  Does anyone with an understanding (if such is possible) or #cyberessentials explain how the IASME guidance (https://ce-knowledge-hub.iasme.co.uk/space/CEKH/2751561800/The+Cyber+Essentials+guide+to+working+with+contractors) says third party contractor devices are IN scope, and the NCSC infrastructure requirements for CE (https://www.ncsc.gov.uk/files/cyber-essentials-requirements-for-it-infrastructure-v3-3.pdf) page 12 table 2 says they're NOT in scope? I'd trust the NCSC more, an...

  OMG I've just seen my daughter's School Social Time Map, and WTF it this BS, they've implemented some sort of prison segregation system which appears to be entirely anti social/anti fun. I'm pleased to hear pupils ignore it, but really?! Is this normal in UK schools? #secondaryschools #uk

  RE: https://hachyderm.io/@mekkaokereke/117258973124308644 I'd accepted this as fact (being ultra rich turns people fash) but @mekkaokereke is right, these people were always fash, and the system rewarded them and lifted them up. That's the problem.

  So this morning I took Pez for a walk before we continued our slow cruise to Earith. In half an hour he managed to pickup ~200 cleaver seeds. Possibly a new personal best for the velcro dog! #dogsofmastodon #boatlife

  Sometimes I'm struck by the extent to which our society pushes responsibility down to the lowest possible level, to the people who have the least power. Take security compliance, where crappy code and product design, or crappy implementation by companies and service providers lead to flaws which can be used to gain unauthorized access to systems and data. 1/2

  An old friend of ours wished us a happy anniversary this morning, and said "its almost as hot as your wedding day today". We got married in 2010 and it was 24 degrees celcius. It's due to hit 32 today. Talk about shifting baseline syndrome! Can't think of anyone I'd rather fight the system with than @natz_b@mastodon.social! #climate #heatwave #climatechange

  I've just heard someone *seriously* suggest that if a scanner finds a vulnerability in (for example) Microsoft Teams, even if there is no fix available from the vendor (Microsoft) we should patch the component with the latest file version from the upstream provider (often open source maintainers). Bear in mind where this is a file version detection, there's no evidence that its actually exploitable (e.g. the impacted functionality may not even be used by the parent product). For someone...

  I really hope the BBC is right about the forecast for next week, rather than the Met Office. #weather #toohot

  Beautiful skies over the river this evening, love the big skies here in Huntingdonshire. #boatlife #summerskies #rivergreatouse

  Amongst the absolute shitshow of (waves hands) everything right now three things are making me less miserable today. 1. My amazing wife who's baffling through all the barriers life can throw at you to organise a repair cafe so people can keep what they love, spend less money and reduce what goes to landfill. 2. The England football fan who came up with a chant which might get them thrown out of stadiums. Thank you for putting into terrace verse what most people think. 3. This pup, who is...

  I keep hearing a lot about 'British Values', and as someone born and educated in Britain I'm not entirely sure what those values are, or who gets to decide what they are. I went to our governments website to find out, and it appears British Values are comma separated. Glad I cleared that up. #british #culture
