[05:37] Techrightssec many other institutions become m$ resellers via the budget which was formerly

[05:37] Techrightssec and independent IT department that used to support the staff rather than

[05:37] Techrightssec fight and subjugate them

[05:40] schestowitz-TR speaking of certifications, I find that those pursuing them usually try to compensate for a lack of relevant degree

[05:40] schestowitz-TR memorisation instead of proper undersatanding

[05:40] schestowitz-TR "will follow manuals for food"

[05:40] schestowitz-TR I think I can combine a discussin of clown computing (not so much to say that's new) with a video about mumble

[05:41] schestowitz-TR also, with clown computing, none of what was said is new, I think

[05:41] schestowitz-TR there is a strong counter-clown 'movement'

[05:41] schestowitz-TR but the way it argues may vary a bit

● Nov 16

[06:28] schestowitz-TR status update

[06:28] schestowitz-TR a) prioriting site updates

[06:28] schestowitz-TR b) adjusting to new routines

[06:28] schestowitz-TR c) sleeping a bit more

[06:28] schestowitz-TR d) have some video ideas, e.g. mumble, but need more days/weeks to have better grasp/experience

[06:28] schestowitz-TR esp. the clients people use to access it (mumla on android isn't good at noise/echo cancelation)

[06:28] schestowitz-TR it would be a worthy "cause": getting more people to run mumble-server on their PCs/home servers

[06:28] schestowitz-TR to decentralise the communications and move aay from "clown"

[08:01] schestowitz-TR 7:40gmt: for the first time in months I had to restart mysql on tuxmachines-old

[08:01] schestowitz-TR some queries managed to cause it to use up cpu

[08:01] schestowitz-TR it's OK now

[08:01] schestowitz-TR very rare

[08:02] schestowitz-TR I have consequently improved monitoring and response on cavan

[08:02] schestowitz-TR update 7:55gmt: seeing that this keeps happening, I've run the ddos protection script again

[08:02] schestowitz-TR for the first time since we moved to the new site

[08:02] schestowitz-TR you'd be surprised how much traffic the "old" site still gets, mostly owing to its size

[10:53] schestowitz-TR 9 people so far in mumble

[10:53] schestowitz-TR rianne found a way around the echo/feedback

[10:53] schestowitz-TR over mumla (relative)

[10:53] schestowitz-TR I only saw some video and screenshots of mumla

[10:53] schestowitz-TR it seems not so difficult

[10:53] schestowitz-TR even technophobes managed to get it goind on their own

[10:53] schestowitz-TR maybe with some help from us

[13:35] schestowitz-TR been almost a week since spamnil last uploaded a video

[13:35] schestowitz-TR rianne says "stubborn"

[13:35] schestowitz-TR the clickfraud was a last go at it

[13:36] Techrightssec ack

[13:36] Techrightssec I won't give him the dignity of even one click

[13:36] Techrightssec Let him keep buying clicks.

[13:36] Techrightssec However, the real problem is that the LF almost certainly knows what he is yet

[13:36] Techrightssec continues to employ him while having fired the real writers and editors.

[13:38] schestowitz-TR they don't have the stomch to throw him in the bakkt

[13:38] schestowitz-TR apropos, ftx was a top sponsor of biden

[13:38] schestowitz-TR and many more revelations now emerge along those lines

[13:38] schestowitz-TR and all those who facilitated the scam

[13:38] schestowitz-TR inc. the role of nat friedman

[13:38] schestowitz-TR I frogot some of the other connections, but WEF endorsed this shit!

[13:57] Techrightssec ack

[13:57] Techrightssec FTX went under just after the US mid-term election

● Nov 16

[14:01] schestowitz-TR I'd gladly do a video+article about it if I knew more

[14:01] schestowitz-TR all this crypto BS is intentionally cryptics

[14:02] schestowitz-TR they disguise the BS using buzzwords and "bro" lingo

[14:02] schestowitz-TR net effect: RealMoney got in, no money comes out, apparently lots of RealMoney was passed to another shell

[14:02] schestowitz-TR nobody will be held accountable, and maybe later on Andrew Lee the "crypto" prince will hire one as a CTO

[14:14] *matteobin (~matteobin@tecziqbycf9k2.irc) has joined #boycottnovell

[14:23] Techrightssec Yes, FTX will be investigated because real money got in and vanished.

