| schestowitz-TR | social control media can be very addictive in some sense | May 07 05:47 |
| schestowitz-TR | I noticed this well before "FOMO" was a thing | May 07 05:47 |
| schestowitz-TR | back around 2009 and 2010, with identica, I would meticulously go through every "DENT" | May 07 05:47 |
| schestowitz-TR | that made it through (by bot) into our IRC channel | May 07 05:47 |
| schestowitz-TR | every single one of them | May 07 05:47 |
| schestowitz-TR | using the IRC logs | May 07 05:47 |
| schestowitz-TR | I'd then follow the link and get it "done" | May 07 05:47 |
| schestowitz-TR | it became my toldo list | May 07 05:47 |
| schestowitz-TR | based on who I followed, e.g. Glyn Moody | May 07 05:47 |
| schestowitz-TR | Years later I stopped doing it | May 07 05:47 |
| schestowitz-TR | That was very time-consuming | May 07 05:47 |
| schestowitz-TR | That was identica and the results were linear, neutral | May 07 05:47 |
| schestowitz-TR | the s/n ratio was nopt too bad | May 07 05:47 |
| schestowitz-TR | of course all those dents have been lost forever since 2013, except maybe | May 07 05:47 |
| schestowitz-TR | our IRC archive of the odd IA copy (I don't suppose they retain like a million dents) | May 07 05:47 |
| Techrights-sec | Glyn should has a feed. I'd go out of my way to read the articles | May 07 05:51 |
| Techrights-sec | he writes, even if I would not otherwise visit some of the sites | May 07 05:51 |
| Techrights-sec | ^s/has/have/ | May 07 05:51 |
| Techrights-sec | yes the effort that people put into social control media is largely a waste | May 07 05:51 |
| Techrights-sec | Independent, threaded discussion forums like SN are another matter. | May 07 05:52 |
| Techrights-sec | They can be of use. Reddit and HN are not among them. Those are shill | May 07 05:52 |
| Techrights-sec | sites and Reddit is as least as bad as Twitter, perhaps worse | May 07 05:52 |
| Techrights-sec | I generally go out of my way to avoid following a link if I see that it | May 07 05:52 |

| schestowitz-TR | coming soon: Bill gates Ask Me ANything PREFILTERED, about how people yell at me in the streets -- people who | May 07 05:54 |
| schestowitz-TR | are conspiracy cranks and wannabe murderers... and how I'm really sorry about meeting a person who | May 07 05:54 |
| schestowitz-TR | gives access to little girls... not everyone who does this can just "apologise" his way out | May 07 05:54 |
| Techrights-sec | yep they prefilter it so he gets only softball questions | May 07 05:56 |
| Techrights-sec | I suppose they are overdue for another such session of reputation laundering | May 07 05:56 |
| schestowitz-TR | remember they ewmployed Microsoft Peter for a decade | May 07 05:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | they develop a reputation and names for them | May 07 05:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | that will chase them for years | May 07 05:57 |
| Techrights-sec | yep | May 07 05:59 |
| Techrights-sec | though they do what they can to brush that under the rug | May 07 06:00 |
| Techrights-sec | not just were but still are doing that | May 07 06:01 |
| *DaemonFC has quit (Quit: Leaving) | May 07 06:51 | |
| schestowitz-TR | Conde Nast (of Reddit etc.): we not only employ pedophiles who shill for Microsoft (and get arrested for raping ki | May 07 07:08 |
| schestowitz-TR | ds), for a whole decade. We also do white-washing for billionaires who are Jeffrey Epstein enablers. I suppose Redd | May 07 07:08 |

| schestowitz-TR | at your end | May 07 07:32 |

| schestowitz-TR | (I add those at my end before posting Daily Links) | May 07 07:32 |
| schestowitz-TR | I've nopticed 2 issues | May 07 07:39 |

