    "my country" (UK) is now a place where it seems people give you abuse for a decision to continue to try to protect yourself. That's not going to adversely affect others, so why do this???? More 😠😠😠

    I got abuse yesterday from a middle aged guy in Tesco because I was wearing a mask. So for the record, I WILL continue to wear my mask until deaths from Covid are ZERO. I will get the booster vaccination as soon as I can. If this means you think I am a stupid old woman, so be it.

    It's really quite sad to see the responses to this. Many from people looking at the UK from the outside, and unfortunately even from the inside I agree with many of them ...

    Great to see on this list. I grew up there and visited the Castle and Stirling Bridge again (which I used to cross each day on my way to school) during a Scotland trip last month. My favourite castle to visit in the UK!

    has anyone experience "martian source" packets from a fibre router? Seem to be appearing with a source address of 255.255.255.0 and router isn't successfully giving IPv4 addresses out to machines on WiFi. No changes to the connected devices that I know of recently.

    Hell yeah! 😎 (There are already a couple of ports kicking around that I've built and use but this is great to see the first steps towards getting it in the main code streams)

    We would like to propose a new project called "RISC-V Port". The goal of the project will be to provide a full featured port of OpenJDK on the RISC-V platform. The current project would only target Linux. more @

    It does seem that a lot of the internet is broken due to a LetsEncrypt certificate expiry *sigh* Would potentially explain an issue I hit (but didn't delve into) earlier today.

    Sysadmin 101 - it's always worth checking DNS as a primary suspect if it's a random networking/connectivity issue🙄🙄 This is why people having slack problems are still able to connect via mobile - it's down to the TTL of your DNS and so potentially your ISP.

    I get that people are trying to blame the media for panic buying fuel, but when forecourts of one supplier were running low, they'd put out a statement () would we really expect it not to be reported? If it hadn't it would have spread on social media anyway

    Ned to make more effort to daignose why my C360 (Windows/arm) doesn't always suspend on closing the lid. Means I often come back to a dead battery if I haven't noticed the light isn't pulsing when closing it. Wasn't obvious why when I tried to reproduce before
