Fuck congress. This is the full, unredacted Epstein List.

Provenance:
The PDF is a photocopy of Jeffrey Epstein's "Little Black Book", obtained with the help of a journalist in connection with an FBI sting investigation. The handwritten notes and circled names are made by Juan Alessi, who was Epstein's house manager from 1991 to 2002. He circled the names to show the FBI which people were known insiders in Epstein's child sex trafficking ring. Juan testified to this under oath during the trial of Ghislaine Maxwell, convicted of sex trafficking minors on Epstein's plane to his island.

Donald Trump's name appears on page 80 of the book (PDF page 85), and is circled.

@StartMail I've compiled and installed the OPQ (Open Post Quantum) encryption libraries, built openssl against them so these algorithms are available and built openssh against that on our shell server, ubuntu.eskimo.com.

Shell Accounts

Shell Accounts
A shell is a command line interface for an operating system. With most shell providers, a command line interface on one flavor of Linux or Unix is all you get. Eskimo North provides access to eight different popular Linux distributions and SunOS Unix. Eskimo North also full remote desktop capabilities using X2Go with sound, and also NX, VNC, and RPD without sound.

Account Types
We offer four different levels of shell accounts: Economy, Standard, Power, and Enterprise. Background tasks such as IRC bots, Game Servers, and the like are permitted on all account types except student. IRC servers are not permitted because of their tendency to draw denial of service attacks. Standard, Power, Enterprise, and Super-Max shells include a MySQL database allowing you to run a variety of LAMP stack based applications on your website and to use non-web based applications that require a database.

Web Hosting
Web hosting under our domain is provided with all shell accounts. You can host your own domains with virtual domains or web hosting packages.

Remote Desktop
Remote desktop capability is like having a monitor, keyboard, mouse, and speakers plugged right into our servers. Because our servers can be accessed anywhere in the world, this allows you to have a work environment you can access from anywhere in the world without risking losing your files to a laptop, tablet, or phone thief. We offer remote desktop capabilities on all of our shell servers except for the SunOS server. We support x2go, nx, vnc, and rdp protocols. X2go is the best choice as it provides extremely efficient compression and X round trip removal as well as sound.

Applications
Applications include Office Suites such as Libre Office and Caligra (which can read and write Microsoft Office file formats), Web and Program Development tools such as Bluefish Editor as well as many other editors, compilers, interpreters, scripting languages, debuggers, profilers, and online documentation.

E-mail
Our e-mail system offers unprecedented flexibility. You can access your mail via shell mail readers including graphical mailers like Thunderbird, or via Web mail, or via pop-3 and imap mail protocols, complete with TLS encryption. Our mail system includes Bayesian filtering with Spam Assassin which can be individually configured for your needs. Procmail allows you to sort and process mail automatically. Smartlist allows you to maintain mailing lists.

Security[color]
Access to all of our servers is available via strong encryption. The shell servers all support ssh access. All of the remote desktop protocols tunnel via ssh. We maintain all of our servers up to date keep with the latest patches. Backups are made weekly.

[color=darkblue]Eskimo North has been providing Unix timeshare services since 1985. We have been providing Linux timeshare, shell access, web hosting, e-mail, and Internet services since 1992. Please take a look at our services as they support our free Federated services including Friendica, Hubzilla, Mastodon, Nextcloud, Pixelfed, and Yacy Search.

Available Shell Servers

We have a variety of Linux Servers with a variety of Linux Distributions and Desktop Environments. Linux servers in use here are of three basic lines, those derived from RedHat, such as Fedora, Centos, and Scientific Linux, and those derived from Debian such as Debian, Ubuntu, and Mint. Ubuntu is the most current and feature rich. Then there is Manjaro, derived from Arch Linux. Arch is more often broken because it is a real “do it yourself” Linux, an excellent learning platform, a good development platform, not a good production platform.

All of these servers are available if you have a shell account here. You can use them to learn various versions, decide which to install, and as one place you can develop applications for all versions. We install a wide variety of development tools on all of our publicly available servers.

Our servers listen to port 443 in addition to the standard ssh port of 22 to provide a means to connect from behind a firewall that blocks non-web access. You can also utilize Guacamole on our website (login public, password public).

