Horia Pătrașcu:

Un miting autorizat e ca un barbat fără testicule. [...]
Să ceri autorizație pentru a demonstra împotriva autorității e ca și cum un ateu ar cere binecuvântarea Patriarhului. Ca și cum ai fugi de-acasă în dormitor. Ca și cum ai renunța la școală, dar numai după absolvire…
Obligația de a autoriza un miting este de fapt o interzicere explicită a acestui drept la exprimare. Că mitingurile autorizate, organizate „conform cadrului legal”, nu sunt decât niște fake-uri penibile, niște caraghioslâcuri tolerate de Putere tocmai pentru că sunt complet inofensive am văzut la ultimele „demonstrații” organizate de sindicate sau de partidele politice. Un miting „legal”, desfășurat într-un anumit interval orar, cu baloane colorate și fluierașe de bâlci, cu muzichie și șepci cu sigle pare un hibrid între o procesiune religioasă și o paradă gay. Un asemenea miting – legal – nu este unul real. Mitingurile reale sunt mitinguri – precum cele pe care le vedem zilele acestea – ilegale, neautorizate, „anarhiste”. Și prefer infinit mai mult un asemenea miting – ilegal, dar real – celui legal, dar ireal, ireal de ridicol – precum dansul pinguinului-profesor „organizat” de niște sindicate din învățământ ajunse de râsul curcilor.

Tor: surf anonymously

Tor is free software and an open network that helps you defend against a form of network surveillance that threatens personal freedom and privacy, confidential business activities and relationships, and state security known as traffic analysis.

Tor protects you by bouncing your communications around a distributed network of relays run by volunteers all around the world: it prevents somebody watching your Internet connection from learning what sites you visit, and it prevents the sites you visit from learning your physical location. Tor works with many of your existing applications, including web browsers, instant messaging clients, remote login, and other applications based on the TCP protocol.

Un paradox random

The US is struggling with a paradox: while its military power retains global reach, its role as world leader is gradually ending.

Tribler

While the file-sharing ecosystem is currently filled with uncertainty and doubt, researchers at Delft University of Technology continue to work on their decentralized BitTorrent network. Their Tribler client doesn’t require torrent sites to find or download content, as it is based on pure peer-to-peer communication. “The only way to take it down is to take the Internet down,” the lead researcher says.

The Tribler BitTorrent client is no newcomer to the BitTorrent scene. It has been in development for more than 5 years and has delivered many innovative features, which have mostly been ignored by the masses.
Today, however, Tribler is more relevant than ever before.

Developed by a team of researchers at Delft University of Technology, the main goal is to come up with a robust implementation of BitTorrent that doesn’t rely on central servers. Instead, Tribler is designed to keep BitTorrent alive, even when all torrent search engines, indexes and trackers are pulled offline.

“Our key scientific quest is facilitating unbounded information sharing,” Tribler leader Dr. Pouwelse tells TorrentFreak.


According to Dr. Pouwelse, Tribler is fully capable of resisting any pressure from outside, and it will still work when all torrent sites and trackers are gone. It simply can’t be shutdown, blocked or censored, whatever laws politicians may come up with.
“The only way to take it down is to take The Internet down.” Pouwelse told us.


While the Tribler client only has a few thousand users at the moment, for avid file-sharers it must be a relief to know that it’s out there. No matter what crazy laws may pass in the future, people will always be able to share.
Those who want to give it a spin are welcome to download Tribler here. It’s completely Open Source and with a version for Windows, Mac and Linux.
