[08:22] schestowitz-TR 10 mins ago it stopped responding [08:22] schestowitz-TR false alarm [08:22] schestowitz-TR my bad [08:22] schestowitz-TR what timed out was the cron job that helps me track local weather [08:22] schestowitz-TR sorry for the false alarm [08:23] techrightssec2 Not that I know of. [08:23] techrightssec2 Checking. [08:23] techrightssec2 The daemon has been running for over a day: [08:23] techrightssec2 ps -o user,pid,etime,args | grep 2821 | grep gemini [08:23] techrightssec2 gemini 2821 1d06 /usr/bin/gmnisrv -C /etc/gmnisrv.ini [08:26] techrightssec2 No problem [08:29] schestowitz-TR i think my replies therein were polite enough and hard to take out of context [08:29] schestowitz-TR btw, mumble is awesome, we use it heavily [08:29] schestowitz-TR many client downloads too [08:29] schestowitz-TR objective: instead of x companies (prism, russia, china) having datacentres for it [08:29] schestowitz-TR people start hosting p2p and e2ee comms from their homes [08:29] schestowitz-TR isps might respond by not giving world-facing ip addresses to homes [08:31] *Techrights-sec is now known as ts2 [08:31] techrightssec2 Yes, like what happened with Usenet not so long ago. [08:32] schestowitz-TR something to watch out for [08:32] schestowitz-TR if I set up murmur again, I will record a video or something to show how it is done [08:32] schestowitz-TR so more people self-host mumble and foster solidarity for the practice [08:33] techrightssec2 Probably no need to set it up again but it would be important to back up [08:33] techrightssec2 the certificates used by the daemon. [08:33] techrightssec2 It's darn easy to self-host Mumble and when combined with even a dynamic DNS [08:33] techrightssec2 entry and port forwarding from the router, anyone can do it. [08:33] schestowitz-TR for now [08:36] schestowitz-TR with usenet you assumed all major isps would offer access [08:36] schestowitz-TR when they did not, people stopped coming [08:36] schestowitz-TR and groups perished [08:36] schestowitz-TR never mind google's rogue role [08:36] schestowitz-TR with mumble, apple and gulag might say mumble promotes bad language [08:36] schestowitz-TR or does not comply with cocism like censorship [08:36] schestowitz-TR and thus the "apps" for mumble must be removed [08:36] schestowitz-TR like they did "rioit" before it was renamed "element" [08:36] schestowitz-TR just to waste their time [08:36] schestowitz-TR as if the name was the problem [08:36] schestowitz-TR while they promote in the front page "apps" of companies that commit actaual war crimes [08:37] techrightssec2 Yes, for now. TPM and Restricted Boot and related problems are part of the [08:37] techrightssec2 lockdown move to eliminate general-purpose computing and replace it with [08:37] techrightssec2 corporately controlled appliances a la "smart" phones [08:37] techrightssec2 Yep [08:37] techrightssec2 Time-wasting is a core function and goal of such "apps" [08:39] schestowitz-TR 1) i meant asking for the apps to be merely renamed -= timeasting [08:39] schestowitz-TR 2) in india, lots of whats app censorship - they ALREADY cemsor messaging apps, not just social control media [08:39] schestowitz-TR 3) iirc, both gulag and rotten apple censored parler [08:39] schestowitz-TR but not fb and twitter [08:39] schestowitz-TR so you can envision what they can say about mumla or similar mumble things [08:39] schestowitz-TR even just to make it more "niche" [08:39] schestowitz-TR skype = wiretapping and following links in 'private' messages [08:43] techrightssec2 It is important to remember that one of the very first things m$ did when [08:44] techrightssec2 acquiring skype was to centralize it. [08:45] schestowitz-TR AND added to NSA PRISM! [08:45] schestowitz-TR it's cheaper NOT to centralise it [08:45] schestowitz-TR so I guess the business model is, [08:45] schestowitz-TR suck up to DoD [08:45] schestowitz-TR "we'll thank you later" :) [08:45] schestowitz-TR skype used to be european [08:56] techrightssec2 M$ Outlook also follows links in messages, if the messages don't get lost [08:56] techrightssec2 first. [08:56] techrightssec2 Yes, and during that time it was not just distributed but also usable and with [08:56] techrightssec2 passable sound quality, unlike now post-purchase. [08:56] techrightssec2 By the way, SIP also seems to have reduced sound quality these days or at [08:56] techrightssec2 least it seems that way in the remaining SIP clients. [08:56] techrightssec2 It may be that they choose garbage codecs, but some have suggested that the [08:56] techrightssec2 ISPs (which are often phone companies or otherwise connected to phone companies) [08:56] techrightssec2 choose to drop a lot of the UDP packets. [08:56] techrightssec2 s/drop/drop or delay/ [08:59] schestowitz-TR - [08:59] schestowitz-TR yes, ipfs is a bit like that [08:59] schestowitz-TR it seems safe to keep running [08:59] schestowitz-TR we don't fetch or repost anything, so we cannot possible host anything illegal [08:59] schestowitz-TR unless it is our own [08:59] schestowitz-TR *possibly host ● Dec 06 [09:02] techrightssec2 ack [09:30] schestowitz-TR old: Corrupt Mr. breton promoting ILLEGAL system, boosted by BILL GATES-bribed 'media' https://www.euractiv.com/section/digital/news/breton-renews-calls-for-a-single-european-patent-system/ [09:30] -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-Breton renews calls for a single European patent system EURACTIV.com [09:34] techrightssec2 yes [09:54] techrightssec2 ack ● Dec 06 [10:19] techrightssec2 Will look at wget and the gallery later today to test a few things [10:19] techrightssec2 https://thehill.com/policy/technology/3762836-big-tech-and-its-critics-lash-out-at-journalism-measure/ [10:19] techrightssec2 ^ topic ?