| schestowitz-TR | (I add those at my end before posting Daily Links) | May 07 07:39 |
| schestowitz-TR | re (1), I added a pull before the usual command, then pushed the changes | May 07 07:39 |
| schestowitz-TR | [07:36] <techrights-news> Based on Statcounter, Edge market share fell every month this year. Microsoft Edge, Jan to May: 4.12, 4.06, 4.05, 4.05, and 4.04% | May 07 07:39 |
| Techrights-sec | the addition of tags is accidental, as mentioned I am a novice with Git | May 07 07:41 |
| Techrights-sec | and only just starting with it | May 07 07:41 |
| Techrights-sec | the 'git commit; git push' are the two basic commands and if there | May 07 07:41 |
| Techrights-sec | are tags added, it is git itself | May 07 07:41 |
| Techrights-sec | git is really good and from what I read has the functionality that | May 07 07:41 |
| Techrights-sec | is actually needed but the workflow / UI is terrible | May 07 07:41 |
| schestowitz-TR | same here, though I was good at cvs and svn | May 07 07:42 |
| schestowitz-TR | these things are like waves that com and go | May 07 07:42 |
| schestowitz-TR | something will replace git | May 07 07:42 |
| schestowitz-TR | wedon't know what yet | May 07 07:42 |
| schestowitz-TR | (it won't be github, gh is waning slowly) | May 07 07:42 |
| schestowitz-TR | No, I meant you added http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search?go=Go&search=[tag] at your end in combined html file | May 07 07:42 |
| -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-en.wikipedia.org | [tag - Search results - Wikipedia | May 07 07:42 | |
| schestowitz-TR | those tags should not be added until the end, from my end | May 07 07:42 |
| Techrights-sec | checking... | May 07 07:42 |
| Techrights-sec | I see. | May 07 07:42 |
| schestowitz-TR | B0ng [sic] and Edge are so insignificant that any mere mention of themn, IMHO, would be | May 07 07:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | 'advertising'... I checked the share because some stupid site did a howo on how to | May 07 07:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | install it in "Linux"... I've not seen such misguided howtos in a while | May 07 07:44 |
| Techrights-sec | yes they should not be advertised | May 07 07:44 |

| Techrights-sec | I wonder how unsustaibable the business model of youtube is, | May 07 08:47 |
| Techrights-sec | bandwidth costs always and so does storage and while the bandwidth will | May 07 08:47 |
| Techrights-sec | presumably fluctuate in proportion to the ads shown the storage cossts | May 07 08:47 |
| Techrights-sec | only rise | May 07 08:47 |
| schestowitz-TR | good topic | May 07 08:52 |
| schestowitz-TR | I have wondered about it since 2006 | May 07 08:52 |
| schestowitz-TR | let's break it down | May 07 08:52 |
| schestowitz-TR | expenses: | May 07 08:52 |
| schestowitz-TR | 1) staff | May 07 08:52 |
| schestowitz-TR | 2) equipment in DC | May 07 08:52 |
| schestowitz-TR | 3) network (upstream+more hardware) | May 07 08:52 |
| schestowitz-TR | 4) replication, see (2) and more of (1) | May 07 08:52 |
| schestowitz-TR | 5) moderation and enforcement, see (1) | May 07 08:52 |
| schestowitz-TR | sources of income | May 07 08:52 |
| schestowitz-TR | 1) ads | May 07 08:52 |
| schestowitz-TR | and I think that's it? | May 07 08:52 |
| schestowitz-TR | (mind you, over time storage costs go down, but electricity is getting more expensive | May 07 08:52 |
| schestowitz-TR | and over time gulag needs to store more and more data. If traffic decreasesd, the cost/benefit | May 07 08:52 |
| schestowitz-TR | equation changes as the ad revenue does not keep up with operation costs) | May 07 08:52 |
| schestowitz-TR | I forgot to mention among expenses the payouts (before!) to so-called 'creators' | May 07 08:52 |
| schestowitz-TR | When Ton from Blender rejected GitHub he said it had been ioperating at a loss | May 07 08:52 |
| schestowitz-TR | and riving VCs' money, hence he knew they would turn the tables one day | May 07 08:52 |
| schestowitz-TR | same for me with gulagtube | May 07 08:52 |
| schestowitz-TR | for techbytes we always self-hosted, gulag has a few copies, but that was all | May 07 08:52 |
| schestowitz-TR | gulagtube and gulagdrive are just more "professional" faces on Mega/MegaUpload | May 07 08:52 |
| Techrights-sec | I wonder how unsustaibable the business model of youtube is, | May 07 08:54 |
| Techrights-sec | bandwidth costs always and so does storage and while the bandwidth will | May 07 08:54 |
| Techrights-sec | presumably fluctuate in proportion to the ads shown the storage cossts | May 07 08:54 |
| Techrights-sec | only rise | May 07 08:54 |
| Techrights-sec | afaik | May 07 08:54 |
| Techrights-sec | ah there is also a "premium" for 7 USD / month | May 07 08:54 |
| schestowitz-TR | did you not send me a URL about gulagtube shutting down some "premium" thing (not Red)? | May 07 08:54 |
| schestowitz-TR | Or was it for Twitter or similar (like blue and that new openwash thing, pretending it's not centralised)? | May 07 08:54 |
| Techrights-sec | May 07 08:56 | |
| Techrights-sec | nut no clue if anyone anywhere has ever signed up for that | May 07 08:56 |
| Techrights-sec | yes but those payouts are probably small when considered in context | May 07 08:56 |
| Techrights-sec | "YouTube also earns revenue from Channel Memberships, YouTube TV, Super Chats, Super Stickers, Super Thanks & Merch | May 07 08:56 |
| Techrights-sec | andise. " | May 07 08:56 |

