Snitch Nation You're listening to us You're listen to us right now So we'll tell you right now We don't got no keys up in this house Put the guns down We're not building bombs in the basement To the NSA, say "Turn them fucking cameras on yourself." Mark of the beast in my pocket It's an invasion They built the cages They own the block They digitized the block And gave us bigger cages 3-D printed humans With sudo expressions Call it freedom Pale mothafuckaz In data collection centers Who can't tell if I'm kidding When I say I'm a overthrow the Government Put ice cream machines in place of ATMs And empty all the prisons They made us into spies Snitching on ourselves For the eater of time The co-opter of our souls We throw death threats at a dead world I've got everything to hide from folks like you Why you wanna watch me naked Screaming "Fuck the police" in my living room How you gonna stop me >From pissing on every electric fence You're invisible armies couldn't even find sand on a fucking beach ------- Line us up Shoot us all Family portraits taken from a satellite abroad So smile and wink up at the cameras For the snitches in the sky Google mapping all our bloody insides Microchip in my passport Got my WEP encrypted password So it still feels like I'm in a prison And a pig is searching in my asshole Freedom is a concept we will never know Every time I breath, every time I sleep I've seen the devil's face Drawn in ASCII patterns Plastered across the heavens Are binary masters On the planet God knows every path we're on Dammit omnipotent digital deities Listening to every word that we're speaking So every time that I scream "Fuck You" On a track there is a transcript on a computer in real-time Fuck you Better put a bullet in my head for me to trust you I'm an ant on a hill dodging magnifying glass reflections Still it's Fuck You ------- What you think We got all these eyes for All I see is secret agents Marching up and down my spine Trying to copywrite my DNA While I learn to walk We don't talk much any more Talk is dead, like privacy Toxic oceans are coming To swallow every city And when I'm gone I leave it all To the cockroaches But I can't forget the drones Can't forget the drones No I can't forget the drones Can't forget the drones No I can't forget the drones Can't forget the drones No I can't forget the drones Can't forget the drones No I can't forget the drones Can't forget the drones No I can't forget the drones Can't forget the drones -- Sole & Ceschi

[OT] [song] Seasons of Love + Samba da Benção
by Cecilia Tanaka 02 Jan '17

02 Jan '17

Wish you all a happy 2017 and a lovely life! Lots and lots of happy new years, full of love, good life projects and happy endings... <3 I know some people here will think "Seasons Of Love" is 'cheesy' or it sucks, but this is one of my favorite songs and I think it has a good message about measuring the years of our lives. Live long and prosper. And sincerely try to be happy. I am not asking to ignore all the fuckups in the whole world, it's impossible, but to manage them and their effects in the best possible way, trying to live well, with serenity, with less hate, anger, bad feelings in your heart... :) There is a lovely Brazilian song, a beautiful musical poem named 'Samba da Benção' ('Blessing Samba' or 'Blessed Samba? I don't know the best translation in this case, sorry!) which begins with the verses "É melhor ser alegre que ser triste / Alegria é a melhor coisa que existe / É assim como a luz no coração" ("It's better to be happy than to be sad / Happiness is the best thing that exists / It's like a light in the heart"). It's true! :) https://youtu.be/BH4hKPlcDkE https://lyricalbrazil.com/2011/12/16/samba-da-bencao/ (Lyrics in English, it isn't a "wow, the best translation in the whole world!", but it's better than my translation, obviously, haha!! ;) This version by Vinicius de Moraes is pretty sweet. I love Vinicius. As he says in the poem, he was "the blackest white man in the Brazil" and talks about happyness, sadness, love, "saudade", and pay tribute to the African Gods and the black origins of samba, one of most famous Brazilian musical styles. Happy New Year!!! :D Ceci ===== Seasons Of Love - 'Rent' movie https://youtu.be/UvyHuse6buY Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes Five hundred twenty-five thousand moments so dear Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes How do you measure, measure a year? In daylights, in sunsets In midnights, in cups of coffee In inches, in miles In laughter, in strife In five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes How do you measure a year in the life How about love? How about love? How about love? Measure in love Seasons of love Seasons of love Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes Five hundred twenty-five thousand Journeys to plan Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes How do you measure the life Of a woman or a man? In truths that she learned Or in times that he cried In bridges he burned Or the way that she died It's time now to sing out Tho' the story never ends Let's celebrate Remember a year in the life of friends Remember the love Remember the love Remember the love Measure in love Measure, measure your life in love Seasons of love Seasons of love

