| schestowitz-TR2 | months ago I deleted everything Google, inc. Google News [sic] | Oct 23 04:43 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | I left just two feeds, temporarily, to help me discover RSS feeds I had not yet added | Oct 23 04:43 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | like one that I added this morning | Oct 23 04:43 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | now Google Noise increase the RSS spying, reverting back removal of that | Oct 23 04:43 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | so those remaining two TOO will be removed shortly | Oct 23 04:43 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | on another note, some sites LACK RSS feeds completely | Oct 23 04:43 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | even mainstream ones | Oct 23 04:43 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | some have just one feed for everything, no specificity | Oct 23 04:43 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | so for those I tend to check a certain page every week | Oct 23 04:43 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | overt time those pages update a LOT less frequently -- to the point of being stale | Oct 23 04:43 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | some I demoted yesterday to "check every MONTH" | Oct 23 04:43 |

| libertybox_ | yes, I saw yesterday that Google had replaced the direct links with redirections | Oct 23 05:54 |
| libertybox_ | and thus rendered their "feed" unusable. With the redirection in place of a | Oct 23 05:54 |
| libertybox_ | normal link, it is not possible to know where the destination may end up. | Oct 23 05:54 |

| schestowitz-TR2 | had router update, managed to find out in advance by checking status every night before bedtime | Oct 23 06:08 |

| schestowitz-TR2 | after update wifi signal collission on main box | Oct 23 06:08 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | seems solved now, but very time-consuming to debug | Oct 23 06:08 |

| techright-sec[2] | If the wifi is in the 2.4GHz band, there is no real way to avoid collisions | Oct 23 06:22 |
| techright-sec[2] | even after negotiating with the neighbors. If the wifi is in the 5GHz band, then you pretty much have a full ran | Oct 23 06:22 |
| techright-sec[2] | ge of choices since there is no overlap *and* | Oct 23 06:22 |
| techright-sec[2] | so few know about it. | Oct 23 06:22 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | I already moved off 2.4 when you suggested it | Oct 23 06:23 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | the main issue was | Oct 23 06:23 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | I assumed it was the OTHER machine on the side of barrier needing another channel/wavelength | Oct 23 06:23 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | when I saw that sdynergy too had this issue I thought maybe I'm looking at the "wrong" end | Oct 23 06:23 |
| techright-sec[2] | So what was the actual problem and the resolution? | Oct 23 06:24 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | reconnect, let the network allocate another range to this PC | Oct 23 06:25 |
| techright-sec[2] | Oh, it was a DHCP problem then | Oct 23 06:25 |
| techright-sec[2] | not a wi-fi problem per se | Oct 23 06:25 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | or maybe a neighbour waking up around 5:40am | Oct 23 06:27 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | 2 hours later | Oct 23 06:27 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | causing signal collision | Oct 23 06:27 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | which was not there at first | Oct 23 06:27 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | but who knows... | Oct 23 06:27 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | anyway, it's solved not and latency seems lower than before the router was rebooted | Oct 23 06:27 |
| techright-sec[2] | How was it solved? I'm not following this at all, there's nothing in IRC either | Oct 23 06:27 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | acquiring a connection again | Oct 23 06:31 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | I don't know wi-fi protocol | Oct 23 06:31 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | but I assume that for each connection machine it negotiates some broadcasting range and sets that apart | Oct 23 06:31 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | a good enough buffer to avoid having to resend packets | Oct 23 06:31 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | and that's aside from the general channele the router uses, which can have a conflict with a neigbour | Oct 23 06:31 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | sometimes they suggest rebooting on auto mode so it can scan for channels that are 'optimal' | Oct 23 06:31 |
| techright-sec[2] | First there is a radio connection, then IP, then DHCP, then TCP/IP | Oct 23 06:36 |
| techright-sec[2] | NO! Automode makes worse and if someone in the neighborhood has done that, then | Oct 23 06:36 |
| techright-sec[2] | they are who is messing up the signal for the block. :( | Oct 23 06:36 |
| techright-sec[2] | In 2.4GHz the only acceptable choices are 1, 6, or 11. Choose the one which | Oct 23 06:36 |
| techright-sec[2] | has the least traffic. If there are any neighbors on 2-5 or 7-10 they will | Oct 23 06:36 |
| techright-sec[2] | be completely destroying the signal through interference and will have to | Oct 23 06:36 |
| techright-sec[2] | be spoken with for negotiation since it might be illegal and certainly unethical | Oct 23 06:36 |
| techright-sec[2] | to spend the trivial amount of time it would take to crack their router and | Oct 23 06:36 |
| techright-sec[2] | set the numbers to something sensible. | Oct 23 06:36 |
| techright-sec[2] | On 5GHz,the channes to not overlap. So just choose the one there with the | Oct 23 06:36 |
| techright-sec[2] | fewest access points or, failing that, least traffic. | Oct 23 06:36 |
| techright-sec[2] | tldr; 2.4GHz is nearly pointless in a crowded neigborhood, even not counting | Oct 23 06:36 |
| techright-sec[2] | the other 2.4GHz appliances or military equipment | Oct 23 06:36 |