| -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-whatisthebusinessmodelof.com | YouTube Business Model: How YouTube Makes Money | May 07 08:56 | |
| Techrights-sec | But that can't account for much | May 07 08:56 |
| Techrights-sec | there are probably also kickbacks or whatever for surveillance but not | May 07 08:56 |
| Techrights-sec | mentioned explicitly | May 07 08:56 |
| Techrights-sec | I still can't figure out how Mega differed from the other services | May 07 08:56 |
| Techrights-sec | aside from not being fully onboard with surveillance (probably) | May 07 08:56 |
| schestowitz-TR | they say mega was not serious about enforcement or moderation re copyrights | May 07 08:59 |
| schestowitz-TR | or turned a blind eye | May 07 08:59 |
| schestowitz-TR | megaupload more so | May 07 08:59 |
| schestowitz-TR | which sounds plausible, but the task does not scale well | May 07 08:59 |
| schestowitz-TR | and I don't see evidence of Box or Gulag doing any better in tharhat regardl | May 07 08:59 |
| schestowitz-TR | when you are small it\'s common to claim you are infested with "nazis" (parler) | May 07 08:59 |
| schestowitz-TR | or "piracy" (MegaUpload) | May 07 08:59 |
| schestowitz-TR | though figures are hard to verify with | May 07 08:59 |
| Techrights-sec | yet youtube was allowed to grow; I wonder the relative size of youtube | May 07 08:59 |
| Techrights-sec | at the time it was bought by Google compared to Mega | May 07 08:59 |
| schestowitz-TR | Mega or MegaUpload? Mind you, the latter is dead and the former rather dodgy | May 07 09:00 |
| schestowitz-TR | they also eliminated many "unused" accounts to lower operational costs | May 07 09:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | 10 years ago rianne and I uploaded backups of photos to mega | May 07 09:01 |
| Techrights-sec | yes I sometimes wonder why youtube does not purge content to save space | May 07 09:02 |

