schestowitz[14:34] <schestowitz> for instance, it's timing out when I request http://techrights.org/2016/02/24/wipo-misconduct-and-epo/Feb 29 11:33
schestowitz[14:34] <schestowitz> it also times out in the mediawiki sideFeb 29 11:33

schestowitz[14:34] <schestowitz> so I don't think it's CMS-specificFeb 29 11:33
schestowitz[14:34] <schestowitz> There's nothing too nefarious in the http logsFeb 29 11:33
schestowitz[14:34] <schestowitz> "Error 503 Service Unavailable"Feb 29 11:33
schestowitz[14:34] <schestowitz> Very common for a lot of page requests at wordpress level, sometimes can't reach databaseFeb 29 11:33
schestowitz[14:35] <schestowitz> for the wiki it's habitually saying the DB isn't there, or there's a timeoutFeb 29 11:33
schestowitz[14:35] <schestowitz> mysql load always seems to be extremely highFeb 29 11:33
schestowitz[14:35] <schestowitz> as soon as I bring httpd back up it goes to around 200-300%Feb 29 11:33
schestowitz[14:37] <schestowitz> I started fail2ban thinking it might catch some offending address, but there's almost noneFeb 29 11:33
schestowitz[14:37] <schestowitz> judging by varnishstat not many pages are being served overall, traffic is a lot lower than usualFeb 29 11:33
schestowitz[14:38] <SYSADMIN> Do you have the mysql root password? The one in my notes is not working...Feb 29 11:33
schestowitz[14:38] <schestowitz> so I thought, maybe something in the link between the DB and the rest, or the techrights VM and Varnish server (network link or something related to this)Feb 29 11:33
schestowitz[14:38] <schestowitz> let me checkFeb 29 11:33
schestowitz[14:38] <SYSADMIN> I don't see any network or hardware problems. All I see is mysql using a lot of cpu time.Feb 29 11:33
schestowitz[14:38] <SYSADMIN> And that isn't even all that unusual.Feb 29 11:33
schestowitz[14:39] <schestowitz> my notes say it's the same password as for the serverFeb 29 11:33
schestowitz[14:39] <schestowitz> ....Feb 29 11:33
schestowitz[14:42] <SYSADMIN> I don't seem to have that one. Can you put it into a file in root's homedir?Feb 29 11:34
schestowitz[14:42] <SYSADMIN> found itFeb 29 11:34
schestowitz[14:43] <SYSADMIN> It's already in such a file.Feb 29 11:34
schestowitz[14:44] <schestowitz> if it boils down to a DB issue, that might help explain much of the troubleFeb 29 11:34
schestowitz[14:44] <schestowitz> some of the media is now linking to techrights (regarding EPO), but I don't think it caused any major, unprecedented surge in trafficFeb 29 11:34

schestowitz[14:46] <SYSADMIN> Looks like mysql may be maxing out the cpu on the server. I am going to add a couple more cores to the VM but that will require a reboot. Stand by...Feb 29 11:34
schestowitz[14:46] <SYSADMIN> mysql is definitely very busyFeb 29 11:34
schestowitz[14:47] <schestowitz> ok, maybe it's due to traffic, but odd... the only explanation I can com e up with, traffic piled up, overwhelming the DB to the point where it couldn't serve almost anything at allFeb 29 11:34
schestowitz[14:47] <SYSADMIN> That's my current guess.Feb 29 11:34
schestowitz[14:48] <SYSADMIN> Everything looks perfectly fine hardware and network-wise.Feb 29 11:34
schestowitz[14:48] <schestowitz> which is odd, I didn't expect this given the circumstances, esp. given that we dealt with things like Reddit front page beforeFeb 29 11:34

schestowitz[15:00] <schestowitz> Hours ago I hypothesised that maybe something targets the database rather than demand lots of pagesFeb 29 11:34
schestowitz[15:00] <schestowitz> as sometimes restarting the DB seemed to have helped , even if not by much and maybe it was just a coincidenceFeb 29 11:34
schestowitz[15:01] <schestowitz> one thing I do know is that some people do want the site offline right now, and it's assumed that they already attacked (DDOS) their staff union's site, which submitted a report to Dutch authorities about itFeb 29 11:34

