Volcanoes and Ozone
This was posted to the fediverse after I asked how the ozone layer is being further depleted despite the world wide ban on CFCs and similar chemicals. It turns out that a volcano can throw out chemicals that can react and reduce Ozone (O_3) in the atmosphere.
Tonga's eruption injected so much water into Earth’s atmosphere that it could weaken the ozone layer

Code Club 7/10/2023 Write up
We had four of the regulars today. It was a mix of coding in Scratch but also sorting out some of the netbooks, trying to download Win 7 and get this copied on to a memory stick so we can install. First attempt to dd the iso file failed, second attempted worked but ended up with the device not booting or being seen by the netbook.
So a good session.

Thanks to ITSEC News for posting this to Mastodon / Fediverse.
There is certainly a lot to think about here, and I guess this is only a small fraction of the story. A good reason to treat your security staff properly, pay them accordingly and train all your staff in solid policies and procedures around security.
