schestowitzHello Tim,Apr 02 19:00
schestowitz Apr 02 19:00
schestowitzLooking at https://community.sophos.com/kb/en-us/10469 it seems like there are neat ways to include and exclude parts of the filesystem, which I suppose mostly affects performance (the more to cover, the slower the system). I also suppose that unless it's a penetration testing or honeypot server, you do expect no malicious files to be lodged anywhere, ever. Public-facing parts rather than /bin or /opt would likely have more risk of infection,Apr 02 19:00
schestowitzunless executables too get altered (if the server gets rooted).Apr 02 19:00
-TechBytesBot/#techbytes-community.sophos.com | Sophos Anti-Virus for UNIX/Linux: Exclusion handling - Sophos CommunityApr 02 19:00
schestowitzI suppose that in this particular case (these servers) it boils down to performance tradeoffs. I will ask a colleague who is more familiar with the Shibboleth servers to make suggestions specific to this setup. If Sophos engineers do something sophisticated, I suppose they will look for changed files only (system changes) and scan these files only, based on checksums or system calls (which make file write operations). In which case theApr 02 19:00
schestowitzslowness would take place mostly around setup time (initial scan/s). Bear with us while we ask around.Apr 02 19:00
schestowitzI'm no Sophos expert; for security the best practice is keeping the system patched and up-to-date (not allowing intrusion in the first place), as well as regular backups just in case (external to the main filesystem for isolation).Apr 02 19:00

schestowitzNot sure, but if we teach children to use computers and use open systems they will grow up to see that as normal, so sure they may become farmers but in order to sell produce they will probably have to at least adapt to the modern ways of selling or promoting their goods, even if they are still using traditional farming methods.Apr 06 05:16
schestowitzGiven overheads for water, perhaps a small computer can help manage irrigation systems, or if we go with other more sustainable ways to grow crops using technology, indoors using is it hydro phonics (not sure on spelling sorry). then that is probably going to be computer based,Apr 06 05:16
schestowitzSelling to a world wide customer base is also going to require adoption of modern methods, however if educated on openness, privacy etc, and how there are systems that will work with that model, then they will probably adopt (and even adapt) those systems.Apr 06 05:16

schestowitzwas gonna make a quick reply here… but soon found myself taking it to the blog itself for a full fledged sleepy rant. (pasted below):Apr 06 05:21
schestowitzLong waits for care are endemic to government-run, single-payer systems like the NHS. Yet some U.S. lawmakers want to import that model from across the pond. That would be a massive blunder.Apr 06 05:22
schestowitzYeah, kinda glosses over the fact that when it was properly funded, it was among the best healthcare in the world, and has undergone a couple generations of erosion and underfunding by those profiteers seeking to undermine it to give reason to turn it into a system like in usa. :PApr 06 05:22
schestowitzThe maxim of for-profit “healthcare”:Apr 06 05:22
schestowitz“A patient cured is a customer lost.”Apr 06 05:22
schestowitzYour whole article here cites the problems that are intentionally created to undermine the NHS, pushing it to privatization, as if it were always this impared. This is not inherent to a free-at-point-of-use compassionate system. This is the state the NHS has succumbed to via the attack on it by plutocrats and oligarchs.Apr 06 05:22
schestowitzAlso, seemingly implying there’s no choice in our system is wrong too.Apr 06 05:22
schestowitzAll the failings of the NHS as is, are a result of the plan to turn it into the US system. For profit. At expense of health. It wasn’t always like that. Don’t fall for it.Apr 06 05:22
schestowitzThe situation is more telling once you stop conflating England and Britain as if the same thing. England is just one of the 4 nations that make up the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. And the one with the most corporatist right-wing/authoritarian incumbent political party in charge of their portion of the NHS. Compare the stats to Scotland, and you see since NHS became a devolved matter to hollyrood, out of the hands ofApr 06 05:22
schestowitzwestminster, vast differences, vast improvements, from better funding, by the incumbent and ever so moderate and centrist rational SNP. Thus further highlighting the point I’m making here, that the dogma of “for-profit is inherently better than socialised healthcare” has no legs to stand on. Gotta beware these dogmas and the cherry picked "little bit of information"s that back them up in isolation. Are things perfect in Scotland’s NHS?Apr 06 05:22
schestowitz No. Far from it still. But for all its shortcomings (much of which can still be tracked back to westminster), and all its still suffering betrayal, I’d take it over the nightmare of being hosed for every penny and betrayed for profits as I see over and over in USA’s system, and like I say, it’s head and shoulders above what’s happening in England, without changing the underlying paradigm of free healthcare for all.Apr 06 05:22
schestowitzAnd I wonder, just how many never even make it to the Dr in USA, because they cant afford it (I can only guestimate “a lot”, given how often I hear that sort of thing). Must be nice to not have them gumming up the statistics. :P Not to mention all the other ways the statistics get massaged and fudged… because we wouldn’t want to hurt the bottom line, right? No conflict of interests there eh. lol.Apr 06 05:22

