Thank you. The only value I set out with when building the more recent version of the site was to share what I know. Too many people learn a thing and keep it to themselves.

I'm talking about op-sec. Network design is but a single aspect of that, and often doesn't feature at all. I mean this more in the sense described by Wikipedia¹, and not the likes of SecurityStudio²/Fortinet³ (first two searc

Yes. I assume you're asking if they're publicly available, which is a no. Is not an easy world to penetrate, for good reason.

I have some experience here, not with the NSA though. BYOD is forbidden, and checked when you enter the building. There is only wired hardware - and wireless is, well, jammed. Any software introduced into such networks is vetted before intr

In my social and work bubble nobody I've spoken to about it watches live TV anymore, myself included. News is consumed online (primarily Economist, Guardian and BBC, but not exclusively). TV does XBox, DVDs (I've amassed over 1000

Any reasonable justification for requiring sign-up/a user account?

Get out of their way. Software developers know how to develop. Your job as manager is to remove any obstacles that keep developers from developing. And so you manage interfering people away from your project. You head off anything that migh

Not the easiest one to make absolute decisions over. National lotteries fund a lot of useful stuff.

Time for everything IS running out. And no, there's no roadmap that shows you how to stop feeling lost. I'm 52 and that feeling becomes ever more intense. I wonder how I got here so quickly. I'm told THAT feeling intensifies

Not in the list, Here maps (with ancient roots in Nokia Maps) is excellent.

I wonder if this is a generational thing. If there's a decent app for a thing, I use the app¹. In this case Outlook. I have 4 email addresses to manage my personal email, throw-away registrations, website comms, and website SSL/ad

Give rusty screws a shot of WD40 and let soak for a while. Overnight if it's really bad. Clean the WD40 off the screw before starting to unscrew, then proceed as required.

Before I start - by " what is a book worth in the 21st century ? " do you mean non-fiction? Because then we agree on that point. However... There is no such thing as "intellectual superiority". All life (I will grudgingl

I've been vaccinated 3 times. But. 5m out of 7 billion on Earth. The WHO is making rumblings of downgrading pandemic to endemic. Your body is all you really have so if someone chooses to not get vaccinated I believe that to be their

Understood. I chose (forgive me) 'choosing the correct tire' because not everybody in snowy areas knows they need them, and not everybody has ready access to them. There's often no legal requirement for snow tyres, and some c

Not sure it needs to be dialled in for social media. If you want to achieve a result like monetisation then yes, but then it's no longer social, it's just become an income-related activity (job!!) and is no longer social media --

Research is also useful - The first key to effective snow driving is a light throttle and choosing the correct tyre. Driving in snow requires a tall tyre with a narrow section-width. This allows the tyre to cut through the crust and obtain

#13. Social Media with a Purpose made me pause - I have two Instagram accounts, and a Facebook account. Instagram 1 is for family and friends. It's snapshots of daily life for family and friends all over the world. Instagram 2 is for

Lol you read that very correctly, but please don't take the emotion either seriously or personally. All your points are noted. Importing ODT files into Word makes a mess of formatting and layout. I've wasted many hours fixing docu

Yes I've tried Libre. ODT files don't play well with MS Office. Pivot tables in Calc are... frustrating. No OneNote, no Outlook, no Visio. Linux doesn't work on my hardware, and Visual Studio doesn't work on Linux. The d

Always with the Linux. I can't use Linux, I work in a Microsoft world. I can turn off the keylogger, and virtually anything else I don't want/like. I cannot (assuming I used their products) stop Google from storing my (MY!!)

I will stick with MS Office. I can use it when disconnected from everything, and (note hyperbole, but the cynicism is real) I avoid the creepy feeling that Google is logging every mouse movement and keystoke I make for teh ads. In fact I we

I have a custom electric-assist bakfiets and it's got a lock on the back wheel, and a very heavy-duty steel ring for an equally heavy-duty chain. The battery and display are removable. You're subject to vandalism of course, but th

Reddit and I parted ways. It became an echo chamber with no original thinking, mostly intolerant of dissenting views.

The article does mention economic factors - e.g. the desire for families to educate their children, which for a family with many children is prohibitively expensive.

Well that's the thing - I'm not willing to build them. I wouldn't know where to start, even. And no ambition to learn, whilst Firefox and uBlock keep going. Seriously why should I? Maybe someone more able than I can share the
