We live in an age where adverts that promote gambling are accepted while adverts that encourage investment are not.

Cryptocurrency ads by trading platforms, exchanges and a pizza chain broke rules, the ASA found.

Surprising (perhaps not) that ed25519 isn't defined in FIPS 140-2 while certain other curves are. #RandomThoughts

Not entirely sure what I expected my #yubikey to do but I am sure it's not doing it.

The media had a lovely day, slobbering over royal trivia. They must be sick and tired of holding the Government to account, day after day. #bbcnews #sarcasm

Aside from being a lovely programming language to use. #Go apps are a joy to install and maintain. One binary, copy it, start it.

I'm pleased that a group of youngsters can disrupt a powerful capitalistic financial system intended to make rich people richer. #GameStop

Why would anyone choose to get news through Facebook? I can't imagine a less trusted source.

Looking for a reasonable Filesystem alert threshold formula. Percent is okay but 90% of 10TB is nothing to worry about while 90% of 1GB is an impending issue. #prometheus #alertmanager

There are a lot of frightened #Trump supporters in America at the moment. Frightened of everyone and everything that isn't quite like them.

Fair play Microsoft. I'm a vim guy but VSC on Linux is really nice.

Boris has been destroyed in PMQs recently. The actions of Cummings are unlikely to ease his passage through next week's. #sackcummngs

When you have a 17 year old #PGP key using DSA1024 but you don't want to replace it because it's signed by some wonderful people, including @lensassaman. #cryptodilema

Genius tactic: Get the mighty Raab to make a stupid, grovelling statement before Boris does. It's right up there with Trump provoking a war when he needs an election boost. #WhereIsBorisJohnson

To all those poor souls in the North who are suffering flood damage. In 2017 the EU stepped in and donated 60,000,000 Euros for flood damage. They will do it again. Bastards aren't they?

If I was asked to explain the goals of the protests in Hong Kong, I would, at best, be vague.

So a shout-out to all the journalists & news orgs & citizen sleuths & lawyers & academics & MPs & ordinary decent people who have worked so hard to bring the truth about @arron_banks & @Nigel_Farage to light. We are many & they are few. And we will win

There are far too many journalists in the UK at the moment who have turned their backs on the moral obligation of honesty. Taking a salary to peddle lies does not a journalist make.

No more BBC Four or BBC News in HD from Freeview. We had it, now we don't and that's progress? Very little info to be found but apparently #OFCOM can make more profit by giving the bandwidth to Mobile Services.
