schestowitzMinceR:  this is about a month oldJul 03 12:45
schestowitzno longer relevant, worth sharing for trasparency's sake:Jul 03 12:45
schestowitz[00:09] <xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> hiJul 03 12:45
schestowitz[00:10] <xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> for various reasons, i dont want to host things on my network anymore that i am not directly responsible for.  can we work together to find new hosting arrangements for xxxxx?Jul 03 12:45
schestowitz[00:12] <schestowitz> I agree that the IRC channel in freenode attracted some unsavoury words and viewsJul 03 12:45
schestowitz[00:12] <schestowitz> maybe we can make the two networks disjointJul 03 12:45
schestowitz[00:13] <schestowitz> the one that's officially ours Jul 03 12:45
schestowitz[00:13] <schestowitz> and freenodeJul 03 12:46
schestowitz[00:13] <schestowitz> this way the problem of intrusion by unknown crazies goes awayJul 03 12:46
schestowitz[00:13] <schestowitz> I actually thought about it last weekJul 03 12:46
schestowitz[00:14] <schestowitz> we can then 'sanitise' away things we don't wish Techrights to be associated with. Tux Machines had a spam problem and when we closed new registrations the abuse problem basically went away and there were no fights anymore.Jul 03 12:46
schestowitz[00:14] <xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> this isnt about the IRC channelJul 03 12:46
schestowitz[00:14] <schestowitz> The site itself does not carry such viewssJul 03 12:46
schestowitz[00:14] <xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> this is about not wanting to host things that i am not responsible forJul 03 12:46
schestowitz[00:15] <schestowitz> it tends to be IRCJul 03 12:46
schestowitz[00:15] <schestowitz> and that is not part of the site except as a thitd paty forumJul 03 12:46
schestowitz[00:15] <schestowitz> Phoronix has the same problemJul 03 12:46
schestowitz[00:15] <xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> i feel obligated to explain myself to people over things that other people are doing with their own projects, and i do not wish to be in this position anymoreJul 03 12:46
schestowitz[00:15] <xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> it is really just as simple as thatJul 03 12:46
schestowitz[00:15] <schestowitz> you don't need to tell them about the hosting Jul 03 12:46
schestowitz[00:16] <schestowitz> they try to make voices go awayJul 03 12:46
schestowitz[00:16] <schestowitz> and let them talk to me directlyJul 03 12:46
schestowitz[00:16] <schestowitz> I would not be rudeJul 03 12:46
schestowitz[00:16] <schestowitz> don't let them press you about thatJul 03 12:46
schestowitz[00:16] <xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> but this does not really solve the quandary i find myself inJul 03 12:46
schestowitz[00:17] <schestowitz> who was putting pressure and why?Jul 03 12:46
schestowitz[00:17] <schestowitz> I can only make guessesJul 03 12:46
schestowitz[00:17] <xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> well, matthew and myself share a lot of the same friendsJul 03 12:46
schestowitz[00:17] <xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> for oneJul 03 12:46
schestowitz[00:17] <schestowitz> but it would be the right thing to not allow voices to vanish by pressure and threats (I mean the site, not IRC)Jul 03 12:46
schestowitz[00:17] <schestowitz> matthew just keeps trying to silence peopleJul 03 12:46
schestowitz[00:18] <schestowitz> and he's inciting against me based on a falsehoodJul 03 12:46
schestowitz[00:18] <schestowitz> he has a grudge with baronsomethingJul 03 12:46
schestowitz[00:18] <schestowitz> he has spent years trying to silence us, even before you hosted the siteJul 03 12:46
schestowitz[00:18] <xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> i seeJul 03 12:46
schestowitz[00:19] <schestowitz> he has connectionsJul 03 12:46
schestowitz[00:19] <schestowitz> and he knows how to use themJul 03 12:46
schestowitz[00:19] <xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> but again, this is not my pointJul 03 12:46
schestowitz[00:19] <schestowitz> i'm listening, I can adapt to the situationJul 03 12:46
schestowitz[00:19] <xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> i want to have only things controlled directly by me on my network.  crystalmath is right that we should find new hosting for techrightsJul 03 12:46
schestowitz[00:19] <schestowitz> no, it would just move the pressure to someone elseJul 03 12:46
schestowitz[00:20] <schestowitz> I know how those people workJul 03 12:46
schestowitz[00:20] <xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> nobody has pressured me to drop techrightsJul 03 12:46
schestowitz[00:20] <xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> not xxxxxxx, not the linux foundation, not anybodyJul 03 12:46
schestowitz[00:20] <schestowitz> best to just not mention that you host it and not let them use you as a pressure pointJul 03 12:46
schestowitz[00:20] <xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> i want to be 100000000% clear on thatJul 03 12:46
schestowitz[00:20] <schestowitz> yes, I knowJul 03 12:46
schestowitz[00:20] <schestowitz> but peers doJul 03 12:47
schestowitz[00:20] <schestowitz> because he's lying about meJul 03 12:47
schestowitz[00:20] <schestowitz> since years agoJul 03 12:47
