@cozmickrunch @emmaroc33249448 This week we commemorate the 80th anniversary of D-Day. You might want to look up the reason why it was delayed for a day. [editor’s note: virtually no jet-engined aircraft existed at that time.]

@0Risk0Reward @TodayiLearrned A friend used to work for a company that manufactured the sub-sea repeaters. They are seriously impressive pieces of engineering, greatly underrated!

@TodayiLearrned Tdr.... Time Domain Reflectometer

How do we actually "find" a broken cable at the bottom of the ocean? If a shark bites an internet cable halfway between New York and London, how do engineers know exactly which mile of the 3,000-mile cable to pull up?

@ChrisMelooni @5eniorDeveloper Which is, of course, *exactly* why they make it so hard for you to it properly/securely!

@5eniorDeveloper La única razón por la que no tengo mi red segmentada es precisamente porque me confunde esa parte de los dispositivos ioty las reglas necesarias para poder controlarlos desde el celular, Alexa, etc…

¿Ustedes también segmentan la red de su casa? Yo la tengo así: 1. Main: dispositivos de confianza (computadoras y celulares). 2. Invitados: solo internet con ancho de banda limitado. 3. IoT: Tvs, lavadora, etc. Sin acceso a la intranet. 4. Seguridad: Cámaras sin acceso a la intranet. 5. Una vlan con VPN siempre activo. Todo el tráfico pasa por pi-hole y tengo algunas reglas de firewall para que mis dispositivos de main puedan ver las tvs y cámaras. ​¿Qué me falta?

@KristoZab @ZorlakRules @5eniorDeveloper 1. It’s actually not that that complicated; and 2. If you don’t understand *why* it’s necessary, then you’re exactly the kind of sucker that every business selling any kind of product or service wants as a customer 😀

@ZorlakRules @5eniorDeveloper El segundo punto si lo veo muuuuuy coooompliiiicaaaaadooooo joooveeeen

@Icarus_Flies @Pops__o @Icarus_Flies STFU 🙄

@Pops__o You’re 60. Have some self respect Jesus Christ

They say when you lose a parent, you can take comfort from the thought that they’re always watching over you… well, after the sexy time I had last night, I bloody hope not.

@bookishchrissie @Pops__o Mine too 😬

@Pops__o My dad used to turn the channel if sexy scenes came on and the tv. I like to think he does the ghosty equivalent now 😅😂

@b_t_smyt @VanishedLondon @stopcpdotcom Yawn… 🙄

@VanishedLondon @stopcpdotcom I would rather explore how it can be removed with high explosives.

If you would like to explore the story of the Barbican, and what was there before the post-war estate, I have a walk exploring the Lost Streets of the Barbican on the 16th of May. Details here: eventbrite.co.uk/e/the-lost-str…

@NordYorksKev @CopMoustache The bigger problem is the bleating on social media from people who haven’t the faintest clue, that The Powers That Be feel they need to respond to…

@CyberEllen1994 @CopMoustache And again a change in the law is required, to stop giving rights to criminals

I see all the usual suspects are still blathering on about the Golders Green incident, should have pulled it out of his hand, why wasn’t he hit with a unicorn first Bit long but this shows 6 expert martial artists try to disarm a knifeman, everyone dies youtu.be/t69XMB-PINM?si…

@elormkdaniel Patch-cables outside the rack! 😬

What is wrong with this setup??

@NordYorksKev @CopMoustache And the Police Officers would be up on a manslaughter charge for ‘over reacting’ judging by many of the comments on the subject 🙄

@CopMoustache Why would they. He had a knife and was attacking, they should have had guns and it would have been a lot simpler and quicker

@DrNeilStone Yes, me too 😕

Anyone else in London suffering terribly from hay fever right now or is it just me?

@iamAtheistGirl They believe in the bits that suit them… 😉

do you think most christians actually believe? i don’t if they truly believed in an all powerful god who already wiped out the entire planet they wouldn’t behave as they do if they did it’s just a coping mechanism and validation to hate imo

@GoBlueReds @uppity_witch @IonaItalia 🤷‍♀️

@CyberEllen1994 @uppity_witch @IonaItalia True-sounds factual

I am strongly against free buses. More people will take buses if there are more frequent, faster, better connected services. That costs money. Fares also stop belligerent drunks and schizophrenic homeless people from riding the bus all day, deterring normal passengers.

@10agapanthus @SJRH03 @TfL That’s part of the solution, certainly. Defence in depth is required: barriers as part of prevention, detection and response if that fails.

@CyberEllen1994 @SJRH03 @TfL We need to have better barriers then. If people cannot be trusted to behave properly, then new, more secure systems need to be implemented.

4 consecutive people in front of me who barged through the barrier at Willesden Green underground. All of them doing it without a second thought. @TfL why should I continue to pay my fair if nobody else seems to care about paying? When will you finally act to stop it?

@gymbuddy20 @PosyParker Of course! The folks with terribly fragile egos will not tolerate any disagreement 🙂

@uppity_witch @IonaItalia “Fares also stop belligerent drunks and schizophrenic homeless people from riding the bus all day, deterring normal passengers.” Doesn’t sound “lovely” to me… 🙄

@CyberEllen1994 @IonaItalia Iona is a lovely person. Can you find a way to disagree with her without impugning her character?

@vanderwolf10 @IonaItalia Thank-you 👍

@CyberEllen1994 @IonaItalia

@Electrofountain @gymbuddy20 @ThePosieParker I’m glad you recognise your position 🙂

@CyberEllen1994 @gymbuddy20 @ThePosieParker I see logic has left the room.

Just got an uber, lovely chap from Bangladesh. Lives in a council flat in zone 1, but he's on a waiting list for a bigger place. I earn six figures and I grew up in the UK, I can't afford a zone 1 flat with 2 beds like his. Why can't people comprehend how wrong this is?

@AnthonyCli76261 @IonaItalia Frequent means often. Irregularly means not at predictable intervals. Sigh 🙄 Where did I say I was not against fare evasion?

@CyberEllen1994 @IonaItalia Irregularly and frequently mean opposite things. Which is it? I have spent my lifetime catching buses in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia - thousands of them, day to day, week to week. I've seen 90% fare evasion become the norm and a 3rd world service begin to develop as a result.

@Electrofountain @gymbuddy20 @ThePosieParker City centres that are enclaves for the super rich, with serfs ejected to distant housing camps… 🙄

@CyberEllen1994 @gymbuddy20 @ThePosieParker What's that?

@robf34 @SJRH03 @TfL Whatever it is that the vanishingly small teams of people who do appear to be trained and equipped to deal with these thieves do; all FoH staff should.

@CyberEllen1994 @SJRH03 @TfL What would you have them do? Perform a citizens arrest or sit on the fare evader until the police arrive?
