✐ An_Informal_Handbook_for_Digital_Advocates_(or_Activists)_and_Campaigning⠀✐

Posted in Deception, Free/Libre_Software at 3:54 pm by Dr. Roy Schestowitz

🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇Roy as a teen⦈ Summary: After about two decades of online

campaigning I take a look back at some lessons learned, especially regarding

effective advocacy

TODAY I’d like to speak about things I learned about campaigning online, based

on both successes and failures. “Boycott Novell” was very successful and prior

to that I was known online mostly because of USENET and social control media

sites, notably Digg.com (where I was ranked 17th overall). I had already been

ranked first in the world for some programming hubs and I participated in

projects like WordPress since 2004. I used to write a lot more code in those

days.

Around 2006 I started writing a lot more text than code. Advocacy of GNU/Linux

was a priority and I even had a gig at Netscape doing this for 2 years.

Even though the lessons described here are based on advocacy in the area of

Free software some of the lessons are not limited to technology. It’s just that

my personal experience is in the digital realm, dealing with digital issues in

the digital space, notably online (Web or Internet at large).

§ Lack of Distraction⠀➾

Principled advocacy is important, but uncompromising is another aspect. One

must constantly remember the goal (Richard Stallman told_me_that_in_person_one

decade_ago). Some compromises are OK (Stallman compromised with Wikipedia on

the licence), but when Microsoft says something like “Open Source has won”

(they mean openwashing) you know you’ve lost and they have won. They subverted

the OSI and the Linux_Foundation from their inner core, mostly by bribery,

shoehorned by lie/PR campaigns.

“Principled advocacy is important, but uncompromising is another aspect.”For

those who haven’t noticed, “open AT Microsoft” was an Edelman campaign and the

person who started it is now the boss of Linus Torvalds and “open”JS. No, she’s

not technical at all. Those are professional, qualified liars. Speaking of

lies, “Microsoft loves Linux” was a mostly failed PR campaign (almost nobody

believed this provocative lie; it’s mostly abandoned by now, as a sound bite at

least). Speaking of abandoned, how often do we hear of “WSL” these days? It’s a

zombie, waiting for the layoffs to come sweeping across and dump the entire

team (if it hasn’t happened already).

Don’t listen to trolls and lies. They’re a waste of time.

§ Communicate With Corporations Using the Only Language They Grok: Money⠀➾

It may not sound nice, but it is true and the late head of FFII spoke of how to

deal with lobbyists. He also wrote about it, but his books that explain this

are offline now, as we noted last week (he failed when it comes to self-

hosting*).

“Uproar and outrage send them a message, as do boycotts.”He basically said we’d

win the battle the moment the economic benefits shift in our favour. We need to

work towards making it too expensive for our enemies to antagonise us, or make

it too costly to go against the widespread psyche/cognition. Uproar and outrage

send them a message, as do boycotts. Do not use social control media; it’s a

centrally-suppressed tool of censorship and it can easily be manipulated at

scale. Even the Fediverse.

I still have plenty left to learn about the methods**, but the short formula

is: a) identify the desired condition. b) make the public aware of the issues

at stake. c) hope that the target business realises that for profit’s sake it’s

favourable to adapt to or publicly signal support for the above condition.

Sometimes the business turns from active to passive or silent (for fear of

backlash).

Consider as a timely example the latest case of Google turning nasty. “Web

Environment Integrity” (DRM) can be combated by mass rejection of Chrome,

YouTube etc. Today we reposted_the_FSF's_statement after we had made a couple

of_our_own. Google knows this is very bad publicity that will harm revenue.

Will Google decide to retreat? We’ll cover this again some other day.

§ Don’t Give Up⠀➾

The cycle of campaigning should be something like advocate (or boycott) x -

advocate x some more -> then y copies x -> y spreads x -> market conditions

change -> foe changes course.

“Over the years pessimism and disappointments can be turned into low

expectations (a priori), which strengthen the mind and assure perseverance.”The

important thing is not to relent, not to give up. PR people understand that

defeatism is the worst enemy of activists, so they always try to gaslight and

demoralise the activists, making them feel like they have no impact at all, no

progress is made, and corporate agenda is immovable, unshaken. They will never

admit defeat or show weakness as that can embolden activists.

So don’t give up. Just consider alternative approaches though, maybe

contingencies and new alliances with more people/groups. Over the years

pessimism and disappointments can be turned into low expectations (a priori),

which strengthen the mind and assure perseverance. Every failure is at least an

opportunity to learn. █


targeting an old and dying audience — a medium that won’t age well as

availability cannot be assured, especially if things go digital and younger

people are encouraged to maintain short attention spans. If something does not

increase some score (“like” etc. or gamification basically), there’s no

incentive to carry on, it cannot be quantified and thus does not count. People

like to “emit” progress online for recognition and affirmation. Saying “I read

X pages of a book today” won’t impress youngsters. In a broader sense, activism

through books means going “under” for a longer period of time, then emerging to

sell some book that few will bother to read, even if it’s Open Access (due to

length mostly). Over the years both people and companies suggested that I write

books — suggestions which I always turned down. Another issue is, books are

considered “slow” and most issues are already outdated or irrelevant or

forgotten by the time the book comes out. Some time later, unless a new edition

comes out, those books are considered “old”. Their “shelf life” in the physical

sense might be OK, but not many people reach out for the “old” shelves. What

matters a lot is pace of publication (frequency and speed). It may matter more

than depth and polish.

turned 20 last year and my blog turns 20 next year). Herein, the cheatsheet or

cribs note can fit on a single sheet of paper, no need for “books”.

Summary: As Ryan_has_just_noted, Matthew_J_Garrett is sexualising women, saying

he wants to snort cocaine from intimate parts of their bodies, and he even

doxes them to their employers (to cause them to lose their job); this is

extreme misogyny, going way beyond being just an incel and potentially

violating several British laws, as we’ll explain in a_long_series_next_month

WWordPress makes useless updates that just break the site in SeaMonkey for no

reason.

This has prevented me from logging in with SeaMonkey because instead of the log

in page, you’ll just see the WordPress logo.