| schestowitz-TR | actually, I might end up ina rabbithole, checking a week's worth of Daily Links | May 07 09:18 |
| schestowitz-TR | the point being, never mind what exactly it was (maybe I didn't even get that from "merged"), | May 07 09:18 |
| schestowitz-TR | all those upselling programmes are failing | May 07 09:18 |
| schestowitz-TR | Bryant when he was still "The Linux Gamer" made fun of Twitter Blue | May 07 09:18 |
| schestowitz-TR | or maybe it was someone else | May 07 09:18 |
| schestowitz-TR | there is usually no value to these things other than perceived prestiage | May 07 09:18 |
| schestowitz-TR | like the blue "Mussk-Certified" tick | May 07 09:18 |
| schestowitz-TR | the very fact those programmes keep coming back show that the biz model is not workng | May 07 09:18 |
| schestowitz-TR | when twitter OMENTARILY made profits it was the time it was clobbering away at the userbase | May 07 09:18 |
| schestowitz-TR | doing things that royally pissed off their users | May 07 09:18 |
| schestowitz-TR | like killing their "apps" of choice | May 07 09:18 |
| schestowitz-TR | and then the traffic was never the same anymore | May 07 09:18 |
| schestowitz-TR | and even with ads evewrywhere Twitter ended up swinging back into losses | May 07 09:18 |
| schestowitz-TR | the "peak profit" era was the "period of transition by CASHING IN on what's left" | May 07 09:18 |
| schestowitz-TR | (which I am happy about BTW; they can shoot their own feet, riding people's pension | May 07 09:18 |
| schestowitz-TR | funds via Wall Street bubbles and spculative high-interest "schemes") | May 07 09:18 |
| schestowitz-TR | the new Twitter owner has another momentary business model, like scamcoin and other | May 07 09:18 |
| schestowitz-TR | schemes | May 07 09:18 |
| schestowitz-TR | now it's the 'honeymoon period', he hasn't turned his knobs yet, | May 07 09:18 |
| schestowitz-TR | but clues show that "free speech" means "some accounts are no longer gratis" | May 07 09:18 |
| schestowitz-TR | won't be freee OR free.... | May 07 09:18 |
| schestowitz-TR | but he'll get a ton of attgention (brand) each time he moves the knobs | May 07 09:18 |
| Techrights-sec | ack | May 07 09:19 |
| Techrights-sec | I'm not so sure the business model is for twitter as much as it involves | May 07 09:19 |
| Techrights-sec | May 07 09:19 | |
| Techrights-sec | yes, knobs will be turned after the 6-month grace period passes | May 07 09:19 |
| Techrights-sec | the attention is part of the business model but it won't necessarily | May 07 09:19 |
| Techrights-sec | bring in money to twitter itself, just to musk | May 07 09:19 |
| schestowitz-TR | likme omidyar with his pet "media" projects | May 07 09:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | rappler, the intercept etc. | May 07 09:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | he gains personally, but not from the sites | May 07 09:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | BTW, he did shut down the snowden leaks investigation team not too long after | May 07 09:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | 'buying' it | May 07 09:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | and greenwald ended up ... up in arms | May 07 09:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | I rarely see that site anymore, but I'm sure it's still active | May 07 09:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | it even employed a fraud arrested for plotting terrorism... as a writer | May 07 09:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | I forgot his name | May 07 09:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | burning sources did not help omidyar's name, either | May 07 09:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | not one but several, and mostly due to severe cases of incompoetence | May 07 09:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | among his staff | May 07 09:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | I wonder if Lee (Micah) still works there, I very much doubt it | May 07 09:22 |
| Techrights-sec | greenwald appears as a say-for-pay crank who accidentally rose to fame | May 07 09:23 |
| Techrights-sec | because snowden accidentally picked him as a news contact; midyar shut down | May 07 09:23 |
| Techrights-sec | the snowden archive and basically vanished the topicfrom the mainstream | May 07 09:23 |
| Techrights-sec | even scheier has not only shut up but also began to toe the line | May 07 09:23 |
| Techrights-sec | burning sources IMHO was one of his goals | May 07 09:23 |
| Techrights-sec | to sow fear and distrust among potential whistleblowers | May 07 09:23 |
| Techrights-sec | note how none have really surfaced since reality winner was | May 07 09:23 |
| Techrights-sec | railroaded | May 07 09:23 |
| schestowitz-TR | true, I never thought of that as a theory, but there was one firm | May 07 09:26 |
| schestowitz-TR | advertising itself to whistleblower with expensive | May 07 09:26 |
| schestowitz-TR | ads in large media | May 07 09:26 |
| schestowitz-TR | and later it turned out, in court docs, that it had been an fbi informane | May 07 09:26 |
| schestowitz-TR | Mark Said et al IIRC | May 07 09:26 |
| schestowitz-TR | I used to fight with them, back when Wikileaks was still in good shape | May 07 09:26 |
| schestowitz-TR | and jess Raddack along with Thomas Drake wwere prominent in Twitter | May 07 09:26 |
| schestowitz-TR | Twitter became a divisive polatrity machine after that | May 07 09:26 |
| Techrights-sec | ack | May 07 09:27 |
| Techrights-sec | yes though with social control media the polarization is in part one means | May 07 09:27 |
| Techrights-sec | to drive "engagement" | May 07 09:27 |
| schestowitz-TR | as a side perk, it helps divert attention away from important nonpartisan stuff | May 07 09:28 |
| schestowitz-TR | such as wikileaks | May 07 09:28 |
| schestowitz-TR | twitter did its best to polarise these things | May 07 09:28 |
| Techrights-sec | yes | May 07 09:28 |
| schestowitz-TR | if not wings then "Russia" and other red herrings | May 07 09:28 |
| schestowitz-TR | hang in there a few more years when lots more of the media and "social" media has given up | May 07 09:36 |
| schestowitz-TR | I wonder what this will mean to www and whether things like gemini can maintain the same growth | May 07 09:36 |
| schestowitz-TR | but people will still be talking and reading (maybe emojis), so hard to tell... as more regimes | May 07 09:36 |
| schestowitz-TR | go to war and struggle to borrow more capital | May 07 09:36 |
| schestowitz-TR | my guess is, rather than try to control the media directly there will be more oppression | May 07 09:36 |
| schestowitz-TR | like outright shutting sites down or censoring them en masse | May 07 09:36 |
| schestowitz-TR | CA system is a hopping point towards mass censorship | May 07 09:36 |
| schestowitz-TR | they can start with "nazi" and "pirate" sites "unworthy of SSL certs" in the CA "trust cartel" | May 07 09:36 |
| schestowitz-TR | then they will justify the same for lesser and lesser sites | May 07 09:36 |
| schestowitz-TR | but they are still building the fences | May 07 09:36 |
| schestowitz-TR | which each release of browsers, inc. Mozilla, the nag become worse | May 07 09:36 |
| schestowitz-TR | then they remove the bypass buttonsa | May 07 09:36 |
| schestowitz-TR | and later they can just outright block, mozilla even has an option for that now! | May 07 09:36 |
| schestowitz-TR | Bakerville. | May 07 09:36 |
| Techrights-sec | one of the changes that the social control media landscape causes is | May 07 09:36 |
| Techrights-sec | a balkanization of society such that there are no common issues to even | May 07 09:36 |
| Techrights-sec | debate; futhermore there is the degradation of knowledge and competency | May 07 09:36 |
| Techrights-sec | such that opininos are given equal valence to empirical facts and the | May 07 09:36 |
| Techrights-sec | latter are disparaged | May 07 09:36 |
| schestowitz-TR | yes, but let's keep separate this issue for the sake of compartmentaliaation | May 07 09:39 |
| schestowitz-TR | a friend of vigivegan said that sites with no membership in the SSL CA 'cartel' are the | May 07 09:39 |
| schestowitz-TR | "new dark web" | May 07 09:39 |
| schestowitz-TR | maybe that's the vision they have | May 07 09:39 |
| schestowitz-TR | no cert = "might ne nazi" | May 07 09:39 |
| schestowitz-TR | hence, block | May 07 09:39 |
| schestowitz-TR | first browser | May 07 09:39 |
| schestowitz-TR | maybe later ISP | May 07 09:39 |
| schestowitz-TR | it's like Orban with his "media or site registration" scheme | May 07 09:39 |
| schestowitz-TR | which earned him much notoriety about a decade back | May 07 09:39 |
| schestowitz-TR | MinceR: is Orban still doing this? | May 07 09:39 |
| Techrights-sec | could be. there is certainly an effort to marginalize those outside | May 07 09:39 |
| Techrights-sec | the certificate cartel. That goes *also* for various programing libraries. | May 07 09:39 |
| schestowitz-TR | we need to teach people to manage their own code | May 07 09:42 |
| schestowitz-TR | "discoverability" is massively overrated | May 07 09:42 |
| schestowitz-TR | like being "discovered" in gulagtube or Twitter | May 07 09:42 |
| schestowitz-TR | tell that to TODAY's used in both | May 07 09:42 |
| schestowitz-TR | Gulag has given up on them completely | May 07 09:42 |
| schestowitz-TR | and Twitter is not even used that much | May 07 09:42 |
| schestowitz-TR | shithub is one of many now, like skype 5-10 years after the criminals | May 07 09:42 |
| schestowitz-TR | bought the darn thing | May 07 09:42 |
| schestowitz-TR | With love from Sweden/Estonia/Lux to NSA/Microsoft... | May 07 09:42 |
| schestowitz-TR | Made in Europe, made to work for USA, Inc. | May 07 09:42 |
| Techrights-sec | it affect IoT badly too | May 07 09:42 |
| schestowitz-TR | what is iot? | May 07 09:43 |
| schestowitz-TR | what do you mean by iot? | May 07 09:43 |
| schestowitz-TR | badly -made devices with some low-quality integration thrown on top of them | May 07 09:43 |
| schestowitz-TR | using code "discovered" in Micrrosoft's NSAHub? | May 07 09:43 |
| Techrights-sec | yep | May 07 09:44 |
| Techrights-sec | more specifically it prevents or inhibits creation of reasonably secure | May 07 09:44 |
| Techrights-sec | networked embedded devices | May 07 09:44 |

