  15. Apparently you can fool some with even less: https://www.theguardian.com/uk...

  16. Yes I hear you, I guess that this whole database where created way before we even had protected citizens so it was kind of slapped on top in order to not have to rebuild the entire dependency chain (witness protection is quite new here and even the concept of hidden personal details for police and military is not more than a few decades old). After all this is a country where the previous King used to make daily runs in a public park in Stockholm without any form of escort or protection.

  17. Since the database is public, criminals could use it to find the home address of police officers if there where no flag that would refuse to answer that lookup. Same for foreign agencies trying to map out the home address of all military officers (and we have already our hands full of the so called Polish Painter salesmen doing just that [one of the risks of living so near Russia]).

  18. Well for starters our witness protection program is quite small, we don't have that large amount of organized crime as some countries and due to the small size and population most of the people in the program is sent to other countries, but even so since even people in the program needs drivers licenses and passports they are in the system, albeit under their new name, but that is just how things work over here with our national id. Without a national id you cannot do shit here (you cannot work, you cannot even lend books at a library) so they must be in the system in order to be able to function.

    Normally this is not a problem since all the people handing this data is under the scrutiny of the security police (SÄPO) and need to have their security clearances renewed constantly so the there is a slim chance of the data getting into the wrong hands (of course the systems is not perfect) but when they outsourced the whole IT operations to IBM, IBM send the whole shit to their teams in eastern Europe, i.e not only to foreigners but also to people without security clearance.

    But that is the second issue, the first issue was that the people in the witness program had a label on their entry in the database that marked them as non-public and there where an isolated incident where the agency sent out their details to marketers by mistake and then when they discovered their mistake they emailed out "oh please forget peoples a,b and c that you received earlier". While the initial incident was the leak they gave people an exact list of everyone on the witness protection program in their attempt to clean up their mess... Since this agency also handles new car registrations they have an e-mail service where people and companies can subscribe to changes (the car ownership database is public records and you can lookup ever car on their website at https://fu-regnr.transportstyr...)

    Yeah because no journalist ever have any form of agenda right? The problem here is that I'm a white native Swede and I have been to this areas while also having several police officers in the family. Of course I'm just a anonymous person on the Internet but I can assure you that there exists no such thing as a no-go zone in Sweden, the very second some one would kill a police officer here they would find themselves fucked royally, the police outguns the criminals to almost infinity, this is not the US where everyone and their uncle have a gun.

    Does that out of the box on my Ubuntu on spinning rust, so hardly anything spectacular.

  21. They have no information on people on the witness protection program. But they have the drivers license database, and people in witness protection have drivers licenses so they are in there. So if you are looking for one of them you can search through the pictures until you find who you are looking for which is the problem.

    No that is not what happened at all. There exists zero no-go zones in Sweden.

    If you execute "/etc/init.d/script" then you execute the script with your shell and not with systemd. This is why i.e upstart required you to make a link from /etc/init.d/script to /lib/init/upstart-job so that upstart could execute the script regardless of location, systemd does not do this so you have to explain further how systemd could interfere with your script if you executed it directly with bash.

    This is no different from all the thousands of other project where distributions change the default by supplying their own configurations or patching the project in question. Since the maintainers on Ubuntu have decided to not change the default behaviour of journalctl then they have decided that this way is not shitty but better. You obviously does not agree, but then no one is forcing you to either. Myself I have yet to form an opinion on the matter, sometimes I think that it's better and sometimes I think that it's worse and when I find it to be worse, I use the "--no-pager" option to disable it.
