In and around 2023, Roy and Rianne Schestowitz were subject to a horrific campaign of online harassment. Unfortunately they blamed me for it, and in turn wrote and published an astonishing array of articles making false accusations against me. Last year, I sued them in the high court in London. In turn, they countersued me for harassment. The case was heard last month and I'm pleased to say that the counterclaim was dismissed and I prevailed in my case. The court awarded me £70,000 in damages.

@mjg59 took on Techrights and won 🎉

The judgement makes for interesting reading - you'll want some popcorn.

Russia continues to kill Ukrainian civilians with cruise missiles, which they build with EU and US made electronics.

Today, they killed 25 people in Ternopil, including 3 children.

F*ck everything about this.

Karina Bakhur, a talented 17-year-old Ukrainian kickboxing champion, was killed today by shrapnel from a Russian "Iskander" ballistic missile that hit her hometown while she was running for shelter. Christopher Eppinger is a German trader who made $2 billion reselling sanctioned Russian oil. “I’m not ashamed of anything that I’ve been doing,” he told Tom Wilson of the Financial Times.

GitHub is not your friend. They're also not on your side.

How big is lore.kernel.org? I counted 17,154,017 unique message-ids.

I think that's roughly how many emails @gregkh replies to every day.

So, "Operation Southern Spear" -- is that the thing with Clinton, or am I just thoroughly confused about the news coming out of the US?

Ah, the joys of self-hosting mail these days. You take pains to set everything up meticulously -- SPF, DKIM, DMARC, ARC... and then your server gets immediately blocklisted just because it's "newly observed IP."

Abusix, what a shitshow.

Ooh yeah that'll getcha

Today is also the 10 year anniversary of the Linux Kernel Self-Protection Project. https://kspp.github.io/
I'm proud that we've gotten A LOT done in the last decade to harden Linux against security flaws.

I posted this before, but here's a review of the last ten years:

I released korgalore 0.1 -- the tool to put lore mailing lists directly into your gmail inbox using gmail's api.

Announcement: https://lore.kernel.org/tools/20251105-mottled-bizarre-marmoset-b055ae@lemur/T/#u

Docs: https://korgalore.docs.kernel.org/

I started a new helper tool to shove lore lists directly into gmail using the gmail API.

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/utils/korgalore/korgalore.git/about/

It's bare minimal on the features right now -- I'll let it run in a screen session and see what bugs I catch.

I am yet again flabbergasted how mind-blowingly difficult it is to upload a message to your own gmail account using Google's Gmail API.

I shouldn't have to create a developer account just to do this.

There's burnout, and then there's "any improvement to technology that I help create will likely just make fascism more effective."

Elon Musk is having a very bad week.

The man who bought Twitter for $44 billion to secure unaccountable power over public discourse
is discovering what unaccountable power actually looks like when wielded by someone who understands dominance even better than he does.

Trump just stripped SpaceX of a government contract and handed it to Jeff Bezos.

Musk’s response?
Rage-tweeting at Trump officials, including the immortal question
“why are you gay”
—the rhetorical sophistication we’ve come to expect from the richest man-child on the planet having a public meltdown
