It looks like the law firm leading the claim for damages from BA about its website breach is going to spend £1 million on advertising for claimants.

And a court has said that it can’t recover for that. lawgazette.co.uk/law/1m-cost-o

@feld I can highly recommend using a second, offline password manager of 2FA backup codes (as an alternative to writing them down on a piece of paper) as well as using an app like AndOTP, which works wonderful and provides secure backup functionality.

Some hints about that: shivering-isles.com/Why-I-use-

Comes out, in August 2020 German 🇩🇪 government - bypassing Bundestag and public opinion - offered a massive fossil gas deal to US 🇺🇸 administration - a promise to spend 1 billion USD on LNG imports infrastructure for "unhindered construction and operation" of NordStream2. So for the right to import more fossil gas, they offered the right to import even more fossil gas - and call it "decarbonisation" 🍀

Man to pay £25,000 damages over negative TrustPilot review

And, in what I guess is a manifestation of the Streisand Effect, now numerous people are leaving 1 star reviews on the firm’s TrustPilot page, turning it into a comments page.

Niebezpiecznik: "Telewizja TVP Info przegrała w sądzie i musiala opublikować przeprosiny na stronie głównej. Wejdźcie i zobaczcie jak zupełnie przypadkiem strona się Wam przesuwa tak, żeby przeprosin całych nie dojrzeć.
Kod strony pokazuje jak bardzo “przypadkowe” jest to przesunięcie."

Ja pieprzę...

Oh holy crap I found the culprit!

#Firefox came with this Widevine DRM extension by #Google. That was overriding uBlock Origin. As soon as I disabled the YT ads were gone. TIL.

We have this interesting feature proposal for /e/OS: a second "panic" PIN code that can fully erase the device in case of emergency. It's been rejected by Google for Android.

Do you think we should implement it?

Dmitrij Głuchowski – Tekst | prawda słowa, prawda ekranu

Tekst, to wyjątkowo rosyjska książka. Oczywiście mógłbym sobie wyobrazić, że napisał ją, ktoś inny, jakiś inny autor z któregoś z byłych demoludów, ale mam wrażenie, że cala historia w niej zawarta rozpadałaby się jak spróchniała wieżyczka w dalekiej zonie, gdyby umiejscowić ją gdziekolwiek w zachodnich realiach… [...]

When developing HTTP-related software it was always driving me mad that *each* author must have had come up with their own way of formatting parameters in the HTTP headers.

For example HSTS uses semicolon:

Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=63072000; includeSubDomains; preload

but then Expect-CT uses comma:

Expect-CT: max-age=600000, enforce

Now RFC 8941 brings some order to this mess:

rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc8941.htm

RFC 8941: Structured Field Values for HTTP

Plusieurs en-têtes #HTTP sont structurés, composés d'éléments qu'un logiciel peut analyser. C'est le cas de Accept-Language: ou de Content-Disposition:. Mais chaque en-tête structuré a sa propre syntaxe, sans rien en commun avec les autres en-têtes structurés. Ce nouveau #RFC propose des types de données et des algorithmes que les futurs en-têtes pourront utiliser pour standardiser un peu l'analyse.

looking into this i'm a bit confused

"Yggdrasil takes a very different approach. Rather than just accepting that the internet is a sprawling conglomeration of unstructured networks connected together in an unstructured fashion, we instead arrange the routing scheme of the entire network into a global spanning tree." (yggdrasil-network.github.io/ab
)

doesn't a tree structure imply there is a central, extremely high bandwidth, node at the root ?
