This is a great write up and elegant solution for a static Pages repo by @mttaggart
We know we need two repositories. Instead of relying of YAML-driven DevOps stuff, why not use something a bit more elemental: Git submodules.
If we make our site repo a submodule of the source module, we can make our lives much, much easier.

How much of your code do you feel like entrusting to Microsoft? How about American data centers? Here's an easy way to jump ship and maintain operations.taggart-tech.com

Trump is. None of the people with the power to stop him did. Not the FBI, not the DoJ, not the Biden administration, not the military and not the courts. Not one oath-taker sees fit to act. Good luck. Maybe you'll cause the dictator to spend an afternoon in court, sleeping, sneering, and passing gas.
And Musk most certainly is. "Our" court system just gave a Nazi a $500 million building. God damn this political system to hell.
People are going to have to take the law into their own hands if the law continues to sit on its.
"Robert F. Kennedy Jr. assured the Senate that he would not interfere in the public’s right to secure vaccines. He lied. He has taken several steps to end public-private partnerships in the vaccine development area. He promised no major changes at HHS and FDA. He lied."

We know that going to space decreases bone and muscle mass, but now researchers have discovered exactly which bones suffer the most damage. They sent a group of mice to space for 37 days and then examined their bones. The researchers found that there were bone degenerative effects in the femur, but not in the vertebrae, and concluded that it's our weight-bearing bones that suffer the most damage during weightlessness.
journals.plos.org/plosone/arti…
37-Day microgravity exposure in 16-Week female C57BL/6J mice is associated with bone loss specific to weight-bearing skeletal sites
Exposure to weightlessness in microgravity and elevated space radiation are associated with rapid bone loss in mammals, but questions remain about their mechanisms of action and relative importance.journals.plos.org
The bigger the bone, the more likely to be hit by a Cosmic Ray. Best to not stay in space more than 6 months. This is on top of the lack of gravity.
You are designed to live on Terra Firma where there is a magnetic field that deflects Cosmic Rays.

Pretty cool, my opinion piece on offensive cyber operations got picked up by TechRadar.

American cyber brass calls for retaliatory strikes against China, but is the US really ready?
Marcus Hutchins thinks not, and I agreeBenedict Collins (TechRadar pro)
While at Dragos DISC, there was a guy who didn't want to name drop - then proceeded to B52 names... Talking about how they need to go offensive - and - I was in disbelief of all the conferences to spout off about that. ICS security is all defense all day. Other opinions included how they need to regulate cyberdefenses for health care.
Cut to Rob Lee's Keynote - "We need to step up because if regulations force us - I guarantee they will be stupid and ineffective" (paraphrased)
