Who the fuck targets a public hospital with a ransomware attack?

Firstly, as the British Library demonstrated, public institutions are NEVER going to pay.

Secondly, holy FUCK those people! In addition to having no prospects of ever getting a pay out, I hope we throw the full weight of our intelligence services behind ruining the rest of their worthless lives.

@mattb I doubt it was targeted as such,more likely it showed up in show form of scan or maybe accidentally infection

@coldclimate@hachyderm.io avatar

@mattb once you're exploited and encrypted, you're as fucked as if it was targeted

coldclimate,
@coldclimate@hachyderm.io avatar

@mattb that's true, but I guess it depends on the level of backups etc.

@badge Is it common for the sim to not respect clicking on the buttons? I can'tactually interact with it at all.

Clicking on the D button in the GUI for example not a lot happens though the following is logged out

Hexpansion inserted in port: 4
Scan found no eeproms

Geeks, any thoughts on home mesh kit?

  • I don't want anything that has a SAAS component/subscription to it
  • I've a 3 bed semi - does not need to smash through lots of walls
  • Ideally the mesh points would hve USb so I can power other things off them and reduce my plug us.

What's all this 4/5/6/7 stuff about?

Follow up - is this article https://www.tomsguide.com/us/best-mesh-router,review-5191.html full of shit of should I just buy their best value recommendation the TP-Link Deco XE75?

@jamesholden interesting, thank you. I have GB internet and don't have the ability to hardwire, which is frustrating

coldclimate,
@coldclimate@hachyderm.io avatar

@jamesholden I have ports on the router, but I can't run the cabling round the house easily. Currently I have a cable going out of the window (trapped in the closed window), over the building, and in the other side. An AP on the end of it might work though.

@jamesholden Ideal. If we were doing any building work I'd likely do the same, but now I'd trying to get around the problems.

this last week has been such a complete mindset change that I genuinely forgot work was a thing.

I should go do stuff.

Installed on the 8th of December 2023 and retrieved this morning, a #solargraph from the roof of The Baltic Arts Centre.

We installed 2, but one didn't come out (mostly because I forgot to take the tape off the hole!!!)

I didn't manage to fit https://hachyderm.io/@coldclimate/112512932209525390 or the other input devices in the car to bring to swap shop. They're too interesting to bin, of anybody would like them let me know and we'll figure it out. I'm in Gateshead.

Super interesting former train station for sale, the London terminus of the Necropolis Railway

https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/147548858#/&channel=COM_BUY

Used to carry mourners and the dead from London to a new cemetery at Brookwood in Surrey, and operational until 1941

Oh holy fuck THIS IS ME 👀

It’s exhausting: the process of realisation that you’re #actuallyAutistic and unpicking 40yrs of fudges and workarounds so entrenched that you forget you’re going against your own nature, but it’s been costing you in energy, identity and self-esteem the whole time.

And I know the office tea-round seems like a fucking PATHETIC thing to lose sleep over, but imagine what it does to your confidence to feel incompetent about something so trivial. 😳

I regret not getting a photo of our tiny installation in the Lounge during dark hours, but delighted that we got to put something we'd built in display. Thanks to Jonathan from the team who found a spot for us last-minute!

Glowing orange and green lanterns, made to look like translucent crystals about 20cm in diameter. They're being prototyped on a desk, with electronics exposed.

@C_Bugs_B I saw these from a distance and didn't remember to wander over, is there more info somewhere, because they looked delightful

Grim - Farage's views & methods are pure Trump. He’s spent his political career whipping up nasty, racist, populist division & rather than simply trying to push Tories even further to the right, he’s now setting up an even more extreme alternative power base. Profoundly dangerous

I am home from EMF. My feet are bruised and blistered, my ankle is still bleeding, I twisted my knee, my hips hurt, I'm sunburned, my lip is split, my hands are covered in bruises and scratches, and it was 100% worth it.
