[07:21] schestowitz-TR2 this morning around 5:30 the apache process had hung up

[07:21] schestowitz-TR2 much of the nnight I kept waking up to check it

[07:21] schestowitz-TR2 the while loop checkk did not take action

[07:21] schestowitz-TR2 I used the latest version of it

[07:36] Techrights-sec I saw in the logs that it had been out three times.

[07:37] schestowitz-TR2 yes, I went to sleep around 2am and earlier than this there were a couple of incidents

[07:38] Techrights-sec I should set up a Gemini capsule. What is the ETA for the return of the

[07:38] Techrights-sec mailing list?

[07:38] schestowitz-TR2 mein fuhrer, steinar... I don't think it's coming back

[07:40] schestowitz-TR2 fwiw, wordpress too used to have 4 or more mailing lists

[07:40] schestowitz-TR2 the main one was "wp-hackers"

[07:40] schestowitz-TR2 those no longer seem to be used

[07:40] schestowitz-TR2 as the project grew

[07:40] schestowitz-TR2 and now is so mainstrain that almost half the wqeb uses it

[07:40] schestowitz-TR2 and "hackers" is nopt "professional"

[07:40] Techrights-sec Too bad, because it is needed very badly.

[07:40] Techrights-sec :(

[07:40] Techrights-sec fools

[07:41] schestowitz-TR2 bbiab , morning workout

[08:22] Techrights-sec restarting

[08:22] Techrights-sec restarting again, it has locked again

[08:23] schestowitz-TR2 wow, 3 times in about half an hour

[08:27] Techrights-sec yes, it would be useful to know what to investigate, it might be more useful

[08:27] Techrights-sec to have a more uptodate version of Apache

[08:27] Techrights-sec It would also be helpful to be able to add SSHGuard or Fail2Ban

[08:27] schestowitz-TR2 that used to be installed and enabled on the varnish front end

[08:29] schestowitz-TR2 btw, the flowers rianne arrange for my birthday are not all dead yet

[08:29] schestowitz-TR2 the coronation ones still ghave 'juice' in them, i put them near me for videos

[08:30] Techrights-sec :)

[08:30] Techrights-sec There are also tricks like moving the bouquette into the refrigerator during

[08:30] Techrights-sec the night or when asleep.

[08:31] schestowitz-TR2 they seem to perish faster when it is sunny

[08:31] schestowitz-TR2 I put them near the window pane

[08:31] schestowitz-TR2 today I will record something about IBM's treatmentt of Red Hat

[08:36] Techrights-sec light and heat finish them off quickly

[08:36] Techrights-sec IBM has basically discarded red hat, I'm not sure what the point of the

[08:36] Techrights-sec acquisition even was given how things have been (mis-)handled

[08:39] schestowitz Wrong assumptions had been made about Red Hat and then they paid too much mostly for a brand, not recognising how GPL works. A source once told us that attacks on Torvalds and 'suspension' (very shortly after announcement of takeover) were meant to lower the price of buying Red Hat. That was a year before quote mining a decade-old RMS on the most problematic issues.

[09:33] schestowitz-TR2 spoke to my dad just now, after I had spoke to my mom

[09:33] schestowitz-TR2 he got corona

[09:33] schestowitz-TR2 struggled to beathe for a bit, twice

[09:33] schestowitz-TR2 had receivedd moderna iirc, only one dose

[09:33] schestowitz-TR2 brother also caught it

[09:33] schestowitz-TR2 had muscle pains

[09:33] schestowitz-TR2 lied on floor at one point

[09:37] schestowitz-TR2 yes, relatives seem to get it through the kid

[09:37] schestowitz-TR2 they are the infection vector you cannopt leave outside the home "for quarantine"

[09:37] schestowitz-TR2 based on the accounts >I heard from my 'NDA clones,', same for rianne's sister

[09:37] schestowitz-TR2 we would not be asymptomatic, nor be at great risk

[09:37] schestowitz-TR2 so I am quite sure we're among the lucky ones, still

● Feb 02

[10:04] schestowitz-TR2 the pathogen aspect was the one I originally went for

[10:04] schestowitz-TR2 knowing that many natire Americans died from new diseases

[10:04] schestowitz-TR2 I once read an estimate that said 90%

[10:04] schestowitz-TR2 then again, I wonder if our self-isolation would also weaken us

[10:04] schestowitz-TR2 to things like common flu

[10:04] schestowitz-TR2 the plan is to park a little longer before it

[10:04] schestowitz-TR2 becomes clearer what medical remedies are developed

[10:04] schestowitz-TR2 and what exactly is going on

[10:04] schestowitz-TR2 coronavirus portal has just been massaged (again) into gov messaging

[10:04] schestowitz-TR2 i.e. like BillBC

[10:04] schestowitz-TR2 which I am very unhappy about

[10:04] schestowitz-TR2 I will need to find alternative data sources, such as excess mortality reports

[10:06] schestowitz-TR2 food, medicine, power, water

[10:06] schestowitz-TR2 sleep and other things follow

[10:06] schestowitz-TR2 at the moment we can hibernate longer

[10:06] schestowitz-TR2 the economy and atmosphere out there is shit anyway

[10:06] schestowitz-TR2 tried it

[10:06] schestowitz-TR2 didn't like it

[11:20] Techrights-sec ack

[11:20] Techrights-sec he's still stalking?

[11:20] schestowitz-TR2 for all I care, the trolls can fight other trolls. I'd rather focus on actual issues.

