back around 8am gmt

schestowitz-TR2

sent out some mails

schestowitz-TR2

wrote some decent (I think) blog posts, aside from the above in my personal site

i would like to know your opinion on the email

schestowitz-TR2

and guess/hypothesis in the blog post

schestowitz-TR2

I won't check email for another day or so

schestowitz-TR2

my gut feeling sayc copyright troll

schestowitz-TR2

schestowitz-TR2

same as my guess

schestowitz-TR2

curiously the target is the post about norway

schestowitz-TR2

and the 10-year violation of human rights

schestowitz-TR2

----

schestowitz-TR2

see the first letter

schestowitz-TR2

it contains a url

schestowitz-TR2

but does nothing to identify an image

schestowitz-TR2

maybe by intention

schestowitz-TR2

cannot be an oversight so broad

schestowitz-TR2

so this is a legally-incaded D&C

schestowitz-TR2

schestowitz-TR2

schestowitz-TR2

be sure to note the dates

schestowitz-TR2

maybe not sent to you in chromnological order

schestowitz-TR2

read my latest blog post for somc context too

Aug 20 07:39

schestowitz-TR2

remember the nations and role of copyright office in that country

Aug 20 07:39

schestowitz-TR2

that country is culpable of corruption

schestowitz-TR2

implicaitng a "public servant" (Josef)

schestowitz-TR2

we don't know if his predecessor Jesper Kongstad (KICKED OUT by the government) is

schestowitz-TR2

a model of what happens to him behind the scenes

schestowitz-TR2

we know about the expletives and international lawyers targeting the EPO behind the scnes

schestowitz-TR2

and Josef throwing "data protection" parades all the time

Techrights-sec

ack

schestowitz-TR2

to rehash (I took some nodes, aside... I will be writing more about this)

schestowitz-TR2

he SEEMS to be targeting the text of the letter from norway's labour experts

schestowitz-TR2

who cautioned it would be illegal... in 2013

schestowitz-TR2

in 2012 the judges finally confirmed it was indeed illegal

schestowitz-TR2

(meme: fair use, if small resolution)

schestowitz-TR2

there's no legal validity, but I want to know if copyright troll

schestowitz-TR2

or maybe a conspiracy to troll me

schestowitz-TR2

they have my full home address, I don't put that in public

schestowitz-TR2

schestowitz-TR2

*in 2021 the judges

schestowitz-TR2

not 2012 (Typo)

schestowitz-TR2

also, I'm not in Germany

schestowitz-TR2

we know this

Aug 20 07:52

schestowitz-TR2

from the inside

schestowitz-TR2

but cannot prove a connection here

schestowitz-TR2

so must dig deeper

schestowitz-TR2

maybe "ddiscovery" if they don't hide tracks

schestowitz-TR2

we're like the only/last site that covers epo corruption

schestowitz-TR2

so it is strategic to neuter us like they did ip kat

schestowitz-TR2

maybe they had some leverage/blackmail on jeremy philips

schestowitz-TR2

who "retired"

schestowitz-TR2

still actove, just not in the site he founded

schestowitz-TR2

it wouldn't be "above them" to grease him up with a bribe, subject to some conditions

schestowitz-TR2

but that's pure speculation

schestowitz-TR2

thanks for the input, I think I'll ask cxory, glkyn, and mmasnick for their opinion

schestowitz-TR2

I don't trust eff anymore, they would not help me

schestowitz-TR2

they also wrote a defensive post 2 days ago

schestowitz-TR2

on why they DO NOT cover some scandals

schestowitz-TR2

I've long complained they ignored EPO

schestowitz-TR2

while writing like 50 posts (!!), mostly by cory, on EU corpyirght

schestowitz-TR2

strange that patents would interest them so much, except in Europe

schestowitz-TR2

also: they wrote about patents 2 days ago

schestowitz-TR2

schestowitz-TR2

half of the days the EFF writes NOTHING

schestowitz-TR2

even in the blog

schestowitz-TR2

on average, inc. weekends, maybe one per day

schestowitz-TR2

in "bursts" (like 2-3 in a single day)

schestowitz-TR2

consider how many people they employ, you wonder what they do all day in SF

schestowitz-TR2

it's not like EFF has many ongoing cases or shares PDFs in its site

schestowitz-TR2

it did lots of that under barlow, in the wake of snoweden leaks, shiva versus mmasnick and whatnot

schestowitz-TR2

now I guess they write "tweets" and count "likes" or members or sponsors like Mark Cuban

schestowitz-TR2

Cuban = the REAL clients, the "big bucks"

schestowitz-TR2

he's their "big buck daddy"

schestowitz-TR2

that's newCoke EFF does not understand swpats is not an enigma

schestowitz-TR2

daniel nazer (good) left them for mozilla

schestowitz-TR2

I used to chat a bit with him, he too was targeted by copyright "trolls"

schestowitz-TR2

to silence his writings on patents, iirc

schestowitz-TR2

and there was vera ranieri, joe mullin among others

schestowitz-TR2

eff brought them aboard to fight trolls and swpats

schestowitz-TR2

I don't know (or think) they are still there

schestowitz-TR2

but I read eff's site via kate without seeing author names

image upload over the web = can of worms

visitors can "upload" objects

schestowitz-TR2

and sometimes execute some (e.g. php)

schestowitz-TR2

image upload over cli

Check your logs. For a number of months Swapnil has been buying fake "views"; about 90-95% of his videos' "views" are fake, paid-for, basically clickfraud.

