vmg3

chinar

schestowitz__

nice companies, eh?

schestowitz__

vmg3: it's a longstanding issue in Synergy as well

Mar 08 00:15

schestowitz__

like locusts they seem to grow

Mar 08 00:17

schestowitz__

at least we know why the Google trolls are so eager to discredit and cancel the truth-telling elements

schestowitz__

lots of skeletons to hide

schestowitz__

but we'll dig deeper...

schestowitz__

the old emails are coming back

schestowitz__

curious nation

vmg3

infiltration was a slow process, seems complete now

schestowitz__

faking feminism

schestowitz__

guys

schestowitz__

like the google troll

schestowitz__

concern trolls

vmg3

it has ties to media, religion, money and power

schestowitz__

crate vacuum

schestowitz__

infiltrate

schestowitz__

#cancelPerson

*vmg3 wonders what % of $ it should take to run and org?

schestowitz__

fsfe 20%+ google

schestowitz__

for ages

schestowitz__

google was also a top fsf sponsor for a few years

schestowitz__

I don't know who rejected who at the end

vmg3

trick down ecenomics

schestowitz__

it's not impossible fsf itself decided to put an end to it

schestowitz__

seeing what google had become

schestowitz__

they create vacuum

schestowitz__

like they did with RMS

schestowitz__

while a google-funded troll pushed for it

vmg3

even charity here has the same problem

schestowitz__

there are corporate charities too

schestowitz__

fake ones

schestowitz__

like Linux Foundation

and http://techrights.org/wiki/index.php/Gates_Foundation_Critique

schestowitz__

-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-techrights.org | Gates Foundation Critique - Techrights

vmg3

to get the tax free status

schestowitz__

yup

schestowitz__

whatever they claim to have spent on something "good" is by far exceeded by the savings in tax avoidance

vmg3

you're 3 steps ahead of me

schestowitz__

LF does it too, and it harms the "LINUX" brand http://techrights.org/wiki/index.php/Linux_Foundation

-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-techrights.org | Linux Foundation - Techrights

schestowitz__

makes Linux seem or feel just as corrupt as anything

vmg3

so we get pushed backwards

Mar 08 00:36

schestowitz__

yup

vmg3

on the news yesterday our health minister was singing Bills praises

schestowitz__

the goal is to leave the community in disarray

schestowitz__

one tactic is blackmail, others are shame tactics

vmg3

our status quo

schestowitz__

-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-techrights.org | Professional Troll Matthew Garrett Spreads Libel, Defamation and Slander About the Free Software Community to Entertain Microsoft and Friends | Techrights

schestowitz__

the corporates sometimes even convince themselves that they are a force for good

schestowitz__

against "unruly" and "rude" grassroots

schestowitz__

but the goal isn't to mislead themselves but the public

vmg3

it creates cynical people

schestowitz__

vmg3: is not, Bill can engineer his ousting

schestowitz__

your health minister prasied a friend of child traffficking monsters

schestowitz__

how's THAT for health

vmg3

he did have a quick mention of not being to happy with windows

schestowitz__

anyway, yes, cynicism is thus overdue

vmg3

but even played that down

schestowitz__

Aussie is a strange nation

schestowitz__

to me

vmg3

all the hacks are getting to em

schestowitz__

I cannot compare it to Canada

vmg3

and me

schestowitz__

South Africa is also different

schestowitz__

took me a while to understand what the media isn't telling

schestowitz__

by meeting people from there

vmg3

it use the word liberal but it's been butchered

schestowitz__

liberal is a tainted word now

schestowitz__

it's exploited by corporate elements

schestowitz__

neo-liberal is another

schestowitz__

so I'd rather avoid that word

schestowitz__

too tainted to fix

vmg3

yep

schestowitz__

you say "I'm a liberal"

schestowitz__

people might think, "I suppose bombing Libya"

schestowitz__

*support

schestowitz__

and you don't want that..