[11:21] schestowitz-TR2 this is being considered, after the caution system

[11:24] schestowitz-TR2 oofbeat ramble:

[11:24] schestowitz-TR2 from my experience over the years it is quite common

[11:24] schestowitz-TR2 the comment section or some other thing

[11:24] schestowitz-TR2 will attrtact isiots in need of an audience

[11:24] schestowitz-TR2 if you deal with them harshly

[11:24] schestowitz-TR2 then you make more enemies

[11:24] schestowitz-TR2 like "Old Man"

[11:24] schestowitz-TR2 Also,, the best cure is to focus on the issues

[11:24] schestowitz-TR2 I think Leo Laporte defended me on the air to that effect

[11:24] schestowitz-TR2 as he too experienced this

[11:24] schestowitz-TR2 as did Michael Arringtonton

[11:24] schestowitz-TR2 They try to hold you accountable for the behavious of mpeople

[11:24] schestowitz-TR2 whom you barely know

[11:24] schestowitz-TR2 and whom you do not defend either

[11:24] schestowitz-TR2 in the distant past it was thast "mark Fink" person

[11:24] schestowitz-TR2 likely a pseudonym anyway

[11:24] Techrights-sec yes it's a tar pit that way

[11:31] schestowitz-TR2 today I will focus less on epo and more on ibm

[11:31] schestowitz-TR2 i still wonder sometimes who it was that complained to twitter

[11:31] schestowitz-TR2 either trans activists with a thin skin or some IBM PR people

[11:31] schestowitz-TR2 could be either or both

[11:32] Techrights-sec ack

[11:32] Techrights-sec or trolls using either to deflect away from themselve

[11:32] Techrights-sec s

[11:33] schestowitz-TR2 on that occasion, twitter sided with me, but that depends on the assigned

[11:33] schestowitz-TR2 moderator and could have a different outcome some other day

[11:33] schestowitz-TR2 without even opening up to due process or letting me appeal

[11:33] schestowitz-TR2 so this is risky

[11:34] Techrights-sec anything with twitter is risky

[11:34] Techrights-sec if enough shills click on the report button then twitter will feel compelled to

[11:34] Techrights-sec appease them, no matter how far out they are

[11:35] schestowitz-TR2 there is some progress on joindiaspora

[11:35] schestowitz-TR2 at the end we might be better off in the control sense

[11:35] schestowitz-TR2 I might have to pay more for the platform being there

[11:35] schestowitz-TR2 I always donated a little

[11:35] schestowitz-TR2 but at least I might have more of a hand in the opoerations

[11:35] schestowitz-TR2 20% of all posts there ever are mine

[11:36] Techrights-sec definitely

[11:37] schestowitz-TR2 I might even mention the topic at a later date; atm a lot is done by email

[11:37] schestowitz-TR2 to reduce noise and there is a lot of precarious negotiation

[11:37] schestowitz-TR2 I very much doubt it is simple to run such a pod or instance

[11:37] schestowitz-TR2 but they already limit number of new signups

[11:37] schestowitz-TR2 which means moderation is not too much os a hassle

[11:37] schestowitz-TR2 in terms of backups, I think the disk space used is vast

[14:16] schestowitz-TR2 recording done, ~40 mins

[14:16] schestowitz-TR2 I will be voting tomorrow morning

[14:16] schestowitz-TR2 but that's very near to us

[14:16] schestowitz-TR2 will try to avoid human contact

[14:30] Techrights-sec Can the voting be done by mail?

[14:30] schestowitz-TR2 no.

[14:32] schestowitz-TR2 the pandemic has sadly made me even less eager than before to meet with or

[14:32] schestowitz-TR2 interact with people unless they are trusted friends.

[14:32] schestowitz-TR2 In the context of business, this means I try to minimise feuds

[14:32] schestowitz-TR2 as at the end a lot of time goes down the drain

[14:32] schestowitz-TR2 but time is not a very scarce commodity

[14:32] schestowitz-TR2 health is

[14:32] schestowitz-TR2 and stress harms health

[14:32] schestowitz-TR2 so certain thingd that MIGHT lead to confrontation

[14:32] schestowitz-TR2 I try my best to avoid a priori

[14:33] schestowitz-TR2 put another way, think of it like this:

[14:33] schestowitz-TR2 timespan is not a fixed parameters

[14:33] schestowitz-TR2 it depends on many factors

[14:33] schestowitz-TR2 inclkuding diet, which is impacted by mood

[14:33] schestowitz-TR2 the choice and amounts of food

[14:33] schestowitz-TR2 same for sleep

[14:33] schestowitz-TR2 so by trying to amek shortcuts to "save time"

[14:33] schestowitz-TR2 you might in fact shortening your life

[14:33] schestowitz-TR2 and I think that's not a bad guiding principle

[14:33] schestowitz-TR2 focus less on saving time

[14:33] schestowitz-TR2 and more on extending life

[14:35] schestowitz-TR2 I have just deposited a first rough draft

[14:35] schestowitz-TR2 in case you want to send suggestions

[14:36] Techrights-sec ok can check in a bit

[14:48] Techrights-sec " Yet another top-level executive, _____, leaves ..." is there a reason not

[14:48] Techrights-sec to mention the name in that sentence? It would seem to fit.

[18:36] schestowitz Dear colleagues,

[18:36] schestowitz We are happy to let you know that we re-start our weekly coffee meetings in 2022. Still in virtual fashion, however, the new committee members are looking forward to meet you face to face in a hopefully not too distant - future when the situation allows us to do so.

[18:36] schestowitz In these meetings we would like to inform you on the most burning issues and get your opinion on it. For the coming meeting these are:

[18:36] schestowitz The consequences of the educational reform for staff in TH

[18:36] schestowitz Salary adjustment procedure: results and what we can do about it

[18:36] schestowitz Status of teleworking guidelines

[18:37] schestowitz But above all, we want to listen to you. SUEPO is nothing but its members, and your point of view matters very much to us.

[18:37] schestowitz We are happy to invite you to a
