Are you a boy or a girl?
I'm nonbinary.

Yeah, but what were you born as?
A baby.

No, I mean what is your sex?
Awesome.

FFS! Do you have a penis or a vagina??
I've had my share of both.

OMFG!! WHAT IS IN YOUR PANTS??
A frankly disturbing number of lockpicks.

Very nice report on the fire at North Hyde substation which took down Heathrow in March.

tl;dr:

* Fire was caused by moisture ingress in a high voltage bushing which was detected in 2018 but got lost in the system.
* North Hyde is an ageing substation which didn't have adequate protection against spread of fire
* Heathrow didn't think that a loss of grid feed was a plausible risk, so they assumed 10-12 hours was a reasonable recovery time from that.

My QNAP NAS died an abrupt death today that not even the application of a 100ohm resistor could resuscitate.

I also learnt that:

1. I no longer had the encryption key
2. The external backup to USB silently stopped working in February

So any recommendations for a replacement? SMB and Docker are my needs, as well as having something take care of things for me.

I hear Synology are vendor locking drives as well so…? Halp?

Last couple of days to have your say.

Please do respond especially if you are an ally. https://infosec.exchange/@alexlomas/114681391090197556

If you have some time this weekend, please consider responding to the EHRC consultation on its proposed statutory code of practice. It's especially important if you are cis or own a company or service provider, or participate in non competitive sports like Park Run. The proposed changes are illogical and a legal nightmare to implement and you might want to have your say before you end up with a legal issue to navigate. Guidance on responding: https://transactual.org.uk/equality-act-campaign/responding-to-the-ehrc-consultation/

We watched activists disrupt a ‘gender-critical’ meeting dressed as clowns

Last night, members of The Dyke Project – a collective of cis, trans and nonbinary lesbians – unleashed a series of surreal disruptions at a trans-excusionary lecture

@wyldtom @stella IKEA is the largest logging company in the world, responsible for the destruction of thousands of ecosystsems , illigal logging and colonisation all around the world.

Their actions in Sapmí and Romania alone would land them in the Hague, this is Pinkwashing of ecocide, genocide and colonialism

FUCK IKEA, NO CORPOS AT PRIDE

@anarchokat @wyldtom @stella

I can attest to there being an awful lot of corporations at Oslo Pride. Quite annoying. At the very least they should be furthest at the back of the line, and not in front of any queer organizations.

When the parade lasts for hours, that's just not cool. That's taking up queer time and space on the day when we're celebrating queer people and queer culture
