| schestowitz__ | Windows is a cancer | Jan 16 18:39 |
| schestowitz__ | and so are its character encodings. | Jan 16 18:40 |
| schestowitz__ | From a message I just sent to a client: | Jan 16 18:40 |
| schestowitz__ | " | Jan 16 18:40 |
| schestowitz__ | This makes it easier to tackle the problem. We have at least identified a possible cause, even a likely cause. This sounds like an encoding issue, e.g. newline encoding in Windows (which is irregular). The WYSIWYG module was probably not designed to cope with it, so we can patch it, substitute it, or create a filter that strips or converts problematic characters. | Jan 16 18:40 |
| schestowitz__ | In order to reproduce this issue I looked for sample text files which use the Windows/DOS encoding: CR LF, \r\n, or 0x0D 0x0A (hexadecimal). This needs to be tested on the Windows guest we have access to in -----; can you confirm this issue was encountered under Windows and not other platforms? If not, which other platforms were used? Which Web browser? | Jan 16 18:40 |
| schestowitz__ | It is also possible that another formatting-related input character is confusing CKEditor, based on my readings on the Web (there are reports of similar issues). | Jan 16 18:40 |
| schestowitz__ | If you agree, I would like to go ahead and try some CKEditor configuration change, such as: | Jan 16 18:40 |
| schestowitz__ | 'pasteFromWordRemoveFontStyles' : true, | Jan 16 18:40 |
| schestowitz__ | 'pasteFromWordRemoveStyles' : true, | Jan 16 18:40 |
| schestowitz__ | There are additional toggle-able options in "Full HTML", "Filtered HTML" etc. Some appear to be relevant. Could you pass to us an example Word file with which to reproduce the issue? We can test on clone and alter the settings sensible until this problem goes away. We can try to change the editor to suit the users, rather than change users' habits in according to the editor's limitations. | Jan 16 18:40 |
| schestowitz__ | " | Jan 16 18:40 |
| schestowitz__ | " | Jan 16 18:51 |
| schestowitz__ | I have looked closely at this screenshot, taking into account other bits of information for further clues. | Jan 16 18:51 |
| schestowitz__ | The problem seems familiar. Basically, this seems to be browser- and operating system- (and PC-) agnostic. The CKEditor panel probably does not show up due to missing elements, potentially due to network disruptions that resulted in some key element (JavaScript file for example) not being received. This is similar to the erroneous/incomplete loading of pages (and caching thereof) when some image file cannot be delivered. | Jan 16 18:51 |
| schestowitz__ | Restarting the browser without clearing cache may result in repetition. It depends on timestamps and it depends on how caching is implemented in the browser. | Jan 16 18:51 |
| schestowitz__ | Without knowing the time of the incident it may be hard to search the Apache error logs corresponding to this incident (we also have no shell access to the server). So a 'post mortem' may be impractical here. | Jan 16 18:51 |
| schestowitz__ | Assuming this was a single incident and assuming it has not yet been reproduced, I would say that temporarily missing file is a likely cause. Before CKEditor or any rich editor/module is loaded it is normal to have a bare-bones editor; if it fails to load (missing file or another error), then you would expect it to 'fall back' onto what's seen in the screenshot. The box in the screenshot says "Full HTML", so it's not a human error | Jan 16 18:51 |

