Am Sonntag 28. Mai 2023 demonstrierten unter dem Motto „Deutschland steht auf“ rund 2.800 Menschen aus dem verschwörungsideologischen Spektrum von „Querdenken“ und „Die Weißen“ in Neustadt an der Weinstraße. Die Versammlung war zunächst aus Sicherheitsgründen verboten worden. Etwa 1.500 Teilnehmenden wurde gestattet weiter bis zum Hambacher Schloss zu ziehen. Das lokale Bündnis gegen Rechts mobilisierte etwa 110 Menschen zu einer Gegenkundgebung am Buswendeplatzes des Schlosses mit dem Titel „Neustadt Demokratisch Bunt statt Weißem Einheitsbrei“. Die Polizei sicherte die Aufzugstrecke und die Kundgebungen ab. Es wurden sieben Anzeigen wegen Beleidigung und eine wegen Verwendung von Kennzeichen verfassungswidriger Organisationen aufgenommen.
In truth, the Library includes all verbal structures, all variations permitted by the
twenty-five orthographical symbols, but not a single example of absolute nonsense. It is useless
to observe that the best volume of the many hexagons under my administration is entitled The
Combed Thunderclap and another The Plaster Cramp and another Axaxaxas mlö. These
phrases, at first glance incoherent, can no doubt be justified in a cryptographical or allegorical
manner; such a justification is verbal and, ex hypothesi, already figures in the Library. I cannot
combine some characters
dhcmrlchtdj
which the divine Library has not foreseen and which in one of its secret tongues do not
contain a terrible meaning.
I was in the RAF from Nov 1993 to Dec 2000. These pictures are from my trade training days at RAF Locking near Weston-Super-Mare, 9 Feb 1994 - 1 Aug 1994. I was on course TCO 114.
At RAF Locking I was trained as a Telecommunications Operator (TCO). A TCO mainly worked in Communication Centres or Signals Unit's, operating a variety of telegraphic, cryptographic, radio, and Morse equipment. TCO's were also trained as Telephonists where they worked in station telephone exchanges. TCO's could also serve in a field comms role at Tactical Communications Wing (TCW) RAF Brize Norton, a role in which I served in early 1998.
I later returned to RAF Locking in 1997 to undertake my Morse course (3 Mar 1997 - 10 Jun 1997); I was on QMC 41.
The operational units I served at were:
RAF Waddington
TCW, RAF Brize Norton (detached to Bahrain)

I believe this is a rotor used in a "bombe" that was used to decrypt codes during World War II.

An observation from someone who is not an expert in cryptography: Cryptography is about converting order (a written or spoken message) to disorder (an encrypted communication with no clear patterns) and vice versa. Thus, I find it interesting that a number of tools for cryptography—especially prior to the digital age—have a physical order or pattern.

For centuries cryptography was used to ensure information secrecy and safe communication. Historically, queer people have had to use various codes and signals to indicate their sexual orientation to each other without being put in danger. Tele_Code aims to shine a light on these hidden parts of history. Inspired by Anne Lister, who used a substitution cypher to write about her relationships with women within her almost 5 million word diaries, the single-player video game takes the player into a maze full of encoded teletext pages, where they must find hints that reveal parts of the cypher and unlock the secret last page.

Normal daily life along a different timeline - which we cannot find - but have the feeling that it exists - but

Quantum computing represents a groundbreaking advancement in technology, deeply intertwined with the concepts of superposition, entanglement, and interference from quantum physics. Unlike classical computing, which processes information in a linear fashion using bits (0s and 1s), quantum computing utilizes quantum bits or qubits that can exist in multiple states simultaneously. This enables quantum computers to perform numerous calculations at once, effectively navigating through a vast landscape of potential solutions.
The idea of parallel timelines can be likened to the way quantum computers operate. Each decision or computation can be viewed as branching into multiple outcomes, similar to how different timelines might unfold based on various choices. This means that a quantum computer can explore various paths to a solution simultaneously, leading to remarkable efficiencies in solving complex problems.
In practical terms, this capability could revolutionize fields such as cryptography, where quantum computers may break existing encryption methods faster than classical computers. In material science, they could simulate quantum phenomena to discover new materials with desirable properties. Additionally, in optimization problems across various industries, quantum computing offers the potential to find the most efficient solutions more rapidly than traditional methods.
In summary, the link between quantum computing and the concept of parallel timelines highlights a fascinating intersection of technology and theoretical physics, suggesting that our understanding of reality may be more complex and interconnected than we previously imagined.

