10:11 schestowitz-TR2; two things
10:11 schestowitz-TR2; 1) earlier this morning our network (server) had a 10-min outage. still less than aws.
10:11 schestowitz-TR2; 2) what should our position on fsfe be?
10:11 schestowitz-TR2; (I don't; want to destroy them, they still do some good things)
10:12 Techrights-sec2; afk
10:12 Techrights-sec2; 1) ack, I noticed that the connection was broken but it came back quickly
10:12 Techrights-sec2; 2) it should be measured, but I would say that they probably ought to change
10:12 Techrights-sec2; the name. Yes, many of the things they do are good, but far from all.
10:12 schestowitz-TR2; OK, thanks for thatinput, we need to budget our time to deal
10:12 schestowitz-TR2; with great threts and more urgent things
10:12 schestowitz-TR2; sometimes barking without biting can discourage further bad behaviour

10:16 schestowitz-TR2; I think the approach is conditional love or tough love (I prefer the former terms). Commend them when they do sometimes good, condemn when they do something negative, then hope they will do less of the latter, over time, to maintain cleaner reputation and balance sheet
10:16 schestowitz-TR2; it pains me because I used to know people from there

11:27 Techrights-sec2; if one includes tables, mobile, etc, then M$ is hovering just above 30%
11:27 Techrights-sec2; Probably worth mentioning so as to drive home the point The Netcraft reports
11:27 Techrights-sec2; have a lot of interesting hints about other HTTP servers but no details.
11:27 Techrights-sec2; Nginx is clearly eating the market, but lots of small projects are becoming

11:27 -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-gs.statcounter.com | Operating System Market Share Worldwide | Statcounter Global Stats
11:27 Techrights-sec2; For example, the "top million busiest sites" have moved to "other" ahead of
11:27 Techrights-sec2; both Apache2 and Nginx
11:27 Techrights-sec2; I suppose Flask and such are there in "other" but Netcraft does not say.
11:30 schestowitz-TR2; +1
11:30 schestowitz-TR2; I am going to record a video in a few mins
11:30 schestowitz-TR2; I will mention gemini, www, and what you found in the stats
11:30 schestowitz-TR2; but the point to take home is, WEB servers are not the only game in town
11:31 Techrights-sec2; Yes, and another is that WWW != Internet, and that social control media
11:31 Techrights-sec2; is not the WWW. It gets tiring having to repeat those points. Since
11:31 Techrights-sec2; fewer and fewer people understand that, I wonder if there is another way
11:31 Techrights-sec2; to get the point across.
