[07:07] schestowitz-TR No, but Twitter will inform the posters as such [07:07] Techrights-sec yes, the point there is that significantly more of their traffic is bots and [07:07] Techrights-sec spam [07:07] Techrights-sec they are misleading if not outright lying if they say they have more traffic [07:07] Techrights-sec from real people [07:07] Techrights-sec infinite scoll is a UI pox [07:09] schestowitz-TR I've just woken up [07:09] schestowitz-TR part of my recent dream was, I was saying that when it comes to Russia a lot of traffic seems bot-like [07:09] schestowitz-TR with the example of anti-ooxml' petition [07:09] schestowitz-TR and wikileaks tweets about clinton-related leaks [07:09] schestowitz-TR it does seem like russians are good at scripting AND are actively deploying them aplenty [07:10] schestowitz-TR that was in my dream for some reason [07:10] schestowitz-TR but it was based on a truth [07:10] schestowitz-TR it's also one way to game twitter [07:10] schestowitz-TR and make some things more visible than others [07:10] Techrights-sec ack [07:13] schestowitz-TR beforfe i get to the mornign task [07:13] schestowitz-TR 1) maybe the intention was all along to invest, boost the stuck, then drop it [07:13] schestowitz-TR and kill twitter [07:13] schestowitz-TR based on outriage, false expectations etc. [07:13] Techrights-sec ack [07:13] schestowitz-TR while profing from the preocess and getting a TON of free media coverage/brand name [07:13] schestowitz-TR 2) the other dream I had was about many of us in the company ending up working for a museum somewhere [07:13] schestowitz-TR and the CEO getting banned [07:20] schestowitz-TR no videos or articles yesterday de to getting sucked into IRC plus trip plus TOC work [07:20] schestowitz-TR but that's OK [07:20] schestowitz-TR IRC is busy today too, I try not to spend too much time there [07:30] Techrights-sec I think the TOC changes might be all settled [07:30] Techrights-sec (famous last words) [07:31] schestowitz-TR yes, so far that has worked perfectly well [07:31] schestowitz-TR and stress-tested too [07:31] schestowitz-TR I posted 3 batches yesterday [07:31] schestowitz-TR I wanted to do video/article about LF BS [07:31] schestowitz-TR but lacked the time [07:32] schestowitz-TR dreams interfere with reality [07:32] schestowitz-TR so it's important to forget them fast [07:32] schestowitz-TR I rarely have dreams of any value ● May 14 [08:09] schestowitz-TR i worry aboyt overfeeding the fish [08:09] schestowitz-TR they demand more and more lately [08:09] schestowitz-TR \ [08:09] Techrights-sec keep the fish on a strict diet they are one type of animal that can overeat [08:09] Techrights-sec to the point of death [08:09] Techrights-sec there should be a recommended dosage per feeding and a prescribed number [08:09] Techrights-sec of daily feedings in an authoritative reference work [08:12] schestowitz-TR just discussed this, we decided to limit again to once a day and moderate dosage [08:12] schestowitz-TR we think the last one died due to too much love (feeding) [08:12] schestowitz-TR which bloated the stomach [08:13] Techrights-sec fish also last only a few years in most cases so there will always be a [08:13] Techrights-sec lot of "turnover" in an established aquarium [08:14] schestowitz-TR with "Gold" we managed to exceed 6 years, IIRC [08:14] schestowitz-TR so it was tragic to lose her [08:17] Techrights-sec four or five might bew the usual max for a goldfish, so well done in that case [08:17] Techrights-sec though there are some varieties whichcan last much much longer [08:17] Techrights-sec I think the small fish like zebras and tetras only last a few years [08:17] Techrights-sec angel fish can last longer and are considered long-lived [08:17] Techrights-sec I had some for a while and they had good eough conditions to lay eggs twice [08:17] Techrights-sec but not good enough conditions to not eat the eggs [08:19] schestowitz-TR now many of the eggs have hatched for the geese [08:19] schestowitz-TR but not all [08:19] schestowitz-TR so the parents are overprotective [08:19] schestowitz-TR and some need s distance while cycling [08:19] schestowitz-TR I told rianne in some place you would have to pay for those experience, like canal side riding [08:19] schestowitz-TR but anyway we'll try to do this every week this season [08:19] schestowitz-TR we got like 30 packs of mozzarella cheese for quarter price [08:20] Techrights-sec yes [08:20] Techrights-sec and swans don't like kayaks either so sometimes a very great distane is [08:20] Techrights-sec needed with them too [08:20] Techrights-sec is the cheese whole or shredded? If whole it might last a while but I think [08:20] Techrights-sec you can freeze it [08:21] schestowitz-TR experience suggests they last over a week, it's a blob inside liquid [08:21] schestowitz-TR and we can do 2-3 per day [08:21] schestowitz-TR also got about 30 lemons [08:21] schestowitz-TR ,good for diet (lemon water and appetite) [08:22] Techrights-sec a fresh mozzarella, tasty stuff [08:28] schestowitz-TR recipes sent to rianne via pi [08:30] schestowitz-TR we have a good branded mixer that we rarely use [08:30] schestowitz-TR i bought it about 9 years ago [08:30] schestowitz-TR turned out making cakes makes me fatter, fast [08:32] schestowitz I reached around 96kg in this trip http://schestowitz.com/royrianne/gallery/index.php/Chester [08:32] -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-schestowitz.com | Chester [08:32] schestowitz apropos,, we're fast approaching 5 million views in