| schestowitz-TR | Turns out Debian 10 puts /tmp under / | May 03 08:06 |
|---|---|---|
| schestowitz-TR | And so after putting some video backups in /tmp | May 03 08:06 |
| schestowitz-TR | root partition ran out of space | May 03 08:06 |
| schestowitz-TR | all I saw was unrelated error messages | May 03 08:06 |
| schestowitz-TR | before finding the culprit | May 03 08:06 |
| schestowitz-TR | I am surprised it took me so long to find the culprit | May 03 08:06 |
| schestowitz-TR | I was focused on networking | May 03 08:07 |
| schestowitz-TR | as it caused barrier not to work | May 03 08:07 |
| schestowitz-TR | and then I could not save to remote places either | May 03 08:07 |
| schestowitz-TR | as if the ssh socket died | May 03 08:07 |
| schestowitz-TR | but anyway, shit happens, lessons learned | May 03 08:07 |
| Techrights-sec | :( that's not a good arrangment # Connection from unexpected host! # | May 03 08:07 |
| Techrights-sec | GNu/Linux distros are getting too much damage from Windows in the form of ### | May 03 08:07 |
| Techrights-sec | bad ideas | May 03 08:07 |
| Techrights-sec | full / is a too-common occurenc/ Filling /var/ is bad to because if it happens | May 03 08:07 |
| Techrights-sec | when key files are being written, they go bad and AFAIK cannot be repaired | May 03 08:07 |
| schestowitz-TR | no data (that I know of) done in this case | May 03 08:10 |
| schestowitz-TR | just a waste of time | May 03 08:10 |
| schestowitz-TR | most important things, and files, are in ~ | May 03 08:10 |
| schestowitz-TR | looking back, it would have been nice if I received disk space warnings of some kind | May 03 08:10 |
| schestowitz-TR | either before or after it happened | May 03 08:10 |
| Techrights-sec | i've taken to lookin at outpuf from df -Ph for / and other partitions here on | May 03 08:12 |
| Techrights-sec | occasion | May 03 08:12 |
| schestowitz-TR | side upside is, I got to check all sorts of other systems for their integrity | May 03 08:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | I did not find anything broken, but could have. All in all I spent maybe half an hour. | May 03 08:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | Checking a lot of things. Now I can move on, with the lesson learned. # | May 03 08:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | I'm meant to periodically delete those mp4 files from /tmp but I got lazy as that's no longer | May 03 08:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | a critical machine for my data, just some operational stuff | May 03 08:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | it seems like those SSDs "expire" after a number of read/writes and then they consider themselves | May 03 08:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | not fit/suitable anymore | May 03 08:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | there was an article I saw yesterday from a friend that's related to lifetime of SSDs | May 03 08:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | I finally understood, a few months back, what the % thing is, like 119% | May 03 08:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | it basically goes up over time | May 03 08:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | like a hea;lth quotient | May 03 08:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | it also loogs, in the firmware, number of reboots | May 03 08:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | so I can estimate how many times the previous owner reboots | May 03 08:17 |
| Techrights-sec | smartmonctl ought to show some wear information, too | May 03 08:18 |
| Techrights-sec | if you underprovision the SSD a little, it will last longer | May 03 08:18 |
| Techrights-sec | (or so I have read) | May 03 08:18 |
| schestowitz-TR | the pi is at 51% (one of the many things I tested this morning), I last backed it up a few days ago | May 03 08:19 |
| schestowitz-TR | rianne uses it as a file server too (for her text files, over ssh or fish:// in KDE) | May 03 08:19 |
| schestowitz-TR | as I said, a few sanity checks here and there cannot hurt | May 03 08:19 |
| schestowitz-TR | afaik, no damage got done, just some 'lost' time due to weird symptoms | May 03 08:19 |
| schestowitz-TR | oh, in hindsight I can sum up all the errors I saw as, /tmp has no space left | May 03 08:27 |
| schestowitz-TR | but that's part fo root | May 03 08:27 |
| schestowitz-TR | in theory I could parttiion debian to give //tmp its own dir | May 03 08:27 |
| schestowitz-TR | writing a lot to /tmp might be OK, but not 10gb | May 03 08:27 |
| Techrights-sec | ack | May 03 08:32 |
| Techrights-sec | I'm not sure what hte recommended best practice is for such large files | May 03 08:32 |
| Techrights-sec | One such file in the wrong partition can cause massive trouble | May 03 08:32 |
| schestowitz-TR | these files are several times more massive when they come from obs on 'bubi' (elephant name) | May 03 08:35 |
| schestowitz-TR | which is why it filled up so fast without me nolticing | May 03 08:35 |
| schestowitz-TR | though it does show me the total size on the screen | May 03 08:35 |
| schestowitz-TR | each time I make a video | May 03 08:35 |
| schestowitz-TR | I just ignored it | May 03 08:35 |
| schestowitz-TR | it was showing up for a reason | May 03 08:35 |
| schestowitz-TR | I could configure it to wipe out those files when a certain thereshold is exceeded | May 03 08:35 |
| schestowitz-TR | you can see preview.sh | May 03 08:35 |
| schestowitz-TR | this issue could be a lot more catastrophic | May 03 08:35 |
| schestowitz-TR | and so far I've not seen any real damage | May 03 08:35 |
| Techrights-sec | find can do conditinoal deletions based on age and size | May 03 08:38 |
| Techrights-sec | air gap is best | May 03 08:43 |
| Techrights-sec | if the drive is connected, it is ony a copy and not an actual backup | May 03 08:43 |
| Techrights-sec | I'd say that distinction applies for the durration of the time the drive | May 03 08:43 |
| Techrights-sec | is plugged in | May 03 08:43 |
| Techrights-sec | to the system where it is accessible from the system with the original data | May 03 08:43 |
| schestowitz-TR | yes, a one liner might do | May 03 08:52 |
| schestowitz-TR | if retire that machine this year, I might want to think of a different approach | May 03 08:52 |
| schestowitz-TR | my backup drives are disconnected by default | May 03 08:52 |
| schestowitz-TR | air-gapped to to speak | May 03 08:52 |
| schestowitz-TR | but now the pi is always connected to one | May 03 08:52 |
| schestowitz-TR | a better approach would send the mp4s (disposables) to a large external drive | May 03 08:52 |
| schestowitz-TR | for my laptops I never back up root | May 03 08:52 |
| schestowitz-TR | not enough of value in there | May 03 08:52 |
| schestowitz-TR | and those are not servers | May 03 08:52 |
| schestowitz-TR | so fast recovery less of an isue | May 03 08:52 |
| schestowitz-TR | curiously enough, it turns out any program which relies a lot on /tmp | May 03 08:52 |
| schestowitz-TR | it possibly more flaky that one that uses userspace but that depends on which one | May 03 08:52 |
| schestowitz-TR | runs out of space or goes R-O | May 03 08:52 |
| schestowitz-TR | nobody's backups are perfect, but I think mine are OK | May 03 08:52 |
| schestowitz-TR | for the sites I rely too much on RAID and on you | May 03 08:52 |
| schestowitz-TR | we got some traffic yesterday until Microsoft employees ganged up and censored it | May 03 08:52 |
| schestowitz-TR | details in IRC logs | May 03 08:52 |