schestowitz[00:20] <xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> peers certainly have asked questionsJul 03 12:47
schestowitz[00:21] <schestowitz> let me talk to those peers, give them my email addressJul 03 12:47
schestowitz[00:21] <schestowitz> I can clarify my positionsJul 03 12:47
schestowitz[00:21] <xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> the problem is that they hold your own irc logs against youJul 03 12:47
schestowitz[00:21] <xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> for example, matthew linked to them to illustrate his point about transphobiaJul 03 12:47
schestowitz[00:21] <schestowitz> like I told you about a year ago, it boils down to explaining things because people try to cause misunderstanding to drive a wedgeJul 03 12:47
schestowitz[00:22] <schestowitz> he has a point, but IRC is a forum type like thisJul 03 12:47
schestowitz[00:22] <xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> it can be better moderatedJul 03 12:47
schestowitz[00:22] <schestowitz> and he didn't quote meJul 03 12:47
schestowitz[00:22] <schestowitz> mincer moderates itJul 03 12:47
schestowitz[00:22] <xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> even the GNU Kind Communication Guidelines (as written by RMS) would find this behavior problematicJul 03 12:47
schestowitz[00:22] <schestowitz> you yourself recommended himJul 03 12:47
schestowitz[00:23] <schestowitz> yes, gnu banned pocockJul 03 12:47
schestowitz[00:23] <schestowitz> his blog posts escalated sharplyJul 03 12:47
schestowitz[00:23] <schestowitz> we already imposed some IRC bans over the yearsJul 03 12:47
schestowitz[00:24] <schestowitz> usually when mincer saw no other choiceJul 03 12:47
schestowitz[00:24] <schestowitz> I took a break from IRC for today, as it was getting very tenuousJul 03 12:47
schestowitz[00:24] <xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> anywayJul 03 12:47
schestowitz[00:24] <schestowitz> even for meJul 03 12:47
schestowitz[00:24] <xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> maybe we can do something to make the IRC a little more friendly :)Jul 03 12:47
schestowitz[00:24] <schestowitz> I'll speak to micerJul 03 12:47
schestowitz[00:24] <schestowitz> mincerJul 03 12:47
schestowitz[00:24] <xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> it seems likeJul 03 12:47
schestowitz[00:24] <schestowitz> yeahJul 03 12:47
schestowitz[00:24] <xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> the IRC is quite demoralizingJul 03 12:47
schestowitz[00:25] <schestowitz> it isJul 03 12:47
schestowitz[00:25] <schestowitz> for me alsoJul 03 12:47
schestowitz[00:25] <schestowitz> debian irc is also like thatJul 03 12:47
schestowitz[00:25] <xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> not the channels on OFTCJul 03 12:47
schestowitz[00:25] <schestowitz> they hate being quoted from irc (not that I do that)Jul 03 12:47
schestowitz[00:25] <xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> #debian-devel is a tight shipJul 03 12:47
schestowitz[00:25] <schestowitz> oftc too if it grew biggerJul 03 12:47
schestowitz[00:25] <schestowitz> the trolls infest the "big" placesJul 03 12:47
schestowitz[00:26] <schestowitz> I'll have a word with mincer nowJul 03 12:47
schestowitz(mildly redacted)Jul 03 12:47
schestowitzsome people who can make up the blanks, that's fine... there would be no harm in thatJul 03 12:47
schestowitz(the above is out of date, we got these things resolved)Jul 03 12:47
schestowitzalso, FTR:Jul 03 12:48
schestowitz[15:08] <xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> leah has one hell of a vision for GNU/FSF, and i actually support it so farJul 03 12:48
schestowitz[15:09] <xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> you should ask her about itJul 03 12:48
schestowitz[15:09] <schestowitz> excellent, will do...Jul 03 12:48
schestowitz[15:09] <schestowitz> we have a lot more in common, we need to be able to tolerate the smaller differencesJul 03 12:48
schestowitz(this is good because they used to hate each other, but we got them talking amicably again)Jul 03 12:48
schestowitzsome time this month of next month redacted things about EPO will be releasedJul 03 12:48
schestowitzlots going on behind the scenesJul 03 12:48
MinceR:)Jul 03 12:48
schestowitzI don't keep secret and things hidden, except passwords, or from audiences that don't need access as they're far too hostileJul 03 12:48
schestowitzbut at least you know where we stood/standJul 03 12:48
schestowitzyou're generally correct about independenceJul 03 12:48
schestowitza view shared by Techrights-secJul 03 12:49
schestowitzbut we have to work with the limitations of resourcesJul 03 12:49
schestowitzinc. ISPsJul 03 12:49
schestowitzI can lose my home connection for hosting certain things, obviously, when political pressure intensifiesJul 03 12:49
schestowitzthe boundaries are clearJul 03 12:50
schestowitzfrom the aboveJul 03 12:50
schestowitzthe key part is this:Jul 03 12:50
schestowitz[12:45] <schestowitz> [00:15] <xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> i feel obligated to explain myself to people over things that other people are doing with their own projects, and i do not wish to be in this position anymoreJul 03 12:50
schestowitzI think that's the most important lineJul 03 12:50
schestowitznot openly naming the host can helpJul 03 12:50
schestowitz(this goes out to anyone else reading this and can fill the blanks)Jul 03 12:52