schestowitz> xxxxMar 01 19:45
schestowitzHi xxx,Mar 01 19:45
schestowitzI hear what you are saying, but for a number of months I've syndicated -- over RSS -- all blog comments in IP Kat. I note that:Mar 01 19:46
schestowitz1. No more EPO comments are appearing (there used to be dozens per day)Mar 01 19:46
schestowitz2. A xxxxx-signed post stated explicitly that comments about EPO will be deletedMar 01 19:46
schestowitz3. People online tell me their comments are deletedMar 01 19:46
schestowitz4. It is unreasonable to believe that only comments with rumours are being deleted/not allowedMar 01 19:46
schestowitzI could think of others, but I forgot while typing the above (maybe my age catches up with me).Mar 01 19:46
schestowitzEarlier today I learned about gag attempts against German media, or German media's reluctance to cover EPO matters (as though this is centrally planned, a la immigration issues). I just wondered if IP Kat too was somehow affected. We're dealing with something rather extraordinary right now. Yesterday I had major technical issues with my site.Mar 01 19:46
schestowitzI should also note that WIPR has had some self-censorship issues and EPO PR issues... some of this I cannot publicly comment about (confidentiality), but I want us to strive to promote an open dialogue for the betterment of the EPO, even if it means toppling the current management. IP Kat is a leading British blog, and I want to continue to have full trust in it.Mar 01 19:46
schestowitzLook what the EPO has already done to some IP blogs by literally paying them. We're running out of reliable sources here. You and IP Watch are all there's left in Europe IMHO.Mar 01 19:46
schestowitz> Dear Dr SchestowitzMar 01 19:46
schestowitz> Mar 01 19:46
schestowitz> Thank you for your email.Mar 01 19:46
schestowitz>Mar 01 19:46
schestowitz> The position is as we said.  There has been no change in our moderation policy.Mar 01 19:46
schestowitz>Mar 01 19:46
schestowitz> The number of comments relating to the EPO has indeed slowed extremely - as you will know from following our comments, they peak immediately after a post and slow considerably after a few days. The Merpel post to which you refer did not say thatMar 01 19:46
schestowitz> comments about the EPO would be deleted - it said that particular post about what happened at last week’s Board 28 meeting would be closed to comments, and that (so that this could not be circumvented) comments on that topic would not be permitted on other threads.Mar 01 19:46
schestowitz>Mar 01 19:46
schestowitz> You say that people tell you their comments are deleted (or more correctly, as you note, not allowed through moderation)  - this is completely consistent with our policy, and it is completely reasonable to believe that only comments are Mar 01 19:46
schestowitz> deleted that do not comply with the policy as we have stated it.Mar 01 19:46
schestowitz>Mar 01 19:46
schestowitz> Best wishesMar 01 19:46
schestowitzThanks, xxxx. In that case, I look forward to seeing further comments on the topic, probably as soon as your next article on this matter gets published.Mar 01 19:46
schestowitzI currently inquire around the German media in Munich to find out why they're totally ignoring the latest developments. I actually know the reason (it was sort leaked to me), but I first give them a chance to admit this. The EPO is working hard against journalism. It's least successful in the Dutch media; the British media has actually spiked pieces about the topic (like the ongoing work at the BBC to cover this scandal).Mar 01 19:46
schestowitzWe're not dealing with an ordinary organisation here, and when cornered it only gets more aggressive. It's not timid.Mar 01 19:46

schestowitz"The SR also noted we did not share their vision of priority: the "house is burning" and the head of the HR department finds no more urgent things to talk with Staff representatives than about their personal rewards? The SR stressed that it was a wrong priority altogether: while there is indeed a large issue of resources of the Staff Representation altogether, and the administration should focus on the fact that many officials are Mar 04 20:17

schestowitz3) Memorandum of (Mis)Understanding vs. Framework Agreement: just do it! Moving to the next issue, PD 4.3 presented this chosen assembly of SRs the "final version of the MoU that will be presented to the Union" next week, while clarifying that the addressees would "take their responsibilities in signing or not signing" said "final document". Further the administration indicated that at this stage it seemed that SUEPO would not sign the Mar 04 20:20
schestowitzMoU.Mar 04 20:20
schestowitzThe SR took note of the document but clarified that this chosen assembly of SRs were presumably the wrong addressees as such talks should take place with union and made little sense if it did not have the support of the largest of them by far, SUEPO.Mar 04 20:20
schestowitzthat amongst others the union had made it clear that initially the threats, then the suspensions, and now the disciplinary measures, incl firing high ranking Union officials, were not allowing SUEPO to nego ate such agreement in the first place (see below) independently from its content. hat said union had filed officially a proposal 2 years ago (link) and to our knowledge the EPO had failed to comment upon it. (see a ached proposals for Mar 04 20:20

