@troyhunt It amazes me that you've done so much work on exposing data brokers - and now you're all 'this is fine' with these 'age verification' sites linking personal data to very sensitive information.

Credit cards/bank accounts are concretely tied to a government identity.

Hope @WiganCouncil are planning to remove the flags that are appearing on lampposts. It's nothing more than territorial pissing, designed to make minority groups feel intimidated and unwelcome

@AzureDevOps Any known issues currently with #AzureDevOps pipelines? We're seeing issues where a pipeline will occasionally not trigger? Not sure how to diagnose the issue but it seems to be happening more frequently the last week or two.

[Paul G @wizcat]

@Vic_Gill Your recent BBC news article "Why scientists are counting tiny marine creatures from Space" leaves so much out. Where in space have they come from for example? Unless a more accurate headline is 'Why tiny marine creatures are being counted from space by scientists'? 😂

[Paul G @wizcat]

@AzureDevOps Thanks all. Looks like it's being tracked here : https://t.co/tvATXOqCi9

Anyone else having issues with @AzureDevOps @azcli tasks failing this morning? 'ERROR: AADSTS50166: Request to External OIDC endpoint failed' @AzureDevOps

@proxynova It probably seems I'm being pedantic, but I have senior colleagues using this tool and suggesting (eg) a six digit number 'is fine' so long as it changes within a time period shown by your tool.

[Paul G @wizcat]

@proxynova I know you have all sort of 'rough estimate' words on this tool, but it should make it clearer this is a time to iterate through every possible combination, or a MAXIMUM time to brute force. In reality 50% through iterating you've got a 50% chance of success etc

@troyhunt @haveibeenpwned Smells like a file encoding issue. \r\n vs \n (Windows vs Linux)

[Paul G @wizcat]

@RishiSunak Embarrassing that you'd try to 'both sides' this. A handful of the 300,000 versus over 100 of the yobs that @SuellaBraverman and yourself summoned. Resign and do the country a favour.

[Paul G @wizcat]

@SuellaBraverman I'd never have imagined a day where the British Home Sec incites violence. Through your rhetoric of 'hateful protestors' at the Cenotaph, despite none of that being true, you've now got the Met worried about thugs turning up to 'protect the Cenotaph'.

[Paul G @wizcat]

@SuellaBraverman "decent British people have had enough of these displays of thuggish intimidation and extremism". Hear hear. Let's hope the PM does the right thing and finds a new Home Secretary. Your thuggish intimidation of the vast majority of peaceful protestors is quite the thing.

[Paul G @wizcat]

@OliverDowden thinks the 'hate marches' should be cancelled because of the tiny percentage of hateful protestors amongst tens of thousands. But happy to defend the Tory party with it's much higher percentage of sexual predators. 🤡 #bbclaurak

[Paul G @wizcat]

@RishiSunak This was the day Rishi got confused about the difference between Armistice Day and Remembrance Sunday. What a great patriot he is.

You might want to seriously consider removing Moq from your projects.

@troyhunt can now add pretty much the entire adult UK population to haveibeenpowned 🙈 https://t.co/rCGt96A3b7

@troyhunt It's clearly two swimmers, swimming in opposite directions. (Or sliding switches)

[Paul G @wizcat]

Anyone else having intermittent issues using #AzureDevops #ArtifactFeed Occasionally bumping into CircuitBreakerExceededConcurrencyException errors just trying to get the feed index.

[Paul G @wizcat]

@AzureDevOps @Nick_Romanek Is there any update yet? Nearly four hours ago this was classed as 'degraded', but we've seen nothing but 503 Service Unavailable errors during this time.

[Paul G @wizcat]

@AVFCParking @AzureSupport We're also seeing issues across our sites reaching ADB2C
