I’m just a regular it guy running a couple servers on a government network and the spike in malicious scans from some Chinese and similar IPs is just wild and this is on a system I’ve been maintaining for almost a decade.

that reminds me I should send my annual reminder to the city and councillor to mark the drains on my street. There are few (because of a hill) and they never put the markers in the middle after repaving. I can never find them

we’re supposed to ignore that the canal is perfectly cleared as of Tuesday or maybe even Monday but they didn’t clear the MUP on QED until Wednesday and it’s so lumpy it’s nit really passable

in Sandy Hill they cleared Russel and Marlborough which, while important driving streets, are not the bus routes on Mann, Somerset E, Range, or chapel.

they let tools like the VPN client steal focus visually so you can enter your password but it doesn’t always get focus so you’re still typing in Teams. It’s really dangerous.
