| DaemonFC[m] | <schestowitz "like she fired away a spurious p"> I talked to the dispatcher. | Oct 15 01:23 |
|---|---|---|
| DaemonFC[m] | She said if the police didn't contact me by now, she wouldn't worry about it. | Oct 15 01:24 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They take reports for all kinds of stuff, but she didn't think that sounded actionable. | Oct 15 01:24 |
| DaemonFC[m] | For crying out loud, when I went to leave, the guy walked to my car and I rolled my window down to talk to him, and then he started yelling at me and that "Ibraham" guy on the phone (in Arabic), and the maintenance guy wanted me to give him my phone. | Oct 15 01:26 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I said, "No, but you may talk to your boss on the speaker if it will calm you both down.". | Oct 15 01:26 |

| DaemonFC[m] | When John was harassing me last year I complained to the Waukegan police and they created a report number and said they'd tell him to knock it off. | Oct 15 03:20 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Especially now with COVID-19, the court is probably more selective with what it brings. | Oct 15 03:20 |

| schestowitz | No, BUT... | Oct 15 06:17 |
| schestowitz | 1) I wondered about that | Oct 15 06:17 |
| schestowitz | if there's a link to footage | Oct 15 06:17 |
| schestowitz | 2) the 35th FSF anniversary party... he spoke there also | Oct 15 06:17 |
| schestowitz | where can we find footage? | Oct 15 06:17 |
| schestowitz | it might be interested to hear if it wasn't some generic talk about how and why he started FSF | Oct 15 06:18 |
| CrystalMath | he had some talk about the danger of zoom during covid times | Oct 15 06:18 |
| schestowitz | do we have a link? | Oct 15 06:18 |
| schestowitz | would love to rip the video and link | Oct 15 06:18 |
| schestowitz | DaemonFC[m]: good, so it is probably nothing to worry about | Oct 15 06:19 |
| schestowitz | unless _they made up_ stuff about what you had said and done | Oct 15 06:19 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Oh, who knows? They can't prove it. | Oct 15 06:20 |

| DaemonFC[m] | The dispatcher said probably nothing to worry about if I haven't had any police interaction. She said, "They'd probably have gotten ahold of you by now.". | Oct 15 06:20 |
| DaemonFC[m] | That seems to be their standard procedure, schestowitz | Oct 15 06:21 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Knock and talk. You talking to them might very well be voluntary. It's a fishing expedition. Get you to hang yourself and then use that to get an arrest warrant. | Oct 15 06:21 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Been there. | Oct 15 06:21 |
| schestowitz | you could always 'do a Gates' | Oct 15 06:21 |
| schestowitz | rock back and forth and question the police | Oct 15 06:22 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Just refuse to talk to them. | Oct 15 06:22 |
| schestowitz | "what do you mean by the word X?" | Oct 15 06:22 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They'll make notes about your attitude and if they think you were lying to them. | Oct 15 06:22 |
| schestowitz | well, they do need to do this | Oct 15 06:22 |
| schestowitz | because it is effective | Oct 15 06:22 |
| schestowitz | and no need to torture people | Oct 15 06:23 |
| schestowitz | you saw how Jones folded | Oct 15 06:23 |
| schestowitz | show evidence | Oct 15 06:23 |
| schestowitz | and they fold | Oct 15 06:23 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I read the one after Austin beat me up. They said they felt he was being evasive. | Oct 15 06:23 |
| schestowitz | even Gates, when asked repeatedly, conceded he had written those horrible things | Oct 15 06:23 |
| schestowitz | BTW, we need to get back to the Gates and Jones thing | Oct 15 06:23 |
| DaemonFC[m] | First he blamed me for everything then he stopped talking and ended the interview | Oct 15 06:23 |
| schestowitz | [06:08] <schestowitz> The sooner Bill Gates' dodgy relationship with Epstein can be exposed the better. | Oct 15 06:23 |
| DaemonFC[m] | But they made note of body language and stuff. | Oct 15 06:23 |
| schestowitz | [06:08] <schestowitz> Associating with anyone post paedophile convictions raises serious safeguarding concerns, most normal people, would immediately disassociate them selves. | Oct 15 06:23 |

| schestowitz | body language of lying, stress | Oct 15 06:25 |
| schestowitz | like the fetal poses | Oct 15 06:25 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Yeah, subconsciously he was doing that because he felt threatened by the court. | Oct 15 06:25 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Which was strange. | Oct 15 06:25 |

| schestowitz | and... they call everything "linux" | Oct 15 06:42 |
| schestowitz | even GNU | Oct 15 06:42 |
| schestowitz | I'm tempted to say | Oct 15 06:42 |
| schestowitz | 1) this isn't "Linux" | Oct 15 06:42 |
| schestowitz | 2) LF is corrupot | Oct 15 06:42 |