Thankfully, PaleFills 1.27 is out now and it rolls some fixes for WordPress.com

needlessly breaking things.

It’s ridiculous when I have to stop using in SeaMonkey because they make a

pointless change that brings more GoogleShit in when standard Web functionality

(which works in Chrome too!) could have been left alone.

Roy Schestowitz recently posted about Google’s_new_initiative_to_finish

destroying_the_open_Web.

It mentions that most of the growth in Web pages today are computer-generated

spew designed to SEO-bomb Google and they really are pretty useless.

In the late 90s and early 2000s we had things like dmoz which was basically a

human-curated index of things that real people wrote.

I was going to write an entire article about how Fedora bombed me with 10

updates to Firefox in a month where Mozilla only made three releases, and one

of those releases was for Windows because malware that’s been spying on Windows

Firefox users since 2016 finally crashed it, and then another update for

Windows because Chinese “anti-virus” was crashing it.

So I had to get 10 whole RPMs downloaded and unpacked because Mozilla is

bumping the version number uselessly and Fedora keeps shitting out one patch

releases where the patch itself is quite broken and then they go back and patch

it three more times.

So I finally yanked it out with dnf remove firefox and installed Firefox 115

ESR from the Mozilla tarball and set it up with their instructions for a

systemwide install and then unpacked a firefox.desktop from a Fedora RPM that

sits in my taskbar with extras like “New Private Window”.

Then I sat down and turned off and hid the DRM and spyware (like “Firefox

Suggest”) all over again, and installed my add-ons. Hopefully, I get less

update churn this way.

ESR is like the “slow ring” that people who don’t want to go crazy use that

Mozilla doesn’t want to admit is an option. To even find it on their site

requires real work because Mozilla only blares loudly that there’s a Windows

and Mac, and then in itty bitty font there’s a link called “Other Systems and

Languages”.

It’s like the slow ring build of Windows that Microsoft doesn’t just randomly

chuck untested broken updates into your system with a manure spreader to see if

they’re legit for the corporate users that pay them more.

(Microsoft apparently used to have like 10,000 paid testers to figure out what

was wrong with Windows before it shipped and now they just use Joe Sixpack’s

computer he got at Walmart and if they break it every month somehow, it’s his

problem. Anyway, this is certainly one reason I use Linux.)

Modern software and the modern Web just do things you already did 20 years ago,

only 1,000 times bigger and with more ads and spyware.

For the most part, I think Fedora 38 works quite well. It’s been stable to the

point of boring for a while everywhere but Firefox. Firefox is a very big wart

these days. It’s getting harder to set up than an entire operating system and

half of that is turning off visual eyesores and spyware and adware.

Jamie “Linux is terrible because I tried audio 20 years ago.” Zawinski recently

published yet another article that should be instructive for anyone thinking

they’ll use a Mac as more than a gussied up Chromebook in which sshd randomly

disconnects for reasons unknown. Maybe he can report it to Apple and they’ll

help him. That was a joke, haha, fat chance.

Apple has Telemetry that bypasses your VPN to spy on you and phone home to

Apple literally every time you click an icon. Ahhh, privacy by Apple, I’d

recognize it anywhere.

At this point, the Mac is definitely just Windows 11 with less software.

The Google plan for “Web Environment Integrity” is Orwellian as hell, and

proves that we need to focus on alternatives to the Web. They use the terms

“integrity” and “security” to mean that the user has no meaningful control over

the program and what it does.

I myself rarely use anything that can’t be loaded in SeaMonkey, and usually

SeaMonkey with JavaScript off. I even read my news in it using text with a

Gemini proxy and I read my email with SeaMonkey Mail. It’s had roughly the same

interface since the late 90s. It’s got a better calendar now.

JavaScript is already too much of a security vulnerability and there’s too much

on most Web sites.

SeaMonkey is inherently faster and more efficient than Firefox and Chrome,

among the reasons being that it doesn’t use “multi-vector assault mode” to deal

with Web crap, but it will try to load JavaScript if you don’t use NoScript and

then it can turn into a disaster because you’ll see what Web “developers” are

cramming onto your computer, stealing your CPU time, to run.

The upfront cost of dealing with multi-process is too high if all you want to

use the browser for is to “read documents”. Not for binary-shit and “Virtual

Machine”-type Web “apps”. I have applications on my computer, Free Software

applications.

It would be a huge step backwards to rely on someone running a program on their

server so that I can edit documents or sit down and “paint” something or do

audio work. In the time it takes to communicate with the server, my computer

can be done with the work already.

It doesn’t appear to slow down a modern browser because they just take all

eight of your cores to run ads, NSA scripts to install UEFI malware implants,

and fingerprinters. Om nom nom thank you hoooman….. Burp!

People think I’m some sort of aging hipster or something but I just don’t like

my email program changing buttons around pointlessly like Thunderbird did

again.

When I have things to do, I don’t want to stop and figure out how to use the

email program again.

I learned an email program 25 years ago and why should I change because they

suck? (“Michael Bolton? Like the singer!? For my money it just does not get any

better than when he sings When a Man Loves a Woman!”)

I do most of my browsing in a VPN that uses a server in Sweden or the

Netherlands. Sometimes I use Tor (without JavaScript and with ublock origin) on

top of that.

Proton VPN mentioned an “observatory” project to demonstrate who was signing up

due to government censorship of the local Internet access. In the US you mainly

have to worry about surveillance.

The US does indeed have a “Deep State”. It’s called the federal bench, and

primarily the Supreme Court.

What Donald Trump left behind is a Frankenstein’s Monster with bits and pieces

of the Third Reich and the Taliban.

Even if we assumed that President Biden was a thoroughly good man that wanted

us to live in a Free country (he’s not), Trump left behind these assholes on

the courts as sort of a “Revolutionary Guard” to prevent any sort of personal

liberty or Freedom, and to keep the place turning into as much of a hellhole as

possible until the Republicans gain control of the elected government again.

