@bosak Thanks for the images. I love high quality photos from the past. Not so long ago...

Wawel Castle, Krakow, December 2009. This was on my birthday, and I remember being freezing cold (-20C!) and seeing this from the banks of the Wistula, so I set my camera on the wall and let grabbed a picture. The barge thing in the foreground is a shame but I like the mood.

The sun sets over Giewont, Poland's sleeping knight. 2009, Canon 20D, EF 70-200 F4 L.

@bosak Wow. Is it still there? The mall I mean. I am in a Monroeville and our mall is quite famous due to Dawn of the Dead. Parts of it are very much unchanged but the decor and detailing is very different.

Tatra Mountains, Poland 2009. Near Zakopane. A Summer hiking in the hills is time well spent. Canon EOS 20D, efs 18-55 w/polariser.

The Spinnaker Tower in Portsmouth, 2005. Really clear March day.
EOS 20D, EFs 18-55 w/polariser.

Las Vegas, late 2018. I took a walk around the strip just after sunset, before it got really busy. I like the little splash of light in the the sky in this picture.

@GossiTheDog @wdormann I'm glad so many security people go above and beyond, but this feels like a very close one. Like terrorist cells, how many are out there that we don't know about. It's scary.

It will also kick off that old chestnut about FOSS being fundamentally insecure, a talking point gladly fueled by the big two.

@neil A while ago to @nyquildotorg I quipped about 'The Web of Trust' to which he replied, 'It's from the Web, and you shouldn't trust it' which made me laugh but also made me feel a bit blue, because it really is all very fragile.

@fredy I saw an Ioniq, er, 'thing' on the road the other day and after being outraged at such a strange looking car I the immediately wanted one

Everyone wants a simple solution to the xz incident but the reality hurts. It's going to be expensive and hard work but if we all work together to yeet computers into the sun we might just be able to solve it

At the other end of the train, leading it back from Frostbugh is another Dash 8, this one in the WM livery. Behind it sits the generator car, as I don't think the dash 8 can typically run passenger cars as it is a freight loco. .

@GossiTheDog It seems like deep supply chain attacks like this are going to be the thing for a while. This whole business is just totally depressing.

An ex Norfolk Southern Dash 8 waits in Cumberland MD to lead the scenic railroad service this morning. It's a two hour ride, out and back. Very relaxing.

Covid for the fourth time. This thing still has teeth. Over a week now and had a nasty dip yesterday. Always has a long tail for me.
