[03:35] techrightssec2 Otherwise the rants risk painting actual Open Source or mayb even Free and Open [03:35] techrightssec2 Source software in a bad light by creating confusion or a bad association. [03:36] schestowitz-TR the problem is, there are many companies called "Sirius" [03:36] schestowitz-TR including XM ● Jan 03 [04:29] techrightssec2 Right, however the main point is to avoid tying the phrase to a company that [04:29] techrightssec2 is quite bad and heading down the drain even though it was once rather good [04:29] techrightssec2 to work at, pre-NDA [04:30] schestowitz-TR curiously enough one file did not get copied to ipfs last night [04:30] schestowitz-TR I detected this because I monittor closely with sanity checks [04:30] schestowitz-TR the logs suggest it was passed [04:30] schestowitz-TR but I could not see it there [04:30] schestowitz-TR sent it manually [04:30] schestowitz-TR rerunning now [04:30] schestowitz-TR it's the latest bulletin file [04:30] schestowitz-TR it did copy it correctly to the local ipfs node (pi) [04:30] schestowitz-TR strange that verbose rsync would show it as passing ok [04:30] schestowitz-TR comes to show you cannot blindly rely on that [04:30] schestowitz-TR side upside: I realised irc scrollback in gemini was not running [04:30] schestowitz-TR it lost the link yesterday [04:30] schestowitz-TR oh, wait, logging worked OK, I think [04:30] schestowitz-TR it shows it passing ok to the pi [04:30] schestowitz-TR nothing shown for the server [04:30] schestowitz-TR so everything does get caught at the end [04:30] schestowitz-TR I'm happier now :-) [04:30] schestowitz-TR what do you suggest I refer to the company as? There are also some unknowns, as there [04:30] schestowitz-TR might be more romance there [04:34] *DaemonFC has quit (Quit: Leaving) ● Jan 03 [05:45] *DaemonFC (~daemonfc@6adq2i74bns2q.irc) has joined #boycottnovell ● Jan 03 [07:53] schestowitz-TR starting the year on strong note, will cover gnu/linux shgare and IAM FUD. OTA! (AIM) ● Jan 03 [08:19] techrightssec2 I'm not sure of what to refer to the company as [08:20] schestowitz-TR recording 2 videos [08:20] schestowitz-TR one will use the web stats for a "positive note" wrt AIM FUD [08:20] schestowitz-TR OTA [08:20] techrightssec2 ack [08:20] techrightssec2 excellent\ [08:37] schestowitz-TR my failed run at ipfs seems to have thrown your scripts off course [08:37] schestowitz-TR the irc post for today is a repat of yesterday's [08:37] schestowitz-TR can you re-run the script? [08:37] schestowitz-TR the post slug ought to stay the same: [08:37] schestowitz-TR irc-log-010132-2 [08:37] schestowitz-TR to avoid breaking any links [08:37] schestowitz-TR but the title and body need to be changed and it's hard from my end [08:37] schestowitz-TR the hash for the daily bulletin is now there [08:37] schestowitz-TR my manual fix corrected it [08:40] techrightssec2 It'll have to be a manual update. Checking ... ● Jan 03 [09:12] schestowitz-TR thanks, this whole thing emanated from the bulletin not being passed to the ipfs server [09:12] schestowitz-TR for reasons not known to me, maybe a network glitch [09:12] schestowitz-TR sorry, I was recording [09:12] techrightssec2 ok it has been re-run, perhaps a link from the old to the new is needed? [09:13] schestowitz-TR while recording I saw the corrections :-) this distracted me a bit :-) [09:13] schestowitz-TR checking... [09:19] schestowitz-TR the correction style is excellent as no links get broken [09:19] schestowitz-TR checking the link... [09:35] techrightssec2 The input text is left as-is for the most part. Some editing can be done inside [09:35] techrightssec2 the nano editor's session. [09:48] schestowitz-TR dr farnell's message is interesting [09:48] schestowitz-TR seems like an epidemic is unhappy tech workers [09:48] schestowitz-TR just like nurses [09:48] schestowitz-TR rianne was just mentioning nerses and gps [09:48] schestowitz-TR i told her not only a gp finds himself overworked and underpaid these days [09:48] schestowitz-TR so it's good to know it's a widespread phenomenon [09:48] schestowitz-TR btw, epo wiki about to reach 3 ml views [09:48] schestowitz-TR drafting the article about AIM atm ● Jan 03 [10:17] schestowitz-TR draft [10:17] schestowitz-TR btw, not many people turn on xmas light this year [10:17] schestowitz-TR or hours very limited [10:17] schestowitz-TR same for fireworkd [10:17] schestowitz-TR so a lot of the mood is "lost" [10:22] techrightssec2 more details on market share stats might be useful, especially that GNU.Linux [10:22] techrightssec2 is growing in market share in India [10:22] techrightssec2 Fireworks reduction is good all around, they are a safety and environmental [10:22] techrightssec2 hazard, not to mention a problem for dogs. Most lights, though consume very\ [10:22] techrightssec2 little so while the energy adds up at scale it'd be even better for people [10:22] techrightssec2 to unplug or (or turn off via a switch) their chargers or other wall warts. [10:22] techrightssec2 Those are not a small drain on the grid when taken as a total population, [10:22] techrightssec2 Back too the draft, in addition to showing the rate of increase and not just\ [10:22] techrightssec2 the current market share, it would help to provide a line or two summarizing [10:22] techrightssec2 the IRC conversation so that readers know what the link goes to ., [10:22] schestowitz-TR working on it, cheers [10:25] *DaemonFC has quit (Quit: Leaving) ● Jan 03 [12:31] *psydruid (~psydruid@jevhxkzmtrbww.irc) has left #boycottnovell [12:34] *psydruid (~psydruid@jevhxkzmtrbww.irc) has joined #boycottnovell [12:42] *psydruid (~psydruid@jevhxkzmtrbww.irc) has left #boycottnovell [12:43] *psydruid (~psydruid@jevhxkzmtrbww.irc) has joined #boycottnovell [12:52] *psydruid (~psydruid@jevhxkzmtrbww.irc) has left #boycottnovell [12:56] *psydruid (~psydruid@jevhxkzmtrbww.irc) has joined #boycottnovell ● Jan 03 [13:32] *psydruid (~psydruid@jevhxkzmtrbww.irc) has left #boycottnovell [13:33] *psydruid (~psydruid@jevhxkzmtrbww.irc) has joined #boycottnovell ● Jan 03 [14:09] *Mio14 has quit (Ping timeout: 120 seconds) [14:34] schestowitz-TR "merged" still on the way btw?
