‘Proof of life’

n a matter of ~2 weeks Wikileaks (not Wikipedia) is turning 20. I used to write a great deal here about Wikileaks and some accounts associated with Wikileaks wished to replicate some of my posts.

Over the years many pro-Wikileaks accounts perished in Twitter (now X) and Wikileaks’ Twitter handle has been dead for months. I wonder if Wikileaks will bother saying anything at all on the day it turns 20.

Cursing all day long like a drunkard

he irrelevant loser who sends my wife and I veiled threats via social control media (all he ever does to people is threaten them; he does so even to his own spouse) is talking to himself again. Nobody bothers reading what he says, yet he insists that he has reputation. When it comes to technology, 2-3 days were not enough for him to fix a laptop and he simply gave up. This means that his lack of reputation in tech is also self-evident. He has no publications in that area because he is a pretending-at-best socialite and a thug, a bully.

Dealing with bullies is a common problem. There are ways to deal with it.

Having become known for restricted boot infamy, he is not popular. As a purveyor of restricted boot (who landed restricted boot in Linux), he’s known for sucking up to monopolies. He acts like them, too.

They say it’s politics, then the debate ends

T is rather amusing to see how discussion about an anonymity group was ended abruptly by the FSF’s Eko Kai Alanah Owen because of a sort of CoC that basically says: talk about this, but not about that…

From what I can gather, the only thing making it “political” was the Cheeto Dictator in the United States, otherwise it’s a topic of a technical and legal nature.

We probably deserve a discussion about censorship and deplatforming that is not painted with political brushes (to avoid having the discussion).

already mentioned, back in July, that British police has a case (with Crime Number) for the death threats we received in connection to Americans or thugs who work for American companies (represented by hired guns in London). The person who investigates this case “has now gone off on long term sick” (according to a colleague), but the case is still open.

As of 3 hours ago, one of them who is connected to the threats issued a public veiled threat and it should not be taken lightly. 2 months ago he failed to attend his own hearing (this was wilful, he made this choice), now he is trying to compensate for it with threats made online, from America, via social control media.

Stay classy. Remember this is the man who is the principal purveyor of restricted boot and who landed restricted boot in Linux. It’s causing problems this month. It impacts many millions of people.

Freedom is a path towards happiness

t is our special day today and at 4AM I gave my card. Despite people trying to blackmail and intimidate us this year, it has been a productive year and we see those terrorisation tactics as signals of weakness, of utter defeat.

Tomorrow it is Software Freedom Day 2026 [1, 2] and we have some plans for that. Freedom is not measured in money (which some conflate with safety or certainty), freedom is a more intricate concept. People who have freedom know and feel what it means.

Last night we visited the stadium and fed birds. It cost less than a pound but was very rewarding and without time constraints.

As I like to put it, why wait until retirement to do the things many people “wait until retirement” to do?

Way to start a special day

nother win for Enzo some hours ago, a perfect winning streak so far this season, and new talent found in the process. Quoting BBC: <>em>”Samba was prolific in City’s under-18 side last season and those impressive performances led to him being promoted to the first-team set-up by new manager Enzo Maresca this summer.” (Video of highlights)

Sunderland is next.

I woke up around midnight to try to publish a lot before we leave the home.

Good day, not great weather though

‘ve just returned from the park and stadium (which we went past twice ahead of Enzo’s first cup match for this club). They play music there and the staff outnumbers the spectators at these early hours.

Despite unpredictable weather we went to feed the flock of 70+ birds and it was fantastic. There were some sunny spells too and the ducks joined in.

Tonight we eat popcorn with cheese and tomorrow we have an exceptional schedule, including card exchange.

I am still eagerly awaiting the birthday of GNU. GNU/Linux is going mainstream this year.
