Errm, I suppose this is happening all around the world. Even if not Apple or Google, all those apps that ask for your location - even if you say "only when using app" - might be potential privacy leaks.

Aha ha ha - well, it made me smile! Seems you could make a NAIll-bot® but where would the fun be in that...

The Bluesky auto caption already came up with: "A picture of Elon Musk looking ridiculous at a racecourse with a shiny green hat and tie, captioned Happy St Patrick's Day. Musk has no known Irish connections"

And let this be a reminder that the best teams in the planet can get caught offguard by issues.

In 2021, ALL of Meta (Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger) went fully down for 6 hours.

Not partial degradation, like today on Amazon... fullly down

IMO there's a strong case in UK for a universal, secure & easy method to prove name/address digitally. All paper methods, other than passports, are weak & not auser friendly. Whether it's linked to passport or identity card (though I've never understood diff) or something new doesn't matter to me

Threat Modeling Guide for Software Teams Threat modeling is a risk based approach to cyber security requirements analysis.

NEW POST

Threat modeling need not be a specialized activity. Gayathri Mohan and @jimgumbley.com update his 2020 article explaining how dev teams can do this little and often - and how it can be applied to platform teams.

On the plus side Piet you can usually playback at 2x - I've even got a JS hack that runs YouTube at 3x which is just about sustainable if you reaalllly focus

Last-minute turnaround, as reported by Forbes

CVE or MITRE *really* needs to get funding elsewhere than the US government, to ensure stability, after this incident tho...

This could have been very very bad www.forbes.com/sites/kateof...

Glorious weather to be spending time inside in London today 😂 #ocw

When I last looked into this I concluded there was nothing generic that was totally predictable - even .local had assumptions by some devices. So I've always gone for a subdomain of one I own.

Didn't take long then. Just bask in the luxury of a timeline which isn't full of spam... yet...

@vscode.dev Given this domain name is registered to Microsoft & has VScode web on it I assume this is an official account for the MS product team. Would be worth making your profile more like it is on the old place tho'

They should put a "switch back to classic" button at the top of the new one ASAP & then start measuring how long users stay in new before clicking it - same as Microsoft did with "new Outlook"

I'm not against the spirit of some of what Oracle is trying to do, such as groups for making SRs private from teams that don't need to see them, but you wonder if they realise exactly how vital MOS is to some people's work

I've had exactly the same discussions with a customer's Oracle team. I'm assuming all customers were inflicted with this in one go - why didn't they do some A/B testing?

That’s why we don’t build infrastructure prematurely. Shipping crap as infrastructure is the quickest way to destroy a large company especially if you enforce the said infrastructure is in the critical path for wide use as the only option.

Yes, had my finger poised over an M3 MBP a year ago but still can't bring myself to pay the premium. Lovely hardware though.

Have never run db in WSL2 but like the idea. To make it a bit more spicy though I've got my eye on a new Snapdragon ThinkPad, so let's see... WSL2 presumably works (Surface has Snap), then would need OL/RHEL on ARM, then a 23ai ARM RPM - not much to go wrong there 🤔

That's impressive. WSL2 with native filesystem, not WSL1 I assume? And installed as container in podman?

I'm not sure what's worse: something like this where you wonder what was wrong with the old logo, or a company spending $10m for someone to make their logo slightly bolder? 🤔

That, or something about sFTP transfers which, contrary to the rumours, will probably outlive me too 🤔🤣

You would have thought so wouldn't you, but no (just some git & WSL funny business today). If Bluesky is still around it'll probably be the subject of my last ever post too 😂

My first post on Bluesky: grrr, I know there's all the teletype history, but how much wasted human effort has CRLF vs LF cost?! 👿

For me a "connection" has to be someone I've interacted with (F2F or online) otherwise what's the point?
