Would this be BT? It's just that the unrendered template comes up if you search for those instructions

There's been a spate of high profile cyber attacks in the past year in the UK with the latest one on Jaguar Land Rover actually causing a dip in the expected value of GDP for this quarter - that's probably why you're seeing an increase in requests from the UK about it.

Would Cyber Essentials Plus be enough? We've done it and it's a yearly reassessment that is one day plus a couple of days prep before the assessment. Way easier than ISO 270001.

OpenVPN talks about using 443 to bypass port restrictions so doubt it could be sniffed - if you use your ISP's DNS they might be able to detect something from that or if there's no reverse DNS for the ip address you're connecting to they could assume it's a VPN.

Pretty sure Ofcom don’t know if I’m opening an OpenVPN connection to an AWS endpoint in eu-west-1 so my money is on they’ve bought magic beans

There's loads like these in Coventry - no dropped kerb or anything and there's often school kids cycling along what remains of the pavement so really dangerous all round

That's definitely on the roadmap - only problem is you're probably piling hallucination on top of hallucination there.

I suspect it was 1 officer to stop £34m of payments and 14 officers reinstating payments of £17m stopped in error.

No doubt MHCLG will advise LPAs to treat these AI-generated objections specially in the way that e-petitions are considered as one objection by some LPAs. Will seem a bit hypocritical when AI-generated assessments by planning officers will start happening (a contract is currently being procured).

FYI, I think you have a typo in some screenshots - you're referring to account_a but that doesn't seem defined as a let block?

It's more likely two fingers from the developers to the six residents in the existing houses who wrote in to complain about the development and forced it to go to planning committee.

I read this as: "Free school meals should be abolished because it doesn't prepare them for being hungry as adults"

Interesting there's Google Street View images from 2008 along the whole length and that "Unsuitable for Motor Vehicles" doesn't appear until 2021. Done intentionally perhaps?

You do have a point though. Sometimes I'm annoyed enough to take a look and realise there is a problem - like this one I fixed recently where a sendBeacon request on the page closing was being fired after the fixtures had rolled back causing an exception

Fix locking errors when a petition is deleted by pixeltrix · Pull Request #1347 · alphagov/e-petitions
This doesn't happen in the real world since petitions are never deleted, but in Cucumber features an unlock request sent when a window is closed can cause an ActiveRecord::RecordNotFound except...

Some, like this one are just flake out every now and again so re-running them or deleting them are the only real options.

I assume it must be this one since it mentions GitHub commit messages with a single emoji

The PM's written statement is pretty unequivocal that DSIT are responsible technical design, build and delivery for digital ID and that the CO is responsible for policy, legislation and oversight.
