schestowitzHi there, how can I help?Oct 15 02:54
schestowitzHi, I am a client since 2004, I have about a dozen domains with youOct 15 02:54
schestowitzI might soon want to transfer two of my biggest domains to youOct 15 02:54
schestowitzas I have issues with my existing host for theseOct 15 02:54
schestowitzRight, we should be able to help with that. Do you know which packages you would need for those?Oct 15 02:54
schestowitzPaulxxxx knows me, Dr. Roy Schestowitz with schestowitz.com on your systems since 2004Oct 15 02:54
schestowitzSchestowitz.com Software SolutionsOct 15 02:54
schestowitzI need a good offer for high-capacity sitesOct 15 02:54
schestowitzprobably dedicated neededOct 15 02:54
schestowitzthey do about 1-2 GB of traffic per hourOct 15 02:54
schestowitzRight, that would definitely need something more than a normal hosting package, yes. Would you mind me forwarding your details to people who would be able to discuss this with you?Oct 15 02:54
schestowitzyes, pleaseOct 15 02:54
schestowitzIs roy@schestowitz.com okay?Oct 15 02:54
schestowitzHi RoyOct 15 02:54
schestowitzCan you give a few more specifics about the sites please?Oct 15 02:54
schestowitzyes, that email address would workOct 15 02:54
schestowitzsure, domains are tuxmachines.org and techrights.org (down at the moment, seems like the router is fried)Oct 15 02:54
schestowitzOkOct 15 02:54
schestowitzWhat are they built in?Oct 15 02:54
schestowitzHow much diskspace do they require?Oct 15 02:54
schestowitzone is pure drupal 6 fully patched (LTS)Oct 15 02:54
schestowitzthe other is wordpress, drupal, mediawikiOct 15 02:54
schestowitzOkOct 15 02:54
schestowitzall in all they can do with about 50gb of disk space maybe, possibly moreOct 15 02:54
schestowitzOkOct 15 02:54
schestowitzWhat is your budget for hosting these?Oct 15 02:54
schestowitznever had security incidents in them, the older is 15, the younger 12 next monthOct 15 02:54
schestowitzcurrently we pay $1000 a year for both sitesOct 15 02:54
schestowitzOkOct 15 02:54
schestowitzWhat sort of visitor numbers per day do they get?Oct 15 02:54
schestowitzthey ran as Xen VMs, so a VM migration would be ideal, they're CentOSOct 15 02:54
schestowitznot sure number of visitors as varnish serves everything where possibleOct 15 02:54
schestowitzOKOct 15 02:54
schestowitzSo it sounds like you do ideally need a dedicated server from usOct 15 02:54
schestowitzI can do both domains on same server, right? They don't use conflicting package versions afaikOct 15 02:54
schestowitzThese start at £199 per month with £199 setup fee. However as an existing customer, I can waive the setup fee. They can both on the same server. If you pay annually we can also offer a discountOct 15 02:55
schestowitz*both go on the same serverOct 15 02:55
schestowitzWould that be of interest?Oct 15 02:55
schestowitzI need to check, the sites are also offline at the moment, so need to find out about migration etc. Can you pick a Xen VM or two and put them on the server? That would simplify setup, I thinkOct 15 02:55
schestowitzWe would so the migration as long as we can have access to the existing VMOct 15 02:55
schestowitzSo don't worry about thatOct 15 02:55
schestowitz*sort the migrationOct 15 02:55
schestowitzDo you have a backup of the sites?Oct 15 02:55
schestowitzat the moment those domain are on your system, 4 domains in total for these two sitsOct 15 02:55
schestowitzyes, the sites are there, but disconnected to the outside at the momentOct 15 02:55
schestowitzOKOct 15 02:55
schestowitzSo we could do this tomorrow for you if that was of interest?Oct 15 02:55
schestowitzhow would you pick VM snapshots if we went ahead?Oct 15 02:55
schestowitzthe host I have at the moment is a friend and would happily collaborate on handoverOct 15 02:55
schestowitzWe would likely rebuild, so as long as you can get us a backup of the files / database, we would do the rest.Oct 15 02:55
schestowitzare we looking at about 2000 pounds a year after discount?Oct 15 02:55
schestowitzYes, we woudlOct 15 02:55
schestowitzIf you can get us a copy of the VM then we can do the rest from thereOct 15 02:55
schestowitzWould you like me to give you a quick ring about this?Oct 15 02:55
schestowitzAre you still there?Oct 15 02:55
schestowitzI have dropped you an email, let me know when suits to continue this chat.Oct 15 02:55
schestowitzsorry, got back from the looOct 15 02:55
schestowitzNo worriesOct 15 02:55
schestowitzhow many CPU cores?Oct 15 02:55
schestowitzThat would come with 2 vCPU and 4GB RAMOct 15 02:55
schestowitzcurrently we use more than 3, RAM alsoOct 15 02:55
schestowitz(I think that depends also on caching anyway)Oct 15 02:55
schestowitzYes, it does depend on your budget, the other option is:xxxxxxxxOct 15 02:55
schestowitzManaged VPS in the UK from £49 per monthOct 15 02:55
schestowitzthe one with virtual cpu, is that a shared big iron?Oct 15 02:55
schestowitzOn VPS yes, on dedicated noOct 15 02:55
schestowitzthe 2000 a year one is VPS, right?Oct 15 02:55
schestowitzNope, it is for dedicated.Oct 15 02:55
schestowitzIt would be £2189 + VAT for 1 year.Oct 15 02:55
schestowitz2 vCPU and 4GB RAM on a dedicated VMOct 15 02:55
schestowitzso dedicated not as in dedicated box with - say - 8 cpu cores?Oct 15 02:55
schestowitzThat is an option as well :Oct 15 02:55
schestowitzReally comes down to what you wantOct 15 02:55
schestowitzWe offer, dedicated physical serversOct 15 02:55
schestowitzDedicated virtual serversOct 15 02:55
schestowitzand VPSsOct 15 02:56
schestowitzat the moment there are 4 vCPU for tuxmachinesOct 15 02:56
schestowitz6 I think for techrightsOct 15 02:56
schestowitznot sure what specs per cpu (speed)Oct 15 02:56
schestowitzSo it is possible dedicated physical server would be better for youOct 15 02:56
schestowitzas it is a more cost effective way to get the resources you needOct 15 02:56
schestowitzmemory at around 16gb for techrights and maybe 8 for tuxmachines (offline, so I go by memory)Oct 15 02:56
schestowitzdedicated physical server would cost how much per year?Oct 15 02:56
schestowitz(and how much ram/cpu in it)?Oct 15 02:56
schestowitzIf you wanted 24GB RAM, 8 Core CPU, 100GB SSD diskspace it would be £239 + VAT per monthOct 15 02:56