schestowitz__

"progressive" as a term also become a bit problematic

schestowitz__

so best to avoid labels completely

vmg3

yeah, I still think education systems are part of the problem

schestowitz__

"hacker" is also a label

schestowitz__

to many people hacker means "criminal" now

vmg3

from getting something working to a criminal

schestowitz__

and the communication channels too are under attack

schestowitz__

edu system stonewalls

schestowitz__

and opens up to moguls

schestowitz__

and the powerful people

vmg3

they are money machines here

schestowitz__

so they engineer or condition people's minds early

schestowitz__

twitter now bans unconventional posts

schestowitz__

they egg on professional trolls

schestowitz__

cults

schestowitz__

even jihadists

vmg3

I only see twitter in other sites embeded now

schestowitz__

those are fine, that's "tolerance"

schestowitz__

but don't go against those, that would be IN-tolerance

schestowitz__

Twitter is falling

schestowitz__

traffic-wise

schestowitz__

it was a lot more influential years ago

vmg3

I noticed this morning google sharing is a shambles.

schestowitz__

gemini has some promise

vmg3

all for social control

schestowitz__

we need to cultivate and foster it a bit, though it can take time

schestowitz__

and guard against rogue actors

vmg3

yeah. retro trendy?

schestowitz__

who will try to associate it with "Radical" or "Terrorist" or something..

schestowitz__

vmg3: it does not have to be retro

schestowitz__

you can 'skin' it

schestowitz__

by which I mean theming

schestowitz__

the base itself is light and simple

vmg3

folks like to like

schestowitz__

TLS is not retro

schestowitz__

IRC is not retro either

schestowitz__

it's light and the protocols are kept simple

vmg3

practical

schestowitz__

this way they support even old IRC clients

schestowitz__

rather than impose bloat and spying on users

schestowitz__

this is why we won't be moving to Matrix

vmg3

yeah, too many love the bloat

schestowitz__

there are Matrix bridges for IRC anyway

schestowitz__

fake novelty isn't a thing

schestowitz__

bloat has a toll

schestowitz__

entry barrier, portability, abandonware

schestowitz__

like writing an application in a large framework that won't be around in 10-20 years

vmg3

its part of the marketing too, upgrade or get left behind

schestowitz__

shaming tactics

schestowitz__

get phone version x+1

schestowitz__

"what will your friends think?"

schestowitz__

BTW

schestowitz__

Aussie media

schestowitz__

recently mocked us

schestowitz__

for using IRC

schestowitz__

THis was in relation to Torvalds talking abour our revelations

vmg3

it's not part of the machine

schestowitz__

so they use Joomla

schestowitz__

or Mambo (still!)

schestowitz__

and then mock us for using IRC

schestowitz__

while they barely maintain their truly broken site

schestowitz__

itwire

schestowitz__

which is down some of the time and hides behind clownflare

vmg3

even for our views on privacy

schestowitz__

views on privacy changed

schestowitz__

it's no longer regarded "paranoid" to value privacy

schestowitz__

but...

schestowitz__

privacy-washing is rampant

schestowitz__

for the worst offenders too

vmg3

now they want to record ethnicity when you get a jab

schestowitz__

so if you say I won't use $SPYINGFIRM because privacy they'll sing praises of how that company is "different"

schestowitz__

Snowden leaks are "old news"

vmg3

yeah

schestowitz__

which jab? :-)

schestowitz__

I got many jabs

vmg3

covid

schestowitz__

they register who gets jabs anyway

vmg3

is the main one but i think it will carry over

schestowitz__

so it is tied to one's identity regardless

schestowitz__

the NHS records "ethnicity" anyway

vmg3

I'ts like mental health here too it all goes on your Health record

vmg3

then you get judged on that too

schestowitz__

they put this data on Windows

schestowitz__

and also the "clown"

vmg3

yes

schestowitz__

so you probably don't want to tell them much

vmg3

already had leaks here

Mar 08 00:53

vmg3

tell a doctor you dont trust their system and the treatment changes

Mar 08 00:53

schestowitz__

some stuff is almost benign

Mar 08 00:53

vmg3

insurance companies are part of the system

schestowitz__

in the data sense

schestowitz__

I've just sent an update to the NHS at work

*schestowitz__ on shift

vmg3

to make a claim they get full access

schestowitz__

insurance companies are often invertly connected to the goal of health benefits

vmg3

to get a script, you get piss tested, results recorded

schestowitz__

if that's even a word...

schestowitz__

their goals are almost opposite

schestowitz__

and their business model

schestowitz__

their surplus is your problems

vmg3

they are in the $ buisness

https://www.cnbc.com/2018/04/11/goldman-asks-is-curing-patients-a-sustainable-business-model.html

schestowitz__

-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-www.cnbc.com | Goldman asks: 'Is curing patients a sustainable business model?'

