[00:06]	activelow	it is extremely aggressive marketing, what they are planning
[00:06]	schestowitz	cults
[00:07]	psydroid	a dying hardware industry colluding with a producer of vapourware to get people to spent money to do the same things as before with even less freedom
[00:07]	schestowitz	The US government hopes to pull this off
[00:07]	schestowitz	it'll help Microsoft and APple
[00:07]	schestowitz	while attacking our community
[00:07]	schestowitz	they already give bailouts
[00:07]	schestowitz	to those corporations
[00:07]	schestowitz	china meanwhile moves to gnu/linux
[00:08]	schestowitz	its whole space program for instance

[00:09]	schestowitz	activelow:  cubexyz: help me proofread, see if you spot typos
[00:09]	psydroid	they are even writing games to work on gnu/linux as a first class citizen
[00:10]	cubexyz/fn	I'm thinking of setting up an android-x86 box
[00:11]	cubexyz/fn	schestowitz, reading it now
[00:11]	cubexyz/fn	maybe mention the i8042 problems people are having with win10, it's quite bad
[00:11]	activelow	schestowitz: i am reading many of your articles, didn't spot any typos yet.
[00:15]	psydroid	"GNU/Linux has fallen for it" <- have
[00:15]	schestowitz	I found two typos, yes
[00:16]	activelow	schestowitz: i had noticed your voice recordings are leveled too hot in all of your videos.

[00:17]	activelow	1) this causes clipping of your voice, and 2) i have to lower the volume control slider here to 0.01% and it is too loud nonetheless.
[00:18]	schestowitz	it's because of noisetorch
[00:18]	schestowitz	I use a microphone on the laptop
[00:18]	activelow	if you want it leveled hot it should be lowered -6dB, for normal levels -12dB or more
[00:18]	schestowitz	and the only way to avoid noise it to set threshold
[00:18]		*DaemonFC (~daemonfc@j9iikgjuywgjc.irc) has joined #techrights
[00:19]	cubexyz/fn	there's a typo in an old article, Frank Boorman should be Frank Boosman
[00:19]	schestowitz	I was going to buy a 'proper' mic
[00:19]	cubexyz/fn	searching Be stuff from 1999
[00:19]	schestowitz	which article?
[00:19]	cubexyz/fn	"We need to turn the spotlight on the hyenas"
[00:19]	cubexyz/fn	I'll get the URL
[00:19]	schestowitz	the clipping of the voice is due to noisetorch

[00:22]	activelow	bs1770gain utility can analyze dozens of streams and level audio to EBU128-norm (or hotter if you like, at least you knew then where your recordings hoover)
[00:23]	schestowitz	cubexyz corrected  now

[00:26]	activelow	the audio issue is more distracting
[00:26]	schestowitz	i know
[00:27]	activelow	schestowitz: if you want i can pipe your videos through a script and renormalize them, can't fix the clipping
[00:28]	schestowitz	I'd need a proper mic for better audio
[00:29]	schestowitz	but...
[00:29]	schestowitz	they're expensive
[00:29]	cubexyz/fn	dynamic mic (share sm58) then XLR to USB adapter
[00:29]	activelow	schestowitz: here is the script i fiddled together to recursively traverse directories and regain volume levels
[00:29]	activelow	https://dpaste.org/ccv4
[00:29]		-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-dpaste.org | dpaste/ccv4 (Bash)
[00:30]	activelow	all you need is bs1770gain, don't know if it is in debian repos
[00:30]	activelow	before recording it is important audio signal does not clip
[00:31]	activelow	and later then bs1770gain can raise or drop a few decibels without damaging the audio
[00:31]	schestowitz	I think it's based on a misunderstanding 
[00:31]	schestowitz	the pipeline is like this
[00:31]	schestowitz	sit close to laptop
[00:32]	schestowitz	eliminate all sound below a threshold
[00:32]	schestowitz	speak loudly
[00:32]	schestowitz	and this way the noise is mostly removed
[00:32]	schestowitz	no video editing or filtering, as that slows things down
[00:34]	activelow	it is post-processing, leveling down the microphone slider maybe 3dB should help alot with clipping
[00:34]		*DaemonFC has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s)
[00:34]	activelow	clipping doesn't remove the noise anyway
[00:35]	schestowitz	or maybe one day I'll buy an expensive mic
[00:35]	schestowitz	I tried to find some second hand
[00:35]	cubexyz/fn	if anything microsoft are the hyenas
[00:35]	schestowitz	could not find any around here, and there's coronavirus limiting access
[00:35]	schestowitz	activelow: thanks for the suggestions, I will consider them
[00:35]	schestowitz	the core issue is, the microphone is cheap built-in crap
[00:36]	schestowitz	buying a not expensive one isn't the solution
[00:36]	activelow	i think almost any microphone closer to the audio emitter (mouth) should help alot already
[00:36]	schestowitz	as it would cost money for only a  minor improvement, not a real solution
[00:36]	activelow	and avoiding clipping during recording
[00:36]	schestowitz	but anyway, I also think what matters most is not the audio
[00:36]	schestowitz	I already recompress it in the pipeline
[00:37]	schestowitz	so the sound quality will go down regardless
[00:37]	schestowitz	for the sake of transfer speed
[00:37]	schestowitz	this latest video was 200MB originally
[00:37]	schestowitz	reduced to about 50
[00:37]	schestowitz	this ruined quality of audio and video
[00:37]	cubexyz/fn	wow, Frank Boosman was former Be exec
[00:37]	activelow	voice compression isn't too criticial, if the signal isn't clipped
[00:37]	cubexyz/fn	that seems wrong, got to double check
[00:38]	schestowitz	it's clipped by threshold
[00:38]	activelow	if a clipped signal (analog and/or digital) is routed into a compressor clipping is even worse since a compressor/postprocessing clips again
[00:39]	schestowitz	I can try to lower the threshold
[00:39]	cubexyz/fn	huh, VP developer relations jan 1998, it's true
[00:39]	schestowitz	but any changes would require much testing
[00:39]	schestowitz	maybe I'll try tomorrow
[00:40]	schestowitz	either way, it's not HD and "gear pr0n"
[00:40]	schestowitz	it's about the substance
[00:40]	schestowitz	gn all
[00:40]	activelow	sleep well
[00:40]	cubexyz/fn	schestowitz, I'm not sure Boosman was a microsoft guy
[00:40]	cubexyz/fn	so my impressions are wrong here I think
[00:40]	schestowitz	maybe 3 hours only, I try to do 3+3 day+night
[00:41]	cubexyz/fn	so microsoft are the hyenas
[00:41]	schestowitz	maybe it' Boorman after all?