| Techrights-sec | HN is controlled if not outright owned by microsofters | May 03 09:01 |
| Techrights-sec | "[flagged] Why People Should Never Ever Use DuckDuckGo (2020) (techrights.org)" | May 03 09:01 |
| Techrights-sec | lots of M$ drivel and shills | May 03 09:01 |
| Techrights-sec | in the comments there | May 03 09:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | I did not even bother reading those | May 03 09:02 |
| schestowitz-TR | but you can see hints | May 03 09:03 |
| schestowitz-TR | we really should never rely on censored medium like this | May 03 09:03 |
| schestowitz-TR | sites are better off isolation from the 'Controlled Web' | May 03 09:03 |
| schestowitz-TR | the 'echo chamber' of the business owners | May 03 09:03 |
| Techrights-sec | in some threads nearly all the comments are from shills, that is is one example | May 03 09:03 |
| Techrights-sec | of many there | May 03 09:03 |
| Techrights-sec | What's sad is that average social control media users seem to not see the | May 03 09:03 |
| Techrights-sec | shilling for what it is and treat the shilling like grassroots | May 03 09:03 |
| Techrights-sec | the HN thread had only a couple legitimate comments the rest from shills | May 03 09:03 |
| Techrights-sec | "community manager" | May 03 09:03 |
| schestowitz-TR | I did see my first name mentioned sometwhere | May 03 09:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | and thought, hang on a sec | May 03 09:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | I did not even write this | May 03 09:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | it's just a factual list of items | May 03 09:04 |
| Techrights-sec | yes they went straight to name calling and casteing apsersions like they | May 03 09:05 |
| Techrights-sec | do to RMS | May 03 09:05 |
| Techrights-sec | if you state facts, they have no counter except to resort to ad hominem | May 03 09:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | it is good when you get used to it | May 03 09:07 |
| schestowitz-TR | because you don't give a shit | May 03 09:07 |
| schestowitz-TR | and just carry on | May 03 09:07 |
| schestowitz-TR | the words they use and the tactics can deter other people from further public participation | May 03 09:07 |
| schestowitz-TR | that never worked on me, except maybe (briefly) in 2005 or 2006 | May 03 09:07 |
| Techrights-sec | HN also seems designed to allow brigading by shills of all stripes, but | May 03 09:10 |
| Techrights-sec | especially microsofters | May 03 09:10 |
| Techrights-sec | the idea is not to deter you but to get people to stop reading | May 03 09:10 |
| Techrights-sec | like the long campaign against RMS which ramped up > 15 years ago | May 03 09:10 |
| Techrights-sec | As long as HN moderators are shills it is hard to set things straight there | May 03 09:10 |
| Techrights-sec | and there is no way to correct from within their site, so yes, just ignore | May 03 09:10 |
| Techrights-sec | them | May 03 09:10 |
| Techrights-sec | and carry on | May 03 09:10 |
| schestowitz-TR | same or similar tactics used against fsfe and debian critics | May 03 09:11 |
| schestowitz-TR | there were several attempts to take down my twitter account last year | May 03 09:11 |
| schestowitz-TR | which almost succeeded | May 03 09:11 |
| schestowitz-TR | that can lead to an escalation of tone or tactics, hence | May 03 09:11 |
| schestowitz-TR | self-fulfilling prophecy like a cycle of violence | May 03 09:11 |
| Techrights-sec | yep | May 03 09:18 |
| Techrights-sec | speaking of violence, with the war in Europe escallating so rapidly, | May 03 09:18 |
| Techrights-sec | the repercussions for allowing microsofters to go unaddressedd will | May 03 09:18 |
| Techrights-sec | be rubbed in peoole's faces ,but the question is whether the individual | May 03 09:18 |
| Techrights-sec | nation states have waited too long and allowed too many saboteurs to spread | May 03 09:18 |
| Techrights-sec | out and get established and dug in, having replaced IT people around the | May 03 09:18 |
| Techrights-sec | continent with their own hostile flunkies | May 03 09:18 |
| schestowitz-TR | one example we currently write about is SaM | May 03 09:21 |
| schestowitz-TR | in videos I keep reminding people SaM works for Microsoft | May 03 09:21 |
| schestowitz-TR | for USA | May 03 09:21 |
| schestowitz-TR | not for belarus | May 03 09:21 |
| schestowitz-TR | and not for EPO for that matter | May 03 09:21 |
| schestowitz-TR | a lot of people don't know the VAR/reseller/MSP mindset and business model | May 03 09:21 |
| schestowitz-TR | they're partly salespeople | May 03 09:21 |
| schestowitz-TR | even lobbyists | May 03 09:21 |
| schestowitz-TR | they might employ some coders | May 03 09:21 |
| schestowitz-TR | but most of the code just comes as binaries from another nation | May 03 09:21 |
| schestowitz-TR | and thye pocket money for the disruption they cause | May 03 09:21 |
| schestowitz-TR | like outsisourcing SUPER-IMPORTANT EPO data to Microsoft | May 03 09:21 |
| schestowitz-TR | EU turns a blind eye, partly because it too is culpable | May 03 09:21 |
| schestowitz-TR | now they have a new word for outsourcing: transformation | May 03 09:21 |
| schestowitz-TR | or "clown" | May 03 09:21 |
| schestowitz-TR | among others | May 03 09:21 |
| schestowitz-TR | it's the "smart" thing to do | May 03 09:21 |
| schestowitz-TR | Why do you NOT send your data to the clown YET? | May 03 09:21 |
| schestowitz-TR | Why are you still using server and keep the data local? | May 03 09:21 |

