Ich habe mein Passwort in "falsch" geändert. Wenn ich nun mein Passwort vergesse, sagt mir der Rechner: "Ihr Passwort ist falsch". Was bin ich nur für ein Fuchs.

Just a casual reminder

Proud to see my work is referenced in a famous German IT Security-Blog. 😊 https://www.kuketz-blog.de/mythos-datenschutzparadies-die-schweiz-und-ihr-nachrichtendienstgesetz/

Wollte mehrmals aufhören diesen viel zu langen Text weiter zu lesen, aber the Truth Bombs just keep coming. Das Internet ist ein einziger großer Angriff auf seine User geworden. Man ergibt sich entweder, oder kämpft jeden Tag. Und es nervt hart. Permanent. www.wheresyoured.at/never-forgiv...

Wo bleibt eigentlich das entsetzte „ES. REICHT.“ unseres Kanzlers zu den Messerangriffen der letzten Tage und einem Sofortprogramm für bessere psychische/psychiatrische Versorgung für alle?!

#Trump, #Musk, #Putin, #Netanjahu, #Erdoğan, #Orban, #LePenn, and #Kickl are #populist #fascists. There, I said it publicly.

Many more western politicians have clear fascist, illiberal tendencies, including previous #FPÖVP chancellors and current governors (Austrian #federalism does not work any more and needs to be severely limited to get back to a functioning government).

[https://www.derstandard.at/story/3000000021253/was-kickl-als-volkskanzler-bedeuten-wuerde is a good summary of some reasonable criteria for spotting #fascism, and https://www.diepresse.com/19301692/haben-wir-es-den-faschisten-zu-leicht-gemacht gives more insight into the Austrian variant. https://www.aaup.org/news/professors-are-not-enemy-fascists-are%C2%A0 gives links to the current US government fight against academia.]

The result of this toot is probably that I _really_ shouldn't be traveling to the #US, #Israel, or #Turkey with their current governments. Luckily, I still dare write such statements publicly in Austria and the wider EU. If I really have to get into political trouble, then let it be because I denounce fascism and oppose the abuse of technology to build surveillance states driven by fear. I will not fight with violence, but I can and will fight it with words.

I have been trying for hours to debug what I thought was a #Treafik regression causing massive CPU usage to the point that my own (very small) dockerized services I host for my family are getting slow and hard to reach.

But no, my meager virtual server is just being DDoSed by stupid #AI bots downloading pieces of my webpage over and over and over again. It looks like the steps described in https://www.mayrhofer.eu.org/post/defenses-against-abusive-ai-scrapers/ are no longer working, and I need to start looking into actual IP blocking. However, as AI fraudsters are resorting to using massive client pools for downloading, that will also become difficult.

This is new. The AI scraper bots amounting to over 90% of all traffic until a couple of weeks ago were annoying, but my services still worked. Now it has reached the level of active denial of service.

Ich durfte ja letztes Jahr im Rahmen der "Geschichtestunde" bei den Grazer Linuxtagen etwas nostalgisch werden und habe "Waterloo" etwas zu lang laufen lassen.

Nun, heute vor 50 Jahren hat ABBA damit die schwedische Vorausscheidung für den ESC und in der Folge am 6. April 1974 den ESC mit 6 Punkten Vorsprung gewonnen.

Thank you for the music!

Today was ... interesting. If you followed me for the past months over on the shitbird site, you might have seen a bunch of angry German words, lots of graphs, and the occassional news paper, radio, or TV snippet with yours truely. Let me explain.

In Austria, inflation is way above the EU average. There's no end in sight. This is especially true for basic needs like energy and food.

Our government stated in May that they'd build a food price database together with the big grocery chains. But..

Warum sagt man eigentlich Wärmepumpe und nicht Technologieofen?

#Brainwashing as a psychological concept is brainwashing itself: it doesn't exist and prevents us from thinking out of the box concepts we accept as "the #norm". 😯

Great 22min #video to watch and learn how brainwashing was used to actually manipulate the perception of the masses. 🤯