The coup succeeded, as people_who_lose_their_reproductive_freedom,_for_example,

now_find_out_at_some_great_cost. They catch people whose crime was bodily

autonomy and wanting to finish high school and throw them in jail in places

like Nebraska, because they use Windows, Facebook, iPhones, and Google.

Thinking that you can have privacy and liberty without Free Software is a “fuck

around and find out” situation now, in America.

Future historians will likely look back at images like this young girl being

taken to jail and see the police enforcing laws targeting vulnerable women as

something comparable to the beginning of guards at Auschwitz or Treblinka

working for the Nazi regime and cashing the paychecks.

All the while, the “left coast” tech companies being an indispensable part of

hunting them down like dogs using the paper trails they leave while they use

proprietary operating systems, and apps such as Facebook and Google.

 “Villains who twirl their mustaches are easy to spot. Those who

 clothe themselves in good deeds are well camouflaged.”

 -Captain Jean-Luc Picard, Star Trek: The Next Generation

People like Matthew Garretthelped to trap victims of the Police State in

Microsoft Windows, where they are being persistently spied upon by a multitude

of malicious Windows functions that cannot all be terminated.

Right now, there are actually some computers that are trapping the user on

Windows with “secure boot” and other maliciousness, sometimes pretending to be

bugs, and when you call them out then Mr. Garrett will defend the bad guys and

attack you, defame you, like he has done to me multiple times when I have

successfully pushed back on them (Lenovo, Samsung, Foxconn…Microsoft uses

companies like this as a liability condom so they have this sort of plausible

deniability), although for the time being many just make it damned hard to

kill.

The situation is rapidly moving in the wrong direction, and Matthew Garrett

actually tricked the Free Software Foundation into giving him an award for

helping the enemies of Freedom and Free Society.

Matthew Garrettmay not be the State hauling a scared young girl to prison for

an abortion, but Matthew Garrett helped design the “digital concentration camp”

(“Secure Boot”), which helps enforce Windows usage that the State uses to prove

its case in court.

The State does not want one system to spy on you, it wants dozens so that you

won’t slip them all. Matthew Garrett is a collaborator in this sense of the

word.

Matthew Garrett is a rather awful person, you know. When he’s not busy as a

henchman for the Republic(ans)_of_Gilead, he’s busy harassing the TechRights

IRC channel.

He goes there digging for dirt and calling people “transphobe” or something

even though he “definitely said some transphobic shit, like 20 years ago” as a

grown adult.

His latest antics are to set up sockpuppet accounts and repeatedly post about

being a “dope dealing n******” (direct quote…I think this behavior is

appalling) or as his other sock, he keeps disrupting the room and saying things

like he wants to do lines of cocaine off of Roy’s wife’s boobs. (And also,

butt, apparently.)

He can’t say this stuff as Matthew Garrett, because he has to publicly say

things like he was shocked about the “Big Boobies” scandal where his friends at

Microsoft put boob references in their code and shoved it into Linux. So he

uses a sock-puppet.

When the sock-puppet deviates from things like cocaine off of boobies, it

speaks using the same sentence structures, typing style, arguments, calling

everyone a transphobe, etc. that Matthew Garrett (mjg59_) does. So it’s not

even like he’s trying to make a huge secret out of it being him.

We usually just refer to him as a Conference Pervert because he told Roy that

if you don’t go to open source conferences for the sex with strangers then “Oh,

man, you’re missing out!”.

I was recently at a convention in Indianapolis, and several hundred people

showed up and had fun and respected boundaries, and then we had one Conference

Pervert (not Garrett) that had to grope an underage girl by the boobs near the

swimming pool.

When people like this show up, the hotel may throw the entire convention and

everyone who showed up there to have fun and behave themselves, out. And

everyone who behaved just loses the money they spent.

Not Garrett himself, but some other Microsoft trolls, accused Roy’s wife of

being a “mail order bride”.

It’s what they have to go to when someone isn’t openly flaunting their

corruption, like Garrett does. Garrett actually seems to enjoy flaunting

disgusting and anti-social behaviors, especially about sex.

Shifting gears again, today my mother’s Facebook account got “hacked” (I guess

someone guessed the password in their very Apple-like void of security.)

They started posting all sorts of smut and obscenity for her very conservative

church friends to see.

Had she done what I told her to do, what I did, and deleted her account, she

wouldn’t have had hijackers spamming her church friends with hardcore porn.

The media likes to use the term “user” strangely. You don’t use these things.

They are being used against you. █

Summary: “Microsoft’s Azure revenue is at least 25% lower” than previous

estimates. It’s easy to see why Azure has had considerable_layoffs in 2020,

2021, 2022, and plenty more this year. Maybe half of the “revenue” was all

along fake (or the same money counted twice, even thrice). What are the_legal

consequences and will anybody be held accountable for it? How faked were last

week's_reported_numbers?

✐ [Meme]_What_Only_Hundreds_of_Thousands_in_Bribes_Bought_Microsoft_in_the_Open

Source_Initiative⠀✐

Posted in Deception, Microsoft, OSI at 12:48 am by Dr. Roy Schestowitz

        🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇OSI_bribes:_O.S.I.:_Bribes_first.⦈_

Still openwashing the Microsoft agenda while openly admitting that Microsoft

sponsors this openwashing:

            🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇OSI:_Salaried_by_Microsoft⦈_

       Latest in the site of the Open Source Washing Initiative

Summary: In the Linux_Foundation, Microsoft already_bought_3_seats_inside_the

board; in the Open Source Initiative (OSI) it took over for vastly less because

it’s cheaper to obliterate the competition (from_the_inside) than to properly

compete

            # ⚓ Lunch_break⠀⇛

                   Looks more like the integral of individual

                   selfishness bountifully abundance left, right, and

                   middle to me.

                   Great time as my wife’s high school reunion, last

                   night! I love seeing old black and white yearbook

                   pictures from our day, complete with the insane

                   hair styles we wore.

            # ⚓ Slow_Time⠀⇛

                   Quiet day. Quiet weekend. After Friday’s trip out

                   of the city, we got back early in the morning.

                   Misjudged the time a bit, spending about an hour

                   longer than expected. Meaning we didn’t leave for

                   home until almost 1. Over 120 km on the highway.

