[00:41]	XRevan86	Ariadne: I stumbled upon something weird: https://crt.sh/?q=libera.net notice the 2021-06-06 entry, a certificate on irc.eu.libera.net
[00:41]		-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-crt.sh | libera.net
[00:46]	XRevan86	That makes no sense to me, but it's there, in CT.
[00:47]	isak	i think at least the #freenode channel has got quite a bit of reduced spam from the web chat client since required authentication
[00:47]	isak	it was full on spam there for a while
[00:50]	schestowitz-TR	it'll be zero spam when there are zero users left
[00:50]	schestowitz-TR	[stay woke meme]
[00:52]	schestowitz-TR	I will do an article about this
[00:52]	schestowitz-TR	but not very in-depth
[00:52]	schestowitz-TR	because IRC is sort of old news
[00:53]	schestowitz-TR	freenode is presumed dead already.. by many
[00:53]	schestowitz-TR	Maybe Kim and Lee learned something in the process
[00:53]	schestowitz-TR	and the brother (Alex) as well...
[00:53]	isak	yeah, not a lot of people left. but the one that are there are mostly decent i think. wonder if they have more plans than "remotes" to bring users there
[00:54]	schestowitz-TR	they cannot FORCE themselves onto us
[00:54]	schestowitz-TR	"Remotes" seems like a case of using freenode to prop up Alex's business, Shells
[00:55]	schestowitz-TR	meanwhile, PIA seems to be suffering a quiet crackdown in the US
[00:55]	schestowitz-TR	judging by the fact they shuffle around the operations there
[00:55]	schestowitz-TR	like, IIRC, they did in HK not too long ago
[00:56]	schestowitz-TR	so probably there are subpoena or court orders under NDAs
[00:56]	schestowitz-TR	from a tech POV, none of their things are innovative or even good
[00:56]	schestowitz-TR	they just buy lots of media (puff pieces) about it
[00:56]	sears_hardware	i thought PIA is an israeli company now why would US restrict them
[00:56]	schestowitz-TR	publicists, not techies
[00:56]	schestowitz-TR	and lots of debt
[00:57]	schestowitz-TR	sears_hardware: you could joke about "honeypot"
[00:57]	sears_hardware	i mean my assumption is that any vpn is a honepot
[00:57]	schestowitz-TR	some more than others. I guess
[00:58]	sears_hardware	i think telegram is a honeypot too
[00:58]	sears_hardware	and tor
[00:58]	schestowitz-TR	if they keep log data ANYWHERE, it is a ticking time bomb
[00:58]	activelow	there's a trick to trick onion
[00:58]	schestowitz-TR	if I want privacy I go offline
[00:58]	schestowitz-TR	or use encryption

[01:00]	schestowitz	> When I say that Microsoft only dominates when they are first to market, I mean that Microsoft only dominates markets when it enters them in its infancy and that theyre almost always dead in the water when a market is already dominated.
[01:02]	sears_hardware	schestowitz: The "run android and iOS apps on windows 11" strategy is interesting
[01:02]	schestowitz-TR	not really
[01:02]	schestowitz-TR	it was possible for ages
[01:02]	schestowitz-TR	this is just a marketing shift
[01:02]	schestowitz-TR	not a technical shift
[01:02]	sears_hardware	chat.freenode.net sum of channel populations declined from 86k to 64k after the sasl requirement
[01:03]	schestowitz-TR	it also shows that Windows is starting to utterly lack software
[01:03]	schestowitz-TR	they don't command developers anymore

[01:04]	sears_hardware	i just ran it on libera, libera sum of channel popoulations is now 173k
[01:04]	sears_hardware	sum the output of /list -YES
[01:04]	schestowitz	thanks
[01:05]	schestowitz	what does -YES do?
[01:05]	techrights-ipfs-bot	   IPFS downstream, 60 mins: avg(k/sec) 22.45   IPFS upstream: avg(k/sec) 5.95 swarm size (avg): 285.02  
[01:05]	activelow	"-yes:    Confirms that you want to receive a large amount of data."
[01:06]	sears_hardware	schestowitz: on some networks if you /list without -YES it just sends you a one liner saying don't use /list
[01:06]	sears_hardware	including freenode and libera
[01:06]	schestowitz	aha
[01:06]	schestowitz	I was warned /list would get you banned/kicked out
[01:08]	MinceR	i thought that was an irssi feature
[01:08]	MinceR	and /list simply did nothing except give you a warning without -yes

