Sunrise at the Cenotaph. Today thousands of veterans will join The Royal Family and Armed Forces personnel on parade to commemorate those who have died in service to their country. On Remembrance Sunday, and every day, we will remember them.

Remember last year when a class of 10 year olds wrote new games for the ZX Spectrum? Well here is yet another batch of genuinely great games from this years students at the same school. dougie9mcg.itch.io/zx-spectrum-ga…

This is incredibly cool! A teacher is teaching his class of 10 year olds how to program on a Spectrum, and they have made all their new games available to download. Some look outstanding! I wish my school in the 80s had been this ace! dougie9mcg.itch.io/zx-spectrum-ga…

Friend of friend works for IT for a supermarket company. Someone at a store calls and says the automatic doors have stopped working. He points them towards maintenance but they push him for advice. “Dunno. Have you tried turning them off and on again?” Reader, it worked.

What’s the dumbest question you’ve ever gotten working in I.T.? I have so many of these, but a personal favorite was the girl who asked me why when people call her desk phone it shows their name on the display and not her own.

A GitHub flaw lets attackers upload executables that appear to be hosted on a company's official repo, such as Microsoft's—without the repo owner knowing anything about it. The following URLs, for example, make it seem like these ZIPs are present on Microsoft's source code repo: https://github[.]com/microsoft/vcpkg/files/14125503/Cheat.Lab.2.7.2.zip https://github[.]com/microsoft/STL/files/14432565/Cheater.Pro.1.6.0.zip But they are not. These ZIPs are #malware. An attacker, while commenting on any GitHub commit/PR, can "attach" a file that gets assigned a URL slug containing the name of the repo where the comment was made. Even if the comment is never actually posted or later deleted by the attacker, the link to the file remains live! And, the repo owner (Microsoft in this case) would have no knowledge of or control over such files. Threat actors have been abusing this flaw to distribute malicious executables under the false pretense that these are coming from credible organizations' code repos.

Lots of analysis of the xz/liblzma vulnerability. Most skip over the first step of the attack: 0. The original maintainer burns out, and only the attacker offers to help (so the attacker inherits the trust of the project built by the maintainer). Read their words👇🏻 1/

Data mining ISS imagery in an unusual way. Nathan Bergey, then a visiting scholar at Portland State University in Oregon, plotted on a blank map of Earth, the location of the Space Station at the moment each of more than 1.1 million astronaut photographs were taken. A new vision of Earth’s geography emerged. The continents appear in ghostly outlines, and places of striking beauty are thick with dots. Regions of constant cloud cover and featureless reaches of the mid-ocean are rarely captured. Parsed in this manner, nothing of the photographic subject remains, only the fact that a human being, driven by something intangible—curiosity, awe, aesthetic delight, perhaps even a moment of homesickness—chose to release a camera’s shutter. Map assembled in 2013 from 1,129,177 astronaut images from ISS, Expeditions 1-34, see Nathan’s data at: natronics.github.com/ISS-photo-loca…

Happy 100th birthday to the Shipping Forecast! First broadcast on New Year's Day 1924 My initial @metoffice training included a day with the forecaster preparing the Shipping Forecast. It felt quite special to hear him rehearse aloud carefully-worded drafts to get it just right
