<schestowitz[TR]> hi

schestowitz[TR]

<phanes> Hey Dr. Schestowitz. I am not sure how to kick this request off, but, I've been kind of observing Matthew Garrett's twitter over the last year since he defamed me on it about a year ago and I'm seeing about every 3-4 months he's defaming someone else habitually. The more I search around the more I see familiar names of people who were contributing that got completely derailed by wild accusations.

schestowitz[TR]

schestowitz[TR]

<phanes> I think it's reached a point where it is probably a good idea to start collecting for a timeline of every incident I can find, but your coverage indicates a much better knowledge base to start with in re: to MG

schestowitz[TR]

<phanes> Ted T'so comes to mind

schestowitz[TR]

<schestowitz[TR]> he sent me several letters from his lawyers

schestowitz[TR]

<phanes> uh oh

schestowitz[TR]

<phanes> do we need a more confidential communication medium to discuss this?

schestowitz[TR]

<schestowitz[TR]> no

schestowitz[TR]

<schestowitz[TR]> but I covered this in techrights

schestowitz[TR]

<phanes> im looking for it

schestowitz[TR]

<phanes> im through most of it now. fyi, california has a 1 year limit from the time of the initial statement (when it was made, not when they found it) to file with the court to start a defamation trial

schestowitz[TR]

<schestowitz[TR]> he won't do anything

schestowitz[TR]

<schestowitz[TR]> intimidation tactic

schestowitz[TR]

<schestowitz[TR]> he defamed me

schestowitz[TR]

<phanes> he legally can't if it's for anything you ever said longer than 1 year ago

schestowitz[TR]

<schestowitz[TR]> this video is a lot shorter

schestowitz[TR]

<phanes> i have also been making statements about his serial defamation behaviours for longer than a year so i am also immune to litigation over it

schestowitz[TR]

<schestowitz[TR]> would not shock me if he was connected to a state entity

schestowitz[TR]

<schestowitz[TR]> seeing how he attacks people and who he chooses to attack

schestowitz[TR]

<phanes> i suspect he's a FAANG-sponsored saboteur/contractor

schestowitz[TR]

<schestowitz[TR]> suspect? Gulag funded him

schestowitz[TR]

<phanes> well i can't definitely prove that google came to him and said "we will pay you $X for systamtically targeting people doing things against our Y interests"

schestowitz[TR]

<schestowitz[TR]> it does not work like that

schestowitz[TR]

<schestowitz[TR]> people can be rewarded or chosen for past and future actions

schestowitz[TR]

<phanes> i want to bring this guy down with a "sword of truth"

schestowitz[TR]

<phanes> the kind of truth that sticks to you, and smears onto anything you touch. the kind that does not wash off.

schestowitz[TR]

<phanes> to do that, i will need to compile a sourced timeline for a website that will be search-engine optimised and tied to his name

schestowitz[TR]

<phanes> it should be a kind of "curriculum vitae" of his malicious behaviours over the years, highly segmented

schestowitz[TR]

<phanes> after the search engines start tracking it, all standard PR campaign principles apply

schestowitz[TR]

<phanes> one of the problems with exposing this guy so far has been that so few people are talking about it, so, he can just attack their individual credibility and keep it at bay

schestowitz[TR]

<phanes> (as you've seen so far)

schestowitz[TR]

<phanes> i've run into the same issue

schestowitz[TR]

<phanes> since he is undermining your pulications' credibility he can dampen your impact, and since my only sources so far are your publication, we have an "entity spread" problem

schestowitz[TR]

<phanes> as he does the same with me

schestowitz[TR]

<phanes> *publications*

schestowitz[TR]

<phanes> since we have immunity from being litigated by him over those statements i am well positioned to run a campaign like that

schestowitz[TR]

<phanes> i also have a six digit income with legal resources if he tries to strongarm me with lawyers

schestowitz[TR]

<phanes> to avoid complicating things i wont involve you much, but you have alot of the information collected that i'll need, so, if it's alright with you I will be occassionally sending you an email asking for sources to cite on things i find from your own sources so that i can start to spread this out to other publications and get the information socialized

schestowitz[TR]

