@JohnBeardon Neither pathetic nor a failure! The 'overlords' (😆) have made me so much more productive in my nerdy hobbies - it's great.
English
Feeling ever so slightly pathetic.
Helping out someone moving an ancient HTML website between hosts and struggled for over an hour to get PHPMailer working. As an act of desperation, I asked Gemini. Working 5 minutes later.
I'm a failure. Shoot me now. 😟

@BeardedTinker Interesting - going to evaluate this for myself as a result, so thanks. Do you have the agent loaded directly on the HAOS server? Any noticeable performance hit?

My SIEM just caught someone attacking my @home_assistant .
Port 8123 probe → brute force attempt.
Wazuh correlated the logs and flagged the whole attack chain in seconds.
If your smart home isn’t logging this… you’d never know.

And we find out today that every director, and every company in the country, was vulnerable to the Companies House data leak exploit for FIVE MONTHS.
The government can't even be trusted with your email address, let alone your sensitive personal data. Kill Digital ID now.

Decentra Suze@DecentraSuze
The UK government is pushing digital ID again despite nearly 3 million people opposing it and a four hour parliamentary debate that raised overwhelming cross party concern about this dystopian technology. Linking identity to payments creates the infrastructure for unprecedented financial surveillance and control. Watch this clip where Freddie warns: “If the government decides to suspend your digital ID and that becomes the gateway to services and payments, you are effectively unpersoned.” Please take a few minutes to submit a response.

@BorisJohnson Bitcoin is not a Ponzi scheme. A Ponzi requires a central operator promising returns and paying early investors with funds from later ones. Bitcoin has no issuer, no promoter, and no guaranteed return—just an open, decentralized monetary network driven by code and market demand.

This is absolutely brilliant. The 'technical issue' being that anyone could login and view or change the details of ANY director of any one of the UK's five million companies.
This is the same government that promises Digital ID will be safe and convenient, by the way.

Here is the uncomfortable truth:
The British political class is years behind when it comes to Bitcoin and digital assets. We are asleep at the wheel.
Too many people in Westminster are happy to dismiss it with throwaway lines about “Ponzi schemes” without having spent even a few hours/days understanding what it actually is.
Bitcoin didn’t appear in a vacuum. It is the latest chapter in a very long story, the evolution of money itself.
From gold, to paper backed by gold, to purely fiat currencies controlled by central banks.
Anyone who has seriously studied that history can see why a decentralised monetary network with a fixed supply was inevitable.
That doesn’t mean every crypto project has merit. Far from it.
But confusing Bitcoin with the worst excesses of the crypto industry simply reveals a lack of understanding and full transparency, this was once my view also before I took the time to learn.
Britain should be leading the conversation about the future of money and financial infrastructure.
Instead, far too many of our decision-makers are still trying to understand the last one.
Bitcoin is the future.

Two simple Restore Britain policies that would solve so many of our problems, so very quickly.
No benefits for foreigners. No social housing for foreigners.
Stop tolerating it. Make a decision. No more. We’re just not going to do it.
Not only that, encourage those migrants who are unable to support themselves financially to leave the country. If they refuse, deport them.
This is what any self-respecting nation does. Why is Britain any different?
Why should we tolerate entire foreign communities living in social housing, being funded by the British taxpayer? What is the point? How does that benefit us?
It doesn’t. So send them home. This is not complicated.
Jobless migrant households have received more than £10 billion in benefits in 18 months. That is staggering. 10 billion. Insane.
I do not want my taxes funding lazy Somalians who refuse to work, squat in British social housing and claim Universal Credit - all funded by hardworking British men and women. They contribute nothing, so they should be sent back to Somalia.
This is a position that the vast majority of the British people hold. It is not extreme, in any way. It is logical. It is fair. It is decent.
It would allow us to cut tax, ease demands on the NHS and free up social housing for British families in genuine need.
End the incentives, and the boats stop overnight.
That is what we are aiming for.
If that means millions go, that means millions go.
If you agree, there is finally a political party you can support.
Restore Britain.
We will send the foreign shirkers home.
The piss-take will finally end.

