| Techrights-sec | apparenty it is very hard to buy many kinds of hardware these days, | Nov 01 11:42 |
|---|---|---|
| Techrights-sec | Raspberry Pis for exanple are out of stock most places. | Nov 01 11:42 |
| Techrights-sec | And limited quantities anywhere else. | Nov 01 11:42 |
| schestowitz-TR | media mentioning it may have already created or spurred a "run" on the shops | Nov 01 11:42 |
| schestowitz-TR | but my theory is, this is | Nov 01 11:42 |
| schestowitz-TR | 1) good for the env | Nov 01 11:42 |
| schestowitz-TR | 2) well overdue | Nov 01 11:42 |
| schestowitz-TR | 3) encourages reuse already | Nov 01 11:42 |
| schestowitz-TR | rianne and I have enough spare parts of things here | Nov 01 11:43 |
| schestowitz-TR | routers, laptops, screens | Nov 01 11:43 |
| Techrights-sec | No run. It's partially a chip shortage affecting production but also | Nov 01 11:45 |
| Techrights-sec | partially (maybe mostly) all the empty shipping containers piling up | Nov 01 11:45 |
| Techrights-sec | in US harbors. | Nov 01 11:45 |
| Techrights-sec | The US has nothing to export and they won't send back the empties... | Nov 01 11:45 |
| Techrights-sec | So the prices have gone up by an order of magnitude for the containers... | Nov 01 11:45 |
| Techrights-sec | https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-58479148 | Nov 01 11:45 |
| -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-www.bbc.co.uk | Why even giant ships can't solve the shipping crisis - BBC News | Nov 01 11:45 | |
| Techrights-sec | The re-use will become a necessity and Canonical and other projects should | Nov 01 11:47 |
| Techrights-sec | be ramping up the marketing but for the infiltration of microsofters into | Nov 01 11:47 |
| Techrights-sec | their organization. The desktop is where people could currently benefit most | Nov 01 11:47 |
| Techrights-sec | from ditching Vista. | Nov 01 11:47 |
| schestowitz-TR | we have several crises, predating this one | Nov 01 11:48 |
| Techrights-sec | Yes, they are piling up and making the pre-existing crises worse. | Nov 01 11:48 |
| schestowitz-TR | choosing NOT to have kids has turned out to be one of the most important decisions; for instance, the self-isolatioin tactics would not be possiblke with school goers | Nov 01 11:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | I do NOT want to have 'downtime' for 2 days 2 times a year just for some lousy thing that for my age group likely prevents no fatal risk and does not reduce infectiousness anyway | Nov 01 11:50 |
| Techrights-sec | Nope and many illnesses in the world are kept in circulation due to | Nov 01 11:55 |
| Techrights-sec | modern day methods of schooling and such. | Nov 01 11:55 |
| Techrights-sec | The current vaccines against SARS-CoV-2 only reduce the probability of an | Nov 01 11:55 |
| Techrights-sec | individual going to the hospital, no more no less. That's nowhere near enough | Nov 01 11:55 |
| Techrights-sec | to inhibit an epidemic, let alone a pandemic. :( | Nov 01 11:55 |
| Techrights-sec | However, due (IMHO) to the heavy patents encumbering the vaccines, there | Nov 01 11:55 |
| Techrights-sec | is so much money involved that there is little to no incentive to produce | Nov 01 11:55 |
| Techrights-sec | a proper vaccine. | Nov 01 11:55 |
| schestowitz-TR | Like Goldman Sachs famously said, where's the business value in solving health issues? | Nov 01 11:55 |
| schestowitz-TR | did I break the gemini cron job? last update yesterdat. | Nov 01 11:55 |
| Techrights-sec | That's also (IMHO) why no articles mention the patent encumberance. | Nov 01 11:55 |
| Techrights-sec | yes | Nov 01 11:56 |
| Techrights-sec | I'll check but it often does not run to completion due to HTTP errors | Nov 01 12:12 |
| Techrights-sec | it needs to be made more robust | Nov 01 12:12 |
| Techrights-sec | ... failed: 1024 | Nov 01 12:12 |
| Techrights-sec | from wget | Nov 01 12:12 |
| Techrights-sec | last time, happens with different URLs due to unavailability of the server | Nov 01 12:12 |
| schestowitz-TR | I found a little bug, which I fixed, while adding a bulletin line for 13 months ago | Nov 01 12:13 |
| schestowitz-TR | I will push the changes to git now to prevent possible overwrite of conflicting versions | Nov 01 12:13 |
| Techrights-sec | ack | Nov 01 12:18 |
| schestowitz-TR | Thanks for tidying up the script, I may continue to improve them over time, I already can do a lot of IRC over CLI, but need to think of further clarity (GUI is only for "input") | Nov 01 12:25 |
| Techrights-sec | gemini-cron-updater.sh can take anywhere from 10 to 15+ minutes to complete | Nov 01 12:32 |
| Techrights-sec | sometimes the HTTP server or the network outbound from the RPi are unavailable | Nov 01 12:32 |
| Techrights-sec | long enough to cause some problem with the script. | Nov 01 12:32 |
| Techrights-sec | One option would be to increase the frequency with which it runs | Nov 01 12:32 |
| Techrights-sec | However that puts more wear on the microSD card. | Nov 01 12:32 |
| schestowitz-TR | at the moment I use "v2" of the tc script, which I think is in git | Nov 01 12:33 |
| Techrights-sec | There is only one version of gemini-cron-updater.sh in Git | Nov 01 12:48 |
| Techrights-sec | It does call some other scripts. | Nov 01 12:48 |
| Techrights-sec | Probably gemini-fetch-urls-from-rss.pl could be improved by using wget instead | Nov 01 12:48 |
| Techrights-sec | As it stands, if it fails then the script has to stop. | Nov 01 12:48 |
| Techrights-sec | Last I checked it does not handle the common temporary errors well. | Nov 01 12:48 |
| Techrights-sec | IPFS/tc-shaper-v2.sh | Nov 01 12:48 |
| Techrights-sec | That script should have tc assigning outgoing HTTP requests a higher priority | Nov 01 12:48 |
| Techrights-sec | than the IPFS traffic. | Nov 01 12:48 |
| Techrights-sec | ack | Nov 01 12:48 |

