Stumbled onto this on Reddit..I mean, these are good questions 🤣

Question on Reddit (from 1y ago, but I only just happened upon it): "What is CNCF, eBPF, Istio, and Cilium, and who is Liz Rice?"

Already? Did I fall asleep and miss November?

Enjoying this! Much better to watch the full thing than just the highlights that I occasionally catch over @philpearl.bsky.social ‘s shoulder when he watches on YouTube. Some channel should license proper #sumo coverage for UK viewers

The BBC are showing the exhibition #Sumo tournament starting in London tomorrow 😊

Maybe a good chance for people to find out more about it? www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

You do have to put up with me talking about supply chain security, but I'm really blown away by the quality of speakers we have this year. Keynotes include @lizrice.com @mt165.co.uk , @hannahfoxwell.net @lianmakesthings.bsky.social , @mccune.org.uk and @wiggitywhitney.bsky.social .

New from @agreenberg.bsky.social and me: For three years, security researchers pointed a satellite at the sky and found highly sensitive data being sent unencrypted

They found: calls and texts on T-Mobile’s network; military info from the US and Mexico; in-flight Wi-Fi browsing, and a lot more

Yes! I’m making progress in Spanish, and I learnt a tiny bit of Japanese last year too. I’m using Duolingo, which has its flaws but it has got better and better, and I’m a firm believer that a tiny bit of practice every day really makes a difference

Reverse chronological feed FTW!

Dutch courts fighting to make Facebook and Instagram useable again.

Ramsha Jahangir @ramshajahangir.bsky.social · 7d

Last week, a Dutch court ordered Meta to give Facebook & Instagram users the right to set a chronological feed by default - one of the first EU cases applying the DSA in civil proceedings.

To unpack what this means, I spoke with @bitsoffreedom.bsky.social:

There are reasons to use a VPN but “people are going to hack into your bank account if you use public WiFi” is only one of them if your bank doesn’t use TLS & certs - in which case, change your bank!

The @nordvpn.bsky.social ads on @therestpolitics.bsky.social are sometimes misleading on this

Marcus Hutchins @malwaretech.com · 9d

Having a rather amusing conversation after I pushed back on the advice that using public wifi without a VPN will get you hacked. I bet someone $10k that I could log into my bank account via their wifi network and they couldn't even tell me my username. This guy is telling me he'd "use Pegasus" 1/3

I can't imagine who wouldn't want their daily needs within walking distance, and yet some people think the 15-minute city is some fresh kind of hell 🤷‍♀️

Doesn’t posting there make people who are still there think that it’s more balanced than it really is?

You could post here, and post links to those posts on X, for a while to make it clear that’s not your primary platform?

Agreed - through @openuk.bsky.social I’ve met a few MPs and they have all been smart. Obvs they can’t all be super-well informed on all topics but they have generally been open to hearing from specialists. Figuring out which experts to trust must be one of the most difficult bits of the job
