Happy crisp sandwich day to all who celebrate.

Ready salted and cheddar with a smidge of mustard for lunch today.

This is a fun, but incredibly addictive game. It’s basically the Cities Skylines / Mini Metro / Factorio equivalent, but for building an internet.

If you’re the kind of person that can blink and accidentally lose a couple of hours when playing those other games, then set a timer before you click!

Here's my summary of why websites are offline right now, and why nerds are laughing at the number 4.

I've attempted to explain the jargon in use, so those interested but not working in tech have a chance at understanding what's going on.

Know some stressed infosec/devops people right now? here’s why:

🔹 SSL certificates 🔐 keep the web secure, and keys to 8 of them have been compromised, meaning attackers can impersonate websites & services. Keys are passwords hundreds of characters long, but one of the compromised keys was just the digit “4”.

Firefox, Chrome, & Apple Safari browsers have all applied workarounds; but loads of other stuff relies on these certificates of authenticity and they will need to be manually updated.

I wholeheartedly believe that every man should watch this video, because i bet none can grasp quite how terribly women get treated, even at work, without being challenged

“I gave a talk at EMF titled "Men in Tech #YesAllMen", in which I told my experience of being a woman in tech. I was afraid to publish it in case it affected my current or future employment.

With all the current news I would like to add my 2¢. So here is the recording:”

A niche musing I realise…

There are several places in London that O2 are naming rights sponsor of, and they’re just named The O2.

The O2 is what was built as The Millennium Dome & has The O2 Arena, a shopping centre, cinema etc.

The O2 Centre is a shopping centre on the opposite side of London.

Do you think anyone’s ever arranged to meet to go shopping at the O2, but one persons gone to the millennium dome and the other has gone to the Finchley Road shopping centre?

I’m a very tolerant person. I understand that people’s opinions, cultures, and upbringings differ. But the ANSI return key can go fuck itself.

Looked at this thinking:
“well yeah meeting a new friend, deciding they’re not friend material after a week, then saying ‘no thanks’ is great. Saves wasted time”

…for way too long before I spotted“love” was an odd word, then realised it meant going from “let’s not fuck” to “let’s fuck”

I’ve changed my name:
Natalie Gray. (She/her)

For me, this change just feels administrative: I feel exactly the same internally as I did yesterday.

So please don't post big "OMG Congrats on Coming Out"-style stuff, this is a bigger change for you than it is for me :D

It's like when Opal Fruits became Starburst. Or when Jif became Cif. Or when Marathon became Snickers.

Same shit, same package, new name on the label.

(No I don't have any non-UK examples)
