-attitude without strategy
-common complaints against China:
discriminatory trade barriers, forced technology transfer, militarization of outposts in the South China Sea, pressure on Taiwan, human rights and religious freedom, government-sponsored cyber-enabled economic espionage, and Chinese interference in other countries’ political systems.
Very odd, it is, that a day after Canada issues a travel advisory against China for arbitrary arrest, and the possibility of a death sentence for drug-related crimes, that China would issue a tit-for-tat government advisory as well. This has occurred due to the arrest of Huawei’s CFO Meng Wanzhou due to an extradition request from the US. Her extradition hearing is scheduled for 2019 Feb 05.
After close to a month, where two Canadians were arbitrarily arrested in China, the Government of Canada has updated their travel advisory. Better late than never.
Latest updates: Risk level(s) – risk of arbitrary enforcement of local laws; Laws and culture – death penalty, penalties for drug-related offences
Government of Canada issues new travel advisory to China for arbitrary arrest, death penalty, 2019-jan-14

This Imperial sewing machine Model 171 is complex machine, but pretty versatile. It uses 20 different plastic cams that lets the sewing machine do 20 different sewing patterns. The front also has a button hole option.
As usual, this Imperial looks like it weights a ton, so please be careful when lifting. Fortunately this model version is built into a small cabinet and therefore only needs to rotate up and into place.
Ikea JANSJÖ desk lamps are inexpensive LED lamps that have excellent light, a solid base and flexible neck, but the switches may make the light flicker.
I have two from Ikea and use them with my computer. The light they cast is a pretty pleasing combination of blue and yellow, neither too much of either. They are also very reliable, with the exception of the light switch. These were thrown out because they would not turn on. The issue was the utter cheapness of these switches.
Find the VPN at http://www.vpngate.net/en/. Filter by OpenVPN only. Look at the transfer rate. Might also see if the IP is responding.
https://www.kabatology.com/05/09/ubuntu-connect-to-vpn-gate-with-openvpn/ Download the OpenVPN file and open it. Cut out the sections between the tags, including the “begin” and “end” certificate. Create a separate directory for each gate. Save as “ca.crt”.
In Ubuntu Edit Connections > Network Connections > add > Open VPN > create. Fill in the form from top to bottom, or the form won’t work. Might want to add the domain name to the label. Choose “password”, vpn, vpn, add the location of the ca.crt file, Save, try.
Here I am with some idle time, found a hacking article on G&M, which led me to some pretty scary hacking tools (malware creation tools) which led me to nikto which led me to WebScarab. Yes, confusing, but I am trying to stay White Hat.
That said, I could not find much on how to install WebScarab. It is older, with no clear install instructions, other than here’s the zip file, install it. WebScarab is written in java, so you can run it from Terminal. I could not figure out how to put it into a launcher.
177.234.9.186 has no host name, but the owner name comes back as: SECRETARIA DE COMUNICACIONES Y TRANSPORTES COORDINACION DE LA SOCIEDAD DE LA INFORMACION Y EL CONOCI
Google translates this to: Secretariat of Communications and Transportation COORDINATION OF INFORMATION SOCIETY AND KNEW
This sounds like a division of the Mexican Government
