Cold and wet. But not freezing.
Yesterday was cool all day but sunny in patches.
I got some stuff done. Got out to my remaining client’s house and got him all back working. Combination of failing gear, gear that got reset to initial state, and changing settings.
While there I learned that my client and his wife both got covid. Mild and short cases, but classic symptoms. He brought it home, likely from the hospital. Protocols failed somewhere. While working through the issues there with my sometimes business partner on the phone I learned that his actual business partner got it and died. 200 pounds overweight was probably the co-morbidity. He was no longer inclined to joke about covid. His partner was 42. That increases the number of people in my circle, one or two degrees of separation, that had it, and it increases the number that died from it. I’ve never had anyone I know die from flu.
Daughter’s school had a kid and staff member test positive this week. That’s a small sample but it’s double the week before and 4x the two weeks before that. IOW, it appears to be increasing in frequency.
The Solarwind penetrations look worse and worse. NO way to every trust those systems again, the attackers had too much time in them. And they were in everything important according to first reports. Given that first reports are almost always wrong, it’s hella early to be calling for war with Russia. Someone needs to be ‘reprisal-ed’ but we better be sure about the target.
Still two weeks to go in 2020, I’d like to get through them WITHOUT adding “hot war with Russia” to the list of unbelievable bad shirt happening.
It’s a list that includes actual honeypot physical spy stuff and assassination.
All the stuff set in motion this year will still be moving next year.
Anyone still doubt this is one of those times when everything changes?
From the masthead at WRSA– “How will you improve the survivability of your people this weekend?”
Think about that for a while, then start working on it. Keep stacking.

(anyone else think the timing of the Solarwind revelations is just a TAD suspicious?)