| schestowitz-TR | using code "discovered" in Micrrosoft's NSAHub? | May 07 09:45 |
| schestowitz-TR | Microsoft/NSA (github CSO is from NSA) can actively promote projects with known holes in them | May 07 09:46 |
| schestowitz-TR | as long as only NSA knows of the hole | May 07 09:46 |
| schestowitz-TR | maybe even because it put them there several years back | May 07 09:46 |
| schestowitz-TR | they can poison the "supply chain" with Microsoft as the middleman | May 07 09:46 |
| Techrights-sec | "bugdoors" | May 07 09:46 |
| schestowitz-TR | but one has to be careful floating such an hypothesis withouit any concrete evidence | May 07 09:48 |
| schestowitz-TR | to avoid being labeled a crank | May 07 09:48 |
| schestowitz-TR | same for the theories about GitHub Actions | May 07 09:48 |
| schestowitz-TR | being the outsourcing of the build system | May 07 09:48 |
| schestowitz-TR | so who the heck knows what that generates or will generate | May 07 09:48 |
| schestowitz-TR | they control not jujst "supply chain" | May 07 09:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | but also buiold process | May 07 09:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | in the clown | May 07 09:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | "BUT IT IS FREE!!!!" | May 07 09:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | a) so what if we use github, it's still our free software | May 07 09:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | b) so what if Microsoft took over? | May 07 09:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | c) so what is security is managed by NSA now? | May 07 09:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | d) so what if they can edit our code, we can check how they 'fix' it | May 07 09:51 |
| schestowitz-TR | 3) so what if the build process isn't controlled by us? | May 07 09:51 |
| schestowitz-TR | f) I've no arguments left, but trust me, our free software it totally safe! STOP BEING MICROSOT HATER! | May 07 09:51 |

