I really enjoyed speaking with @reconditerose.bsky.social about @valkeyio.bsky.social project’s 9.0 release. She made complex systems feel clear and grounded - even explaining hash-field expiration with a gaming analogy about players in a lobby and how data expires over time. So cool. bit.ly/47lvAjB

Valkey 9.0 – open-source velocity and the pursuit of real-time resilience

The latest Valkey release refines how distributed systems scale and recover, introducing fine-grained expiration, atomic slot migration, and a roadmap toward true data durability.

Am enduringly fascinated by the way digital distribution channels still blur this indie boundary, and what it means for epistemic confidence, democracy, regulation etc - back in the day this was all called "user-generated content" and interesting to see the traditional market has still not caught up

The British Podcast Awards featured a strange “glitch” that everyone found amusing; but has interesting implications. Most of the winners were upstairs in the cheap balcony seats, meaning there was a few minutes’ delay on almost EVERY award as the winners went down the back stairs to the stage. >>

On of my fave podcasts in our series to date... @alyx.diginomica.com brought out the tech founder side of Daniel Dines... hearing a seasoned RPA practitioner talk about what's real or not with agentic AI and how these technologies work together, or not.... a good listen for sure.

On Sunday, the UK government will send an emergency alert test to every mobile and tablet that's 4G and 5G compatible. The test will set off a loud siren-like alert for roughly 10 seconds, even if your device is on silent or do not disturb.

To make sure your device stays silent, follow this guide ⬇️

Galop @galopuk.bsky.social · Aug 31

If you have a secret or hidden phone, the government's Emergency Alerts could reveal your device, even if it's on silent or do not disturb.

The government is testing emergency alerts on Sunday 7 September. If you're worried this could reveal a phone, you can follow this guide to turn off the alerts

How to keep your phone safe from Emergency Alerts.

Steps to secure your iPhone
1. Search your settings for 'emergency alerts'
2. Turn off 'Severe alerts' and 'Emergency alerts'
3. If this does not work, contact your device manufacturer.

Steps to secure your Android:
1. Search your settings 'emergency alerts'
2. Turn off 'Severe alerts' and 'Emergency alerts'
3. On Huawei devices running EMUI 11 or older, search your settings for ‘emergency alerts’ and turn off 'Extreme threats', 'Severe threats', and 'Show amber alerts'
4. If this does not work, contact your device manufacturer.

Other mobile phones and tablets:
Depending on your software version or phone manufacturer, emergency alert settings may be called different names. They could be called 'wireless emergency alerts' or 'emergency broadcasts'.

You can usually find these settings in one of the following ways.
- Go to 'message', then 'message settings', then 'wireless emergency alerts', then 'alert'
- Go to ‘settings’, then ‘sounds’, then ‘advanced’, then ‘emergency broadcasts’
- Go to ‘settings’, then ‘general settings’, then ‘emergency alerts’
Then turn off ‘severe alerts’, ‘extreme alerts’ and ‘test alerts’.

Apparently Guillermo Del Toro has ruined Frankenstein by… being relatively faithful to the source material.

It was so cool to talk with CRob at the #OSSummit @linuxfoundationeu.bsky.social @openssf.org about why accountability cannot be outsourced. Enterprises can't treat open source maintainers as unpaid contractors, or rely on AI vendors that "drive around the fence" to avoid security frameworks.
