« je suis un programmeur en grève aujourd’hui même. Vous aussi vous pouvez vous mettre en grève. Je suis en grève en soutien avec mon syndicat et par solidarité avec les travailleurs qu’il soutient…
mais aussi pour montrer à mon employeur comment les programmeurs contrôlent les moyens de productions : avec nos cerveaux. »
ça se passe aujourd’hui en Italie

I'm a #programmer in #strike, right now. And you can strike too!
I'm in strike to support my #Union and for #solidarity with the #workers it tries to protect: https://rassegna.it/mobile/articoli/metalmeccanici-31-ottobre-sciopero-generale
But also to show my #employer how #programmers firmly control the #MeansOfProduction: our heads.
What's really happening in #Catalonia?
It's very difficult to understand which source to trust these days, in particular with such highly political topics.
In Italy there are two main narrations of this fight for independence from #Spain: one that says Catalonia want independence because they deeply feel as a different nation/culture, and the other that says they want independence because they are much much richer than the rest of Spain and don't want to share their wealth.
The two could also be true (or false) at the same time.
Anyone can give a better perspective?

This is why we can't have nice things 😞

anyone wanna do a #Plan9 port for #CHERI ?
would hardware based #OCAP even be useful in it?
AFAIK file descriptors can already be used like capabilities??? but CHERI has stuff like linear capabilities and more, so. idk.
maybe it could reduce the IPC overhead of 9P?
I don't have time to look into this stuff but maybe someone wants to do something with the concept.

Complaining about Discord/Electron security
Discord and Electron in general have become so prolific and follow the same general model of "Drop a ton of JS in a user-writable directory and run it with a souped up browser that has hooks into OS APIs most browsers don't" that we're going to see more and more malware targeting it.
It's like if a virus found every Python file in your homedir and altered it to run spying/propagation code, except far more users have Discord than they do a Python runtime and scripts in their homedir and this is far harder to detect because most users don't go rifling around in Discord's JS files.
I say all this to make a point clear: Electron as it's deployed today is inherently less secure than either a binary application in user space, or any kind of application at all in system space. It's a perfect storm of consistent attack surface, ease of malicious code injection, lack of privilege separation, and user-inaccessible black box.
Get used to trojans with Electron-targeting payloads.

This one-liner made me obscenely happy. Maybe I should just go home before anything ruins it…
mkdir phrack && cd phrack && wget http://phrack.org/archives/tgz/phrack{1..69}.tar.gz && for i in *.tar.gz; do mkdir "${i%%.tar.gz}"; tar zxf "$i" -C "${i%%.tar.gz}"; done && rm *.tar.gz
Easy prediction: people who have been taught to confuse #FreeSoftware and #OpenSource through the misleading terms #FOSS and #FLOSS will now be led to further accept the privatization of #knowledge by small, innovative (and easy to acquire) #ethical start-ups.

@Shamar @Libertux Thanks for your feedback. We plan to open source our server side as well to enable companies to self-host Tutanota. This will be a small server, which can run locally.
Nonetheless, all the encryption takes place locally on your device (end-to-end encryption) so our servers don't see your encrypted emails and can't read your data.

Qualche giorno fa in Norvegia due nazisti han rubato un’ambulanza e si son lanciati contro la folla ma per fortuna son stati fermati prima che compissero una strage https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2019/10/22/armed-man-steals-ambulance-drives-crowds-oslo/
Ieri un gruppo neonazista ha tentato di dar fuoco al centro cultutale ebraico di Budapest https://www.haaretz.com/world-news/europe/neo-nazis-try-torching-jewish-center-in-budapest-activists-say-1.8022745
Le aggressioni nazifasciste proseguono da anni. Tutte note e documentate http://www.ecn.org/antifa/article/6192/firenze-studente-di-26-anni-preso-a-calci-e-pugni-perch233-gay
Eppure niente, il “pericolo nero” non trova spazio sui media mainstream...