schestowitzconsidered a „consultation“ cannot qualify under any standard as bona fide consultation.Mar 04 20:21
schestowitzThe point was mad that signing the MoU could be an indeed an important tool to discuss and solveMar 04 20:21
schestowitzproblems at hand. Unfortunately for the moment the signature of such an agreement seemedMar 04 20:21
schestowitzonly wishful thinking.Mar 04 20:21
schestowitzAs a last personal remark, one should note that in the History of SUEPO-EPO relationship, there a manyMar 04 20:21

schestowitz6) “Misunderstandings have very short legs”...Mar 04 20:29
schestowitzIn this light, the reader will draw his own conclusion on the coincidence of the following statements made in "the Register“ two days after the meeting:Mar 04 20:29
schestowitz„The EPO extends and olive branch to furious trade unions“Mar 04 20:29
schestowitz"Determined efforts underway to defuse ticking me bomb“Mar 04 20:29
schestowitz"The nego a on of the new MoUs has led to a "very positive atmosphere" in recent days, the organization said.“Mar 04 20:29
schestowitz„The EPO assured us that the president intends to stay on until his term ends in 2018."Mar 04 20:29
schestowitzPersonally, I believe that at least the last point is very true.... Interettingly enough, after the Union denied the above, theRegister investigated and published a clarification:Mar 04 20:29
schestowitz“the EPO got back in contact with us to point out that there had been a "misunderstanding" during our conversation over SUEPO's willingness to sign the document. A similar misunderstanding also seemingly occurred when we reported that the revised version of the "request" to EPO management would remove direct criticism of Battstelli.”Mar 04 20:29
schestowitzDespite the impeccable British understatement, it looks like the journalist may not to be entirely amused of the series of “misunderstandings” from the side of the EPO PR-campaign.Mar 04 20:29
schestowitz"Mar 04 20:29
schestowitz7) What’s next?Mar 04 20:31
schestowitz· Staff: the strike ballot in the coming days may be a chance to show Mr Battstelli and the interested circles what staff really thinks.Mar 04 20:31
schestowitz· Press& Media: we can assume that the level of coverage is going to be fairly high in the coming weeks until the next AC. let us all hope that the damages for the already hit reputation of the Office is going to be contained...Mar 04 20:31
schestowitz· AC: So if the delegations or their ministries behind are serious about finding a quick solu on, they should also be clear about the fact that, despite the clear message, the President has no intention to leave.Mar 04 20:31

