We shouldn't be seduced by the (comparative) ease with which Y2K passed.
Are you Y2k38 ready?

This is a true story and relates to a post about ex Armed Forces and housing.
Some of us have also served in the armed forces.
I am one of 125 MoD caretakers across the UK and NI.
We work at Army Reserve and UOTC centres.
All of us have to live in tied accommodation that comes as part of our employment.
The 125 of us will be made redundant on the 31st of March 2027.
This is not a personal choice; we are part of the MoD's 10% cost-saving cuts. We are the lowest paid in the MoD; we earn less per annum than a 17-and-a-half-year-old in basic training in the Army. Some of us have served for decades. Yet we are committed and steadfast in maintaining the operational security and effectiveness of the Reserves Centres that we work at and in some cases manage.
When we are made redundant, our tied accommodation must be emptied and ready to hand over by the 31st of March. We and our families are not entitled to be rehomed. Again, this is not our choice; this action is being forced on us after years and decades of dedicated service to the MoD, the Army, and the our Country. This is a life-changing event for us all.
There is a lack of information, and as each week counts down to March, the stress on us all and our families increases. Yet, here in the UK, we have not only non-taxpayers but also people who are in our country illegally being given new priority housing.
Nobody is interested in our story or wants to help, and the media, with ethe exception of (The Scotsman) either do not want to report on or publish our story, or the information they are relating to is incorrect.
This is a true story and relates to UK tax paying nationals. Some of us have also served in the armed forces, and at least one of us is currently on Operational Tour, and will not be back in the UK by March 31st.

🚨 THE GOVERNMENT NOW HAS TO ANSWER US.
In less than 72 hours, over 15,000 people have signed my petition demanding a simple rule:
If they can’t pass an audit, they can’t raise our taxes.
Up to £81 BILLION is lost to fraud and error EVERY YEAR, while public bodies repeatedly fail audits.
Rather than fix it, our politicians simply come back to taxpayers for more and our media doesn’t talk about it.
So we will.
At 100,000 signatures, this petition can be considered for debate in Parliament.
We’ve passed 15,000 in three days.
Let’s take this all the way to 100,000 and make Parliament confront it.
Sign. Share. Keep pushing. 👇

989,910 & counting, just short of 10,090 signatures.
We’re edging closer to ONE MILLION signatures, but we still need your help.
If you haven’t signed the petition yet, please do. Already signed? Please share.
Tonight let’s reach one million together 👇bit.ly/3UpBvB4

During a police chase in the UK a passing van driver stopped to help and told a pursuing armed officer to get in the back of his van.
That was quite exhilarating. What a story for his mates down the pub.
Meanwhile his wife is waiting at home upset and he’s trying to explain like “I swear…i had to let a cop in my van and we had to chase down a runner.”

Today AWS servers went down and so did the government One Login digital ID system
Millions of people were suddenly locked out of vital services just because all authentication now runs through one central system hosted on a single commercial cloud.
Could there be a clearer warning
This is not a theoretical risk.
This is what happens when all access to government services depends on a single provider and a single platform.
One outage and the whole country grinds to a halt
If AWS can crash and take out government logins nationwide.
What happens during a cyberattack?
What happens in a crisis?
What happens when there is just a technical glitch?
We are being told to put our trust our business our legal status and our most sensitive personal information into one digital basket
Today proves just how fragile and risky that model is.
Digital ID is not about convenience or security.
It is about centralising risk and making everyone more vulnerable to outages attacks and bureaucratic mistakes.
It only takes one outage to lock the country out.
#NoToDigitalID
Thoughtful and calm comments on the proposal. Well worth a read.

If you aren't worried about Labour introducing Digital ID, imagine that power in the hands of your worst nightmare government...
Now are you worried?
