Ca me choque de fou la situation autour de Ursula Von-der-Leyen.
J’avais déjà connaissance de ces procès truqués, mais je me disais que des condamnations plus justes arriveraient.

Suisse : L’armée envoie des SMS aux mauvais destinataires au milieu de la nuit ats/ami

Certains Suisses ont reçu par erreur un message de l’armée au milieu de la nuit. Destiné à ses membres actifs, le message, envoyé à environ 27’000 personnes, a aussi atterri dans les mauvaises boîtes de réception.

Le Département fédéral de la défense, de la protection de la population et des sports (DDPS) a confirmé l’incident à Keystone-ATS, revenant sur une information publiée jeudi par Watson. ►https://www.watson.ch/schweiz/armee/652099056-schweizer-erhalten-irrtuemliche-sms-und-e-mails-armee-entschuldigt-

Le message a été envoyé en raison d’un problème technique, indique le DDPS, qui ne peut pas quantifier le nombre de personnes qui ont reçu le message par erreur. Parmi eux, on trouve des militaires qui ne sont pas encore enregistrés auprès du gestionnaire de service.

L’armée s’excuse auprès des personnes concernées pour les désagréments occasionnés.

Chinese Number Slang : The Essential Guide to Mandarin Numerical Speak
▻https://www.fluentu.com/blog/chinese/chinese-number-slang

L’éthymologie du 250 est une histoire charmante qui témoigne de l’humour populare chinois. L’argot berlinois connaît sa fausse pièce de monnaie de cinquante centimes « falscher Fuffziger » qui est une expression pour désigner un menteur, un traitre, un personnage douteux ou louche. Le code numérique pour « idiot » est typiquement chinois et bien plus abstrait qu’une métaphore. D’abord on remarque que sa prononciation omet le dix (shi), alors sa signification exacte serait « 205 », mais tout le monde entend et comprend « 250 ».

Le numéro le plus dangereux et agressif est le 4 四 . Sa prononciation « sì » ent fait un homonyme de 死 sǐ qui signifie mourir ou la mort. . Alors si vous trouvez dans votre boîte de réception SMS le message 444 vous savez que vous devez courir vite pour échapper à ce qu’on vous a destiné.

Le chinois est concis et a tendence omettre tout élément linguistique inutile. Les homophonies omniprésentes permettent de « numériser » phonétiquement n’importe quel mot ou expression à la manière des LOL, RTFM, AFK etc.
C’est aussi drôle et difficile à mémoriser pour les débutants que les 成语 chéngyǔ , les expressions idiomatiques qui sont la clé d’une véritable maîtrise de la langue chinoise.

Aujourd’hui les listes de codes sont des documents historiques. Dans les années 1980 la vie à Hongkong, Taiwan et Singapour s’organisait autour des pagers prédécesseurs des SMS aux capacités encore plus limitées. Tout le monde portait avec soi son petit bipbip. La limitation radicale du nombre de signes transmis et la difficulté de les entrer sur un minuscule clavier qui n’avait parfois que deux ou trois touches encourageait l’utilisation de code numériques á la place de mots.

5.10.2023 ny Nathan Thomas Facebook may be blocked in China, but that doesn’t stop young people from wasting away their lives online just like we do in the West!

Inside this online universe, an interesting phenomenon occurs: Chinese internet slang, and specifically number slang.

It allows people to form sentences, exchange insults and even declare their undying love, simply by typing out a few carefully chosen digits.

Read on for a look at the concept of number slang in more detail and some popular examples.

And One More Thing...

250 / 二百五 (èr bǎi wǔ) — Idiot

We begin with a special case. While you’ve probably noticed that China is pretty big on homophones, similar sounds aren’t the only tools used to create Chinese number slang.

Occasionally, half-forgotten myths from Chinese history have lent significance to certain numbers, and that’s the case with the pretty common insult “250.”

Basically, in ancient China, coins were strung together in stacks of 1000. It was considered modest and politely self-deprecating for scholars to refer to themselves as “half a stack”—in other words, “500.” Half of 500, of course, is 250, so 二百五 came to refer to someone who’s so dumb they aren’t even half a stack!

