I don't have too many preferences [01:50] Techrights-sec about what goes in which pane. [01:50] schestowitz-TR thye script you look for is in /root [01:50] schestowitz-TR monitor-techrights.sh iirc [01:50] schestowitz-TR thye script you look for is in /root [01:50] schestowitz-TR monitor-techrights.sh iirc [01:51] Techrights-sec ack [01:51] Techrights-sec yep [01:51] schestowitz-TR I am racing against the clock, 2:30, to finish daily links [01:51] schestowitz-TR only had 1.5 hours of sleep [01:54] Techrights-sec more sleep is preferable; cat naps help but at least two medium length blocks [01:54] Techrights-sec are necessary [01:54] Techrights-sec during a cycle [01:55] Techrights-sec from top: [01:55] Techrights-sec 5592 boycottn 20 0 439892 75776 16772 R 92.1 0.2 8:15.12 php-fpm [01:55] schestowitz-TR I think we can do lots of tidying up after this reboot, which means we need to rearrange some thing regardless [01:55] schestowitz-TR I like to use rebotos to think afresh about things ● Jan 03 [02:01] Techrights-sec a major update is needed either of packages or the whole OS [02:01] Techrights-sec 641 boycottn 20 0 429832 65400 16764 R 99.7 0.2 9:15.98 php-fpm [02:01] schestowitz-TR as we did with gemini, I think we need to think of moving away from wordpress at some stage [02:01] schestowitz-TR it's a good thing that we put the git stuff there [02:03] Techrights-sec yes wordpress is past its prime [02:03] schestowitz-TR bloating is part of the software modern lifecycle [02:08] schestowitz-TR I want to think a tad more laterally thyan just cms change [02:08] schestowitz-TR like, where does the www go? [02:08] schestowitz-TR is www the future? [02:08] schestowitz-TR how to best present thing? [02:09] schestowitz-TR social control media a dead end? [02:09] schestowitz-TR video? [02:09] schestowitz-TR leaked docs with annotations? [02:09] schestowitz-TR Andy has excellent insights on www and loves the videos, wants to talk to me more [02:09] schestowitz-TR in private about ideas [02:09] schestowitz-TR he also installed gemini and had a go at it [02:09] schestowitz-TR as a host of a capsule that is, I still think elementary schools can teach it [02:09] schestowitz-TR helps teach unix, proigrammer, gemtext [02:09] schestowitz-TR not some API of some framework of JS [02:10] Techrights-sec yes wordpress is past its prime [02:10] Techrights-sec to often but not necessary or unavoidable part; however if a suite gets to [02:10] Techrights-sec too complicated or bloated then refactoring is not an option; [02:10] Techrights-sec then it has to be thrown away an started afresh; see openssl and ntpd [02:10] Techrights-sec okI'm not sure about the WWW and don't have much of a feeling for the [02:10] Techrights-sec pulse. A lot of 'developers' and 'researches' seem to be chasing crumbs and [02:11] Techrights-sec leftovers from Google and Facebook and, to a lesser extent, Wikipedia. [02:11] Techrights-sec It is mainly the first two which are not so quietly jockeyig for a position [02:11] Techrights-sec where they can wrest sole control over all future development directions. [02:11] Techrights-sec Excellent, he has good thoughts and is articulate. [02:11] Techrights-sec The lack of client packaging is holding gemini back a lot but that might be [02:11] Techrights-sec good in that it raises the technical barriers for initial entry [02:11] Techrights-sec It would be great for schools and a web server used to be the "Hello, World" [02:11] Techrights-sec equivalent for networking. So the same would be for Gemini, though [02:11] Techrights-sec the TLS requirment would require a bit of explanation. [02:11] Techrights-sec There was a little noise about "web0" the last few days but I think it might [02:11] Techrights-sec still be ignoring the javascript plague and infestation that needs to be [02:11] Techrights-sec eliminated along with the corporatisms. However, I have not read in depth [02:11] Techrights-sec on "web0" as the one author called it. [02:11] schestowitz-TR yes,, I saw the debate about it ages ago [02:11] schestowitz-TR lke "web3" it's not the right thing [02:11] schestowitz-TR cranks and stuff [02:11] Techrights-sec Unfortunately the complexity of the javascript frameworks are taking precedent [02:11] Techrights-sec over teaching properly structured information. [02:11] schestowitz-TR tim bl took the JS route with MS Shithub [02:13] Techrights-sec and EME [02:13] Techrights-sec not sure how he got