| schestowitz-TR | good morning | Jun 30 07:58 |
|---|---|---|
| schestowitz-TR | yes, re your remark on ddos | Jun 30 07:58 |
| schestowitz-TR | I constantly feel compelled to pick the FUD and respond to it at least with one liners | Jun 30 07:58 |
| schestowitz-TR | that might not get noticed much | Jun 30 07:58 |
| schestowitz-TR | but even in TM and TR those same FUD patterns can be undone | Jun 30 07:58 |
| schestowitz-TR | and maybe readers will "take from from there" and rebut similarly | Jun 30 07:58 |
| schestowitz-TR | itwire used to be posting good rebuttals to fud | Jun 30 08:00 |
| schestowitz-TR | always from sam | Jun 30 08:00 |
| schestowitz-TR | I see he and hos co's now have mandatory microsoft spam to churn out | Jun 30 08:00 |
| schestowitz-TR | to defuse such rebuttals of FUD | Jun 30 08:00 |
| schestowitz-TR | or saturate to the point nobody will bother reading these | Jun 30 08:00 |
| Techrights-sec2 | yes there has been a terrible uptick in M$ spam there somewhat recently | Jun 30 08:11 |
| Techrights-sec2 | yes | Jun 30 08:11 |
| schestowitz-TR | like with upc, no perfect way to respond | Jun 30 08:11 |
| schestowitz-TR | for starters, you give visibility to something otherwise seen by just a handful of people | Jun 30 08:11 |
| schestowitz-TR | so I think a token, quick rebuttal, with repetition can help | Jun 30 08:11 |
| schestowitz-TR | same for gates foundation a decade ago | Jun 30 08:11 |
| schestowitz-TR | so the crimtical thinking kicks off | Jun 30 08:11 |
| schestowitz-TR | "it's not just me thinking this is BS..." | Jun 30 08:11 |
| Techrights-sec2 | the spam is damaging ITWire badly and it will soon be time to skip over | Jun 30 08:11 |
| Techrights-sec2 | checking it daily for news | Jun 30 08:11 |
| schestowitz-TR | less than a year ago we did, for maybe a month, have itwire in auto, | Jun 30 08:13 |
| schestowitz-TR | but it fatigued me as maybe I found one REAL ARTICLE (as in REAL) among a seas of | Jun 30 08:13 |
| schestowitz-TR | BS/spam. Not just ON-TOPIC of topic of interest to me, but something that | Jun 30 08:13 |
| schestowitz-TR | did nor smack of TFIR spamnil | Jun 30 08:13 |
| schestowitz-TR | the "extremely well-connected" "filmmaker" | Jun 30 08:13 |
| Techrights-sec2 | there are not so many on-topic articles there since the spam surge and | Jun 30 08:14 |
| Techrights-sec2 | of course even fewer relevant articles then | Jun 30 08:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | those are two separate aspects | Jun 30 08:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | one is akin to disinformation | Jun 30 08:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | so it's not merely time-wasting | Jun 30 08:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | it can do actual damage | Jun 30 08:15 |
| Techrights-sec2 | saturate, diffuse, confuse | Jun 30 08:15 |
| Techrights-sec2 | as a means of shutting down topics and sites | Jun 30 08:15 |
| schestowitz-TR | upside: SN recognises that it is under attack | Jun 30 08:19 |
| schestowitz-TR | downside: they seem to think spam is the problem; from what I saw, it might be astroturfing | Jun 30 08:19 |
| schestowitz-TR | like the astorturfing chris dibona privately told me about (when he was running ./) | Jun 30 08:19 |
| schestowitz-TR | /. | Jun 30 08:20 |
| schestowitz-TR | BTW, I was just thinking one hour ago: | Jun 30 08:20 |
| schestowitz-TR | how to best explain why TR does not have comments anymore | Jun 30 08:20 |
| schestowitz-TR | none this year | Jun 30 08:20 |
| schestowitz-TR | they are too much of a liability | Jun 30 08:20 |
| schestowitz-TR | companies can deface posts | Jun 30 08:20 |
| schestowitz-TR | I suspected there was such an attempt in schestowitz.com | Jun 30 08:20 |
| schestowitz-TR | to get it deindexed on a certain topic | Jun 30 08:20 |
| Techrights-sec2 | it is a problem of shills and astroturfing, naively mistaken as spam | Jun 30 08:22 |
| Techrights-sec2 | there's no way to log in and comment nor to log in and make an account | Jun 30 08:22 |
| Techrights-sec2 | then the UI is not very good and then perhaps most importantly | Jun 30 08:22 |
| Techrights-sec2 | it is out of fashion to comment at a site since most sites that still | Jun 30 08:22 |
| Techrights-sec2 | deal with comments outsource it to social control media instead so that | Jun 30 08:22 |
| Techrights-sec2 | it can be manipulated and censored for political means | Jun 30 08:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | trolling example | Jun 30 08:23 |
| schestowitz-TR | person A posts story: microsoft is good | Jun 30 08:23 |
| schestowitz-TR | persob B replies agreeing | Jun 30 08:24 |
| schestowitz-TR | many people don't agree | Jun 30 08:24 |
| schestowitz-TR | and here they are wasting a TON of energy getting angry at the people who lie for Microsoft | Jun 30 08:24 |
| schestowitz-TR | both persons A and B are a problem | Jun 30 08:24 |
| schestowitz-TR | we had this issue in IRC, like people who bring up sex | Jun 30 08:24 |
| schestowitz-TR | days ago the channel became about abortionbs, masturbation and other off-putting stuff | Jun 30 08:24 |
| schestowitz-TR | irc is like our comments section | Jun 30 08:24 |
| schestowitz-TR | but at least it is very much isolated from pertinent posts | Jun 30 08:24 |
