|---|---|---|
| schestowitz-TR | doing a few more backups | Jan 02 04:11 |
| schestowitz-TR | a month from now we should have faster connection at home | Jan 02 04:11 |
| schestowitz-TR | that wouldhelp with offsite backups | Jan 02 04:11 |
| schestowitz-TR | oh, I see this backup now includes your static gallery mirror | Jan 02 04:12 |
| techrightssec2 | the gallery mirror should not be backed up yet, so that is an oversight | Jan 02 04:28 |
| techrightssec2 | the methods for converting the gallery to a static site are still being hammered | Jan 02 04:28 |
| techrightssec2 | out and will need more time. perhaps the simplest way is to delete that directory hierarchy for now? | Jan 02 04:28 |
| schestowitz-TR | no need, it's OK | Jan 02 04:30 |
| schestowitz-TR | the gz file for the htdoc is about 1.7gb | Jan 02 04:30 |
| schestowitz-TR | instead of about 700mb | Jan 02 04:30 |
| schestowitz-TR | not a huge deal | Jan 02 04:30 |
| schestowitz-TR | I like to keep such dumps in case the db breaks itself or something | Jan 02 04:30 |
| schestowitz-TR | lots of work going into that site | Jan 02 04:30 |
| schestowitz-TR | i try to think ahead pessimistically for D-R purposes | Jan 02 04:30 |
| schestowitz-TR | in fact, I need to back up my laptops again today, before news "picks up" | Jan 02 04:30 |
| techrightssec2 | but the gallery is only partially there in that directory. | Jan 02 04:31 |
| schestowitz-TR | the "master copy" is in old, or rather, in the db container (mariadb) | Jan 02 04:31 |
| techrightssec2 | ack | Jan 02 04:33 |
| techrightssec2 | \ | Jan 02 04:33 |
| schestowitz-TR | am downloading full file system backup of my personal site atm | Jan 02 04:35 |
| schestowitz-TR | over 20 years of stuff | Jan 02 04:35 |
| schestowitz-TR | I've just done a second pass through gemini due to new year's tasks | Jan 02 04:35 |
| schestowitz-TR | and did in fact find an oversight | Jan 02 04:35 |
| schestowitz-TR | there was a bulletin index page missing the link to the new year | Jan 02 04:35 |
| schestowitz-TR | so I'm not satisfied all is covered | Jan 02 04:35 |
| schestowitz-TR | and added that to my node for next year (jan 2024) | Jan 02 04:35 |
| schestowitz-TR | i can finally say I caught up with ress feeds (jan 2nd) | Jan 02 04:35 |
| schestowitz-TR | i paced it that way | Jan 02 04:35 |
| techrightssec2 | ack | Jan 02 04:37 |
| schestowitz-TR | due to economic woes LOTS of sites shut down, quietly | Jan 02 04:38 |
| schestowitz-TR | this means lots of history is lost | Jan 02 04:38 |
| schestowitz-TR | if you endure this, you might be the last one to cover topics x y and z | Jan 02 04:38 |
| schestowitz-TR | that in itself has importanace | Jan 02 04:38 |
| techrightssec2 | strangely short clips: >http://techrights.org/2023/01/01/richard-stallman-nit-calicut/ | Jan 02 04:38 |

