| schestowitz-TR | today I went through a lot of old TM, realising that it still gets many views, esp. ceretain pages | Dec 26 05:23 |
| schestowitz-TR | it does contain a ton of material from over the years, even where originals ceased to exist | Dec 26 05:23 |
| schestowitz-TR | the new site I checked too, seems like about 60k requests per day, and that's just for stuff published | Dec 26 05:23 |
| schestowitz-TR | since late summer | Dec 26 05:24 |
| schestowitz-TR | rankings in SEs matter because few people bother with anything else | Dec 26 05:24 |
| schestowitz-TR | partly due to UIs gravitating in that direction | Dec 26 05:24 |

| techrightssec2 | If it's not in his area of interest at all or he hasn't concluded that it is | Dec 26 10:00 |

| techrightssec2 | he is on. | Dec 26 10:00 |

| techrightssec2 | They've really been working to undermine both Python and R, especially the | Dec 26 11:06 |

| schestowitz-TR | git is just github | Dec 26 11:07 |
| schestowitz-TR | to the average person | Dec 26 11:07 |
| techrightssec2 | Confusion has been sown by having the R Foundation and the R Consortium, one | Dec 26 11:08 |

| techrightssec2 | advancing R | Dec 26 11:08 |

| techrightssec2 | Yes, the backdoor deal by IBM was a really bad move. Also something happened | Dec 26 11:19 |
| techrightssec2 | with Apple as it decied to side with M$ against ODF, I presume that the | Dec 26 11:19 |

| techrightssec2 | His attacks generally targeted the most productive group members so I have to | Dec 26 11:20 |
| techrightssec2 | say that it really looks like he was against the success of ODF. Whether that | Dec 26 11:20 |
| techrightssec2 | was due to some ties to m$, I do not know. However, the damage he was doing was | Dec 26 11:20 |

| techrightssec2 | Probably, he was not bad at first but I can no longer remember the precise | Dec 26 11:23 |
| techrightssec2 | time line of events. There were also strange national network outages here | Dec 26 11:23 |
| techrightssec2 | and there in time with the ISO scandals. It was like someone was pulling the | Dec 26 11:23 |
| techrightssec2 | plug on net blocks where there was a high density of ODF material, such as | Dec 26 11:23 |
| techrightssec2 | Groklaw | Dec 26 11:23 |
| schestowitz-TR | TR will publish articles about ISO next month | Dec 26 11:25 |
| schestowitz-TR | It looks like "It's FOSS" has just been cracked and hijacked. | Dec 26 11:25 |
| techrightssec2 | Excellent. Unfortunately there were shocking scandals in each of the national | Dec 26 11:27 |
| techrightssec2 | standars bodies. Each country had a different kind of scandal, which sadly | Dec 26 11:27 |
| techrightssec2 | did not make national news anywhere. IIRC all the members of the Norwegian | Dec 26 11:27 |

| techrightssec2 | checking | Dec 26 11:27 |
| techrightssec2 | Still seems ok | Dec 26 11:27 |
| techrightssec2 | Though the last article visible is from the 23rd. | Dec 26 11:27 |
| schestowitz-TR | tehir rss feed was abused and links to some unrelated blogspam | Dec 26 11:28 |

