[03:38] CrystalMath if you want [03:38] CrystalMath well you don't use irc.com [03:38] CrystalMath the website [03:38] CrystalMath which may require a cloudflare captcha that is non-free, i guess [03:38] CrystalMath but most of the time there is no difference [03:39] XRevan86 CrystalMath: That's a very niche use-case. [03:39] CrystalMath the irc.com thing can also be used as an API, btw [03:39] XRevan86 So "worthless" is still a word I would use. [03:39] CrystalMath well i mean schestowitz said he wants registrations from IRC not the web [03:39] CrystalMath so.... there you go :P [03:41] XRevan86 CrystalMath: Takes a lot of imagination. [03:42] XRevan86 "there you go" I doubt an answer "yes, but actually no" is going to satisfy %). [03:43] XRevan86 - There's no entrance. [03:43] XRevan86 - See this whole in the fence? That's technically an entrance. [03:43] XRevan86 * hole (ugh) [03:44] schestowitz [03:39] well i mean schestowitz said he wants registrations from IRC not the web [03:44] schestowitz it's not freenode.net [03:44] schestowitz they just have a knowledgebase there [03:45] schestowitz Lee wants to furnish his bubble [03:45] schestowitz app and fancy domain [03:45] schestowitz he thinks he can 'blackmail' users to do so [03:45] schestowitz by denying them access to channel they frequent [03:45] schestowitz "can't talk to these people until you add your name to my other SSO" [03:46] schestowitz "no friends!" [03:46] XRevan86 schestowitz: The answer to that is Andrew is merging these properties together. [03:46] schestowitz these are facebook tactics [03:46] schestowitz the zuckerberg modus operandi [03:46] schestowitz Andew Zuck [03:46] schestowitz XRevan86: without consulting anyone who uses freenode [03:46] schestowitz he's messing about with actual freenode communities [03:47] schestowitz to sell another failing venture [03:47] schestowitz so to hell with himmm [03:47] XRevan86 I'm expecting Andrew to diminish the role of the freenode domains further down the line. [03:47] schestowitz what after this? [03:47] schestowitz He keeps knocking down the house [03:47] schestowitz bans of channels [03:47] CrystalMath schestowitz: you only need SASL [03:47] schestowitz bans of people [03:47] CrystalMath you don't need to register on irc.com again [03:47] CrystalMath as we said [03:47] schestowitz dumping the whole network DB [03:47] schestowitz nor pushing people to join some site they never asked foir [03:47] schestowitz with an email address [03:47] CrystalMath and also if you register on NickServ you get an irc.com account [03:48] schestowitz many used freenode without ever supplying an email address [03:48] CrystalMath so the SASL-only isn't really about that [03:48] schestowitz some used tor and never gave an ip address either [03:48] schestowitz but kape is harvesting people's names [03:48] schestowitz kape [03:48] CrystalMath tor was blocked on freenode [03:48] schestowitz the "lesser NSO Grou" [03:48] schestowitz f them! [03:48] CrystalMath there was only a tor-sasl gateway [03:49] CrystalMath you needed an email to use freenode with tor [03:49] CrystalMath always [03:49] XRevan86 schestowitz: When ye said that Libera is a young network and ye don't know what to expect of it, I replied that it's freenode that I actually don't know what to expect from, or rather that I expect the unexpected from it. [03:49] CrystalMath schestowitz: and the same applies to libraria [03:49] XRevan86 schestowitz: I don't think this is the last change. [03:49] schestowitz they are both unknowns [03:49] CrystalMath schestowitz: also, liberal.crap also has SASL-only IP ranges now [03:50] CrystalMath as well as tor which is SASL-only [03:50] schestowitz so they turn IRC into proprietary crap [03:50] schestowitz count me out [03:50] schestowitz (I known sasl is not proprietary) [03:51] schestowitz coming soon, freenode "IS IRC [03:51] schestowitz then "IS IRC.COM" [03:51] schestowitz Then "IS APP" [03:51] schestowitz Kape.app [03:51] XRevan86 CrystalMath: Didn't know that. How many are there? [03:51] CrystalMath it's called "irc.com by freenode" [03:51] CrystalMath XRevan86: my CGNAT for example [03:51] schestowitz join today, the malware is free of charge [03:51] schestowitz run by casino charlatans like adelson [03:51] schestowitz MAGA.IRC [03:51] CrystalMath XRevan86: also a friend of mine from mexico encountered it too [03:51] schestowitz Teddy Adelson Lee [03:52] CrystalMath not that i want to connect there [03:52] MinceR 01 043530 < CrystalMath> (anyone's existing connection, NickServ still allows you to logout and register another account) [03:52] MinceR not terribly practical [03:52] CrystalMath rather, i accidentally almost opened their