[LINK] Telstra, Optus to start censoring the web next month
I wonder how long it will take till they are going to push this censoring and legitimate sites they deem inappropriate and get filtered. I guess they think if no one complains, they can add more to it at a later date and block more sites and stuff till someone does complain about the filtering. And this filter in my honest opinion is for the computer illiterate and the parents that are to lazy to keep an eye on there children whilst on the computer or to have the computer in a family area to better keep an eye on the children’s doings on the computer and the internet.
MOST Australian internet users will have their web access censored next month after the country’s two largest internet providers agreed to voluntarily block more than 500 websites from view. Telstra and Optus confirmed they would block access to a list of child abuse websites provided by the Australian Communications and Media Authority and more compiled by unnamed international organisations from mid-year.
But internet experts have warned that the scheme is merely a “feel-good policy” that will not stop criminals from accessing obscene material online and could block websites unfairly.
Amateur Radio VK callsign lookup
With a friends (thx darkrose) help last night you’ll have noticed that there is a ‘VK callsign lookup‘ search bar widget to the right. All it does is to make looking up callsigns from the ACMA websign little faster and lot less confusing. Anyways here is a copy of the code if you like to add it to your site.
HTML version:
With the HTML version you can type in the url bar for example search.html?callsign
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
function popupform(myform, windowname)
{
if (! window.focus)return true;
window.open('', windowname, 'height=480,width=800,toolbar=no,statusbar=no,scrollbars=yes');
myform.target=windowname;
return true;
}
//-->
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form action="http://web.acma.gov.au/pls/radcom/register_search.search_dispatcher" onSubmit="popupform(this, 'join')" method="POST">
<input type="hidden" name="pSEARCH_TYPE" value="Licences" />
<input type="text" name="pQRY" id="pQRY" />
<input type="submit" value="Search" />
</form>
<script type="application/x-javascript">
window.onload = function() {
var l = window.location.toString();
var v = l.indexOf('?');
if (v < 0)
return;
l = l.substr(v+1);
if (l && l.length) {
var v = document.getElementById('pQRY');
v.value = l;
v.parentNode.submit();
}
}
</script>
</form>
</body>
</html>
WordPress version:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
function popupform(myform, windowname)
{
if (! window.focus)return true;
window.open('', windowname, 'height=480,width=800,toolbar=no,statusbar=no,scrollbars=yes');

[LINK] The first NBN connections in Willunga SA
Will good to see how all theses trials of the NBN is going to pan out.
With SA’s first connections from today in Willunga, NBNCo is starting a test process with a small number of residents before its trial is extended to about 100 Willunga premises over the next two months.
Connecting to Internode’s IPv6 on Debian
You will first need the client program found in the Debian called ‘gogoc‘, if you want to use ‘router‘ mode you’ll also need to install ‘radvd‘ too which is also available in Debian.
Edit the ‘/etc/gogoc/gogoc.conf‘ file to suit:
userid=yourinternodeusername passwd=yourinternodepassword server=sixgw.internode.on.net auth_method=any host_type=router prefixlen=64 if_prefix=yournormalinterface dns_server=192.231.203.132 gw6_dir=/usr/local/gw6c auto_retry_connect=yes retry_delay=30 keepalive=yes keepalive_interval=30 tunnel_mode=v6anyv4 if_tunnel_v6v4=gif0 if_tunnel_v6udpv4=tun0 if_tunnel_v4v6= client_v4=auto client_v6=auto template=linux proxy_client=no broker_list=tsp-broker-list.txt last_server=tsp-last-server.txt always_use_same_server=no log_filename=gw6c.log log_rotation=yes log_rotation_size=32 log_rotation_delete=no syslog_facility=USER
When you first start gogoc it will try to make a secured connection to the Internode tunnel broker. The problem is that when you run gogoc for the first time it will fail with ‘Not starting gogoc - no server key ... (warning). failed!‘ cause it was unable to accept the server key from Internode. This means that we have to run gogoc from command line, like this:
# gogoc -n sixgw.internode.on.net is an unknown host, do you want to add its key?? (Y/N) y ^C
Now you should be able to start ‘gogoc‘ as a deamon now with
# invoke-rc.d gogoc start
Testing it all works:
To see that you have an active tunnel working from command line, like this:
# ifconfig | egrep '(Link|inet6)'
and you should get an output something like this:
...
tun Link encap:UNSPEC HWaddr 00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00
inet6 addr: 2001:44b8:61::239/128 Scope:Global
now you should be able point your web browser to see the swimming turtle at http://www.kame.net/, also you should be able to see your IPv6 address here at Internode’s IPv6

[How to] Change default search engine in Iceweasel (Firefox)
Type in the URL bar ‘about:config‘ and search for ‘keyword.url‘ and modify the ‘Value‘ from
http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&sourceid=navclient&gfns=1&q=
to your preferred search engine, for me I changed it to Duck Duck Go
https://duckduckgo.com/?q=
You can find a full list of available parameters here to have a more custom search string
https://duckduckgo.com/?kl=au-en&kp=-1&q=
Now all there is left to do is restart Iceweasel (Firefox) and enjoy the new default search engine you can use from the URL bar
Duck Duck Go
Well yesterday when I was stuffing around with my mobile phone I was doing update etc I looked to see what was new in the fdroid repository and stumbled across a new search engine called ‘Duck Duck Go‘ and go by the motto ‘We don’t track you!‘, which I found rather interesting as who doesn’t want to track you in this digital age. Anyways I have started to use Duck Duck Go (DDG) as my prefer search engine for awhile to see how they are as I am sort of getting annoyed with Google(but that another story).
What is DuckDuckGo?
DuckDuckGo is a search engine. Use it to get way more instant answers, way less spam, real privacy and we believe a much better overall search experience. See our about page for more.Do you track me, i.e. can my searches be tied to me?
No – we do not store any personal information, e.g. IP addresses or user agents: see our privacy policy for details. We also have an encrypted (SSL) version, two non-JS versions (HTML & lite), a Tor hidden service (about), several privacy settings (including POST & RefControl), and we allow you to use URL parameters instead of cookies to store settings.
Read more about there above quoted information here
There plug-ins available for Firefox etc here, and the Android DDG search bar is available here
