Watched the latest The Witcher series. Not a fan of the recast :/

Having an inhome electric monitoring display thingy is bad and addictive.

Finally got my act together and setup a Pixelfed instance to get my ass properly off Instagram. Feel free to go poke!

Is it known if any other services are using Edgio backed CDN, or the Microsoft CDN on the azureedge.net domain ? Specifically thnking things like App Insights, VSTS Agent and AzCopy download urls, Powershell Gallery links and such.

Having a quick look through learn none of them are detailed.

Nope. They still wouldn’t read it.

Microsoft has serious questions to answer after what could be the biggest IT outage in history There are questions too for anyone whose livelihood depends on IT products made by an increasingly powerful oligopoly of tech companies.

And the worst most stupid reporting reward goes to Sky News. Who just assume that Microsoft control ALL updates to the platform. Of course. Everything *must* go through them. Vendors can't do their own updates.

Yup. I broke Sky Mobile's processes by having a mobile on their system that isn't my account's main contact mobile. I can't get any automated stuff to work as it just shits the bed. Yay.

Urgh I hate cutting dog's claws ... and then feel so bad when they move and you catch the quick on the LAST claw. *sigh* At least this little girl is good with it and just sits and waits.

Integrity is doing the right thing when no one is watching.

Availability is doing the right thing, at any time, day or night.

Confidentiality is doing the right thing and keeping it secret.

This concludes today's episode of Information Security Aphorisms.

The messages that put fear in your heart. "The battery on your wireless mouse is critical". And you can't find the charging cable.

It might be Tuesday, but I'm already missing the weekend. Can it hurry up and be no-longer-working-time please?

Going back through some photos this afternoon hunting for test images, and I keep finding Astrophotography stuff. I really want to start getting back into this.

Absolutely stunned with the insanity that is going on with Twitter. A guy buys the site for Billions. Makes insane choices, basically burns it to the ground, forcing advertisers to flee, then puts rate limits on to "stop scraping". How on earth is he thinking this is good business?

Very tired little old lady this morning. Grumbling that I woke her.

How on earth can this make sense ?!? How can this promote a safe platform? (Note: It cant)

It’s one of those rare days where there’s not many meetings and I’m actually able to do work.
Somethings going to happen isn’t it ?

If you want something in this life that will stick by you through everything … get a dog. No bullshit, no lies, no motives (apart from feeding 😂).

(Yeah I’m jaded on relationships 🙃)

This is one of the things I enjoyed the most when I was a senior dev. Mentoring juniors and helping them grow.

Is that a good thing ? :P

Loving the nice warm weather here in the UK (finally), but it makes me want to just sit with a drink ... and nap.

Hmm - guess there's nothing wrong with that 🍻

Really trying to work out the "vibe" of BlueSky. We've gotten into a situation now with so many fractured places of social media, can it even be called social media anymore?
