schestowitz_bed2> Roy,Jan 01 23:57
schestowitz_bed2>Jan 01 23:57
schestowitz_bed2> SUEPO is certainly opposed to Battistelli and his management of the EPO.Jan 01 23:57
schestowitz_bed2> That is stated fairly openly in many of their fliers.Jan 01 23:57
schestowitz_bed2> For example: http://www.suepo.org/public/su14294cp.pdfJan 01 23:57
schestowitz_bed2>Jan 01 23:57
schestowitz_bed2> However, the point we were trying to make is that SUEPO officials andJan 01 23:57
schestowitz_bed2> active members are currently being targeted by EPO management andJan 01 23:57
schestowitz_bed2> subjected to disciplinary proceedings on the slightest pretext.Jan 01 23:57
schestowitz_bed2>Jan 01 23:57
schestowitz_bed2> If an EPO-critical site like Techrights issues statements giving theJan 01 23:57
schestowitz_bed2> impression that is making "common cause" with SUEPO, that could beJan 01 23:57
schestowitz_bed2> exploited by Battistelli as a pretext to initiate furtherJan 01 23:57
schestowitz_bed2> "investigations" against SUEPO people, for example by alleging that theyJan 01 23:57
schestowitz_bed2> are leaking information to "unauthorised" third parties (i.e. Techrights).Jan 01 23:57
schestowitz_bed2>Jan 01 23:57
schestowitz_bed2> As we said, there's no issue with the content of your articles which areJan 01 23:57
schestowitz_bed2> spot-on in the criticisms that they raise.Jan 01 23:57
schestowitz_bed2> It was more a question of it being better not to give the impressionJan 01 23:57
schestowitz_bed2> that SUEPO is actively "collaborating" with you or feeding your siteJan 01 23:57
schestowitz_bed2> with information. Some of your sources might be affiliated with SUEPOJan 01 23:57
schestowitz_bed2> but we assume that they are acting in a private capacity.Jan 01 23:57
schestowitz_bed2>Jan 01 23:57
schestowitz_bed2> Anyway, as we said we were just passing on the message.Jan 01 23:57
schestowitz_bed2> Don't get impression that we were criticising your contributions.Jan 01 23:57
schestowitz_bed2> Keep up the good work in 2015 ... :-)Jan 01 23:57
schestowitz_bed2I got the point. I will refrain from repeating this in the future. In some previous posts I deliberately omitted or deleted mentions of SUEPO.Jan 01 23:57

schestowitz_bed2That will happen to your sites no matter how small you make things. You are under continued DDoS attack and are blacklisted with other gnu/linux sites by the UK porn filter. I imagine the blacklists are shared and remember a US high school also blocking the FSF. The great firewall of China works by slowing down and otherwise making blacklisted sites look flaky.Jan 02 00:03
schestowitz_bed2Do you have a raw video that I might try to transcribe for you as an example? This one looks like a nice candidate. I'd be happy to do some tests and host the result.Jan 02 00:03

schestowitz_bed2"How about 40% size decrease with a modest quality increase? I used one of the highly compressed files to start with, so the quality increase may be a matter of taste. The blocky pixels are averaged out. Starting out with a higher quality original would probably not increase the resulting file size but it would make a better quality video."Jan 02 00:05

schestowitz_bed2> spot-on in the criticisms that they raise.Jan 01 23:59
schestowitz_bed2> It was more a question of it being better not to give the impressionJan 01 23:59
schestowitz_bed2> that SUEPO is actively "collaborating" with you or feeding your siteJan 01 23:59
schestowitz_bed2> with information. Some of your sources might be affiliated with SUEPOJan 01 23:59
schestowitz_bed2> but we assume that they are acting in a private capacity.Jan 01 23:59

schestowitz_bed2> Anyway, as we said we were just passing on the message.Jan 01 23:59
