Or so. In a way. This, seems to cover most of them. But not all … and yours, may be weirder. Sorry, is, because yours.

Blog
Many Books bQ, part X
Progressing with my Recommended Reading list for once, part X already. As Index Librorum …
In random order (!); semantically and qua Importance. Seek order and you’ll be disappointed – that would be a result. Or give it a shot; look long and hard enough and you may find a connection, or theme. A spurious one. (?)
And don’t forget to pack this bunch for your holiday reading.

Gotta TruSST’MM
Had been planning for a long (?) time already to write something up on the issue of Trust in OSSTMM3© – in particular, how it doesn’t conform with received (abstract) notions of trust and how that’s a bit confusing until one thinks it through wide and deep enough.
First, a picture:
[Controlled to I/O, Vale]
Then, some explanation:
As I get it (now!), the OSSTMM model defines Trust as being an entry into or out of a system/component (objects, processes). The thing you may do when you are trusted. Literally, not the protection wall but the hole in that wall. Which isn’t some opinion thing the holder has of the visiting tourist. Interesting, but troublesome in its unsettling powers.
Dang. Running out of time again to delve into this deep enough – in particular where I wanted to link this to a previous post about identity and authentication … (this post in Dutch). OK. will move on for now, and return later. Already, if you have pointers to resolution of the differences (the whole scale (?) of them), don’t hesitate.
We Need New Sixties
Just an off the cuff remark. We need new Sixties. The world of totalitarian bureaucratic control, in business and in governance (if you’d reply that there’s governance in business as well, take a hike. With due apologies, that was putting it diplomatic already), has come to an end. It has failed to deliver the global commons cooperation required to deal with planetary issues. More of the same will not do.
Oh, if only we had the Sixties all over again, where old (political informal) structures were attacked by a very select very few opponents… That in the end quickly converted to being maybe even worse that their predecessors. Um.
That is why all of you should be wanting to have a translation of Tegen Verkiezingen
[Get it. That’s an order or in the alternative a recommendation]
Yes, yes, working on a Book by Quote post indeed [to be posted per 25/8]. But would be in Dutch.
And, after an initial euphoria of recognition of many lingering ideas, I found some solutions still wanting. So, when I do the follow-up reading of referenced and secondary literature, do you help develop the many loose ends ..? E.g., relations with the decline of information/communication costs and -troubles so we can do so much more (not physically, not-physically) close interaction as to make all the nation sit around the old oak tree ..? In a systemic, structural, and operational way of development, e.g., through Internet voting with all the safeguards..?
No Yo (~ Carpe Diem)
Well Hello! has anyone seen an app this stupid lately ..? Yoyoyo!
Looks a bit like:
[Dutchies read this review; star rating appropriate: (Parool review)]
Or remember the I Am Rich app:
Altogether, this sort of thing is for the yolo generation, that had forgotten how hip it is to not know one’s Carpe Diem – right! Same expression, same content. Sort of, not; the original at least had the idea to let you make most of life, not to get you out of the gene pool ASAP as per these awards that have been around since the inception of the ‘Net …
[Updated to add: Yo themselves can’t seem to grasp their own irony, as in this article…]
SecSec, two angles
Thothtech has a very useful and readable overview of ‘national’ versus ‘personal’ security.
Go read it a realize the balance has gone.
Go on! I meant that!

Business Model Down
[Deventer for zero relation with the following]
Although probably hardly still the core money maker for Big G, collecting search data for may fall back maybe significantly in the near future. Since, e.g., when did you last search for something specific enough that patterns may emerge from it..? Wasn’t it just point-and-shoot search-phrase-for-single-answer work that you did, if at all because you entered full URLs anyway ..?
Unless you’re of course part of the hoi polloi that delivers such low ultimate revenue to advertisers that it’s not worth it just return to mass marketing and don’t need Big G data specifics for that.

Welcome to Hotel SV
Just a short note; tinkering with more ‘cybersecurity’ songs (to support (or not) #ditchcyber), I came across the following snippets…:
“Welcome to the Hotel California”
“Such a lovely place”
Such a lovely face
Plenty of room at the Hotel California
Any time of year
You can find it here”“Bring your alibis”
“Mirrors on the ceiling”
And she said “We are all just prisoners here, of our own device”
Last thing I remember, I was
Running for the door
I had to find the passage back
To the place I was before
“Relax, ” said the night man,
“We are programmed to receive.
You can check-out any time you like,
But you can never leave!”
How’zat (sorry (no I’m not Canadian) USofA, culturally you’re still 99% British so you should get that reference) for the famous search engine’s approach ..?

Crowdjustice
Wellicht zullen gevestigde belangen (weer ten onrechte … DNB-kneuterpietluttigheid-waarschijnlijk-uit-doodsangst-uit-onbegrip (hoewel dat d… terecht, en gewenst?) vs California State…) gaan waarschuwen voordat de vergelijking met de huidige feitelijke situatie voldoende fundamenteel en objectief is gemaakt, maar dit is natuurlijk een interessante nieuwigheid; crowdsourcing justice. En voor degenen die jury-rechtspraak iets engs vinden wat wat de boer niet lust, leze nee bestudere dit werk eens.
Plots komt zo veel samen… Vreugde alomom zo veel culturele vooruitgang.