webchat from a link, but it didn't connect :P [03:52] schestowitz I wasted like 50 hours on the freenode mess [03:52] schestowitz I've quit investing any further effort [03:52] schestowitz e.g. in logging in [03:52] CrystalMath which is fortunate since i don't want to connect to liberal.crap [03:52] schestowitz all those access restrictions in recent months [03:53] schestowitz when people are "THE PRODUCT" they have no use for bots [03:53] XRevan86 CrystalMath: Do ye have insight into what the plans for the brands are? So far the scope of them is becoming merky. [03:53] schestowitz no data to harvest to brainwash people [03:53] schestowitz or to sell their profile [03:53] schestowitz they could put an SSO in freenode.net [03:54] schestowitz the choice of another domain is revealing [03:54] schestowitz by the time they make the next move they might just have 5,000 actual users left [03:54] CrystalMath XRevan86: no i don't know [03:54] CrystalMath i know that irc.com is called "irc.com by freenode" [03:54] schestowitz in 10k rooms (formerly known a "channels") [03:54] CrystalMath and the messages seem to say that freenode owns irc.com [03:54] CrystalMath btw you know that christel mentioned irc.com like years ago? [03:54] XRevan86 CrystalMath: The choice of the domain name implies that it's "freenode by irc.com", not the other way around. [03:54] CrystalMath in 2018 [03:55] schestowitz Lee needs to talk about his plans [03:55] MinceR do they matter at this point? [03:55] schestowitz it's clear they steer the cattle towards some eventuality [03:55] CrystalMath a lot of these changes are not *that* new.... [03:55] MinceR one misstep follows another and the network haemorrhages users [03:55] schestowitz without disclosing it upfront [03:55] CrystalMath it's just that for some reason, changes are being done very quickly on freenode now [03:55] schestowitz and that might explain why they didn't convert the DB when changing to another ircd [03:55] XRevan86 CrystalMath: They are sudden and unannounced. [03:56] MinceR and stupid [03:56] CrystalMath XRevan86: that's one thing that i can't really understand [03:56] schestowitz CrystalMath: that's why I quit chasing [03:56] schestowitz and afaik freenode is now doomed [03:56] schestowitz it's not even financially viable anymore [03:56] MinceR The Doomed Dimension [03:56] XRevan86 Even the reset had no prior warning. [03:57] CrystalMath XRevan86: well rasengan was talking about that for a week [03:57] schestowitz 10k users who come to channels to say "NIGGER. OOPS. WRONG CHANNEL" are NOT an aset [03:57] schestowitz *asset [03:57] CrystalMath XRevan86: it's just a lot of people didn't seem to... believe it... how should i say [03:57] schestowitz they're a liability unless he wants another parler [03:57] CrystalMath Ariadne was there and said that it's crazy [03:57] schestowitz which maybe is what he envies [03:57] XRevan86 CrystalMath: In #freenode? Sure, the whole 50K population of freenode was there to witness that. [03:57] schestowitz saying that "those fuckers stole [the election from Trump" [03:58] CrystalMath i was there and i just said that i think it would be better if the database was migrated [03:58] XRevan86 CrystalMath: Crazy doesn't mean not true. [03:58] schestowitz [03:56] Even the reset had no prior warning. [03:58] schestowitz weekend too [03:58] schestowitz iirc [03:58] schestowitz or maybe Sunday [03:58] CrystalMath XRevan86: so in the end, it happened exactly as it was said [03:59] XRevan86 CrystalMath: A message in #freenode is not heads-up. [03:59] schestowitz except no users [03:59] CrystalMath XRevan86: there was a global notice but it was a short notice [03:59] schestowitz no users, no value [03:59] schestowitz and our channel in freenode is no longer accessible [03:59] XRevan86 CrystalMath: And it was a day prior at best. [03:59] CrystalMath schestowitz: hmm? [03:59] schestowitz must register an account in some dodgy KAPE site [03:59] schestowitz I might remove that from our IRC landing page soon ● Aug 01 [04:00] schestowitz we need IRC that people can access without an account [04:00] schestowitz freenode is now unfit for purpose [04:00] schestowitz unless this requirement is just temporary [04:01] XRevan86 CrystalMath: It would be nice to know if IRC.com is actually associated with freenode, Ltd. I suspect that it is. [04:01] CrystalMath i think so [04:01] CrystalMath but i don't know [04:03] XRevan86 schestowitz: I really don't think that's temporary. [04:04] XRevan86 CrystalMath: It definitely wasn't before, so the question is whether Andrew did the work to transfer it. [04:05] XRevan86 It's a bit of a sole owner, so he may not have bothered with such details of ownership.