so detached from the world or if they had some solid [02:13] Techrights-sec life threatening exchanges to bring hin around [02:13] Techrights-sec . [02:13] schestowitz-TR lol "solid" [02:13] schestowitz-TR pun? [02:13] schestowitz-TR well, they could have sent him to therapists and asked for apology to Microsofters ;-) [02:14] Techrights-sec solid as in credible threats [02:14] Techrights-sec like what happened with durusau and sjvn and co [02:14] Techrights-sec or torvalds or rms etc [02:14] schestowitz-TR wait, you know why solid is a pun... right? [02:15] Techrights-sec not yet [02:15] Techrights-sec ah he had some gimmick named "solid" which did the opposite of what he claimed [02:15] Techrights-sec it aimed to do [02:16] schestowitz-TR yes! :) [02:18] Techrights-sec fwiw Git is now backed up; that needs to be automated also; [02:18] schestowitz-TR been a while since I last backed up ergo irc as well [02:21] Techrights-sec I just backed up the data / archives; if I am able to set up a NAS this year, [02:21] Techrights-sec I may be able to cache locally on it too [02:21] schestowitz-TR reminds me I need to back up my main laptop! [02:21] Techrights-sec always a very good idea, especially incremental backups with periodic full [02:21] Techrights-sec backups [02:25] schestowitz-TR anyway, two things we can benefit from [02:25] schestowitz-TR 1) how to better shape the site for the changing times [02:25] schestowitz-TR bear in mind I have more docs than I can publish and comment on [02:25] schestowitz-TR wikileaks ended up mostly dumping loads [02:25] schestowitz-TR 2) operations, e.g. how to make tmux show better, automate backups [02:25] schestowitz-TR xrevan said something about making irc have more than one point [02:25] schestowitz-TR of failure [02:25] schestowitz-TR (in logs, soon) [02:25] schestowitz-TR having freenode was very helpful [02:26] Techrights-sec yes, there are now a few more IRC networks than just during the freenode era [02:27] schestowitz-TR I park in 4 networks [02:27] schestowitz-TR i theory we already shadow in LC and I can meet people there, but do not want to encourage this [02:27] schestowitz-TR *in theory, it even logs from there [02:28] schestowitz-TR so all those networks work in conjunction really, albeit all the activity happens in one [02:28] Techrights-sec lc is not so desirable [02:29] Techrights-sec are they mirrored, sort of? [02:29] schestowitz-TR yes, fully. but not bridged [02:30] schestowitz-TR to put it simply [network]/[channel] write/s to same file/s [02:31] Techrights-sec is it even desirable to bridge in those cases?

[05:02] schestowitz [20:53] yeah, we talked about that because it came up that Graveley lived in Brazil [05:02] schestowitz [20:54] Also mentioned a portuguese language film that I was disturbed by Alex's obsession with [05:02] schestowitz [20:55] Talk to Her - about a male nurse raping a woman in a coma, but it's a romance [05:02] schestowitz [20:55] gosh [05:02] schestowitz [20:55] seems like we have a whols series [05:02] schestowitz [20:55] not an article [05:03] schestowitz [20:56] Source: Jimmy Savile dd that [05:03] schestowitz [20:56] but to kids [05:03] schestowitz [20:56] in a hospital [05:03] schestowitz [20:57] It's relevant b/c Alex kept asking me to get blackout drunk to fulfill a kink [05:03] schestowitz [20:58] wow [05:03] schestowitz [20:59] Alex is a really bad dude. Nat seems to have been good at maintaining a wholesome persona publicly [05:03] schestowitz [21:00] I'm trying to make people aware, but because i never worked at Github, journalists think it's a non-issue [05:03] schestowitz [21:00] there are journalists still? [05:03] schestowitz [21:00] good question lol [05:03] schestowitz [21:01] many are cynical about what the occupation became [05:03] schestowitz [21:01] even the other day my dad told me [05:03] schestowitz [21:01] they seem to be working on all the workers rights [05:03] schestowitz [21:01] a friend of his, retired journalist, was enraged about journalism becoming just corporate PR 15 years ago [05:03] schestowitz [21:02] that's true. all the noise this week could just be giants firing shots at each other [05:03] schestowitz [21:04] which publishers did you try? [05:03] schestowitz [21:04] Remember Microsoft pays many for "advertising" [05:03] schestowitz [21:05] vox, bloomberg, buzzfeed [05:03] schestowitz [21:06] the first two are in Microsoft's pocket [05:03] schestowitz [21:06] part of