pettter ✅ (pettter@social.umeahackerspace.se)'s status on Monday, 31-Oct-2016 22:08:58 UTC pettter ✅ Another Monday, another evening doing music hack stuff at !umehack. Not so much new things got done today, but figured out a few issues with the sync patch.
Also jammed a bit, got something darkish going. Completely computerless, again, with just a PO-12, and an EA-1, Axoloti for sync, all run through a small shitty amp and recorded on the phone. Lo-fi as fuck. !musicians https://social.umeahackerspace.se/attachment/107624 -
pettter ✅ (pettter@social.umeahackerspace.se)'s status on Monday, 24-Oct-2016 19:45:45 UTC pettter ✅ Todays music hack setup. Axoloti+PO-12+EA-1 for sound. MPK mini for playing one part of the Axoloti patch (the other is translating MIDI clock from the EA-1 to clock signal for the PO-12). Sound routed through everything to end up on the EA-1 output, into a guitar amp.
Pretty nice on the whole, I'll see if I can't make a ugly phone-recorded sample for upload. !musicians https://social.umeahackerspace.se/attachment/106096 -

Popular scientific talk organized by Umeå University, check out the livestream at live.umu.se starting in an hour or so, or come visit if you're in Umeå (Cafe Station). !umehack -
pettter ✅ (pettter@social.umeahackerspace.se)'s status on Monday, 17-Oct-2016 17:23:37 UTC pettter ✅ Right, @wikileaks just resumed tweeting as if nothing happened.
I'm going to assume that's nothing actually happened, and the earlier tweet was intended to do nothing but whip their supporters into a frenzy and potentially make someone political a little bit nervous.
In other word, exactly the kind of sleazy manouvering with unproved assertions that are usually heavily denounced by their supporters.
An alternative (VERY SPECULATIVE) reading is that it was a timed tweet that they forgot to remove when the rape case interview changed schedule, and that it, in that case, may have served to whip their supporters into a frenzy _as the swedish prosecutor was making their way to the embassy_, which would be shockingly irresposible behaviour, and a clear case of abusing the power of the wikileaks files and good name for personal reasons.
Either way, there's been absolutely zero evidence of internet severing presented. -
pettter ✅ (pettter@social.umeahackerspace.se)'s status on Monday, 17-Oct-2016 14:23:46 UTC pettter ✅ Spent part of the day following the #wikileaks situation, and also the related RT bank thingy.
There's so much unfounded speculation out there, and specifically, those two organisations seem to do _nothing_ to discourage it.
Wikileaks claimed, about 9h ago, that an unnamed 'state party' had severed his internet. There's been people around the embassy all day on livestream, walking into the embassy and everything (though not past the lobby, as they didn't have an appointment), with no trouble. Did the embassy change the WiFi password? Is that the 'state actor' that 'severed' his internet access? No one could lend him a 4G dongle?
As for the RT situation, they claimed to have had their bank accounts 'frozen'. Even their own story with a photo of a redacted letter from NatWest shows nothing close to that - indeed, NatWest gives an ample 2-month period for RT to find alternate banking solutions, and if they can't, they'll get a check for any outstanding balance. -

Perhaps extra relevant for UK people who apparently are supposed to help their government make a database of 'foreign workers'. Including registering schoolchildren. -
pettter ✅ (pettter@social.umeahackerspace.se)'s status on Wednesday, 28-Sep-2016 13:33:27 UTC pettter ✅ I would argue it illustrates more specifically the dangers of FPTP and two-party politics in general, and an abdication of responsibility in favour or money on the publics part in particular.
Democracy requires an informed electorate and fair and transparent voting systems, and this can be achieved either by excluding 'uninformed' people according to some criteria, or by making a concerted, expensive and public effort to inform the _whole_ population. -

pettter ✅ (pettter@social.umeahackerspace.se)'s status on Friday, 08-Jul-2016 14:59:02 UTC pettter ✅ Have been in Copenhagen for five days inhaling jazz. Have jammed at La Fontaine and Montmarte both, listened, talked, danced, drank cheap and not-so-cheap beer, seen world-class musicians fall asleep sitting down, seen world-class musicians kill it completely on stage and in jams, and in general had a great time.
Things I've done too little of:
slept, jammed, practised, eaten
Things I intend to more of these last two days:
jam
Things I intend to do once I get home:
Practise
Practise
Practise
Jam
Practise
Sleep
It's inspiring to see all these great musicians, but also _very_ intimidating. I'm nowhere near as good as I want to be.

pettter ✅ (pettter@social.umeahackerspace.se)'s status on Wednesday, 22-Jun-2016 12:43:32 UTC pettter ✅ Just FYI there are legit HACKER WARS going on in the ethereum chain.
As in, the 'white hats' are using the same bugs to drain funds from the DAO as the 'bad guys'. Except the bad guys are also in on the action, and can keep draining the place the white hats drained to.
This is the cyberpunk future we've all been waiting for, where disconnecting your shit from the internet to stop attacks is _no longer an option_.
I wonder how many of these people practised playing corewars.
