    @geniusmusing The government has shown shocking incompetence at protecting employees' information. They (and their contractors) are not likely to better protect taxpayers' data, nor are they going to be quick to respond when crackers subvert this facial biometrics system and get billions of tax refund dollars sent to accounts in Belarus.

    EU Wants To Build Its Own DNS Infrastructure With Built-in Filtering Capabilities Slashdot
    https://nu.federati.net/url/284701

    >The European Union is interested in building its own recursive DNS service that will be made available to EU institutions and the general public for free. From a report:
    >The proposed service, named DNS4EU, is currently in a project planning phase, and the EU is looking for partners to help build a sprawling infrastructure to serve all its current 27 member states. EU officials said they started looking into an EU-based centrally-managed DNS service after observing consolidation in the DNS market around a small handful of non-EU operators. "The deployment of DNS4EU aims to address such consolidation of DNS resolution in the hands of few companies, which renders the resolution process itself vulnerable in case of significant events affecting one major provider," officials said in the DNS4EU infrastructure project revealed last week. But EU officials said that other factors also played a role in their decision to build DNS4EU, including cybersecurity and data privacy.

    I watched the 1960s TV show, so I was expecting the bat signal, a searchlight with a bat-shaped dark pattern that pointed into the sky.

    #Daddy_A is so happy with his new body that he took a shirtless photo, something he hasn't done since childhood. He told me about it, but he didn't send it to me. I guess he's still got a way to go before he's able to feel comfortable showing it to people.

    Also, the family member with a recent medical issue is out of the hospital and recovering at home.

    They immediately started making the platform's best games. At least for the year or two that I played the Atari 2600 VCS. Chopper Command and Pitfall were amazing! I think they also made one where YOU are the space invader, battling to take over someone else's planet.

    Oh, and they were playing "Grandpa bought you that" with various toys, books, and clothing items. I think the boys really enjoyed that. The older child also enjoys teaching Grandpa about dinosaurs, but the only words I understood were "long, long, long neck".

    Last night's #videochat was mostly about getting some time with #GS4. He's standing and working on walking and babbling at Grandpa. He believes that any time someone eats, he should eat also.

    #GS3 is at the "no, I don't like that" stage, so no matter what dinner is, he doesn't want it until he is enticed to try it. He was just starting to eat as we started the videochat.

    The younger child kept trying to go over to where his brother was sitting and eating, so he could try to eat with him.

    At the end, GS4 went to bed, GS3 decided he wasn't going to say goodbye. We hung up. GS3 started crying because he didn't get to say goodbye, so we reconnected, but he still refused to say it.

    @geniusmusing I was just telling someone recently that the vaccines needed to be combined specifically because it is already too much hassle to juggle #coronavirus boosters and annual #influenza shots.
    My understanding is that the current flu vax sometimes doesn't protect much. It depends whether they pick the right strains. Unless they figure out how to cover a larger variety of strains.

    I see y'all are still joking about #Funko_Pop figurines. I think they're okay. I don't see myself ever owning one, but if you do, it is okay. Now if you're still collecting #Teletubbies stuff, I get to laugh at you a little bit. But only a little, because obviously it means something to you, or you would have moved on to something else.
