| schestowitz | Let me be clear about my position on the BBC. I worked there in radio | Dec 09 07:59 |
| schestowitz | in the late 90s and loved it, happy times. Practically, the | Dec 09 07:59 |
| schestowitz | organisation itself was great, they bought equipment I asked for, paid | Dec 09 07:59 |
| schestowitz | invoices and expenses on time, treated people politely and had good | Dec 09 07:59 |
| schestowitz | grub in the canteen. And there were smart, engaging people there, a | Dec 09 07:59 |
| schestowitz | culture I miss. | Dec 09 07:59 |
| schestowitz | Yet politically the organisation was, and is, a hive of cultivated | Dec 09 07:59 |
| schestowitz | naivety and cowardice. Like all big agencies, government, intelligence | Dec 09 07:59 |
| schestowitz | etc, it has its's own internal narrative that is totally | Dec 09 07:59 |
| schestowitz | delusional. In their minds they were never complicit in spreading lies | Dec 09 07:59 |
| schestowitz | that started the Iraq war - they literally believe that. But on a more | Dec 09 07:59 |
| schestowitz | personal level to see how "circles of silence" actually operate was | Dec 09 07:59 |
| schestowitz | enlightening. Everyone would say Jimmy Savile is a pederast and | Dec 09 07:59 |
| schestowitz | necrophile. Prominent people said to my face "you know he likes to | Dec 09 07:59 |
| schestowitz | fuck dead kids, especially the disabled ones that are most helpless? | Dec 09 07:59 |
| schestowitz | ... but never say that!". Anyone who said it too loud disappeared. | Dec 09 07:59 |
| schestowitz | Being made party that "shop talk" was a rite of acceptance (Blutkitt | Dec 09 07:59 |
| schestowitz | in Nazi parlence) even for peripheral auxiliaries like me. Everyone | Dec 09 07:59 |
| schestowitz | knew (as John Bowlby put it) what they were not supposed to know, and | Dec 09 07:59 |
| schestowitz | were compliant in keeping it an "open" secret within the business. I | Dec 09 07:59 |
| schestowitz | first heard that in '96 and it didn't really surface publicly until | Dec 09 07:59 |
| schestowitz | 2016. So to my firsthand knowledge at least two decades passed where a | Dec 09 07:59 |
| schestowitz | known child molestere operated with impunity within the highest levels | Dec 09 07:59 |
| schestowitz | of the establishment. | Dec 09 07:59 |
| schestowitz | As a student of organisational dynamics and psychology I hold the BBC | Dec 09 07:59 |
| schestowitz | no more or less accountable than any other institution stuffed with | Dec 09 07:59 |
| schestowitz | snivelling cowards, failed creatives, hopelessly failed leaders and | Dec 09 08:00 |
| schestowitz | narcissistic psychopaths - all the human waste that institutions | Dec 09 08:00 |
| schestowitz | attract and amplify at senior levels. | Dec 09 08:00 |
| schestowitz | > But first about Tor. The project used to have a more detailed page | Dec 09 08:00 |
| schestowitz | > explaining its user base, but the gist remains: | Dec 09 08:00 |
| schestowitz | I've written extensively on overlay networks, the US Navy remit and | Dec 09 08:00 |
| schestowitz | the demonisation of privacy respecting networks by mass media. Not | Dec 09 08:00 |
| schestowitz | sure how much made it into Digital Vegan. | Dec 09 08:00 |

| schestowitz | > ability to "NAT punch" for road warriors and those in similar | Dec 09 08:00 |
| schestowitz | > situations. | Dec 09 08:00 |
| schestowitz | I routinely use several mainstream sites (DDG and BBC) that have | Dec 09 08:00 |
| schestowitz | hidden servivce. Often if I'm travelleing and in hotel rooms Tor is | Dec 09 08:00 |
| schestowitz | the only access I can and will use to get out to the world. One of | Dec 09 08:00 |
| schestowitz | the biggest threats to privacy and security on the web in my mind is | Dec 09 08:00 |
| schestowitz | therefore Cloudflare and other CDNs that make almost half of the web | Dec 09 08:00 |
| schestowitz | off-limits to me (no real loss afaics as its mainly trash sites). | Dec 09 08:00 |
| schestowitz | > Now about self-signed certificates, I too observe that the major web | Dec 09 08:00 |

| schestowitz | This is an excellent point that bridges security engineering and | Dec 09 08:00 |
| schestowitz | law. Since there is no link between self-signing and "safety" it seems | Dec 09 08:00 |
| schestowitz | like a case of libelous misinformation. I wonder how exposed to | Dec 09 08:00 |
| schestowitz | liability Netcraft or Google are for misleading potential customers of | Dec 09 08:00 |
| schestowitz | self-signing sites? | Dec 09 08:00 |

| schestowitz | It would be interesting to plot the output of this over time | Dec 09 08:00 |

| schestowitz | Dear SUEPO members, | Dec 09 11:28 |
| schestowitz | In May 2021, SUEPO distributed templates and instructions to file complaints against the New Career System (NCS) on the basis of the individual decisions of lack of automatic step and the transposition letter. | Dec 09 11:28 |
| schestowitz | On 17 September 2021, Ms Simon (VP4) issued a rejection decision on appeal RI/2017/041 against the general decision CA/D 10/14 of the NCS. | Dec 09 11:28 |
| schestowitz | SUEPO recommends appellants to also file a complaint in front of the Tribunal on this basis. This publication explains how. SUEPO members receive the required instructions and templates by email. | Dec 09 11:28 |
| schestowitz | If you are a SUEPO member and have not received by email the instructions and templates, or need help, please contact your local SUEPO committee:xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx | Dec 09 11:28 |

| schestowitz | In a letter to the requesters dated 14 July 2015, the Chairman of the Council stated that | Dec 09 11:29 |