[01:11]	DaemonFC	I'm surprised that more people don't ask cops questions about the radar gun.
[01:11]	DaemonFC	Cops didn't go to college. That's why they're cops.
[01:11]	DaemonFC	Half of them, you could probably start asking questions about the Heisenberg Compensator and they wouldn't know what to do.
[01:15]	terps	you actually have to have an associates degree to be a cop here
[01:17]	MinceR	lol
[01:31]	DaemonFC	Which you could do at the local community college where they continue to teach black people they're being oppressed......for money.
[01:32]	DaemonFC	"Man, I be gettin more pissed off all the time. There better be loan forgiveness or Biden can go fuck his white ass!"
[01:33]	DaemonFC	Community college is where your neighbor's idiot 38 year old loser son goes to study philosophy while he cleans popcorn off the floor at the movies.
[01:34]	DaemonFC	It's just another way for the fuckers who run this state to amass a patronage army of Democrat state workers, and they don't even have to pay for it. Most people are dumb enough to sign up voluntarily, unless they get traffic court and need the road safety classes.
[01:34]	MinceR	what's wrong with someone studying philosophy if they're interested in it?
[01:35]	DaemonFC	MinceR, I hope I don't get sentenced to traffic school. The judge doesn't seem prone to doing it unless you're under 21 or did something REALLY stupid.

[01:39]	DaemonFC	Detention was a threat in the 1990s when I was a kid, in a white state, in a middle class area.
[01:39]	DaemonFC	The last place you wanted to be on a Saturday was at school.

[01:45]	DaemonFC	"Its a great detail of an analog gate. Atlantis gates on the other hand"
[01:46]	DaemonFC	The Milky Way gates have this ability, but the prototype gates (Destiny) didn't and the Atlantis ones also have no inner ring.
[01:48]	DaemonFC	"According to one time travel episode we only need a some car batteries and then we can dial the gate manually by rotating the ring"
[01:49]	DaemonFC	Actually, they wired up about half a dozen army trucks to it and let the generators on the trucks send power to the gate, which we already know stores energy from all kinds of things.
[01:49]	activelow	what are you talking about?
[01:49]	DaemonFC	You can essentially trickle charge a Stargate and then manually dial the inner ring, at least in the Milky Way.
[01:50]	DaemonFC	In that prison planet, they did it with some sort of "seaweed" like stuff that produced electricity. Then in another episode (Earnest's planet) they remarked about how stupid the seaweed idea was.
[01:51]	DaemonFC	activelow, Oh, just a TV show. :)
[01:52]	activelow	DaemonFC: just noticed. stargate was boring.
[01:52]	DaemonFC	There was an episode of Breaking Bad where Jessie Pinkman left the key switched to "accessory" on the RV while they had the meth lab going in the desert. Then Walt had to strip down a bunch of things to create a battery to trickle charge the RV battery with.
[01:52]	DaemonFC	Because Pinkman also blew up the gasoline generator they had with them.
[01:54]	activelow	the only recent TV series I was watching was BigBang Theory, up until the girls took over the series which lowered the level of fun somewhat.
[01:56]	activelow	this TV series turned into a love-hate bipolar relationship somehow, since many of the evil of Big Tech is headquartered in california