| schestowitz__ | Dear Roy, | Jan 17 22:59 |
| schestowitz__ | Last week, the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) became a paying and governing member of World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) (no, seriously). If there were any doubts that W3C was in bed with Big Hollywood, now it couldn't be more obvious. Together, W3C, the MPAA, and a handful of the world's most powerful web companies are preparing to build Digital Restrictions Management (DRM) deep into our public Web standards. We must | Jan 17 22:59 |
| schestowitz__ | stop them. | Jan 17 22:59 |
| schestowitz__ | Can you donate $25 to help us stop DRM from locking down the Web in 2014? | Jan 17 22:59 |
| schestowitz__ | The Web has come this far by sticking to its principles of freedom. The result was the world's most powerful distribution system, which of course the media companies now want to be a part of. They can, and should be a part of it, but on the same terms as everyone else, not on terms which give them special abilities. They can be a part of the Web, but not at the cost of breaking it. | Jan 17 22:59 |
| schestowitz__ | While DRM is advertised as a mechanism to prevent copyright infringement, it is actually designed to restrict all of the incredible possibilities enabled by digital technologies and place them under the control of a few, who can then micromanage and track every interaction with digital media. DRM requires that every user's computer have a back door through which media or Web companies can peer into in order to enforce the | Jan 17 22:59 |
| schestowitz__ | restrictions. In other words, DRM is designed to take away every possible use of digital media, regardless of legal rights, and sell some of these functionalities back as severely limited services. | Jan 17 22:59 |
| schestowitz__ | Defective by Design has been leading the charge against DRM since 2006. We've worked to educate publishers, record labels, and journalists about DRM as a threat to innovation in media, the privacy of readers, and freedom for computer users. We've put together resources like our DRM-free living guide to help people avoid DRM. And we've taken our message to the streets (and the online retailers) with our International Day Against | Jan 17 22:59 |
| schestowitz__ | DRM--donning everything from hazmat suits to elf costumes to disrupt business as usual for DRM purveyors. When we got wind that W3C was considering weaving allowances for DRM into the HTML standard, we mobilized the public and delivered a petition with over 22,500 signatures to W3C's doorstep, along with an award to recognize their role in locking down the Web. | Jan 17 22:59 |
| schestowitz__ | Defective by Design is ready to take on the W3C, the MPAA, and anyone else peddling the misguided idea that DRM does anybody but industry giants any good. These are some powerful opponents who are flush with cash they've made from the unethical practice of digitally restricting our media. But public opinion is on our side. What we need now is the funding to amplify our message to a wider audience than ever before. W3C chose the | Jan 17 22:59 |
| schestowitz__ | MPAA, Defective by Design chooses you. | Jan 17 22:59 |
| schestowitz__ | Please consider making a $25 donation to Defective by Design today. Every dollar you give will help us make DRM in HTML5 a PR nightmare for anyone pushing it. | Jan 17 22:59 |

| schestowitz__ | Right, but it's about trust then. Red Hat works with DOD and people near those circles warned me a bit. Also, as we have CESG as a client I know their concerns about build chains. I trust the NSA as much as I trust China and Red Hat as much as I trust Huawei (also a client of ours). Some years ago I read about China making RHEL derivatives with back doors (binary distribution); after all the NSA leaks can we assume that the West | Jan 18 01:14 |
| schestowitz__ | does not engage in similar behaviour? It's about who builds it, and who /with/. NSA hands over patched to RHT employees now (they say so, it's not just SELinux) and the build involves the NSA, AFAIK. | Jan 18 01:14 |

