Thanks! I'll pop into that post and join the discussion there.
ps: I love this tool! I've been telling everyone I know via other channels. Very useful OSINT addition
Thanks. Appreciate the response. I tried a few common things (quotes/etc), but, didn't seem to assist. I'm ok at reading the code, but, not being a 'dev', not so comfortable at suggesting improvements. Maybe a radio/check in the UI for an 'exact', and then switch out the 'match' in the query?
I guess this is the 'why' - it's using FTS and 'match'. Therefore, returning 'worth' for 'worthing' is _expected_.
Q: How do I get an exact search against the word(s) I search for? e.g. I search for 'worthing', but, I get matches for 'worth' Apologies in advance if this is answered somewhere. I've tried quotes (double/single), and searching the Discord. Found the Github. Guess I raise as an 'issue'?
Bellingcat has just launched a tool for searching through transcripts of local council meetings in the UK, which should help counter acts like these council-search.bellingcat.com
Evri straight up gaslighting me, that they've had my parcel at my local depot since Sunday, and still haven't attempted to deliver it even once.
Just as a reminder: A key marker for a society that is 'free' / has 'freedom of speech', is that a person can be critical of the regime, and *not* have their house raided.

You're right! Time to celebrate I'll get the kettle on
Not waiting a year this time Just completed updating it Managed to get it all working, after diving around in postgres (collation issue) Fresh new UI (wish I could hide the nav on the left) Lost no data Just updating feeds The struggle is real
Bring all the family for a Christmas in London. Problem solved!! Hope to see you at OWASP London then.
@shehackspurple.bsky.social I know you have this as 'tentative'. But, on the assumption it happens... and this is a bit of a stretch... will you still be around for BSides London the week after, on 13th Dec?
I'm ripping down just the corner (50cm x 50cm) of an old style lathe/plaster ceiling. However much mess you think this makes, it's exponentially more than that.
I can't believe that today the good people of Alaska are forced into accepting a proven criminal upon their shores. And also Putin.

I want to reach out
that hold me inside
I want to tear down these walls
I want to hide
I want to run

The article references Matthew's website, which dives deeper into what's happening here. mjg59.dreamwidth.org/73001.html
"We can run whatever we want on the Pi and then access Amiga hardware," he noted. "And, obviously, the thing we want to run is Doom, because that's what everyone runs in fucked-up hardware situations." Matthew Garrett, that last sentence 🤣
how could I forget "RAM pack wobble"! ** You're right. I think DR/BCP was instilled into me at an early age :-D ** I was really lucky with my ZX81 that the 16K pack my parents got me was super-light, and contoured to the ZX81 casing. Never experienced 'wobble'.
Raised a Catholic, the person on the right looks like a Catholic nun. Had to Google/translate the message, and that's just shocking, what they're trying to infer. I'm so sorry.
And we didn't just do it the once. The routine was: 10 Enter the code 20 Play the [bad Frogger clone] game 30 Save it to tape 40 Load it back from tape 50 Fails to load 60 GOTO 10
We will be opening our CFP at 1337hrs and posting the link. Some tips: Read the front page. You don't have to complete your submission in on go, you can edit it until it closes on 30th Sept. Give the CFP team a reason to pick your talk! You can do this. #BSidesLDN2025

I look forward to your RfP for a workshop, where you present how to make a quilting blanket from them all. Would attend. Though, my blanket would be more of a towel. Recommended Workshop title: "From SIEM to seams. Turning t-shirts to blankies"
If you browse to: learn.microsoft.com/en-us/intune... It references this setting as: [see image] Which is _actual_ help. Sheesh. Just a help popup that offered a breakout hyperlink to this, would suffice
Great job on the UI/UX lads. Keep it up.
No problem. See that little (i) for a lil' help popup? Let's hover over it to get that deeper insight into the settings
Hmmmm..... I wonder what this setting, for Windows Update 'ring' means?
ah. Then you probably aren't aware that it closed in 2020 for refurbishment, since then it's been pretty much covered up. The events are starting to appear on the schedule. And just recently, the barriers covering the front were all taken down.
If you're looking forward to the return of the Colosseum, in Watford, I have news for you!
Using the word 'demolish' instead of 'exterminate', is such a wasted opportunity

I see a massive rear 'wing', which presumably generated so much downforce at the rear, that the front (devoid of such balancing 'aero') lifted up, and the car wheelied up onto the pedestal.

Some people think that the World has gone H&S crazy. But, when you think back to Kings X '87, it was crazy that was permitted, and that such fires hadn't been more common.
And on the underground in London :-o Thousands of people, many feet underground, escalators made of wood, grease everywhere (on the escalators). And then the Kings Cross fire happened in '87 and 31 people died (may they RIP)
Make Daft Punk Great Again
That is Vogon levels of bureaucracy
Some dude with a metal detector already found it. And went, "Yay! A free SD card. Result." Then wiped it and put music+pictures on it.