schestowitzAs I read it, what Microsoft is saying is that it will not sue users who BUY commercial Linux from OIN member companies. Oct 17 16:11
schestowitzWhat Microsoft is not claiming is that it will refrain from sueing users of Linux in general.Oct 17 16:11
schestowitzLet's take an example: You start a small business and you run it on your favorite Linux distribution, like Debian or CentOS for example. Are you protected against a major lawsuit from Microsoft? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think you are just as vulnerable to Microsoft today as you were last week.Oct 17 16:11
schestowitzThis is not the software freedom (FOSS) that the open source movement strives to reach.Oct 17 16:11
schestowitz'Oct 17 16:11
schestowitz"Oct 17 16:11
schestowitz>Like other OIN members, Microsoft does not give up its right to enforce its patents against companies that develop, sell, or use open source solutions designed to run on top of the Linux system.Oct 17 16:11
schestowitzIn this case, OIN should not be presented as a Linux protecting entity.Oct 17 16:11
schestowitzAnd please, let no one ever speak about trusting microsoft.evil.com.Oct 17 16:11

schestowitz> And please, let no one ever speak about trusting microsoft.evil.com.Oct 17 16:11
schestowitzI agree. We see this over and over and over and over, and the sheep are quick to say "oh look, Microsoft has changed".Oct 17 16:11
schestowitzMicrosoft says hey look at how good and trustworthy we are now, and then the other shoe drops and we see how devious and evil they really are. Oct 17 16:11
schestowitzWhat we have here in my opinion is Microsoft's attempt to Commercialize Linux.Oct 17 16:11

schestowitz> As I read it, what Microsoft is saying is that it will not sue users who BUY commercial Linux from OIN member companies. Oct 17 16:11
schestowitzThat could be an accurate assessment, yes. So how exactly do CentOS and OpenSuSE fit into the picture? They're both fully sanctioned by the respective commercial vendors.Oct 17 16:11
schestowitz"Oct 17 16:12
schestowitz"Oct 17 16:12
schestowitzIf you didn't buy your Linux from an OIN member then you are not protected from Microsoft and their army of patent trolls.Oct 17 16:12
schestowitz<sarcasm> Tell me again that Microsoft loves Linux. </sarcasm>Oct 17 16:12

