[05:09] Techrights-sec2 Maybe. [05:09] Techrights-sec2 I've blocked a great many accoutns there. But it has all been in the last few weeks. [05:10] schestowitz For the time being I've put that on the ice, seeing it's getting worse rather than better and it reminds me of MINDS [05:11] Techrights-sec2 Currently, I've blocked over 50 "channels" [05:11] Techrights-sec2 It'd be the same or higher if I had a Youtube account. [05:11] Techrights-sec2 Yes, I think the attack is the same kindd. [05:13] schestowitz pleroma.site is still down (IRC, TM, and TR rely on it to a degree). The past 2 messages, unlike previous ones, sent to the admin aren't being answered. Makes me wonder if it's coming back as he promised. [05:14] schestowitz point being, we must self-host everything. COVID further contributes to sites' death. Notice how Linux Journal sort of came back, but barely did. Rare articles. [05:14] Techrights-sec2 Maybe not. But I have not connections over there. [05:15] Techrights-sec2 Yes. Self-hosting is essential, regardless of other means of outreach. [05:15] schestowitz If you open tmux, you'll see we do over 2MB/sec in techrights due to the videos [05:24] Techrights-sec2 Yes, but bandwidth is expensive and video consumes a lot. [05:24] Techrights-sec2 Which reminds me I need to watc h the latest one. [05:24] Techrights-sec2 By the way, on TR I have an overlapping tmux session. The cursors only [05:24] Techrights-sec2 interfere with eachother when in the same window. Otherwise, [05:24] Techrights-sec2 I can move around in different tmux windows without disturbing the main [05:24] Techrights-sec2 session. [05:25] schestowitz I now assume overlapping session/s and thus won't change the size of the fonts/window, there's a nuisance flood as of late, about 1000 requests in 30-second bursts, demanding monthly archives all at once. Thankfully it stops after 1-2 minutes (with many visitors getting 5xx errors) [05:28] Techrights-sec2 Is that what's punding on the main page at the moment? [05:28] schestowitz No, it's pounding on wordpress monthly archives some times of the day [05:31] schestowitz Expect more sites to perish: phoronix, lxer, linuxtoday... to say news is slow this month is an understatement. We could use another project like past-digging. [05:34] Techrights-sec2 I really hope Phoronix survives. He was doing good work there, and still is. [05:34] Techrights-sec2 However, there is a larger push in politics to kill off the last of the independent sites. [05:34] Techrights-sec2 I hope that the Internet Archive has been getting copies of Lxer and Phoronix and LT etc [05:34] schestowitz Phoronix does Microsoft baiting sometimes [05:37] Techrights-sec2 Not so often but too often anyway. [05:37] Techrights-sec2 However, it has a lot of good material and could probably be convinced [05:37] Techrights-sec2 to slough off M$ shit. [05:37] Techrights-sec2 Entirely. [05:37] schestowitz I try to remind Michael; he says it's for "entertainment", but I suppose it means "traffic" (provoking a bit) [05:40] Techrights-sec2 If I recall correctly Michael has a lot of new financial burdens, too. [05:40] Techrights-sec2 new baby, wife lost job [05:43] Techrights-sec2 It's been happening everywhere for the last several years: [05:43] Techrights-sec2 https://yle.fi/uutiset/osasto/news/number_of_low-income_earners_has_risen/11706765 [05:43] -TechBytesBot/#techbytes-yle.fi | Number of low-income earners has risen | Yle Uutiset | yle.fi [05:49] schestowitz people still having large families even after 2008... makes no sense. No job security and no certain future for the kids [05:51] Techrights-sec2 Yes, those with any sense of responsibility back off, leaving mostly others to overpopulate. Harsh.