I haven't actually seen *any* justification whatsoever. [04:09] schestowitz just to access a channel [04:09] schestowitz we already cloak IPs here [04:10] XRevan86 schestowitz: I agree with that. [04:11] schestowitz I will change the "Freenode (More Open and Bigger)" [04:11] sears_hardware Well, apparently he unbanned irccloud after claiming on l0de radio interview it's a permanent ban [04:12] sears_hardware And I'm confused because he talked like a stoner on l0de radio but his official announcments are very articulate https://freenode.net/news/on-free-speech [04:12] -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-freenode.net | On Free Speech - freenode [04:12] XRevan86 sears_hardware: He did? Hm, I guess mandatory registration makes that ban even more silly [04:13] XRevan86 sears_hardware: I noticed that also,but all the sentiments are there. [04:14] *psydruid (~psydruid@jevhxkzmtrbww.irc) has joined #techrights [04:14] XRevan86 sears_hardware: The way he was writing in this channel was okay too. [04:14] sears_hardware well, i just don't know what he does all day [04:15] XRevan86 Either it's a difference because of verbal communication, or it was an act. Can't really tell. [04:15] sears_hardware and i'm not sure it's anything [04:15] XRevan86 Or he got some influence just before the interview. [04:16] *schestowitz sniffs [04:16] schestowitz anyway, page updated [04:16] schestowitz the main issue is technical [04:16] schestowitz no anonymous access, no endorsement [04:16] schestowitz even matrix, I think, would not go this far [04:17] schestowitz e-mail address to access random irc channels [04:17] schestowitz gn [04:17] schestowitz http://techrights.org/irc-channel/ [04:17] -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-techrights.org | IRC Channels | Techrights [04:17] XRevan86 schestowitz: Thanks, that looks good. [04:18] *job (~job@xzsyrtk7jque2.irc) has joined #techrights [04:22] XRevan86 sears_hardware: Let's just say, he is known for having been influenced, so that's not really a surprise. But that doesn't fully explain the big difference in expression. [04:23] XRevan86 sears_hardware: But people who talked to him more than I did (including schestowitz) have a different opinion. [04:24] XRevan86 sears_hardware: So it probably just depends on the circumstance of his state of mind. [04:25] XRevan86 (how many more euphemisms can I employ? one will never know as I'm going to sleep :P) [04:25] sears_hardware i don't care what he does in his free time but he disappaers from freenode for weeks at a time [04:25] sears_hardware he comes in a writes an epic blog post and i go sign up for remotes and it's cool then it's crickets [04:26] XRevan86 sears_hardware: Doesn't he chat in #freenode, I got that impression from CrystalMath. [04:27] CrystalMath well not every day [04:27] CrystalMath and i'm not there every day either [04:28] XRevan86 sears_hardware: So, could ye find an application for Remotes? [04:28] sears_hardware "he", the man, chats in #freenode, yes [04:28] sears_hardware but "he", the leader, does not perform leaderly duties consistently [04:29] sears_hardware XRevan86: well it's essentially a node.js shell so you could use it to perform any application you wanted [04:29] sears_hardware you could write your node.js code outside of it and paste it in and also run it elsewhere [04:29] sears_hardware the possibilities are endless ... but that also makes creativity difficult since constraints can actually improve creativity [04:30] XRevan86 sears_hardware: Making something Turing complete can have that effect. [04:30] sears_hardware the problem is it's launched and then abandoned [04:31] sears_hardware