One fun part of using single-use email accounts is you can tell when a company had an undisclosed data breach. 🤷‍♀️

There are some things I'd like you to know before you get back on the road (with me).

Everyday computer security.

I just discovered that one of my neighbors does not use a password manager. Bitwarden now installed and operating.

They were at least backing up to our local "cloud" service.

Spotify recommended a "Jazz Rap" playlist this morning, and it's the perfect chill for a wet day like today.

This is kind of neat.

Cloudflare was able to track yesterday's eclipse based on the corresponding drop in internet traffic while everyone was staring at the sky.

I really can't get enough of this track.

Here's the best image I didn't take of the eclipse today.

(We had to travel south for other reasons so I asked a computer to show me what I missed. I think it took some liberties.)

The tumor next to his heart is smaller post-radiation, and there isn't any new growths or other masses. He does have some lung inflammation where the radiation was applied so we got a steroid to help with that. Will recheck with an X-ray in a month.

Varda commanded the Moon to journey in like manner, and passing under Earth to arise in the east, but only after the Sun had descended from heaven. But Tilion went with uncertain pace, as yet he goes, and was still drawn towards Arien, as he shall ever be; so that often both may be seen above the Earth together, or at times it will chance that he comes so nigh that his shadow cuts off her brightness and there is a darkness amid the day.

We're heading to Auburn again for a follow-up CT to see how Pippin is responding to the radiation treatment he had in December. He seems to have really improved since then (no more coughing when he gets excited) but it will be good to have confirmation of what's going on inside his chest.

Merry came along to provide moral support / little brother energy.

I raced in our second event of the year yesterday, and it was a ton of fun (as always). I love when we get a course that wraps around the stadium and uses up most of the parking lot.

My little setup is growing!

Work gifted me a pair of HP Elite Mini 800 G9 PCs to supplement my efforts (recognizing that my weekend/evening tinkering helps me be more effective while at work).

Each of these little guys packs a 12-core 12th-gen i7 and 96 gigglebytes of RAM. This should keep me sated for a little while.

There are some great ways to use generative AI.

Copy/pasting responses to "explain" things to others isn't one of them.

It's early Monday and this made me spill coffee on myself.

I strapped a 1TB SSD to each Blade, and did a Very Professional Job of mounting them in the wall.

I've fleshed out my Salt high state for these to address the prereqs I could think of, so I think I'm about ready to start putting these to work soon.