Most people who use this term probably aren’t aware of the origin story, so don’t worry if it’s a bit confusing or difficult to remember.
886 / 爸爸六 (bā bā liù) — Goodbye

An example of Hong Kong Cantonese internet slang, this one actually seems to make make more sense in Mandarin. While most Chinese number slang terms sound like other Chinese words, this one is used because it sounds like English words… sorta.

“Bā bā liù” sounds close enough to “bye-bye le.” The le refers to the Chinese grammar particle 了, which is used at the end of verbs to indicate past tense or a change in status. A (very) rough approximation of the English meaning would be “Bye-bye then!”
520 / 五二零 (wǔ èr líng) — I love you

Now we get into more examples using Chinese words that sound similar to numbers. Let’s break this one down:

五 (wǔ) — 5 = 我 (wǒ) — I

二 (èr) — 2 = 爱 (ài) — love

零 (líng) — 0 = 你 (nǐ) — you

Put it all together, and you get 我爱你 (wǒ ài nǐ) — “I love you!”
1314 / 一三一四 (yī sān yī sì) — Forever

When read in Chinese, 1314 sounds similar to 一生一世 (yī shēng yī shì) — “one life, one world,” meaning “for the rest of my life” or “forever.”

And, if you put the last two examples together, we get what has to be the quickest way to declare undying love in any language: 520 1314, or 我爱你一生一世 (wǒ ài nǐ yī shēng yī shì) — I love you forever!
2013 / 二零一三 (èr líng yī sān) — I’ll love you forever

OK, so I guess I was wrong. If typing the numbers “520 1314” takes too much time, there is in fact an even quicker way to tell someone that you’ll love them forever: 2013.

When read in Chinese, these numbers sound reasonably close to 爱你一生 (ài nǐ yī shēng) — “love you one life!”
555 / 五五五 (wǔ wǔ wǔ) — Crying noise

If your numeric declaration of undying love was met with deafening silence and you were feeling a bit upset about it, you could express your emotions by writing 555.

Read in Chinese as “wǔwǔwǔ,” this is an onomatopoeia for crying. Not exactly high literature, but hey, it makes sense!
514 / 五一四 (wǔ yī sì) — I want to die

You may have noticed by now that Chinese number slang tends towards hyperbole.

In a world where lifelong dedication to someone can be expressed with a small string of numbers, even the mildest disappointment can call for something that would otherwise be considered extreme.

When the number “1” is read as “yao” (more on this below), then 514 sounds like 我要死 (wǒ yào sǐ) — “I want to die.”
7465 / 七四五六 (qī sì wǔ liù) — You’re making me angry

So you’re going through the stages of grief and have passed from tears to fury. Got to be a quick number slang way of expressing this, right?

7456 sounds close enough to 气死我了 (qì sǐ wǒ le) — “you’re angering me to death!”
How Chinese Number Slang Works

Here are the digits 0-9, and some of their possible word equivalents:

零 (líng) — zero. This can be used to mean 你 (nǐ) — you. Now, to me, they really don’t sound that similar, but in some Chinese dialects the n and l sounds are pretty interchangeable.
一 (yī) — one. Another one that’s a bit tricky. The number one is generally pronounced yī in Chinese, but in some contexts, such as in addresses or phone numbers, it’s pronounced yao to make it more distinct from other similar-sounding numbers. Yao sounds the same as 要 (yào) — to want.
二 (èr) — two. This one’s a bit easier! It sounds similar to 饿 (è) — hungry, and similar enough to 爱 (ài) — love.
三 (sān) — three. “Three” is used in particularly sappy examples of internet slang, often as a stand-in for 生 (shēng) — life.
四 (sì) — four. The most unlucky number in Chinese, 四 sounds like 死 (sǐ) — death.
五 (wǔ) — five. This one sounds similar to 我 (wǒ) — I. It’s also an onomatopoeia for crying.
六 (liù) — six. “Six” is used in an example that borrows from Cantonese, and also as the grammar particle 了(le).
七 (qī) — seven. This sounds the same as 气 (qì) — air, and is used in words such as 生气 (shēng qì) — to be angry.
八 (bā) — eight. It sounds like 爸爸 (bà ba) — dad, or a transliteration of the English “bye-bye.”
九 (jiǔ) — nine. This is the only digit without a use in the examples above. Congratulations, number nine!

Liste très longue de codes.