| schestowitz-TR | linking to irc to claim something about a site is something debian disliked | Jun 30 08:24 |
| schestowitz-TR | very often projects introduce CoCs for this reason | Jun 30 08:24 |
| Techrights-sec2 | yes that's a similar phenomenon | Jun 30 08:24 |
| schestowitz-TR | "Outrage divident" | Jun 30 08:34 |
| schestowitz-TR | apt term re ^^^ | Jun 30 08:34 |
| schestowitz-TR | it's "soping" | Jun 30 08:34 |
| schestowitz-TR | doping | Jun 30 08:34 |
| schestowitz-TR | short-term gain in traffic | Jun 30 08:34 |
| schestowitz-TR | angry people | Jun 30 08:34 |
| schestowitz-TR | but it leads toa formation of resistance | Jun 30 08:34 |
| schestowitz-TR | so in the long run people don't come back | Jun 30 08:34 |
| schestowitz-TR | SN is making errorss | Jun 30 08:34 |
| schestowitz-TR | by creating resistance to readers | Jun 30 08:34 |
| schestowitz-TR | TM tries hard to avoid shit like WSL and Edg | Jun 30 08:34 |
| schestowitz-TR | no need to create strong emotional reaction | Jun 30 08:34 |
| schestowitz-TR | like LXer does sometimes | Jun 30 08:34 |
| schestowitz-TR | *dividend | Jun 30 08:34 |
| schestowitz-TR | some amateurs see that certain toxic storeies get more hits | Jun 30 08:34 |
| schestowitz-TR | so they post more and more of them | Jun 30 08:34 |
| schestowitz-TR | without realising the damage this 'doping' does to 'internal organs' | Jun 30 08:34 |
| schestowitz-TR | and that's how sites die ime | Jun 30 08:34 |
| Techrights-sec2 | ack | Jun 30 08:36 |
| Techrights-sec2 | ack | Jun 30 08:36 |
| schestowitz-TR | why would russia target norway? | Jun 30 08:37 |
| schestowitz-TR | any special reason?c | Jun 30 08:37 |
| schestowitz-TR | could be some 'stray' crackers, but I've not been paying attention to nordic politics in re russia | Jun 30 08:37 |
| Techrights-sec2 | norway is in NATO and there have been fights over oil and fishing. the fishing | Jun 30 08:39 |
| Techrights-sec2 | fights are, IMHO, because 1) that's where the political power is/was in Norway | Jun 30 08:39 |
| Techrights-sec2 | and 2) it is the only barrier to the oil | Jun 30 08:39 |
| Techrights-sec2 | cyberattacks are just one means of several used to politically destabilize the | Jun 30 08:44 |
| Techrights-sec2 | region; others include using settlers en masse to establish competing colonies | Jun 30 08:44 |
| Techrights-sec2 | within the contested territories, as well as combining all of the above with | Jun 30 08:44 |
| Techrights-sec2 | massive disinformation and social control campaigns via social control media | Jun 30 08:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | it's like an experiment | Jun 30 08:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | rt and sputnik have lojng played off the extreme right and the unwanted immigrants | Jun 30 08:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | it was so successful that they do this in the US now | Jun 30 08:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | and the countrry is fighting itself, becoming a laughing stock | Jun 30 08:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | much of this was enabled by internationalisation of comms | Jun 30 08:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | iow, the pentagon's "Internet" (ARPA) turned against itself | Jun 30 08:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | Both RT and Sputnik invited me | Jun 30 08:44 |
| schestowitz-TR | but only to "bash" the West | Jun 30 08:45 |
| schestowitz-TR | I'm not THAT foolish | Jun 30 08:45 |
| schestowitz-TR | Annie Machon has mostly vanished from site the past few years | Jun 30 08:45 |
| schestowitz-TR | as did RMS | Jun 30 08:45 |
| schestowitz-TR | and jill stein is something in history books | Jun 30 08:45 |
| schestowitz-TR | yes, they do that; the immigration is not the problem; it is the settlement | Jun 30 08:48 |
| schestowitz-TR | yet they (RT , Sputnik) cultivate anger at all newcomers, whether hostile or not | Jun 30 08:48 |
| schestowitz-TR | yes they eventually get the country fighting itself while at least one half | Jun 30 08:48 |
| schestowitz-TR | concurrently works to undermine the nation | Jun 30 08:48 |
| schestowitz-TR | The Internet is still ok, with the exception of BGP and DNS, what is not ok | Jun 30 08:48 |
| schestowitz-TR | is the social control media with rides atop the Internet | Jun 30 08:48 |
| schestowitz-TR | That was a smart decision; RT and Sputnik would have only worked against TR's | Jun 30 08:48 |
| schestowitz-TR | goals and later reputation; | Jun 30 08:48 |
| schestowitz-TR | RMS has mostly had good judgment but it was dumb to speak to them | Jun 30 08:48 |
| schestowitz-TR | since, from the "interview", it was very clear they had *no* interest | Jun 30 08:48 |
| schestowitz-TR | in software or software freedom and were only interested in anti-US sound bites | Jun 30 08:48 |
| schestowitz-TR | However, RMS fatal mistake was not the mailing list faux pas but the inexcusiabinexcusably dumb decision to go to Redmond. They whacked him at that point | Jun 30 08:48 |
| schestowitz-TR | . | Jun 30 08:48 |
| schestowitz-TR | leaving his last prominent public appearance in the hands of M$ spinmeisters | Jun 30 08:48 |
| schestowitz-TR | anyway the far right / extremist on the right are wound up about misdirections | Jun 30 08:48 |
| schestowitz-TR | instead of going after the real problem in their society: | Jun 30 08:48 |

