We actually ran something similar in the UK a couple of years ago but had to shut it down due high costs.

However we recently figured out how to do it in a way that won't bankrupt us, so keep your eyes peeled over the next few weeks...

Courtsdesk are rather misrepresenting this situation.

Quoting from an urgent question in the House of Lords a few days ago:

> HMCTS was working to expand and improve the service by creating a new data licence agreement with Courtsdesk and others to expand access to justice. It was in the course of making that arrangement with Courtsdesk that data protection issues came to light. What has arisen is that this private company has been sharing private, personal and legally sensitive information with a third-party AI company, including potentially the addresses and dates of birth of defendants and victims. That is a direct breach of our agreement with Courtsdesk, which the Conservatives negotiated.

Unfortunately I can't find any video of it running, but there's a picture here: https://oldbytes.space/@rc2014/112557511719828847

I've always been a fan of the https://everytimezone.com interface, which seems like it may have been acquired at some point. Still works brilliantly though!

This is the second time one of my posts has caused issues for the chaos.social admins. I am so, so sorry.

The hacker news DDOS is real.

This is my toot, but the credit (and possibly the link) should be to @gigabecquerel: https://chaos.social/@gigabecquerel/109818433760462038

There are other stations on the U-Bahn with uranium tiles too, you can find them with the crowdsourced Safecast radiation map: https://map.safecast.org/?y=52.5002&x=13.4852&z=13&l=0&m=9