The proliferation of pager, chat rooms, instant messaging, and phone text messaging has created a whole new set of acronyms and codes designed to minimize the amount of typing. First it was fairly simple acronyms like IMHO (“in my humble opinion“) or AFAIK (“as far as I know’). Telephone and pagers, lacking a full keyboard required more inventive approaches such as using 07734 for “hello“ (read upside down) or “10“ for “you are perfect“ (as in a perfect 10). Modern communications technologies, especially the cell phones, are if anything, more popular in Asia than in the West. So what do the Chinese use for codes? The Chinese language, not being alphabetic, does not lend itself to the use of acronyms. However, a few acronyms based on pinyin spellings do exist. Examples include GG for older brother (哥哥, gege) or MM for younger sister (妹妹, meimei).

Fortunately, long before the invention of the telephone, the Chinese already had a tradition of associating certain words with numbers or things based on the similarities of sound. For example, the number eight (八) is considered a lucky number because it is pronounced “ba“, which sounds like the Chinese word for prosperity (發, fa). Similarly, the number four (四) is associated with bad luck because it is pronounced “si“, which sounds like the Chinese word for death (死,si). Given this tradition, it should be no surprise that there is in fact a large number of numeric codes in existence. Most of the words are represented with numbers having a similar sound or a least a similar leading consonant. One notable exception is the number used to represent the word “you“, the number 0. Although the Chinese word for zero does not sound much like like the word for “you“, the choice may have resulted from the fact that there is no close-sounding candidate while the same number is used in English codes to represent the same meaning.

L’impératif de communiquer éradique toute vie intérieure, par David Le Breton, dans Libération

Dans cette communication, il est impossible de se taire, d’écouter le silence ou de rêver un instant les autres.

Ils sont dans la société mais plus dans le lien. Ils cheminent en zombies postmodernes, prosternés. Difficile de ne pas songer à ce qu’écrivait Walter Benjamin sur la perte d’aura de l’œuvre d’art à l’époque de sa reproduction industrielle. Cette communication profuse perd sa dimension de sacralité, elle se profane dans sa répétition sans fin, son impossibilité de se taire, d’écouter le silence ou de rêver un instant les autres. Il ne restera rien de ces nombreux échanges journaliers.

Autrefois, s’interrogeant sur la pertinence du câble transatlantique ou du télégraphe, le philosophe Henry David Thoreau commentait : « Très bien cela, mais si les gens n’ont rien à se dire. » Quelques décennies plus tard, Georg Simmel relayait le propos : « L’ivresse dans laquelle les triomphes du télégraphe et du #téléphone ont littéralement plongé les hommes les empêche souvent de voir que l’important, c’est la valeur de ce que l’on a à communiquer et que face à cela la rapidité ou la lenteur du mode d’acheminement est souvent une affaire n’ayant acquis que par usurpation le rang qu’elle occupe actuellement. » La valeur de la #parole tient, en effet, à sa limite. Seul a de prix ce qui risque de manquer, ce qui n’est plus le cas de la communication qui engloutit aujourd’hui la conversation.

L’impératif de communiquer, au sens moderne du terme, est une mise en accusation du silence, comme il est une éradication de toute intériorité. Il ne laisse pas le temps de la #réflexion ou de la #flânerie car l’exigence de réactivité l’emporte. Il faut rester connecté, éternellement disponible, en état d’alerte. Si la pensée ou le simple fait de vivre exige la #patience, la #délibération, la flânerie, à l’inverse la communication s’effectue toujours dans la vitesse et l’utilitarisme. Elle transforme l’individu en interface ou le destitue des attributs qui ne concernent pas d’emblée ses exigences. […]

Etre seul devient désormais un souci, la confrontation à une intolérable intériorité qui amène à se précipiter sur son portable au feu rouge, à un stop, dans une file d’attente ou même en marchant dans les rues. […]

Plus la communication s’étend et plus elle engendre l’aspiration à se taire, au moins un instant, afin d’entendre le frémissement des choses. Cette ébriété de #messages et de téléchargements rend enviable le repos, la jouissance de penser enfin l’événement et d’en parler en prenant le temps dans un rythme qui avance de son pas tranquille afin que soit pleinement restaurée la valeur de la parole.

