestowitz | The IRC logs seem to be growing in value -- old ones too -- over time. Lots of Web sites that used to exist perish and vanish from the Web. | Jan 07 08:16 |
| schestowitz | On my external drive I have bot-generared archives of sites we link to... as they will vanish one day. I no longer maintain those because Wayback Machine does a good enough job... and improving. | Jan 07 08:16 |
| schestowitz | Among the places to find such archives: BN-cite-archives ( there's more) | Jan 07 08:16 |