[01:08]	DaemonFC	schestowitz, Uber people took over MetroMile this year.
[01:09]	schestowitz-TR	classy
[01:09]	schestowitz-TR	uber plan B
[01:09]	schestowitz-TR	let's be spying company
[01:09]	DaemonFC	"Metromile reported that on January 19, it discovered a cybersecurity incident arising out of a software bug related to its online pre-filled quote form and application process. Based on its initial investigation, Metromile determined that unknown persons exploited the software bug to obtain personal information of certain individuals, including individuals drivers license numbers, but, at this time, no customer data has been compromis

[01:09]	schestowitz-TR	RMS has long warned about their data collection
[01:09]	schestowitz-TR	esp. passengers'
[01:09]	DaemonFC	MetroMile?
[01:10]	DaemonFC	This probably explains their new behavior-based adjustments to your premiums.
[01:10]	DaemonFC	When I used them before it was just flat rate plus per-mile.
[01:10]	DaemonFC	It was totally based on a risk factor similar to what other companies would write a policy based on.

[01:25]	DaemonFC	AI claims
[01:26]	DaemonFC	LOL
[01:26]	DaemonFC	Yeah, my main use for the Impala is drive Mandy to work and grab food at where he works.
[01:26]	DaemonFC	So I don't put many miles on the car.
[01:27]	DaemonFC	If we go somewhere in Illinois and it's no further than half the state down, I usually take Metra and the CTA and Pace.
[01:27]	DaemonFC	So I only put about 400-500 miles a month on the car, normally.

[01:27]	DaemonFC	And that's like $13-15 in mileage on top of the $24 base.

[01:28]		-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-dpaste: Sum of Channel Populations
[01:28]	DaemonFC	$37-39 on a month where I just use the car to take Mandy to work and grocery shop, and then over there, the next cheapest is like $90-100 for Geico or Progressive. Every month.
[01:28]	DaemonFC	So even if I have a high month because we got out and saw mom over in Indiana or we went downstate for some reason, it's not going to average out higher than the flat rate companies.

[01:30]	DaemonFC	When I had an 826 FICO credit score, I had cheap car insurance offers from everybody.
[01:30]	schestowitz	sears_hardware: looking....
[01:30]	DaemonFC	I'd never pay more than $40-50 for liability coverage, ever.
[01:31]	DaemonFC	With some companies and in some states, going from excellent to bad credit can more than double your car insurance premiums.
[01:32]	DaemonFC	Geico sent me a "Fair Credit Reporting Act" notice that said "Factors" from a credit report were the reason I didn't get their best rate possible.
[01:33]	DaemonFC	So I just have to stick it out with some cheap and sketchy company that keeps me legal to drive until this bankruptcy is older.

[01:37]	schestowitz	me: you know what? Fuck your insurance companies
[01:37]	DaemonFC	When I got MetroMile the last time it was because I had bumped some stupid bitch in a parking lot who got out and had a meltdown over some paint that would buff out.
[01:37]	DaemonFC	"OH MY GOD YOU BETTER HAVE INSURANCE!".
[01:37]	schestowitz	insurance mandatory? Then fuck your cars. I'm out!
[01:37]	DaemonFC	Geico doubled my rate over what they claimed was a $1,400 incident.
[01:38]	DaemonFC	So I switched to Progressive, because they give you a bunch of one time discounts that disappear the first time you renew.
[01:38]	DaemonFC	But it got me 6 months in without paying those inflated rates.
[01:38]	DaemonFC	In that time, I moved to Illinois and saw MetroMile ads on the CTA, and got the device and plugged it into my car.

[11:26]	DaemonFC	Of course, there's lots of problems with having roommates, not the least of which is they can move out and break the lease and the total rent must then be paid by the remaining tenants, who are jointly responsble for the entire amount.
[11:27]	DaemonFC	The landlord can sue them, you can sue them, but you probably won't. More can be done to compel the people who are actually still living there.

