The HN title and the original sub headline are inaccurate per the published correction at the end of the article.

CORRECTION: In a previous version of this article, we reported that that the UKHSA had refused to release data that could link the Covid vaccine to excess deaths, as it argued that “releasing the data would lead to the ‘distress or anger’ of bereaved relatives if a link was found.” This was inaccurate; the UKHSA did not argue that the data could lead to the distress or anger of bereaved relatives if a link were found. In fact, it argued that the data could lead to “the families of the deceased being subjected to unsolicited approaches by the media and anti-vaccine campaigners”. This correction has been published following a partly upheld complaint to the Independent press Standards Organisation.

Well, guess it's worth spending a little time looking at it.

It appears that it's the Cloudflare Security Center scanning service? This would also explain how my unpublished service was located as I use Cloudflare for my DNS.

I haven't done any investigation but some scraper and/or bot configuration uses OS X as its user agent.

I run an unpublished service used by 1s of people and was hit by an influx of supposed OS X user agents that didn't correspond to my actual user base.

This is a confusing comment because Debian/Ubuntu/etc (you referenced apt) have separate security repositories that exist for this purpose. They have only security fixes and don't try to unnecessarily fix "other" stuff. I have not heard of the security repos pushing out a breaking update before.

`unattended-upgrade` uses only a subset of repos (ie security) and does this for you. If you actually wanted to schedule reboots, it can do that too.

EV drivetrains can specifically cause interference on AM frequencies so EV manufacturers have been wanting to drop AM support.

I am personally now drawing a clear delineation between projects for my internal consumption (e.g. ansible scripts) and projects that have potential use for the general populace. For the prior, I now host a private Forgejo instance. For the latter, I'll put it on GitHub but mirror it to my Forgejo instance.

I was pleasantly shocked that Forgejo is literally a single binary with a relatively easy config. All my internal services reference my Forgejo instance so, if I need to bail on GitHub, it's low friction for me.

Which edition of Win 11? I've just disabled it in Win 10 and 11 via the GPO which may require some flavor of "Pro"

I grew up in the Chicago suburbs and there definitely was an Egghead in my town.

Going this route then eliminates the free/included Google Assistant integration that comes along with using the bridge and app, correct? I really would like to ditch the hub but also want to use voice activation on a few lights.

As a point of clarification: all Pixel phones starting with the 6 were guaranteed 5 years of firmware support. Some phones only had 3 years of OS upgrades (vs 5 years of security patches). Now everything is getting 5 years of OS upgrades.
