Does the database need to be [08:35] Techrights-sec paused or otherwise dealt with during rsync backup? [08:35] Techrights-sec the db is just a small flat file, a list of users [08:36] Techrights-sec admins are in the yaml config files, it's very easy to read. just be careful iif you access the container (ircd) for a poke as it is sensitive and our whole comms network depends on it ● Aug 29 [09:23] *rianne_ has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) [09:23] *liberty_box has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) [09:27] *Despatche has quit (Quit: Read error: Connection reset by deer) [09:27] *rianne_ (~rianne@qhduu73fcjmdn.irc) has joined #boycottnovell [09:28] *liberty_box (~liberty@qhduu73fcjmdn.irc) has joined #boycottnovell ● Aug 29 [10:14] Techrights-sec Itl'll be peek() not poke() [10:14] Techrights-sec The IRC data needs to be part of the backup routine soon.

[15:51] schestowitz-TR oif course but we do not focus on those, we have limited cpaacity [15:54] Techrights-sec Yes. But the general trend is that the "news" seems to be written these days [15:54] Techrights-sec almost entirely by those with conflicts of interests. It's more like press [15:54] Techrights-sec releases than reporting. Or lobbying than reporting. [15:54] Techrights-sec You've written about that before, but it seems extra irritating just [15:54] Techrights-sec at this moment today. [15:54] schestowitz-TR Did you know that the US Army is trying to save Afghans, according to US military-funded media? ;-) [15:59] Techrights-sec Yes by flying some of the out. In other news the biometric databases which [15:59] Techrights-sec they helped set up are probably in use by the hostile forces surrounding [15:59] Techrights-sec the airport and filtering the crowds. ● Aug 29 [16:00] schestowitz-TR Thomas Drake (NSA WBer) referred to this as "turnkey tyranny" [16:02] schestowitz-TR if you wish to be irritated by PR disguised as "news" or youtube cruft, go to tfir.io LOL (few people even go there; he now hides the number of views on posts) [16:03] Techrights-sec Drake has had important things to say.

[16:11] schestowitz-TR it's so broad a problem that it is not even limited to tech so I would rather focus on estonia tonight and now the latest Microsoft catastrophe (whatever little press coverd it) and corrupt(ed) "journlists" [16:11] schestowitz-TR *not the [16:18] Techrights-sec yes, just venting at the moment.

[16:20] Techrights-sec Twenty years ago it would have not been possible for a single person [16:20] Techrights-sec to skim through all the relevant headlines in a day.