schestowitz__

the piss test isn't the big issue

schestowitz__

depending on what's found on it

schestowitz__

in some context, that data can be used for assassinations

vmg3

it is if you smoke a bit of weed

schestowitz__

e.g. allergies

schestowitz__

but that's stretching it

vmg3

4 weeks + in system

schestowitz__

as if someone wants to bring you down they don't really need your medical records

vmg3

yeah words work

schestowitz__

public shaming and blackmail are another issue

schestowitz__

if you know underlying medical conditions of someone like Gates, would you publicly shame him with it?

vmg3

just a way to get more money, not sustainable

schestowitz__

but you should worry more if they record calls

schestowitz__

and if you tell them very personal things

schestowitz__

(which you should not)

vmg3

yeah, everything is recorded here

schestowitz__

test results of things aren't particularly interesting

schestowitz__

the gossip around it is "interesting"

vmg3

just driving the nail home

vmg3

sounds wicked when a QC spruiks it in a tribunal

schestowitz__

when you have a public health service insurance companies are less of a problem

schestowitz__

in the US, you definitely want to separate the systems

schestowitz__

otherwise they rip you off

vmg3

I'd be dead

schestowitz__

so your loss or privacy hurts you financially, directly

schestowitz__

A lot of people still look up medical conditions on the Web

schestowitz__

some people are really that gullible, thinking it's private

vmg3

we were told its going to be free for the vaccine, this morning they were telling us the cost

schestowitz__

and they literally type down what conditions they have

schestowitz__

Google records a 'shadow medical record'

schestowitz__

nothing is free

vmg3

yeah, I think they profiled me

schestowitz__

"Bill" is a big shareholder

vmg3

it was convinent at the time to store med reports on gdrive

"A few weeks later, Oxford—urged on by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation—reversed course. It signed an exclusive vaccine deal with AstraZeneca that gave the pharmaceutical giant sole rights and no guarantee of low prices—with the less-publicized potential for Oxford to eventually make millions from the deal and win plenty of prestige."

vmg3

nobody cares, or wants to care

Mar 08 01:12

vmg3

tipping point is still a bit off

Mar 08 01:13

schestowitz__

because Assange is (they tell us) the real criminals

vmg3

pffft

schestowitz__

while corporate trolls tell us so too

schestowitz__

while calling themselves "justice warriors"

schestowitz__

Not justice for their paymasters

schestowitz__

who abuse whole nations

schestowitz__

it's an old trick though

vmg3

I watched on twitter how easy people believe the mud

Ariadne

i support pardoning assange

schestowitz__

social control media distracts many people now

Ariadne

but i also think that he is a womanizer

schestowitz__

they think they do activism

schestowitz__

until FB

Ariadne

it is possible to think both things

schestowitz__

or Twitter

schestowitz__

bans them

schestowitz__

for the "wrong" activism

vmg3

Ariadne: thats what they want us to believe, IMHO

schestowitz__

Ariadne: the priority is exposing war crimes

schestowitz__

at the moment we have to prioritise issues

schestowitz__

corporate crimes also

Ariadne

has assange exposed any new war crimes?

vmg3

yeah its all part of the playbook

schestowitz__

the whole "Sex" angle has long been used to discredit people or distract from their word

schestowitz__

*work

schestowitz__

and words

Ariadne

since collateral murder, wikileaks has only done the cables thing

schestowitz__

also MLK

schestowitz__

the sex tapes

schestowitz__

Ariadne: nope

schestowitz__

look at their site

schestowitz__

lots of crime exposed

vmg3

throw enough mud sooner or later some of it sticks

schestowitz__

even last year

schestowitz__

in Africa and Scandinavia

https://wikileaks.org/-Leaks-.html

schestowitz__

Ariadne

on the front page of wikileaks the newest content i see is October 2019

-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-wikileaks.org | WikiLeaks - Leaks

schestowitz__

note dates

schestowitz__

Vault7 is still very valuable

Ariadne

on that page, December 2018

schestowitz__

it confirmed many things

vmg3

yeah thats an indication that intimidation works

schestowitz__

Ariadne: yes

schestowitz__

Ariadne: when you kidnap a founder

schestowitz__

that kind of messes up with a site's operatio n

Ariadne

sounds like poor management decisions

schestowitz__

don't fault them for crimes of the state against publishers

schestowitz__

Ariadne: again, a distraction

Ariadne

if i ran wikileaks i would have set it up so that it could continue operating

schestowitz__

blaming the exposer

schestowitz__

Ariadne: in techrights we now have some redundancy built in

schestowitz__

so it relies on no single individual

vmg3

Its a complicated issue and huge

schestowitz__

Ariadne: you are among them :-)