| schestowitz-TR | as it stands, most of the time IPFS objects cannot be retrieved anymore, not sure if due to timeouts or b/w limits | Nov 01 13:48 |
| Techrights-sec | How large are the objects? | Nov 01 13:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | anywhere between 10k to 700k usually, the latter being techrights channel as html and the bulletins | Nov 01 13:51 |
| Techrights-sec | back | Nov 01 13:51 |
| Techrights-sec | I would not know | Nov 01 13:51 |
| Techrights-sec | rate 250kbit is what's used, so there might not be time to keep up with things | Nov 01 13:59 |
| Techrights-sec | can IPFS itself be made more efficient or the objects smaller? | Nov 01 13:59 |
| schestowitz-TR | I am starting to wonder if compression is used by default, as these objects should be easily compressible (mostly text) | Nov 01 14:00 |
| Techrights-sec | I would hope so but I still know nothing about IPFS or its files. | Nov 01 14:01 |
| Techrights-sec | From what I gather it is very high bandwidth and slow. | Nov 01 14:27 |
| schestowitz-TR | like bitcoin, tons of waste for little practical gain | Nov 01 14:28 |
| Techrights-sec | What are the alternatives? If there is anything better and still distributed | Nov 01 14:30 |
| Techrights-sec | then maybe it is time to consider switching. | Nov 01 14:30 |
| schestowitz-TR | dht is decentralised, unlike p2p, so it's more robust to censorship, just scales poorly | Nov 01 14:30 |
| *u-amarsh04 has quit (Quit: Konversation terminated!) | Nov 01 14:34 | |
| Techrights-sec | Torrent might be an option? | Nov 01 14:36 |
| schestowitz-TR | maybe unsuitable for many small files | Nov 01 14:37 |
| Techrights-sec | Probably. However, they can be tar'ed and distributed that way or else as | Nov 01 14:38 |
| Techrights-sec | directories of files. Some of the conferences distribute files that way. | Nov 01 14:38 |
| Techrights-sec | Though they are larger files. | Nov 01 14:38 |
| schestowitz-TR | they do that for bandwidth reasons, not robustness | Nov 01 14:38 |
| *u-amarsh04 (~amarsh04@eganakf2bu9k2.irc) has joined #boycottnovell | Nov 01 14:40 | |
| Techrights-sec | From 2006 through 2021, there are 39322 files with an average text-only | Nov 01 15:21 |
| Techrights-sec | size of 123886 bytes. Pictures and videos will be much larger of course. | Nov 01 15:21 |
| Techrights-sec | in other words approx 120k each of text | Nov 01 15:21 |
| Techrights-sec | Maybe tar the previoous day's posts, page prerequisites and all, and | Nov 01 15:21 |
| Techrights-sec | use bittorrent without a central server? | Nov 01 15:21 |
| schestowitz-TR | I will need to think about it some time. Finalising some big post about github atm... | Nov 01 15:21 |
| schestowitz | [22:22] <Source> I'll have to look into that. I'm unaware | Nov 01 15:52 |
| schestowitz | [22:22] <schestowitz> I will do an intro | Nov 01 15:52 |
| schestowitz | [22:23] <Source> I mentioned in the email about Alex's run in with the Monero community | Nov 01 15:52 |
| schestowitz | [22:23] <schestowitz> maybe this weekend, I've fallen behind publication schedules already | Nov 01 15:52 |
| schestowitz | [22:23] <Source> So Alex also worked on MobileCoin | Nov 01 15:52 |

