CISPA is Back and I Don't Care Anymore

CISPA is Back and I Don't Care Anymore | manurevah on Manurevah

Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act which would enter U.S. law if passed, the House of Representatives will be voting on this in the next few days. There are many flaws with this, the EFF has a good FAQ about CISPA. In short it gives power to private companies to share their user's data with 3rd parties whenever they feel like it. This concerns anyone who uses an American company for anything from forums to email and so on.

Obama promised to veto it which could mean he'll actually sign it and say he has some reservations, a bit like with the NDAA.

You Are A Criminal (if you are American)

You Are A Criminal | manurevah on Manurevah

If you are American it is possible that by violating the Terms of Service of a website (which constantly change without warning) that you are a criminal. With that in mind, here are my Terms of Service:

By visiting this website you are exceeding your authorized access.
Therefore you are a criminal.
Do not Reply Emails Should not be Delivered

There are too many emails being sent from donotreply@domain.tld addresses. These addresses explicitly don't exist and/or will not accept emails, yet they are the sender/replyto of important emails like order confirmations and what not. I've recently seen this for domain name transfers.

The Pie Chart-ish

I continued working on my SVG with web stats and finally got it too look like a Pie Chart. I'm using web stats data just because it's fresh and live data that I can use to demonstrate, but this could be used for anything of course.

The idea is to update the good old Pie Chart. So voila, the The Pie Chart-ish.


Sorry I cannot embed this here as it's an SVG. Also note, no Javascript was used to make this, just plain HTML/CSS and SVG. All data is live, it's the percentage of visits in various sections of the website in the last 60 minutes.

Playing with SVG and Web Stats

Playing with SVG and Web Stats

A few months ago I was asked to build some interface to display data, so I had a chance to play with SVG again, I had finally taken some time out to use things like Animate.

For once Microsoft has a point. As often in such cases they are saying the right thing for the wrong reasons.

DNS Hijacking via Barefruit Talktalk and Others

How malicious is your ISP ?

If they practice DNS hijacking then it's pretty damn messed up and should obviously be illegal. Yet for some reason there are ISPs that do this and have been getting away with this for years. Even stranger is that it's apparently tolerated, by clients as well as law.

I finally got some time to read through this interview of Linus Torvalds today. He's known to have an aggressive sense of humor, sometimes funny, sometimes stupid and gratuitous, he's aware of that and that's how I justify my respect for the guy. That and seriously, the Linux kernel is pretty pretty pretty good. I have a remark to make on something he said, I'll try to address this in a hopefully compatible tone.

BTW ich frage mich wo ich hier jetzt eigentlich bin ;) Ob ich Euch hier (dem Provider - Team) überhaupt meine Daten anvertrauen kann und wie ich zukünftig im Web herumspazieren kann/soll. Das fragt Ihr Euch wohl auch. naja. Ob ich friendica auch mal selber installieren soll. Wozu überhaupt?
Hi to All. Looking good already

Importing

Hi there,

so I found out how to export/download my personal data from the friendica server I am on (mist.loozah.com). Can I upload/import it to a new server? How? Or is there another way to move from one friendica server to another one?

thanks a lot,
Torsten

Hallo Leute,
beim Jungen Radio von coloRadio haben die Kids in den #Sommerferien so richtig aufgedreht. Und zwar die Mikrofone. Für unsere Ferienpass-Sondersendung hat sich die Ferien-Redaktion "Ten Kids" auf der #Ostrale in #Dresden umgesehen. Das ist eine Kunstausstellung auf der wir spannende Interviews über zeitgenössische Kunst und ein seltsames Musikinstrument geführt haben. Außerdem haben sich die Kids für Euch ein #Hörspiel ausgedacht, eine #Umfrage zu einer Oase in Dresden-Trachau durchgeführt, eine Bürgerinitiative interviewt und... show more

makr.io?

what is going on with diaspora? they seem to put efforts in a pretty useless and boring project called makr.io.

Diaspora* - What does it mean to make something? on Diasporafoundation

tl;dr We have launched Makr.io, a sister project to D* that tackles different, but related problems to giving people ownership over their data. Makr, is not replacing D* in any way, and it will complement it even more in the future....
