THIS IS IMPORTANT!

We need people to call their MEPs. Most importantly:
- Romanian S&D:
http://www.europarl.europa.eu/meps/en/search.html?country=RO&politicalGroup=4280
- Romanian EPP:
http://www.europarl.europa.eu/meps/en/search.html?country=RO&politicalGroup=4269
- British S&D:
http://www.europarl.europa.eu/meps/en/search.html?country=GB&politicalGroup=4280
- British ECR:
http://www.europarl.europa.eu/meps/en/search.html?country=GB&politicalGroup=4271
- Italian S&D:
http://www.europarl.europa.eu/meps/en/search.html?country=IT&politicalGroup=4280
- Polish EPP:
http://www.europarl.europa.eu/meps/en/search.html?country=PL&politicalGroup=4269

Please report back (in a private message, preferably) what they say! This would help us a LOT!

#Art11 #Art13 #SaveYourInternet

I'm in Strasbourg, lobbying hard. Updates soon, but was able to talk to Axel Voss, the main guy behind the current (bad) versions of #Art11 and #Art13. Doing my best to #SaveYourInternet.

Lessons from today:
- Pro-Art11/Art13 MEPs do not know how copyright law works (no surprises there, the copyright law is a mess!)
- Wikimedia Commons is a very good example of a service that could suffer very much.
- As during #ACTA, MEPs are not entirely against sitting down and discussing the issues.

#BSDCan (Pledge in #OpenBSD): Unveil is a new thing, tangentially related to Pledge. It limits filesystem access.

unveil(const char *path, const char *flags);

Access to path that is not unveiled returns ENOENT.

Flags: "rwxc"

Access to an unveiled path disallowed by flags returns EACCESS.

On the OpenSSL command (openssl(1)):

"You've heard of swiss army knives? This is the swiss army toilet."

I love the hypocrisy of Microzon Facegoopple and their ilk regarding #GDPR and similar regulations.

Corp: Selling user data is ok and users are perfectly fine with it, because they get their personalized ads. Precious precious personalized ads.

EU: Ok, then show them this information clearly and ask them for consent explicitly.

Corp: OH NOES THAT WILL TURN USERS AWAY!!1!

EU: Wait, I thought users wanted it? You wouldn't be lying about that, would you, eh?

Bahahah the code is from PF 😂

It looks like they've replaced PF with KX, maybe so no one would notice
