I photograph things that aren't there, and some that are.

@TomHuddleston_ Hey Tom, Could you let Time Out know that the photo accompanying #16 in the list of top 100 British Films is from Black Sunday with Barbara Steele, not Black Narcissus with Deborah Kerr. Sigh.

@GreatDismal Here in @GreatDismal ’s future we are about to see the creation of the Turing Police, as AI restrictions are eventually coded into law. Overall, kinda wish Great D. was a bit more utopian than dyspepsian, but I suppose that makes for weaker plots.

@AzureSupport Sigh. You have a botnet member at 20.127.146.117 password guessing at 14:13:00 EDT April 29. If this indeed your IP address (I have it matching 20.64.0.0/10) you should make it stop. Please inform the appropriate parties. Thank you.

@kenshirriff It depends on what you mean by architecture. The 8086/8088 instruction set sucked, while the 6809 was an elegant little stack machine. The 32-bit iAPX 432 had its moments, but the architecture was effectively unimplementable in 1981, unlike Motorola’s 16/32 bit 68000.

@LapTop006 @_vkaku @aka_pugs And it's between the NIC and the transceiver, rather than after the transceiver as is modern practice. Also, slide latch retained connectors are a very very bad idea.

@nchlgpt
SIR10226906, SIR10254903, SIR10333619 have been used to report Azure botnet membership - https://t.co/9dbO3Xwmlx auto-closed them all within seconds. SIR10282128 was opened by
@AzureSupport
- if it's still open (how would I know?), it ain't working.

@nchlgpt I have been reporting botnet membership by Azure host 20.52.136.207 since June 16. This weekend it was joined by 20.55.11.81 and 20.124.134.167, trying to guess my mail server passwords. https://t.co/9dbO3XwUb5 is utterly unresponsive, @AzureSupport is ineffective. Help!

@InsectNews Wasp id? Lexington, Massachusetts - about 15mm long, arrive at the butterfly bushes in a group of maybe a dozen, harass the local pollinators (and each other), make a quick pass over the vegetation, then leave. Happy to assume a threat posture if the lens is near.

@AzureSupport Azure Support mostly responds, then ends up saying only https://t.co/9dbO3Xwmlx can help. That's the gaslighting part. Then https://t.co/9dbO3Xwmlx auto-closes and ignores the SIRs. That's the ghosting part.

[Don Craig @tripleflash]

@AzureSupport Total of 130 password guessing attempts on my server from Azure cloud and botnet member 20.52.136.207 since May 22. Latest at 8:15:18 EDT this morning. Reported multiple times at https://t.co/9dbO3Xwmlx and here, the attacks continue.

[Don Craig @tripleflash]

@AzureSupport Some old and ignored after immediately insta-closing SIRs: SIR10435132, SIR10373733, SIR10333619, SIR10254903.

[Don Craig @tripleflash]

@AzureSupport I submit these reports here and at https://t.co/9dbO3Xwmlx. The response has been a combination of gaslighting and ghosting. https://t.co/9dbO3Xwmlx is particularly offensive since they auto-close reports within seconds and never do anything.

[Don Craig @tripleflash]

@AzureSupport Latest failed penetration attempt from Azure cloud and botnet member 20.52.136.207 at Jul 20 10:42:06 EDT. The attack continues.

@neilhimself Free info at: https://t.co/ijvAhtSNgi
Much more at: https://t.co/WszExinjz0 but it'll cost you fifty bucks.

@AlanStern @OceanGateExped That would be RMS Titanic, for Royal Mail Ship. HMS is more of a James Bond thing: On “Her Majesty’s Service”.

@MargueriteTurl2 Red-tailed hawks eat smaller raptors. We had a Cooper’s Hawk eaten (breast meat only) by a red-tail. The Kestrels were within their rights.

@neilhimself People keep re-writing @GreatDismal for some reason. It’s “The sky above the port was the color of television, tuned to a dead channel.“ There is no indefinite article before television.

@AzureSupport The password guessing break-in attempts on my server from botnet and Azure cloud member 20.52.136.207 have been ongoing since May 22. https://t.co/9dbO3Xwmlx has auto-closed SIR10226906, SIR10254903, SIR10333619, SIR10373733, and SIR10435132. The attacks continue.

[Don Craig @tripleflash]

@AzureSupport Hi. 26 hours later. Still no response, and both 20.52.136.207 and 20.127.232.73 are merrily trying to break into my server every few hours. '207 at 6:43 and 7:07 today, and '73 at 7:07 and 11:50 today. You clearly don't care that you are running a malware service.

[Don Craig @tripleflash]

@AzureSupport Trying to report botnet password guessing participation by 20.127.232.73, 20.120.87.208, and 20.52.136.207 but all I get back is an email assuring me that AI is taking care of it. Well it's not.

[Don Craig @tripleflash]

@AzureSupport Well the "best workflow" doesn't work. This malware attack has been active since May 20, and Microsoft has done nothing, despite multiple reports.