Techrights-sec

which other sites have they shut down recently?

schestowitz-TR2

zdnet au, zdnet uk (just ghosts, like Microsoft's Ars Technica UK... founded by Microsoft, the editor admitted to me)

schestowitz-TR2

and various other sistser sites whose name I can no longer recall

schestowitz-TR2

techrepublic becomes MS churnalism and diploma mill

schestowitz-TR2

they try toi "cash in" before they die, imho

Techrights-sec

hmm.

Techrights-sec

I stopped reading ZDNet UK long ago; It was only worth reading for the

Techrights-sec

occasional Glyn Moody post

Techrights-sec

I concur

schestowitz-TR2

you cannot see the screenshot, but you can see annotations when I put them in as text

schestowitz-TR2

I think the summary states what needs to be stated about the screenshot

schestowitz-TR2

like I said, there's a www-calypse

schestowitz-TR2

the media hardly talks about it

schestowitz-TR2

some thing twitter will 'save them'

schestowitz-TR2

twitter is floundering too

schestowitz-TR2

FB=walled garden

Techrights-sec

CCP's tiktok already has a grip on tne minds of gen Z

Techrights-sec

culturally they have become foreign to the geographic region where they

Techrights-sec

are resident

schestowitz-TR2

in the climate since 2016 there's no way zuckerbag (like sandbag, but she is leaving) can convince china to let him in

schestowitz-TR2

worse yet, china's tiktok replaces him

schestowitz-TR2

no matter is he memorises some crap in mandarin to pretend he gives a shit

schestowitz-TR2

so fb has no plan for a rebound

schestowitz-TR2

now it loses billions a year on vapourware (metaverse)

schestowitz-TR2

having already bought whatsapp and FBInstagram, trying to stay relevant like Oracle tried (many layoffs in Oracle ATM)

schestowitz-TR2

Ellison rubbed Trump's thights for control over tiktok

schestowitz-TR2

Oracle has nothing to do with social control media, it's just graft

schestowitz-TR2

that's add to "popularity" the spamnil way

mosquitto logs are useless; I wonder if they should be turned off?

he worked on his project until his death

Techrights-sec

Techrights-sec

/var/log/mosquitto/mosquitto.log

Techrights-sec

It's a very good system, it's just that the logging is setup so as to have

Techrights-sec

the information spred out over several separate lines in such away as to

Techrights-sec

prevent them from being connected and thus prevented from being useful or

Techrights-sec

relevant for much of anything; almost only a waste of space

Techrights-sec

Hintjens worked on a different protocol, ZeroMQ

Techrights-sec

that does something quite different even though MQ is in the name

http://www.dre.vanderbilt.edu/~gokhale/WWW/papers/M4IoT2020.pdf

schestowitz-TR2

shows you how little I know about these

Aug 20 13:58

schestowitz-TR2

I assumed mq was a means to en end

Aug 20 13:58

schestowitz-TR2

and then many implementations with different names of branches

Aug 20 13:58

probably ZeroMQ is the better of the two, but it is unfamiliar and lacks

i wanna ask, as it is your site too

schestowitz-TR2

would putting videos embedded via invidious considered acceptable in TM?

schestowitz-TR2

just added an article about statis site generators

schestowitz-TR2

I will try to add a new video, see how that goes in browsers...

Techrights-sec

not sure, if you think it would add to the site enough to offset the lack

Techrights-sec

of oversight and control

schestowitz-TR2

this is only an experiment, so be forewarned

schestowitz-TR2

I will test in quirerss without js, ff, librewolf, and falkon

schestowitz-TR2

wowk, works without js i quiterss

schestowitz-TR2

but autoplays

schestowitz-TR2

which might be ok, you have to expand the page first

schestowitz-TR2

can ou take a quick look?

