Meanwhile, in Europe...quote:A ruling from the District Court of The Hague means that Dutch telecoms companies are no longer obliged to retain internet and phone traffic data for law-enforcement purposes. I don't suppose we have any of those fancy privacy protections on the books somewhere do we?

What's a good VPN today? I haven't used one for ages, one that's good for games as well as web stuff. Also why doesn't Getup or just any group really make a ad that summaries Murodese's post and run it 24/7 on every tv channel for a week and see what happens?

Because the average voter doesn't give a gently caress about anything but boats and money. We live in a surveillance state now. Get used to it. Also everyone should read this before they go running off to get a VPN or whatever: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2015/03/23/want_to_protect_yourself_in_a_snoops_paradise_you_probably_cant/ quote:With every development in Australia's data retention debate, the question arises: “how can I stop the government getting its hands on my metadata?”

it also doesn't matter what a local candidate thinks because labor has a strict policy of "toe the party line" and the party line is "be an irredeemably poo poo idiot"

I'm more concerned with preventing data being stolen by third party from the storage location than being monitored so I would prefer less of it being stored in the first place. Also the average voter only cares about what you tell them to care about, hence keep telling them that metadata = bad then they will start caring.

Linkable version at https://murodese.github.io/ I imagine there'd be a bunch of ways to echo HTTP requests and make traffic appear as if it's coming from inside a corporate network, flagging an investigation. Hide a 1x1 iframe to a terrorist website on some clickbait article and go to loving town.

Of course, that's not going to work against targeted monitoring by law enforcement, but that's not what's happening here. For the average user, a VPN is going to protect the data sent to/from one machine or one household if they configure it on a router. It isn't going to do anything about mobile data or mobile devices unless people are setting up VPNs on those devices too. The main thrust of the article is that the average user isn't going to escape this, and even technical or capable users probably aren't going to go through what's required to disappear completely. Giving people the idea that they can click a button and make their metadata vanish is dangerous and leads to a really blasé attitude.

A VPN on a mobile would still allow the government to track your location, phone calls and texts. I guess you could use some kind of VOIP and just use instant messaging but they would still get location data.

Someone should do a reverse vote compass where you answer with what policies you prefer, pick your voting intention and then get told why you're a loving idiot for voting for them.

Honestly, since Netflix is finally available (because I'm a lazy gently caress that didn't want to screw around with VPNs and poo poo beforehand) I haven't pirated poo poo and I've never really thrown myself into "digital hoarder" status so my music is all pretty much above board. That said, since Game of Thrones starts in like three weeks (conveniently enough) is there a guide to watching it legally now? Do Google Play have episodes up for purchase or some junk? Or am I better off getting a VPN and just going hog wild all around?

The only legit Australian broadcaster is Foxtel. You have to get their Foxtel go thing and the movie package. It's about $30/month right now, but that's a promo price down from $50/month

I can get poo poo from the library for free or for $1 on reserve so I don't usually bother pirating nowadays.

SMH endorses the LNP. On one hand its but on the other, Labor is also loving poo poo. Has a major paper ever decided to endorse a third party or just not give one to any party?

The only story on the SMH yesterday regarding labor was how Mark Foley was upset about Zak leaving One Direction. That alone is enough to make me never vote for the dickhead. Its loving election time, talk about how you're going to make the state better.