| schestowitz-TR | EPO is gradually being privatised and quqlity of work/workers/service lowered | May 03 12:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | of course part of that is just lying about |customer experience| etc. | May 03 12:44 |
| Techrights-sec | Yes, the privatisation scam is hitting the EPO, soon they will move to | May 03 12:47 |
| Techrights-sec | financialization and patents won't even be a charade / fascade, they | May 03 12:47 |

| Techrights-sec | making self-hosting impossible; | May 03 13:49 |
| Techrights-sec | case in point: notice how the web browsers have started treating self-signed | May 03 13:49 |

| schestowitz-TR | but thankfully librewolf blocks all the trash... FOR NOW) | May 03 14:13 |

| schestowitz-TR | now I'm sifting through low-quality howto sites, some with poior english (india), | May 03 15:28 |

| schestowitz-TR | I have meanwhile come to realise that phoronix descended into a format I strongly dislike | May 03 16:26 |
| schestowitz-TR | it's basically hardware adds with "Kernel Trap" (the old Web site)-like editorials | May 03 16:26 |

| Techrights-sec | one of the reasons he was treated poorly in shit sites like reddit and such | May 03 16:32 |

| schestowitz-TR | he said, stay there! You're so lucky. | May 03 16:38 |

| schestowitz-TR | he's a BSD person | May 03 16:41 |

| schestowitz-TR | the clown lunacy is sold as "cost-saving" | May 03 16:41 |
| schestowitz-TR | to me, it is reputation-threatening | May 03 16:41 |
| schestowitz-TR | clients need people who solve problem | May 03 16:41 |
| schestowitz-TR | not people who send the job to other companies, which bag the business | May 03 16:41 |
| Techrights-sec | ack | May 03 16:44 |

| schestowitz-TR | to frame it another way, to net and keep a client you need to carry out serevices for them | May 03 16:46 |
| schestowitz-TR | not outsource things for them | May 03 16:46 |
| schestowitz-TR | because you're done | May 03 16:46 |
| schestowitz-TR | but it's not about money | May 03 16:46 |
| schestowitz-TR | it's about actually doing the job, not delegating to X Y Z | May 03 16:46 |

| schestowitz-TR | the old company domain name is now up for renewal | May 03 16:46 |
| schestowitz-TR | let's see what happens | May 03 16:46 |
| schestowitz-TR | rianne mentioned the nominey countdown last night | May 03 16:46 |
| schestowitz-TR | *nominet | May 03 16:46 |
| schestowitz-TR | maybe they can toss all the old domain and put "clown" in there instead | May 03 16:46 |
| schestowitz-TR | or "sometimes" | May 03 16:46 |
| schestowitz-TR | *old domains | May 03 16:46 |
| schestowitz-TR | clown is surveillance and control (see what happens in Ukraine war, not DRM too!) disguised | May 03 16:46 |
| schestowitz-TR | as "cost-saving"/"modern" (the future)/"uptime"/"security" (I regard the outsourcing itself to be a breach) | May 03 16:46 |
| schestowitz-TR | they keep shuffling the fantasies and false promises around | May 03 16:46 |

