"Truly the worst portrait"? Let me show you the internet, you orange menace.

This one has been making the rounds and is quite appropriate.

"Why stress out, it doesn't affect you?" said the people who got us into this fucking mess. Kapos, the lot of them.

You'd think that a "businessman" would know that uncertainly is bad for business. Then again, he's a failed "businessman".

It was a wee bit windy yesterday. Actually, the windiest its been in Cove since we've been here. Dust storm from West Texas.

After uncounted iterations, I may have come up with a new Slider joystick that I'm happy with. Plus, it will scale in size (for feet, etc.) and work with other sensors (instead of the analog slider joystick -- which tends to fail). It will be good to start making these available again.

Anger is useless unless you apply the energy productively. Rage is a great motivator. Use it effectively.

If you want to get through, you first must make sure that your e-mail isn't marked as external by filters. There are children in charge, so it's likely that just the basics are being covered.

I would like to introduce the script kiddies to some NIST security policies, which they may not be aware of:

* Intrusion Detection Systems with Honey Pots
* Log monitoring and protection
* Audit and rollback of transactions
* File Integrity monitoring
* Malware protection, detection, and removal.

I, for one, would like to congratulate our next Postmaster General, Eric Trump, Esq. He will truly be an asset, once he learns to read.

@11218bell.bsky.social Now that FB had banned 82yo grandmas, her daily Sally Forth will be here. It's Monday, February 17, 2025.

Well, FB arbitrarily disabled my 82yo mom's account. That's that for me. I'm downloading my data and deleting that account. (And fuck zuck, in general.) My only "social" site (for now) will be here. Asynchronous communication is my preferred method. E-mail is best as it fits my haphazard schedule.
