  1. It’s so funny seeing Malory Towers on BBC especially when they’re true to the books. The added bits often seem American and unnecessary, but I guess they’ve got reasons (idk what sometimes, it’s a bit weird). Mary-Lou is precious, as she should be, and Darrell’s father’s adorable. Just about has bushy enough eyebrows. Sadly I think there won’t be Zerelda in season three to call them beetlin’, I loved her.

    Richard Wilson (1714–1782) was a prominent Welsh landscape painter, often considered one of the leading figures in British art during the 18th century. He was known for his ability to convey the beauty of natural scenery and the interplay of light and shadow.

    Throughout his career, Wilson traveled extensively throughout Europe, studying various artistic styles and techniques. He spent a significant period in Italy, which greatly influenced his work. Upon returning to Britain, he became known for his picturesque views and inspired many later Romantic artists.

  10. Just accept that there is no more DNS query data. — Geoff Huston #IGF2022

  11. At the #IGF2022 dynamic coalition on data and trust I made the points that DNS lookup data doesn’t belong to anyone— it’s a database service for user agents and securing those queries is improving engineering and non-controversial. And I presented this paper I co-wrote on the tensions created by the transition to private DNS for public interest advocates: github.com/mallory/DNS-Privacy