schestowitzBitcoin has a degree of ‘FIAT’ running through its veins (so to speak) but far less than that underpinning the world’s (current) de facto global reserve currency … the USD. The key difference, and magic of Bitcoin, is that it is fully distributed and fully democratic.Oct 17 18:28
schestowitzBy “democratic” I mean its instantaneous value is being determined by market participants from every Continent on a 24x7 basis. In stark contrast to the USD, and other centralized Fiat Currencies, whose value is being artificially manipulated by trading desks controlled by the Federal Reserve and US Treasury (refer here to something called the … Exchange Stabilization Fund).Oct 17 18:28
schestowitzAnd also by the constant manipulation of the spot price of Gold via the Comex (Paper Contracts, not real Gold Bullion). If the fundamentals were at play – as in a “Free Market” – then Gold would now be valued above $3,000 per ounce. Perhaps much higher.Oct 17 18:28
schestowitzBitcoin has been relatively stable for the past 4 to 5 months. Arguably more so than the unstable price of Gold. Bitcoin can be delivered (almost) instantaneously. Whereas gold is rarely delivered. You either purchase a substitute for gold, or you own a certificate of ownership with your gold being stored by a “trusted” 3rd Party. And then you end up paying a storage fee. But you never (or rarely) know, for sure, that your gold Oct 17 18:28
schestowitzactually exists in three dimensions.Oct 17 18:28

schestowitz“the flatpak bug was a privileged helper program.”Oct 17 18:59

schestowitzSorry, typo there: “flatpak bug was in a privileged helper program”Oct 17 18:59
schestowitzFrom what I understand (based on reading, rather than first-hand experience with flatpak), the place where the user had to provide explicit root authorization was in adding a flatpak provider to a system-wide list. That would be analogous to adding a new repo in sources.list. After that point, a normal user can install any flatpak from a trusted provider, as if a normal user were allowed to install a .deb from any listed apt repo. There Oct 17 18:59
schestowitzis some helper program involved in allowing unprivileged users to do this install, and that helper program was mistakenly installing root setuid files if a flatpak asked for them. Using root setuid programs is a classic way to break out of a simple chroot or sandbox, and the flatpak sandbox is apparently not very sophisticatedOct 17 18:59
schestowitzIf you are running apps from a third party already, then there is already a trust relationship (the app is sandboxed, but the sandbox is not very strict in practice, and the third-party vendor chooses what permissions the app will have)Oct 17 18:59
schestowitzhttps://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=865413Oct 17 18:59
schestowitzSounds like flatpak is a convenient method to run third-party apps, but it is not optimized for security – not the sort of sandbox specifically designed to run untrusted code.Oct 17 18:59

schestowitzNothing in this world is perfectly safe of course, but I think that sandboxing mechanisms designed and maintained by security-focused teams are a better option for running untrusted packages. The complementary way to lower risk is by trying to run software that is more worthy of “trust”, i.e. using a distro with a good security record and staying away from third-party software as much as practical.Oct 17 19:01

schestowitzNo other reason but dependence on a lot of leftover perl libraries from gnome 2 world that Debian/Canonical find troublesome to carry, are unmaintained, and all of them have been ported to gtk3.Oct 17 19:16

schestowitzIf you want to maintain GTK2, go ahead. You have a lot of work to do. So far (in the recent five years or so) no one bothered.Oct 17 19:16

schestowitz"Oct 17 19:17
schestowitzThere is a lot of software that uses gtk2 and related libraries. Shutter is only one of them. Projects without a corporate umbrella have a little problem porting to gtk3, since it is excruciatingly unstable, and it has to be fixed every time new gtk version is out. Even large and wealthier projects, like LibreOffice or Firefox, are not done porting to Gtk3 due to unstable API, and some are waiting for Gtk4 as not to misuse time and Oct 17 19:17

