| schestowitz | I made the wordpress DB about 15% lighter | Dec 28 06:06 |
| schestowitz | which means backups and gzip will be faster overnight (less downtime in that window) | Dec 28 06:07 |
| schestowitz | OTOH, due to videos, which we don't compress much, /home will probably need expanding a bit after the migration | Dec 28 06:07 |
| schestowitz | I guess if we switch over to another DC it's a chance to do this 'in vivo' without downtime or anything risky | Dec 28 06:07 |

| DaemonFC[m] | I'd say Firefox still has a good rendering engine. It performs fairly well. Certainly better than Chromium browsers. | Dec 28 07:33 |
| DaemonFC[m] | And it still lets you disable persistent nuisances like autoplaying videos. | Dec 28 07:34 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So it's almost worth it for that alone. | Dec 28 07:34 |
| DaemonFC[m] | But like Windows 10, I counted over a dozen settings you have to change to make Firefox shut up and get out of your way. | Dec 28 07:34 |

| DaemonFC[m] | FedEx does not allow you to upload ODT. | Dec 28 07:50 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Oddly, the Microsoft Office docx Strict version of this document is 5 KB, and ODT is 13 KB. | Dec 28 07:51 |
| DaemonFC[m] | LibreOffice changed to OOXML Strict by default in version 7. | Dec 28 07:51 |
| DaemonFC[m] | schestowitz: Some of the font sizes need work, but that looks like template text anyway. | Dec 28 07:53 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Kind of odd to look at compared with how bloated most sites are. | Dec 28 07:53 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Blowing away the bloat probably would help keep site costs down. | Dec 28 07:54 |

| DaemonFC[m] | On the main site, not the front page. | Dec 28 07:56 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It seems Startpage's results are a lot cleaner. | Dec 28 07:58 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I'm trying to move more of my searches away from Google directly. | Dec 28 07:58 |
| DaemonFC[m] | That was kind of funny to read about duckduckgo taking out the entire room at that open source event and then "duck"ing all the questions and bolting for the door as soon as their presentation was over. | Dec 28 07:59 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I noticed that it's not just Tor using DDG, it's a lot of independent browsers that probably can't work out some sort of deal with Google. | Dec 28 08:00 |
| DaemonFC[m] | But DuckDuckGo is an option, out of the box, in Microsoft Edge, Chrome, Safari, Vivaldi, Opera, and Firefox. | Dec 28 08:01 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So they pay to be there. They just can't get top ticket, and obviously not on Edge where Microsoft is pushing BIng. | Dec 28 08:01 |

| schestowitz | I told a few friends about this news shortly before this blog post was published and I even got teased a little bit because of Amazon’s reputation. It’s no secret that Amazon has received a fair bit of criticism in the news. They’re a behemoth that powers a great deal of the internet, and is involved in an impressively large volume of online shopping. No company this big could ever be without criticism. | Dec 28 20:22 |
| schestowitz | I’m not being hired as a spokesperson, but if I’m given the permission to speak honestly and transparently, I’ll welcome any fair criticism and speak to it whenever I can. My personal opinion here is that it’s much more effective to try to make positive change from within, and hopefully you’ll trust that I’m doing as much as I can. | Dec 28 20:22 |

| DaemonFC[m] | Companies get that big as a result of efficiency of scale. | Dec 28 20:25 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I think the interesting thing here is that there are so many companies with a "cloud" infrastructure to choose from, and since the others are so focused on Linux, Microsoft had to go there too or face having no serious market presence. | Dec 28 20:26 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Even within Azure, Windows has a minority market share even though it's their own OS and theoretically should have technical advantages over Linux as a Guest OS. | Dec 28 20:27 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I don't think that the fundamental architecture of Windows NT is badly broken. I think that the components that came later and are now a part of the Windows API were poorly designed and were not created with even the intermediate future in mind. | Dec 28 20:28 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So there's a lot of stuff that's only barely relevant and it doesn't work well because the people who designed the base OS are pretty much all gone and cashing pension checks now. | Dec 28 20:28 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I've been doing a little more work on this immigration case. | Dec 28 20:30 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I found some documents that I had slightly misplaced during the move, and filtered out some they don't want. | Dec 28 20:30 |

| DaemonFC[m] | schestowitz: Trump fired the Walter Reed doctor who said his hospital drive by was irresponsible. | Dec 28 20:34 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Plenty of time to settle scores while the nation's business goes undone. | Dec 28 20:35 |

| DaemonFC[m] | schestowitzwas mocking the US for not having passports that are accepted anywhere. | Dec 28 21:43 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Then the UK gets on the shitlist practically anywhere they have one lick of common sense. | Dec 28 21:44 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It's only a matter of time before the new strain gets here because the US has not implemented a total ban on incoming flights from the UK and "negative tests" didn't even stop the White House outbreak. | Dec 28 21:44 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So that's not going to do much. | Dec 28 21:45 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So it won't be too long before we're dealing with that too, and then 5,000 dead each day because why not. | Dec 28 21:45 |

| schestowitz | interesting | Dec 28 22:30 |
| schestowitz | I installed LEDs on my raspi last week | Dec 28 22:30 |
| schestowitz | this one has many | Dec 28 22:30 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I just loaded Fedora 33 on the old laptop just to see what's going on. | Dec 28 22:30 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Mandy mostly uses it as an overglorified web browser anyway. | Dec 28 22:31 |
| schestowitz | good | Dec 28 22:31 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Getting rid of the swap partition and using compressed RAM was a long time coming. | Dec 28 22:31 |
| schestowitz | red hat doing experiments | Dec 28 22:32 |
| schestowitz | sorry, ibm | Dec 28 22:32 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Yeah, although these have been out there without much distribution attention for years. | Dec 28 22:32 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I'm surprised Ubuntu wasn't interested in setting things up like this. The swap file should be the absolute last resort. It's not like the system is pleasant to use while it's thrashing the swap anyway. | Dec 28 22:33 |
| DaemonFC[m] | On a system with 16 GB of RAM, swap is hardly used and moving it to a compressed RAM drive makes more sense. | Dec 28 22:34 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I just put PIA's browser extension in there for him. Not interesting in figuring out PIA on Fedora system-wide right now until they post official instructions on wireguard without their Linux app. | Dec 28 22:38 |
| DaemonFC[m] | *interested | Dec 28 22:38 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The most Mandy might do online is go watch a pirate anime stream. | Dec 28 22:38 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I have no idea what he does. I don't know if those sites are legit. They might be. | Dec 28 22:38 |
| DaemonFC[m] | If they aren't I don't want the logs on my ISP's system. | Dec 28 22:39 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The Windows PIA client supports Wireguard. | Dec 28 22:40 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The OpenVPN adapter for the Windows build is a huge resource suck and the killswitch is less reliable. | Dec 28 22:40 |
| schestowitz | do you pay PIA? | Dec 28 22:44 |