| schestowitz-TR | and only today | Jan 02 04:43 |
| schestowitz-TR | at least evidence he was hopping between unis there | Jan 02 04:43 |
| schestowitz-TR | fsf did not even mention that | Jan 02 04:43 |
| techrightssec2 | ok\ | Jan 02 04:43 |
| schestowitz-TR | as if they fear people who contact deans | Jan 02 04:43 |
| schestowitz-TR | an org that hides its own father, news at 11 | Jan 02 04:43 |
| schestowitz-TR | fsf used to announce almost all his talks in advance | Jan 02 04:43 |
| schestowitz-TR | using site calendars and rss | Jan 02 04:43 |
| schestowitz-TR | the other people who arrange talks in this way (punblic speaking) are neonazis | Jan 02 04:43 |
| schestowitz-TR | not just to avoid cancelation but also deportation | Jan 02 04:43 |
| schestowitz-TR | maybe rms can be the new paul robeson | Jan 02 04:43 |
| schestowitz-TR | the register trolled FS yesterday | Jan 02 04:43 |
| schestowitz-TR | simon sharwood, mentioned in irc several times | Jan 02 04:43 |
| schestowitz-TR | like FS is a weapon for "china" and "Russia" | Jan 02 04:43 |
| techrightssec2 | The FSF doesn't even announce his talks after the fact nor do they provide | Jan 02 04:47 |
| techrightssec2 | videos any more. Something has gone south at FSF, especially in light of | Jan 02 04:47 |
| techrightssec2 | other recent announcements. Too bad.\ | Jan 02 04:47 |
| schestowitz-TR | there are new, creative tactitics against | Jan 02 04:48 |
| schestowitz-TR | fsf and gnu | Jan 02 04:48 |
| schestowitz-TR | plagiarism as a service (copilot) | Jan 02 04:48 |
| schestowitz-TR | canceling | Jan 02 04:48 |
| schestowitz-TR | all this "ethical" BS | Jan 02 04:48 |
| schestowitz-TR | where they say, block china or else! | Jan 02 04:48 |
| schestowitz-TR | we'll see more of that | Jan 02 04:48 |
| schestowitz-TR | the only way for "Linux" to be accepted into the mainstream if for LF (i.e. pantagon) to control | Jan 02 04:48 |
| schestowitz-TR | it first, with drm and valve and... | Jan 02 04:48 |
| schestowitz-TR | and we need to reject that | Jan 02 04:48 |
| techrightssec2 | Apropos China, the whine in congress against ByteDance has been about | Jan 02 04:49 |
| techrightssec2 | surveillance only not manipulation or, worse, health damage. | Jan 02 04:49 |
| techrightssec2 | s/health/physical and mental health/ | Jan 02 04:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | the media did fill the gap a bit | Jan 02 04:51 |
| schestowitz-TR | by covering all aspects | Jan 02 04:51 |
| schestowitz-TR | (what's left of the media... not much) | Jan 02 04:51 |
| schestowitz-TR | I've spoken about some of these issues for more than 5 years | Jan 02 04:51 |
| schestowitz-TR | esp. what a storm that causes in the brain | Jan 02 04:51 |
| schestowitz-TR | cannot concentrate | Jan 02 04:51 |
| schestowitz-TR | I was using twitter a lot in the golden days of wikileaks | Jan 02 04:51 |
| techrightssec2 | Some of the politicians seem to be somewhat open about the desire to enable | Jan 02 04:53 |
| techrightssec2 | surveillance for their interests while blocking surveillance from competing | Jan 02 04:53 |
| techrightssec2 | interests. However, they do that by ignoring the intentional damage that | Jan 02 04:53 |
| techrightssec2 | ByteDance and, to a certain extent, Meta do to physical and mental health of | Jan 02 04:53 |
| techrightssec2 | their victims^wsubscribers | Jan 02 04:53 |
| schestowitz-TR | i have a lot of thoughts on that, but further thinking and input from articles (imc. Daily Links) | Jan 02 05:19 |
| schestowitz-TR | will make our arguments more convincing | Jan 02 05:19 |
| schestowitz-TR | the goal is to get people to frame and to explain the problems correctly | Jan 02 05:19 |
| schestowitz-TR | as with... war on cash... "self-checkout" etc. | Jan 02 05:19 |
| schestowitz-TR | to the point where more people quit using skinnerboxes and "social" "media" | Jan 02 05:19 |
| schestowitz-TR | one nice thing would be, more people on gemini/rss/irc | Jan 02 05:19 |

| schestowitz-TR | not sure if bug or not | Jan 02 05:29 |
| schestowitz-TR | somehow arindam posted a story with a title blank | Jan 02 05:29 |
| schestowitz-TR | that caused some consistency issues in the site | Jan 02 05:29 |
| schestowitz-TR | I got the url from gemini side | Jan 02 05:29 |
| schestowitz-TR | and updated | Jan 02 05:29 |
| schestowitz-TR | added title | Jan 02 05:29 |
| schestowitz-TR | this mostly resolved things, but maybe not fully | Jan 02 05:30 |
| schestowitz-TR | the navigation arrows link to it, but not the index below | Jan 02 05:30 |
| schestowitz-TR | it is still there in the rss feed. i am strating to suspect he entered invalid title,, e.g. a url | Jan 02 05:30 |
| schestowitz-TR | ah, ok, it is there in updated at the top, so it's gone from nowhere | Jan 02 05:30 |
| schestowitz-TR | long story short, a story with void title got added somehow, but changing it to have one seems to have | Jan 02 05:30 |
| schestowitz-TR | solved everything, no db consistency issues afaictr | Jan 02 05:30 |

