@vaclovas @vilisas O Zapad'as jau prasidėjo? Gal čia susiję?

Buvo internets prilėtėjęs šiandien (neįprasta) ir prieš 5 min. gavau ESO žinutę apie sutrikimą mano adresu ir, kad taisys, nors nieko nevyksta. Paskambinau operatorei – sistemoje irgi nemato gedimų.

O čia https://vurk.lt meteo zondų trackeris. Zondai leidžiami kiekvieną naktį iš Kauno (kaliningrade irgi leisdavo), jie pakylą į tam tikrą aukštį, balionai sprogsta ir nusileidžia. Bet nuo tam tikro aukščio pasijaučia GPS pozicijos spoofinimas, ką rodo visi tolimi taškai už Lietuvos ribų.

Pora įdomesnių epizodų iš mano darbo paieškų.

Kolkas aktyviai neieškau (užimtas darbais prie namo), bet vis recruiteriai pasiūlo tai pasvarstau ir pabendrauju.

Šiandien gavau pasiūlymą su labai geru atlyginimu užsienio įmonėje. Pasidomėjau įmone – valdyboje buvo žmogus, kuris turėjo reikalų su Epšteinu. Na ir founderis su crypto verslavęs. Norisi tų babkių, bet skip.

Prieš porą savaičių viena pozicija man netiko dėl naudojamos technologijos (turiu asmeninę istoriją). Parašiau recruiterei, kad ačiū, bet su šituo tiesiog nedirbu. Gavau atsakymą, dalį išsisaugojau: "kita vertus- tai gera galimybė užsidirbti, tik reikia "nusileisti", o jie už tai sumoka. Valandinis įkainis gali būti ir 50+ eur/h. Pagalvokite...".

Pagalvojau gal jai pasiūlyti "nusileisti" už 50 EUR/h.

"Younger people will have trouble picturing this, but #Google used to nurture an image of being the “good one” among megacorps; they championed #openstandards (except when they didn’t), supported #opensource projects (until they backstabbed them), and used language that corporate wasn’t supposed to use, like #dontbeEvil (until they,in a true dark comedy move, retracted that motto).
I was always an anarchist, abstractly, but in many ways Google was my political awakening."

Nauja savaitė, nauji reikalai po tyrimo #PremjerasSuPalūkanom. Dabar pasakysiu du dalykus. Pirmas - ką girdėsit iš premjero ir/arba jo aplinkos. Antras - kaip yra iš tikrųjų.
Ką išgirsit jau netrukus. Politikai kalbės, kaip čia “fsio zakonno”, nes ILTE baigė 200k paskolos premjero verslui suteikimo auditą ir pažeidimų nenustatė. Jie remsis šiandien paleistu ILTE pranešimu. O tiksliau - pirmu jo sakiniu. Bet visi kiti sakiniai - ne tokie patogūs.
Taigi dabar skaitykit, kai yra iš tikrųjų. Svarbiausias dalykas - ILTE pripažįsta, kad yra spraga, kuria buvo pasinaudota. Cituoju banko vadovą Dainių Vilčinską:
“…kaip parodė susiklosčiusi situacija, taikomas įmonių grupės traktavimas yra per siauras. Turėtų būti vertinami ir per akcininkus – fizinius asmenis – susijusių įmonių verslo ryšiai, akcininkų dalyvavimas įmonių veikloje.”
Verčiant į žmonių kalbą - ILTE pripažįsta, kad programos “Startuok” taisyklėse padaryta klaida, leidžianti įmonių sąsasjumą vertint per labai siaurą tiesioginės kontrolės prizmę. Tie patys akcininkai? Tas pats veiklos sektorius? Nesvarbu - svarbu, kad “startupo” tiesiogiai nekontroliuoja kita -iolika metų veikianti įmonė. ILTE remiasi vienu įstatymu su turbūt siauriausiu įmanomu susijusių įmonių apibrėžimu, ir bankas pripažįsta, kad tai nėra gerai.
O tarp eilučių - ILTE pripažįsta, kad “nesusijusios” įmonės yra dar ir kaip susijusios. Ir tame ir yra visa esmė. #sureikšminkim

At first I thought "wow, there's a #privacy event in #Vilnius but then I read the post.

I'm not a privacy expert, but this is the second year in a row that I'm attending the Baltic Privacy and Innovation Summit n Vilnius, organized by LDAPA and Sorainen. Great panelists, great presentations - it's one of the conferences I'd recommend to anyone working in tech.

This year, however, I left the conference with a very bleak feeling about the future of the tech sector, mainly due to several ideas, thoughts, or remarks shared by panelists during the discussions:
- GDPR overreach: Its application has gone into overdrive — even data that a business cannot reasonably link to a physical person, and has no means to, is now considered personal data. Or worse - indirectly identifiable personal data. But if its indirect, shouldn't it be non-personal? Crazy thought, I know.
- No other laws apply: In tech, it's as if only the GDPR and the ePrivacy Directive exist. Nothing else.
- Fragmentation in enforcement: The European Commission wants to deregulate, yet the application of laws is left to national authorities. The EU has 27 national data protection authorities, but Germany alone has one federal and 17 state-level authorities - each potentially with a different view on privacy. Some regulators engage with businesses to guide GDPR compliance; others prefer to “regulate” by imposing fines. And if you don't like it - go litigate. So much for the EU single market.

Bruce Schneier testified at a hearing yesterday titled "The Federal Government in the Age of Artificial Intelligence"

"You all need to assume that our adversaries have copies of *all the data* DOGE has exfiltrated and have established access into *all the networks* that DOGE has removed security controls from.

And your data can be used against you..."

"#AI" #infosec

Written Expert Testimony to the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform Hearing titled “The Federal Government in the Age of Artificial Intelligence” Bruce Schneier Fellow and Adjunct Lecturer Harvard Kennedy School June 4, 2025 Data security breaches present significant dangers to everyone in the United States, from private citizens to corporations to government agencies to elected officials. Over the past four months, DOGE’s approach to data access has massively exacerbated the risk. DOGE employees have accessed and exfiltrated data from a variety of government agencies in order to, in part, train AI systems. Their actions have weakened security within the federal government by bypassing and disabling critical security measures, exporting sensitive data to environments with less security, and consolidating disparate data streams to create a massively attractive target for any adversary. Data consolidation might seem harmless or even positive, but we have to understand what’s at stake when our data gets consolidated. Data is power. Any entity, whether public or private, that holds data about individuals has some ability to understand, predict, and manipulate their behavior. For example, major tech companies use people’s individual data to deliver advertising that shapes what we buy and even what we believe...

The Ukrainian Armed Forces struck a locomotive transporting a column of Russian military equipment, the Southern Defense Forces confirm.

As a result, Russia lost 13 tanks and over 100 units of armored and automotive vehicles. Waiting for visual confirmation.

folks, could someone please suggest a mobile (for android) #firefox fork / config capable of automatically engaging reader mode for every web page / site on load?

i know there are plugins for that and i’ve tried some of them but a) they don’t always work even on «desktop» versions of firefox (at least for me) and b) they simly don’t work at all on my phone.

almost forgot: no google play please: f-droid or sideloading open source apps only.

What's been lost...
Entomologists from Krefeld, Germany, collected flying insects for two weeks in August 1994 (left) and—at the same site, with an identical trap— in August 2016 (right). Similar data from 63 German protected areas overall gave a shocking result: a 76 percent drop in insect biomass between 1989 and 2016.
It has worsened significantly in the past 9 years.
