Orwell, Half Life 2… take your pick.

China… a drone with a loudspeaker and camera pointed at you appears: ''This community is in total lockdown now! Stay in your room! ''… If you need a visualization of Orwell’s 1984, this is probably as close as you can get…

Huh, this makes Harry Styles the new Bowie.
Quote Tweet
Random thought: The obsession with Harry Styles' sexuality fascinates me, because it's where a new generation's golden rule--sexuality is fluid, you can choose from dozens of identities, etc.--crashes into an older rule: Tell us who you are so we can decide what we think of you.

As a general note: practice safe SECs. OPSEC, COMSEC, INFOSEC and PERSEC are all critical. This applies to both civilians and military alike. If you think this does not apply to you, you're mistaken. Civilian organisations, both private and public, can be attacked too. ⚠️

Yikes. I hadn’t heard about this till now. CloudFlare was lobbying the government to investigate security researchers and question the legality of public research in general.

True story: After cloudbleed, cloudflare literally lobbied the FTC to investigate me and question the legality of openly discussing security research. How come they're not lobbying their DC friends to investigate the legality KF? 🤷‍♂️

I hope a policy postmortem is done on what the "line" was for Cloudflare. The bomb threats seen today from KiwiFarms users are hardly an escalation from the long history of harassment, SWATting, stalking, etc. It's good CF got there. But very, very bad that it took this long.

We just blocked Kiwifarms. The threats on the site escalated enough in the last 48 hours that, in spite of proactively working with law enforcement, it became enough of an imminent emergency we could no longer wait for them to act. Details of our decision: blog.cloudflare.com/kiwifarms-bloc

KF finally blocked by Cloudflare. CF might have good people and do cool technical stuff, but even the tone of this post is off. They’re as complicit in this as KF users. They will lose business as a result (and probably refuse to understand why).

Cloudflare have dropped Kiwi Farms. THANK YOU to everybody who spoke out, including those at Cloudflare. As I've always said, Cloudflare have an unparalleled service and great people. The tone of the blog is unacceptable, but hopefully they work on it. blog.cloudflare.com/kiwifarms-bloc

Former EFFer Peter Eckersley died very suddenly today. If you have ever used Let's Encrypt or Certbot or you enjoy the fact that transport layer encryption on the web is so ubiquitous it's nearly invisible, you have him to thank for it. Raise a glass.

Yeah look if you have Matt Canavan hanging around like a bad smell you need to rethink your priorities.

Local Men's Shed volunteers are 'flagging' the community's interest in a pilot program that aims to boost patriotism. They want to erect flag poles in front yards but need funding to get the project off the ground. 7NEWS.com.au @dannie_depinto #7NEWS

This attitude that Greens must support a concept no matter how poor the execution was how we got a decade of press gallery regurgitation of ALP talking points on CPRS. Can't wait to do it all again with the Voice.
Quote Tweet
If the Greens oppose the Voice referendum, they will never recover as a party. It’s that simple, right or wrong though their position might be.

NEW: As part of the #DropKiwifarms campaign, a trans software engineer is exploiting Kiwi Farm's little known connection to Australia to use a new internet law to take the far right hate forum offline. crikey.com.au/2022/09/02/kiw

Engineers have repaired an issue affecting telemetry data from 1 that was identified earlier this year. While the team continues to investigate the root cause, the spacecraft appears healthy and continues to gather and return science data.

Watching now, the amazing thing about the Gorbachev Pizza Hut commercial isn't that Russia subsequently rolled back all the freedoms he introduced, hotly debated by fictional Pizza Hut diners. It's that, thanks to Putin's war in Ukraine, it doesn't even have Pizza Hut anymore.
Quote Tweet
As Mikhail Gorbachev turns an impressive 90, it seems only fair to relive one of his most iconic moments, his starring role in a Pizza Hut advert