                   Dropped our friends off, then back home, let the

                   dogs out – past 3 by the time we finally fell

                   asleep.

                   That’s fine when you’re 20 (unless you’re me, old

                   even when I was young), but takes a while for me to

                   recover from now. Yesterday we didn’t do much of

                   much. Checked my email in the morning, found my

                   first poetry acceptance of 2023. I ran some errands

                   in the early afternoon. We watched the Jays game,

                   ordered in some food, started Good Omens 2 in the

                   evening. I drifted off reading a novel around 11

                   (Fawn Parker, “What We Both Know”). Woke up around

                   midnight with it resting on my chest.

            # ⚓ The_Game⠀⇛

                   I came a across a double deck of playing cards that

                   got buried when we moved in January. I use it to

                   play a solitaire game my sister learned in college,

                   and passed along to my dad and I. Never knowing

                   what it’s call, we’ve always simply called it “The

                   Game”.

      o § Politics and World Events⠀➾

            # ⚓ Banking_is_a_state_in_this_state⠀⇛

                   I moved from the UK to Germany a couple of years

                   ago. As hoped (and expected), the vast majority of

                   things over here are better. People seem much more

                   chill and friendly for the most part, and the

                   quality of life is noticably better than in the

                   city in which I used to live. I can safely say I

                   don’t really miss the UK much at all.

                   However, there is one thing that Germany just

                   doens’t seem to be able to get right: finance

                   tools.

                   Given that Frankfurt is the financial capital of

                   Europe, it might sound a bit strange to say this.

                   But Germany’s day-to-day banking and in-person

                   transactions are a complete shambles.

World Wide Web but a lot lighter.

            # ⚓ 🔤SpellBinding:_IMOPSTY_Wordo:_LOUTS⠀⇛

            # ⚓ hobby_annoyances⠀⇛

                   I’m in a little bit of a hobby crisis!

                   I think it is great to have many hobbies and

                   interests; after all, some might be seasonal, so we

                   need other hobbies for other seasons, or we grow

                   tired of one and find relief in the other. There

                   are some that we can’t do while sick, and some we

                   can do. There are mindless ones we can do on the

                   side when we don’t have much energy or focus left

                   or can’t come up with an idea, and some that demand

                   our whole attention and planning. It’s great how

                   versatile everything can be.

                   However, I am frustrated about wanting to do all my

                   hobbies at the same time, and committing to one is

                   making me sad I am not doing the other. They’re all

                   there to be picked up, and it’s really hard to

                   decide most days.

                   I know hobbies come and go, have more intense and

                   less intense phases, but still.

      o § Politics and World Events⠀➾

            # ⚓ A_History_of_Timebanking⠀⇛

                   The roots of timebanking can be found in what early

                   economists of the late 1700s like Adam Smith and

                   David Ricardo described as the “Labor Theory of

                   Value” (LTV); which proposes that all commodities

                   produced in a market system originate their value

                   in human labor.

            # ⚓ Dead_Cities⠀⇛

                   So I’ve been thinking about cities a lot lately,

                   having moved into a new one.

                   I look at Inverness, my new city, and I see it

                   bustling with life. There’s a burgeoning queer

                   community, an up-and-coming eco-friendly scene, and

                   a few lovely small businesses soldiering on every

                   day.

                   Compared to my last city (Torquay, actually a town

                   I believe) this is a breath of life.

      o § Technology and Free Software⠀➾

            # ⚓ Alternatives_to_High-Profile_Games_on_OpenBSD⠀⇛

                   Some games stand out in terms of popularity and

                   critical appraisal, so it’s only natural that those

                   are attracting more attention and this is what

                   people might look for if they want to judge if an

                   alternative operating system or platform can help

                   satisfy their gaming preferences.

                   Naturally, OpenBSD with its security focus and

                   intentional absence of emulation/compatibility

                   layers doesn’t make for a target for many high-

                   budget/high profile games. Many of the engines used

                   in those settings will possibly never run on

                   OpenBSD: Unity, Unreal, CryEngine…

            # ⚓ 8-channel_DS18B20_temperature_logger_with_AVR_and_UART⠀⇛

                   So here’s the problem: Say you want to log some

                   temperatures over the course of several hours, or

                   even days at a time. You’ll need something to store

                   all those data to; a Raspberry Pi or an old laptop

                   will do the trick. A single temperature probe won’t

                   cut it though, because you’re interested in several

                   spots and the temperature difference between them.

                   Whipping up a single analog sensor and the

                   accompanying AD converter may be feasible, but

                   doing that multiple times will get long in the

                   tooth pretty soon, since you’ll have to calibrate

                   each one somehow. The next best option is, of

                   course, the now ubiquitous DS18B20 from Dallas/

                   Maxim/Analog (whatever): It is cheap, reasonably

                   precise and accurate, calibrated right out of the

                   box, and you can easily put a bunch of them on a

                   single 1-wire bus. In case you’re looking for

                   something even more precise (and more accurate,

                   too, as long as you can calibrate it that well

                   yourself), I can highly recommend you the work of

                   Ed Mallon over at The Cave Pearl Project!

            # ⚓ Trying_to_hack_my_Kobo_eReader.⠀⇛

                   I recently got a Kobo Clara 2E e-book reader.

                   I like it a lot, it’s really gotten me in to

                   reading again. I don’t mind paying for the e-books,

                   and though there are a lot of aspects of the system

                   that I’m strictly against, such as mandatory logins

                   for internet access, sync and updates (though this

                   can be bypassed), tracking/telemetry and DRM on

                   purchased books, I’m frankly too lazy to deal with

                   all the issues that come with trying to bypass all

                   these.

