Can't wait to see Elon and the Trump administration's calm reaction to this. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c4g9kejzvw0o

We have our first victim of overreacting to the React vuln - the Cloudflare global outage was them taking down their own service while trying to spot an actually very niche vuln.

I heard someone refer to an IT dashboard as a “trashboard” and I can’t stop giggling.

In a world full of people who no longer trust each other, sometimes a small thing happens that just makes everything better.

A week or so ago I asked for German sci-fi books for my middle kid, who is struggling with his German grammar.

He's dyslexic and loves reading *my scifi books* in English, to the detriment of his German.

I asked on the internet, and I got a lot of fantastic advice, including from @lk108 who replied and said he had a whole series, and offered to send them.

So he did, and I happily paid for the postage as soon as he said he'd sent them.

The box arrived today! I had no doubt that they would, a random person who I did not know at all, said they would do something really nice, and I was sure it would be so.

Anyway thanks @lk108 for the lovely offer, and I'm sure Theo will be delighted.

Please give this post a round of boosts because a nice thing happened and we don't hear enough about that.
