Opinions are not my own. You can't, like, own opinions, man

Woke up to this dude chilling in my backyard this morning, first time I've seen one outside of captivity. One of the perks of literally living in paradise I guess 😂

This Eastern Yellow Robin has been hanging around a lot lately, always trying to get on camera, so about time I give him some screen time

This Scarlet Honeyeater made me audibly go "wow" when he flew into the shot, such incredibly bright plumage #birding #birdphotography

After a lifetime of hearing them all around me but never once spotting one, I've finally caught an Eastern Whipbird on camera, and I couldn't be happier with this hazy obscured mess of a photo #birding #birdphotography

Satin Bowerbird found the perfect little spot to shelter from the rain

Flock of the stunning Glossy Black-Cockatoos here today, an incredible sight when they spread those bright tail feathers

@massaboosetts You don't have to set an intention to have fun with it. Before it became "Tik Tok famous" a lot of people just used it to throw off the reality loop. All that matters is you're going somewhere you never would've gone without the randomness, the intention just aids synchronicity

Little Pied Cormorant chilling on my jetty 😍 He did not like me disturbing his afternoon snooze

@seelie_wight Even the name is a massive hit of nostalgia straight into the blood stream

Now that SDRTrunk supports @Broadcastify's new shiny calls feature I've been able to set up a feed for the local GRN tower: https://t.co/4qYPkgnMnj

Should be very useful for journos to be able to walk back through an incident. Look forward to seeing more comms geeks contributing

Strongly recommend donating to them via @ISID_org if you have the opportunity, they do amazing work:

I'm not a medical guy but signed up for @ProMED_mail a few years back. Having a rapid source of accurate clinical information in the early days of #COVID19 was incredibly helpful when coupled with the ground reports from people like @DrEricDing

@benjamingrundy Watching question time rn, apparently large traffic triggered DDoS alarms in their monitoring systems.

"The DDoS alarms show no evidence of a specific attack occurring today" despite experiencing several smaller attacks in the past couple of weeks.

[Dave McKenzie @davidmcomau]

@benjamingrundy Haven't seen that yet, will have a squiz. Though have seen a lot of cases where people in charge are quick to jump to conclusions - techs see big traffic spike and alert mgmt, mgmt tells execs and add their own speculative spin, etc. Always fun.

[Dave McKenzie @davidmcomau]

@benjamingrundy Honestly doubt it was an attack. Clearly they're under heavy organic load, and a well designed attack may look indistinguishable from heavy organic load. It just doesn't make any sense to DoS the site.

[Dave McKenzie @davidmcomau]

@BobbyKennedy_HC Dunning-Kruger nailed it

[Dave McKenzie @davidmcomau]

@Asher_Wolf Listening to ambos on scanner, about every third case is COVID like symptoms up in the Hunter/Newcastle area

[Dave McKenzie @davidmcomau]

@gth_ @benjamingrundy More like venison

@annaspargoryan @Asher_Wolf That's just how you get access to the secret stash of toilet paper they keep in the back