| schestowitz-TR | [09:54] <schestowitz> 12 months ago we suggested that FSF and GNU could adopt Gemini. You said you would consider | Dec 26 12:00 |
| schestowitz-TR | it. | Dec 26 12:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | [09:54] <schestowitz> In the Q&A you said you hadn't heard of it. | Dec 26 12:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | [09:54] <schestowitz> Can I relay to you some information about it? | Dec 26 12:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | [09:55] <schestowitz> Images are possible in Gemini, they're just not in the official spec. | Dec 26 12:01 |
| techrightssec2 | ack | Dec 26 12:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | it's boxing day and I get overloaded with tasks already | Dec 26 12:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | and drowned | Dec 26 12:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | possibly part of that is the troublesome machine | Dec 26 12:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | but anyway I caught up | Dec 26 12:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | albeit massive overhead, working badkward to figure out what I forgot | Dec 26 12:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | or what caused a negative emotional reaction (I think the Microsoft shills) | Dec 26 12:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | anyway, I wrote down the tasks for the rest of the day | Dec 26 12:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | I think I missed nothing, except time | Dec 26 12:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | the bad PC "iza" is still a bit of an enigma | Dec 26 12:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | we already confined its movement due to very sensitive PSU | Dec 26 12:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | riane mistook me asking questions about what led to issue for me "blaming" her | Dec 26 12:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | when in fact I try to study cause and effect, the correlation can teach us what not to do | Dec 26 12:04 |
| techrightssec2 | ack | Dec 26 12:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | a couple of years ago I noticed that I get a similar reaction to | Dec 26 12:07 |
| schestowitz-TR | a) forgetting what I wanted to do and | Dec 26 12:07 |
| schestowitz-TR | b) abnoxious news or trolls, usually but not always microsoft | Dec 26 12:07 |
| schestowitz-TR | the latter means there's nothing to be done, just move on | Dec 26 12:07 |
| schestowitz-TR | but if you mistake a and b, then you might chasing in vain some "Forgotten task" | Dec 26 12:07 |
| schestowitz-TR | when it fact it's a negative reaction | Dec 26 12:07 |
| schestowitz-TR | I will have Daily Links ready soon | Dec 26 12:07 |
| schestowitz-TR | no "tomaz" | Dec 26 12:07 |

