- ((Needed some breathing room, taking some time off and returning on June 10th with a refreshed mind)) Quick update video, because we really should be fighting for the users. :-) If you're a sysadmin or work with an ISP, they want your network - and have likely gone through you (without your consent) to get to it. It's still happening, but the Patriot Act that makes it all possible is up for review on June 1st. WHAT TO DO:

Fight the good fight.
Has anyone watched the John Oliver show on privacy and the NSA? It was excellent. It highlights how little mainstream media cares. There's a great clip of a senator talking about ending a particular program as it's probably not helpful and they interrupt her to cut to Justin Beiber getting arrested.
mongke I saw it a few days ago. people only care if the govs can see their dick. how fucking pathetic our society has gotten due to their conditioning... so we might as use that in a play book before things get worse
Vape John I really love how effectively he used the dick bit. Haha
David Key excellent in the context of mainstream media, I guess. Yeah, he was very critical of the less careful way Assange released docs.
Tek Syndicate In your honor, Good Sirs! The most of luck to you in your Seattle housing search - beware of those Willy Wonka houses, and we'll be neighbors soon. ;-)
The internet scares our governments. Its to hard to control, to easy to share and to easy for people to learn. All these laws that are aimed at taking away our internet anonymity are the last moves of a out dated generation and a sign of fear.
The thing is, I am warning people about these kinds of things and that would and could possibly be the downfall of us humans. But every time I vent my thoughts about the whole thing, people say "calm down, if you do not have anything to hide, why bother?" and that is like saying "sure, put a chip in my new-born baby so you can follow her/him everyday for all of her/his life, it's ok, she doesn't have anything to hide". But here is the problem, if all the non-tech people say "why bother", than we give the govs more "trust" into what they are doing. And that is way too much power to give to ONE entity of people that only sees us as things in logs of data-mining e.t.c.
I got the very same responses. People are missing the point that they are slowly giving up freedom and rights that their children and grandchildren will pay for. Possibly unknowingly. The frustrating part is we live in the age of information, but it feels like the age of misinformation.
BangTango Also, people do not thrive when they live under surveillance. You cannot relax and enjoy life if you are always concerned about talking to the wrong person or saying the wrong thing.
EdWittenable Yes, indeed it is so. It is really weird when some of us understand the situation and some of us do not see the severity at all. Feels like there is nothing I can do. It is like talking to a wall when I try to talk about it with people. And I do not need to convince people like me, we already know. We need to inform the information-zombies.
BangTango To that I would ask the people to let me have a look at their call history of their phone, their history on the computer and if they have their diary ... they don't have anything to hide right? And they would trust a friend for more with the personal information then some governmental employee right? What you don't want a camera in your home? Do you have to hide something?
GunmanPunisher Believe me, i have tried that as well. And as soon as I do that, they start to believe that I am out for something, I want to look into their private lifes. And then i counter again, so do you want the gov to do that? and they say, well... no... But they still do not get it. They can't simply see the "all-too-clear" point that I make for them... Zombies, they are all a bunch of Zombies
Great to see you fighting and looking at things which matter to the world at large..
Im glad your going to be talking about this issue, I was hoping you would cover it. Cant wait until the first video on the topic :-)
Glad to see you're looking better, and thanks for the info for those that are/aren't savvy.
My best wishes for you Nicole! You rock!
thanx Nixie, will keep an eye out for your vidz to come. 2 thumbs up from South Africa
Nice to see you again! Be Well !!
Yeah I completely agree, with what you are saying, I read them an few weeks back and frankly I was shocked, I am not an US citizen, but sadly these laws effect me as an Austrian citizen.
Can't wait to see what this is all about!
Thank you
Definnitely looking forward to all this :)
thank you for doing this!
you are awesome in so many ways. love your postings. please keep it up as much as you can.
*Thank you for sharing this Nixie. This Is NO2NSA from twitter. Keep up the good work!*
Looking forward to this content.
You are an angel! Keep on the good work. Everything you do is so interesting. Don't be afraid.
Thank You... It's interesting how the Most Free country in the world is on a path to become the Least Free country in the world, all in the name of Freedom
Danke .. für die Infos.
