    Today thirty years ago I defended my [PhD thesis](https://www.cs.ru.nl/~jhh/publications.html#thesis). A little more than a month before, my son was born. And five days after his birth my father died. Three life-changing events compressed in thirty nine days. That somehow triggered the journey that took me here, now, thirty years later. To this amazing state of being. I still cannot believe this all to be real.

    Mooi opiniestuk Jos Palm in NRC vandaag: “Een cruciale eerste stap is in ieder geval de depolitisering van de Holocaust door het ondubbelzinnig veroordelen van de Israëlische oorlogsmisdaden door onze regering. Dat zou een mooi begin zijn, belangrijker voor de bestrijding van het groeiende antisemitisme dan de ongetwijfeld welgemeende zorgen die politici erover uitspreken.” https://www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2026/05/04/israel-bombardeert-de-herinnering-aan-de-holocaust-kapot-a4926627?gift_token=4926627~...

    Kabinet wil 7 ton uittrekken om &amp;quot;de Joodse gemeenschap nog beter [te] beschermen en het veiligheidsgevoel van Joden [te] versterken&amp;quot;. Heel goed. Antisemitisme moet absoluut bestreden worden. https://nos.nl/artikel/2611505-letschert-onder-vuur-om-aanpak-pro-palestinaprotest-op-universiteit-maastricht

    Privacy-adviseur BZK slaat alarm om overname DigiD | de Volkskrant https://digitalekrant.volkskrant.nl/volkskrant/2766/article/2494306/4/2/render/?token=b56656082a58573dcfef3947f3995fef

    European governments are getting WhatsApp and Signal out of their system: https://www.politico.eu/article/european-civil-servants-new-messaging-services/ Sounds great. Until you realise that if politicians and officials get to use their own end-2-end encrypted communication app, there is very little stopping them from backdooring Signal and Whatsapp. Remember that state security risks were the main reason why Dutch intelligence opposed client side scanning!

    Online age assurance raises thorny questions. (And privacy is not really one of them.) https://blog.xot.nl/2026/04/09/online-age-assurance-raises-thorny-questions/index.html
