Excellent article by @…, given a timely illustration by AWS's problems this morning.
"... this year, multiple important companies not just in the UK but globally and ranging from manufacturers to retail stores have been knocked almost completely out of production by cyberattacks. ...
"... British businesses have to start doing more to secure their IT systems and to create plans for how to keep running if something happens – potentially with plans to run systems without networked computers or with pen-and-paper backups if required. ...
"In 2019 we knew that a future pandemic was inevitable at some point but the lessons from previous pandemics and pandemic wargame exercises had not and still have not been fully implemented. ...
"Since then, the foreseeable disasters like pandemics, climate change or malicious hackers have been joined by another one – a hostile government that actively controls our tech sector."

The webcast #SolarEclipse is underway and has a feed from Dunedin, New Zealand where the partially eclipsed Sun will rise in a few minutes - meanwhile here is the eclipse already underway as seen by SUVI on the geostationary weather satellite GOES-19 at 17 nm wavelength, from https://www.facebook.com/SolarHam/posts/pfbid0LKUaGuBPo11nHtuHdfYmto1SRd1HFkrrGXVznc36AaxAfiAhHiDTAeoJwXZFnkpFl

Der ukrainische Präsident Wolodymyr Selenskyj hat auf Berichte über eine angeblich angespannte Atmosphäre bei seinem Treffen mit US-Präsident Donald Trump diplomatisch reagiert. Der 47-Jährige erklärte, das Treffen sei "positiv" verlaufen. Zwar habe Trump nach seinem Telefonat mit dem russischen Präsidenten Wladimir Putin nicht wie erhofft die Freigabe für …

Here's something new. Our train is delayed because the #PKP #InterCity train going in front of us is delayed. And apparently that train is delayed because the conductor decided to remove a passenger over him keeping his shoes against the seat opposite him.
And the real absurd part is that apparently said passenger removed the shoes upon being called on it. Yet the conductor decided to call the police to forcibly remove him anyway. On a single track line known to be filled with trains to the capacity. Causing series of delays for hours to come. With a bunch of connections on all major nodes that will cause further delays.

A bit after the maximum phase of the partial #SolarEclipse another feed from Dunedin, New Zealand, appeared on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=frOkEPoP1C4 - they have four cameras running but suffered from connectivity issues.
