Greece says a radio failure that grounded flights is unlikely to be a cyberattack
ATHENS, Greece (AP) — Greece’s transport minister said Monday that a major radio communications failure that shut the country’s airspace a day earlier is unlikely to have been a cyberattack, though the cause remains under investigation.

The Thirteenth Floor (1999) was a great concept but the execution (the acting and dialogue) weren't the greatest - and this is coming from me, who watches and doesn't mind a lot of B movies. This one could really do with a modern remake. Simulation etc type stuff. I can just imagine this remade now, but so much better 😂

I think maybe I want to have begonias in my garden again this year...

YouTube reports from CES have been coming thick and fast for the last 24 hours. #Caleb is like a brumby unleashed and Vincent from #HDTVTest (my fellow “nits whore”) are duelling it out with rapid fresh reports — maybe even blocking each other’s voices on the showroom floor — on the two new kinds of

Had Fun

Bought a car/micro-camper

Bought a van to do up as a micro-camper, and did a temporary rush job of that conversion myself while waiting in the list for the pro to do it.
Then the pro gave himself a health criss the week it was booked so I took apart my temp job and only got another temp kit-job in it's place.
Went out in it like four times during that and then broke my wrist and couldn't really use it or improve it.
Then had to take it apart even more to try
and figure out where the ad-blue hole was.
I will do a proper permanent job of the
floor and walls and ceiling and adjustments to the kit-job to make it the nicest it's been so far during the spring next year.
My assumption that the prior conversion
into a van and for wheelchair-access meant the microcamper conversion was half-done already turned out to be false.
If I buy a new one, it'll be one that has never been wheelchair adapted.
But it's going okay. Only scraped it once so far.
Fewer than aimed for or booked, but I broke my wrist and had to cancel the second half of the summer.
Went to a conference about money and computers and fringe decentralized social media and it wasn't as boring as you might expect and felt pretty much like a festival.
Exactly the target number! It's lovely.
Took 3 times longer than I'd hoped and
50% more money than I'd planned for really.
Still improvements to make but they will
be incremental and gradual over the coming year or two now.
It's been interest-only for 20 years so a big old lump sum payment that I never really expected to be able to make. Expected to have to sell and move at the end of the mortgage term.
But surprisingly the stocks ISA got high enough to pay it off after all, so I did that.
Cash-flow ruined by that and the bedroom but should start to feel a bit richer next year.

⏳Seems like forever since I pulled out the 90mm/2.8 lens that I used to shoot this African daisy last summer... and yeah, I will reboot my photo processing pipeline one of these days

When you're trying to get #Google to help them fix a problem they have in relaying an email to a list (they are forwarding as if it they are originating your non-GMail email, thus incurring an SPF failure) their helpful support team to the rescue (see image attached).
FYI... the second thing they want is a screen cap of the client SMTP config.
