In a recent FT article, the director of Cybersecurity Belgium claimed it was impossible to store data within the EU. "Dream on" he said. This reflects the widespread lack of IT understanding among executives, who should urgently wise up & help us regain our digital autonomy: https://berthub.eu/articles/posts/ft-on-european-cloud/
Europe's executives need to skill up to solve our total US cloud dependency - Bert Hubert's writings

Europe is experiencing a crisis of digital autonomy. Our dependence on US big tech has been growing for decades and is now nearly total, at a time when worries about our former ally are no longer theoretical. Might we, like the International Criminal Court in The Hague, find ourselves locked out of our own mailboxes if we say something that is upsetting to the US government? This post was written in response to an article in the Financial Times.

Bert Hubert's writings

@f4grx @pepper @whitequark when they set out they spin up the gyros while having a very precise fix from the harbour.

Then they update the position if they come up to periscope depth so they can get a GPS fix.

The gyros are extremely precise, at least by most accounts.

@whitequark you should, it is beyond brilliant.

@destevez I stand corrected, thank you.

@whitequark

@f4grx I was thinking that, if GPS does not work then they’ll have fun being so far North with compass & map, assuming they know how to read a map…

@whitequark

@jpmens it reads, in English, "don't bother contacting us if you have a problem".

@whitequark Galileo has a high precision mode for navigation which, if I am not mistaken, was meant to be (is?) a chargeable service.

@Sobex

@th @whitequark @Sobex I definitely still do!

@whitequark @Sobex I am just wondering if Beidou, GLONASS are willing to go into what used to be called “Selected Availability”¹ thereby reducing the accuracy of non-military receivers (SA increases the error radius).

¹ I cannot remember if it was SA or CA mode

@whitequark no, but you can still do it and the signal is eminently jammable.
