Both the PPA and the UPC Agreement have/will come into force BEFORE the Participating Member States agree upon how crystal-clear language relating to the UK / London will be reinterpreted to permit their entry into force, and subsequent operation. [04:13] schestowitz Talk about fake it until you make it! [04:13] schestowitz Whilst I appreciate that the rules for interpreting international laws can be somewhat flexible, it is clear that what is contemplated represents nothing other than substantive amendments to key provisions of international treaties which amendments have no basis whatsoever in any provision of the VCLT.

[04:13] schestowitz Concerned observer [04:13] schestowitz JANUARY 21, 2022 AT 4:00 PM [04:13] schestowitz I would encourage the representatives of the Netherlands and Italy to have a long, hard think about the following statement of Mr Ramsay. [04:13] schestowitz Therefore, there will be no section of the central division in London. The Signatory States of the UPC Agreement will discuss and decide where to reallocate this division. However, the entry into force of the Agreement and the start of operation of the Court is not subject to the finalisation of these negotiations. [04:13] schestowitz If the INITIAL operation of the Court is not subject to the finalisation of these negotiations, then the same is self-evidently true for the CONTINUED operation of the Court.

[04:13] schestowitz Attentive Observer [04:13] schestowitz JANUARY 22, 2022 AT 7:27 AM [04:13] schestowitz It has been from the beginning the aim of the promoters of the UPC to push it through at any rate and any cost so as to end up with fait accompli. [04:13] schestowitz It is an absolute disgrace that an official organ of the EU takes a decision on a topic which has not yet been agreed. [04:13] schestowitz Any judge seeking a job at this court whilst the problem of Art 7(2) UPCA is not correctly solved, that is in a legally binding way, that is by renegotiating it,disqualifies himself. [04:13] schestowitz That big internationally active industry and big internationally active lawyers firms disregard the clear wording of the terms of a signed and ratified treaty is not a surprise as the committee drafting the RoP was co-opted. They want a good ROI, no more, no less. [04:13] schestowitz But that judges are accomplices of such an exercise is not tolerable. [04:13] schestowitz How can trust be given to a court so composed?

[04:14] schestowitz The Federal Constitutional Court (BVerfG) has sent the constitutional complaint to the German Parliament, the Federal Council, the Chancellors Office, the Federal Ministry of the Interior, the Federal Ministry of Justice and Consumer Protection and to the Foreign Office for their comments on the application to grant an interim order. Whether coordination took place between the BVerfG and the Federal President as to the further progress [04:14] schestowitz of the ratification process is currently not known. [04:14] schestowitz Those wanting to support this constitutional complaint, can do so here. [04:14] schestowitz According to press reports, the BVerfG received a further constitutional complaint in relation to the ratification of the UPCA in Germany (docket no. 2 BvR 2216/20). No further details are known yet. [04:14] schestowitz Update (19 and 20/01/2021): [04:14] schestowitz In its 127th session on 13/01/2021, the Committee on Legal Affairs and Consumer Protection recommended to the German Parliament, by a majority, to intervene in proceedings 2 BvR 2216/20 and 2 BvR 2217/20 and to submit a statement also in the proceedings on the merits, subsequent to the one filed in the procedings for the grant of an interim order already (Parliament printed matter 19/25829 [German language]). [04:14] schestowitz In its 204th session on 14/01/2021, the German Parliament has followed this recommendation by a majority (protocol, p. 25685 (A) [German language]). [04:14] schestowitz Update (09/02/2021): [04:14] schestowitz Immediately after the start of the new Parliamentary proceedings for the ratification of the UPCA in August 2020, all Parliamentary groups from the opposition in the German Parliament were comprehensively informed in writing on 21/09/2020 about the legal problems of the UPCA and its risks for small and medium-sized enterprises and were requested to raise these problems in the Parliamentary proceedings. Included were several questions which the [04:14] schestowitz German Federal government could be asked to answer (cf. letter of 21/09/2020 [German language] and English office translation). [04:14] schestowitz On 27/10/2020, the FDP Parliamentary group submitted a Parliamentary interpellation requesting the German Federal government to answer several of the questions raised in this letter (cf. Parliament printed matter 19/23651 [German language]). It is worthy to note which questions from the letter were avoided or were asked with a different wording. [04:14] schestowitz The German Federal government answered on 10/11/2020 (cf. Parliament printed matter 19/24197 [German language]). [04:14] schestowitz In a further letter sent to all Parliamentary groups from the opposition in the German Bundestag on 09/11/2020, they were asked to assess whether they would wish to make use of their right to initiate a procedure for judicial review at the BVerfG as a means to clarify the questions as to the compatibility of the UPCA with the Grundgesetz (cf. letter of 09/11/2020 [German language] and English office translation). No reply was received. [04:15] schestowitz Update (09/07/2021): [04:15] schestowitz With decision of 23/06/2021 (German language), the BVerfG has rejected the request to oblige the involved institutions by an interim order (einstweilige Anordnung) to desist from completing the UPCA ratification process until a decision in the proceedings on the merits (docket no. 2 BvR 2217/20) (also cf. the courts press statement no. 57/2021 of 09/07/2021).