| schestowitz | but anyway, I can learn in that process, I suppose | Oct 15 06:43 |

| schestowitz | It's idolising Torvalds | Oct 15 06:43 |
| schestowitz | as part of the course | Oct 15 06:43 |

| schestowitz | Oh yeah... I need to learn to repeat lies | Oct 15 06:44 |
| schestowitz | 1991 | Oct 15 06:44 |
| schestowitz | forget GNU :-) | Oct 15 06:44 |

| schestowitz | "In the next chapter, you will learn about the components that make up a Linux distribution." | Oct 15 06:46 |
| schestowitz | sorry, you mean GNU/Linux? | Oct 15 06:46 |

| schestowitz | might be a tad misleading | Oct 15 06:50 |
| schestowitz | "Note: Linux was inspired by UNIX, but it is not UNIX." | Oct 15 06:51 |
| schestowitz | GNU is not UNIX | Oct 15 06:51 |
| schestowitz | ANyway, I suppose I might have to tell lies in the exam section | Oct 15 06:51 |
| schestowitz | Then some more promotional videos | Oct 15 06:51 |
| schestowitz | "Suppose you have been assigned to a project building a product for a Linux platform. Project requirements include making sure the project works properly on the most widely used Linux distributions. To accomplish this, you need to learn about the different components, services, and configurations associated with each distribution. We are about to look at how you would go about doing exactly that." | Oct 15 06:52 |
| schestowitz | They call everything "Linux" | Oct 15 06:52 |
| schestowitz | never a mention of GNU or anything | Oct 15 06:52 |
| schestowitz | Their diagram are always kernel | Oct 15 06:52 |
| schestowitz | even when speaking about GUI stuff | Oct 15 06:53 |
| schestowitz | "Some of the common terms used in Linux are: kernel, distribution, boot loader, service, filesystem, X Window system, desktop environment, and command line." | Oct 15 06:54 |
| schestowitz | No mention of all the tools that are GNU | Oct 15 06:54 |
| schestowitz | "distribution" | Oct 15 06:55 |
| schestowitz | of what? | Oct 15 06:55 |
| schestowitz | X window? | Oct 15 06:55 |
| schestowitz | what about wayland or similar? | Oct 15 06:55 |
| schestowitz | "command line" | Oct 15 06:55 |
| schestowitz | too vague | Oct 15 06:55 |
| schestowitz | ah, now systemd promotion | Oct 15 06:56 |
| schestowitz | " | Oct 15 06:57 |
| schestowitz | systemd | Oct 15 06:57 |
| schestowitz | Adopted by Fedora first (in 2011) | Oct 15 06:57 |
| schestowitz | Adopted by RHEL 7 and SUSE | Oct 15 06:57 |
| schestowitz | Replaced Upstart in Ubuntu 16.04 | Oct 15 06:57 |
| schestowitz | " | Oct 15 06:57 |
| schestowitz | "While the migration to systemd was rather controversial, it has been adopted by the major distributions, and so we will not discuss the older System V method or Upstart, which has become a dead end. Regardless of how one feels about the controversies or the technical methods of systemd, almost universal adoption has made learning how to work on Linux systems simpler, as there are fewer differences among distributions. We enumerate | Oct 15 06:57 |
| schestowitz | systemd features next." | Oct 15 06:57 |
| schestowitz | So that's how they put iot | Oct 15 06:57 |
| schestowitz | LF pushing systemd | Oct 15 06:57 |
| schestowitz | while ignoring the rest | Oct 15 06:57 |
| schestowitz | they even use a very old logo of systemd | Oct 15 06:58 |
| schestowitz | They mention NTFS as FS | Oct 15 06:58 |
| schestowitz | lol! | Oct 15 06:58 |
| *GNUmoon has quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds) | Oct 15 06:59 | |
| schestowitz | Now it's becoming a tad more reasonable and technical, not self-promotional crap that's misleading | Oct 15 07:00 |
| schestowitz | I've been using gnu/linux for over 20 years and this thing targets newbies | Oct 15 07:01 |
| schestowitz | don't see why my employer asked me to enroll to this.. | Oct 15 07:01 |
| schestowitz | (everyone was) | Oct 15 07:02 |
| schestowitz | they teach gnome-tweak-tool | Oct 15 07:04 |
| schestowitz | weird | Oct 15 07:04 |
| schestowitz | as that's mostly like a 'hack' on too simplified gnome | Oct 15 07:04 |
| schestowitz | which was botched | Oct 15 07:04 |
| schestowitz | had more features 15 years ago | Oct 15 07:04 |
| schestowitz | I'll take screenshots during the "exam" | Oct 15 07:05 |
| schestowitz | to show situation where I am required to tell a lie to "pass" | Oct 15 07:05 |
| schestowitz | rianne might find this useful though | Oct 15 07:06 |
| schestowitz | but they mislead people | Oct 15 07:06 |
| schestowitz | the LF lies | Oct 15 07:06 |
| schestowitz | for monopolies and for crushing FSF/GNU | Oct 15 07:06 |
| schestowitz | training people to parrot lies | Oct 15 07:06 |
| schestowitz | (maybe we should do an article about this, I will take screenshots as I go along) | Oct 15 07:07 |
| schestowitz | They do gnome training | Oct 15 07:07 |
| schestowitz | they hardly ever mention of show kde | Oct 15 07:07 |
| schestowitz | as they do systemd | Oct 15 07:07 |
| schestowitz | very red hat-centric | Oct 15 07:07 |
| schestowitz | "The method is quite simple and universal in recent GNOME-based distributions. If you click on the Power icon and hold for a short time and release, you will get the double line icon displayed below, which you then click to suspend the system." | Oct 15 07:08 |
| schestowitz | GNOME... as we're done :-) | Oct 15 07:08 |
| schestowitz | still waiting for bigger faux pas | Oct 15 07:09 |
| schestowitz | "Each distribution implements the Nautilus (File Manager) utility, which is used to navigate the file system. It can locate files and, when a file is clicked upon, either it will run if it is a program, or an associated application will be launched using the file as data. This behavior is completely familiar to anyone who has used other operating systems." | Oct 15 07:09 |
| schestowitz | No dolphin or anything | Oct 15 07:09 |
| schestowitz | amazon icon in the dashboard... stay classy, LF | Oct 15 07:09 |
| schestowitz | it's all gnome | Oct 15 07:10 |
| schestowitz | so kde users might struggle through this course... or anything other than gnome for that matter | Oct 15 07:11 |
| schestowitz | "The basic operations will be the same here, whether you have a GNOME or KDE desktop, although exact procedures and choices may differ slightly." | Oct 15 07:11 |
| schestowitz | "Graded assessments are available to Verified Track learners. Upgrade to unlock ($199)" | Oct 15 07:12 |
| schestowitz | They keep trying to upsell | Oct 15 07:12 |
| schestowitz | "For the GNOME Desktop Manager, one clicks on the upper right-hand corner and then selects the tools image (screwdriver crossed with a wrench or a gear). Depending on your distribution, you may find other ways to get into the settings configuration as well." | Oct 15 07:13 |
| schestowitz | They teach only gnome | Oct 15 07:13 |
| schestowitz | who decided to standardise on this and why? | Oct 15 07:14 |
| schestowitz | shows red hat logos there | Oct 15 07:14 |
| schestowitz | the older red hat logo | Oct 15 07:14 |
| schestowitz | chrome icon in the dashboard, proprietary stuff | Oct 15 07:14 |
| schestowitz | rianne uses kde and used unity in the past | Oct 15 07:15 |
| schestowitz | so for her there's a need to learn gnome just to pass | Oct 15 07:15 |

