The UK Online Safety act (law) along with their Snoopers charter & some other laws are Orwellian to say the least. I'm thankful that I have at least some tech knowledge and intellect that elevates me above the sheeple that would usually sit there and bend over for any political party rhetoric!

The Online Safety Act is a hot mess 🥴 Drunk on boarding up more of the Internet than even the government's paedo test could justify. Pushing teens into riskier stuff online, enabling scammers and walking off with your ID. Tell your MP to sort it out! ⬇️ action.openrightsgroup.org/tell-your-mp...

Tell your MP: The Online Safety Act isn’t working

What's the problem? The Online Safety Act has been a disaster. Rather than protect children, millions of adults are facing widespread censorship, and teenagers are having their freedom of expression…

Teens are left in the dark when it comes to getting support or news online. Adults have to stay in the soft play area unless they scatter their ID or biometrics across the Internet. The Online Safety Act is a shoddy law. Tell your MP it’s gotta change ⬇️ action.openrightsgroup.org/tell-your-mp...

I goat asked the other day: "Why make the old school BBS/IRC etc, wouldn't it be better making newer social media?" My answer was: "Without a working version of the older systems, how can people make newer ones?" Plus the old stuff was and still can be way cooler than the new.

So, I've been a busy little keyboard jockey as of late. BBS, IRC & citadel server all set up, domains and all. Just need to finish my PBX before I release the details. Who knows, may put it on my webpage as a puzzle for the Tech geeks to unravel.

My pi cluster when it was being built. I now use the lower one as a Vpn/webserver to allow me to access my network and NAS-D while I'm outside of home, (I do have a static IP provided by my isp). The top pi is used primarily for my BBS/IRC servers which are currently down for maintenance.

4 more spam bots followed me, all reported now I'm naming and shaming!! Maybe these little bot accounts need a bit of a good shaming, especially as I'm a bit of a cyber security nut with a few skills up my sleeves.

This particular pub, bridge and section of the Leeds & Liverpool canal holds a particular fondness for me and my childhood. Shame to see the old bridge has become electronic operation.
