Speaking as a knuckle scraper perhaps Cisco should consider adapting their idea to deal with port scanners.

On a lighter note it probably needs DPI with the side effect of Improving your Internet Browsing Experience.

@glynmoody Sorry to bother. Did the Linux Mint UK Mirrors just get trashed?

I download an ISO, supposedly 22 Wilma. Presumably my fault for not checking the SHA.

It says it is 22 Wilma and then wants me to login as Mint on Sylvia 18.3. I get bored and do an OEM install and brick my puter.

Normally it would spot that I am in the UK but it started off by placing me in the US.

A bit of a pain but I was trashing it anyway.

@glynmoody Indeed. They are prone to apologizing when you point out where they went wrong in a nice way. Could be a new opportunity for SEO/APP spammers to transition to a new form of grift. One to look out for in your emails from random Hotmail accounts.

@glynmoody If I get a feedback loop wrong things rapidly go to shit in a localized area so I open the window to let the smoke out and replace the blown up bits. Is that option available here or will AI make us frogs dumb before it boils us?

With hindsight this now has to be pointed out to the reader, a possible misinterpretation corrected, but what happens when we choose to eat the AI garbage?

It doesn't seem to do too well when fed its own shit. What happens when it poisons its source?

Looks like Space Karen is having problems transitioning Twitter to X.

This is an entry in my Postfix logs that suggests Elon should not be appointed as an Efficiency Commissar for the US unless you want to end up with many broken things.

Of course I am not a Rocket Scientist so I could be wrong however I am inclined to trust Postfix.