| schestowitz | gitea is github-hosted | Oct 15 22:22 |
| schestowitz | in 2017, iirc, they said it would change | Oct 15 22:22 |
| schestowitz | I still wait for that migration to be finalised | Oct 15 22:22 |
| vZS1aHdksSQKx2tx | Same | Oct 15 22:22 |
| schestowitz | some prodding can help | Oct 15 22:22 |
| schestowitz | but... | Oct 15 22:23 |
| vZS1aHdksSQKx2tx | But they are offering a lightweight alternative | Oct 15 22:23 |
| schestowitz | I cannot communicate with them | Oct 15 22:23 |
| vZS1aHdksSQKx2tx | I think they have enough problems atm | Oct 15 22:23 |
| schestowitz | I don't have a Github (Microsoft) account :-) | Oct 15 22:23 |
| schestowitz | reminds me of gitlab saying, come to us... OOPS! We're Azure-hosted | Oct 15 22:23 |
| schestowitz | and then they worked to correct that | Oct 15 22:23 |
| vZS1aHdksSQKx2tx | I have to keep up with a lot of things so I don't have an option | Oct 15 22:23 |
| schestowitz | seeing people saw the issue moving from github (MSFT) to gitlab (MSFT-hosted) | Oct 15 22:23 |
| schestowitz | there's a project connected or similar to gitea | Oct 15 22:24 |
| vZS1aHdksSQKx2tx | Gitlab are a joke | Oct 15 22:24 |
| schestowitz | maybe a fork | Oct 15 22:24 |
| schestowitz | I cannot remember | Oct 15 22:24 |
| vZS1aHdksSQKx2tx | You couldn't even do variable nesting in their CI/CD solution | Oct 15 22:24 |
| XRevan86 | schestowitz: gitea is a fork of gogs | Oct 15 22:24 |
| vZS1aHdksSQKx2tx | Let me find the issue hold on | Oct 15 22:24 |
| schestowitz | yeah, gogs | Oct 15 22:24 |
| schestowitz | so it's the other way around | Oct 15 22:24 |
| schestowitz | we need help, we need to get the message out | Oct 15 22:25 |

