DaemonFC[m]Facebook lets you download a zip file that has a lot of metadata intact.Jan 26 00:30
DaemonFC[m]Would be interesting if anyone allowed you to port that into a new account on their social network and just backdate all of the posts.Jan 26 00:30

DaemonFC[m]schestowitz__: Regarding your post about Chromium browsers, it's what I wanted but not the way I wanted it to happen. Everyone else is sort of stuck making the best of a bad situation, where a couple of mega-ad tech companies are the upstream (Microsoft and Google) and also occupy two seats on the increasingly irrelevant W3C to legitimize their own debauchery of the open Web.Jan 26 00:37
DaemonFC[m]Lewis Black pointed this out as the Democrats and the Republicans in the 2000s. He said the Republicans were standing around farting and the Democrats were shouting "OOOH! Let us smell it!".Jan 26 00:37
DaemonFC[m]And that's where Firefox comes in. They're the Democrats to the Chromium browser Republican Party.Jan 26 00:37
DaemonFC[m]There are literally dozens of web standards now where the only purpose is to track the user and fingerprint them. There's even an API to detect whether the user is actively using the computer and the browser or not.Jan 26 00:37
DaemonFC[m]Some browsers may choose to disable or not implement them all, but the fact that they're now part of the Chromium platform means there's at least more work to do, and sites can break without them and won't test for their absence or degrade gracefully.Jan 26 00:38
DaemonFC[m]Mozilla has even been doing a lot of negative work, like implementing the battery status API just to declare it a security threat and remove it.Jan 26 00:39
MinceRlolJan 26 00:39
DaemonFC[m]Oh, let sites see how much battery life you have left. Yeah, they totally care that they're draining your device.Jan 26 00:42
DaemonFC[m]If they cared, they wouldn't be loading videos that you can't stop.Jan 26 00:42
MinceRor removing ALSA support from their binaries in an effort to force people to use poetteringaudioJan 26 00:42
DaemonFC[m]From their point of view, direct support for ALSA was dead code that nobody would be using.Jan 26 00:46

schestowitz [CSC] Report on the GCC meetings of 26 November and 10 December 2020Jan 26 12:57
schestowitzIn the November GCC meeting, no real dialogue took place: the President was not prepared to move an inch from his initial proposals. He claimed that he would not re-open the discussion on the SAP.Jan 26 12:58
schestowitz Jan 26 12:58
schestowitzIn the December GCC meeting, two Circulars (Nos. 364 and 367) were on the agenda for consultation. Both Circulars were amended as the result of litigation by staff (as regards recognition of PhDs and abolition of house arrest, respectively). The changes are positive but the Circulars as a whole are far from being satisfactory.Jan 26 12:58
schestowitz Jan 26 12:58
schestowitzBoth GCC meetings are examples of how not to conduct a social dialogue: there is no genuine debate. Our arguments are ignored when they don’t suit the Administration. Even if there are indeed some mini-steps in the right direction, the President and his Administration remain unwilling to acknowledge the deep-rooted, structural faults of many of the reforms that have been forced on staff in recent years.Jan 26 12:58

schestowitzyes, we throttled it in the past, but not anymoreJan 26 14:31
schestowitzseems possible that start of this year they reverted back to throttling such trafficJan 26 14:31
schestowitzif I step it, within seconds the throttling stopsJan 26 14:31

