🔐 99% of IT/security pros want to redesign their access setup. Why?

VPNs are clunky. Identity is half-baked. Workarounds are everywhere.

It occurs to me that the are so many YouTube creators now who use the term "rinse and repeat" to mean "repeat" are too young to have ever needed to read a shampoo bottle to pass the time.

Hungary has banned anything that “promotes homosexuality,” which essentially means Pride. Today over 500,000 people in Budapest turned up for a Pride march and told the government to: 'Fuck off!'.

The interoperability era of PCs was a great time. I have so many old phones and tablets with no standard "bios", and various maybe kind of hacks to get some other software running on it.

I just want to be able to install Linux on a tablet that is too old to run the stock os usefully. The screens, even the cpus are decent for a lot of uses, but with no security patches, they're mostly unusable.

There ought to be a law!

I have a short talk featured on PlatformCon's remote stream:
https://platformcon.com/sessions/complexity-simplicity-through-abstraction
Complexity simplicity through abstraction | PlatformCon 2025

This session explores the evolution of network abstraction, highlighting how past approaches introduced unnecessary complexity and how new strategies can simplify operations while enhancing control and security.

@koantig @JenMsft yes, it's on Oark Drive in the west end of Glasgow. It was done by a Glasgow street artist called A Sign of Humour, and that looks like the photo they posted on their instagram account. 👍🙂

It looks like it's going to be a rather nice day, so enjoy the city, and as this sign on Buchanan Street says, don't forget to look up and appreciate the architecture! #glasgow #goodmorning #goodmorningglasgow #architecture #lookup #architecturephotography #glasgowtoday #buchananstreet
