INCORRECT IT FACTS : the DNS lookup record for IPv6 addresses was developed in Liverpool, alongside some of the smaller cylindrical consumer battery formats, and the highest-ranked credit ratings.

Open Data klaxon! Network Rail have released 2G, 4G and 5G mobile network measurements from test trains on the network. This looks really interesting! raildata.org.uk/dashboard/da...

I am pleased to report that the tomato plants gifted by one of our GP Partners are alive and well in my possession three months later, and one is even bearing fruit. That said, I bet posting about my green fingered success is now a curse!
Catching up on talks I missed at @emfcamp.bsky.social last week - they're up at media.ccc.de/c/emf2026

Front-end design is like this: *lifts up cup of coffee* *takes a sip* COFFEE DISAPPEARS *puts coffee down again* COFFEE REAPPEARS *lifts cup of coffee with the handle on the other side* COFFEE STAYS !??!?!?!?!
Nearly 200 calls over the entire event - that's not bad. But to save resources, it now just pretends it's broken rule zero
Peter Hicks@poggs.com · 3w agoFor those going to @emfcamp.bsky.social: @davwheat.dev and I set up (no AI whatsoever) a digital helppoint on extension 2466 which will tell you the next departures from Ledbury - accessible on 0114 501 2466 if you're off-site
@jonty.bsky.social Can I get a copy of the NullSec audio announcements, especially the See It one?
@cpf.sh Loved your talk - I gave a presentation to my NHS primary care colleagues a few months ago about the similarities between IT and medicine
@thisisjofrank.bsky.social Thank you for your uncomfortable (to listen to) talk yesterday evening and the necessary butt-kicking to make people call that crap out. Possibly the best talk of the entire weekend.
Kemi Badenoch called for a live, televised debate between @countbinface.bsky.social and Nigel Farage. I rarely agree with her, but on this occasion, I agree vehemently

Imagine being @countbinface.bsky.social and having your summer plans disrupted by your intergalactic duty to stand in a by-election in Clacton
It will be difficult for Farage to play the anti-establishment card against a bin.
Farage is going to do his thing with his own video clips. Do not fall for this. He wants to avoid the opportunity for scrutiny. He wants to say things that go unchallenged, even though they're ridiculous.
It's becoming increasingly difficult to know when the 6 O'Clock and 10 O'Clock News is on. I've missed the Six by an hour, but the Ten is actually at 2200
Day three of a red heat alert. I'm assessing which trains have the best aircon and planning to take a very necessary trip to work remotely
Backward compatibility is an important consideration in tech, but apart from dabbling with it in 1996, I haven't ever *used* uucp!
This train is so refreshingly cool I might go all the way in to Liverpool Street and back just to be comfortable
Are you sufficiently hydrated? I'll bet you're not. Go grab a drink of water!
Idea: an extension for web browsers that will mute BBC iPlayer whenever Nigel Farage comes on with his deceptive poltiics
Logging in via an email is all well and good, but when VMO2 hide the "This wasn't me" link behind a big "Sign in" button, and include a "Click here if this wasn't you" link which just goes to a FAQ... just no. C'mon!
Some context on the events at Elstow/Bedford this evening. There is a lot you can tell from train describer data on @opentraintimes.com, however there is a lot of information that you cannot determine. The purple trace is the Class 360's movements, the green is the 810's.
I read a post earlier - "I installed the iOS 27 beta and it's rubbish, I expected something more polished, don't upgrade!" My friend, welcome to the bleeding edge :D