I'd love to see them do something about all the flat glass UI/UX touchscreens in cars, and bring them back to being techie and yet tactile. I'm surprised there aren't more car accidents caused by people trying to find 'buttons' on their cars flatscreen panel.
Take one for the team. Head in and report back on the fresh hell you have saved us all from. We will light candles & brew a nice cup of tea on this day to remember you by.
Also implemented a "first week" chat channel per new starter, to resolve any snagging without needing tickets - as long as the requirement supports the BAU of the role. The channel gets archived after 1wk, tagged onto their onboarding ticket, and serves as a audit trail for the onboarding. K.I.S.S.
For on-prem we power the laptop up and do a courtesy 'fresh wipe' before handing it over. That way, the bloatware is gone and the laptop is 100% charged. If it's a 100% remote onboarding, with the laptop delivered direct from vendor, it's a little longer. But, not far off.
We (ITOps) were tasked to have a new starter up-n-running with their straight-from-the-box-laptop, able to access their calendar and join a Zoom meeting within 15mins of their start time. Using Intune, got that down to 10mins, in-office
I assumed that the latest update on Tesla made them pull to the Reich.
I ❤️ that you did this, and ❤️ that you are so for it. The bloodmobile used to come to my work place, and without fail, the majority of 1st/2nd/3rd line of I.T. Support would all go and donate. And sadly. I'm now excluded. "Best you save it, in case you need it more than we do", they said to me.
Sorry about this www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/05...
Dear $vendor I think there has been a manufacturing issue at the factory with this cat. Only, I opened the box and it doesn't look like I'm going to be able to assemble it correctly. Please advise.

Threat doesn't come into your country on an inflatable raft, wanting to to be a citizen & work. It enters via populism and flights on private planes.
This new reboot of 'Friends' sounds like it's really going to suck. Could it beeeeeeee any more dystopian AI?
Got the new catellite dish up on the wall. Some fine-tuning to do, as currently the only signal received is "ackackackackack"
My skin/DNA is so Irish, that when I open the fridge, I can't stand there too long in case them lights burn me
I've said it before, and I'll say it again: Cats are highly skilled red-teamers, that can bypass and evade any control, whilst leaving a dead mouse on your pillow to let you know they achieved their objective.
Awww!!! One of our kittens is sporting an extra-small "cone of shame" since lunchtime, due to an open wound on her neck, that just needs a few days to heal up. Somehow, she managed to get through the catflap and into the garden. All the maths/physics says this isn't possible.
Grrrrr!! That release must have gone out just after all my work to get it ready for our use within our AKS cluster. If I'd waited a week for this release, I could probably have saved a week of effort!
@securestep9.bsky.social great catching up with you last night. Remember my gripe about Dependency Track using flaky H2 db & if it's not for prod why force it out-of-box in first place? Doh! "Update quickstart Compose file to use Postgres instead of H2 - apiserver/#4576" github.com/DependencyTr...
You might not have a cat But, it looks like that cat has a 'you'
Damn. That kid rocks hard!
The London Defcon chapter - dc4420.org - is meeting tonight! We have two speakers! Be at The Greene Man, Euston at around 1900-1930 tonight! #infosec #networking #security #cyber #london #meetup #defcon
FREE CYBER GAMEZ 4 ALL!!
Hear me out for a moment. Has anyone tried shutting 'Murica down, and then selecting 'Last Known Good Configuration' as it boots?
I posted about this before - now the site is up! DC4420.org !! Be there - 1900, on the 29th. Greene Man, Euston Road, NW1 3AU #cybersecurity #infosec #networking #conference
But, dear Nigel. We keep them out. And doesn't 'out' mean 'out'? And, why do you hate British chickens and chicken farmers so much, that you would happily erode their livelihood? Why would you do that, Nigel? Why?
Preach! So true. I still love it, though
I remember the first time I saw the film 'Idiocracy'. It was funny. Kinda felt like it might happen, but, how the hell could that crazy future for 'Murica come about?! F-Forward to today, and I've never been more certain that 'Idiocracy' is a factual documentary, sent back in time to warn.
Go make yourself a drink, and take 10mins out of your day to read this, and the replies.
Wow. Reached out to Discord Support on birdPlatform to let them know key FQDNs in their emails don't resolve to valid public IPs. And they want more info from me on what this means, with screenshots/videos. We're doomed.
Reporter: Who's the first buyer? Trump: Me You know that: a) He hasn't bought one. b) He's only said that as a narcissistic reaction to realising that he had to be first, because first is best. He has all the best firsts. All the seconds agree that he is the best first.
How it started:
I usually frequent the local micro taproom at the weekend. But, I saw the they had a Vocation takeover, and Naughty & Nice on cask (amongst others) so was rude if I didn't. Top notch beers. Managed 2x of Naughty & Nice, 1x Heart & Soul and 1x NZ Extra Pale 10/10 would recommend Vocation beers
