The case jewel for my Susumu-Cube project finally came in.

"In 2006, a retired AT&T engineer knocked on the door of the EFF's office in a rundown part of San Francisco's Mission district and asked, "Do you folks care about privacy?" With him he carried schematics exposing the largest US government domestic spying operation since Watergate.

That person was Mark Klein, who died on March 8 this year from cancer. He was 79.

After a life working in telecoms, Klein realized he had helped the NSA wire up a listening station in AT&T's San Francisco switching facility - the infamous Room 641A - that was being used to illegally spy on Americans.

The evidence he gathered and shared led to two lawsuits that exposed the extent to which US citizens were being spied on by their own government in the post-9/11 world. Klein faced legal pressure, death threats, and the constant fear of ruin, to get his story out and tell the public what was going on. But Klein regretted nothing."

@milk I wonder how Mifflin Devin and Dorian Alan are doing these days?

Dave Täht, a guy who helped fight the FCC's excess regulation that has led to the death of freedom friendly wifi devices has sadly passed away. He may be best known for his work on bufferbloat, but to me he's one of the few freedom fighters that remained in the world. He recognized the danger of the FCC's rules on wifi routers (and really just wifi) and it's implementation by manufacturers. We lost the fight, but it’s people like him, Eric Schultz, and others who led an important if not short lived fight for freedom in the tech sphere. To that end his name, commitments, and efforts will be remembered.

"Majority of Germans wants nuclear power back"

A big change is happening in the German public: 55% is for a return to nuclear energy. The article doesn't say why this change happened, but the worsening economic situation appears to be obvious to all. The fairy tale of an anti-nuclear Energiewende seems over.

The "global warming" sci-op is an example of lying by emission...

The EU initiative Going Dark has now been launched by the EU Commission. They call it ProtectEU.

It’s a rebranding of Chat Control. New name. Same old propaganda.

The EU Commission’s goal is to “access encrypted data in a lawful manner, safeguarding cybersecurity and fundamental rights.”