| techrights-sec[2] | I'd mention yet again that few institutions have IT departments any longer | Oct 23 10:10 |
| techrights-sec[2] | and have instead m$ resellers on the payroll working against the institution | Oct 23 10:10 |

| techrights-sec[2] | Which "they" can move web pages? At one institution I tracked the time it | Oct 23 10:10 |
| techrights-sec[2] | took to get one document posted to the official web site and it took well over | Oct 23 10:10 |
| techrights-sec[2] | 8 man-hours, for a finished document in its final form, just to get it public. | Oct 23 10:10 |
| techrights-sec[2] | As for " rats who have forgotten life before the maze " didn't Douglas Adams have something to say about acceptan | Oct 23 10:10 |
| techrights-sec[2] | ce or rejection of situations being related | Oct 23 10:10 |
| techrights-sec[2] | to their status relative to one's life? It was along the lines of stuff that | Oct 23 10:10 |
| techrights-sec[2] | was in place during youth had "always been there and was part of the natural | Oct 23 10:10 |
| techrights-sec[2] | order of things" and stuff that arrived when one was middle aged was considered | Oct 23 10:10 |
| techrights-sec[2] | problematic and a threat. That is of course hyperbole but I think the first | Oct 23 10:10 |
| techrights-sec[2] | part is spot on, for rats that grew up in the maze there is nothing else | Oct 23 10:10 |
| techrights-sec[2] | imaginable, nope not even imaginable. | Oct 23 10:10 |
| techrights-sec[2] | One thing that is important to remember, to put the original goals in context, | Oct 23 10:10 |
| techrights-sec[2] | was the Steve Jobs' sales pitch about the computer being a tool, like a | Oct 23 10:10 |
| techrights-sec[2] | bicyce for the mind. There are good transcripts out there worth quoting. | Oct 23 10:10 |
| techrights-sec[2] | Computerss have become inverted in purpose. Instead of being a tool to | Oct 23 10:10 |
| techrights-sec[2] | amplify results, they have become a vehicle for manipulation and control of | Oct 23 10:10 |
| techrights-sec[2] | the ostensible user as well as a time sink for what the late David Graeber | Oct 23 10:10 |
| techrights-sec[2] | identified as "bullshit" jobs. Indeed, really few areas have seen advancement | Oct 23 10:10 |
| techrights-sec[2] | in recent years. Embedded systems are one area but that is mostly through | Oct 23 10:11 |
| techrights-sec[2] | better software to make it easy to program. | Oct 23 10:11 |
| techrights-sec[2] | The term "system" ought to be defined near the start to provide context for | Oct 23 10:11 |

| techrights-sec[2] | The OpenBSD project has had a lot to say about simplicity. They have pointed | Oct 23 10:24 |
| techrights-sec[2] | out time and again, based on real-life examples in other projects, that | Oct 23 10:24 |
| techrights-sec[2] | complexity (and difficulty in use) is anathema to "security". Though one does | Oct 23 10:24 |
| techrights-sec[2] | have to be very careful and define (confidentiality, integrity, availability) | Oct 23 10:24 |
| techrights-sec[2] | security at the beginning to avoid microsofters coopting the term to stand | Oct 23 10:24 |
| techrights-sec[2] | for their own job security and nothing more. | Oct 23 10:24 |