Nice to see you are still making vids! ;D
Looking forward to it. I hope you get healed soon. cheers.
Being in Canada is not as bad as the USA but still not good. Thank god we do not have a Patriot Act and Homeland Security. So much for the land of the free.
Scott
Lots of us are talking about it...
The problem is, the "news" refuses to cover it, the loudmouths are race baiting, sexism baiting, and otherwise spewing lies...
The Government, is doing the will of lobbyist groups and special interest groups - and NOT listening to the people - Democrat or Republican, they're almost all BOUGHT!
And our current Administration is the most DANGEROUS in American History!!!
His M.O. is "blame Bush" - EVEN THOUGH through most of W's Presidency, the DEMOCRATS, led by Harry Reid & Nancy Pelosi, the two most corrupt politicians EVER, Controlled Congress - and MADE AND PASSED THE LAWS THAT PUT US IN THE 2007 Bubble and Crash!!!
Those same Democrats ALSO voted IN FAVOR of the 2003 Iraq War..... DESPITE the bull they're feeding the poorly educated Public!!!!
"We the People" need a REAL, honest change!!
Carmine Allocca "the "news" refuses to cover it, the loudmouths are race baiting, sexism baiting, and otherwise spewing lies.." ~
Clearly you watch too much Faux News Channel (FOX News Channel), or OANN owned by the Koch Bros. or listen to way too much Rush Limbaugh or Sean Hanity.
Just so you know, those Hardly ever give you the straight story and quite often make up their own stories. You should really choose your news sources from elsewhere. I suggest you try MSNBC or Al Jazeera if you want accurate and fact based news...
"I suggest you try MSNBC or Al Jazeera if you want accurate and fact based news"?????
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!
OH, and I may see 1 hour of Fox news per week....
NEVER pay attention to Limbaugh - OR Beck...
Never heard of OANN!!
I get news from multiple sources, combined with posts from various types of people, combined with 35 years of world travel, and talking to people from nearly all walks of life - BEFORE forming fact based knowledge.....
But thanks for your narrow minded opinion of someone you've never met.
You're part of the problem.
Scott Downey, When I left Canada 25 years ago the RMCP and CSIS prettymuch had the powers the FBI, HLS, CIA, and NSA have acquired in the US recently. The number one tool of deflection I remember was to constantly talk about US politics with condescension, so that believing something might be as bad or worse than the US would hurt a sense of national pride based on being better than the US.
ChromaDrone I'm not saying the RMCP and CSIS are not doing the same things cause it happens all around the world. What pisses me off is that the US states do as we want or you don't get any thing. We buy military planes but can't have the data base to maintain them. They bring in their own companies. But if they buy things from us we have to give the information over, such as the Canada Arm. It's more of a one way street. There all kinds of examples in recent years. The movie industry stating crack down on movie downloads or we will not send you opening movies for theatres. There things we just don't give a shit about but we have to do it or the US has something to say. If we make a fuss, its like so what. Do what we say or we will take it attitude. I know we have the attitude about what goes on there but we don't look in are back yard. When it comes to the internet we are spoiled. In general we have a fast system, not every place and we use the internet more than any one per capita in the world with less restrictions. I just don't think they have the right to tell us how to run this country. I could go on forever but I think I will stop at this point.Scott
Coming from a place where I know for a fact that our phones were actively monitored, and conversations recorded (right now I'm not sure it's still happening), I've learned not to trust anybody or anything with information that they could use against me.
Nobody has the time and resources to personally monitor everything that I do, but for the things that ARE being monitored, I just try to keep them away from interested parties. For example, Google doesn't care what bank serves me, but the tax authorities at my home country does. And Google and my country have nothing in common, which is great for me.
Keep the honey away from the bear, and you will care less that there's a bear, or that you have honey.
Feel better Nicole; you're one of the people in this world who inspired me to deep dive into tech and basically are one of the reasons I'm me! Privacy is something people can't really seem to fathom but I think if everyone watches the latest John Oliver sketch, it'll be a little more clear. Thanks for the awesome content and for the love of Linux, rest up 😃
I'm glad that you're pursuing this line of study, and it is study when you need to read as much material as you are to keep up to date on what's going on in this much under-publicized area. I'm studying IT at uni and was thinking of doing the units pertaining to security, because quite frankly the average person doesn't have a clue when it comes to staying safe online. They know so little, that our very own governments take advantage of that fact and try to pass crazy laws, seemingly with everyone's blessing!