there's not a consistent continual investment by a leader [04:31] sears_hardware if it were literally the only website on the internet then yeah i could do a lot with it [04:31] sears_hardware but with so many alternative places to spend my time why focus on something that's abandoned [04:31] XRevan86 sears_hardware: That's kind of the problem, Remotes is not special. [04:31] sears_hardware it doesn't have to be special [04:31] sears_hardware it just has to have someone that cares [04:32] sears_hardware if someone cared and was there on the daily helping it grow it could become special or branch into special things [04:32] sears_hardware but the leader just releases and abandons it [04:32] sears_hardware that can't grow [04:32] XRevan86 I have a VPS, so I'm not really looking for such sandboxes, but I know they are around in plenty. [04:33] sears_hardware maybe i should apply to become remotes steward [04:34] sears_hardware there's some speculation as to how much wealth the crown prince actually has [04:34] XRevan86 sears_hardware: Why should anyone use that over some IRC bot on node.js executed in a sandbox? Maybe even on Shells itself. [04:34] sears_hardware shells.com has no free tier [04:34] sears_hardware remotes does :) [04:35] XRevan86 Oh, I've no idea what Shells is for either then :D [04:37] sears_hardware XRevan86: it's virtual (graphical) desktop [04:37] sears_hardware XRevan86: https://media.ccc.de/v/3519-live-keynote-by-alex-lee-and-zlatan-todoric-from-shells-com here is the crown prince's brother giving an official talk about it at openSUSE conference [04:38] -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-media.ccc.de - Live: Keynote by Alex Lee and Zlatan Todoric from shells.com [04:42] XRevan86 sears_hardware: Whatever, let's go back to Remotes. The way I imagine something like that would work is bits of code saved as applets of sorts and then been executed indefinitely or periodically. [04:42] sears_hardware XRevan86: yes my remotes irc bot stays online all day [04:42] sears_hardware and i can even save data to disk across restarts [04:43] XRevan86 sears_hardware: How much freedom does it have? It's Turing complete and probably even with Internet access. [04:44] XRevan86 That has potential for disaster. So there must be some barrier, otherwise it would have exploded by now. [04:44] sears_hardware well, no one uses it [04:45] XRevan86 sears_hardware: I did account for that in my line of questioning :) [04:46] XRevan86 But use for practical purposes is one thing and trying to break it is another. [04:47] XRevan86 What stops one from downloading illegal materials using Shells network, saving it to storage and then reporting to the authorities all in one script? [04:48] sears_hardware XRevan86: well you have to have an account to use remotes and that account could be traced back to you [04:48] XRevan86 sears_hardware: Ah, right, the "I agree to be sensible" thing. [04:49] XRevan86 I can see how that scenario is someone not being sensible. [04:49] sears_hardware well it doesn't matter if i am not sensible if they can point the finger at me then i face the punishment [04:50] XRevan86 sears_hardware: IP and email addresses are impossible to mitigate as we know. [04:50] sears_hardware XRevan86: versus a state level actor i would say so [04:52] XRevan86 sears_hardware: What if the report is not immediate. [04:54] XRevan86 But that's just the most obvious way of exploitation. The possibilities are limitless, after all. [04:54] sears_hardware yes they are [04:55] sears_hardware luckily for remotes my attention span is not limitless [04:55] XRevan86 sears_hardware: The Elusive Joe principle saves one's arse yet again.

