The most British German you'll ever meet 😎 🇪🇺🇬🇧🇺🇦 A decidedly non-eclectic mix of wargaming, politics, Ukraine and memes. BT once addressed me as "Dr Volts" so that is now my secret Cold-War Supervillain identity. Rhubarb is not food and you know it 🥬👊

What I love about Western democracy is you can bung a political party £ 36 million earned from criminal activity & most media will continue to point at asylum seekers & migrant care workers with families as the barbarians at the gate we need to defend ourselves from 🙄.

Meanwhile in Ukraine @meanwhileua.bsky.social · 10/09/2026
Ukraine quietly rolled back a Russian salient Moscow spent about a year building. ㅤ In four months, the 3rd Army Corps retook 200+ km² north of Lyman and pushed Russian forces toward the Zherebets River. ㅤ A year of Russian gains, cut down in four months.

Hey Windows users. Microsoft places an un-opt-out-able Global Device ID That can track you even if use a VPN or proxies. And they're happy to give it to the cops. Time to switch to Linux.

Microsoft admits Windows 11 has a GDID tracker with no off switch, first documented publicly in an FBI hacker complaint
GDID is the persistent Windows ID that helped FBI trace a Scattered Spider hacker despite VPNs. Here's how it works and how to limit it.

I would kill or die for Larry
A small operation in Oregon that hunts truffles with a trained dog has added an unpaid trainee. A cat named Larry accompanies the handler and the truffle dog into the woods every outing, works a patch of ground a little apart from them, and digs with tremendous confidence in places where there is nothing.
The handler says Larry has never found a truffle and shows no sign of understanding the assignment. He does not use scent the way the dog does and he does not respond when the dog makes a find.
He simply digs his own holes nearby and then inspects them. "He thinks he's on the team," the handler said. "He is emphatically not on the team."