Is this something that could > be implemented effectively with the dreaded web of trust? Yes. It has been repeatedly brought up among tor that relay operators, being globally spread and relatively physically mobile for the purpose of keysigning, can cross sign their node keys with gpg keys, have their gpg keys signed in person under proof of relay ownership as usual, dump the fingerprints into the consensus and sks, then build relay selection algorithms that download and verify the wot into user run tools that then build their circuits in the controller. Users can elect to use variant levels of trust present in the wot, anon / nym / context signing, ID signing, photo signing, multisig assertions, etc. Beyond just the wot, all sorts of other external metrics, even subscriptions to third party metrics services, could be applied to such a relay selection process. 7000 relays, even at low 10% shill and 1:1 would require 700 unique persons of the adversary that pass the smell test of other operators and principals, that has real costs. Or your allies just supply the number of validated nodes needed to prevent network saturation and users simply decline to route anything but CNN and gerbil pr0n through the 700 unvalidated nodes. Pretty simple really, needs nothing more than one structured comment field in the consensus and some external tools, but nobody has rolled it out or even developed concept further yet.

Fwd: <nettime> confessions without relief
by Cecilia Tanaka 31 Dec '16

31 Dec '16

Wow, s ynchronicity works! Received this message just right now and didn't watch the talk yet, but it seems pretty provocative! :D Wish you all good masturbation and/or sex and millions of orgasms! <3 - c. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Morlock Elloi <morlockelloi(a)gmail.com> Date: Fri, Dec 30, 2016 at 7:27 PM Subject: <nettime> confessions without relief To: nettime-l(a)kein.org An interesting talk today at 33c3 by Charleyne Biondi- parallels between the modern day surveillance and 18th century crusades against masturbation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P-Ae0qscmDk >From the intro: The High Priests of the Digital Age The High Priests of the Digital Age Are Working Behind Your Back to Make You Confess, and Repent. Just as 18th century priests enforced total surveillance measures on masturbators, the new priests of the digital age are listening to your confessions and forcing you into puritanical repentance. Who doesn’t have a relative, a friend, a colleague, who broke up because of an iMessage showing up on the wrong device, fooled by the iCloud, by a suspicious Facebook like, or a Pokemon caught in the wrong neighborhood? I want to make the claim that a new system of surveillance, organized by the new priests of our digital age, are slyly acting behind our back to make us conform to a new form of puritan morality. At the beginning of the 18th century, masturbation suddenly became a topic of intense reflection. In the Enlightenment Encyclopedia it is described as the new disease of a wounded conscience and a heinous sin. Surprisingly, the Christian Church was not responsible. It had, until then, never regarded masturbation as anything other than a marginal problem for adult men (and especially monks). The people responsible for making masturbation a sin were economists, who worried about the consequences of masturbation for productivity in an economy that depended on the endless desire for more. The condemnation of masturbation spread, and in no time, doctors were making scientific claims to prove the dangers of masturbation, while priests made it their new obsession. In the confessional, the sinners had to avow everything, not only their reprehensible actions, but their reprehensible dreams, the languorous images that crossed their consciousness, the birth of desire in their troubled mind. The priests demanded to know it all, the most inner thoughts of the masturbators. The sinner was meant to keep his own mind under surveillance. Today, we believe that we have overcome this obscure period. Masturbation is widely accepted as a healthy sexual practice. But most importantly, our liberal democracies strongly posit that public ethics should remain neutral regarding sexuality, and that each one of us is free to have the sexuality that we prefer, enjoy, and that no institution is authorized to morally judge us for our sexual activities. Yet, I want to make the claim that a new system of surveillance, organized by the new priests of our digital age, are slyly acting behind our back to make us conform to a new form of puritan morality. Just as the 18th century priests did in their Churches, the high priests of the digital age listen to our confessions, record them, and eventually make us repent. The economic interests of having us behave morally are numerous: the best customer is predictable, and who is more predictable than an obedient child, or a pious wife or husband? From the pithy history of masturbation to real life break-ups, I will demonstrate the dark connections between digital surveillance, neoliberal economics and morality. I am a researcher at Columbia University and Sciences Po Paris in political philosophy. I am an expert of the Snowden case and digital surveillance. This will be my first talk on masturbation. # distributed via <nettime>: no commercial use without permission # <nettime> is a moderated mailing list for net criticism, # collaborative text filtering and cultural politics of the nets # more info: http://mx.kein.org/mailman/listinfo/nettime-l # archive: http://www.nettime.org contact: nettime(a)kein.org # @nettime_bot tweets mail w/ sender unless #ANON is in Subject:
