German 'Biber' mini-submarine, Gosport, 2005. These weren't a huge success, and were often more dangerous to their crew than to allied shipping. #photography
This talk on privacy by Prof. Alessandro Acquisti is excellent

My son came out of his room this morning and asked if I wanted to say good morning to Bofa, so we're at that stage.
A little corner of the Solent, Southampton 2005. The big orange thing is a car RO-RO transporter. The solent is an extremely busy waterway. #photograpy Canon 300D, EF 70-200 F4 L.
Previously anything that wasn't supported by the proprietary client didn't work, so I was restricted to deb-based which isn't terrible but still...
Just discovered our corporate VPN has a TOTP mode which supports Openconnect. Once again I can use my preferred distro to remote in to work #Linux
@h_thoreson I don't know if you've watched any Sam Holmes, he prints a lot of little things for his boat and foil boards. It's pretty interesting (I know little of 3D printing...)

First weekend where it's really felt like the retreat of Winter. Able to remain outside after sunset in short-sleeves, as long as the wind doesn't blow. There's a smell of bbq in the air too. I don't mind it at all.
An old (2017) thing I wrote about electric motorbikes. I think they've only got better since. They've also -along with everything else - got more expensive. #EV #motorcycle

A container ship under pilotage navigates the Savannah river. There's not much room. Must be a lot of work to keep that bit of river deep enough; these vessels have a pretty deep draught. #maritime #shipping

'In a statement shared on Friday, MSI urged users "to obtain firmware/BIOS updates only from its official website," and to avoid using files from other sources.
'While this may sound like common sense, it's not unusual to find custom BIOS firmware for PC hardware, particularly for GPUs, floating around enthusiast forums.
'... Money Message bragged on their dark-web site what they claimed to be screenshots of MSI's CTMS and ERP databases, as well as source code, private keys, and BIOS firmware [!].
'Indeed, the gang claims to have all the tools necessary to develop a potentially malicious BIOS and then digitally sign it in a way that it appears legitimate and can be installed on victims' PCs once they're lured into downloading it'.
This is fine.

AI cameras are being installed across Iran to identify women not wearing hijab. When techbro bullshit has real world consequences.. again. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-65220595
Listening to some Bill Hicks I hadn't heard before and still laughing at God inventing marijuana and then having to invent Republicans to counter it