[03:33]		*activelow refreshes his memories
[03:34]	activelow	microsoft -> novell -> SCO -> california -> RAND corporation
[03:35]	activelow	to dig deep into the dirt, i am almost certain the strategies behind SCO and similar are outlined in RAND papers
[03:36]	activelow	so, recently Kremlin intended to establish some TV channels in Germany
[03:36]	activelow	if there hadn't been some Server in St. Petersburg i hadn't at least heard of RAND corporation
[03:36]		*XRevan86 heard something along those lines.
[03:37]	activelow	and USA minion foreign agents in german politics combat this idea, curious as to why they're desperate when Kremlin had a word to say.
[03:37]	XRevan86	activelow: hm, what server?
[03:37]	activelow	XRevan86: dual-speaker, german language: anti-spiegel.ru
[03:41]	XRevan86	Hosted by Host Europe GmbH in Strasbourg
[03:41]	activelow	probably relocated, the author is residing in St. Petersburg
[03:41]	activelow	btw. youtube censors them regularly
[03:42]	XRevan86	Anti-climatic, I expected some connection to Prigozhin
[03:43]	activelow	anti-climatic?
[03:44]	XRevan86	Found some article that displays support for Medvedchuk. Do German readers care about Medvedchuk for some reason?
[03:44]	XRevan86	activelow: There's a particular place that would've been fun to see as the hoster.
[03:46]	XRevan86	activelow: Ye said dual-speaker, what'd ye meant?
[03:47]	activelow	XRevan86: i didn't practice russian language for 18 years now, and the author of anti-spiegel.ru monitors russian/ukrainian/belarus region and translates some of it
[03:47]	activelow	including the mention about RAND corporation which isn't highly regarded in Kremlin it seems
[03:47]	XRevan86	activelow: meduza.io/en
[03:48]	XRevan86	The best source of news about Russia in English

[03:56]	XRevan86	I've seen some decent coverage of Ukraine in English, but I need to refresh my memory, and there aren't many independent media from the oligarchy in Ukraine.
[03:57]	XRevan86	activelow: Anyway, anti-spiegel does not look like a good source of news.

[05:49]	superkuh	lindis. So unless it was him I'm not sure what you mean.
[05:49]	schestowitz	it's mostly one person, yes...
[05:49]	schestowitz	either way, it's not a channel we have control over
[05:49]	schestowitz	and we never intended to extend to another network
[05:49]	superkuh	Yep. I get that.
[05:50]	schestowitz	because that's just simply not what we needed given the circumstance, we already wanted to go self-hosted a year ago

[07:34]	schestowitz	I want to clarify, to you, why we acted this way.
[07:34]	schestowitz	First, since April, the objective was to avert disaster
[07:34]	schestowitz	based on some headsup
[07:34]	schestowitz	That clearly failed, based on the owners' incompetence, which seems like bad faith
[07:35]	schestowitz	Seeing that a diaspora did in fact start, we decided to seize the opportunity and finally, belatedly, self-host
[07:35]	schestowitz	the LC thing was problematic as moving there would signal our adoption of it
[07:35]	schestowitz	more so if I registered the channels there
[07:35]	schestowitz	(or myself)
[07:36]	schestowitz	by taking that channel, setting the topic etc. you lowered the risk

[12:00]	techrights-news	Recently I've been learning tricks trying to perfect the 'art' of maximising screen space/usage, seeing that many GUIs simply weren't designed to make good use of the limited space/pixels. Too much clutter and waste. This is where a DE like KDE comes very handy -- endless customisability.
[12:06]	techrights-news	One thing I truly dislike in KDE (this has gone on for over a decade) is that many window decorations, including the official ones, don't include support for buttons/icons for some stuff like shade, on all desktops, menu, etc. This means that it's very hard to find what you want. Some styles and other things are incomplete. The developers include only what they themselves use/test with.

[14:30]	XRevan86	netsplit.de's graph is low-res
[14:30]	schestowitz	we will need to make decisions in the future based on their policy and general performance as a network (spam, speed, downtime, speech policy, viability)
[14:31]	schestowitz	I suppose networks can forge number of online users

[14:32]	XRevan86	schestowitz: True, although we know that freenode likes to go big, so if they had forged the number, it'd been 90K at least :)

[14:38]	schestowitz	even French people warned about this
[14:38]	schestowitz	once they seize power, THIS IS IT. It's destroyed.
[14:39]	schestowitz	some Free software orgs and projects were like that too.

[14:39]	blitzed	same with oftc
[14:39]	schestowitz	It was OK last year
[14:40]	schestowitz	I heard oftc and freenode (same staff) started doing foss purges months ago
[14:40]	schestowitz	to 'shape' the movement
[14:40]	blitzed	nah, far too many knuckleheads

[14:43]	schestowitz	they think Firefox is dying because they're not doing enough politics
[14:43]	schestowitz	but they really just dive deeper underground every time they interject politics
[14:43]	blitzed	Firefox rakes in $500mil from the google monster
[14:43]	schestowitz	they're NOT obliged to
[14:43]	schestowitz	they could instead focus on the tech
[14:43]	schestowitz	blitzed: we are on gemini://
[14:44]	schestowitz	gemini://gemini.techrights.org/
[14:44]	schestowitz	a lot cleaner and faster
[14:44]	schestowitz	we try to encourage people to give that a try, but recognise that old habits stick hard
[14:44]	blitzed	I got tired of having to disable so much in about:config...I washed my hands of Firefox when I discovered their newtab feature ignored my NoScript & uBlock Origin addons
[14:44]	blitzed	yup gemini holds promise
[14:44]	schestowitz	I just wasted an hour on firefox last night
[14:45]	schestowitz	you cannot even hide the address bar anymore or put it in the same line as the tabs
[14:45]	schestowitz	it used to be possible and many users complain
[14:45]	schestowitz	this is what they complain about, not how much Mozilla blogs about BLM and stuff
[14:45]	schestowitz	Mozilla doesn't seem to understand or does not want to understand why it's floundering
[14:45]	schestowitz	I spent over an hour on this crap
[14:46]	blitzed	anyway one day I discovered google analytics in my RAM...so yeah unique browser ID & fingerprinting in conjunction with pulling into google javascript...you could VPN all you want, but they'd you popup anywhere
[14:47]	blitzed	yeah, some things in about:config, try to alter them, they regress like a virus *LOL*