| schestowitz-TR | there seems to be a healthy feedback loop between fsf, tr, and now digital vegan | Dec 26 13:08 |
| schestowitz-TR | among others | Dec 26 13:08 |
| schestowitz-TR | even epo insider | Dec 26 13:08 |
| schestowitz-TR | lots of material ahead for sirius too, but it needs to be generalised somewhat | Dec 26 13:08 |
| schestowitz-TR | very improbable I'll take a full-time job again | Dec 26 13:08 |
| techrightssec2 | Excellen. Andy's writings cover very important topics and compliment the FSF's | Dec 26 13:09 |
| techrightssec2 | original messaging. Same for TR. Hopefully between TR and Andy, the FSF can | Dec 26 13:09 |
| techrightssec2 | gain some inspiration to reactivate. | Dec 26 13:09 |
| schestowitz-TR | listento rms q and q aroudn 5-10min | Dec 26 13:10 |
| schestowitz-TR | he wants more people to take the role he intends to carry on with as long as he is able | Dec 26 13:10 |
| techrightssec2 | Part-time might be useful as a touchstone for what the current trends and moods | Dec 26 13:10 |
| techrightssec2 | are in industry. | Dec 26 13:10 |
| techrightssec2 | ack | Dec 26 13:10 |
| schestowitz-TR | rms mentioned stallmansupport.org at the end | Dec 26 13:16 |
| schestowitz-TR | he turns 70 around april iirc | Dec 26 13:16 |
| schestowitz-TR | gnu (usenet ANN) turns 40 in octobe iirc | Dec 26 13:16 |
| schestowitz-TR | i left my job at 40 | Dec 26 13:16 |
| schestowitz-TR | he left at 30 | Dec 26 13:16 |
| schestowitz-TR | he had already done gnu emacs before it was gnu or gpl existed | Dec 26 13:16 |
| schestowitz-TR | and did some system-level dev | Dec 26 13:16 |
| schestowitz-TR | i suppose good practice for the OS work later | Dec 26 13:16 |
| schestowitz-TR | i want and i need to focus on tr now | Dec 26 13:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | I learned a lot (good and bad) at my job | Dec 26 13:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | part-time from home would be enough and leave the mind open to thinking | Dec 26 13:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | draft (not original) | Dec 26 13:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | my dad turns 67 in 2 weeks | Dec 26 13:18 |
| schestowitz-TR | he started reading my work, which is well overdue | Dec 26 13:18 |
| schestowitz-TR | he now understands things better | Dec 26 13:18 |
| techrightssec2 | ack | Dec 26 13:27 |
| schestowitz-TR | LF = coalition of monopolies, sellouts, and even scum (like spies) | Dec 26 13:27 |
| schestowitz-TR | we need a coalition too, but opposite of the above | Dec 26 13:27 |
| techrightssec2 | How will the new foundation or consortium come up with the money to hire | Dec 26 13:29 |
| techrightssec2 | Linus? | Dec 26 13:29 |
| schestowitz-TR | that is infeasible and not really the solution | Dec 26 13:31 |
| schestowitz-TR | because Torvalds is not in sufficient control anymore | Dec 26 13:32 |
| schestowitz-TR | we saw that in 2018 | Dec 26 13:32 |
| schestowitz-TR | the system or status quo is built around finances conundrum | Dec 26 13:32 |
| schestowitz-TR | so you don't want developers controlled by github (loss leader) or luis villa | Dec 26 13:32 |
| schestowitz-TR | and all those GAFAM operatives | Dec 26 13:32 |
| schestowitz-TR | but life has financial strains, inc. legal bullying | Dec 26 13:32 |
| schestowitz-TR | some people run away | Dec 26 13:32 |
| techrightssec2 | Nothing happpens without productive developers though. | Dec 26 13:32 |
| schestowitz-TR | let's consider how linux is developed in 2022 | Dec 26 13:36 |
| schestowitz-TR | mailing lists (kernel.org) | Dec 26 13:36 |
| schestowitz-TR | bugzilla | Dec 26 13:36 |
| schestowitz-TR | many companies wanting to stick their patches before -rc1 | Dec 26 13:36 |
| schestowitz-TR | and Linus sort of deiciding | Dec 26 13:36 |
| schestowitz-TR | except when Google et al decide for him, e.g rust | Dec 26 13:36 |
| schestowitz-TR | after 4 years of lobbying through polymorphic front grou | Dec 26 13:36 |
| schestowitz-TR | the go-to reasoning being "secuity" | Dec 26 13:37 |
| schestowitz-TR | which is possible to debunk | Dec 26 13:37 |
| schestowitz-TR | good devs write mem-safe code | Dec 26 13:37 |
| schestowitz-TR | rust itself is a security and maintainance yoke | Dec 26 13:37 |
| schestowitz-TR | etc etc | Dec 26 13:37 |
| schestowitz-TR | then you have the salaries and infra | Dec 26 13:37 |
| schestowitz-TR | LF is mostly ms github | Dec 26 13:37 |
| schestowitz-TR | torvalds loist dight og what rms spoke about | Dec 26 13:37 |
| schestowitz-TR | he likes gplv2 | Dec 26 13:37 |