Alma.Eskimo.Com
This server is running Alma 8. Alma Linux replaces Scientific Linux after it’s discontinuation. Presently we are running Alma 8 because Alma 9 does not support NIS out of the box although there are ways of hacking it in. It is unfortunate that Redhat chose to piss on the infrastructure so many organizations depend upon. This is why we tend to favor Debian derived flavors. None the less as Redhat derived software goes Alma is pretty solid.
Anduinos.Eskimo.Com
Anduinos is a Debian derived distribution that defaults to a Gnome Desktop themed to look like Windows 10. At present though this Desktop is not working over network connections, instead Mate and Gnome are presently available. I am working on some others.
Debian.Eskimo.Com
Debian Bullseye has a rich assortment of software installed, including hundreds of Games, a huge variety of Office Productivity software, many Educational and Scientific applications, a variety of Integrated Development Environments, and many programming languages. All of the documentation available online these applications is also loaded.
Fedora.Eskimo.Com
Fedora Rawhide can be accessed graphically using x2go and the Mate desktop. It has the most applications of any of the Redhat derived servers. I install just about everything I can get to work on this machine so it has a huge variety of applications installed.
Kali.Eskimo.Com
Kali is a special purpose shell server designed for penetration testing. It is primarily here to test our own internal security, and as a result, egress is extremely limited, however upon request, proof of IP space ownership, and permission of the owner and agreement to hold us harmless because it is possible some of these tests may be destructive, we will allow outbound for testing of other sites.
Manjaro.Eskimo.Com
Manjaro is a good choice for a Linux user who wants to just install and go. There is a pleasant user interface and a good choice of software in the Manjaro repositories. It is a less technical Linux than Ubuntu, you can do most things through graphical interfaces and the default xfce interface is extremely light in terms of memory footprint. Like most modern distros, a variety of Windows systems are available and we have Gnome, Mate, KDE, Xfce, LXDE, and LXQT installed.
Mint.Eskimo.Com
Mint is another recent addition to our shell servers. It is running Mint, although we have the Mate Desktop installed for graphical access. This is necessary because Unity and other compositing Desktops are incompatible with x2go and really work very roughly with VNC. If you like games, this is a good server to use and there are many installed. Mint is a derivative of Ubuntu which in turn is derived from Debian and this server thus follows the structure and layout of Debian and Ubuntu.
MxLinux.Eskimo.Com
MxLinux is an excellent choice for a computer with limited resources. Before the overhead of a Desktop is considered, MxLinux uses 200MB less RAM out of the box than does Ubuntu. If you’re not a fan of Poettering and Systemd, you’ll like this OS as it still uses a System-V init with Systemd shims to allow packages requiring systemd to function. You can also run systemd and in fact I am doing so because it boots faster. The default Desktop is LXDE which is also small and efficient. But if you like eye candy you can install any Desktop you like and as with other servers I will install all that I can get to work on this OS.
PopOS.Eskimo.Com
popOS is a modern appearing OS based upon Ubuntu, and not just indirectly, it actually utilizes Ubuntu’s repositories in addition to it’s own. The Desktops presently available on it are Gnome and Mate, though Gnome is a special edition known as Sparkle, and it does not operate properly with X2go. Presently X2go and ssh are the only two access methods. I am working on the others.
Rocky8.Eskimo.Com
Rocky8 is a RedHat derived operating system very similar to Centos before Centos was absorbed, and ruined, by Redhat. While Centos support, with the exception of Centos9 is going away on June 30th, 2024, and CentOS9 is not usable because of the deletion of NIS by RedRat which is necessary to our organization, Rocky8 will be supported for security updates through May of 2029, thus provides us a means of continuing to offer a Redhat based environment for another five years.

Ubuntu.Eskimo.Com
Ubuntu can be accessed graphically using x2go and the Mate Desktop. The native Unity desktop is a compositing desktop which is incompatible with x2go. This machine is equipped with many applications including a huge number of games, a rich assortment of development tools and computer programming languages, a huge assortment of Office productivity software, many scientific, electronic, and educational tools.
Zorin.Eskimo.Com
Zorin is a Ubuntu derived operating system. It combines the eye candy of some other Ubuntu flavors such as Mint, with the security awareness and up to date nature of Ubuntu providing a really superb server environment. This machine is our best equipped server. It has the full Ubuntu Studio Suite, a very large assortment of development tools, language packs for all supported languages, many games, both Libre and Caligra Office Suites, and much more. X2go is supported on this machine.

Crontab access, batch, and background jobs are allowed on all of our servers. Most have unrestricted outbound access with the exception of kali owing to high abuse potential for tools that exist on it.'

We also offer web hosting, e-mail, and virtual private servers.