#communication #dépendance #addiction #abrutissement #silence #intériorité #attention #concentration #whatsapp #SMS

Perso, je trouve que déjà ce n’était pas toujours très simple de s’assurer que les personnes recevaient bien les sms. Mais cela valait le coup quand même d’avoir couplé à la fois un système plus sécurisé et usage standard. Dommage

Drone Terror from Turkey. Arms buildup and crimes under international law - with German participation

In Kurdistan, Libya or Azerbaijan, Turkish “#Bayraktar_TB2” have already violated international law. Currently, the civilian population in Ethiopia is being bombed with combat drones. Support comes from Germany, among others.

For almost two decades, companies from the USA and Israel were the undisputed market leaders for armed drones; today, China and Turkey can claim more and more exports for themselves. Turkey is best known for its “Bayraktar TB2,” which the military has been using since 2016 in the Turkish, Syrian and now also Iraqi parts of Kurdistan in violation of international law. In the four-month #Operation_Olive_Branch in Kurdish #Rojava alone, the “TB2” is said to have scored 449 direct hits four years ago and enabled fighter jets or helicopters to make such hits in 680 cases. It has a payload of 65 kilograms and can remain in the air for over 24 hours.

The Turkish military also flies the “#Anka”, which is also capable of carrying weapons and is manufactured by #Turkish_Aerospace_Industries (#TAI). In a new version, it can be controlled via satellites and thus achieves a greater range than the “#TB2”. The “Anka” carries up to 200 kilograms, four times the payload of its competitors. The newest version of both drones can now stay in the air for longer than 24 hours.

Drone industry is dependent on imports

The “Anka” is also being exported, but the “TB2” is currently most widely used. The drone is manufactured by #Baykar, whose founder and namesake is #Selçuk_Bayraktar, a son-in-law of the Turkish president. The “TB2” also flew attacks on Armenian troops off #Nagorno-Karabakh, for the Tripoli government in Libya and for Azerbaijan; there it might have even - together with unmanned aerial vehicles of Israeli production - been decisive for the war, according to some observers.

The aggressive operations prompted further orders; after Qatar, Ukraine, Morocco, Tunisia and Turkmenistan, Baykar is the first NATO country to sell the drone to Poland. About a dozen countries are said to have already received deliveries, and about as many are said to be considering procurement. Interest is reportedly coming from as far away as Lithuania and even the United Kingdom.

The comparatively young Turkish drone industry is able to produce many of the components for its unmanned aerial vehicles itself or buy them from domestic suppliers, but manufacturers are still dependent on imports for key components. This applies to engines, for example, which are also produced in Turkey but are less powerful than competing products. For this reason, the “TB2” flew with Rotax engines from Austria, among others. Following Turkey’s support for the Azerbaijani war of aggression, the company stopped supplying Baykar.

Canada imposes export ban

According to the Kurdish news agency ANF, Baykar has also made purchases from Continental Motors, a U.S. corporation partly based in Germany that took over Thielert Aircraft Engines GmbH eight years ago. A cruise control system made by the Bavarian company MT-Propeller was found in a crashed “TB2”. According to the Armenian National Committee of America, a radar altimeter manufactured by SMS Smart Microwave Sensors GmbH and a fuel filter made by Hengst were also installed in the drone.

However, exports of these products are not subject to licensing, and sales may also have been made through intermediaries. Hengst, for example, also sells its products through automotive wholesalers; the company says it does not know how the filter came into Baykar’s possession.

Originally, the “TB2” was also equipped with a sensor module from the Canadian manufacturer Wescam. This is effectively the eye of the drone, mounted in a hemispherical container on the fuselage. This so-called gimbal can be swiveled 360° and contains, among other things, optical and infrared-based cameras as well as various laser technologies. Wescam also finally ended its cooperation with Baykar after the government in Ottawa issued an export ban on the occasion of the war over Nagorno-Karabakh. The country had already imposed a temporary halt to deliveries following Turkish operations in the Kurdish region of Rojava in North Syria.

“Eye” of the drone from Hensoldt

Selçuk Bayraktar commented on the decision made by the Canadian Foreign Minister, saying that the required sensor technology could now also be produced in Turkey. In the meantime, the Turkish company Aselsan has also reported in newspapers close to the government that the sensor technology can now be produced completely domestically. Presumably, however, these devices are heavier than the imported products, so that the payload of small combat drones would be reduced.

