●● IRC: #techrights @ Techrights IRC Network: Wednesday, September 08, 2021 ●● ● Sep 08 [00:06] DaemonFC I didn't like that just evaluating Ubuntu on Azure means sales cold calls from people at Canonical. [00:06] DaemonFC I haven't heard of this happening to anyone who spins up a VM on AWS. [00:07] DaemonFC Not saying Amazon is a terrific company, but AWS is more secure than Ubuntu and it doesn't seem like they hand you over to salesmen for simply evaluating their stuff. [00:07] DaemonFC *Ubuntu on Azure, that is... [00:08] DaemonFC Azure was cramming "services" into its Linux guests that were opening up serious holes, and then they would blame their customers for data leaks.

[00:09] DaemonFC In a meaningful way, at least. [00:10] DaemonFC If the CDC ha wanted to encourage vaccination, it probably wouldn't have implied that the vaccinated people who get breakthrough infections are every bit as contagious. [00:10] DaemonFC What it actually said, and this is an important distinction, is that peak viral load is roughly the same. [00:11] DaemonFC It did not suggest that the course of infection runs for 15 days or so and that the average viral load is the same as an unvaccinated patient. [00:11] DaemonFC Obviously, the course of the disease in unvaccinated patients is not the same, or they wouldn't be 95% of all hospitalizatons and 98% of all deaths.

[04:59] schestowitz-TR2 windows something? ● Sep 08 [05:01] DaemonFC schestowitz, Yes, Windows has a network tunneling service that's pretty generic. [05:01] DaemonFC VPN software on Windows doesn't run the tunnel in kernel space just yet, but might when Wireguard has a kernel module. [05:02] DaemonFC Whether you get it to work or not, PIA's Free Dumb Tech transition has left most of the servers almost unusable. [05:02] DaemonFC I was only getting a ping of under 300 ms on two of their servers, in the entire world, just now. [05:03] DaemonFC Those were Seattle and Atlanta, both at 98 ms. [05:03] DaemonFC When I tested throughput, PIA only had one server that could get about 5 Mbps. [05:03] DaemonFC That was Seattle at 16.48. [05:04] schestowitz-TR2 so maybe there is legal action [05:04] schestowitz-TR2 see the situation with protonmail [05:04] schestowitz-TR2 legal action may be sealed for now [05:04] schestowitz-TR2 we'll know more later [05:04] schestowitz-TR2 the canary here is the change of nodes [05:05] DaemonFC Well, it was only a matter of time before the lawsuit trolls went after the VPNs.

[05:14] schestowitz-TR2 yes, that's another thing [05:14] schestowitz-TR2 they aim at l0w-hanging fruit [05:14] schestowitz-TR2 like Rich Allen Jones [05:14] DaemonFC Google didn't recognize my FLAC music collection after I put it in tar format, even though I didn't compress or encrypt it.

[05:16] schestowitz-TR2 haha, that.. [05:16] DaemonFC He magically spun himself into Oprah fucking Winfrey almost.

[05:17] schestowitz-TR2 iirc, there were issues with it [05:18] DaemonFC Probably at least as "safe" as PIA with the looks of things lately.