This decision is a basic prerequisite for the reimbursement of costs, at the BVerfG it is only made on application. The decision took the court more than eight months instead of the four weeks it usually [04:15] schestowitz requires. [04:15] schestowitz For the proceedings on the merits, the BVerfG has set an amount of EUR 250,000.00, which is considerably lower than the EUR 1,000,000.00 usually determined in constitutional complaint proceedings with a similar subject matter. On this basis, the complainants cost reimbursement claim against the Federal Republic of Germany for the proceedings on the merits amounts to EUR 3,604.80 plus expenses. [04:15] schestowitz In the same decision, the BVerfG also ruled, as requested, that the Federal Republic of Germany is obliged to cost reimbursement also in the proceedings for the grant of an interim order. The value in dispute was set here in accordance with the usual approach at 50 percent of the value of the proceedings on the merits, i.e. EUR 125,000.00. On this basis, the complainants cost reimbursement claim against the Federal Republic of Germany [04:15] schestowitz in the proceedings for the grant of an interim order amounts to EUR 2,540.80 plus expenses. [04:15] schestowitz Thus, the complainants overall cost reimbursement claim amounts to EUR 6.145,60 plus expenses. [04:15] schestowitz If you would like to support his work on the European patent reform, you can do so here. [04:15] schestowitz Update (25/06/2021): [04:15] schestowitz As reported previously, it took the BVerfG roughly nine months to simply determine the value in dispute of case 2 BvR 739/17 which finally happened in December 2020. The value was set at 25 percent of that determined by the court in similar cases, without reasons being given. [04:15] schestowitz The requests for costs reimbursement filed on this basis are now pending with the BVerfG since roughly seven months. At the end of May 2021, the BVerfG had not even sent the reimbursement requests to the German government for comments which is a necessary condition before a cost order can be issued. [04:15] schestowitz Cost reimbursement proceedings before German courts usually take two to three months, before the BVerfG sometimes twice as long. In case 2 BvR 739/17 we are now at 15 months, with no end in sight; no cost reimbursement was allowed to take place yet. [04:16] schestowitz What do you think is the reason for this conduct of the so-called citizens courts Second Senate, the new Presiding judge of which was part of the minority of three judges voting to reject the constitutional complaint? [04:16] schestowitz Update (10/09/2021): [04:16] schestowitz The reimbursement of costs in proceedings 2 BvR 739/17 has still not been completed even roughly 18 months after the relevant decision was issued, cost reimbursement orders have still not been issued. [04:16] schestowitz On 29/07/2021, the BVerfG indicated that it now had forwarded the cost reimbursement applications to the respondent for comment some eight months after they were first submitted. [04:16] schestowitz It remains to be seen whether it was ultimately the proceedings that took longer or the reimbursement of costs.

Already the first UPCA decision shows that its considerations are primarily politically dominated and that legal issues play at best a subordinate role. This is a necessary consequence of the close ties between the BVerfG judges and party politics. I had already pointed this out in 2018 in an article on the first UPCA constitutional complaint proceedings and raised the question how [04:17] schestowitz independent the examination by judges, who are appointed under political considerations, would be in this legislative project which was politically highly desired across party lines and passed with positive knowledge of all constitutional issues. With its decision, the BVerfG has once again made its contribution to the implementation of a legally questionable political agenda, and citizens trust in its function as the guardian of the [04:17] schestowitz constitution is likely to continue to dwindle. [04:17] schestowitz After the decision, also the main proceedings on the UPCA are now likely to be unsuccessful. The conclusion of the German UPCA ratification, which can now be expected shortly, will cause a binding effect under international law which cannot easily be removed. This also limits the possibilities of further legal action against the Agreement itself.

    Hello! Recently Ive been thinking about putting my static sites on servers that I run myself instead of using managed services like Netlify or GitHub Pages.

    [09:45] schestowitz

    Originally I thought that running my own servers would require a lot of maintenance and be a huge pain, but I was chatting with Wesley about what kind of maintainance their servers require, and they convinced me that it might not be that bad.

