We live in an age where adverts that promote gambling are accepted while adverts that encourage investment are not. bbc.co.uk/news/technology-59…
Surprising (perhaps not) that ed25519 isn't defined in FIPS 140-2 while certain other curves are. #RandomThoughts

UK got the vaccine first because ‘we've got the best people’ says living proof that we haven’t:
Looking for a reasonable Filesystem alert threshold formula. Percent is okay but 90% of 10TB is nothing to worry about while 90% of 1GB is an impending issue. #prometheus #alertmanager

There are far too many journalists in the UK at the moment who have turned their backs on the moral obligation of honesty. Taking a salary to peddle lies does not a journalist make.
No more BBC Four or BBC News in HD from Freeview. We had it, now we don't and that's progress? Very little info to be found but apparently #OFCOM can make more profit by giving the bandwidth to Mobile Services.