            # ⚓ The_Perforated_Pipe_Butt⠀⇛

                   Several days have been spent on the topic of the

                   perforated pipe butt. The conversation concerned

                   how to render a particular word in lojban,

                   agglutinative word formation, the distressing

                   details of how lojban weirds aggluting agglutes

                   (aww man, I gotta learn rafsi too?! (no, not

                   really)), that there is an algorithm for this, that

                   grammar parsers can check that your forumlation

                   isn’t totally terrible. Now from a marketing

                   standpoint one would simply not advertise

                   perforated pipe butts. The world is not ready for

                   such logic. However, a showerhead is the end-

                   business of a pipe, and has generally got holes in

                   it, so I’m going with perforated pipe butt. Some

                   may claim that a showerhead might look something

                   like a head, maybe that of a snake wearing a hockey

                   mask. “Water barfer” may also be a good term,

                   especially if there are often air pockets in the

                   line, or if your mental age is somewhere south of

                   12. Again, not so good on the marketing front,

                   where the mantra “do not startle customers with

                   accurate descriptions of reality” is doubtless in

                   fashion.

                  # ⚓ I_Started_a_Mastodon_Server⠀⇛

                         I talked about self-hosting in my last post,

                         but in the end I decided to use managed

                         hosting instead.

                         I had been going through the Mastodon install

                         process on a new VPS when I made the

                         decision. I wanted the flexibility to be able

                         to scale the instance in the future and

                         because of that was starting to setup object

                         storage for media uploads. That’s when the

                         complexity of what I was setting up started

                         to hit me.

                         If you were doing a pretty simple

                         installation and knew you didn’t want to

                         scale up the instance later, I’m sure

                         installing and maintaining Mastodon wouldn’t

                         be that bad. But there’s also other fediverse

                         projects that are easier and more practical

                         to self-host, like Gotosocial, if that’s your

                         goal.

                  # ⚓ 2023-07-30_–_Second_round_of_FAQ_updates.⠀⇛

                         Section 4 of the FAQ, “Protocol design”, has

                         now been expanded and reworked, mostly to try

                         to explain as clearly as possible how various

                         aspects of Gemini’s design are in fact the

                         deliberate consequences of leaning hard into

                         some chosen principles. The FAQ as a whole is

                         certainly still not perfect and I expect that

                         I may continue to tweak it in the nearish

                         future, but I don’t think there should be any

                         more changes on the same scale as this recent

                         overhaul for quite a while. If anybody would

                         like to attempt updating the existing

                         translations, or starting a new one, I think

                         that work could safely begin now without fear

                         of major disruption.

                         Whereas the first big FAQ update made the

                         whole document more than three times longer

                         than it used to be, this update has “only”

                         made the FAQ 20% longer. It’s gotten very

                         long, I’m well aware. The whole thing is

                         close to 27,000 words. Reading at 225 words

                         per minute on average, which some very brief

                         web research seems to suggest is typical for

                         adult native speakers of English, the whole

                         thing would take two hours. That’s a big time

                         commitment, but then, actually reading the

                         entire thing will leave somebody with a

                         breadth of understanding of the protocol and

                         things related to it which, previously, could

                         only possibly be acquired by extensively

                         studying the mailing list archives, which

                         would take an awful lot longer and have a

                         much lower signal to noise ratio. So this

                         large FAQ does, in fact, represent

                         substantial progress.

                         June 2019 and apparently had some explosion

                         of usage during the Covid-19 pandemic due to

                         being posted on HackerNews with some success.

                         Here we are in July 2023, nearly August and

                         dark, I knew something called Gemini existed

                         and I had seen it vaguely mentioned in

                         context, but never looked into it. I knew it

                         was some kind of protocol, maybe I could have

                         told you it was… something something… gopher?

      o ⚓ Ruben Schade ☛ Your_tech_event_doesn’t_have_to_be_exciting⠀⇛

             I can’t stop thinking about a photo I saw on social media

             yesterday. It was posted by an evangelist for a tech

             company to celebrate the opening of their industry event.

             They were EXCITED! PUMPED! JAZZED! I’m sure I’m missing

             some other adjectives.

             You know the type of account. Their avatars sport cheesy

             grins, and their post history exudes nothing but giddy,

             insincere optimism for their employer and life in

             general. I’m so EXCITED to be at this launch! We’re

             taking on the WORLD! Check out this HAM SANDWICH!

             The audience photo they posted from their recent event

             showed anything but. Most were on their phones. Those

             actually looking at the brightly coloured stage, smoke

             machines, and thumping lights looked bored witless. Two

             in the front row were literally caught mid-yawn, and one

             sported such an ashen expression I wanted to reach out

             and give him a hug.

             Watching movies on TV, without a crowd, is just not the

             same, Ebert argued: “A lot of the fun of seeing a movie

             such as Jaws or Star Wars comes, for me, from the massed

             emotion of the theater audience. When the shark attacks,

             we all levitate three inches above our seats, and come

             down screaming and laughing.”

             But when Russia launched an all-out war not only on

             Ukrainian territory, but also on its independent identity

             and culture, passive acceptance of the linguistic status

             quo came to feel like a moral failure. A language once

             used neutrally as a tool for communication now evoked

             terror, centuries-long erasure, and oppression. Russian

             had become the language of filtration camps and

             interrogations, and speaking it felt like relinquishing

             one small means to resist.

                   In 1581, Queen Elizabeth I of England bestowed a

                   knighthood on notorious privateer Sir Francis

                   Drake. The captain of the Golden Hind was hailed by

                   the British crown for his exploits against Spanish

                   colonies in the Caribbean and on what is now the

                   U.S. Pacific coast (which did involve quite a lot

                   of indiscriminate murder and plundering, mind you).

                   To the Spanish, Drake was nothing but a lowly

                   pirate. As was the case now, and then, who is a

                   “hero” and who is a “pirate” is all about

                   perspective, and it’s usually based on whose booty

                   is being plundered.

                   On Wednesday, the Electronic Frontier Foundation

                   announced it planned to award notorious pirate

                   captain Alexandra Elbakyan for her work providing

                   scientific knowledge free to the world through the

                   notorious shadow library Sci-Hub. The pirate cove

                   has been banned in some countries, but the site has

                   survived a mountain of lawsuits and corporate take-

                   down attempts and now claims it houses more than

                   88.3 million research articles and books on a range

                   of topics.