the issue is graveley's disinformation campaign against me has taken root [05:03] schestowitz [21:06] not sure about the third [05:03] schestowitz [21:07] vox did some reporting on the Github Nazi incident [05:03] schestowitz [21:07] they usually believe the rich person [05:03] schestowitz [21:07] we examine the evidence [05:03] schestowitz [21:07] they also fer lawsuits (media) [05:03] schestowitz [21:07] I guess Nat threw the female HR head under the bus and made himself the hero [05:03] schestowitz [21:07] Source: but B-I broke the story [05:03] schestowitz [21:07] on the nazi firing incident [05:03] schestowitz [21:08] yeah, I think you're right. having a hard time keeping it straight [05:03] schestowitz [21:08] we work with some Microsoft whistleblowers [05:03] schestowitz [21:08] NYT, but after bad art friend, they don't look good [05:03] schestowitz [21:08] they trust us [05:03] schestowitz [21:08] because we don't self-censor [05:03] schestowitz [21:08] NYTimes is a mixed bag [05:03] schestowitz [21:08] they're harder to bribe [05:03] schestowitz [21:09] you can only keep them silent some of the time, not all the time [05:03] schestowitz [21:09] Gates bribed The Verge to fire a reporter who worked with us [05:03] schestowitz [21:09] on a story exposing Gates Foundation abuses like 8 years ago [05:03] schestowitz [21:09] jesus [05:03] schestowitz [21:09] he eventually went too far [05:03] schestowitz [21:10] now a lot more people know the RealBill [05:04] schestowitz [21:10] Real Deal [05:04] schestowitz [21:10] Bill also bribed by boss [05:04] schestowitz [21:10] it didn't work [05:04] schestowitz [21:10] well, sounds like I finally have some answers [05:04] schestowitz [21:10] it happened just after I had started my series about the arrest at his home [05:04] schestowitz [21:10] read up on what Weinstein [05:04] schestowitz [21:10] did to media [05:04] schestowitz [21:11] and how he suppressed the story for many years [05:04] schestowitz [21:11] similar tactics [05:04] schestowitz [21:11] woman-shaming [05:04] schestowitz [21:11] I used to work in disinfo research [05:04] schestowitz [21:11] spying on them [05:04] schestowitz [21:11] spiking stories etc. [05:04] schestowitz [21:11] they had to group in large numbers to break the media silence [05:04] schestowitz [21:11] I'm aware of a lot of the mechanics [05:04] schestowitz [21:11] there are agencies for this [05:04] schestowitz [21:11] 'consultant' [05:04] schestowitz [21:11] 'crisis management' [05:04] schestowitz [21:12] yeah... there's lots of women that don't want to talk about what Alex did to them [05:04] schestowitz [21:12] Weinstein hired spies [05:04] schestowitz [21:12] TallPoppy [05:04] schestowitz [21:12] now more people know about Gamma Group, NSO Group etc. [05:04] schestowitz [21:12] TallPoppy is trying to turn that into a service [05:04] schestowitz [21:13] do you have written correspondence with those publishers? [05:04] schestowitz [21:13] we should do a part or two about their role in covering up for the powerful interests [05:04] schestowitz [21:13] yes [05:04] schestowitz [21:13] good [05:04] schestowitz [21:13] Chelsea Manning tried WashPo (now Bezos) and NYTimes [05:04] schestowitz [21:14] they were not interested in war crimes [05:04] schestowitz [21:14] so Chelsea (Brad back then) went to Wikileaks [05:04] schestowitz [21:14] I don't think Dropbox has dirty hands. They just wanted his patents and fired him for abuse [05:04] schestowitz [21:14] and now people know this and remember this [05:04] schestowitz [21:14] Dropbox had or still has Condy Rice on the Board [05:04] schestowitz [21:14] it's not a lovey-dovey company [05:04] schestowitz [21:14] they also work for the NSA as informant [05:04] schestowitz [21:15] with direct data access to NSA [05:04] schestowitz [21:15] based on PRISM leaks (2013) [05:04] schestowitz [21:15] something something elasticsearch [05:16] *u-amarsh04 has quit (Connection closed) [05:16] *u-amarsh04 has quit (connection closed) ● Jan 03 [07:21] *DaemonFC has quit (connection closed) ● Jan 03 [09:00] schestowitz

    It's been a full two years since I wrote about how Linux is now a viable OS for PC gaming and in that time a lot has changed. The open-source desktop OS isn't just for gaming. It's also great for a bunch of other computing tasks one usually does on Windows or even macOS. After using Windows for more than two decades, I find myself no longer able to put up with it.