[19:13] DaemonFC I finally spoke with one of the higher level people at my online bank and they made an exception to the no non-US citizens policy for Mandy. [19:13] DaemonFC I had to give them a copy of his green card to pull that off though. [19:14] DaemonFC So he may be one of the few permanent US residents that has an account there. [19:14] DaemonFC It operates more like a credit union than a bank, so there's interest and they don't have those crazy nuisance fees. [19:15] DaemonFC The interest on a deposit account will never come close to overcoming inflation, but it will lessen the beating while you need to keep that money liquid. [19:16] DaemonFC schestowitz, element.io went offline for about an hour today due to a ClownFlare error. [19:17] DaemonFC activelow, The inflation in the US is getting to where I'd call it hyperinflation. [19:17] DaemonFC There's no precise definition of that term, but loosely once it gets over 15% you've got hyperinflation. [19:18] DaemonFC Meat and seafood prices have gotten there, and so have some packaged foods. [19:18] DaemonFC Rent is increasing at a rate of about 6-7% locally on an annual basis. Gasoline is up 40%, or about 10% if you take into account why it was so cheap last year (nobody driving). [19:19] DaemonFC Overall, I'd say real inflation in the US right now feels closer to 10% on average, which is much higher than the government will fess up to. [19:20] DaemonFC The only restaurant we've been frequenting is the Chinese one for lunch. [19:20] DaemonFC They subsidize the buffet food by running a casino in the building [19:21] DaemonFC So it's the cheapest way by far of getting a lot of good sushi. [19:21] DaemonFC The casino returns so little money to the gamblers that luring people in with cheap buffet food that makes low margins is the business model. [19:22] DaemonFC So the price model isn't the food. That means that the prices haven't gone up.

[21:03] DaemonFC Coal has gotten so expensive that they can't sell it into the PJM interconnection and are scrambling to close coal plants early. [21:03] DaemonFC One shuts down next year in Waukegan, 5 years ahead of schedule. [21:04] activelow electricity is ~30cents here, petrol/gasoline ~1.50Euros [21:04] DaemonFC Even after Illinois shuts down all but its last coal plant, the state will be a net exporter of electricity. [21:04] activelow per kWh, and per litr [21:04] DaemonFC There will still be one major one that's running for years down by the St. Louis area. [21:05] DaemonFC But that's pretty remarkable. The state went from having a couple dozen to just 1 in under 20 years. [21:05] DaemonFC The growth is in solar and wind. [21:06] techrights-ipfs-bot IPFS downstream, 60 mins: avg(k/sec) 27.15 IPFS upstream: avg(k/sec) 26.75 swarm size (avg): 283.65 [21:06] DaemonFC The state has been passing laws to implement the requirements of the Paris Agreement on itself for a while now, even while Trump was in the middle of his term. [21:06] DaemonFC So what he wanted to do was not as relevant as it seemed. [21:06] activelow seems electricity in illinois is on 30% of german prices, same with gasoline/petrol, at least +60% to go for you USA [21:06] DaemonFC The states have more collective control over energy policy, and so right away you have 23 states and many cities that wanted Paris and then coal was becoming unprofitable everywhere anyway. [21:07] DaemonFC Thus shutting down in red states. [21:08] activelow what an irony it is USA minions dictating policy here in germany, to increase energy prices further [21:09] activelow DaemonFC: imagine if your bills for electricity and gasoline trippled, and this wouldn't be inflation, only alignment to international agreements [21:13] DaemonFC The US doesn't make agreements that bind itself to do anything. [21:13] DaemonFC Then it says it pulls out of them because other countries aren't binding themselves to do anything. [21:14] DaemonFC So we'd be at a competitive disadvantage if we didn't renege on our handshake agreement. [21:14] DaemonFC Then the election goes the other way because 2-3% of the voters changed their mind once they got a whiff of that guy, and the deal's back on, at least for a few years. [21:16] DaemonFC Republican Governors would love to be able to sabotage the plan to shutter coal, but they can't do much about it because other states and, for now, the feds, are putting pressure on the market to make the financial side of things unworkable no matter how you cut it. [21:17] DaemonFC If the market price of coal collapses then that actually corrects for itself because you'll be in a situation where there's too many companies mining it and bidding for less buyers, and then they all pile into bankruptcy court. [21:17] DaemonFC Then the price skyrockets because less of them survive and there's less competition, leading to higher prices. [21:18] DaemonFC Same thing is happening with gasoline. We're still at fewer vehicle miles traveled, but the price has surged. [21:18] DaemonFC While demand plummeted last year, many producers which were on the knife's edge went under and nobody has replaced them yet. [21:19] DaemonFC