Is there an attack going on with Card One Money, bank accounts run by Equals Money UK Ltd?

when the dark web threat monitoring service gets pwnd and lists itself as a breach because it aggregated sensitive personal data as a service and therefore drew a bullseye on its own ass

Bought a year of VM/BGP service from a #hosting provider on a Wednesday. Tuesday the service goes down. The next day a web page statement says operations are ceasing operations at that location. That would have been good #!?@'ing information a week ago!
True story. I've not seen it all, but when it comes to how providers operate I've seen a lot. :-)

Look at all these cool Muni routes that were eliminated in 2009 budget cuts and didn't come back 😭 Potrero Hill used to have *three* north-south bus routes where now it has one. The 53 Southern Heights was lost in 2009, the 10 Townsend in 2020, and only the 19 Polk is left.

"What has not changed in 50 years is the fact we are still using centralized architectures, prone to government intrusion and privacy leaks. Maybe it is time to think about a “Post Cloud” era where information is distributed instead of centralized. Of course this raises questions of trust, cryptography, security and collaboration, but the technology to build such systems already exists. It is more of a question of policy and education than of technology."

Somebody Else's Computer As A Service
On November 12, 1990, a 35 year-old Bill Gates introduced his "Information at your Fingertips" concept during his keynote at COMDEX. The PC, he said, would become "more personal," integrating "fax, voice and electronic mail," and providing "easy access to a broad range of information." More or less at the same time, Tim Berners-Lee was giving the final touches to the first web browser and web server software ever put in production. Bill Gates was right; as any Internet user can easily confirm 3…

Amazon Web Services: DNS-Problem legte zahlreiche Online-Dienste lahm
Aufgrund eines Problems bei der DNS-Auflösung bei AWS fielen einige Dienste temporär aus. Davon betroffen waren auch Snapchat und Fortnite.

Approximately 18% of SNAP recipients are over 60.
That’s over 7 million people.
A lot of those people have few options to generate more income.

I don't disagree with suggestions that the UK public sector should have less reliance on the big-three (American) cloud providers. But this has been a concern for more than a decade, and people should at least be aware of both the "GOV.UK PaaS" and UKCloud.

After learning that GOV.UK’s hosting platform PaaS is being decommissioned, the Energy Performance of Buildings Register team decided to migrate all their hosting to AWS. In this post, Barry, Developer, explains what they did.

Amazon’s next frontier in advertising: the cloud infrastructure it runs on
The ad dollars are nice but the real prize for Amazon is the infrastructure itself -- the rails on which the entire system runs.

Starting the fourth chapter "The Rise of the Web" of #ThisIsForEveryone, I am pleasently surprised to find out a librarian — Louise Addis of the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC) — played an important, supportive role in the very first days of the web.

@… Whose Transfer screen is shown in that image? Probably not Qobuz or Spotify. A third party app? A web service?

“Additionally, Cursor’s Amazon Web Services bills more than doubled from $6.2 million in May 2025 to $12.6 million in June 2025, exacerbating a cash crunch that began when Anthropic introduced Priority Service Tiers, an aggressive rent-seeking measure that begun what I call the Subprime AI Crisis, where model providers begin jacking up the prices on their previously subsidized rates.”

I can help but feel this "feature" should raise more concerns than it does alleviate them.