schestowitz__

we live and learn

schestowitz__

it's also deterring against particular actions

schestowitz__

anti-censorship done a priori means they don't bother slapping

vmg3

the guys from piratebay warned us years ago what was coming

schestowitz__

because the SLAPP would have little practical impact

Ariadne

anyway i do not see how accountability for bad actions done by a person is incompatible with propagating the spread of useful information

schestowitz__

vmg3: they dealt with even more aggressive forces

schestowitz__

Ariadne: we need truths, yes

Ariadne

the reality is assange is a womanizer and ioerror is a rapist

schestowitz__

did you see the latest from pocock?

Ariadne

that does not subtract from their work

schestowitz__

he spills the beans on some big companies today

vmg3

but we talk about a slippery condom instead of murder

*mmu_man has quit (Ping timeout: 264 seconds)

schestowitz__

it's what the media wants

schestowitz__

MLK 'cheated on his wife"

schestowitz__

let's ignore the oppression of black people

Ariadne

i dont think the media cares either way about ioerror being a rapist

schestowitz__

eventually he was just killed

schestowitz__

Ariadne: you change the subject

vmg3

guilt by association

schestowitz__

we did not mention ioerror

schestowitz__

don't play into it

schestowitz__

it's you who bring up smears

schestowitz__

and you brought up "Sex"

schestowitz__

as they want

schestowitz__

that's just what trolls like to do

schestowitz__

we talked about exposing crimes

schestowitz__

not sex

schestowitz__

MLK Day isn't about sex

schestowitz__

or FBU sex tapes

schestowitz__

makes for blackmail

DDG has gotten worse than what that article exposes. DDG used to be hosted on Amazon, and it switched to MS Azure, which means MS can now see both the IP and the query text coming to bing, and link identity to search phrase

it would be easier to maintain something less bloated

craigevil

cybrNaut

schestowitz__: no, i just worked it out the other day.. haven't written any articles

note that it's speculative.. we don't know MS does that, but it seems quite possible

sure, as long as you can be sure all correspondents will refuse to stop encrypting if messages get corrupted or stop getting through

schestowitz__

I barely send any mail without encrypting

schestowitz__

oh, where to start...

cybrNaut

i stopped using browser's built-in password managers a long time ago.. hard to beleive what i'm hearing (that they now put the credentials in the cloud). It used to be that only plugins would do that, and built-in pw stores used local storage

cybrNaut

so local storage is no longer an option for FF?

i'm looking at it now... seems syncing to the cloud is optional

schestowitz__

DaemonFC[m]

Letting their "evangelism" email go to a dead end.

schestowitz__

we need to get off the web where it is doable (some sites and use cases)

DaemonFC[m]

Something similar happened with Facebook for a while.

DaemonFC[m]

For two years, Facebook Messenger video chats worked if you shimmed the UA as Chrome.

DaemonFC[m]

But Mozilla wouldn't do it, so for two years Facebook refused to let you use it and said get Chrome.

schestowitz__

maybe I will find another workaround

schestowitz__

Chrome lets them spy even more

schestowitz__

at many levels

schestowitz__

even system level

schestowitz__

BTW, in GNOME3...

schestowitz__

Chromium is run would ask for a password

schestowitz__

every time

mjg59

schestowitz__: Are you willing to admit that your claim that this is the only Freenode IRC channel I'm on was factually inaccurate?

schestowitz__

maybe something with session management

schestowitz__

but it's still odd

mjg59: go full-time trolling elsewhere

schestowitz__

Yeah, Mozilla has an odd history of only surviving because they're tangentially useful for some big company to get a better deal from Microsoft or to keep antitrust lawsuits at bay.

DaemonFC[m]

They've finally hit a low point because AOL was just handing them cash and letting them build a web browser.

MinceR

it does more than ape chrome now -- it blocks ALSA :>

Mar 08 03:41

DaemonFC[m]

Remember AOL telling Microsoft that they wanted settlement money and a free license to use Trident and then when they got it, they spun Mozilla off with a couple million dollars and said good luck?