| Techrights-sec2 | the media and many officials also do what they can to facilitate that misdirection | Jun 30 08:49 |
| Techrights-sec2 | the key problem with the US elections is the first-past-the-post method | Jun 30 08:53 |
| Techrights-sec2 | of counting a "winner" rather than using proportional representation; | Jun 30 08:53 |
| Techrights-sec2 | some states are starting to correct that but both sides of the oligarch's | Jun 30 08:53 |
| Techrights-sec2 | group are heaviliy invested in the status quo and it is too late to change | Jun 30 08:53 |

| -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-danielpocock.com | Consent & Debian's illegitimate constitution | Jun 30 09:13 | |
| schestowitz | <blockquote> | Jun 30 09:13 |
| schestowitz | <p>When a constitution was proposed in 1998, 357 co-authors of Debian were asked to vote on the constitution. This is not really voting though: people who gave a positive vote were agreeing to be members. People who gave a negative vote or did not vote at all have not consented to the constitution and therefore there is no way we can think of them as members of anything.</p> | Jun 30 09:13 |
| schestowitz | <p>The names of people who voted were published. Those people, just 86 developers, became members of an association by giving their positive assent to be governed by a constitution in their dealings with each other.</p> | Jun 30 09:13 |
| schestowitz | <p>That means there are 357 - 86 = 271 people, or 76 percent, who were satisfied to work on Debian as joint authors without any notion of an association.</p> | Jun 30 09:13 |

| schestowitz-TR | I might call it the "malda effetc" | Jun 30 09:32 |
| schestowitz-TR | one day you're a star | Jun 30 09:32 |
| schestowitz-TR | then a nobody | Jun 30 09:32 |
| schestowitz-TR | and it's hard to take, some sink into depression or other addictions like computer games | Jun 30 09:32 |
| Techrights-sec2 | computer games are a waste of life | Jun 30 09:32 |
| schestowitz-TR | playtime for kids used to involve balls and pavements | Jun 30 09:34 |
| schestowitz-TR | I guess that made them fitter and more social | Jun 30 09:34 |
| schestowitz-TR | I wasted a lot of my childhood on games | Jun 30 09:35 |
| schestowitz-TR | but mostly quests and strategy | Jun 30 09:35 |
| schestowitz-TR | not shooting | Jun 30 09:35 |
| schestowitz-TR | maybe better than watching TV, which I did too | Jun 30 09:35 |
| Techrights-sec2 | playing with SBC's whether general-purpose or microcontrollers would | Jun 30 09:37 |
| Techrights-sec2 | be much more constructive and even lead to positive side effects | Jun 30 09:37 |
| Techrights-sec2 | along those lines I see that MagPi 119 has been published: | Jun 30 09:37 |
| Techrights-sec2 | https://magpi.raspberrypi.com/issues/119 | Jun 30 09:37 |
| -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-magpi.raspberrypi.com | The MagPi issue 119 — The MagPi magazine | Jun 30 09:37 | |
| Techrights-sec2 | I see they are focusing more on their 'Pico' unit; I can guess several reasons | Jun 30 09:38 |
| Techrights-sec2 | one being that the parts shortages throughout the supply chain affect that | Jun 30 09:38 |
| Techrights-sec2 | type of board far less than their "full-sized" general-purpose boards | Jun 30 09:38 |
| Techrights-sec2 | worse than regular games, kids are now addicted to phone apps, such as (FB) | Jun 30 09:38 |
| Techrights-sec2 | instagram, tiktok, and others; that keeps them from interacting with | Jun 30 09:38 |
| Techrights-sec2 | eachother or anyone for that matter; so I would guess that a kid growing up | Jun 30 09:38 |
| Techrights-sec2 | now will have by age 20 the life experience of what a 12 year old used to have | Jun 30 09:38 |
| Techrights-sec2 | then at that age, even if they reform, it is way too late to make up lost time | Jun 30 09:38 |
| Techrights-sec2 | so their cognitive life is over without skills or experience | Jun 30 09:38 |
| Techrights-sec2 | TV was also a waste of time; looking back I regret even a minute of it | Jun 30 09:38 |
| Techrights-sec2 | though I grew out of it nearly 100% by late teens | Jun 30 09:38 |
| Techrights-sec2 | some types of games can help problem solving but only to a limited extent since | Jun 30 09:41 |
| Techrights-sec2 | they are so constrained; nowadays they are simply designed for addiction and | Jun 30 09:41 |
| Techrights-sec2 | pay-to-win in-game purchasing | Jun 30 09:41 |
| schestowitz-TR | The incredible machine (tim) and tim2 were nice | Jun 30 09:42 |
| schestowitz-TR | I still have notes with some titles of games I played | Jun 30 09:42 |
| schestowitz-TR | I wrote their named down during very boring lectures | Jun 30 09:42 |
| schestowitz-TR | trying to do something more useful with my time | Jun 30 09:42 |
| schestowitz-TR | all those lectures were a waste of time | Jun 30 09:42 |
| schestowitz-TR | I was like "extra" in an audicnece of some follow scholars whose work | Jun 30 09:42 |
| schestowitz-TR | I did not care about and barely understood | Jun 30 09:42 |
| schestowitz-TR | a lot of academia is like that | Jun 30 09:42 |
| schestowitz-TR | we get to pretend to care fo presentations | Jun 30 09:42 |
| schestowitz-TR | and do this mutually | Jun 30 09:42 |
| schestowitz-TR | so it's like "I like your tweet, you will like mine in return" | Jun 30 09:42 |
| Techrights-sec2 | social control media, as mentioned, is probably the biggest addiction and | Jun 30 09:45 |
| Techrights-sec2 | timewaster that people are afflicted with, but on top of both those problems | Jun 30 09:45 |
| Techrights-sec2 | there is the severe matter that it is used to manipulate values and opinions | Jun 30 09:45 |
| Techrights-sec2 | with the younger crowd, it is setting their vaues, mores, and worldview -- | Jun 30 09:45 |
| Techrights-sec2 | crookedly | Jun 30 09:45 |
| schestowitz-TR | did you see the post I did this morning about kakistocracy? | Jun 30 09:45 |
| schestowitz-TR | see the example given last | Jun 30 09:45 |
| schestowitz-TR | I can relate to it as I saw it | Jun 30 09:45 |
| Techrights-sec2 | checking | Jun 30 09:46 |
| Techrights-sec2 | yes, though summary needed a bit about how Campinos was hired despite being | Jun 30 09:46 |
| Techrights-sec2 | unfit | Jun 30 09:46 |
| Techrights-sec2 | that's in the bitmap but not the readable text | Jun 30 09:46 |
| schestowitz-TR | afaik, it was about battistelli | Jun 30 09:46 |
| schestowitz-TR | I could add this ref: | Jun 30 09:46 |
| schestowitz-TR | I cannot find it as I forgot the spelling of his french surname (not for the first time) | Jun 30 09:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | it's something like berranas | Jun 30 09:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | anyway, Battistelli is D player who brought another D, Campinos | Jun 30 09:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | so it was a turning point | Jun 30 09:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | those posts from yesterday were accessed a lot | Jun 30 09:50 |
| schestowitz-TR | let's hope they influence person-to-p[erson disloagues | Jun 30 09:50 |