schestowitzGtk2 and Gtk+ are still supported and receive security patches, and related libraries are not unsecure. I don’t know how you deducted that mature code is less secure than new, constantly in development code.Oct 17 19:17
schestowitzGtk3 projects churned out by Red Hat and their little projects (like Gnome) tend to have enough ReHatisms that it is unlikely that they will be properly ported to platforms that don’t use than (OS without pulseaudio, systemd, BSD’s). By joining Gtk3 ecosystem it will be more difficult for these projects to port to other systems.Oct 17 19:17
schestowitz"Oct 17 19:17
schestowitz"Oct 17 19:17
schestowitzSoftware that uses gtk2: Maybe you confuse glib2 for gtk2? glib2 is still also a part of gtk3. I just checked libreoffice. Looking at the dependencies of libreoffice-core, they don’t use much of GTK there: glib, dconf (and not gconf), but that’s it. Libreoffice has two different plugins to support either GTK2 or GTK3. Those are relatively cheap to maintain.Oct 17 19:17
schestowitzFirefox has been shifting from GTK2 to GTK3. It’s now at the point of dropping GTK2.Oct 17 19:17
schestowitzUpstream development: See Debian package tracker. There is some minimal maintenance. The package from oldstable (from 2015) had a single security fix and a single backported bug fix. That’s deep maintenance mode. GTK 2.24 was released at 2011 or so. Ever since then there were only minor bugfix releases.Oct 17 19:17
schestowitzOther systems: GTK3 works just fine on other systems. As an example to that, let’s look at the Mate desktop environment (clearly uses GTK3 with FreeBSD). So how do you install it under FreeBSD? Simple.Oct 17 19:17
schestowitzThe main problem for Shutter is that the perl binings are abandoned and nobody bothered porting them to gtk3.Oct 17 19:18

schestowitz Thank you, Eleonora, for describing this case and your analysis of it.Oct 19 05:33
schestowitzHowever I would take issue with your obiter dictum concerning the UK Supreme Court’s judgment in Luscasfilm. You say “… the Supreme Court rather oddly also required an artistic intention on the side of the author for a work to be considered artistic”. In my view this mischaracterises the judgment. The copyright issue (as opposed to the justicability issue) was not concerned with whether the stormtrooper helmet was a work of Oct 19 05:33
schestowitzartistic craftsmanship, where arguably the intention of the artist might play a part. That aspect was not appealed. Lucasfilm’s case was that the helmet was a sculpture.Oct 19 05:33
schestowitzAlthough they covered the historical development of the distinction in English law between artistic works and designs, and the place of sculptures on the boundary between the two, in truth the UKSC effectively approved the trial judge’s and Court of Appeal’s findings that the helmet was not a sculpture by virtue of it being a functional item, similar to a real helmet. Lucasfilm had tried to argue that since the stormtrooper helmets Oct 19 05:33
schestowitzwere intended to convey a message about the characters who wore them, their purpose was symbolic and therefore not functional. In rejecting this argument the UKSC most certainly did not do so, either wholly or in part, on the grounds that the reason for creating helmets lacked artistic intention. Rather they took the view that stretching the ordinary meaning of sculpture to include otherwise utilitarian objects was a step to be avoided on Oct 19 05:33

schestowitz Being a patent attorney as well as a hobby chef, I did a few years ago some research about patentability of recipes to write a paper and did not only find the story about Adenauer but also a decision of the German Federal Court of Justice (highest court in these matters in Germany) entitled "soup recipe" from 1965 (Ia ZB 210/63). Applicant tried to patent a soup recipe, prior art as amongst others a famous German standard cook book. Oct 19 18:01
schestowitzHilarious! While the FCJ found that there was no inventive step, the decision has an official head-note that is quite promising and, as far as I know, the most recent case law in the matter:Oct 19 18:01
schestowitzProgress and inventiveness of a new technical process can also be based on the fact that the process product causes a special aesthetic effect.Oct 19 18:01
schestowitzIf a cooking recipe contains only information on the starting materials and their treatment, then it is sufficiently determined as a (food) technical manufacturing process, even if special flavor properties are claimed to justify progress and inventiveness.Oct 19 18:01
schestowitzSlight deviations in flavor are usually not patentable progress.Oct 19 18:01

acer-box__ That's a Youtube policy problem. One of the requirements for safe harbor provisions is that you take steps to remove infringing material after you find out about it. Youtube implements it in the most ass way possible because they have deals with record labels, etc.Oct 20 01:14
acer-box__Here's a fun bit: you also lose the safe harbor provisions if you exercise editorial control over the content. So a newspaper is liable for what they publish, because the company that publishes it decides what goes in it, but a neutral platform where anyone can post is not liable.