    [09:45] schestowitz

    So I decided to try out moving all my static sites to a $5/month server to see what it was like.

    Everything in here is pretty standard but I wanted to write down what I did anyway because there are a surprising number of decisions and I like to see what choices other people make.

    A friend recently purchased a new kitchen appliance and found that they could not use some of the features without having a smartphone and app. Even worse, the app insists that they provide an email address and they are forced to disclose their mobile phone number through a text-message "authentication" gimmick. The product is rather large and they had already broken up the packaging so there was no easy way to simply send [10:01] -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell- ( status 404 @ https://danielpocock.com/free-technology-housing-construction/">Free ) [10:01] schestowitz it back and refuse these conditions.

    [10:01] schestowitz

    After hearing about this, I couldn't provide an immediate solution but I felt it would be useful to put together some notes about free software and open hardware products. Hopefully this will help all of us to be more aware of the choices before buying and installing the wrong products.

[10:08] Techrights-sec Yesterday one of the pfp-fpm processes was running away, actually several, [10:08] Techrights-sec but as one reached 99% I killed it and all the others returned to normal. [10:08] Techrights-sec So maybe that is a clue. [10:09] schestowitz-TR2 maybe it is a very specific request, or alternatively we can check about killing long-running queries pre-emptively? [10:11] Techrights-sec periodically run pkill -o php-fpm ? That's more of a kludge. [10:11] schestowitz-TR2 no, only a process that seems to be a hog. maybe there are some 'ready made' scripts like that [10:22] Techrights-sec ps -ax -o user,pid,%cpu,time | sort -k3,3rn -k4,4r| head [10:22] Techrights-sec then pick the top 1 or 2 and send a kill signal? [10:22] Techrights-sec if CPU usage is over x percent [10:22] Techrights-sec none of the common commands for limiting CPU use are currently installed... [10:22] schestowitz-TR2 interesting. can that be confined to a process type? [10:28] Techrights-sec [10:28] Techrights-sec what kind of type? args is another outut and AWK could filter on it, too. [10:28] Techrights-sec ps -ax -o user,pid,%cpu,time,args | sort -k3,3rn -k4,4r| awk '$3>3 && $5~/^php/ { [10:28] Techrights-sec print $2,$1,$4,$3,$5; cmd="kill " $2; }' OFS="\t" [10:29] schestowitz-TR2 yes, that might be a useful approach, assuming one process causes a chain reactio [10:29] schestowitz-TR2 n and stops apache [10:35] Techrights-sec ps -ax -o user,pid,%cpu,time,args | sort -k3,3rn -k4,4r | awk '$3>93 && $5~/^php/ [10:35] Techrights-sec {print $2,$1,$4,$3,$5; cmd="kill " $2; cmd | getline r; }' OFS="\t" [10:36] schestowitz-TR2 if all it can kill is a php process, than I suppose it's safe to run [10:36] schestowitz-TR2 i suppose most of these operations, or hope, are just reading from DB [10:40] schestowitz-TR2 timeout in site [10:40] schestowitz-TR2 was this a test run or incident? [10:40] Techrights-sec the ps line won't help once Apache2 has frozen [10:40] Techrights-sec yes [10:40] Techrights-sec timeout now restarting [10:40] Techrights-sec it was an actual timeout like the others [10:40] Techrights-sec though I took the opportunity to see if it wa possible to unfreeze httpd using [10:40] Techrights-sec awk [10:43] schestowitz x https://www.ibtimes.co.uk/microsoft-sees-strong-earnings-cloud-computing-1697793 [10:43] -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-www.ibtimes.co.uk | Microsoft sees strong earnings on cloud computing [10:46] schestowitz ? https://transfer.sh/ [10:46] schestowitz # is this a scam site?

  • Season of KDE 2022
    [15:27] -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell- ( status 400 @ https://programmershideaway.xyz/posts/post2/">Season ) [15:27] schestowitz

    I am Ayush Singh, a second-year student of the Indian Institute of Technology, Dhanbad, India. My application has been accepted in the Season of KDE 2022. I will be working on writing a Rust wrapper for KConfig KDE Framework. This post describes my journey with KDE and why I submitted this Project for the Season of KDE. [15:27] schestowitz [...] [15:27] schestowitz I was introduced to the world of Linux back in 2016 when I was working on compiling android from source. Like most people, I started with Ubuntu. I didnt explore Linux much at the time other than building android, and that was it. [15:27] schestowitz However, things changed in 2018 when I got my PC. Since I already knew about Linux, I decided to dual-boot and explore a new operating system. Slowly, I stopped using the Windows partition and removed it altogether in early 2020.