<phanes> i am just seeing alot of impactive material here in the videos

schestowitz[TR]

<phanes> but

schestowitz[TR]

<phanes> first is the timeline

schestowitz[TR]

<phanes> i have a feeling we can collect at least 10 years of defamatory behaviour

schestowitz[TR]

<phanes> i have to be careful with the IBM stuff. if this is a confidential discussion i'll tell you why.

schestowitz[TR]

<phanes> (i'd need a gaurantee of confidence)

schestowitz[TR]

<phanes> (also, you know who I am right?)

schestowitz[TR]

<schestowitz[TR]> I can only offer pointers, nothing more

schestowitz[TR]

<schestowitz[TR]> I want to get on with work

schestowitz[TR]

<phanes> re: UEFI, I agree it's a categorical threat to the F/OSS ecosystem, but I see the UEFI action as separate from the defamatory behaviours except where we can tie it to specific acts of defamation that we can capture/archive and reference

schestowitz[TR]

<phanes> it'll be hard to socialize the anti-defamation sentiment in the academic circles he'll try to lean on for credibility when the exposure campaign starts to heat up

schestowitz[TR]

<phanes> if we don't separate the two out except where a direct link can be found

schestowitz[TR]

<phanes> i.e. it's even worse than the defamation, but he'll be able to rely on credibility/image on EUFI if the defamation doesn't have a focal point

schestowitz[TR]

<phanes> *UEFI

schestowitz[TR]

<phanes> im still forming models but if the vehicle for his exposure is the same he uses to hurt people (SJW) then any action he takes to bolster his SJW activity (which is almost always harmful) will also bolster the exposure campaign levied against him

schestowitz[TR]

<phanes> and then when he's at a low in terms of credibility, the UEFI villainry could be a deathblow because he won't have as strong a platform to rest on, as the only thing keeping it at bay is apologists for toxic SJWs

schestowitz[TR]

<phanes> if they won't want to support him because he's been strongly outted as a serial defamer, it just all falls back on him when UEFI starts to come back up

schestowitz[TR]

<phanes> i think part of the problem so far is i see in these publications that you're addressing a broader issue that's bigger than MG and involves broader corporate strategies, but this can get in the way of addressing the man himself in terms of content distraction or focal points

schestowitz[TR]

<phanes> not that the FAANG issue doesn't need addressed, i just would separate out content like "this post is purely about MG" and "this post is purely about FAANG but references issues with MG"

schestowitz[TR]

<phanes> idk im still brainstorming on how to approach this. i know there will be a website. i am figuring out how the content will work. it will read like a wikipedia page or a CV but be a timeline of people he's defamed and will have a section devoted to UEFI, but will focus purely on his defamatio

<p>Hello! I’ve started to run a few more servers recently (nginx playground, mess with dns, dns lookup), so I’ve been thinking about monitoring.</p>

<p>It wasn’t initially totally obvious to me how to monitor these websites, so I wanted to quickly write up what how I did it.</p>

schestowitz

<p>I’m not going to talk about how to monitor Big Serious Mission Critical websites at all, only tiny unimportant websites.</p>

<p>In 1979, Sony launched the PS-X75 turntable. It quickly gained popularity thanks to its high-fidelity sound output and ease of use. It was easy to use because it was fully automated–a common feature today, but something that was quite exciting at the time. To perform that automation, the PS-X75 contained an integrated circuit that detected record size, dropped the needle, and so on. But that IC was prone

schestowitz

to failure. To revive their Sony PS-X75 turntable, MKB-1 used an Arduino Mega to replace the original circuit.</p>

<p>I suppose over time I’ve engineered a new problem. People now routinely email me with interesting, useful, fun, and friendly comments; and now I have a backlog to reply to and quote here. I apologise if that includes yours. I do read every email I receive, unless Fastmail’s aggressive filters block it and I fish it out of spam a month later.</p>
