<p>we always say here in the Philippines that cyber crimes and disinformation campaigns that happened in the country will happen in the US (or West), because the Philippines has been the petri dish to weaken US democracy. Maria Ressa won a Nobel peace for this topic.</p>
<p>What I'm listening to today: Autechre Live at Oscillate (Birmingham 1993)</p><p>According to interviews this was the first "proper" Autechre live set; they didn't initially believe their style could work live until the Oscillate operator talked them into it. One month before Warp published "Inculabula", this set is *incredible*, a bridge from Lego Feet, dance percussion over dreamy vibes, closing at 25:20 with an alluring, gentle funk track that's one of my favorite Autechres</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QihouwnA3x8" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="">youtube.com/watch?v=QihouwnA3x8</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p>

<p>"why does software require maintenance, it's not like it wears down"</p><p>Because software is not generally useful for any inherent good; what matters is its relationship with the surrounding context, and that context is in perpetual change.</p>
<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@whitequark" class="u-url mention">@<span>whitequark</span></a></span> I'm on an instance that restricts federation with mastodon.social due to spam, so I only saw maybe half the replies here until I clicked to view the original post.</p><p>It's kind of annoying but I'm also kind of used to it 🤷</p>
<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@whitequark" class="u-url mention">@<span>whitequark</span></a></span> I’ll constantly see a reply to a post in my timeline and my Mastodon client recognizes it’s a thread and marks it as such, but when I click on it, I can’t see the original post. It’s infuriating!</p>
<p><span>Congratulations, the screenshot showed that you've just passed the Internet Operator Competency Assessment Test of China, Level 1 (Learner, China in 2005). To obtain higher levels of certification, study the following subjects:<br><br>Level 2 (Beginner, China in 2007): Upgrading all deployed network protocols to encrypted versions, not only TCP but DNS and TLS SNI. If no encrypted version is available, use heuristic filters to ignore spoofed results.<br>Level 3 (Technician, China in 2010): Implement an original tunneling protocol resistant to keyword Sniffing, TCP reset attacks, and active probing.<br>Level 4 (Professional, China in 2013): Design an anti-traffic policer to maintain high throughput under intentional QoS and packet loss. Assess its effectiveness for China Telecom, China Unicom to Hong Kong, Korea, Japan, Singapore, USA, and Russia.<br>Level 5 (Engineer, China in 2015): Run multi-city network congestion monitoring servers via ping and traceroute. Learn the topology of domestic and international network backbone using self-study materials of mixed quality, identify key ISPs with good peering and transit relationships using BGP Looking Glass. <br>Level 6 (Expert, 2000-2024, always ongoing): Develop an original exploit to disrupt or de-synchronize stateful firewalls, such as manipulating packet fragmentation bit, spoofing SYN, ACK, FIN, allowing the Great Firewall of China to ignore your traffic completely.<br><br>By completing these certifications, you would be able to surf the Internet and looking at GitHub source code and American cat pictures with confidence.</span></p>
