It's not always the same thing

This is the best advice I can give you right now.

When you are feeling miserable,
learn to recognize what could cheer you up.

Sometimes it's getting drunk or getting high.
Sometimes it's fucking.
Sometimes it's exercising.
Sometimes it's buying something, or eating something nice.
Sometimes it's reading a book, listening a song, dancing a little.
Sometimes it's literally just taking a shit.
Sometimes it's being with friends, other times it's being alone.

What's most important to know is this,
or you can wreck your life pretty badly:
it's not always the same thing.

Government-in-the-Middle

In cybersecurity, the most important attack model of our times is government-in-the-middle, a variant of man-in-the-middle in which the spies of governments wants to mediate all of your communications.

Example: Kazakhastan's certificate.

Six crazy weeks

The last 6 weeks have been crazy. We spent 2 weeks in Netherlands, touring by bicycle doing 300 km in total, visiting old and new friends and experiencing fantastic 3 days of electronic music. Then, 2 weeks in Doha, in a series of increasingly liver-harmful farewell parties plus a lot of packing! Then 1 week in Rome including moving to a new house with the 3 cats, clearing through customs and bringing home 280 kg of our stuff. Finally 1 week in Greece, for a summer school and for our first trip to a country we already love.

I don't complain, I mean we're so lucky, but damn it has been crazy. Now tomorrow will be my first day at a new job, let's see what it brings ;-)

Representing users

Why are telecommunication companies invited to parliamentary meetings or committees as "representatives" of Internet users?

Telecommunications companies represent the interests of Internet users as much as bullfighters represent the interests of bulls.

Moral standards

If you really want to be a good person, adhering to the moral standards of your time is utterly insufficient.