schestowitz[14:31] <schestowitz> In summary: around 9 or 10 the site started timing out, sending meditation guru pages through to the visitorsFeb 29 11:33
schestowitz[14:31] <schestowitz> sometimes the DB cannot be reachedFeb 29 11:33
schestowitz[14:31] <schestowitz> tuxmachines has no issue with itFeb 29 11:33
schestowitz[14:32] <SYSADMIN> Is it back up for you? I just restarted apache/varnish. But the machine seemed ok. I should have checked the site first.Feb 29 11:33
schestowitz[14:32] <schestowitz> I tried restarting the DB, httpd, checked system logs/messages, restarted varnish serverFeb 29 11:33
schestowitz[14:32] <SYSADMIN> I don't see any problem.Feb 29 11:33
schestowitz[14:33] <schestowitz> I think the problem is at the level of techrights server/VM, it's always at around load of 4 and yet it doesn't serve many of the pages requested by usersFeb 29 11:33
schestowitz[14:33] <SYSADMIN> Ah, maybe it's just techrights...the hardware is up and ok...Feb 29 11:33
schestowitz[14:33] <schestowitz> sometimes the DB is not reachableFeb 29 11:33
schestowitz[14:34] <schestowitz> for instance, it's timing out when I request http://techrights.org/2016/02/24/wipo-misconduct-and-epo/Feb 29 11:33
schestowitz[14:34] <schestowitz> it also times out in the mediawiki sideFeb 29 11:33
schestowitz[14:34] <schestowitz> front page (Drupal) also affectedFeb 29 11:33
-TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-techrights.org | Possible Connections Found Between WIPO Misconduct and “a Dozen Serious Criminal Charges” Against EPO’s Željko Topić | Techrights [ http://ur1.ca/ol2xw ]Feb 29 11:33
schestowitz[14:34] <schestowitz> so I don't think it's CMS-specificFeb 29 11:33
schestowitz[14:34] <schestowitz> There's nothing too nefarious in the http logsFeb 29 11:33
schestowitz[14:34] <schestowitz> "Error 503 Service Unavailable"Feb 29 11:33
schestowitz[14:34] <schestowitz> Very common for a lot of page requests at wordpress level, sometimes can't reach databaseFeb 29 11:33
schestowitz[14:35] <schestowitz> for the wiki it's habitually saying the DB isn't there, or there's a timeoutFeb 29 11:33
schestowitz[14:35] <schestowitz> mysql load always seems to be extremely highFeb 29 11:33
schestowitz[14:35] <schestowitz> as soon as I bring httpd back up it goes to around 200-300%Feb 29 11:33
schestowitz[14:37] <schestowitz> I started fail2ban thinking it might catch some offending address, but there's almost noneFeb 29 11:33
schestowitz[14:37] <schestowitz> judging by varnishstat not many pages are being served overall, traffic is a lot lower than usualFeb 29 11:33
schestowitz[14:38] <SYSADMIN> Do you have the mysql root password? The one in my notes is not working...Feb 29 11:33
schestowitz[14:38] <schestowitz> so I thought, maybe something in the link between the DB and the rest, or the techrights VM and Varnish server (network link or something related to this)Feb 29 11:33
schestowitz[14:38] <schestowitz> let me checkFeb 29 11:33
schestowitz[14:38] <SYSADMIN> I don't see any network or hardware problems. All I see is mysql using a lot of cpu time.Feb 29 11:33
schestowitz[14:38] <SYSADMIN> And that isn't even all that unusual.Feb 29 11:33
schestowitz[14:39] <schestowitz> my notes say it's the same password as for the serverFeb 29 11:33
schestowitz[14:39] <schestowitz> ....Feb 29 11:33
schestowitz[14:42] <SYSADMIN> I don't seem to have that one. Can you put it into a file in root's homedir?Feb 29 11:34
schestowitz[14:42] <SYSADMIN> found itFeb 29 11:34
schestowitz[14:43] <SYSADMIN> It's already in such a file.Feb 29 11:34
schestowitz[14:44] <schestowitz> if it boils down to a DB issue, that might help explain much of the troubleFeb 29 11:34
schestowitz[14:44] <schestowitz> some of the media is now linking to techrights (regarding EPO), but I don't think it caused any major, unprecedented surge in trafficFeb 29 11:34
schestowitz[14:44] [Notice] -NickServ- schestowitz_log_!~schestowi@host109-153-30-64.range109-153.btcentralplus.com has just authenticated as you (schestowitz)Feb 29 11:34
schestowitz[14:46] <SYSADMIN> Looks like mysql may be maxing out the cpu on the server. I am going to add a couple more cores to the VM but that will require a reboot. Stand by...Feb 29 11:34
schestowitz[14:46] <SYSADMIN> mysql is definitely very busyFeb 29 11:34
schestowitz[14:47] <schestowitz> ok, maybe it's due to traffic, but odd... the only explanation I can com e up with, traffic piled up, overwhelming the DB to the point where it couldn't serve almost anything at allFeb 29 11:34
schestowitz[14:47] <SYSADMIN> That's my current guess.Feb 29 11:34
schestowitz[14:48] <SYSADMIN> Everything looks perfectly fine hardware and network-wise.Feb 29 11:34
schestowitz[14:48] <schestowitz> which is odd, I didn't expect this given the circumstances, esp. given that we dealt with things like Reddit front page beforeFeb 29 11:34