| schestowitz-TR | the triger for rianne wanting to quit was a colleague pushing to move from asterisk (we've always used it, before | May 03 16:51 |
| schestowitz-TR | I even joined) to Gulag Voice, which doesn't even work and was recently shut down to make way for | May 03 16:51 |
| schestowitz-TR | "modern experience" (all the necessary stuff removed, for business reasons I assume, Gulag's) | May 03 16:51 |
| schestowitz-TR | the colleague whom I think pushed for it used to say "Google is your friend" | May 03 16:51 |
| schestowitz-TR | His main OS< I think, is Windowsd | May 03 16:51 |
| Techrights-sec | asterisk is quite good, in addition to being able to self-host it | May 03 16:52 |
| Techrights-sec | not a real tech person at all then. his statements and actions belie that | May 03 16:52 |
| Techrights-sec | justa reseller, eventually an M$ reseller | May 03 16:52 |
| Techrights-sec | has he come to that yet? | May 03 16:52 |
| schestowitz-TR | no, he does not like Microsoft | May 03 16:54 |
| schestowitz-TR | it's a peculiar situation | May 03 16:54 |
| schestowitz-TR | to make matters worse, he lives with a lesbian couple | May 03 16:54 |
| schestowitz-TR | and his former wife sort of swapped partners with him and the other coupe | May 03 16:54 |
| schestowitz-TR | so on the personal side of things, two colleagues detect that too | May 03 16:54 |
| schestowitz-TR | the lesbians have no clue about GNU/Linux and no qualifiactions in tec | May 03 16:54 |
| schestowitz-TR | he shadows for them | May 03 16:54 |
| Techrights-sec | :/ covering for unqualified people is never good | May 03 16:54 |
| schestowitz-TR | that overurdens him | May 03 16:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | *burdens | May 03 16:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | and he is not THAT good, he just compensated with hours and passion | May 03 16:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | the issue is, we cannot attract, let alone retain, any talented people | May 03 16:58 |
| schestowitz-TR | we still had a few years back, but SarinGas scared them all | May 03 16:58 |
| schestowitz-TR | and now TheLiar is gaslighting everyone | May 03 16:58 |
| schestowitz-TR | we've just collecing or milking | May 03 16:58 |
| schestowitz-TR | the latter is the phrase we use | May 03 16:58 |
| schestowitz-TR | the former, IIRC, is what my friend said | May 03 16:58 |
| schestowitz-TR | it won't last forver, I don't think... | May 03 16:58 |
| schestowitz-TR | but we can set aside savings for little effort and we do not get bullied anymore | May 03 16:58 |
| schestowitz-TR | SarinGas liked to abuse people, and she often did | May 03 16:58 |
| schestowitz-TR | until she got the boot | May 03 16:58 |
| Techrights-sec | it's too bad she was there so long, does the current top management know | May 03 16:59 |
| Techrights-sec | about her and the other dickhead and have a plan to repair things? | May 03 16:59 |
| schestowitz-TR | I came for tech, I stay for popcorn | May 03 17:02 |
| schestowitz-TR | when working from home you get to call people name | May 03 17:02 |
| schestowitz-TR | and they can never find out | May 03 17:02 |
| schestowitz-TR | it makes life a little more sarcastic | May 03 17:02 |
| schestowitz-TR | it would be hard to repair things after drain drain | May 03 17:02 |
| schestowitz-TR | we had a new young colleague from seoul, who left after he realised a number of | May 03 17:02 |
| schestowitz-TR | things in my estimation | May 03 17:02 |
| schestowitz-TR | 1) the skill surve is very steep because we have accounts all over the place, at least 3 VPNs | May 03 17:02 |
| schestowitz-TR | (we used to use LDAP, even for jabber) | May 03 17:02 |
| schestowitz-TR | 2)the slaary is shit, and unless you're fine with (1) you need to spend a lot of time learning | May 03 17:02 |
| schestowitz-TR | (there is no good documentation anymore; nobody bothers, either) | May 03 17:02 |
| schestowitz-TR | 3) dead end, so why bother with (1)? | May 03 17:02 |
| schestowitz-TR | 4) SarinGas and no transparency (well, unless you count lies as such) | May 03 17:02 |