[14:23] Techrightssec About the only thing known so far is the list of investment companies which

[14:23] Techrightssec were taken for fools. The guy running FTX will go to jail because, to

[14:23] Techrightssec paraphrase George Carlin, it's a big club and he ain't in it. It's akin

[14:23] Techrightssec to that Usenet guy who went to jail over stock market hype and the general

[14:23] Techrightssec investment market picked up and specialized in his exact tactics while he was

[14:23] Techrightssec in jail and, unlike him, they neither went to jail nor were forced to hand over

[14:23] Techrightssec their proceeds.

[14:23] Techrightssec The crime in both cases appears to be of depriving the wrong crowd of money,

[14:23] Techrightssec unlike what happened in 2008 or with Enron.

[14:24] Techrightssec There aren't many facts known but the list of major chumps is published already.

[14:24] schestowitz-TR my friend lost almost everything to them

[14:24] schestowitz-TR on the financial side, not counting job, health, and partner

[14:24] schestowitz-TR oh, and his home

[14:24] Techrightssec That's too bad. It's sad to hear.

[14:29] schestowitz-TR for about a year he refrained from replying to me

[14:29] schestowitz-TR mostly for shame (saving face)I had already warned him repeatedlty after sharlatans -- chinese, italian and saudi --

[14:29] schestowitz-TR took him for fool and ran away with his money (or did not pay)

[14:29] schestowitz-TR *charlatans

[14:29] schestowitz-TR at one point he asked me if I wanted to "invest" and after some research I showed him it was total BS

[14:29] schestowitz-TR he should know that, hs'e a prof.

[14:29] schestowitz-TR he also blew his inheritence money on a shirry "sports" car that deleeted in value rapidly and was short-term boast/status symbol

[14:29] schestowitz-TR *depleted/depreciated

[14:32] Techrightssec ack

[14:32] Techrightssec :(

[14:32] Techrightssec Cars usually lose at least half their "value" during the act of driving it

[14:32] Techrightssec off the sales lot.

[18:18] schestowitz-TR norway is ranked highly for press freedom

[18:18] schestowitz-TR but that might change

[18:18] schestowitz-TR draft, short

[18:21] Techrightssec Apropos the draft, make sure that the GemText will make sense.

[18:22] schestowitz-TR iirc, the captions are appended to alt

[18:23] Techrightssec The body text needs to stand on its own too though.

[19:11] schestowitz-TR lol, spamnil 1.5 month video... 9 views

[19:11] schestowitz-TR new record

[19:12] Techrightssec And two of those were from you and Rianne?

[19:12] schestowitz-TR don't forget spamnil and the gurst

[19:12] schestowitz-TR *guest

[19:16] schestowitz-TR rianne jujst watched the video I uploded of zemlin

[19:16] schestowitz-TR does it work ok for you

[19:16] schestowitz-TR ?

[19:16] schestowitz-TR I encode it better now, a much better process

[19:17] Techrightssec ack

[19:17] Techrightssec Checking

[19:17] Techrightssec Works in VLC just fine

[19:17] Techrightssec at least it does here

[19:17] Techrightssec There was a transcript for that presentation IIRC

[19:18] schestowitz-TR the presentation, wich I 'browsed' by 'tasting' one minute at a time (or play at x2 the speed)

[19:18] schestowitz-TR had no substance to it, it's more like SBOM and GitHub boosting

[19:18] schestowitz-TR so even a transcript would be of no use

[19:18] schestowitz-TR --------------------------------------------------

[19:21] *starstreak (~starstreak@muarsy2vret2q.irc) has joined #boycottnovell

[19:24] Techrightssec The whole presentation would be a waste of time to do and a waste of space to

[19:24] Techrightssec post, but the anecdotal jibe against FOSS was transcribed either from that