Tour de France : violente répression de la dénonciation du blanchiment des crimes d’Israël par le sport


Depuis le départ du Tour de France, le 5 juillet, les militantes et militants présents pacifiquement sur le parcours pour dénoncer la présence de l’équipe Israël Premier Tech dans la course et pour exprimer un soutien au peuple palestinien ont été victimes de violences policières inédites et particulièrement graves. À Lille, le 5 juillet, des citoyens et citoyennes, membres de l’Association France Palestine Solidarité, qui manifestaient pacifiquement ont été nassé·es, contrôlé·es et fouillé·es. Des drapeaux rangés dans des sacs ont été saisis par des policiers en armes … À Caen, le 9 juillet, d’autres membres de l’AFPS ont été gazés et jetés à terre. Une banderole a été lacérée de coups de couteaux et détruite, des drapeaux palestiniens ont été volés ainsi que des keffiehs tandis que d’autres objets personnels ont disparu. Des policiers qui se sont livrés à ces violences ont affirmé qu’ils avaient reçu la consigne qu’aucun drapeau ou marque de soutien à la Palestine ne soit visible sur le parcours du Tour de France. À Flers, le 10 juillet, une dizaine de militant-es se sont vu interpellés et là aussi des drapeaux palestiniens ont été confisqués au prétexte que « le port de signes religieux est interdit lors de compétitions sportives ».

Ainsi, la complicité du gouvernement avec les crimes d’Israël éclate au grand jour. Ce gouvernement qui utilise les forces de l’ordre pour faire taire tout soutien à la cause palestinienne tout en assurant la tranquillité des propagandistes d’Israël. Il a été en effet révélé que des escortes policières mobiles et huit agents des forces de l’ordre entourent chaque jour le périmètre autour de l’équipe israélienne, armes au poing.

Cette connivence dans la répression a permis à Sylvan Adams, le patron de cette équipe qui soutient ouvertement l’expulsion des Palestiniens de leurs terres de se féliciter de n’avoir vu aucun drapeau palestinien sur le Tour de France.

Alors que les massacres et les horreurs se poursuivent quotidiennement à Gaza et dans toute la Palestine, ces violences policières à l’encontre de celles et ceux qui dénoncent pacifiquement le génocide en cours sont injustifiables et inacceptables. Il est révoltant de constater que le gouvernement de la France vend impunément du matériel de guerre à un régime génocidaire et dans le même temps réprime les personnes qui en dénoncent les crimes.

L’AFPS dénonce avec la plus grande fermeté l’attitude du gouvernement français et de la police sous ses ordres. Elle assure les militantes et militants agressé·es aussi injustement de son plus chaleureux soutien.

L’AFPS tient également à affirmer sa détermination à poursuivre la dénonciation de la complicité de génocide du gouvernement français et des organisateurs du Tour de France par le blanchiment des crimes d’Israël à travers la présence de l’équipe Israël Premier Tech dans la course.

On ne nous fera pas taire !

A Customs and Border Protection (CBP) spokesman confirmed Tuesday that five Iranians were arrested while attempting to illegally cross the U.S. northern border with Canada.

"On July 1, Border Patrol Agents from the Champlain, New York Station, responded to suspicious activity near Mooers Forks, NY," CBP's Swanton Sector said on Facebook. "Agents located a minivan occupied by five citizens of Iran and two citizens of Uzbekistan."

Looking for an alternative to google wallet, when it’s the default option to download a German travel card.


I now reside in Germany and my current employer pays 50% of this so called Deutschland-Job-Ticket. There is no physical card but travel information you download to an android wallet, but apparently google wallet is the only available option. See the picture:

Google is a company I don’t trust with my data, neither do I expect your regular public transportation authority employee to care about his privacy (he looked at me as I was asking if 2 + 2 equal 4). I am not aware of non google based wallets where I can download the travel information.

I tried some f-droid and droidify options but it turns out they’re pure crap.

The site: abo.ride-ticketing.de/app/ I log in with my username and password, get my travel information and on the bottom the picture I uploaded.

Any workarounds?

This being Germany, shouldn’t there be an alternative to those who refuse google? Don’t I have that right as a consumer?

Another question: I screenshot my logged in session on the link I provided where you see my qr code and my billing data. The public transportation employee told me that’s not allowed (wtf?). Can anyone here provide a rationale?

As far as I remember, things other than credit/debit cards in Google Wallet are pretty much images that you can scan like you would a paper ticket. Maybe download that ticket somehow — if some other app provides the same android "activity" as Google Wallet (so it shows up in "Open WIth" menu when you clicj that button), you can use it to avoid Google completely. If it's hardcoded to use Google Wallet, make a separate account just for this ticket. Then just open the ticket in the app, take a screenshot, and use your favorite gallery app to scan it in at ticket gates.

I'm using fWallet for Eurostar, plane tickets, etc anything with PkPass. Very minimalist, just does the job.

Huh? ;)

It happens in both my main profile and my work profile, so it's probably not a configuration thing.

This piece by Trend Micro is amusing:

trendmicro.com/en_us/research/…

It's billed as new research into Copilot with a new vulnerability.

It's not. It's old, and patched.

Trend essentially stole it from Aim Security, a competitor, didn't mention them or link the research, and used generative AI to write half the article.

It then calls for collaborative AI research (lol) and tries to sell their own products as the solution, despite having no link.