[18:10] DaemonFC Or maybe it's "We have to suffer, everyone suffers.". I don't understand people, so maybe. [18:11] DaemonFC Jones said Abbott's statements were both confusing and disheartening. She said she'd "like to hear more" from Abbott on his statement on eliminating rape. [18:11] DaemonFC Well, the Supreme Court ruled against a Louisiana law making rape an offense punishable by death. [18:11] DaemonFC So unless they reverse themselves, which is possible I guess, there's no way to take out the garbage. [18:12] DaemonFC Anyway, the way Abbott said it, it sounds more like Duterte than trying to give them a fair trial followed by a bullet at sunrise. [18:13] DaemonFC Maybe the Republicans have come around and believe hashtag all women (because none have _ever_ lied about being raped, obviously). [18:13] DaemonFC If that's true, it's even scarier than it looks. [18:14] DaemonFC If you need so much goddamned evidence in an American courtroom that you have to be 99% sure, then it's odd, to say the least, that 86% of the people who go in there end up with a conviction or a plea deal. [18:14] DaemonFC I was talking about my traffic court case while I was getting my teeth cleaned this morning, schestowitz [18:14] DaemonFC One of the students said "Wow, how did they write the ticket if they weren't even there?". [18:15] DaemonFC I said, "Because few people have the time and money to go deal with it and so they just pay it and it's more money for the state. Of course, then your insurance rates skyrocket and you spend the next 5 years wishing you were never born.". [18:16] DaemonFC "They can write as many as they care to if 90% don't challenge it and just pay. If you never get your day in court and just pay, they don't have to go there and say anything to uphold it.". [18:17] DaemonFC A system that relies on spamming fines and counting that everyone is too snowed under with work and the children to contest them is illegitimate. [18:19] DaemonFC schestowitz, Did you read that TorrentFreak article about that guy in my home state of Indiana? [18:20] DaemonFC He went out and took a picture of downtown Indianapolis and basically just ran a photoshop filter on it to make it look "cool" and then posted it on the web. [18:20] DaemonFC He's gotten $850 in licensing money from it, and over $180,000 in settlements and lawsuit damages. [18:20] *alextee (~alextee@mk58ykzayey9s.irc) has joined #techrights [18:21] DaemonFC Not bad for a guy who went out and took a picture and then ran it through a Photoshop filter. [18:21] DaemonFC $190,000 out of maybe an hour of effort, total, counting the drive down there to take the picture. [18:22] DaemonFC His latest victim was a bank, and so of course this would be the part where the federal court goes "Well, they didn't mean to infringe on a copyright, so we'll impose the minimum damages of $200.". [18:42] kingoffrance yeah, thats how you lose at court: dont show up [18:43] kingoffrance if you dont contest something, it is all assumed true, the end [18:47] DaemonFC Yes, that's what happens. Civil court especially. [18:48] DaemonFC I could go in there and make a 20 page complaint against someone where every single line is bullshit. [18:48] DaemonFC And if they fail to respond to every single item, the court assumes whatever they didn't respond to is true. [18:49] DaemonFC kingoffrance, It's usually best to reply to a litany of complaints against you with an item by item "Defendant has no knowledge pertaining to this accusation and therefore denies the same.". [18:50] DaemonFC My ex went out into a field in Indiana a few years ago and starting firing a shotgun. [18:50] DaemonFC Some of the pellets struck a senior citizen. [18:51] DaemonFC My ex later pleaded the charges down to probation on reckless endangerment and unlawful use of a weapon. [18:51] DaemonFC The guy sued him claiming emotional distress, pain and suffering, and for his medical bills. [18:51] DaemonFC So he got an attorney and the response to the lawsuit basically read as if he hadn't even been there and didn't recall any of it. [18:51] DaemonFC Eventually the lawsuit got dismissed. [18:52] DaemonFC The thing is, after being shot, and there being a felony plea deal, I think Mr. What's his name had a good case. [18:53] DaemonFC But if you can just stall them until they can't afford to pursue it, you can mitigate the fallout. [18:53] DaemonFC If not outright compel them to give up. [18:59] DaemonFC schestowitz, I put this on Facebook, WGN's wall. [18:59] DaemonFC "The IBM Weather Channel suggested donating to the WHO. I laughed. [18:59] DaemonFC The same WHO that helped Chinese propaganda along and tried to cover up the origins of COVID, and hasn't given the United States a single dime's worth of anything in exchange for all of the billions they get from us. That WHO?" ● Sep 08 [19:00] DaemonFC Now they want us to pause booster shots because other countries fucked up big time on their own vaccination strategy and we're supposed to pay Pfizer the rate we negotiated and then hand it all over to someone else, for free.

[19:13] DaemonFC Guess I can test this new Instant Pot lid they sent me. [19:13] DaemonFC Now with 100% less kaboomboom, hopefully. [19:14] DaemonFC The instant pot can take chicken breasts that are completely frozen and cook them all the way through in under 5 minutes. [19:15] DaemonFC Then you'd just dump whatever water was left under the metal thingy and take the metal out, make the chicken mixture for the slow cooker recipe, and then assemble everything back into the pot and set it on slow cook mode. [19:15] DaemonFC schestowitz, I'm not buying any meat for a few months. [19:15] DaemonFC By the time we'll need to fill the freezer up again, grocery stores will be the 5% category on my discover card for that quarter. [19:15] schestowitz 5% is small [19:16] schestowitz rianne just got like 80% off [19:16] DaemonFC Aldi tends to have a ton of markdowns on Tuesdays around here though, and they're coded as a grocery store. [19:16] DaemonFC So you'd earn the 5% on whatever the marked down price was to begin with. [19:16] DaemonFC Discover caps their possible bonus payouts. [19:17] DaemonFC If you look closely, you stop earning 5% on that quarter's categories after a $1,500 spend. [19:17] DaemonFC So if you get gas and groceries one quarter and you hit $1,500, you may as well just go to another card if it's your next best one.

