| Techrights-sec | Remember that Lunduke and others have commented that putting the string "Linux" | Sep 25 07:07 |
|---|---|---|
| Techrights-sec | in the video title gets it demonetized, at least initially. The status can | Sep 25 07:07 |
| Techrights-sec | be restored after a small fight, but by then the peak has past and there | Sep 25 07:07 |
| Techrights-sec | will be only a trickle of views left for that video. Most videos get all | Sep 25 07:07 |
| Techrights-sec | their views at the beginning, so this tactic of Google is a way to eliminate | Sep 25 07:07 |
| Techrights-sec | production of "Linux" videos. There used to be other sites which were always | Sep 25 07:07 |
| Techrights-sec | fighting demonetization, though I cannot recall which companies. For example | Sep 25 07:07 |
| Techrights-sec | the original GNUheter site always had problem with its ad revenue and the | Sep 25 07:07 |
| Techrights-sec | ad vendor usually refused to pay and never paid what was owed, claiming | Sep 25 07:07 |
| Techrights-sec | false stats. | Sep 25 07:07 |
| Techrights-sec | So it's not just against the channels but against all coverage of Linux or GNU | Sep 25 07:07 |
| Techrights-sec | anywhere. | Sep 25 07:07 |

| schestowitz-TR | may i suggest, a la "ota", | Sep 25 08:47 |
| schestowitz-TR | we use some tag for topics to cover | Sep 25 08:47 |
| schestowitz-TR | then I can scan the irc logs for that tag to see the topics | Sep 25 08:47 |
| schestowitz-TR | e.g. [topic] | Sep 25 08:47 |
| schestowitz-TR | so that acts as a market fow when I'm done with rss feeds | Sep 25 08:47 |
| schestowitz-TR | [topic] Why Canonical is Not a Friend of GNU/Linux Freedom and Mentioning WSL/systemd Helps Windows | Sep 25 08:47 |

| Techrights-sec | ok | Sep 25 08:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | will record 'in bulk' later | Sep 25 08:59 |
| schestowitz-TR | it's a lot faster | Sep 25 08:59 |
| schestowitz-TR | and they can be short | Sep 25 08:59 |
| schestowitz-TR | maybe at some point I will add a "playlist" file so that the processing can be done for multiple files in series | Sep 25 08:59 |
| schestowitz-TR | without human intervention | Sep 25 08:59 |
| schestowitz-TR | when handling multiple files things start to get confusing | Sep 25 08:59 |
| schestowitz-TR | as they are labeled by the data and time only | Sep 25 08:59 |
| Techrights-sec | ok | Sep 25 09:01 |
| Techrights-sec | [topic] GMail not supporting standard IMAPS and instead supporting a slightly incompatible variant | Sep 25 09:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | i don't have enough knowledge of it | Sep 25 09:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | if the links you passed along earlier cover it, i can go through them | Sep 25 09:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | like we did in march | Sep 25 09:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | i used imap only at work and still use imap at work | Sep 25 09:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | for my personal accounts I'm pop3 | Sep 25 09:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | and sometimes "leave on server" (do not pop) | Sep 25 09:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | i spent years (job) supporting email access for uni professors here | Sep 25 09:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | plus vpn, dial-up (ran bsd)... | Sep 25 09:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | mostly for library access | Sep 25 09:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | digital access to journals from home | Sep 25 09:04 |
| Techrights-sec | POP went out in the 1990s; IMAPS can download or leave on the server | Sep 25 09:11 |

