"Peace talks stall" FFS, which peace talks? Since more than a year, Ukraine has to pretend that there are peace talks happening, to keep the US at least on site as an arms producer. Meanwhile the EU is incapable of securing funding for Ukraine or of maintaining an EU perspective for Ukraine.

And if you can socially engineer someone to do MFA you will also be able to make them tell you their password.

It's debatable, but my understanding is that forced password changes have been proven to be bad. I'm afraid the password that your victim will choose will (I) likely not be very secure and (ii) likely written all over their workplace not to forget.

Fetching defeat from the jaws of victory has always been a special skill of UK academia! (But we don't change our passwords anymore - probably something to do with the Scottish enlightenment πŸ˜„)

So it seems that they are funding research only to make sure to ignore the results!

Forcing people to change their passwords is officially a bad idea A US standards agency has issued new guidance saying organisations shouldn’t require users to change their passwords periodically – advice that is backed up by decades of research

This is an entirely outdated, bad practice. Ask your employer to search for "multi factor authentication" 🀯

It's beyond ridiculous - my only rational explanation/hope(?) is that ScotRail has some kind of sponsorship deal with X but that would nevertheless be unacceptable.

Throw back to 2022 when @caitoz.bsky.social informed us that you were in a self-reinforcing echo chamber if you thought Ukraine had any chance of stopping Putin from taking Kyiv.

After first saying we would not invade, she later said we made no attempt to do what she said was certain to happen.

Der Kreml hat zum Frauentag zwei Versionen von Putins Ansprache gesendet. In der Mitte [s.u.] hustet er und sagt, er wolle es noch einmal aufnehmen. Jetzt spekulieren nicht nur die Z-Blogger ΓΌber SchwΓ€che und Kontrollverlust, die dadurch ausgestellt werden sollten.

I must confess that I always secretly thought that stories about Tony Blair's evilness were somewhat exaggerated, but the last few months clearly have proven me wrong. If anything, those stories were a wild understatement. #boardofpeace

Hungary seizes millions of euros in cash and gold from Ukrainian convoy Seven Ukrainians arrested and money-laundering investigation launched in latest spat between Kyiv and Budapest

www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m... Honestly speaking, I find articles like this bad journalism: it must be possible to research the question of how usual or unusual such a money shipment is. The article puts just theories out without commenting at all on the likelihood.

The russians committed another big massive combined attack against Ukraine last night.

Seven people were murdered in Kharkiv, including a primary school teacher and her 7yo son, and a 13yo girl with her mom. All of them were buried in the ruins of their home in their sleep. This is unforgivable.

Reports indicate russia used a new missile, β€œIzdeliye-30,” with a warhead of about 800 kg in the strike on Kharkiv.

One can almost imagine the thought process: "would that be enough to obliterate a five-story apartment building? Let’s find out."

Bastards.

That's insane.

Yesterday, Hungarians took hostages a convoy of Ukraine's state Oshchadbank that was transporting € & metals from Raiffeisen Bank to Ukraine.

The stolen cash and vehicles are reportedly held at the Anti-Terrorist Center of Hungary. The whereabouts of 7 employees remain unknown.

I guess it depends what cars we are talking about, which is still unclear to me. I don't think one should naturally expect the possibility of getting into a state-run money heist while travelling through the EU.

Somebody in the #EU has to put severe pressure on #Hungary because the situation is escalating quickly. This seems completely out of hand.