[11:53]	DaemonFC	Beer, pizza, candy, donuts.
[11:53]	DaemonFC	Murrica!
[11:54]	activelow	the cv19 and vaccination campaign were *not* motivated by public health concerns (although relevant)
[11:54]	DaemonFC	Did you know that Six Flags will have a "free admissions day" if you're vaccinated?
[11:54]	DaemonFC	Then they do and a bunch of black people have a fist fight that spills out into the parking lot.
[11:54]	DaemonFC	They have to close the park halfway into the day while the Sheriff's department has to come out to back up the city cops.
[11:55]	DaemonFC	They're lucky that all it turned out to be was a fist fight and not block war.
[11:56]	DaemonFC	We can't get through one day in this county where they aren't causing trouble.
[11:56]	DaemonFC	And it's always over something stupid.
[11:56]	DaemonFC	We're living in a society where the mentality now is if you can get away with taking someone else's stuff, it's yours.
[11:57]	DaemonFC	Where murder and mayhem is all someone's fault except the guy with the gun and the gasoline bombs.
[11:58]	activelow	was only skimming through weekly news, mostly irelevant: https://www.dw.com/en/ecb-says-eu-banks-robust-after-stress-test/a-58710760

[11:58]	activelow	"and the world's oldest bank, Monte dei Paschi whose capital would be entirely wiped out under test conditions"
[11:59]	DaemonFC	They never tell the public what the stress test involves.
[11:59]	DaemonFC	And "assets" can easily be obtained by borrowing from the Fed at 0.00 and loaning the money back to the Fed at 0.25 now.
● Jul 31
[12:00]	DaemonFC	So you aren't likely to run into a bank that has insufficient capital.
[12:00]	DaemonFC	Isn't that nice?
[12:00]	activelow	yes, in Europe it is "TARGET2" positions accounted for as "asset"
[12:00]	DaemonFC	In the mean time, they don't have to pay depositors much of anything because of this.
[12:00]	DaemonFC	I moves some money over to "high interest savings" and only get 0.5.
[12:02]	DaemonFC	I need to call the state next week and get a number so I can apply for a license plate refund.
[12:02]	activelow	did you notice my remarks concerning rent i am paying? i mean it was almost 40000Euro real cash dumped into this flat here, of which i had payed 30000Euros myself
[12:02]	DaemonFC	With everything this stupid government has done to me, might as well take what I can get I guess.
[12:02]	activelow	tried to imagine, if i was able to decide about "investments" myself
[12:02]	DaemonFC	They can easily slip some lower income people cheap license plates.
[12:03]	DaemonFC	It actually costs them less than $4 to make two license plates for your car.
[12:03]	DaemonFC	After that, it's just a sticker each year that costs them less than $1.
[12:03]	DaemonFC	Besides, with the gas tax hikes, ugh.
[12:03]	DaemonFC	They just want it to be a pain to own a car.
[12:04]	DaemonFC	But they also don't want to provide public transit.
[12:05]	DaemonFC	<activelow> did you notice my remarks concerning rent i am paying? i mean it was almost 40000Euro real cash dumped into this flat here, of which i had payed 30000Euros myself
[12:05]	DaemonFC	I have no idea what local market conditions are like.
[12:05]	DaemonFC	A lot of what ends up being your rent in the area is how much of a pig the local government is to feed.
[12:05]	activelow	it isn't a market, and this is at the lower end of what is available
[12:05]	DaemonFC	Not how many jobs there are and what they pay, or actual demand for housing.
[12:06]	DaemonFC	The population of Waukegan, Illinois collapsed by about 10% over the last decade, but rents go up anyway.
[12:06]	DaemonFC	Imagine how bad things would be if people stayed and kept bidding prices up against each other on top of everything else.
[12:06]	activelow	in east-germany almost 50% of flats were abandoned late 90s

[12:07]	DaemonFC	Yes, the economic harm is likely permanent.
[12:07]	activelow	couldn't afford some safe space to store my books nonetheless, or to have a home to return to while i was relocation for internships regularly
[12:07]	activelow	*relocating
[12:07]	DaemonFC	In the same way that the southern US never economically recovered from the Civil War.

[12:08]	activelow	the facades and buildings received fresh painting after 1990 in east germany, roads and infrastructure rebuild, nonetheless the economy is weaker than before 1990 collapse
[12:08]	DaemonFC	That was entirely the fault of their secessionist governments, but the damage is done to many generations.
[12:08]	DaemonFC	They could have been an economic powerhouse.
[12:08]	DaemonFC	They're only now starting to look attractive due to air conditioning and low cost of living, and lower taxes.
[12:09]	DaemonFC	But people moving down there are causing the same problems they were fleeing.
[12:09]	DaemonFC	Bidding up the rents and home values, voting for programs that require taxes, etc.
[12:10]	activelow	DaemonFC: if at least i could have 50% of the rents myself, to maintain this flat, some fresh painting, furniture, repair some laminate
[12:10]	activelow	the "value" of this flat had increased 100%
[12:11]	DaemonFC	Landlords aren't interested, generally, in upkeep aside from not getting code violations or being able to attract new tenants.
[12:11]	DaemonFC	Our current landlord has been unusually responsive to repair requests compared to most of my others.
[12:12]	DaemonFC	I'll renew the lease here if he lets us. I don't see why he wouldn't. We've kept our heads down and paid the rent on time.