[14:47]	schestowitz	so you cannot regret and undo something you did
[14:47]	schestowitz	they just copy Google's mistakes
[14:48]	schestowitz	including hiding https://
[14:48]	schestowitz	because now it's google://
[14:48]	blitzed	precisely, let's do like the competition!
[14:48]	schestowitz	sometimes I copy URLs from Firefox and they then lack the much-needed protocol
[14:48]	blitzed	now WWW is WordPress sites...
[14:48]	schestowitz	maybe eventually firefox will be identical to chrome, with hamburger menus and all, except geckot
[14:49]	schestowitz	then moving off gecko will be simpler

[14:50]	schestowitz	mozilla won't keep supplying it for long

[14:50]	schestowitz	for me, getting off html/https asap is the way to get

[14:50]	schestowitz	cannot do that fast enough
[14:51]	schestowitz	blitzed: it's not detached from gecko and sites that design for the latest gecko
[14:51]	schestowitz	(if at all)

[14:56]	schestowitz	my mistake then. I never used palemoon, iirc.
[14:57]	schestowitz	I think I did briefly, but not on my machine.
[14:57]	schestowitz	anyway, on today's web all those browsers make you second-class citizen
[14:57]	blitzed	it usually does the job for me, and I still have the functionality I need, including customizing toolbar
[14:58]	schestowitz	If the Web was a store, you would not even bother entering anymore
[14:58]	blitzed	infact I enable the menubar, and condense everything onto that one line
[14:58]	schestowitz	that's what Firefox no longer lets you do
[14:58]	blitzed	right
[14:58]	schestowitz	people complained online and there's no solution
[14:59]	schestowitz	I don't need an address bar 1800 pixel across
[14:59]	schestowitz	heck, usually I do not need an address bar at all
[14:59]	schestowitz	[05:46] <schestowitz> Dear Mozilla, how can I hide the Firefox navigation/address bar or collapse that only another column (to save space)? Mozilla: You cant! WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO DO THAT? Dont do that. Its bad. Weve already decided for you. Why are you hurting new users???

[15:01]	kingoffrance	havent seen this, but long ago this was a feature of firefox IIRC, or one of the XUL something or other interface things, when they added ability to move address bar and buttons around (or remove, or add non-default ones).   it even had a gui
[15:01]	kingoffrance	i mean, they used to "advertise" the customization, with a gui noless, as a feature
[15:02]	kingoffrance	even like ie4 or 5 let you "small toolbar icons"
[15:03]	kingoffrance	maybe even ancient netscape
[15:03]	kingoffrance	how did this 180
[15:04]	kingoffrance	you literally could move that stuff with the mouse, drag and drop

[16:02]	schestowitz	some are indexers
[16:02]	immibis	the stuff beyond the captcha is not intended to be indexed
[16:03]	immibis	or, cloudflare has an exception for googlebot. Which is worrying
[16:03]	schestowitz	you mean login pages
[16:03]	schestowitz	yes, some bots are "better" than others
[16:03]	immibis	you put captchas on actions, not pages. Indexers aren't supposed to perform actions
[16:03]	schestowitz	because google "brings traffic"
[16:04]	schestowitz	clownflare does that for articles/pages too

[16:26]	schestowitz	I fought for him
[16:26]	schestowitz	I met Mike in person too, he lives nearby
[16:26]	schestowitz	Matt got together with his Cisco mate, who did much of the coding
[16:26]	schestowitz	not sure how much actual coding was done by who...
[16:27]	gustaf	WP as a business is pretty succesful
[16:27]	schestowitz	it's a bit of a sad story how communities are being vanished by big corporate interests
[16:27]	gustaf	I like Wordpress.com
[16:27]	gustaf	really easy to get going 
[16:27]	schestowitz	or worse, fake "big shots"... like the one who killed freenode

[16:27]	gustaf	well one of the first 
[16:28]	schestowitz	oh, he mentions Mike Little
[16:28]	Ariadne	i wish b2 was still around
[16:28]	Ariadne	wordpress is really... ugh
[16:28]	Ariadne	the thing is wordpress supports a lot of workflows out of the box automatically
[16:28]	Ariadne	thats the only reason i use it
[16:28]	schestowitz	https://mikelittle.org/
[16:28]		-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-mikelittle.org | Mike Little: WordPress Specialist, co-founder of WordPress
[16:28]	schestowitz	"I co-founded WordPress, the website building software. WordPress now powers more than 38% of the web. I started it in 2003 with Matt Mullenweg. We went on to work with a small band of volunteer developers to build and improve the software. WordPress is now developed by a huge worldwide community."
[16:29]	schestowitz	he did his company for a while and released a book
[16:29]	schestowitz	"I am a published author. In 2005 I co-authored Building Online Communities With Drupal, PhpBB, and WordPress. I wrote the WordPress section of the book. I am also a technical editor. I have worked on a number of technical books for Wiley and Sons and other publishers."
[16:30]	Ariadne	yeah i remember mike little
[16:30]	Ariadne	i used to use serendipity
[16:30]	Ariadne	which was another fork of b2