Mar 08 03:41

schestowitz__

--new-instance Open new instance, not a new window in running instance.

Mar 08 03:41

DaemonFC[m]

I think they used the threat of Gecko to get a ~$450 million settlement from Microsoft and the free IE license.

schestowitz__

Microsoft took their patents later, DaemonFC[m]

DaemonFC[m]

Which, the second part makes no sense.

DaemonFC[m]

Trident is a part of Windows.

DaemonFC[m]

You can embed it just by being a Windows application. No license is needed.

schestowitz__

LOL. "Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To use Firefox, you must first close the existing Firefox process, restart your device, or use a different profile."

schestowitz__

This is what you get when using --new-instance

DaemonFC[m]

There have been browsers besides IE that used Trident. Several added things like ad blockers and tabs to it.

schestowitz__

do they even test their own software?

DaemonFC[m]

I hear KMeleon is still around.

DaemonFC[m]

I used that a lot on my IE-less Windows 98 box.

DaemonFC[m]

Gecko was suitable, but it drew its own interface, which was sluggish and not "native".

schestowitz__

falkon and qupzilla both have more CLI option or more useful options than Moz FF

schestowitz__

I know the latter is just older Falkon

schestowitz__

BTW, re Falkon

Mar 08 03:45

schestowitz__

What's happening now could have been exfiltrated by any nation state that found the same bug in Microsoft's email software.

https://ircz.de/p/21022558

DaemonFC[m]

There's no telling what bugs are currently unknown (to Microsoft or the US government, which uses it all over the place) that nation states are sitting on. They burn one every now and then for a high value prize and then that gets patched, but it's too late and there are more.

Instead of fixing their bugs, Microsoft spends heavily on a PR blitz to paint everything as a "Linux bug" for false equivalence.

Mar 08 17:50

DaemonFC[m]

Well, if it's "just as bad", why switch?

Mar 08 17:50

That's a better investment than fixing bugs in Windows.

"LINUX" = anything running on a server with linux somewhere as the kernel

"LINUX"

That means maybe Debian 11 and most likely Fedora 33 will work, moreso with the respin that brings in a newer kernel.

Mar 08 19:11

DaemonFC[m]

The Linux 5.12 RC1 is apparently a real nightmare if you use a swap file.

Mar 08 19:12

DaemonFC[m]

It can randomly swap out anywhere on that partition, even over files.

Mar 08 19:12

DaemonFC[m]

So if you don't have swap as a partition then stay away from it until that's fixed.

MinceR: Fedora Rawhide uses rc kernels

Mar 08 19:18

schestowitz__

it's still going?

schestowitz__

the people who wrote about it in Planet Fedora are gone

MinceR

nobody in their right mind uses fedora

schestowitz__

Fedora is rotting

schestowitz__

and after December hacking by IBM

schestowitz__

hacking as in machete attack

schestowitz__

against CentOS

schestowitz__

the Fedora 'community' is 99% IBM staff

schestowitz__

it's kind of saddening to me

MinceR

it also comes with cancerd, which is unstable, unreliable, insecure, and it will forever stay that way

schestowitz__

they had some good folks ther

schestowitz__

*there

schestowitz__

and some of them got banned

schestowitz__

they welcomed back Daniel Pocock at least

MinceR

wiping your filesystem fits well with cancerd

schestowitz__

he still uses Fedora

schestowitz__

MinceR: so do Ubuntu, Debian...

MinceR

indeed

MinceR

those are even more pointless

schestowitz__

sad

MinceR

since they ape fedora with a lot of extra work

schestowitz__

but...

MinceR

and in the end they're still the same shit

schestowitz__

I think this should not be out #1 concern

schestowitz__

we can deal with systemd as vendor lock-in later

schestowitz__

I see migrations away from Red Hat

schestowitz__

the lock-in is not aggressive enough

MinceR

i'm dealing with moving to some BSD

schestowitz__

they cannot pull it off

schestowitz__

MinceR: OK, fair enough

MinceR

and then i can watch the mafias kill what's left of Linux and GNU without being affected

schestowitz__

figosdev did that too

schestowitz__

MinceR: that's one option

schestowitz__

the world runs on gnu/linux

schestowitz__

and that won't change any time soon

MinceR

the world is thoroughly fucked

schestowitz__

we can navigate it in some direction

MinceR

and people in general didn't care enough to prevent it

schestowitz__

MinceR: let's do what's possible

MinceR

even Linux developers didn't feel the need to fork the kernel to save it

schestowitz__

MinceR: too busy looking after immediate needs

schestowitz__

like paying the mortgage

schestowitz__

food, no covid infection etc.

