During the first few months of new #Trump administration #WhiteHouse slashed #cybersecurity budgets, staff, and initiatives. And some, including cybersecurity experts & #legislators, are not happy about it. One of them is Colin Ahern, chief cyber officer for state of #NewYork. In a recent interview with TechCrunch, Ahern said that both he and New York Governor #KathyHochul are worried that the Trump administration’s cuts to cybersecurity are putting the country at #risk. techcrunch.com/2025/07/28/new-

TechCrunch · New York state cyber chief calls out Trump for cybersecurity cuts | TechCrunchThe top cybersecurity official in New York told TechCrunch in an interview that Trump's budget cuts are going to put the government at risk from cyberattacks, and will put more pressure on states to secure themselves.

I don't manage a lot of infrastructure on the #Internet, but I manage quite a bit, and I am almost finished with #blocking the entire #UK over #OSA. I have no choice. The way the #law is written anyone who doesn't (and I don't believe in age-verification services as I find them a privacy mine field and nightmare) runs the #risk of an 18 million pound fine.

If you have a server on the Internet you are a fool for not blocking all UK
#traffic.

Full stop.

More climate breakdown predictions:
Weighted net-like blankets,
Headboard extenders for bed or sleeping area.

Previous ideas:
Siestas,
Nocturnal cooking and eating patterns (a bit like Ramadan but) in summer,

Biphasic work patterns or maybe crepuscular (dawn and dusk, like cats' hunting times),
Shorter work week like 20 hours becomes full time -- since multiple rounds of neurodegenerative covid and unacknowledged Long Covid,

Dehumidifier to survive wet bulb humidity,
Cotton and linen skimpy clothing covered by loose flowy plastic crap instead of just using sunblock.

Continued thread

Fundamental societal change of any kind requires direct action, even small, individual ones, that include some measure of risk or sacrifice.

At least as important as politics, and a larger existential threat to our species, is our deteriorating climate.

This is an example of risk and sacrifice in service of one's beliefs that we can all use as a model for helping to affect positive changes for the benefit of all.