| schestowitz-TR | BOTTOM line: if you know what you are doing, you can get 100 pounds (post-tax) | May 03 17:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | for about one hour of net work | May 03 17:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | That's the only reason several of us stay and have stayed for a long time | May 03 17:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | the management cannot afford to lose any of us, it would have a devastating effect | May 03 17:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | on operations | May 03 17:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | (due to (1) mostly) | May 03 17:04 |
| Techrights-sec | beware hot mics | May 03 17:04 |
| Techrights-sec | Yes, many companies fail to have a decent process or envrionment to bring | May 03 17:04 |
| Techrights-sec | in new people and have them level up; | May 03 17:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | in our case (us, rianne & roy, not $company), we've leveraged this to our advantage | May 03 17:08 |
| schestowitz-TR | we're like a custom-made home with intercom (landline, 20 pounds 10 years ago), sip phone | May 03 17:08 |
| schestowitz-TR | monitoring machines and workflow for collaboration... so doing a shift is easy-peasy | May 03 17:08 |
| schestowitz-TR | when you are not on "famous" sites like Musk Social, and colleagues don't know what IRC is, | May 03 17:09 |
| schestowitz-TR | you can carry on as usual and sometimes forget you are working | May 03 17:09 |
| schestowitz-TR | leaving twitter has that benefit too | May 03 17:09 |
| schestowitz-TR | I don't do FB,but I read and hear of people who get in trouble for what they post | May 03 17:09 |
| schestowitz-TR | during working hours or what they post on their sick leave (of if "late" for work) | May 03 17:09 |
| schestowitz-TR | FB as a service... for bosses | May 03 17:09 |
| schestowitz-TR | Tomorrow we cover FB as career ender... for SaM | May 03 17:09 |
| schestowitz-TR | I posted a teaser this morning | May 03 17:09 |
| schestowitz-TR | btw, all this stuff is OK in public | May 03 17:10 |
| schestowitz-TR | it's like insultign amish on live TV | May 03 17:10 |

| Techrights-sec | :/ | May 03 17:10 |
| schestowitz-TR | side story (nostalgia) | May 03 17:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | more than 10 years ago a female colleague whom I won't name set up an IRC channel in freenode (IIRC) to make a | May 03 17:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | place for staff to express dissent | May 03 17:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | the management found out about it, and this wasn't the last such effort (I'm told) | May 03 17:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | it's worse than a union | May 03 17:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | one person got sacked over something similar (I was never told the exact details of what had happened) | May 03 17:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | the mistake there was, too many people having to keep hushed) | May 03 17:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | no anonymity and so on | May 03 17:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | rookies | May 03 17:15 |
| Techrights-sec | ack | May 03 17:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | then, when a blind colleague was sacked (this is legally dynamite) the jabber server was temporarily shut down | May 03 17:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | based on obviously BS excuses | May 03 17:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | to discourage colleagues talking to one another | May 03 17:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | as if they have no mobile phones etc. | May 03 17:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | this reminds me of what EPO does to SUEPO | May 03 17:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | or Lukashenko with his "brilliant" Internet shutdowns | May 03 17:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | the people who do this would also block techrights as if workers live and sleep on the fanctory floor | May 03 17:15 |