Hensoldt, a German company specializing in sensor technology, has been one of the suppliers. This was initially indicated by footage of a parade in the capital of Turkmenistan, where a freshly purchased “TB2” was also displayed to mark the 30th anniversary of the attainment of independence in Aşgabat last year. In this case, the drone was equipped with a gimbal from Hensoldt. It contains the ARGOS-II module, which, according to the product description, has a laser illuminator and a laser marker. This can be used, for example, to guide a missile into the target.

Hensoldt was formed after a spinoff of several divisions of defense contractor Airbus, including its radar, optronics, avionics and electronic device jamming businesses. As a company of outstanding security importance, the German government has secured a blocking minority. The Italian defense group Leonardo is also a shareholder.

Rocket technology from Germany

The ARGOS module is manufactured by Hensoldt’s offshoot Optronics Pty in Pretoria, South Africa. When asked, a company spokesman confirmed the cooperation with Baykar. According to the company, the devices were delivered from South Africa to Turkey in an undisclosed quantity “as part of an order”. In the process, “all applicable national and international laws and export control regulations” were allegedly complied with.

The arming of the “TB2” with laser-guided missiles was also carried out with German assistance. This is confirmed by answers to questions in the German Bundestag reported by the magazine “Monitor”. According to these reports, the German Foreign Ministry has issued several export licenses for warheads of an anti-tank missile since 2010. They originate from the company TDW Wirksysteme GmbH from the Bavarian town of Schrobenhausen, an offshoot of the European missile manufacturer MBDA.

According to the report, the sales were presumably made to the state-owned Turkish company Roketsan. Equipment or parts for the production of the missiles are also said to have been exported to Turkey. The TDW guided missiles were of the “LRAT” and “MRAT” types, which are produced in Turkey under a different name. Based on the German exports, Roketsan is said to have developed the “MAM” missiles for drones; they are now part of the standard equipment of the “TB2”. These so-called micro-precision munitions are light warheads that can be used to destroy armored targets.

Export licenses without end-use statement

Roketsan sells the MAM guided missiles in three different versions, including a so-called vacuum bomb. Their development may have been carried out with the cooperation of the Bavarian company Numerics Software GmbH, according to ANF Deutsch. Numerics specializes in calculating the optimal explosive effect of armor-piercing weapons. According to the German Foreign Ministry, however, the company’s products, for which licenses have been issued for delivery to Turkey, are not suitable for the warheads in question.

When the German government issues export licenses for military equipment, it can insist on a so-called end-use declaration. In the case of Turkey, the government would commit to obtaining German permission before reselling to a third country. The Foreign Ministry would not say whether such exchanges on missiles, sensors or other German technology have taken place. In total, export licenses for goods “for use or installation in military drones” with a total value of almost 13 million euros have been issued to Turkey, according to a response from last year.

Deployment in Ethiopia

As one of the current “hot spots”, the “Bayraktar TB2” is currently being deployed by Ethiopia in the civil war with the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF). As recently as December, the Tigrinese rebels were on the verge of entering the capital Addis Ababa, but the tide has since turned. Many observers attribute this to the air force. The Ethiopian military has 22 Russian MiG-23 and Sukhoi-27 fighter jets, as well as several attack helicopters.

But the decisive factor is said to have been armed drones, whose armament allows far more precise attacks. “There were suddenly ten drones in the sky”, the rebel general Tsadokan Gebretensae confirmed to the New York Times in an interview. In a swarm, these had attacked soldiers and convoys. The Reuters news agency quotes a foreign military who claims to have “clear indications” of a total of 20 drones in use. However, these also come from China and Iran.

Evidence, meanwhile, shows that the Turkish combat drones are used as before in Kurdistan and other countries for crimes under international law. On several occasions, they have also flown attacks on civilians, including in convoys with refugees. Hundreds of people are reported to have died under Turkish-made bombs and missiles.

After the “TB2” comes the significantly larger “Akıncı”

In the future, the Turkish military could deploy a significantly larger drone with two engines, which Baykar has developed under the name “Akıncı”. This drone will be controlled via satellites, which will significantly increase its range compared to the “TB2”. Its payload is said to be nearly 1.5 tons, of which 900 kilograms can be carried under the wings as armament. According to Baykar, the “Akıncı” can also be used in aerial combat. Unarmed, it can be equipped with optical sensors, radar systems or electronic warfare technology.

Baykar’s competitor TAI is also developing a long-range drone with two engines. The “#Aksungur” is said to have capabilities comparable to the “#Akıncı” and was first flown for tests in 2019.

