People talking about Amazon being a single point of failure. DNS has historically been far more problematic

Amazon had DNS issues over the weekend.

I’m not saying the AWS failure is DNS but *altogether now* it’s always DNS

They store tax payer data in the UK under contractual obligation from way back in 2017. Like you say though, they'll use other services based elsewhere

HMRC having an outage due to an US based AWS data center doesn't indicate that sensitive data is in the US.
-Tax payer data is only held in the UK under strict contractual obligation.
-It is also held under strong encryption.
Let's leave the FUD alone

Ah, someone pointing out that HMRC may be using AWS's GovCloud, which is only available in the US. That does raise some questions about the transfer and processing of personal data, although one assumes AWS may be covered by the UK-US data bridge regulations in that regard.

These are the WhatsApp messages used in court in the conviction of Dutch hooligans hunting Jews on the streets of Amsterdam. It happened. Double down news is lying to you.

chris_grey___ @christophergrey.bsky.social · 1d

It's incredible that this is still being ignored even after the WhatsApp messages were published in court. I spent yesterday posting similar

chris_grey___ @christophergrey.bsky.social · 1d

Completely ignores that there were WhatsApp groups sharing the location of Jews so they could be attacked. What a surprise

I would like to put a coronation chicken sandwich in front of Jessica to see if it would make her explode

The British Right are just in total freefall into savagery at this point

I've never had curry or a kabab and don't intend to.
British food is the best. English breakfasts, Sunday roasts, fish and chips, pies, pasties, scones.
Also, our national dish isn't a chicken tikka masala we only think that because a Labour MP said it decades ago to push multiculturalism.

Yeah that's been a bit of a defining feature. The last book my jaw hit the deck. And not for the first time when it has come to characters being killed

He creates really fantastic characters which really helps. Lamb is an all timer. Looking forward to the dramatisation of the Oxford books too. And really hoping they'll do the Lamb Molly Doran story too. And the one with Bad Sam.

Lots of fun. Purchased the last one on release day. Been a long time since I've done that with a book.

The filming schedule so far looks to have been really tight, so that wouldn't suprise me

chris_grey___ @christophergrey.bsky.social · 1d

Hopefully more episodes. I'm not beholden to shows being faithful either but I hate it when they feel cut just to meet run times and episode numbers. The last Strike series which I enjoy both the books and series fell foul of that.

chris_grey___ @christophergrey.bsky.social · 1d

In this series they're gonna do that? Yuk. I'm sure the episodes in this series are shorter too.
It's probably is the weakest book for the reasons you've said.

chris_grey___ @christophergrey.bsky.social · 1d

Not the point but it was considered the national dish largely because it was the most popular dish in Britain.

chris_grey___ @christophergrey.bsky.social · 1d

Was gonna mention Heysel. English Liverpool supporting hooligans contributing to 39 deaths is hardly good-natured fun

A pox on both their houses. Sultana is a revolting antisemite. And him a revolting islamaphobe. Both carry on unimpeeded

The second one of them starts thinking that their expertise in one area means they’re an expert in anything else, take all their cash off them and only let them earn enough to cover their food and housing

Amazed to find out that even stripped of his royal title, Noncing Andrew will still be a prince

No, the Church did too.