| schestowitz__ | Money is part of the problem. The "crisis" is manufactured and money is just paper; debt can be written off, especially if there's some kind of revolution (which the surveillance is designed to prevent). | Jan 18 18:37 |
| schestowitz__ | To summarise some key points of a chat my wife and I had with a Portuguese friend -- a man in his 60s who used to run the French (a resturant at at the Hotel, which he resigned from in protest after the Hotel had imposed style changes), interest rates have gone down for savers, house prices are soaring again, and many groups are pushed hard into debt in the UK. As savers (we don't agree on whether rates will go up or down), we can | Jan 18 18:37 |
| schestowitz__ | smile at the idea, but for many it's horrific. A friend of mine whom I grew up with since age 5 is happy to accuse his parents and their generation of ruining the conditions in which many youngsters now grow up (he is among the victims, well educated but doing assembly line jobs, even after getting a university degree). We can't blame the young for not finding jobs. It's the way it is by design. And we need to make it the norm to | Jan 18 18:37 |
| schestowitz__ | blame the older generations, some of whom, 2 generations up became our politicians and defended oligarchs. | Jan 18 18:37 |
| schestowitz__ | Most of the chat was about his recent vacation in Tenerife, which he says is now in bad state and mostly has old German and English (working class) coming to drink cheaply, get suntan, and get even more obese (eating plenty at buffets with low-quality food). He calls them "whales". I think that's a good sort of metaphor for what happens in Western society; these people eat and drink (booze) like there's no tomorrow, going on | Jan 18 18:37 |
| schestowitz__ | vacations in distant islands while youngsters carry banners down the streets, trying to call for justice while the coporate media (owned by older generations) tries to cast them "anarchists". | Jan 18 18:38 |
| schestowitz__ | I can't say I currently feel the "pain" many in my generation feel (I feel even bad for my sister's generation, she's only 17). In part, my hard work in recent years helped me escape office jobs that feel like prison. But I also know that if things go down the same s****er they're going in right now, then I too can end up deprives, afraid, isolated and weak. Unless you're a retirement age hero like William Binney you still have to | Jan 18 18:38 |
| schestowitz__ | navigate through decades of expected oppression (growing by the day) and if people are not willing to spare an hour a day on activism, then they'll all pay for it -- collectively -- some time later. | Jan 18 18:38 |
| schestowitz__ | I guess PJ feels like she has done enough for one lifetime. She has done her role as an activist -- yes, that's what she was, it's not a dirty worth; oughtn't be. | Jan 18 18:38 |

| schestowitz__ | Windows is a cancer | Jan 16 18:39 |
| schestowitz__ | and so are its character encodings. | Jan 16 18:39 |
| schestowitz__ | From a message I just sent to a client: | Jan 16 18:39 |
| schestowitz__ | " | Jan 16 18:39 |
| schestowitz__ | This makes it easier to tackle the problem. We have at least identified a possible cause, even a likely cause. This sounds like an encoding issue, e.g. newline encoding in Windows (which is irregular). The WYSIWYG module was probably not designed to cope with it, so we can patch it, substitute it, or create a filter that strips or converts problematic characters. | Jan 16 18:39 |
| schestowitz__ | In order to reproduce this issue I looked for sample text files which use the Windows/DOS encoding: CR LF, \r\n, or 0x0D 0x0A (hexadecimal). This needs to be tested on the Windows guest we have access to in -----; can you confirm this issue was encountered under Windows and not other platforms? If not, which other platforms were used? Which Web browser? | Jan 16 18:40 |
| schestowitz__ | It is also possible that another formatting-related input character is confusing CKEditor, based on my readings on the Web (there are reports of similar issues). | Jan 16 18:40 |
| schestowitz__ | If you agree, I would like to go ahead and try some CKEditor configuration change, such as: | Jan 16 18:40 |
| schestowitz__ | 'pasteFromWordRemoveFontStyles' : true, | Jan 16 18:40 |
| schestowitz__ | 'pasteFromWordRemoveStyles' : true, | Jan 16 18:40 |
| schestowitz__ | There are additional toggle-able options in "Full HTML", "Filtered HTML" etc. Some appear to be relevant. Could you pass to us an example Word file with which to reproduce the issue? We can test on clone and alter the settings sensible until this problem goes away. We can try to change the editor to suit the users, rather than change users' habits in according to the editor's limitations. | Jan 16 18:40 |
| schestowitz__ | " | Jan 16 18:40 |
| schestowitz__ | " | Jan 16 18:51 |
| schestowitz__ | I have looked closely at this screenshot, taking into account other bits of information for further clues. | Jan 16 18:51 |
| schestowitz__ | The problem seems familiar. Basically, this seems to be browser- and operating system- (and PC-) agnostic. The CKEditor panel probably does not show up due to missing elements, potentially due to network disruptions that resulted in some key element (JavaScript file for example) not being received. This is similar to the erroneous/incomplete loading of pages (and caching thereof) when some image file cannot be delivered. | Jan 16 18:51 |
| schestowitz__ | Restarting the browser without clearing cache may result in repetition. It depends on timestamps and it depends on how caching is implemented in the browser. | Jan 16 18:51 |
| schestowitz__ | Without knowing the time of the incident it may be hard to search the Apache error logs corresponding to this incident (we also have no shell access to the server). So a 'post mortem' may be impractical here. | Jan 16 18:51 |
| schestowitz__ | Assuming this was a single incident and assuming it has not yet been reproduced, I would say that temporarily missing file is a likely cause. Before CKEditor or any rich editor/module is loaded it is normal to have a bare-bones editor; if it fails to load (missing file or another error), then you would expect it to 'fall back' onto what's seen in the screenshot. The box in the screenshot says "Full HTML", so it's not a human error | Jan 16 18:51 |

