So... https://github.com/ appears to be down. Tho Status page is saying everything is fine. Unicorns everwhere.

Just realising that HIBP #haveibeenpwned service is no longer any use to me personally.

While I understand that Troy has had increasing costs and is seeking to mitigate these, especially in light of half the Fortune 500 using the service, I think it has left non-corporate enthusiasts like me out in the cold.

I think Troy addresses these risks pretty clearly in his post at https://www.troyhunt.com/welcome-to-the-new-have-i-been-pwned-domain-search-subscription-service/

But for me, with 1 domain and due to:
1) Trying to use a unique email address per site I actually do sign up for, and
2) Fake entries (perhaps typos) where someone has used my address (Troy confirmed he thinks my entry on the AT&T breach is a typo someone else made);
This results in my domain having (currently) 22 addresses across various breaches.

Well beyond the 10 limit of the 'free' tier.

Thus I'm unable now to determine if any new breach is a fake entry or from an address I did create (potentially also indicating the source of any leak/breach).

Interested in the thoughts of others here.

Power outage across Portugal today except for that huge ball of fusion in the sky. Our room has a dodgy fuse box, so we thought it was just that, but when we went down to report it they said it was everywhere. No Internet or mobile signal to speak of, but we're on the top floor and from our balcony we can get a bit of Edge 2.5G data. Difficult to find any info or news due to lack of Internet or TV.

Found this 20+ish year old relic in mint/unused condition in the cupboard. I was about to throw it in the trash then remembered I wish I hadn't trashed all my other ancient computers.... but this is junk, right?

Remember when twitter reset the @potus@infosec.exchange account followers when Biden took over? Bet Elno doesn't do that in Jan when Donald takes over.

Looking at all the "Cyber Monday" deals and realising that the word "cyber" has lost its meaning.
It's basically a Long Black Friday Weekend now.

Does Trump even realise that Elno tricked him into naming the "Department of Government Efficiency" ?

And how is it "efficient" to need TWO bosses?

Surely there are Emoluments rules to prevent Elno from benefitting himself or his companies? Right? Right?

Microsoft's Florence-2 is pretty amazing at image analysis.... but not sure it knows left from right...

The birds are in full song tonight.