Hope that You get well, soon! Wishing You the best of all possible futures!
Thanks for the info and Insights. I'm making the switch to Linux and so I found your videos on that and kept listening.
I expect that many more people are going to switch in the future and see that as a trend.
Mac lost me at Mavericks..
Thanks for helping out this noob.
Now if only I can get the Yosemite partition erased.....
So so true
Amen.
My ISP deletes all logs older than two weeks. That being said, I'm pretty sure the dragnet surveillance apparatus has already seen it all.
John Oliver made an awesome video about the pariot act, he interviewed snowden, it was posted on youtube yesterday, its called Last Week Tonight with John Oliver : Government Surveillance (HBO)
pokepokefanfan Yes, this update was inspired by that - and much, much more. 'cantheyseemydick.com is a surprisingly informative website about the NSA '
Nixie Pixel The term "privacy" makes the internet sound like a communication tool. But, as you will know, the internet is my computer(s), your computer(s), our friends'/families' computers, etc. Those devices are what we use to control our own lives. We use them as a digital extension of our biological brains. So when someone is able to intercept the data travelling between those devices - i.e. take control of our devices - democracy becomes much less relevant.
Nixie Pixel But hardly anyone understands him.
Nixie Pixel That might be the most hillarious website ever about a seriously non-hillarious thing.
:)
I'm excited to see what you've put together, Nixie. The topic is dear to many of us, and it's something that tech-savvy people might not take the time to research themselves, like you said, so I think everyone will learn something from your efforts. Very cool. Get well soon! Wish you the best and look forward to next time.
I always tell people that I'd rather die young but free than to live long but oppressed.
2018=Rip internet privacy..
Hon, I love your 'techie' postings because as a Linux newb they are really very helpful. But I appreciate you posting this piece also. I know a few techs who take the attitude that they've done no wrong and therefore the noise is "all about politics" and they try and ignore it. That was fine a few years ago. We cannot ignore what is happening and, I suggest, as the tech-inclined, have a duty higher than that of the Mom and Pop home user to fight the erosion of our liberties, simply because we can often appreciate the implications more clearly. Money is driving this change, not threat or true patriotism. Good on you for using your space here to take a stance. Respect.
Although i've been subscribed to you for a number of years i've never been your biggest fan. I enjoy the LINUX content and commend you in using your free time towards a tremendous effort Nixie.
you go girl!
Hope you are feeling better.
i love all ur videos, shifted to linux because u suggested.
dunno what happened, time heals all wounds. keep fighting.
May the Force be with you. There are many level of Sysadmin. I used to be sysadmin, and not all sysadmin is smart as the job require.
I'm really glad that you made this video and are interested in this problem. The more people that are talking about it the more likely that this discussion will move into the wider audience of the general public. I may make some videos on this as well. We all need to start talking about this.
Anyone interested in some background information about how the US government is going astray should look up "Chris Hedges" and "G. Edward Griffin" on CZcams. They both have a ton of videos talking about the corruption of the US federal government and the danger that this poses to the citizens.
Hi Nixie! Right now I would like to say Thank's for the excellent work You are doing. I been having the same problem with my network and just now for exemple whatching this Video That I can't even finish it because ones You clear them out, that is when the thing gets messed up. Because they wont to come back in so have that I can't even communicate with my wireless router any longer until they are back in, and when they get back in I can communicate with my router again. Some times I even think in just let them in for good so I can work.
You scared me... For one second, I thought you would say: "I have to shut my channel for some reason...", but thank God, this did not happen :)
hoping you get well soon!!!..
its time for us to create multiple internets to compete with the one and only internet that we currently have.
Nixie, would you please consider doing a tutorial on Tor, PGP, etc? Some considerations and shortcomings with this software would be good to know. Thank you.