| schestowitz__ | Dear Roy, | Jan 17 22:58 |
| schestowitz__ | Last week, the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) became a paying and governing member of World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) (no, seriously). If there were any doubts that W3C was in bed with Big Hollywood, now it couldn't be more obvious. Together, W3C, the MPAA, and a handful of the world's most powerful web companies are preparing to build Digital Restrictions Management (DRM) deep into our public Web standards. We must | Jan 17 22:58 |
| schestowitz__ | stop them. | Jan 17 22:58 |
| schestowitz__ | Can you donate $25 to help us stop DRM from locking down the Web in 2014? | Jan 17 22:58 |
| schestowitz__ | The Web has come this far by sticking to its principles of freedom. The result was the world's most powerful distribution system, which of course the media companies now want to be a part of. They can, and should be a part of it, but on the same terms as everyone else, not on terms which give them special abilities. They can be a part of the Web, but not at the cost of breaking it. | Jan 17 22:58 |
| schestowitz__ | While DRM is advertised as a mechanism to prevent copyright infringement, it is actually designed to restrict all of the incredible possibilities enabled by digital technologies and place them under the control of a few, who can then micromanage and track every interaction with digital media. DRM requires that every user's computer have a back door through which media or Web companies can peer into in order to enforce the | Jan 17 22:58 |
| schestowitz__ | restrictions. In other words, DRM is designed to take away every possible use of digital media, regardless of legal rights, and sell some of these functionalities back as severely limited services. | Jan 17 22:58 |
| schestowitz__ | Defective by Design has been leading the charge against DRM since 2006. We've worked to educate publishers, record labels, and journalists about DRM as a threat to innovation in media, the privacy of readers, and freedom for computer users. We've put together resources like our DRM-free living guide to help people avoid DRM. And we've taken our message to the streets (and the online retailers) with our International Day Against | Jan 17 22:58 |
| schestowitz__ | DRM--donning everything from hazmat suits to elf costumes to disrupt business as usual for DRM purveyors. When we got wind that W3C was considering weaving allowances for DRM into the HTML standard, we mobilized the public and delivered a petition with over 22,500 signatures to W3C's doorstep, along with an award to recognize their role in locking down the Web. | Jan 17 22:58 |
| schestowitz__ | Defective by Design is ready to take on the W3C, the MPAA, and anyone else peddling the misguided idea that DRM does anybody but industry giants any good. These are some powerful opponents who are flush with cash they've made from the unethical practice of digitally restricting our media. But public opinion is on our side. What we need now is the funding to amplify our message to a wider audience than ever before. W3C chose the | Jan 17 22:59 |
| schestowitz__ | MPAA, Defective by Design chooses you. | Jan 17 22:59 |
| schestowitz__ | Please consider making a $25 donation to Defective by Design today. Every dollar you give will help us make DRM in HTML5 a PR nightmare for anyone pushing it. | Jan 17 22:59 |

| schestowitz__ | Right, but it's about trust then. Red Hat works with DOD and people near those circles warned me a bit. Also, as we have CESG as a client I know their concerns about build chains. I trust the NSA as much as I trust China and Red Hat as much as I trust Huawei (also a client of ours). Some years ago I read about China making RHEL derivatives with back doors (binary distribution); after all the NSA leaks can we assume that the West | Jan 18 01:14 |
| schestowitz__ | does not engage in similar behaviour? It's about who builds it, and who /with/. NSA hands over patched to RHT employees now (they say so, it's not just SELinux) and the build involves the NSA, AFAIK. | Jan 18 01:14 |

