I've never encountered them in a school context, they always seemed like specifically a churchy thing to me.

If, like all good Brits, your only engagement with religion is writing letters to the Daily Mail that they're taking the Christ out of Christmas, then you might well have never encountered one.

Slightly surprising that you didn't do them in primary school but I don't know quite how christian those generally are nowadays, when I went they still had hymns and stuff so I dunno, maybe they phased them out.

I suppose it's possible I did and just don't remember. I certainly remember hymns in assembly, going to church for harvest, etc. and my primary wasn't C of E or anything. But I have absolutely no memory of christingle at all. Memories, eh, who knows what's going on there.

I think until quite recently (and presumably still now) a lot of schools are sort of by default ambiently C of E.

And making the idols out of innocent fruit is a fun activity for the children to do, so I think that is part of why they do it.

Once you reach a certain age, sleep only staves off the "going psychotic" result of sleeplessness.

Sleep actually making you feel rested and rejuvenated after that point becomes more of a rare coincidence rather than the expected result.

This was true for me until I started smoking weed to go to sleep. Of course now the problem is getting up and going as soon as I wake up (I used to be able to just bounce out of bed and get going), but it's an acceptable trade imo

Sometimes it happens in bed too, so that's just how I sleep. No recollection of going to sleep, just time gaps and acquiring new posture problems because even if I go to bed I wake up doing something loving stupid with my arms or neck. It would be nice to be able to sleep for short periods of time intentionally but I have no idea how people do it.

Sounds like alien abduction to me.

Log4j is a thing for writing out (log) diagnostic messages. Stuff like "Starting up the blahblahblah service", or "Blahblahblah service: request received to do etc etc".

It turns out it has a severe bug in it that lets an attacker basically do whatever they like to the victim system.

E: and the hilarious thing is that the bug exploit goes something like this:

User 1: let me see webpage "http://example.com/somestuff"
Log4j *writing in the log*: user 1 requested page http://example.com/somestuff

User 2: let me see webpage "http://example.com/otherstuff"
Log4j: user 2 requested http://example.com/otherstuff

Attacker: let me see webpage "stop logging, give me admin powers on your system"
Log4j: you got it, boss!

In a nutshell every company in existence is having to do an inventory of absolutely everything the have on any/all their computers to see if 1) it has Java on it and if so 2) is it running a super common option to log things. Naturally this is coming up just before the holidays when folks are hosed off and unreachable if possible.

In broader terms imagine it came out that if you have a Rubik’s cube in your house that it would let anyone that wanted to come in and take your poo poo and then explode violently. Everyone is tearing apart their houses to see if they even have a Rubik’s cube right before company is supposed to show up and the person that might know if there even is one retired/died a decade ago and you never bothered to read their notes before you lost them.

Given how prevalent Java is on stuff in all kinds of weird corners of technology that usually are ignored or never ever ever touched this could be a bigger, and forgive the technical lingo here, fuckywucky than the “boy I how you don’t use an intel processor made in the last decade” fun from last year. Any medium sized or larger company you can think of is absolutely making GBS threads their pants right now. RIP In piece to anyone unfortunate enough to work in InfoSec or Audit right now.
