[04:58] schestowitz__ Those things are all connected. Well, all things are remotely connected somehow, but these things are more connected than most. Based on recent series about the Bundestag etc. even EPO insiders grasp the broader ramifications of their important work. [04:58] schestowitz__ > May I ask you a question : when connecting this protonmail account I receive the message "too many recent login attempts". I suspect someone is trying to brute force attack the account? What do you think? [04:58] schestowitz__ I never used protonmail myself, but based on my understanding protonmail isn't pure e2ee but some sort of hybrid, wherein the encryption involves some MitM.

[04:58] -TechBytesBot/#techbytes-techrights.org | Guarding Your Privacy With E2EE: Primer | Techrights [04:59] schestowitz__ Brute-forcing the account would necessitate knowing about its existence and we did advertise it openly in past articles. ● May 02 [05:17] schestowitz__ > How did the Mumble session go? I presume the 3-way audio test worked. [05:17] schestowitz__ It did yes. The recording quality is very good, it did raw WAV. [05:17] schestowitz__ > I couldn't stick around and would have been a fifth wheel anyway. [05:17] schestowitz__ I assumed you had other things to do regardless, so that's OK.

[05:17] schestowitz__ I don't know yet if you wish to have that address advertised for potential future guests, maybe even RMS. [05:17] schestowitz__ As you may have noticed, RMS is not doing interviews with anybody. Some tried to approach him, but it never yields anything. [05:17] schestowitz__ I could use your opinion on the following (or no opinion if you want to "pass"): [05:19] schestowitz__ SiliconBard: ^^ [05:19] schestowitz__ nothing sensitive above [05:19] schestowitz__ SiliconBard: I'm thinking, one good way of going about this (further to my email) is, [05:19] schestowitz__ we chat in preparation [05:19] schestowitz__ write down notes in IRC [05:20] schestowitz__ record, then pass through ffmpeg or similar to add into/outro [05:20] schestowitz__ the rest is very easy to manage and almost free of manual 'labour' [05:20] schestowitz__ doing preparatory work in text is better simply because we can later stare at the text [05:20] schestowitz__ audio is harder to do that with [05:23] *SiliconBard has quit (Quit: Going offline, see ya!
