Microsoft on Friday provided a peek at a comprehensive framework that aims to sort out the Domain Name System (DNS) mess so that it’s better locked down inside Windows networks. It’s called ZTDNS (zero trust DNS). Its two main features are (1) encrypted and cryptographically authenticated connections between end-user clients and DNS servers and (2) the ability for administrators to tightly restrict the domains these servers will resolve.

Amazing, a X (formerly known as Twitter) poster who will go unnamed is in their 7th month of claiming October 7th was a false flag, sourcing entirely western news sources especially Haaretz in their new Substack
I can forgive confusion right off the bat, and little a “wow this reminds me of 9/11” as a treat, but letting your defeatism intensify after the last few weeks is jawdroppingly uninformed.

Police Treatment of a Dartmouth Professor Stirs Anger and Debate A video showing Annelise Orleck, 65, being taken to the ground intensified criticism of the decision by the college’s president to call in officers. By Vimal Patel
The video is jarring: A gray-haired woman tumbles, gets up to reach for her phone, held by police officers, and is yanked and taken to the ground. “Are you kidding me?” a bystander asks.
“What are they doing to her?” another adds.
Annelise Orleck, a labor historian who has taught at Dartmouth College for more than three decades, was at a protest for Palestinians in Gaza on Wednesday night, when she was knocked to the ground. Dr. Orleck, 65, was zip-tied and was one of 90 people who were arrested, according to the local police.
The professor walked away with a case of whiplash. But a short video clip of the episode flew around the internet, intensifying the debate over the relatively swift decision by Dartmouth’s president, Sian Leah Beilock, to call in police to arrest students and clear out an encampment.
Unlike other campuses where tents were tolerated for days, the police action at Dartmouth began a little more than two hours after the encampment first appeared, according to the college’s newspaper, The Dartmouth, and students who observed the events on Wednesday.
Dr. Beilock defended her decision.
“Last night, people felt so strongly about their beliefs that they were willing to face disciplinary action and arrest,” Dr. Beilock said in a message to campus on Thursday. “While there is bravery in that, part of choosing to engage in this way is not just acknowledging — but accepting — that actions have consequences.”
Dr. Beilock did not directly address the treatment of Dr. Orleck, who called the message “outrageous.” …

The Onion unfortunately does miss like with one of their favorites, from GWB’s inauguration: “nation’s long nightmare of peace and prosperity is finally over” writing a glowing ovation of Clinton rather than criticize Bush seriously. Liberals never miss a chance to miss the point
Israel ‘too cowardly’ to respond to Iran’s retaliatory strikes: Yemen’s Ansarullah https://www.presstv.ir/Detail/2024/05/03/724874/Yemen-Ansarullah-resistance-movement-Israel-too-cowardly-Iran-strikes
Extraordinary story that just happened in France ahead of Xi Jinping’s visit, straight out of a spy novel, and that very much looks like an attempt to disrupt the visit.
Yesterday, one of the flagship programs of French TV, Envoyé Spécial, published a report where they show an alleged “clandestine operation of the Chinese police in Paris” in which there is an attempt to forcibly repatriate a Chinese “dissident” back to China. This is the trailer for the show: x.com/EnvoyeSpecial/status/1…
However, the Chinese embassy in France just published the most extraordinary (never seen a statement like this by a Chinese embassy anywhere) and detailed rebuttal to the story. It’s here in French: (http://fr.china-embassy.gov.cn/fra/zfzj/202405/t20240502_11292331.htm Let me translate it in full:"On the evening of May 1, France 2 broadcasted a report based on lies and a completely fabricated narrative in which two Chinese diplomats were accused of 'forcibly repatriating a dissident. The magazine Challenges also published a report on the same case. The Chinese Embassy wishes to express its strongest protest against this report and intends to publish the facts to restore the truth.
The so-called ‘dissident,’ a certain Ling Huazhan, arrived clandestinely in France in September 2023, traveling through the Netherlands and Germany. In October 2023, he received an expulsion order from France from the police of the ninth district of Paris for disrupting the normal operation of several Chinese restaurants in the district. At the end of January 2024, GHU Paris psychiatry & neurosciences contacted the Chinese Embassy stating that they were treating a Chinese national (whose identity as Ling Huazhan was confirmed) who wanted to commit suicide. However, when the Embassy was discussing this matter with the hospital, Ling Huazhan voluntarily left the hospital on February 15.
On March 4, Ling Huazhan approached the consular service of the Chinese Embassy. According to him, he had been deceived into participating in activities of the “Falungong” cult and now realized that he had made mistakes. […]
