Cyber attack on M&S likely to cost them about £300m.

Somewhere some manager refused security measures or a pentest citing the costs.

Elsewhere there's an engineer muttering "I fucking told you so" quietly while rocking back and forth.

Cyber security is one of those line items that looks purely as a cost, and not a cheap one at that.

But the risk of getting it wrong is very very high.

M&S cyber-attack disruption to last until July and cost £300m

Customers have been unable to order online for almost a month due to the cyber-attack.

My meeting with electronic music was mid of the 70s when Jean Michel Jarre released his first Album "Oxygène" (1976). It was really kind of alien space music at this time. :0)

The beginnings of electronic music!

"The 1974 Eurovision Song Contest was the nineteenth edition of the competition. It took place on Saturday, April 6, 1974, in Brighton, United Kingdom. It was won by Sweden, with the song "Waterloo," performed by ABBA".

ABBA's harmonies must have had an influence on my desire to become a musician. The vocal harmonies were magnificent.

At fairs, the huge bass speakers pierced you on this song, and many others with powerful bass lines.

A year ago I explained how #curl came to get the colon-slash-slash logo

daniel.haxx.se/blog/2024/05/21…


A history of a logo with a colon and two slashes

In the 2015 time frame I had come to the conclusion that the curl logo could use modernization and I was toying with ideas of how it could be changed. The original had served us well, but it definitely had a 1990s era feel to it.

If you wish to make a language proposal, you must convince a Zig core team member to file it on your behalf and champion it.

I think it's just right place right time, desktops like GNOME are looking to go Wayland only, Fedora wants to do the same on Workstation and KDE, COSMIC is entering beta soon and it's Wayland only, RHEL 10 just came out and that's Wayland only. And everyone kind of knows that things are not at the level they should be
