It’s such an all time classic from 2006 that people even kept scans of the original 2006 Computer World publication by [WayBack] John Klossner.
Over the last few years, it has done its round over the internet a few times, so I did some digging for the scans, colour and mono originals.
Data security versus Human Error.
In this corner, we have firewalls, encryption, antivirus software, etc. And in this corner, we have Dave!!
[WayBack] John Klossner Cartoons: Computer World has the original black and white version: it’s even a gif!
Way better than the scan from paper: [WayBack] ShackF00 » Weekend Round-up: Google Issues and a Sad-but-True Comic
In 2014, Spiceworks re-ran the black and white one: [WayBack] And in THIS corner we have Dave! (Funny cartoon) – IT Security – Spiceworks
In 2015, Wombat Security published a coloured version on social media, and even bigger too: not just large, huge as well (:

Some notes on Google Nest before getting it to control a Remeha Avanta 35c modulating heater
Posted by jpluimers on 2017/06/30
For my own reference:
- It looks like the Nest needs to communicate wirelessly with the Heatlink in order to support OpenTherm. I can’t find what frequency or protocol the Nest/Heatlink connection uses.

But lots of people still report overshoots in temperatures. - Nest Learning Thermostat V3 – Prijzen – Tweakers
- Wat is de Heat Link?
- Hoe communiceren de Heat Link en de Nest Thermostat met elkaar?
- Nest Introduces Nest Weave, Creating Most Comprehensive Developer Platform for the Home | Nest
- Nest devices interconnect with each other using a protocol called Weave, which is based on IEEE 802.15.4 and Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n.[30] which seems to indicate it operates mostly on 2.4Ghz (which is distorted when neighbours use their Microwave to heat food).

David Hill – of ThinkPad design fame – is going beyond “Black Paint” – via: Rewiring | Lenovo
Posted by jpluimers on 2017/06/29
David Hill – of ThinkPad design fame – is going beyond “Black Paint”. It means he will be far less involved with [WayBack] ThinkPad: Industrial design, more with other design and – very important – his loved ones.
Today I’m announcing my “rewiring”. I want to broaden my view and create the opportunity to do more in the field of design.

OpenSuSE Tumbleweed: When apache breaks with “Invalid argument: AH00069: make_sock: for address [::]:443”
Posted by jpluimers on 2017/06/28
I had this strange break down of Apache 2 after updating to the most recent openSuSE Tumbleweed in the /var/log/apache2/error_log:
[Wed Jun 28 10:04:19.955991 2017] [ssl:info] [pid 27786] AH01887: Init: Initializing (virtual) servers for SSL [Wed Jun 28 10:04:19.962449 2017] [ssl:info] [pid 27786] AH01876: mod_ssl/2.4.26 compiled against Server: Apache/2.4.26, Library: OpenSSL/1.0.2k AH00558: httpd-prefork: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.0.1. Set the 'ServerName' directive globally to suppress this message [Wed Jun 28 10:04:20.029863 2017] [core:crit] [pid 27786] (22)Invalid argument: AH00069: make_sock: for address [::]:443, apr_socket_opt_set: (IPV6_V6ONLY) (98)Address already in use: AH00072: make_sock: could not bind to address [::]:443 (98)Address already in use: AH00072: make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:443 [Wed Jun 28 10:04:20.029935 2017] [mpm_prefork:alert] [pid 27786] no listening sockets available, shutting down
This didn’t give any results for processes having port 443 open:
# /usr/bin/netstat --verbose --all --numeric | grep 443
The commands below didn’t help much either.
So I started digging in port 443 binding:

The Cryptowars, twenty years ago – The Isoblog.
Posted by jpluimers on 2017/06/27
Interesting read with lots of references: [WayBack] The Cryptowars, twenty years ago – The Isoblog.
My TL;DR:
- the current cryptowar is very similar to 20 years ago
- back then it was won by the people
- current outcome is unclear (but the rules of math cannot be changed)
- Laws/Rules/Postulates:
- John Gilmore
- »The Net interprets censorship as damage and routes around it.«
- Shoshana Zuboff
- »Everything that can be automated will be automated.«
- »Everything that can be informated will be informated.«
- »Every digital application that can be used for surveillance and control will be used for surveillance and control.«
- John Gilmore
- Kristian:
- »20 years later, the Cryptowar is still a thing. It will never be over.«
–jeroen
via: [WayBack] So as a society, we are having the same conversation for 20 years now, and we won’t really make progress here because of Zuboff’s law. – Kristian Köhntopp – Google+