| Techrights-sec2 | checking | Jun 30 10:07 |
| Techrights-sec2 | it's there, just somehow WP choked on it somehow and it "missed schedule" | Jun 30 10:07 |
| Techrights-sec2 | I'll give it a kick in the nads | Jun 30 10:07 |
| Techrights-sec2 | that happens fairly often lately | Jun 30 10:07 |
| Techrights-sec2 | anyway, it's publishe now | Jun 30 10:07 |
| schestowitz-TR | asking any sites to REMOVE such functionality, however negligible, is like asking the cook to remove the mustard from your meakl | Jun 30 10:09 |

| schestowitz-TR | anyway, that too was a "plasmoid" | Jun 30 10:22 |
| schestowitz-TR | before I realised itwas clobbering at my system due to a bug and removed them all | Jun 30 10:22 |
| Techrights-sec2 | It's not removing anything, rather it is swapping out a kilo of javascript | Jun 30 10:26 |
| Techrights-sec2 | for two more functional HTML elements. However, I do see your point, their | Jun 30 10:26 |
| Techrights-sec2 | goal might not be to reach the largest possible audience but instead show | Jun 30 10:26 |
| Techrights-sec2 | off how "clever" they are through excessive and unnecessary javascript | Jun 30 10:26 |
| Techrights-sec2 | afflictions | Jun 30 10:26 |
| Techrights-sec2 | the 'Sunk Cost Fallacy' might also rear its ugly head in that they've already | Jun 30 10:26 |

| schestowitz-TR | I did, however, manage to produce alot in TR lately | Jun 30 14:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | Gulag Noise was such an utter waste of time in retrospect | Jun 30 14:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | no better than social control media | Jun 30 14:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | it became a sort of form of it | Jun 30 14:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | same for gulagtube | Jun 30 14:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | the internet as a whole seems "unhealthy" because of the way | Jun 30 14:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | it cluster and delivers things | Jun 30 14:01 |
| schestowitz-TR | it's mostly controlled by few corporations | Jun 30 14:01 |

| schestowitz-TR | target: world's largest (almost) municipality | Jun 30 17:12 |
| schestowitz-TR | downtime duration: 40 mins | Jun 30 17:12 |
| schestowitz-TR | cause: billing | Jun 30 17:12 |