#TousAntiCovid : attention à ce #faux #SMS du #gouvernement qui diffuse un dangereux malware - Cyberguerre
►https://cyberguerre.numerama.com/9188-des-hackers-imitent-le-sms-tousanticovid-du-gouvernement-

Qui se cache derrière l’envoi du SMS ? Le mystère semble difficile à résoudre. Et pour cause, l’affichage « #GOUV.FR » cache l’émetteur. « La problématique des SMS est la même que nous avions pour les emails il y a dix ans : il n’y a pas d’authentification de l’expéditeur », explique à Numerama Adrien Gendre Chief Solution Architect de Vade Secure.

Concrètement, n’importe qui peut afficher son SMS comme provenant de « Gouv.fr » à son destinataire : soit la personne a les compétences techniques mettre en place le subterfuge par elle-même, soit elle peut utiliser une des nombreuses apps qui l’automatisent. D’autres services permettent quant à eux l’envoi de SMS en masse avec un nom d’émetteur, pour un prix entre 6 et 7 centimes le SMS. « Il n’y a aucun moyen facile de détecter quel numéro se cache derrière le nom. Un utilisateur n’a pas d’autre choix que de le signaler et d’attendre que les opérateurs prennent le sujet en main » relève Adrien Gendre.

Peu importe qui a envoyé le phishing, il a fait preuve d’un degré de sophistication extrêmement rare pour un phishing diffusé, semble-t-il, à grande échelle. De quoi ouvrir une enquête ?

Signal Is the Messaging App of the Protests - The New York Times
▻https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/11/style/signal-messaging-app-encryption-protests.html

https://static01.nyt.com/images/2020/06/14/fashion/10SIGNAL-1/10SIGNAL-1-facebookJumbo.jpg

Over the last two weeks, the number of Americans who have downloaded Signal, an encrypted messaging application, has skyrocketed. Many are using the app to organize and participate in protests against police brutality (without being spied on by law enforcement).

The week before George Floyd died on May 25, about 51,000 first-time users downloaded Signal, according to data from the analytics firm Sensor Tower. The following week, as protests grew nationwide, there were 78,000 new downloads. In the first week of June, there were 183,000. (Rani Molla at Recode noted that downloads of Citizen, the community safety app, are also way up.)

Organizers have relied on Signal to devise action plans and develop strategies for handling possible arrests for several years. But as awareness of police monitoring continues to grow, protest attendees are using Signal to communicate with friends while out on the streets. The app uses end-to-end encryption, which means each message is scrambled so that it can only be deciphered by the sender and the intended recipient.

SMS texts are not encrypted, so those messages can be read easily off the servers and cell towers that transmit the data. WhatsApp is encrypted but owned by Facebook. Many activists believe the application is only as secure as Mark Zuckerberg’s convictions.

Signal has also already been tested. In 2016, the chat service withstood a subpoena request for its data. The only information it could provide was the date the accounts in question were created and when they had last used Signal. Signal does not store messages or contacts on its servers, so it cannot be forced to give copies of that information to the government.

Signal also allows users to set their messages to delete after a period of time. And last week, the app introduced a “blur” tool for photographs, which can be liabilities for protesters. Many organizers suggest attendees wear nondescript clothing and face coverings, because police have identified people from protest footage.

“I stood in front of a crowd of a few thousand people the other day and told them to wear as nondescript clothing as possible,” said Lilith Sinclair, 25, an Afro-Indigenous organizer who lives in Portland, Ore.

Cyprus to launch #SMS campaign to stem migrant arrivals

Cyprus is launching a multilingual SMS campaign to head off more migrant arrivals by dispelling the mistaken belief the European Union member country is a gateway to the continent, the Cypriot interior minister said Sunday.

Nicos Nouris told the Associated Press the text-message blitz aims to counter “disinformation” propagated by people traffickers that securing asylum status in Cyprus will grant would-be migrants a “passport” to other EU countries.

Nouris said arriving migrants are effectively “trapped” in Cyprus because the island nation isn’t part of the Schengen area — those 26 European nations that have abolished their borders and permit unrestricted travel between them.

The minister said Cyprus, with a population of roughly 880,000, has “by a wide margin” the largest number of migrants relative to its population in the 27-member bloc.

