I'm sad because UniSys updated its weather pages today. For something over
twenty years, I've had current weather information on my web page. Today, the
images I used were either deleted or moved. I've looked at the source of
their new pages; they've changed so many things, I can't find the maps and
other items I've used. So "deleted" seems to be more accurate.

I kinda think Steve Ansari Steve.Ansari@noaa.gov is related to Aziz.
They're both from the Carolinas. One writes funny stuff and the other
is an actor.

I'm sad because we're currently banned from the Freenode
IRC network because Grex is on the "DroneBL" list. Staff on
Freenode are looking into getting us unblocked and suggested
that Grex might want to install something called identd.

Oh yikes...they want federated login? Next they'll want barcodes on our

identd is totally insecure and, frankly, kind of useless.

resp:85 sorry, I didn't mean to come across as flippant.
The issue with ident is that when you connect to some remote
system, the distant end connects back to ident service on the
machine you're connecting from (if it can) and queries it
for who you are by sending some metadata about the your
connection to them.
The first problem is that, with all the firewalling and so
forth used these days, more often than not the distant end
can't connect to the machine you're coming from anyway (either
it'll hit a NAT gateway, or the traffic is just rejected).
The second problem is that there's nothing at all that
prevents your system from straight-up lying to the distant
end.
This protocol never worked particularly well, but it made
more sense when the Internet was much smaller, connections
were generally end-to-end, and most users connected via
machines that could be at least somewhat trusted.
Sadly, identd is a relic from a bygone era.

IBB because this new manager job means full time programming and half
time managing and management meetings. So now I'm working too many hours
each week and starting to think another job would be better. I like the
system we use and have used it for many years now and know all the
backend parts of it. But if I have to do 60+ hr. weeks all the time.
I might have to quit and find a more reasonable position. This week
I logged off at 5:45 p.m. on Friday because I was wanting a reasonable
Friday and we'll see if anyone notices. Got a lot of stuff done around
the house and garage that needed doing as a result. Winter is coming!

Thanks, tod. Yeah, I've heard other people say they aren't going to
work extra hours anymore. Of course the last guy that got fired, so maybe
it's not such a good idea. We'll see.

Way too much work, lots of unpaid overtime, for example. Not following
SOPs, which, in a regulated industry could be a regulatory audit issue
(and even potentially a legal issue) where I'd be the person responsible
(my boss tells me to let it go, we'll do it later, but later never
comes). And on and on. My life has basically fallen apart. Things
around the home aren't getting done, for example. It's too stressful.
