I am back in Tidewater, visiting my recuperating mother, and my grandfather who came up to visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is strange being here, certainly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m also prepping for Shmoocon next weekend, and tying up loose ends from yet another rebuild on this server.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I can’t find a lot of what I wrote between 2015 and 2o18.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have SQL dumps that I can pick through, but I really haven’t had the energy or patience to do it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am still trying, too, to really pull out everything I’d put in for a job search during my periods of unemployment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I really do love where I work, now. I wish I was healthier so I could move off on to something they’re doing that’s different than what I’ve done since 2005.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I got distracted just now by a friend on Facebook appealing to the usual sources for fact-checking before posting of stories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Um. Okay. So only check facts from sites that are biased as hell<\/strong> before you share something. Perhaps SPLC should have been on that list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It did distract me from something else I wanted to talk about the Apple backup story<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At first, I was disturbed by this, what with AG Barr’s misguided attempts to have backdoors engineered into encryption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That, of course, was a bit of a knee-jerk response. I’d missed the part about these backup sets being store on an iCloud Drive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wanna keep shit suparsekret? Encrypt it yourself, and store it on physical media under your control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes, that Apple made the decision after FBI pressure bothers me, but it doesn’t change the fact that it is technically-possible to keep whatever it is you have from prying eyes, government or otherwise. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