He said 3.8% of those living on Cyprus are asylum seekers, while that number is under 1% in other front-line EU states, like Greece, Italy, Spain and Malta.

It’s estimated that 25-30% of all migrants currently in Cyprus are refugees fleeing conflict.

According Asylum Service Statistics, Syrians filled the most asylum applications last year, followed by people from Georgia, India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Cameroon, Vietnam, Egypt, Nigeria and Sri Lanka.

Nouris had previously said that most migrants arrive to ethnically divided Cyprus’ breakaway north and cross a United Nations-controlled buffer zone to seek asylum in the internationally recognized south.

Meanwhile, Nouris said around 700 migrants will remain confined to a reception center on the outskirts of the capital Nicosia until a small scabies infestation there is completely eliminated.

The minister said he expects confinement measures to be lifted “soon” after all those with scabies have been treated.

The migrants were confined to the center since late March when the government enacted a strict, stay-at-home order to prevent the spread of the coronavirus. Those restrictions were lifted May 23, but the migrants weren’t allowed to leave the center.

Fillon coaché par les SMS pendant le débat TF1 : de la triche, pas de la com’ - Challenges.fr
▻https://www.challenges.fr/election-presidentielle-2017/fillon-coache-par-les-sms-pendant-le-debat-tf1-de-la-triche-pas-de-la-com

Durant le débat des candidats sur TF1, François Fillon a été conseillé à distance par sa communicante, via des SMS. Outre que le procédé est déloyal, il interroge sur les ratés de la communication du candidat Fillon.
[…]
Comme le dit Gérard Colé, « la communication politique, c’est comme la chirurgie esthétique, quand ça se voit, c’est que c’est raté ». Et on ajouterait, au regard de ce nouvel épisode encore accablant pour le tandem politico-communicationnel Fillon-Méaux, que lorsque l’on voit la triche, c’est encore plus raté, et que c’est même un peu la honte. Parce qu’à la fin des fins, et cela aussi doit être dit, que Le Parisien et Le Figaro aient pu être informés de cet élément déterminant, c’est la preuve que quelqu’un, quelque part, a vu l’entourloupe, et qu’il a jugé utile d’en avertir les journaux.

Si l’on excepte la seule séquence allant de l’annulation de la visite au Salon de l’Agriculture à la mise en scène du Trocadéro, pour le coup réussie, la communication Fillon est un lent et long naufrage, une interminable descente aux enfers, une suite de revers et travers, une série à montrer dans les années futures à tous les aspirants en communication politique. « La com’ de Fillon, c’est #House_of_tocards  » disent les méchantes langues dans tout Paris. Et tout cela pour une raison simple : cette communication s’est évertuée à faire de l’influence là où il fallait faire de l’image.

RaspiSMS 2.0, envoyer des SMS par internet avec la Raspberry Pi

▻http://raspbian-france.fr/raspisms-raspberry-pi-sms-internet

Une solution de SMS pour la Raspberry Pi

RaspiSMS, contraction de #Raspberry_Pi et #SMS, est une solution vous permettant d’envoyer et de recevoir des SMS avec la Raspberry Pi, ou tout autre ordinateur/serveur tournant sous Linux.

D’un point de vue utilisateur, RaspiSMS se présente comme un logiciel à installer sur une Raspberry Pi et auquel vous accédez via internet. Vous pouvez ainsi envoyer des SMS depuis un site internet !

En hébergeant vous même l’application, vous disposez ainsi de votre propre site internet d’envoi de SMS, vous assurant la confidentialité de vos données et la protection de votre vie privée !

Un logiciel libre développé par Raspbian France

À l’origine, RaspiSMS est issu du besoin de l’équipe de #Raspbian France d’envoyer des SMS via internet (pour une raison encore inconnue à ce jour, une bonne partie de la Dordogne semble avoir découvert internet mais pas les téléphones portables).

Ne trouvant que des solutions payantes pour envoyer des SMS par internet, nous avons décidé de développer notre propre #logiciel ! Et plutôt que de faire un simple script en lignes de commande qui ne réponde qu’à nos propres besoins, nous avons choisi de créer une véritable application web et de la distribuer gratuitement et librement à la communauté, sous licence GNU/GPL3 !