Déjà vu. I'm in the middle of writing a term paper for my sociology of surveillance class on online privacy. lol
You have my full support can't wait to see what you have worked on. I hope you feel better sweetheart.
Im writing a huge argumentative paper on net neutrality and the recent FCC ruling unfortunately I have no time to go over a 600 page document your infotmation would be very helpful nicole :)
The rabbit hole goes pretty deep and far back, having its roots long into history and the dark spiritual forces behind it are denied by the establishment atheistic mindset.
Funny how this ironically came up on the same day as John Oliver's more high-profile video with Mr. Snowden. But regardless, I think it's an excellent topic to have a discussion on!
Linus Lee It's because of it. It's no coincidence. Also, she's done online privacy stuff before.
end tyranny once and for all!
I've been a long time viewer I still have to say what the hell. I know health issues hit the young like totalbiscuit which has gone through many treatments in the past year and if you have had to deal with the same I'll support you big time. What is the illness? And how can we help?
OK!
Thanks for the heads up. It's bad in the UK too; The GCHQ has everything intercepted and with very vague laws, almost everyone is a target.
I don't know if you are aware of this but people are being arrested for saying things on Social media which the state deems distasteful. Yet they (The media and the government) criticise countries like Iran and Turkey.
It's bonkers here!
Why did youtube recommend this. I never have seen this, ever. Strange...
Another source of analysis on government documents is the podcast No Agenda . You should listen to a couple of episodes because they do a lot of in depth dissection on things like Executive Orders and current laws.
Freedom isn't free, it costs $1.05....
Interesting. ..
Hang in Nixie we thank you for all your hard work you have helped me a lot thank's!!!!!!!!!!
Feel Better Nixie.
is this monitoring also happening outside the US ? or will it be /scope , etc? I am not from the US
Recently I was looking back into what Ubuntu ever did (If anything) about their lens software that connects to Amazon every time you search for something on your computer and has Amazon give you recommended software.
I know you did a video about privacy a while back, but I'm not sure if you touched on that. From my research, Ubuntu 12's LTS still has it on by default. For those Linux users who are using Ubuntu, you're now aware of this fact. :-)
Do a video on going into the temp files that you pick up on the web. Your computer's ram will occasionally forget to delete things off of it. The things stuck on the ram takes up available ram that could make you computer up to...well, really fast.
Dude, I want to hug you
Nixie, you would be the best person in the world to give someone a really bad news, because nothing can be bad enough when you're speaking with that incredibly smooth voice of yours. Besides, you're really gorgeous, so that turns a "very bad news" into a "not that good news", in worst case scenario.
Sounds like something Agent Scully would say.
Nixie Pixel I'm interested in politics! Please make a video about your reactions on reading these government documents :)
i love how the patriot act re-activation was basically hidden in the news... you should all watch 'Last Week Tonight' hilariously informing. its available on hbo and youtube.
This aged well.
I already follow Tek Syndicate. My tinfoil hat is already on.
I'm so not tech savvy, but I did stay at a holiday inn last night..
JET FUEL CAN'T MELT STEEL BEAMS
My employer uses Bluecoat's SSL Man-in-the-middle thing.
You know how I found out?
I found out totally accidentally because I happen to use Firefox as my browser and one day it pretty much just broke.
Or more precisely all the sites using https broke and that means all of google, yahoo, and facebook.
And then it was me doing a lot of googling (using an alternate browser).
I had to check multiple sources of info because I was not aware of this SSL infiltration nastiness before.
It's like--It's one thing to know that in principle your employer *could* be monitoring you.
It's another thing entirely to find out one day that they largely have not been, but that they totally are now--and they can get into *EVERYTHING* .
Eventually I found a non-policy-breaking way to rig up Firefox and get around the SSL infiltration. See there's actually two networks my computer can access from work. So I have Firefox route through the guest access network instead.
Same for Dropbox.
Yep. The three letter people have been very interested in my online activities...
You should really team up with Tek Syndicate to work on this issue together. You're both very knowledgeable on the subject!
Glad you're talking about this, but I hope it doesn't consume you. It would me.
"Reform the NSA", that will only happen when hall freezes over.