The Far Eastern Combined Bureau (FECB) was responsible for collecting naval intelligence in the Indian Ocean and the Pacific. Since it had few if any agents in place, in practice this intelligence gathering was limited to radio direction finding and an attempt to decrypt signals.
On 5 January 1942 the Naval Section of the FECB was evacuated from Singapore, with the loss of much equipment, including a Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs Type B Cipher Machine, and all of its documentation. The FECB effectively dissolved from that moment, and the loss of the documents has helped to wipe its few achievements from memory.
In January 1943 about half the former FECB naval staff reassembled at its new headquarters in the Anderson Golf Club house, just outside Colombo, and took the name HMS Anderson. They were joined by a group of fledgling cryptanalysts fresh from training in Bletchly Park, among whom was my father. The other half of the FECB staff was established in the Alidina school in Kilindini outside Mombasa, becoming HMS Alindina.
In the autumn of that year the Hut 7 team in Bletchley Park was given more time on the Block C Hollerith equipment to work on Japanese navy material.
In September the cryptanalysis based at Kilindini were moved to HMS Anderson, where they were joined by more cryptographers from the UK and by WRNS responsible for radio direction finding. The WRNS had been instructed to tell anyone who asked what they were doing that they were engaged in the radio detection of blood-stains.
My father served as a cryptanalysist at HMS Anderson from the time it opened to the time he and the other cryptanalysists were evacuated back to Kilindini in Kenya. It was in Celon that he met both my mother-to-be - one of the WRNS stationed at HMS Anderson - and Charles Bawden, an interpreter who later became my uncle, marrying my mother's sister Jean.
This is not my photo. I don't know where it comes from originally.
Bletchley Park in Buckinghamshire, was long the top secret centre for government intelligence. Its radio interception was decisive in the fight against Hitler in the Second World War.
This part of the Colossus machine deals with the optical tape reading data and stores five characters so that a constant shift comparison can be made electronically, thus reducing the number of trips the tape has to make to arrive at a solution.
I have marked the optical reader light source with a picture note.

I couldn't leave the kids like that, Bruce and Tim would kill me if I did. it wasn't long until Tim made his way back up, and we got everybody upright to sort this crap out. Dionaea left some plant-esque crap behind, which Tim collected some of and did some tests with a cryptographic sensor and was glued to the thing, while Roy was just smirking in the corner.
What are you so happy about Roy?
"I called it. when we were leaving Ace Chemicals, I said it was KGBeast, and you bet a month of patrols that it wasn't."
Well celebrate later. Dionaea's plant-residue has left a trail around Gotham, and guess where it finishes up?

Quadratic Voting (QV) aims to bring the efficiency of markets to collective decision making by pricing rather than rationing votes. The proposal has attracted substantial interest and controversy in economics, law, philosophy and beyond. The goal of this conference is to evaluate the promise of Quadratic Voting and to stimulate research on QV from a broad range of perspectives. Leading scholars from disciplines ranging from classics to cryptography will present their work on diverse issues related to QV, including the history of the ideas behind it, practical implementation for market research surveys, objections to the use of money in politics and how QV might have averted political disasters in history. The conference papers will be published in a special issue of Public Choice in 2017, following up on a parallel special issue forty years prior on the use of the Vickrey-Clarke-Groves mechanism for collective decisions.

Here is the rear of The Bombe, a device for automating the process of cracking the Nazi Enigma code. Numerous enigma code wheels were arranged so that when moved by the electric motor, current was passed through their innards to operate relays. When a solution was found the machine stopped and the operator could then set a real Enigma machine to the same code wheel settings in order decipher the coded message.
The name Bombe arises from the relentless ticking sound that the machine made, leading operators to remark that it sounded like a time bomb waiting to go off.