the album [08:36] schestowitz-TR iirc, I had to squeeze the tummy in for those photos [08:36] schestowitz-TR I never reahced 100kg, but got close at one point [08:36] schestowitz-TR maybe sleep will improve soon, with consistent time slot and fewr of them [08:36] schestowitz-TR it's still negotiable until July when finalised [08:40] Techrights-sec it's hard to stay active enough when spending time on the compurer [08:43] schestowitz-TR you can still become rcreative [08:43] schestowitz-TR like demanding "sets" [08:43] schestowitz-TR e.g. doing the shotput stuff and boxing or cruouches when proofreading articles [08:43] schestowitz-TR and stair climbs when you go up for the WC [08:43] schestowitz-TR I use the sofa behind me to lay down the ball inside a pillowcase [08:43] schestowitz-TR hopefully it won't tear over time, lots of pressure on the fabric [08:43] schestowitz-TR proofreading is very hands-off usually, just need to move the eyes, can set to large font [08:52] schestowitz-TR in winter it is 2-in-1 [08:52] schestowitz-TR body temp offset and exercise [08:52] schestowitz-TR I will likely move to the same room as rianne and her computers in November [08:52] schestowitz-TR it helps seal off and build up warmth, without any power sources other than internal combustion and computers [08:52] schestowitz-TR that helps the fish, too [08:52] schestowitz-TR I can feel the heat of tyhe raspi [08:52] schestowitz-TR if the finger is near the board [08:52] schestowitz-TR it's mostly 'naked' but not exposed to bodily movement of falls [08:52] schestowitz-TR *or falls [08:52] schestowitz-TR I still want to prepare (upfront, a prioru) a video where I configure rianne's pi [08:52] schestowitz-TR to self-host gemini and maybe httpd, inc. router config and domain registration [08:52] schestowitz-TR *priori [08:52] schestowitz-TR I cannot do it without many pauses and mistakes [08:52] schestowitz-TR or a lot of editing [08:52] schestowitz-TR which is painful (if you ever did that, ypou would know how wasteful that is) [08:52] schestowitz-TR DTP afaik only made one short edited clip [08:52] schestowitz-TR as an editor/director was never found, only pursued [08:52] schestowitz-TR making the raw footage is the easier part [08:52] schestowitz-TR kiethcu (microsofter) [08:52] schestowitz-TR keith curtus [08:52] schestowitz-TR make a decent film [08:52] schestowitz-TR but that took him years [08:53] Techrights-sec ack [08:53] Techrights-sec editing might be the faster way to produce that kind of video [08:53] Techrights-sec at the very least it is helpful to crop out the long waits, if there are any [08:56] schestowitz-TR openshot is OK [08:56] schestowitz-TR I struggled a lot with kdenlive [08:56] schestowitz-TR and tried a few others, which lacked features [08:56] schestowitz-TR for each minute of video taken [08:56] schestowitz-TR you might expect x10 more times spent on editing [08:56] schestowitz-TR uploading is mechanical [08:56] schestowitz-TR and doing text for it [08:56] schestowitz-TR but the editing is a pain in the bum [08:56] schestowitz-TR when you eatch gulagtube videos bear in mind a good ten-minute clip can be a day's worth [08:56] schestowitz-TR *work [08:56] schestowitz-TR inc. preparation [08:56] schestowitz-TR i was amused and shows rianne how robertson was seaming together bits of video every 30 seconds or so [08:56] schestowitz-TR to the funny point where his hair "suddently" changes [08:56] schestowitz-TR and gets all organised [08:57] schestowitz-TR very distracting [08:57] schestowitz-TR they fix the lighting and position [08:57] schestowitz-TR but the body, without some blurring transition would have weird "jumps" [08:57] schestowitz-TR voice is not a problem because of pauses [08:57] schestowitz-TR but it's very little RoI [08:57] schestowitz-TR but the investment is VAST [08:57] schestowitz-TR my shift ends in 3 mins ● May 14 [09:00] Techrights-sec ack [09:00] Techrights-sec that kind of hopping in the video is done on purpose and part of what seems [09:00] Techrights-sec to come from tiktok. the media here seems to be hiring a few 'tiktokers' [09:00] Techrights-sec in place of reporters and when you have an unedited live stream all the stupid [09:00] Techrights-sec contortions and shakes they do with their face and head look extra stupid [09:01] Techrights-sec I suspect it is part of the conditioning to cause people's attention spans [09:01] Techrights-sec to shrink to single digits as measured in seconds [09:02] schestowitz-TR I firmly believe that at the end people will choose substance [09:02] schestowitz-TR over mindless BS and concision for attention span's sake [09:02] schestowitz-TR BTW, gulagtube sets 10-minute limits on many accounbts [09:02] schestowitz-TR maybe that has changed, depends on account status [09:02] schestowitz-TR I've not been keeping up [09:05] Techrights-sec it may take a lost generation or two for that to happen and society is on [09:05] Techrights-sec shakey legs as it is and might not get through those down decades [09:05] Techrights-sec yes google's storage costs only go up while the income is at best variable [09:05] Techrights-sec but not necessarily increasing enough to match [09:05] schestowitz-TR gulagtube now flirts with a non-business model [09:05] schestowitz-TR flag chinese channels [09:05] schestowitz-TR ban russian channels [09:05] schestowitz-TR then hope the "service" to the US taxpayers will yield conpulsory bursaries [09:05] schestowitz-TR "hololens" LOL [09:05] schestowitz-TR From Halo to Kabul [09:05] schestowitz-TR same