MinceR

hell, we don't even have enough of a community to maintain a good fixed release GNU/Linux distro anymore

MinceR

slackware isn't releasing and devuan has failed to remove a lot of systemd crap

MinceR

and they both seem to come with some form of logind

schestowitz__

that can change

schestowitz__

when people move away from rhel

MinceR

it can, but it's getting less and less likely to happen

schestowitz__

many corporations want the pie

schestowitz__

or pieces of it

schestowitz__

Google, Microsoft, AMazon...

MinceR

i guess eventually people will realize that systemd/hartmanux is shit, just as they realized that windows is shit

schestowitz__

they even make their own bogus distros

MinceR

and then they'll move to the remaining BSD-s

schestowitz__

and then spam the media with them

MinceR

and then the mafias will try to ruin that one

MinceR

and if the community doesn't learn, they'll succeed

schestowitz__

the movement became bug enough to be coopted

schestowitz__

just like feminism

schestowitz__

not coopted

schestowitz__

by trolls and corporations that employ them

schestowitz__

the feminists are still out there

schestowitz__

the real ones

schestowitz__

not concern-trolling idiots

schestowitz__

same for GNU/Linux

schestowitz__

we're here

schestowitz__

and we're not a company

schestowitz__

we fight on

MinceR

there isn't enough of us to maintain something as bloated as Linux

schestowitz__

true, but

schestowitz__

we might not need Linux

MinceR

or firefox

schestowitz__

we can swap for another kernekl

schestowitz__

Forget www

schestowitz__

it's too bloated

schestowitz__

throw it out

schestowitz__

except for webform stuff

schestowitz__

let them bloat it to death

schestowitz__

Mozgle

schestowitz__

all those spying firms

schestowitz__

they will break it

schestowitz__

people will move elsewhere

schestowitz__

like people abandon Twitter

schestowitz__

deserting it for being not what it was

schestowitz__

not a place for real debates

schestowitz__

but for celebs

schestowitz__

same for linux

schestowitz__

became a monopolists' playground

schestowitz__

*psydroid doesn't want to contribute to or maintain Linux

schestowitz__

we can pull the rug from under their feet

schestowitz__

alpine+ Ariadne are an example

schestowitz__

they use smaller bits

schestowitz__

and it gets the job done

schestowitz__

Linux is not small

schestowitz__

busybox is

schestowitz__

and lots you can do with it

MinceR

can they afford to maintain a kernel fork?

schestowitz__

schestowitz__

but they can replace the kernel

MinceR

then they're doomed too

schestowitz__

the kernel itself might be doomed

schestowitz__

windows had many drivers

schestowitz__

now linux has more drivers than Windows

schestowitz__

and windows rots away

schestowitz__

the same can happen to linux

schestowitz__

and to web browsers

schestowitz__

too much stuff int here

MinceR

and they're throwing out those drivers

schestowitz__

that you do not need

schestowitz__

MS Office... same

schestowitz__

people move away to 'webapps'

schestowitz__

with less features

MinceR

iirc they got rid of the floppy driver recently

schestowitz__

yup

schestowitz__

Linux is for monopolies

schestowitz__

not for old hardware

schestowitz__

the goal is money

schestowitz__

not maintaining old machines

schestowitz__

selling more junk

schestowitz__

look at chat 'apps'

schestowitz__

we still use IRC

schestowitz__

we move to gemini

schestowitz__

ipfs is all command line

schestowitz__

unless you fancy GUI like Brave

schestowitz__

and that generally works

schestowitz__

filtering, firewalls, apache, php, text conversions for bulletins

schestowitz__

all CLI

schestowitz__

we're preparing code releases

schestowitz__

about 100 programs

schestowitz__

worked on it this past week

schestowitz__

git command line only

schestowitz__

no gui, no browsers

schestowitz__

git -h

schestowitz__

all you need to get going

The downside is that the 0 and 1 implement the ARMv6 ISA, and Debian don't target that, so performance on that hardware is a little lower

Mar 08 21:17

mjg59

The 2, 3 and 4 are all ARMv7, though, and work fine with the Debian armhf packages

Mar 08 21:17

problem is, debian images come with cancerd

Sure. And you can still replace it with another init system if you want.