[16:31]	schestowitz	"By the end of June 2001, Michel was ready to say goodbye to Blogger and move his blog to b2. His blog was the first website to run on the code that would become WordPress, grandfather to millions of websites and blogs. "
[16:31]	schestowitz	yes, I remember serendipity
[16:31]	schestowitz	ages ago b2 was still available
[16:32]	schestowitz	but no longer actively maintained, as wp became unofficial 'successor
[16:32]	Ariadne	before serendipity, i used to use movable type
[16:32]	schestowitz	I think he had put that on sourceforge
[16:32]	Ariadne	but mod_perl really sucks
[16:32]	gustaf	MT was *weird* 
[16:32]	schestowitz	I tried it the other day for irc-cgi
[16:32]	gustaf	it was static before that was cool :D 
[16:33]	gustaf	also the company behind it gave off weird vibes
[16:33]	Ariadne	six apart was ok
[16:33]	Ariadne	i even bought a movable type license
[16:33]	gustaf	I was never a customer, granted 
[16:33]	schestowitz	https://milestonesbook.files.wordpress.com/2015/11/b2admin.png
[16:33]	Ariadne	no idea what the details on it were or if its still good
[16:33]	Ariadne	lol
[16:33]	gustaf	started using Blosxom in ... 2003? 
[16:33]	schestowitz	many of the key pieces had been put in places by michel
[16:34]	schestowitz	before it became wordpress
[16:34]	gustaf	2004
[16:34]	Ariadne	the main reason i switched from serendipity is because serendipity went through a period where it was unmaintained
[16:34]	Ariadne	i switched to jekyll
[16:34]	gustaf	Michel is married, 2 kids, lives outside Paris :D 
[16:34]	Ariadne	but building a workflow around jekyll really sucks
[16:35]	techrights-news	#wordpress before it became a pile of bloat and complexity that isn't necessarily required for just a bunch of simple blog posts https://milestonesbook.files.wordpress.com/2015/11/b2admin.png
[16:35]	gustaf	Blosxom just happened to have a static option, I turned that on when I realized I didn't want a CGI scrpt to run for every page view, and then 15 years later everyone is raving about SSG's
[16:35]	Ariadne	so then i switched to write.as
[16:35]	Ariadne	which is garbage
[16:36]	Ariadne	dont bother with it
[16:36]	schestowitz	I remember it
[16:36]	Ariadne	then i switched to wordpress
[16:36]	schestowitz	I still have 2 php-nuke sites, long unmaintained...
[16:36]	schestowitz	wordpress copied a lot from drupal
[16:36]	gustaf	about 60% of content when blogging was "hot" was posts abotu blogging software etc
[16:36]	schestowitz	esp. the things perceived to be "ahead" of WP
[16:36]	schestowitz	like progress bars for uploads

[16:36]	gustaf	fun for a while

[17:18]	schestowitz	RMS suggested a way of using such phones sans the tracking
[17:18]	XRevan86	MinceR's also running pmOS with Plasma on a PinePhone.
[17:18]	schestowitz	but that would make them mostly impractical
[17:18]	blitzed	right on XRevan86
[17:18]	schestowitz	Oliva works on "0g"
[17:19]	Ariadne	tbh i see alpine as the future of free software, GNU is compromised extensively by corporate interests
[17:19]	schestowitz	but I don't know the technical details exactly
[17:19]	schestowitz	meshed networks won't be permitted by governments... something about "kiddie pr0n" and "terrorism"
[17:19]	Ariadne	GNU is pretty much redhat running the show in everything that actually matters
[17:19]	Ariadne	binutils, gcc, glibc, etc
[17:19]	blitzed	woudl be great if Pine Phone reaches a point whereya can install pretty much any distro such as; Alpine, antiX, Devuan, MX Linux, etc.
[17:20]	Ariadne	well, bare alpine is not really intended for embedded
[17:20]	Ariadne	thats what pmOS exists to do
[17:20]	Ariadne	is bridge the gap between normal alpine and embedded world
[17:20]	Ariadne	like emdebian of the past
[17:20]	schestowitz	Alpm
[17:20]	blitzed	aha
[17:21]	Ariadne	you can actually target any kind of embedded device with pmOS
[17:21]	Ariadne	not just phones
[17:21]	blitzed	neat

[17:25]	schestowitz	"we're watching you"
[17:25]	schestowitz	"your mouth is dirty"
[17:25]	schestowitz	leave the kernel to Mac users... to manage it
[17:25]	schestowitz	"
[17:25]	schestowitz	The list of scathing messages that Linus Torvalds has written over the years is so rich and colorful that there's an entire subreddit devoted to the topic. 
[17:25]	schestowitz	"Mauro, SHUT THE F--- UP!" Torvalds, the famed creator of the Linux operating system, wrote publicly to a software developer in 2012, calling the hapless recipient's opinion "garbage and idiocy."
[17:25]	schestowitz	"The above code is s---, and it generates s--- code," Torvalds rebuked a different colleague working on Linux, while blasting the work of yet another because "I expect *some* quality control, and this piece-of-s--- driver has clearly seen none at all."
[17:25]	schestowitz	He's attacked tech giants like Intel, wondering whether the company is "committed to selling you s--- forever and ever, and never fixing anything?" When the graphics chipmaker Nvidia ran afoul of Torvalds one time, he said simply: "f--- you."
[17:25]	schestowitz	As Torvalds labored over the wording of an important announcement in 2018 though, he was gripped with doubt and self-consciousness. Nearly three decades after creating the software that made him famous, revered and feared, Torvalds on the advice of a few close friends was temporarily stepping away to "get help on how to behave differently."
[17:25]	schestowitz	"I am not an emotionally empathetic kind of person," Torvalds would acknowledge in the 989-word public apology.
[17:25]	schestowitz	"
[17:25]	schestowitz	basically, the man is a monster
[17:26]	schestowitz	and he's luck to STILL be in control

