Single data point by the looks of it but dang, TCP RTT from North Korea to one of our CDNs is slow AF, 1.53 seconds.

For comparison, the mean values around Europe are in the order of 25-30ms.

Amount of AI I use at work: 0
Amount I am falling behind my peers: Also 0

Maybe AI is a thing for some people but not for me.

TCP RTT for a BBC telemetry service by country from end user/client to closest CDN [1] PoP.

Larger, redder circles are slower/worse.

This neatly illustrates the global web performance divide.

TCP: Transmission Control Protocol
RTT: Round Trip Time
PoP: Point of Presence

[1] I can't name the CDN, sorry, corp/competition rules.

For my blog and newsletter, I wrote about a growing trend of regular consumers finding security bugs, flaws, and data leaks but having no way to report them to the companies.

In this blog, I make the case why *every* organization should make it easy for anyone to alert them to security issues. You might also avoid getting an alarming email from an inquiring reporter like me...

Thanks for sharing! ❤️

Why every organization should make it easy to report security flaws

Companies make it too challenging to report security bugs and data leaks. Having a dedicated security email address could save your company from a damaging hack.

The man who allegedly attacked Trump wrote in his manifesto that he is a Christian and believes his actions are the Christian thing to do.

I've heard no one in corporate media ask these questions:
•Where was he radicalized?
•What church did he attend?
•Who was his pastor or minister?
•Why didn't his Church community report him?

These questions sound ridiculous, right? They are. Remember that next time they try to demonize all Muslims or all immigrants for one person's actions.

I'd very much appreciate it if Grafana didn't remove annotation markers on a panel whilst updating the annotations data.
Surely it makes more sense to leave the markers in place until the data is refreshed?
