Incest ‘is an issue of at least three persons within the family: there is the perpetrator, the victim, and the person who allowed the acts to be committed or repeated while they were known or revealed to him or her.’

“The power to destroy a thing is the absolute control over it.”
— Frank Herbert, Dune

I see AWS touting “sovereign cloud”. Again. Microsoft and Google likewise always play this card.

Even if these cloud companies’ claim they couldn’t “access your keys” was true, they clearly want you to think only about confidentiality.

Why is that?

That’s because otherwise you’d realise your keys (or derivatives) are on their infrastructure. So they can delete them.

And when they delete your keys, all your confidential data turns into random, unrecoverable zeros and ones. Permanently lost. Gone. Kaput.

That’s why the cloud companies do not want you to think for even a millisecond about availability.

And really, how realistic is it that any cloud company would ever willingly destroy their customer’s data, right?

Good night. Sleep tight.

The director of the institution, Pierre Silviet-Carricart, has been charged of the case of sexual assault. François Bayrou asked the investigating judge for a meeting at his place. The discussion was around the risks for the Bayrous' son, then a student at the boarding school. François Bayrou's wife attended the director's funeral in 2000.

At Parliament, on 11th February 2025, François Bayrou was representing the government for the weekly question-and-answer session. When asked about #Bétharram, he stated before the National Assembly that he had "never been informed of any violence, and even less of sexual violence".

François #Bayrou is the current Prime Minister of #France.

In 1996, violence was denounced in the elite catholic school of his constituency. He made an official visit as both the then Minister of National Education and a member of the National Assembly for a seat in Béarn (the province of the school). He told the regional press: "The people of Béarn felt these attacks with a sense of pain and a sense of injustice. […] All the checks were favourable and positive."

Few things I like in IRC over Matrix, or any other protocol in professional setting:

1. Does not try to blend #security and #decentralization. By not having security at all is one way to implement a sound security model. This allows to design security properties both by means of infrastructure security, i.e. outside the protocol, and also by tunneling, i.e. inside the protocol (classic example is off-the record messaging). This keep the core protocol compact and sound, and easy to verify for correctness, which is by itself a strong security property.
2. Has both decentralized and client/server based topology since 1988(!). It is a network of servers, which together form an IRC network.
3. Protocol messages are both rigidly structured AND still human-readable (unlike JSON), and have a clean specification (RFC 1459).
4. Features not in the protocol itself can be implemented efficiently with bots, given the ease parsing and producing IRC protocol messages.
5. IRC network heals fast from failures and has high #availability properties, given the clean and rigid definition of what it does and what it does not do.

"28. Member States should instil a culture of the rights of the child and of responsibility of all professionals and adults in contact with children. Member States should consider systematically developing professional protocols and standards on child protection procedures and child protection safeguards, with the aim of ensuring that all organisations working for and with children have robust child protection policies and reporting mechanisms for situations of violence in place."

"Incestuous rapes are bargain rapes committed by good guys who are not bad guys, but men who find it legitimate for women and children to be at their sexual disposal".