Mar 08 21:21

I'm only going to keep Debian on my two laptops and maybe an ARM SBC

Mar 08 21:21

psydroid

I've already wiped it from several of my older systems

Mar 08 21:22

MinceR

if i don't mind losing access to a lot of packages in the process

MinceR

and what's the point of deadian if one has no access to packages?

mjg59

The number of packages that have runtime dependencies on systemd is very small

mjg59

There's a number that link to libsystemd, but that doesn't do anything if systemd isn't running

psydroid

indeed

Mar 08 21:32

MinceR

until your masters decide to push some malicious code into it

Mar 08 21:33

MinceR

which then deadian dutifully updates on the victim's computers

not to mention the whole *logind mess

psydroid

Mar 08 21:34

psydroid

I only have it installed as a backup, but that was a backhanded move as well

Mar 08 21:34

MinceR

backhanded moves are what the "modern" crowd is all about

Mar 08 21:35

mjg59

Debian doesn't do significant backports to stable releases

Mar 08 21:38

mjg59

So during the lifetime of a release, there's no risk that a dramatically difference libsystemd is going to show up

Mar 08 21:39

MinceR

i don't trust them to look carefully at the source code of their favorite library to decide whether the new version is "dramatically different" or not

Mar 08 21:42

MinceR

especially not when their masters at ibm can just force them to adopt anything by changing systemd or gnome

Mar 08 21:42

mjg59

For the lifetime of a stable release, the only changes that go in are reviewed by multiple people

mjg59

Packages don't end up in stable updates without additional review from the release team

psydroid

neither do I, that's why I get rid of it wherever I can

MinceR

systemd itself was reviewed by multiple people

MinceR

and they decided it was "stable"

Mar 08 22:54

vmg3

until there's a keylogger

Mar 08 22:56

mjg59

Yeah, which is why this argument about the Signal server source code is so pointless

Mar 08 22:56

mjg59

From a security perspective, at least - failing to provide updates to a nominal free software project is a pretty dick move

Mar 08 22:57

mjg59

But the client code is open, and it's possible to verify what data it's providing

Mar 08 22:57

vmg3

yeah

mjg59

Even if the current server source *were* available, you wouldn't be able to prove that that's what's running

mjg59

You have to assume that the server is backdoored whether you have the source or not

MinceR

it doesn't matter, signal was already untrustworthy

vmg3

you're feeding my parinoa

MinceR

they were trying to force people to only use their official binaries

vmg3

yet I've seen so many claim it's the best

MinceR

many people are wrong, that's business as usual

vmg3

my head hurts

Mar 08 23:00

MinceR

so does mine

Mar 08 23:00

vmg3

well just knowing that makes me feel a little better

Mar 08 23:00

mjg59

MinceR: It's trivial to determine that their binaries correspond to their source code

Mar 08 23:03

mjg59

What's the threat you're worried about

Mar 08 23:03

mjg59

Mar 08 23:03

MinceR

lack of software freedom

Mar 08 23:04

MinceR

what if their binaries don't correspond to their source code?

DaemonFC[m]

Mandy is running a fever and has aches and chills from the vaccine.

mjg59

MinceR: Then questions should be asked

DaemonFC[m]

Covered under a three day leave with pay policy at Walmart. No points for calling in.

MinceR

or one could just use free software for secure communication

Mar 08 23:06

mjg59

That's a reasonable preference

DaemonFC[m]

For most people side effects last no more than 3 days. I guess we'll cross that bridge when we come to.it.

mjg59

But it's simply wrong to imply that there's no way to verify whether or not they're trustworthy

MinceR

well, it's easy to verify

DaemonFC[m]

MinceR: "No. The bridge is too heavily guarded.".

DaemonFC[m]

(SG-1)

MinceR

MinceR

they whined about people packaging signal for f-droid

MinceR

their server side is nonfree

MinceR

obviously, they do not respect the users' freedom

MinceR

and nonfree software can't be trusted to be secure

Mar 08 23:09

mjg59

Like I said, it's perfectly reasonable to prioritise those things when making a choice

Mar 08 23:09

mjg59

But the security aspect of it can be verified to the same extent that any free software can be verified

Mar 08 23:09

MinceR

but if you try to fix it and share the fixes with your neighbor, that's supposed to be undesirable, according to them

Mar 08 23:10

MinceR

what are they hiding?