Nixie Pixel Geekbuzz please help me!!! I might have completely broken my windows 7 partition. Ubuntu 14.04.2 is booting perfectly fine but when I boot windows, it keeps starting windows screen forever!!! When I was installing ubuntu, I was trying to divide windows partition into Two for Ubuntu but I force shut down my laptop and now I cannot turn on windows 7 whatsoever!!! Please tell me if there is any fix.. I thought you liked helping others specially with linux. Right??? Also, in ubuntu, I can access all my files in the hardrive including my windows partition.
Ohhh yeahh ahhh
Please be careful. Anyone who gets too loud suddenly disappear/die
Re: Rights. The United States, almost uniquely among nations (with the exception of France), places all rights in the hands of the people. Government only has powers that are given to it by the people, who can take them back at any time. It is far more than nitpicking to point out that the Bill of Rights does not grant rights; it RECOGNIZES them. Rights, in the United States, are qualities that people are born with, and which the government cannot take away (except in the case when rights come in conflict with each other). A lot of the controversy over the Bill of Rights was based on the fear that ONLY enumerated rights would be recognized; the 10th Amendment was passed for that reason (one member of the Constitutional Convention joked, when pointing out that there was no way that all rights could be enumerated, that it would be a waste of space to say that the government can't decree what you have for dinner. Little did he know...). Alas, both major political parties are working very hard to reverse this. Hope that this little history lesson helps with your phrasing!
Hang in there...
I'd like to have an answer on this please, how bad is it if they're monitoring us?
How does this harm us?
I think it actually protects us and I encourage whoever may be watching to keep doing their job, because I feel bad for them.
They do a honest job to protect us and people just panic and hate on them..
I hear people saying things like "Yeah, they should only watch people outside the US or North America", but I'm certain there's many *MANY* people that could cause harm and that live in the US or North America and that it could be prevented.
I think the NSA is saving lives and they are being blamed for it like it was a bad thing.
Hey guys and ladies, do you have any ideas on some linux distros so that the government can't track you or anything, i dunno, just interested.
Dear Nixie,
im a software dev and yes i agree that the internet has turned from a place of freedom to "strictly observed" place where freedom is sort of secondary.
IMO however the internet is still sort of "free". Ppl talk about privacy online where i have to think about crime or online crime which by old standards would mean a criminal person could do wte he wants to. see silkroad etc for example.
I agree that being under surveillance is bad or makes u think ur not free anymore but personally i see these ppl as "online cops" to protect us free ppl while still being free.
I have nothing to hide and frankly if ppl feel the need to observe me close up then go ahead. It does not rlly affect me or restrict me from my online usage. Freedom has its price ._. and just as a reference because ppl might have that at the back of their heads already. What the NSA can do is most likely a lot more than we already know. Observing and controlling it is important.
We all want our privacy and we shouldnt think of NSA ppl spying on us that it is limited or restricted. They do it for our protection after all.
PS: im not a US citizen but still feel the affection of this internet surveillance even here. Internet privacy affects everyone internationally.
We're going to make our own internet that is like 4chan?
Thanks for being concerned about this.
Here is another place you can contact Congress:

i love you !!! :3
long live to open source :v
She found something :)
Good
Can this wait until after my favorite reality show? Oh, after sports too. After WoW...
Thanks!
See the biggest problem?
Oh hai Nicole! (:z
Your probably too young to remember this but there was a real funny movie about the NSA in the 1980's called Hanky Panky. Pretty much says it all.
Like business establish slogans "NSA weaking software standards since 1975", LOL.
Smart chicks rule!
i don't know if i missed a video or something but what happened to you nixie?
Honestly, Richard Stallman has been talking about this for years now. Until the leaks people just saw him as crazy. Now, not so much... okay he may still be a little eccentric. I'd look to fsf.org and gnu.org for some inspiration about freedom and privacy.
everyone is going to be on camera
Yes it is a long term debate. We all share huge amounts of data with each other publicly yet we wish to keep some measure of privacy and security from those who would abuse or mis-use such data against us or those around us. This is the near constant quandry of such an open social network or open source technolgy for that matter. The real answer is that there is no real solution. Freedom, true freedom comes at the cost of eternal vigilance. We as an open community must be vigilant at all times.