[12:13]	schestowitz	it spreads covid!
[12:13]	schestowitz	being cheap kills!
[12:13]	DaemonFC	I say if it'll hold up for at least 5-10 years and a single move, why not?
[12:13]	schestowitz	stringy frugal "DEATH CULT"!!
[12:13]	DaemonFC	I could throw away 25 mattresses from Walmart for every 1 that he wants to sell me.
[12:14]	DaemonFC	And his mattresses aren't going to make my sleep 25 times better. And if they rip while you're moving, you're going to be really mad.
[12:14]	schestowitz	now, it self-heals

[12:15]		-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-Germany could make unvaccinated pay for COVID tests report | News | DW | 31.07.2021
[12:15]	DaemonFC	They have other ads on the radio about mattress stores in Chicago without any employees in them.
[12:15]	DaemonFC	You just go in and use a kiosk to tell it what model, where to deliver, and slide your credit card.
[12:16]	DaemonFC	I wonder how many jobs that's costing. I mean, those Mattress Firm stores were everywhere and had at least a few people working there.
[12:16]	DaemonFC	The jobs dry up and soon there won't be anyone with credit cards to say where they want the mattress.
[12:17]	DaemonFC	But each individual company sees destroying jobs as good for their bottom line, when, cumulatively, it isn't.
[12:17]	DaemonFC	Because all businesses think that way, and then collectively nobody can shop there anymore.
[12:18]	DaemonFC	Then as fewer people can shop, other companies don't need as many workers, and those people get laid off, and it's a vicious cycle.
[12:19]	DaemonFC	Soon, there's enough of a productivity/income loss to the economy that they can't spend what they need to on healthcare, IT stuff, leisure products and activities, vacations, and durable goods.
[12:19]	DaemonFC	Goodbye to more jobs, which means goodbye to more jobs.
[12:20]	activelow	in germany science, engineering and industry are attacked
[12:20]	activelow	jobs which require decades of education, and cannot be rebuild quickly
[12:20]	DaemonFC	Facebook ads have doctor's offices in Chicago where you check in on a kiosk, no receptionist.
[12:20]	activelow	they still think they could have afforded this, since the consequences of this aren't obvious instantly
[12:20]	DaemonFC	Then you walk down a hallway and let a machine take your vital signs.
[12:21]	DaemonFC	Then you wait for the doctor.
[12:21]	DaemonFC	It's all pretty "sterile" in the sense that there's no contact. No rapport. No jobs.
[12:21]	kingoffrance	"So you aren't likely to run into a bank that has insufficient capital." yeah thats kind of how it goes
[12:21]	kingoffrance	banks are unstable...central bank is lender of last resort

[12:21]	kingoffrance	its one of those fractals
[12:22]	DaemonFC	One of my banks has always been branch-free.
[12:22]	DaemonFC	And the others are moving to that model.
[12:22]	kingoffrance	limecat staring into television sees himself, watching himself, ...
[12:22]	kingoffrance	you just make a new central central central bank to bail out the central central
[12:22]	DaemonFC	They assessed all these tens of thousands of branch locations where people don't use a lot of loan products and shut those branches down.
[12:22]	activelow	they'll soon realize a banking balance sheet is easily "fixed", while economic activity which requires decades of education and skilled workers and engieners isn't anymore

[12:26]	activelow	nonetheless industry reports lack of workforce, pension funds report lack of funding, and education system report declining quality

[12:33]	activelow	even if i wanted to, the capital damages of dozens of millions and loss of jobs, it is impossible to sustain any economic activity with the murderous corruption
[12:34]	activelow	so, instead the "victorious" of this agenda since 1990 expressed their joy about me loosing some few thousands of income, but they had missed the capital damages and loss of jobs
[12:36]	activelow	similar to stealing some books, and then they wonder no teacher existed
[12:36]	activelow	looting and plundering some young engineer, and then they wonder no university lecture is provided

[12:51]	activelow	in the most relevant fields of tech industry immigration is almost irelevant: maths, electronics
[12:51]	DaemonFC	Their concern is tilted more to keeping wages down than it is towards making products that work right.

