| schestowitz | comparing gemini://gemini.techrights.org/tester.gmi to gemini://gemini.techrights.org/tester.txt in amfora and lagrange, it seems clear that page is rendered based on the file extension, either before agate instructs so or because the clients/browsers detect it so | Dec 06 12:23 |
| schestowitz-TR | amfora has a weird timeout behaviour; if the page is long and it does not complete transmission in about 5 seconds, then it suggests downloading. I think that the issue isn't the server being too slow (it is slower now) but the assumptions made by the client. | Dec 06 12:27 |
| Techrights-sec | That sounds about right. I see that behavior. I suppose a bug report is in | Dec 06 12:28 |

| Techrights-sec | agenda. | Dec 06 19:51 |
| schestowitz-TR | You beat me to it re Tim Crook and Windows, I was going to correct what you said | Dec 06 19:51 |
| Techrights-sec | The audience that spamnil might appeal to is interested only in money | Dec 06 19:51 |
| Techrights-sec | and that is their only metric for /anything/ in life. | Dec 06 19:51 |
| Techrights-sec | and for those types the greater the monetary expense, the higher they prize it; | Dec 06 19:53 |
| Techrights-sec | so they worship inefficiency | Dec 06 19:53 |
| schestowitz-TR | yo dawg, I hear you use Windiws, so I welcome you to Linux Foundation | Dec 06 19:56 |
| schestowitz-TR | I posted Daily Links, hence, slow to reply, will clean remaining RSS feeds now, leaving all patent "news" until weekends as it pains my eyes to see some much drivel and spam there.. there used to be ACTUAL reporting in that domain | Dec 06 19:57 |
| Techrights-sec | :/ probably true | Dec 06 19:58 |
| Techrights-sec | news has slowed down /again/ in general. there is almost nothing left soon | Dec 06 19:58 |
| Techrights-sec | most material now seems to come from blogs | Dec 06 19:58 |
| schestowitz-TR | they do not make up for what was lost and still, in searches, the webspam dominates. things like spamnil and press release, clogging up the spamfarm www became | Dec 06 19:59 |
| schestowitz-TR | what pains my eyes and mind even more than spam is the misinformation, deliverable lies (disinformation), which replace reporting | Dec 06 20:02 |
| Techrights-sec | yes. the one maneuver that is puzzling is the proliferation of far right | Dec 06 20:04 |
| Techrights-sec | fake local news sites picking FOSS topics and especially GNU/Linux topics | Dec 06 20:04 |
| Techrights-sec | Since those appear to be run top-down, centrally I wonder what's up with that | Dec 06 20:04 |
| Techrights-sec | yes that has been going on for years now and was really bad in the last 10, | Dec 06 20:04 |
| Techrights-sec | they just parrot stuff uncritically as if that is reporting | Dec 06 20:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | it is a lot "cheaper" | Dec 06 20:04 |
| Techrights-sec | If someone says its raining and another person says its dry, its not your job to quote them both. Its your | Dec 06 20:05 |
| Techrights-sec | job to look out the window and find out which is true.""" | Dec 06 20:05 |
| Techrights-sec | ^quote | Dec 06 20:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | yes, I put that quote in TR several times, even as an image ;-) | Dec 06 20:05 |
| Techrights-sec | from unknown source | Dec 06 20:05 |
| Techrights-sec | :) | Dec 06 20:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | names that vanished (rianne and I floated some an hour ago) gary newell, matt hartly , katherine noyes (remember?), maybe more that are hard to remember anymore. I think lack of traffic killed their morale and they called it quits, or a lack of salary | Dec 06 20:07 |
| Techrights-sec | yes there were others too | Dec 06 20:08 |
| schestowitz-TR | better to quit than to become a presstitude, which means disgracing oneself for a few more salaries and then be remembered as a turncoat | Dec 06 20:09 |
| Techrights-sec | yes there were others too; ZDNet, Wired, BYTE, Dr Dobb's, and the others | Dec 06 20:10 |
| Techrights-sec | all were pro FOSS and had specialized columns and sections on GNU/Linux | Dec 06 20:10 |

| schestowitz-TR | and then the few that can still be good | Dec 06 20:10 |
| schestowitz-TR | that saves time | Dec 06 20:10 |
| Techrights-sec | going through it all is quite a slog; very slow and difficult; | Dec 06 20:12 |
| Techrights-sec | It's almost impossible to find something good on purpose. | Dec 06 20:12 |
| schestowitz-TR | devop cloud... SAP... alliance, AI/ML something blah blah | Dec 06 20:12 |
| schestowitz-TR | can;'yt stand it | Dec 06 20:12 |
| schestowitz-TR | basically, the issue is that people who can write better articles sare not writing | Dec 06 20:13 |
| schestowitz-TR | they are coding | Dec 06 20:13 |
| schestowitz-TR | this leavs a group of nontechs like spamnil to name-drop buzzwords | Dec 06 20:13 |