Techrights-sec

I will record about 3 videos later

Techrights-sec

explaining like that helps IMO

Aug 20 15:16

schestowitz-TR2

I think I see a minor bug

Aug 20 15:33

schestowitz-TR2

in gemini, all the latest pages say 18-08 at the top

Aug 20 15:33

schestowitz-TR2

I first noticed this because I was double-checking rss feeds' consistency

Aug 20 15:33

Techrights-sec

Techrights-sec

checking

Techrights-sec

yep, well-spotted

Techrights-sec

looking into the cause

Techrights-sec

perhaps that date can be taken out completely as the byline makes it redundant

schestowitz-TR2

totally up to you

Aug 20 15:35

schestowitz-TR2

it would take me a long time to read perl and understand how that date is derived

Aug 20 15:35

Techrights-sec

Techrights-sec

thanks. simpler is better.

Techrights-sec

it was a genuine bug, looks like it was left over from a much earlier iteration

Techrights-sec

of the gemtext function

Techrights-sec

The creation date is already in the URL /and/ the byline, so a date of

Techrights-sec

modification would be useful, but that too is in the byline;

Techrights-sec

tldr; removing it

schestowitz-TR2

ok, so stale prototype residue

schestowitz-TR2

Gulg isd already indexing hundreds of pages in that site3~

schestowitz-TR2

finding old pages would be harder except by following a trail of pages one by one linearly

schestowitz-TR2

this was also an issue in old tuxmachines

schestowitz-TR2

even archive pages need a LOT of pagination

schestowitz-TR2

in wordpress, we have archives per days, too

schestowitz-TR2

in gemini, TR has monthly listings

schestowitz-TR2

schestowitz-TR2

your browser blocks the iframe

schestowitz-TR2

or you use http inside an https page

schestowitz-TR2

they call it escalation/downgrade attack

schestowitz-TR2

it's a first time for me posting a video in the new site

schestowitz-TR2

it worked OK in all broiwsers, even quiterss w/ js turned off

schestowitz-TR2

and auto-played

schestowitz-TR2

which I thought was neat

schestowitz-TR2

it's also easy and fast to do this

schestowitz-TR2

for GOOD videos

schestowitz-TR2

schestowitz-TR2

now that you made gemini able to pick up inline plain url,

schestowitz-TR2

I think that if I see a decent video I'll embed again

schestowitz-TR2

robertson needs to be reviews before linking to

schestowitz-TR2

*(reviewed

Techrights-sec

excellent

Techrights-sec

I don't expect that the pace of the news will return in the foreseeable future

Techrights-sec

Ok, but a few lines of text describing why one would want to click on the video

Techrights-sec

would be important in both the HTTPS and Gemini sites.

Techrights-sec

yes, he's not been at his best lately

schestowitz-TR2

I put video summary in the meta part

schestowitz-TR2

but it would be wide to reproduce the same in the body I suppose

schestowitz-TR2

I'll think of a way

schestowitz-TR2

maybe url, then embed, than text

schestowitz-TR2

*then

Techrights-sec

the metadata is only in the the HTML. There might be a way to re-use it in

Aug 20 18:55

Techrights-sec

the GemText though.

Aug 20 18:55

schestowitz-TR2

for gemtext/gemini, the front page shows that as summary, but inside the page there's no trace of it left

Aug 20 18:55

schestowitz-TR2

broadie robertson in a nutshell

schestowitz-TR2

started with good technical video

schestowitz-TR2

ran out of things to show or show off

schestowitz-TR2

then started becoming a "news" person mostly parroting GAFAM, Reddit, and other corporate bullshit farms

schestowitz-TR2

based on what was not censored there

schestowitz-TR2

and he calls reddit "research"

schestowitz-TR2

haha

Techrights-sec

GemText is quite simple and quite flat

Techrights-sec

There is no document header only the body, that is the whole thing

Techrights-sec

Yes parroting is rather an unfortunate activity, especially since he has been

Techrights-sec

embracing their agendas or at least endorsing and defending them

Techrights-sec

reddit :(

schestowitz-TR2

remember what zdnet calls it: "SPONSORED NARRATIVE"

schestowitz-TR2

it's the product they sell

schestowitz-TR2

in reddit, they call me Ask Me Anything (that the moderators won't just put in the bucket... not so ANYTHING)

schestowitz-TR2

and various campaigns like they did IE9

schestowitz-TR2

It's basically a shill site, disguised as hacker... Swartz... counterculture, sticking it to the man

schestowitz-TR2

while doing AMA with crooks like billG

Techrights-sec

Swartz had nothing to do with reddit, though the latter capitalizedd on his

Techrights-sec

death and the resulting outpourings of sympathic combined with serendipitous

Techrights-sec

timing with the downfall of Slashdot.

Techrights-sec

Reddit is worse than a shill site.

in football, it's "financial doping"

schestowitz-TR2

you choose some nasty oil-rich nations and exchange PR for some funds

they "support the locals" or atheletes

they also waste a lot of water, not just forestr land, for that stupid activity is hitting a tiny ball rto signal class affiliation

schestowitz-TR2

here, there can be hosepipe ban

schestowitz-TR2

but the dubai/aue football club waters their places like there's no tomorrow, to make it all green

they do the same in the emirates
