I will translate it to English and try to sing it, John.  But remember, I
sing really bad.  When I was a kid, used to call it "poetic freedom",
"artistic reinterpretation", hahahaha!!!  <3

All Cecilias love to create new visions of art, hahahaha!!!  ;D

My "Oda Nobunaga" is a kind person, not so bloody like his famous and cruel
ancestor.  We are very different, but I love him very much and respect
several of his ideas, like: - "There is no lazy hacker." or "Don't kill
your hackerspace's little buddy, Ceci."

He's right.  Too much bad karma and is always hard to hide the corpses...
Shoganai!  :-/

I love you very, very much too, John.  I am completely sure you would like
him.

I am exhausted now, but I will write to you in private later and tell about
interesting books, movies, comics, and series.  And to my eternal beloved
Mirimir, to sweet Marina, to fun musical Steve, to a lot of cool
persons...  I love this list.

Tender kisses, warm hugs, sweet dreams, and a serene heart for everyone.
Wish you all only kindness and happiness in this confuse but still
beautiful world.  I love you and feel grateful for knowing so fun,
interesting, astonishing people in this messy list, hahahaha!!!  <3

Nobunaga Oda's translation for the last verse sounds much more precise.  I
made a too literal and weak translation, and changed it twice before
posting:

"WE, CATS, WERE BORN IN POVERTY

provide the (forbidden, banned, 'reallybad!!!' 'highly-illegal') product file.  
 Neither file, alone, would be 'forbidden'.  
The purpose of this is not 'secrecy' of course, but merely deniability.  
Without the other file(s), the one file _I_ possess will be indistinguishable

There are various improvements, but the most basic operational mode
is simple in design and ought be straightforward to implement - never
has been, yet.

The protocol should not be TCP, but should be UDP.

Then apps can use UDP, or TCP, or any protocol higher than UDP;
TCP precludes, or rather introduces latency and other problems, for
many apps/protocols that rely on something lower level than TCP.

Indeed. Lots of improvements possible.


Anecdote:

Back about 3 years ago when I first ran a Tor exit node at home (on a
~1 MiB/s ADSL), I would sometimes SSH into the box from another
location and forward VNC for a virtual desktop, really just to
monitor the Tor node.

Pretty consistently, within about 10 minutes, the SSH connection
would die with some SSH error, so I'd reconnect and watch some more,
then it would die again.

It appeared evident to me that SSH had some bug that was being
exploited to, at the very least, kill SSH connections with some
presumably packet injection or modification (presumably after
monitoring the connection for a bit).

That, of course, was entirely disconcerting.

Since then there's been at least one SSH bug finally disclosed/
fixed, though I can't find the one that stood out to me as
commensurate to my experience, the following may be of anecdotal
interest:


  Fixing The New OpenSSH Roaming Bug
  https://www.upguard.com/blog/fixing-the-new-openssh-roaming-bug

  ... The flaw involves the accidental inclusion of experimental
  client-side roaming support in the OpenSSH client, despite being
  disabled on the server-side years ago. This feature essentially
  enables users to resume broken SSH connections. Unfortunately, a
  maliciously configured server can exploit a bug in the client and
  capture its memory contents, including any private encryption keys
  used for SSH connections.

https://nakedsecurity.sophos.com/2018/10/17/serious-ssh-bug-lets-crooks-log-in-just-by-asking-nicely/

  Big, bad, scary bug of the moment is CVE-2018-10933.

  This is a serious flaw – in fact, it’s a very serious flaw – in a
  free software library called libssh.

  The flaw is more than just serious – it’s scary, because it
  theoretically allows anyone to log into a server protected with
  libssh without entering a password at all.

  It’s scary because ssh, or SSH as it is often written, is probably
  the most widely deployed remote access protocol in the world.

  Almost all Unix and Linux servers use SSH for remote
  administration, and there are an awful lot of awfully large server
  farms out there, and so there’s an awful lot of SSH about.

  ... By far the most commonly used SSH version out there is an open
  source product called OpenSSH, created and maintained by the
  security-conscious folks at OpenBSD.

  OpenSSH is a completely separate implementation to libssh – they
  don’t include or rely on each other’s code.

  Other well-known open source implementations of SSH include
  Dropbear (a stripped down version commonly used on routers and
  other IoT devices), libssh2 (it’s a different product to

  An elite government-appointed group called the National

  where resources are being inefficiently handled and even
  squandered. They come back to the United States Congress with an

this reminds me of another physical system:

implosion nukes (modern nukes) all use varying lengths of wire to igniters in 
the shaped charges surrounding the pit.

the result is that you must vary the ignition signal to each charge according 
to the secret lengths, otherwise you cannot achieve symmetrical implosion.

not a complete deterrent to unauthorized detonation, but certainly makes it 
much more difficult.

The way I see it, there are at least two ways to promote TOR.   
1.   Openly promote TOR:   "TOR is great".  "TOR is secure enough".   "We don't 
need an improvement to TOR".
and the second is:
2.  Oppose potential improvements or augmented systems other than TOR.   List
