[Dewayne-Net] Bush orders clampdown on flights to US

Bush orders clampdown on flights to US EU officials furious as Washington says it wants extra data on all air passengers * Ian Traynor in Brussels * The Guardian, * Monday February 11 2008 This article appeared in the Guardian on Monday February 11 2008 on p1 of the Top stories section. It was last updated at 03:11 on February 11 2008. <http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2008/feb/11/usa.theairlineindustry/print > The US administration is pressing the 27 governments of the European Union to sign up for a range of new security measures for transatlantic travel, including allowing armed guards on all flights from Europe to America by US airlines. The demand to put armed air marshals on to the flights is part of a travel clampdown by the Bush administration that officials in Brussels described as "blackmail" and "troublesome", and could see west Europeans and Britons required to have US visas if their governments balk at Washington's requirements. According to a US document being circulated for signature in European capitals, EU states would also need to supply personal data on all air passengers overflying but not landing in the US in order to gain or retain visa-free travel to America, senior EU officials said. And within months the US department of homeland security is to impose a new permit system for Europeans flying to the US, compelling all travellers to apply online for permission to enter the country before booking or buying a ticket, a procedure that will take several days. The data from the US's new electronic transport authorisation system is to be combined with extensive personal passenger details already being provided by EU countries to the US for the "profiling" of potential terrorists and assessment of other security risks. Washington is also asking European airlines to provide personal data on non-travellers - for example family members - who are allowed beyond departure barriers to help elderly, young or ill passengers to board aircraft flying to America, a demand the airlines reject as "absurd". Seven demands tabled by Washington are contained in a 10-page "memorandum of understanding" (MOU) that the US authorities are negotiating or planning to negotiate with all EU governments, according to ministers and diplomats from EU member states and senior officials in Brussels. The Americans have launched their security drive with some of the 12 mainly east European EU countries whose citizens still need visas to enter the US.

Swedish Police to censorware "Pirate Bay" as child porn site?
by Seth Finkelstein 06 Jul '18

06 Jul '18

[Can any IP'ers who read Swedish check out the comments in the post thread, and indicate whether their story is credible or not? The abuse of ISP censorware blacklists for "mission creep" is an obvious slippery slope. But anything coming from a site which calls itself "Pirate Bay" needs to be treated with some skepticism. One might cynically conjecture about a tactic of releasing an alert on Friday afternoon, knowing officials won't be around to deny it until Monday morning, and by that time the Pirate Bay version will be echoing all over the Net] http://www.piratpartiet.se/nyheter/press_release_swedish_police_shuts_down_… "PRESS RELEASE: Swedish Police Shuts Down Pirate Bay - Again" Inskrivet av Nyhetsgruppen 6 juli, 2007 This Friday, it became known that the Swedish Police Board will shut down The Pirate Bay, the popular file sharing site, by classifying it as a child pornography site in the blocklist that Swedish Internet Providers respect.

[tahoe-dev] General questions about TAHOE-LAFS, local filesystems and P2P.
by Martin Baldan 06 Jul '18

06 Jul '18

Hello, I'm basically just a curious potential end user of this awesome technology. I've read a couple of posts that got me thinking: [Freedombox-discuss] Tahoe-LAFS is not a filesystem http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/freedombox-discuss/2011-November/0… [tahoe-dev] "BitTorrent for storage" is a bad idea -- [p2p-hackers] P2P file storage systems https://tahoe-lafs.org/pipermail/tahoe-dev/2011-February/006150.html This is a little example of what I think a nice user experience could be like, realistically (ie, assuming files and applications as currently understood are still relevant): I create a document, let's say a LibreOffice presentation. I save it. I modify it and save it again. I right-click on it (or similar procedure) and I can see that a copy is stored locally, another copy is stored in an online server I pay for (fully encrypted), and a third copy is stored in my laptop (or smartphone). They are all synced, unobstrusively (I don't experience any latency, syncing just works in the background). Now, let's say I want to share this document with a friend. I open a menu on the file (right click or whatever), select "share", select friend (like in Google docs). Now he will have a notification that I shared a document with him. My friend right-clicks on this document and he selects "follow this document". Now If I delete my document later, my friend will still be able to see all the snapshots up to the time I deleted it. My friend likes the document, so he recommends that I publish it. So I simply share it with a some popular swarm of peers. My question is, where does Tahoe fit in this picture, if at all? I mean, what would be the best way to merge local storage, single-user distributed storage, F2F (like Tahoe seems to be) and full-scale P2P, at the lowest level possible and in a transparent, but configurable, way? Since Tahoe is not intended to fill all those roles, how could it be combined with other services in order to produce a seamless user experience? Should Tahoe be the manager and delegate to other filesystems, should it be the other way around, should they coexist and be managed by some upper layer? And how does Tahoe relate right now with other projects such as XtreemFS (very similar to Tahoe) , Camlistore (more emphasis on metadata, less on duplication logistics), OneSwarm (privacy-preserving P2P), Tribler (a trackerless Bittorrent), to name a few? I would say XtreemFS is a direct competitor (but there could also be cooperation). As for the others, maybe they could be somehow combined with Tahoe to build an awesome user experience. What do you think? Best, -Martin _______________________________________________ tahoe-dev mailing list tahoe-dev(a)tahoe-lafs.org http://tahoe-lafs.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tahoe-dev ----- End forwarded message ----- -- Eugen* Leitl <a href="http://leitl.org">leitl</a> http://leitl.org ______________________________________________________________ ICBM: 48.07100, 11.36820 http://www.ativel.com http://postbiota.org 8B29F6BE: 099D 78BA 2FD3 B014 B08A 7779 75B0 2443 8B29 F6BE