| Techrights-sec | eww | May 03 17:27 |
| schestowitz-TR | yes, I did not refine my search, I'd rather not even have entered what I did into that search box, so I carefully | May 03 17:27 |
| schestowitz-TR | crafted the string | May 03 17:28 |
| schestowitz-TR | hmm... coronavirus portal in the UK not updated since April 29th. It's 17:30 already. BillBC is in full propaganda | May 03 17:29 |
| schestowitz-TR | mode, herding people back into their cages in the office | May 03 17:29 |
| Techrights-sec | I think that portal or its data is getting phased out. | May 03 17:38 |
| schestowitz-TR | they already revised, several times, what they publish and how to make it seem smaller than it is | May 03 17:38 |
| schestowitz-TR | as I pointed out at the time | May 03 17:38 |
| schestowitz-TR | and it's still the best we have | May 03 17:38 |

| schestowitz-TR | when I go to bed rianne usually stays up with the laptop on either gulagtube or billbc | May 03 17:53 |
| schestowitz-TR | the latter is only good for shits and giggles | May 03 17:53 |
| schestowitz-TR | she says she only sees the pictures and headlines, barely clicks | May 03 17:53 |
| schestowitz-TR | but to actually get meaningful news out of it is not possible | May 03 17:53 |
| schestowitz-TR | it's pollution for the head and nothing of actual importance | May 03 17:53 |
| schestowitz-TR | more like TV boradcast but more static | May 03 17:53 |
| schestowitz-TR | sooner or later there will be no "creators" left in gulagtube | May 03 17:53 |
| schestowitz-TR | not even spamnil | May 03 17:54 |
| schestowitz-TR | no incentive to invest the time | May 03 17:54 |
| schestowitz-TR | then the site will have no creators but licensors | May 03 17:54 |
| schestowitz-TR | for "official" football videos, and adds front, end, and centre | May 03 17:54 |
| schestowitz-TR | *ads | May 03 17:54 |
| schestowitz-TR | gulag is "in for a shock" if it thinks it can retain viewers this way | May 03 17:54 |
| schestowitz-TR | but video hosting is very complex and expensive | May 03 17:54 |
| schestowitz-TR | so maybe the idea was, weed out the competition | May 03 17:54 |
| schestowitz-TR | thewn start closing | May 03 17:54 |
| schestowitz-TR | and put ads everywhere, use dmca etc. (lawyering up) alternative ways of "accessing" | May 03 17:54 |
| schestowitz-TR | the "content" | May 03 17:54 |
| schestowitz-TR | a lot of "smart" TVs or "screens" have bloted in ads, locked down stuff (not even able | May 03 17:54 |
| schestowitz-TR | to bypass expired root cert for web browsing) and Gulag Tube is part of the "expoerience" there | May 03 17:54 |
| schestowitz-TR | so the idea is, you will have no choice | May 03 17:54 |
| schestowitz-TR | like having to "buy" Windows with any new PC | May 03 17:54 |
| Techrights-sec | still exposure to their spin though | May 03 17:56 |