| schestowitz-TR | and... put the code in Microsoft ShitHub (Inner Source) | Jun 30 17:13 |
| Techrights-sec2 | and artificial constraints | Jun 30 17:14 |
| Techrights-sec2 | yes arbitrary billing problems that would not have occured if they had | Jun 30 17:14 |
| Techrights-sec2 | properly self-hosted instead | Jun 30 17:14 |
| Techrights-sec2 | yes that's another thing which has bothered me increasingly about these | Jun 30 17:14 |
| Techrights-sec2 | clown services, they are only accessible for the most part through proprietary | Jun 30 17:14 |
| Techrights-sec2 | interfaces and no longer commodity technologies | Jun 30 17:14 |
| Techrights-sec2 | decommoditization through proprietary interfaces | Jun 30 17:14 |
| Techrights-sec2 | and, intentionally, the knowledge is not transferable between clown services | Jun 30 17:14 |
| schestowitz-TR | "yo, get certified dudes" | Jun 30 17:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | and use the "skills" within 1 year, otherwise it's expired | Jun 30 17:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | the GUIs will chance all the time, so you need to join the diploma (TREAD)mill | Jun 30 17:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | that's today's "IT" | Jun 30 17:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | sold by resellers to other resellers and idiots like campinos | Jun 30 17:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | today's browsers are like that too | Jun 30 17:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | cert expired 1 minutesa ago!! RISK!!! "GET ME OUT!!!" | Jun 30 17:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | some web host, iirc, did something similar to me | Jun 30 17:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | instead of informing me of something | Jun 30 17:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | takee the site/service down first | Jun 30 17:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | this is typical | Jun 30 17:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | wordpress.com the same | Jun 30 17:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | or twitter | Jun 30 17:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | suspension first | Jun 30 17:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | then appeal | Jun 30 17:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | which they ignore anyway | Jun 30 17:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | I lost track od things that lack prior communication (before action) to lessen downtime, panic, angst | Jun 30 17:17 |
| schestowitz-TR | [downtime] "haha, NOW that we got your attention...!!" | Jun 30 17:18 |
| schestowitz-TR | not only in computing | Jun 30 17:20 |
| schestowitz-TR | power shut-off | Jun 30 17:20 |
| schestowitz-TR | water I think is hard to shut off remotely | Jun 30 17:20 |
| schestowitz-TR | "return to sender" without contacting you | Jun 30 17:20 |
| schestowitz-TR | many things like this I've noticed | Jun 30 17:20 |
| schestowitz-TR | "ALL YOU HAD TO DO WAS PHONE ME FIRST!" | Jun 30 17:20 |
| Techrights-sec2 | the better way would been to require / force the clown services to | Jun 30 17:28 |
| Techrights-sec2 | have 1) a KVM-style console and 2) SSH | Jun 30 17:28 |
| Techrights-sec2 | that's it | Jun 30 17:28 |
| Techrights-sec2 | yes the "certifiation" continues to be a fraudulent, expensive scam | Jun 30 17:28 |
| Techrights-sec2 | not just the expired server certs, and argument can be made for that, however | Jun 30 17:28 |
| Techrights-sec2 | the *big* problem is that they all but outright block permanently certificates | Jun 30 17:28 |
| Techrights-sec2 | that are vouched for by anything other than a handful of shyster companies | Jun 30 17:28 |
| schestowitz-TR | hence, we use the term "cartel" sometimes | Jun 30 17:30 |
| schestowitz-TR | mark shuttlecock [sic] sold a share of this cartel | Jun 30 17:30 |
| schestowitz-TR | verisign | Jun 30 17:30 |
| schestowitz-TR | in turn, they exercise a lot of power | Jun 30 17:30 |
| schestowitz-TR | not some company in SA or little island near england (with its physical office in london) | Jun 30 17:30 |
| schestowitz-TR | but ANOTHER SU firm... | Jun 30 17:30 |
| schestowitz-TR | while the CAs or china s and russia (BRICS) are vil and black and dark | Jun 30 17:30 |
| schestowitz-TR | *evil | Jun 30 17:30 |
| schestowitz-TR | for all we know, even the "defence" budget could taker over his share of the cartel | Jun 30 17:31 |
| schestowitz-TR | which amounts to nothing more than some compouter issuing and "signing" a bunch of random bytes | Jun 30 17:31 |
| schestowitz-TR | what a scam | Jun 30 17:31 |
| Techrights-sec2 | ack | Jun 30 17:31 |
| schestowitz-TR | as you told andy lasy year 'round xmas time, wait and watch how the # of domains in the CAs "trusted" shrinks | Jun 30 17:33 |
| schestowitz-TR | over time, just like food giants and media conglemerates | Jun 30 17:33 |
| schestowitz-TR | to the point where "trust" just means "we are the GoodGuys(TM)" | Jun 30 17:33 |
| schestowitz-TR | and no pretence of openess or willingness to trust those that aren'e "good" like "Microsoft Philanthripies(TM)" | Jun 30 17:33 |
| Techrights-sec2 | web certificates are a confidence game | Jun 30 17:33 |
| schestowitz-TR | they also had data breaches and millions of invalidly or improperly issued certs, e.g. in LE and IIRC also godaddy at one point | Jun 30 17:35 |
| schestowitz-TR | so that confidence also relies on them being in control of their own systems | Jun 30 17:35 |