| techrightssec2 | checking | Jan 02 11:22 |
| techrightssec2 | Waffle is not Gemini :( | Jan 02 11:22 |
| techrightssec2 | The linked HTTPS article has rather lame content in that it does not delve | Jan 02 11:22 |
| techrightssec2 | into the issues like is needed. Some points have been missed, for example\ | Jan 02 11:22 |
| techrightssec2 | systemd is /not/ an init system even if it might contain one. | Jan 02 11:22 |
| techrightssec2 | Another SystemD article there omits any hint of the politics that forced | Jan 02 11:22 |
| techrightssec2 | SystemD into Debian via the TC and thus into 100s of derivatives. | Jan 02 11:22 |
| techrightssec2 | Popular != Common | Jan 02 11:22 |
| techrightssec2 | I dunno the articles spot checked are not up to the 9to5 Linux level or OMG Ubuntu level | Jan 02 11:22 |
| techrightssec2 | By the way, I am wondering if the scaping method is an appropriate direction at | Jan 02 11:22 |
| techrightssec2 | all because it's starting to look like the same images get downloaded multiple | Jan 02 11:23 |
| techrightssec2 | times. I suppose it would be possilbe to find duplicates and replace them with\hard links instead though. Thoug | Jan 02 11:23 |

| schestowitz-TR | dupe detection does work | Jan 02 11:23 |

| schestowitz-TR | I'd leave TM as it is | Jan 02 11:23 |

| schestowitz-TR | as it was full of Microsoft lies | Jan 02 13:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | now we know Microsoft is also paying them | Jan 02 13:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | worth doing a video about? | Jan 02 13:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | or waste of time/publicity for them? | Jan 02 13:05 |
| psydruid | Windows does NOT just work | Jan 02 13:06 |
| psydruid | macOS does NOT just work | Jan 02 13:06 |
| psydruid | yes, I would do a video about them | Jan 02 13:07 |
| psydruid | they're from India, the rest of the world doesn't care that much | Jan 02 13:07 |
| psydruid | but Microsoft knows it can exceed certain limits there | Jan 02 13:07 |
| psydruid | more than it would in western media | Jan 02 13:08 |
| psydruid | and they know the next billions of potential users are in Asia and Africa | Jan 02 13:08 |

| schestowitz-TR | psydruid: this is one of two articles of his | Jan 02 13:09 |
| schestowitz-TR | both anti-Linux | Jan 02 13:09 |

| schestowitz-TR | they even admit this | Jan 02 13:10 |
| schestowitz-TR | "brand" partner | Jan 02 13:10 |
| psydruid | yes, a lot is at stake at thus crossroads | Jan 02 13:10 |
| schestowitz-TR | so you see how much Microsoft loves Linux | Jan 02 13:10 |
| psydruid | punish them for it now | Jan 02 13:10 |

| schestowitz-TR | ok, hang on | Jan 02 13:10 |

| schestowitz-TR | i want to ask quickly | Jan 02 13:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | the thing tou said about ibm and microsoft as brand partners | Jan 02 13:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | is that the animated stuff, like carousel? | Jan 02 13:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | i am taking screenshot | Jan 02 13:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | is there another place? | Jan 02 13:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | crude draft, not even previewed yet | Jan 02 13:26 |