[17:34]	schestowitz	"
[17:34]	schestowitz	When I contacted Torvalds over email, he had just gotten his power and internet back after an ice storm in Portland, Oregon, where he lives. I asked him whether he was available for a video interview, and he replied that, "I absolutely abhor video chats in all forms, and these days obviously face-to-face isn't an option either." 
[17:34]	schestowitz	
[17:34]	schestowitz	I proposed a phone interview instead. "Heh, no, my abhorrence covers phone calls too. Nasty things, phones. Except as quick email devices."

[19:32]	schestowitz	it would be wasteful, I think, to revisit the subject
[19:33]	schestowitz	I can find you some writeups about, and not only mine
[19:33]	schestowitz	here's the thing
[19:33]	schestowitz	I just wasted 20 minutes investigates what was eating up gigs of swap on my machine
[19:33]	schestowitz	to the point of nearby crashing it twice in the past day
[19:33]	schestowitz	turns out it's some ibm thing connected to flatpak
[19:34]	schestowitz	horrible design, I suppose
[19:34]	schestowitz	they don't care
[19:34]	schestowitz	works on fedora and rhel, to hell with other systems
[19:34]	schestowitz	but that's the sort of stuff we might need to better study and write about
[19:34]	schestowitz	the fight against swpats was hot a decade back
[19:34]	schestowitz	epo corrupt more than half a decade ago
[19:34]	schestowitz	fsf siege a few years ago
[19:35]	schestowitz	now we have other trouble in our hands, like irc
[19:35]	schestowitz	that Microsoft is unique isn't a  new thing
[19:35]	schestowitz	no other company wants to destory Linux (as in GNU/Linux desktop) as much as Microsoft
[19:35]	schestowitz	not even Apple
[19:36]	schestowitz	Google doesn't mind because it's not in the business of licensing for a free to OEMs
[19:36]	schestowitz	*fee
[19:36]	schestowitz	so Google isn't much of an existential threat to us
[19:36]	activelow	i was tracking this in lower realms: compilers/toolchain down to circuit design and involved vendors - the "means of production"
[19:37]	activelow	which remain in the hands of some entities even outside reach of entities such as google or microsoft
[19:37]	schestowitz	we have scarcely any control over that
[19:37]	schestowitz	except at manhattan project scale
[19:37]	schestowitz	like if Russia, China and India make their own chip designed with ISAs and things like RISC-V as base desgn
[19:38]	schestowitz	but would you, a Chinese person, trust the CPC to make secure chips that don't spy on you?
[19:38]	schestowitz	Same for India and Russia
[19:38]	schestowitz	in fact, china is a leap ahead of the rest here because much of the production happens there
[19:38]	schestowitz	except maybe for military things
[19:39]	schestowitz	Japan had ARM for a while, but Japan too manufactures in China
[19:39]	schestowitz	Taiwan/Taipei is a mix
[19:39]	schestowitz	so I see where you're coming from
[19:39]	schestowitz	were we to develop a roadmap
[19:39]	schestowitz	we'd need to eradicate top to botom
[19:39]	schestowitz	not bottom up
[19:39]	schestowitz	first eliminate Windows
[19:40]	schestowitz	then start worrying about firmware you cannot modify or understand 
[19:40]	schestowitz	then delve down to chip design level
[19:40]	schestowitz	and encourage people to shun the secret designs
[19:40]	XFaCE	schestowitz: with Windows 11 it seems the trend in the opposite direction to what you described has accelerated
[19:40]	schestowitz	starting with activism at chip level would miss the point if those chips end up running malware like Microsoft Vista (version+x)
[19:41]	XFaCE	Pushing the TPM after it being a threat for years
[19:41]	activelow	circuit design and deployment is under total control of the californian business entities anyway
[19:41]	schestowitz	IBM also pushed TPM
[19:41]	schestowitz	but...
[19:41]	schestowitz	shun Vista
[19:41]	schestowitz	and then you already eliminate the selling point for TPM
[19:41]	schestowitz	Same for hardware with uefi 'secure boot' and DRM for 'secure' content
[19:42]	schestowitz	activelow: china has its own too
[19:42]	schestowitz	and they have patent wars over it

[19:48]	schestowitz	SLED isn't a thing at all
[19:48]	activelow	such as recently i noticed Debian/Armbian maintain some patches for specific ARM devices (highly relevant, thanks), yet these are not mainlined at least
[19:48]	schestowitz	SUSE is just SLES
[19:49]	activelow	tracking those changes and integrating them is days and weeks of work
[19:49]	schestowitz	all those distros use the exact some kernel or gnu linux-libre
[19:49]	schestowitz	*same
[19:49]	schestowitz	activelow: they should push the relevant generalised changes upstream
[19:49]	schestowitz	would save them lots of work and hassle in the long run
[19:50]	schestowitz	Free software is a winning strategy, we just need to conquer laptops now, and preferably NOT the "chromeOS way" because that's not freedom
[19:51]	activelow	schestowitz: long story short foss left me behind without a compiler at least i would be willing to use
[19:51]	schestowitz	you need to then fight clown computer and hardware-level back doors
[19:51]	schestowitz	enough activism for a lifetime to come
[19:51]	schestowitz	china already moves to gnu/linux for everything of importance
[19:51]	schestowitz	activelow: compilers became massive and complex
[19:52]	schestowitz	like 40 million LOCS, iirc, for gcc
[19:52]	schestowitz	but that's because of hardware diversity with all sorts of optimisations specific to archs/designs+versions
[19:52]	schestowitz	if you value security and freedom you can use a simple compiler
[19:52]	schestowitz	just for some module that's very critical like encryption algorithm
[19:53]	activelow	i can't, not with the type of "big foss" which is dominating
[19:53]	schestowitz	Intel pushes RNG crap
[19:53]	schestowitz	and who knows what it does and what entropy it yields

