It's what we've always done (albeit not on the same scale). Run the two providers side by side for a year (or sometimes 2!).

Yep, and I can't see how we can find our way out of it :(

We've tried little experiments over the last 25 years with sticking a honeypot online with a basic-ish password and seeing how long it was before it was logged in to as the root user. It used to be several days, now it's several seconds.

Unfortunately the reality for many, is that without CF, their site would be offline, or they'd have to pay significantly more for infrastructure, to the point of their site/business not being viable due to all the "Bad Things" that infest the swamp that is the modern internet.

A company that publishes an 'article' such a thing as "the best alternatives" then puts their own company at the top of the list, merits no time.

I can't help feel you've somewhat missed the point. The internet itself yes, but we've moved towards a web that's focused on 5 or 6 megacorps that act as a single point of failure for much of it.

Having to pay a monthly/annual subscription for a decent SSH client was the final nail. If not had been nominal I might have, but £80/yr for something decent that could cope with bastion hosts etc. was just taking the pee.

I tried to use it as a laptop replacement because my MBP was out of OS updates (mid 2015). In the end I just put Ubuntu on my MBP as I just couldn't live with it.

Scrolling down my down my timeline I thought this was a chinchilla to start with, very similar features. Minus the big feet and bushy tail.

Even on main BBC site she wasn't until lots of people complained about it.

That said, most biscuits these days are terrible, so loaded with sugar as to be bordering on unpleasant.

Milk chocolate hobnobs are the king of biscuits, a close second is a good custard cream.

...and this is why the church has done it, because they know it will draw more attention to the cause. Sticking the same things on some run down church hall isn't going to cut it. Maybe there's a reason the only thing these people can think of is painting roundabouts.

Jeez. Locals here are empty by 10:30, if they even got more than a handful in the first place. Clearly not been out and seen what's happening in communities.

The UK govt. Could actually do IT projects, but then they sacked off Crown Digital, because the large usual suspect IT-mismanagement companies weren't getting projects any more that they could bid and the inflate the project cost on later.

Implement it Estonian style, where I own my ID then yes, but the UK implementation is going to be nothing like it, and that's going to be very problematic.

Glad it wasn't just me. Little Bay is just mmmmmm

Moved on to ECHR now, "should have gone ages ago". I wonder which of their human rights they don't want?
