I'm really glad that you're enjoying Linux, and I'm doubly glad that your hospital found a solution to keep their system running smoothly!

This could be the hack that ends all hacks--if it actually happened. Does anyone know more?

Facebook has always been first and foremost an advertising platform, and they went where the money is. Some of that's the automated algorithms, some of that is deliberate corporate informationeering.

I offer some thoughts on the decline and fall of the internet here, and I think it's germane to this discussion: https://michaelhjenkins.substack.com/p/visions-of-a-post-apocalyptic-internet?r=26iex9&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&triedRedirect=true

Car dealerships in North America continue to wrestle with major disruptions that started last week with cyberattacks on a software company used widely in the auto retail sales sector.

CDK Global, a company that provides software for thousands of auto dealers in the U.S. and Canada, was hit by back-to-back cyberattacks Wednesday. That led to an outage that has continued to impact operations.

For prospective car buyers, that may mean delays at dealerships or vehicle orders written up by hand, with no immediate end in sight.

On Monday, Group 1 Automotive Inc., a $4 billion automotive retailers, said that it continued to use “alternative processes” to sell cars to its customers.

Turns out even the most "advanced" modes of plastics recycling are bullshit, just as 40+years of plastics recycling efforts before them.

As with our dentention centers on the US/Mexico border, we'll only see select portions of this after they've "addressed the issues" innate to putting people in holding facilities.

In short we've learned nothing, done nothing, and will be caught flat again. If you're not ready, get ready, because no one is coming to save you.

Kessler Syndrome would end space travel and satellite communications for generations. It's worth taking a look at this group and its work.
