  • If you’re just interested in connections (and don’t care about packet inspection) you can use Little Snitch (paid) or LuLu (FOSS).

    Actually, all the Objective-See Foundation security tools are great and target specific classes of vulnerabilities, like LuLu for outgoing network connections, RansomWhere for detecting ransomwear by looking for encryption events, Oversight that monitors you cameras and microphones and a bunch of other really small, but really useful security utilities. Better than running a shady antivirus that’s going to suck up loads of resources and rely on signatures.












  • I’ve literally never even seen, or even heard of, a gas mower. Almost all of them are electric (and our electricity mix isn’t perfect, but is better than a lot of places) with the odd one being petrol for especially large gardens, but that’s increasingly rare.

    Why the fuck would anyone use gas? That would be awful. Do you mean natural gas from the mains? Hydrogen? Bottled Calor gas? I’ve absolutely no idea what a gas mower could even be and searching is giving zero results that make sense.



  • It’s not, so far as I can tell, saying that the project cannot be done. The Red rating, equivalent to unachievable, is measuring against the goals set for the project, including financial.

    So what this is saying (or rather confirming) is that it’s not achievable based on the current project goals. Or to put it another way, it’s over budget and cannot be delivered within budget.

    So yeah, still not great that we can’t deliver something like this on budget, but if you look in to how it was originally costed for the business case there are holes in the logic large enough to drive several high speed trains through. Sideways. Hopefully the benefits are large enough that they still go through with it, but I suspect that’s largely dependent on which narratives take hold during the run up to the next election and whether the Tories can gaslight people in to thinking that country finances work the same way as personal finances.




  • Hasn’t seen Barbie yet asserts that 1) Another movie is better and 2) the movie they’ve not seen is “woke shit”.

    Yep, about the level of discourse I’d expect from someone who uses the word “woke” unironically.

    Also, i strongly suspect you’re not getting your opinions from trailers, but rather from the typical brain dead right wing mouthpieces who completely missed the point of Barbie, because of course they did.
