    Seriously? Five blokes in balaclavas, three white vans and a bit of petrol is enough to get the USAF to withdraw? Snowflakes. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/oct/04/us-bombers-sent-home-from-raf-fairford-base-after-suspected-bomb-plot?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other

    Is anybody on top of the recent #VLC CVEs? My employer has felt it necessary to disable VLC across all corporate devices. I&amp;#39;m usually fairly well-informed on newly-discovered vulns but I haven&amp;#39;t heard anything that made me think it was *that* severe. Is there active exploitation going on?

    Now that macOS 27 has been released I’ve finally relented and installed macOS 26. I didn’t want it but I feel weird being more than one major version behind.

    Six shots of espresso in me and I still can hardly keep my eyes open. I wonder what life is like for people who actually enjoy their job rather than being forced to endure the boredom.

    The lifts in this hotel are like the opposite of hitchhikers guide. You press the button and one of them pings like it’s ready for you to enter but it’s actually about twenty floors away and approaching at a snail’s pace.

    Following the success of my book “Cups, Gravity and Hot Liquid : why actors can’t handle coffee mugs”, I’m now crowdfunding for the follow-up “That’s Not How Any of That Works: AI for non-tech journalists with a press release”

    RE: https://dair-community.social/@alex/116967299860488135 Great book. If you haven’t read it yet, you really should do. Explains “AI” so well even a politician could follow it (but they deliberately won’t) #ai #ukpolitics

    Successfully migrated two reasonably large Wordpress MU sites onto new kit. Close to zero downtime. Brought in SSO. All works perfectly until someone tries to upload an image and hits the PHP max upload limit of 2 meg! Why oh why does it still default to such a low value? And why do I never ever remember to change it on a new install? #php #linux #serveradmin

    If you listen to the tech bros, AI should be spawning a massive influx of high quality software created by non-programmers able to release their pent-up creativity. So where is all this software? According to this article, it&#39;s not on Steam. https://fragwyz.substack.com/p/ai-on-steam-part-2 #steam #ai #noAI #saynotoai #notAI

    It would be hilarious if all the main parties refused to be part of Farage’s by-election circus and we ended up with Count Binface getting elected. #ukpolitics #farage