schestowitz[14:57] <SYSADMIN> Well, if giving it two cores helped some let's give it the last two cores in the machine and see if that helps even more...Feb 29 11:34
schestowitz[14:58] <schestowitz> worth tryingFeb 29 11:34
schestowitz[14:59] <schestowitz> right now the EPO is in the verge of collapse, it's in the media, linking to the site, but not sure I'm seeing evidence of too much trafficFeb 29 11:34
schestowitz[15:00] <schestowitz> Hours ago I hypothesised that maybe something targets the database rather than demand lots of pagesFeb 29 11:34
schestowitz[15:00] <schestowitz> as sometimes restarting the DB seemed to have helped , even if not by much and maybe it was just a coincidenceFeb 29 11:34
schestowitz[15:01] <schestowitz> one thing I do know is that some people do want the site offline right now, and it's assumed that they already attacked (DDOS) their staff union's site, which submitted a report to Dutch authorities about itFeb 29 11:34
schestowitz[15:01] <SYSADMIN> That is a ral issue. Sometimes they do target one specific part of the stack for DDoS.Feb 29 11:34

schestowitz    Did EPO say or do something? Why are comments about the EPO being deleted now? I'm wondering because I sense there's some fear over libel lawsuits...Mar 01 19:45

schestowitz> Mar 01 19:45
schestowitz> Thank you for your email.  You may be labouring under aMar 01 19:45

schestowitz> is widely understood.Mar 01 19:45
schestowitz> Mar 01 19:45
schestowitz> The IPKat does not allow comments that are defamatory, offensive, orMar 01 19:45
schestowitz> malicious.  Equally, we do not publish, either in our blogposts or inMar 01 19:45
schestowitz> comments, unsubstantiated rumour, gossip or fantasy, and such commentsMar 01 19:45
schestowitz> have always been deleted as a matter of course.  Mar 01 19:45
schestowitz> Mar 01 19:45
schestowitz> You mention “fear of libel lawsuits”.  We do not operate this policy outMar 01 19:45

schestowitz> xxxxMar 01 19:45
schestowitzHi xxx,Mar 01 19:45
schestowitzI hear what you are saying, but for a number of months I've syndicated -- over RSS -- all blog comments in IP Kat. I note that:Mar 01 19:46
schestowitz1. No more EPO comments are appearing (there used to be dozens per day)Mar 01 19:46
schestowitz2. A xxxxx-signed post stated explicitly that comments about EPO will be deletedMar 01 19:46
schestowitz3. People online tell me their comments are deletedMar 01 19:46
schestowitz4. It is unreasonable to believe that only comments with rumours are being deleted/not allowedMar 01 19:46
schestowitzI could think of others, but I forgot while typing the above (maybe my age catches up with me).Mar 01 19:46
schestowitzEarlier today I learned about gag attempts against German media, or German media's reluctance to cover EPO matters (as though this is centrally planned, a la immigration issues). I just wondered if IP Kat too was somehow affected. We're dealing with something rather extraordinary right now. Yesterday I had major technical issues with my site.Mar 01 19:46
schestowitzI should also note that WIPR has had some self-censorship issues and EPO PR issues... some of this I cannot publicly comment about (confidentiality), but I want us to strive to promote an open dialogue for the betterment of the EPO, even if it means toppling the current management. IP Kat is a leading British blog, and I want to continue to have full trust in it.Mar 01 19:46
schestowitzLook what the EPO has already done to some IP blogs by literally paying them. We're running out of reliable sources here. You and IP Watch are all there's left in Europe IMHO.Mar 01 19:46
schestowitz> Dear Dr SchestowitzMar 01 19:46
schestowitz> Mar 01 19:46
schestowitz> Thank you for your email.Mar 01 19:46
schestowitz>Mar 01 19:46
schestowitz> The position is as we said.  There has been no change in our moderation policy.Mar 01 19:46
schestowitz>Mar 01 19:46
schestowitz> The number of comments relating to the EPO has indeed slowed extremely - as you will know from following our comments, they peak immediately after a post and slow considerably after a few days. The Merpel post to which you refer did not say thatMar 01 19:46
schestowitz> comments about the EPO would be deleted - it said that particular post about what happened at last week’s Board 28 meeting would be closed to comments, and that (so that this could not be circumvented) comments on that topic would not be permitted on other threads.Mar 01 19:46
schestowitz>Mar 01 19:46
schestowitz> You say that people tell you their comments are deleted (or more correctly, as you note, not allowed through moderation)  - this is completely consistent with our policy, and it is completely reasonable to believe that only comments are Mar 01 19:46
schestowitz> deleted that do not comply with the policy as we have stated it.Mar 01 19:46
schestowitz>Mar 01 19:46
schestowitz> Best wishesMar 01 19:46
schestowitzThanks, xxxx. In that case, I look forward to seeing further comments on the topic, probably as soon as your next article on this matter gets published.Mar 01 19:46
schestowitzI currently inquire around the German media in Munich to find out why they're totally ignoring the latest developments. I actually know the reason (it was sort leaked to me), but I first give them a chance to admit this. The EPO is working hard against journalism. It's least successful in the Dutch media; the British media has actually spiked pieces about the topic (like the ongoing work at the BBC to cover this scandal).Mar 01 19:46
schestowitzWe're not dealing with an ordinary organisation here, and when cornered it only gets more aggressive. It's not timid.Mar 01 19:46

