[08:57] schestowitz Humble Bundle retires all Mac and Linux games from the Humble Trove starting February 1st

[08:57] schestowitz

[08:57] -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-www.neowin.net | Humble Bundle retires all Mac and Linux games from the Humble Trove starting February 1st - Neowin

[08:57] schestowitz The news comes one day after Humble announced changes to its Humble Choice subscription model which, while buried in the announcement, requires use of their new launcher. Its a minor blow to those who pre-ordered Steam Deck or will be running Steam OS 3.0 next month. Its a big year for gaming on Linux and an even bigger year for portable gaming as new users around the world are set to get their hands on the powerful

[08:57] schestowitz device. But for Humble Bundle, its seemingly not worth the effort.

[08:57] schestowitz For those who remember, Humble Bundle started out offering DRM free games for Linux way back in 2010. At that point in time they were indeed a humble outfit.

[09:15] Techrights-sec It's feasible to migrate a RPi4 to boot from USB stick with minimal down time.

[09:15] Techrights-sec However since I included both a hardware and operating system upgrade, there

[09:15] Techrights-sec are a lot of loose ends to tie up. That includes notifications and such.

[09:15] schestowitz-TR2 ok

[09:15] schestowitz-TR2 I worry a bit about debian

[09:15] schestowitz-TR2 last night norbert (kde, latex packages etc.) said he would leave his stuff orphaned

[09:16] schestowitz-TR2 a day earlier debian said it had gotten jkust two new DDs in 2 months

[09:26] Techrights-sec It's feasible to migrate a RPi4 to boot from USB stick with minimal down time.

[09:26] Techrights-sec However since I included both a hardware and operating system upgrade, there

[09:26] Techrights-sec are a lot of loose ends to tie up. That includes notifications and such.

[09:26] Techrights-sec I presume it is part of the sea change in the project that occured with the

[09:26] Techrights-sec TC takeover / intrigue which shoehorned 4th place choice, systemd, throughout

[09:26] Techrights-sec the distro. There have been many other scandals since then.

[09:26] Techrights-sec There are two conflicting situations affecting all potential developers there

[09:26] Techrights-sec and elsewhere. One is that volunteer project members want to focus on the

[09:26] Techrights-sec code and not CoCs and other barriers to focusing on the code. The other is, as

[09:26] Techrights-sec RMS points out, you can ignore the politics but the politics won't ignore you.

[09:26] Techrights-sec Those two facts cause problems where they collide.

[09:26] Techrights-sec Speaking of politics notice that the US' concern about critical infrastructure

[09:26] Techrights-sec is shifting all of the blame and attention on to FOSS. At the same time

[09:26] Techrights-sec only the big, proprietary vendors are invided to the planning sessions with the

[09:26] Techrights-sec government. They bring in clowns instead of the big names. They should at least

[09:26] Techrights-sec be consulting with Bruce Perens, Bruce Schneier, Dan Geer, Moxie Marlinspike,

[09:26] Techrights-sec etc.

[09:26] Techrights-sec Eugene Spafford, etc.

[09:26] Techrights-sec (notice that Spaf's quote about Windows is now missing from pretty much every

[09:26] Techrights-sec page that includes his old quotes...)

[09:28] Techrights-sec Daniel Bernstein, Paul Vixie,

[09:28] schestowitz-TR2 Yes, I have noticed the same, mentioned in passing in last night';s video

[09:39] schestowitz http://techrights.org/2021/05/02/ransomware-task-force/

[09:39] -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-techrights.org | Microsoft-Centric Ransomware Task Force | Techrights

[09:39] Techrights-sec even RMS and Linus Torvalds could add benefit if they had not been reframed

[09:39] Techrights-sec as controversial by the attackers now moving in and out of DC.

[09:39] Techrights-sec Wietse Venema is in the US too

[09:39] Techrights-sec Phill Zimmermann is still around too

[09:39] Techrights-sec the list of knowledgable, skilled, experienced people is long. No need for them

[09:39] Techrights-sec to include any frauds, charlatans, or poseurs. But that's what we get when

[09:39] Techrights-sec M$ reps got in on the campaign team. Many of those involved in LibreSSL and

[09:39] Techrights-sec OpenSSL are in the US as well.

[09:39] Techrights-sec M$ created the problems, and therefore is unable to solve them and it would be

[09:39] Techrights-sec inappropriate to even have them involved.

[09:39] Techrights-sec There's a famous quote which goes approximately like this, "we cannot solve our

[09:39] Techrights-sec problems with the same thinking we used to create them." As such M$

[09:39] Techrights-sec representatives have to be cleared from the room long, long before discussion

[09:39] Techrights-sec can start.