| schestowitz__ | > Well, okay, so write your own compiler. But do you trust your system's | Jan 18 01:14 |
| schestowitz__ | > firmware? | Jan 18 01:14 |
| schestowitz__ | No, firmware is a known problem and hardware in general is a threat, especially not if it's something with UEFI for instance... we recently heard about BIOS as a bricking mechanism. But pointing to levels below the OS is basically diverting attention to other perceived threats. | Jan 18 01:14 |

| schestowitz__ | > The rabbit hole goes down a long way, you know... | Jan 18 01:14 |
| schestowitz__ | Yes, which is what RMS was right on many things and we need to encourage transparency in the whole process, and increase indpendent peer review. | Jan 18 01:14 |

There might not be an "alternative" to skype, but really ... is skype itself any alternative, knowing the fact that it's so inherently insecure?

| schestowitz__ | "Hey Roy, I always wondered how you can post such political stuff while living in the UK. It's miracle that they haven't caught you at an airport yet, or something. :P Thanks for all the stuff you post, you are putting a lot of effort and time into it. I like the mix of foss and political stuff. Exactly meets my own interests. :) Greetings from Berlin, Yannick" | Jan 18 03:01 |

| schestowitz__ | Money is part of the problem. The "crisis" is manufactured and money is just paper; debt can be written off, especially if there's some kind of revolution (which the surveillance is designed to prevent). | Jan 18 18:37 |
| schestowitz__ | To summarise some key points of a chat my wife and I had with a Portuguese friend -- a man in his 60s who used to run the French (a resturant at at the Hotel, which he resigned from in protest after the Hotel had imposed style changes), interest rates have gone down for savers, house prices are soaring again, and many groups are pushed hard into debt in the UK. As savers (we don't agree on whether rates will go up or down), we can | Jan 18 18:37 |
| schestowitz__ | smile at the idea, but for many it's horrific. A friend of mine whom I grew up with since age 5 is happy to accuse his parents and their generation of ruining the conditions in which many youngsters now grow up (he is among the victims, well educated but doing assembly line jobs, even after getting a university degree). We can't blame the young for not finding jobs. It's the way it is by design. And we need to make it the norm to | Jan 18 18:37 |
| schestowitz__ | blame the older generations, some of whom, 2 generations up became our politicians and defended oligarchs. | Jan 18 18:37 |
| schestowitz__ | Most of the chat was about his recent vacation in Tenerife, which he says is now in bad state and mostly has old German and English (working class) coming to drink cheaply, get suntan, and get even more obese (eating plenty at buffets with low-quality food). He calls them "whales". I think that's a good sort of metaphor for what happens in Western society; these people eat and drink (booze) like there's no tomorrow, going on | Jan 18 18:37 |
| schestowitz__ | vacations in distant islands while youngsters carry banners down the streets, trying to call for justice while the coporate media (owned by older generations) tries to cast them "anarchists". | Jan 18 18:37 |
| schestowitz__ | I can't say I currently feel the "pain" many in my generation feel (I feel even bad for my sister's generation, she's only 17). In part, my hard work in recent years helped me escape office jobs that feel like prison. But I also know that if things go down the same s****er they're going in right now, then I too can end up deprives, afraid, isolated and weak. Unless you're a retirement age hero like William Binney you still have to | Jan 18 18:37 |
| schestowitz__ | navigate through decades of expected oppression (growing by the day) and if people are not willing to spare an hour a day on activism, then they'll all pay for it -- collectively -- some time later. | Jan 18 18:37 |
| schestowitz__ | I guess PJ feels like she has done enough for one lifetime. She has done her role as an activist -- yes, that's what she was, it's not a dirty worth; oughtn't be. | Jan 18 18:37 |