schestowitzThe American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM) moved their publications from Elsevier to Wiley with no positive difference in open access that I can see. The Journal of Applied Medical Physics is still open access for all. Medical Physics, the journal, is still half ass open access. The public is no better served and I’m a little less well served despite paying for a subscription.Apr 06 07:23
schestowitzOne negative change is that the yearly download of Medical Physics went away, except for Android and iOS which might be jailed downloads. I now download each and every article one at at time though Wiley’s awful javascript. Each one is faced with a full page advertisement, booby trapped with a the only working hyper ref in the document. I remove that advert with a script but sometimes find a trailing page advertisement!

schestowitzThis is a huge disappointment for me. Back in 2009, when AAPM started talking about publishing, I recommended they moved to some form of CC that allowed libraries to be the distributors.

If they wanted to keep advertising, I recommended they use a verbatim onlyApr 06 07:23

schestowitzEventually, when people no longer remember going to libraries to research anything, and most people think their private library is difficult to keep, the publishers will end downloads all together.

schestowitz#Geoengineering is a multilevel application. I will try to give you a short and clear explanation.Apr 06 08:25
schestowitzFor details you need to read the articles, with more explanation of its specific aspects, documents, evidence and background knowledge, which you can verify.Apr 06 08:25
schestowitzFirst, chemicals are shot into altitudes between about 20km to 30km to cause reaction with the oxygen molecules. This reduces the formation of O3 (ozone) and thins out the ozone layer.Apr 06 08:25
schestowitzThe famous ozone holes are formed systematically since the 1970s.Apr 06 08:26
schestowitzLess oxygen means less reaction and formation of ozone, less heat and cooling down of the stratosphere by some degrees.Apr 06 08:26
schestowitzAdditional UV can reach the troposphere, blows it up and increases its ability to absorb more humidity.Apr 06 08:26
schestowitzThe very fine ash from the burned ozone layer comes into the tropopause (between 12, to 19km altitude within the Temperate Climate Zone - e.g. Europe and USA) and binds the thin humidity, which pales out the sky.Apr 06 08:26
schestowitzAt the same thime fine dust particles of various material (coal fly ash, sulfur powder from oil processing, aluminium oxide etc.) are blown out in layers beginning at about 5km altitude, going step by step up to about 12km.Apr 06 08:26
schestowitzThe fine dust particles cause a premature phase change of the available humidity, with two different results below and above the cirrus layer, which is at about 6km altitude (in the Temperate Climate Zone).Apr 06 08:26
schestowitzBelow the temperature is still high enough to cause premature condensation to form aerosol clouds of smog droplet.Apr 06 08:26
schestowitzAbove it is cold enough to trigger desublimation, which is direct crystalline freezing on the fine dust particles, resulting in huge ice clouds.Apr 06 08:26
schestowitzAt the beginning of this process the blown out dirt is visible, when you look by zoom cameras but the abrupt reaction of water lets them look like condensation trails.Apr 06 08:26
schestowitzBut both results (aerosolation or ice crystals) are persistent and cannot disappear like clean condensation trails, so they are commonly called chemical trails or chemtrails because of the additional material.Apr 06 08:26
schestowitzThe notion chemtrails comes from the US airforce because this method was first used by the military during WWII to hide ships behind and bombers above technical smog curtains and covers.Apr 06 08:26