| techrights-sec[2] | When promoting Gemini, it probably helps to mention that it needs a separate | Oct 23 14:00 |
| techrights-sec[2] | client. The last article kind of alluded to that but did not quite say directly | Oct 23 14:00 |
| techrights-sec[2] | nor did it link to any page with direct informatin about Gemini clients. It | Oct 23 14:00 |
| techrights-sec[2] | would be great to have links to an overview of Gemini clients. | Oct 23 14:00 |
| techrights-sec[2] | https://ghuntley.com/fracture/ | Oct 23 14:00 |
| -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-ghuntley.com | Visual Studio Code is designed to fracture | Oct 23 14:00 | |
| techrights-sec[2] | Friedman mentioned briefly | Oct 23 14:00 |
| techrights-sec[2] | """Maybe we need a new movement (or revisit past ideas from the 70s) that focuses on ensuring the openness regard | Oct 23 14:00 |
| techrights-sec[2] | ing freedoms of computing () that combat proprietary SaaS offerings? """ | Oct 23 14:00 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | sorry, was afak for 3 hours | Oct 23 14:41 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | the router thing determined the day | Oct 23 14:41 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | I might now delete that remnant of gulag | Oct 23 14:41 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | trying to make sure I got what I need by now (pertinent sites that still cover gnu/linux sometimes) | Oct 23 14:41 |

| techrights-sec[2] | ack | Oct 23 15:31 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | I've been in contact with ffii re upc | Oct 23 15:39 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | I have a clearer picture now | Oct 23 15:40 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | tbh, we should cover the issue but not put ALL our energy where the issues have already | Oct 23 15:40 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | been laid out clearly and legal challenges will certainly arrive | Oct 23 15:40 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | I like where farnell is going | Oct 23 15:40 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | I really enjoy his articles and wish we had more like these in MSM | Oct 23 15:40 |
| techrights-sec[2] | ack | Oct 23 15:41 |
| techrights-sec[2] | Maybe there is a low effort way to make sure the UPC stays dead and buried | Oct 23 15:41 |
| techrights-sec[2] | Farnell could possibly shop out his writings as a guest author to a few | Oct 23 15:41 |
| techrights-sec[2] | publications? | Oct 23 15:41 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | it is not a way to make a living | Oct 23 15:41 |
| techrights-sec[2] | No, it would not be profitable but would help broadcast an important message. | Oct 23 15:42 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | yes, with family to pprovide for time is limited | Oct 23 15:42 |
| techrights-sec[2] | Ah. Of course. | Oct 23 15:43 |
| *starstreak (~starstreak@muarsy2vret2q.irc) has joined #boycottnovell | Oct 23 15:44 | |
| schestowitz-TR2 | nhs (wife, iirc) under attack and rising costs of living make it harder to pursue hobbies, volunteer | Oct 23 15:45 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | rianne ad I can live OK on less than 1k, family with kids need several K's | Oct 23 15:45 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | the mortgage alone can be 1k | Oct 23 15:45 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | chomsky's theory about habving boot on the neck with student loans seema applicable here | Oct 23 15:45 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | as costs rise activism becomes less afe and harder to justify | Oct 23 15:45 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | as people struggle just for survival | Oct 23 15:45 |
| techrights-sec[2] | Yes student loans are a way to drop kick youth into debt / wage slavery | Oct 23 15:46 |
| techrights-sec[2] | then life becomes a hand-to-mouth struggle to stay afloat instead of having | Oct 23 15:46 |
| techrights-sec[2] | time to improve, advance, or be involved in society. It is that last point | Oct 23 15:46 |
| techrights-sec[2] | that the oligarchy really has an issue with and aims to prevent. | Oct 23 15:46 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | rms was atatcked to discourage | Oct 23 16:03 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | 1) people listening to him | Oct 23 16:03 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | 2) people thinking similarly or expressing similar views | Oct 23 16:03 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | 3) there are other reasons, set them aside | Oct 23 16:03 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | I think UPC issues are for states to fight over at the end, we just need to supply them with some facts | Oct 23 16:03 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | but re farnell and harmful impact of tech, if you get enough people to talk similarly, things can change | Oct 23 16:03 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | same with convincign people to thun "self-service" | Oct 23 16:03 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | so it's a war of ideas | Oct 23 16:03 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | the media other kills itself or gets killed | Oct 23 16:03 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | or gets spamnilled | Oct 23 16:03 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | /sthun/shun/ | Oct 23 16:03 |
| techrights-sec[2] | yes it was to discourage software freedom and discussion of software freedom | Oct 23 16:13 |
| techrights-sec[2] | in general | Oct 23 16:13 |
| techrights-sec[2] | quite | Oct 23 16:13 |
| techrights-sec[2] | spamnil is just noise not any kind of media or reporting of any kind | Oct 23 16:13 |
| techrights-sec[2] | It's rather too bad that he actively chose that model because back in his | Oct 23 16:13 |
| techrights-sec[2] | muktware days he had some glimmers of promise in his work. But it looks like | Oct 23 16:13 |
| techrights-sec[2] | he did that just enough to get his foot in the door and may have had his eye | Oct 23 16:13 |
| techrights-sec[2] | on selling out from very early on | Oct 23 16:13 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | he is in a dying occupation | Oct 23 16:14 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | like his former employer in india | Oct 23 16:14 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | he's not a techie | Oct 23 16:14 |
| techrights-sec[2] | advertising / marketeering is far from dying out unfortunately | Oct 23 16:17 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | I'd say, | Oct 23 16:21 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | he came from corproate 'journalism' | Oct 23 16:21 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | not the same as PR | Oct 23 16:21 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | but close to it | Oct 23 16:21 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | sean michael kernel (ex/current LinuxToday) sort of defected as well | Oct 23 16:21 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | just to survive | Oct 23 16:21 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | there are barely any job openbings for investigators in the press | Oct 23 16:21 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | those that still exist have lots of competition over them | Oct 23 16:21 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | due to the layoffs | Oct 23 16:21 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | Sheela Microsoft and the wife James Z probably chose to keep Spamnil | Oct 23 16:21 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | because he was easier to control and he would promote and resort to fraud | Oct 23 16:21 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | he ruined linux.com already and did not stop there | Oct 23 16:21 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | I am sometimes reluctant to use the term "Linux" anymore | Oct 23 16:21 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | because of what this brand implies | Oct 23 16:21 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | rust, "microsoftr loves", clown, etc. | Oct 23 16:21 |
| techrights-sec[2] | I think that was the reason he was hired :( | Oct 23 16:23 |
| techrights-sec[2] | Yes he is helping tarnish or even kill the brand | Oct 23 16:23 |