| Techrights-sec | especially off the shelf models | May 03 17:56 |
| schestowitz-TR | that changed in the past decade because of GA, not the M. | May 03 17:56 |
| schestowitz-TR | though those can be no better for freedom, they are just branded differently. | May 03 17:56 |
| schestowitz-TR | 'Linux' Foundation sees nothing wrong, in fact it became part of this | May 03 17:56 |
| schestowitz-TR | problem. | May 03 17:56 |
| schestowitz-TR | [17:59] <techrights-news> The gov. seems to be blocking sales of oil. Shortages foreseen. What a wonderful world, eh? | May 03 18:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | COOKIGN oil | May 03 18:03 |
| schestowitz-TR | Rianne says they don'd display it | May 03 18:03 |
| schestowitz-TR | and media keeps quiet to avoid the panic buyinh | May 03 18:03 |
| Techrights-sec | ack | May 03 18:04 |
| Techrights-sec | it is long past time to leave petrochemical fuels in the dung heap of history | May 03 18:04 |
| Techrights-sec | The new computer have no Windows stickers on them if that's what you mean | May 03 18:04 |
| Techrights-sec | and the sales displays usually do not mention either Windows or M$ | May 03 18:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | rianne is now taking stock of how many cooking oils we have | May 03 18:06 |
| schestowitz-TR | you need to make a special request at the shop to buy those | May 03 18:06 |
| schestowitz-TR | "open secret, I guess | May 03 18:06 |
| Techrights-sec | yes there is alreay a cooking oil shortage, it will worsen serverely and soon | May 03 18:06 |
| Techrights-sec | and probably last a long while | May 03 18:06 |
| schestowitz-TR | time to rethink what we cook, how, when.. | May 03 18:07 |
| schestowitz-TR | the price are also getting quite high, according to her | May 03 18:07 |
| schestowitz-TR | this will harm poor people | May 03 18:07 |
| schestowitz-TR | you ned oil for soups, rice etc. | May 03 18:07 |
| Techrights-sec | not necessarily, it depends on the method | May 03 18:08 |
| schestowitz-TR | right, but the recipes changee a bit | May 03 18:08 |
| Techrights-sec | I've not seen such recipes though I can imagine that they are around | May 03 18:08 |
| schestowitz-TR | got all set up now with the coffee kits, matching sets | May 03 18:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | 1.69 pounds for 227grams, good quality mix, I think (will taste later) | May 03 18:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | lots of perople struggling | May 03 18:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | this has become "the new normal" | May 03 18:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | but you would not know this based on Dick Brandon and Dickie gates' BBC | May 03 18:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | they have sections for "lifestyle" IIRC | May 03 18:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | just sticking it in to the "working class" (i.e. people who do ALL the actual work) | May 03 18:25 |
| *DaemonFC (~daemonfc@ikj3egbzt55vk.irc) has joined #boycottnovell | May 03 18:33 | |
| schestowitz-TR | The body does not match the headline https://fsfe.org/news/2022/news-20220503-01.en.html | May 03 18:42 |
| schestowitz-TR | Gulag Deutschland (FSFE) tries to spin this as its OWN success story | May 03 18:42 |
| schestowitz-TR | it's about HEY HI and the EU | May 03 18:42 |
| -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-fsfe.org | European Parliament votes for Free Software in AI resolution – This position must now be included in the AI regulation - FSFE | May 03 18:42 | |
| schestowitz-TR | I am sure they did not say "free software" | May 03 18:42 |
| schestowitz-TR | and the first sentence suggests something not the same as the headline | May 03 18:42 |
| schestowitz-TR | but I am guessing they appeal for donation | May 03 18:42 |
| Techrights-sec | ack | May 03 18:49 |
| Techrights-sec | The name problem with it calling itself FSFE has not been resolved yet. | May 03 18:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | 1) they do not wish for people to know | May 03 18:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | 2) or to find out | May 03 18:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | 3) they cannot censor TR | May 03 18:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | 4) so they have taken aim at things I wrote like a year earlier in Twitter | May 03 18:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | 5) they leverages nazi-related laws in Germany | May 03 18:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | 6) they managed to hide only one tweet, and only in Germany | May 03 18:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | 7) they do promote freedom; that was one of several forces that had me thinking of stopping | May 03 18:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | to bother with such time-wasting and emotion-draining proprietary platforms | May 03 18:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | 8) later came ICBM with the same tactyics (I assume it was IBM, fronting with genderphobes) | May 03 18:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | 9) then OSI, which afaik put me on last strike (week-long suspension, no ability to get my | May 03 18:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | appeal processed at all) | May 03 18:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | FSF thought it would be in a position of advantage by attacking the real (original) FSFE | May 03 18:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | but it does not seem to have gained popularity this way | May 03 18:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | worse yet, they have alienated many (like me) who were sympathetic towards both FSFE *AND* | May 03 18:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | FSF at the same time | May 03 18:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | oops, I reversed FSFE and FSF up above, FSFE was attacking FSF, the opposite never happened | May 03 18:51 |
| schestowitz-TR | FSF had more class | May 03 18:51 |
| schestowitz-TR | BTW, Phoronix today also struggles to write | May 03 18:51 |
| schestowitz-TR | a bunch of photos attacked to some git change logs with dross to dress it up | May 03 18:51 |
| schestowitz-TR | and AMD job ad as ARTICLE! | May 03 18:51 |
| Techrights-sec | yes FSFE was and kind of still is a problem | May 03 18:51 |
| schestowitz-TR | it barely blogs anymore | May 03 18:53 |
| schestowitz-TR | I think it is becoming less relevant | May 03 18:53 |
| schestowitz-TR | it latches onto news that have nothing to do with its campaign | May 03 18:53 |
| schestowitz-TR | I think they try to ensor me because I drove a wedge between them and Gulag teats | May 03 18:53 |
| Techrights-sec | Michael lost a lot of people when he made those 'changes' | May 03 18:53 |
| schestowitz-TR | I can only judge/estimate/assess by # of comments, which isn't sa reliable measure | May 03 18:54 |
| schestowitz-TR | as if can be a closely-knit community like us in IRC | May 03 18:54 |
| schestowitz-TR | but not many unique readers. Plus, many readers never comment. | May 03 18:54 |
| Techrights-sec | ack | May 03 18:59 |
| schestowitz-TR | I fumble for story ideas | May 03 19:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | I'm lost | May 03 19:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | irc is very busy at the moment | May 03 19:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | busier but of better substance or s/n than social control media, just presented differently | May 03 19:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | last thing I want to do is publish mindless dross or page fillers | May 03 19:01 |
| Techrights-sec | DRM is unfortunately a perrenial topic | May 03 19:04 |
| Techrights-sec | that's a rcent example but care has to be taken so that JD cannot spin this as | May 03 19:04 |
| Techrights-sec | a good thing; two wrongs don't make a right | May 03 19:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | I could comment on the ukraine john deere story, I suppose | May 03 19:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | easier in video | May 03 19:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | like "chomsky <3 trumputin" | May 03 19:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | yes, it's a difficult one, like free sofwtare and sanction | May 03 19:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | you either support putin or support the opposition to sofwtare freedom | May 03 19:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | hackaday went with a headline suggesting this was a Good THing | May 03 19:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | I found that disappointing, but didn't read the whole thing | May 03 19:05 |

