I kind of get the feeling that #VMware doesn't know what they're doing.
"vSphere+/VCF+ customers who have connected their SDDC Manager/vCenter to the Cloud Console are encouraged to migrate from SaaS to on-premises deployments to benefit from our product investments and roadmap."

So how do I deal with issues of current events that presage trouble or possible wars?
Well the process sounds utterly ridiculous when my friend describes it this way...

A great deal of pain on this earth is caused by others assuming they control a decision that is ultimately not theirs because it offends their belief system.
1. Transgender people existing
2. Same sex attraction existing
3. Women’s voices for their own body
…
Pro-life, Men’s rights, parent’s rights, superstraights, TERFs are all trying to enforce their choice on others.
Because my web presence didn't incorporate enough shoestring and duct tape already, my posts on Scribbles now get "echoed" to a GitHub repo where they get parsed, converted to gemtext, and deployed to my Gemini capsule.
(Yeah, this is the kind of unnecessarily complicated shit I do for fun.)

I did some tinkering with Hugo to ask AI robots to please not steal my content.
And then told the bouncer to turn them away at the door for good measure.
Thinking about your security teams this weekend.

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. #music
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.

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.