| Techrights-sec | in that direction has been prepared for years; the term "free speech" | May 07 10:14 |

| schestowitz-TR | I guess my test scripts do not work correctly then | May 07 12:54 |
| schestowitz-TR | you can see the empty file ~/dump-integrity-check.log and the cronjob that is supposed to send such output to it | May 07 12:54 |
| Techrights-sec | yes that file is empty | May 07 13:01 |

| Techrights-sec | the gzipped dump is no good on TR as well | May 07 13:02 |
| schestowitz-TR | I think I can see the issue now | May 07 13:02 |
| Techrights-sec | which script? | May 07 13:09 |
| Techrights-sec | fetch-tm-dump.sh ? | May 07 13:09 |
| Techrights-sec | there is no redirect in that script, gzip works directly on the file. | May 07 13:09 |
| Techrights-sec | perhaps that is the problem? | May 07 13:09 |
| Techrights-sec | ^symptom | May 07 13:09 |
| Techrights-sec | checking | May 07 13:09 |
| schestowitz-TR | OK, I think the issue is | May 07 13:09 |
| schestowitz-TR | running guznip and using >> to a file | May 07 13:09 |
| schestowitz-TR | the i/o which reports an error does not go to the file | May 07 13:10 |
| schestowitz-TR | maybe need some number there? | May 07 13:10 |
| schestowitz-TR | ~ | May 07 13:10 |
| schestowitz-TR | the file is ~/bin/get_dbs.sh | May 07 13:10 |
| schestowitz-TR | there are 3 places there where it sends output to a file | May 07 13:10 |
| schestowitz-TR | there is a similar thing in the TM remote backup script | May 07 13:10 |
| Techrights-sec | same there, gzip works directly on the file | May 07 13:13 |
| Techrights-sec | i'm going to try re-running get_dbs.sh manually | May 07 13:13 |
| schestowitz-TR | thanks, this way you can see i/o | May 07 13:13 |
| Techrights-sec | although it was yesterday's which failed and today's is ok | May 07 13:16 |
| schestowitz-TR | based on a test that I did, the error message from gunzip shows up in the command line | May 07 13:16 |
| schestowitz-TR | but does not go to the file based on my test | May 07 13:16 |
| schestowitz-TR | so I did the output-to-file thing wrong | May 07 13:16 |