| Techrights-sec | CNN seems to have the first coverage of the JD drm incidents | May 03 19:08 |
| Techrights-sec | the take away is that drm is no longer a theoretical threat it is now a matter | May 03 19:08 |
| Techrights-sec | of who is the target, and there can be multiple targets | May 03 19:08 |

| schestowitz-TR | drm wrong | May 03 19:11 |
| schestowitz-TR | wrong + wrong = wropng | May 03 19:11 |
| schestowitz-TR | wrong x wrong = good | May 03 19:11 |
| schestowitz-TR | only minutes ago admfubar (I know the real name) posted the cnn link in the main channel | May 03 19:11 |
| schestowitz-TR | I saw the SN coverage | May 03 19:11 |
| Techrights-sec | The CNN link is in the daily links either today or tomorow ... checking | May 03 19:13 |
| Techrights-sec | today's | May 03 19:13 |
| schestowitz-TR | I alreeady posted that in the latest daily links, along with hackaday | May 03 19:13 |
| schestowitz-TR | I've not sseen an article debunking this | May 03 19:13 |
| schestowitz-TR | if one existed, then it's "chomksy loves vladimir" time | May 03 19:13 |
| schestowitz-TR | I am thinking hard how it can be preseted, e.g. in video, without it seeming lame | May 03 19:16 |
| schestowitz-TR | or apologists for theft and for vicious 'Red Army' | May 03 19:16 |
| schestowitz-TR | it boils down not to DRM but the | May 03 19:16 |
| schestowitz-TR | logical fallacies in the media | May 03 19:16 |
| schestowitz-TR | and then having to explain what's at stake with drm in general | May 03 19:16 |
| Techrights-sec | yes that sums it up | May 03 19:19 |
| schestowitz-TR | cost of today's sinner: about 5 pennies | May 03 19:29 |
| schestowitz-TR | *dinneer | May 03 19:29 |
| schestowitz-TR | I think less than the spoonfull of roast and soy drink inside it | May 03 19:29 |
| schestowitz-TR | now I'll think if there's enough material for recording | May 03 19:29 |
| schestowitz-TR | the text will be more important | May 03 19:29 |
| Techrights-sec | oh buying food not indulgences ;) | May 03 19:29 |
| schestowitz-TR | indulgences nowadays do not necessatily mean healthy diet | May 03 19:31 |
| schestowitz-TR | more processed food ingredients | May 03 19:31 |
| schestowitz-TR | class consciousness always plays a role | May 03 19:31 |
| schestowitz-TR | like "air miles" vanity | May 03 19:31 |
| schestowitz-TR | the more you spend, the more you will need to work, i.e. do things | May 03 19:31 |
| schestowitz-TR | you may not enjoy | May 03 19:31 |
| schestowitz-TR | so it's a tradeoff between indulgences | May 03 19:31 |

| schestowitz-TR | it's mostly BS talk | May 03 22:48 |
| schestowitz-TR | which reaffirmed what we thought about the company going down the bin | May 03 22:48 |
| schestowitz-TR | while pretending to be "OK" | May 03 22:48 |
| schestowitz-TR | I may need advice on how to exit without losing the rights to compensatiom | May 03 22:48 |
| schestowitz-TR | one scenario that I have in mind is | May 03 22:48 |
| schestowitz-TR | they declare the outfit in the UK 'insoilvent' | May 03 22:48 |
| schestowitz-TR | and then claim the other one is "USA" | May 03 22:48 |
| schestowitz-TR | and therefore it's hard to take it to court here | May 03 22:48 |
| schestowitz-TR | but maybe I'm thinking too far ahead | May 03 22:48 |
| schestowitz-TR | to be clear, our intent to leave did not foresee this at all | May 03 22:48 |
| schestowitz-TR | but was motivated purely by a dire stench | May 03 22:48 |
| schestowitz-TR | in some sense this is good news as it opens up the potential for compensation | May 03 22:48 |