[12:58]	DaemonFC	I hear they have some nice pension plans that would be even nicer if the state didn't steal from itself to pay its own corrupt officials and then still owe them the pension.
[12:59]	DaemonFC	MinceR, Lake County recently moved to get rid of a "mosquito abatement district" because it would "reduce inefficiency". Then I noticed something amusing.
[12:59]	DaemonFC	The district overtaxed residents for years and had accumulated about a million dollars in unspent funds that were sitting in a bank account. :)
● Jul 31
[13:00]	DaemonFC	In the mean time, it owns no equipment and has nobody on the payroll because it contracted with private companies to spray for the mosquitoes, which is honestly probably not even being done.
[13:00]	DaemonFC	Knowing how this state works.
[13:01]	MinceR	:>
[13:02]	DaemonFC	So it seems like a pretty easy score to just get rid of the district, keep the contracts, take the million bucks, and then keep the mosquito tax unchanged so that it keeps providing a "surplus" and they can say they didn't raise anyone's taxes.
[13:02]	DaemonFC	Which will technically be true.
[13:02]	DaemonFC	In fact, they say that spraying for mosquitoes is harmful to the environment and we should do it less.
[13:03]	DaemonFC	Translation: They cut down the sprayings and sure people get bit and sick but it saves the criminals running the county money that they can spend on themselves, so what the hell.

[18:01]	XRevan86	CrystalMath: Right. These choices are peculiar. It feels like the freenode branding is becoming redundant.
[18:01]	XRevan86	as IRC.com is the base for the SSO, and all the new fluff is there too
[18:02]	XRevan86	I wouldn't be surprised if eventually freenode will be phased out, being left only as an alias.
[18:04]	CrystalMath	it is a merge, but idk which name ends up winning
[18:04]	CrystalMath	IRC is shorter, i guess
[18:05]	MinceR	lol
[18:06]	XRevan86	CrystalMath: Well, yea, that part is obvious, and what I'm seeing points to the intention to deprecate freenode in favour of IRC.com.
[18:08]	XRevan86	And, because the freenode branding is ruined, rebranding is a good business decision anyway.
[18:09]	XRevan86	We should start talking smack about IRC.com/freenode both, to make sure both brands are affected :D

[20:55]	DaemonFC	schestowitz, WGN admitted that it was Microsoft products to blame for the Russian hack of the DoJ.
[20:55]	DaemonFC	I commented:
[20:56]	DaemonFC	Microsoft bribed their way into government, even as the private sector continues to move away from their products. Windows share of web servers collapsed from almost 30% to less than 24% in the past 12 months.
[20:56]	DaemonFC	Windows fell off the Top 500 supercomputers a long time ago.
[20:56]	DaemonFC	Meanwhile, various Linux-based operating systems are now in the majority in the consumer sector.
[20:56]	DaemonFC	(Including Android devices, and Chrome OS, which is a Gentoo-based Linux distribution which can run containerized desktop Linux applications in the Linux environment. As well as various desktop Linux distributions.)
[20:56]	DaemonFC	If you include tablets and phones in the consumer sector, Microsoft's usage share is in the 40% range and if you only include desktops and laptops, their share is in the 70s. A steep drop from the 94%+ they enjoyed just a decade ago and just in time for another incompatible disaster, they've labeled Windows "11" because Apple called theirs "11".
[20:56]	DaemonFC	Windows is horrendous. You go to update it and something breaks nearly every month. I installed a security update BIOS firmware from Lenovo and it tripped up Bitlocker and I had to reformat and reinstall my OS drive from the recovery disk. I mean, this is pitiful.
[20:56]	DaemonFC	The lawyer I hired for my spouse's immigration case used Microsoft mail and it was crashing all the time, meanwhile my GMail and stuff was up 100% of the time.
[20:56]	DaemonFC	Someone asked what Microsoft was doing about it. I replied,
[20:56]	DaemonFC	"Displaying a QR code and a frowny face, collecting an error report, and rebooting. This will only take a moment.
[20:56]	DaemonFC	(Have you considered Linux?) "
[20:57]	DaemonFC	"Hi.....Hello....How are you? That's a nice computer you've got there.....We're just getting a few things ready..... It'd be a shame if someone.....UPDATED IT. -Microsoft"
