I read that he claimed to do it because 'posts from archive'.

That's a nonsense excuse. The archive handles threads just fine.

He's (or "it"... whatever) is doing this to make sure IT'S email gets
seen and isn't buried in a thread. Considering IT'S never had any
content worth opening an email over, I simply consider it MOAR LISTSPAM!

I wish them rots of ruck. Locally they chalk sidewalks (then a guy with
a diesel powered steamcleaner comes to clean it up) and even though they
do their thing at the downtown open air public street shopping mall,
fail to EVER mention CONSUMERISM as one of the main planet destroyers
emanating from consumer crapitalist industrial societies like toxic to
all life spirochetes, and OF COURSE, ZERO mention of the Pentagon's
environmental ravaging with the added 'bonus' of all those FILTHY
Mil-Ind complex sites. For example, Watkins-Johnson in the 1980s, mil
RF, which dumped hundreds of gallons of TCE into the well on their Scott
Valley Ca site, PERMANENTLY TOXIFYING the local aquifer. Scotts Valley
still gets it's water from Santa Clara.

Listen. To Save the Environment, YOU have to do it!

YOU YOU YOU!

Telling other people they need to, or beg and plead and cajole your
government, whose rich scumbag friends get filthy rich polluting
everything they touch, it is fucking well worse than useless.

Meanwhile, in Germany, a local town is in revolt about a Tesla
manufacturing shithole

Extinction Rebellion is clearly a CIA-Russian operation. Beyond that,
all organizations that offer membership to the public has a leadership
comprised of informants.

https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2019/08/03/delingpole-exposed-soros-on-list-of-mega-rich-extinction-rebellion-backers/

Major donors are said to include — inevitably — George Soros; Vivienne
Westwood’s son Joe Corre (the saucy underwear and dildo tycoon, worth
$48 million); the European Climate Foundation (which funnels money
from far-left American philanthropic foundations to European climate
projects); Greenpeace; the far-left Tides Foundation; and a little
known Swiss asset management company, called Furka Holdings, founded
by a banker with Russian links, which gave £50,000.


Server infrastructure talk for Extinction Rebellion

2020-01-26 Thread Greg Newby
I just watched an informative talk from 36C3 by Julian Oliver:
 https://media.ccc.de/v/36c3-11008-server_infrastructure_for_global_rebellion

At around minute 28 he begins talking about the specific server software, 
datacenter hosting, and other aspects of their operational security 
implementation. This description goes to around minute 44, and then there is 
some Q that is also quite informative.

Nobody asked him why they didn't use TOR -- presumably it wasn't even a 
contender. For sysadmin activity they use VPNs to countries with strict data 
protection laws (Switzerland and Iceland are mentioned). Data partitions are 
encrypted, and they have various contingency plans in the event a server is 
seized. 

At around minute 34, there is a list of the different software choices they 
made to support Extinction Rebellion. They chose alternatives to Slack, Google, 
Mailchimp, Zoom, etc. Some were found to be better than the better-known 
alternatives, and some were worse, for performance, scalability and usability. 
He mentioned that modern users are looking for something like a Google-based 
single sign-on, which is anathema to the anti-surveillance infrastructure they 
are focusing on.

The software and configuration choices are today's best-of-breed for making 
surveillance and seizure more difficult. This naturally includes not utilizing 
commercial solutions, and also naturally includes self-hosting the 
infrastructure.


ER is a global movement that is highly decentralized and, according to the 
first 28 minutes of the talk, is having an impact. This is primarily through 
non-violent actions. They mainly seek progress on combating climate change.
