RTO for "watercooler moments" is the laziest way I can think of to increase collaboration. It's like saying "hey, we're shit at communicating, but if you're in the office maybe you'll stumble over some information you need to know".

I'll be honest with you, the day we can finally get rid of "security awareness training" will be a good day. If sounds like an excuse, it feels like an excuse, and our users have better things to be doing than compensating for the failures of the security industry.

I'm glad Joe Biden got to visit Ireland while President, an extraordinary homecoming and celebration for his ancestors who left so many years ago, and we were so proud to have him here. I think the entire world was relieved that he prevented a Trump second term. Hero.

"Ogham" is an alphabet that emerged in #Ireland in early medieval times. There's a few surviving examples of it, mostly carved into prominent boulders/stones. During a recent days #hiking in Wicklow we passed close to one of those stones - if you look closely at the photos below you can see the Ogham carvings going around the edge.

I will subscribe to a service which filters this stuff for me, and gets rid of the dross - it's like spinning a roulette wheel at the moment. Take my money.

I'm not a poetic type of person, but for me one of the great things about hiking is being in those moments where you switch off and think you are in wilderness - even if it's only briefly in a misty forest on a cold damp day about 30 minutes from the centre of Dublin. There's something about these places that I think many of us need.

I don't think people are really talking enough about how MFA bypass attacks are a massive problem. MFA has been a relatively simple and robust control for many businesses for a long time, and that control is no longer as safe as it used to be.