[09:43] Techrights-sec ack

[09:43] Techrights-sec Ransomware is just one symptom of microsoftianism. Even if Windows is retained

[09:43] Techrights-sec for a shorter period on the desktop, servers could run FreeBSD with OpenZFS.

[09:43] Techrights-sec The snapshotting feature would make data restoration much less inconvenient.

[09:43] Techrights-sec However, any real plan has to eliminate M$ from both the desktop and the

[09:43] Techrights-sec supporting infrastructure. That is a staffing problem not a technical one.

[09:58] Techrights-sec Even microsofters, such as Mitchel Lewis, observe that, but most don't dare

[09:58] Techrights-sec speak up. I presume fear of NDAs and non-disparagement clauses in various

[09:58] Techrights-sec contracts, especially terinations.

[09:59] Techrights-sec shopuld we do some article about this?

[09:59] schestowitz-TR2 shopuld we do some article about this?

[10:06] Techrights-sec About the disappearance of the Spafford quote? It used to be cited everywhere

[10:06] Techrights-sec but most of those sites are gone and the rest seem to have redacted just that one

[10:06] Techrights-sec quote.

[12:34] schestowitz-TR wordpress in action

[12:34] schestowitz-TR or MIA

[12:40] Techrights-sec is there a /usable/ API for wordpress? Or must one spend two weeks learning and

[12:40] Techrights-sec debugging it?

[12:40] schestowitz-TR If there is one, it probably sucks

[12:50] Techrights-sec Maybe the site could be moved to Hugo or something for all new pages. For all

[12:50] Techrights-sec old URLs a redirect to static, archived copies could be used. Both Apache2 and

[12:50] Techrights-sec Nginx can do that redirection easily. wget could be used to scrape and make the

[12:50] Techrights-sec static archive.

[12:51] schestowitz-TR there would be many practical limitations

[12:51] *psydroid4 (~psydroid@cqggrmwgu7gji.irc) has joined #boycottnovell

● Jan 14

[13:19] Techrights-sec What do you see as the main practical limitations? It would greatly reduce the

[13:19] Techrights-sec amount of system resources required by the site. I figure maintenance would

[13:19] Techrights-sec be much easier too.

[13:19] schestowitz-TR things like site search and linking between posts would be a lot harder

[13:21] Techrights-sec the links would remain the same but nothing dynamic between new and old.

[14:16] Techrights-sec When you c

[14:16] Techrights-sec get a chance, can you test

[14:16] Techrights-sec /usr/local/bin/buzzer-quick.py##############################

[14:16] Techrights-sec and

[14:16] Techrights-sec aplay /usr/share/quiterss/sound/notification.wav

[14:16] Techrights-sec I think I have restored the audio.

[14:16] Techrights-sec No, just a heads up that I was having to logout/login again. It is necessary

[14:17] Techrights-sec to do that to adjust group memberships so that the audio and other alerts can

[14:17] Techrights-sec be used again.

[14:17] schestowitz-TR ok, I ask because I heard lots of sounds while I was talking and thought maybe I had lost many things you typed

[14:17] schestowitz-TR I was just recording

[14:17] schestowitz-TR did you say something before resetting this chat session?

[14:17] Techrights-sec Sorry, just adjusting the activity alerts here.

[14:19] Techrights-sec I have them through a script

[14:19] Techrights-sec now so it far easier and less disruptive to adjust it. Now only the script

[14:19] Techrights-sec has to be adjusted for changes whereas before I had hardcoded stuff into tmux.

[14:19] Techrights-sec Also, I have an idea for a better chat method but it might take a week or two

[14:19] Techrights-sec to hammer out the details. It'd use tmux but not ytalk.

[14:45] schestowitz-TR OK, video processing

[14:45] schestowitz-TR now I finished the text

[14:45] schestowitz-TR maybe next time when I record I'll send a sign I'm "on air"

[14:45] schestowitz-TR as the session restarting and all (special sounds) distracted me a great deal ;-

[14:46] Techrights-sec ;(

[14:46] Techrights-sec sound good

[14:46] schestowitz-TR maybe "ota"

[14:49] Techrights-sec I use hooks in tmux to monitor activity launch an alert script, so to silence

[14:49] Techrights-sec the script, i make this window active. Making any other window active or

[14:49] Techrights-sec detaching the session makes tmux trigger the script upon any fresh activity

[14:49] Techrights-sec in this window.
