I'm that minutia in your statistics that is still rocking NoScript in 2026, enabling JavaScript on a site-by-site basis, but this is increasingly difficult with the modern web. Hopefully these and others modern HTML features gain adopt

Second for NATS. I've deployed Core NATS as few times now at scale, including within financial trading. It's been a dream to operate. I have limited experience with JetStream, but coming from Kafka and Rabbit MQ, it seemed nearly

This post touches on a realisation I made a while ago, just how far you can get with the guarantees and trade-offs of object storage. What actually _needs_ to be in the database? I've never gone as far as building a job queue on top of

Have a look at https://goreleaser.com/ , I've used it a bunch to automate releases of Go-based projects, locally and with GitHub Actions.

UK citizen and 23andMe customer here. How likely is the sale of UK/EU customer data, or is it worth submitting a GDPR deletion request anyway? Get my data deleted before it's sold.

Not sure what questions Microsoft have to answer. A third-party vendor shipped defective software. I guess the only question they could answer is why they don't provide a framework like Apple do with Endpoint Security for third-party v

I was recently in hospital with not-so-great WiFi. With the mobile app, I would often notice Spotify loading album artwork, lyris, artist information and even video before playing the music. It's network prioritisation is deeply discon

Why is silently patching considered a "no-no by the infosec community"? If your product's automatic update functionality can reach most users within the responsible disclosure window, that sounds like a net positive? We still

The ICO has always been a bit of a wet blanket. Never really uses its powers effectively. From pathetic fines to putting out press releases about raids before they happen. £140k is just the cost of doing business with 79 million spam emails

I don't like this. Is there a reason for using a stringified method prefix? I'd prefer the type safety of verb-specific methods (i.e. mux.Get, mux.Post etc) than magic strings validated at run time. Additionally editors can autoco

I'm based in the UK and have a passive interest in amateur radio. If I had to guess, it isn't outright forbidden, just a licensed activity. Maybe the license isn't easy to get or widely granted?

I bought a Dyson V7, and the battery life even from new is atrocious. On a full charge, unable to cover my very modest London flat, and of course, it cannot be used while charging. I even fitted a larger aftermarket battery. Still awkward t

+1 for the C920. Got lucky and got one before the prices of webcams went crazy due to pandemic demand. Think they are back to around ~£60 now. It just works. Plugged it in, picked up within macOS without a problem, immediately usable in Goo

What you'll find difficult is establishing trust. I have no reason to believe your review site is a shill for another company, but I have no reason not to believe that either. It was recently revealed that Kape Technologies, a former m
