私も東日本大震災のときの菅直人の対応はめちゃくちゃまともだったと思っていて、でもなぜか震災対応が最悪だったということになっているので、最悪だったのは非協力的だった当時の野党の自民党だということを語り継いでいきたい

【健之堂虎乳芝強肺免疫配方特約】由本月25日起,市民乘搭公共及私家巴士、私家小巴、貨車後排座位及特別用途車輛時,如座位設有安全帶,乘客必須佩戴;同日起,新登記的相關車輛亦須在座位配備安全帶。警方表示,理解新法例生效初期市民需要時間適應,初步將以宣傳及教育為主,提醒市民遵守新要求,期望逐步建立自覺佩戴安全帶的安全文化。

警務處交通總部法例檢討及策劃組總督察莊金印指出,市民現時普遍已接受乘坐私家車時佩戴安全帶,今次擴大佩戴要求,有助市民及學童養成自覺使用安全帶的習慣,並更有效減少交通意外造成的傷亡。他表示,警方會透過日常執法觀察及檢查執行情況,如接獲市民投訴或情報,亦會展開針對性行動;執法時會審視每宗個案的實際情況及違例者的解釋,作出公平公正的決定後才衡量是否提出檢控。

Question for people using an alternative OS on am device: I'm using on , and though I live in Japan, I'm having trouble finding Japan-specific apps that I'm sure on the Japanese version of the Google Store. Does Aurora Store default to the US version? Can it be changed? [Edit: Solved. See my reply below. I'll leave this up just in case someone else has the same problem.]

Hi Mastodon!

I am Muiz, a student pursuing Computer Science, with a liking for Mathematics, Emulation Programming, Computer Graphics and Backend Engineering.

Far as my hobbies go, I love reading, travel, Game Boy Advance (GBA) games, chess and photography to name a few.

Would love to connect with people sharing a similar background and interests :blobcat:

アメリカ合衆国の政治はひどいと思うけど、ミネアポリス市長とかヒルトン系列のホテルとかがICEは出ていけと堂々と言ったり、政権批判をするセレブリティがいっぱいいたりするのは本当にうらやましい

A few days ago, a client’s data center (well, actually a server room) "vanished" overnight. My monitoring showed that all devices were unreachable. Not even the ISP routers responded, so I assumed a sudden connectivity drop. The strange part? Not even via 4G.

I then suspected a power failure, but the UPS should have sent an alert.

The office was closed for the holidays, but I contacted the IT manager anyway. He was home sick with a serious family issue, but he got moving.

To make a long story short: the company deals in gold and precious metals. They have an underground bunker with two-meter thick walls. They were targeted by a professional gang. They used a tactic seen in similar hits: they identify the main power line, tamper with it at night, and send a massive voltage spike through it.

The goal is to fry all alarm and surveillance systems. Even if battery-backed, they rarely survive a surge like that. Thieves count on the fact that during holidays, owners are away and fried systems can't send alerts. Monitoring companies often have reduced staff and might not notice the "silence" immediately.

That is exactly what happened here. But there is a "but": they didn't account for my Uptime Kuma instance monitoring their MikroTik router, installed just weeks ago. Since it is an external check, it flagged the lack of response from all IPs without needing an internal alert to be triggered from the inside.

The team rushed to the site and found the mess. Luckily, they found an emergency electrical crew to bypass the damage and restore the cameras and alarms. They swapped the fried server UPS with a spare and everything came back up.

The police warned that the chances of the crew returning the next night to "finish" the job were high, though seeing the systems back online would likely make them move on. They also warned that thieves sometimes break in just to destroy servers to wipe any video evidence.

Nothing happened in the end. But in the meantime, I had to sync all their data off-site (thankfully they have dual 1Gbps FTTH), set up an emergency cluster, and ensure everything was redundant.

Never rely only on internal monitoring. Never.

Yesterday, after a mild query by some parents, my daughter’s primary school sent out a notice to say they were going to stop using their X account for comms.

It’s as simple as that. There are plenty of alternatives.

But even if there weren’t you can’t contribute to that.

And it can be as simple as
asking to prompt a change.

Any recommendations/suggestions for mail providers in the EU you're happy with if one were being asked about where to move to from gmail? None of the gmail exclusive features are too important and criteria are more the usual of decent support, stability, security as much as possible/reasonable.