#Authentification du site web de la #CAF

Ce que je trouve bizarre ici, c’est la [nouvelle] procédure de récupération du mot de passe par #SMS en cas de perte, et l’appel de la CAF à relier les comptes en ligne personnels des bénéficiaires à leur numéro de portable.

▻http://www.caf.fr/vies-de-famille/changement-de-situation/changement-familial/du-nouveau-dans-votre-espace-mon-compte

La nouveauté concerne la procédure d’#authentification. Celle-ci est simplifiée. Désormais, vous devez modifier le mot de passe initial, car il n’est valide que deux mois. Comme le choix vous appartient, vous avez plus de chances de le retenir et donc de gagner du temps. Ce code est strictement personnel. Il ne vous est jamais demandé par votre caisse. Celle-ci a uniquement besoin de votre numéro d’allocataire pour vous identifier. Et si vous l’oubliez, vous pourrez désormais recevoir un code temporaire par #SMS ; plus rapide et plus pratique que d’attendre un courrier ! Pensez donc à renseigner votre numéro de portable dans « Mon Compte ».

▻http://www.caf.fr/ma-caf/caf-de-la-reunion/actualites

- je crée mon mot de passe
C’est vous qui créez et décidez de votre mot de passe et de ses 8 chiffres . Mais pour des raisons de sécurité, il ne peut pas être composé de 8 chiffres identiques ou successifs , de 8 chiffres correspondant à une date de naissance ou un téléphone figurant dans votre dossier, les 8 premiers chiffres de votre NIR, de votre numéro allocataire...

– j’indique mon numéro de portable
En cas de perte ou d’oubli de votre mot de passe, plus besoin d’attendre de le recevoir par courrier : un #SMS vous est envoyé immédiatement et vous permet de poursuivre vos démarches en ligne ! Voilà pourquoi il est important de renseigner votre numéro de portable sur www.caf.fr et de le mettre à jour à chaque changement.

Edward #Snowden interview : ’Smartphones can be taken over’

Mr Snowden also explained that the #SMS message sent by the agency to gain access to the phone would pass unnoticed by the handset’s owner.

“It’s called an ’exploit’,” he said. “That’s a specially crafted message that’s texted to your number like any other text message but when it arrives at your phone it’s hidden from you. It doesn’t display. You paid for it [the phone] but whoever controls the software owns the phone.”

#Smartphone users can do “very little” to stop security services getting “total control” over their devices, US whistleblower Edward Snowden has said.

Chômage : la hausse indéchiffrable
▻http://www.lemonde.fr/emploi/article/2015/06/24/chomage-la-hausse-indechiffrable_4661062_1698637.html

Et un bug de plus. Les statistiques du chômage pour le mois de mai, rendues publiques mercredi 24 juin, ont encore progressé. De combien ? La réponse est tout sauf évidente car la collecte des données a été affectée par un « événement inhabituel » qui amène Pôle emploi et le ministère du travail à divulguer plusieurs chiffres.
[…]
Cette fois, le pépin est différent : le nombre de personnes qui sont sorties des listings de Pôle emploi pour ne pas avoir mis à jour leur dossier a diminué dans des proportions atypiques. « Si les comportements d’actualisation des demandeurs d’emploi avaient été identiques à ceux habituellement observés », le nombre de chômeurs sans aucune activité (catégorie A) se serait accru de 7 000 à 10 000 en métropole au mois de mai, indique le ministre du travail, François Rebsamen, dans un communiqué de presse (contre +26 200 en avril). Si cette opération de correction n’est pas faite, la hausse s’avère plus importante : +16 200, ce qui porte le total à un peu plus de 3, 552 millions de personnes, un nouveau record.

Pouf, pouf, il m’a bien fallu 10 minutes pour comprendre ce dernier paragraphe.

En clair, il y a eu un effondrement des radiations et, donc une hausse d’autant du chômage. Au lieu d’aligner les chiffres, il faudrait nous fournir des éléments d’explications de cet événement atypique : modification du comportement (ce serait bizarre !), grève perlée des agents qui cesseraient de radier,… Ce n’est qu’au vu de ce contexte que l’on peut décider s’il faut « neutraliser » ou pas cet événement.

De ce point de vue, la comparaison (rituelle) avec le « bug SFR » n’a aucun intérêt, puisque dans ce cas, la cause de l’événement avait tout de suite été identifiée, justifiant la correction. Là, rien ! c’est bizarre.
