problem: journalctl sometimes prints the log "upside down"

solution: stop using `-e` with `-g` (use `-S` and pipe to tail, maybe)

why: `journalctl -e` doesn't mean "just consider the latest entries" as i've always thought -- it means "pager, jump to the end" and implies `-n1000` which when used with `-g` implies `--reverse` and there's no `--unreverse` option

@qbi @watchfulcitizen no, but [email protected] might be coordinating something

davfs mounts stopped working on laptop after some package upgrade recently -- "ls: reading directory 'mountpoint': Invalid argument", ie EINVAL.

FUSE_READDIR => "RET: Invalid argument" while FUSE_READ, FUSE_LOOKUP and more kept working fine.

Showed to be kernel changes in 6.16 causing this and that setting buf_size 64 in davfs2.conf is fixing the issue.

davfs2 no longer works under Linux 6.16 · Issue #22 · alisarctl/davfs2

New blocks that emerged in #Russia over the last year include:

• Blocking of Russian & international human rights websites (Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International)
• Blocking of investigative journalism & news media sites
• Blocking of Instagram, SoundCloud , Patreon

We confirmed the blocking of 48 domains (including a @[email protected] domain) based on OONI data, which do not appear to be included in #Russia’s official blocking registry.

OONI data also suggests that access to a major CDN was blocked in the past year.

Two weeks ago was the final trial day in the district trial against me. If you haven't been up to date on this case, I am being accused of illegally entering the systems of CNT - an Ecuadorean public telco. The accusation is backed up with an image that if displaying something real, shows a terminal session with Telnet, where Telnet is used to connect over Tor to an IP address. The machine asks for a username, nothing is entered and the connection times out. This is what the Ecuador government claims is the main proof against me.

I was first arrested on April 11th, 2019, for other charges. This was later changed. I was in jail for 70 days until released by a Habeas Corpus. Instead, since June 20th, 2019, I've been living with restrictions on my bank accounts, prohibition to leave the country and weekly presentation to the prosecutor. We have been basically waiting for the trial to finish for almost four years. It finally started in Jan 2021.

In this thread, I quickly wanted to recap what happened during the last trial day (Jan 31, 2023), and what might come next.

The DPO’s Aria

Startups will you do your DPO a favour please
Do not gather data unless somebody agrees
Because when you build it creepy
I get weepy
And you could face massive massive fines
And yes they’re massive massive fines
All the paperwork
Comes to me
