[08:55] schestowitz-TR the demise of social control media is a very historically significant event,

[08:55] schestowitz-TR not just in the context of tech

[08:58] Techrightssec The big test of the fediverse will be if various companies add their own

[08:58] Techrightssec instances. DW, NYT, WP, etc could have instances for their reporters to use.

[08:58] Techrightssec rather than trying to pile (inappropriately) into an existing instance.

[08:58] Techrightssec Real reporting costs money, which they are no longer willing to spend/

[08:58] Techrightssec It's all bread and circuses these days and "tooting" is cheapest.

[08:58] schestowitz-TR they should do reporting

[08:58] schestowitz-TR not "tooting"

[08:58] schestowitz-TR they are assuming the problem is "twitter" or "musk"

● Nov 08

[09:00] schestowitz-TR reporting costs time, not money

[09:00] schestowitz-TR but time can cost money

[09:00] schestowitz-TR it saddens me to see many sites in my feeds posting shameless webspam

[09:00] schestowitz-TR wastes time and causes regret about linking to them

[09:04] Techrightssec ack

[09:04] Techrightssec web spam is becoming all too common

[09:06] schestowitz-TR "bext vpn"

[09:06] schestowitz-TR "casino"

[09:06] schestowitz-TR "online essays"

[09:07] schestowitz-TR "deal:"

[09:07] schestowitz-TR "special offer"

[09:07] schestowitz-TR "buy followers today"

[09:07] schestowitz-TR "loan now"

[09:11] *starstreak has quit (Quit: Leaving)

[09:27] schestowitz-TR a mins ago I caught up with clown bubble starting to implode too

[09:27] schestowitz-TR as i mentioned before, some pay PER MONTH what would cost them to buy one server with sufficient

[09:27] schestowitz-TR capacity to lost maybe a decade

[09:27] schestowitz-TR *last

● Nov 08

[10:26] Techrightssec The Register article also points to the possibility of that now that people

[10:26] Techrightssec have had quite a few large invoices and notice that they are neither saving

[10:26] Techrightssec time, effort, nor money with "clown" services

[10:27] schestowitz-TR I see that first-hand

[10:27] schestowitz-TR not my own account

[10:27] schestowitz-TR imagine paying like $1000 a month for a few VMs that have 0.00 CPU usage 99.9% of the time

[10:27] schestowitz-TR and call this "modern"

[10:28] schestowitz-TR btw, I was thinking of spilling the pi to take advantage of the 400. the "4" is very busy, the 400 is idle

[10:28] schestowitz-TR the splitting would not be hard.

[10:29] schestowitz-TR ipfs runs as a background daemon and gets ruin manually\

[10:29] schestowitz-TR *rin

[10:29] schestowitz-TR *wun

[10:29] schestowitz-TR *run

[10:29] schestowitz-TR I should watch the screen while typign really

[10:30] Techrightssec The hard part will be to get the managers to admit failure, those that have

[10:30] Techrightssec not moved on yet. Many have gotten bonuses for a "successful" cloud migration

[10:30] Techrightssec and moved out of reach to other companies based on that "success".

[10:30] Techrightssec That'd work. The pi is not so busy CPU-wise it's just that IPFS is hogging

[10:30] Techrightssec all the disk IO and there is not (yet) a way to turn it off using sudo or

[10:30] Techrightssec whatever for the duration of the Gemini scripts' work.

[10:30] Techrightssec Right, but it /hogs/ the disk and nothing else can write properly while IPFS

[10:30] Techrightssec is running.

[10:31] schestowitz-TR given that ipfs is already serving fully from the server, maybe I should keep ipfs OFF here much of the time

[10:31] schestowitz-TR turning it off now..

[10:31] Techrightssec Thanks.

[12:03] schestowitz-TR from the map presented in EP, by the angry MEP, worst increases are not England and Wales

[12:03] schestowitz-TR but German, Greece (I think he is Greek, based on the accent, maybe Cypriot), Finland

[12:03] schestowitz-TR Like 20%-30% higher

[12:03] schestowitz-TR I've still not opened 3 emails about upc, one from Breyer

[12:03] schestowitz-TR I save that for... when I'm done with links

[12:03] schestowitz-TR in order to reduce 'mental clutter'

[12:03] schestowitz-TR IRC is VERY busy today

[12:03] Techrightssec ack

[12:03] schestowitz-TR but at least on topic

[12:03] mjg59_ At least you admit I'm on topic

[12:07] schestowitz-TR the MEP's name is pronnounced 'Tehras', i thionk first name christian or something germanic/anglican

[12:07] schestowitz-TR but I don't know his background

[12:07] schestowitz-TR many other MEPs don't want to bring up the issue

[12:07] schestowitz-TR for fear of getting 'canceled'

[12:07] schestowitz-TR though a British MP brought it up this past month

[12:07] schestowitz-TR and this MP is not a lawyer

[12:07] schestowitz-TR he's a scientists

[12:07] schestowitz-TR he complained that parents who lost kids are being painted "antivax"

[12:07] schestowitz-TR and that many deaths are not correctly registered

[12:07] schestowitz-TR I reckon ONS will face pressure to stop publishing data "so often"

[12:07] schestowitz-TR like secret agencies delay classification changes untilt he outrage is curtailed

[14:15] schestowitz-TR mumble works very well

[14:15] schestowitz-TR we had some guests

[14:15] schestowitz-TR testiing images, etc.

[14:15] schestowitz-TR commentr per user, authentication for nicks, adjusting volume per person

[14:15] schestowitz-TR adjusting echo cancelation

[14:15] schestowitz-TR it has all the key features

[14:15] schestowitz-TR so it's on almost all the time

[14:15] schestowitz-TR i wish we had done that earlier

[14:30] Techrightssec excellent

[14:30] Techrightssec mumble is a great tool

[14:31] schestowitz-TR for now we did not add more categories as the UI is 'difficult' already for some

[14:31] schestowitz-TR who are simply not accustomed to it

[14:32] starstreak the mumble UI is trash imo

[14:33] starstreak it uses qt

[14:33] starstreak it also ignores my dark mode theme

[14:38] schestowitz-TR i set mubble to ddark theme

[14:38] schestowitz-TR if has an option for it

[14:38] schestowitz-TR and then followed by restart

[14:41] starstreak oh there we go

[15:06] schestowitz-TR oh yes, that is also applicable to pluspora, joindiaspor etc.

[15:06] Techrightssec and the "fediverse"

[15:07] schestowitz-TR yes, I intentionally named alternative to the fediverse

[15:07] schestowitz-TR self-hosting is the way to go

[16:38] schestowitz-TR a) waiting to test mumble with a gurst before recording 6 videos (would take server offline)

[16:38] schestowitz-TR b) best approach for drive repair is move everything to another machine (all the tasks), then decommision drive

[16:38] schestowitz-TR just waiting for next crash and then debug a bit
