[08:16] schestowitz-TR2 that's a loaded headline with question mark [08:16] schestowitz-TR2 it's foss did not use that tone [08:16] schestowitz-TR2 this is what happens when they write for outsiders [08:16] schestowitz-TR2 sjvn too [08:16] schestowitz-TR2 I don't have to respect that [08:19] Techrights-sec yes though there is the income problem regardless [08:19] Techrights-sec we should do some final testing of the secondary accounts access today [08:19] Techrights-sec on TM [08:24] Techrights-sec can you add it to /etc/ssh/authorized_keys/arindam in the style of the test keys? [08:24] schestowitz-TR2 yes, I thought about this yesterday [08:24] schestowitz-TR2 for now it's about adding arindam's key [08:25] Techrights-sec still more work is needed, [08:25] Techrights-sec checking ... [08:26] schestowitz-TR2 yesterday one other contrib to TM came to TM's IRC channel [08:26] schestowitz-TR2 there were about a dozen active accounts, but only a few were making important contribs [08:31] Techrights-sec $ ssh -t -i some.key arindam@tm add [08:31] Techrights-sec $ ssh -t -i some.key arindam@tm update [08:31] Techrights-sec Other accounts can be added if needed. [08:33] schestowitz-TR2 we'll need to do better vetting than with tuxmachines-old as a couple of times I gave access/account to people whose sold contribution was uttrly shit [08:33] schestowitz-TR2 webspam-like promotion of some employer [08:33] schestowitz-TR2 *sole [08:33] schestowitz-TR2 then I started asking, what would you use the account for? [08:37] Techrights-sec ok [08:37] Techrights-sec better to focus on quality [08:38] schestowitz-TR2 I justified unpublishing those or relegating (away from front page) by calling them spam [08:38] schestowitz-TR2 esp. if there was no connection to Linux [08:55] Techrights-sec ack [08:55] Techrights-sec There ought to be not just a connection to Linux but some non-spam like [08:55] Techrights-sec characteristics. [08:57] schestowitz-TR2 I've just cleaned gemini and rss stuff [08:57] schestowitz-TR2 some interesting find there [08:57] schestowitz-TR2 "quiet quitting"discussed a lot -- thatr's what I did this year [08:57] schestowitz-TR2 I'm going to add the keys now and send him material to teach him how to test (or post) [08:58] Techrights-sec yes the companies have taken control of the narrative, there is some pushback [08:58] Techrights-sec though, about asserting rights. [08:58] schestowitz-TR2 like "great resignation" -- the media likes to lie [08:58] schestowitz-TR2 btw, in epo they still do industrial action [08:58] schestowitz-TR2 work stoppage/slowdown [08:58] schestowitz-TR2 empoyers try to shame people who don't pick calls or read email outside work [08:58] schestowitz-TR2 japan had to pass LAWS about that [08:59] Techrights-sec Thanks. If he spots any bugs or has any ideas to simplify the workflowk [08:59] Techrights-sec please let me know. ● Sep 01 [09:13] Techrights-sec they are stealing time and being blatant about it, on top of that [09:13] Techrights-sec employees lose at least 2 hours per day in the commute [09:13] Techrights-sec many are in denial about that time and dont count much of the commute, such [09:13] Techrights-sec as getting from parking to work or getting from home to the highway [09:14] schestowitz-TR2 yup [09:14] schestowitz-TR2 btw, rianne got TENTATIVE "pass" result (it's either pass or no pass) [09:14] schestowitz-TR2 I am checking mail atm, which I hate doing [09:14] schestowitz-TR2 postal service on strike atm, so formal printer results maybe 8 days from now, not 4-5, they said to her [09:15] Techrights-sec tentative congratulations, when will the final result for that be?