| schestowitz-TR | it is possible that it was always a mistake to do in-place gzip? | May 07 13:30 |
| schestowitz-TR | doesn't seem to have caused issues until jan 6th 2022? | May 07 13:30 |
| schestowitz-TR | I think 1>2 or something like that would let me see the status of the gz | May 07 13:30 |
| schestowitz-TR | but that in itself would not solve the issue, just highlight it when it happens | May 07 13:30 |
| schestowitz-TR | (/me finished shuffling things around, a lot better now!) | May 07 13:30 |
| Techrights-sec | May 07 13:30 | |

| Techrights-sec | perhaps but I have no idea about what is causing the symptoms | May 07 13:30 |
| schestowitz-TR | can you see my mistake, like why >> log file | May 07 13:31 |
| schestowitz-TR | would not send the output I get when running the same interactively from the CLI? | May 07 13:31 |
| Techrights-sec | the error message probably goes to stderr so I've added a redirection | May 07 13:35 |
| Techrights-sec | for both lines | May 07 13:35 |
| schestowitz-TR | in tmux I set up a small pane that notifies us when there is a bad gz | May 07 13:41 |
| schestowitz-TR | I see three lines, for 3 gz files, I will add the missing one | May 07 13:41 |
| schestowitz-TR | done | May 07 13:41 |
| schestowitz-TR | the missing one was in wiki dump | May 07 13:41 |
| schestowitz-TR | should it be 2>&1 | May 07 13:41 |
| schestowitz-TR | or the other way around? | May 07 13:41 |
| schestowitz-TR | because in TM backup scripts it's used the other way around | May 07 13:41 |
| schestowitz-TR | see tmux middle pane right now... | May 07 13:42 |
| Techrights-sec | ack | May 07 13:48 |
| Techrights-sec | it should be 2>&1 | May 07 13:48 |
| Techrights-sec | ok, so we have identified a years-old bug along the way | May 07 13:49 |
| Techrights-sec | (I think) | May 07 13:49 |

| schestowitz-TR | <techrights-news> Sites like propublica, which take bribes from Bill Gates, have two reasons not to cover his crimes but to cover them up. 1) they might put at risk future money from the criminal. 2) by writing on the issue people might be led to point out the bribes, taking the scandal public So the bribes are hush money or PR money (BillPR/NPR and BillBC). | May 07 14:06 |

| schestowitz-TR | what's more, the media keeps pulishing this, reminding people or telling peopple | May 07 16:58 |
| schestowitz-TR | that he was close to epstein | May 07 16:58 |
| schestowitz-TR | not all of them even know about it | May 07 16:58 |
| schestowitz-TR | so I don't think his strategy can ever work | May 07 16:58 |
| Techrights-sec | yes but it looks like they do that to softpedal his involvement in | May 07 16:58 |
| Techrights-sec | Epstein's activities; There's been very little coverage of the money | May 07 16:58 |
| Techrights-sec | part too. | May 07 16:58 |
| schestowitz-TR | then people start searcjing the Web | May 07 16:59 |
| schestowitz-TR | maybe part of that is just periodically googlebombing | May 07 16:59 |
| schestowitz-TR | but again, I doubt this will work | May 07 16:59 |
| Techrights-sec | it looks like googlebombing | May 07 16:59 |
| schestowitz-TR | plus namecalling | May 07 16:59 |
| Techrights-sec | they may also be trying to wear out the public's attention span | May 07 17:00 |
| schestowitz-TR | my dad sent me 2 links about this | May 07 17:09 |