| schestowitz-TR | In TR articles about LE I gave the examples of Gemalto several times (recall snowdlden's NSA leaks) | Jun 30 17:35 |
| schestowitz-TR | and that "trusted" Swiss company that was in fact secretly owned by the CIA< based on verified press reports | Jun 30 17:35 |
| Techrights-sec2 | yes | Jun 30 17:36 |
| Techrights-sec2 | it is about conformance and extortion of payment not actual | Jun 30 17:36 |

| schestowitz-TR | to me, TOFU is better | Jun 30 17:39 |
| schestowitz-TR | it's decentralised in nature | Jun 30 17:39 |
| schestowitz-TR | you can even announc: in 30 days I will change my random bytes | Jun 30 17:39 |
| schestowitz-TR | if you see an error after dae x/y/z, press OK, proceed | Jun 30 17:39 |
| schestowitz-TR | heck, better yet, generate it in advantage and give fingerprint or public part in advance, as a headsup | Jun 30 17:39 |
| schestowitz-TR | buying a cert is not easy when your site is based in kenya | Jun 30 17:39 |
| schestowitz-TR | and most kenyans use chrome | Jun 30 17:39 |
| schestowitz-TR | LE is subsidised | Jun 30 17:39 |
| schestowitz-TR | it's not free | Jun 30 17:39 |
| schestowitz-TR | sometimes pays for the lights and the power bills | Jun 30 17:39 |
| schestowitz-TR | and they outsource both their operatiions and their web site to microsoft github | Jun 30 17:40 |
| schestowitz-TR | which tells you how serious they are about security | Jun 30 17:40 |
| Techrights-sec2 | I think LE has been partially subverted which is why M$ GitHub is involved at | Jun 30 17:40 |
| Techrights-sec2 | all | Jun 30 17:40 |
| schestowitz-TR | the person who made LE is not the boss of kaniini | Jun 30 17:42 |
| schestowitz-TR | I won't name the company | Jun 30 17:42 |
| schestowitz-TR | but you saw some logs related to that | Jun 30 17:42 |
| schestowitz-TR | anyway, they try to outdo 'secure' boot by decentralising the thing | Jun 30 17:42 |
| schestowitz-TR | to challenge microsoft monopoly on that | Jun 30 17:42 |
| schestowitz-TR | I am against the computer refusing to boot | Jun 30 17:42 |
| schestowitz-TR | they say, OK, we have this... but let's take the control out of Microsoft's hands | Jun 30 17:42 |
| schestowitz-TR | SJVN did a puff piece for them about 2 months ago | Jun 30 17:42 |

| Techrights-sec2 | I think LE has been partially subverted which is why M$ GitHub is involved at | Jun 30 17:42 |
| Techrights-sec2 | all | Jun 30 17:42 |