| schestowitz | and some gnu projects foolishly rehost there also | Oct 15 22:25 |
| schestowitz | vZS1aHdksSQKx2tx: too much complexity | Oct 15 22:26 |
| schestowitz | all this "workflow" stuff | Oct 15 22:26 |
| schestowitz | maybe I never worked in a team large enough in conjuction | Oct 15 22:26 |
| schestowitz | but linux has like 1000+ active devs | Oct 15 22:26 |
| schestowitz | they manage ok with email workflows | Oct 15 22:26 |
| schestowitz | conjuction=> conjunction | Oct 15 22:27 |
| vZS1aHdksSQKx2tx | Email has its drawbacks too tbh | Oct 15 22:27 |
| schestowitz | at least it's standard | Oct 15 22:27 |
| schestowitz | and works on so many devices | Oct 15 22:27 |
| schestowitz | we wrote LOTS of articles about it 2 months ago | Oct 15 22:27 |
| vZS1aHdksSQKx2tx | It would be a lot easier to just use something like bugzilla for dev and keep Git for DVCS | Oct 15 22:27 |
| schestowitz | when Microsoft Foundation (LF) lobbied for Linux on ShiteLab | Oct 15 22:27 |
| schestowitz | I mean ShiteHub | Oct 15 22:27 |
| *timur_demin is now known as tdemin | Oct 15 22:28 | |
| schestowitz | ShiteLab too would be bad | Oct 15 22:28 |
| schestowitz | it's dual-licensed, hence "trap" | Oct 15 22:28 |
| schestowitz | bugzilla is OK | Oct 15 22:28 |
| vZS1aHdksSQKx2tx | I like email, don't get me wrong, but it isn't that great for dev because you need to worry about archiving and a lot of other stuff | Oct 15 22:28 |
| schestowitz | I installed it a few times, does what it's mean to, self-hosted, not bloated | Oct 15 22:28 |
| vZS1aHdksSQKx2tx | Yeah | Oct 15 22:28 |
| schestowitz | email is better for archiving | Oct 15 22:28 |
| schestowitz | I get changelog in my inbox | Oct 15 22:28 |
| schestowitz | in my mail client of choice | Oct 15 22:28 |
| schestowitz | can't say the same about all those web frameworks | Oct 15 22:29 |
| schestowitz | I can search it, forward, merge, archive, run emails tools on | Oct 15 22:29 |
| schestowitz | like mhonarc | Oct 15 22:29 |
| schestowitz | very unix-like mentality of pies with RFCs | Oct 15 22:29 |
| schestowitz | *pipes | Oct 15 22:29 |
| vZS1aHdksSQKx2tx | I'd personally rather have something that just has a simple SQLite DB that I can easily backup | Oct 15 22:30 |
| vZS1aHdksSQKx2tx | But I'm fine with email. I can live with it | Oct 15 22:31 |
| vZS1aHdksSQKx2tx | The biggest gripe I have with email is that there's no ACK that someone got what you sent them | Oct 15 22:32 |
| schestowitz | you can do email as db | Oct 15 22:32 |
| schestowitz | email does have extension for receipt to sender, but it's not strictly enforced | Oct 15 22:32 |
| schestowitz | though you can train people to always send ack when read | Oct 15 22:33 |
| DaemonFC[m] | <schestowitz "might as well keep them empty fo"> Surprised me that it was still so easy to do business with this guy. | Oct 15 22:33 |

| DaemonFC[m] | Signed the lease and put the deposit down with him. | Oct 15 22:33 |
| schestowitz | good | Oct 15 22:33 |
| schestowitz | don't make him regret it | Oct 15 22:33 |
| schestowitz | be a model tenant, hold on to it | Oct 15 22:33 |
| schestowitz | things will be grim soon, election chaos | Oct 15 22:33 |

| schestowitz | vZS1aHdksSQKx2tx: the 8gb one? | Oct 15 22:53 |
| schestowitz | someone wanted to buy me one, sort of | Oct 15 22:54 |
| vZS1aHdksSQKx2tx | Yeah the 8GB one | Oct 15 22:54 |
| schestowitz | how many cores and what speed? | Oct 15 22:54 |
| MinceR | even that one was not terribly well supported when i tried to put it in place of my rpi2... | Oct 15 22:54 |
