I too have watched Brass Eye, and they literally had MPs telling people about the dangers of "cake" in a previous episode. It showed that MPs and TV celebrities would literally say anything Anchorman style if it was put on a telep

I didn't have someone looking over my shoulder constantly while I was solving A-level Maths proofs. Which is what they are typically asking you to do.

The mistake you are making is that you are taking a LinkedIn post at face value. The LinkedIn post is rage/engagement bait. The problems are usually harder e.g. write a Roman Numeral Converter in 25 minutes that satisfies these tests.

It has the benefit of banning bots that hammer you SSH trying to log in. Even if password auth is disabled. I've had friends that setup a small VPS and they've been hammered by bots, which can use a lot of resource on a £5/£1

No it isn't a "generous interpretation". You seem to be taking very uncharitable interpretation while insinuating they are some sort of unrepentant racist. I am not sure why you are doing that. I find it extremely tiresome. I

The irony is that they cannot deal with an insurgency if it was organised offline or via secure messaging platforms. They simply don't have the man power to deal with it. At the moment only a few people realise this, if that changes an