| Techrights-sec2 | ack | Jun 30 17:42 |
| Techrights-sec2 | ok | Jun 30 17:42 |
| schestowitz-TR | I think TR is one of VERY few sites that routinely speak about this issue | Jun 30 17:45 |
| schestowitz-TR | at the very least to raise awareness and encourage critical thinking in this otherwise | Jun 30 17:45 |
| schestowitz-TR | more technical-than-necessary (they use jargon to hype up the clevernesss or complexiity) "thing" | Jun 30 17:45 |
| schestowitz-TR | if put in simpler terms, people realise what this "browser warning" really is about | Jun 30 17:45 |
| schestowitz-TR | and why it's unjust on many levels | Jun 30 17:45 |
| schestowitz-TR | making it hard to self-host | Jun 30 17:45 |
| schestowitz-TR | also more expensive | Jun 30 17:45 |
| schestowitz-TR | easier to censor | Jun 30 17:45 |
| schestowitz-TR | we've not yet seen the CAs revoking CAs to censor (ish) | Jun 30 17:45 |
| schestowitz-TR | but DNS is already leveraged as such, to this effect... | Jun 30 17:45 |
| Techrights-sec2 | restricted boot is a very bad problem and it combines with the other layers | Jun 30 17:47 |
| Techrights-sec2 | of restriction | Jun 30 17:47 |
| Techrights-sec2 | I'm not sure about that, I suspect that 99.99% go with the presence or absence | Jun 30 17:47 |
| Techrights-sec2 | of the lock icon :( | Jun 30 17:47 |
| Techrights-sec2 | CAs have been abused; IIRC some ISPs in Turkey or some other dictatorship | Jun 30 17:47 |
| Techrights-sec2 | were forcing "customers" to backdoor their browsers' CA stash | Jun 30 17:47 |
| Techrights-sec2 | most ISPs don't even help customers to set up DNSSEC or for that matter | Jun 30 17:47 |
| Techrights-sec2 | even encourage it, assuming they even have it set up and available | Jun 30 17:47 |
| Techrights-sec2 | :/ | Jun 30 17:47 |
| schestowitz-TR | the CA revocation treadmill might start with some literally nazi sites | Jun 30 17:47 |
| schestowitz-TR | you can't say "no", can you? | Jun 30 17:47 |
| schestowitz-TR | you can lose your job ;-) | Jun 30 17:47 |
| schestowitz-TR | unless you are unemployed like activelow | Jun 30 17:47 |
| schestowitz-TR | he had 2 new nyms today | Jun 30 17:47 |
| schestowitz-TR | the nymshifting, I think, it due to reciving insults | Jun 30 17:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | being ignored | Jun 30 17:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | and losing legitimacy fast | Jun 30 17:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | like a nazi going into a pub | Jun 30 17:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | sooner or later he realises nobody wants him there | Jun 30 17:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | but in the pub you don't get to wear 10 different masks over time | Jun 30 17:49 |
| schestowitz-TR | we hoped the occasional snub or insult would send the message | Jun 30 17:49 |
| Techrights-sec2 | ack | Jun 30 17:50 |
| Techrights-sec2 | though I suppose it depends on what his goals are with / against the channel | Jun 30 17:58 |

| schestowitz-TR | I've copied some good new comments into #techbytes | Jun 30 18:03 |

| schestowitz-TR | they also publish infrequently | Jun 30 18:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | they only get comments when they write about EPO abuses | Jun 30 18:04 |
| thisideup | theres a new monky island coming up | Jun 30 18:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | maybe that's a hint to them | Jun 30 18:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | re topics that need covering | Jun 30 18:04 |
| schestowitz-TR | yes, I saw | Jun 30 18:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | I loved the games from Sierra | Jun 30 18:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | was it Sierra? | Jun 30 18:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | Lucas? | Jun 30 18:05 |
| thisideup | its a great game for fencing arguments | Jun 30 18:05 |
| schestowitz-TR | this is why we back up "important" (as per topic) comments | Jun 30 18:06 |
| schestowitz-TR | they probably will go into a black hole within 5-10 years otherwise | Jun 30 18:06 |
| schestowitz-TR | just like LinuxToday and Groklaw comments | Jun 30 18:06 |

| schestowitz-TR | but there is ZERO press coverage | Jun 30 18:08 |

| schestowitz-TR | those whichh they allow | Jun 30 18:08 |
| schestowitz-TR | they cull many | Jun 30 18:08 |
| schestowitz-TR | seems EPO now threatsns Kluwer | Jun 30 18:08 |
