TIL: “security by antiquity” from https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20260821-why-older-tech-is-sometimes-safer-from-hackersPresumably a reference to (or a subset of) "security through obscurity".Best rationalization for old-tech-hoarding I have seen in a long time.Probably worth a longer cybersecurity post or a few. Like how to source (obtain), repair, maintain, and integrate with (or isolate from!) modern systems, or somewhere in between like local-only secure data transfers between such systems, perhaps gapped a la sneakernet.Glossary:security through obscurity  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Security_through_obscuritysneakernet  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sneakernet#security #securityByAntiquity #oldTech #cyberSecurity #Blaugust #Blaugust2026

Edinburgh Summer Sessions

Among the older things I put on the web were fansites: Bebe Ads Ronny Vardy Fan Stew & The Negro Problem Lyrics These are run with WordPress. I did some maintenance on them today.