Mar 08 23:10

MinceR

and you can't verify the server side at all

Mar 08 23:11

MinceR

let alone host your own

Mar 08 23:11

mjg59

In the hypothetical case that the Signal team are untrustworthy, and they backdoor the server code, why would they put the backdoor in the public code?

Mar 08 23:12

mjg59

How would you verify that their server is running what's published?

Mar 08 23:12

MinceR

i could host my own instead

Mar 08 23:12

MinceR

and what's preventing them from having more than one backdoor?

mjg59

Yeah, but then you wouldn't be able to communicate with anyone not using your instance

vmg3

or running a scraper

MinceR

or i could just run a service that is distributed

MinceR

like tox or ricochet

mjg59

You could definitely do that

mjg59

But that's an argument in favour of decentralised services rather than against Signal itself

Mar 08 23:14

mjg59

But ok, we have a distributed service

Mar 08 23:14

mjg59

You want to send a message to someone

Mar 08 23:14

mjg59

How do you determine that they're using a legitimate server that hasn't been backdoored?

MinceR

i probably can't, unless i'm running the server

mjg59

Yeah

mjg59

Which means if you want strong security guarantees, the distributed aspect of it doesn't help

mjg59

Because you need everyone you want to talk to to be using your server

MinceR

actually the distributed aspect is exactly what can help

vmg3

If the CISA can't tell?

MinceR

because if there's no centralized server, there's nothing to compromise other than the clients

mjg59

There's an alternative, which is to design the protocol so that the server has no access to the message contents

Mar 08 23:17

MinceR

in which case they can still screw with you by shutting down the server

Mar 08 23:17

MinceR

and then there you are, having wasted lots of resources on setting up and using a system you can not even use

Mar 08 23:17

mjg59

True! That's still a reliability argument rather than a security argument

Mar 08 23:18

MinceR

or they can change the server code so it refuses to work with the client you had, and instead forces you to use a client that does let the server access the message contents

Mar 08 23:18

MinceR

well, availability is still an aspect of security

Mar 08 23:18

mjg59

The client code is released under a free license and you can verify that the provided binary corresponds to it

MinceR

the new client code might not even be released under a free license, or with source code

psydroid

<vmg3 "you're feeding my parinoa "> we'd rather feed your koala

MinceR

what can you do? the server won't work with it and your contacts are waiting for you to "upgrade"

vmg3

lol

https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/us/

MinceR

and your system might automatically do the "upgrade" for you

Mar 08 23:20

mjg59

MinceR: You don't think people would object to Signal suddenly passing sensitive material to the server?

Mar 08 23:20

MinceR

did people object to their earlier hostile behavior?

Mar 08 23:22

mjg59

Some people, yeah. But it didn't alter the amount of data going to the server, so there wasn't a huge amount.

Mar 08 23:22

MinceR

so signal users generally don't care about privacy or security or freedom

Mar 08 23:24

vmg3

care and belief are differnt things

Mar 08 23:24

mjg59

I'd say most don't care about freedom.

Mar 08 23:25

mjg59

But nothing Signal has done has changed the privacy or security model that previously existed

Mar 08 23:26

MinceR

because it was already broken to begin with

Mar 08 23:26

mjg59

From a security or privacy perspective? Not really.

Mar 08 23:27

DaemonFC[m]

You mean the famous "It's proprietary so you don't know what it does. Just trust us. It's secure." model?

mjg59

DaemonFC[m]: No, all the code that you need to verify that it's secure is under a free license

Mar 08 23:36

DaemonFC[m]

The implementation is proprietary and the user can't fix it even if it's seriously broken.

Mar 08 23:36

That doesn't require you to trust the vendor to determine whether it's secure

It's nice that Walmart anticipated some people getting sick from the vaccine and chose not to hold it against them or make them go without pay.

Mar 08 23:40

The second dose is definitely more potent in Mandy's case. He didn't really react to the first one other than a sore arm.

Mar 08 23:40

DaemonFC[m]

But it seems manageable here at home over the next couple of days.

MinceR

could just be the immune system being more aggressive this time

MinceR: It's just good to know that between the federal government and Walmart, we're safe.

MinceR

DaemonFC[m]

You know, safe from COVID because we took precautions and got to the vaccine.

Safe from Mandy getting fired because Walmart is making an exception to their sick policy for vaccine side effects.
