First internet router in space
NASA is launching its first internet
router to be placed in earth orbit.
Thus internet network routing is not anymore limited to undersea
fiber optic cables, direct copper links or low range wireless
communication.
On the other side, this way it is no longer possible for “friendly”
states to eavesdrop communication on ground based
wires/fibers.
Fibertapping is already as easy and unnoticeable as traditional
wiretapping. Ultra broadband uplink interception, is something
completely
different.
The next stage will probably be routing from satellite to
satellite, and once this is done, USA is the only party having
complete control over global internet communication.
Ah, I forgot to mention chinas newest ability to destroy satellites
within 30 minutes by ballistic missiles if needed.
Lets call that, stalematt.

GPG Expired Keys Cleanup – Howto
A lot of people leave their “expired”
public keys on the public key servers forever.
They even keep expired secret keys in their keys, or worst, they
delete expired secret keys from their keyring before revoking
according public keys and publishing this revokation to th key
servers.So did I….

…so, the correct way to take care of your keys is:
List your secret keys:

gpg –list-secret-keys

As one can see, I have to keys, taht are already expired, and that
I have already created a follow-up key for.
As long as I do not revoke the expired public key, others can still
encrypt mails to me ignoring the expired key,
and I (or someone who has stolen my old secret key) will be able to
still decrypt an expired key encrypted mail.
Usually you should create a revocation certificate for a newly
generated key, to be able to revoke it later, in case it was
stolen, or just expired.
In my case, I will create a revocation certificate now, to revoke
my key from the keyservers.
kobaans-computer:~ kobaan$

Please select the reason for the revocation:
0 = No reason specified
1 = Key has been compromised
2 = Key is superseded
3 = Key is no longer used

Revocation certificate created.
Please move it to a medium which you can hide away; if Mallory

access to this certificate he can use it to make your key
unusable.
It is smart to print this certificate and store it away, just in

others!

Sam Triggy – A Real Triple GuitarHero
Just wanted to share one of my latest
discoveries on youtube.Sam Triggy from
Malaysia, doesn’t play guitar…
…he does not play two guitars…
…no, he plays three guitars, at the same time.
discoveries on youtube.Sam Triggy from
Malaysia, doesn’t play guitar…
…he does not play two guitars…
…no, he plays three guitars, at the same time.
Man, he’s a real pro. Enjoy Take 5 and Autumn Leaves performed by
Sam Triggy alone,
with his 3 e-guitars.
And one more video to give you an impression of his ability to play
different style music too.
This one is inspired by Jimi Hendrix:
Feel free to search on youtube for more different styles,
instruments and concertvideos of Sam Triggy.