                   In most cases, cutting pin headers is a pretty

                   simple job to tackle with a pair of cutters or even

                   like for kitting up lots of projects for customers,

                   then you might want to look at something like this

            # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Mechanical_Pencil_Solder_Feeder_Hack⠀⇛

                   Want a better way to feed solder, but want to do it

                   on the quick and cheap? Well [ptkrf] has a solution

                   for you in an old instructables post we stumbled

                   upon recently. You might have, or can inexpensively

                   buy, a mechanical pencil which has the feeder

                   button on the side rather than on top, as usual.

                   With the pencil in hand, [ptkrf] shows you the

                   simple procedure for modifying the pencil into a

                   solder feeder. You might need to experiment with

                   different size pencils and solders to get a perfect

                   match. Common mechanical pencils come in sizes to

                   accommodate 0.5, 0.7, and 0.9 mm leads, but there

                   are bigger and smaller ones available. Perhaps one

                   of those really large drafting lead holders could

                   be repurposed as a solder dispenser for the bigger

                   jobs.

              To_Beat⠀⇛

                   What makes a body’s organs into what they are is

                   more than just a grouping of specialized cells.

                   They also need to be oriented and attached to each

                   other and scaffolding in order to create structures

                   which can effectively perform the desired function.

                   A good example here is the heart, which requires a

                   large number of muscle cells to contract in unison

                   in order for the heart component (like a ventricle)

                   to effectively pump blood. This complication is

                   what has so far complicated efforts to 3D print

                   Unless you were lucky enough to be able to afford a

                   floppy disk drive, you probably used cassette tapes

                   to store programs and data if you used pretty much

                   any home computer in the 1980s. ZX Spectrum users,

                   however, had another option in the form of the

                   Microdrive. This was a rather unusual continuous-

                   loop mini-tape cartridge that could store around

                   100 kB and load it at lightning speed, all at a

                   much lower price point than a floppy drive. The low

                   price came at the cost of poor durability however,

                   and after four decades it’s becoming harder and

                   harder to find cartridges that work reliably.

                   [Derek Fountain] therefore set out to make a modern

                   Microdrive emulator that stores data on SD cards.

                   Seven years ago, Geoffrey Hinton, an artificial

                   intelligence pioneer, made a bold prediction.

                   “People should stop training radiologists now. It’s

                   just completely obvious that, within five years,

                   deep learning is going to do better than

                   radiologists… It might be 10 years, but we got

                   plenty of radiologists already,” Hinton said at a

                   machine learning conference in Toronto. Hinton, who

                   received the Turing Award in 2018, had pioneered

                   research on the neural networks that underlie the

                   recent progress of AI. So, naturally, people

                   listened.

                   Fast forward to 2023. The world went through a

                   global radiologist shortage during covid:

                   Professionals were either burning out or aging out.

                   For anyone training in the field now, the future

                   looks bright—in the US, the employment of

                   radiologists is projected to grow 4% between 2021

                   and 2031, at a faster rate than the overall

                   employment of physicians and surgeons, according to

                   the US Bureau of Labor Statistics. And pay remains

                   high: the average wage hovered in the region of

                   $300,000 a year.

                   So what happened? Was Hinton wrong, or are we

                   missing something fundamental about the big AI

                   boom, fueled by OpenAI, DeepMind, Nvidia, and

                   dozens of other companies?

                   The poorly redacted docs, which have since been

                   Microsoft’s Azure revenue is at least 25% lower

                   than our previous estimates.

                   As a result, we’ve cut and revised our Azure

                   Bell recruited a security guard to falsely claim

                   that the guard witnessed an assault by its

                   PhD student in cybersecurity at Northeastern

                         virtual machines, and potentially from within

                         the browser. The scope is fairly limited,

                         though, as Zenbleed only affects Zen 2 CPUs:

                         that’s the AMD Epyc 7002 series, the Ryzen

                         3000 series, and some of the Ryzen 4000,

                         patches on top of OverlayFS. The short

                         version is that the Linux kernel had a

                         vulnerability in the OverlayFS kernel module

                         in 2020. Fixes were added to the vfs_setxattr

                         function, but Ubuntu exposes more

                         functionality by skipping this function, and

                         directly calling __vfs_setxattr_noperm.

                         Because of the Ubuntu-specific changes, the

                         fixes in the upstream kernel are bypassed in

                         to 40% of Ubuntu cloud workloads. The bugs,

                         dubbed ‘GameOver(lay), are said to be easy to

                         exploit and allow for local privilege

                         escalation.

                         The two flaws, CVE-2023-2640 and CVE-2023-

                         32629, relate to the OverlayFS module in

                         Ubuntu, a popular Linux filesystem widely

                         used in cloud containers. OverlayFS is a file

                         system commonly used with Docker that lays

                         one filesystem on top of another. This allows

                         users to modify the upper file system while

                         keeping the base system intact, useful in

                         cloud workloads where it is often desirable

                         to provide an isolated layer for an

                         application to run in that will not affect or

                         modify the host system.

                         Researchers at Wiz discovered that Ubuntu’s

                         modifications to OverlayFS make it possible

                         to ‘trick’ the kernel into copying a

                         privileged executable from one layer and

                         writing it to another where it no longer

                         requires privileges to execute.

                   Thicke’s life, and business problems for everyone

                   involved with the track. One of those problems came

                   from its point of inspiration, Marvin Gaye’s “Got

                   to Give It Up.” The fact that, musically, it

                   borrowed so many ideas from the bass-driven,

                   chatter-filled recording turned into a huge

                   liability for the recording industry as a whole, as

                   Gaye’s estate sued—and won. Now, it’s become

                   increasingly common for pop songs to preemptively

                   offer credit to artists any time a song seems to

                   directly borrow from a source too aggressively—and

                   arguably has led to a huge push by publishing

                   companies to buy out name-brand artists. But before

                   “Blurred Lines” came along, sampling set the stage

                   for famous artists (or more likely, their estates)

                   to take a litigious stance towards new generations

                   of musicians. As artificial intelligence promises

                   to bring a fresh new stage to this discussion, it’s

                   worth discussing why sampling created this arms

                   race in the first place. Will the record industry

                   finally meet its match in artificially generated

                   hip-hop? (And is that a bad thing?) Today’s Tedium

                   considers a big change in music. — Ernie @ Tedium

              Appeal_Piracy_Liability_Judgment⠀⇛

                   Internet provider Grande Communications is

                   appealing a jury verdict that awarded $47 million

                   in piracy damages to several record labels. The ISP

                   hoped to do so without posting a multi-million

                   dollar bond but after the music companies opposed

                   it, the request was denied by the court.

                   unique cryptographic signature used to authenticate

                   servers. When you attempt to connect to a remote

                   server, your client machine saves the host key in

                   the “known hosts” file.

                   I installed OpenSUSE “Tumbleweed” recently, and

                   everything went wine. However, I noticed that every

                   app that was Installed had minimize and maximize

                   buttons missing from the top bar of the app. The

                   In the world of Bash scripting, one common task is

                   to check if a directory exists before proceeding

                   with further actions. Whether you are writing

                   automation scripts, performing system maintenance,

                   or managing files and directories, it’s essential

                   to ensure that the directory you are about to work

                   with exists to avoid errors and unexpected

                   behaviors. In this comprehensive guide, you will

                   learn various methods to check if a directory

                   exists in Bash, with practical examples and best

                   building solutions for Gentoo and maybe migrate to

                   dracut, but last time I tried, ~1.5 years ago, the

                   initreamfs was now working for me.

                   And now in 2023 I’m still running genkernel for my

                       * Add support for Intel FRED instructions.

                       * Add support for Intel LKGS instructions.

                       * Add support for Intel AMX-COMPLEX

                   instructions.

                       * Add SME2 support to the AArch64 port.

                       * A new .insn directive is recognized by x86

                   gas.

                       * Add support for LoongArch LSX instructions.

                       * Add support for LoongArch LASX instructions.

                       * Add support for LoongArch LVZ instructions.

                       * Add support for LoongArch LBT instructions.

                       * Initial LoongArch support for linker

                   relaxation has been added.

                       * Deprecate the LoongArch register aliases $v0,

                   $v1, $x, $fv0 and $fv1.

                     In the linker:

                       * The linker now accepts a command line option

                   of --remap-inputs

                         <PATTERN>=<FILE> to relace any input file

                   that matches <PATTERN> with

                         <FILE>.  In addition the option --remap-

                   inputs-file=<FILE> can be used to

                         specify a file containing any number of these

                   remapping directives.

                       * The linker command line option --print-map-

                   locals can be used to include

                         local symbols in a linker map.  (ELF targets

                   only).

                       * For most ELF based targets, if the --enable-

                   linker-version option is used

                         then the version of the linker will be

                   inserted as a string into the

                   .comment

                         section.

                       * The linker script syntax has a new command

                   for output sections: ASCIZ

                   "string"

                         This will insert a zero-terminated string at

                   the current location.

                       * Add command-line option, -z nosectionheader,

                   to omit ELF section

                         header.

                     In the other binary tools:

                       * The MIPS port now supports the Sony

                   Interactive Entertainment Allegrex

                         processor, used with the PlayStation

                   Portable, which implements the MIPS

                         II ISA along with a single-precision FPU and

                   a few implementation-specific

                         integer instructions.

                       * Objdump's --private option can now be used on

                   PE format files to display

                   the

                         fields in the file header and section

                   headers.

                       * New versioned release of libsframe:

                   libsframe.so.1.  This release

                   introduces

                         versioned symbols with version node name

                   LIBSFRAME_1.0.  This release also

                         updates the ABI in an incompatible way: this

                   includes removal of

                         sframe_get_funcdesc_with_addr API, change in

                   the behavior of

                         sframe_fre_get_ra_offset and

                   sframe_fre_get_fp_offset APIs.

                       * SFrame Version 2 is now the default (and

                   only) format version supported by

                         gas, ld, readelf and objdump.

                       * Add command-line option, --strip-section-

                   headers, to objcopy and strip to

                         remove ELF section header from ELF file.

                       * The RISC-V port now supports the following

                   new standard extensions:

                         - Zicond (conditional zero instructions)

                         - Zfa (additional floating-point

                   instructions)

                         - Zvbb, Zvbc, Zvkg, Zvkned, Zvknh[ab],

                   Zvksed, Zvksh, Zvkn, Zvknc, Zvkng,

                           Zvks, Zvksc, Zvkg, Zvkt (vector crypto

                   instructions)

                       * The RISC-V port now supports the following

                   vendor-defined extensions:

                          - XVentanaCondOps

                       * The LoongArch port now supports the following

                   extensions:

                         - LSX (Loongson SIMD eXtension; 128-bit

                   vectors)

                         - LASX (Loongson Advanced SIMD eXtension;

                   256-bit vectors)

                         - LVZ (Loongson Virtualization extension)

                         - LBT (Loongson Binary Translation extension)

                       * The LoongArch disassembly output received the

                   following tweaks:

                         - Colored output is now supported.

                         - Some pseudo-instructions are now shown in

                   place of the canonical forms,

                           where semantics are equivalent. A

                   disassembler option '-M no-aliases' is

                           added to disable the new behavior.

                         - Signed immediates are no longer printed

                   with their hex representation.

                         - Unrecognized instruction words are now

                   shown with '.word'.

                   Hi!

                   Version 29.1 of Emacs, the extensible text editor,

                   should now

                   be available from your nearest GNU mirror:

                   https://ftpmirror.gnu.org/emacs/emacs-29.1.tar.xz

                   https://ftpmirror.gnu.org/emacs/emacs-29.1.tar.gz

                   The tarballs are signed; you can get the

                   corresponding PGP signature

                   files at:

            # ⚓ GNU ☛ Release_of_GnuCOBOL_3.2⠀⇛

                   Hello!

                   More than two and a half year after GnuCOBOL 3.1.2

                   the GnuCOBOL developers are proud to announce the

                   formal release of GnuCOBOL 3.2.

                   What is GnuCOBOL

                   ================

                   GnuCOBOL is a free, modern COBOL compiler.

                   It translates COBOL into intermediate C and

                   compiles the code using a native C compiler

                   (preferably GCC, but not limited to it).

                   More information about GnuCOBOL can be found at

                   https://www.gnu.org/software/gnucobol/

                   Noteworthy changes

                   ==================

                   The amount of features are too much to note, but

                   you can skip over the attached NEWS file to

                   investigate them, here are some of the highlights:

                   * improved dialect handling including changed

                   defaults to better match

                     the selected dialect (see NEWS if you compile

                   with any -std to know

                     more about the implications), a complete new

                   dialect GCOS and support

                     for more COBOL statements, intrinsic functions

                   and syntax from both

                     "old" and new dialects

                   * highly improved run-times for several statements,

                   along with

                     less memory usage, especially if runtime checks

                   are enabled

                   * fileio changes to support LINE-SEQUENTIAL per

                   COBOL2023 and runtime

                     options to change the way files are handled, see

                   NEWS and runtime.cfg

                   * improvements for source-level debugging via GDB

                   and coredump support

                   * improvements for reproducible builds

                   GnuCOBOL 3.x keeps full compatibility to GnuCOBOL

                   2.2, you can therefore use old COBOL modules

                   without recompile, if needed, but may need to

                   adjust your configuration per NEWS entry.

                   Getting the Software

                   I’ve been getting a lot of use recently from the

                   Posit (née RStudio) Package Manager (PPM), because

                   it offers freely available R package binaries for

                         cover talks and discussions on both Rust for

                         Linux as well as other non-kernel Rust

                         Rust is a systems programming language that

                         is making great strides in becoming the next

                         big one in the domain. Rust_for_Linux is the

                         project adding support for the Rust language

                         to the Linux kernel.

                         Rust has a key property that makes it very

                         interesting as the second language in the

                         kernel: it guarantees no undefined behavior

                         takes place (as long as unsafe code is

                         sound). This includes no use-after-free

                         mistakes, no double frees, no data races,

                         etc. It also provides other important

                         benefits, such as improved error handling,

                         stricter typing, sum types, pattern matching,

                         privacy, closures, generics, etc.

                   I have had on/off relationships with IRC over the

                   years, the biggest issue being IIRC is that if you

                   stop using your handle for a month or two others

                   can use it. IIRC, every couple of months or so,

                   irc/oftc releases the dormant ones. Matrix/Vector

                   has done quite a lot in that regard but that’s a

                         There are a lot of people talking about the

                         Russian invasion of Ukraine and a lot of

                         moving goalposts in such discussions. I think

                         that everyone who wants to advocate for it

                         should publish what they expect to happen and

                         what specific things they consider as victory

                         conditions.

                         When Russia first invaded I thought they

                         would win in a matter of weeks. I

                         underestimated the determination of the

                         Ukrainian people and the corruption and the

                         incompetence and corruption of the Russian

                         military. The first time I thought that

                         Ukraine could win was when I read an analysis

                         of the tires on Russian military vehicles

                         breaking because of the cheapest available

                         tires being bought and then not stored

                         correctly to avoid damage, which led to the

                         long stalled convoy. A successful military

                         campaign requires many more difficult tasks

                         than buying good tires and maintaining them

                         correctly. An army that is too corrupt to buy

                         the bare minimum of usable equipment and too

                         incompetent to adapt to failures is not going

                         to do well.

                   after installing Ubuntu. This might be necessary if

                   you have decided to completely switch over to

                   Ubuntu and no longer need the Windows boot option.

                   To remove Windows from the UEFI boot menu after

                   installing Ubuntu, you need to access the terminal,

                   identify the Windows boot entry using the

                   efibootmgr command, remove the boot entry using the

                   efibootmgr -b -B command, delete the Windows folder

                   from the EFI partition, and update GRUB to hide the

                   In this post, I discuss recent research by Hassan

                   from the School of Electrical Engineering and

                   Telecommunications, University of New South Wales

                   that presents a solution for monitoring the

                   enterprise hosts with fine-grained visibility into

                   their network behavioural profiles.

                   This research passively analyses network traffic

                   from/to all connected hosts in an enterprise

                   network, regardless of their SOE configuration

                   status. By constructing specialized network

                   behavioural profiles with AI-based classifications,

                   real-time inference on the network behavioural

                   patterns of hosts and potential anomalies are

                   generated for IT departments.

                   brackets and a few other pieces of punctuation.

                   Also, no ligatures. And the long s is in the wrong

             very good news to bring to everyone in that all of the 3

             made the driver much more efficient and less error-prone,

                   If you have ever tried to build LibreOffice code,

                   you know that it can take a lot of time.

                   LibreOffice has ~6 million lines of C++ and some

                   Java code (<280k). But, there are tools that can

                   help you build LibreOffice from source code much

                   faster, if you do it repeatedly! Here I discuss

                   how.

                   Even with a fast computer, compiling huge amount of

                   C/C++ code takes a lot of time. Compiling 6 million

                   lines of C/C++ code in LibreOffice will take you

                   several minutes (if not hours) with a decent

                   computer with fast CPU and a lot of RAM.

                   But, people who work on developing LibreOffice need

                   to build it from the source repeatedly. Because

                   only a fraction of the code changes each time,

                   there is a big chance that one can re-use the

                   compiled objects, and that’s where ccache (and

                   similar tools) come in. It caches the compiled

                   objects, and before trying to re-compile the code,

                   searches inside the cache to see if a previously

                   compiled objects are usable.

                   the immense potential that quantum computing

                   offers. Happy coding!

                   This is the third post in a series of posts about

                   Nix. Disclaimer: I’m a super beginner with Nix. So

                   this series of blog posts is more akin to notes

                   that I’m taking while learning than a super

                   detailed tutorial. So if you’re a Nix expert and

                   read something stupid in here, that’s normal. This

                   post is going to focus on R (obviously) but the

                   ideas are applicable to any programming language.

                   This blog post is part tutorial on creating an api

                   using the {plumber} R package, part an illustration

                   of how Nix makes developing and deploying a breeze.
