So what is with all of this amateurish phishing spam that has been sliding right past SpamAssassin like shit through a goose for the past few months? Has someone recently discovered a new technique for finding open relays that will SPF-sign anything?

I can't even tell who has been popped here. "clevervistakb.com" and "vividdreamqb.name" have the same IPs but different registrars (maybe that's a TLD thing?) It's also not clear to me which of those domains sender_access matches on.

I have, however, come to the conclusion that that there are simply too many web sites.

Oh wow, this is a trippy game inspired by MC Escher. My brain may be permanently broken by this.

A short analysis of what makes Mark Antony’s “Friends, Romans, countrymen…” speech from Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar so good and effective.

France says it plans to move some government computers from Windows to Linux as part of a broader push for digital sovereignty and reduced dependence on U.S. technology. TechCrunch reports: In a statement, French minister David Amiel said (translated) that the effort was to "regain control of our digital destiny" by relying less on U.S. tech companies. Amiel said that the French government can no longer accept that it doesn't have control over its data and digital infrastructure. The French government did not provide a specific timeline for the switchover, or which distributions it was considering. Microsoft did not immediately comment on the news.

[...] France's decision to ditch Windows comes months after the government announced it would stop using Microsoft Teams for video conferencing in favor of French-made Visio, a tool based on the open source end-to-end encrypted video meeting tool Jitsi. The French government said it also plans to migrate its health data platform to a new trusted platform by the end of the year.

Nieuws over de 24-jarige Syriër Najem al K., die naar dit mooie land vluchtte voor oorlog en geweld. Hij is veroordeeld voor de verkrachting van twee vrouwen, alsook voor stalking en dwang. De relaties met de vrouwen begonnen hartstikke lief maar hij veranderde al snel in een manipulatieve etter. De vrouwen maakten het uit maar dat strookte niet zo met zijn toekomst- en wereldbeeld. Hij dwong af dat de vrouwen hem opzochten in de AZC's waar hij verbleef in Wassenaar en Leersum, hij dreigde bij een van de vrouwen 'foto's zonder hoofddoek naar haar familie te sturen'. Na de verkrachting zei hij: 'Luister, ik heb jouw maagdheid genomen en misschien heb ik mijn kind in jou zitten. Mijn kind en jij gaan nergens heen en jij gaat bij mij blijven'. Bij de andere vrouw dreigde hij met het rondsturen van een geknutselde naaktfoto. Volgens de rechter was het doel van de verkrachtingen het afdwingen van een huwelijk, want zo werkt dat dus. De OvJ eiste 8 jaar cel, maar dat worden er slechts 5 plus het betalen van schadevergoedingen wegens zijn borderlinestoornis en een verstandelijke beperking. Gelukkig is het na die 5 jaar oprotten geblazen. Of nee. De asielprocedure is gedurende de straf bevroren. 'Pas tegen het einde van zijn gevangenisstraf wordt bekeken of hij in Nederland mag blijven en of het toezicht kan worden uitgevoerd.' Gaat. Lekker.
