Summary: Video about the past day’s work and what’s coming up later today, notably the InteLeaks

THE VIDEO above covers a lot of topics and mentions what we’ve been doing lately. Special thanks go to Mogz for the artwork, which we love. She is an artist who really likes the site.

“The time take to open pages is now vastly improved; speed has been doubled or better!”“Just to send a funny little card,” she said, “to you and all contributors/readers, to wish all the best for 2021. [...] Thanks for all your work, and the best of wishes for 2021.”

The video mentions some of the pains we’ve had with E-mail, some of the work done on monitoring, automation, Raspberry Pi (for IPFS), cron jobs, and improving loading speed of the site. The time it takes to open pages is now vastly improved; speed has been doubled or better!

We’re now assessing how to release the Intel material [1, 2] (especially order of publication) because impact and reach certainly matter to sources.

Shown below is a 2-core processor from Intel; it’s well known that monopolies not only increase pricing but also lower quality of products. When they no longer have to actually compete (because they cheat) there is no incentive to actually improve because improvements cost extra money to develop. The legacy of companies like Microsoft and Intel is a big stain on this century; one can only imagine how much more progress would have been made if it weren’t for this monopolistic “Duo” (like the chip). █

  3. Sirius 'Open Source' Pensiongate: An Introduction

    The Sirius ‘Open Source’ series continues in the form of a mini-series about pensions; it’s part of an ongoing investigation of a deep mystery that impacts people who left the company quite a long time ago and some of the lessons herein are applicable to any worker with a pension (at times of financial uncertainties)

  11. Reality Versus Fiction: EPO Insiders Versus EPO Web Site and UPC 'Churnalists'

    The "official" sources of the European Patent Office (EPO), as well as the sedated "media" that the EPO is bribing for further bias, cannot tell the truth about this very large institution; for proper examination of Europe's largest patent office one must pursue the interpretation by longtime veterans and insiders, who are increasingly upset and abused (they're being pressured to grant patents in violation of the charter of the EPO)

  18. 2023 is the Year Taxpayers' Money Goes to War and Energy Subsidies, Not Tech

    Now that a lot of powerful and omnipresent ‘tech’ (spying and policing) companies are rotting away we have golden opportunities to bring about positive change and maybe even recruit technical people for good causes

  19. Getting Back to Productive Computer Systems Would Benefit Public Health and Not Just Boost Productivity

    “Smartphoneshame” (shaming an unhealthy culture of obsession with “apps”) would potentially bring about a better, more sociable society with fewer mental health crises and higher productivity levels

  21. Dotcom Boom and Bust, Round 2

    The age of technology giants/monopolies devouring everything or military-funded (i.e. taxpayers-subsidised) surveillance/censorship tentacles, in effect privatised eyes of the state, may be ending; the United States can barely sustain that anymore and raising the debt ceiling won't solve that (buying time isn't the solution)

  22. Society Would Benefit From a Smartphoneshame Movement

    In a society plagued by blackmail, surveillance and frivolous lawsuits it is important to reconsider the notion of “smart” phone ownership; these devices give potentially authoritarian companies and governments far too much power over people (in the EU they want to introduce new legislation that would, in effect, ban Free software if it enables true privacy)

  28. Sirius Finished

    Yesterday I was sent a letter approving my resignation from Sirius ‘Open Source’, two months after I had already announced that I was resigning with immediate effect; they sent an identical letter to my wife (this time, unlike before, they remembered to also change the names!!)

  29. The Collapse of Sirius in a Nutshell: How to Identify the Symptoms and Decide When to Leave

    Sirius is finished, but it's important to share the lessons learned with other people; there might be other "pretenders" out there and they need to be abandoned