The demand for per-mile car insurance has gone up to the point where what was one company with me as an early adopter in 2016 is now 5 companies, and 3 of them are major ones doing business in every state. [21:19] DaemonFC If you travel less than 16,000 miles per year, you're probably being overcharged if you pay a flat rate. If you travel fewer than 10,000 you're probably being massively overcharged. [21:20] DaemonFC But the cost of correcting the overcharged situation is privacy, which is worth something. But how much? [21:20] DaemonFC In my case, I can cut my car insurance by over 67% by paying for miles, not a flat fee. [21:21] DaemonFC I have to plug a thing into the car though, but that's too big of a price spread to ignore. Especially with my credit. schestowitz talked about this a bit with me the other day. [21:21] DaemonFC Anyway, these per mile policies are starting to be the one they try to sell unless you opt into a flat rate. [21:21] DaemonFC And once you see what that is, you'll plug the thing in, most likely. [21:22] DaemonFC Few people have the kind of commute anymore where they'd be money ahead by flat rate where their insurance just bills them and doesn't know anything much about their driving. [21:24] activelow i was thinking about inflation you referred to, just saying, USA isn't anywhere close to where it belongs: +60% for electricity and gasoline, as a rough estimate [21:24] *psydroid_ has quit (connection closed) [21:26] activelow and it was a masterpiece of propaganda, to funnel cash into Tesla/USA as a "climate change" protection policy, them selling carbon certificates worth billions [21:28] activelow and since german politics and news channels are under total control of USA they supported this, coordinated fake news, not at least mentioning Tesla generated most of the cash flow with scam carbon certificates [21:29] activelow in parallel USA minions posing as "journalists" and "eco activists" incited the youth ("fridays for future"), under the banner of "alliance90/green", to protest against Northstream2 [21:30] activelow to sabotage Energy supply, in the interest of Burisma/London and the Biden clan [21:34] *sepsinn has quit (Quit: WeeChat 3.2) [21:35] activelow "Atlantik-Brcke is the leading private non-profit association to promote German-American understanding and Atlanticism" [21:35] DaemonFC https://9to5mac.com/2021/07/30/m1-macbook-screen-cracks/?fbclid=IwAR24kInb4aDfDy-1Tq_xHIBfntOVOgLImjqs3qJURHz2WTna02bqnMNkOk4 [21:35] -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-M1 MacBook screen cracks occurring during normal usage - 9to5Mac [21:35] DaemonFC MinceR, ^ [21:36] DaemonFC I commented, "So much for the social climbers and their expensive new toy.". [21:38] activelow "non-profit", with affiliations to Blackrock Capital and Goldman, this is the ones pulling the strings here [21:39] activelow wasn't aware up until recently how corrupt Merkel was, when she pushed for "London Agreement" with "European" patents [21:40] activelow little surprising, given here prominent association with USA and whose interests she served [21:40] activelow Merkel supporting a patent system which doesn't require German language translation anymore at least [21:42] DaemonFC Blackrock and Goldman are requiring employees to go back to the office, vaccinated, or resign. [21:43] DaemonFC But that's turning into almost every company that has offices. It seems many of them failed to learn that offices are expensive and pointless, and the company is operated by people looking to get things back to normal where they can have expensive and pointless offices. [21:43] DaemonFC schestowitz-TR, ^ [21:43] DaemonFC Some company took advantage of the fact that so much office space is now unrentable, probably indefinitely, in Chicago. [21:44] DaemonFC They moved in and put a massive server farm in it, and then put fans on the roof that create so much noise that nobody in the expensive condos for three blocks or so can even sleep anymore. [21:44] DaemonFC It's just a constant overwhelming hum that the city isn't doing much about. [21:45] DaemonFC Since there's mortgages on the condos and nobody wants to live in a condo where there's noise, and the real estate market in Chicago is going to bottom out when the real estate market fails soon anyway, they're stuck there even though they can't sleep. [21:46] DaemonFC The eviction moratorium is over. The gravy train ended yesterday. [21:46] DaemonFC Time to pay up or get out.

[22:52] DaemonFC These say they're "moisture wicking". [22:52] DaemonFC So hopefully they'll be more comfortable. [22:53] DaemonFC I think the mask mandate is going to come back and I think that being vaccinated now only helps to some extent. [22:53] DaemonFC It's pretty clear that the vaccine protection isn't as good with this as with what we were dealing with just 3-4 months ago. [22:54] DaemonFC The Delta variant is now 85% of what they end up finding if they examine it further in most areas of the US. [22:57] AdmFubar the vaccines work... too many are not getting them... those are the ones having the most issues [22:59] DaemonFC Like MinceR said.
