Anti-RMS, anti-FSF, entertaining troublemakers. https://twitter.com/mjg59 [02:53] -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell- ( status 400 @ https://mobile.twitter.com/mjg59 ) ● Jun 19 [03:08] Techrights-sec https://nitter.42l.fr/mjg59 [03:08] -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-nitter.42l.fr | Matthew Garrett (@mjg59) | 42l - nitter [03:09] schestowitz I only recently found out that in our irc@localhost MinceR had muted him (I didn't know that) and that he was attempting to bypass that. Still not giving up... [03:10] Techrights-sec strawman arguments from him [03:10] schestowitz yes, straw men and fictional claims of what was actually said [03:10] Techrights-sec I wonder what motivates him to troll? [03:10] schestowitz I'd like to think just envy and nothing else [03:11] Techrights-sec He is not in the channel on good faith [03:14] Techrights-sec Likely also a second factor. [03:15] schestowitz I lost AT LEAST 10 hours this past week alone on IRC chaos. At least. I don't want to let trolls do the same. We lost so much potential work (that would likely never be done, inc. rebuttal of BS in the 'news') [03:17] Techrights-sec Yes and others probably lost more, multiply all that across all the [03:17] Techrights-sec projects which use or even worry about IRC and that is a lot. [03:17] Techrights-sec Even if the damage was not intentional, it hardly matters any more. [03:18] schestowitz I think we were sufficiently prepared. Anyway, across networks we now retain about 100 users and the bridges generally work, with over 90% of the activity coming from localhost, so we're better off. Also, in case of downtime in one network, we can use the other temporarily, aka 'multiclown' [03:19] schestowitz gemini mailing lists quiet lately, but gemini activity is still very much there [03:20] Techrights-sec The bridges were a good idea and seem to be working as they should now. [03:20] Techrights-sec Is there buffereing so that if one network is down, the messages [03:20] Techrights-sec queue up until there is a reconnection? The risk would be flooding though. [03:21] schestowitz if one network goes down, I start logging from the other side, then switch back over. Buffering isn't an IRC thing, unless the connectivity issue is temporary, and may depend on client side and irc daemon. [03:21] Techrights-sec Gemini is important, the list is quiet often while people are either busy with [03:21] Techrights-sec other stuff or thinking about what was discussed or both. No need there [03:21] Techrights-sec for incessant chatter. [03:21] Techrights-sec The lists are moderated. [03:21] Techrights-sec Ok [03:22] schestowitz yes, s/n better now. [03:25] *job (~job@42cscff4sp33s.irc) has joined #boycottnovell [03:25] Techrights-sec I suspect that much of the disruption prior to the moderation was intentional. [03:25] Techrights-sec Many forums also fall victim to that style of disruptino and naive nerds [03:25] Techrights-sec think that the disrupters are there in good faith. They are not. [03:25] schestowitz this tires people [03:26] Techrights-sec Yes, and that is the goal: to drive them out and have them throw up their arms [03:26] Techrights-sec and, if possible, rage quit. [03:27] Techrights-sec Interests aligned with M$ use it a lot but few seem to accept that fact. [03:27] schestowitz In the case of gemini I would not even bring up "Microsoft" because there's a lot more to it [03:28] Techrights-sec Right. That's why I wrote "interests aligned with M$", there's more to the [03:28] Techrights-sec interference. [03:30] schestowitz

    Cutting Slack: When open source and team chat tools collide

    At the intersection of these two trends are open source team collaboration tools. There are any number of reasons an enterprise might decide to explore communication software that adheres to a more open philosophy. Companies that manage sensitive data, for example, might prefer to be in full control of all their information under a self-hosted option, not to mention enjoying the flexibility in terms of integrations and [03:30] schestowitz deployments.

    [03:30] schestowitz

    Here we look at some of the open source Slack alternatives currently on the market and speak to the key movers and shakers behind them.

    Both archery and robotics are extremely fun, but what happens when you combine the two? In Kamal Carters case, he constructed his own autonomous robotic archery system that can not only acquire and aim at targets, but even draw back the bow and fire an arrow all on its own.