| schestowitz-TR | he should reread the motivations for gplv2 | Dec 26 13:37 |
| schestowitz-TR | or v3 | Dec 26 13:37 |
| schestowitz-TR | he lost control of his work already | Dec 26 13:37 |
| schestowitz-TR | fwiw, rms too shoulod reread it. microsoft systemd is bypassing or undermining gpl | Dec 26 13:37 |
| schestowitz-TR | but unlike tivoisation, here the fsf does nothing | Dec 26 13:37 |
| schestowitz-TR | while bagging money from the company that co-founded systemd, along with anotrher (intel) | Dec 26 13:37 |
| schestowitz-TR | and then rewards crazy matt for helping exactly the agenda fsf had warned about for 2 years | Dec 26 13:37 |
| techrightssec2 | Yes, the FSF has been worringly quiet on the systemd-style attacks. | Dec 26 13:37 |
| schestowitz-TR | i will say something strange: | Dec 26 13:39 |
| schestowitz-TR | I think deeper inside fsf is shy to admit it missed something | Dec 26 13:39 |
| schestowitz-TR | or was wrong | Dec 26 13:39 |
| schestowitz-TR | esp. with large programs | Dec 26 13:39 |
| schestowitz-TR | and frequent release cycles | Dec 26 13:39 |
| schestowitz-TR | those too are threats | Dec 26 13:39 |
| schestowitz-TR | figosdev wrote some new sthreats down | Dec 26 13:39 |
| schestowitz-TR | fsf does not want to deviate from the original script | Dec 26 13:39 |
| schestowitz-TR | or introduce gplv4 to deal with new issues | Dec 26 13:39 |
| schestowitz-TR | gplv3 was already painful enough as some rejected the "patch" | Dec 26 13:39 |
| schestowitz-TR | and that led to a split/rift | Dec 26 13:39 |
| techrightssec2 | Maybe but Athe longer they wait to correct the omission the worse those kinds | Dec 26 13:39 |
| techrightssec2 | of attacks spread. | Dec 26 13:39 |
| techrightssec2 | GPLv4 will be difficult. Eben has retired without a successor. | Dec 26 13:39 |
| techrightssec2 | GPLv3 was rejected, IMO, because few understand patents and even fewer sw patents | Dec 26 13:39 |
| schestowitz-TR | maybe you and/or I should research those systemd software patents | Dec 26 13:41 |
| schestowitz-TR | LP is now in Microsot | Dec 26 13:41 |
| schestowitz-TR | and ICBM is also a swpats bully and lobbyist | Dec 26 13:41 |
| schestowitz-TR | so it is relevant again | Dec 26 13:41 |
| schestowitz-TR | I forgot the patent numbers | Dec 26 13:41 |
| schestowitz-TR | but they do exist | Dec 26 13:41 |
| schestowitz-TR | and maybe we can start debating systemd in the context of legal threats | Dec 26 13:41 |
| schestowitz-TR | like we did mono | Dec 26 13:41 |
| techrightssec2 | It's probably less of a legal threat than more of a work-around preventing | Dec 26 13:46 |
| techrightssec2 | the freedom to examine or change the code because even trying to do so requires | Dec 26 13:46 |
| techrightssec2 | and inordinant amount of time, effort, and skill. Even if one ignores that | Dec 26 13:46 |
| techrightssec2 | last point, skill, and takes it for granted, systemd code is not even remotely | Dec 26 13:46 |
| techrightssec2 | accessible unless such a large amount of time and effort are expended as to | Dec 26 13:46 |
| techrightssec2 | effectively put it out of reach for anyone who hasn't been hired to work on the | Dec 26 13:46 |
| techrightssec2 | base | Dec 26 13:46 |
| schestowitz-TR | and gets msft account at shithub | Dec 26 13:46 |
| techrightssec2 | There were analyses a while back going on about how few comments were in the | Dec 26 13:47 |
| techrightssec2 | code base and how few of those that were there were actually relevant | Dec 26 13:47 |
| schestowitz-TR | MinceR: ^ | Dec 26 13:47 |
| techrightssec2 | Might do Andy and Glyn a favor and include the ISBNs for their two works in | Dec 26 13:51 |
| techrightssec2 | the post. That will make it that much easier for people to get ahold of the | Dec 26 13:51 |
| techrightssec2 | books. | Dec 26 13:51 |
| schestowitz-TR | funny that you mention it | Dec 26 13:52 |
| schestowitz-TR | i was thinking almost the same at the same time | Dec 26 13:52 |
| schestowitz-TR | 2-5 mins ago I thought about giving a url for the book | Dec 26 13:52 |
| schestowitz-TR | but then pictures bezos face | Dec 26 13:52 |
| schestowitz-TR | changed mind | Dec 26 13:52 |
| schestowitz-TR | can you get the books' isbn | Dec 26 13:52 |
| schestowitz-TR | I thought about adding cover pictures, but it would do no favour to the original from oliva | Dec 26 13:52 |
| schestowitz-TR | I only fixed two typos in there | Dec 26 13:53 |
| techrightssec2 | Amazon can be avoided for both | Dec 26 13:53 |
| techrightssec2 | Double check but I think they are : | Dec 26 13:53 |