[19:58]	activelow	sad truth is many reasons to deny microsoft products apply to "big foss" alike
● Jun 27
[20:00]	activelow	1) "for free", maybe gratis, it isn't free anymore.
[20:00]	activelow	2) this one is the only i accept without doubt: lots of free programs apps, too much occasionally
[20:00]	techrights-news	On the Web, so-called 'traffic' (raw) is a poor measure of success and longterm prospects. You can get people to click by provoking them (or misleading them), it's not limited to trolling and clickbait, but then they will shun you and never come back. Better be modest, moderate, objective. This way you maintain trust and retain readers.
[20:01]	activelow	4) no centralization isn't worth discussing for now
[20:01]	activelow	5) "Emphasis on privacy" simply wrong, it is a myth.
[20:01]	activelow	6) works on old eqipment, ok this is true too without doubt.
[20:02]	activelow	7) "Fewer viruses and malware", simply wrong.
[20:02]	techrights-news	#KDE : #digiKam , #KStars , and #Krita http://www.tuxmachines.org/node/152746 #TuxMachines
[20:02]	activelow	8) neither developers nor users can excercise control over any ordinary "big foss" system anymore
[20:02]		-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-www.tuxmachines.org | KDE: digiKam, KStars, and Krita | Tux Machines
[20:03]	activelow	9) stability, "big foss" isn't stable either
[20:03]	techrights-news	Web advertising generally biases Web sites towards clickbait and BS. Better not accept any ads; that would, overall, improve quality of information
[20:03]	activelow	and 10) alot of what is considered open source isn't

[20:04]		-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-www.tuxmachines.org | Android Leftovers | Tux Machines
[20:05]	schestowitz	activelow: it's maybe open,  but not freedom-respecting
[20:05]	schestowitz	open is meaningless junk
[20:05]	schestowitz	"open API..."
[20:05]	schestowitz	Facebook is "open registration"
[20:05]	schestowitz	freedom is hard to fake
[20:06]	schestowitz	the closest they got was conflating freedom with CHOICE
[20:08]	activelow	thing is, if there was consent to refrain from microsoft offereings same applies to alot of what is sold as "big foss" then
[20:09]	schestowitz	what is "big foss" to you, Debian?
[20:09]	schestowitz	systemd?
[20:09]	schestowitz	systemd is OSPS
[20:09]	schestowitz	we have a name for it already
[20:09]	schestowitz	chromium-browser is the same
[20:09]	activelow	i am mostly concerned about compilers recently
[20:09]	schestowitz	aka "big monopo/lithic mess, but source available"
[20:10]	activelow	and the tooling to retain control over "big foss"
[20:10]	schestowitz	many people lose sight of compilers
[20:10]	schestowitz	suse and ibm dominate gcc
[20:10]	activelow	if a system is offered as "big foss" and a developer couldn't easily excercise freedoms anymore, meaning to at least compile his software from source to easily continue with development
[20:12]	schestowitz	MinceR mentioned this in relation to systemd iirc, or maybe figosdev did
[20:14]	schestowitz	collective audits though are a verification or means of it
[20:14]	schestowitz	the idea is, you rely on many other devs seeing the code in many companies
[20:14]	schestowitz	where they get paid to work on it
[20:14]	schestowitz	and blowing the whistle if they see somethign rogue
[20:14]	schestowitz	and the more contribs you have, the more people can spot issues
[20:15]	schestowitz	but there's a caveat because more devs doesn't mean more good devs
[20:15]	activelow	an idea of mine is this schestowitz, i do know i cannot review everything nor do i intend to do so
[20:15]	schestowitz	like that german who put a major security flaw in openssl
[20:15]	activelow	yet at least i can verify if it is possible to review any piece of "big foss"
[20:15]	schestowitz	collective checks and belances work better than one single company monopolising development
[20:15]	schestowitz	and likely hiding all the creases
[20:15]	schestowitz	not fearing another company calling them out on it
[20:16]		*psydroid has quit (connection closed)
[20:16]	activelow	and the conclusion to be drawn here is only BIG business can excercise control

