If you're not paying attention to the actual data and instead follow media (renowned for #patent #jingoism galore) you might not even notice... [22:06] techrights-news Vaccine sceptics (in the context of COVID* at least) like to mock the #covid19 data and say it is biased. But actually, it's biased in favour of the #patent pools, does not show just how many people die (a lot more) http://schestowitz.com/Weblog/archives/2021/09/03/borisnaro-data/ [22:08] techrights-news tl;dr: a lot more people die directly or indirectly because of #covid19 (economy rotting, health languishing, mental problem, congested wards) http://schestowitz.com/Weblog/archives/2021/09/03/borisnaro-data/ [22:09] techrights-news There's no disputing here in the #uk many more die with #covid19 in the 'vaccine year' than the 'pre-vaccine year'; it's NOT THE FAULT OF THE VACCINE, but efficacy isn't too great, either. Go back to the lab, make something better. http://schestowitz.com/Weblog/archives/2021/09/15/wales-and-england-excess-deaths/ [22:12] techrights-news With nationwide #monopolies and #patents (also a #monopoly type) it's hardly surprising that #covid19 jabs are falsely advertised (bogus efficacy rates, decided by the seller!), rushed to market, aren't good enough (results have shown this summer). They limit actual competition and are assured sales regardless (blanket licensing), but we're only 'allowed' to mock Russian and Chinese ones? [22:15] techrights-news One thing I don't agree with RMS on is that #covid19 can be "eradicated"; he has been using this word for months. For months! Even immunology experts have long said it's not an achievable objective, so instead we need to improve survival rates, reduce spread, and find a way to co-exist with this virus.

[17:47] activelow gustaf: the same reason to remove win3.11 from DOS 6.22 [17:47] activelow i will try to revive gtk2/3 on top of directfb instead [17:48] activelow and, mesa-opengl will be entirely removed too [17:49] activelow X11 is worse, since often proprietary extensions are required, for GPU, even when opensource these are not desireable [17:52] activelow what bothers me with X11 most isn't it's presence, it is the software which depends on it and cannot be used without X11 [17:53] activelow X11 is acceptable, if anything i require does not depend on it: browser, mail, irc, office/authoring, multimedia [17:54] activelow and, i suspect spawning a netsurf-gtk/directfb on a separate framebuffer VT with a separate account probably has some security benefits too [17:55] activelow i suspect, this is one reason why wayland occured, but it relies on evdev and opengl/egl; neither are welcome here ● Sep 17 [18:11] activelow gustaf: and X11 has another issue it requires access to some hardware (keyboard, gpu) [18:12] activelow since X11 does not reside inside kernel it must either be run as process with root-privileges with the downside this exposes a *huge* attack vector against a process with root privileges [18:13] activelow or, as I did it, i patched something inside kernel to allow Xorg as non-root process, yet then permissions on /dev device nodes require user access (/dev/input/event* for example) [18:14] activelow so, an attack vector against those device nodes with user-privileges is opened, which is why i reject evdev entirely because both is unacceptable xorg-root and user access to /dev/input/event [18:15] activelow i did block some changes to Xorg to retain legacy keyboard and mouse driver, and keep xorg as non-root, nonetheless... [18:15] activelow and, the networking capability of Xorg is overkill too [18:19] activelow and the security model and administration involved with xhost utility to restrict access is weird to say the least, which is reason enough to ditch X11, imo [18:20] activelow gustaf: furthermore most distros, including gentoo, already dropped support for legacy xorg-input drivers (which i branched into an overlay here) [18:21] activelow and i expect Xorg might entirely drop support and alter some interfaces or similar, to *enforce* evdev, which is the demarcation line crossed already with other distros [18:22] activelow so, with directfb (which requires some debugging and patches), and dropping X11 i am preparing to retain a functional system [18:22] activelow meaning i can keep X11, but not link anything against it, and if some idiot escalates with evdev then i can drop X11 in a few minutes [18:39] gustaf ok so where can I read more about evdev? [18:50] activelow almost none, wikipedia mentions it's existence [18:54] gustaf ``evdev (short for 'event device') is a generic input event interface in the Linux kernel and FreeBSD.[1] It generalizes raw input events from device drivers and makes them available through character devices in the /dev/input/ directory.'' [18:59] activelow yes, in particular keyboard keystrokes ● Sep 17 [19:00] activelow the legacy xorg-input driver for keyboard didn't require any additional /dev/input/eventN interface; latest Xorg and wayland require this [19:01] activelow to acces /dev/input/eventN either I) xorg is executed with root privileges and then the /dev/input can have applied restricted permissions (600) and access to keyboard is only routed through x11 protocols, nonetheless the attack vector against X server as root process is huge [19:02] activelow or II) Xorg is spawned as non-root and then /dev/input/eventN permissions must be relaxed, which is horrible too [19:02] activelow or III) what i did so far was non-root Xorg with patched kernel, and legacy input drivers which do not required evdev exposed [19:03] activelow yet i fear another Xorg update one day will ruin the non-evdev interfaces for keyboard input [19:05] gustaf ok so it's basically security [19:05] gustaf root access [19:07] activelow potential keystroke sniffing at both kernel event interface (exposed to the systemd realm of things), in parallel to sniffing keystrokes via x11 protocol API (which can be restricted by xhost somewhat) [19:07] activelow on framebuffer console keyboard is handled by /dev/tty* [19:08] activelow which reminds me of Alan Cox again who resigned over a dispute involved with tty handling breaking userspace ● Sep 17 [21:39] activelow kingoffrance: https://www.foxnews.com/politics/france-issues-angry-response-to-nuclear-submarine-deal-between-u-s-france-and-australia [21:39] -TechPolBot/#techpol-www.foxnews.com | France issues angry response to nuclear submarine deal between US, UK, Australia | Fox News