[19:24] Techrightssec presentation or one including the same anecdote

[19:24] Techrightssec Either way, the content should be noted for the Gemini viewers

[19:24] Techrightssec I must protest that. The links are useful as supplements put too numerous

[19:24] Techrightssec and unclearly annotated for there to be a reasonable expectation that they

[19:24] Techrightssec are clicked upon. I would higlh recommend a small amount of redundancy

[19:24] schestowitz-TR I linked to a prior rebuttal to a similar "presentation" (Microsoft PR)

[19:24] Techrightssec surrounding the links so that one can have an idea of the destination by

[19:24] schestowitz-TR maybe we should use footnotes for all the referencing, complete with titles?

[19:24] Techrightssec the text surrounding the link. We can study the click-through rate next year

[19:24] Techrightssec but I would guess that it is not a good idea to have people leave the post

[19:24] Techrightssec mid-sentence since there is a good change that they don't come back to

[19:24] Techrightssec finish reading it, whether they wander off or just forget

[19:24] Techrightssec That might be a good idea, if it can be done in a way that works nicely

[19:24] Techrightssec in the Gemini viewers.

[19:27] schestowitz-TR the way the conversion works, it would have just numbers, not number

[19:27] schestowitz-TR unless I use unicide for superscript

[19:27] schestowitz-TR and then below in footbnotes gemini would just show the text and later => link

[19:30] Techrightssec Numbers alone would be very inadequate and best avoided.

[19:30] Techrightssec Remember, one primary goal is to have the visitor finish reading the post

[19:30] Techrightssec and not click away until done. Or at least that's how I see it. If they

[19:30] Techrightssec don't get the information through reading, they may stop reading. Or if they

[19:30] Techrightssec start clicking in desperate hope of finding the information elsewhere, there

[19:30] Techrightssec are a multitude of reasons why they might not end up returning to finish reading

[19:30] Techrightssec Time is just one of many.

[19:30] schestowitz-TR not sure how people use gemini, but I typically open links in background tabs and carry on reading

[19:37] Techrightssec There seem to be no Gemini logs, but one aim I see is to support and encourage

[19:37] Techrightssec Gemini usage. That is predicated on having content.

[19:37] Techrightssec I would think that similar principles apply to the WWW version too.

[19:37] Techrightssec On a different subject, this dissertation is a gold mine of potential topics

[19:37] Techrightssec for posts: https://research.tue.nl/en/publications/communication-in-a-world-of-pervasive-surveillance-sources-and-me

[19:37] Techrightssec Even just searching the PDF for keywords instead of reading it through and

[19:37] -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-research.tue.nl | Communication in a world of pervasive surveillance: Sources and methods: Counter-strategies against pervasive surveillance architecture Eindhoven University of Technology research portal

[19:37] Techrightssec making notes would work.

[19:39] schestowitz-TR thanks, I will look

[19:39] schestowitz-TR I used to have more time and momentum to write long articles

[19:39] schestowitz-TR I need more inspiration

[19:39] schestowitz-TR the new is... "bland"

[19:44] Techrightssec https://research.tue.nl/files/197416841/20220325_Appelbaum_hf.pdf

[19:46] Techrightssec Short articles are good too, but it is not useful if they are too terse.

[19:46] Techrightssec "The Intercept"'s practice of hanging sources out to dry is noted in the

[19:46] Techrightssec dissertation.

[19:49] schestowitz-TR the main channel discussed software freedom

[19:49] schestowitz-TR then someone changed the subject to "rape" and wikileaks

[19:49] schestowitz-TR bringing the channel back on topic essential

[19:49] schestowitz-TR back in a bit, cleaning rss feeds again

[19:49] schestowitz-TR no good topics for videos just yet

[19:49] schestowitz-TR (or none we did not cover already, even recently)

[19:50] Techrightssec Typical. Any disussion of the f-word in any forum will be targeted thusly.

[19:50] Techrightssec For topics, see the above PDF and pick a random subsection.

[19:50] Techrightssec Most have been covered before or at least touched on but there are new angles

[19:50] Techrightssec and in some cases new information there.