| Techrights-sec | rver | Sep 25 09:22 |
| Techrights-sec | Sep 25 09:22 | |
| Techrights-sec | In the 1990s many (most?) universities had Kerberos + LDAP to identify | Sep 25 09:22 |
| Techrights-sec | users whether on campus or off campus and let them have access to the right | Sep 25 09:22 |
| Techrights-sec | level consistent with the rules. I guess that was later all scrapped | Sep 25 09:22 |
| Techrights-sec | so that IPv4-based all-or-nothing level access could replace it. The VPN | Sep 25 09:22 |
| Techrights-sec | is an unnecessary redundant bug-ridden pile of crap though. | Sep 25 09:22 |
| Techrights-sec | Usually the only purposes of the VPN is to siphon money out of the university's | Sep 25 09:22 |
| Techrights-sec | budget and have an innocuous excuse to ban GNU/Linux desktops and clients, | Sep 25 09:22 |
| Techrights-sec | FreeBSD as well. | Sep 25 09:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | we ueed ldap | Sep 25 09:23 |
| schestowitz-TR | for the vpn and for dial-up | Sep 25 09:23 |
| schestowitz-TR | i had interfaces for ldap to check the users' accounts | Sep 25 09:23 |
| schestowitz-TR | i had high-level access to the full DB of the uni | Sep 25 09:23 |
| schestowitz-TR | the vpn ws not there just for library access though | Sep 25 09:23 |
| schestowitz-TR | many resources were lazily made lan-restricted | Sep 25 09:23 |
| schestowitz-TR | based on ip address | Sep 25 09:23 |
| schestowitz-TR | inc. at the cs depat | Sep 25 09:23 |
| schestowitz-TR | *dept | Sep 25 09:23 |
| schestowitz-TR | epo does the same | Sep 25 09:23 |
| schestowitz-TR | they have a vpn form intranet and such | Sep 25 09:23 |
| Techrights-sec | Keyword: lazily | Sep 25 09:23 |
| Techrights-sec | euphemism for: incompetently | Sep 25 09:23 |
| Techrights-sec | Same for "intranet". With proper access control, a VPN is only an expensive | Sep 25 09:54 |
| Techrights-sec | boondoggle and serves no purpose but to bleed coffers and to block GNU/Linux | Sep 25 09:54 |
| schestowitz-TR | i think that the vpn has another purpose: spying | Sep 25 09:55 |
| schestowitz-TR | they want to log everything | Sep 25 09:55 |
| schestowitz-TR | using the middleman for packets | Sep 25 09:55 |
| schestowitz-TR | spying on workers | Sep 25 09:55 |
| schestowitz-TR | albeit there are workarounds | Sep 25 09:55 |
| schestowitz-TR | like using two machines or two stacks in tandem | Sep 25 09:55 |
| schestowitz-TR | without turning off and on a vpn | Sep 25 09:55 |
| Techrights-sec | In practice, there are very few real use-cases for VPNs, despite them | Sep 25 10:03 |
| Techrights-sec | being shoehorned in everywhere (usually to block GNU/Linux) | Sep 25 10:03 |
| schestowitz-TR | back then I tried to support the vpn for slackware and bsd users | Sep 25 10:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | but my boss (mark) had an attitude that was like, | Sep 25 10:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | if these people can figure out how to install it (20 years ago) | Sep 25 10:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | they can probably figure out the vpn | Sep 25 10:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | and can compile from source, too | Sep 25 10:04 |
| Techrights-sec | Whereas if the authentication and authorization had happened via Kerberos | Sep 25 10:05 |
| Techrights-sec | and LDAP, both would have been supported more or less automatically. | Sep 25 10:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | rememeber we did not even have firefox yet | Sep 25 10:11 |
| Techrights-sec | Yeah that was back in the Netscape days | Sep 25 10:12 |
| Techrights-sec | or era. IIRC all that could be done not only as a web service but /without/ | Sep 25 10:12 |
| Techrights-sec | cookies, but time has passed and I am not sure of the details any more. | Sep 25 10:12 |
| schestowitz-TR | iirc, vpn was not ued so much for journal access | Sep 25 10:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | the library had a web portal | Sep 25 10:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | for journ access, downloading pdfs etc. | Sep 25 10:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | i think people just needed dial-up from home | Sep 25 10:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | witgh ldap | Sep 25 10:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | not to rely on isps | Sep 25 10:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | this was pre-boradband for many regions | Sep 25 10:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | the vpn came later | Sep 25 10:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | for some faculties that mistook vpn for 'security' | Sep 25 10:15 |
| Techrights-sec | There were strong sales teams pushing VPNs combined with managers seeing | Sep 25 10:15 |
| Techrights-sec | them as a stealth method of blocking GNU/Linux + BSD plus, I suspect, kickbacks | Sep 25 10:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | the market share or userbase of any kind of linux was a lot smaller back then, but enjoyed momentum | Sep 25 10:16 |
| schestowitz-TR | one was to slow down momentum was to fulful the prophecy of "it's too hard" | Sep 25 10:16 |
| schestowitz-TR | and x not supported. | Sep 25 10:16 |
| schestowitz-TR | e.g. x=games | Sep 25 10:16 |
| Techrights-sec | Not entirely, it was threatening to grow on the desktop overall and was | Sep 25 10:17 |
| Techrights-sec | becoming popular at universities. :/ | Sep 25 10:17 |
| Techrights-sec | The lack of game support was and probably still is cited by the business | Sep 25 10:17 |
| Techrights-sec | community as a reason for not using GNU/Linux at work. WTF?? | Sep 25 10:17 |
| Techrights-sec | Back when /. was still relevant and independent, there was a huge attempt at | Sep 25 10:24 |
| Techrights-sec | getting Adobe to port Photoshop. The company responded poorly and doubled down | Sep 25 10:24 |
| Techrights-sec | on avoiding the platform. | Sep 25 10:24 |
