We should legislate identity portability for email addresses.
We have it for phone numbers, where the technical challenge was much greater. We should have it for email, too.

Rant of the day: Everybody, can we please remember that 'gifted' is an adjective, not a verb?
A person is gifted. A present is given.
Thank you.

Random observations of the day: Greenland has about 1/1000 of the population of the UK. The per-capita GDP of the two countries is almost identical.
I expect Putin would like to buy back Alaska too.

open.substack.com/pub/rorycell... Our health service is becoming increasingly dependent on US technology - but can we trust it?
Distressed to see even the Economist using 'inflection point' incorrectly today. Here's a reminder in case you're not quite sure what an inflection point actually *is*.

Hey, @opensource.google - does this give you any inspiration?
Yes, I have some stuff on Hetzner already, and am planning to move more of my services from AWS and DigitalOcean, quite probably to there.
I know it's Twixmas but I'm frustrated to see this case study from 2023 being regurgitated without any evidence of actual impact. We should expect better.

How does Moscow view Donald Trump at the end of 2025? One Russian paper today: “The US leader’s philosophy is closer to the values of Russia’s president, not the politicians of the Old World…he sees Europe as a liberal stronghold to be destroyed…” #ReadingRussia youtu.be/7EwZNk6KgHU

We watched Goldfinger last night for the first time in a while. Rather enjoyable. And the opening music also gives you some useful hints on what to do if someone tempts you to enter their web of sin. I’ve probably been getting that wrong in the past.
A groundbreaking £5 million trial, announced on Sunday will see home HIV testing kits ordered at the touch of a button through the NHS App. The trial will allow at-risk patients to order home HIV tests seamlessly, receive results securely, and contact their GP or sexual health clinics - all from their phone. The new digital service will offer a discreet route for those anxious about their sexual health to get tested without visiting a clinic.
You'll soon be able to order an HIV testing kit from the NHS app.

Should hopefully help end HIV transmissions in England by 2030.
...and still have the individual mirror sections available as local drives. So you'd be using ZFS on a central server to rebuild the mirror on any machines that had been offline, when they came back online...