[19:55] MinceR what the previous russian empire copied and what they copied it from [19:56] activelow MinceR: and historical records tell a different story, which was soviets preferred a unified germany after 1945 and west-germany introduced a separate currency first, before east-germany did [19:57] activelow nonetheless, without doubt did eastern population flee into the west before the wall was built, which i do not defend, just saying west-germany introduced a separate currency first [19:57] MinceR councils preferred a unified germany after forcing their economic system on the part they controlled and taking everything from it that wasn't nailed down? [19:57] MinceR that's probably the same way north korea prefers a unified korea today [19:57] MinceR unified _under their rule_ [19:57] *alextee (~alextee@fu9znh3xmsrue.irc) has joined #techrights [19:57] activelow korea isn't germany, discuss this separately please [19:58] MinceR east germany and north korea were both stalinist dictatorships [19:58] MinceR east germany under the control of the previous russian empire [19:58] activelow i was born 1981, in east germany, and after 1990 former teachers and university staff didn't simply disappear [19:59] activelow MinceR: but let me say in defense of some former university professors i remember, these were not stalinists [19:59] MinceR what were they, then? ● Sep 08 [20:00] activelow simply speaking? competent. [20:00] MinceR lol [20:00] MinceR yeah, i look at the design of the trabant and the word that comes to mind is "competent" [20:00] activelow i mean, some of the lectures were, space alien level maths and science, yet this wasn't separated into east or west in year 2001 and later [20:00] MinceR or when i read about how there was an entire industry about taking brand new eastern bloc "cars" and fixing them at the workshop [20:01] MinceR because stalinists don't know (or care) what quality assurance is [20:01] activelow on a side note, western books forget to mention besides shannon and nyquist some other scientist existed: Kotelnikov [20:02] *alextee has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) [20:02] activelow MinceR: what is your obsession with the car industry? are you comparing 1950s designs with some from year 2010? [20:03] MinceR no, the fact that they kept making 1950s designs all the way to 1990 was their fault [20:03] *psydruid hails MinceR, the true emperor of Wolfburg and Munich [20:03] psydruid Wolfsburg* [20:03] MinceR QA isn't even a question of when it was designed [20:03] MinceR psydruid: lol [20:03] MinceR psydruid: if i'm their emperor, i'm shutting down the german car industry [20:03] activelow wrong MinceR, east-germany did develop modern type vehicles, such as Wartburg Knight with modern four-stroke engine, but it didn't went into production because central committee didn't want to [20:04] activelow and, east-german motor-cycles even won some international offroad cross competition, MZ iirc [20:04] MinceR and the central committee is not part of the stalinist system? [20:04] activelow the IFA Ludwigsfelde Trucks and Engiens were shipped *globally* in excess high demand around the globe [20:04] MinceR also, the great achievement of the stalinist system is supposed to be that they managed to build a four-stroke engine? [20:04] MinceR pretty much everyone managed to build a four-stroke engine. [20:05] MinceR in the "west" this was not seen as a crowning achievement [20:05] activelow to my knowledge east-germany wasn't stalinist [20:05] MinceR yeah, some of the stuff was shipped globally because it was _cheap_ [20:05] MinceR because it was made by poorly paid slaves [20:05] MinceR similarly how now nearly everything is made in red china [20:05] MinceR by poorly paid slaves [20:06] activelow being told their products were crap, and then sold on western markets with a margin surplus, this was the trick [20:06] activelow you won't convince me Z80 era chips are crap, neither the USA ones nor the east-german ones [20:06] activelow and the belarusian Elektronika calculators are remarkable achievements too [20:07] MinceR what was remarkable about them? [20:07] activelow they exist, manufactured domestically [20:07] MinceR i guess that's the difference [20:07] activelow see this MinceR : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LC80#Export_version [20:07] -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-en.wikipedia.org | LC80 - Wikipedia [20:08] MinceR on one side, such products are manufactured and compete for profit; on the other, the mere existence of one product is the achievement [20:08] MinceR (and it was achieved by copying the others) [20:08] activelow pardon? it was UK who asked east-germany to ship some LC80 educational computer [20:09] MinceR activelow: in 1984 there were far better personal computers available than the LC80 [20:10] activelow sure, the LC80 wasn't a mainframe system, which were manufactured too; it was an educational computer [20:10] MinceR compare it to this, for example >> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZX_Spectrum [20:10] -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-en.wikipedia.org | ZX Spectrum - Wikipedia [20:10] MinceR (from 2 years earlier) [20:10] activelow why then didn't UK order those, instead of LC80? [20:11] MinceR probably because of the price [20:11] activelow and, maybe, documentation? who knows, i don't. the manufacturing and eduction for this is defunct.