| techrightssec2 | I think the gallery is now properly archived but am not sure. Could you please | Dec 26 14:00 |
| techrightssec2 | put checking it on the list of things to do there? You and Rianne are much more | Dec 26 14:00 |
| techrightssec2 | familiar with what is supposed to be there and how it should look. I would be | Dec 26 14:00 |

| schestowitz-TR | [05:23] <schestowitz-TR> not moaning ;-) just trying to supply feedback | Dec 26 14:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | [05:23] <schestowitz-TR> btw (ramble warning) | Dec 26 14:01 |
| techrightssec2 | Thanks! | Dec 26 14:08 |
| techrightssec2 | Which URLs have bad links? The questionmark is not allowed in path names for | Dec 26 14:08 |
| techrightssec2 | URLs since it denotes the end of the path + file name and the start of the | Dec 26 14:08 |
| techrightssec2 | query string. The inverted question mark seems like a fair substitute. | Dec 26 14:08 |
| techrightssec2 | But if there are broken links somewhere, those need to be identified by URL | Dec 26 14:08 |
| schestowitz-TR | there are two factors (maybe more) | Dec 26 14:09 |
| schestowitz-TR | a) how gallery links to itself (inwards) | Dec 26 14:09 |
| schestowitz-TR | b) how search engines link to images and pages + how susan's reviews link to or hotlink those images | Dec 26 14:09 |
| schestowitz-TR | ideally _all_ links should remain in tact | Dec 26 14:09 |
| schestowitz-TR | so as to also avoid penalties from SEs and "lost" material previously indexes (many "news" | Dec 26 14:09 |
| schestowitz-TR | sites doomed themselves cause f****ing suits don't know what changing a CMS actually begets) | Dec 26 14:09 |
| techrightssec2 | The links remain intact, the question mark removal is non negotiable with | Dec 26 14:10 |
| techrightssec2 | Apache2 and Nginx and other standards-compliant web servers. | Dec 26 14:10 |
| techrightssec2 | What can be done is have the Apache2 rewrite engine rewrite + redirect the | Dec 26 14:10 |
| techrightssec2 | old URLs at the old address to the new site. | Dec 26 14:10 |
| techrightssec2 | But the question remains, are there any dead links *within* the gallery on | Dec 26 14:10 |
| techrightssec2 | the new site? | Dec 26 14:10 |
| schestowitz-TR | when I last checked, yes. several examples above. | Dec 26 14:15 |

| schestowitz | Now that the latest LTS version of the Linux kernel (version 6.1) includes initial support for Rust, interest in the programming language just keeps growing. | Dec 26 15:45 |
| schestowitz | And, the language keeps evolving, too. “The unique approach of the Rust programming language results in better code with fewer compromises than C, C++, Go, and the other languages you probably use. It also gets updated regularly, often every month,” says InfoWorld. | Dec 26 15:45 |
| schestowitz | In this article, Paul Krill and Serdar Yegulalp look at what’s new in the most recent versions. For example, Rust 1.66 includes: | Dec 26 15:45 |
| schestowitz | A newly stabilized “black_box” function | Dec 26 15:45 |
| schestowitz | Use of “cargo remove” for removing dependencies | Dec 26 15:45 |

| schestowitz-TR | zemlin is not in charge | Dec 26 15:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | his wife is not in charge of him either, unlike what he claims | Dec 26 15:50 |

| schestowitz-TR | it's all about money | Dec 26 15:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | just money | Dec 26 15:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | always money | Dec 26 15:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | they never turn down money | Dec 26 15:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | and money is always right | Dec 26 15:50 |
| techrightssec2 | They try to make it as complex as possible to have any modular components. | Dec 26 15:55 |
| techrightssec2 | ie. FOSS | Dec 26 15:55 |
| schestowitz-TR | industry seems to eventually gravitate towards putting frauds and liars in charge | Dec 26 15:57 |
| schestowitz-TR | because in the short run lying (e.g.to shareholders and/or clients) "pays off" | Dec 26 15:57 |

| schestowitz-TR | theguardian 'forgot' to say that it is taking bribes from Bill Gates for over a decade already. Of course Gates profits a lot from those patents + graft. theguardian never criticises the Famous Criminal Gates, which is KNOWN -- not merely speculated -- to profit from this https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2020/nov/17/rishi-sunak-refuses-to-say-if-he-will-profit-from-moderna-covid-vaccine | Dec 26 16:43 |

| schestowitz-TR | theguardian can protect its evil mobster and sponsor Bill Gates by merely deflecting or redirecting rage. That's one heck of a business model. It also keeps mocking Gates' critics. Same at BillBC, which of course pockets bribes from Gates too (no disclosures given). | Dec 26 16:45 |