schestowitzThese persistent chemical trails are spread and trimmed by high frequent radio waves and hyper sound waves (HAARP and similar systems), so within one or two hours the sky is closed by a white, partly yellowish, dirty grey and in the evening more red cover.Apr 06 08:26
schestowitzAs the fine dust particles collect and bind the humidity in their layer of dissipation, the area below and above is dried out.Apr 06 08:26
schestowitzThis triggers and accelerates the diffusion from the ground and lower troposphere, that nearly no thermal clouds can be formed anymore and if, they disappear after a while.Apr 06 08:26
schestowitzAll humidity goes up to the first aerosol cover and the process is repeated layer by layer up to the upper border of troposphere.Apr 06 08:26
schestowitzTo accelerate and enhance the water absorption more water is lifted into the lower troposphere by formation of artificial waterspouts.Apr 06 08:26
schestowitzThe humidity is kept above and moved by tornadoes and huge storms and carried by upper troposphere winds.Apr 06 08:26
schestowitzThe vehicles used to form these whirls look like very big pentacopter drones, but in the center they have a big turbine engine, very similar to jet engines, but it is installed vertically.Apr 06 08:26
schestowitzBy this engine and the rotors at the sides the vehicles can stay in air and drive into any direction very fast.Apr 06 08:26
schestowitzTherefore people observing them above lakes or sea coast, when they lift water, deem them as “UFOs sucking out water”.Apr 06 08:26
schestowitzThe claim about UFO sights distracts other people from giving attention, as only the word UFO sounds to much science fiction.Apr 06 08:26
schestowitzCalling them weather control vehicles may improve the attention.Apr 06 08:26
schestowitzReaching the target area, artificial precipitation is triggered by other methods of weather management, like the use of silver iodide.Apr 06 08:26
schestowitzThe impact on the ground are flash rain, flash hail, flash floods and very powerful lightnings.Apr 06 08:26
schestowitzThe intended result is water delivery for two huge industries:Apr 06 08:26
schestowitzNuclear fracking of gas and oil in mainly water scarce areas like Arabia, North Africa, New Mexico, Texas, Australia etc.Apr 06 08:26
schestowitzAs enough water becomes available, also large scale desert farming and food industries in the same areas.Apr 06 08:26
schestowitzBoth industries are easily observable by satellite maps.Apr 06 08:26

schestowitzmore and more subscriptions to get all of the content they’re looking for, they’re not only getting frustrated by the growing costs (defeating the whole point of cutting the cord), they’re frustrated by the experience of having to hunt and peck through an endlessly shifting sea of exclusivity arrangements and licensing deals that make it difficult to track where your favorite show or film resides this month.”Apr 07 03:55
schestowitzBeing forced to pay more and more subscriptions also defeats the whole point that streaming would be more convenient than linear TV. I don’t even live in the US but am annoyed whenever a show sounds interesting on paper but is funded by a streaming service. On the other hand I don’t even pirate the show but proceed to boycott the respective streaming service, following the policy “Vote with your wallet.”Apr 07 03:55

schestowitzBut I do see your point, I think kids are under pressure to use social media, the local youth groups use facebook, that almost forces everyone to use facebook to find out what is going on. There is also the FOMO thing, fear of missing out, which people seem to HAVE to know what you’re doing at anyone time. The art of face to face seems to be dying out f we are not careful.Apr 07 04:05