schestowitzto take me to jargon I am not familiar with to diffuse and dissuade Jan 26 14:33
vZS1_2Well, the first thing you should do is demonstrate a simple test. Let me outline itJan 26 14:33
schestowitzokJan 26 14:34
vZS1_20) Keep only 1 device on and connected to the internet.Jan 26 14:34
vZS1_21) Have a benchmark program on thatJan 26 14:34
vZS1_22) Run p2p on that as well.Jan 26 14:34
vZS1_23) Switch p2p on and off and monitor the benchmark programJan 26 14:34
vZS1_2The key here is reproducibilityJan 26 14:35
vZS1_2If you can reproducibly demonstrate they are discriminating against p2p traffic, you have a foundation to stand on.Jan 26 14:35
vZS1_2So 1 device and 2 programs. Need to keep it as simple as possible.Jan 26 14:36
schestowitzok, I suppose that would be easy to doJan 26 14:38
schestowitzwhen we get to that pointJan 26 14:38
schestowitzthe shaping MIGHT be done at hub leve, BUT...Jan 26 14:38
schestowitz*levelJan 26 14:38
schestowitzwe did not change the setup or the hub the morning it started to throttleJan 26 14:39
schestowitzso the throttling is almost certainly being done 'upstream'Jan 26 14:39
vZS1_2Your benchmark program will reveal thatJan 26 14:39
*CrystalMath (~coderain@reactos/developer/theflash) has joined #techrightsJan 26 14:39
vZS1_2There's several to choose fromJan 26 14:39
schestowitzDoes ofcom have an official position on throttling?Jan 26 14:39
vZS1_2I don't think soJan 26 14:40
vZS1_2But the fundamental speeds must be satisfiedJan 26 14:40
vZS1_2So BT can't wiggle their way out of thatJan 26 14:40
schestowitzthey might say it is conditionalJan 26 14:40
schestowitz"we can guarantee X provided not Y"Jan 26 14:40
vZS1_2Nothing in the Ofcom site says anything about conditionsJan 26 14:40
vZS1_2I believe it's a fundamental requirement without further assumptionsJan 26 14:40
schestowitzI plan to phone them after I publish their letterJan 26 14:41
vZS1_2We can read through the Ofcom papers later to make sureJan 26 14:41
schestowitzthey sent it printed, so copy-paste would be harderJan 26 14:41
vZS1_2Do you have access to a scanner?Jan 26 14:42
schestowitzyesJan 26 14:42
schestowitzwe have 2Jan 26 14:42
vZS1_2a scan as PNG should workJan 26 14:43
schestowitzbut I have not used them for ages and need to install xsane or similarJan 26 14:43
schestowitzI will phonr them after thatJan 26 14:43
schestowitzthey mention "BT business account"Jan 26 14:43
schestowitzlowercase BJan 26 14:43
schestowitzand upgrade to it for freeJan 26 14:43
schestowitzbut I need to ask them if that means no throttlingJan 26 14:43
schestowitzand, if they say yes, then it means they do throttle homesJan 26 14:43
vZS1_2They shouldn't be throttling anyway because of Ofcom regulationsJan 26 14:44
schestowitzbut I need to craft the questions carefullyJan 26 14:44
schestowitzmaybe to record the callJan 26 14:44

vZS1_2You're always playing russian roulette when you install sudo on a host. Best to avoid it.Jan 26 21:03

vZS1_2I really sympathise with the devs but that is just the wrong way to approach security.Jan 26 21:04
vZS1_2Programs should never have "a piece of root".Jan 26 21:04
schestowitzdoas also?Jan 26 21:05
vZS1_2YeahJan 26 21:05
vZS1_2If you want to co-ordinate, communicate via an interface like a file.Jan 26 21:06
vZS1_2The amount of things you have to juggle with the shell and processes is just too prone to come crashing down with those programsJan 26 21:07
vZS1_2Think about it. Right from all the shells and subshells, processes and children.Jan 26 21:08
vZS1_2So many things that can blow right up in your face and lead to privilege escalationJan 26 21:08

vZS1_2Letting a user do things as another user is always a bad idea, in principle.Jan 26 21:11
vZS1_2Best to just log into a shell as the desired user and do what needs to be done.Jan 26 21:11
schestowitzbut convenience!!Jan 26 21:12
schestowitzbtw, I do many things as rootJan 26 21:12

vZS1_2The IPFS bot I put on your Rpi never sees the root account. It's completely unnecessary.Jan 26 21:13

vZS1_2"smart" programs have a tendency to blow up in your face.Jan 26 21:15
vZS1_2One of the best bits of programming advice I ever got was to keep logic as stupid as possible in my programs.Jan 26 21:16