| schestowitz-TR2 | just like in the old days | Oct 23 16:27 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | I clicked on that the other day just to check | Oct 23 16:27 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | i think you'd have to judge for yourself | Oct 23 16:27 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | butit was awful | Oct 23 16:27 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | it was just him talking about himself and marketing his "membership" | Oct 23 16:27 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | nothing on the screen, no face, no nothing | Oct 23 16:27 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | just persistent promotional banner | Oct 23 16:27 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | for 39:40 min:sec | Oct 23 16:28 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | the video before this one is older and 150 views | Oct 23 16:28 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | in youtube | Oct 23 16:28 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | he used to get thousands before he told people to quit youtube | Oct 23 16:28 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | he purges himself, then has remorse | Oct 23 16:28 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | in one video that he pinned it shows him drinking a ban of beer, I think | Oct 23 16:28 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | cheap macho-muchu | Oct 23 16:28 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | like fabsh from linuxoutlaws | Oct 23 16:28 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | it's like walking into a pub to find a singer who was once on tv or had chart hits, just trying to make rebound | Oct 23 16:29 |
| techrights-sec[2] | yes that's how bryan rolls these days. It is months between useful or even | Oct 23 16:46 |
| techrights-sec[2] | entertaining items on his site. | Oct 23 16:46 |
| techrights-sec[2] | He has (or had) the capability and knowledge to do a comeback | Oct 23 16:49 |
| techrights-sec[2] | if he really wanted to. But he hasn't covered any relevant topics hardly at | Oct 23 16:49 |
| techrights-sec[2] | all for a few years now. | Oct 23 16:49 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | many things 'collapse' these days | Oct 23 16:57 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | if you do not yourself "collapse", you are better off than the average | Oct 23 16:57 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | I was never a fan of Lunduke | Oct 23 16:57 |
| schestowitz-TR2 | but when it's hard to find material I can settle for anything (almost) | Oct 23 16:57 |
