Take a look at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JCnpxmhWRuw - pretty high level but does show the deliveries in action.

Maybe but it's from 2021.

Personally I'd prefer something like "Returned top N of 166,000 results" and easy access to those N results (first/best match, last/worst match, paginate left/right)

Another Irish resident confirming that this statement is not true.

Most schools teach in English and teach Irish as a second language. Irish is rarely used in normal day to day interactions and never at work unless you work in an Irish language related area or government department that supports Irish as an official language.

There are some niche exceptions:

- "All Irish" schools where you optionally learn through Irish

- "Gaeltachts" which are pockets of Ireland where Irish is promoted and spoken. Even here the locals will happily switch to English if you prefer.

I like Irish and wish it was more widely spoken as an everyday language but in reality you have to make an explicit effort to experience it.

The "worlds most famous" claim is from the website and not the poster

Thanks, looks promising.

One of my challanges was understanding the the zoo of tests OpenVAS would run and trying to reliably select which ones to apply. Did you, or anyone here, ever spot a way of outputting all the tests (nmap scripts etc.) that a particular run would trigger (but without actually running them)

Are you in a position to share that session online or perhaps a blog post on your experience and approach ?

I've looked at it (openvas), got something working, but was never happy with it and ended up returning to a simpler/proven nmap base that I could manage better and add complexity if/when needed.

The Irish (PSC) Public Services Card is getting close to being a de facto ID card at this point.

Maybe you're referring to Certificate Transparency Logs ? There's background info at http://www.certificate-transparency.org/what-is-ct

You could implement your own log monitor or use services like crt.sh or certstream to build a candidate list of domains that have registered SSL certs.

They have an intro to the myStorm board at https://folknologylabs.wordpress.com/2016/07/21/a-perfect-st...:

"myStorm is the perfect combination of a $5 Raspberry Pi Zero, a $1, 32-bit ARM microcontroller and a $5 versatile low power FPGA – an open hardware platform – brought to life with innovative open source software."