[23:12]		-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights- ( status 403 @ https://coronavirus.data.gov.uk/ )
[23:13]	schestowitz	100k+ cases this past week
[23:13]	XFaCE	schestowitz: social isolation is not "boring"
[23:13]	schestowitz	up 60% compared to last week
[23:13]	XFaCE	it's deadly in the long run
[23:13]	XFaCE	Some animal species will die from separation anxiety
[23:13]	schestowitz	yes, well, the depression  it causes does not help
[23:13]	schestowitz	but overcrowded hospitals are worse
[23:13]	XFaCE	Yeah, I'm just taking issue with tossing it aside as "boring"
[23:13]		*immibis has quit (Ping timeout: 272 seconds)
[23:14]	XFaCE	That is an extremely dismissive characterization
[23:14]	schestowitz	some are not employed or underemployed and many public spaces are shut
[23:14]	schestowitz	no concerts, night clubs...
[23:15]	schestowitz	"Boring" is what some tell me
[23:15]	schestowitz	they were eager to go back to work
[23:15]	schestowitz	they read books or something...
[23:15]	schestowitz	while their workplaces perish
[23:16]	schestowitz	The luckier ones have long worked from home, so adaptation  was minimal
[23:16]	XFaCE	That's only one part of the problem
[23:16]	schestowitz	I sort of miss going to the gym, but it's too risky to go back there right now
[23:16]	XFaCE	It is risky to not allow gyms
[23:16]	schestowitz	and the isolation, and lack of social support networks (like chats, hugs), deprives people of safety nets
[23:17]	XFaCE	Encouragement of seditary lifestyles
[23:17]	schestowitz	or even dating someone
[23:17]	XFaCE	yes
[23:17]	schestowitz	we try to run outside
[23:17]	schestowitz	but it's not the same thing, I need some equipment
[23:17]	XFaCE	It's quite possible that social isolation anxiety is compromising immune systems... we've simply never had this sort of experiment before.
[23:18]	schestowitz	well,maybe not in our lifetime
[23:18]	XFaCE	It is reasonable to say that depriving social interaction in a species evolved to have it is not going to end well.
[23:18]	schestowitz	but it likely happened before, hundreds of years ago
[23:18]	schestowitz	and bombshell anxiety, too
[23:18]	XFaCE	>The luckier ones have long worked from home, so adaptation  was minimal
[23:19]	XFaCE	I am introverted and was diagnosed with autism years ago. Even I can't stand the social isolation. For those more social inclined it must be truly awful.
[23:19]	schestowitz	I should add that I'm not overgeneralisation or suggest it's all reducible to the same causes etc.
[23:19]	schestowitz	but the ones I heard about lately...
[23:19]		*DaemonFC has quit (Quit: Leaving)
[23:19]	XFaCE	Fair, I would chalk that up to the limitations of text conversation
[23:20]	schestowitz	unemployment of broken relationships sometimes contribute to it, regardless of isolation, but some of the social support networks (comfort) are not there
[23:20]	XFaCE	correct, and I would also add that relationships are being made broken
[23:21]	schestowitz	Extroverts I know just meet people regardless
[23:21]	XFaCE	Is that not a predicatable outcome?
[23:21]	schestowitz	and then pass that thing around or cause tensions with people they share living space with... but they cannot help it, they really need to see friends
[23:22]	XFaCE	Yeah and that's reasonable mindsight
[23:22]	XFaCE	the social interaction is a necessity
[23:23]	XFaCE	it's akin (though less severe) to asking someone to starve
[23:23]	schestowitz	sometimes we don't see the warning signs anymore
[23:23]	schestowitz	because people don't meet people, so the depression becomes less visible
[23:23]	schestowitz	they keep that inside and it worsens until it explodes
[23:24]	schestowitz	even seeing professionals for advice is harder now
[23:24]	schestowitz	I read about this ridiculous "theory over ZOOM" thing
[23:24]	schestowitz	and went like, WHAT?
[23:24]	schestowitz	what next, emoji therapy?
[23:24]	XFaCE	of course
[23:24]		*DaemonFC (~daemonfc@byz7mxwi44bsu.irc) has joined #techrights
[23:24]	XFaCE	schestowitz: it's marketing
[23:24]	schestowitz	this is essential service
[23:25]	schestowitz	send people to homes of people to speak to them
[23:25]	schestowitz	not some "ZOOM" session
[23:25]	schestowitz	ENgland is very densely populated in the larger towns
[23:25]	XFaCE	schestowitz: it ties back to what we were talking about, abstraction
[23:25]	schestowitz	we'll have this crisis for at least another year
[23:25]	XFaCE	those non-services are just an attempt to abstract the problem away
[23:26]	schestowitz	worse than the ZOOM "patent courts"
[23:26]	XFaCE	schestowitz: the kind of thinking that occurs with individuals who see people as entries in a dataset

[23:32]	MinceR	28 000034 <~schestowitz> not sure what sort of future today's young kids will have...
[23:32]	MinceR	no future
[23:32]	schestowitz	the competition is MASSIVE
[23:32]	schestowitz	over not only jobs
[23:33]	schestowitz	with prices of houses soaring proportional to income
[23:33]	schestowitz	and food also
[23:34]	schestowitz	and they tell them, do some only course for a 'virtual certificate', as if a 7-day program will make them competitive enough to fit into the job market
[23:34]	schestowitz	or some 30-second tiktok #short will turn them into the next Britney Spears

[23:56]	activelow	need to rebase kernel again, lagging behind at 5.9
[23:58]	activelow	i'll release three variants: a non-x11 set with ACCEPT_LICENSE=free fitting onto cdrom, a small x11 variant with same license restriction fitting onto dvd, and a third firmware image of ~16GiB in size including everything
[23:59]	activelow	need to hurry to proceed with the compiler replacement, should have forked at the time gcc 4.7 already, didn't expect some much trouble ahead with latest tendencie
