It annoys me when I see people use the phrase "Cyber 9/11" or "Cyber Pearl Harbour". Its disrespectful to those who died or were injured in these real events and also reeks of the FUD factor, something we need to move away from in cybersecurity. Cyberrisks are real without sensationalising them

Given I'm en-route to the port, and it's supposed to depart in 260 mins, I really hope so!

According to the other site, it's still going... (Larne route isn't)

Save the EU Ad Libraries Meta may soon switch off ad libraries in the EU and remove data going back to 2018. Help ensure this data is archived for research.

Google just wiped EU data from its political ad library. Meta’s ban on political ads in the EU starts soon and we're worried they might do the same.

We need a backup of the EU Meta Ad Library now. If you have data (2018–present) or skills to help, let us know:

My favourite thing about this (old) Reddit thread about how to respectfully store your flag was the 100+ photos in the replies of people’s flags, shoved in crumpled Albert Heijn carrier bags and chucked in junk-filled cupboards.

In early 2025, beaver activity in the Brdy Protected Landscape Area, Czech Republic, contributed to the restoration of a wetland ecosystem. A family of beavers constructed a series of dams that coincidentally accomplished environmental goals of the Czech government, which had delayed its proposed project since 2018 for bureaucratic and financial reasons. The beaver-built dams saved the Czech government approximately US$1.2 million,

Don’t forget that a decent amount of online political discourse is manufactured by bots purpose-built to start arguments.

Doggy Day 'Weekend' at Ilkley Lido Don't miss out on this unique opportunity for your dogs to enjoy a refreshing dip in our outdoor pool. The cafe will be open, selling warm drinks and refreshments Saturday 12th & Sunday 13th Oc...

I'd check with Ilkley if they'll run this again. www.yourilkley.com/events/event...
Bonus stop at Betty's for takeaway cakes.

Brungerley Park and the Ribble are popular over Clitheroe/Waddington way.

It's a shame Nelson's outdoor pool closed.

Blue Team Con has a sober board game room with mocktails at the same time as the big party for people who don’t want to be around loud music or alcohol! 🤩

Why doesn’t every con do this?

Watched something on Prime yesterday (DE sub, but in NL), they have turned on ads, have to pay an additional fee to have them removed.
I'd heard this happened in the UK, but didn't think they'd do it in Europe.

Thanks in advance for sharing this in your networks. My hopes are that some way or another, my appeal will be reviewed by a human. If you know anybody I should speak to, or can think of anything useful to do at this stage, do let me know.