schestowitzThe Python web site already has a list of IDEs and editors with about as much useful information about each of them, but the list is much longer.

-TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-@nosniborja: @SpaJw irony is that @schestowitz makes some valid points about what happens at EPO and is excellent source of information...Mar 04 19:01
schestowitz"The SR also noted we did not share their vision of priority: the "house is burning" and the head of the HR department finds no more urgent things to talk with Staff representatives than about their personal rewards? The SR stressed that it was a wrong priority altogether: while there is indeed a large issue of resources of the Staff Representation altogether, and the administration should focus on the fact that many officials are Mar 04 20:17

Moving to the next issue, PD 4.3 presented this chosen assembly of SRs the "final version of the MoU that will be presented to the Union" next week, while clarifying that the addressees would "take their responsibilities in signing or not signing" said "final document". Further the administration indicated that at this stage it seemed that SUEPO would not sign the Mar 04 20:20
schestowitzMoU.Mar 04 20:20
schestowitzThe SR took note of the document but clarified that this chosen assembly of SRs were presumably the wrong addressees as such talks should take place with union and made little sense if it did not have the support of the largest of them by far, SUEPO.Mar 04 20:20
schestowitzthat amongst others the union had made it clear that initially the threats, then the suspensions, and now the disciplinary measures, incl firing high ranking Union officials, were not allowing SUEPO to nego ate such agreement in the first place (see below) independently from its content. hat said union had filed officially a proposal 2 years ago (link) and to our knowledge the EPO had failed to comment upon it. (see a ached proposals for Mar 04 20:20

schestowitz6) “Misunderstandings have very short legs”...Mar 04 20:29
schestowitzIn this light, the reader will draw his own conclusion on the coincidence of the following statements made in "the Register“ two days after the meeting:Mar 04 20:29
schestowitz„The EPO extends and olive branch to furious trade unions“Mar 04 20:29
schestowitz"Determined efforts underway to defuse ticking me bomb“Mar 04 20:29
schestowitz"The nego a on of the new MoUs has led to a "very positive atmosphere" in recent days, the organization said.“Mar 04 20:29
schestowitz„The EPO assured us that the president intends to stay on until his term ends in 2018."Mar 04 20:29
schestowitzPersonally, I believe that at least the last point is very true.... Interettingly enough, after the Union denied the above, theRegister investigated and published a clarification:Mar 04 20:29
schestowitz“the EPO got back in contact with us to point out that there had been a "misunderstanding" during our conversation over SUEPO's willingness to sign the document. A similar misunderstanding also seemingly occurred when we reported that the revised version of the "request" to EPO management would remove direct criticism of Battstelli.”Mar 04 20:29
schestowitzDespite the impeccable British understatement, it looks like the journalist may not to be entirely amused of the series of “misunderstandings” from the side of the EPO PR-campaign.Mar 04 20:29

schestowitz· Staff: the strike ballot in the coming days may be a chance to show Mr Battstelli and the interested circles what staff really thinks.Mar 04 20:31
schestowitz· Press& Media: we can assume that the level of coverage is going to be fairly high in the coming weeks until the next AC. let us all hope that the damages for the already hit reputation of the Office is going to be contained...Mar 04 20:31
