After AI took his job as an online assistant, Mr Clippy was obliged to seek work in other sectors
Yesterday evening, while waiting at a stop light to turn left, I was struck by a felon running from police. This is not a fun week. I am alright.
At the dealer for a warranty recall and inspection. The nationwide system outage is still ongoing. Apparently they attempted a restore but it got immediately compromised, which means they didn't fix the issue in testing or the threat actor was in for a while and their backdoor is in the backups.

"The fact that the EU interior ministers want to exempt police officers, soldiers, intelligence officers and even themselves from chat control scanning proves that they know exactly just how unreliable and dangerous the snooping algorithms are that they want to unleash on us citizens."

talking with @b0rk earlier about the history of UDP led me to notice that TCP is substantially older than IP! TCP was originally developed in 1974 for use with ARPAnet (published as RFC 675 <https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc675.txt>). The earliest version of what is now known as IP appears to have been developed starting in 1977, with earliest publication in IEN 2 <https://www.rfc-editor.org/ien/ien2.txt>.

A serious heatwave in parts of Canada is still ongoing.
I'm just grateful it's not snowing. Shoveling in this heat would be brutal.
systemd 256.1: Now slightly less likely to delete /home • The Register

Endoscopy this morning. I always get a bit of a beating with anaesthesia and I slept for four hours when I got home. Of course now I can't bloody sleep. The dog is also snoring next to the bed and apparently dreaming of chasing something.
Power's out, and has been for over an hour. I've got a Ryobi power pack thing that takes the same batteries my mower and leaf blower use; it's been doing really well running telly and router.

In social media, all ambiguity is resolved in favor of whatever interpretation is most malevolent.
