So I read the election files and the main takeaways, aside from a zillion ineligible people registered to vote, are:
- All the PII has probably been breached and
- Voting machines and registration systems have vulns too
So states and counties running election related things (but also the rest of you) should do the following:
- Back up data files regularly
- Audit data integrity and implement alerts
- Test out your backups
- Watch out for phishing, re-used passwords, enable MFA
- Watch out for ransomware, patch, least privilege
- Do network segmentation
and not once was AI mentioned. Honestly kind of impressed.

Yes, I have double-checked the bucket. No keys were leaked or anything added. It's not a phishing email as I suspected at first. No other service usage is shown. This is literally what the AWS console is showing me. It's been fun knowing y'all.

My entire AWS account I nearly forgot about has one bucket in glacier deep archive that totals to less than 1 TB, that cost less than a quarter per month. They have decided to start charging me over $100 billion per month.

Nice sounding word salad from OpenAI, but whoever defines "safety" becomes by definition the single institution with control of the capability. "Public oversight" in practice also always means one government agency controls how the capability can be used and who can do it.

this is my Fixy cap. Basically no wasted water. None of the complicated junk of the other ones. Has been working great. Just super annoyed they discontinued it.

Someone explain why all the bike water bottles being sold are lousy. Most lids trap an ounce or more in a moat around the valve that some sociopathic engineer designed. You'll be dying for the gulp of water sloshing around in your bottle that you can never drink without unscrewing the lid. Go ahead and ride home alone; the group ride isn't stopping for you.
The local cycling shop has mostly metal bottles. They're heavy. Water drips out. Just why? The plastic ones all have caps you need to manually open and close. C'mon, even ketchup bottles have self-sealing hands-free valves that allow a squirt out when you squeeze. Why can't more water bottles?
I also have an armful of bottles given away for free at various events. None of their lids seal well.
Anyway, the Specialized Purist Fixy's I bought a few weeks ago did everything right and were cheap too... and now they don't make them anymore! Maybe their Omni is OK? I don't know. But if anyone wants to do better, there's a great market of at least tens of dollars to sell to the five of us who care.

So anyway, my 2024 Christmas break project: load in ~1s and graphically see when the cold front hits.
