@sxa woohoo glad you got sorted!

@neil @dave That was my first one!

Oh it's Band T-Shirt Day. I forgot. I'll change into one later for ice skating

I'm only now figuring out that today's npm attack is distinct from yesterday's npm attack.

Not trying to be alarmist but I think someone has found a way around ikiwiki’s comment moderation.
