Note to self: don't try to update lambda function on the train while en route to #cloud conference to talk about said lambda function. (Standby while pip updates very slowly on some-G based WiFi) libpython3.6-dev: 40%...41%............42% Connection timed out 41%......42%....

We're urging all colleges and universities to fix an easily-exploited flaw in widely used computer code that presents a severe risk of cyber attack https://t.co/ND7SUvvu0u

One thing about this that I find really frustrating is that when we (at the time the @uk_nes) engaged with health care providers years ago, they flat refused to work with us because patient data was too precious. 10-15 years later they are falling into holes we clocked the time.

Hi @MFTnhs, I received an SMS from an unknown number purporting to be "From Manchester University Foundation Trust". It may be a phishing attack. But there are hints it might be genuine. A thread. #Phishing #SMishing 1/20

[Research IT at the University of Manchester @UoM_eResearch]

Do you use @overleaf? Would you like to use Overleaf? Are you a new PhD student who would like to use Overleaf to write a literature review? Come along to the UoM online webinar on the 25th Feb! @fsegrads @FSEResearcher @FBMHpg @HumsResearchers @PhDSoSS https://t.co/9DoV6HZckc

[Mike Jones @dr_mike_jones]

I published it. https://t.co/nWagKXk7DZ that is the x509 generation from AWS KMS bit. The SOQL and Kitchen bits are a bit application specific; I might write a blog-post walk-through at some point; maybe that might be useful, who knows!

[Mike Jones @dr_mike_jones]

Today I has mostly been eating AWS KMS to make x.509 certs by hand and now in code. Tomorrow I shall be mostly eating AWS KMS & JWT Oauth2 bearer tokens to do SOQL queries against Salesforce in Lambda via an AWS API gateway. After that I'll be tidying the Kitchen. #StillGotIt