| techrightssec2 | checking | Jan 02 13:40 |
| techrightssec2 | some links to counter points would help, such as showing desktop market | Jan 02 13:40 |
| techrightssec2 | \share with and without android, showing supercomputer marketshare ;) and | Jan 02 13:40 |
| techrightssec2 | so on. There were also some usability studies around showing that GNU/Linux | Jan 02 13:40 |
| techrightssec2 | has been much easier to use on the desktop than M$ for decades now. | Jan 02 13:40 |
| techrightssec2 | The canard brought up there is installation but 1) installation is eaiser on | Jan 02 13:40 |
| techrightssec2 | GNU/Linux anyway, but 2) installation is irrelevant because people buy with | Jan 02 13:40 |
| techrightssec2 | a system pre-installed, see the birdhouse link about the idea that the OEMs | Jan 02 13:40 |
| techrightssec2 | have no technical barrier to having the hardware come pre-loaded with a choice | Jan 02 13:40 |
| techrightssec2 | of several systems and that the purchaser chooses upon first boot. | Jan 02 13:40 |
| schestowitz-TR | I think I'll use these notes and chain that into a video next time I record (tomorrow morning, we | Jan 02 13:41 |
| schestowitz-TR | cover some ISO crap) | Jan 02 13:41 |
| techrightssec2 | ok but no direct quoting of the above please | Jan 02 13:41 |
| schestowitz-TR | ok, sure | Jan 02 13:41 |
| schestowitz-TR | just notes for the mind | Jan 02 13:41 |
| schestowitz-TR | i suspect he'll carry on, so having a page or two to link two for rebuttal can help | Jan 02 13:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | like we did icbm before it started viciously attacking the community as "sexist" and "racist" | Jan 02 13:44 |
| psydruid | my mom hasn't used Windows in 6 years since a ransomware attack took out Windows 7 | Jan 02 13:47 |
| schestowitz-TR | maybe we need to watch AIM just to monitor for further hatchet jobs | Jan 02 13:48 |
| psydruid | of course all the real data was on a separate drive inaccessible to Windows | Jan 02 13:48 |
| schestowitz-TR | not sure | Jan 02 13:48 |
| psydruid | but she'll never use that malware again | Jan 02 13:48 |
| psydruid | my uncle likewise hasn't used Windows in years | Jan 02 13:49 |
| psydruid | these are normal people, who aren't tech-savvy | Jan 02 13:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | About AIM, I told you months ago they were Microsofters | Jan 02 13:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | it might be worth still watching them | Jan 02 13:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | and putting in other_links | Jan 02 13:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | to see if they keep at it | Jan 02 13:49 |
| psydruid | my cousin told me to erase Windows 10 from his laptop | Jan 02 13:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | and respond | Jan 02 13:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | cool:) | Jan 02 13:52 |
| techrightssec2 | ack | Jan 02 13:56 |
| psydruid | reading the Serif forum thread about GNU/Linux support it has become clear to me that entire fields are on GNU/Linux now with just a few applications not being ported over probably due to underhanded tactics and secret agreements with Microsoft and Apple | Jan 02 14:00 |
| psydruid | GNU/Linux adoption is artificially limited at this point | Jan 02 14:01 |
| techrightssec2 | They're M$ "partners" so they will only be able to parrot m$ talking points. | Jan 02 14:08 |
| techrightssec2 | Though that is annoying it does show what m$ is paying fools to spew to the | Jan 02 14:08 |
| techrightssec2 | public these days. | Jan 02 14:08 |
| psydruid | there are more closed source products that work on all 3 | Jan 02 14:24 |

| techrightssec2 | hobbled to keep *any* Windoze around | Jan 02 14:26 |

| schestowitz-TR | yes, Apple too | Jan 02 15:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | but Apple tends to proxy a bit via cultists | Jan 02 15:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | not just MVPs and such | Jan 02 15:01 |
| techrightssec2 | m$ recent aggression might be due to both a bad financial situation combined | Jan 02 15:56 |
| techrightssec2 | with growing political awareness of the importance of ending m$ deployments | Jan 02 15:56 |
| techrightssec2 | in production (and development) environments. | Jan 02 15:56 |
| techrightssec2 | Jan 02 15:57 | |
| techrightssec2 | CNet and others are pushing spam but it is the nature of the spam which is | Jan 02 15:57 |
| techrightssec2 | telling. By selling "lifetime" subscriptions, m$ is making a grab for the data\and hoping that people will fall | Jan 02 15:57 |
| techrightssec2 | for the sunk cost fallacy some more. | Jan 02 15:57 |
| psydruid | in India GNU/Linux is the main competitor to M$, not Apple | Jan 02 16:15 |
| psydruid | so that probably explains why they think they have to be aggressive now | Jan 02 16:15 |
