omorrow there are some events here, not limited to a concert many young girls (now in their 40s or even 50s) have longed for. There is also a match in Birmingham around midday the following day. ManCity is still undefeated this season, no draws either. How long can this winning streak be sustained?

Aston Vila is ranked second in UEFA Champions League, so an away match in Birmingham will be a huge test for EnzoFC.

Meanwhile Manchester United (Man Utd) is in a state of crisis.

I feel bad for Manchester United.

They used to be so good.

HE fight against British racism and corruption (fought by Daniel Pocock in his capacity as a political candidate) is not over. He’s still pursuing a case in the United States, having lodged an appeal there.

In the UK, when lodging an appeal, the process can be slow and cumbersome. That’s partly by design.

oday it’ll be another cold, rainy day. That’s fine, we could use some more water and the fish are OK now (heated up water, just in time for winter).

I don’t suppose we’ll go to the park today (to feed the birds). With umbrella and coats it won’t be the same.

I guess it’s really winter already, except in Japan.

In the Techrights site we have progressed further with a long series that might interest Linux users. This series will last until next month, maybe even December.

he media is still not covering this. That says so much about the state of the media.

Daniel Pocock‘s attempt to compel Reform UK to pay for its self-serving PR charade (the media failed to cover this, a missed opportunity) may not be over. He can probably lodge an appeal.

It feels like we’re governed by a legal system that almost always benefits those who spend more money (or can spend more money).

In the case of Reform UK, the money was illegally acquired.

HE tracker has been back up for over a week and it shows that we have a steady community that after 18+ years is still online and still chatting in real time.

This has significantly lessened our dependence on E-mail. I probably send out an average of just 1-2 E-mails per day, closer to 1 than to 2.

IRC has always been relevant and it still is.

EY, yo! Mr. Green!

Well, Mr. Green or just “Green” is a new name for the green-eyed bird, which came here sick and damaged almost a month ago.

We’ve since then brought Mr. Green into a better but not yet optimal shape. Mr. Green is very thin, the legs seem a bit frail, and one eye is partly shut (it was probably injured by another bird and a green hue remains). Judging by feather and other factors, however, it made a miraculous recovery.

Mr. Green is not even remotely afraid of me. I have the opposite problem. Mr. Green wants to jump on my hands and stay there. If I push it away, Mr. Green will jump on the other hand. With a door open, Mr. Green will try to walk to my feet like a cat, even if I say “no” and push back.

Maybe it’s better to accept this is my pet and adopt it like a parrot, then wash up afterwards.

The joke that goes around is, Mr. Green reckons we saved his life.

Durian has a similar attachment, but it’s nowhere as intense.

oday, or very early in the morning, I published a somewhat chronological explanation regarding things that went on and have gone on for 15 years.

“One goal there is to associate UEFI and restricted boot with other crimes,” a community member told me, “via crazy matt [Garrett] among other connections.”

Some of these connections are full-time Microsoft staff. Some of the assisting actors are ‘former’ Microsoft staff that was arrested for strangling women and had done corrupt things. A further connection said illegal things and committed Hate Crimes against my wife and I (already registered with police for years). Two of them already got arrested.

“I’ll go as far as to say it is strategically (and politically) dangerous to keep omitting mention of Garrett’s connection to Restricted Boot,” the community member remarked. “The omission makes it look exclusively like a personal spat and that REALLY hurts TR and TM in the near term and might damage standing with the courts eventually.”

I disagreed on the basis that the Court needs to also be able to assess the character of the people, as it does not easily understand technical mechanisms such as UEFI.

It’s not outlandish to all (universally), but it would not draw the attention when dealing with lawyers.

The community member pointed to an article which said Garrett had “…many problems. Serious problems. Real problems.”

Yes, interpersonal also. His own spouse accuses him of very serious things and those things are in the UK’s National Archives. Garrett’s solicitors were required by the judge to type down what the spouse had said.

“Above and beyond having boosted code to afflict systems with Restricted Boot on behalf of Microsoft” would be the more accurate or important thing to note about Garrett, but some deaf ears it would fall on do not understand what that technically means and why it’s so important.

It’s a question of what audience it targets or a matter of tailoring one’s message based on one’s knowledge.

“If that “on behalf of” should be included or not,” I was told, “I cannot recall the details,” but they’re all in this together (the law firm as well; it doesn’t understand and never comments on anything technical).

I separately said that the threat the solicitors send my way have “…no actual legal grounds”.

It could be mentioned that the threats are “due to criticism over his helping Microsoft get let off the hook about Restricted Boot.”

But again, the judges would not relate to that aspect without me shifting focus to technical matters. The case is not about technical matters.

“By turning it / presenting it as a personal spat it allows s–tholes like social control media an easy out,” a reader remarked, adding that “social control media is a throwaway and not worth the effort but I remain firm on the above otherwise…”

When I write about these legal disputes I ensure that if read by judges they will get across the key message/s as comprehended by a person without a Computer Science background.

It’s never of any concern what a bunch of trolls say in social control media. What they say does not matter, they’re there to provoke and even make stuff up for “likes” and groupthink/affirmation.

O Foden will make the morning’s headlines (also two assists by Lewis) and this short video summary shows a solid win despite my worries (about benching great players).

I heard a couple of these goals (third and fourth for City) when night-jogging around the stadium.

ManCity will soon play Brighton and Hove Albion at home, twice in 3 days. Brighton has been in good form (many goals), so this won’t be easy.

oday, about an 80-meter distance (modest radius) from our doorstep, an entire home was cordoned off with police line (ribbons) and one police van or sedan. Both were there early in the morning and also around noontime.

We don’t know what happened and in my experience it’s impossible to know by checking the Web site of the police or even social control media ‘gossip’. All those things remain a mystery and are forgotten about a day later.

I wish we could more easily access information about crimes that happen around us. The Cost of Living crisis may have contributed to more violence; my gut feeling tells me someone got murdered in that home and they collect evidence such as fingerprints.

Crime-related transparency is something I wish was better everywhere. Sometimes you learn something by talking to a nosy neighbour.

HE latest (or next) Champions League match is just an hour away. The lineup is like Pep with his bizarre “Experiments” in “Lesser Important” matches. Enzo puts forth NOT his very best: Donnarumma, Lewis, Khusanov, Dias (C), Gvardiol, Anderson, Fernández, Allan, Cherki, Foden, Samba.

Left ‘benched’: Guéhi, Haaland, and Doku.

What sort of coach leaves Haaland on the bench for a Champions League match? Haaland scores almost half of City’s goals this season.

If City wins, the press will hail Enzo’s “courage”.

If City does not win, Enzo will have all the excuses in the world.
