#Australia: Proposed #AntiProtest Laws: Reviewing #Victoria's New Legislation

by lawyer Galbally Parker | Jan 14, 2025

"The proposed anti- protest laws include:

- Banning the flags and symbols of listed terrorist organisations in public, to give Victoria Police more powers and fill in any gaps in Commonwealth anti-Terror legislation. Listed terrorist organisations include #Hamas, Hezbollah and several other groups, including white nationalist and racist violent extremist (NRVE) right-wing groups.
- Banning the use of #FaceMasks at protests, which are being used to conceal identities and shield agitators from crowd-control measures like #capsicum spray. A mask ban in public demonstrations will focus on prohibiting the wearing of face coverings at protests and providing police with the power to require their removal. Exemptions would apply for legitimate health, religious or cultural reasons.
- Banning the use of glue, rope, chains, locks and other dangerous attachment devices that protestors use to cause maximum disruption and endanger others
- Introducing prohibited zones for protest (i.e., where places of worship are situated)

The proposed anti-protest laws, if legislated, will give police extensive enforcement powers."

Capsicum annuum have been planted. 5 pots each of saved seed. Two sweet, one hot. California Wonder, Red Marconi, and Jalapeno. Sieved potting mix to remove the chunks of wood and rocks. On a 17 watt heat mat with a clear cover, and under one LED panel adjusted to about 220 µMol/m2/S. Temperature warmed from 63F / 17C to 78F / 26C in 2 hours or less.

A square cropped photo looking down on a 1020 tray that has a cluster of 15 two-inch pots that are full of potting mix and each have two seeds visible on the surface before they were planted with the traditional planting pencil. There are plant stakes/labels in the three farthest pots. As views the pots are 3 wide and two deep. The left column is Red Marconi, center is Jalapeno, and right is California Wonder.
A square cropped photo showing 3 heavy duty plastic zip bags that contain capsicum seeds. They are labeled and the two lower bag labels are visible through the bags stacked on top but offset vertically. There are hundreds of seeds in each bag that are generally a dark cream colored.
A square cropped photo looking at the end of the tray with planted seeds, it has a clear cover placed on top and a dial probe thermometer placed into the clear cover with it's tip resting on the first row of pots. The thermometer has a green zone to represent good worm compost temperature I think and has a cartoon worm in the middle. There is a smaller NSF food safety type thermometer on top of the clear tray cover. The bench top they are sitting on is blue and plastic. The background is silver reflective covered fiberglass cloth.
A square cropped closeup photo of the thermomter. It says "Worm Therm tm REOTEMP COMPOST" and has the 10 segmented worm cartoon in the middle. The thermometer reads in Fahrenheit on the outside scale and Celsius on the inside scale. It ranges from 25F to 125F, or -5C to 52C. It is reading 26C or 78F in this photo.

Interesting research paper comparing #sandboxing features found in #Linux, #OpenBSD and #FreeBSD, respectively #seccomp, pledge/unveil and #Capsicum

@op you are mentioned there as gmid was studied :flan_smile:

arXiv.orgSandboxing Adoption in Open Source EcosystemsSandboxing mechanisms allow developers to limit how much access applications have to resources, following the least-privilege principle. However, it's not clear how much and in what ways developers are using these mechanisms. This study looks at the use of Seccomp, Landlock, Capsicum, Pledge, and Unveil in all packages of four open-source operating systems. We found that less than 1% of packages directly use these mechanisms, but many more indirectly use them. Examining how developers apply these mechanisms reveals interesting usage patterns, such as cases where developers simplify their sandbox implementation. It also highlights challenges that may be hindering the widespread adoption of sandboxing mechanisms.

#cooking and #recipe friends: I'm taking suggestions on what to do with this beautiful bounty of mixed peppers. Some hot, some mild, some from the farmer's market, some from my neighbor. Looking for one or more ideas to make the most of these peppers. Roasted pepper, goat cheese tart? Some sort of spreadable or tapenade? Yet another hot sauce? How about candied or pickled? What's your favorite thing to do with a mixed #peppers bag? #capsicum #chilis

If I were a developer for #Crowsdstrike, I would also learn the importance of doing the parsing heavy lifting in userland, preferably in a capabilities-enabled process (read: #FreeBSD #Capsicum like capabilities.)

It is far better to see an event log entry for a failed-to-parse update than to panic the kernel.

The ring0 code definitely needs to still apply reasonableness and sanity checks on the data passed in from the userland process.

“when breeders [told the industry], ‘hey, look, I have a low-heat jalapeño,’ and then a low-heat but high-flavor #jalapeño, that kind of became the big demand because most of them are used for processing and #cooking. [Producers] want to start with jalapeños and add oleoresin #capsicum.” Why your jalapeños aren’t spicy anymore via @kottke dmagazine.com/food-drink/2023/

#FreeBSD #Capsicum question:

So I have a file descriptor with the CAP_EXTATTR_DELETE, CAP_EXTATTR_GET, CAP_EXTATTR_LIST, and CAP_EXTATTR_SET capabilities set.

Yet, calling extattr_get_fd(2) fails. Is filesystem extended attribute support supposed to work in a Capabilities-enabled process? Or am I missing additional capabilities?

The documentation surrounding how to actually do stuff in a Capilities-enabled process really could be improved.

Sample code here: git.hardenedbsd.org/shawn.webb

Nursery update. Sweet pepper seedlings transplantation succeeded and they uprighted (is that a word?) themselves within minutes, even the ones I accidentally damaged roots of during separation (excision?) from common boxes I germinate seeds in.

Ending up with additional 5 trays of 24 seedlings each, I'm now seriously running out of space under the grow lights and will have to find some takers for them ASAP.

Quick check of the nursery reveals the amount of work I'll have over the weekend to sort out all these seedlings. Hundreds of them are in need of transplantation into individual cells, and trays need to be moved around between grow lights and windowsill to pace their growth and maintain vigor. Still good 2 months to go before I'll be able to move them outdoors but so far so good...

Roughly 2-month old chili plant seedlings growing in their individual cells in 4x6 trays have started branching out and will soon need to be re-potted. These are Red Savina habanero types of exceptional heat and, due to having the meatiest and juiciest fruiting bodies of all habanero type plants I grow, are delicious in slightly more "adventurous" salsas and stews.
