CISA's initial email announcement reducing public-facing security products preserved RSS feeds. But the website language has been updated to drop RSS as a remaining source.

The stated reasoning ("CISA wants this critical information to get the attention it deserves and ensure it is easier to find") is ... specious at best.

Even if we stipulate that keeping the general website less noisy is a net win, they could just ... provide a different web page? And it would be trivial to also create a separate RSS feed just for the vulnerability announcements. The automation is clearly already there and would be relatively easy to modify.

The actual reasoning is different from the stated reasoning, and is left as an exercise for the reader.

@jon all the best with the presentation!

The #moon is looking very pretty this evening! A snap between houses in #Edinburgh

Goodbye #Duolingo!

I finished the course a few months ago and the daily lessons since then were really repetitive. The adverts since my subscription expired are too long. The recent move to AI instead of humans doesn’t feel like it’ll make things any better!

It's 6:00, do you know where your chairs are? That's right, it's time for everyone's favorite Mastodon game show...

In which I show you a series of images, and you vote on whether or not it is a chair.

The rules are simple. Let's play!

My afternoon at #Longniddry Bents near #Edinburgh

I should have brought some cold beers and someone to drive me home.

My son comes downstairs with all his medieval garb on and asks if I can take a photo of him with a bow/arrow, for a physics assignment: take a photo of something with kinetic and potential energy, extra points for an action shot. 10 mins later we're high-fiving our nerd success.
