Julian made into human trafficking victim

And the massive government corruption prevails. Shame on America. Shame on Lenin Moreno. Shame on the UK and Australia for not even standing up against the former two. Shame on the mass media who manufactured consent for this. Shame on the sniveling empire sycophants cheering right now for an Orwellian assault on press freedoms. Shame on all European governments (including my own) for remaining silent slaves of the US-led torture regime keeping Assange imprisoned and offline. Human rights? Show me where to find any have been watched after for this case. You can't. They are scum and they know it. It's thuggery at its finest. The US, UK and Swedish judicial processes are a complete illegal joke, insults to any civilized community. Those working for police and justice…

Google does not seem to understand what email is about..

Sounds unbelievable, doesn't it? Clearly Gmail use their Spam 'detection' as a non-stop alpha version test-system, there's generally an alarming number of false positives in their Spam folder, or, wait, they don't call it a folder, they *label* it as being spam. I have been running my own mail-server(s) ever since the BBS/fidonet days in the 1990s, and I can assure you, the reader; I do know how email works, I know what each header in an email means, I know why and when it gets blocked, bounced, deferred, queued, tagged, blacklisted, you name it. Been there, done it all. And that's why I'm so fed up with google's attempts to monopolize the email-sphere by forcing all other mail service providers to jump through unpredictable hoops in order…

Severe blow to the free and open internet (for the average Jane&Joe)

So, Articles 11 and 13 have been approved by MEPs. Very bad news for the internet. Unless member states push back, Google News (among others) will shut down across the EU and all kinds of censorship mechanisms will become widespread. Creators and social media will not benefit. Amazing how time and time again those sociopaths in powerful positions, when they see something that works well, they manage to fuck it all up. GDPR also proved to be a disaster for internet in the EU but this will be even worse. And, as always, apparently the MEP's that voted in favor didn't even know what they are really voting on, because the result will just be the total opposite of what they hoped to achieve; - It will be…

The unfathomable nonsense religion of ‘mining cryptocurrency’

Fun fact; Blockchain technology doesn't require any mining AT ALL, no cracking hashes, no crunching of numbers. Another fun fact: A good reliable functional cryptocurrency does not require mining AT ALL. It's an insane idea brought forward by virtual value backed by nothing (about the same as the one behind the dollar and euro today), implying that one has to do 'something special' in order to create new currency. A so-called 'proof of work' consensus algorithm. Completely unneeded. Mining is a deplorable wasteful mechanism by which only retards think they 'create value'. Mathematical and cryptography advancements have long surpassed any requirement of having to crunch numbers in order to 'create' new virtual currency. Funniest fact: Bitcoin creation ends when a set amount of them has been created by…

The stupidity-bubble of the moral majority

Pilger tells it like it is. Senior international lawyers of the United Nations Working Group on Arbitrary Detention concluded with good reason that Assange was being illegally detained - and further rejected the appeal by the UK - because there is no real case and no real investigation in progress against Assange. The UK gov (or the entire West's governments for that matter) didn't like the United Nations Human Rights Council's verdict, just puts that aside as if we, the people, are all idiots and didn't catch that corruption of justice. It's truly pathetic, and *all* our governments (and media) have handled this like enormous assholes. They all can't handle the truth, claiming "why doesn't he step outside?". Some people apparently missed what happened to Manning, and since…

Open letter to Microsoft

Dear people at Microsoft, Last year I rebuilt my desktop PC. Made sure it was all compatible, stable, reliable and tested new hardware. My previous Desktop PC had Win7 x64 and Linux Debain dual-booting. So at first I installed Linux on my new hardware, and ran a lot of Windows apps through wine and virtual options, but they still left a lot to be desired. I love debian for servers, would never do without it, but linux on desktop still does not entirely do it for me, I miss certain tiny tools and software, my USB-audio interface (Lynx Hilo) didn't function to its full extent, and performance differences are still very much apparent in some libraries and drivers (that is to say; Working natively in Windows they perform…

Safeguarding my critical sensitive data

For many computer savy users this is the eternal quest, with no end in sight looking into the (uncertain) future of computing power. It has to be somewhat user-friendly (easy, fast, few clicks to get results), but it also has to be unbreakable, preferably even for the idiots at the NSA, and even when quantum computing power hits mainstream. For my daily use this meant that I went from using TrueCrypt volumes (for a long time) to using VeraCrypt volumes (not so long), to now using ProxyCrypt volumes. ProxyCrypt may not be the most user-friendly of them all (although you could argue that it is, since you can script everything you ever need to do with it, unlike with most other software), but it sure is the fastest…

Should have taken warning..

Few seem to realize how much our survival is at stake. If a 76% decline of insects was observed in 27 years in German nature reserves, the 'decline' would reach 100% in 36 years (conservatively, ignoring ecosystem collapse feedbacks). Meaning *all* flying insects in these nature reserves could be gone by 2027. Oh, and plants are in decline too. These are all assuming linear decline rates, while all we observe is exponential rates of change. That's not good. If 60 percent of the world's fish, birds, mammals, amphibians and reptiles have disappeared in the last 45 years, wouldn't the remaining 40% also disappear in the coming 30 years? We're not significantly changing that course of events, are we? And wouldn't we, humans, then be part of those remaining…

This is MY boomstick!

How fed up is the public at large with this nuclear bullshit and these existential threats of the powers that be? I'm surprised nobody ever started crowdfunding a hitman to eliminate *all* those who still perform nuke tests. These child-like 'leaders' keep thinking about these exploding bombs and tests as if there are walls surrounding them, as if they take place on different planets. We'll all suffer the consequences, no matter where they're being used. These nuke tests *already* impact the ozone layer and give rise to skin cancers worldwide, not to mention the local effects of radiation. They ruin all our motivations, incite depression, cause cancer, destroy future prospects for life on our planet. Would be interesting to see what happens if you'd crowdfund hits for this…