I just cannot keep up with these insane u-turns.
Never in our history has there been such a useless, directionless, dithering excuse for a Prime Minister and government.
Today Macron is out in Cyprus, humiliating the PM even further.

This kind of defeatism is extremely counterproductive as it will just turn into a self-fulfilling prophecy if you repeat it often enough.
Instead of saying it’s over for Europe, do everything you can to embolden the White native population instead. Remigration is possible. Saving this continent is possible.
Geiger Capital@Geiger_Capital
Curtis Yarvin says the West has "no balls" now and will simply turn into South Africa… "Americans and Europeans will not resist the mass immigration and population replacement. You know, the thought that they will grab their muskets or whatever. It won't happen. Won’t happen at all. What will happen is exactly what happened in South Africa. They will just acknowledge that they've lost their power and their country forever. And then they will sit quietly in their houses and build more and more barbed wire and electric fences until finally they are exterminated in one big pogrom. That's the future. That's what will happen to your children."

You’re a fucking idiot. @ShabanaMahmood
Shabana Mahmood MP@ShabanaMahmood
Our pilot of new incentives to remove failed asylum seeking families will save taxpayers up to £20 million. Here's why 👇 1. It costs 158k to put up a family of 3 in an asylum hotel for 1 year. It costs 48k more to forcibly remove someone. A 10k per person incentive, up to a max of 40k per family, will save money. 2. If someone refuses an incentive, we will move to a forced removal. If you have no right to be in this country, you should not be allowed to stay. 3. There is nothing new about incentive payments. The Tories did it. Even Reform say they will do it. 4. Higher incentives have worked in Denmark. 95% of returns there are voluntary. 5. These incentives are not a pull factor. Asylum claims in Denmark are at a 40-year low. And asylum seekers spend tens of thousands of pounds getting to this country, that's more than any incentive payment. 6. This is a pilot of 150 families. We will see if it works and scale it if it does. That's taking a smart approach, that saves taxpayers' money, to restoring order at our borders. I make no apology for doing that.

Stretch Dividend Rate increased by 25 bps to 11.50% for March 2026. $STRC
English
Did you know - in the UK, most SIPP accounts allow you to receive the full 11.25% dividend from STRC without 15% withholding tax. I’m currently experimenting with STRC in both SIPP and ISA wrappers and like what I see.
Betirement@betirement
STRATEGY'S STRC IS PERFECT FOR YIELD-SEEKING RETIREES. STRC pays monthly cash dividends- at an amazing 11.25% rate. STRC maintains stable share value (near $100/share) so retirees don't need to ride out volatile swings in their principal. STRC's dividend payments are Tax Deferred! You pay no tax when you receive dividends.
English
Well said that man.
Freddie New@freddienew
A few suggestions for @UKLabour if they want to start winning friends and influencing people 👇 - Stop trying to block access to the information superhighway, focus on fixing the actual highways instead. - Instead of trying to turn every website and online company into a surveillance machine, focus on better digital and online literacy for parents and children. The internet isn’t going anywhere, and all of us need to find a way to manage how we interact with it. - Rather than trying to babysit our Netflix binge watching by age-gating one of the few remaining routes of escapism from this damp, dreary and authoritarian island, why not focus support on the arts, sports and creative industries and recognise human performance as one of the few areas unlikely to be overrun by AI? - Eliminate all your obsessions with control, with monitoring, with ruthlessly identifying and dictating to the largely peaceful majority of people in this country, and focus on preventing and solving actual crimes, like horrific and institutionalised sexual abuse, rather than locking people up for hurty words. Immediately end the insane drive to deprive us all of the thousand-year-old right to a trial by a jury of our peers. - Stop trying actively to kill industries such as mine, which sits at the intersection of finance and computing, and where the UK should be leading the world and not, as it currently is, a global laughing stock. - Recognise that industry and hard work is what made this country great in the past, and that no nation has ever regulated or taxed itself into prosperity. - Oh, and stop cancelling elections. Not a good look for a democracy. For a party that calls itself ‘Labour’ to be so focused on killing and not supporting actual industry would be utterly hilarious were it not so depressingly true.