| schestowitz | [22:23] <Source> The token attached to Signal in a way that seems unclear even to people that work at Signal | Nov 01 15:52 |

| schestowitz | [22:24] <schestowitz> Signal is not trustworthy | Nov 01 15:52 |

| schestowitz | [22:24] <schestowitz> e.g. in Bolivia, to steal natural resources for his company | Nov 01 15:52 |
| schestowitz | [22:24] <schestowitz> yes, copilot is against enforcement of software licences | Nov 01 15:52 |
| schestowitz | [22:25] <Source> which seems to be a theme for Alex | Nov 01 15:52 |
| schestowitz | [22:25] <schestowitz> so people can make proprietary software | Nov 01 15:52 |
| schestowitz | [22:25] <schestowitz> and extinguish Free/libre software | Nov 01 15:52 |

| schestowitz | [22:25] <schestowitz> it's a legal hack | Nov 01 15:52 |

| schestowitz | [22:27] <Source> well, this is your guy and he's a sex predator | Nov 01 15:53 |
| schestowitz | [22:28] <schestowitz> we can leave that until later in the series | Nov 01 15:53 |

| schestowitz | [23:45] <schestowitz> sounds like it | Nov 01 16:01 |
| schestowitz | [23:49] <Source> but yeah, Chris said he hadn't seen Alex at Nat's parties at his house in a few years | Nov 01 16:01 |
| schestowitz | [23:49] <Source> and it was probably because Alex is crazy | Nov 01 16:01 |
| schestowitz | [23:49] <Source> which I doubt, because Nat and Alex talked on the phone when we were together a | Nov 01 16:01 |

| schestowitz | Dear friends and colleagues, | Nov 01 21:55 |
| schestowitz | You’ll no doubt be aware that the prosecution of Julian Assange continued on last week as the US government sought to challenge a decision not to extradite at the British High Court. Julian could be seen on a number of occasions from the videolink at HMP Belmarsh—at times he coughed and winced in pain, at others he struggled to keep concentration and appeared much thinner. | Nov 01 21:55 |
| schestowitz | There are also reports from Stella Moris, Assange’s fiancée, that it was not because he elected not to come to the court that he was not physically present—she alleged that Assange asked to appear in person but that “the request was rejected.” (We have not independently verified this, but will attempt to do so if possible.) | Nov 01 21:55 |
| schestowitz | Although a ruling from the hearing is to be delivered shortly (exact timing unclear), Assange’s condition reminds us of the urgent need that political and media scrutiny is required of this case and immediately—but especially so if the High Court does not decide to throw the US appeal out. | Nov 01 21:55 |
| schestowitz | During the two-day hearings, the US raised a number of points including a February 8 US diplomatic note sent to the UK assuring that Assange would not be held in restrictive Special Administrative Measures (SAMs) or be detained at the maximum-security ADX Florence in Colorado. The US also raised the issue of professor Michael Kopelman’s expert medical evidence where a primary report included misleading statements with respect to the nature of | Nov 01 21:55 |
| schestowitz | Stella Moris’s relationship to Assange. | Nov 01 21:55 |
| schestowitz | In response, the defence explained the context in which the misleading statements arose—linking to the recent Yahoo! News revelations regarding CIA plots to kidnap or assassinate the WikiLeaks publisher that were brought before the court. The Spanish court proceedings against UC Global founder David Morales Guillén and his connections to the CIA were also raised. | Nov 01 21:55 |
