3 Spams for the price of 1

After another long day of building up a platform to create providers for encrypted mail (entre autres) it was time to abuse some substances to quieten parts of my brain, the news junkie part. Consume with me, in today's news, read elsewhere: Riseup, Lavabit, Calyx and Google. Democracy Now did a longer interview with both Ladar Levison from Lavabit and Nick from Calyx.

The next hacker camp: put your money where your mouth is

Now that OHM2013 is over, even the tear-down, which sadly required a last-minute scrambling of volunteers, it is time to start thinking about future events. First of all a few myths about OHM2013 and its sponsors should be disspelled. There was no such thing as "the main sponsor".

Ubica evicted :(

Submitted by groente on Tue, 05/28/2013 - 13:33

Fridaynight Ubica, the squat that has kindly given a physical space to PUSCII, got evicted. With the eviction, an end has come to one of the last autonomous spaces in Utrecht. When it was squatted in 1992, the building had suffered from a fire that had ravaged most of the inside. With a lot of hard work and investment, the squatters have managed to renovate the building in a DIY spirit. During its 21 year squatted existence, Ubica became not only a home to many people, it has also offered space to a wide variety of social and political activities.

Last week while visting Re:Publica 2013 in Berlin I had the opportunity to discuss the controversy brought to the surface by Groente's blog titled “What's wrong with the kids today?” with several people outside the Dutch hacker scene. A few things struck me. First and foremost, there is a massive underappreciation of the vastly differing contexts in which everyone involved in the debate operates.

PUSCII Open Hackerspace Day

Submitted by admin on Tue, 04/02/2013 - 13:04

PUSCII was open during the Open Hackerspace Day on Saturday, March 30th. On the program we had our hardware-freeshop, a Tails workshop and a discussion on the politics of hackerspaces. In total we had about 35 visitors during the day, of which about 15 attended the Tails workshop. During the day USB bootsticks were distributed, people were introduced to the concepts and hazards of SSL, TOR and GPG and bugs were found and filed, while in the meantime Emacs has been ported to MorphOS.

What's wrong with the kids these days?

On the moral decay of the Dutch hacker scene A lot has changed since the days when the people around Hacktic set up and defined the Dutch hacker scene. The Hang Out made way for a variety of hackerspaces; Hacktic itself is long dead (who needs dead trees to communicate nowadays anyway?) and the crew organizing OHM2013 is a completely different one from the oldies that had set up the Galactic Hacker Party and HIP. In short, we're looking at a complete new generation of Dutch hackers.

De vrije internetwerkplaats PUSCII zal voor een weekend lang de deuren weer openen op haar oude stek in Utrecht, in de UBICA panden in Utrecht. Net zoals tien jaar geleden is de ruimte publiek toegankelijk voor iedereen die geinteresseerd is in vrije software, hergebruik van afgedankte techniek, zelfbouw van computers en randapparatuur en de strijd voor een open en vrije samenleving zonder censuur en overheidsbemoeienis.

Opsporing misplaatst

Submitted by merel on Mon, 10/29/2012 - 11:36

Op 16 oktober is de conceptbrief ter vernieuwing van online opsporingsbevoegdheden gelekt. De minister wil het mogelijk maken om rechtstreeks vanuit iemands mobiele apparatuur (laptop, smartphone, tablet etc.) alle inhoud van verbonden clouddiensten te doorzoeken, te kopiëren en eventueel ontoegankelijk te maken. Dit is op zich goed voor te stellen want tegenwoordig ligt correspondentie niet meer in het dressoir en de agenda niet meer op tafel.
