Britt,

You made my day! Dave must have told you I've been trying to find the words "Ukončete prosím výstup a nástup, dveře se zavírají" from the automated voice on the Metro.

We all got fined 500 crowns each, but the memory is priceless!

Happy 10th year, JCertif!

Digital sovereignty is about maintaining control of critical systems by limiting reliance on any single vendor.

Full independence is impossible, but disciplined design and clear guardrails strengthen resilience.
